Today, I’m here with Clark Bartram, whose known as “America’s Most Trusted Fitness Professional.” As an elite master trainer, he has helped people become more physically fit while also tending to their emotional and spiritual sides.
We mostly talk about mindset, which he and I agree is the most important factor for health, but we also cover things like the minimum effective dose for fitness, what he tracks and what he doesn’t track, and his simple tools for knowing how much and what to eat. Then we discuss why fad diets don’t work, how to make sustainable shifts, and his five lifestyle principles for health.
We go in many different directions, and it’s a very wide-ranging and fun conversation. I think you will enjoy it as much as I did. So let’s join Clark.

This podcast is brought to you by Sunday for Dogs… a new staple in our house that the newest family members could tell you the most about if they could talk. Lollipop and Hemingway, our two family dogs, are loving this food and get so excited when it’s time to eat now! When we got them, I knew I didn’t want to feed them overly processed kibble and homemade options were a lot of work! And Sunday has been my solution. It’s the first (and only) human-grade, air-dried dog food. Combining the nutrition and taste of all-natural, human-grade foods, with the ease of a zero-prep, ready-to-eat formula, Sundays is the best way to feed your best friend. Sundays is easier for dog parents to manage than refrigerated human-grade dog food brands. No fridge, prep, or clean-up. Unlike most human-grade dog foods, Sundays is gently air-dried and ready-to-eat, versus those other brands that are cooked and frozen instead. It’s as simple as scoop into their bowl and watch your pup devour it. In a blind taste test, Sundays outperformed leading competitors 40-0. No artificial binders, synthetic additives, or general garbage — seriously, look at the label. All of Sundays’ ingredients are easy to pronounce (okay, except quinoa), and healthy for dogs to eat.

This podcast is brought to you by OLIPOP– a new kind of soda that is actually good for you (and tastes amazing). I’d given up on sodas a long time ago until I found Olipop… It tastes just like the sodas I grew up with, but unlike other sodas that are full of sugar, corn syrup, and artificial ingredients like aspartame, Olipop is made with natural ingredients that are actually good for you. And this is why Olipop is the fastest growing functional beverage brand in America. They have delicious nostalgic flavors like Vintage Cola, Classic Root Beer, Orange Squeeze, Cherry Vanilla, Strawberry Vanilla and their newest flavor Classic Grape. My personal favorite is strawberry vanilla and my kids love the root beer. They use functional ingredients that combine the benefits of prebiotics, plant fiber and botanicals to support your microbiome and benefit digestive health. And they have less than a tenth of the sugar of regular soda, all from natural gut-friendly sources. They are so confident that you will LOVE their products that they offer a 100% money back guarantee for orders placed through their website. I’ve worked out a special deal just for you. Receive 15% off your purchase. I recommend trying their variety pack. This is a great way to try all of their delicious flavors. Go to DRINKOLIPOP.com/wellnessmama or use code WELLNESSMAMA at checkout to claim this deal. OLIPOP can also be found in over 5,000 stores across the country, including Kroger, Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Wegmans.
