In today’s show, Dr. Dave reveals some things he has never before talked about in his search for happiness and change.

Welcome to the David Madow Lifestyle Show formerly Slice Your Age!

Above, Dr Dave shared a photo of himself from about 15 years ago around the time of his divorce. He was about 30 pounds heavier at that point and going through a very difficult time. Now, after making significant changes in his life, he looks and feels so much better. Had he kept going in a situation that he was not supposed to be, who knows if he would be doing as well as he is today.

Although Dr Dave, lives a great life now, this wasn’t always the case. He knew that he had to make changes, and although he was afraid, he did it anyway. Staying in the situation that he was in, would have caused more serious problems in his life. He found the courage to make changes. It was not easy and he went through period where he was depressed and felt alone. Sometimes he would even take prescription anxiety medicine to help deal with his emotions even though he knew that wasn’t the proper way to handle the situation. He also lost a lot financially but knew that there was no other way. When given a choice between wealth and happiness, he felt happiness was his only choice. Even though he knew it was going to be a lot of hard work to get his life in order.

For those of you facing difficult decisions, Dr Dave is here for you. He understands your struggles and hurdles and wants to help you achieve your dreams.

The most important thing in life is happiness (health is a close second). No matter how well you live and how healthy you are, if you are unhappy you will never live a fulfilled life. If there is something in your life that needs to be changed, work on it now! Don’t try to avoid it or forget about it. You can do this, you can get better, and you can live your absolute best life possible!

Listen to what Dr. Dave did the other day that added an incredible amount of happiness to his life!

We sincerely appreciate all donations!

Just a few days ago Dr Dave was out running errands and was at a gas station. As he was sitting in the car waiting for the gas pump to finish, he heard a knock on the window. A woman was standing there and Dr Dave rolled down the window. She was from out of town and was lost, so she stopped to ask for directions. Dr Dave decided to get out of the car to assist her. While he was speaking with her, he realized that she was very anxious and stressed out. She confessed that she thought she was going to have a panic attack so he tried to help calm her down. He put his hand on her shoulder and told her “you are going to be fine, I am going to help you out”. He encouraged her to take a few deep breaths. Just after she did that, she immediately relaxed and her entire demeanor changed. He discovered that she had an iPhone and was very new to operating it. He walked her through making a phone call and while she was doing that he took the address that she was traveling to and entered it into the GPS on his iPhone to discover her destination was only about 10-15 minutes away. When she was done with her phone call, he then entered the address into the GPS on her iPhone. He went on to explain how to use the GPS on her phone and that if she did make a wrong turn the GPS would correct her position and update the directions. By the time he was done, Dr Dave probably spent about 15 minutes with her. She thanked Dr Dave and mentioned that she would say a prayer for him that evening. Her gratitude made him feel so good. He felt wonderful that someone would take time out of their day to think about him. While it is important to maintain your responsibilities, when you can take time out of your day to help others with something in their lives, even something as simple as directions, it is a win-win situation. Not only are you helping someone else, but it makes you feel good as well.

Dr Dave loves to help others and does that by teaching people how to improve their lives! Every time he records a podcast or video, he knows that there is at least one person in the world whose life he is changing. Is that person YOU?

 

In 78 episodes, Dr Dave has discussed eating right, exercising, meditating, relationships, happiness, and much more. When all of these things are combined into your life, something magical happens. If you are happy with yourself, you know you are doing things right! It doesn’t take long to see/feel the effects of stress and poor diet on the body. But it also doesn’t take long to reverse those effects it you stick with it. Don’t give up!

In this episode, Dr. Dave reveals his absolute favorite quickie workout. Do you think you know what it is? Think again!  And much more!

See the original video of today’s message at www.facebook.com/davidmadow.

Dr Dave firmly believes in eating a healthy plant-based diet and is very vocal about those beliefs. Over the past several months, he has received a lot of hateful messages on Facebook. While Dr Dave has very firm beliefs, he also feels that others have the right to their own beliefs and does not judge those who are don’t lead the same lifestyle. He has recently spent a lot of time weeding out those negative people on social media. And since he has had more time to focus on all of the great messages he has received from people who are improving their lives. Simply put, Dr Dave has a passion for helping people change their lives! It is an extremely rewarding feeling to read all of the positive messages from the community and to know that Dr Dave has made a significant impact in the lives others.

This lifestyle DOES work! At almost 60 years old, Dr Dave wakes up each morning feeling fantastic! He is on no medications and is very active. He would like to share his secrets with you!

This is perhaps the best number one workout you can do! Many people can do it, it works out your entire body, and you don’t have to do it for a long time.

Dr Dave strapped a high-quality backpack over his shoulders (in addition to his fastening it around his back and hips). He added 50 pounds of weight to the backpack, which is approximately one third of his body weight. Then he went outside and walked for about 2 miles. Dr Dave routinely talks about the “Magic 4” – how walking four miles each day can greatly improve your physical and mental health. However, if you want to crank your workout up a notch or if you’re short on time, try a walking/hiking with a weighted backpack. If you are just starting on your fitness journey, do not overdo it. Try starting with 5 pounds and add more weight every few days. Make sure that the weight in your backpack is distributed properly.  This workout is phenomenal! It works out your legs, your core (abdomen), shoulders, and your cardiovascular system.

It can be extremely difficult to find time to work out properly. Dr Dave regularly exercises at home and does not have a gym membership. One of his favorite at home exercises is the push up. All you need is a floor (and yourself). Dr Dave recommends sets of 15 to help reduce to possibility of injury but suggests that you do what feels comfortable for you. In addition to those, Dr Dave also currently uses headstands, crunches, and squats to develop strength and stay fit. These are all exercises that you can do at home while you are cooking or doing other things around the house.

It is not difficult to stay in shape if you know what to do! As always, Dr Dave strongly recommends walking as a way to improve the way you look and feel. You will be stronger, thinner, healthier, and hopefully happier as well!

In this episode Dr. Dave comes back to discuss the essential elements of your health and happiness.

Dr Dave is back from vacation. at Slice Your Age our goal is to provide you with the best podcast possible, so after 73 consecutive episodes, Dr Dave felt he needed to take some time off to recharge.

During his three week hiatus, the show has continued to receive thousands of downloads. Thank you so much for being a listener! Dr Dave has heard from so many inspiring listeners from all around the world and genuinely appreciates your time. Dr Dave would love to hear from you! Your success stories are so motivating. Contact Dr Dave on Facebook, LinkedIn, of Google+, or by email at sliceyourage@gmail.com.

For today’s show, Dr Dave is recording from Catskill Animal Sanctuary in Saugerties, NY. Catskill Animal Sanctuary is a beautiful large farm with a small bed & breakfast. Dr Dave & Yoko spent the weekend there and have had the opportunity to spend time with tons of different animals such as horses, goats, pigs, chickens, cows, and sheep. These are animals that have been rescued from a farm, their owners could no longer care for them, or they were found injured. Dr Dave strongly urges that you visit a nearby animal sanctuary.

People at the end of their lives often wonder why they spent so much time chasing money. Money does not make you happy. Money does bring opportunities that can provide happiness such as donating to charitable organizations or starting your own business. But there is a limit to what is really needed. A fews weeks back, Dr Dave published a podcast (Episode 70) that focused on the topic of money. While money is important, there are many people who live on a modest income but are very happy and live comfortably. If you are living below your means and are able maintain your home and provide for your family, you are probably wealthier than you know.  There is nothing wrong with hard work. Dr Dave loves working hard to help others improve their lives! We are together on this!

Dr Dave recently received a call from a professional who no longer enjoys what he is doing in life. He has been very successful but does not enjoy getting up and going to work. It has been a struggle for him.

When you have a feeling in your heart, that you no longer enjoy doing what you are doing, why keep doing it? Of course you must take care of your financial obligations but you should still love what you do every day. Even if it means taking a paycut or reducing your living expenses. It is so rewarding to love what you do!

While in Breckenridge, CO, Dr Dave was able to lose 7-8 lbs. all while indulging on a few vegan treats. He was able to achieve this by skiing and walking instead of driving whenever possible. What does this have to do with happiness? Your health directly contributes to your happiness. It is worth it to feel good and be healthy. Being active is one of the best ways to improve your mood. If you are able to watch what you eat and obtain regular exercise, you will see a huge difference in how you feel.

Dr Dave is looking to speak to someone about coaching them to help improve their lives. This is not something he currently does, but he would like to develop a program to achieve this. If you, or someone you know is looking to make significant changes in their life – lose weight, be healthier be happier – then contact Dr Dave at sliceyourage@gmail.com. He would love to speak with you!

Dr Dave is coming up on his one year anniversary since becoming vegan and it is the best choice he has ever made. He urges you to try it – for 30 days, 60 days, whatever the length of time. You will see a huge difference and will never regret it!

If money was no object and there were no chance of failing, what is something that you would like to do? We asked this question a short time ago and the responses we received got us thinking – Most people have a dream that they do not know how to fulfill. In today’s episode we will help you achieve almost any dream!

Check out one of Dr. Dave & Yoko’s favorite teas at Numi Tea.

So many people want to do different things than what they are currently doing but they are afraid of failure. They may think their dreams are impossible or that they can’t do it. The fact is that most dreams are attainable should we choose to believe in ourselves and pursue our dreams. Chances are you won’t become a quarterback for a professional football team if you are 60 years old and have never played football but you can and should pursue any reasonable goals you may have. If you do not try, you will never achieve your goals. For example, four to five years ago, Yoko could not run a mile but now can finish a full marathon. At the time she thought it would be impossible, but through hard work and perseverance she achieved her goals. If you REALLY want it, the impossible becomes possible.

Whatever your goals, there is a way to achieve them.

First, write down your goal in detail. For example, I will own a juice bar in Breckenridge, CO by Jan 1, 2017. Be specific and realistic with your goal. As you are writing down your goal, next visualize the desired outcome of your goal. What does it look like? Who are the customers?  Focus on the positives of what you want and strive to achieve them.

Often there is an excuse or several excuses for not taking the steps to meet your goals. Reduce the excuses by reviewing your goals and taking actions towards these goals EVERY day. Believe that you CAN do it and eliminate the excuses.

 

“If you truly want to do it, the universe will hand it to you!”

To all of our listeners, if there is something you want to do badly enough, get it done!

In this episode Dr. Dave and Yoko teach you why not being responsible with money will cause stress in your life and ultimately will affect your health and relationships.

What is the silent killer? 

Money! When you have stress over finances, it wreaks havoc over your entire body and can negatively affect relationships. People all over the world are plagued with financial problems.

Why devote an entire health show to money?

Money has the potential to completely mess us your health unless you have your finances in order!

8 Steps to Improving Your Finances

#1: Do not spend more than you make – It will catch up with you sooner or later. If you do not have the cash to pay for something, do not buy it. Always try to better yourself and improve your financial resources but do not go into debt for anything. The only possible exception would be the purchase of a primary home, but only if you can afford it. Only use credit cards if you have the ability to pay them off each month in FULL. The average American is in debt. Learning to live within your means will be instrumental in improving your financial situation.

“Don’t be tempted to keep up with the Jones’!”

#2:  Pay off your debts – Make a list of all the debt that you have, smallest to largest. Start by paying off the smallest debt first. Then move on to paying off the next smallest debt you have and continue on. This process may take several years, but the ultimate goal is to eventually pay off all of your debt. How would it feel if you did not have debt? What could you accomplish?

#3: Create a budget – Figure out the total amount of your net income each month (what you bring home). Then make a list of your regular expenses such as mortgage, auto insurance, gas, food, electric, etc. Determine what/if any is left over. The remaining funds can be allocated to investments and savings.

#4: Have an emergency fund – Life happens! Have a cash emergency fund equivalent to six months of your income. An emergency fund will be useful in the event of situations such as illness or loss of a job. It may take some time to build your emergency fund however it is critical to financial stability.

#5: Set up a retirement plan – Compound interest is your friend! If you start early enough and participate in a 401K or IRA plan, it is possible to have a sizeable nest egg before retirement. However it’s never too late to start! Something is better than nothing.

#6: Find a good financial planner/advisor – Find a good fee-based financial planner to assist with your financial goals.

#7: Have a life insurance policy in place – It is wise to have a term life insurance policy in place long before retirement is considered. This will cover your burial expenses and alleviate some financial responsibility for your loved ones.

#8: Have a will or irrevocable trust in place – Only 30% of US adults have a will. Create one that is comprehensive and regularly update it. It is best to use a professional estate attorney but there are also many online resources that can get you started. Without a will in place, your estate (any property that you own) will be handled by a probate court and they will determine how your assets are allocated. Therefore it is better to have a will so that you have a say in how your assets are distributed.

Our guest Jason Siemer returns with proof that living weird can help us in ways we never thought before. Are you in? Then please do not miss this episode!

Remember, you are never alone! Dr. Dave is here to make sure YOU live your best life possible! If you need anything at all please email Dr. Dave at sliceyourage@gmail.com.

Today’s special guest is Jason Siemer. He was our guest about a year on a segment titled How Being Weird Can Keep You Young. It ended up being one of our most popular episodes. One year later he’s back to talk about how being weird can help you live longer and happier!

Jason is one of the happiest people that Dr. Dave knows. Jason is the type of person that doesn’t follow the norms of society and instead does what he wants to do because it makes him happy.

It is a lifestyle that most people don’t live, in other words, weird. Dr. Dave and Jason like being labeled as weird because it means that they are living outside of the norm. Or, they aren’t doing what everyone else is doing just because everyone else is doing it. What some would think of as weird or abnormal, is normal to others. It all depends upon your own perception of how you live. Everyone has a different perspective in life.

Jason’s Story

Jason is a great example of someone who lives a “weird” life. Jason walked away from past employment opportunities because he knew he wanted to do things differently. He now owns his own successful video production company and plays in a band. Jason says that ultimately it’s about living life on your own terms. If you feel as if your life is not going in the way that you planned, then it’s ok to step out of your comfort zone. It can be scary to do but it’s necessary to make changes in your life in order to achieve happiness.

“It’s about being honest with yourself and with other people so that you can break through barriers to put yourself in a better situation.” – Jason

It’s a proven fact that when you are less stressed you feel healthier and happier. And if you are healthier and happier you will live longer, you will feel better, and your body won’t be as susceptible to disease.

If you accept your current situation as the norm and become complacent about it, chances are you won’t be happy and won’t feel good about yourself. You DO have the power to change your life. Always reflect on yourself and try to determine what you can do to become “better”. What is toxic in your life? What is not working?

Jason’s Relationship Advice

This past summer Jason went through a situation where he felt he needed to make a change in his life. In the past, Jason has been resistant to relationships because it was difficult for him to put himself in a situation where he would be vulnerable to someone else. Over the summer, Jason changed his way of thinking and began a relationship. However Jason found himself in a situation where he was not happy. After 4 months, he made the choice to end the relationship. We tend to ignore the red flags that we see at the beginning of the relationship. It is possible for a person to change but it takes a lot of work. Both parties have to be willing to commit to changing and making the relationship work. Take note of the reasons why your previous partners/relationships were making you unhappy. Make it mandatory that those characteristics not be repeated in any future partners/relationships. You will continue to be unhappy if you carry on the same relationship pattern.

Our Advice

Many people do things in their lives because other people think they should be doing them. Find something for you that makes you happy. Don’t rely on others or other things to make you happy. When you find yourself feeling stressed, put the situation into perspective. You don’t have to let the situations that are outside of your control, dictate your emotions and your happiness.

Do things that you truly love in life! Spend time with people that you enjoy! Surround yourself with people that make you a better person. Learning how to say “No” is a life changer. Don’t put yourself in social situations or relationships in which you do not want to be involved. Know what’s best for yourself and live the life you want to live today.

Challenge

If you ever feel sad, depressed or just plain out of it in the winter months when the days are shorter and it’s cold outside, this episode is for you! Dr. Dave gives you some of his tips to reverse this.

Many people report symptoms of depression or complain of feeling out of sorts during the cold winter months. Some are even diagnosed with a condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.).

Thanks to listener Happy Man from the United Kingdom for today’s great podcast topic!

How do I fight seasonal depression or SAD?

Tip #1: Exercise: When your body is moving you increase the number of endorphins in your body which will help to elevate your mood. Yes! It may be difficult to get up and get moving when it is cold and dreary outside but if you make the effort it will be worth it. If you are planning to exercise outside, be sure to dress for the weather. It is important to wear layers (which can be removed as your body warms) and be sure to cover your head. It is also a good idea to wear some type of reflective clothing so that drivers on the road can easily see you. If exercising outside is not your thing, try using a treadmill at home. It does not need to be the most expensive treadmill. You can find them used for pennies of the dollar on sites such as Craigslist and local online sale groups. You can also purchase a low cost pull up bar for about $10-$15. When pull ups are done correctly they are an amazing way to burn calories and work the muscles. Other exercises such as push ups and crunches are also very effective.

Tip #2: Supplements: Dr. Dave does not recommend taking too many supplements but a daily dose of Vitamin D3 may be helpful to improve your mood. Dr Dave currently takes a dosage of 2000 iu but you will want to read the packaging and make sure that you are taking the correct dosage for you. Dr Dave also takes an Omega DHA supplement (vegan mega DHA supplements use algae instead of fish oil) and a Vegan Multivitamin. Both of the supplements that Dr. Dave takes are made by a company named Deva. Discuss any supplements with your physician before beginning any programs.

Tip #3: Eating: Make an effort to eat a wide range of vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, legumes, grains, etc. The more color on your plate the better off you will be. Limit packaged foods and try to stick with whole foods which are low in (or absent of) sugar, oil, or salt. Be sure to get all the calories you need so that you feel full and energetic throughout the day.

Tip #4: Light therapy: Dr Dave has never used light therapy and does not have a lot of experience with it however it may be beneficial for those suffering from S.A.D. Speak with your physician or research through reputable sources before trying any new therapies.

Tip #5: Do what you love: One of the most effective ways to get through seasonal depression is to love what you do! If you are in a job, or studying something at school, or in a relationship that makes you unhappy then you have to change something. Because if you don’t, things will begin happening in your life. Your stress will increase which may lead to health issues including depression. If you love what you are doing then it doesn’t matter if it’s cold outside or the days are shorter. You will be excited to get up and get going every day! Look into your heart and soul today and decide if you love your life. If not, make some changes and I promise you will begin to feel better.

Thanks again to Happy Man for their question! If you have a question that you would like Dr. Dave to answer, please send them in to www.facebook.com/sliceyourage or to sliceyourage@gmail.com.

In this episode Dr. Dave and Yoko talk about the absolute most important life changing things you MUST be doing to make this year your BEST EVER!
 
THIS IS MY BEST YEAR EVER!
Decide right now that 2015 is going to be your best year ever! Write this down and put it in your wallet or purse. Write and put on your bathroom mirror and your fridge. Write it, Read it, Say it, BELIEVE IT!
 
A YEAR IN REVIEW 2014
Review your 2014. What were your success? What are you grateful for? What was all of the good, great, and wonderful that happened? Did you make goals for 2014? Did you accomplish any of those goals by the year’s end?
 
MOVE MORE IN 2015
You have to move your body daily. You have to move on a regular basis. 4 miles are magic! Get out there and start walking. Walk any pace, inside or out. “Make time for your body and your life!” says Dr. Dave.
 
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TEETH BRUSHING TIME
Do as Dr. Dave’s wife, Yoko, does! She does squats and lunges whenever she is brushing her teeth. You know you need to brush your teeth 2-3 times a day so do double duty!
 
DON’T EAT ANY JUNK!
“Cut the crap out of your diet! Starting Today!” instructs Dr. Dave. You know what the crap is: the cookies, cakes, candies, etc. The junk has no nutritive value and in fact takes good healthy nutrients and energy to just be processed through your body. Cut out all the sugary sweetened items.
 
WHAT DO YOU DRINK?
Drink as much water as you can. Get on the veggie juicing bandwagon. Google for some videos and recipes about vegetable juicing. Get some tea in your life like green tea or chamomile. Think about what you drink.
 
MEDITATION WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Start today! Meditation will help you to relaxed and be more focused. Listen to Dr. Dave walk you through getting started with meditation on this episode. A great book to get you started on meditation is: Meditation for Beginners by Sarah Elliott Price on the Kindle.
 
NATURE IS MEDITATIVE
Getting in touch with nature and the plants is meditation. It is awesome nature therapy. You could be walking or running in snow; or even shoveling it (one of Yoko’s favorite activities in the winter). Get in touch with nature everyday in some way. Stop rushing from house to car to work and back again. Step into nature and feel its awesome power!
 
LOVE THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE
Spend time and MORE time with the people (and animals) in your life that are good, positive, and healthy for you. Stop being around the negative people that are literally draining your life away. It is your life and do not sacrifice your happiness.
 
HAPPINESS COMES FROM YOU
Shine your light and happiness to the world and those that you love. Feel this happiness inside of you. If you need to change something or someone in your life – do it now! Or make a plan of action to do it soon! This is YOUR life and you need to live it in a way that you are happy in who you are with and what you do. Make 2015 your best year ever!
