In Episode 186, the Two Fit Crazies welcome THE Peter Twist, who is joining the show from his home in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. If you have yet to hear of the amazing Peter Twist, you are in for a HUGE treat! Peter, or Coach Twist, shares his story of growing up in Canada, falling in love with team sports at an early age, and becoming the very first strength and conditioning coach for the NHL. From hockey, to baseball, to tennis, to football, to mountain biking, to skiing, to ocean kayaking, to trail running, Peter was always fascinated with movement. However, after attaining a master’s degree in coaching science, he soon realized that he didn’t want to be a head coach of a sports team, but that he wanted to be a strength and conditioning coach to mold athletes through developing their speed, agility, strength, balance, flexibility and more. Peter was a visionary when it came to understanding the importance of plyometrics and functional exercise to improve the “whole” athlete. Peter discusses the process of turning his dreams into a reality through his determination and mindset practices that not only landed him the job as the first NHL strength and conditioning coach, but also a “cancer crusher.” It is no wonder that Peter Twist is a highly coveted world-renowned speaker whose resilience and passion for changing lives is unparalleled. Be on the lookout for Peter Twist’s upcoming books and continuing education courses! He may just convince you to “get out of your own mind and into your heart….and that the best form of wealth is being enriched.”

Mindy recalls what it was like after her husband, Bruce, was diagnosed with prostate cancer and how they were able to transform their lives and improve their health by eating a plant-based diet. While Mindy and Bruce provide a wealth of knowledge about the plant-based lifestyle in their One Day to Wellness Certifications and workshops, Mindy felt men (and women) would benefit from what “popped up” from her research to diminish erectile dysfunction and other health-related issues. Be on the lookout for Mindy’s “penis tips” at the end of every chapter and learn how eating Nitrate Oxide enriched foods are shown to increase blood flow to “certain” areas in the body.

“This became my purpose; I wanted to help people!” - David Caldarella

In Episode 149, the Two Fit Crazies were honored to sit down with David Caldarella, CEO & Co-Founder of David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation. David shares his amazing story starting when he was first diagnosed with stage four head and neck cancer over ten years ago to what he went through both physically and mentally while undergoing intense rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, and various surgeries. Thinking that “this was it,” David created the Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit that raises funds to provide financial assistance, wellness services and HOPE to New Jersey families affected by a cancer diagnosis. For David, this would be his legacy after he was no longer with us. Today, David is ten years removed from his diagnosis and remains cancer-free! Listen closely as David discusses the importance of serving as a “beacon of hope” for patients and families as the foundation has now helped over 1,700 families and raised over 1.1 million dollars. Next on the agenda, David is planning community fundraising events, increasing business partnerships, and sponsoring athletes to raise funds on behalf of “TEAM DREAM!” In fact, look out for Two Fit Crazies at the Boston Marathon this April September running on behalf of David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation! Let’s all be on a mission of hope and giving!
