Some foods go above and beyond when it comes to nourishing the human body.

Thousands upon thousands of foods have some of the nutrients we need to sustain health, but many of the superfoods you’re about to learn about today come very close to having it all.

I have a deep affinity for many of these foods because they have helped to revolutionize my health. And I don’t say that lightly.

I’ve gained so much from utilizing these foods that it’s really hard to put to words. But the real game-changing insight for me was discovering, not just what superfoods to use, but how to actually get the most from them. That’s what today’s show is all about.

Mahatma Ghandi's epic quote, "Be the change you want to see in the world," begins in your own home.

Our family, friends, and (most importantly) our children are mimicking and modeling us more than we know.

Science has proven that we are, in fact, a direct product of our environment. You can set up an environment that cultivates healthy automatically as a side effect. Or, on the flip side, you can unconsciously be setting up an environment that breeds low energy, obesity, and poor health if you're not careful.

There is a lot more to health than just looking good.

As a health & fitness expert, it may be grounds for impeachment to say that, but sometimes the reality of things can get off track when we're bombarded with so many messages telling us otherwise.

A fit body does not necessarily mean a healthy liver, clean blood, optimal brain function, and a properly functioning gastrointestinal tract among other things. There are millions of seemingly "fit" people that are significantly unhealthy when you see them from the inside out.

I know because I was one of these people...

When I was 16-years old I had a 6-pack, huge pecs, and could run a 4.4 40-yard dash. I looked and even performed at a high level, but inside I was a ticking time-bomb waiting to go off.

If you know my story then you know that by the age of just 20 I was diagnosed with a degenerative spinal disease that eventually led to a 50 pound weight, depression, and severe pain that had me on highly toxic painkillers for almost two and a half years of my life.

There was a bright light at the end of the tunnel for me, but for many others who've been mislead by the health & fitness industry, they are still struggling to find their way.

Well, we are working to make a huge shift in this today! You're about to get access to someone who is making tremendous strides in uniting the worlds of fitness and real health together. He doesn't claim to be perfect, nor does he want to be, but he has a model that has really worked for him, and now he's working to share it with the world.

Our guest today is IFBB physique pro Steve Cook. He has found that real health is not just what you look like on the outside, and it's not just about the right nutrition and exercise either. It's about something far deeper and more important that you're going to learn today, and I think that you're going to be totally blown away!

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why people can get lost in only caring about their physical appearance.
• How health and fitness can be two totally separate things.
• How bodybuilding competitions can distort your self-image when you're not preparing for a show.
• Why you typically don't see many healthy, vibrant bodybuilders once they get older in age.
• What inspired Steve to really look into the meaning of happiness (this is powerful!)
• The very 1st thing you need to do when working to change your body.
• What type of exercises are most important for making great physical changes.
• How the amount of weight and reps you do can change your body in different ways.
• Whether or not women should be concerned about putting on mass when lifting heavy weights.
• What priority training is.
• The only time you should never do cardio.
• Why having a plan matters so much.
• Powerful tips about squats that you need to know about.
• Whether or not overtraining is something you should be concerned about.
• We you might want to include supersets in your fitness training.

Your life is like a wheel.

There are so many different components that come together to create your own personal "circle of life" (cue the Lion King Music!).

These components are: Your health - your family and relationships - your career/work or mission - your finances - and your spiritual health and contribution.

Life is not complete without the growth and development in all of these areas. The problem is, we are usually very off balance in one or the other based on where we are in our life.

Your body might be banging, but your finances are in the toilet. You might have awesome relationships, but you're simultaneously struggling in your career. So, you see, your "circle of life" (your wheel) is usually pretty jagged and bumpy because of some parts being up and some parts being down... and this is what leads to a very bumpy ride in life.

The truth is, life will have it's ups and downs, but there can be a lot more smooth sailing if you're able to grow gracefully and consistently in all areas. The question really is: How do you do it? And today, I have the perfect person to show you exactly how it's done.

Many years ago I was sitting with my then girlfriend (now my wife... yep, I scored!) and we were watching this film that my amazing mother-in-law said we HAVE to watch...

I honestly wasn't very interested in watching it... I had so much going on with trying to figure out how to structure my client's programs and even how I was going to pay my rent.

We clicked play, and something unexpected happened.

A man named Bob Proctor came on the screen with this confidence, grace, and sense of knowing that I'd never experienced before. I hung on his every word, and whatever this man had figured out, I wanted to know it too!

The film broke down the hidden, but extremely real world of quantum mechanics. Not in a, "you'd better put on your pocket protector way", but in a real world "I get this" way that made me realize something profound.

I realized in that moment what I had always known intuitively my entire life... That I matter. That I'm special. That I'm here to share the unique gifts that I have. That I am influencing the world around me (for the good and the not-so-good) based on the predominant thoughts that I'm carrying around in my mind.

Bob told me that day, "If you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand."

The science in the film really spoke to my man-brain. The message in the film really spoke to my heart.

Today I'm beyond honored to say that I have Bob Proctor on my show to be able to share him with you. In my mind him connecting with me is a result of hard work and effort. In my heart him connecting with me is a result of how powerful we all our to attract into our life the people, things, and resources we need to make the life we want a reality. Buckle in tight, because this is powerful!

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why your results in life depend on your "inner game".
• What book transformed Bob's life over 50 years ago that he still reads today.
• Why you can never truly enjoy something without sharing it.
• How financial health impacts your health overall.
• How contribution can radically improve your finances (it worked for me too!)
• The most important and useful skill that's not being taught in schools today.
• Why kids are able to learn so much more than they are often given credit for.
• Why you need to get straight A's WAY after your schooling days are over.
• What acceptance REALLY means and why it's so powerful in your life.
• Why listening is a critical skill for success (and why many of us are doing it wrong!)
• How every-single-person is a leader in one way or another.
• Why improving your leadership capacity is so important.
• Whether or not someone is a "producer" or an "almost".
• How your self-image is actually formed.
• What you must do to transform your self-image.
• Why you should NEVER try to lose weight again (this is powerful!)
• What your #1 driving force really is (whether you realize it or not!)
• Why most people are programmed NOT to have longevity and what you can do to change that.
