Whether it’s New Year resolutions or just a decision you make to take better care of yourself, the most difficult part is execution. Have you ever wondered why most of us have such negative attitude toward self-care?
My today’s guest is Michael Rizk. At the core of his existence, Michael is a game-changer. He’s been serving the health, fitness and wellness industries since 2000. Michael background is in personal training, soft tissue therapy, chain reaction biomechanics, change management and he’s a teacher at heart.
Michael’s passion comes alive when he’s helping people get from “here to there”. Whatever roadblock: mental, emotional, physical or spiritual, he operates in the best interests of his clients, helping them overcome their perceived obstacles.
In 2010, Michael discovered that while people were coming to him to enhance their Body, it was their Mind holding them back and their Spirit that was suffering. Since then, he’s developed a Mind-First Approach®, in which he works through the Mind to uplift the Spirit and transform the Body.
This inside-out, revolutionary approach has inserted joy, contentment and fulfillment back into the process of self-care. He’s come to realize that when you build happiness into one’s life, their health follows.
By the end of this episode, you’ll enjoy Michael’s philosophy and perhaps will rethink your own approach to self-care.

In 1987, the company made it their mission to provide plant lovers with exceptional organic botanicals harvested with the utmost respect for the places they grow and the people who grow them. Since then, Mountain Rose Herbs has never ceased reimagining what good business can accomplish or working to turn their dreams into reality.
Recently I had a privilege of interviewing the company’s COO Jennifer Gerrity. During our conversation Jennifer highlighted three important areas in company’s everyday efforts:
- their commitment to quality (through buying certified organic or pesticide-free plants that have been sustainably harvested),
- their motivation to source responsibly from the best farmers and wild-harvesters, creating partnerships that last for decades and nurture the communities of growers and herbalists, and
- their ability to offer an incredible variety of products from herbs and spices to culinary oils, bath and body care products, essential oils and so much more.
Long ago I learned the importance of voting with my wallet, supporting companies and individuals doing an amazing work. I hope my conversation with Jennifer will inspire you to wholeheartedly support this company. Click to learn more about Mountain Rose Herbs.
