ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION:
Gavin Silverman is a health coach. In his Instagram bio, he states, "Challenge and disrupt the mainstream paradigm. Break free from conventional wisdom and step out of your comfort zone."
In this conversation, we share personal stories, reflecting on names, ancestry, and how powerful first impressions can be.
We talk about social media, the idea of the "Maverick Coach," and the struggles of living with eczema while highlighting the healing power of sunlight and regular exercise. We touch on how natural light boosts the immune system, the role of diet in gut health and inflammation, and the benefits of fasting.
There’s a great discussion on the difference between a coach and a personal trainer and why understanding movement patterns and body mechanics is key. Gavin shares their experiences with different training methods and emphasises the need to take a holistic approach to health—especially with the impact of COVID on businesses, fitness, and mental well-being.
We also dive into what it means to be strong role models, especially as men, and how important it is to lead by example. We talk about self-improvement, building community, and the power of personal choice. Being present for our kids, taking time to self-evaluate, and knowing when to ask for help are big themes here. The conversation hits home on the growth potential for individuals and communities.
Towards the end, we talk about food, health, and taking responsibility for our own lives. The key points are knowing where your food comes from, the simple joy of cooking over a fire, and how crucial it is to eat well, move, and get proper sleep. We also reflect on how relying on politicians won't change our lives—we must take that responsibility ourselves. It’s a powerful reminder that perception and personal accountability are vital to becoming a true thought leader.
I hope you enjoy the episode.
Much love
