“Stairs were my salvation.”

“When the worst in my life hit me, I turned to stairclimbing…it saved me.” - Sally Kalksma 

Is it possible to power through life when you are faced with unimaginable adversity? For Jersey shore native, Sally Kalksma, the answer is yes! In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, you will be blown away by this mother of three who was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma shortly before her husband passed away from cancer. For Sally, she wasn’t about to throw in the towel, she was going to fight! Listen closely as Sally reveals how stairclimbing saved her and why she refers to stairs as her salvation. From the stairs of the Empire State Building to the stairs of the Eiffel Tower, Sally has conquered them all and she is just getting started. In 2021, Sally not only launched her first best-selling book, Life Gets in The Way: Powering Through Adversity with Grit & Grace, but also challenged Todd Durkin to a one-arm push-up competition while a guest on his podcast. Just for the record, we have our money on Sally. With her five-year remission anniversary on the horizon, Sally is a true inspiration! Enjoy!

Stay Fit! Stay Crazie!

“You learn what you need to know when you need to know it.”

“HOTWORX is a recovery workout…actively recovering as you workout.”

-Stephen Smith

 

In this episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Brian and Christine welcome the CEO and creator of HOTWORX, Stephen P. Smith! Joining the show from southern Louisiana, Stephen takes us on a deep dive into the fascinating world of 3 dimensional training. What is that you may ask? HOTWORX is a virtually instructed program that combines heat, infrared and exercise to create a one of a kind fitness experience. Listen up as Stephen describes the benefits of exercising as “infrared heat penetrates your body causing you to sweat…isometric postures further accelerate detoxification by physically removing the toxins from your organs through muscle contraction.” Currently, HOTWORX has over 230 HOTWORX locations and 850 more are in development. It is no surprise that HOTWORX is quickly emerging as one of the fastest growing franchises in the United States and beyond! If you have yet to experience the benefits of infrared training, what are you waiting for? Stephen explains how in as little as 15-30 minutes you can “yoga, hot cycle, hot warrior, HIIT or row” your way fit!

Carlee Hayes, RDN - Lead Dietician for NutriSense - Episode 237

Episode 237 - Carlee Hayes, RDN - Lead Dietician for NutriSense

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) who specializes in bariatric nutrition therapy and weight loss. She graduated from Western Illinois University and has worked as a nutritionist at MultiCare Health Systems and Veterans Affairs.

 

“I’m focused on data over dogma!”

“…80% of chronic conditions can be prevented or delayed…”

-Carlee Hayes

                          

In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, Brian and Christine have an awesome conversation with Carlee Hayes. Joining the show from Washington state, Carlee discusses how her frustration with the reactive world of nutrition and medicine lead her to join forces with a start-up tech company called NutriSense. Carlee, who currently serves as the company’s lead registered dietitian nutritionist, delves into the fascinating new world of wearables that she believes are key to improving metabolic health. “Continuous glucose monitoring, or CGM, is a 14-day patch that attaches to the back of your arm. It relays 24/7 data about your glucose levels to an APP on your phone.”  Carlee also discusses how this new technology developed by NutriSense may be the key to prevent or even delay the onset of various chronic conditions that are linked to the body’s inability to regulate glucose levels. And if that’s not enough, listen up athletes and runners!  You are going to fall in love with this new wearable that can help to track glucose levels to determine your individualized plan for optimal hydration and nutrition for all your future adventures! Let’s use data over dogma and take control over our health!

Stay Healthy! Stay Crazie!
