#101 Are You Being the Change?

It’s been a while.  During the holiday season life took a severe turn and I (Melody) lost one of the most important people in my life. We appreciate your patience as we took a very long hiatus to allow me to get my self together, finish writing a book, grieve, and just have some time uncoupled from a few extra activities…like this podcast.  Sometimes you have to let things go and just regroup. That’s exactly what we have done. Thank you so much for being here. Our first time back in the podcaster seat may be a little bumpy. We had several computer challenges while recording this. But that’s life right!   We hope to rekindle our relationship with you my friend. As always, we are candidly sharing our journey with you. Our mistakes, our failures, our victories, our challenges, and our successes.  Eat Fat and Prosper!  Steve and Melody

#99 The Virus Vaccine

Every holiday season we hear the stories from friends, clients. and even our own personal experiences,  about getting stuck in a rut on the proverbial hamster wheel.  How do we stay on plan during this time of year? Especially this year,  because 2020 has been a real challenge! With gyms being closed for some and stay at home orders that can even interfere with outdoor activity it’s difficult to get on a program and make it stick. The holidays are a time when it’s easy to get derailed in our dietary strategy too! How can we make sure that one off-plan day doesn’t turn into an off-plan month, or two? Check out the website we mention to find Raw Milk in your state:  RealMilk.com We hope everyone of you enjoys your Thanksgiving holiday! Meet us back here next week!  Eat Fat and Prosper!

#76 Minimizing Damage During the Holidays

David Hippensteel

This is a special episode! We reached out to Dave Hippensteel and he was so gracious and agreed to spend a little time chatting with us about his journey.  David Hippensteel is a 6 -time CrossFit Games masters athlete and the champion of the 2016, 2017 and 2018 Masters 60+ Division.  Now before you think to yourself… “Don’t they make it easier for the 60+ athletes? I mean they probably don’t do anything too difficult, right?”  You would be so WRONG! These ladies and gentlemen are doing things like handstand walks, rope climbs,  muscle ups and lifting weight over their heads that most young athletes have a difficult time with. Catch a little glimpse here. A former triathlete and decathlete, he started CrossFit in 2012, winning the 2013 Open in the 55-59 Division just one year later and making his first Games appearance with a fifth-place finish in 2013.  He placed 5th and 8th in his division at the Games for the next two years before earning his title in the 60+ Division in 2016 and then defending that title in 2017 and 2018!  Look for him to be defending his title this August in Madison, Wisconsin at the 2019 CrossFit Games!  You can check out the previous CrossFit Games on YouTube. Just click here for the 2018 CrossFit Masters Competition: Diane &amp; Couplet Dave is also a practicing dentist and founder of Screaming Eagle CrossFit in Clarksville, Tennessee, Hippensteel’s daughter Heather Hippensteel has also competed at the Games for 4 years since 2013 on team Invictus including the year Invictus won the championship in 2014.   He and his wife Carol of 35+ years have 3 other children, Jonathan, Joelle, and Troy who are all doing CrossFit also among other sports.  During our conversation with Dr. Dave you’ll quickly learn that faith and family are the most important areas of his life. He’s also not afraid of new challenges. He recently traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio to participate on NBCs American Ninja Warrior Qualifier!  So set your calendars, DVRs, etc. for July 1, 2019 and maybe we will catch a glimpse of Dr. Dave on the show!  Dr. Dave mentions some tools he utilizes in his training!   Whoop: The World’s Most Powerful Fitness Tracker Inside Tracker: Optimize Health and Wellness   Revive RX Rocktape Klean Athlete  Once again we learn that age is just a number and nothing is impossible. We had such an amazing time chatting with Dave and know that you will leave this conversation as inspired as we did!  You can follow Dave on Instagram here: @davehipp Try this workout from ComptrainTrain Masters! See if you can keep up with Dave!   There are a few instances when you will hear the sound cut out during the episode. This was due to a poor internet connection we experienced periodically during the recording.  Now go Eat Fat and Prosper!  Steve and Melody
