About The Instructor:

Phil Mackenzie is a former Professional Rugby Player and the Founder of the LEANSQUAD. Phil has two twin boys and a toddler with his awesome wife, Brodie. After nearly 10 years of playing in the best league and two World Cups with Canada, Phil eventually retired and as he and Brodie were having their first son, Hudson, Phil made it his mission to help ANYONE and EVERYONE get fit in a realistic and sustainable way.

After Phil retired, he quickly realized how “real” real life was. As a dad, as a husband and as someone who enjoys a “whoopsie” Phil knew he didn’t want to train in the gym for hours or follow some ultra restrictive diet that would ruin all the fun!

So, instead, Phil used everything he had learned from the world's best trainers and nutritionists and set out to change the way people train, eat and transform their bodies forever! This is when the LEANSQUAD was officially born!

Fast forward to today and over 10,000+ mothers, dads, students, business men and women all over the world have transformed alongside Phil through his online workouts!

Why COLON CANCER Screenings Are So Important.

Shawn Leyden, of Maplewood, New Jersey was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016. A busy executive at the state's largest electric and gas provider, Shawn was on an aggressive every-other-year colonoscopy schedule due to a family history of colon cancer. However, he had missed a scheduled colonoscopy that might have caught his colon cancer earlier.

He eventually scheduled his colonoscopy at Saint Barnabas Medical Center with Mark Gilder, MD, a colon and rectal surgeon and an RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group provider, who found a large polyp. It was later removed with minimally invasive robotic surgery.

"Dr. Gilder spent a lot of time with me and my wife, explaining everything that needed to be done," Shawn says.

This year, Shawn went for a follow up colonoscopy screening with Dr. Gilder and we're happy to report, he remains cancer free.

"I regret not keeping my scheduled colonoscopy appointment," says Shawn Leyden of Maplewood. "If I'd stuck with what my doctor told me to do, I might not have gotten colon cancer, or I at least could have avoided the need for a six-and-a-half-hour surgery," he says.

Schedule a colonoscopy today.

As New Jersey's only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, together with RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group, provide patients with the most advanced cancer screening and treatment options including both routine and complex surgical procedures, sophisticated radiation therapy techniques, clinical trials and novel therapeutics such as immunotherapy and precision medicine.

If you are due for a routine colon cancer screening, don't delay. To request a colon cancer screening appointment, please click here or for a consultation with a Medical Group gastroenterologist near you, click here.

Get screened. Early detection of colon cancer can save your life.

March was Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and a great reminder to schedule your colon cancer screening. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women combined in the U.S. and the second leading cause of cancer death in men and women combined in the US. Screening is the key to preventing colon cancer.

It is important to talk to your doctor about any unusual symptoms, personal history, family history, and risk factors. Based on your age and history, your doctor may recommend colorectal screenings, including a colonoscopy.

A colonoscopy is a procedure that enables the doctor, usually a gastroenterologist, to evaluate the inside of the large intestine (the colon). During the colonoscopy, the doctor examines the colon for any abnormalities, including growths or polyps (which are often precursors to cancer). A colonoscopy screening has the potential to detect and even prevent colorectal cancer because polyps can be identified and removed.

THE PERFECT GIFT - DivvyUp Customized SOCKS!

I have THE PERFECT GIFT IDEA for you guys!

This Mother's Day + Father's Day, I’ll be giving the absolute JOY of my life, my Mama Joy and Papa Ed, these adorable DivvyUp socks that I made for them with my adorable niece & nephews faces on them. I chose blue (my Mom's favorite color to match her gorgeous eyes) and she loves butterflies, so I chose them for the design. It was that easy and fun to create this perfectly special gift!

I am truly obsessed with the brand, DivvyUp who helps you make the cutest custom socks with personal photos....it is seriously the best gift ever!!! DivvyUp also offers bulk custom socks (for the whole fam or perhaps a group of friends or teammates or for a bachelor and bachelorette party....the ideas are endless!

Since Father’s Day is right around the corner, I'd like to share my Affiliate Link with you! Just click the link HERE .

I just designed and ordered a pair for Papa Ed, so I will post a picture of them when he opens his Father's Day presents!

You can design a pair for yourself, your bestie, partner, teacher, nurse, doctor, family, first responders, teams ( they sell in bulk too ) ...ANYONE and you can design them with something meaningful to you and to the recipient of the socks .... like I said, the ideas are endless!!!

Also, if all that wasn’t cool enough, DivvyUp was founded with the goal to sustainably provide socks to those in need.....

“Socks. We need socks.”

This was the phrase that started it all! As sophomores in Florida State University’s entrepreneurship program, the students took a trip to their local homeless shelter looking for an opportunity to help. Expecting to hear, “food” or shelter,” the students were surprised to learn that there was a huge need for clean socks. And with that, the inspiration for DivvyUp was born!

Wanting to start immediately, the students professor provided them with a $400 loan to purchase and sell fun socks with a mission to give a pair to the shelter for every pair the community purchases.

Now how cool is that?!? Buy a pair of socks and DivvyUp gives a pair to someone in need!

So, what are you waiting for? Go get some socks!!!!
