The DeFlame Diet.

So I have a great book I want to recommend to you. It’s called “The Deflame Diet: DeFlame your diet, body, and mind” by Dr. David Seaman.

This book is great. I’ve been eating this way for awhile now. If you’re a Voice Talent who has to clear their throat a lot throughout the day, maybe have some post-nasal drip, or are feeling sluggish and run down – you want to check this book out. The link above is an affiliate link through Amazon.com.

It was given to me by my trainer Mandla Nkosi. The book explains through scientific research that most chronic diseases like heart disease, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and a host of others are all caused by eating an “Inflammatory diet.” An inflammatory diet is one that promotes chronic inflammation throughout the body that over time leads to these diseases.

Sources of inflammation are refined sugars and grains – pretty much a good portion of the “Western” diet. The book explains how inflammation gets started and how it affects every cell in our body. It also explains how to “DeFlame” and live a healthier lifestyle. It’s not as crazy and hard to do as you may think. You just need to look out for a few key ingredients and eat whole, unprocessed foods.

Have you modified your eating plan to help your voice? Please share your thoughts with us below!

Episode 38: Will “Uber” Technology Kill Voice Over?

Click Here To Learn More About The Opportunity In This Episode

This Episode is all about how technology has impacted our economy

John_and_MIKE_2-13-14

John Melley and MIKE! In The Studio

– and different sectors of the economy in ways we never could have imagined before.

A cab driver recently told me his revenue is down 80% due to Uber (!) Do you think Cabbies ever expected the internet to impact their income like this?

“Traditional” BIG Companies Are Impacted Too!

Bic Pens is waging “Fight for your Write” letting us know that Penmanship leads to improved creativity, better reading comprehension and retention of information.

Experts on the Bic web site bicfightforyourwrite.com discuss studies about how handwriting is linked to better learning. How writing and learning are wired together in the brain and how kids who aren’t writing – literally have brains that are “wired” differently than most of the people who listen to this podcast who grew up going to school learning penmanship!

Why do you think Bic got involved? They’re not selling pens like they used to.

Even Retailers on the Cutting Edge of Technology Gadgets…

Staples is seeing a drop in sales in notepads and other things people used to write on. I just got an email from Staples today letting me know they offer Small Business Loans.

They’re looking for other sources of revenue. Why? Technology is impacting sectors of the economy in ways that we never considered.

Can this happen to Voice Over?

I believe it can.

In this episode I discuss why and how I believe we can be replaced…

And I offer an alternative to offset that possibility through the creation of our own products and services that we market and sell.

I Offer YOU an Opportunity to Watch As I Create a Product…

Selfie (A Really Bad One) of Looking over John's Shoulder.... Get it?

Selfie (A Really Bad One) of Looking over John’s Shoulder…. Get it?

And teach you how to do the same for your future success. An opportunity To Look Over My Shoulder.

Episode 16 The Goose That Lays The Golden Egg

Opening Music: “Mission” From the Album Hold Your Fire by Rush

Hold Your Fire
Keep it burning bright
Hold the flame ’til the dream ignites
A Spirit with a vision

Mandla Nkosi

Mandla combines Joint Mobility, Kettlebell Training and Body-Weight Exercises to provide pain free, movement-based solutions to fitness enthusiasts and elite athletes alike.

Mandla strips every routine, exercise and drill down to its basic components to ensure that you receive a complete and comprehensive understanding of what is involved. He aims to promote a love for movement and athleticism, that takes his clients way beyond their expectations and goals, to achieve powerful and enduring results.

Mandla has provided physical training for over ten years to clients ranging from children to adults and fitness newcomers to professional athletes. For the past six years, he has consistently taught classes in his own studio as well as successfully implemented other programs in a number of fitness facilities.

In This Episode We Discuss:

  • How Everyone is an Athlete (We all use our bodies to accomplish our work)
  • How even SITTING takes a certain type of training!
  • Comparing Sedentary Vs. Active – An athlete wouldn’t train for 12+ hours everyday. You shouldn’t sit for 12+ hours a day either. Both take a physical toll
  • Don’t underestimate the power of good nutrition
  • Your Capacity for Productivity and Earning Potential Increases the healthier you are
  • And Much More!
