203 Brian Mackenzie: The Art of Breath
Breathing is the physiological intercept to our mental state. So, if things are going haywire, I can turn back to my breathing and control the physiological reactions that are happening in my mind. If I can take a step back and do that, I'm actually fixing the entire system. - Brian Mackenzie How can you enhance your health through nostril breathing versus breathing through the mouth? Is technology a crutch to how you eat, move, and sleep? JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST 20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE On Wellness Force Radio episode 203, the mind behind The Art of the Breath Clinics, Co-Founder of Power Speed, Endurance, and Co-Author of Unplugged, Brian Mackenzie, shares why breathing is a by-product of what's going on in the brain, how to be more mindful of technology use, and how we can change our state of mind at any moment we choose. Discover the process of rewiring the subconscious mind through conscious training, breathwork, and heightened awareness. "There's an integrative piece in the body that breathing is a by-product of what's going on in the brain. Our emotions, pain, or what we're cognitively thinking is actually our respiration rate if we're not consciously aware." - @brianmackenzie http://bit.ly/wfpodcast The Art of Breath Are you ready for the tools that will change your game?

Imagine being able to maximize your Oxygen usage to become a fatigue resistant machine. You can do all this. But you need the tools. That is where the Art of Breath comes in. At an Art of Breath clinic, you will learn: Why you should breathe through your nose during your training so you can go harder and faster for longer. What the diaphragm is and what it does because it may be the most important muscle you’re not using. How to increase your tolerance to carbon dioxide because it is the key to accessing your fuel stores. How to mobilize your upper back so you can use your lungs to their fullest.

Listen To Episode 203 As Brian Mackenzie Uncovers: What he is currently working on with breathwork and the mind. How to be more mindful of technology use. How we can change our state of mind at any moment we choose. Why we're almost using technology as a crutch for our natural sensory units. How to use non-meditative methods to enhance your state of mind. The process of rewiring the subconscious mind through conscious training and heighten awareness. How we can alter our minds in the present moment in order to re-focus on the task at hand. A common thread between improper breathing and poor performance. The concept that everything is everything and it all can be integrable to the point where anything from breathing to posture affects who we are. Why technology cannot ultimately replace our internal awareness. His thoughts on mouth taping and whether it's beneficial or not. How he trained himself to no longer breathe through the mouth as he slept. Cueing nostril breath practices vs. breathing through the mouth and when one is more appropriate than the other for high performance What you can gain and learn from training yourself to only breathe through the nostrils. The fact that the yoga world has been focusing on breathing solely through the nostrils for ages. Power Quotes From The Show "Meditation is a practice that you put into play that becomes a part of what you're doing. I can breathe, visualize, or focus on some sounds. We need to make these changes in the moment so that we can refocus on the task at hand." - @brianmackenzie http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "By design, we want comfort and we want life to be easy. Just look at the world we live in today. It's so easy today to get food or whatever we want at any given moment but go back a hundred years and it wasn't possible. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it but we get so focused on what is making things easy and comfortable that we forget that the only reason we make change is because of discomfort. Getting caught in that, we get afraid of stepping outside our comfort complex of technology." - Brian Mackenzie "I daily catch myself spending too much time on my phone but I know what I need to do as a result of that. So, if I've been on my phone for too long, I know I need to take a visual break because my visual system actually works with my physiology and my entire body reacts. In those situations, I do a breathing pattern, look 20 feet away from me in the distance, listen to music, or go outside to easily change what I'm doing for a few minutes to instantly improve how I feel." - Brian Mackenzie "Meditation is a practice that you put into play that becomes a part of what you're doing, but I can breathe, look at my visual system, or focus in on some sounds. I can do a lot of things in the moment and this is what we're really trying to teach. We want to be able to make these changes in the moment so that I can focus on what I need to or be open to what I need to do." - Brian Mackenzie "Technology is only being used to get us back to what it is that we're capable of actually doing ourselves. Technology is going to help and allow us to do a lot more, but how far are we removing ourselves from these basic physiological responses? Technologically is going to allow us to get back to that place." - Brian Mackenzie "Everybody has a response to fear. Even Navy SEALS have the exact same response that you and I have and these are the supposed to be the people who aren't afraid of anything, but that's not true; we're all the same and we all have the same reaction. It's about how fast they come back to their baseline. Most of us have a great jolt of fear and then it takes awhile to come back down or we need to be in that state of anxiety or sympathy for a longer period of time. That's where our breathing is playing the biggest role." - Brian Mackenzie Links From Today's Show Brian Mackenzie Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn The Art of Breath Power Speed Endurance Unplugged Unbreakable Runner Power Speed ENDURANCE How to Be Mindful When You Have Seasonal Allergies Brian Mackenzie on the Effects of Breathing on Recovery Brian MacKenzie on the Benefits of Nasal Breathing, Downregulation & More!

It's important to really be conscious about how you want to approach your meals. You can look at it being reactive vs. proactive. Do you want to wait until 5 o'clock and scramble to figure something out last minute or do you want to take a step back and be more thoughtful about planning your meals in advance? If I want to take things to the next level, for me that means doing some work up front with batch cooking. It does take some work, but then meal prepping actually helps me save time in the long run and makes life easier. - Allison Schaaf JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST 20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE Tired of overthinking, stressing, and wasting time thinking about what you're going to have for dinner each night?

Power Quotes From The Show "I have to eat as healthy as my clients and in order for me to do that, I had to take my own meal prepping to the next level. I just had to implement that system to help me reach my own goals." - Allison Schaaf of @PrepDish http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "Batch cooking ultimately helps you set yourself up for success. Choose a consistent day and time each week for when you can do your meal prep. Even if you just chop vegetables in advance, it really makes life easier and makes you more likely to include vegetables with each meal if they're already prepared ahead of time." - Allison Schaaf "Going to a grocery store with a list is key because that's where so much time is wasted during the week. If you have to take an extra trip to the grocery store, your losing time. There are a lot more options now to make grocery shopping more efficient such as grocery delivery or online shopping. Plus, ordering online will helping meal prepping so much easier by planning in advance. At Prep Dish, we're also thinking of different ways of making that grocery experience super efficient but it all starts with making a list." - Allison Schaaf "People jump into batch cooking thinking they have to do it, want to do it, or need to do it but can't find the time to actually do it. So, you first have to believe in the idea that this is going to help save you time later on, this is why I want to do it, and this is why it's important to me instead of thinking of it as something that you should do. Stop seeing it as something you should be doing and think of it as something you want to be doing." - Allison Schaaf "Having a meal prepared in advance that includes the core pieces of vegetables, protein, and healthy fats will help you avoid eating an unhealthy meal when you're stressed. Whether you're stressed or not, a healthy meal is going to help keep you from going on a built up blood sugar spiral." - Allison Schaaf Links From Today's Show Allison Schaaf LinkedIn Twitter Instagram YouTube Prep Dish Facebook YouTube Pinterest Google+ WFR 037 - How to Avoid Meal Prep Burnout with Allison Schaaf Free 2 Week Prep Dish Trial The Prep Dish Blog Prep Dish: Paleo & Gluten-Free Meal Planning Prep Dish: 21-Day Meal Prep Challenge Instant Pot Paleo f(x) Thrive Market US Wellness Meats Butcher Box Paul Chek What Does BPA-Free Mean?

201 Michael Gervais: Finding Mastery
An authentic expression of oneself is right at the center of what mastery looks like and feels like. That is available to all of us, but it requires an inward journey. There's a real journey that's required to get to the core insights of what makes you 'you.' Fulfillment, peace, happiness, and high performance all happen in the present moment. - Dr. Michael Gervais JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST 20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE Is there a common thread connecting how the greatest performers in the world use their minds to pursue the boundaries of human potential? In Wellness Force Radio episode 201, licensed psychologist, Co-founder of Compete to Create, and Podcast Host of Finding Mastery, Dr. Michael Gervais, explains what 'cognitive shifting' is, how you can facilitate the right amount of stress in order to adapt and improve, and how you can get started on your own spiritual path to create more space for yourself. By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped with the tools to train the internal noise, self-dialogue, and meaning-making machine that is your mind. "Relationships are at the center of us becoming our very best and it starts with the relationship that we have with ourselves first." - @michaelgervais of @CompetetoCreate http://bit.ly/wfpodcast Finding Mastery explores how the best in the world master their craft. Host and high-performance psychologist, Dr. Michael Gervais, interviews people excelling in the most hostile environments to discover the mental skills used to push the boundaries. Each episode features inspiring stories from the world’s best athletes, brilliant business minds, and the musicians and artists changing our perspective of what’s possible. Thoughtful, spontaneous, and engaging, Dr. Michael Gervais provides insights to help listeners live connected to their potential and pursue their very best. Dr. Gervais’ unique perspective and expertise are relevant to many different industries and audiences.

Listen To Episode 201 As Dr. Michael Gervais Uncovers: What you can do to better handle ongoing distractions in your life. Why multitasking doesn't exist and its true name is, 'cognitive shifting.' What it actually means to say, "I'm busy," today compared to in the past. The old wealth of material possessions compared to the new wealth of being able to have a quality life experience. The importance of people sharing their own experiences of self-discovery and how they've connected the mind, body, and soul. How the human body is able to maintain so much stress for so long and how it can let go of those negative emotions. The process of creating adaptations by utilizing the right amount of stress. Why people have such a hard time with being emotional and vulnerable. The messages that the ancient brain feeds you when you are feeling devastated by rejection or an extreme event and whether or not we can overcome that. Why betrayal is the thing that we're the most afraid of. Being authentic and truthful about what happens to you and your emotions. What it means to be human and to perform to our optimal potential. The time that we can allow ourselves to be able to go to the gym, meditate, eat healthily, and focus more on our wellness. How we can find and express our true selves through the work that we do. Why there's no such thing as rivalry and we really need everyone to help us become the best version of ourselves. His experience teaching mindfulness through meditation to top businesses. How to overcome your fears through systematic desensitization. What you can do to get started on your own spiritual path to create more space for yourself. Mindset training and how to go about it in your own terms. Power Quotes From The Show “The work is not to avoid stress. The work is to ask and understand, ‘How do I stop creating stress that is not needed and how do I facilitate the right amount of stress so that I can create adaptations?’ “-@michaelgervais of @CompetetoCreate http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "The new currency is attention. Today we are aware that multitasking doesn't exist and it's actually called 'cognitive shifting.' When we shift cognitively from one thought or activity to another, there's cost to it. There's a cost of time and a cost of depth. So, multitasking is a symptom of wanting to do a lot in life. Being busy used to be a badge of honor but it's no longer like that. When we say we're busy, it doesn't mean that we're in high demand and we're doing good work; it means that we're not organizing our life purpose well enough and we haven't figured out how to have dignity and regard for the way we spend our time as far as quality and quantity." - Dr. Michael Gervais "The old wealth was having a big car, nice watch, and getting a lot of attention, but the new wealth today is not that. The new wealth is the output of the quality of the inner experience. Today, people are deeply committed to exploring the nuances of their talents." - Dr. Michael Gervais "The idea is not to escape stress but to understand how we create it and how we work with it. No one is going to get good at anything without a little stress. Stress is really about change and eventual adaptation. So, what we're really looking for is the ability to trust ourselves in the present moment so that we can be present enough to embrace the unpredictable, unfolding unknown which is always right now. That's not easy to do; especially when we have this internal noise, self-dialogue, and meaning-making machine of our mind that's often times undisciplined because it's untrained." - Dr. Michael Gervais "If the new currency is attention, there is no 'extra.' Attention is what allows us to come back to the present moment and we need the mental skills to be able to do that. Therefore, there is no time for anything 'extra' because there's always an option to do more and I think many of us have come to be based this way based on the Industrial Revolution and we have this intense pride of work. This idea that we always have to be working hard around the clock has migrated across several generations. We've come to believe that we need to do more in order to be more. We can do all we want, but it will never provide what it feels like to be 'you.'

We Have Arrived If you’ve been listening to Wellness Force for a while, or if you’ve been with us since the beginning, you know by now that great things tend to take us time, effort, and the hardest one of them all - trusting the process - especially when it comes to our wellness. For episode 200, we spotlight 10 of our favorite moments over the past 200+ interviews, to pull the gems of wisdom, moments of laughter, and the real-life action steps that I've learned to both trust and believe in. I want to share my truth: This entrepreneurial and podcast path has not been 100% rainbows. Even since early childhood, I have known, deep down, that I march to the beat of a different drummer. Maybe you feel that too, and that’s why you’re here. I’ve faced inner and outer demons I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and since I woke up in 2011, I’ve done some really, really, hard work to let go of old stories about genetics, beliefs, and the people and things that don't serve my wellness. But yet as hard as this has been, I’ve also learned that when you operate from a place of love and service to others, and if you really want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. This podcast has been my home, my work, and my life for 3 years now, and today, I get to give thanks to YOU. Top 10 Wellness Force Guests Aubrey Marcus In episode 196, CEO of Onnit and the author of Own The Day, Own Your Life, Aubrey Marcus, reminds us that we have the power to move on from the past. We were not the same people that we were before and we don’t have to allow our past to define and label us. It is Aubrey’s mission to help each person understand that they have the ability to make their life their own. By giving people the tools to transform their work, relationships, and wellness, he’s helping create a world of optimized individuals who are looking to become the best versions of themselves. Jason Prall Our next guest is Director, Writer, and Producer of the 9-hour documentary series, The Human Longevity Project, Jason Prall. While many people believe that the fountain of youth can be found via a magic diet pill or plastic surgery, Jason knows that the key to longevity is through good health, love, and community. After traveling around the world to various Blue Zone locations, he is sharing what certain cultures have that the USA doesn’t have. In episode 192, you'll discover how you can use all of the resources that are available to you to pause, reflect, and connect with what you’re doing, who you are with, and your environment in the present moment. Robb Wolf We dive deep into ancestral health and Paleo nutrition with this next clip from episode 103 featuring two-time New York Times best-selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat, Robb Wolf. A former research biochemist, Robb is helping people recognize what foods they're addicted to, what is harming their bodies, and how they can heal that relationship by eating more whole foods and getting to a normal-fed state. Find out why the calories in, calories out method doesn’t matter and why being in a constant state of over-eating high-sugar, processed foods is what we should be paying attention to. Christine Hassler Are feelings the key to understanding our underlying thoughts and beliefs? In episode 132, author of the Expectation Hangover: Overcoming Disappointment in Work, Love, and Life, Christine Hassler, shares how we can recover and bounce back from difficult moments when life throws a curve ball in our way. With Christine’s help, people are learning how to let go of the past beliefs and anxieties they developed as children by focusing on truly feeling their emotions. It’s natural to want to avoid something that doesn’t make us feel good but if we take the time to observe our emotions, we can figure out what’s really going on in our minds. Gretchen Rubin Two-time guest, Gretchen Rubin, is the author of several books including her latest, The Four Tendencies. In episode 129, she shares the four tendency types: Upholder, Obliger, Rebel, and Questioner plus what they can reveal about your personality, behavior, and how you make decisions. Although our personality type may be deeply ingrained, we can still benefit from knowing these predictable behavioral patterns and set ourselves up for success. Through her writing and podcast, Happier with Gretchen, she shares practical, manageable advice about happiness and good habits that we can all learn to live by. Chris Kresser Making a 180 and changing our lives around completely is not easy.

199 Peter Crone: Bridging Physical Vitality & Mental Peace
If you're feeling a certain way, you're going to know to a certain degree what state you're in. If you're feeling sad, apathetic, resigned, or depressed, these are all indicators that you're in some form of resistance. Realizing that is actually a gift because how else are you going to know what your relationship is with reality? Conversely, if you're feeling joy, freedom, or a sense of peace or love in your relationship, these are references to the soul or true essence of who you are. That is your guiding force. - Peter Crone JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST 20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE How can daily emotional hygiene practices help you stop the negative emotions, thoughts, and anxieties you might be hoarding in your mind? In Wellness Force Radio episode 199, leader in human potential and performance, Founder of Be Alive, and Mind Coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Peter Crone, reveals his own practice for emotional hygiene, what the 6 Stages of Disease are, and why living with a 'good vibes only' attitude all the time is impossible. Discover how inner child work can help you to pause and reflect in order to create a better understanding of your suffering and heal the relationship with your ego. "A failure is an event; not a person. It's just something that happens. The way that we articulate events is usually to our detriment and it's where the ego reinforces its sense of inadequacy. Failure is just something we did or didn't do." - Peter Crone http://bit.ly/wfpodcast Whether we realize it or not - we exist within mental constructs. Albeit invisible, they dictate our thoughts, feelings, actions, and consequently results. All psychological problems, suffering, and unfulfilled desires are the byproduct of these invisible mental constraints. To create an extraordinary life, we have to both consciously reveal the current limiting frameworks of our perceived reality as well as create new contexts for an expanded existence. In order to realize our potential, it’s necessary to step outside of the world as we know it, which naturally brings with the new possibilities of an entirely new experience of oneself and life. Peter’s work breaks through these constraints and takes a mindset of surviving to one of thriving. Peter has worked with corporations, individuals, and athletes by offering them assistance as a Mind Coach in: 1-on-1 Coaching Intimate Conversations Digital Programs Corporate Speaking & Workshops Listen To Episode 199 As Peter Crone Uncovers: How he helps top performers be able to heal and trust others. His inspiration to ask others, "Is that true? Is the thought that you're thinking actually true?" How you can embrace your humanity and the capabilities you were born with. The currency of attention and how he decides what he needs to focus on. Issues with social media and 'liking' something and getting attention from others. How his parents' deaths lead him to isolation and dealing with the experience of physical separation. His own practice for emotional hygiene each day and his advice for others. Why yoga isn't about the physical aspect but rather the focus of self-realization. The 6 stages of disease and how he avoids it through emotional hygiene. How humans can be hoarders in their minds and what you can do to end it. Mental hoarding tendencies in professional players and how he helps them to deal with it. His experience working with the professional Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team. The relationship that he has with his own ego and his observations of professional athletes dealing with their egos. Inner child work practices that you can use in order to pause, reflect, and see the reality of your suffering. Why we suffer when we don't want things that are the way they are. How the everyday athlete can use emotional hygiene tools to improve their performance and life. Why living by only happiness or 'good vibes only' is impossible unless we do the actual inner work and we can choose our emotional state. What he's most excited about with working with professional baseball players. How he defines 'happiness' and why he prefers the word, 'joy.' His views on social media and why he isn't involved in it yet. Power Quotes From The Show "We can either focus on where we're seeking attention or where we're putting our actual attention. I put my attention on what I'm creating. I just don't think about what people think of me. I just know what I do and the difference I make." - Peter Crone http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "In terms of helping, I allow people to embrace their humanity. So, regardless of their abilities or talents, I help them to bridge the gap between this man-made, fabricated image that supersedes any human capacity and their humanity. Many people become so blown up by their ego that their downfall is them trying to sustain it which is just impossible." - Peter Crone "If you look at social media and the actual mechanism of 'liking' something, it's really saying, 'like me.' Talk about attention seeking! To me, that is a facet and an extension of the egoic part of a human being which by design is not liked, is not loved, and is not enough. So, here is this external validation which will never ever actually overcome the belief that 'I'm not that.' This is the catch; this is the addiction that we can never get enough of something that almost works. It doesn't matter if you have a million likes; you want to get 1.5 million likes because you're being driven by something that is inherently not something." - Peter Crone "The ego doesn't want to be healed; it wants to be held. By its design, the ego is an entity that we human beings have and its foundation is inadequacy, scarcity, and insecurity. These are just the qualities of the ego and if we can accept that, then we can be the bigger being and be aware of its presence in order to hold space for it. The ego is just like a child that needs to be held and hugged when it becomes upset. When the human adult has their woes and their sadness, they tend to judge and resist. That's where a lot of the suffering comes from." - Peter Crone "Suffering is resistance and resistance is suffering. When we don't want things that are the way they are, we're going to suffer. I have this intimate relationship with reality; I allow things to be what they are and simultaneously I consider myself the master of my own destiny. Not in an egotistical control way, but I am doing the best I can to generate, create, and design the life that I choose. It doesn't always work out but there's harmony in that." - Peter Crone "Even though it looked like my friend was experiencing sadness when she found out that her grandfather had passed away, to me, it was a reflection of love. That to me is freedom versus happiness on a positive scale. There's something beautiful about grief or missing somebody you love. That to me is the full gambit of human experience and that's joy. I'm not resisting any of my feelings; I'm allowing allow of my feelings to be shared." - Peter Crone Links From Today's Show Peter Crone YouTube Be Alive Workshops and Speaking Topics with Peter Crone Banyan Botanicals Byron Katie Heal Documentary Official Trailer Peter Crone on Living an Inspired Life 'Chief Inspirer' Peter Crone works his magic on Jacobson, Howell MLB Interview: JD Martinez and Mind Coach Peter Crone Mental approach raises Goldschmidt's game Paul Goldschmidt Doesn't Care If You Don't Know Who He Is Guinea Pig of Love: The Mind Architect Experiment Master Golf's Mental Game About Peter Crone Peter Crone is a thought leader in human potential and performance as well as the founder of Be Alive.

What's next for her including two upcoming films - Food Heals as well as Love Heals. Power Quotes From The Show [tweetthis]"Fitness or nutrition challenges can actually feed addictive personalities and perfectionism rather than help people create a healthier lifestyle. It's about finding a balance." - Allison Melody of @FoodHealsNation http://bit.ly/wfpodcast[/tweetthis] "Everyone's rock bottom is different, but it doesn't matter because once you hit that point, you finally realize that you have to make a change. My rock bottom was when my father was sick and I was afraid of losing him. What I realized through that process was that I could only change myself; I can't help someone else until they want to help themselves." - Allison Melody "Where are the lobbies for healthy, fresh food because right now we're in a space in which you have to follow the money and that's controlled by big pharmacy and agriculture companies. When those companies are controlling what you see, believe, and eat, then you don't know how to look outside the bubble that you're in. That's how it was for my parents and for so many people today. I want to help people break out of their bubble." - Allison Melody "When you do an elimination diet, you can see what your body is feeling better about. Many people don't realize that they may have specific sensitivities to foods like avocado. So, we may think we're doing something right by eating it, but then we feel ill because the body is sensitive to that particular food. Once you discover that, you can change your diet accordingly to your needs. Everyone's diet is different; even my dietary needs are totally different than yours." - Allison Melody "It didn't matter if I was drinking green juice every day, my emotions were reeking havoc on my body. These negative emotions can chronically lead to disease if we don't deal with them. So, I had to start dealing with them through a meditation practice, inner child work, therapy, and counseling. I had to discover all of these healing modalities for healing my emotions and feelings. When we feel our feelings, it creates space to release and heal. It creates more space for greater things in our lives and happiness. When we push it all down, that's the tragedy that may cause cancer before all of the processed food does." - Allison Melody "I'm also evolving in my own health journey. I've been able to overcome some of my own things and so can you. We're all always evolving, always changing, and always trying to improve ourselves. I'm constantly trying to better myself, get more knowledge, and be stronger in my convictions." - Allison Melody Links From Today's Show Allison Melody Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Food Heals Nation Facebook Twitter Instagram Food Heals Podcast Food Heals Nation Podcast episode 180 Katie Krimitsos Food Heals Documentary Melody Productions The New Media Summit The Beyond Burger Joel Salatin and Polyface Farm Proteinaholic The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith Immovable Heart Unstoppable Mind by David Zappasodi WFR 071 Melissa Hartwig WFR 129 Gretchen Rubin WFR 171 Liz Germain WFR 179 Josh Tickell About Allison Melody The topics she addresses through her work are powerful and heart-centered and focus on Holistic Health, Social Justice, Human Rights and Animal Rights.

Why he doesn't recommend taking nootropics every single day but doing a cycle that works for you. Power Quotes From The Show [tweetthis]"If you're doing something for the purpose of weight loss, you've failed. Weight loss should never be a goal. Your goal is to get healthy and weight loss is a consequence of the path you're following to get there." - @IronmanExecutiv of @theneurohacker http://bit.ly/wfpodcast[/tweetthis] "At Neurohacker Collective, we take a systems-based precision lifestyle medicine approach to optimize health. It's not about the disease model; it'as about optimizing the human state to first get it into homeostasis and then take it to the next level. We try to treat one piece of the whole puzzle rather than treating it all together." - Dr. Daniel Stickler "We're exposed to more information in one day than the people who lived during the late 1800s were exposed to in a 7 or 8 year period. That's how much information we're actually needing to process throughout a day. That amount of information requires a lot of metabolism in the brain. Think of the brain like a muscle; the more you use it, the more fatigued it gets and the more it uses up nutrients. Our brain is 20% of our daily metabolism but if you start doing a task, you're up-regulating that process. So, an entrepreneur's brain metabolism is really high and they're constantly running out of gas." - Dr. Daniel Stickler "Stress is not a bad thing at all. Stress can be an amazing factor for performance. However, when the stressor is removed, you want to be able to go back to the calm state to recharge and be able to go back at it again. We see a lot of people having a difficult time trying to go back to a state of calm baseline and gradually collect more stress throughout the day. That's when the decision fatigue sets in at the end of the day." - Dr. Daniel Stickler "If you're doing something for the purpose of weight loss, you've already failed. Weight loss is not a goal and it never should be a goal. Your goal is to get healthy. Weight loss is a consequence of the path you're following to get healthy. So, never look at anything as weight loss. That's the one thing I've learned from being a bariatric surgeon and a bariatrician. You can't do weight loss; it's just an automatic mindset failure from the beginning." - Dr. Daniel Stickler "When it comes to wellness, it doesn't matter if it's about upgrading the human system or improving cognitive performance. You can't just focus on one aspect of wellness. You have to look at the whole system of the human state and decide the pros and cons of upregulating something. Look at everything that you do and don't focus on. If you only focus on nutrition, but you're not also going to pay attention to exercise and sleep, then it's just not going to be a complete picture for the body." - Dr. Daniel Stickler Links From Today's Show Use Code "wellnessforce" to save an additional 15% off your Qualia MIND Dr. Daniel Stickler Twitter LinkedIn Neurohacker Collective Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest Apeiron Center for Human Potential Facebook Twitter YouTube Neurohacker Collective Blog Functional Guide to Neurohacking Apeiron Academy Wellness Force Facebook Live w/ Dr. Stickler Collective Insights Podcast What is unique about the science behind Qualia?

We have the opportunity to play with these different experiences such as being active, traveling, or connecting with each other. Life is like this giant jungle gym.

Power Quotes From The Show [tweetthis]"You don't bring the ego down. You bring your true self up and then the ego becomes less important. Acknowledge and identify with who you really are beyond the ego. Identify as that force of love as life itself." - @AubreyMarcus http://bit.ly/wfpodcast[/tweetthis] "We think there's a type of person that we're supposed to be and we have to 'slay all day' in order to get to the top. We have this idea of what it takes to be a man. So, we're always looking for something or someway to validate ourselves rather than to enjoy the experience. That's where you really run into a lot of trouble in any variety of ways and not just in the bedroom. You might also try to validate yourself in the gym, with your bank account, or a million other ways. The truth of the matter is that we're already valid." - Aubrey Marcus "The more you cling onto something, the more exhausting this entire life process becomes. We're meant to thrive. Our baseline is connection, enjoyment, love, physicality and all of these things that we were born with." - Josh Trent "There's a certain humility in expressing yourself to the fullest that people don't really look at. Sometimes we put on these airs and we don't really own our success which we call 'humility,' but it's actually more humble to just be authentic. Just be radically authentic. Express yourself when you mess things up, when you've killed it, and let the public opinion go whichever way they want. As long as you're genuinely authentic, you're not adding more to the negative or the positive and people will be able to identify with you and be able to support you in a much better way." - Aubrey Marcus "The only way to get out of this pattern of punishing yourself for your past transgressions is to radically forgive the past. Recognize that you're just human and if you could've done better, you would've done better. But you didn't have the right information and you weren't the type of person that you are today. You didn't have the training, knowledge, or experience. So, forgive that past person and stop punishing yourself for it. That way, you can actually apply self-love to yourself and open yourself back up to love and abundance from the universe instead of relentlessly punishing yourself for everything that you've done in the past." - Aubrey Marcus "You don't bring the ego down. You bring your true self up. You bring who you really are up and then the ego becomes less important. Acknowledge and identify with who you really are beyond the ego. Identify as that force of love as life itself. Express that force of presence and consciousness. Identify as that and allow the ego to just be along for the ride instead of identifying as the ego and then bringing your consciousness along for the unconscious ride that your ego is taking it on. You'll find it in the stillness and when you quiet your mind." - Aubrey Marcus Links From Today's Show Aubrey Marcus Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube LinkedIn Own The Day, Own Your Life by Aubrey Marcus Onnit Aubrey Marcus Podcast Today Is A Good Day To Die with Dr. Dan Engle - AMP #52 Go For Your Win Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Napoleon Hill You Are the Placebo by Dr. Joe Dispenza Mooji Baba Paul Selig Power vs. Force by David R.

195 Jordan Taylor Wright: How Self-Reflection & Meditation Manifests Success
The desire to tune into your body comes from wanting to feel good and discover what allows you to actually vibrate with this high frequency and become something greater than yourself. An amazing way to do that is through art. When I'm editing, filming, or taking photos, I am not operating from my ego; I'm allowing the light to pass through me and the same can happen to others when they're singing, writing, listening, or doing anything else creative. When you're singing, you're not thinking about singing; it's just flowing through you and your body is the tool that gets to be sung from. - Jordan Taylor Wright JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST 20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE How can being creative allow you to self-reflect, meditate, and feel your best every single day? In Wellness Force Radio episode 195, Director, Photographer, and Filmmaker of Taylor Cut Films, Jordan Taylor Wright, shares why he stopped focusing so much on wealth, what mindfulness techniques he practices every day, and how he was able to transition his mind, body, and soul to reach a higher emotional intelligence. Uncover why you've allowed yourself to be accustomed to not feeling good and what you can do to turn it around by practicing mirror work, writing a letter to your inner child, or observing the present moment through creativity. [tweetthis]"Allow yourself to be a conduit for creative movement. Hold that space, know what feels good, and live in that feeling. What you believe is what you truly are so if you believe you feel good, your external world will feel good." - @TaylorCutFilms http://bit.ly/wfpodcast[/tweetthis] Connect and learn more about Director, Photographer, and Filmmaker at Taylor Cut Films, Jordan Taylor Wright. Taylor Cut Films is a digital media and film production company that specializes in shooting and editing music videos, short films, live concerts, and commercials.

How you can feel your best self every day through art and being creative in any way you love. How you can trust that the future will be good rather than spending hours worrying about it. Why he was so focused on money during his 20s and what his thought patterns were like back then. How creating videos allowed him to express himself and positively affect people in a new way that was greater than his ego. Why your life is like watching a movie: you get to witness and be present with what is happening and see the beauty that's actually going on in the world. Why he created a video dedicated to Stephen Hawking after he passed away. His transition and approach to connecting his mind, body, and spirit for enhanced emotional intelligence. What you can do to open up and let go of hidden tension and stress within your body. How you can end your fears of death and not existing on this planet one day. Why you owe it to yourself to relax by meditating, being creative, and focusing on what is going on around you. Mirror work and why it's such an amazing practice to become more conscious. Whether or not we could potentially be living inside a video game or simulation. How you can get in better touch with yourself in this 4th dimension. What his book, Forever the Infinite Now, and his film, The Discovery of the Divine Consciousness, are about. The benefit of writing a letter to your inner child to let them know you care about them, love them and can give them grace. What he has overcome and how he continues to stay true to himself while being part of the Hollywood scene. Why we've become accustomed to not feeling good and what we can do to turn it all around. How writing about what emotions you're experiencing can help you observe, let go, and forget about them. What you can do to stay true to yourself and your intentions in order to live a life full of wellness. Power Quotes From The Show [tweetthis]"We are always changing and we are always this light that continues to move. Time doesn't exist; it's our perception of what's happening. Allow yourself to sit with the fact that we are nothing and everything at the same time." - @TaylorCutFilms http://bit.ly/wfpodcast[/tweetthis] "I included this quote by Stephen Hawking, 'If you're lucky enough to find love, remember it is rare and don't throw it away,' in my video because 'love' in this case isn't about finding love in another person. Simply loving someone will never fill you because we are everything and nothing at the same time. Once you're able to find a feeling of love whether that's through consciousness, the state of awareness, or meditation, hold onto that feeling and that will be your compass within your life. Every decision you make is based on that feeling of love." - Jordan Taylor Wright "There is a beauty that exists in pain because pain is fear and fear is just the ego's notion of not existing. Fear doesn't exist; fear comes from death and death doesn't exist; death is light. Light never dissipates; it travels forever and becoming enlightened means that you are in this state of knowing that you are light and that continues forever." - Jordan Taylor Wright "If you're trying to find yourself, you're going to be searching forever because there's nothing to 'find.' You don't have to already go searching for yourself because it's already there as stillness. When you allow yourself to be still, you're not reaching outward to control or reach for something. All of those are outward emotions, but being still is about tuning inward, being at the very base of who you are, and being okay with vulnerability." - Jordan Taylor Wright "Notice when you are feeling emotions and if you aren't able to rid yourself of the thoughts by witnessing and labeling them, be open to writing about what is happening. Within two to three minutes of writing what you're thinking, you're going to pause and forget why you were even feeling those emotions or thinking those thoughts in the first place. Be open to expressing your emotions as well; don't let them bubble up like a volcano. There's no weakness in crying; there is strength in expressing yourself." - Jordan Taylor Wright "Our wellness is our intention; we are our intention. So, remove that 'I' from 'Intention' and allow your intention to express and feel love. Know what your intention is when you're speaking and be true to what you're saying. Allow your intention to be truthful. If you are intending for your life to be well, happy, and full of love, then that's what your existence will be and that's what other's existence will be as well." - Jordan Taylor Wright Links From Today's Show Jordan Taylor Wright Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Taylor Cut Films Spotlight Interview With Filmmaker & Instagrammer, Jordan Taylor Wright of Taylor Cut Films The Art of Not Thinking With Jordan Taylor Wright We Are Infinite The Fable of the Awakened Child The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk The Present Process by Michael Brown Elon Musk: We're Probably Living in a Video Game Will AI Become Self-Aware?

More people are now changing their diet, exercising more, or getting into yoga and meditation. I truly see that as a growing trend." - Lisa Dougherty of @MedFitNet http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "I always felt like there was something that I was supposed to do with my life and I really do think it's my ability to bring people together. While my dad was ill, he was still my mentor and very supportive. There were many times when I wanted to give up because everything was so overwhelming, but he kept telling me, "You can't give up," and that mantra became a part of me." - Lisa Dougherty "I want to leave something behind that's greater than me. The MedFit Network is a very important project for me because I feel like I'm positioning myself to really influence and change a lot of people's lives in a positive way and improve their quality of life. We really need as much help as we can get because we're more obese and sicker than ever as a population right now." - Lisa Dougherty "The Internet and trying to figure out healthcare can be overwhelming. I really wanted to make MedFit Network be the go-to place for people. We have doctors who helped create this and we even have an entire medical advisory board who have come together to create this project. So, this is a trusted website and that's why we have 30 different medical and health organizations that all recommend MFN to people who need to get help." - Lisa Dougherty "Some people are becoming caregivers and they want to try to get in better shape and health to be able to take care of a parent. There are also older people who are being motivated to make changes in their life to spend better quality time with their grandkids. Then, we have the circle of aging people who want to retire, but they can't so they have to work longer and they're looking at trying to get healthier so they can do their job for more years. So, there are several different motivational factors that are pushing people out there to maybe do something that they might not have otherwise done. More people are now motivated to change their diet, do more exercise, or get into breathwork and meditation. I see that as a growing trend now." - Lisa Dougherty Links From Today's Show MedFit Network Facebook Twitter YouTube LinkedIn Lisa Dougherty Facebook LinkedIn Whole Body Fitness Lisa Dougherty in the news Lisa Dougherty's Certifications The Medical Fitness Network - A Community Health Resource MFN / WITS Webinar with MFN Founder Lisa Dougherty Why You Should Know About Medical Fitness and Lisa Dougherty Why Fitness Professionals Should Join the Medical Fitness Network Are You 3D Fit?
