Dr. Kirk Parsley, Performance Enhancement Physician + former SEAL, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 734, to uncover the shocking truth about mainstream sleep drugs and how they hijack natural processes like GABA without delivering true rest, how high-stress lifestyles demand recovery strategies, and why optimizing your sleep might just be the missing key to a better life, stronger communication, and lasting emotional resilience. "When you don't sleep very well, you're choosing to age faster. If you stay up for 20 hours, you've added 4 hours of damage, which means your brain is aging 25% faster.

"The only animal on this planet that sleep deprives itself on purpose is us. It makes evolutionary sense that our brains perceive lack of sleep as famine or threat because there's some kind of stressor going on. That is why people who don't sleep well or don't sleep enough have higher amygdala tone and higher stress hormones." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Benefits of Sleep "It takes 8 hours to recover from being awake for 16 hours. The benefit of sleep is the hormone production, the repair, the acceleration of your immune system, the consolidation of memories, the categorization of emotional events." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Your Brain Creates Waste Products "When you go to sleep, the neurons that hold the structure of the brain contract about 30% and they create little channels for the cerebral spinal fluid to flow through. There are ways for it to clear and get outside of the blood brain barrier and get rid of your waste products. If you don't clear that, it's toxic. It's a waste product. It'd be like if you leave feces in your living room, you don't get rid of it, it's toxic. And what happens is that your brain or your body attacks it. It's like a foreign object. So it's an inflammatory response." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Links From Today's Show  Kirk Parsley MD 125 Dr. Kirk Parsley – Sleep To Win 256 Navigating Transitions In Relationships, Health, and Wealth: Dr. Kirk Parsley & Krisstina Wise 591 Dr. John Lieurance | Biohacking Big Souls: How UFC Fighters + Big Wave Surfers Holistically Heal William Dement The Upside of Stress by Kelly McGonigal MD 692 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

He dedicates a significant portion of his time to advising non-profit organizations that support the SEAL community and providing healthcare guidance and treatment to veterans. Operating his practice and supplement business from Austin, Texas, Kirk is an avid outdoorsman and fitness enthusiast. His philosophy is straightforward: our bodies are built on a 100,000+ year-old model, and we perform best by emulating the lifestyle we evolved to live, as closely as possible, striving to approximate the health metrics of our 25-30-year-old selves (the physiologic peak of most humans). Kirk firmly believes that 80% of health is derived from focusing on Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, and Stress mitigation, with a strong emphasis on Sleep. Website Instagram Facebook

Why we follow other people's definitions of success. How all of us have cognitive scripts and have the power to rewrite them. Why we can choose to follow a script if it feels aligned with us. How Anne-Laure thought leaving her job at Google meant she was rewriting her script. When nobody's surprised by our decisions, we're still probably following a script.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Ask Yourself This to Live a More Authentic Life "You can get a little bit closer to living an authentic life when you start asking yourself, what do I want? What am I curious about? And making space for it, as much space as you can." - Anne-Laure Le Cunff Liminal Space "Liminal space is a space where you don't know the rules, you don't know the players, you can't predict the outcomes. But we can't predict what's going to happen either way. It's this illusion of safety and certainty that we're seeking. The gift of the liminal space is learning more about yourself, about your work, and about the world. It is a space for self discovery if you allow yourself to stay in it, which can be very uncomfortable." - Anne-Laure Le Cunff What Would You Do If You Could Do Anything?

Save 20% with "JOSH20" Listen To Episode 731 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] The Power of Self-Talk The words we use are described as 'spells' and 'little prayers' that impact our mental state The narrative about pain can keep us stuck (e.g., saying 'I'm in pain' vs. 'I'm healing') The unconscious mind constantly listens to our self-talk Our brain receives 11 million bits of information per second but can only process 50-120 bits Neuroplasticity enables our brains to create new neural pathways through repeated thoughts [10:15] Disempowering Language Patterns Common disempowering phrases: 'I can't,' 'I should,' 'I'm bad,' 'I'm not smart enough' Learned patterns often pass down through family generations Spend 24 hours noticing how you speak to yourself The phrase 'I have to' creates a feeling of obligation and burden Replacing 'I have to' with 'I get to' shifts from obligation to opportunity The etymology of 'should' comes from Old English meaning debt, obligation, or duty [20:30] Replacing 'I don't know' 'I don't know' is a definite response that closes off possibilities Replace 'I don't know' with 'I'm figuring it out' or 'I'm learning how' The connection between disempowering language and lack of trust in intuition When we replace definitiveness with curiosity, it opens up possibilities Curiosity is lost during arguments when we get triggered (prefrontal cortex activity decreases) [30:45] Eliminating 'Try' + 'Maybe' 'Try' implies potential failure and provides a backdoor excuse not to succeed Replace 'try' with 'I will' or 'I'm going to do my very best' 'Maybe' steals our ability to take action and indicates a lack of conviction 'Maybe' often serves as a safety net in case we're wrong Replace 'maybe' with 'I commit to' or 'I believe' The importance of balancing high standards of communication with grace for ourselves Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Links From Today's Show  732 Anne-Laure Le Cunff | Stop Living Someone Else's Life: How to Break Free from The Hidden Scripts Controlling You 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only EQUIP Foods - 20% off with the code WELLNESS20 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Legacy Cacao - Save 10% with JOSH when you order by the pound!

Save 20% with "JOSH20" Listen To Episode 727 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Understanding Deception + Self-Deception Key concept: The biggest lies we believe often feel like the biggest truths Saint Bernard's quote: 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions' Milton Friedman's wisdom: judge policies by results, not intentions The most dangerous deceptions are wrapped in good intentions People lose the ability to discern truth from deception when relying on external validation Illusory truth effect: cognitive bias where repeated false statements become believed [07:55] Cognitive Biases + Manipulation Tactics Our brains prefer familiar information, creating cognitive shortcuts Familiarity does not equal truth Question to ask yourself: 'Do I believe this because it's true or because I've heard it repeatedly?' Beliefs can be inserted when someone is vulnerable (financial hardship, emotional vulnerability) Manipulation tactics: fear-mongering, guilt, and virtue signaling Discussion of objective vs. subjective truth and their differences [15:45] Common Manipulation Types + Defense Strategies Three common manipulation types: fear-mongering, social proof pressure, false dichotomies Fear mongering: creating urgency through fear (COVID example given) Social proof pressure: fear of social rejection or judgment False dichotomies: presenting only two options when more exist Breathwork as a tool to exit manipulation cycles The key question to ask: 'Who benefits from me believing this?' The contradiction test: look for contradictions in someone's 'absolute truth' If you can't argue the opposite side, you've been conditioned, not educated [23:45] Rebuilding Intuition + Exiting Manipulation Every time you ignore your gut feeling, you make it weaker The cost of ignoring intuition: toxic relationships, bad jobs, meaningless pursuits Four ways to sharpen intuition: conscious breathwork, meditation, microdosing, conscious reflection The counterintuitive solution: 'The only way to win the game is to stop playing it' The observer mindset: watch the world like a movie rather than reacting to it Eight takeaways summarized at the end, including remembering that feelings are not facts Final encouragement to find peace and fulfillment by exiting manipulative systems Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Links From Today's Show  698 Cory Clark | Pro-Blame Bias: How to Find The Courage to Speak Your Truth + Escape Victim Mentality Wild Wild Country (2018) 345 Zach Bush MD: Humanity, Consciousness & COVID19 breathwork.io EONS: DAILED (Amanita Muscaria) - Get 20% off with code JOSH20 Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only EQUIP Foods - 20% off with the code WELLNESS20 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Legacy Cacao - Save 10% with JOSH when you order by the pound!

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 726 What if the greatest threat to your success isn’t the world around you, but the self-sabotaging lies in your mind? Bizzie Gold, Brain Pattern Mapping + Behavior Expert, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 726, to reveal the hidden pathways of self-deception, how subconscious patterns distort our sense of identity and drive us to repeat old destructive emotional loops we mistake for “normal” life, and the roadmap to rewiring your brain so you can finally live in alignment with your true potential. "Every person's brain pattern type has a unique set of self-deceptive tendencies. Self-deception is the fuel for everything negative that we experience in our lives.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Brain Pattern Opposition "The way our brain pattern will distort our perception is that we repeat the things that we like, and we decide what makes us feel safe or unsafe. So we keep constraining our possibilities and choices, and it gets us locked in a very restrictive loop. Pattern opposition is when we understand exactly what our brain pattern sets up is a pattern of self-deception, repetitive thoughts, how we tend to assume in a very patterned way about our environment so that we can establish how we do things very precisely." - Bizzie Gold Pain Helps You Grow "We can grow so much through pain and hurt. And if you are tricked into thinking that you need to deny this pain and hurt because you need to choose to be positive, you end up missing the lesson. You end up missing being present in the pain. And presence in the pain is the thing that helps you grow the most." - Bizzie Gold Repetitive Events Shape Your Brain "Anything negative is going to feel traumatizing in our earliest years of life. Our brain is shaped by the repetitive events, not the one time events. The break method is about understanding how are we seeing the world through distortion and how can we learn to take that off so that we can see things more as they are, more objectively? When we do that, collaboration becomes very easy to do because we no longer see our perspective oppositional to someone else's perspective." - Bizzie Gold Links From Today's Show  Bizzie Gold 375 Bizzie Gold: Break Method | Why Instinct And Intuition Are Not The Same (Rewiring The Subconscious) Your Brain Is a Filthy Liar by Bizzie Gold Fight Club (1999) 543 Kelly Brogan MD | How to Love ALL Your Parts + Be Self-Sovereign MANNA GOLD - $20 off with code JOSHGOLD 715 Mark Gober | The End of Upside Down Thinking: New Science Flips The “Reality” We Think Is Real… Billions (2016) 312 Kevin Kelly: What Technology Can Teach Us About Self Love Finding Joe (2011) Sillicon Valley (2014) 420 Mo Gawdat | Scary Smart: Artificial Intelligence, Mental Health, & The Future   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  15% off (no code needed) EQUIP Foods - 20% off with the code WELLNESS20 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Legacy Cacao - Save 10% with JOSH when you order by the pound!
