Please click PLAY to listen to this interview from the Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy Radio Show. We learn all about exercise dvds created just for the women from Ellen Barrett who is dedicated to helping women get in shape and to Sweat Glamorously.

Ellen Barrett’s passion as a fitness instructor is to create “Modern fitness for modern women.” And after having created best-selling fitness videos for Self magazine, Crunch and others, Barrett is finally releasing her own brand of fitness for women.

The first DVD in the series is The Studio by Ellen Barrett: FAT BURNING FUSION. It’s available now at www.ellenbarrett.com. The 40-minute workout is Barrett’s zen-ful signature blend of standing Pilates, flowing calisthenics and even a little ballet. It’s designed to feel good, burn fat and sculpt in a way that flatters the female physique.

FAT BURNING FUSION evolved from sold-out classes at Barrett’s New Haven facility, The Studio by Ellen Barrett. In fact, the video was filmed there with Barrett’s clients. As they clearly show, it’s one workout that is perfect for all ages and fitness levels. No equipment is needed, not even footwear. The workout begins with conscious breathing, tension-melting stretches and evolves into a rhythmic, mindful, fat-melting blitz that will leave one more exhilarated than exhausted. As Ellen likes to say, you will Sweat glamorously.”

Ellen has trained a bunch of celebrities like Christina Ricci and Justine Bateman when she was tearing up the fitness scene in Los Angeles’ trendy CRUNCH fitness on Sunset Blvd. .

Please click PLAY to listen to this interview from the Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy Radio Show. Which do you think is better for you - farm raised salmon or wild salmon? Which salmon choice is the environmentally friendly one? That’s a little trickier.

Well fear not, Nicci Micco, Senior Editor of Eating Well Magazine explained to us the difference between farm raised Atlantic salmon and wild salmon. She said that health-wise eating most fish and especially salmon is good for you. But from a “what’s better for the environment” perspective eating wild salmon is probably the way to go. You see this kind of insight is why we love having Nicci on our show as a regular contributor. Who knows more about healthy food than her?

To learn more about this topic please go to Dr Fitness’ favorite healthy food magazine’s website www.eatingwell.com Remember pick up this month’s Avocado issue - which goes into detail about this great salmon debate at Whole Foods or subscribe online.

And we closed the show with Pam Vetter, a celebrant from Los Angeles. For those not in the know a celebrant helps families heal with uplifting funerals. PAm has done celebrity funerals like Richard Pryor’s but spends most of her time helping regular folks go out in a way that really celebrates their life instead of a typical sad preachy service from a religious leader who in some cases barely knows the departed. I’ve heard of one funeral where the pastor just filled in a Mad Libs style eulogy with the person’s name. Funeral’s don’t have to be a buzz kill they can really be meaningful, fun and inspirational. Visit Pam online at www.thefunerallady.com or www.celebrantpam.comfor more information.

There is so much that we must be responsible for that our days feel dictated by those demands. When we are living like this, she call it “survival mode.”

Survival mode is living our life based on what we need to do to get by each day and fulfilling the demands placed on us.

Unfortunately, when we are in survival mode, we feel depleted and run down, which means we are not truly living. this is where we are susceptible to being overweight.

We’re trying something new. First we will podcast our show in it’s entirety then we’ll release just the guest interviews during the week. So please click PLAY above to listen to Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about how to protect your children from internet porn and the other hazards that these new technologies bring.

We were so fortunate to have Danielle Tiano and Karen Child in the studio this evening. They flew all the way from Southern California to meet with us. They are the creators of the Temptation of a Generation series of books. While this may seem off topic for us, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy are both parents who care deeply about protecting children from unnecessary harm and that’s exactly what these brilliant ladies do.

Tonight we talked mostly about protecting children from internet porn, but The Temptation of a Generation series is the first children’s series to tackle all of the tough issues today’s kids face in the information age. The series addresses pre-teen and adolescent issues such as self-image, technology addiction, relationships and more. These feature beautifully crafted illustrations in order to create a compelling visual experience to teach these important life lessons that will serve children well into adulthood.

As you’ll discover by listening to the interview, both Danielle and Karen have a passion to protect, educate and entertain children and they believe that the best way to do that is through the parents.

Their books begin by encouraging young readers to think about what effect technology has on their lives, specifically the activities and relationships they miss out on by focusing on the Internet and other electronics. The first in the series, Temptation of a Generation, explains the stages of Internet addiction and how the pornographic industry targets children as young as 8-years old.

Many families do not know how to open the forbidden lines of communication regarding sex and pornography, yet it needs to be addressed in every home…their books are the tool to do so. Some parents want to have “the talk” but don’t know how; others are too busy or naive thinking that problems will never find their child. After introducing the tough topic to your child, Danielle and Karen provide questions to facilitate a discussion and a worksheet to help develop Internet boundaries for your home. This series of books is a must have for every parent of kids who are online.

Please go to their websites and get more information and buy their books. www.temptationofageneration.com, www.beyondyourwords.com, www.karenchildmft.com and www.lifestarsocal.com. They have a newsletter and they are available to help you and help your kids. Also be sure to let the leaders at your church or synagogue know about this wonderful resource. This series of books should be in every library.

Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy Interview Raymond Francis, Author of Never Be Sick Again and Never Be Fat Again

We’re trying something new. First we will podcast our show in it’s entirety then we’ll release just the guest interviews during the week. So please click POD to listen to Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about how to Never Be Fat Again and Never Be Sick Again from Raymond Francis, founder of Beyond Health. Raymond is an M.I.T.-trained scientist and an expert in supplement chemistry. He has been called “one the few scientists to achieve a breakthrough understanding of health and disease.” And that endorsement wasn’t given to him by his good friend actor, Rob Schneider.I don’t know how Raymond did this, but Rob Schneider went on the Jimmy Kimmel show and basically did an infomercial for Raymond’s philosophy and books. You have to check it out on his website.

Raymond has created an interesting model of health that addresses the causes of disease rather than treating its symptoms. When you address the causes, he says the problems disappear. He believes there is only ONE DISEASE and only TWO CAUSES of disease. He wouldn’t tell us what they were but he said his website could give us a lot of good information about it.

The health information on his website and in his books Never Be Sick Again and Never Be Fat Again as well as his newsletter Beyond Health News is designed to inform you of health choices that will empower you to choose health, helping you to get well, stay well and never be sick again. During the interview he gave us great tips like eat fresh fruits and veggies, don’t eat processed foods, use high quality supplementation and make sure you get enough calcium. He also mentioned that because the soil contains much less minerals and nutrients you have to eat a lot more vegetables and fruits to get the same level of nutrition as you would have 50 years ago. So he thinks supplements are the way to go. Please check out his website www.beyondhealth.com for more information.
