Deciphering the impact of our dietary choices on our own health, social and cultural discrepancies, and the future of the environment, is increasingly challenging among the mass of information that most of us face daily. There is a case for eating beef that offers an opportunity for environmental restoration, preservation of traditional cultural practices, and an equal chance at health for as many populations as possible.  Today's guest, Robb Wolf, has done the research, isolated the facts, and uncovered revelations that debunk years of dietary dogma. You'll learn:  Crucial considerations that may be at odds with common nutritional propaganda. What industrial, monocropped food systems mean for the future of the planet. How consciously raising livestock can actually reverse climate change. Why the direction of Big Food hits those near the bottom of the socio-economic ladder the hardest. The dangers and dispassion behind the movement to eliminate global traditional food systems. Robb Wolf, a former research biochemist, is the New York Times & WSJ Best Selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired To Eat.  Robb's newest book is Sacred Cow, co-authored by Diana Rodgers, R.D.  Robb has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world via his top ranked iTunes podcast, books and seminars.

After a 20-year bodybuilding career, everyone asks why I've changed the way that I train, and why I approach fitness and health so differently after retiring from competition.  As I continue to build upon the foundation of being lean, healthy, and muscular for life, longevity has become a huge focus for myself and the high-achieving individuals who go through Muscle Intelligence training.

Nutritional and supplemental protocols to optimize performance, energy, and cognition. Why muscles are EXTREMELY important, valuable organs.

Interested in connecting to your subconscious intelligence?  What about accessing deeper peace, creativity, intuition... and ultimately, the answers to navigate your own life's journey? It may surprise you that these states of heightened consciousness are truly accessible for everyone. Today's guest, Judith Pennington, combines the practices of deepening consciousness with the neuroscience of brain wave states to forge a path to true healing and personal transformation.  Judith is the founder of the Institute for the Awakened Mind, centered around electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback meditation for conscious evolution. This conversation between Ben and Judith is perfectly tuned in to the possibilities for reflective practices at the year's end!  Listen and learn: Immediate techniques to induce alpha brain waves states for awareness and healing. How to become more conscious of your decisions. The importance of mental and sensory associations to ground yourself into a peaceful state. Why intention is so vital to energetic practices. Tools to bring yourself into a parasympathetic, theta brain wave state. A breakdown of brain wave states from Judith's Mind Mirror Portal: Beta (38-14 Hz): conscious, external awareness.  Logical thought and intellect.  Often indicative of stress and anxiety in its highest frequencies and amplitudes. Alpha (14-8 Hz): a relaxed awareness, shifting towards internal states.  Activated in visualization and imagination.  The "bridge" that connects the conscious and subconscious mind. Theta (8-4 Hz): subconscious; long-term memory and dreaming; intuition and spiritual insight.  Connection to the core of the psyche and soul. Delta (4-0.5 Hz): unconscious mind; portal to universal consciousness; deep restorative sleep state. Gamma (30-100 Hz): superconscious awareness of peace and transcendence; triggered by love, compassion, and high amplitude delta/theta.  Associated with spiritual ecstasy and neurogenesis/neuroplasticity.

If I have to convince you that the best investment you can make is in yourself…. That being fit is not a temporary decision, but a commitment….

They typically have limited time to train, injuries, no gym access, busy families, no customized plans, no specific training knowledge, no coach and an inner fear that it’s going to be too hard. But here’s the tough love you need to hear:  The only difference between these guys and YOU… is that they took action. They stepped in the ring anyway.
