Welcome To Your Body - By Kenzai

We all have our reasons for getting (and staying) in shape. In this episode, Patrick shares four big-picture motivators that'll help you reevaluate your own wellness priorities.

Brushing and flossing everyday doesn't guarantee you'll have perfect teeth. Being mindful of how (and when) you care for your teeth can make all the difference. In this episode, Patrick outlines some strategies for perfecting your oral hygiene habits.

Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and the Rock popularized the 'cheat day' by sharing social media images of calorie-laden meals and gut-busting treats. This on-again-off-again policy of dieting leaves a lot to be desired. Here at Kenzai we believe that you're only cheating yourself when you take a cheat day. In this episode, Patrick explains why.

As we age, our brains become less supple. We are less nimble in our thinking, and we have a harder time learning new material. But with a healthy diet and regular exercise, we can slow our inevitable decline. In this episode, Patrick outlines ways to improve our brain fitness!

Much of our physiological makeup is predetermined by genetics. But all too often, we fight against our own physiques in the pursuit of an athletic ideal. In this episode, Patrick discusses how to maximize your own genetic potential - whatever that may be.

While we may not look it, our bodies share a lot in common with the mammals that populate our world. We all evolved to accommodate gradual physiological changes. And while our bodies are capable of doing some amazing things, we're also prone to a number of injuries, maladies and system failures.

While we often equate the two, mental and physical well-being are NOT one and the same. Perfect health does not always mean perfect happiness. Many of us don't have enough time in our days to be perfect anyway. In this episode, Patrick discusses how achieving a base-level of fitness can make it easier for us to do the things that DO make us happy.

Contrary to what marketers will tell you, there is no juice, charcoal tab or dietary regiment that can outperform your liver. When it comes to processing wastes, it really is the best tool for the job. So what's the deal with all of these detox diets?

When launching a new fitness endeavor, many of us covet chiseled abs, bulging biceps, and muscled legs (and buns). But we sometimes forget that our faces--the parts of our bodies that are most visible to the outside world--are also prone to storing fat. In this episode, Patrick tells us why fitness is so important for our faces!

For many of us, food is a focal point of our lives. It is a source of happiness and health - and a means of building family and community. But for some, food is an afterthought. These 'indifferent eaters' may baffle the rest of us, but there's actually more to their story than you might think.
