Year healthy your life with Craig Pepin bagel, a certified personal trainer and author of the book “Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie.
Kevin: Good evening, everybody. So Craig, you were in the fitness industry for over 26 years and that, I think, to think a little wisdom. Why not begin his story and how you got where you are now?
Craig: Of course, Kevin. Well, first of all, I started in the fitness industry as a personal trainer would be $ 3. 50 hours.
Kevin: Wow.
Craig: So I was on it for a while, and I grew up through the ranks in the fitness industry at the executive level. I am the president of two large fitness organization in the United States. I was an executive vice president of sales and marketing at a major chain of fitness clubs in the world, operating in 11 countries. I also successfully owned and operated his own company gym. I have visited 30 countries and assess the health and fitness trends throughout Russia, Asia in Europe. I dozens of fitness conventions, bought millions of dollars in equipment, food supplements and other health and fitness-related products, as well as I had the opportunity to train thousands of health and fitness professionals around the world and help them to help others improve their lives . So it’s really kind of led me to where I am now where I just got in when I want to do something else, so I wrote a book called Big Fat Health & Fitness Lee founded Fit Advocate. com, so I can create platform to protect and improve the lives and health and fitness consumers.
Kevin: Now you just mentioned your book, Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie I’m just delighted. With fat fitness lies. Let’s just put it on the table.
Craig: Why no uncertain terms? “Let’s dig right in. lie in the fact that there are a billion dollar industry there is getting richer and we get sick and thicker, and all so-called solutions available for losing weight and improving our health, we are literally worse, the history of modern civilization. There are huge profits in the disease and obesity, and many times people question and think: “Oh, well, we live in the United States of America, we are in great health and we have the best health care system, which is a complete fallacy. Here’s an interesting fact that People should know we are approaching some people 300000000 us, and every year 200 million disease to be tested for conditions that can be prevented by simple changes in life.
Kevin : Wow.
Craig: And we are in the United States, 270000000000 USD 3. 7000000000 recipe is written, not to cure anything because there are really very few treatments in modern medicine, medicine is meant mostly to mask our symptoms. So getting our body of many toxic chemicals, and you know that there is so much confusion and misinformation out there about health and fitness. Therefore, there are great opportunities, unfortunately, for people who make big money on the ignorance of people about how to lose weight, improve your health, get in shape and lead more effectively. So millions of people out there paying thousands of dollars, not being able to help them achieve their goals, and that in fact a big fat lie.
Kevin: And let me ask you, you’re on the other hand, you were part of industries that produce a lot of money on fitness clubs and organizations, and all. If you suddenly say: “Hey, you know, maybe I need to enlighten people about it.
Craig: Well, first of all, I never felt that the club industry a bad industry.
Kevin: OK.
Craig: And in my book, I still am a big proponent of joining a fitness center for the average person there, of course, and a warning how to get a quality club. I have an article about the 10 worst ways to the fitness industry. So I try to reveal what I think is bad, but there are a lot of good, but what I noticed when I was working all the clubs and trying to help the people that I talk to thousands of customers, face to face. For much of my career, my job is to go out there and help, people working in this field, club operators, managers, salespeople, fitness staff members, personal trainers, talk to him about how to help people make decisions that are good for them and guide, of course, always focus on making money, focus on helping people, and you will make money as a natural result, as the natural bi-work to help people. It was always one of my rules, but turning to consumers, you’ll find that the average person spends thousands of dollars in goods and services without any chance to help them. They spend hours and hours of wasted time on information that will never allow them to improve their health and change their lives. So I was tired, frustrated and really kind of insults at all quick fix solutions that there are people jumping from each other and without any real understanding of the real reasons why they are poor health. Therefore, I would try to enlighten them all, is deception, while seeking to give them simple solutions on how to improve your health, how to lose weight, as if to get in shape, how to live better, feel better, without tricks and tricks are not for life. It really is that big fat lie of health and fitness all about that and what really act Fit site is all about.
Kevin: Did you use a different approach in his book, unlike many other books I have read about health and fitness, and related addiction. You say addiction feeds this whole lie. What do you mean?
Craig: Well, many people living in a self-inflicted toxic lifestyle that destroys their health and feeds this lie. So what I mean? Well, the definition of toxic, first of all, is poison for our society, and we are surrounded by poison the air, so in our water, some of them we can not avoid, and many of them we can, though. A lot of poison, they are not going to kill us today, and what they do, they slowly and silently damage and destroy our health.
There are two specific types of food or toxin, I say that a health problem. First, of course exposure. There are thousands of combinations of untested chemicals in our food supply to improve taste, texture, color, or extend the expiration date. There are low calorie, low-carbohydrate permeated with toxic sweeteners that have contributed to the development of obesity and diabetes. We are accustomed to believe that sodium fluoride, for example, it is good for our teeth. But it is well-known chemical waste bi-products of aluminum and phosphate fertilizer. chemicals have been pumped into our water supply and put into our dental hygiene of years, but ftaryravannya was flatly rejected by many developed countries because of the risk and the lack of a real or scientific evidence of any health benefits. In addition, we will have toxic chemicals in our products in house, our cleaning products, personal hygiene items. Fruits and vegetables treated with herbicides and pesticides. Chickens and cows are fed ground chicken and beef. Then, filled with antibiotics to prevent the disease from the horrific conditions in which they live and where they were killed. So we all know, all this chemical toxicity. That is the first concern.
The second is the largest toxic effects associated with stress, and people do not realize it, but as much as 80% of all diseases is the result of stress and had the opportunity to travel around the world and visit, you know, I think I’m over 40 countries in the world, you find that we have in America the most stressed country in the world. We have more than any other activity except sleeping. Think about our daily lives, we wake up every day and we were running on empty from morning till night. We got pressure at work, home, problems of preservation of some happy relationships with our significant others. We have a child, trying to pay bills. We have all the negative news. All that we are trying to live the American dream, which is based on financial freedom, but in reality only a small portion of people out there really understand all of the American dream and the rest of us are just trying to benefit, and, you know, we’re buried in mountains of debt. All these things add up to a lot of anxiety and stress and to cope with stress, what do we do? We drink, we smoke, our drugs, we over eat, we eat the wrong foods, and we spend hours watching television or the Internet. All of these activities, unfortunately make us fat, lazy and out of shape, and that is difficult to health with a fascinating life creates and opens the door for a fat health and fitness lies. One of these companies in this market, production and marketing and sales is not likely to help us, then, of course, what is worse, when we look at synthetic chemicals, prescription drugs, and the first line of defense to preserve their health problems caused by . So we really have a lot of issues that we deal with to be healthy, but people need to understand the basics of where it begins, the case.
Kevin: Yes. How do people get a kind of addiction or quote unquote addictive personality and appeal to fitness success?
Craig: Well, the first thing they should do is recognize.
Kevin: Yes.
Craig: You know it. That is a fact that is very important that people should know, as one of the reasons that people give for not exercising regularly, they do not have enough time, good. But the average American, 4:00 a-half hours of television a day. So the question of priority and people understand that time is the most important and most importantly, what we have in mind when she’s gone you can not get it back. If you want to improve your health, you need to make time to do whatever is necessary to improve and enhance your health and your life, and it not only works, but it is one of the key elements. Therefore, they must first understand the issues and then have the right motivation and the right priorities to it, where they should be.
