Join us in this podcast episode as Rob and Dr. Junger discuss:   His 5 R&#39;s to living a healthier life: Remove, Reinoculation, Restore, Repair, and Relaxation. How to clean out your kitchen and start eating fresh for your health. Steps to start removing toxins from your gut, environment, and even thoughts. What it means if your body isn&#39;t properly sweating. What foods and supplements you should consume during an elimination diet. How to stay anchored in the present moment no matter what you&#39;re doing.

The culmination of over 30 years of research, education, and practice, Dr. Alejandro Junger&#39;s revolutionary, seven-day program is based around the core principles of functional medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, and intermittent fasting. Each one of these practices alone can have positive and lasting effects, but when used together, they propel the body to health, weight-loss, symptom-reversal, and restoration. The air we breathe, the water we drink and bathe in, the skin products we use, the detergents we clean with, the medications we take, but mostly the foods we eat, are loaded with toxic chemicals that cause all kinds of dysfunctions. We know this, but we feel powerless to control the effects - constipation, body aches and pains, allergies, migraines, stubborn weight, sleeplessness, depression, and anxiety, to name a few. In time and left unabated, these symptoms develop into full blown diseases, many of them life-altering, but even in the best-case scenario, they leave us uncomfortable and unwell. CLEAN 7 is the medically-proven seven-day answer to this toxic overload. The one-week program you&#39;ll discover in this audiobook offers day-by-day, hour-by-hour guidance with easy-to-follow meal plans and delicious recipes that guarantee success.     Dr. Alejandro Junger  Founder of the Clean Program, Dr. Alejandro Junger was born in Uruguay. He graduated from medical school there in 1990 and moved to New York City for his postgraduate training.

Make Yourself Present with Good Intentions On this week&#39;s BONUS episode, we return to the conversation Rob and Devon had in episode 125 about how good intentions have a more powerful impact our lives compared to just goals. As you tune in, learn and take notes on how you can set new intentions for yourself with an easy, 4-step process. Throughout the podcast, Rob and Devon share personal stories about how they&#39;ve learned how to set good intentions for themselves.   Intentions vs. Goals    &quot;Goals are the external results and intentions are your external connections to yourself.&quot; - Rob Dionne    A lot of us enjoy the process of goals, but when we meet the end date, the final result can be frustrating. To really succeed in your goals and to feel accomplished, you have to have an intention behind it.   What is an intention? Intention is a way of being in the present. It&#39;s all about focusing on HOW you&#39;re going to complete your goal or HOW your going to create a mindset around doing something. Intentions give you a WHY and a purpose for completing goals. Maybe your goal is to lose 10 pounds, but your intention is why you want to do that. Is it to be more healthy? To have more energy? Allow yourself to be present with the process with each intention! Intentions are your external connections to yourself. A lot of people feel a sense of loss after they complete a goal, but intentions can help move you forward towards what you want to work on next so that you&#39;re constantly setting new S.M.A.R.T. Goals for yourself.     What is a goal? Goals are something that you&#39;re trying to do to achieve a result in the future. They are the external results. A goal can move you forward, but the happiness relies on whether or not you accomplish that goal. We can be so hard on ourselves for not completing a goal such as losing a certain amount of weight. However, what&#39;s more important is to notice other changes in yourself thanks to all of your hard work-your energy, digestion, new abilities etc.   Different Types of Intention    &quot;You either win or you learn. There is no lose.&quot; - Rob Dionne    There are three different types of intention: immediate, short-term, and long-term. From here on out, any goal you make has to be aligned with your new intention.   Immediate Intentions Immediate intentions can take place the very moment when you wake up in the morning and set an intention for just that day. For example, you might wake up and tell yourself, &quot;I&#39;m going to try to be really present today. I want to focus on being more grateful today.&quot;   Short-term Intentions Short-term intentions last from a couple of months to a year. During this time, you take a step back to really look at yourself and make a commitment to improve something in your life. Have an intention for the year for yourself. Take a look at what you NEED and what you WANT. Short-term intentions can be applied to anything: health, careers,

Why the current pharmaceutical drugs on the market are useless as they only slow the decline of Alzheimer&#39;s. The fact that heart attacks, strokes, and heart disease have so much more to do with other areas of our health than cholesterol. Why the metabolic effects of the Ketogenic Diet don&#39;t just come from the high fats but more importantly the lack of carbs. Why it&#39;s never too late to start focusing on your nutrition and trying the Ketogenic disease to combat disease or maintaining your good health.    The Alzheimer&#39;s Antidote Click here to get your copy of The Alzheimer&#39;s Antidote  A Comprehensive Metabolic &amp; Lifestyle Approach A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease in 2016 is startlingly similar to a half-century ago. Despite decades of research and millions of dollars invested in uncovering the causes and developing treatments for this devastating illness, progress has been slow, with each new “blockbuster” drug proving to be as big a disappointment as the ones that went before it. Today, an Alzheimer’s diagnosis is a death sentence. However, there may be ways to prevent, delay, and possibly even reverse the course of this crippling neurodegenerative disease. In The Alzheimer’s Antidote, Certified Nutrition Specialist Amy Berger presents a multi-pronged nutrition and lifestyle intervention to combat Alzheimer’s disease at its roots. Berger’s research shows that Alzheimer’s results from a fuel shortage in the brain: As neurons become unable to harness energy from glucose, they atrophy and die, leading to classic symptoms like memory loss and behavioral changes. This is a revolutionary approach―one that has been discussed in the scientific literature for years but has only recently been given credence in clinical settings, thanks to extremely promising studies wherein Alzheimer’s patients have experienced complete reversals of the condition. Medical and scientific journals are fu

Do the 7 Day Paleo Reset   DVRT The Ultimate Sandbag Training System  Why the Ultimate Sandbag-Properly Used-Has a HUGE Athletic ROI In the full-contact arena, athletes contend with an ever-shifting set of challenges: sudden changes in velocity, power, force, weight, and energy demand. The athlete needs to withstand powerful blows directed at any part of the body, to accelerate and decelerate at a moment&#39;s notice, to strike back with blinding power and to remain stable in a highly unstable environment. The athlete needs to be this dynamic-while simultaneously minimizing the risk of personal injury. He needs a cat&#39;s agile movement skills, a bull&#39;s rock-like strength, and a stallion&#39;s enduring power.   About Josh Henkin  Josh Henkin is a CSCS and Master RKC with twenty years of experience. His innovative Dynamic Variable Resistance Training (DVRT™) has allowed him to present in more than 13 countries and publish in top outlets like Men’s Health and the Wall Street Journal.
