Welcome to the Learn True Health podcast. I'm your host, Ashley James. This is Episode 520. I am so excited for today's guest. We have Jeremy Slate on the show. Him and I have become friends through the years. He has a company called Command your Brand. Before he got into helping people  me and other holistic health practitioners to market themselves, he was a competitive powerlifter and at some point pulled a tank. We're going to talk about that. We're going to have some fun today talking about different concepts, but I think it's really important that we definitely discuss how to support holistic health practitioners and anyone in the holistic health space, because in the last few years, they have been under attack. 

 

Now I don't know if you have gotten your tinfoil near you, but I'd like you to go ahead and fold your little tinfoil hat with me, because I know I always sound like a conspiracy theorist when I say this. But when you look deeper, you see that Google has delisted major health websites. 

 

Dr. Mercola, do you remember him completely disappeared. He's still there, but Google just will not let you find him,  he used to be the number one search for many years. He's an amazing database of health information and so many other holistic doctors in the last four or five years have been delisted and what has replaced it is mainstream media, pharmaceutical based medicine but the people  you who are listening to the show you want to figure out how to get so healthy that your body doesn't need drugs, . 

 

You want to get so healthy that you live to be 99 plus years old in the prime of your health even then, and I'm friends with people in their 80s who still downhill ski and run marathons and it's possible and you can do it. Jeremy Slate's going to be one of those people as well. Jeremy, it's so good to have you on the show. 

 

Jeremy Slate (0:02:50 .700)

Hey, absolutely. Thank you so much for having me and it's funny you talk about people in their 80s downhill skiing. You should see my six year old hit double black diamonds. She is incredible. 

 

Ashley James (0:03:02 .106)

That's so awesome. I love the idea that throughout life, no matter how old we are, we want to be able to just do whatever we want. You want to go skiing? Great. You want to go swim, you want to go bike, you want to go run a marathon. Part of health is not having limitations, not being limited, and  wherever you are in your health journey, get up and start moving. I actually started 75 Hard. Have you heard of that, Jeremy? 

 

Jeremy Slate (0:03:30 .512)

My cousin just did that not long ago. He lost  50 something pounds. I'm really proud of him. 

 

Ashley James (0:03:34 .048)

Yes. People do lose weight and gain muscle, but that's not why I'm doing it. I'm doing it for the mental toughness which is the whole purpose of it. It's two 45-minute workouts a day, no matter what, and then there's a bunch of other rules and what's really interesting is do  that voice that that says, oh, I don't know, I'm too tired or I'm too busy, and that goes out the window because it becomes your priority, no matter what, to schedule two 45-minute workouts, no matter what you got going on and it's been wild. I feel amazing. I feel absolutely amazing. My husband joined me in doing it and I can tell you that the freedom you get mentally when you commit to building your health and taking your health to the next level is so worth it. There's this personal, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual growth that comes from putting your health first. 

 

Jeremy, at some point in your life you put your health first, you're a competitive powerlifter and you pulled a tank. Tell us some stories that came from that time in your life. 

 

Jeremy Slate (0:04:44 .871)

Well, I think it's important to understand how I got there . So I was a wrestler in school and I'm not a big guy. I'm 5'7 on a good day, usually probably 5'6 more realistically and I wrestled 119 until by the time I graduated I wrestled 140. But to keep a growing high school kid at that weight, what I was doing was not healthy. I was eating large quantities of food and then throwing up that food to stay on weight. 

 

So I was not taking good care of myself. So by the time I graduated the thing I really wanted to do was take better care of myself. So I actually got into lifting because I want to take better care of myself. So eating better, working out better, and the thing I found was I'm more of an ecto mesomorph, so I'm actually really predisposed to build muscle but stay lean. So I found out, the more I did, the better I ate, the more muscle I gained. And by the time I was  20, 22, somewhere around 21, 22, I was 215 at  8% body fat. So I was a house. 

 

It made going to theme parks really rough because, number one, I got really angry if I couldn't bring my little cooler to every place and number two, I had to wear Under Armour
