Episode notes

I am so grateful that I’ve been able to connect with such a wide variety of interesting people through this show - to hear their stories, learn from their wisdom, and gain insight into experiences I never would have had access to.

This show will encapsulate some of the best moments and lessons that have been featured on Get Over Yourself - from Dr. John Gray to Dr. Peter Attia to Amanda Renteria, this episode is packed with some seriously profound insights you will be able to apply to any area of life.

What We’ll Learn From….

Dr. Peter Attia:

“There’s enough information out there for people to get a sense of what we should and shouldn’t eat.”
“People tend to get confused about things that don’t matter.”
“The insight is: if you do this for long enough, it matters.”

Elle Russ, author of Confident As F*ck and The Paleo Thyroid Solution:

“I was forced to follow my passion.”

Brian MacKenzie:

“More is not better, better is better.”
“We’re now starting to understand the interconnectivity of the brain and respiration and how your respiration is a part of your central nervous system. In fact, we believe it’s the remote control. Your emotions, your pain, your muscles going to work, stress of any sort, there are dedicated respiration patterns that go off the moment those are happening on an autonomic level.”

My favorite guest/person, Mia Moore:

“You have to make a conscious choice not to sweat the small stuff. That’s not easy.”
“When someone’s venting, you don’t want to hear [the other person] tell you what to do...they’re probably already figured it out. They probably just want someone to hear them vent.”

Dr. Elisha Goldstein:

It’s important to learn how to actively relax your nervous system: “If your body is bracing, the first step is to actively soften your body.”

Mark Sisson:

A calculated risk is still a risk.

Dr. Wendy Walsh:

“When the man makes less than the woman, he is far more likely to cheat.”

Amanda Renteria:

“We’ve got to start changing this image of leadership.”

Gitta Sivander:

“Being able to be authentic, and being able to be present, will allow for us to be more confident.”

“How can we be responsible for ourselves as adults if we don’t learn to be responsible for ourselves as children? We need to learn that from early on.”

Ben Greenfield:

“Taking a step back and looking at this bigger picture of enjoying the entire experience of eating - I think it would benefit everyone to focus on that, rather than get into the nitpicking.”

Martin Brauns:

“Make sure you check your own intentions.”

“Look for the folks who get the results done, but through non-heroic, well planned and paced, thoughtful work.”

Dave Kobrine:

“It’s not using willpower, it’s about habit. And habits you just do automatically.”
“If you’re not in control of what you feel and what you say, then somebody else - and that somebody else is your fear mechanism - this big part of your brain that reacts for you.”

Enjoy the show, and stay tuned for part 2!
