The Mark Divine Show

Mental disorders are now the leading cause of disability on the planet and in the United States.  We have a crisis and we need new ideas and new approaches. Mental health has become a global crisis. Harvard psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Chris Palmer (@ChrisPalmerMD) is the Director of the Department of postgraduate and continuing education in McLean Hospital, and he's an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.  His research is leading the future of understanding, diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. His recent book Brain Energy outlines a revolutionary new understanding that for the first time unites our existing knowledge about mental illness within a single framework: mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain.   Dr. Chris Palmer was personally impacted witnessing the decline of his mother’s mental health when he was a child. His frustration with the medical system and his own struggles drove him into the field of psychology where he has focused on understanding what mental disorders are and how they can be treated in a new and more effective way. Dr. Palmer has made a link of metabolic health and treatment that is changing the way Western medicine views and approaches our mental health crisis.  “ I am putting people with mental disorders (bipolar, schizophrenia, depression) into full remission, sometimes off of psychiatric medications, using strategies like the ketogenic diet, but also exercise, good sleep, get off the drugs and alcohol, and stress reduction.”  - Dr. Chris Palmer Key Takeaways:   Mitochondria and Brain Health: Genes get turned off or on primarily in relation to mitochondria.There has been an explosion of research on the tiny things in our cells and the benefits of addressing them for brain health. Mitochondria are the primary regulators of the metabolism, and brain disorders are being linked to metabolic disorders. Scientists are beginning to understand the role of the metabolism and mitochondria, and the role they play in mental health.    Individuals Brain Strength: Just like how each of us have certain muscles that are stronger than others, our brains are similar. Each of us have areas of the brain that are stronger or weaker. Once you locate the weak areas of the brain you can often retrain them and see amazing results in cognition and emotional functioning.   Ketogenic Diet, Lifestyle, and Brain Function: The ketogenic diet has amazingly profound impacts on the human brain. The ketogenic diet promotes metabolic health which positively affects the brain. The application of the Ketogenic diet paired with proper sleep, stress reduction, finding purpose, and exercise is a prescription that is working. However it isn’t a quick fix, it takes years of dedication and focus to see full remission in patients.   Medication is Limited: Although medication can be effective in treating the symptoms of a mental disorder there are limitations and many side effects. Dr. Palmer has dedicated his life’s work to finding better ways than the mainstream focus on medicating patients. He believes that although medication is necessary at times it is not the only route for treatment, and can be very limiting for overall recovery of mental health and brain disorders.

I would say focus on whole foods. Focus on nutrient density, and  have it be bioavailable nutrient dense food. Meaning foods that are high in nutrients, that's first and foremost when it comes to being healthy. .   Gut imbalance and shame are like hand in glove when it comes to being healthy according to Dr. Will Cole (@Dr. Will Cole). As a visionary in the health field he created one of the first functional medicine telehealth centers in the world. He is the author of Ketotarian, Intuitive Fasting, and Gut Feelings. He is one of the top 50 functional and integrative doctors in the nation and specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of chronic disease.   Dr. Will Cole spent his earnings as a teenager on the latest superfood or herb that he was learning about. His passion and curiosity led him into the field of functional medicine where he is dedicated to demystifying how to get and stay healthy. Dr. Cole has a podcast, The Art of Being Well, where he explores a variety of diverse topics. His latest passion is finding the intimate relationship between our emotions and our gut health and how they affect one another.   “I think if you're getting enough from food, you don't really need many supplements, it’s that simple.”  - Dr. Will Cole Ketogenic Diet: Eating Keto can be very beneficial, but it isn’t for everyone. When you are eating ketogenically you want your diet to consume 65-75%fat. And this is good fats. The false belief that you can eat anything you want as long as you are in the correct percentage range of fat intake is incorrect and dangerous for your health.    Shame and Gut Health: It is becoming more and more clear that our emotional and mental states are directly affected by our gut health. And just like the saying what came first, the chicken or the egg, our emotional and mental states affect our gut health. Our bodies and beingness are interwoven and deeply connected. Living with shame is a leading cause for gut imbalance.   Organization and Intuitive Nutrition: If you can be organized and take time to test which foods, diet, and supplements work best to keep your body in harmony then you can start to let go of structures regarding diet and eat intuitively.   Western vs. Functional Medicine: One of the main differences between Western and Functional medicine is the way the doctors use your labs. Functional medicine focuses on you being compared to and living in optimal health.    Caldera + Lab! - As you age, you might notice more Fine Lines, Wrinkles and signs of Aging.

Meditation, contemplation, all the spiritual practices, even therapy is all asking you to look within. You're not looking out there to solve your problem, you're looking within.   RJ Singh is all about Ultra Habits and the power of implementing positivity into your daily routine. His early life was one of violence, crime, jails, and addiction. With the support of mentors and supportive frameworks Singh embarked on the path of overcoming the pull of living in the shadows. Through his experiences he developed a system which empowers individuals to embark on the journey of living in awareness of mind, body, and spirit.    RJ Singh believes in limitless possibilities. He is a corporate and ultra-endurance athlete, family man and is dedicated to the pursuit of self-mastery. His life mission is to lead by example and share what he has learned about the power of habit and choice.    “As a person stays sober longer, and they're doing the work. They move into a place where they've read all the books, they've accumulated all the information, and you kind of realize that all that information is saying the same thing. Ultimately, within our heart and soul and being, we know the answers.” - RJ Singh   Key Takeaways:   Sitting with Yourself: Being able to sit alone in a room and do nothing except be present to yourself in the moment is challenging for many. Learning to be with your thoughts, feelings, and the space inbetween is foundational to being present with life and others. The Levels of the Mind: There are layers to the mind's activity and stories. Observation, engagement, identification, and witnessing. When all the thoughts settle and you have become a witness to how your mind functions a deep understanding is discovered. Recovery: Addictions that undermine our health, relationships, and professional goals are like mold inside a wall. Unless you eradicate the root cause, identify the triggers, and build a solid community of support it is challenging to overcome the behaviors. Creating positive habits to replace the negative addictions is an important step to recovery. Honesty: We all lie to ourselves at some point when we are living in an addiction. Getting clear about the insidious nature of deceit and how it undermines recovery is essential. And being truthful with our words and actions toward the self and others is necessary.   Go to https://hvmn.com/ and use the promo code: ‘Divine’ to 20% off your next purchase of Keytone IQ Links: Ultra Habits Website Ultra Habits Podcast LinkedIn  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Many things can be explained to the smallest detail. There are the things like Aspirin that we know work, however still cannot explain exactly why it works. This is the power of trusting the seen and the unseen in science and medicine.   Mark Fox (@markfox) is an engineer, entrepreneur, inventor, and author. From rocket building to PEMF therapy Mark uses his skills and curiosity to invent solutions for the seemingly unsolvable. Utilizing TRIZ in his work, Mark is on the cutting edge of groundbreaking inventions that could change the future of our health and home.   Inventor and visionary Mark Fox shares how to access your creativity and curiosity in his book DaVinci and the 40 Answers. He has been researching and evolving a device that helps heal the body through the pulse electromagnetic field for the past 17 years. His company Resona Health has statistically helped Veterans reduce PTSD symptoms.   “ PEMF stands for pulsed electro-magnetic field. So it's what it sounds like: it's an electromagnetic field that pulses. Now, the earth, the earth is a 24/7, since the beginning of time, as far as we know, is a PMF machine”  - Mark Fox   Key Takeaways: TRIZ: The theory of inventive problem solving: A Russian acronym that is based in the 40 categories inventions fall into. A lens that helps you look at problem solving creatively to find new and fresh perspectives. Examples: What is the inverse of the situation? Mechanical vibration, what happens when you shake it? Looking at the problem from another dimension.  Grounding: The earth has an electromagnetic field that is pulsing 24/7. It has been scientifically proven that it is good for one’s health to walk barefoot on the natural ground, connected to earth’s frequency. This practice of what is now called “earthing” is a key grounding principle in many eastern traditions such as yoga and martial arts. FDA Funding: 75% of FDA funding is by Big-Pharma. Most of the money that funds the Food and Drug Administration comes with the influence, entitlement, and parameters of the big pharmaceutical companies agenda.  Imagining the Future: It is possible that things like lightbulbs, our cellular devices, and other everyday devices in the home could be transformed into tools to make your home a rejuvenation station. This is the vision of using frequency to heal our bodies and minds from ailments.

Interestingly enough… people often focus on what can go wrong instead of right when discussing living a life of generosity and financial abundance. Ramit Sethi (@ramit) is an entrepreneur, financial advisor, and author. His New York Times bestselling book, I Will Teach You to Be Rich, has sold over 10 million copies. Ramit is passionate about how people view their relationship with money and how it impacts romantic relationships.

In this playbook, he teaches and encourages the participant to dream big and create a vision that can be activated, acted on, and materialized.    “ My money rules are positive. So remember, they're my rules. I get to create whatever I want. So I have 10 Money rules. Everybody can Google Ramit’s 10 Money Rules..”  - Ramit Sethi   Key Takeaways: Visioning Your Rich Life: Each of us has a unique vision of a prosperous life. Knowing yours, writing it out, and visualizing is a step toward financial freedom and success. Be specific in your creation and dream as BIG as you possibly can.

Money problems or different belief systems can create unnecessary stress in relationships.  Your Relationship with Money: Many of us spend time working on having healthy relationships with people, ourselves, food, and work.

The best leaders can communicate upsets with their team and then move on. It is important to support and mentor those who do not see themselves as leaders yet by being accountable and honest through word and action.   Command Sergeant Major Bradley Jone's (@authorBPJones) faith and fortitude brought him into a life of service both in and out of the military. His recent book Treading the Deep is a memoir/guidebook on discovering one’s path as a servant leader.   With his unstoppable faith, Command Sergeant Major Bradley Jones has the ability to communicate the hows and whats of making great leaders that will form and shape the future of the US military. His attitude and teaching encourage and inspire the notion that no matter what the circumstance, we can all find meaning and vision.   “ I would talk to my leaders about that, like, look, the doors can open rapidly, and you need to be ready to step through.”  - Command Sergeant Major Bradley Jones   Key Takeaways:   Learning about Leadership: You can learn as much from a toxic leader as a good one. Knowing what doesn’t work or what is harmful in a leadership role gives you tools you can use to discover why a leader is good or dysfunctional and toxic.   Different Interpretations are Powerful: Taking multiple perspectives empowers you as a leader when you want to inspire and educate yourself and others. When dealing with complexity, always ask yourself what stance you can take.   Servant Leadership: Over 25 types of leadership scratch the surface of philosophies regarding leadership. A servant leader's leadership style and attitude show when interacting with others. They want to engage and strengthen everyone on their team so that the leadership is decentralized and all participants thrive in their areas of expertise.   Look out for Others: If you have the information and ability to help another person succeed, use it for good. Leaders who help engage and uplift people exemplify how good leaders look out for their teams.

It's it's not that simple.”  - Mathew Dawson Key Takeaways: Genetic Disposition : Our genetics are part of how we are able to manage stress and perspective in situations. Having the knowledge of your genetic predisposition not only helps you thrive physically and avoid sickness, it also helps you comprehend certain proclivities you have towards particular environments.

Entrepreneurs identify themselves, not just by the product of their work, but by something that's deeper by a core mission.   Jason Feifer (@ heyfeifer) the Editor in Chief at Entrepreneur Magazine, a podcast host, keynote speaker, and startup advisor. Known as an unstoppable optimist Jason enjoys writing and presenting on the topics of taking ownership, creating opportunities, and building for tomorrow.  Jason Feifer newest book, Build for Tomorrow is a manual on how to adapt to change, cultivate resilience, and reinvention.    “ I have this theory of humanity, which is, everybody has the same skill. And that skill is pattern matching. The difference is that we're all good at matching different patterns. The more that you can figure out which patterns you're good at matching, the more you can lean into that.”  - Jason Feifer   Key Takeaways:   Entrepreneurs are Vertical Thinkers : Entrepreneurs only do things because the thing that they're doing is the foundation upon which they will build more on. They think about how doing one thing is going to lead to the next thing, how they're going to develop some new skill or insight.    Pattern Recognition: Learning which patterns you recognize will guide you to know what you are innately talented in and how to develop. Also, if you listen to the questions that people ask you, you will discover that those questions pointing to what people think your value is to them.   The Future of Work: The four day work week if implemented can be very successful for many problems. As the future of work changes companies and employees need to understand that solving one problem might create another better problem. When this happens, it is important not to throw out the original idea, instead address the new better problem and fix it.   Identify with an Archeytpe: Identify the archetype that best defines who you are and what drives you. If you do this, even if your circumstance change (job title, financial status, relationships) you will have less sense of identity loss and more resilient as you adapt.  Links:   Jason Feifer Website Build For Tomorrow Book Build For Tomorrow Podcast  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Time is precious. I believe in working smarter, not harder.  DJ Eagle Bear Vanas (@d.j. vanas) is an leadership expert, international speaker, best selling author, member of the Ottowa Tribe, producer and director. His recent book The Warrior Within draws from Native American traditions and philosophies which are high tech wisdom for the modern warrior.  DJ Eagle Bear Vanas newest book, The Warrior Within  is a transformational guide to getting yourself right in order to accomplish the work you were meant to do.    “Being a warrior is somebody who can show up day in and day out, deliver on their responsibilities impact the world contribute.”  - DJ Eagle Bear Vanas Key Takeaways:  Native American Medicine: Medicine is taken throughout the day; deep breaths, prayer, songs, taking stillness, and spending time connecting and learning from nature.  Listening to Your Intuition: Our innate wisdom, otherwise known as intuition, is guiding us at all moments. It is important to learn how to hear your intuition and have the courage to not override the voice even when it is telling you something that is inconvenient. We All Need Support: Everyone struggles. The illusion that some people have it all together all the time is false, and harmful to the collective. It is important for leaders to show that they struggle and know how to ask for support so that those in the community can do the same and do not hold themselves to unrealistic standards. Serve and Protect Eachother: Being a warrior is about service and love for our fellow human, non-human, and the environment. In the Native American tradition warriors were very clear in their purpose, it was to feed and protect their people, not to feed and protect their ego.    Go to https://hvmn.com/ and use the promo code: ‘Divine’ to 20% off your next purchase of Keytone IQ   Links: Website The Warrior Within D.J.
