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.

HOTWORX is a virtually instructed program that combines heat, infrared and exercise to create a one of a kind fitness experience.

It is no surprise that HOTWORX is quickly emerging as one of the fastest growing franchises in the United States and beyond!

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!

Welcome to the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, a show that Brian now feels he can cut the recording on Christine if he does not like her introductory remarks. Aside from a small on-air tiff between the two crazies, today’s episode is “off the hook!” Joining the show from Long Island, Gail Bannister-Munn, Long Island fitness legend, educator, creator of the Bannister Method and the Long Island Fitness Network Group, and flexibility specialist for professional athletes, talks about how she was able to build a strong network and reputation in the fitness industry. Gail also discusses what it was like to be raised by an Indian mother and English father who believed that paying it forward was a way of life. And if you were wondering, Gail was an exceptionally talented runner in her day who just happens to hail from a some very decorated Bannisters, including distant uncle Sir Roger, the first man to run a mile in under 4 minutes and one super-fast nephew, Olympic Gold medalist Matthew Centrowitz Jr.

 

From training the JETS to being flown around-the-country to work with top NBA players, Gail has made quite a name for herself as a flexibility specialist. I guarantee you will have a few laughs listening to Gail share some of her crazy stories of working with pro-athletes and beyond!
