In Today’s Episode I’m bringing you Rafe Kelley.  He’s a movement coach that took his background in Parkour and developed his own art of movement method he calls, Evolve Move Play.  In today’s episode we explore why you’ll receive more bang for your buck, both financially and time-wise from exercising outdoors.  How to turn your exercise time into play time, why everyone should take a self defense class, and how do to it in ways that will make you more happy and more productive, and much much more.  Rafe is not only a thought leader in the physical movement arena, I found him to be very down to earth, which I always appreciate.  I highly recommend all his work, if you’re interested.  I’m planning on taking his week long course this coming August of 2016, and I’m excited about that.  You can find his links on the show note page for this episode.  And I think I made a goof.  I was saying in the episode the show notes were at going to be at www.drchrisfrykman.com/evolvemoveplay, which they are.  But then at the

Many people struggling with chronic pain, inflammation, or other chronic symptoms and disease have an incredibly long and harrowing journey trying to find answers to what sometimes it seems no one can tell them… "What’s wrong with me?"  Because everyone is an individual and every body is different, I can’t tell you through a podcast what’s wrong with you or your loved one.  However, there are several good places to start digging.  The fundamentals I like to discuss with my clients and patients are something I borrowed from Dr Bob Rakowski, who I interview in episode 7.  He calls them the magnificent 7.  Eat Right, Drink Right, Move Right, Poop Right, Sleep Right, Think Right, and Talk Right.  These fundamentals are where you should probably be spending the majority of your time tweaking whether you’re struggling with a chronic condition or whether your a professional athlete.  They are the fundamentals because they are important to everyone.  Once you and your doctor feel these fundamentals are well attended

Welcome to Vibrant Potential.  I’m your host, Dr Chris Frykman.  Today’s guest is Dr Jeff Sandquist.  I like this dude.  He’s a chiropractor, a nutritional expert, and a self proclaimed multipotentialite.  This is a killer show for you if you’re constantly being drawn in another direction.  I’ve listed tons of resources for you on the the show notes for today’s show at www.drchrisfrykman.com/intentionallywandering.  Intentionally Wandering is the name of Jeff’s show too.  I love Intentionally wandering because Jeff gives us permission to not know.  I don’t know if that’s how Jeff would put it, but for me that’s a significant concept.  Jeff encourages us to be flexibly focused on life journey, not the destination.  He just released an episode on his show in which he interviews me.  You can find that at www.intentionallywandering.com/32.  My intention with this podcast is to help your achieve YOUR Vibrant Potential.  Around minute 45 of this podcast Jeff says that he’s said “no” to more things than he’s said “y

Today’s guest is James Butler.  I ran into James through a mutual friend and I started looking into what he was about.  I was immediately impressed with his no-bs approach to mindset coaching.  Sometimes mindset coaches can be a little woo-woo for my taste.  James has a knack for boiling down big ideas into smaller manageable morsels.  In fact, that’s one of the topics we hit in today’s episode as we dissect some of his biggest and most powerful ideas he starts new clients out with.  Make sure you listen to his story in the beginning though.  James has been through the ringer and you can tell a lot about a person by where she or he has come from.  Very interesting background.  We talk about reinventing your relationships with some of the most important people in your life, we talk about evaluating the stories you’re telling yourself about your life, your job, your relationships, and trust me, you are telling yourself a story and that story is painting how you look at the world and how you feel during the day.

Relationship Medicine Guru Dr Denny Thompson discusses how to get what you need from relationships, emotional intelligence, and the 12 ways of love.  The Landmark Forum calls relationships "your life".  And truly, without the relationships we have with those around us, what would our lives be?  So what could be more worthwhile than delving into how to nurture the relationships with those most important to you - including yourself!   ~ Dr Chris Frykman If you want to find out your Retionship Code, your Spouses, your children's etc, you can reach out to either Dr Thompson or Dr Haneca or myself.  We'd all be happy to help you uncover hidden stressors that may be destroying your health from your relationships or simply help to connect you to your loved ones in a more deep way.    For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and Dr Denny Thompson as well as some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com/12WaysOfLoveFor more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman

In today’s episode, I have a casual conversation with my good friend Joe Christian.  Joe is a personal trainer, a registered nurse, and an avid cyclist.  In today’s show we discuss his work with bringing cycling to Minneapolis youth as well as his company, MelloVelo Bicycle Tours which brings his love of cycling, comraderie and gourmet food together in various european venues.  I also pick his brain for some good tid bits about working fitness into your life if you’re someone that knows you really should be working out, but there always seems to be some reason it just doesn’t fit into your life.  Joe and I enjoy cycling together and at least half of why are the interesting conversations that inevitably stem from our varied backgrounds in health and wellness and fitness both from a conservative medical model as well as a more holistic alternative paradigm.  Today I share one of those conversations with you.  I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I always do. As always, thanks for listening. Helping You
