2w ago00:44:04Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the Rest, Eat, Move podcast, Matt and his Chris dive into the evolution of processed food and why reading ingredient labels matters more than obsessing over calories or macros. Using examples like Wonder Bread, Gatorade, peanut butter, McDonald’s fries, and breakfast cereals, they explain how modern food manufacturing prioritizes shelf life, flavor engineering, and marketing over ingredient quality. The conversation explores topics like artificial additives, dyes, seed oils, “natural flavors,” gut health, lectins, food marketing, and the importance of choosing simpler, minimally processed foods whenever possible. Their core message is straightforward: “less is best” when it comes to ingredients, and consumers can improve their health by becoming more aware of what’s actually in packaged foods.#WellnessPodcast#NutritionPodcast#HealthyLifestyle#GutHealth#CleanEatinghttps://ontargetliving.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooYR_CL_hEh8bu7mIk8Zbn-v7LifXry-bsMi0SnkgS2oYyI4aIL

Through practical tools like breathwork, sleep planning, micro-breaks, movement, magnesium-rich nutrition, and reclaiming personal “space,” the episode emphasizes that recovery is not a luxury but a daily practice.

Apr 2800:40:51Tap to summarizeThis special episode of the Rest Eat Move Podcast, recorded at On Target Living's 2026 Live Seminar in East Lansing, features Chris Johnson sharing a holistic approach to health by emphasizing how to listen to your body instead of simply masking symptoms. Through a personal injury story and practical examples, the speaker breaks down how everyday signals—like digestion, pain, and the “BULLS” framework (bowel, urine, lungs, lymph, skin)—can reveal deeper imbalances. The conversation highlights the importance of gut health, nutrition (especially omega-3s), quality sleep, breathing, and movement, while also challenging common beliefs around cholesterol, statins, and chronic conditions like Type 2 Diabetes. Overall, the episode encourages listeners to know their numbers, ask better questions in healthcare, and shift from reactive treatment to proactive prevention.https://ontargetliving.com#HealthPodcast#WellnessJourney#HolisticHealth#Nutrition#SelfImprovement
Transcribe →309. Mobility Is the Missing Link to Strength
Apr 2100:44:33Tap to summarizeThis episode emphasizes that mobility, flexibility, and balance are foundational to long-term performance, injury prevention, and overall quality of life. Matt and Chris argue that most people lose mobility not due to age but because they stop moving through full ranges of motion, often without realizing it until limitations or pain appear. They highlight simple self-awareness tests—like getting off the floor, hanging, posture against a wall, and balance—as key indicators of functional health. Rather than chasing strength alone, they advocate for daily, intentional movement habits—dynamic warm-ups, restorative exercises, and gradual progressions—to maintain physical independence and avoid the common cycle of injury and decline.#Mobility#HealthAndWellness#FitnessPodcast#Movement#Longevityhttps://ontargetliving.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopI_-ywvl5z6gMxZiAoedbGxJkwot2GmopOXcJZIeaRtRL6164w

Apr 1500:48:48Tap to summarizeThis episode focuses on why food quality—not just calories or macros—is the true foundation of health. Matt and Chris explain how modern diets are often high in calories but low in nutrients due to processing, poor sourcing, and widespread food fraud in products like honey, oils, and supplements. They introduce a simple, sustainable approach: prioritize whole, minimally processed foods, upgrade everyday choices, and focus on where food comes from rather than obsessing over restriction. By improving food quality, you support cellular health, energy, and long-term wellness without overcomplicating nutrition.#HealthPodcast#Nutrition#Wellness#HealthyLifestyle#FoodEducationhttps://ontargetliving.com
