Qualia’s formula expertly balances these desired abilities. [tweetthis]"At Neurohacker Collective, we take a systems-based precision lifestyle medicine approach to optimize health.

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?

New Tribal Construct and the different types of relationships we have with other people. How creating an ethos can allow you to become the person that you want to be. 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.

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?

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?

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?

When it comes to health, it's more collective than individual. You become a product of your environment and it's very easy to be healthy in these Blue Zone areas because that's the way of their life. We have to look at the situation of these healthier places and understand that their culture and societal norms facilitate health. That's easier to do when it's a small society because in a village, everyone has a responsibility and everyone is relying on each other so it's more like a family unit. It's more difficult to be healthy in the USA because you have to do all of the work on your own. We've gone astray as a culture because we've lost our sense of community and societal values due to technology. - Jason Prall What do other cultures have that the USA doesn't as far as increased human health, love, interaction, and longevity?

Discover what steps you can take to align the human brain with the soul to avoid chronic illness, increase your lifespan, and slow down the aging process.  [tweetthis]"The body used to be active while the mind was still. We cannot be healthy unless our outer environment is healthy. Everything that we do to the environment, we are doing to ourselves. It is a mirror and we can't escape it." - @JasonPrall of @LongeviTFilm http://bit.ly/wfpodcast[/tweetthis] THE HUMAN LONGEVITY PROJECT Click here to order The Human Longevity Project 9-hour documentary film series. The Human Longevity Project is an upcoming documentary film series that will take you on an exciting journey around the globe, on a mission to discover the secrets of the longest-lived and healthiest populations on Earth. Filmed over 2 years, in over 50 locations, in 9 countries, on 3 continents, this film will uncover the key lifestyle, environmental, and physiological components to avoid chronic disease, increase health span, and put the brakes on aging in our modern world. Featuring interviews from premier scientists, physicians, healers, and health experts – along with real-world footage from around the globe, we examined the daily routines and lifestyle practices that range from preconception to geriatrics, with much more observational and scientific scrutiny than ever before. We will scientifically demonstrate the recipe of a long, healthy life – and how to apply these lessons in our modern environment. At a time when populations of industrialized societies are seeing collective health, quality of life, and the health of the environment decline rapidly, the scientific information and lifestyle practices highlighted in this documentary are absolutely essential to reversing these recent trends and shifting the entire paradigm of chronic disease and destruction of the environment. In the last 70 years, the modern world has taken a turn for the worse. Our food, water, air, and soil have been decimated by toxic chemicals and metals. Our atmosphere is blanketed in electromagnetic radiation. Chronic mental and emotional stress has become the norm – and our society is fixated on the technological connection while authentic community dissolves.   Listen To Episode 192 As Jason Prall Uncovers: How creating the film, The Human Longevity Project, helped him both grow emotionally and increase his awareness. What similarities and differences they noticed between these various Blues Zones cultures that attributed to longevity in Sardinia, Italy; Okinawa, Japan; Ikara, Greece; Loma Linda, California; and Nicoya, Costa Rica. How you can train the human brain to be aligned with the soul. Why it's not worth it to spend your time stressed and worried about the future when you don't even know what will happen to you.  What you should be truly focusing on as an adult in order to really enjoy life. Why your first 25 years of life are the foundation of your health and wellness. What challenges and struggles other people have faced around the world from experiencing war first hand to poverty. The cultural differences he experienced in these Blue Zones compared to what society is like in the USA. What similarities and differences they noticed between these various Blue Zone cultures that attributed to their longevity. How our culture around food in the USA  has changed and affected our lives.  Why our lifestyle as a society in the USA isn't sustainable. The factors that play in the decline of human health, love, interaction, and longevity.  The shift in younger generations and how it's creating societal problems. The importance of bringing functional movement into our every day lives to step away from the Internet and get back to the real world. What he's learned from 5 different cultures about living a long life full of health, love, and interaction. Why understanding what mitochondria and microbiota are: What guides their function plus why they are key to your health and longevity. What is known and not known about genetic expression and how that affects your metabolism when you eat certain foods.

Power Quotes From The Show [tweetthis]"People are going on these digital detox retreats to try to get back to a normal state of mind. We've gone so far off track that we've forgotten what it's like to connect and technology has propelled us in that direction." - @JasonPrall of @LongeviTFilm http://bit.ly/wfpodcast[/tweetthis] "We fear a future that hasn't even happened yet and we don't know what the outcome is going to be like. Literally, what you do, think, and feel today is what's going to create that fear. So, the longer you sit with that fear, there's a higher chance that those emotions are going to manifest within you and you'll become them. Just reflecting and becoming aware of your emotions will allow you to let go of your fears and let you see how silly they are really are." - Jason Prall "We've created a culture where we're constantly criticizing, comparing, and judging one another. When we look at Facebook and Instagram, who feels confident anymore? Not many people because we're constantly being compared to everybody else and criticized through social media and the Internet. I think we've lost a lot of confidence in who we are and we don't know how to find out who we are because we've lost meaning in our society and culture. We're looking for meaning in the wrong places." - Jason Prall "At the end of the day, these regions and Blue Zones don't matter. Regions don't create longevity; it's what people are doing that builds a healthy lifestyle and we have to learn these same qualities. These places that are known for their longevity aren't going to be known for that 20 years from now. They're going downhill fast and there's a reason that has nothing to do with where they live; there's nothing special about it other than the humans that live there and the decisions they make to live their life." - Jason Prall "Health is innate and it's built within you. Your body is meant to be healthy and we have to start to facilitate that function. We have to allow that to occur and get out of the way a little bit. We have to get out of this mindset that health is all about results and we can only be happy when we reach a goal. If we are constantly focused on the end product and the results in order to feel fulfilled and happy, we're going to run into trouble. First, you have to accept that you decide your happiness; not anybody else. It's literally your decision and if you're not happy right now, that's your choice. " - Jason Prall "Being healthy is very simple, but we make it complex. The process can be difficult to get there, but the answers are easy. We just have to let our guard down and get out of our own way so we're not making being healthily complicated for ourselves. There aren't any shortcuts to getting healthy either. Every time we take a shortcut, we're missing an opportunity. A quick fix sounds amazing, but most people end up broken again and they still end up being unhappy.

Words are a mirror to our subconscious. So, when you hear me say, 'I want to write a book,' you can see that written on my soul like it's my purpose. However, I have a big problem when the next words that come out of my mouth are, "but I'm not a writer," because those words are also a mirror to my subconscious. Those negative words are revealing that somewhere and somehow, I have a belief that does not support me ever reaching that goal of becoming a writer. To change that belief, I need to invest in myself. - Mary Shores How can you stop your negative thought patterns in order to rewrite your story and live life to its fullest? JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE On Wellness Force Radio episode 191, thought leader, motivational speaker, and author of Conscious Communications, Mary Shores, shares why your words and thoughts hold so much significance in your overall wellbeing. As you listen, you will be equipped with the tools and strategies to uncover your subconscious thoughts, rebuild your neural network, and plant new seeds of beliefs about yourself. Discover how you can cleanse your mind in order to get back into alignment with the life that you deserve. "Our words are actually a way of self-programming our sub-conscious mind and that's where the real power is." - @mary_shores http://bit.ly/wfpodcast Conscious Communications Get your own copy of Conscious Communications by Mary Shores Whether we realize it or not, the words we use dictate and control our lives. The persistent messages we repeat can frame our thoughts and trap us into a mindset that is difficult to break. This mindset often manifests itself with statements like “I can’t,” “I’m not good enough,” and “I’ll never find the [insert the blank] I want.” Many times, we don’t stop to consider the profound impact that these negative, limiting words have on our mentality, life choices, and the path of possibility that we manifest. After gathering years of research and personal experience with how words affect individuals mentally and emotionally, business owner and communications specialist Mary Shores realized that there is a life-changing theme persistent throughout ancient traditions and spiritual foundations that are supported by scientific professionals. They all agree on one recurring truth: Words have the power to create and transform. Mary took her discoveries and created easy-to-follow, step-by-step practices that can transform each area of your life. Based on two decades of research, Mary teaches how you can create new neural pathways simply by changing your words.

With thoroughly tested exercises, research, advice, and personal stories, you will begin to experience the tremendous impact of words and how to utilize the right ones to unleash and unlock the power to create a new reality. Listen To Episode 191 As Mary Shores Uncovers: The power of language and the words that we use - how do they hold so much significance in our bodies and minds? Why what we say can reveal a lot about our subconscious thoughts. What drove her to study the Hebrew language and what she has learned about the power of words from her studies. How you can get out of your negative thinking and actually take action to accomplish what you want to do with your life. How you can build a new neural network by planting new seeds of beliefs in your mind. The effect that this modern world has on us by bombarding us with loads of stress and causing us to be more unhappy than ever. How complaining out loud actually keeps us stuck in a negative mind frame compared to if we speak positive thoughts. The healthy boundary between getting rid of negative thoughts and spiritual bypassing. What she disagrees with when it comes to positive psychology vs. personal growth development. How overcoming difficult obstacles in life allows us to receive the gifts of resilience, integrity, and character building. Tragic events that happened in her life and how she was able to overcome them. Whether or not events are neutral and if it's up to you to decide how they impact your life. What drove her to the success that she has today and whether that was from her pain or her love. How her negative energy was directly affecting her colleagues and how she was able to end that disconnection to build better relationships with them.

Power Quotes From The Show "When you take steps in the direction that you want, you're actively thinking about it and envisioning the end result in your mind. In everything you're doing, you're either moving towards what you want or you're moving further away." - @mary_shores http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "I have always believed that science and spirituality are talking about the same thing, but they're using two different languages. People don't need another Law of Attraction book. With my book, I wanted to teach people how they can take control of their own lives because the reality is that everything we say or do and every action we take or choice we make in the thinnest sliced moment of life is actually building our life like a set of Legos. The tiniest choices really make the biggest difference in our lives. Once you understand that, it's not even about the Law of Attraction anymore." - Mary Shores "When you plant a new seed in your mind, you can feed that seed to help it grow into new neural networks that will replace the old ones. Somehow we've been led to believe that when we create a new network, it takes years of psychotherapy and you have to rewrite old beliefs. What I've found to be true is that all I have to do is just stop feeding those old beliefs and plant the seeds of new beliefs, water them, and let them grow." - Mary Shores "We have to understand that the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves become our identity. So, if we're constantly feeding the tragic stories of our lives, I don't know how that's going to serve us other than to strengthen that neural network in our mind that keeps us turning into a victim versus understanding that the most beautiful part in each of our stories is how we moved on."  - Mary Shores "I've learned this ability to turn tragedy into triumph. I don't allow myself to feel defeated by my circumstances and I don't stay in that mindset for very long. When I evaluate a personal tragedy, I ask myself, 'How has this benefited me? How has this strengthened me? What do I have in my life that I wouldn't have had I not gone through that experience?' "  - Mary Shores "If 80% of the time you are making cleansing, connecting choices, I guarantee you that within about 45 days, you're going to start shaping a different life around you. You will start to become more aware of everything that's swirling around you like opportunities that may have been there the whole time. You didn't notice them before, but now you feel ready to take action because you're setting this foundation of always moving towards what you desire."  - Mary Shores Links From Today's Show Mary Shores Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest LinkedIn Conscious Communications by Mary Shores Free Conscious Communications Guidebook Priming Our Brains to Evolve with Mary Shores The Key to Turning Off Your Autopilot by Mary Shores Fearless Ambition Facebook Group Mike Dooley Abraham - Hicks Law of Attraction The Secret A Bronx Tale with Chazz Palminteri Heartline | The Monroe Institute Tony Robbins WFR 179 Josh Tickell About Mary Shores Mary Shores is the author of Conscious Communications: A Step-by-Step Guide to Harnessing the Power of Your Words to Change Your Mind, Your Choices, and Your Life.

Power Quotes From The Show "Don't force the trim. We don't want you to solely focus on trimming or forcing the healthy part of Trim Healthy Mama. Healthy weight loss needs to take its own good time." - Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett of @TrimHealthyMama http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "I was obsessed with being healthy and being that strict actually wasn't allowing me to be healthy. I now realize that I made a lot of errors and I had no freedom in how I was living my life. Pearl taught me how to relax and because of that, I was able to regain my health. I used to have full on adrenal fatigue and I was becoming so sick until I started to just relax a bit more." - Serene Allison "As women, we obsess with being healthy because we also have a lot of insecurities thanks to the perfection portrayed in magazines. This perfection that we think we have to obtain in order to have security and to be enough for somebody, it doesn't have to be this way. You're already enough for who you are. We all have a duty to feel healthy and alive, but we don't have to reach for what's impossible." - Serene Allison "We find that with women, whether they're nursing, pregnant, or trying to lose weight, protein is key. It's important for substance and to be able to keep that blood sugar under control. Eating enough protein will help you feel satiated until the next meal without wanting to go for the Goldfish crackers." - Pearl Barrett "We aren't designed to protect ourselves. We're designed to give, give, and give. We all try our best to live healthy lifestyles, but if we solely focus on that and don't balance it out by giving to others, then we're not doing enough. I feel like we're not really celebrating the bodies that we have that are able to go through difficult moments and sacrifices unless we're willing to give to others." - Serene Allison  "I don't have to naturally be anxious or nervous. The scripture says, 'Take every thought captive.' Our thoughts are speaking to us all day and my negative thoughts about the future were constantly wearing down on my health. I realized that the way I think becomes who I am. So, now I take those thoughts captive and I don't allow them to come in and affect my way of life. My body is here to be healed and I am worthy of treating myself with respect and love." - Pearl Barrett Links From Today's Show  Trim Healthy Mama Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest Trim Healthy Mama Podcast Trim Healthy Mama Facebook Group Trim Healthy Mama eZine Trim Healthy Mama by Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett Trim Healthy Mama Plan by Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett Trim Healthy Mama Table by Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook by Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett Trim Healthy Mama Online Store Trim Healthy Mama: Serene & Pearl in China Does Food Really Have a Vibration?

The example she's putting out for the world of volleyball right now. Differences between indoor and outdoor volleyball and why she chose outdoor volleyball. What it was like to grow up in an environment heavily focused on athletics. What fascinates her about wellness as a pro athlete. What posture issues she was experiencing before she started using Intelliskin and met Tim. The various injuries and forms of pain she has experienced and still feels. How she sets up her mindset whenever she experiences an injury. Why she's so vocal about her love of video games. What it means to be fearlessly authentic despite what other people believe. The example she's setting for teenagers, young adults, and future generations. How she remains true and centered in her beliefs around social media. What sports can teach us about life and how it drives us to improve and refine our character. How taking a breath and singing a song in her head helps calm her down and get rid of the negative voices in her mind. Her strong Christian faith and how that impacts how she sees life. How she gets over bad habits and picks up on new skills. How parents can instill this passion in sports and athletics in their children's interests. How she uses gaming as a way to recover, decompress, and recharge. Power Quotes From The Show "I fell in love with outdoor beach volleyball because it's just you and one other person on the court. The chemistry that goes into a partnership is so important. It's so vital to know that other person both on and off the court." - @kellyclaes3 http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "Any type of a rotational athlete that's unilateral - a pitcher, quarterback, or volleyball player, there are inherent dangers to only playing with one side of your body. Whether right handed or left handed, we use one side of the body differently than the other. So, I encourage all my athletes to be ambidextrous and use both sides of their body because the body will become more balanced that way." - Dr. Tim Brown  "My love of video games is what makes me 'me' and I think everybody's interests are different and whatever you love, you speak more passionately about, you do better at it, and those are the things that you should advocate for and do. Don't try to be anybody else. If you see somebody else being successful in a field, but it's not your passion, then don't try to copy them just because they're doing it. Do what you love." - Kelly Claes "It's just a matter of taking the imbalances that volleyball creates and that life has created in Kelly and testing her body through movement methods that allow me to understand what's been overused and overstretched versus what's been underused and undertoned. In the areas that are underused and undertoned, I create length and circulation to allow Kelly and others like her to move towards that symmetry that we never, ever reach." - Dr. Tim Brown  "Being fearlessly authentic means becoming comfortable with yourself. It is recognizing that you are unique and your path is unique. Most people don't want to walk down the same path that others have walked before so they choose to be bold and take a different approach to things and that's what we need to celebrate with future generations. That's what's going to help us grow as a community." - Dr. Tim Brown "It didn't really click with me until I was a Junior at the university that there were a lot more factors to wellness. I would wear the Intelliskin a lot to study and to get my posture in check, but I didn't really think about food as a huge factor or how sleep and recovery can greatly affect your performance. There are so many little nuances to wellness and I began to integrate that focus into my life." - Kelly Claes Links From Today's Show Kelly Claes Facebook Twitter Instagram Dr. Tim Brown Facebook LinkedIn Intelliskin Facebook Twitter Instagram IntelliSkin & Wellness Force Partnership USC Women's Beach Volleyball - Kelly Claes Team USA - Kelly Claes SANDCAST No. 3: It’s finally (finally) video-game season for Kelly Claes Sara Hughes & Kelly Claes: Set to Become The Next Superstars of Beach Volleyball Stand Up Tall: IntelliSkin Posture Apparel Put to the Test Why Intelliskin?

We spend 93% of our time under artificial light; that's probably not a good thing, right? When we look at our ancestors who spent all their time outside, it makes sense that artificial light isn't healthy for us. So, the first thing you should do isn't' go buy a product like ours. Instead, go outside and get more natural sunlight; become more aware of how natural light is good for your body. Even if you're outside for just 5-10 minutes, you'll notice a difference in how you feel. If you don't notice it, then maybe you should invest in a light therapy device. - Scott Nelson  JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE How can light therapy bring so many wonderful benefits to your overall health and wellness?

How light therapy can help improve men's testosterone levels and key benefits for women. How Joovv is more like a longevity tool than a skin tool. Why red light? Why not purple or amber? What's so beneficial of using red light? Are we getting enough natural light? How much are we actually consuming? Mitochondria function and health -  how light therapy can help it improve.

What's the time limit for using Joovv per light therapy session? How close can you be to the device? Power Quotes From The Show "At its core, photobiomodulation is photons of light or certain wavelengths of light and studying how our bodies metabolize them and the different physiological inner workings of how we digest and metabolize light. Light is food. Photobiomodulation essentially allows your cells to do what they're supposed to be doing but at a heightened level. " - Scott Nelson "These specific wavelengths of light are helping our cells produce more energy. That's why photobiomodulation has such a long list of benefits. It's so extensive that it almost sounds too good to be true, but all of these benefits like skin health, muscle recovery, joint pain relief, cognitive function and more are all supported by peer-reviewed clinical literature." - Scott Nelson  "When people are researching about skin health, they might have this vanity concern. Even though this vanity concern exists, photobiomodulation is really more of a longevity and cellular health tool. If you chase the healthy behaviors and you actually do the things that fill you up from a physical and emotional space, the vanity concerns will be a by-product. However, if you only chase the vanity, your results are going to be limited." - Josh Trent   "At Joovv, we fundamentally believe that everybody should be getting more sunlight. Something like our device is a great hack, but everybody should be getting more natural sunlight. Unfortunately, it's just something that's harder to do in a climate like Minnesota's or the upper Midwest in general." - Scott Nelson  Links From Today's Show Scott Nelson LinkedIn Joovv Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest Medsider Radio Ben Greenfield on Joovv in Men's Health How To Triple Your Testosterone Production With Red Light How Does RED LIGHT Impact Arthritis & Joint Pain?

I want everyone to see themselves as designers of their own lives because that's truly what we're doing. We're co-creating this reality and we're all an active part of it. Essentially, there are two types of people: designers and those who are still struggling with the concept. Brain science is really how your brain works and why it does what it does whereas design thinking focuses more on the future. Design thinking is what we can become and what we can transform ourselves into. - Dr. Kyra Bobinet JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE Do you want to change in some way, shape or form, but you're too comfortable fitting a specific mold of other people's expectations? In Wellness Force Radio 183, CEO and Founder of engagedIN, Author of Well Designed Life, and teacher of health engagement at the Stanford School of Medicine, Dr. Kyra Bobinet, shares how we can all live a well-designed life. As you listen to this episode, you will learn all about how to become a designer of your own life, your unique connection between the heuristic link and self-image, and how you can set yourself up for a future self that will thank your past self. Learn how your current self can live up to the expectations of your future self and how to create a life you will love.  Get Your Copy of Well Designed Life Click here to get your copy of Well Designed Life by Dr. Kyra Bobinet     I know what I should do...I just don't know why I don't do it."   This phrase captures a universal human experience--we can't always get ourselves to do what we know is best for us. In Well Designed Life, you will learn that the solution to this stumbling block resides in coupling two disciplines: brain science and design thinking. Brain and behavior sciences have exploded in recent years. This catalyzes new insights into why we do what we do--and how we can change.   Meanwhile, major advances in consumer technology, service industries, and public health are rapidly changing how we live. This boom of innovation has been fueled by a creative approach to solving problems called design thinking. We are living in the age of design--and designers are the new rock stars.   Dr. Kyra Bobinet brings together over 25 years of successfully designing interventions, products, and experiences that change lives--to empower you as the designer of your life. Dr. Bobinet has gathered her top ten key concepts from psychology, behavior, and neuroscience and shows you how to apply each of them to change your health, relationships, and well-being. Bobinet insists that the success or failure of changing our lives hinges on both understanding what's going on inside our head and applying the flexible mindset of a designer.   You have a choice: design your life or let it design you!   Infused with relatable narratives that are at once witty and gripping, professional and personal, Bobinet takes you on a journey through the origins of your self-image, motivations, decisions, and unconscious behaviors--leaving you with the keys to free yourself from your conditioning and lead a well-designed life. Listen To Episode 183 As Dr. Kyra Bobinet Uncovers: Her book, Well Designed Life, and the process she went through to write it. How she defines behavior change and how you can change your own behavior for the long-term. The difference between brain science and design thinking. The connection between the heuristic link and self-image plus their connection to behavior change. The difference between fast brain and slow brain; intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation; inspiration vs. motivation; and stable motivation vs. unstable motivation. How she was able to design her own life in order to step into her own for her family. Her unconscious stress and how her poor eating habits caused by the heuristic link affected her health. How she was able to apply design thinking to her life after facing various health concerns. Her advice for listeners to take the first steps towards redesigning their lives and how iteration actually helped her scenario. What the habenula is and how it functions as the record keeper of all your failures. What her narrative was in the past versus now in the present. How you can build the mindset of a designer and ignore the habenula. Why self-love is an excellent companion to your mindset and behavior. Your current self vs. your past self vs. your future self and how you can design your life around them accordingly. Why the A-Type personality and high performers have such a tight relationship between the past self and future self. Why the self-image of the future self is so important in moments of decision making. Why relapse should be recognized as a critical stage for behavior change and how you can face it. How suffering helps us either become more flexible or take on the role of the victim. How gaining emotional intelligence can truly strip you of your ego. What practical steps you can take after listening to this episode. Power Quotes From The Show "Our brains are super lazy and it wants to make everything a shortcut. So, the way you get ready in the morning is a heuristic. All those automatic, heuristic actions are meant to conserve energy so we can live our lives on autopilot for most things that we repeat every day. So, when you are exhausted or stressed, you're most likely going to use your fast brain and heuristics to get through decision-making moments. But the more you can think ahead and put the slow brain into action when scheduling your week, the more powerful your thinking is so that you don't have to make things up as you go through the week." - Dr. Kyra Bobinet "As a mother, I was unconsciously stressed so I would automatically go buy a chai latte every single day and I wouldn't burn it off because I was working on a laptop all the time. Having that warm, comforting drink of a tiny shot of caffeine with a huge amount of sugar really got me going in the morning and that was my treat to myself. But I wasn't doing any long-term thinking; this was my short-term reward. The brain is very good at short-term rewards and going through these dopamine cycles and it really kicked me into this addiction of chai lattes." - Dr. Kyra Bobinet  "The previous part of me didn't know that I had to design my life. Back then, I knew what I should have done, but I didn't know why I wasn't doing it and I didn't have a how to do it. What I notice between people who can design their behavior and those who cannot is that the people who can don't have to spend a year in frustrating feedback looks and constantly feeling bad about themselves for not doing what they know they should do." - Dr. Kyra Bobinet "The habenula in our brain basically tracks our failures. If we fail at something, we won't want to try it again because the habenula down regulates our motivation to try it again. The only way to get around the habenula is to iterate and to think that the story that you tell yourself is 'I'm just figuring it out. That's my job.' Not to do it, but to figure out how to do it." - Dr. Kyra Bobinet "Your self-image is the filter of everything you do and don't do. We just don't always know in the moment which self-image is governing. Is it the self-image of myself as this fiery and healthy person or as an overweight kid? We're constantly in the midst and struggle of different self-images. In the end, it’s really the self-image of the future self that is going to matter when the time comes. - Dr. Kyra Bobinet Links From Today's Show Dr. Kyra Bobinet Facebook Twitter YouTube LinkedIn Change Training Center  engagedIN Facebook Twitter Instagram Well Designed Life Course Well Designed Life by Dr. Kyra Bobinet Stanford School of Medicine Healing by Design: Kyra Bobinet, MD, MPH Mindfulness-based stress reduction Food Decision-Making: Effects of Weight Status and Age Habenula: Crossroad between the Basal Ganglia and the Limbic System Tao Te Ching Laurence Gonzales BJ Fogg WFR 048 Nir Eyal WFR 088 Dan Pardi About Dr. Kyra Bobinet When it comes to health engagement, Dr. Kyra Bobinet has 5 words of advice: be caring, authentic, and useful.
