“I turned 40…I was so tired of being unfulfilled…Whatever the “new thing” was, I tried it…Any diet is a repackaged restriction…” 

“It’s never too late to be happy. 

What is a “doughnut diary?” In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Rachel Lavin explains exactly what led her to write, The Doughnut Diaries: A Personal Trainer’s Tale of Being Every Size from 12 Through 0! After over twenty years as a fitness professional, Rachel is finally breaking her silence about how her love-hate relationship with doughnuts led to a life-changing epiphany. While Rachel does NOT promote the overindulgence of the sweet treat, she does promote the power of loving yourself in order to stop the “madness of dieting, restricting foods, or using exercise to make yourself smaller.” Get ready for a glimpse into what your life could look like once you stop hating your body and realizing that you are not alone.

The Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast welcomes a true fitness professional and fitness legend by the name of Carol Scott. On today’s episode, Carol joins the Fit Crazies from her home in the Hamptons to shed some light on how she was able to climb the ranks in the fitness industry and found ECA, the East Coast Alliance, later known as ECA World Fitness Alliance. Carol also talks about how she created the East Coach Instructor Training School based on the growing need to train, certify, and place fitness professionals in positions where they could best serve others. In addition, Carol discusses the impact that athletics and strong mentors like former Olympian, WNBA star and now professional coach, Nancy Lieberman, had on developing her resilient mindset at an early age. Carol, who is not shy about being inspired by STAR TREK’s Captain Kirk and his ability to “boldly go where no one has gone before” has no plans on slowing down. Seeing fitness as “a conduit to spiritual awakenings, unity, diversity, acceptance, tolerance, citizenship,” Carol’s predictions for the future of the fitness industry and her plans to build the Fitness Instructor Guild are unparalleled.

Episode 175 - The Two Fit Crazies Reunite for a Rant

“Everyone is angry. Everyone has taken a side. Mask. No mask. Blue Lines. Equality. It’s a mess.” -Brian

“Cats and dogs, living together, it’s mass hysteria.” - Christine & Bill Murray

Every so often, the Two Fit Crazies reunite for an extra crazy show to bring all of you up to

speed on their latest acts of craziness. This episode will not disappoint as Brian attempts to

“talk Christine off the ledge” after her most recent “failure forward” and Brian goes on a rant

about the state of humanity.

First, congratulations to Logan, our second annual Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone

Podcast Scholarship winner. She is a Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior who is headed to college

to continue to inspire the world. Stay tuned for her debut on the show next month!

In addition, as the pandemic draws on, Brian and Christine get fired up over various topics such

as: mask-wearing (like why is this an option?), equality (like why doesn’t everyone want

this?), humanity (like why are people so angry?), the ocean (like why does it have to be a war

zone?) and much much more! Also, find out why Brian is talking like Andrew Dice Clay, why

Christine’s hair smells like bug repellent and where you can get a “facial down there!” Yes.

This is a thing!

Thom King - CEO and Chief Food Scientist, ICON Foods/Author, Guy Gone Keto - Episode 172

Episode 172 - Thom King - CEO and Chief Food Scientist, ICON Foods/Author, Guy Gone Keto

“I look at what I do as more of a cause than as a business.”

“The process took years...I look back at the successes versus the challenges...the challenges

are when I learned the most...I am super grateful for those.”

- Thom King

In Episode 172, the Two Fit Crazies have an amazing conversation with Thom King, “part CEO,

part personal development wonk and part biohacker info geek.” Joining the show from

Portland, Oregon, Thom discusses his journey to become a “serial entrepreneur,” founding

multiple companies and authoring a book. Currently the CEO and Chief Food Scientist at

ICON Foods, Thom reveals how a fortuitous run in with an “OG” of Stevia led to his

fascination and eventual success dissecting and re-creating great tasting foods using

clean-label sweetening systems to replace sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup. In addition

to working with major food and beverage companies around the world, Thom’s personal

Ketogenic lifestyle inspired him to share his knowledge and experiences with the world

through his book, Guy Gone Keto. Although the word “Guy” appears in the title, Thom

reassures listeners that the message is universal: “you must eat to live, not live to eat.”

Through his passion for creating foods that offer less sugar and carbs per serving, Thom talks

about his current line of condiments and his current project of creating healthier and

Keto-friendly cocktails such as: Margaritas, Pina Coladas, Manhattan’s, and Christine’s

personal favorite, the Cosmopolitan. Do not be surprised when she asks if taste testers are

needed! You are going to love this episode packed with tons of laughs and surprising

information about what is in your food!

“...communicate consistently and regularly with concise compelling content.”

“The fitness industry tends to be youth obsessed...promoting the idea that ‘fit is sexy’ ...all of this is to the industry’s detriment.” - Jay Croft

Episode 170 - Dr. Glenn Livingston Clinical Psychologist and Author of ​Never Binge Again

“The voice of justification is my inner pig...I don’t eat pig slop and I don’t let animals tell me what to do.”

“Use the present moment to be healthy.” - Dr Glenn Livingston

In Episode 170, the Two Fit Crazies have an amazing conversation with Dr. Glenn Livingston, clinical psychologist, and author of ​Never Binge Again. ​ Glenn openly discusses how his struggles with over exercising, or exercise bulimia, and binge eating led to his formerly obese state. As a psychologist, he was determined to understand why he felt he was not “whole” and wasn’t happy, so Glenn started studying the neurology of cravings and impulse control. Listen closely as Glenn reveals how we all have a “voice of justification” that he calls his “inner pig.” As one learns how to communicate with this “inner pig,” they will then experience newfound balance, freedoms, control, and safety. Dr. Glenn delves deeper into this concept in his book, Never Binge Again​, which you can attain FOR FREE on his website, www.neverbingeagain.com​. Quiet that inner pig!

-Mindy Mylrea

In this episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Brian and Christine welcome back the awesomely smart, fit and SUPER fun friend of the show by the name of Mindy Mylrea. Mindy has returned to talk about her new book called ​The Plant Powered Penis! ​ You heard it right folks! Today’s show is ALL ABOUT THE PENIS! Do not worry, it’s okay to laugh! Delivered with humor and uplifting messages of hope, Mindy talks about why she chose to write this book and how she feels compelled to educate the world about the healing power of food. 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.

Before the end of the show, Bruce Mylrea gets in on the action and gives us a preview of his own book, ​ A Plant Powered Approach to Prostate Cancer. ​

This episode is sure to “Keep You Up!”
