70. Aaron Alexander: Biohacking Your Mind/Body Connection, Part One

Have you ever considered that you might be walking, sitting, and sleeping in ways that are harmful to your body? Did you know that it's possible to biohack your mind and it's relation to your body, to effectively cancel out poor habits of thought and movement? In this info-packed conversation, our guest Aaron Alexander teaches us all about attitude adjustments, functional movement, and the role of bodywork modalities like Rolfing play in healing physical dysfunction.

In this two-part show, Aaron and I discuss not only how mind and movement effect your overall state of well-being, but also a slew of other fun and somewhat controversial lifestyle-related topics like the benefits or practicing semen retention, and the deleterious effects of pornography on male vitality.

This show is a biohacking bonanza, chock full of cutting-edge, actionable lifestyle practices and knowledge bombs, dropped so generously by our guest Aaron. This one ought to keep you busy for quite a while.

As always, my lone request is that you share this transformative episode with a friend who could use some encouragement, and direction in life.

To your mind and body,

Luke
