Physician Selected CBD Hemp Oil | Dr. Pete Gemelli HGP#36

11/30/2018 hourglass pod Episodes 56:28 Comments Off on Physician Selected CBD Hemp Oil | Dr. Pete Gemelli HGP#36

CBD, also known as hemp oil, is a hot topic right now and often comes with a negative stigma. This episode is here to give you all you need and want to know about CBD. CBD is a compound of the hemp plant that has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, neuro-protectant qualities, and healing properties.

My guest this week is Dr. Pete Gemelli, a Physiatrist who works with pain patients who deal with chronic and acute pain. Due to the rise of opioid overuse and abuse, Dr. Gemelli wanted something that wasn’t a narcotic that he could prescribe to pain patients. Dr. Gemelli set out on a mission to find an alternative and after months of research he decided to consider CBD as an alternative.

One of the first challenges he faced was finding a product that was clean and pure where he knew what was in it. Ultimately this led him to create Physician Selected: a broad spectrum, high quality hemp oil that contains very minimal THC, offering users the peace of mind of a safe product that isn’t harmful.

In this podcast episode we:

  • Break down the common misconceptions of CBD products
  • Share how CBD is different from THC/Marijuana.

We learn:

  • Why Dr. Gemelli created his own product and started prescribing it to his patients.
  • How his product is made, or the extraction and filtering process.
  • How it’s different from other products on the market.
  • Is cannabis medicine safe?
  • Proper dosage (because let’s face it, that’s really important when you’re taking a new product).
  • Health benefits.

If you are interested in learning more about CBD, hemp oil, and CBD products, then this the podcast episode for you! Be sure to listen out for a special coupon code for Hourglass listeners to get a discount off your first order.

Flow Movement | Fitness Model, Athlete and Pole Fitness Champion: Marlo Fisken HGP#35

11/17/2018 hourglass pod Episodes 52:13 Comments Off on Flow Movement | Fitness Model, Athlete and Pole Fitness Champion: Marlo Fisken HGP#35

I recently met up with fitness guru, Marlo Fisken, at Pole Expo in Las Vegas. She was gracious enough to share an hour of her time chatting with me about her company, Flow Movement, which is more than just a brand; it’s a lifestyle. Flow movement includes apparel line, Floor Flow tutorials and teacher training, pole work, Flowbility, and events + workshops that bring in guest teachers.

You may be wondering, what the heck is Flow? When we talk about Flow, we mean the exciting feeling of being in the zone. Flow is defined as an “optimal state of consciousness where we feel our best and perform our best.” Experts say only 5% of workers spend their time in a blissful, high-productivity work state. Imagine the impacts on your performance and mood if you could increase your work flow!

Flow doesn’t just heighten creativity in the moment, it heightens it over the long haul. In other words, being in flow actually trains us to be more creative. Marlo gushes on the importance movement has on our bodies. Movement is more than just moving our bodies; it encompasses the clothing we wear, the shoes on our feet, and the furniture we sit on.

Marlo’s goal is to help us into the environments we create for ourselves and think about what’s valued when it comes to movement. She would like to see more things that create movement. Think movement zones, interactive exhibits; things that get people to step outside of the sedentary lifestyle, off their phones, and moving.

Marlo has been dancing going on 30 years. She started competing in the sport of pole dancing in 2009 and has won 3 different titles:

She is most known for her creativity on the pole; creating moves that people have never seen before. Marlo travels seven months out of the year and currently resides in Boulder, Colorado, which she dubs a “movement bubble.”

Nature Girl | Kierstin Jarvis HGP#34

11/09/2018 hourglass pod Episodes 1:54:10 Comments Off on Nature Girl | Kierstin Jarvis HGP#34

Nature Girl is a female owned company that plans trips for women, to bring them together and get them outdoors. Nature Girl Kierstin Jarvis is all about adventure, travel, and exploring. Kierstin believes we should all take time to reconnect with nature. Being outdoors and connecting with nature feeds our soul and makes our senses come alive.

Nature Girl wants to bring women together to connect with themselves, with each each other, and with the great big world around us. Nature Girl aims to create experiences and opportunities for women to take a leap and do things they have never done before, to step outside their every day responsibilities, their routines, and maybe even their comfort zones; to get OUTSIDE.

Nature Girl believes that adventure is good for your soul.  They also believe in the power of connecting with Nature, in being OUTSIDE with the sun (or rain, or snow) on our faces and the wind in our hair. They believe that Nature, Adventure, Exploration, and Travel is for everyone and that every woman can be a Nature Girl if she takes the chance.

Kierstin shares her personal experience on “el camino de Santiago”, which she says is one of the most profound experiences of her life. She also talks about her travels to Iceland and backpacking the Art Loeb Trail in the Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina.

If you’re looking for ways to step outside your comfort zone or just looking to connect with yourself or other women, check out Nature Girl Outdoor Adventures.
