Get Healthy

This is the last episode of Get Healthy...maybe, most likely, but I want to thank everyone that listened to me interview people. I have another podcast called Johnny Explains it's a much less serious podcast made for entertainment.

Last week I started to interview people again for this podcast. Health log, mentally still working on it, physically still working on it, and emotionally still working on it. My first guest from my long sabbatical is my friend Edgar aka "Smiley". He's an ex amateur boxer who talks about his journey into almost going pro. There are a lot of people that he met in his boxing career right before it was cut short due to a work related injury. Smiley brings up the power of acupuncture in his life. Thank you all for continuing to listen to me and my guest. I love you and very much appreciate you. Enjoy, please like, share, subscribe, and leave a comment.

Carlos Loma and Jose V talk to me about their relationship status and what it means to be in a healthy relationship. Carlos Loma and Jose V are the host and co-host of the Carlos Loma Chronicles.

Steve Simeone sits down to talk to me about his life growing up, religion, and just being a nice guy on this planet that is filled with so many people that have somewhat forgotten what it means to be nice. We talk about physical health and him sparring in jiu-jitsu and his spiritual health as a follower of Catholicism. This has been a busy week full of a lot of unexpected surprises, pleasant, but unexpected. Life  is like that sometimes. A routine is perfect for living a healthy productive life, but a new routine must be created in life in order to grow when the results of the old routine pay off. I'm still practicing this routine, but I will release a new episode on Tuesday. Goals. Thank you all for continuing to listen to me and my guest. I love you and very much appreciate you.

Joel Jimenez (@mostlysorry) comes to talk about his life growing up in Frog Town, a section of Los Angeles that has been classified as gentrified. He lived there when it wasn't gentrified though so we shared stories of being Mexican American in a crazy city. Joel also grew up with panic attacks. He was lucky to be diagnosed when he was younger. He is a comedian and a drummer in the band on the Kill Tony Podcast and is on tour. I talk about how I have been lacking in my workouts for the past 2 weeks, I want to meditate longer, like really long, like 30 or 45 minutes long, and I also give signs of panic attacks.

Aurelio Miguel Bocanegra, host of The Good The Bad and The Funny podcast as well as a very talented comedian and PERSONAL TRAINER! He gave me a health assessment years back saying I was 33% body fat. Now we are at different places in our lives and we talk about how it is to mature. The main reason for his growth he attributes to him not drinking any longer. I advocate for people to stop drinking because drinking is really bad for your health. I am currently resting, light workouts really, and figuring out what the next step is going to be in order to continue my health journey. Enjoy, please like, share, subscribe, and leave a comment.

I finally feel like I am making a strides in keeping a work out schedule going after a few weeks of being off course. Thankfully my meditation habits and therapy sessions are back to normal as well. This feels like a lot of commitment at times, but I realize it's just a feeling. I am much happier working harder to keep these commitments then I am not having them in my life. One of my favorite quotes I read in "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelios*, Book V, 1 is "In the morning when thou risest unwillingly, let this thought be present - I am rising to the work of a human being. Why then am I dissatisfied if I am going to do the things for which I exist and for which I was brought into the world? Or have I been made for this, to lie in the bedclothes and keep myself warm?".

This week I interview Justin Hoff, very funny guy that uses psilocybin in small doses to regulate his life. We talk about the change that he experience in the past few months as well as how life was like as he was entering adulthood after losing his father. This was a very intense conversation about healing with psilocybin. Thank you to everyone that has subscribed and keeps sharing with people looking to Get Healthy.

This week I had to Get Healthy because I was fighting a cold. All day Wednesday I stayed in bed. The next two days like any time after being sick I played catch up. This took me out of a lot of my physically, mental, and spiritual practices, like all of them. Once I got better, I started to get right back into them. I also go over an article titled "8 Ways to Discover Your Spiritual Side" by Jude Temple a contributor at HuffPost. My guest is Atif Myers, comedian, writer, and all around good guy. Atif talks to me about growing up in Saudi Arabia, the school yard fights, and the transition from the United States to the Middle East. We also talk about hypnotherapy, social media health, and a lot of things to make us laugh.

This week I went to a gym in the Bay area, near Pleasanton, CA where I performed at Tommy T's opening for Felipe Esparza. This was a mega gym full of new equipment to me and two full size basketball courts, four tennis courts, and a pool. It was a busy week full of attempts to get a workout in and at least a daily meditation session. I was able to sit and interview Casey Mauro. Casey brings a lot of information about nutrition to the table, pun intended, we go over energy and what it is like to be a dancer since the age of 3. Enjoy this conversation, please like, share, subscribe, and leave a comment.

This week I went to Chumash Casino and had an amazing time. This casino had the best food with a great pool to swim in before opening for Felipe Esparza who sold out the entire show. Next week I will be in Arizona with Felipe Esparza at Stand-up Live December 27th - 31st. I really appreciate Jessi Almanzar for reaching out, straight out of El Paso keeping it strong. My guest is Gabriel Ibarra, or coach_gunnergabe on IG, he coaches and trains out of Echo Park Boxing of Sunset in Echo Park.  Last week my physical health was interrupted with food poisoning,  spiritually I'm trying to meditate more and have more faith, and my mental health has been difficult to keep up with because I missed by therapy session due to said sickness and other events, but I am planning on rereading the 4 Agreements a book that I  recommend to everyone. Thank you for listening and remember to subscribe and share with anyone that wants to Get Healthy.
