Behind the Scenes in Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC Executive Director Leigh-Ann Webster)
April 22, 2024 07:00 - 55 minutes - 38.1 MBIt wasn’t all that long ago – 2016 – when you and I could sit down over a cup of coffee, decided becoming a health & wellness coach sounded like a cool idea, and then walk out of the coffee shop calling ourselves exactly that. Or, organizations posing as “wellness coaching companies” could hire nice people, give them a script about eating kale and exercising 3x/week and market it as such. Those days have changed, as the National Board of Health & Wellness Coaching, or NBHWC now oversees a ...

April 08, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 52.6 MBToday’s guest is Dr. Brent Ruby, Director of the Montana Center for Work Physiology and Exercise Metabolism.

#316: Intriguing History of the Modern Mind (Dr. George Makari)
March 25, 2024 07:00 - 54 minutes - 37.2 MBHow did we get “here” when it comes to our perspective on the mind, body and the evidence-based practices that – at least I hope – guide our daily choices and the guidance provided by physicians, coaches and others? How did healthcare and medicine grow from speculative and metaphysical practices to that of reason and empirical observation? Today’s guest, esteemed psychiatrist, and best-selling author of Soul Machine (among many others), Dr. George Makari will open our eyes to the intriguing ...

March 18, 2024 07:00 - 20 minutes - 13.9 MBIce baths, 4 AM wake-up calls, fasts and more are garnering big-time attention on social media and elsewhere as paths to mental toughness, personal success and more. Beyond the 15 minutes of fame garnered by the post, is there any legitimate science behind these and other less dramatic ways to step into and through discomfort? And why, in the midst of the growing popularity of these strategies, do most of us often find it difficult – not to step into an ice bath - but to simply get off the c...

#314: Perfectionism (Thomas Curran, PhD)
March 11, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 43 MBPerfectionism.

#313: Real, Unscripted Coaching Session (NBHWC Board-Certified Coach)
March 04, 2024 08:00 - 54 minutes - 37.5 MBHow 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.

Next Generation of Food & Nutrition Science (Janine Higgins, PhD)
February 12, 2024 08:00 - 48 minutes - 33.4 MBWhen 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…...

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...
