In part 2 of my conversation with Tawnee, we start off with a discussion about cold therapy and heat therapy. As many of you know, cold plunges have been an integral part of my daily routine for some time now, so I share a few choice tips, as well as some of the many benefits that I’ve been getting out of my daily practice. People have been doing this in Finland for many, many years, so clearly there’s something to it, but how do you do it exactly? Is there a right way and a wrong way? Is cryotherapy worth all the hype? Is it really an instant cure for anxiety? The answers to those questions are no, and yes, and soon, you’ll get way more information about the subject as I’m actually currently working on a book all about this ancient healing modality - there is still so much to learn about the benefits of cold therapy, as well as the best methods to use for maximum effectiveness. This segues into a discussion about heat therapy, and I tell Tawnee about the home sauna I’ve recently invested in, which I have been using frequently and really enjoying lately - so simple, and the perfect companion to a cold plunge. Speaking of cold water, Tawnee entertains us with some great stories about life on the road aka VAN LIFE! Can you imagine taking a cold shower when you’re in a van while it’s 40 degrees outside? Yikes! But as Tawnee explains, the main thing that got her through the icy shower was knowing that, since cold water is a hormetic stressor, the cold shower was actually good for her. You know what else is good for you? Not being tied down to having to eat regular meals as your main source of energy. We also talk about how I was actually advised by my doctor to “eat more healthy food” and why I advocate for being extremely strict, dedicated, and committed to the purity and quality of your diet, instead of just trying to discipline yourself through the use of “moderation.” I see “moderation” as a pretty ineffective method when you think about the fact that we are the fattest nation by far. As William Davis explains in his book  Wheat Belly, the gliadin protein in gluten actually stimulates your appetite and causes you to eat more...and he’s not talking about eating a tiny snack here and there, he’s talking 300 calories per day more! My thoughts on moderation are, when these things like sugar and gluten are so powerfully addictive, how can you even really indulge in them moderately? It’s such a slippery slope... There’s a reason why Dr. Robert Lustig says a little bit of sugar leads to a lot of sugar, because after the inevitable blood sugar crash, you find that you’re instantly craving more. So, my view on moderation is, when it’s so tough to be moderate with these things anyways, why try and struggle so much, just to satisfy that craving to have “only a little bit?” I also think if you don’t place the highest priority onto your health and your diet, that in itself is a habit that is seriously worth trying to turn around ASAP. Some things might seem extreme, like automatically reading the labels on everything you buy. But since you can never really be sure that someone else’s health standards are up to par with yours, you’ve got to cultivate healthy habits, such as reading labels automatically, and make sure it sets in, so it no longer feels like this thing you’re doing that might be too extreme or make you too picky of an eater, but it’s just a normal part of your routine. This applies to bad oils too. Unfortunately, it can be quite challenging to avoid these since they’re hidden practically everywhere, so you do have to be proactive and assertive and just ask restaurants if they can cook your food in butter. Is it possible to be too strict on the bad oils stance? Is it ok to occasionally indulge? Unfortunately...no, not really. The reason why you cannot let this one slide is because the effects it has on your health are super serious: as Dr. Cate  explained on the show, bad oils are so toxic that just one serving of French fries can harden your arteries and make blood flow less difficult for up to 24 hours. It’s actually worse for you than smoking!   OK, so we pretty much know what to do now, right? Just eat clean, whole foods, don’t smoke, don’t let bad oils sneak into your diet, and you’re all good, right? Well...not always. It’s just not that simple…. the reality is, so many people have autoimmune diseases and food allergies, which can complicate things. Avocados, almonds, and beets might be staple foods for one person, but will cause severe allergic reactions for someone else. As Tawnee points out, so many people think they’re doing the right thing for their health by eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, and they don’t even realize that they’re inadvertently causing harm to their digestive system, because they don’t even know that some of the “clean food” they’re eating doesn’t work their particular body! And how do you know that you’re eating food that your body is sensitive to? Do you get bloated after eating? Do you burp or hiccup after meals? If you are experiencing these symptoms, then you know that internally, something could be way off. Tawnee also urges us not to forget the importance of testing - you can get blood tests done, you can take a stool test, and Tawnee also recommends doing a GI test, so you can get a feel for what is happening internally on a real, scientific level. Tests are not usually inexpensive, but they are undoubtedly worth it, considering the amount of information you will learn about your body, and what you can do with that information - which is know how to heal yourself by lowering inflammation and giving your body the proper fuel, so you can thrive, and not merely survive. Tawnee has helped countless clients with her knowledge about nutrition, so sit back, relax, and take advantage of this opportunity to learn from a true health and wellness expert.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-get-over-yourself-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tawnee Prazak Part 2: Tales From Van Life, Cold/Hot Water Therapy, And Why Moderation Isn’t Enough

Tawnee is the popular host of the long-running Endurance Planet podcast, accomplished amateur triathlete, and respected coach. She is one of the queens of the endurance scene, and her programming extends from endurance training principles to healthy eating and mindful living. She walks her talk with great devotion to not just racing fast, but doing it in a healthy manner. Our visit at her beautiful home overlooking the Pacific in Laguna Beach, CA was quite significant and impactful, for Tawnee has only recently returned to the public eye after a long period of mourning the loss of her baby Whitney after a full-term pregnancy and childbirth. Tawnee has been incredibly vulnerable and open about the entire experience, processing the extreme grief, and soul searching how to move forward and continue living life. Visit her Instagram @tawneegibson and her blog, Life After Whitney for some powerful reflections about grief and healing. It was a pleasure to reconnect with this smiling, vibrant, very pregnant woman in January of 2019 and we recorded a pretty great show. It turned out to be a hybrid broadcast of our original intent to record two separate shows: Tawnee interviewing me for the Endurance Planet audience about matters of interest like hormones, diet, and evolved training methods and competitive mindset; and me interviewing Tawnee for the Get Over Yourself show to discuss her journey of healing and returning to the groove of daily life and returning to Endurance Planet broadcasts. So we smoothly interchanged the roles of host and guest, and talked long enough to support two full episodes. You will be inspired by Tawnee’s strength and courage to not only tell her story in a raw and unfiltered manner, but also her commitment to healing and pursuing all manner of self-improvement, including a meditation retreat. On my side, I deliver choice plugs for my morning chest freezer cold therapy, maintaining my competitive intensity with Speedgolf competition, and my (soon to be) viral blog article about how I  doubled my testosterone level in seven months going from what would be clinically a hypo diagnosis (below the bottom of the normal range) to the 95th percentile for males even in the younger age groups. We talk about a more sensible approach to diet than the warring factions and dogma of the various fad diets like keto and vegan. Yes, it’s a blending of different themes, in the spirit of the evolved medium of podcasting. Enjoy this hopefully interesting and thought-provoking conversation! TIMESTAMPS: Brad talks about the life lessons that come from competitive outlets like Speedgolf [10:30]. Don’t let your quest for physical fitness overshadow the importance of mental wellness and personal relationships in your life [15:25]. The experience of putting yourself out there and getting out of your comfort zone is more important than the actual end result [20:00]. There is a price to pay when you use positivity as a coping mechanism and ignore your true feelings and needs [23:00]. Tawnee shares how meditation and doing inner work was key to her survival after experiencing tragic loss [28:25]. Be mindful to not think in black and white terms when it comes to peak performance goals, as this causes most people to challenge themselves too hard, too frequently [36:15]. Tawnee and Brad talk about why minimally stressful exercise, like walking, is so key [45:00]. How to minimize the general decline that comes with aging [51:40]. Do you approach exercise strategically, or are you just burning off excess energy with ill-advised workouts? [54:50]. Brad shares details about the effectiveness of cold exposure and sauna use [57:20].Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-get-over-yourself-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tawnee Prazak and Brad: Reflections on Healing From Tragedy Blended With Tips For Athletic Peak Performance, Diet, Recovery, And Testosterone

In this week’s episode of Food, Sex &amp; Life for the Modern Woman, Tawnee Prazak takes us through her journey of developing an eating disorder during her college years, and how she came out of that, recovering into what she has become now: a Holistic Endurance Coach. We go over the damages a woman’s body goes through when she’s an endurance athlete with the typical nutrition plan. She talks to us about getting real with the voices in our head and overcoming them, healing our bodies with functional medicine, what a healthy diet plan for women will look like to reach fat adaptation. We’ve talked a lot about functional medicine on the podcast previously. To get more in depth on the subject check out this interview:  What the ‘Bleep’ is Functional Medicine with Dr. Cole.   Functional Medicine and Endurance Sports Most of us are overtraining for what is healthy for us without the proper nutrition. It’s not just a matter of going out for a long run, and eating all our calories back with low quality foods. “We need to fuel to train, not train to fuel”   This is Tawnee’s sweet spot. Working with clients to find out exactly where their bodies are at in terms of hormone health and gut health, and making the changes necessary to still participate in endurance sports in the best health. On the podcast, she goes over some of the tests that can be ordered online to get this process started. There is so much good information in this episode, you’ll want to listen in a few times.   What is Fat Adaptation? First and foremost, this is not for someone who has not found hormonal balance or hasn’t dealt with their autoimmune symptoms. This is for someone in optimal health. In Tawnee’s words, this is the healthiest you can do for your body. It entails eating a lot of fat. And unfortunately, in the US we have been taught that fat is bad. There are evil fats out there, ie: donuts, twinkies, too much pizza, etc. And there are good fats, generally in the form of oils, ie: coconut oil. Fat adaptation is when the body uses fat for energy, rather than carbs or sugars. But we have to drastically reduce our carbohydrate and sugar intake to train the body to burn our fat instead. The bodies preferred energy source are carbs and sugars because they’re more readily available as glucose, whereas fat has to be converted into glucose in order to be burned for energy. The beauty of increasing our healthy fat intake, is that it helps us break out of carb and sugar addiction. It doesn’t mean you don’t eat carbs. It ‘s all about timing your macro nutrients and consuming quality carbs. Listen in to learn what Tawnee recommends for timing your carbs, fasted trainings, and differences between what works for men and what works best for women.     Tawnee’s 3 Habits to Ensure Her Health Journey:  Infrared Sauna- very meditative Walking- her aha moment Interaction with water- It’s very therapeutic. Just float and feel it.  Cold thermogenesis has many benefits as well.    Not the first time we hear one of our guests rave about the benefits of plain ol’ walking. Check out  The Four Pillars of Weight Loss- Part IV, Exercise with Jason Seib to learn more about how walking can be even more beneficial than any other exercise.   Tawnee’s Bio: Tawnee Prazak, MS, CSCS, of Laguna Beach, Calif., is a holistic endurance coach, multisport athlete and host/owner of the Endurance Planet podcast. She’s been involved in the endurance world for a decade, both as a competitive triathlete and also as one of today’s leading experts on endurance training, racing, nutrition, strength training and athlete wellness. Her own journey of recovering from being “fit but unhealthy” shaped her philosophy as a coach, and she now focuses on helping athletes optimize health and performance with cutting-edge and often “unconventional” techniques. She consults with athletes of all levels worldwide, and you can tune in to new podcasts on Endurance Planet twice a week. When not coaching or podcasting, Tawnee can be found running the trails, stand-up paddleboarding in the ocean, practicing yoga, swinging kettlebells, or in the kitchen creating the latest healthy meal.
