When it comes to physicians that truly understand the whole picture - mindset, nutrition, and physical fitness - no one explains it better in our opinion than Dr. Jade Teta. Dr. Jade is a naturopathic physician, personal trainer, author, wellness expert and an all around kick-ass dude! This week, we learn about his philosophy of how our mind, our metabolism and our muscles should best be approached for optimal performance. How EVERY BODY is different and should be treated as such.

Some reflection on what I feel holds us back in so many areas life. Why so often do not pursue what we WANT in life because we stay comfortable with what we SHOULD do. I challenge you all to become uncomfortable, for that is only when true change occurs. 

Climbing the highest mountains, rowing across the Atlantic Ocean, coming face-to-face with death and even losing several fingers to pursue his life's mission - STEP OUT, SHOVE OFF! Laval St. Germain shares with us what it is like to pursue adventure in a myriad of different ways and the obstacles that life (and Mother Nature) has in store during that process. In this episode you will learn from an "expert at turning dreams into goals into reality, Laval St.Germain knows what it takes to unzip the tent door and step out from high camp on Everest for a cold, gasping, trip to the top or to shove off the dock to row alone across the North Atlantic Ocean. Laval is the only Canadian to have climbed Mount Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen, the only person to have climbed and skied Iraq's highest peak, and the holder of the fastest ever crossing of the North Atlantic Ocean by solo ocean row boat from mainland North America to mainland Europe. Laval has climbed the highest peak on 6 of the earth's 7 con

Christie Bailey is a one part entrepreneur, one part fitness cover model, and one part self-help junkie turned online business strategist. As the 2017 Bodybuilding.com spokesmodel winner and IFBB pro competition, Christie knows a thing or two about the physical, nutritional and mental discipline it takes to dramatically change one's physique. But that wasn't what it was all cracked up to be, at least not for Christie. In this interview, you will hear her journey about how she dove 100% in to this profession, how she quit her corporate job to pursue her true calling and how and why that dream shifted for her. Christie is now helping other fitness entrepreneurs apply purpose to passion and, as her mantra says, help them find their fearless!

It is very rare when our guest can trace their trigger moment all the way back to early childhood. Emily Duncan's came at about age 8 when her dance instructor made a comment about her body type that sent her down a dark spiral of eating disorders, body dysmorphia and spent years trying to find a healthy balance and relationship with food again. Emily found an immense source of help and internal motivation once she started strength training. From there she became a professional bikini competitor, competing in over a dozen shows and even taking first place in her class in 2016 at the NPC Jr. USA National Championships.  This episode can be summarized by this amazing quote from Emily: "Don't rely on the energy of the outside world to fuel you. Find out what makes YOU strong and what makes YOU awesome, and run with it." Emily lives a life ever forward through TENACITY - in fact it is her apparel line - and you will find an abundance of it in this episode and in her story.  Emily is a Bodybuilding.com, PESciecne

My second amazing guest from the proud country of Ireland! Today you can listen me interview Brian Keane and then go listen to his interview of me! Brian has the one of top-downloaded fitness podcasts in Ireland and I had the privilege of being a guest on his show "The Brian Keane Fitness Podcast". So make sure to listen here and then head over to Brian's podcast to have the tables turned and the host becomes the guest. In this episode, Brian and I discuss his many obstacles that he had to overcome before creating this incredible lifestyle he has now as an online fitness coach, professional competitor, author, podcast host and father. Besides the training, besides the dieting... the EGO soon became Brian's biggest hurdle to jump, learning how he was getting in his own way. How his SELF was preventing his true success and happiness. We explore the concepts of ego both in and out of the gym and, most importantly, how to step outside of your ego and gain an objective view of your life, to see what is serving tru

It is all about RITUAL, my friends! Establishing and honoring daily habits that will set us up for success for the rest of the day should be at the top of all of our priorities.

All questions we dive deep into this week with our special guest from one of our favorite supplements companies and proud sponsor. Today's guest, Drew Canole, is the founder and CEO of Organifi and shares with us his incredible transformation story and how the power of juicing helped set him on his path. His incredible story of weight loss and self-discovery is one that I'm sure a lot of us can relate to.

Show up. Shut up. Two very clear and to the point messages that I took away from this episode with Mike Farr, a.k.a. Silent Mike as most of us know him online. After spending years of learning and training with the best at Mark Bell's "Super Training Gym" and co-host of the podcast with the same namesake. He became a student even though he was actively teaching others, something we should all strive to accomplish as we shed our layers of ego even more and more. You can connect with Mike on his YouTube channel, full of great like-minded guests, tips and insight on how to progress in the gym. He is also a co-coach at Kizen Training and regularly posts on his Instagram.

*FULL DISCLOSURE* This episode contains higher than usual usage of adult language but by no means does it make the message any less significant, in my opinion. The gentlemen over at Mind Pump (Mind Pump Radio, Mind Pump Media, etc.) sat down with me to share their combined 40+ years in the fitness industry as trainers, coaches, and students themselves. We dove deep into topics that many of us have come to learn to be slight fabrications and even blatant lies about human physiology, nutrition and the health and fitness profession as a whole. We explore the evolution of an industry and how they found what works best for them, their clients and their audience in general. We LOVE our sponsors! Thanks to Organifi and Freshly for partnering with Ever Forward Radio to provide incredible deals on quality products to our audience, not to mention helping the ongoing production of this podcast. *Organfi.com and use "everforward" for 20% your entire order* *Freshly.com and use "everforward" for $40 off your entire order*

"The best way to avenge yourself is to not be like that." -Marcus Aurelius Message and quote from Ryan Holiday's "The Daily Stoic".

When creating new habits in efforts to build a healthier lifestyle for ourselves and our loved ones, we often shift attention to our diet. We all have to eat, right? But how many of us have tried diet after diet after diet? How do we truly know how we are supposed to be eating, for our body type, or even what the human race has evolved to be better suited for?  This week’s guest, Mark Sisson, has spent decades seeking the ideal way of eating for his own optimum performance and has created a library of invaluable content for the rest of us in the process. During these self-experimentations and studies of human physiology, Mark has shared his discoveries through his world-renowned blog “Mark’s Daily Apple” and his organization “The Primal Blueprint” providing recipes, books, other products and supplements helped to fuel the paleo, gluten-free and ketogenic lifestyle. Mark’s latest work, “The Keto Reset Diet: Reboot Your Metabolism in 21 Days and Burn Fat Forever”, we learn not only about the latest science behi

 Do. Whatever. It. Takes. That is the message you will learn from this episode's guest, Rob Lipsett. Rob is the epitome of optimism and positive vibes! This was one of the most fun and hilarious interviews to date, and an even more special experience catching up with him during my recent travels in Dublin, Ireland. You will undoubtedly laugh your way through this interview, but don't miss the incredible value Rob brings to the table when sharing his story. The quote "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity" could not be more applicable after hearing about his obstacles and tenacity when facing them, helping him get to where he is today. Connect with Rob on his YouTube channel, Twitter or Instagram.  And a HUGE thanks to our EF Radio sponsors!

Have you ever stumbled across something that you immediately became obsessed with, needing to know everything about it and how to implement it into your daily life? Well that was the case with building a healthy mind, body and soul for Sophie Aris. After watching her first ever physique competition she was hooked, competing in multiple shows over the course of the next year or so. But through this process of competing, Sophie also began to grow her passion for content creation and applying similar principles from the gym to her every day life and social media presence. Being semi-forced out of her 9-5 job as a public school teacher, Sophie went full-force into her entrepreneur mode; blogging, growing her Instagram, becoming a sponsored athlete by huge brands such as Nocco, Gymshark and Ghost, and creating as much content as possible to further enrich the lives of those people who follow her journey online. Sophie's blog hosts amazing recipes and wellness insights, and her Instagram page is updated daily showi

If you seek out a digital form of programming or accountability in today's market you will most likely be overwhelmed with the amount of "online coaches". The term has all but been bastardized by social media and people selling get-lean-quick and cookie-cutter programs. Yes, these work for a small amount of people. But for this week's guest Kyle Hunt (and myself) that is simply not enough. Kyle has been involved with digital accountability and online coaching log before it was trending on Instagram. He connects with his clients on a personal level to make sure they receive the utmost value and bang for their buck. In this interview, coach-to-coach, Kyle and I talk about the do's and dont's of this growing profession, what makes a good online coach as well as client, what to look for when trying to branch out this platform for both the trainer and person seeking to make changes to their life. Kyle as a certified fitness trainer and nutrition specialist with his B.S. in Exercise Science. He hosts and produces t

Hate. It's just another four-letter word. It has a surface-level negative connotation if you let it. Matt Vincent, 2012 and 2014 Highland Games world champion and co-founder of HVIII Brand Goods, unpacks for us how he uses hate to his advantage. With a strong (no pun intended) foundation in field games, Matt has spent the better part of a decade donning a performance-apparel kilt and hurling hundreds of pounds against some of the world's largest and strongest men. But this skill has carried over into much more, Matt and his brother founded HVIII (pronounced "hate") Brand Goods to help others see further into themselves, to do more, be more, demand more from themselves.  Matt says it best here:  "HVIII... is a strong term that many will find negative. Good. So do I. I refuse to not get better. It is not an option. I will make the sacrifices necessary to be the best. This attack on the self is necessary because if I don’t train everyday with the intention of destroying the old me, then I’m missing something. Th
