Digital Detoxing, Travel-Proofing Your Immune System, Underground Body Weight Workouts & More With Joe DiStefano.

Last week, I went rafting in the Grand Canyon, and I completely unplugged with zero cell phone or internet for five days. I came out of this "digital detox" extremely nervous about what my e-mail inbox would look like, how many voicemails and text messages I'd have, and what kind of fires I'd need to put out on the business front. But amazingly, things were just fine. It took me two hours to catch-up on e-mail. None of my clients died, and most got through their pre-written workouts just fine without me. The post office was still delivering mail to my home.

And life, my body, and my brain felt very, very good. Detoxed. Clean. My guest today, Joe DiStefano, is all about the digital detox. But he's no hairy hippie living in the woods. Instead, Joe is the co-founder of Spartan Coaching, the world's first international obstacle race training certification program. He has a B.S. in Exercise and Sports Science from Fitchburg State University, and he is pursuing a master's degree in Sports Psychology. Certified through the NASM as a Performance Enhancement Specialist and Corrective Exercise Specialist, he is also a Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the NSCA and has been trained at the C.H.E.K Institute as a Holistic Nutrition and Lifestyle Coach. Over the past decade, DiStafano has worked as a health and performance coach and a serial entrepreneur. Prior to joining Spartan Race, he oversaw the development of more than 100 women-only personal training studios across the U.S. His specialties include corrective exercise, nutrition, stress management, human psychology and business development.

During our discussion, you'll discover:

-Why Joe swears by using an "upright ski ergometer" as the #1 tool for total body fitness...

-The best way to make coffee if you want to retain all the bioactive, cognitive-performance enhancing components...

-Joe's top tip for travel-proofing your immune system...

-How to enhance the absorption of any supplement you take...

-The best body-weight-only travel workout you can do anytime, anyplace without anybody noticing...

-How your organs stick to one another, and the kind of breathing technique that can "unstick" these organs...

-Joe's underground method of making the gluten in bread less damaging...

-What happened to Joe's body when he experimented with doing 5-6 hours of yoga per day during a digital detox in Costa Rica...

-And much more...
