About the Episode
LifeBlood BE WELL: We talked about having good health for life, how to think about and approach life’s adversities, how to reframe how we think about and interact with food, and some practical tips for eating healthier.
We discussed the many adversities Meghann had to overcome and how they shaped her perspective, how the vast majority of Americans suffer from some kind of metabolic condition, and why it’s imperative to think about making major changes as short term pain to get long term happiness.
We talked about how beating addiction is very similar to going through the stages of grief, how if you feel you can’t afford to eat healthy you can’t afford to not, how to begin shifting your perspective on food, whether you’re an abstainer or a moderator, and some tips for mindful eating.
We discussed making a shift to asking yourself “if this food helping or hurting me” and how those small shifts can make huge differences with Meghann Hempel, recovering fitness and food addict, a TBI survivor, mother, health and lifestyle coach, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified firefighter, advanced EMT and Primal Health Coach.
Listen to learn why you need to start chasing health instead of thinking about diet and exercise as something that has to be done because health becomes more elusive with every year!

Family Finances: Teaching Your Kids to Give
As humans, we’re exceptional at making things harder than they need to be. For example, this post could probably be a lot shorter than it’s going to be. I could say “teaching your kids to give is a good thing” and you’d probably agree. In the spirit of brevity,...

The tagline for the iconic action figure brand G.I. Joe was “Knowing is half the battle.” While “knowing” may not actually be 50% of what you need to successfully manage your money, it’s a big part of it. On a scale of 1 to 100, how well do you know your family...
Family Finances: Teaching Kids About Maximizing Income
A recipe for a happy life is this; earn as much as you can, save as much as you can, and give as much as you can. Over the course of a 40 to 50 year career, it makes sense to try and earn as much as possible. In a perfect world, you’d get started as early as...

Family Finances: Teaching Kids About Budgeting
Why do so many Americans struggle financially (two thirds of us are living paycheck-to-paycheck)? Is it because we don’t keep a personal budget? Maybe. Is it because we don’t understand the principles behind budgeting? Probably. While budgeting may not be...
Family Finances: Teaching Your Kids About Credit
Good credit is better than bad credit, that’s a fundamental truth. Like it or not, our credit and credit score impacts so many aspects of our lives. Good credit allows us to pay less for cars, homes and insurances, and bad credit can keep us from getting the job we...
