Breaking Out of Homeostasis w/Ludvig Sunstrom

The majority of people in this world are just existing and never getting out of homeostasis. What are the things that keep us there? How can you use your habits and mindset to break out of it? Why is fasting such a necessity? On this episode, we are joined by author and blogger, Ludvig Sunstrom to discuss these concepts.

You have to constantly evolve in every area of your life if you want to continue to break out of homeostasis. -Jay Campbell

Three Takeaways

• Most people never figure out what they want out of life because they never ask the question of what it is they want.
• Social media is an evolutionary mismatch that forces homeostasis.
• Fasting is a way for your body to mend itself from the inside-out and cleanse itself of impurities from what we eat.

At the start of the show, Ludvig gave some background on his life path, and we discussed why a college education isn’t as valuable as it used to be. Next, we talked about homeostasis and how to break out of it. We also discussed how to avoid the traps of homeostasis, BDNF, and the mistakes people make when it comes to calories and dieting.

We also discussed:

• How the body is hardwired to save energy
• How to come up with workable intentional strategies to achieve your dreams
• Strategic reasons for fasting

The human body can only be in one of two states: homeostasis, or your most active state. There is no in-between. If you want to break out of homeostasis, you have to evolve. Choose your commitments carefully and spend your time on things that actually matter. You also have to be good at controlling your indulgences. Become fully intentional about everything you do with your time and your life, and align your mindset with your goals.
