Your Health Is Your Legacy — Travin & Britni Gray on Living Elite Every Day
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with Travin Gray and Britni Gray of REVV Health for a powerful conversation about what it really means to pursue elite health. This isn’t about shortcuts, hype, or chasing quick fixes. It’s about making the daily choices that allow YOU to sleep better, perform better, think clearer, and ultimately live longer. Ben opens up about the health battles in his own family and why he made a decision to stop waiting for problems to appear before taking action. Together, they unpack the truth about hormones, blood work, preventative care, and why real health is built through discipline, not convenience.
Britni and Travin also share the personal struggles that shaped their mission. From being dismissed by doctors and fighting through serious health issues of their own, they explain why REVV Health was built to be different—more thorough, more personal, and more committed to doing things the right way in an industry that often moves too fast. They talk about the importance of being your own advocate, the danger of cutting corners, and how optimizing your health can change not just your energy and performance, but your marriage, your family, your confidence, and your future. This episode is a reminder that elite performance starts with elite health—and if you keep putting your health off until later, later may come too late.

The Burn And Choosing Elite
SPEAKER_02Welcome back to another episode of The Burn. I am Ben Newman, and you know how we do this every single week. We're gonna bring you a story of an athlete, an entertainer, a celebrity, somebody from the business world who helps us understand that why and purpose is not enough. It's the underlying burn that ignites your why and purpose and then causes you to show up on the days you don't feel like it, and especially after you win. And then sometimes we have the opportunity to bring on two guests at the same time. And before I bring our guests on, I want to explain a little reason why I intentionally wore my elite sweatshirt today. So these are sweatshirts that go to our standard elite mastermind members, but I specifically, so you can think about this word elite throughout this entire conversation. The reason why I did this is because every single one of you has an opportunity to get inside of the details of what will make you great. Every single one of you has an opportunity to choose to be elite in everything that you do. The difference of the levels of performance that you achieve in your life will be based upon the decisions and choices that you make. I have made a very clear decision in terms of my choice to want to stay young, to want to stay healthy, to want to be around for my kids longer, to want to be an example of discipline for those that we have the opportunity and blessing to lead with our team. I've made a choice to pay great attention to the details of health. My father was a drug addict, alcoholic, manic depressive, bipolar, everything under the sun. My dad had quadruple bypass at 53 years old as a result of the way that he chose to live his life. My mother, not by choice, left this world far too soon at 38 years old because of a rare muscle disease. So health hasn't exactly been on my side. So that's when I had to make a decision to be very careful with the decisions and choices I made regarding my health. So I turned to Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, who's had a profound impact on my life to help me be more disciplined and more focused and doing the things I routinely need to do, paying attention, going to see heart doctors before I have a heart problem, doing the little things that most don't. Today's episode, we want you to get inside those details. And you're going to hear it from an amazing story of two individuals doing things for the right way in an industry where there's a lot of things that are done wrong. Regarding hormone therapy, there have been periods of time in my life when levels have been off. It's important to perform that your levels need to be right in order to sleep right, in order to do things, getting routine blood work done. I turn to Britney Gray and Traven Gray from Rev Health to make sure that the full opportunity for me to become elite with my health is taken care of through their care, their guidance, their expertise because of the burn that they've showed up with to do things the right way in an industry that's moving very, very fast. And I want them to speak to it, where you have to be careful about the decisions that you make. Because all of us can try to cut corners and we can try to go fast, or you can go slow and be disciplined. I don't say this to impress anybody. Today is the 2,452nd straight day that I've done my unrequired workout. Many of you have done it with me. So that is long obedience in the same direction with aggressive patients. You don't get to great health overnight. You get to great health by putting in the work. You get to great health by making great decisions. You get to great health by partnering with the right people. Not somebody who's mixing peptides in their kitchen, but experts who are looking at your blood work, making appropriate evaluations, and helping you understand the decisions and choices that are going to help you live a long life. The vein is popping. You guys can already tell this is important to me. It's a blessing that these two individuals have become friends on my journey of health. And I am so excited to welcome Britney and Traven to the burn. Welcome the two of you.
SPEAKER_01Thanks, Ben. It's great to be here, man. There were so many great things that you said there in that intro that I kind of want to pick up on. But um, yeah, first of all, just thanks for having us. And, you know, it's really great to have someone like you, even as an example, because when we talk to people about health and longevity, and you know, there's so much focus in social media around entrepreneurship and you know, high earners and high performers. And, you know, sometimes in the past, things like health and and fitness have been neglected. But like someone like yourself that's performing high on all levels, it's like that's the perfect example of what we look to and kind of like when we talk to patients about what it's like to age healthy and really focus on longevity while high performing in all areas of your life.
SPEAKER_02Well, that that's why I look forward to diving in. Brittany?
SPEAKER_00I was just gonna say, like, piggybacking off of that, it was really hard for us at an early age where both of us were having health issues and we were going to doctor after doctor and not getting any answers whatsoever. And it was like we were getting the same treatment everywhere we went. So that was kind of where the two of us were like, how could we develop something where people have advocates, they have coaches helping them, like diving into their blood work, their lifestyle, making those changes that are not something that you just like pop a pill and get results overnight? It's it's consciously making those decisions to be disciplined. And basically it's a it's a lifestyle change that you have to make for yourself.
Britney’s Crash And Advocacy
SPEAKER_02And and and I think that's the key. It's it's the lifestyle change. And if we could, and Britney, we can start with you. You know, what was it for you where your burn was established to really do things the right way and to really attack your health journey? What gives you that fire and burn in an industry where it is moving really fast? And sometimes choosing the the way that the two of you do, which I admire, to slow down and do it the right way, may actually cause growth to be a little bit slower, but you want the right people and the right patients through the right care. Where did that burn come from for you? What was the experience?
SPEAKER_00For me, at a very young age, I started working out and almost like an addiction. Like sometimes going to the gym twice a day. I was always very active, eating healthy. But at the age of 23, I got breast implants and I didn't really understand the consequences of that at the time. So quickly, within like the first year, I had so much inflammation that by the time I was early 30s after having four children, my body was literally crashing. I couldn't get out of bed. I was allergic to every food under the sun, hardly could eat anything. Um, heart palpitations, hormones were gone, uh, minerals and vitamins deficient, and I was searching doctor after doctor, couldn't find anybody to help me. So at that point I had to be my own advocate for my health. Um, I ended up finding a naturopathic doctor here in Spokane that helped me with like Lyme disease. But it wasn't until taking my breast implants out, which every doctor told me I was crazy at that point, because this was about eight years ago. Um, so taking out my breast implants, taking my life back into my hands instead of trusting the doctors that I had been taught are there to help me and guide me along the way. Um, I specifically had one doctor at one point tell me that there's a thing they call the crazy woman syndrome. And he basically said I was just crazy and all of my symptoms and stuff were being made up. Um so yeah, taking out my breast implants. That was one part of it, and then I had to detox and go through that. But it wasn't until at the very end looking at my hormones, and it was like, okay, I still like I've detoxed, my Lyme disease is gone, my inflammation is down, but I'm still struggling. I can't get out of bed. I can't function as a mom. Like I can't go and do my workouts like I normally do. Um, and that was where we saw the need and the struggle of even trying to get your hormones addressed and what an importance it is in day-to-day life.
Sponsor Message Q Logics
Individual Care Over Quick Fixes
SPEAKER_02This episode of The Burn is brought to you by our dear friends and partners at Q Logics. Now, you know I don't co-sign things I don't believe in. And I believe in John Chiarando and the team at Q Logics. He's built multiple nine-figure businesses, real integrity, real character, the kind of guy you want in your corner. But here's what happened: all that expertise, all that knowledge, it was just his. Locked in his head, his decisions, his team, you couldn't access it. So John created Q Logics. He basically said, How do I make everything I've built available to people who actually need it? Here's what that looks like. Q Logics helps you see the blind spots in your business, the gaps you don't even know you have. You don't know what you don't know. They're your tour guide through that. Q-Logics helps you build systems that make your business work better or they ask better questions so you're approaching it in the most effective way. And Q Logic has access to a network of businesses and resources, real connections, real synergies that can accelerate what you're building.

Make sure you find out more about Q Logics and your opportunity to win more with them today. Let me ask you, let me ask you a follow-up question here because it's interesting. I I really uh reached out to the two of you because I really admired it was the consistency, uh, because there's other organizations that I've partnered with in the past, but I found my home and partnering with all of you because of the detail of the care and because of the big hearts that you show up with. But a lot of it was staying connected literally through social media, seeing the consistency of video after video, which I know as a husband and wife will tease about that later. It's got to be tough to work together, but the energy and the passion, the emotion that you guys both show for your work is so powerful and pure. And I would just watch all the time. And then now to hear your story, that education piece is so important. I can't imagine what that feels like for a doctor to almost dismiss or to try to, you know, place you in a bucket of, well, this is just X, as opposed to really finding out like, who are you and what's important to you and you as an individual. Is that where the individual care comes from and the focus on individual care for Rev Health with your patients?
SPEAKER_00Absolutely. Like I always tell our patients, like, we are that advocate for you. I don't ever want somebody that comes to us looking for answers and you know, looking for symptom relief to feel like they're all alone or that we're treating them like they're crazy and something, you know, the things that we see day to day with like fatigue, brain fog, you know, lack of libido, all of that kind of stuff. We see it every day from people as young as 19. You know, we have patients in their 80s. So that is kind of, I would say, even for me, more of like the focus of I want to be that person for everybody coming to us that I didn't have during that time. And I wish I did.
SPEAKER_02Let me come over to you and I I want to focus on something to set the table here appropriately. And this is really an example for both of you in terms of you taking care of yourselves. You know, there's so many organizations where, you know, people have a product that they sell and they say they believe in it, but you kind of look at how they live their lives, and you're like, well, I'm questioning whether or not you actually believe in what you're doing. And we take a look at Britney and her example, it's like you can see how much she believes by how healthy you guys are. And I'm not just talking about the gym picks, the wedding picks from recently, right? I mean, you guys both look and people can see that you are also leaders. And I always say you can only lead somebody to the level of discipline in which you live. And it's one of the things that I think is so powerful for you is that you are putting the work in in the gym. But it's not just the gym and taking care of you. Conversations you and I have had, the amount of time you spend researching and making sure things are done the right way. What's the story for you? Why did you decide to turn to discipline and to research and to doing things the right way in an industry like this?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I appreciate you saying that. I mean, that's huge to me. And it's I think a lot of it comes down to, you know, this space is so saturated. You know, when you get on social media and you have, you know, the fitness, health, and wellness, hormones, peptides, all of that stuff. And it's just like so many people trying to sell things, and there's so much misinformation and wrong information spread around. And so my big thing has always been education. And we come from a place of evidence-based protocols and practice. So, like you said, we're constantly going through trainings, we're constantly researching just to try to educate people, not necessarily sell people on anything, but just you know, here's what we've learned, here's what we personally do, and you know, trying to teach those theories, I think, is important to me. And, you know, let's take something like peptides, for example, because you see those everywhere on social media now, and everyone wants them. And so, you know, we turn people down for peptides probably daily, honestly, just because of it not being the right thing for that person. And so, in a space where everyone's got affiliate codes and trying to sell peptides and everything, we will get people to call and they say, Oh, I want you know, XYZ peptide. And then we ask, Well, why do you even want that, or what's the purpose of you doing that? And they have no idea. They just saw an influencer promoting it, and so they think they want it. And I mean, literally, we probably field half a dozen calls or requests daily for that kind of stuff that we turn people away simply because look, this isn't something that is right for you or that's going to work for you necessarily. And so, you know, our big thing is, you know, your lifestyle, make sure your, you know, exercise is on point, make sure your nutrition's dialed in, and then make sure your hormones are optimized. And then once you put all those three things together, then you can kind of start putting the finishing touches on, experimenting with different types of things for specific uses. But making sure that you've got those three big levers pulled, first of all, is going to make the biggest impact.
SPEAKER_02So, what was the life experience for you? Because I mean, just in that answer, that's what I referenced in the beginning, that finding your edge in the details. You don't become elite without great hard work, paying attention to the details, making great choices. Where did the passion for this business come from for you?
SPEAKER_01So, you know, similar to what Brit had said, I had I had always been healthy, worked out, active my whole life. And then when I was 30, I'd got diagnosed with a thyroid disease called Hashimoto's, and it debilitated me for five, six years because it was just, you know, when you when you have something like that, you experience massive fatigue, and it's hard to have motivation to do things, and you're so tired throughout the day. And it was just literally bouncing around from doctor to doctor to doctor, not getting any answers, feeling worse the whole time, just getting thrown medications. And so it's just it comes back to just okay, this shouldn't be that difficult for people. Like people should have a place to go to, like specifically when it comes to hormones, that you can get the right answers, someone's going to take the time, someone that's well educated in them, because most of these things go well beyond what your primary care doctor has been taught or learned. And so, you know, sometimes it takes going outside of that, you know, insurance-based healthcare model and really seeking out professionals that understand these things.
Small Steps That Build Discipline
SPEAKER_02Brittany, I'd love to uh I'd I'd love to ask you, because I think it's a it's a common thing that that people may not understand when it comes to really paying attention to the details of your health. I feel, at least for me, that uh how healthy you guys keep me with with Dr. Lyon. Like, I feel like I'm adding years to my life. I feel like I, from the decisions I'm making, I'm going to avoid bypass at 53. I mean, I'm I'm 47 years old. You know, no knock to my father. He didn't have the discipline to get into the gym. He had discipline to do a lot of wrong things. But I mean, my father was never in the shape that I'm in. Heck, I'm probably in better shape now than I've ever been in in my entire life from the way I trained. So I feel like I'm adding years to my life. If somebody is struggling with discipline, if somebody's struggling with the wrong disciplines, and sometimes people forget, like, bad habits is a discipline, great habits is a discipline, taking care of yourself as a discipline, thinking about living a longer life. Where does somebody start? And we're gonna make it just real quick for everybody listening. We are gonna make it so easy to get in touch, to get your questions answered from RevHealth. We're gonna have all kinds of links and push to social media and make sure that you spend time and have a conversation. But when you think about an opportunity through your choices to live longer, like it, I mean, isn't that what we're doing with this type of really just fine detail to the discipline and care that you guys share with me and give me the opportunity to live this way?
SPEAKER_00It it seems like it would be so simple, Ben, but I can't tell you how many times I'm talking to people and even just making the simple changes, whether it's like diet or exercise, is really hard for people. They get so stuck in these areas that they they can't even fathom prioritizing their time to make that happen. So I always tell, especially our ladies, because the ladies, you know, they always are like, Well, I'm taking care of the kids, I'm taking care of the house, I'm taking care of my husband, I'm I'm working, you know. So it's like just taking out a little bit of time for yourself somewhere in the day, even if it's just 10 minutes to do something, to go on a walk, that's a start. But also with your diet, like you really you have control over your diet. So that's something that I'm always telling women like prioritize your your protein intake. If you're eating enough protein, you're not going to be starving. So that's that's easy to do. Um, when it comes to even just like your hormones, the first step is blood work. You know, it's like go get your blood work done. Go sit down with a specialist and go over things. With Lisa, it's amazing. Uh every time I talk to women after they have their consultation with their blood work, they always say, that was the most thorough consultation I've ever gone through in my life. She explained things to me. She told me I have PCOS. I've never heard I had PCOS. No doctor ever told me that. Well, it's like two out of three women have PCOS. So we're dealing with insulin resistance like we've never seen before. So we'll have people come in that are even like on the contrary, they're doing everything right. They're exercising, they're working out healthy, and they're not losing weight and they feel like garbage. So, you know, I would say that just taking back your life first and foremost, making small little little changes, but also pairing up with somebody that you trust that knows what they're doing with looking at your blood work and and helping you optimize your hormones.
unknownYeah.
Prevention Visceral Fat And Heart Risk
SPEAKER_02And how and and how about the opportunity to live longer? I mean, I mean, I mean, the the decisions literally add years to your life. I mean, one of our members of Standard Elite Mastermind, Brian Edwards, the decisions and choices that he's made to do things the right way. He's literally added years to his life. I mean, he weighs 40 pounds less than when we started working together. I mean, you literally you get reports from doctors, and doctors are saying things that at our ages you just don't hear. Like it's supposed to be the opposite. Like, no, we're putting you on medicine for this. We're putting you on instead, it's the regulation and care through ways to extend life and make you more efficient and allow you to sleep better. Uh, Traven, you were gonna say something?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no, I was just gonna say that going back to something you said in your intro about you doing heart tests before you ever even had heart issues, you know, I'm really big on stuff like that. And that to me, it's our healthcare system has always been set up in a way to be reactive, right? So we always typically wait until disease happens and then react to it. And there's not a lot of emphasis on doing the preventative things to prevent those diseases from ever happening in the first place. And so, you know, taking the preventative steps on like let me get my heart, you know, levels checked and see what's going on first before it even happens, or let me address my hormones before I'm truly in a severe deficient state. Because once you go down that road, it's a lot easier to come back versus you know staying ahead of it and preventing it in the first place.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I I want to touch on something here because this just this emotionally um this emotionally just hit me uh in a in a place from a friend that I lost uh a couple of years ago. Um, a dear friend of mine, his name was John Rule, and uh, you know, passed far, far, far too soon. Um, and I believe that some of you know his his passing um, you know, it it could have been health related. And and and he was one who got on his journey and was losing weight and doing things, but it was almost like it caught up with him because maybe he'd waited too long and it was this most devastating tragedy. I I missed the guy. I it it made me think because you you got your first form energy drinks, you guys are actually coming to the St. Louis Summit. You're gonna be sponsors of uh the St. Louis Summit, which I can't wait to put people through the workout together with with you guys. But he actually at our first ever St. Louis Summit came and gave this amazing gift to Sal Frisella. And it was it was just this beautiful. Um, it was made from records from uh Lindsay here in St. Louis. I mean, it's just this beautiful pork. I mean, it was amazing. And then he was gone like six months later.
SPEAKER_01Oh man.
SPEAKER_02And you know, there there were things that had happened, you know, some dizzy spells. And things was like, okay, I need to do this, I need to do that, I need to get to the doctor. What are some of those things? Because we hear these horror stories where it's like, I would give anything to go have another coffee with John Rulin, which I used to love doing. Or, you know, we would go hang out at the cigar club at the at the Ritz-Carlton and just talk and vision together. And we don't get to do those things anymore. What are some of the things that uh from either of you that people need to pay attention to? What are some of those warning signs before you hear of that widow maker heart attack that could have been prevented if you would have paid attention or gone to a doctor early?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Well, that's the scary thing about stuff like that in the heart attacks. Usually the first sign is the heart attack. A lot of times there isn't a lot of, you know, physical symptoms that manifest before those things. And so that's why, you know, going back to the preventative side, we always talk about, you know, doing all the lifestyle choices. But something we preach to our patients every day is doing everything you can to reduce your visceral fat. Because what we know now from what all the research and literature is showing us that you know, visceral fat is what's driving all this insulin resistance that in turn is really responsible for most of the age-related disease and deaths that people have. So when you think about heart disease, you know, diabetes, um, even a lot of cancers now are traced back to insulin resistance. And so everything you can do to keep your visceral fat as low as possible is what you should be doing. And so it's everything that we all know it's exercising, eating good, you know, sleeping good, making sure your hormones are dialed in. Those are the big things that I would tell everyone to make sure you're on top of.
What Working With Rev Health Looks Like
SPEAKER_02But uh, but before we talk about that and have some fun, I want to talk to both of you about you know legacy and really the impact that you both want to have on the world, because I know impact and changing people's lives is so, so important to you. But before we get there, when somebody reaches out, we're gonna make it so easy. And uh for everybody listening, please. This is I've lost friends too early. I've had people say they were too busy. Please just take the time, schedule time, have a conversation, reach out all the questions that you've wanted answered. Don't go get them from some cool video about peptides online, get them from experts who care and research and do the things the right way. What does it look like if somebody reaches out to you? Because I think sometimes people feel threatened, they feel scared. What is this gonna be like? Is this gonna be embarrassing for me? Can you kind of share what would that experience be like when somebody clicks on the link and says, I just want to have a conversation?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's pretty easy and straightforward with all of us. Like I typically speak to all of our females and Travan handles all of our male patients. And you know, most of the time we do start with blood work first and kind of go from there, but sometimes we'll set up just a call. So that might be me and a female just kind of talking about symptoms. And usually after that first call, it's it it it gives a lot of like peace and hope because a lot of times these women are like, I'm told I'm normal. Like this is normal. I'm just aging. And so when we kind of break things down and I talk about like my story and my experience and other patients that we see every day, um, they seem to be a lot more at ease for sure. Um but the first steps with us are always just to like go to our website and click start now, fill out an intake form so that we can kind of get your past history, build you a chart, and we go from there.
SPEAKER_02Love it. Uh Traven, anything to add there?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I'd say there's you know, two.
SPEAKER_02You you specifically will speak with women and you speak with men, which I which I think is great. I I think it's great that you guys take that approach.
SPEAKER_01It it works out good. I think it's it's easy, it's relatable for people that way. And you know, I typically I we see two different kinds of people. We see someone that is desperate, that's been to a lot of different places, that's trying to find answers, that's really struggling, or we see someone that maybe doesn't even realize anything's wrong. But let's say, like, they're a friend of yours, Ben, and they're like, Ben is really like kicking ass. Like, I want to look like him, I want to feel like him, I want to have this kind of energy. And they're like, What are you doing, Ben? And then, you know, you'll refer him to us, and then they'll come. And so it's kind of like those it's someone that might not even realize it, but then they get on the program, like, oh my god, I didn't realize how far I had kind of slipped out until I felt great again. And so it's, you know, our demographic is really all over the place, but um, yeah, men, women, all ages, it's really really try to make it as easy as we can.
Running A Marriage And A Business
SPEAKER_02Love it, and uh you guys do make it easy. And you know, a lot of times it's a quick email, it's a quick text message, it's it's a phone call, it's the way that your team interacts, it's the even just the consistency of communication, just updates on everything. I just I I I love the process. You know, I'm so big on process and the standard. And I think if people want things done the right way, then choose to partner with individuals. That's why I look at this as a partnership. It's partnering to help me live a better, longer, healthy life for my family and those I'm blessed to be able to work with. And so I just think it's important for everybody do things to the standard, don't cut corners, do things the right way, take your time because there are no do-overs in life. And there are no do-overs in life, and you guys have chosen to do life together in your personal lives, do life together in your professional lives for so for those out there, because I think it is just awesome, and it is this uh attractive, powerful energy between the two of you. How do you do this? How do you how do you run a business together as husband and wife? And I do, I I get to partner with with several individuals that that do a lot of things together as husband and wife. I want to hear it from you guys. What's the secret to not just having a great home, but being able to do this together at work?
SPEAKER_01Babe, I want to hear your answer. I was gonna say, I mean, it's it honestly, I feel like we're lucky. You know, we do we are together 24-7 just with everything. And it's like anyone, any partner, I mean, we'll we'll definitely have our conflicts, but for the most part, we get along great, we work great. It's funny. We just did a remodel to our office here, and you know, in the past we had both worked together, and now we've created two separate offices, which is which is nice, and that's helpful, but uh it was much needed.
SPEAKER_00We work different too. Like Travan's always like got something loud going on in the background, and he's watching something on his phone and dealing with emails, and I'm like, I can't concentrate, like I'm gonna scream. So, you know, there's just a lot of really good balance though. I think that we we love everything that we do together. So it's it's a priority to us to get up in the morning and like it might sound weird, but we always have like coffee together in the morning. Like that that's how we start our day off. You know, then we start off with the gym together, and so it's it's having those same like likes and habits and just being consistent with each other, and also, you know, we both we've been divorced, and it's like now I think that we realize how important it is to be quick to forgive, quick to have those conversations and communicate that maybe we haven't done in the past. Um I was hesitant in the beginning with starting a business. Like there was one point where I was like, okay, no, you do this, I'm gonna keep doing my own thing. And um I am so thankful that we are doing this together. Like just the opportunities and the blessings that have come from it and how we get to help other men and women. Um and just yeah, I mean, it's nice to have a partner that is my best friend in all areas of life. And we're growing and learning together, but you know what's really cool, honestly, like after just coming back from our wedding, is that we get to be that example for our children and for my adult kids that didn't get to see that. I have three kids that are adults, and just you know, being that example in front of them, even later in life, to me, is what means everything.
Legacy Fertility And Saving Marriages
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you know. Yeah, I always I always say that the the little eyes are always watching. I mean, my little eyes watch my mom go through her illness, even though, you know, as our children get older, they're always gonna be little eyes to us, you know. But those little eyes which become big eyes, like those are still eyes that are watching how we show up. And that's what really leads me to this final question that I love for both of you to answer. Legacy is such a powerful and important word for me. I think about how my mom lived her life. My mother was a teacher, and there are still students. I still live in St. Louis where I was born and raised by my mother. And I've met students that my mother taught, or somebody may hear that I spoke somewhere. Somebody could be in the audience and they'll come up and say, Your mom wasn't, you know, the teacher, Janet Newman. And I'm like, yeah, that was my mom. And like it's it's mind-blowing the impact that's had far after the work stops. And I think about the work that you all are doing, the care that you have for your work. And I just it's what hit my heart as I was preparing for our conversation today is what does legacy mean to you? Because when you guys transition the business to the kids and you decide to retire one day, or whatever that that future looks like for all of you, there are going to be so many success stories of people who are like, my goodness, that first conversation changed my life. That first conversation educated me. That first conversation wasn't the doctor who was dismissive and gave me a pill. It was like, my goodness, Britney like listened to every word that I said, and it changed how I started showing up. How important is legacy and the impact? Because one thing I'd never really hear either of you talk about in the conversations I had. You're I don't hear you talk about money. I don't hear you, and you're running a for-profit business. I know you want to grow a business. I know you guys want to make more money and grow your business, and you're doing a hell of a job of it. But I don't hear you guys talk about those things. So, how important is legacy and these lives and these stories and the longevity that you're putting in people's lives? Why and why is that so important to you? And what does legacy mean to you?
SPEAKER_00You know, that's a that's that's a load of that's a there's a lot there. But um, you know what's really cool for us and is so meaningful is when somebody comes to us, I'm gonna use a couple um as an example, they come to us and they've been married for 17 years and they aren't sleeping together. They're they're now roommates and they're their kids are now out of the house and they don't have that intimacy anymore. And you know, we have our check-ins and our follow-ups, and it comes to like four months down the road, and they come to us and they're like, You saved our marriage. Like we are now like intimate again. We feel like we're dating each other, we're in love to a whole nother level that we haven't experienced in years. That kind of stuff is what drives me because it can be so hard. Like we can have some very difficult patients that they don't listen and they're not consistent and they're not making lifestyle changes. And then you get these patients that come in and tell us, you know, that we saved their marriage, you know, or that are losing like 50, 60 pounds working with us over time. You know, it's it's those life-changing moments that we hear from patients that make everything worth it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, the other thing I was gonna say too, on top of that, is you know, something we don't talk about a lot because it's not sexy or fun to talk about on social media, but fertility is a really big issue now, especially with a lot of young women and women and having issue issues getting pregnant. And so when we start working with those couples and they haven't been successful in the past and they've spent years trying, and then I'll get a text with like an ultrasound photo or a positive pregnancy test or something like that. Like those things bring tears in my eyes. Like, I love those moments more than anything.
SPEAKER_02So if go ahead, please.
SPEAKER_00Sorry, I was gonna say, like, you were talking about like as a child looking at it too. Like, I look at even like our kids and just being that example for them and teaching them, like my son sees us get up every day and we are at the gym, we're eating healthy, we're talking about that kind of stuff. Like, to me, the legacy is being that example for even that generation and making more awareness because people aren't aware of how sick like the younger generations truly are. Like half of them, I mean more than half of them probably have never even actually felt good, and they don't know what it feels like to feel good. So I would say more than anything, I feel like I want to bring as much awareness to the issues of how important this is for protection and prevention.
Elite Performance Means Health First
SPEAKER_02I love it. I I I can't thank you guys enough for the impact you have on me. Uh, it's really a blessing and an honor for me to have an opportunity when it comes to my desire to want to live longer and to be healthier and to continue to attack that elite level because I'm I'm far from it until I look like Travan. I'm not uh I I have not I have not been there yet. So I got uh I got big goals to chase down. That's why I wore a sweatshirt. I didn't wear you guys know a lot of times I wear t-shirts. I didn't wear a t-shirt because I uh that that's the goal of where I'm going. But I joke, but I I I cannot thank you guys enough because you genuinely helped me slow down, make the right decisions. And I really want that for everybody listening because we are never getting our health back. And for me to have had two parents that struggled with health the way that they did, it is so, so important. And so much of it is within the decisions and choices that you make every day. So thank you so much to both of you, to the entire uh Rev Health family. I'm just very, very grateful for both of you.
unknownThank you.
SPEAKER_01Thanks, man. We appreciate you, man. And the feeling is mutual.
SPEAKER_02Well, for everybody that wants the opportunity to slow down and to have a conversation and really chase down what it means to be elite. And I'll share this with you. Many of you have heard me say this so many times that until you really start attacking all areas of your life, which is far different than most coaches, right? They say, just attack your business and then slow down for your health. You will never understand your highest level of performance until you tap into your capacity and realize you can care about your family and be with your family. You can live a healthy life and eat good and work out. You can also be a savage in business and get after it and attack and do the things you want to do and serve and give back to your communities and do things the right way with a big loving heart. You can have a life of doing all of those things, but it's got to be a choice. So if you want to be elite, a conversation is gonna give you the opportunity to attack that elite level. Because if you're one of those individuals who's like, my business is on fire, I'll worry about that stuff later. It may be too late. And I'm not gonna sit here with this mic right here and not take an opportunity to challenge you to do what you need to do in order to understand what it feels like to get your health in order and then start chasing your business. That's what elite level performance looks like. So once again, thank you. We're gonna make it super easy for you to build a relationship to follow RevHealth. And even if it starts with, go on Instagram and click that button. And just like me, I still watch your guys' videos all the time because they're educational, they're informative, they attack issues across all of the questions. Even if you start there, I think you'll find it won't be long until you say, I have to have a conversation. Enough is enough. If you can't tell that vein is popping, I care this much about the topic. We love and appreciate each and every single one of you who allows us to be part of your journey, keeping that burn lit in order to ignite that why and purpose to chase down winning at its highest levels. Thank you for joining us for another episode of the burn, and we'll look forward to seeing you next week.
