"I am a Lieutenant for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) in Miami, Florida, in the US.I started my career in 1999 as a Firefighter and became a Paramedic within 3 years. I later earned Driver engineer and for the past 20 years I have served as a Lieutenant.I have an Associates in Science degree. I am a state certified Fire Inspector.I am an active member of our Departments Critical Incident Stress Management Team (CISM).After 18 years in operations,I obtained the bid position of a Lieutenant Fire Inspector for my Fire Department.

I am also the Owner and CEO ofTriple F- Fierce Female Firefighters.Triple F started off as a private group page on Facebook for women in the fire service. This was started in 2013, to create a platform for women to be able to reach out for support, advice, and encouragement and to help navigate the different obstacles women may face in the fire service.We now have over 7,200 female firefighters from 58 different countries.Due to our unique and popular female firefighter logos, I started a company called, Triple F- Fierce Female Firefighters. We have many different items such as t-shirts, decals and challenge coins designed for women in the fire service.

I also created a female firefighter plush doll for kids. We have three different girls and our logos are on these dolls. They come with removable gear just like a real firefighter. I wanted to show little girls they can be anything, even a firefighter."

0:00.0	This episode is sponsored by Transcend, a veteran-owned and operated performance optimization company
0:05.9	that I introduced recently as a sponsor on this show.
0:09.5	Well, since then, I have actually been using my products, and I have had incredible success.
0:14.4	There was initial blood work that was extremely detailed, and based on that, they offered supplementation.
0:20.6	So I began taking DHEA, BPC 157 for inflammation
0:25.3	based on the fact that I've been a stuntman, a martial artist and a firefighter in my whole life,
0:29.9	lots of aches and pains, dihexa to help cognition after multiple punches to the head and shift work
0:36.1	and peptides. Four months later they they did a detailed blood work again,
0:40.1	and I was actually able to taper off two of the peptides
0:43.2	because my body had responded so well to just one of them
0:46.3	that it was optimized at that point.
0:48.5	So I cannot speak highly enough of the immense range of supplementation
0:53.4	that they offer, whether it's male health,
0:55.6	female health, peptides to boost your own testosterone, which I would argue is needed by a lot of
1:00.7	the fire service, or whether it's exogenous testosterone needed, especially after TBI's or advanced
1:06.5	age. Now, as I mentioned before, the other side of this company is an altruistic arm called
1:11.9	the Transcend Foundation, which is putting veterans and first responders through some of their
1:17.2	protocols free of charge. Now, Transcend are also offering you the audience 10% off their
1:23.6	protocols, and you can find that on James Gearing.com under the products tab.
1:28.8	And if you want to hear more about Transcend and their story, listen to episode 808 with
1:34.5	the founder, Ernie Colling.
1:36.8	Or go to transcendcompany.com.
