Understanding Physical Intelligence

Physical intelligence refers to the ability to understand and manage the body's inner chemistry to enhance performance and well-being. It encompasses four key elements: inner strength, creativity and flexibility, resilience, and endurance, each connected to specific chemical compositions in the body. For instance, inner strength is tied to adrenal stability and physical strength, while flexibility relies on serotonin and oxytocin, essential for creativity and connecting with others. By engaging with these elements, coaches can help clients tap into their physical intelligence to achieve greater effectiveness in various situations.
