<v Speaker 1>very late at night.

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Nice to have you on the podcast.

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's an honor, Felistening. Thank you so much much

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 3>for having me. Now.

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 2>You recently had a starring role on the front of

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>our print.

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Edition at Body and Soul and shared your four pillars

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of fitness now very interestingly and I know You've been

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>asked this before, but I need to know sleep, stress,

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.919
<v Speaker 1>nutrition and physicality as an expert.

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Why the fitness bit. Last.

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Sure, it's quite interesting when I mentioned that to a

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.119
<v Speaker 3>lot of people. If you really want to think about it,

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 3>fitness is the last part of wellness. We really have

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 3>to focus on a couple things. First we focus on sleep.

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 3>Sleep sets a tone for the entire day. Just think

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 3>about it. If you don't get a lot of sleep,

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 3>you're not going to say, hey, I wanted to rugule

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 3>a salad with tomatoes and good dressing. You're going to say,

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 3>I want at cheeseburger with soda. So sleep is the

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 3>most imperative thing. It sets the whole tone for the body.

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 3>Then we talk about stress because you're dealing with that.

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 3>If you don't get enough sleep, you're going to have

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 3>a lot of stress on your plate. So sleep stress.

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 3>And then the next is nutrition. If sleep and stress

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 3>are not in order, it's very hard for a person

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 3>to say, hey, I want to make great choices when

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 3>it comes to nutrition. And the last and people are

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 3>like the last, but you're a fitness guy, Yeah, the

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:15.239
<v Speaker 3>last is fitness because what a lot of times happens

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 3>is we jump into fitness. It's January fifteenth. The majority

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 3>it's actually statistically a show ninety five percent of people

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 3>who start New Year's resolutions with fitness quit by the

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 3>fifteenth of January because they don't focus on the other

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 3>three things. First, you need to focus on sleep, You

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 3>need to focus on stress, nutrition, and then fitness.

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Now it's it's ironic.

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm interviewing you, and it's what is it nine point

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty or ten o'clock in New York? How do you

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 1>go when you've had a well, a bit of a

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.839
<v Speaker 1>rough night sleep, I mean the next day with your

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>fitness habits, your four pillars.

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 3>That's a great question. There are a lot of times

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.520
<v Speaker 3>you I have a twelve year old son, so sometimes

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm up with him or whatever. You know, we're doing stuff,

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 3>or you know, you live in a city. It's very noisy.

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.639
<v Speaker 3>Some days you don't get great sleep, and it's okay.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 3>But what I do is I focus on other things

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 3>around me. I focus on water, I focus on nutrition.

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 3>I focus on keeping my stress levels low. And if

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't get enough sleep, I actually I have a

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 3>rule for myself. If I get under five and a

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.359
<v Speaker 3>half hours of sleep, I don't work out the next day.

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 3>I focus more on meditation. I may do some yoga,

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 3>I may do some prayer, but I always have that

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 3>rule out five and a half hours no fitness the

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 3>next day.

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's interesting.

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Actually, I've recently got a wopband and this is not

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>an advertisement for work, but that has really helped me

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>will regulate more my slate versus my exercise and when

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I need to build strain and when I need to

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>rest my body. Because it's a bit of a trap.

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you just want to you do get into the well.

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I just want to work out because I know it's

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 1>going to make me feel better after a bad night's sleep.

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's kind of this well I have like

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>this feedback in my head that I'm always I'm always

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>struggling up against.

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I can understand that, and that's what happens a

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 3>lot of times. People say, hey, listen, I gotta work out,

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 3>And I understand that if you don't invest in sleep.

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 3>Sleep is the most imperative and it's the number one

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 3>most important thing when it comes to wellness. You have

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 3>to focus on sleep, and we don't sleep regularly enough

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 3>and we don't get enough in a sense, even if

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 3>you want to take a ten minute nap during the day,

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, I take naps during the day. But what

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 3>a ten minute, fifteen minute power nap does? Me? Agree,

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:41.160
<v Speaker 3>But I always tell people it's sleep first. Forget the fitness.

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 3>If you're not getting your rest, you can't invest in

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 3>the gym.

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 1>The other interesting thing about you and what you've done

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 1>in your career is that you've worked obviously with celebrities.

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>That's interesting, but these celebrities have ranged from twenties, thirties, forties, fifties.

0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>How do you and you've had success, congratulations, how do

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you tailor your approach to different age groups? Because say

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 1>someone in their twenties versus someone in their forties who

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>is juggling three kids and might not get enough slate,

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>where someone in their twenties might have get the full

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>whole eight hours. I'm very envious of favoring in their

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 1>twenties having three kids with they might get eight hours

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of uninterrupted slate.

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so it's interesting. So I used to live with

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 3>clients for extended period of time. I actually lived with

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 3>fifty cent when I was training him for four years.

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 3>I trained him for fifteen years. And whenever I start

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 3>working with a client, whether it's a someone who's in

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 3>the entertainment industry or an athlete or someone who's not

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 3>the entertainment industry and not an athlete. I always focus

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 3>on sleep first, and we work on that and we

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 3>do things like chromotherapy, and people are like, what's that?

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Did you know? Actually, Felicity, sleeping with green sheets actually

0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 3>makes you have a better nighttime sleep. What red? No? Yes, Red, yellow,

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 3>and orange increase intensity, energy, power, and strength. So people

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.600
<v Speaker 3>who have red, yellow, and orange sheets, you're going to

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 3>get excitement. It's not going to be really the best

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 3>color for you to sleep. And so people are like, wow,

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 3>how did you learn about this? All this? I actually

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 3>studied on it because I always feel that I'm the

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 3>person I want to go through things with first test

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.679
<v Speaker 3>it out on myself and then implement into my client

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 3>tele So when I had my surgeries and backsturgers and

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 3>all that along the line, I started focusing on sleep heavily,

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 3>wrote up a little pamphlet from it, and then I

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 3>just hand that booklet to my client talents and we

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.480
<v Speaker 3>go through at each page by page. Here's what we're

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 3>going to focus on first with sleep, Here's we're going

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 3>to focus on next with stress. Then comes to nutrition

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 3>and then the fitness and a lot of people are like, wait,

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I got to get in shape in thirty days for

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.479
<v Speaker 3>a movie roles. And I'm like, wait, you're not sleeping.

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.600
<v Speaker 3>You're not going to get in shape, nor are you

0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 3>going to have the tenacity or the power to learn

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.840
<v Speaker 3>your role and to be the best character role you can.

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.599
<v Speaker 1>So say, did you have to get a celebrity in

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>shape within four weeks? I mean, how long do you

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 1>focus on the sleep account? Is that a week's worth

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>of the four weeks? Or where does the fitness come in?

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>If they have to say bulke out for Chris Hemsworth

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>tit role.

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 3>That's that's great. So what I do is I whenever

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm brought in so I'm contracted or retained like a

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 3>like an attorney's yeah, So whenever whenever I get my contract,

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 3>I sit down with the client first and I let

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 3>them know where I come from. We're going to focus

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 3>on sleep, We're going to focus on stress, we're going

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 3>to focus on nutrition, and then we're going to focus

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 3>on your fitness. And they and they understand it. It

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 3>may take some time to explain it, but when you

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 3>when you give the example, and I always tell people

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 3>when you were in high school or college, and you

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 3>stayed up late, yes, to study for a test, but

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 3>did you have the strength and the energy the next

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 3>day to do anything else? And they're like no, And

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 3>I say, well, think about that compounding effect of not

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 3>getting enough sleep what that does to your body. And

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 3>then the client starts to understand, Hey, wait, I do

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 3>have to focus on sleep because that's going to increase

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 3>my gains. I do have to focus on sleep because

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 3>it has been shown medically and scientifically that it's going

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 3>to back everything that you do in the gym, with

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 3>the nutrition and everything with your stress. So that's why

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 3>we focus on sleep first.

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Now you have to spill the beans. Do you have

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>a favorite celebrity you've worked with?

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 3>That's a great question. I have a favorite client that

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:36.679
<v Speaker 3>I worked with.

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, who is that.

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.840
<v Speaker 3>I once was hired by a mom to teach a

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 3>five year old kid how to ride a bike because

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 3>his dad was not around. His dad was not around,

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 3>And I always tell people this. You know, we're all celebrities.

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 3>It's not just who you turn on the TV to

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 3>watch or who do you go to the movie to see.

0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 3>It's just that we don't celebrate life enough. So I

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 3>just wanted I always tell people we're all celebrities. We

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 3>just don't sell we celebrate a holiday or a birthday.

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 3>We should be celebrating ourselves each and every day because

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 3>we are so important. And that's one thing we have

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 3>to understand. So when you ask me that question about

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.319
<v Speaker 3>who's my favorite client er, who I've worked with that

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.080
<v Speaker 3>i've really I think about this child because for the

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 3>rest of his life, he's going to remember that I

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 3>taught him how to ride a bike and he's going

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 3>to pass that on to his child. Now, a celebrity

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 3>is going to not remember me in five to ten years.

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 3>They're not going to remember my name, you know, they'll

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 3>go and have ten other trainers or whatever. That child

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 3>is going to have an impression made by what I

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 3>did for him for the rest of his life, and

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 3>that means the world to me.
