Healthy 4 Now Podcast

In this show, we go back and forth with our take on meal prepping. Everyone has a different reason "WHY" and also a different definition of what meal prepping feels like to them. We believe it's going to benefit you because we've experienced it for ourselves. Once you know what you're aiming to accomplish you can practice honing in on new skills each week. If you have any goal related to being more efficient, saving time, boosting energy, and just feeling good then this episode was made for you.

Are you getting what you really need in order to combat inflammation inside of your body? We tend to lead lives that lean on the "more stressful" side of things. The human body is amazing and it can adapt within reason to whatever you throw at it on a regular basis...until all of a sudden, it can't anymore. Lifestyle choices play a role in how your body is either breaking itself down or building back stronger. Antioxidants help keep you healthy 4 now by limiting free radicals in the system that cause damage down at the cellular level.

In this short episode, we take a few minutes to celebrate the small victories and share what this podcast has taught us. Perspective is everything. We know don’t have the best podcast setup but we make s*** happen and get s*** done :) We don’t make excuses…we make progress and ignore perfection. We live the Healthy 4 Now Vibe and appreciate others who embrace it with us. Learning is living and that’s what we’re both committed to. Cheers to you and your goals (both big and small). The only way to reach your dreams is to start working towards them. Don’t forget to celebrate your success. It’s worth talking about and reflecting upon :)

There’s no magic pill out there to get you into incredible shape but there are some great supplements that will help you build insurance in the whole process. In this episode, we break down some of the options you have related to post-workout supplementation so you can continue to live #healthy4now and get stronger!

One of the biggest issues with supplements these days is that people like you and me are taking them without a second thought. We truly don't know what it is that we are ingesting and what the benefits/consequences might ultimately be (both short and long-term). Shame on you!!! Just kidding ;) Shame on all of us if I’m being truthful. I’m no hypocrite. I’m totally guilty of taking the easy route with supplements too, and I’m committed to investigating the truth behind the claims. Doing the research helps me feel like an educated buyer and gives me more confidence to follow the science. I want this for you too. Both Eric and I want you to feel #Healthy4Now. The marketing has truly evolved into something that can trigger us into being volunteer subjects in the free market of experimenting with pre-workout supplements. These companies know this and will forever take advantage of the uneducated consumer (and that’s the majority). In this episode, we dive in a little deeper into some of the claimed benefits of a few ingredients and also call each other out on bad habits.

Sleep supplements are a multi-billion dollar industry, but are you wasting money when you choose a sleep-aid? You have a ton of choices at your fingertips and they all claim to deliver on the promise of a restful night of sleep. What's worth it and what's not? Effective sleep is all about habit and consistency but there is some value in supplementing in certain cases. What works and what doesn't? Take a listen and find out!

Both Vitamin E and K are POWERFUL anti-oxidants, but these two vitamins are essential in drastically different ways. We can admit that micronutrients are not the most exciting topic when it comes to health. We break them down anyway and tell you what we think you need to be aware of when evaluating your lifestyle with the goals of living Healthy 4 Now.

Finishing up the B Vitamins discussion and covering B7, B9, and B12 in this short episode. We hope you find some value in paying attention to where you regularly get your dosage of these essential micronutrients. Next up are episodes on Vitamins E and K as we finish up the micronutrients series and move on to more cool stuff. Keep on living Healthy 4 Now and give us a review if you haven't yet :)

We thought we could get through all the B vitamins in one episode but that simply wasn't the case. This is part one of two episodes covering the B Vitamin Complex. In this discussion, we cover where you get these in your diet, how they're beneficial to your development, and why it's essential for your energy and metabolism. Stay tuned for the second episode on B Vitamins. We know how excited you are to listen to us talk about vitamins, LOL. Seriously, we appreciate the downloads ;)

The little things in life matter most and that concept applies to your nutrition too! Take a proactive approach and optimize your health by ensuring what you eat on a regular basis is what your body craves (beyond the macros of course). This is part one of a handful of episodes where we discuss vitamins and minerals that are essential to keep you living Healthy 4 Now and functioning at your best!
