Real, Unscripted, Live Coaching Session (with NBHWC Board-Certified Coach)

March 04, 2024 08:00 - 54 minutes - 37.5 MB

How does a real coaching session work? What goes into it? What results stem from it? We may hear about health & wellness coaching available through our employer or EAP, see people across various social media platforms claiming to be life coaches or wellness coaches and of course see athletic coaches taking front and center on a regular basis. But what’s the difference between someone who might call themselves a coach and an experienced, nationally board-certified health & wellness coach? And...

ADHD, RSD and Human Performance (Tim Kettenring)

February 26, 2024 08:00 - 54 minutes - 37.4 MB

None of us like rejection, but what happens when the rejection or perceived failure triggers severe emotional pain? According to the Cleveland Clinic, the condition of Rejection Sensitive Dsyphoria, often linked with ADHD, can be due to differences in brain structure, making it difficult for your brain to regulate rejection related emotions and behaviors, escalating their resultant impact. Today’s guest, Tim Kettenring, brings a unique perspective to this discussion. He has shared very publ...

In the Meantime (Bite-sized Boost #3)

February 19, 2024 08:00 - 3 minutes - 2.22 MB

“In the meantime,” is an oft-used phrase describing the moments, weeks, or months between now and an important occurrence in the future (e.g., “We’re moving this fall, but in the meantime we need to get things organized”). The phrase dates to the 14th century referencing an intervening time, building on the assumption that nothing particularly important will occur during “the meantime” (mean as in average or in-between time). But what if “in the meantime” is where the biggest opportunities p...

Next Generation of Food & Nutrition Science (Janine Higgins, PhD)

February 12, 2024 08:00 - 48 minutes - 33.4 MB

When it comes to food and nutrition, our default is to think of it as a math problem. But what happens when the calculator doesn’t work? What happens when we plug in 2+2 and get 7? Or 3? Or any number of other variable outcomes? When the data collected is off by 20, 30 or even 50%, how can anyone utilize that data to improve their lives? That’s exactly what is happening in the world of food and nutrition. We have piles of studies and endless apps filled with personal nutrition data that is…...

Aging, Sarcopenia, Protein, Exercise and More: Guilia Colletta, PhD(c)

January 29, 2024 08:00 - 49 minutes - 34.1 MB

We lose approximately 1% of our muscle mass after the age of 40. Ahhh – 1% - what’s the big deal, right? Well – for the muscular athlete, the 3% lost from age 40-43 may be barely noticeable, but what about the 25% lost by age 65 in the unconditioned office worker who doesn’t have much extra muscle to begin with? It can dramatically reduce function and decrease both quality and years of life. But the application of the research isn’t limited to aging. It also can bring benefits to surgical o...

January 15, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 52.6 MB

There is a great deal of attention being devoted to extending the lifespan, but what about the “health span” – the period of our lives during which we are not simply continuing to have a pulse, but rather the period during which we are healthy and productive. THAT’s the period we’re most interested in extending – and today we have one of the foremost experts on the subject, the head of the Healthspan Lab at Colorado State University – Dr. Tom LaRocca.

January 08, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.53 MB

This is the perfect time to pause, reflect on another year gone by, and consider the gap between the vision we have of our lives and the reality in which we presently find ourselves living.

Money: Gordo Byrn

December 18, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 46 MB

Money. It pervades every aspect of our lives. It influences relationships, directs our career choices, impacts our use of time, where we live and why we get up in the morning. It causes worry, creates artificial feelings of security – and insecurity, drives wedges between families and business partners and so much more. And today, the one and only Gordo Byrn joins us to dig into to everyday practical elements of this subject. Welcome to the Catalyst 360 podcast. Today’s guest seems to have ...

December 04, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 46.2 MB

Special 300th episode features one of the original developers of Motivational Interviewing: Dr. Stephen Rollnick!!! It’s hard to believe this is our 300th episode of a podcast we started in an attempt to bring a more evidence-based approach back to the world of health & wellness, a world that too often chases $$$ by leaning in on fads and headlines.

Living the Complete Life (Bob Hottman)

November 20, 2023 08:00 - 56 minutes - 39 MB

It seems there’s a constant pull between the DOing side of life – pursuing accomplishments, achieving goals, getting things done… and the BEing side – appreciating the moments, recognizing the beauty in the present, soaking in special opportunities. Most of us tend to lean, usually somewhat strongly, one way or the other. Is it possible to accomplish big things and achieve high level goals… while simultaneously being fully present? And how does the balancing act between the two change throug...

Unlocking Dreams with Sleep Maestro Dr. Chris Winter (Gem)

November 06, 2023 08:00 - 59 minutes - 41.1 MB

Do you believe in magic? I do – the magic of a good sleep. If you were to stop me on the street and I asked for your best 1st step forward to improve your health, wellness & performance without sharing any other details, I’d encourage you to start with sleep, as its impact on EVERY aspect of life is undeniable. Much of my own PhD work looked at the influence of sleep on performance, but I continue to be stunned by the difference a solid night of sleep provides. However, as we’ll learn today,...

Fireside Chat: Shifting Focus... Autopilot Power... Retreating Forward!

October 30, 2023 07:00 - 21 minutes - 14.7 MB

When we moved to Fort Collins, Colorado in 2021, a new tradition was created – fireside chats. Sometimes it involves a small group of students from the university nearby. Other times it might be friends, family or others pondering career or life changes. Suzanna & I enjoy the spot to discuss the latest book we’ve read and it’s a fun spot to get a little philosophical with anyone who might be staying the night with us.  Obviously I can’t bring you the warmth of the crackling fire, views of t...

Think Again: Most Important Book of the Year (by Adam Grant)

September 18, 2023 07:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MB

Data from Gallup tells us almost 60% of us read 5 or less books/year and the overall average is about 1 book/month, with half of those being fiction. To me, books are an opportunity to tap into the wisdom of some of the world’s brightest and most insightful people for little more than a cup of coffee. That’s a pretty good deal, but I also get it that time is an extremely limited resource and if we can provide you with the core elements of a life-shifting book via this podcast, there’s a real...

Good Habits, Bad Habits: Wendy Wood, PhD

September 11, 2023 07:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MB

What if you were to learn the key to eliminating bad habits or implementing good habits wasn’t willpower or determination?

Welcome to the Catalyst 360 podcast. That’s precisely the focus of today’s discussion w/ Dr. Wendy Wood. Dr. Wood is a professor of psychology and business at the University of Southern Californi...

August 28, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 41.7 MB

Reclaiming Our Playful Self: Beth Kurland, PhD

July 31, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 43.1 MB

How’d we all get so doggone serious? If you’re a regular listener of the Catalyst 360 podcast, you’re likely a high performer, making the most of each day and each opportunity. Yet sometimes in the midst of doing so, we lose our playful self. We’re good at work – at getting things done. Play? That’s for later – unfortunately that “later” can continue to be pushed back indefinitely and our lives turn into a treadmill of checklists and a closet full of trophies. That tendency doesn’t have to c...

Sarah Everts: The Joy of Sweat?

July 03, 2023 07:00 - 53 minutes - 36.8 MB

Sweat – one of our seemingly oddest biological functions while simultaneously being one of the most vital and least understood – until now. Why is sweat salty? Why does stress produce sweat to the point the phrase “don’t sweat it” has become commonplace? Why do some of us produce colorful or odd smelling sweat? And – as our wearable trackers continue to advance – should we be concerned about the ability of organizations to track the molecules contained in our sweat that reveal secrets about ...
