00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,680

Speaker 1: very late at night.

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: Nice to have you on the podcast.

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 3: Well, it's an honor, Felistening. Thank you so much much

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: for having me. Now.

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: You recently had a starring role on the front of

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: our print.

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: Edition at Body and Soul and shared your four pillars

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: of fitness now very interestingly and I know You've been

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: asked this before, but I need to know sleep, stress,

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 1: nutrition and physicality as an expert.

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: Why the fitness bit. Last.

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 3: Sure, it's quite interesting when I mentioned that to a

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 3: lot of people. If you really want to think about it,

27
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 3: fitness is the last part of wellness. We really have

28
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: to focus on a couple things. First we focus on sleep.

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: Sleep sets a tone for the entire day. Just think

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: about it. If you don't get a lot of sleep,

31
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 3: you're not going to say, hey, I wanted to rugule

32
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: a salad with tomatoes and good dressing. You're going to say,

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: I want at cheeseburger with soda. So sleep is the

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: most imperative thing. It sets the whole tone for the body.

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: Then we talk about stress because you're dealing with that.

36
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: If you don't get enough sleep, you're going to have

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: a lot of stress on your plate. So sleep stress.

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: And then the next is nutrition. If sleep and stress

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: are not in order, it's very hard for a person

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: to say, hey, I want to make great choices when

41
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: it comes to nutrition. And the last and people are

42
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: like the last, but you're a fitness guy, Yeah, the

43
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 3: last is fitness because what a lot of times happens

44
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: is we jump into fitness. It's January fifteenth. The majority

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: it's actually statistically a show ninety five percent of people

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: who start New Year's resolutions with fitness quit by the

47
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 3: fifteenth of January because they don't focus on the other

48
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: three things. First, you need to focus on sleep, You

49
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 3: need to focus on stress, nutrition, and then fitness.

50
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: Now it's it's ironic.

51
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: I'm interviewing you, and it's what is it nine point

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: thirty or ten o'clock in New York? How do you

53
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: go when you've had a well, a bit of a

54
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 1: rough night sleep, I mean the next day with your

55
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: fitness habits, your four pillars.

56
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: That's a great question. There are a lot of times

57
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: you I have a twelve year old son, so sometimes

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: I'm up with him or whatever. You know, we're doing stuff,

59
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 3: or you know, you live in a city. It's very noisy.

60
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: Some days you don't get great sleep, and it's okay.

61
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: But what I do is I focus on other things

62
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 3: around me. I focus on water, I focus on nutrition.

63
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: I focus on keeping my stress levels low. And if

64
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: I don't get enough sleep, I actually I have a

65
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: rule for myself. If I get under five and a

66
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 3: half hours of sleep, I don't work out the next day.

67
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: I focus more on meditation. I may do some yoga,

68
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: I may do some prayer, but I always have that

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: rule out five and a half hours no fitness the

70
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: next day.

71
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting.

72
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: Actually, I've recently got a wopband and this is not

73
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: an advertisement for work, but that has really helped me

74
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: will regulate more my slate versus my exercise and when

75
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: I need to build strain and when I need to

76
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: rest my body. Because it's a bit of a trap.

77
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just want to you do get into the well.

78
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: I just want to work out because I know it's

79
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: going to make me feel better after a bad night's sleep.

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: But it's it's kind of this well I have like

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: this feedback in my head that I'm always I'm always

82
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: struggling up against.

83
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: Yes, I can understand that, and that's what happens a

84
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: lot of times. People say, hey, listen, I gotta work out,

85
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: And I understand that if you don't invest in sleep.

86
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 3: Sleep is the most imperative and it's the number one

87
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 3: most important thing when it comes to wellness. You have

88
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: to focus on sleep, and we don't sleep regularly enough

89
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: and we don't get enough in a sense, even if

90
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 3: you want to take a ten minute nap during the day,

91
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: you know, I take naps during the day. But what

92
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: a ten minute, fifteen minute power nap does? Me? Agree,

93
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 3: But I always tell people it's sleep first. Forget the fitness.

94
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 3: If you're not getting your rest, you can't invest in

95
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: the gym.

96
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: The other interesting thing about you and what you've done

97
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: in your career is that you've worked obviously with celebrities.

98
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: That's interesting, but these celebrities have ranged from twenties, thirties, forties, fifties.

99
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: How do you and you've had success, congratulations, how do

100
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: you tailor your approach to different age groups? Because say

101
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: someone in their twenties versus someone in their forties who

102
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: is juggling three kids and might not get enough slate,

103
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: where someone in their twenties might have get the full

104
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: whole eight hours. I'm very envious of favoring in their

105
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: twenties having three kids with they might get eight hours

106
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: of uninterrupted slate.

107
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's interesting. So I used to live with

108
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: clients for extended period of time. I actually lived with

109
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: fifty cent when I was training him for four years.

110
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: I trained him for fifteen years. And whenever I start

111
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 3: working with a client, whether it's a someone who's in

112
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: the entertainment industry or an athlete or someone who's not

113
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 3: the entertainment industry and not an athlete. I always focus

114
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: on sleep first, and we work on that and we

115
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 3: do things like chromotherapy, and people are like, what's that?

116
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 3: Did you know? Actually, Felicity, sleeping with green sheets actually

117
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: makes you have a better nighttime sleep. What red? No? Yes, Red, yellow,

118
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: and orange increase intensity, energy, power, and strength. So people

119
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 3: who have red, yellow, and orange sheets, you're going to

120
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: get excitement. It's not going to be really the best

121
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: color for you to sleep. And so people are like, wow,

122
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 3: how did you learn about this? All this? I actually

123
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: studied on it because I always feel that I'm the

124
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: person I want to go through things with first test

125
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 3: it out on myself and then implement into my client

126
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: tele So when I had my surgeries and backsturgers and

127
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: all that along the line, I started focusing on sleep heavily,

128
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: wrote up a little pamphlet from it, and then I

129
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: just hand that booklet to my client talents and we

130
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 3: go through at each page by page. Here's what we're

131
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 3: going to focus on first with sleep, Here's we're going

132
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: to focus on next with stress. Then comes to nutrition

133
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: and then the fitness and a lot of people are like, wait,

134
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: I got to get in shape in thirty days for

135
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 3: a movie roles. And I'm like, wait, you're not sleeping.

136
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 3: You're not going to get in shape, nor are you

137
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 3: going to have the tenacity or the power to learn

138
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: your role and to be the best character role you can.

139
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: So say, did you have to get a celebrity in

140
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: shape within four weeks? I mean, how long do you

141
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: focus on the sleep account? Is that a week's worth

142
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: of the four weeks? Or where does the fitness come in?

143
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: If they have to say bulke out for Chris Hemsworth

144
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: tit role.

145
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: That's that's great. So what I do is I whenever

146
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: I'm brought in so I'm contracted or retained like a

147
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: like an attorney's yeah, So whenever whenever I get my contract,

148
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: I sit down with the client first and I let

149
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: them know where I come from. We're going to focus

150
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: on sleep, We're going to focus on stress, we're going

151
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: to focus on nutrition, and then we're going to focus

152
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: on your fitness. And they and they understand it. It

153
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: may take some time to explain it, but when you

154
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: when you give the example, and I always tell people

155
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: when you were in high school or college, and you

156
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: stayed up late, yes, to study for a test, but

157
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: did you have the strength and the energy the next

158
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: day to do anything else? And they're like no, And

159
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: I say, well, think about that compounding effect of not

160
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: getting enough sleep what that does to your body. And

161
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: then the client starts to understand, Hey, wait, I do

162
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: have to focus on sleep because that's going to increase

163
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: my gains. I do have to focus on sleep because

164
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: it has been shown medically and scientifically that it's going

165
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: to back everything that you do in the gym, with

166
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: the nutrition and everything with your stress. So that's why

167
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 3: we focus on sleep first.

168
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: Now you have to spill the beans. Do you have

169
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: a favorite celebrity you've worked with?

170
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: That's a great question. I have a favorite client that

171
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 3: I worked with.

172
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: Okay, who is that.

173
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: I once was hired by a mom to teach a

174
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: five year old kid how to ride a bike because

175
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 3: his dad was not around. His dad was not around,

176
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: And I always tell people this. You know, we're all celebrities.

177
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: It's not just who you turn on the TV to

178
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: watch or who do you go to the movie to see.

179
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: It's just that we don't celebrate life enough. So I

180
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: just wanted I always tell people we're all celebrities. We

181
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 3: just don't sell we celebrate a holiday or a birthday.

182
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: We should be celebrating ourselves each and every day because

183
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 3: we are so important. And that's one thing we have

184
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: to understand. So when you ask me that question about

185
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 3: who's my favorite client er, who I've worked with that

186
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: i've really I think about this child because for the

187
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: rest of his life, he's going to remember that I

188
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 3: taught him how to ride a bike and he's going

189
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: to pass that on to his child. Now, a celebrity

190
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: is going to not remember me in five to ten years.

191
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: They're not going to remember my name, you know, they'll

192
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: go and have ten other trainers or whatever. That child

193
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: is going to have an impression made by what I

194
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: did for him for the rest of his life, and

195
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: that means the world to me.

196
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well said, well answered, And I was dodging the

197
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: question as well. Now before we go, tell us what
