Raul Villacis is a strategic consultant, motivational speaker, transformation leader, real estate expert, and a writer. He is the founder and CEO of The Next Level Experience. 

EPISODE 

Like me, Raul Villacis has gone through a radical transformation. He was in a job that was going nowhere, his body was in a constant pain that doctors couldn't figure out, and he found himself turning to alcohol to escape his reality. It wasn’t until he found the power of a morning ritual that he turned his life around. For such a simple practice, it is amazing the type of power it can have in revitalizing a life and career. He's now a successful coach running a sought-after mastermind group, and has learned to master his state in a way that keeps him in control of his emotions and his destiny. We discuss:

• how to open your mind to personal development
• creating a ritual that sticks
• the elements of a power statement that transform your subconscious
• the role that gratitude plays in your motivations

Luther Cowden is a certified Resistance Flexibility trainer based in Los Angeles, CA who travels internationally to offer Resistance Stretching classes, workshops, private assisted stretching, couples stretching, workplace stretching, and online training. He was originally trained by the founder, Bob Cooley. 

EPISODE

You probably don't know much about what Luther Cowden does, but it could improve your life for the better instantaneously. Luther is a resistance flexibility expert, which sounds like a niche specialty, but when is the last time we had the thought that "I'm just not a flexible person", or "I really lost the ability to touch my toes like I used to". We all have those things that we feel that we just can't do with our body. As it turns out, it goes a lot deeper than that. These flexibility problems we have are in majority attributed to dense fascia, a sort of build-up of hard scar tissue that prevents our muscles from doing what they should, and the effects of that can branch into difficulties with losing weight, anxiety problems, or constant pain. Luther, working from the teachings of Bob Cooley, has learned how to heal these problems permanently and instantaneously. We discuss how, along with:

•       the roles fascia has in our bodies
•       why a pain in your hip might really signal a problem in your hamstring
•       why you can pass 500 pounds through an elongated muscle
•       how resistance flexibility can identify why you aren't losing weight, and correct it instantly

 GET OPTIMIZED!

1.     Get a massage for relaxation purposes, but understand that it isn't going to remove that buildup of fascial tissue that is giving you the root of your trouble.
2.     Understand that you aren't an "inflexible" person, you are simply being stopped by an impeded biomechanical structure right now.
3.     Recognize the difference between true "flexibility" and range of motion. Just because you have a large range of motion, doesn't mean you aren't protecting yourself from strain.

Cristo D'Arcy is an alternative health expert who is a master in energy and healing. His objective is to free up individuals and companies from negative thoughts and experiences that are holding them back from achieving their potential.

EPISODE 

Cristo D'Arcy can't tell you exactly what he does. He's been a healer and energy restorer for around 15 years, and he manages to be simultaneously astounded by what he does as well as his biggest skeptic. Cristo has always been aware that he had skills that bordered on the fantastical. When he realized that his life wasn't made for conventional schooling, he looked to alternative medicines to be able to use his gift with others. But to him, it perhaps wasn't far-reaching enough. Instead, he was introduced to a kungfu grandmaster who taught him about energy healing, and something finally felt right. Now, he's traveling across the country giving individualized healings and diagnostics of what is going on in the energy spectrum of the body. Our body is made of so much more than the physical that we know of it. Cristo is right there at the forefront realizing how energy has so much to do with our latent potential.

Health has always been a huge priority in our lives; however we find so many people frustrated with the traditional path of wellbeing. Where traditional medicinal doctors are missing something, Cristo is cutting through the distractions to get at the real root of our problems, and getting faster results than he ever could have imagined. He generously reveals his insights on:

• how the subconscious knows more about our body than we ever could have dreamed
• how you can learn to muscle test others easily
• healing long-term pain instantly
• the speed of thought
• where conventional medicine just isn't cutting it
• finding your own truth

Dr. John Jaquish  is the Inventor of bioDensity system that rapidly enhances bone health for individuals that are affected by the bone disease osteoporosis and helps Astronauts that spend long periods of time in zero gravity.

EPISODE 

When John Jaquish developed the BioDensity machine, he had no idea of the commotion it would create in the fitness community. He was originally trying to develop a relief for his mother's osteoporosis. Not only did he achieve his goal in improving his mother's bone strength and fighting osteoperosis, he also started a revolution in muscle building, joint health, and bone health. He's CTO and innovator of BioDensity, a physical training machine that works to build strength and build density of muscle, bone, and joints, and its far from your regular weight training.

John tapped into the power of high-impact training, and ever since he's been helping others around the country use natural adaptation of the body to achieve unbelievable results. I personally have tried his machine, and was able to run over 1000 pounds through my lower extremities without discomfort. Naturally, I wanted to glean some insider tips on how health nuts as well as the average citizen can take advantage of this amazing top-of-the-line technology. He was generous enough to share some absolutely fascinating information on how you can:

• build muscle in 20 seconds per week

• safely put 1000 lbs on your lower extremities

• structurally fatigue your muscle to actually build more muscle tissue instead of larger muscle tissue

• dramatically increase your functional strength, even when you are elderly

3. If you have an older person in your life that could benefit from increased muscle strength, consider recommending biodensity or signing them up for a membership at a local studio.
