Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

We can use fitness technology as a tool for cueing, learning, and sensing instead of as a taskmaster that stresses us out. - Dr. Andy Galpin JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST Join us on Wellness Force Radio 134 as Dr. Andy Galpin helps us find balance in our modern world and understand both the values and the limitations of technology in fitness, performance, and overall wellness. Andy's insights will help us slow down and navigate our digital landscape in a healthier way.

Listen To Episode 134 As Andy Uncovers: Understanding the value and the limitations of technology in fitness, performance, and overall wellness How to navigate the information overload in our digital terrain The stressors that are necessary for our health and human development Learning to avoid the common mistakes that people make with wearables and wellness apps Developing a healthy relationship with modern technology and social media Ways to improve our intuition and level of consciousness Strategies to reduce the amount of pain and suffering in the body New technologies that are helping us reduce physical stress How beneficial technology is helping us discover emotional inteligence Using technology to get us over the initial humps of behavior change Why over time, gamification will lose its potency for motivation Using wearables to help calibrate our physical intuition and awareness How to take the data from our technology and design a strategy for better wellness Why we shouldn't circumvent problems and deeper issues through bio-hacking How the CRISPR technology can manipulate our genetic structure Power Quotes From Dr. Galpin "There is no such thing as truth in the biological and medical fields, only a lack of perspective." - Dr. Andy Galpin "We must develop our ability to become more aware of what's going on in the body." - Dr. Andy Galpin "We shouldn't use biohacking as a temporary solution to circumvent our problems."- Dr. Andy Galpin "When we only focus on optimization, we miss out on adaptation." - Dr. Andy Galpin Dr. Andy Galpin: "Unplugged" In the first quarter of 2016, Americans bought 19.7 million fitness wearables, an increase of 67 percent over the previous year. By 2020, the global market for fitness-focused apps and devices is expected to grow to $30 billion. This means that more than ever, we’re looking at our wrists not only to check the time, but also to see how much we’ve moved, monitor our heart rate, and see how we’re stacking up against yesterday’s tallies. Our technology addiction has made us lose connection with what's going on around us. This is bad enough in the gym, but when we get outside, the constant checking of a tiny screen truly wreaks havoc, downgrading what should be a rich experience into yet another task we need to complete to meet our daily goals. And if we fall short, we feel inadequate. There’s also the issue of data inaccuracy, with many device makers now admitting that their gadgets provide only estimates. So why do we continue to obsess over data and treat it as gospel truth? Unplugged provides a blueprint for using technology to meet your health and performance goals in a much smarter way. In addition to sharing the performance expertise of Brian Mackenzie and the scientific insight of Dr. Andy Galpin, Unplugged features exclusive stories and advice from elite athletes and world-renowned experts like Laird Hamilton, Tim Ferriss, Kai Lenny, Kelly Starrett, Steven Kotler, Erin Cafaro, Lenny Wiersma, Dr. Frank Merritt, and Brandon Rager. Order The Book On Amazon "The Body of Knowledge" Podcast The Body of Knowledge is a serialized podcast featuring stories from the intersection of science and fitness. Each story is born in a conversation about quality of life and incubates until it can grow into actionable insight. The show is hosted by former comedian and lifelong human performance coach, Kenny Kane and Professor of Exercise Physiology at CSUF, Andy Galpin. The show is produced in volumes and the chapters of each volume are released weekly. Listen To The Podcast About Andy Galpin Andy is a tenured Professor in the Center for Sport Performance at CSU Fullerton. He was born and raised in beautiful Rochester, WA and is a die-hard Seahawks, Huskies, & Mariner fan. RIP Sonics. As a youth, Andy played every sport at his disposal, excelling at Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Track & Field. While not playing, he worked at grocery stores, gas stations, hay fields, blueberry farms, and in the road construction business. It was during this time he discovered Strength & Conditioning. Andy took his limited talents to Linfield College to join their Football team and pursue a degree in Exercise Science. While he experienced great success in both (2004 National Championship and 2x Captain and immediate inductee into the "All Ugly" Team), the true reward of this time was the meeting of lifelong friend (Doug Larson). The two fed each other's pursuit of knowledge of human performance and led them to attend the University of Memphis for the Masters degrees in Human Movement Sciences. A bit of luck and excellent faculty mentoring led Doug and Andy to meet Mike Bledsoe and the man formally known as "Barbell Buddha" Chris Moore - all of which later led to the creation of the #1 Health & Fitness Podcast in the world Barbell Shrugged. It also marked the start of Andy's competitive Weightlifting (culminating in his 7th Place finish in the 2007 National Championships), Mixed Martial Arts, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu careers. Needing to know more about muscle, Andy spent 4 years studying the structure and function of human skeletal muscle at the single cell level, a feat which earned him a PhD in Human Bioenergetics in 2011. This also resulted in the friendship with frequent collaborator Dr. Jimmy Bagley and the ability to open up his own "Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory" at CSU Fullerton.

Six basic movements - the squat, deadlift, lunge, push, pull and twist - use all of the body's major muscles. And, more important, they use those muscles in coordinated action, the way they were designed to work. The New Rules of Lifting, now in paperback and with more than one hundred photographs, gives you more than a year's worth of workouts based on these six basic movements. Whether you're a beginner, an experienced lifter looking for new challenges, or anything in between, you can mix and match the workouts to help you get bigger, stronger and leaner. In addition, the comprehensive nutritional information provided makes The New Rules of Lifting a complete guide to reaching all your goals.

"Part of our job as adults is learning how to reparent our inner child." - Christine Hassler Even after challenging times in life when it seems nearly impossible to recover, bouncing back from upsets and failures is still possible. When our expectations are met and things go according to plan, we feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. But when life throws us a curveball or does not live up to our desired outcome, we end up with what Christine calls an "Expectation Hangover." If we take the steps to fully treat our disappointment on the emotional, physical, and spiritual level, we gain courage and can make room for the kind of unexpected things that lead us to a life we love. Join us on Wellness Force Radio 132 as we welcome best-selling author, keynote speaker, and television host, Christine Hassler. She shares her incredible journey of helping others find emotional wellness along with her book "Expectation Hangover: Overcoming Disappointment in Work, Love, and Life."

Although it seems challenging, we can choose to focus on empowering thoughts which will lead to different actions. Doing this will awaken the parts of ourselves that we have forgotten and point our lives in the direction we desire. Our happiness and fulfillment can't be conditional upon something in the future. When we rely on imagined future events to make us happy, this causes stress and disappointment in the present. But if we start to realize that everything we need is inside of us right now, we can enjoy each day and embrace our journey of self-discovery. We have to practice turning down the voice of the inner critic. Being overly hard on ourselves is not an effective form of motivation and beating ourselves up will make the things we are going through that much harder to deal with. Power Quotes From Christine Hassler "Our outer experience is often a reflection of our inner reality." - Christine Hassler @ChristinHassler - http://bit.ly/2xS7gGt "My job as a life coach is to help people identify whats in the way between where they are and where they want to be." - Christine Hassler "There will always be that little kid inside of us. Part of our job as an adult is learning how to reparent that child." - Christine Hassler "My primary responsibility is to evolve my own consciousness." - Christine Hassler "It's a grand illusion that we're alone and separate. It's been forgotten that we're completely connected to source and to each other." - Christine Hassler "Our outer experience is always a reflection of our inner reality." - Christine Hassler "It's resisting our emotions that creates our anxiety." - Christine Hassler "I like being a human detective and helping people put the pieces of their life together." - Christine Hassler Links From Today's Show: Christine Hassler: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Youtube Christine Hassler: The Expectation Hangover Christine on the "Fit2Fat2Fit" Podcast Christine's "Awakened" Facebook Post Aubrey Marcus Onnit Wim Hof Breathing Exercises Christine on "The Joe Rogan Experience" Podcast Adam Carolla "The Man Show" TLC's "The Spouse House" Dr. Laura Christine's Book: "Expectation Hangover" When our expectations are met and things go according to plan, we feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. Risking little, we feel safe, in control, and on-track. But when life throws us a curveball or does not live up to our expectations, we end up with an Expectation Hangover. This particular brand of discomfort is profoundly sobering and uncomfortable. Christine Hassler urges us to not wallow in regret, self-recrimination, or anger, and instead see these hangovers as a catalyst for profound transformation. Often life has to throw us a curveball (or several) so that we look in a different direction. When we fully treat our Expectation Hangover on the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual level, we learn courage, faith, surrender, and love, and we make room for the kind of unexpected things that lead us more directly to a life we love—rather than a life we planned.

Building a strong and healthy physique requires more than simply adjusting our diet and exercise. On this episode, fitness instructor Drew Manning shares his journey and book "Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit: The unexpected lessons from gaining and losing 75 lbs on purpose." JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST To better understand his client's struggles with weight loss, Drew gained and lost 75 lbs within 1 year. His challenge proved there is much more to transforming our bodies than just knowing what to do. It also requires a degree of mental and emotional fitness to take action and follow through with our plan. Join us on Wellness Force Radio 131 as Drew Manning tells his story of going from "Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit," and his mission to show others that it's possible to get back into shape.   Listen To Episode 131 As Drew Uncovers: The experience of growing up with 10 siblings and how this impacted his health and fitness Why he decided to gain over 70 lbs to better understand his client's struggles The emotional hardships of putting on excess weight How stress can impact our lifestyle and wellness Why developing mental and emotional fitness will help us overcome physical challenges The power of owning our story and being vulnerable How to navigate the feelings of stress and overwhelm The importance of having a daily gratitude practice How to cross the chasm between where we are and where we want to be Ways to draw on support from our friends, family, and community How to use meditation for overcoming decision fatigue Why the industry is so focused on the Ketogenic diet How to make a smooth transition into Ketosis and avoid the "Keto Flu" Top 3 Takeaways From The Episode We develop certain eating habits as children that can stay with us as we age. Although it's difficult to break the cycle of unhealthy eating, we can learn to enjoy fueling our body in a more nutritious way. Begin to focus on all of the benefits that come from living a healthy and energetic lifestyle. Keeping those thoughts front of mind will help us make better choices with our nutrition. Developing more discipline will have a massive impact on what we accomplish in our lifetime.  We can begin doing this with small actionable steps every day. Studies have shown that simply making our bed each morning causes us to be 4-5 times more likely to achieve other daily goals. Start by taking 1 simple action in any area of life where you want to progress. This will build the momentum necessary for massive improvement. The first step to a successful Ketogenic diet is giving the body time to adapt to that style of eating. This transition into Ketosis can generally take between 30-60 days. Once the body is used to running on ketones, we can begin experimenting with the different amounts and types of carbs we consume to help us discover what is optimal for our unique body.

When one area is lacking, the others will suffer as well." - Drew Manning "I found that being overweight was very emotionally challenging." - Drew Manning "Discipline will actually create more freedom in our lives." - Drew Manning "Setting up forms of accountability will help us overcome procrastination." - Drew Manning "Although it tends to be more challenging, it's possible to do the ketogenic diet when you're vegetarian or vegan." - Drew Manning "A large part of feeling the 'Keto Flu' comes from an imbalance in our electrolytes." - Drew Manning "I think it's beneficial for everyone to become their own self-experimentation, and find out what's optimal for their unique body." - Drew Manning Drew's Book Drawing from the lessons and insights of his breakout website, Fit2Fat2Fit.com, personal trainer Drew Manning delivers the story of his quest to go from fit to fat to fit again in one year in order to better understand the weight-loss struggles of his clients and the online community.

Today's episode reveals the breakthrough weight-loss device "Modius," from Neurovalens. This non-invasive wearable headband is helping to reduce body fat and increase wellness through activation of the vestibular nerve. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST Traditionally, wearables have focused on tracking and monitoring. They can tell us things like how many steps we've taken, and the body's heart rate and calorie intake. But this new technology with Modius works by activating the parts of our brain that will dictate how our system holds onto fat. It creates a sensation in the mind of physical activity which will shift our metabolism and help to release excess weight. On this podcast, we talk with Tom Bilyeu, co-founder of Quest Nutrition and host of the "Impact Theory" podcast, along with Dr. Jason Mckeown, CEO of Neurovalens. They explain how combined with proper diet and exercise, Modius may control how the wellness and medical communities approach obesity in the years to come.   Listen To Episode 130 As We Uncover: How to control fat loss through vestibular nerve activation Tom's fascination with neuroscience and its impact on wellness Why Tom decided to join forces with Neurovalence Jason's path that led him to study vestibular stimulation with Dr. Ramachandran The meaning behind the name "Modius" How the hypothalamus helps to control our level of body fat Why vestibular stimulation will cause a metabolic shift in our body The changes Tom can notice since wearing the Modius headband How the body uses insulin and leptin to regulate our weight and appetite Jason's health transformation after using Modius and adjusting his lifestyle The cognitive benefits that come from movement and exercise How the vestibular system can impact depression and anxiety The relation between the vagus and vestibular nerves How vestibular stimulation affects our sleep Why the effects of Modius won't lead to a dependency on the device How a gratitude practice can help reduce stress levels Top 3 Takeaways From The Show Weight loss can be challenging for many individuals. Sometimes even with proper diet and exercise, we can still hold onto fat. There is an ideal weight where the brain believes it should keep the body, and this level increases with a sedentary lifestyle and high-calorie diet. Through neurostimulation with the Modius, we can help change this determined set point for our body's fat storage and begin to release weight more easily. Don't be closed-minded to technology empowering human potential. Forward-thinking innovation is no longer a convenience, but a necessity in the wellness world. We must continuously develop our body's intuition to help regulate our health and these new tools and technologies give us an upper-hand in the process. The Modius device isn't the "end all be all" for weight loss, but it's being shown to help us get closer to our goals. We still have to adjust our lifestyle and take steps to increase our physical and emotional wellness if we want to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

Today's episode reveals the hidden aspects of our nature that determine how we respond to the expectations of ourselves and others. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST On this podcast, we discover Gretchen Rubin's new book "The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How To Make Your Life Better (And Other People's Lives Better, Too)" These 4 Tendencies give us a framework for how we react to the internal and external demands in our lives.  When we better understand these patterns in our behavior, we gain immense control over our actions and decisions. Although our personality type may be deeply ingrained,  we can benefit from knowing these predictable behavioral patterns and set ourselves up for success. Listen to Wellness Force Radio 129 as Gretchen shares her insight from decades of research in happiness, habits, and so much more. Listen To Episode 129 As Gretchen Uncovers: The personality framework that determines how we respond to expectations Character traits of the Obliger, Questioner, Rebel, and Upholder How to gain a deeper understanding of our actions The benefit from identifying these predictable patterns of our behavior The strengths and weaknesses of our different tendencies How we can fine-tune our self-awareness Why others may not see the world as we do Ways to set our internal and external framework up for success How these personality types play out in our relationships Ways to understand how our behavior fits into predictable patterns How we can avoid disempowering language Why Gretchen prefers the newspaper over televised news How to get the most out of yourself and others How to set up the accountability we need to meet an inner expectation The Four Tendencies in a nutshell: The Four Tendencies Upholders respond readily to outer and inner expectations Questioners question all expectations; they’ll meet an expectation if they think it makes sense Rebels resist all expectations, outer and inner alike Obligers meet outer expectations, but struggle to meet expectations they impose on themselves Click Here To Take The Four Tendencies Quiz Top 3 Takeaways From Gretchen These personality traits may be deeply ingrained, but the great thing is we don't need to try and change who we are. Just by knowing our tendencies, we can set ourselves up for success. If you fall into the large category of Obligers, remember to be mindful of Obliger Rebellion. This is when the demands and expectations from others begin to overwhelm us, and we get to the point of burnout and resentment. Typically, this happens when the Obliger feels used or taken advantage of, which they typically are.  Set healthy boundaries for your external accountability. It's important to know that not everyone thinks like we do. And sometimes we can get upset when people don't live up to our expectations. There are times when we can't quite comprehend why people do the things they do. If we understand the personality traits and nature of others, we can remove judgment and enhance our impact, interactions, and relationships. Power Quotes From Gretchen Rubin   "The Four Tendencies help us illuminate the hidden aspects of our nature." - Gretchen Rubin "Perfectionism isn't about standards, it's about anxiety." - Gretchen Rubin "I believe these tendencies are hard-wired and genetically determined." - Gretchen Rubin "Your upbringing and culture affect how your tendency is expressed." - Gretchen Rubin "An upholder doesn't need to say "yes" to everything." - Gretchen Rubin "Obligers can find accountability by thinking about their future self." - Gretchen Rubin "It doesn't matter what you should be able to do, there's only what works for you." - Gretchen Rubin "When a Rebel pairs up at work or in romance, it's almost always with an Obliger." - Gretchen Rubin "The language we use leads to dramatically different results." - Gretchen Rubin Gretchen's New Book: "The Four Tendencies" During her multi-book investigation into understanding human nature, Gretchen Rubin realized that by asking the seemingly dry question "How do I respond to expectations?" we gain explosive self-knowledge. She discovered that based on their answer, people fit into Four Tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. Our Tendency shapes every aspect of our behavior, so using this framework allows us to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress, and engage more effectively. More than 600,000 people have taken her online quiz, and managers, doctors, teachers, spouses, and parents already use the framework to help people make significant, lasting change. With sharp insight, compelling research, and hilarious examples, The Four Tendencies will help you get happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative. It's far easier to succeed when you know what works for you.

128 Mind Pump: In a tech-driven world with more connection and media distraction than ever before, how can we balance these forces so they assist in our wellness journey? JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST This level of technology and social integration is still in its infancy, and we already see some of the physical and psychological impacts. Our constant distractions make it challenging to focus and enjoy the present moment, and the mainstream media constantly promotes fear and drama. Studies are also showing the links between mobile phone addiction with depression and anxiety. These new technologies have far reaching benefits and also unintended consequences. It's the conscious choice of how we use and incorporate them into our lives that will dictate their impact. In this highly digital and connected age, we have to ask ourselves an important question: How can we develop a healthy use of technology so it enhances our productivity and wellness? On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, we explore this topic and more with the team from Mind Pump Media, Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer, and Justin Andrews.  We touch on great topics such as the future of group exercise, the benefits of getting in nature, and how to increase our emotional intelligence. Listen To Episode 128 As We Uncover: Sales stories from 24-hour fitness Mistakes made by beginner trainers Interview styles and how they prep for shows The rapid speed at which technology is changing the world and our habits The addictive properties of technology How apps and social media are engineered to get us hooked How new forms of stimulation chemically alter the brain Why mindfulness will dictate our habits How the ego thrives and survives off drama and negativity Predictions for the future of Virtual Reality How we can stop identifying with thoughts that don't empower us Creating sustainable change by getting in touch with our true motives How our diet can affect skin care Why we need to partition time for self-care The unhealthy ways we choose to numb ourselves from problems Why we must avoid getting stuck in a single workout routine Finding the balance between intense and relaxing workouts The rejuvenating effects of spending time in nature How the fitness space is beginning to gamify workouts Top 3 Takeaways From The Episode Our ego loves to feed into drama and negativity.  Unfortunately, the media is made up of 99% bad news.  We have to understand that our consumption drives the creators, and what we consume is what they produce.  Try to fill your mind with positive content that shows us what is possible. We can find tremendous emotional healing when we stop identifying with our thoughts.  Slow down and try to observe, without letting your mind consume you or become who you are. Exercise has to be viewed as an investment in our health.  When we put the time in, we get exponential hours of energy and productivity back.  Partition out time on a regular basis for self-care. Power Quotes   "Mindfulness is the root cause of our eating and lifestyle habits." - Sal Di Stefano "It's thought, then feeling, then action." - Josh Trent "It's going to be a challenge removing our culture's addiction to technology." - Justin Andrews "We must examine our true motives to discover the root of deeper issues." - Adam Schafer "While building our life and business, our emotional health can't be lost along the way ." - Josh Trent "The endorphin rush from social media is being compared to that of drug addiction." - Adam Schafer "Deception in the media has always been around, but it's getting much more creative." - Sal Di Stefano "First, work on the relationship with yourself, then with food, and then with exercise."- Adam Schafer The "Mind Pump" Podcast MindPump exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more...
