Mediocrity is on sale in our world today. It's cheap, easy to get, and there are even 2-for-1 discounts if you want to bring someone along with you.  Why do we set the bar so low? And why do so many of us settle for a life of quiet desperation when we can live the life of our dreams? My friend Bo Eason has a problem with mediocrity, and he’s on fire to help people wake up to their true potential which (he will explain exactly why) is literally your birthright. Bo’s story is absolutely incredible. Going from elite NFL player, to critically acclaimed playwright and stage performer, he knows a thing or 10,000 about what it takes to become great at something. He also knows (and will share with you today) how to pivot and carve out a new path for yourself, why it takes just one person to change your entire life, and how to truly step into your power. In this episode you'll discover: What Bo did at the age of 9 that laid the foundation for his future. Why the plan for your life usually doesn’t look like it’s going to work out. Why Bo didn’t think his skills in football would transfer over into the real world. What life-changing advice Bo received from Al Pacino. Why most people fail miserably when they have the opportunity to learn from someone great (this will shock you!). How we are veritably hardwired to be winners. Why it’s so valuable to learn from the very best person in their respective field. Why practice needs to be the center of your universe. How rituals and practice give you more freedom in life. What some of Bo's most important daily rituals are. Why most people are late when opportunity presents itself. What Bo does to accelerate recovery and improve performance. What the #1 enemy in our lives is (this is important!). Why it's critical for us to expand what we are aiming for in life. What’s the #1 character trait we must have in order to be the best in the world.

How do you actually know what you think? A lot of us are under the impression that we know what we think because we hear a lot of inner chatter in our heads (straightjacket not included), or because we talk about what we think with other people. But that’s not what we really think. The inner chatter in your head is mostly surface stuff; fluff. It’s the bright and shining outside of the orange that can easily hide the real juicy stuff in the middle. And the things you think that you share with other people - it’s filtered. A lot. Even your very best friends have probably never heard your deepest thoughts. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a safety mechanism to keep us comfortable and feeling as though we will be accepted. Filtering is socially acceptable because everybody does it whether they realize it or not. The only problem with it is that all of the real thoughts and feelings you have may never get looked at. The good, the bad, and the ugly in so many of our psychies is often heavily suppressed. The not-so-good stuff held in can lead to destructive behavior, depression, and addiction (to name a few) and it’s all clinically proven. And the good stuff held in can lead to living a life that’s not true to who you really are. Your visions, goals, and aspirations not analyzed and expressed can lead to supreme feelings of regret, resentment, and cause you to miss out on the incredible fulfillment that’s possible for you. So, do you really know what you think? Today it’s time to uncover the things usually hiding in plain sight that are holding you back. Today you’re going to learn about the proven benefits of expressive writing with the one and only Katie Dalebout. In this episode you'll discover: What controls everything that we think and everything that we do. The surprising clinically proven impact that journaling has on depression. How expressive writing can influence PTSD. Why using unhealthy methods to control our weight is so prevalent in our society. How Katie “accidentally” discovered the vast benefits of journaling. The surprising truth about why we filter ourselves around other people. Why there’s only one way to do journalling wrong. What important thing journaling forces us to do. What most of society uses to not feel their feelings. Why curiosity is an important ingredient for understanding your own thoughts. The 6 critical pointers for getting the most out of expressive writing. The surprising revelation about what happens when you choose to suppress your feelings. Why befriending yourself is a huge key to success and happiness. What our top two favorite journaling exercises are.

Just like any journey in life, the journey to health is a journey of discovery. Each obstacle we face is an opportunity to learn something new about ourselves. Whether it’s healing a disease or finding a way to lose that last tiny bit of body fat, changing our health starts with changing how we think. Experimentation is our foundational tool. You have to experiment and test things out to truly find out what works for yourself. We are all unique, and what works for your best friend may only set you back on your journey even further. Sure, there are universal principles of health that can take you a very long way. Eat real food, get plenty of movement and exercise, get adequate amounts of sunlight, drink lots of clean water, cultivate healthy relationships, and do meaningful work that fulfills you. These are a few of the basic tenets for living a healthy, happy, successful life. But what about when you want to take your health to another level? Or what about when you get hit with a real challenging situation (despite following the foundational principles)? This is where a deeper analysis needs to take place. You can take shots in the dark and see if anything (hopefully) hits, or you can take action to uncover what the real solution is by looking in the right place. How do you know unless you look? That’s the mantra of the skilled practitioner today. The guessing game is great if you’re playing Pictionary with your friends. But when it comes to your health guessing can be a massive waste of time, rob you of your results and, at worse, it can even be life-threatening. That’s why I’m so thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Anthony G. Beck. Dr. Beck has made a habit of looking in the right place for the solutions to all manner of health problems. His advanced testing methods have helped to change my life, and he’s here today to fill you in on what you need to know to be more empowered in your own health journey. Let’s do this! In this episode you'll discover: Whether or not medicinal mushrooms are good for kids. What Balanced Protocol means and why it works so well. Why your gut health is so influential on your health overall. What GI Testing can tell you. Why the best diet in the world might not be the best diet for your body. How changing your food changes your microbiome. Why it’s not just what you eat, but where you eat that can make all of the difference. Why we need diversity in our food. How many different species of bacteria we have in our gut (this is amazing!). Why conventional allergy tests can misleading and outright wrong. Why elimination diets don’t work (wait, what?!). Which incredible blood test can tell you how “clean” your metabolism is running. Why you need to be cautious about buying most probiotic supplements.

In a world of continuous posts and pictures, our consumption and judgement of attraction is at an all-time high. But, what can get lost in all of that is, well, ourselves. What does it mean to be attractive? How does attraction work? And why does it matter really anyway? Well, funny enough, attraction is actually tied to our lifeline. We all want to be attractive, and we all want to feel significant. These are basic human needs that help drive along our species. Not solely for the purpose of picking a mate, but being a part of a tribe, and (evolutionarily speaking) having a better chance at survival.

Sounds like a pretty big promise? Well, I’ve got the science to back it up. And this isn’t about a superficial, stereotypical, smoke-and-mirrors type of attraction that many of us have bought into today. This is real attraction. This is how to let your inner light shine, and how to be the most attractive version of yourself. Marilyn Monroe said, “To all the girls that think you’re fat because you’re not a size zero, you’re the beautiful one, it's society who’s ugly.” This important episode will be valuable for men and women all over the world who’ve battled with living up to what society has deemed as attractive. Today is an opportunity to break the chains of poor self-image, and to be more attractive, more healthy, and more of an inspiration to those around you. Enjoy! In this episode you'll discover: Why we all desire to be attractive to those around us (the science). What beauty really is (and what it is not).

I remember watching the movie Wall-E with my son Braden. It is an animated movie portraying the not-too-distant future where humans have siphoned the world of its natural resources and moved to space, leaving Earth behind as a glorified junk yard. Talk about family fun! Even though the context was a bit grim, the movie still highlighted the power of love, devotion, companionship, and doing the right thing. It was a good family movie that pulls on your heartstrings. But what most interested me about the movie was the depiction of the devolution of human beings who have become so engrossed in technology that they hardly ever move anymore. Every person in the film barely had to lift a finger as all of their needs were met at the touch of a button. It might sound cool to live in a world like that, but what are the consequences? Since they lost their desire and need to move, all of their muscles were atrophied. And to say everyone was overweight would be a monumental understatement. Now, is this reality that far fetched? Are we not seeing the effects that our creature comforts are having on health and our ability to move normally? Yes, we definitely are! And it’s impacting BILLIONS of people whether they realize it or not. We have to reconnect with what makes us human and what supports the highest expression of our genes. Our genes literally expect us to do certain things, and when we don’t, disease and degeneration programs kick in. This is why today’s show is so important and absolutely life-changing. We have on one of the world’s foremost experts in human movement. She’s here to help us recalibrate our lives by making some small adjustments that can lead to decades of improved quality of life. Biomechanist Katy Bowman will help you to discover how to avoid the Wall-E syndrome and be a much healthier, happier, functional version of yourself. In this episode you'll discover: Why standing is NOT the solution for sitting too much. What a dynamic workstation is. Why ergonomic products and workstations are destined to fail our health. How our modern conveniences impact our daily movement. What mechanosensors are and how they work in your body. How you can literally create new body fat specifically for sitting on. What some excellent (and surprising) standing workstation options are. Some critical insights to make sure your standing desk isn’t hurting you. The secret life of high heeled shoes and what they can do to your body. What determines the amount of movement you should be getting on a daily basis.

What we are able to have, give, do and become in our lives is largely determined by how we choose to spend our time. Seneca said, “It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested.” A big secret to success in life is learning how to focus on what really matters. And at no other point in human history has focus been such a hugely scarce commodity. If you can reacquire your focus, and place it intently on the thing that matters most, then there’s absolutely no limit to what you can achieve. That’s why I had to talk with Jay Papasan. Jay is the co-author of the bestselling, mega-hit book The One Thing. Today he’s here to share with you some priceless wisdom to help you live the life you want, break through your mental barriers, and become the best version of yourself. The tips and insights are running wild in this episode, so make sure you’re ready to catch them! In this episode you'll discover: Why food and memories are intimately linked up in our minds. Why it’s never your “title” that defines you. What The One Thing really is (this is life-changing!). How attempting to do everything right can be a bigtime spiritual stressor. How to create the “Domino Effect” in the most important areas of life. How to find The One Thing for transforming your body. How you can find out what YOUR one thing is. The surprising impact of multitasking (this is mind-blowing!). What your willpower actually is and how it’s always negative and positive. Why willpower is a nutrition issue. What megaphobia is and how it’s probably impacting your life. What a focusing question is and why it’s a MUST to have one.

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” This is a quote from the ever-wise Dale Carnegie. And this is the first statement that comes to mind when I think of the courage of Vani Hari. Vani is an action-taker. She began her life like many of us in modern society… fast food, fast life, and a fast-track to a date with disease. Her action-taking nature was being used against her, and it landed her in a hospital bed, facing invasive surgery, and an important life decision. Vani was hurt. She, like millions of others, put her trust in the corporations that manufacture the food that landed on her plate every day. Through a series of events (that you’re going to learn about today) she discovered that many of these multi-billion companies were putting chemicals in their foods that were leading to serious (and sometimes fatal) conditions for more people than you can imagine. When she was presented with this information she had a choice. She could sit back and complain, or she could actually do something about it. And she decided to act! But how in the world can a person take on a multi-billion dollar company? They have deep pockets, sly marketing reps and “fixers”, and legions of lawyers paid top dollar to make sure that your concerns never see the light of day. It is a modern day David & Goliath story… And you know how that ended for Goliath. The road hasn’t been easy, but by looking fear in the face, taking inspired action, and having the heart to make a real difference, Vani has helped to make changes to the food system that you have likely experienced firsthand even though you may have never heard her name before. Today we are honoring Vani, and we are fortunate enough to have her here to share her story. It’s inspiring, and it’s also laced with important life lessons. Enjoy, and please make sure to stay connected with Vani and The Food Babe Army because together WE are really the agents of change for the health of our future generations. In this episode you'll discover: How eating to “fit in” can lead to some big health challenges. How an invasive surgery triggered a transformation in Vani’s life. What surprising role your appendix plays in your health. What inspired Vani to leave her corporate job and pursue a career in health & wellness full-time. Why Kraft Foods used different ingredients in other countries for their super-popular macaroni & cheese. Why artificial food dyes are a huge potential health problem. How Vani was able to get multi-billion dollar food companies to make their products healthier. What some of The Sickening 15 are (and why you need to avoid them!). Why growth hormone is used in our food supply. The shocking amount of the world’s antibiotics that are given to livestock. How pesticides can seriously damage your health. Why shifting our demand is so critical to shifting our food system. How many synthetic ingredients are added to our food supply (this is crazy!). What GRAS is and how food companies use it to do what they want. Why there’s a weird stigma about organic foods. How fast food correlates with how we live our lives.

Hippocrates, who is largely considered to be the father of modern medicine, said that, “Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.” Hippocrates was speaking about the miraculous power of our immune system, and that’s what today’s show is all about. Where is this mysterious immune system located? And how does it work? These are questions that I used to ponder many years ago, and it led me to realize that to understand the bigger picture, I first needed to understand the smaller picture.

Our immune systems are what have enabled us to adapt and move beyond all manner of diseases that could have wiped us out long ago. But, our immune system is the trainer, rehabilitator, and defender of every cell in our body. Our immune system is something to be highly praised and supported. And a great way to show thanks is to learn a little more about it. Your immune systems is doing its job from the top of your head to the very bottom of your feet. But the heart of your immune system lives a very secret and special life that we are going to dive into today. You’ll learn a big part of how this amazing system works, plus value-packed tips to help you keep your immune system strong and healthy for a lifetime. In this episode you'll discover: What the 3 major functions of your lymphatic system are. How your lymphatic system engages with cancer cells. The surprising way that your lymphatic system impacts fat-soluble nutrients. How weight loss is influenced by your lymphatic system. Why your circulatory system and lymphatic system differ in how they move throughout your body. What all of your major lymphatic organs are (this might surprise you!).

Which organ is a “safe house" for friendly bacteria. Your body’s first line of defense for your immune system. Why haphazard use of antibiotics can be devastating to our health (and our society). Which specific foods help to enhance immune system function. How a poorly functioning lymph system can impair your body’s lipid metabolism. What supplements can be helpful for the lymphatic system. How movement impacts your lymphatic system. What the best exercises are for your lymphatic system. Why our sleep quality has a huge influence on detoxification.
