Let me ask a question. Do you feel like you’re at a point in life where you feel like something has to shift...it could be changing a job, losing weight, moving to a new state, improving or ending a relationship?

If you’re frustrated or confused about how to take action and get started in that process, then today’s show with Julie Weiss is for you. Julie wrote the book, The Miles and Trials Of A Marathon Goddess.

Imagine having the determination to run 52 marathons in 52 weeks...it seems impossible. But that’s exactly what Julie did.

In her book, she opens up her soul and talks about the tough stuff that happened in her life...the dark side, the demons, the bad choices she made, and when she finally hit bottom and felt completely overwhelmed, she decided to finally reclaim her life. And she did it one step at a time...or should I say, 26.2 miles at a time. And along the way she raised over half a million dollars for a cause near and dear to her heart.

Julie’s powerful message of determination will give you the courage to step outside your comfort zone and make the changes you want.

If you’re ready to spread your wings and make things happen, listen up!

Today, we're talking about vitamins. It might have started with chewable Flintstones that your mom gave you as a kid, then in college it was vitamin infused water, and now there is an edgier and somewhat controversial method called vitamin vaping. Although the delivery systems might have changed through the years, this idea of supplementing your diet with vitamins has been something that’s been part of our lifestyle since the time we were little ones.

So the question is: Do we even need to take vitamins?

We know that taking vitamins and minerals is never going to justify less-than-healthy eating habits. But, there’s growing evidence that the right supplements can improve your health and vitality, including maintaining bone density and muscle mass, improving brain function and mental clarity, balancing hormones and rejuvenating skin, hair and nails.

One trip down the vitamin aisle and you’re bombarded with hundreds of options, and some with outrageous claims. That can cause decision fatigue and opting out of adding any of the supplements to your cart.

So, if your head starts to spin when you start to talk about vitamins, welcome to the club! But that’s all about to change because today’s guest Shawn Wells is here to clarify the confusion and simplify a conversation that can tend to be very complicated. Shawn has a divergent background. He is a Registered Dietitian with a decade of experience as a Chief Clinical Dietitian in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. He is also a Certified Sports Nutritionist and has worked with celebrity clients and professional athletes. All of this experience combined with his extensive background in formulating supplements for big companies converge to make him the world’s greatest formulator.
