#136: Optimizing Sleep with Doctor Kirk Parsley

You want to be jacked, but aren't seeing the gains you want? Doctor Kirk Parsley dives into the main problem that can be holding you back- sleep. Doc Parsley served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One. He is a former SEAL and served as Naval Special Warfare's expert on Sleep Medicine. Doc's philosophy is simple; in order to optimize our health and get the most out of our bodies and minds, we must live more closely to the way we evolved as a species. Many diseases and disorders that we accept as "inevitable" in modern society are unnecessary complications of poor sleeping habits, living in a toxic environment, eating foods we were not designed to digest, and allowing stress to overwhelm us. Doc and I sat down recently to discuss everything you need to know about how to optimize your sleep. Topics Include: His interest in sleep, his experience with the Navy SEALS, and how his career began [3:03]. Slept adaption, sleep deprivation, and overall performance [12:37]. Paying back sleep debt, fact or myth? [18:39]. How many hours of sleep is ideal for performance [20:56]. The circadian rhythm, body temperature and his recommendations on training for the average guy [22:32]. Adrenal fatigue and its impact on deep sleep [27:44]. How many days a week someone should workout intensely [31:14]. The evolution of nutrition and Doc's philosophy on high and low carb intake [35:09]. Intermittent fasting, additional stressors and sleep [47:22]. Testosterone production during deep sleep [54:23]. Advice for people who work overnight shifts like cops and doctors [1:00:38]. How Doc Parsley uses his Sleep Remedy [1:07:45]. How the blue light of electronic devices can help or hinder sleep hygiene and ritualization [1:12:45].

#133: Becoming Minimalist with Ryan Nicodemus

Want more time, more money, more freedom, and more fun? Then this podcast episode is for you. As a long time Bruce Lee fan, I've always been an advocate for simplicity and minimalism. When things get too complex or I start accumulating too much physical or mental clutter I'm never quite as happy. I'll never forget the first time I saw the movie, Fight Club. It was like an epiphany when I heard Tyler Durden say, "We buy sh*t we don't need with money we don't have, to impress people we don't like." He talked about how the things we own end up owning us. About the ability to let that which does not matter truly slide. My mind was blown and my life changed. Later I read several books on the concept of minimalism, essentialism, and the importance of simplicity and a singular focus, but I'm human and can slip up, which is why it was perfect timing to sit down with Ryan Nicodemus of The Minimalists. He is one of the leading voices in the minimalist world and one of the stars of the new documentary, Minimalism. We talk about how saying no to certain things can open up so much more time, money, freedom and fun in your life. In this episode we discuss: "The Junk Drawer" and his trick to saying no and staying clutter free [2:52]. How he came to the decision to avoid living paycheck to paycheck [4:28]. The reality of selling cell phones and the idea of buying happiness [5:30]. His best friend and the introduction to Minimalism [7:55]. The definition of a packing party and prioritizing needs vs. wants [11:45]. How the blog "theminimalist.com" came to be [13:44]. How removing material items impacted his life [14.22]. Fear, monetizing the blog, and being a barista [16:14]. Traveling while making $21,000 a year [19:33]. The book tour and living in Missoula, Montana [20:55]. His philosophy on "Good Debt" and responsibility [23:52]. The first steps to living a life of minimalism [25:33]. How time is spent, building relationships and a no excuse approach to living a healthy life [29:04]. Avoiding the black hole of social media, advertising and comparing yourself to others [32:51]. His rule before making a purchase [39:53]. His daily rituals and/or routines that he must complete [42:04]. The benefits of developing the habit of mediating [43:18]. What clothing he keeps in his closet and tricks to keep them fresh [44:46]. Life rules that are unique to him [47:59]. The value of digital vs. hard copy book collecting [51:15]. Tips for the entrepreneur to build a great, genuine business and add value [52:43]. What he is inspired by today [54:34]. Selected Links From The Episode Leo Babauta. More about "The Minimalists".

I'm joined by my good friends, Craig Ballantyne and Jay Jablonski on this episode where we flip the script a bit. Craig came to the studio with a list of questions he wanted to ask me so I shared a bunch of stories about my life over the last 30 years. Topics Include: How I got into strength training. My biggest influences at the time. My big mistakes. Struggles along the way. The impact hip hop has had on my life. Only white guy in the room… every time. Sleeping through high school. What teachers said about me as a kid. My awful college experiences. My nightmare with tuberculosis. Starting my training business. The heyday of training 80 hours a week. Moving to NYC. 4am chin up contests for money. Reopening the gym. Falling in love with Cali for the first time. Starting an online biz. Moving to Cali. The shift from having zero confidence to having too much. Why you need coaches, mentors and friends you can trust to give you honest feedback.
