Episode 10: Could Mold and Radon Gas be Making You Chronically Ill? with Tim Swackhammer

Welcome to “Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine”

This is the podcast that explores how a person’s lifestyle can be the key to their health and happiness.

Mold is a natural part of the environment and plays an integral role in nature by breaking down dead organic matter, such as fallen leaves and dead trees. Mold reproduces through tiny spores, which are like seeds but invisible to the naked eye, that float through the air and deposit on surfaces. When the temperature, moisture, and available nutrient conditions are correct, the spores can form new mold colonies where they are deposited. If this occurs naturally in nature, imagine how much mold can accumulate in a closed environment due to flooding, leaky roofs, building maintenance, or indoor plumbing. Extended periods of indoor mold exposure can lead to serious health issues such as chronic fatigue, breathing problems, chronic inflammatory response syndrome, and brain fog.

In today’s episode, my guest Tim Swackhammer, Founder and CEO of Mold Medics in Pittsburgh, PA, and Mold Medics Franchising, explains the signs of mold production due to different factors (vapor barriers) not only related to water and moisture accumulation. He guides us through a testing, inspection, and remediation process that any house or building owner should be aware of when trying to eliminate toxic mold for good.

Tim also gives us a real example of the adverse effects on a client and how this person had a tremendous improvement in her body and even her relationship by getting rid of toxic mold in her house. Finally, he explains radon gas and the health risks to people (lung cancer) when it infiltrates your home through cracks in the foundations, joints, and drains.

Join us to learn how air quality starts at home.

Episode 9: Use the environment as medicine with Scott Carney

Welcome to “Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine”

This is the podcast that explores how a person’s lifestyle can be the key to their health and happiness.

Thousands of years of exposure to the natural environment have molded the way our bodies adapt and respond to stress.

With the advances in modern technology, we rarely need to challenge ourselves physically. This means most of us have no idea of what we are truly capable of.

The feats of endurance our ancestors took for granted now seem impossible in an age where comfort is literally handed to us on a plate. But the consequence of the easy life is an increase in sickness, weakness, and fragility.

So, what can we do to be like our ancestors and build more resilience? Resilience is the answer to functioning and recovering when faced with illness, accidents, or other physical demands.

Resilience gives people the psychological strength to cope with stress and hardship. It is the mental reservoir of power that people can call on in times of need to carry them through without falling apart. Psychologists believe resilient individuals can better handle adversity and rebuild their lives after a struggle.

In today’s episode, New York Times bestselling author and anthropologist Scott Carney shares how giving yourself just the right amount of ‘uncomfortable’ can help you discover just how powerful you really are and deliver enormous benefits to your self-confidence, strength, health, and stress resilience. His books, ‘What Doesn’t Kill Us’ and ‘The Wedge’, make a case for how environmental training and exposure are as fundamental to human health as diet and exercise. Through his research, he discovered that he could become one with the environment by adding sensation variability to his own life and ultimately accomplish amazing things. He was the first journalist to write about Wim Hof, and by trying to debunk him, he ended up climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in record time wearing little clothing.

We also talk about stimulus and response, how to put ourselves into a highly effective flow state, fight, and flight chemistry, and how to rewire your mind and body for maximum results. Through personal experimentation, Scott explored ways of changing his external environment to control his body’s physiology (internal environment). Through cold exposure, heat exposure, oxygen deprivation, kettlebell training, and Ayahuasca (to name but a few), he showed how he could take conscious control of seemingly unconscious bodily processes.

Join us to learn to change your physiology without needing pills or surgery.

Episode 8: Move Naturally with Erwan Le Corre

Welcome to “Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine”

This is the podcast that explores how a person’s lifestyle can be the key to their health and happiness.

Movement is one of the pillars of increasing one’s healthspan, which ultimately will secure happiness and longevity in a lifespan. There are several ways to become healthier through movement, like going to the gym, lifting weights, playing a sport,  doing yoga, etc. Yet, not everybody knows the functionality exercise brings to our bodies; sure, we can lose weight and build muscle, but the real meaning of movement is to secure survival; after all, humans beings are animals, and through thousands of years of evolution our bodies have been equipped to respond to danger and adapt to nature.

The body needs to move the way it is designed; otherwise, it breaks down. The loss of a healthy upright posture is the most visible effect of aging. Until you reconnect with your body’s natural movement abilities – everything from getting out of bed to moving furniture to play with your children feels different. You will be astonished at how your body responds to practicing its natural movements.

But what is a “natural movement”?
In today’s show, my guest Erwan Le Corre explains how walking, running, balancing, crawling, jumping, climbing, and swimming are the most efficient ways the body can become fit again, more capable in the real world, and most importantly, become confident in your own body.

Erwan Le Corre is the founder of MovNat, a physical education system and lifestyle principles that explores the body’s full range of motion and agility. It is a complete and immersive experience with the natural world that allows gaining the skills, strength, and conditioning essential to adapt and perform in any environment. Erwan has more than 30 years of knowledge in disciplines such as karate, parkour-like training, barefoot running, sailing, Olympic weightlifting, rock climbing, long-distance triathlon, trail running, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Since 2004 he has been studying the benefits of all the natural movements humans are capable of, and in 2008  started teaching MovNat in the United States and now around the world.

Join us to learn why “you don’t have to be fit to move, but you have to move to be fit.”
