What if the biggest thing holding back your performance isn't your mindset, your training, or your work ethic, but your nervous system?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu sits down with Dr. Jo Brown, performance physiotherapist, nervous system expert, and Head of Human Performance at Nuropod, to explore why nervous system regulation may be the missing link between good performance and sustained excellence.

Learn more about Nuropod and its work in nervous system regulation and human performance: https://nuropod.com/

After working with Olympic champions, NBA players, NFL athletes, and world-class competitors, Dr. Brown discovered that lasting success isn't simply about physical ability or mental toughness.

It's about intentionality, nervous system regulation, and consistently recovering well enough to perform again.

Together, Dr. V and Dr. Brown break down why so many high achievers stay trapped in "go mode," how chronic stress quietly erodes performance long before symptoms appear, and the practical tools anyone can use to regulate their nervous system and improve recovery.

They also explore the future of performance medicine, including heart rate variability (HRV), wearable technology, vagus nerve stimulation, and why the nervous system may be the last frontier in optimizing human performance.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, executive, athlete, or simply looking for more energy, resilience, and longevity, this conversation offers actionable strategies to help you perform at your highest level without sacrificing your health.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why nervous system regulation is the foundation of sustainable high performance • The difference between recovery and readiness • Why sleep remains the most underrated recovery tool • What separates legendary athletes from everyone else • Simple nervous system regulation tools you can start using today • How HRV should actually be interpreted • Common signs you're heading toward burnout • Why stress isn't the enemy, but poor recovery is • How wearable technology and vagus nerve stimulation are changing recovery • Why showing up as your authentic self improves performance

What if the biggest thing holding back your growth isn't a lack of knowledge, but a lack of curiosity?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu sits down with keynote speaker, magician, and innovation expert Nash Fung to explore why curiosity may be one of the most powerful skills for thriving in today's rapidly changing world.

From immigrating to the United States as a teenager to overcoming insecurities through magic, Nash shares how curiosity helped shape his journey and ultimately became the foundation of his work with organizations around the world.

Together, they discuss the connection between curiosity and innovation, what children can teach us about creativity, how assumptions limit our potential, and why human connection may become even more valuable in the age of AI.

Along the way, Nash reveals surprising lessons from nearly two decades as a crisis counselor, explains what magic teaches us about human perception, and shares practical ways to cultivate more wonder, creativity, and possibility in everyday life.

In this episode, we explore:

Why curiosity is the fuel behind innovation and growth
How childhood experiences shape the stories we tell ourselves
The surprising lessons learned from 18 years on a crisis hotline
What magicians understand about memory, perception, and human behavior
Why assumptions are the enemy of curiosity
How children naturally think differently than adults
The role of human connection in an AI-powered future
Simple ways to cultivate curiosity in your work and life

If you've ever felt stuck, uninspired, or trapped by old ways of thinking, this conversation offers a refreshing reminder that curiosity may be the doorway to your next breakthrough.

You're getting things done, but at what cost?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr Kien Vu breaks down the biology of stress and reveals the hidden middle stage that most high performers are unknowingly living in: a dangerous "coping zone" where productivity masks depletion. He explains why willpower alone won't save you, and introduces a powerful 60-second reset tool called the IMPACT framework to bring you back to your center without adding a single hour to your day.

In this episode, we cover:

The biological definition of stress and why it's not the enemy you think it is
The 3 stages of stress: Anticipation, Coping, and Exhaustion and how to identify where you are
The sleep paradox: why 8 hours of rest still leaves high performers waking up depleted
Why high achievers are the most vulnerable to burnout and why it hits them the hardest
The science of recovery: why growth never happens during stress, only after it
How to engineer micro-recovery moments into your day without losing productivity
The IMPACT Framework: a 60-second reset practice to ground your nervous system anywhere, anytime

Ready to stop running on empty? Take the 7-day challenge: find one friction point in your day and add a micro-recovery moment before it. Then share this episode with a high performer in your life who needs to hear this.

Most people think mental health is "all in your head," but your nervous system is constantly syncing with every person in the room. That's why the right relationships can literally regulate your biology, and the wrong ones can burn you out.

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, we break down the science of co‑regulation, how human nervous systems connect, calm, and heal each other. You'll learn why a "best friend at work" isn't just nice to have, it's a biological necessity, and why chronic loneliness is as dangerous as smoking a pack a day for your long-term health, resilience, and performance.

In this episode, we cover:

What co‑regulation is and how your nervous system "talks" to other people's
The difference between co‑regulation and emotional contagion
Why having a "best friend at work" boosts engagement, resilience, and retention
The shocking stat: chronic loneliness and the mortality risk of smoking 15 cigarettes a day
Why high performers and leaders are often the most lonely and dysregulated
A practical audit for your relationships (who calms your system, who constricts it)
Scripts and practices to ask for support and co‑regulate with others
How generosity and vulnerability attract safe, regulating relationships
How to become the "strongest signal in the room" — calm, grounded, and contagious in the best way

Whether it's a breathing exercise with your spouse or simply being a calm presence for your team, small acts of co-regulation can ripple out and transform the health of everyone around you.

Feeling exhausted despite your success? What if the real reason your performance is declining isn't your work ethic, but your recovery?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr V breaks down the science of burnout, nervous system regulation, and why so many high performers hit a wall, even when they're doing everything right. From personal burnout and chronic disease to the biology of stress and resilience, this conversation will completely change the way you think about productivity, leadership, and longevity.

Together, we unpack a counterintuitive but science-backed truth: the athletes, executives, and leaders who perform at the highest levels aren't just working harder, they're recovering smarter.

In this episode, we dive into:

Why high performers burn out even when they're "successful"
The science of nervous system dysregulation and how it silently tanks your energy and focus
How chronic stress creates the same biological damage as chronic disease
Breathwork, sleep optimization, and micro recovery rituals that actually move the needle
The difference between rest and true recovery and why most people never experience the latter
Why hustle culture is costing you performance, not buying it

This conversation challenges everything you've been told about what it takes to succeed and asks a bigger question:

👉 Are we blaming our workload… when the real issue is that we've forgotten how to recover?

If you've been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, reactive, or disconnected despite your success, this episode will give you a new lens on what's happening beneath the surface.

Because peak performance isn't built in the grind. It's built into the recovery.

What if the most powerful upgrade you could make isn't your routine, your diet, or your mindset, but your nervous system?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu sits down with Stephen Zerfas, co-founder of Jhourney, to explore the ancient science of jhana meditation, and how modern retreats are helping top executives, AI researchers, and high performers access peak states of consciousness without drugs, in under a week.

Steven's journey started at an all-time low, a broken co-founder relationship, two lost jobs, and a 10-day silent meditation retreat that nearly broke him before it changed everything. What he discovered in those final hours became the foundation for a company dedicated to solving one of humanity's oldest and most overlooked problems: nervous system mastery.

If you've ever felt like you're running on autopilot, surviving instead of thriving — this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

Why your nervous system is the most under-optimized system in your life
What Jhanas are and why elite performers are calling them "MDMA without the drug"
The #1 reason most people plateau in meditation (and how to fix it)
Why time management is actually pain management
How AI is being used to scale personalized meditation coaching to millions
A live guided meditation experience you can follow along with

Steven also walks us through a live jhana practice — so stay until the end for a 7–10 minute experience that could open a door you didn't know existed.

Still tired no matter what you try? The problem might not be your schedule—it might be your cells.

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, we explore why energy, aging, and performance all begin at the cellular level—and how declining levels of ubiquinol may be a hidden reason behind fatigue, brain fog, and accelerated aging.

As we get older, our bodies naturally produce less ubiquinol—the active form of CoQ10 that fuels your mitochondria (your cells' energy engines) and protects against oxidative stress. When this drops, your energy drops with it.

But this isn't just about aging—it's about how you live.

In this episode, we break down: • Why cellular energy declines with age (especially after 30–35) • How oxidative stress damages your mitochondria and accelerates aging • The critical role of ubiquinol in energy production and cellular protection • How poor lifestyle habits drain your body's ability to produce ubiquinol • Simple habits that support natural ubiquinol production (nutrition, sleep, movement, stress reduction) • When to consider supplementation or medications that include ubiquinol for additional support

The key takeaway? You don't just "run out of energy"—you lose the ability to produce it at the cellular level.

By supporting your body's natural production of ubiquinol—and reducing the oxidative stress that depletes it—you can begin to restore energy, protect your cells, and slow the aging process from the inside out.

Because real energy doesn't come from caffeine… it comes from healthy, functioning cells.

Feeling more disconnected than ever? AI is getting smarter, but are we becoming less human?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu sits down with keynote speaker and relationship expert Thom Singer to explore a growing problem in the age of artificial intelligence: the loss of real human connection.

As AI continues to transform how we work, communicate, and think, many people are unknowingly losing the very skill that will matter most in the future, our ability to connect, build trust, and show up with presence.

This conversation goes beyond technology and into what it truly means to be human in a hyper-connected, digitally distracted world.

In this episode, we explore: • Why AI and technology may be weakening human connection • The difference between networking and meaningful relationships • How to build trust and authentic presence in a distracted world • Why connection—not intelligence—will define future success • The hidden cost of digital dependence on your relationships and well-being • How to reconnect with yourself and others in a deeper way

Thom Singer shares decades of insight on professional relationships and explains why "who you know" is no longer enough, it's about how you show up, how you engage, and how you create real connection.

Because in a world where everything is becoming automated… your humanity is your greatest advantage.

Feeling older after 35? What if the real reason your body is breaking down… isn't aging, but interference?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, I sit down with nutritionist Stephen Heuer to explore what really happens to your body after 35, and why so many people begin to experience fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, slower metabolism, and declining energy despite doing "all the right things."

Together, we unpack a controversial but fascinating perspective on how modern life may be accelerating biological aging—and what you can do to take back control.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Why energy, metabolism, and recovery decline after 35 • The truth behind bone loss and osteoporosis • Gut microbiome dysfunction and its role in aging and inflammation • The difference between ionic calcium and traditional supplementation • How antibiotics, toxins, and environmental exposures impact your body over time • The deeper connection between biology, energy, and long-term healing

This conversation challenges the conventional narrative around aging and asks a bigger question:

👉 Are we blaming age… when the real issue is interference?

If you've been dealing with chronic symptoms, low energy, stubborn weight gain, or feeling like your body isn't responding the way it used to—this episode will give you a new lens on what's happening beneath the surface.

Because after 35, it's not just about getting older.

It's about understanding what's interfering with your body's ability to function, repair, and thrive.

What if your fatigue, burnout, and chronic inflammation aren't problems to fix, but signals asking you to change the way you live?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, I sit down with double board-certified physician Dr. Ann Maria Hester to explore a powerful shift in how we understand health, disease, and healing.

After years in traditional internal medicine, Dr. Hester recognized a deeper truth: many of the conditions we struggle with today are not inevitable. They are the result of how we live, think, and relate to the world around us.

My conversation with her goes beyond surface-level wellness advice. It dives into the science and psychology of lifestyle medicine, and the often-overlooked role of identity, belief, and consciousness in shaping our biology.

If you've ever felt stuck despite knowing what to do for your health, this episode will challenge how you think about change, and show you why knowledge alone isn't enough.

In this episode, we explore: • Why burnout, brain fog, and chronic inflammation are signals, not failures • The six pillars of lifestyle medicine and how they drive long-term health • How chronic stress rewires the brain and impacts your body • The connection between identity, belief systems, and behavior change • Why information alone doesn't create transformation • How meaning, faith, and connection can become powerful forms of medicine • The truth about healing as an active, daily practice, not a passive process

This episode is a reminder that healing isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about realigning with who you are, and consciously choosing how you live.

If you're ready to take ownership of your health and step into a more intentional, energized way of living, this conversation will give you a new framework to start.

Dr. Marianne Pinkston is a board-certified family and functional medicine physician with nearly 30 years in solo practice, based in San Antonio, Texas. After personally overcoming rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, diabetes, and obesity, she transformed her practice and launched New Bloom, a personalized functional medicine platform focused on helping women reclaim their health, identity, and vitality. She is also the host of the Dr. P Better Life podcast, now in its fourth year.

New Bloom: mynubloom.com - Podcast: drpbetterlife.com - Instagram: @drmariannepinkston

Key Takeaways:

Chronic stress and adverse childhood events (ACEs) create a biological environment of inflammation that drives autoimmune disease, cancer, obesity, and metabolic disorders.
Survival mode — the state of constantly being in fight-or-flight — is the root cause, not just a symptom, of most chronic disease.
Identity is medicine. Changing your body requires changing the story you tell yourself about who you are and what you deserve.
Emotional eating, people-pleasing, and overworking are survival mechanisms rooted in childhood experiences — not character flaws.
Boundaries are not walls. They are a form of self-love that creates the biological conditions for healing.
Dr. Pinkston lost 120 pounds over two years, reversed her diabetes and cancer, and is now an athlete at 57.
Functional medicine addresses root causes — stress, identity, lifestyle, nutrition — rather than managing individual symptoms in isolation.
Dr. Pinkston's Best Medicine: gratitude, paying it forward, and using lived experience to guide others.

Dr. Georgine Nanos is a board-certified family physician based in Encinitas, California, and the North American Medical Director for Exo Mind — the world's most advanced TMS device. She has been practicing medicine for 24 years and pioneered the world's first single-day TMS protocol, publishing the landmark study in 2024. Her clinic, Kind Minds TMS, offers the full spectrum of TMS treatments from performance optimization to treatment-resistant depression.

Instagram: @drgeorginenanos

Dr. Judson Brandeis is a board-certified urologist, men's health specialist, and author of The 21st Century Man. Based in Northern California, he has integrated the Exo Mind TMS system into his practice and recently launched Global Men's Wellness — an AI-powered Men's Health large language model trained on curated medical literature.

Website: brandeismd.com
AI Platform: globalmenswellness.com

Key Takeaways:

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) uses safe magnetic pulses — no electricity — to stimulate the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex, the brain's emotional control center.
The traditional 40-day TMS protocol has been condensed into a single day with equal or better outcomes.
Dr. Nanos' published trial showed a 90% response rate and 72% remission rate — more than double the remission rate of antidepressants.
TMS is not just for depression. It treats anxiety, PTSD, burnout, brain fog, insomnia, perimenopausal symptoms, and performance optimization.
The one-day protocol costs approximately $10,000–$12,000 and is not covered by insurance (cash pay only for accelerated protocols).
TMS creates a "window of neuroplasticity" — the brain is most receptive to new patterns immediately after treatment.
Dr. Brandeis' personal experience: woke up 15–20% happier, more creative, with greater mental clarity — sustained for months.
Dr. Nanos' Best Medicine: sleep and exercise.

What if the real edge in life and business is not strategy… but energy?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, I sit down with Wing Lam, founder and CEO of Wahoo's Fish Taco, to explore what it truly means to bring the Aloha energy into how we live and lead.

Aloha is not just a greeting. It is presence. It is a shared breath. It is generosity and grounded leadership. And from a biological perspective, it matters more than most people realize.

Success looks powerful from the outside.

But what happens after you reach the top?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, I sit down with NFL Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk to explore something rarely discussed publicly: The identity crisis that follows peak performance.

We discuss:

The hidden biological cost of hustle culture
Why achievement can create chronic stress
What happens when your primary identity disappears
Reinventing yourself after success
How your energetic state influences your DNA and mitochondria

Your identity is not just psychological. It is biological. Every belief you hold creates a neurochemical cascade that affects your nervous system, immune function, and mitochondrial health.

If your identity is built on performance, proving yourself, or constant productivity, your body may remain in survival mode long after the external success is achieved.

This conversation is about conscious reinvention.

Because success without alignment can quietly cost you your health.

In This Episode You Will Learn

How identity influences gene expression and longevity
The biological impact of chronic stress
Why elite athletes struggle after retirement
The science behind energy and mitochondrial function
How to consciously evolve your identity

Is chronic illness really about food alone?

What if the real root cause is the signal your body is receiving every day?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu explores a powerful concept in longevity science: chronic disease is often driven not just by diet, but by the biological signals we send through stress, sleep, relationships, mindset, and environment.

Drawing from functional medicine, neuroscience, and emerging longevity research, Dr. V explains how your body is constantly listening. Every thought, every interaction, every stress response sends a biochemical signal that either promotes inflammation or supports healing.

In this episode, you will learn:

Why chronic illness is often a signaling problem
How stress hormones influence gene expression
The connection between the default mode network and inflammation
Why social isolation increases mortality risk
How to shift your internal environment to activate healing

If you are struggling with autoimmune issues, metabolic dysfunction, burnout, or chronic inflammation, this episode will change how you think about recovery.

What happens when you stop playing it safe and trust your inner knowing?

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu sits down with Robin Switzer, founder and CEO of Hack Your Health, to explore what it really means to bet on yourself and turn personal healing into a global movement.

Robin shares her deeply personal journey from metabolic dysfunction, emotional eating, and identity patterns that no longer served her, to becoming a trusted leader in the health optimization space. Along the way, she reveals the hidden tax of disconnection, the courage required to follow intuition when logic says play it safe, and why learning to pause may be the most powerful medicine of our time.

After COVID, when many would have walked away, Robin faced one of her most defining moments. She lost a business partner and chose to use her own 401K to keep the mission alive. There was no safety net, only conviction.

We are living through a Joy Crisis.

Leaders, physicians, high achievers, and everyday humans are waking up successful on paper, yet spiritually, emotionally, and energetically empty.

In this episode, Dr. V sits down with executive coach Dianna Moore to uncover why joy has quietly faded from modern life and how to bring it back with intention.

Dianna spent 25 years in aerospace, moved into executive leadership, later became COO of a venture-backed startup, and now coaches high-stakes leaders in medicine, technology, and cybersecurity. Her journey did not begin with joy. It began with survival.

At 18, she was a young mother in college with a baby on her hip. Achievement became her fuel. Later, she realized achievement and joy were not the same thing.

This conversation blends science, wisdom, personal experience, and real leadership insight. It offers a grounded path to reclaiming joy in a world that rewards burnout.

What We Cover:

What Joy Really Is - Not happiness, not distraction, not numbing. Joy is a deeper internal state tied to meaning, purpose, nervous system balance, and long-term health.
The Joy Deficit in Modern Leadership - Medical leaders, cybersecurity executives, and corporate teams often operate in chronic stress without emotional recovery. Joy has disappeared from everyday language and the results show up in burnout, isolation, and strained relationships.
Success Versus Joy - Dianna explains how achievement became her identity. Promotions and accomplishments created momentum, yet not fulfillment. Joy had to be cultivated separately.
What Joy Looks Like Somatically - Dr. V breaks down how joy affects inflammation, hormones, mitochondrial function, and healing potential. This is where mindset, biology, and longevity truly connect.
Simple Practices to Rebuild Joy - Helping others, movement, strength training, reconnecting with your childhood imagination, and returning to purpose. These accessible practices help you reignite joy even in difficult seasons.
The Top Joy Killer: Comparison - One of Dianna's most powerful insights at 25:04. Comparison drains energy, confidence, and presence. It is one of the fastest ways to shut down joy.

What You Will Learn

Why joy is a performance strategy and not a luxury
How to identify signs of a hidden joy deficit
Ways high performers accidentally numb instead of nourish
How to tell the difference between comfort, happiness, and true joy
Why meaningful relationships matter more than professional success
Daily practices that create noticeable joy in under five minutes
How reconnecting with your childhood self restores creativity and vitality

Show notes:

Uncertainty to Resilience
- Yes, you can make it through it. If you come to a difficult situation, look for the lesson. Your mindset will look for what it wants to see. So have a lens in life that would allow you to see the magic.
- Everything happens for us, not to us.
- No one else can control our minds. They can control our circumstances. But only we can control how we react. But if we surrender and live in the moment, we can always have resources for that moment.
- It's okay not to be optimistic all the time. It's a process. Don't be discouraged.
Shifting from Conventional Medicine: Breast Cancer and Crohn's Disease
- I went to study medicine with a clear mission of changing from the inside out. But I got breast cancer while in medical school. This experience gave me the best practical lessons that I pursued in my career.
- I knew diet had something to do with Crohn's Disease.
- It's not about choosing from one polar opposite to another. It's about using these as toolboxes where we can get different tools to help our patients. Our goal is not just to slap a label and let patients walk out with prescriptions. Our goal is to find out WHY so we can reverse it.
- One of the core components of genius is curiosity AND humility. We're taught in medical school to have certainty and absolutes, but the truth is everything we do is filled with uncertainty. Embracing that uncertainty with curiosity allows us to open up to possibility and to learn.
Advising how much testing a patient should do
- I've learned over time with experience how to use gut intuition: Listen to your patient. Labs are usually to confirm a theory. Testing is secondary. Do a great history.
- You want to have a doctor that listens to you, that creates a safe space that feels collaborative, and gives you hope.
- A great free test is a visual acuity.
Finding a doctor with a different perspective
- We need more doctors who are excited about going deeper. We need to engage more physicians to be more excited about helping patients.
- Find a doctor who will listen to you, who is curious and humble.
- Medical gaslighting is like when a doctor tells you all your labs are normal and are afraid to say they don't know what's wrong.

Creating your Brand
- As you create a brand, you are also recreating yourself. We may not bethat person yet, but as we list things as part of our brand, we’re given a chance and reminder to live each day to become that person.
- First step is to recognize that you may not be that person yet, but you can start creating moment-to-moment choices to be that brand. You actually become that person over time and over habits.
Branding Doctors
- One patient at a time.
- Being happy to help one at a time tells your brain that you are safe. And when you are safe and got more than enough, you get out of the ego mode and you can help others.
Finding your Frequency and Essence
- If you look at your skills, your knowledge, and your desire and utilize a way to balance the three, you can find your frequency.
- Rediscovering your essence is doing the things that pull you forward. Always thinking too hard about the next right thing you need to do actually holds you back. Just take action—at the end of that, you're just either going to feel you want to do it more or you learn from that and find something about yourself.
Dealing with judgment and doubt
- The institution and training of medicine is a very hierarchical system. Certainly, there are people that doubt what I'm doing. But I also feel that the world is evolving and breaking open to new ideas. Colleagues who are living with the stress of modern-day conventional medicine doctors are starting to ask why.
Building a community for your brand
- There's power in 100: Engagement.
- Grow as organically as possible. Tapping into your true frequency can be felt by people and they will engage more and become true ambassadors.
- Frequency is magnetic. And two similar frequencies resonate.
- It's about amplitude, not the followers.

From Pharmacy to Preventing Alzheimer's in Women

I learned so much from my mom's illness— not only about the disease but about living a full life. We don't know how much time we have.
There are a lot of risk factors that increase for women during perimenopausal years, the same risk factors for Alzheimer's

Why women tend to be more predisposed to having Alzheimer's?

We don't know the exact reason. But there are some facts that contribute to those risk factors: (1) women tend to experience stress and anxiety at greater levels, and (2) our gut microbiome shifts during the perimenopausal stage.

Does the drop in hormones have a role?

It hasn't been studied well, but I personally do think there's a link because the symptoms that men and women experience when their hormones decline are very similar to the risk factors of cognitive decline.
There are so many other conditions related to aging that we have to think about like osteoporosis, but we can use the same preventative strategies.
Women who undergo bioidentical hormone replacement say they experience improved bone density, cardiovascular risk factors and cognitive health as well.

Where to begin: The first step to prevention is to start with simple steps that you can actually do consistently.

Women often do not put their health first for many reasons such as finances, time, or priorities. But there's a lot things you can do at home to start.
- Diet - Our modern-day diet is not as clean as it should be. Eliminate processed foods and sugars. Glucose imbalance is associated with cognitive decline. Eat whole foods and clean protein, predominantly plant-based. Improve gut health by including prebiotic and probiotic foods.
- Sleep - Prioritise good sleep hygiene.
- Learn to be mindful to reduce stress and anxiety. Practice meditation or whatever that could help quiet your mind.

Women's Biology and Psyche

Women tend to have diffused attention spans because they have to take the details of so many different things to make sure they can act accordingly and keep the tribe safe. Many people, even after knowing the things they can do, find it very difficult to start prioritising themselves because of this instinctual drive.
It has to be a personal choice. Us, women, have to recognize that it's not selfish to do things for ourselves and our health. Happy mom, happy home.
Sacrificing our health and wellbeing does not necessarily better our families' lives.

Initial Practices to Snowball-building a Self-Caring Habit

Start with exercise. As you try to squeeze in that workout in the morning, the more it gives you energy and motivation.
You have to have something that when you start doing, you will realize that the world doesn't fall apart around you, then you can continue taking more steps to prioritize yourself AND fit in everything else that you want to prioritize.

Tapping to what brings you joy

Permission

It really takes an internal driver. Maybe it means hearing over and over again that it is OK to put yourself first because a lot of us are externally validated. It'll come with time. But once you cross that line, it becomes significantly easier.
For men, allowing your partner that personal time is very important.

First step to YES

Start every day with a moment of being grateful for something in your life that's created by YOU. If the answer is nothing, then you have to evaluate. Life is too short to not be bringing joy to yourself.

The MindBodySpeak Method

Bringing consciousness and intention to every single moment.

Mastering the Energetics of Voice

Voice is life. Speaking with distinction directly affects how safe we feel about externalizing our thoughts.
Talking increases blood pressure.
The voice makes an impression. The words are vehicle; the voices is the body. Being able to master the vocalization gives life and power to words.
Life becomes a reaction to what's happening around us. In that reactionary phase, our voice is weak.

Vocalization

Most of the people who care about their voice are singers, actors or public speakers, in so far as the goal of delivering a song, a line or a speech solely. But for most of us, it's just talking. But the voice can tell where you're from and what you're feeling.

Techniques and Things to Remember

The Yawn Stretch does things to our body. It helps in circulation as stress relievers.
Box breathing is a military-based breathing technique soldiers use to fall asleep on a battlefield.
We have to reset our system and maintain. Like what we learn in Thrive State, we have to do consistent maintenance for the long haul. We have to respect our biology.
Implementing little breaks throughout our day gives you space to command yourself how you want to show up. If your energetic state is calm, you can show up differently.
It is very challenging to sit in today's world and verbally communicate safely. Everyone gets the wrong sense, and you can get canceled. Being comfortable on one's skin is not just a metaphor; it's also about how you feel with your body when you speak.

The Magical Universe of Mycobiome and Microbiome

Everything plays a part in an ecosystem. You cannot isolate one part. In the microbiome, you should look at the entire ecosystem—not only the bacteria but also fungi. They play together either to help us or harm us.

Gut Testing

guttesting.com is a quiz that could quickly tell you presumptively if you have imbalance in your microbiome. But to get a better look of your microbiome health, there is a Gut Test Kit available now through biohmhealth.com.
DNA testing of microbes (both bacteria and fungi) helps test out imbalance and pinpoint the things that are out of balance. Then it comes with suggestions for treatment.

Treatment Suggestion Approaches

Diet - You can regulate your gut within your hands.
Lifestyle - sleep, exercise
Stress - managing stress
Supplementation - Knowing first if there is and what the imbalance is about helps you target more specifically your supplementation needs.

Prebiotics vs. Probiotics

Prebiotics are basically food, while probiotics are live.
Prebiotics are basically fibers, which you can find in oatmeal, beans, etc. Our body does not break it down. When they reach the intestine, there are beneficial microbes that uses them as food and break it down, which then starts producing small molecules that helps balance our gut.
Postbiotic is a new area experts are looking. Instead of using live probiotics, you can either take the metabolites that the live bacteria secretes or the live probiotic and kill them, which makes up another form of probiotics. For example, it is very good for the skin.

Regenerative Therapies

Started in bone marrow transplant. Having to wipe out their immune system and reconstitute that with someone else's stem cells is a miracle of medicine.
The evolution of CAR-T therapy has taken that to a whole new personalized level. There's so many opportunities to leverage cell-based therapies to make small and big parts of our health better.

Regenerative Medicine Unpacked

If we ground your body up and measure how old your physical body is, it's the best estimate that the average age of the cells in your body is 7-10 years, no matter how old you are.
Regenerative medicine happens every hour, every day to the degree we don't fully comprehend. The drugs we take, the exercise we do, and the food we eat and how that affect our regenerative ability have probably the biggest impact on how we age, how we recover, and how we grow. These are areas we weren't taught in medical school, but science made us realize how important it is to protect and promote the regenerative capacity of our body. And that unlocks the miracle of medicine in the future.

Cellular Therapies for Healing Congenital Heart Disease

One of the tissues in our body that does not regenerate very well is the heart muscle—just about 1% growth rate in a year. This makes it inadequate to repair heart attacks or missing parts. Science is trying to find fertilizers and seeds that we can use to stimulate the heart.
The fundamental game-changer that Heart Works is the world's first to offer is the ability to bio-engineer new seeds to grow new heart muscle. This technology of producing autologous heart muscle has the potential to cure many diseases.

Cells with the same genetic material vs Cells without the same genetic material

Because of the economics of producing autologous tissue (one product: one patient), most people argue it's not feasible, practical, and sustainable. I believe otherwise. An example of that is bone marrow transplants that we've done for decades. That doesn't mean it will not be expensive and it is not right for everybody.
If you replace tissue with an allogeneic tissue, you will need immunosuppression so your body will not reject it. Hence, there's a real possibility, for example in a heart transplant, that you're trading one disease for another because you may be able to live longer with the new heart but will develop some kind of cancer in the future because your immune system has been knocked down. So using autologous heart muscle is a much healthier, ideal way of doing it.

Using culture-expanded cells

From a regulatory standpoint, in the US, people are not allowed to pay to participate in a clinical trial, which is not the case in other countries. This maybe is the fundamental difference in terms of regulation.

Cultivating Discipline

Discipline is like callouses on your hands. It starts with creating habits. It's a combination of resilience and habit. You don't get them right away, but when you do, it hurts a little bit. But over time, they harden and get thicker, and you no longer feel the pain, or you learn to handle it.
You have to have a big enough reason to see through it. If your passion cannot be turned into a business or career, then find something that at least can get you to spark but can get you to stick to it long enough until it becomes ingrained and until it leads you to the next step.

It's gonna be hard, it's gonna be messy, before it's gonna be wonderful.

Comparison is the thief of joy. But comparing yourself to who you are yesterday is totally healthy. You do it to celebrate growth, no matter how small.

Which is more valuable: Resilience or Passion?

We can actually have both. But resilience is like the activation energy that you use to build your muscle. Whereas passion is instantaneous. If you don't have resilience, you cannot go forward.
Diamond = Heat + Pressure + Time is the same as Greatness = Stress + Passion + time.

Simplest/quickest things you can do to cultivate discipline:

Start with just one and something simple. Do the hardest things first, so you get it out of the way.
Don't check your phone in the morning. Start with a simple breathing exercise: in for 4, hold for 7, out for 8.

Changing the Energy around our DNA

- Restrict the time you eat
- Move every single day.
- Practice sleep hygiene.
- Go to sleep and wake up at the same time every single time. Practice a good nighttime routine.

The IMPACT Framework to Stay in the Thrive State

I (a)M - the bold vision you have for yourself
Pause - the breath and space
Awareness - being mindful of the action you're about to make
Choose - the conscious choice
Take Action
Thrive State is about making conscious choices that put us in an energetic state that feeds into optimal health.

Default Mode Network: The Seat of the Ego

We created the ego within ourselves to protect us from danger. It basically forms who we are as people; part of it wants us to survive but it's an autopilot.
When we don't react and show up differently, there's a different energy.

Mo's Best Medicine: Having zero expectations of everybody else.

Turning the focus to Lifestyle and Longevity
- Dr. Lufkin admits that there is evidence that what we're being taught (what he used to teach) in medical school was incorrect. Upon having four metabolic diseases, Dr. Lufkin himself started pivoting and implementing some of those changes in his lifestyle until he got off from meds. Now, his passion is to help send this message across the medical community and longevity and anti-aging space.
- Nowadays, type II diabetes can be reversed by restricting certain carbohydrates.
Lies I Taught in Medical School: The Book
- With each chapter featuring a “lie” he taught in medical school, this book according to his website is based on Dr Lufkin’s experience as a professor of medicine at both UCLA and USC, is a “riveting, cautionary tale of how medicine has gotten things so wrong (and continues to) in several key areas: how chronic diseases are all linked by common root causes overlooked by our system; how financial incentives, simple human error, and other factors drive the soaring rates of chronic disease; how Dr. Lufkin was able to reverse these diseases in himself by changes in lifestyle that anyone can do; and how to keep these errors from ruining your health.”
Biggest Lies Taught in Medical School
- That a calorie is a calorie and that to lose weight, you just need to eat less and exercise more. It's hard to exercise your way out of a bad diet. The more you exercise, the more you would need food. So you also must understand the different food groups.
- That the best treatment for Type II Diabetes is insulin.
- That in cardiovascular diseases, we have just been treating the symptoms but not really the underlying disease. Statins don't really change things. Same with mental health - we just treat the symptoms.
Ketogenic diet has been seen to help some patients reverse their mental illness. Junk food has effects beyond cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and Alzheimer's but also on abnormal behavior patterns.
Rapamycin is the Future of Anti-Aging
- It is the most promising anti-aging drug. Studies, both ongoing and concluded, shows its role in slowing down menopause, fighting cancer, in Alzheimer's and many other.
- Rapamycin’s Magical Story: It has not been discovered until 1962 on a remote island with a very unique environment. At first, it was used as an anti-fungal agent for athlete's foot. Scientists incidentally discovered its immune suppression function, including slowing down cancer growth. It enabled the discovery of arguably the single most important protein in all biology—the TOR, which single function is to allow survival.
- There's a whole theory of longevity based on TOR activation. FDA approved Rapamycin in 1999 but only in 2010 for longevity
Robert's Best Medicine: Lifestyle, particularly nutrition (what and when you them in the body).

The "Suck" is a Magical Moment
- Loss is inevitable, but it still sucks. Thriving is one of the stages as we fly forward. But before we fly forward, we have to embrace the suck that we're in.
- Through these moments that sucked, there are magical moments. Through the loss and dark moments, find the things you can lean on—like relationships.
- When we have a cliche of breakdown, the pain is so big, we let people in. We can lean into those relationships.
The Bounce Factor: How do you recognize the magical moment?
- Building resiliency is not having to be so tough. It's more than toughness. It’s not about being so rigid. It’s having that ability to bounce and be agile.
- Defining and changing your environment. You have to get clear about your upbringing. Get out of your current environment. Maybe you just need to do something differently, something that lights you up. Control your narrative.
- Stretching your emotional capacity to feel. Spin your perception of the situation. Instead of asking “why me”, ask “why not me?”
- Radical self-awareness. Make rituals that work for you. Create that wiring for yourself.
- Key to resilience: You don’t need to necessarily fear or run away from those emotions. Sit in them, and allow your choices for yourself rather than run away.
From Falling to Thriving
- Embrace - Embracing the fall lets you know that there's something else that's being asked of you. It can make you feel victimized but recognize that the fall is really the signal to thrive.
- Ignite - Ignition can be a lot of things, e.g., ending a relationship, quitting a job. It is about making a choice for yourself. But that's going to be uncomfortable.
- Rise - Leaning into the discomfort.
- Magnify - Starting to feel the newfound confidence.
- Thrive - Knowing that you’re not immune to fall, but you're saying “bring it on.” Recognizing that it's part of it, and paying it forward.

The Four M's of Longevity

Mindset
- The mindset is perception.
- Our perception of some things determines how fast or slow our physiology responds.
- In a 20-year-long study, the individuals who perceived aging as a process of gaining wisdom showed to have lived an average of 7.5 years longer.
- The moment you notice fear on any level, let that trigger your mind to look from the other side. That will train your mind to just look forward vs. back; into seeing new potentials and possibilities that will speak to your physiology and have a positive effect.
Movement
- There is nothing that compares to exercise when it comes to slowing down the biological age (at the cellular level).
- If you are in the top quartile of people doing exercise, you have five times less chance of dying from anything than the people in the bottom quartile.
- We have these perceptions of what it means to move/exercise. How we perceive the rightness and wrongness is what gets us stuck, and we never move forward.
- Move in a way that feels good for you.
Molecules
- What we miss the most are the essential molecules that the cell needs to survive let alone thrive—oxygen, complex carbs, essential amino acids.
- Oxygen is one of the most important. We are in a chronic state of hypercar
- We are excreting too much CO2 and not getting enough O2 at the cellular level
- Start with being aware of your breath: Breathe slow, low, in and out through the nose.
Meaning
- A long life lived well. Of purpose.
- Being here now and noticing what brings richness, curiosity, and light to life.
- Just by being here now and sharing this information—consider what has meaning for you—can be a gamechanger for the future.

Principle of Nutrigenomics in Simple Terms
- You cannot out-supplement a crappy diet.
- 60% of determinants of health are about diet. 20% is intelligent supplementation. 20% are topicals applied from the outside, to biostimulate the skin.
- Sugar attaching to collagen in your skin causes fine lines and wrinkles.
Do's and Don'ts for the Skin
- The closest the food looks to its natural state, the better it is for you.
- The sad diet is devoid of nutrients, highly processed, and high in sugar and unhealthy oils.
- Sugar, fats, and dairy (for some people) mostly affect the skin.
- Essential fatty acids must be balanced. Too much omega 6, and too low omega 3 pushes you to inflammatory pathways.
- Many people are mineral and vitamin deficient, especially vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc.
The Gut-Brain-Skin Axis
- There's chemical information shared in these three all the time.
- Fiber helps with dysbiosis. Fiber is the preferred food of good bacteria in the gut. Butyrate heals the gut, propionate affects the liver, and acetate goes out to the skin.
- If you want good skin, start with fiber.
Spore-based probiotics (Bacillus) and diet
- The microbiome creates vitamin K, hormones, and other neurotransmitters that are essential for well-being. Gut-produced neurotransmitters don't cross the blood-brain barrier, but it wakes up afferent fibers of the vagus nerve going to the brain which sends information back down to the gut and spleen that regulates inflammation.
- Most of the probiotics that we take are going to get destroyed in the stomach so they don't really do that much. You need above 2 billion CFU to have much effect.
Nutrients from Plants: The job of the pigments in plants is to protect the plants from UV damage. So when you eat food that is high in these phytonutrients, you get the same skin protection.
When do you need deeper testing?
- It depends on what your objectives are.
- 70-80% of our patients will need treatments following the same principle: healing the gut, cutting down things that cause inflammation, and boosting the immune system. But to some people, these things wouldn’t be enough, thus, the need for deeper testing.
- Some useful tests: whole genome sequencing vs 16S, GI tests, organic acids, and other metabolite tests, food sensitivity testing
Sleep, Stress and Skin
- You absolutely need at least 7 hours of sleep. During this critical time, your body can do its “housekeeping.”
- Breathing is the first aid for stress

Length = Better Function?

Women care more about girth. Stimulating a woman involves more of the external structures so length does not necessarily do the magic.
If you have erectile dysfunction, your penis will start to shrink anyway because it's not getting enough pressure.

What happens in the P-Long study?

The P-Long study is the first study to ever look at both length and girth and function.
P-Long Protocol is the first and only clinically proven protocol to naturally increase the size of the manhood without surgery, fillers, or the risk of negative side effects. It uses the following:
- Platelet Rich Plasma Injections
- AFFIRM Nitric Oxide Booster
- RestoreX Traction Device
- Dr. Joel Kaplan Vacuum Device

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy involves isolating the platelets and injecting them back into the body in a clotting cascade that initiates healing. In urology, PRP is used to improve penile and clitoral functions. An ultrasound-guided injection is part of the training protocol for P-Long providers.

Traction Device is an extremely well-researched device for peroneus disease, and it can grow the penis for about 2cm. It is used every day for 6 months.

Biologic systems are malleable. If you continuously apply pressure, your length can move too. But using the traction device for 8-10 hours is impossible. The P-Long study is done to find a way that's possible for people with jobs and other things to do.

Supplements: Nitric Oxide

Nitric Oxide (NO) is released from the nerves into the blood vessels which causes the blood vessels to dilate. NO create cyclic GMP. Cyclic GMP is present in all mammals.
NO boosters are amazing because there are literally no side effects whatsoever. You can get NO from Arginine, but you can't take Arginine orally, and it can't be absorbed as that. So you have to take citrulline and then convert it to arginine to produce NO.
Another source of NO are nitrates from green leafy vegetables and beets and other root crops.

Vacuum Erection Device is a very safe device that uses collagen to improve girth.

How is this different from other ways?

Option 1: Injection of filler (hyaluronic acid) - you only get girth; last for a year or two
Option 2: Fat transfer - involves liposuction and reinjected back

Does it maintain or revert back?

They'll maintain as long as they're getting good erections.
Normally, a guy should have 30-60 minutes of night-time erections daily.
Night-time erections are the good Lord's way of keeping your penis in shape.
The first sign that your circulation is not optimum is when you're not having enough night-time erections. Ten years after you lose night-time erections, you'll lose day-time erections. And ten years after you lose daytime erections, you will have your first heart attack.
Penises are a great barometer for your circulation. Understand what your body is telling you.

Who is a good candidate?

Everyone who has a normal erectile function.

Epigenetics and DNA Methylation: Changing the biggest predictor of negative health outcomes

DNA methylation is basically the switching on and off of gene expression expression. This can be used robustly in diagnostics.
We have genes in our DNA that based on how we live our lives and the things that we take in (that makes up our cellular environment) then put marks on our DNA (methylation tags) that basically silence some genes.

Assimilation and Histone Modification in Genetic Modification

Methylation and Biological Age Testing

DNA Methylation is now used for quantifying the body's aging process.
Biological age from methylation tests predicts longevity, aging and disease more accurately.
People who have been found to have lower biological age tend to develop less negative health outcomes while those that are older in terms of biological age tend to develop negative health outcomes more frequently and earlier.

Methylation and Anti-Aging

Algorithms shift the way we practice medicine. Information about our daily lives is actually encoded in our gene expression.

Trauma can also be also passed on through epigenetics.

Transgenerational Epigenetic Transference shows how traumatic events can change the environment of our cells to basically protect generations and how it gets passed down.
Within our conscious control, we can slowly start to break free of some of that imprinting.

Is de-methylation possible: In aging, yes. Some things are modifiable, some are not.

Epigenetics and Stress

Stress is the number one driver of CTRA and telomere shortening which is a marker for aging and disease.

Is methylation bad for you: There are genes that we would want to be suppressed and not. It’s not about good or bad. The more important thing is the idea and ability to methylate and the methylation factors.

What does it mean to have a relationship with yourself:
- A lot of people default in relationships to mean everybody outside themselves, but it's actually avoiding the void of the relationship with themselves.
- We get wrapped up and co-dependent on things that are out of our control, e.g., how other people view us, how people do things, how markets, and customers change. We advocate our sovereignty over again and we operate in sympathetic victim mode, we increase cortisol and stress, we don't sleep and we keep adding gasoline to the fire. But at the end of the day, what we can do is shrink our world to everything we can control.
What we do:
- At the core, we don't fix marketing. We fix somebody's self-relationship to instill confidence and clarity and have the ability to navigate these things and use the tools they have.
- If you're doing something from a place of insecurity or lack (going to the gym, breathwork, diet), then it's just going to be a temporary void filler, end up worse than you started.
- We use marketing as a trojan horse to get people to work on self-development—getting into the deep psychology of why they want things, and who they are.
Intention is number one traded commodity today that so many people are victims of everybody else's agenda. We spend majority of our lives doing everything that prevents us from building a relationship with the one person who's guaranteed we'd be spending our lives with—ourselves!
How do we get people to start waking up earlier: Ask within and start with your microscopic wants—What do I want? Who do I want to be?
It all boils down to the choices that we make. But what matters more is that the choices we make are from a place of alignment and integrity, not from a place of of outside pressure.
Try this practice: When you wake up, before youn touch the world, practice boredom for 20 minutes, i.e., no phone, no music, no notepad. Whatever happens in that moment stays in that moment. Practice being in a relationship with our autonomic nervous system and choosing how we respond. All these same principles apply to business, marketing or team leadership.
George’s Secret Sauce: You don't need to add any more tools into your toolbox. What you need is to practice the ability to utilize what's already in there.
George’s Rule: This not for shelf-help. Listen to one. Don't listen to another until you've applied it. Start incremental progress and change every single day.

Temperature and Sleep: There’s no such thing as the perfect temperature for sleep for all people. Studies say it can be anywhere between 16-60 degrees F.
There's actually a sleep switch—when you cool your body at night, that change in the temperature turns the sleep switch, producing melatonin.
Sleep.Me’s technology: Helping people find their individual temperature and making sure there's a dynamic temperature throughout the sleep and warms up a little bit before the wake up call.
- The future of sleep is automating the sleep improvement process such as making schedule recommendations and adjusting that all throughout the night to maximize deep sleep.
Three Main Aspects to Sleep Improvement
- Environment: pertains to temperature, light
- Behaviors: pertains to what you did throughout the day and before sleeping, what you ate throughout the day, etc.
- Mindset: pertains to your mental and emotional states, i.e., are you going to sleep in a stressed state, are you taking the time to meditate, and downregulate, etc.
Three Main Negative Sleep Outcomes
- You can't fall asleep
- You wake up and can't fall back to sleep
- You slept but woke up not feeling rested
Top 3 things holding people back to get good sleep: Negative Sleep Outcome or no sleep drive can be because you are not tired enough, the environment is too hot or you think about things you have to do.
Top things you can do to get good sleep
- Start a sleep journal - for two weeks, record what you eat, what you did when and observe your sleep, be aware of your intake
- Take Melatonin - but don't take it for three days in a row to not damage your natural ability to produce it
- Focus on the environment, behaviors and mindset - there's always small things you can do in those 3 categories.

Combating stress in the corporate world

It starts with understanding what's happening in you: Your stress level and ability to handle circumstances you didn't choose determine what your day is going to be like. Chronic stress eats you up at the cellular level.
Stress is triggered by either scarcity or threat. Today, scarcity and threat come in different faces—not-enoughness of time, money, energy or knowledge.
We're so de-conditioned to be uncomfortable. But we can correct this with brain training steps. Incorporating brain training and stress management strategies with easy and fast strategies for nutrition and exercise can get people more consistent and leveling up way better physically and mentally at the same time.

Simple Brain Training Techniques

Balance + Breath: This technique takes an amount of focus and energy that shut off the amygdala (part of the brain that was confronting the stress). It brings your body back to a more relaxed state, bringing your nervous system a notch down and lets your breath and lungs rescue you.

How to do it: Keep your eyes closed for some time and think of that thing/situation that makes you feel annoyed. Let it brew for a second. Feel that little sensations of stress. Then stand up, hold on to a chair (stand on your own), and try to balance when you take one leg and hold your heel up and touch your toe back down while breathing for four counts. Shift to the other foot.

Initially, when you feel stress, do not resist. Be there with it first. Focusing on balance and breath allows a synergistic movement and activates the vagus nerve.

Modified Chair Pose

Isometric contractions build pure strength but do not create hypertrophy or muscle shape. But this exercise can give you a burst of energy and train your brain to handle stress better.

How to do it: Go into a chair pose (in yoga), like you’re about to sit to your chair but keep standing 5-6 inches away from the chair, legs apart and arms raised along the side of your ears with palms facing each other.

Your brain cannot differentiate physical, emotional or circumstantial stress. It's just strain. And it thinks that it needs to protect you. But because you breathed and tried to went through it, you are essentially telling your amygdala you got it. You gave your body a chance to be uncomfortable and not respond - not overrespond to stress. You just practiced resilience.

Practice a ritual

A ritual is a sacred time. Generally, it is a practice when you're really paying attention to what you do in that moment.

What to do: It can be a very simple thing. Rituals are things we repeat mindfully over and over. This can be things that you always do anyway.

It's the attention that you bring to it that matters. Our amygdala is lit up all day long by news, other people's stuff, emails, text messages. It trains you to focus on places that really count. It tells your brain that you don't need any protection and starts to drop that guard down, helping you to start the day from a calm place.

Q&A

On workout apps: Adrea created AndLife, being a huge believer of health and technology. But they just have to be strategized workouts; it has to be an everyday thing.
On sleep quality: You have to shut down before going to sleep. Move away from blue light. But if you do, learn something, like a TedTalk video or article. When you hold your phone, you have to have an endpoint so you can feel completion. If something feels less complete, it's hard for our brain to shut down. This will signal your brain that when you're done, you can now rest. Have a routine.

Importance of the Gut Microbiome

Frequent antibiotics in childhood were one of the major risk factors for developing cromes later in life. An early hit to the microbiome is one of the main contributing factors to many autoimmune diseases.
The importance of the microbiome is multifactorial. Diseases don't just fall from the skies into our laps. They're made, not born. We are on a path of making diseases with all these frequent and unnecessary antibiotics.

Institutions are far behind in mainstreaming microbiome and gut health to conventional medicine.

People electing C-sections need to know the risks and the price to pay for C-section to the baby’s health. C-sections are associated with increased risks for autoimmune diseases, allergies, asthma, and obesity.
- Now, they do vaginal seeding (getting the baby sort of dirty)
Health is driven by the commerce of the pharmaceutical industry. What can change it is lawsuits.

What the Anti-Viral Gut book says

The health of the host matters. It’s even more important than the potency of the pathogen. We see this in outcomes for cancer, infection, etc. It’s predictable, not random. The health of the gut microbiome can predict outcomes from Covid with 92% accuracy.
Your gut microbiome can even be more identifiable to you than your DNA.

On being too clean

The Hygiene Hypothesis: As countries become more industrialized and super sanitized, with food highly processed and wide use of antibiotics, we see the rise of non-communicable diseases like autoimmune diseases.
The important discussion now is how we can rewild ourselves without going back and increase the microbial diversity and richness in and out of our bodies while still enjoying modern convenience.

Healthy Gut = Solid immune system

70-80% of the immune system lives in our gut. When there's an imbalance in our gut, it can lead to autoimmune diseases.

What causes dysbiosis in your gut

Antibiotics. Enormous scientific data about this is available.
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most commonly prescribed drugs. They're good at what they're supposed to do but also completely mess up digestion and sabotage one of your body's main anti-viral defenses. Heartburn can be treated by diet and lifestyle for many of those taking it.
Painkillers (NSAIDs) destroy your protective barrier.

How to keep your gut healthy

Power to the people = putting health in people's hands. And knowledge about how your body works and how they are integrated is real power.
Prebiotics are food that gut bacteria eat. High fiber food, leeks, onion, garlic, high in inulin like oats, beans, and anything fibrous.
Probiotics are live bacteria that, when ingested, confer benefits to the host. But if they don't actually make it to the gut, it doesn't count. So better to focus on probiotics already in the gut and help them with prebiotic foods.
Postbiotics are the metabolites that bacteria make. Help healthy gut lining and modulate the immune system.
Fermented food - get you pre, pro and postbiotics.
Think about what you're trying to treat. The different probiotic choices for different problems.

Myths on Vision Process

Pick something and do that one thing. Do that really well and see what works for you. Start stacking those small wins.
Visualization. It is one of the easiest ways to reprogram the subconscious. Do the Perfect Day Exercise. Take 15 minutes of your day and write out in detail what your perfect day would look like. Compare with your reality and see the gaps. This is a great exercise to align with your truth.

Myths on Fasting: Is it all just caloric deficit?

If your goal is to lose weight, there are great benefits and good data from fasting. When there's no energy around, we go through a process of autophagy.
Short fast: If you're eating all the time, you secrete insulin all throughout the day, exhaust your pancreas and develop insulin resistance. Long fast: Autophagy.

Myths on Healthy Eating: Does it really cost too much money and time?

It's a myth! There's ways to do it without sacrificing the integrity of the food you eat. Example: Breakfast: Smoothie. Easy. Lunch: Salad with protein. Don't waste too much energy because 30% of our energy is spent on digesting. Dinner: Have some carbs so you won’t have to worry a holiday dinner.

The Present of Stem Cell Therapy:
- The last decade has been uncertain. Today we know that authorities are beginning to gain a sense of comfort with cellular medicine.
- Over the next 2-5 years, we see more approvals of using therapeutics from living cell sources. People are able to devote their own cellular products to maintain their own health, like putting something away in your savings account and using it later in your life.
- Cellular medicine has intrinsic safety to it. It focuses on cells derived from the host. One of the easiest to control because of the sources of cells.
What does other's DNA do in our body
- Bottomline: No matter how healthy we are, we all have residents in our own DNA, as a function of age and function of birth, fundamental deficiencies or defects that don't necessarily allow us to have perfect biology.
Chimerism is using cells from other sources to augment your DNA. Natural selection will select traits that are of survival advantage. We're going to come to a point where we can read one’s genomes and read the genomes of a library of donors and select those donors that can actually augment one’s biology.

If you have enough minerals, soluble vitamins, and fat and know how to calm yourself, you increase your resilience even in such a dangerous place. It's the sense that 'you got this' that creates peace in the world.
Being 'peaceful' because you're beaten down, exhausted and malnourished is not peaceful at all; that's defeated. I want people to be peaceful by choice.

Ways to Defeat the Default Mode Network

Turn off the triggers with EMDR, trauma healing, etc.
Get the right food and supplements. You need the right energy from the right intake to create more awareness and be able to identify the DMN patterns and make choices beyond that. If you eat foods that put you in a high-power state, you are better able to meditate. Go for a diet that leaves you bursting with energy and meditate, and you'll see what more it can do for you.

What makes a good story

3 Cs of a great story:

Is it Clear?
Is it Concise? It has to be remembered and repeated.
Is it Compelling? It has to touch on the heartstrings which come from the awareness that we buy through emotions.

Basic Structure of a great story: The magic is when people see themselves in the story.

Exposition - describe the situation. Paint the picture. Who, what, where, when.
Problem - The better you describe the problem and show empathy for it, the more they think you have their solution. Show that the stakes are high.
Resolution - What is life like after they take action.

Sample of a Case Story

Putting together your story jukebox

How to use stories in building connections

Show some vulnerability.

There's always the choice of being the movie director of our own life—you can always say 'cut!', change the cast, change location. That gives us the freedom to not stay stuck in whatever situation we're in.

When we tell stories, we illicit emotions—it can be emotions of stress. We can change the meaning and illicit positive emotions that also changes our biology.

Tool for Resilience and Letting go of stressful obsessions

Practice the 555 method

Zoom out and ask: Will this matter in 5 minutes, 5 days, or 5 weeks? If the answer is no, let go.

Watching out for non-GI symptoms of GI issues

It's important to learn these because you might be chasing the wrong symptoms for the wrong issue.

Food triggers, imbalances in the bacteria, colonies in the gut, or leaky gut can cause unexpected symptoms. Watch out for (non-exhaustive): skin problems, MCI, brain fog, anxiety, depression, joint pain, thyroid problems, small intestinal bacteria overgrowth, correlations to lipids, etc.

Does everything start in the gut?

Starting in the gut is important. Diet, Lifestyle and Gut Health Foundations Model.

The testing doesn't really change a lot the way how you treat the person. The biomarkers in GI are theoretical for the most part but they don't necessarily tell you what diet or probiotics you need.

The Ruscio Institute

It’s a multidisciplinary integrative clinic which promotes a more cost-effective model of functional medicine. We take what works from conventional medicine.

Getting bias out of the way, questioning everything you're taught or told, and taking it on the merits of evidence, can be freeing and get you to really help people. Take the ideas on the basis of what support they have and not what camp they come from.

Gut Health and Diet

Paleo-like Diet is a rough proximity to the spirit of the paleolithic ancestor diet. Simply put, it means eating food that has not been or minimally processed.
Pro-tip: Shop the isle of the grocery. Apply the 80-20 principle—if you can’t hunt or forge it, don’t eat it.
But some people can't process too many fruits and vegetables. So better to resolve the dysbiosis first. Then you can reintroduce the grains or vegetables. As the gut heals, the lining of your intestines of villi that secrete enzymes repair, making people better able to digest food and develop tolerance.

Choosing your pre/probiotics

Both work. Probiotics have more evidence for most things. Prebiotics has more probability of flaring for people.
Start with probiotics: more evidence, better evidence, fewer adverse events.
People start to look at probiotics as drugs because of what companies are doing on specific strains and specific issues while they actually have tremendous overlap. It's not about using probiotics like a drug reductionistically but about how we can create a simple guide to using probiotics to heal the gut.
Three main classifications of probiotics: Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Blends, Saccharomyces boulardii, a beneficial yeast.Soil-Based Blends, usually Bacillus species. If we combine all three, they work better than having just one.

How do you actually "heal the gut"

We don't always need to quantify, at least in the early phase, pre and post-gut biomarkers. The individual symptoms are a much better way to stir the process than repeat biomarker assessments.
Elemental diet has yielded great results for gut health reset and even some autoimmune issues. Use your own biofeedback to stir up how long you want to use it.

For Chris, exercise helps. The combination of exercise and the meditative state that he enters when running helps in creative thinking.

Pro tip: Have your phone handy to write the ideas down when it comes up.

Five Unexpected Methods of Disruptive Thinking

The ingredients of game-changing innovations starts with grounding to your basic truths.

Creative persistence - Seeing it through; not only persistence but finding creative solutions
Eliminating friction - strive for simplicity; "all you have to do is" is a sign of too much friction
Picking your obsession - innovation lock in on where you believe; stick to it even in the face of resistance
Connect to emotions - pull from the heart
Non-consensus insight - hold your convictions; but as a leader you have to communicate that

How is Innovation connected with Emotion

Your team builds connection emotionally when they contribute ideas and understand how it can be an act of service–by impacting people.

Finding love, Discovering breathwork

I realized that the reason I'm not allowing myself to go deep into relationships is the unconscious decision in my head that the world is an unsafe place.

Role of Breathwork and Psychedelics in our Awakening

Awakening from the unconscious conditioning in my life has been liberating.

Breathwork for the Brain

Breathwork in general is deeper breathing. You decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the body. As a natural mechanism, the body recreate carbon dioxide making the blood more alkaline. As the blood gets more alkaline, that's what creates the shifts in the brain activities, such as quieting the default mode network (DMN).

The DMN is like the brain's orchestra - exerts inhibitory influences on other parts of the brain. When the DMN is taken offline, the inhibitions are released giving you a healing experience from some of the things that have been long suppressed.

In Michael's breathwork, one key step is to let whatever needs to happen happen. It's the combination of physiological, psychological and the music used allow the breathwork experience to happen.

Knowing the right breathwork for you

Choose based on your purpose. The more you use a certain neural pathway, the stronger it gets. It will bring up what you're ready to experience. Trust, surrender to the experience.

With breathwork, people feel they do have the answers within, that they have resources, and feel self-empowered and able to access creativity and intuition.

Benefits of Breathwork

Breathwork is not new. Conscious control of the breath can induce experience.

It is even reflected in languages. It's rediscovered.

The Problems in Our Health Care System

Despite developing the most sophisticated technology in healthcare, American healthcare system continue to fail people because:

We have a system where the three main actors (providers, pharma companies and payers) are not aligned. They have been pulling the triangle further and further apart that raises the cost of healthcare.
Millions of people are not covered at all.
We are NOT accountable for our own health.

Nutrition is the game of medicine

We’re just burning the candle with exercise if there’s not enough sleep (recovery) and proper nutrition.

Every day is a vote whether we want peak performance or be sluggish. Food is either posion or medicine.

The Xpill Idea from The Matrix

It all started with the Red Pill which builds on the power behind intention.

The pill means change but also an irreversible choice. It symbolizes change and commitment of the conscious and unconscious mind.

It's not the manifesting tool I thought it was but a truth-telling pill just like The Matrix. If we're in alignment, it happens quickly. If not, it shows you how.

Activation process

3 Requirements for Activation:

Have a clear intention.
Be ready to take full responsibility.
Welcome the sensation in your body.

Absolute choice is necessary. Last-minute resistance or fear could come up. Notice the change happen.

It's all about the context and that part about the context that makes it a great experience.

What defines culture is anything that contains it—what gets you in and what gets you kicked out

KEY: Shifting the energy. Culture is more important than an individual. The first task for community (corporate) leaders is letting people go to show that no individual is above the culture. Be very clear and transparent about the process

Having clear agreements is the currency of culture.

One-minute SHIFT

Your physical, emotional, mental, spiritual states are all connected. Each state has a signature of moving and breathing that lets you remember and your body to take cue from it.

Robb's Medicine: Co-Creation. Having other people.

Why Burnout?

It was literally one thing after another in just a span of one year. I was always a mover and a goer. Until I saw the signs that were so unlike me—being insensitive, not caring about anything, apathetic.

I thought burnout was like a BS excuse of weak people, but it happens to anyone.

Burnout Red Flags

Compiled stress manifesting physically, mentally, emotionally, spritually and socially like unnecessary road rage, snapping at people, drinking too much, zoning out, anxiety, immune issues like eczema, rash, etc, depression. The list is endless.

Mindset Shifts Tips

Burnout is something you have to work out every single day—making small, consistent changes, and mindset shifts.

Some Mindset Shift Practices:

Decode your flow. Stop doing everything. Figure out what you really want to do. Do a "love it or leave it" test.
Slow down to speed up. Find the balance of slowing down and speeding up to give your body time to recover and recuperate. Tips: Turn the music off in your car for some time. Practice the Coco Chanel takeoff on your schedule or to-do list.
Release the reigns. Practice letting go of the urge to micromanage and let someone else do it.
Pivot like a pro. Instead of being destination-focused, focused on being able to pivot and move with agility. Signs that you need to pivot: Envying a person or a situation, often making jokes about someone or something.
Take a victory lap. Focus on gratitude, the progress, the small wins. It's the small little pieces that we deal with every single day that affect us more. If you're making progress throughout your day, you end up feeling good about yourself. Tips: Create a 'wins' folder in your email and file emails that say nice simple things.

How do you start a Mindset Shift off from a Burnout

When you're feeling flustered or burnout or just not yourself, stop and ask: what is better for my health right now? Take the moment to answer that question. The world is not gonna end if you don't jump to the next thing on your list right away.

Erin's Best Medicine: Slow down to speed up. Trying to be ok with doing less.

The Cognitive State of the World

In psychoimmunology, cortisol and adrenaline are the two killers. Stress, fear, and anxiety are the biggest factors in neurological and immune functions.

We're all gonna get sick at some point, so it's about taking care of the body. Supplementation is not an option, it's essential now.

Modern life and Covid19 response made us disconnected too much from natural things.

We are nutritionally depleted, socially disconnected, stressed out. The best therapy is live interaction—getting yourself around friends, doing things you love to do, laughing.

What Digital Devices and Social Media Do to Our Brains

Our eyes and ears get tens of thousands of pieces of information every second but our brain cannot process it all—our biggest problem is how we filter that (our bias).

Everyone has bias—it's called mindset. And that's why it's very important.

Default Mode Network and Digital Dementia

95% of our life is controlled by our subconscious. Most people try to make changes at the conscious level. But we go on default mode all the time.

19:38 Digital Dementia and Sleep

When people with digital dementia sleeps, instead of being in delta, they flip and became high beta (the wide awake state) while sleeping. This causes a dysregulated brain which can lead to dementia and Alzheimer's if not fixed. While high delta while awake can help lessen brain fog, anxiety, memory loss, stress.

If we don't sleep well, we don't detox our brain. During the day, the body shuts down mainly because there's a lot of inflammation from the we eat to the toxin exposure.

Alzheimer’s is fundamentally a network insufficiency.

Your brain’s master switch moves to a protective, downsizing mode when there's network insufficiency.

Alzheimer's through the lens of functional medicine (root-cause medicine)

We have to quit thinking of people as prescription pads. We have to think about people as complex systems and look at how these things all work together.

Functional medicine deciphers the little insults you do to your body which makes it respond in a certain way.

Types of Alzheimer's

Typically, people would have multiple contributors but they would have one or two dominant ones.

Type 1: Inflammatory Alzheimer's - mainly caused by inflammation

Type 2: Atrophic Alzheimer's - low energy, hormones, nutrients and growth factors; typically older, more often female

Type 1.5: halfway between 1 & 2 due to glucotoxicity

Type 3: Toxic - brought by toxin

Type 4: Vascular

Type 5: Traumatic - endure frequent injuries

EMT is the cell's response to insults which leads to fibrosis.

Giving steroids is just pushing off the response.

Genetics and Alzheimer's

Genetics will increase your risk but not the determinant. People with APOE-e4 gene copies have a higher risk for Alzheimer’s (the most common genetic risk factor). If people know about it, we can do active prevention or reversals.

Cognoscopy

A non-invasive series of tests composed of blood tests to check your inflammation and methylation status, a simple online cognitive assessment (CQtest is free) to help you assess what intervention you need, and an MRI to check if you’re having areas of atrophy.

Cognitive Health and Nutrition

The signature of Alzheimer's is reduced glucose utilization in the temporal and parietal lobes.

Critical for optimal brain function: Insulin sensitivity and keto adaptivity

As you age, your memory and cognition can be further affected by the way your body uses glucose. When you're metabolically flexible, you are able to use glucose and ketones and go back and forth for optimal brain function.

Keto12/3 = 12 hours of fasting between meals and 3 hrs between your last meal and before going to bed; plant-rich and mildly ketogenic diet = to get metabolic flexibility.

Measures and Checking Ketone Levels

People who are doing best in their cognitive improvements typically score between 1.0 and 4.0 m/m hydroxybutyrate or between 10 and 40 acetone level.

Other Root Causes

Dementogens are actually everywhere, and you should know if you're exposed to these in three groups: inorganic toxins (air pollution, mercury, etc), organic toxins (benzene, glyphosate, etc), and biotoxins (various molds species).

Detox and spend more time outdoors. We, human beings, are not evolutionarily designed inside mold food and yet that's what our homes are typically made from.

The Microbiome and Cognitive Decline

Oral and nasal microbiome are very important in cognitive health. The same microbiome alterations (P-gingivalis) that gives you periodontitis can give you brain disease—critical in cognitive health.

You can get an oral DNA test from myperiopath to check your oral microbiome.

The End of Alzheimer's and RECODE Program

Alzheimer's is not set in stone. It's never too early to start optimizing brain functions.

Reversal of Cognitive Decline - an algorithm used to see the subtype and identify what the person needs.

Dr. Bredesen's Best Medicine: Psychology—the best health coaches are good psychologists.

The Feedback Journey

Not being able to handle feedback and not knowing how to show up caused emotional blindness.

Why people run away from Feedback

Feedback does affect us neurobiologically—we are tossed into a toxic state of stress. The experience of getting feedback is not only unpleasant but physically debilitating.

People run away from giving and receiving feedback for fear of the unknown. We end up doing a lot of feedback aversion and not a lot of feedback conversion. We approach feedback with fear, hesitation and skepticism. But feedback is meant to help people.

Think of feedback as something to grow from, not only as something to go through.

The 3M Method of Feedback: MINDSET

Feedback is a two-way dynamic, but if we get the giving of feedback right, we can do more service for the receiver.

Align these things to give feedback right:

Mindset - Come to terms with the fact that the past is unchangeable. Orient yourself towards a future that can evolve. The sooner you make the shift, the sooner you can be positioned for growth, not fear.

"FeedFORWARD" is strengths-based, future-focused feedback that doesn't dwell in the past— a place of possibility and potential. It is where human potential evolves.

The 3M Method of Feedback: MESSAGING

Stop serving a praise sandwich—a diminished message. It serves neither the giver nor the receiver. Praise, when rooted on effort and process, pays and is a powerful motivator. But the problem is when you sandwich it—you dilute the message.

Praise sandwich dilutes trust and tarnish the relationship between the giver and receiver of feedback.

The Feedback WRAP

Feedback WRAP (What and where, Reason, Affect and Prompt) is a four-part plan for having more candid, caring and collaborative conversations confronting issues that matter when they matter most and it delivers the information in a just-in-time fashion to help people's determination to change.

What and Where: Give your feedback a zip code. Be really clear about the intention—let people know very clear what are you going to talk about.
Reason: Tell your reason to give people awareness and a sense of security or certainty.
Affect: Think about impact, not judgment, describe not prescribe. Focus not on what they did but on how others experienced it. Name it, not blame it.
Prompt: Shift from telling and selling to listening and learning.

Feedback becomes a partnership, a two-way dialogue. Always ask for permission to share a feedback, move it on a neutral ground.

The 3M Method of Feedback: MEASURE

Best way to create accountability is to create self-accountability. Help people take charge of their own path of progress.

As the giver, encourage the receiver to look back at their goals and check back in to reassess. Feedback will happen more frequently and fluidly.

Being a mirror-holder for people receiving the feedback shifts the dynamics from "doing to the person" to "doing for the person."

From wounding to finding my WHY

Moment of Awakening: I get richer, but it's not making me any happier. I couldn't look at myself in the mirror. The world may be applauding me but I know I was a well-dressed shark.

Living in the Matrix: Finite Games and Infinite Games

We are caught up in this Western society's standards—playing finite games. Men play finite games. But the only game we have to play is the infinite game of evolution.

Playing the infinite game of evolution where you don't seek any trophies but reach your highest potential. When you play that game, you can freely play in any finite game you want because you're not attached to the outcome anymore.

Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of the child at play.

We take ourselves and these finite games way too seriously. The only thing you should take seriously is your personal evolution and reaching your highest potential.

On Downsizing and Change

It's not easy. But if you want to be free, you have to let go of the attachments to things that you think say about you as a human being.

The change process can get messy. But it's a part of the evolution in you.

Reminders:

(1) Everything is always in perfect order. Everything is here for a reason, to give you something. So ASK: what good in this situation am I not seeing now? Difficulties and challenges are not random and are not punishments.

(2) Everything always happens with the greatest growth, prosperity, and evolution. Remember that we only see 1% of the reality—we see the effects of causes of what might be beyond what we actually could know.

No man ever steps the same river twice. This universe is changing eternally. So you're never stuck.

Tools to Staying Awake

There's a lot of chaos in the world right now. When you get triggered, tell yourself: That's not me. It's passing through me. I am not angry, I am experiencing an angry emotion. Keep your own tranquility.

Meditation can be used in a practical way. Like working out, find something that you enjoy.

Everybody is a healer—our job as coaches is to awaken that within people.

What your genes tell you

You can't change your genes, but you can change how they are expressed. You can modify your lifestyle based on certain aspects of what your genes say.

The DNA is not your destiny, but it is your tendencies. Looking at genetics helps tell what you're prone to for your entire life while bloodwork is a snapshot in time.

“Snips” (Single-nucleotide polymorphism - SNPs) Explained

DNA is essentially like a recipe book.

DNA turns to RNA turns to proteins. The different proteins in each cell constitute what that cell does or how it behaves. SNPs create different proteins or different biology for certain types of protein.

Knowing what snips you have could help you control for optimal health.

Changes in the DNA environment you can do for Autism

Genes that make methyl B12 and methyl folate are one of the most drastically influential for people with autism.

SNPs for Tylenol: Don't drink alcohol and take Tylenol.

Tylenol trashes your liver and depletes glutathione. Oxidative stress is one of the root causes of all evil in health and tylenol is one of the worst things to aggravate that.

SNPs for Diet and Sleep
SNPs that modify the signaling that we're full. The signal gets delayed and so people with this tend to overeat and should watch their portions.
SNPs for fat transport: People with this drop weight immediately when they drop dairy.

Finding out about your SNPs for diet is not just about you losing weight but about finding the optimal diet for YOU. When you're on an optimal diet, you can optimize your chemistry.

MaxGen Swab DNA Testing is a simple cheek swab testing with a ten-day turnaround time, one of the fastest now.
What to do with your results

Most functional medicine practitioners likely know what to do with it. It's a lot of information but take the time to read it and look up some things

Each SNP comes with an actionable thing that you can do.

Being lit up is good for you and your genes. Being playful and having humor are anti-aging.

What biohacking is building: It's our natural state to have more than enough.

Being enough is a sign of fear. So quit wanting to be enough, because you're way more than enough.

You have to be available for it. You don't manifest what you want but what you are - what you are able to sustain vibrationally.

Be mindful of your thoughts. People are addicted to suffering because it produces so much cortisol. Negative thoughts will keep on coming. But we are all meant to be infinite.

To operate on the frequency you want, you have to open up the doors to continuously receive. It comes down to awareness and being open and available for all.

12:54 - 14:23 Habits to Operate in Higher Vibration and Frequency

Learn when and how to say: I'm sorry, I'm not available for that negative thought.

Don't spend time with people who are not on the same frequency anymore. Have conversations with people who have the vibe you want to have.

Spend your time thinking about the things that light you up. Accept the fact that this is what it is but think how you can get ahead of it.

You attract what you are being. You light up by being present.

18:40 - 19:43 Life happens for you and not to you.

You don't have to wait for a trauma to wake up and change things.

Struggle is the sandpaper for our awakening. Every struggle that comes to our life is a gift from the universe.

10:36 EARTH: Grounding and Earthing with PMF

When you walk barefoot, you charge your body.

When you don't have time or safe space to do it 30-40 minutes a day, you use PEMF to charge your blood and fertilize your organ systems. It promotes the absorption of whatever supplementation you're giving your body.

21:26 WIND: Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT)

We are not getting enough oxygen these days. The diameter of narrowed microvessels are restored with hyperbaric oxygen. Reinforcing the amount of oxygen in the body will keep the microvessels healthy and the bad guys inside the body don't like oxygen.

04:08 - 08:33 Journey to discovering Martial Arts

The beauty of chaos is the peace you see in its midst. In chaos, I saw the most peaceful moment of my life—no masks, limitations, ego. You are free. All of the old ways of thinking are somehow turned off and you become truly present. When choosing between fight or flight, remember that having courage is a choice inside of fear, not the absence of fear.

09:41- 10:56 Finding the authentic self and finding who we're not

The authentic self is the unbiased noticing observer that you are. The martial arts path teaches that the enemy was never outside, it's that voice within. We are a collection of our wounds from rejection, betrayal, and abandonment, which makes us seek security, control and approval. That constant seeking is the enemy.

11:09- 17:41 Quieting the chatter and getting into flow

We try to trigger to get into flow. But flow is natural. We just have to figure out what can stop us from falling out of it. The trying itself creates expectations and tensions that actually impede it.

Flow is always present. Flow is being. Flow is really us, devoid of these other things. But we stop being in the flow because of our attachments to victory and defeat, to people, places and things, and to security, control and approval.

The thoughts will keep coming. But we have to be aware of who is thinking.

17:45 - 19:58 Five by Five by Five Challenge: Simple practice you can do to rid the things that block your flow and change your perspective.

For five days, five times a day for five minutes, you set a time alone. Focus on your breathing and try to achieve stillness of the breath, mind and body. The stillness of the body is when you stop and sit straight. The stillness of breath lies at that moment between the inhale and the exhale while the stillness of the body. The stillness of the mind lies in the breath.

20:01 - 23:13 Deepening your awareness

Practice deepening the awareness of yourself, of others, and the situation. Between the stimulus and our response. And in that space, we choose our response. This is the same foundation for making the choice for building healthy habits.

23:13 - 28:27 Building a conscious operating system

The greatest move of all in martial arts is the time out. It is the ability to pause, breathe, step back, survey the situation without an emotional attachment and see clearly for what it is and then choose a response.

We can build this system and ability: the CQ (conscious quotient).

28:37 - 33:27 The Stillness Method

We have to stop reacting in the tensions created from our reactions by training to cultivate three stillnesses:

Stillness in stillness: in a seated posture, not moving
Stillness in movement: start to move and maintain the stillness
Stillness in movement in chaos: peace in the chaos

33:34 - 35:32 There's no hack to tap into consciousness.

The secret is in the ways in training—in transformation. You have to go do the work to do it, that's why it's priceless. Especially for men, practice listening.

35:44 - 40:20 Discipline Over Doubt

It's NOT a discipline problem; it's a self-worth and self-love problem.

The primary response system should be self-love and discipline is the emergency response system. That way, it is more sustainable.

41:10 - Free yourself from you

We thought that getting our power back is by exerting power over others and being able to control it. But the truth is, conquering yourself is what makes you fearless.

Death frees you and allows you to live from moment to moment and to become passionate and kind. And that takes strength.

People that lives with a sense of purpose tend to live longer—it preserves your telomeres, you heal faster, you get less disease.
Finding your Alignment and Purpose: Go back to your childhood and ask yourself:

Biggest Health Challenge for American Men: Learning How to Take Care of Themselves

Toxic masculinity can literally get you killed. Erection is a function of circulation. And problems with erection can light a bulb to warn you of potential circulation dysfunction.

Ways to reduce risks of premature death from cardiovascular disease: Don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't eat too much, exercise, get good sleep, stretch, meditate, and be good to other people. We know these, but we don't do them. The KEY is do the things we already know we need to do.

Body Composition Scan compels guys to do something—they respond to numbers and get convinced that something's off in them.

We tend to complicate things. Not all people are simple but the basic thing is calories in, calories out. High - protein, micronutrients, fiber; Low - carbs; healthy fats.

Why ED is more prominent now: Testosterone levels get lower because of the sedentary lifestyle. Blood flow starts in the heart and the two last places that the blood reaches are the toes and the penis. When blood flow stops going to the penis, it stops working.

Sexual Healing and Medicine

(1) Addressing the signal: Nitric oxide - is the messenger that opens up blood vessels. Nitrates turns into nitrites to help blood vessels. As you get older, you produce less nitric oxide. So you have to boost these in your body.

(2) Declogging the wipes: Using an intense wave of energy that doesn't cause tissue damage but tricks the body into thinking that it does to generate stem cell production. PRP—isolating platelets and WBC from the rest of the blood and reinjecting them into the penis—with shockwave therapy promotes stem cell production.

Finding the right help: Going to the doctor is a partnership. Help your doctor by writing down your medical history and why you're visiting the doctor. Make a list of questions and hand it to your doctor at the beginning to get the most out of your doctor's appointment.

Definitions of Fasting:
- Common Definition - abstinence from all or some kinds of food and drinks.
- Physiological Definition - switching from external glucose for energy to burning stored fatty acids and ketones as main source of fuel.
- Cellular Definition - absence of triggers of nutrient sensing pathways to stimulate stress resistance.
Not all fasting is the same: Less than or more than 48 hours.
Benefits of Fasting Hour by Hour: Glucose levels fall, food has been metabolized, growth hormones increases, stored fat is used for energy, ketosis, glycogen stores is depleted. Good for weight loss and metabolic flexibility. By the 24th hour, autophagy starts. On the 5th day comes a complete immune reset.
Fasting-Mimmicking Diet: When the body senses nutrients, it turns on different pathways. And if they’re on constantly, it leads to cellular aging and growth. But if they do get a total reset, it leads to stress resistance. FMD is feeding the body with just a minimal amount of nutrients that doesn’t beyond the threshold for reaching autophagy as if you’re doing a water fast.
Autophagy is a way of the body to “clean the house” or innate recycling.
Fasting with Food - ProLon (FMD): Fasting State - Autophagy - Renewal. The process allows the body to mimic the fasting process and get its benefits—healthy aging, weight loss, improved performance, increased mental clarity and energy.
Always be mindful when breaking your fast: have a transition day.
Top 12 Tips when on a Fast
Water, water, and more water. Stay hydrated.
Spice it up. Add lemon to your water or spices to your soup.
You can still enjoy your coffee—but only one small cup, without cream and sweetener.
Stay active. Light exercise.
Share with someone. Talk about it so you can have people to support you or hold you accountable.
Ommm. Meditate. Helps to keep your centered and focused.
Be productive.
Good night. Good sleep is one of the keys to health.
Coach yourself.
Give. Help others.
Fast with friends.
You can take it with you. Go out and enjoy the weather.

ProLon is not for people with allergy to nuts, oats, sesame. Do not fast if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, pediatric, malnourished or underweight, and experiencing symptoms or treatment for an active infection or risk of recurrent infection.

Do’s and Don’ts
- FMD is not designed to diagnose, treat or precent any disease states.
- Consult your provider and continue your medications for treatment purposes.
- Hydrate properly.
- Expect mild fasting-associated complaints such as fatigue, headache, dizziness and difficulty concentration.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and exposure to high or low temperature environments.

How habits form: As human beings, we develop our neurobiology—which also starts the development of our identity—including good and bad habits. As we evolve, creatures with nervous systems developed a learning process called positive and negative reinforcements. We learn to do two things—to eat and not to be eaten. Our ancestors learned the basics to survive.

Default Mode Network: a network of brain regions discovered by Dr. Marc Raichle. When people think about themselves a lot, like regretting the things they did in the past or worrying about the future or crave, the Default Mode Network gets activated. It is a way for us to survive. Our negativity bias, and confirmation bias help us survive.

There's an anatomical connection between the conceptual sense of self and the experiential sense of self. The experiential part of the default mode network is anatomically connected to the hippocampus so there are memory connections. We attribute memories to strong emotional experiences like pain.

Seeking comfort and avoiding pain is in our subconscious. Overtime, it is who we are becoming. 95-98 percent of life is actual habits, and it's very adaptive. As we develop habits, it frees up our brain from relearning things, giving our brain the energy to learn new things.

Habits are not only behavior, but also personality. People can develop anxiety or worry as habits.

The thinking brain is not nearly as strong as our feeling body. We feel cravings and urges. An emotional state like anxiety is perpetuated through habitual mind states. Feeling of anxiety is not the habit itself, but anxiety can trigger worry thinking, which is a mental behavior.

People don't usually know that they have a certain mental habit. If they don't work with it as a habit, they're never gonna get out of it. Some people benefit from medication but everybody can benefit from learning how their mind works and working with their minds.

Awareness and mindfulness vs Negative Loop of Anxiety: Fear mechanism drives our fight or flight response. Anxiety is fear about the future. Worrying about the future makes thinking and planning go offline. One way to work with anxiety is from a mechanistic perspective.

Target habitual behavior. Habit change is all about reward value. If you want to change behavior, you have to change the reward value. Pay attention to habits we want to change. Know its reward value and make a better offer and alternative.

Be the master of your habits: 1. Map out the habit loops. 2. Pay attention to what results are not very rewarding, drip the reward value. 3. Bigger better offers we can compare.

Apps for your habits:

-unwinding anxiety app

-eat right now app

-craving to quit app

Psychedelics may help quiet down the Default Mode Network and might have some therapeutic potential for anxiety and depression.

Default Mode Network is a marker for flow.

The general concept is expansion versus contraction. Eperiment on things that make us feel the expansions or contractions: meditation, breath work, walking, hiking.

Heart attack remains to be the number one killer around the globe.
Precision diagnostics: Advance technologies such as the new type of CT Scan that uses Artificial Intelligence to look for vulnerable plaque in coronary arteries, full body MRI, gut scanning, genome scanning, whole genome sequencing, and epigenetic testing.
Techniques and therapies:
- Muscle release therapy is similar to fascia stretching, trying to unwind muscle fascia, break up scarred tissues, and muscular lesion, like little knots that happen in injuries due to overuse, bringing them to a state where they should be.
- Cupping therapy, scraping and/or gua sha - decompressing muscle tissues so blood flows well, bringing nutrients and oxygen, promoting healing. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects.
- Laser therapy - good for reducing or solving pain and promoting healing.
- Shock wave therapy (using acoustic sound waves) breaking up calcification in muscular and skeletal muscles; used a lot for shoulders, elbows, and knees tendonitis; bringing in an anti-inflammatory response; reaches deeper than laser therapy.
- Ultrasound-guided regenerative procedures
Good blood flow increases lymph flow, promoting better immune system and detoxification.
Regenerative medicine using tools that promote healing:
- Platelet-rich plasma or PRP from blood extracted from the patient spun down to produce plasma that contains growth factors that support healing.
- Use of exosomes which are packets of inflammation that stem cells would have when actually secreting will start healing and regenerative response.
- Cell spray like placenta cells that has a capability that allows regeneration.
How Chiropractic fits in longevity: By helping athletes recover faster from injuries and pain, they can continue with their training, and daily exercise routines without pain right away. It loosens up the body to be able to move and do things properly.
How the musculoskeletal systems keep in resonance with the nervous system: If we are stressed out, we put our body in a contracted state. All the systems in our body are controlled by our nervous system, the nerves, our muscles, our digestive system, etc. Every specific segment in the body is controlled by the nerves, By doing the adjustments you can down-regulate the nervous system and take you to your sympathetic—your fight-flight state, to a parasympathetic state, rest state, just by feeling relaxed state.

As a radiologist, I know what those diseases looked like in the body. I was at the top of my game, but underneath the white coat, I was diabetic, had high blood pressure and I was on prescription medications. I didn't like the man I had become and how I am as a doctor giving medical advice, telling people to be healthy when I'm walking chronic disease statistics myself.
Growing up from a refugee camp, as a striving immigrant was really something. There's certainly some trauma that I picked up too, because there's a lot of energy. Those experiences really shaped me.
Reclaiming my health = breaking the facade: When your body's going through stress, like when you're in that mode of chasing, you don't feel those feelings of true gratitude. It was really tapping into who I truly am as a person–acknowledging, accepting, and loving who that person is. And then diving deep into nutrition, epigenetics and what it really means to be healthy.
Small adjustments to nutrition = huge shifts. Took the personal development route to understand myself and understand the emotional states I was in. The emotions that we feel every day actually dictate our biology. The spiritual side and community side also influence the biochemical changes that happen in our body.
Chronic diseases, Performance and Longevity: It's all very related. It all boils down to the state of our cells—they work together through energy to form tissues, tissues work together through energy to form organs, organs work together in organ systems. And then they make up who we are. So if we want longevity, peak performance, and optimal health, we want all our systems to be optimal.
Our state has less to do with our DNA, but actually on how the DNA responds to its cellular environment. The bioenergetic state is made up of the things that you feed your cells.
1 BioEnergetic Element: Sleep is so important because it controls your circadian rhythm, which is really the ebb and flow of how your body responds. Get some sunshine, exercise, meditate; get rid of blue lights Good sleep routine and environment, journaling.
YOU are your best medicine: Stepping into yourself is a great starting point to reverse chronic diseases or conditions.
Emotional States and Health: Negative emotional states drive up the inflammatory response in our body. But as you cultivate positive emotions and start to feel better, you're gonna start to think better, seeing things from a different lens. Positive emotional states are actually antiaging.
Dr. V’s favorite hacks to drive away negative emotions: Pause. Breathe very slowly. Gaze softly. Hero’s pose.
Bioenergetic State Framework: Our DNA is not a fixed thing. It's how these genes are turned on and turned off on a moment to moment basis that determines how a cell behaves. The DNA is constantly listening and interacting with the environment that's around it—the bioenergetic state.
Changing habits and routines: HERO Prescription. Hunger. Energy. Reclamation. Optimization.cg
Optimization hacks: Ice cold bath, intermittent fasting.
Finding your Why: Sharing us with other people and the gifts of the struggle that we have been through and have overcome is our purpose—all the things that bring us joy. Our biology is really gifting us with abundant health in peak performance. When we know who we are, then we get to serve the brilliance of who we are with other people.
Importance of EQ: When you're in those lower vibrational, emotional states of anger, fear, resentment, jealousy, worry, anxiety, your ability to think and communicate with another person is diminished.

Insulin: The hormone that is increased when we sense blood sugar. It is released by the pancreas and latches onto our cells, allowing doors to open for glucose to enter into the cells.
Insulin Resistance: When insulin signal is not working anymore. It is a metabolic problem associated with a lot of chronic diseases.
Symptoms of uncontrolled blood sugar: Sugar craving. Getting hungry even after you've eaten. Getting fatigued or tired, particularly after meals. Panic attacks. Longterm symptoms: hormonal imbalances - acne, a polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Pathophysiology of high blood sugar symptoms: Make proteins sticky and ineffective and tend to actually bind to receptors. Elevated blood sugars start to inhibit your mitochondria, and increases the oxidative stress in your body. Mitochondrial dysfunction lead to cellular dysfunction.
Hacks to control your blood sugar levels:

1 - Watch the type of foods that you eat. The simple the sugars (fructose, pure sugars, starches), the faster it raises your blood sugar levels. Hidden sugars like those that end with O (sucrose, lactose).

2 - Practice fasting. Give your pancreas a rest. When you're fasting, you’re actually using your stored body fat to be converted to energy (called metabolic flexibility).

3 - Switch the order of your food intake. Start with fiber (vegetables). Fiber coats your stomach and slow down nutrient absorption. Then proteins. Lastly, eat your carbs.

4 - Take a spoonful or two of vinegar (ACV) to inhibit alpha amla and slow down the breaking down process of starch to glucose and to increase the absorption of glucose by the muscle to form glycogen.

5 - No naked carbs. Dress starch with fiber, fats or protein to decrease glucose spike.

6 - Use your muscles after you eat. Do 10-15 minutes of very light exercise after meals to decrease the glucose spike.

Sleep well. Get 7-9 hours of quality sleep to increase grelin in your body.
Monitor your blood sugar: Do it at right around the same time every day. Get your labs drawn as early in the morning as possible. Avoid strenuous physical activity the night before. Consider using a continuous glucose monitor.

Try ProLon’s Fast-Mimicking diet. Use THRIVESTATE as code to get 15% off.

Happiness is the greatest success. It's the greatest wisdom. It's the reason we want wisdom. It's the reason we want love. No matter what you want, you really want this feeling that we call happiness. That is really a deep sense of content and fulfillment or peaceful aliveness.
Progress Paradox by George Easterbrook: Despite technological advancements that let people live a longer life, even higher quality of life, or even a healthier life, people were actually feeling less happy as a result of it. We probably struggle as much as we ever have to feel truly and genuinely connected to other people to ourselves. We experience a lot of cognitive overload.
Our brain is literally wired for negativity and confirmation bias and a number of other biases that make survival much more likely. 50% of our happiness is attributable to genetics but it's changeable.
Deviating from Happiness: Happiness is actually our natural state. Overthinking, overanalyzing, perfectionism can be great for business but terrible for your personal life and subjective wellbeing. It's terrible for happiness, peace and even self-love.
Recognize that divine discontent is pointing you to a better direction, in a direction that would make you happier in some way or the other.
A much more likely outcome from even the most challenging or disruptive forms of adversity or even trauma is actually post-traumatic growth. Most people grow from adversity and challenges. They grow even when they don't wanna grow, even when they think they can't grow.

.• Adversity always causes us to stop, slow down and reprioritize. It also weeds out relationships that are weak or not the healthiest and it strengthens the ones that are right. It helps us pay attention to gaining deeper wisdom around what our life is for, what's it about, and where true happiness lies and where it doesn't.

Happiness does lead to health. Happy people are actually a lot more responsible with respect to health such as taking healthy behaviors.
Happiness is not in the world. It's in you. It's not in the past, in the future; it's in the present and in the presence itself.
Four big steps to cultivate innate happines: Our happiness journey is mostly about happy activities or happy actions. Create a list of things, places, activities that make you feel energized, inspired, alive, and encouraged. Reduce the time energy that you invest inunhealth unhealthy, toxic relationships and create some boundaries. Set happiness as your state of mind. Entertain thoughts based on whether or not they're true and constructive. Don’t overthink.
32:19 Flow State: One way to describe happiness. In flow state, you're perfectly present and you are not living from the mind, but from a deeper place.
How to cultivate the ‘being’: Just begin to notice when you're perfectly at peace or feeling happy how quiet your mind is. Practice micro meditation. Enjoy your breath.
Most of us overlook the simple things. It's the simple things that are always most powerful and profound.
Rob’s Best Medicine: Happiness.

Why do people fast: Religion. For mental clarity and cognitive benefits. Sense of calmness.

Forms of Fasting: Intermittent fasting, Periodic fasting or cleanse.

Resting helps every cell in the body. Your digestion is like you sleeping your gut.

Fasting is so ingrained into the biology of every living organism. It is actually one of those miracles of life. Our bodies’ ability to adapt to the absence of calories helped us survive.

Cellular stress-resistant mechanisms get activated through constant recycling, degradation of the least optimal parts during a fast and making new ones after the fast.

Autophagy, or self-eating, is a fundamental process for every cell in the body which makes for the mechanism of recycling. Its the cleanup process that improves the health and efficiency of a cell.

Fasting vs Low calorie diet: Low calorie diet does not trigger the fasting responses - just a mathematical manipulation of calories coming in and out. Fasting is a stress event that causes the cells to do that auto process and cell cleanup.

Longevity Pathways: Difficult discipline of recycling leads to expansion of stronger cells.

Fasting is really not about low calories but stress. When you're stressed, your stress hormone goes up fast but will maintain your muscle integrityand mass. What you're burning are the fats starting on your belly. Muscle strength is an important aspect of longevity.

Fasting and Inflammation: The body is using the fasting period to recalibrate and lower the level of stimulation onto the immune system. The down-regulation lets your body sense nutrients that somehow changes it in a totally different trajectory.

If you're not in the right health condition, prolonged water fasting could cause dehydration, low blood sugar and electrolyte imbalance. It's not a one size fits all.

Things to consider when going for prolonged water fasting: Overall health condition. Age. BMI. Go gradually.

Fasting mimicking diet: If we're able to provide nutrients below the detection threshold of cells’ nutrient sensors, you can technically provide nutrients while achieving fat-driven weight loss. Sparing the muscle weight loss, we're able to achieve the spiritual and the emotional benefits of fasting.

Coding is something that happens to your experiences. The brain physically cannot handle all the information that it's assimilating at any one time. As you are growing and going through the experiences that you have in life, you're taking the experiences as they occur to you and fitting them into what you know about the world.

It's a simple awareness at the moment that you actually create your truth.

Foundational learning. First, we are slowly learning through physical experiential living the cause and effect. The problem is when the effect is unpleasant and we're involved, we think we're the cause. Cause we don't have the capacity to see the big picture. Second, we learn right and wrong. When people make it clear that you did something that they don't like, you are left very clear that it sits outside of their right and wrong.

Creating a thought pattern. Thought patterns that get confirmed create thoughts, internal beliefs and an internal belief will instantly switch on confirmation bias, activating your articular activating system. And you are just looking to confirm the truth that you think is an existence. So your whole biology now begins to work against you, to reconfirm to you a state that you think is true isn't necessarily.

Essential awareness: Safety. As babies, we don't really understand if we're hungry or thirsty, we just understand a feeling that's uncomfortable. Being loved. Toddlers have a sense of whether they're loved or not. The brains of babies who are not affectionately nurtured grow differently to the brains of babies who get affection. Love and affection are crucial to the way the brain develops.

Your value doesn't change from the day you're born to the day you die. But what does change is your perception of it.

Your Path to Freedom: The level of success that you will have in the world directly correlates to the image you hold about yourself. The whole world is made up inside how you think it is so get rid of the ones that don't work for you and keep the ones that do.

If you want to remove a meaning, you must replace it with something else. It is your business to keep the channel open.

Accessing your Flow State: Turn the noises off. You trust yourself more when the noise is turned off. You stop second guessing yourself the whole time. You get to listen. And when you listen, the body speaks because the mind and the body are working together the whole time.

People with cancer and have survived it usually have that epiphany awakening of their being. They have a deeper insight into life and their meaning to be here. We control this so much more than we believe we do.

The pain disappears when the mind is turned off, like when we sleep. But when the mind is back on, the pain comes back. You have to remember it consciously for the feelings to hit your body again. We know that the body holds pain and trauma, and that we consistently reconnect with that pain and trauma to remind ourselves why we are being the way we are.

On cellular health: The theory of mitochondrial metabolism at the cellular level gained tractions in her practice. Poor cellular health, insulin resistance are common factors in many chronic disorders, metabolic disorders. It is generally common to many conditions affecting organ systems.
The Wahls Protocol’s diet piece is here in a flash:
- 9 cups vegetables
- 3 cups greens
- 3 cups cabbage family
- 3 cups onion family
- 3 cups mushroom vegetables
- 3 cups deep pigmented vegetables/fruits like beets, berries, roots, and tubers
- Remove sugar, gluten-containing grains, dairies, eggs.
Best proteins are from fishes from the wilds. Liver meat and heart are fabulous superfoods.
Time-restricted eating or fasting - 3 to 7 days of fasting infuses the body with new stem cells to keep you young and healthy.
It takes efforts to change habits and extinguish harmful habits. If it can be linked to why it's important to us, it will drive us to be invested more to do the work.
Steps to Behavioral Change: Inspiration.Talk about the why's to go and change. Get people fired up in learning to do the work. Talk with the patient and his/her family to plan even small things that can be done realistically to achieve tangible successes.
Study your biosensors. Hear what the body is saying about your health. Teach patients that pain is handy to sense what might be happening inside your body. Learn to pinpoint what changes were made that triggered these biosensors to show symptoms. Learn from it or ignore it, then you can anticipate more cellular damage.

Finding purpose in life. Purpose is something you create.. whatever level of career (or work) you're in, you can use that as a platform, think of it as a platform. It can be a leverage to engage and create your purpose in life; instead of burdening oneself of finding it, struggle for it.

The need for community, collaboration, co-elevation The greatest steel is forged from the hottest fire. And crises (like the pandemic) bring out a lot, actually the best, from people. It brought out the need for community—for collaboration; bonding to help each other to survive and thrive.

Radical adaptability: It is pplicable not only in your teams at work but also to you in your community, you in your family. Keeping radically adaptable means keeping your antenna constantly tuned to changes, opportunities and also risks.

Foresight and agility is to think this way: What is it that you want to accomplish this week. Make a list and at the end of the week, take a look at that list and see what are the things that you achieved, you struggled with, missed, etc. Live your life on a weekly spread. Make goals then recalibrate…and never miss it!
Collaboration is about having your community, co-elevating, committing into each other's success.
Resilience is about mental, physical well being, and understanding it’s no longer an individual sport. You got to lean on your team for that—co-create your plan, co-create accountability.
Leaders need to have heightened awareness of their responsibility to cultivate an environment where people are taking care of each other; then each one should be aware of the need to adapt routine exactly as needed for mental and physical wellness.

From a personal trainer into online coaching: Passion behind an action means you create anything to be possible.

Investing in yourself. It is important but make it a smart financial decision. Don't invest in something that puts you in a scarcity mindset. Invest in a mentor, a coach to take you from where you are to where you want to be faster.

Turn your passion into profit: Living your passion while you don't have financial stability is a scarcity mindset. Don't just leave your job. If you're trying to do things where your passion is, start by branching off along the way. Learn more of it and maybe teach it to other people.

Confidence is a skill that we could build. Internal confidence is your mindset. One of the quickest ways to build strong internal confidence is having a morning routine. It creates stability from the overwhelming chaos in our daily life. External confidence is your posture. You have to train your posture at all times. It will give you more energy, confidence, achieving peak performance.

Creating value from a 4-part value equation: Know the dream outcome. Increase the perceived likelihood of achievement. Decrease time delay. Decreasing effort and sacrifice.

Give them convenience and they’re gonna see your more value.

Classical singing is not a style. Classical singing is the most efficient, effective way for the body to produce sound before the invention of the microphone a hundred years ago.

If you breathe as if you're singing classically, then by thinking about what you want to create, the breath stays the same as if you're singing classically and then you can create whatever sound you want. Breathing differently to create different sounds is a myth.

ST to the power of 3: When I make a sound, I make sure that I start with my mouth open. Then as I continue to speak, I stay open. And when I finish a phrase, I stop open. But you don't know that I'm doing that because I'm smiling. I am literally in a constant state of a deep breath.

Nobody in the opera world will admit that the ability to create bigger sounds is because you're bigger. I learned how to physically copy what a fat person would have naturally done which is basically staying in that constant support.

Learning to deep breathe more: Hold a yoga plank, leave your mouth open and make sounds while you're doing a plank. Because you have to hold your core to hold the plank, you automatically take a deeper breath and breathe into your back. Copy that deep breath when you stand up. And that's how a skinny person sings as loud as a fat person.

Isolate and choreograph, isolate, and choreograph—this leads to coordination. The body will figure out how to do that as you do it.

The body keeps you alive by making sure that you take another breath. We just don't know as the human race that we can be intentional about what that breath looks like. But now that we know that we can literally train ourselves to breathe a specific way, we can take command of giving ourselves a better shot.

Awesome Technique. If you want to be awesome in life, then you have to be intentional about being awesome. It's a three-step isolation exercise to make a sound specifically in awe, which is the biggest sound that a human being can make.

Why talk this way? You have to be intentional and take ownership and authorship of your own life rather than being the editor of your life. And you have to be able to stand up to them and say, I'm going to do this, it's going to make me healthier.

Losing Your Voice: The reason we lose our voices is something that happens at school. Our voices move up the power center in our guts, which is the lungs, and all the support muscles that produce powerful voices because we forget that there's a connection. It happens to anybody who isn't in their bodies.

The Gravitas Method: Finding and knowing your voice with neuro-linguistic programming. The methodology is for more practical challenges rather than clinically diagnosed trauma. This is for people who might be scared to share their authentic voice, biologically not having competence, or being in that stress state.

It is about helping someone self-regulate, pause ground, find good alignment, know how to breathe in, in a way that allows the system to feel safe rather than that kind of panic breath that people do on stage. Ultimately, it's about finding congruence; about someone feeling that they have permission to walk out on the stage and be who they are.

It starts with a Pause: You breathe in ideas, pause, close your mouth and wait. Let the next thought arrive, and then speak it.

Tips and Hacks for the Breath: Teach your brain and your breath to match your thought and the need for the length of your line. If we match the breath that comes into the thought that we speak, we're in control.

Gravitas the Book and Course: Finding your voice in the corporate sector. It’s about how you take the instrument, that is the voice, and find more calm, confidence and ease as a speaker, and how you really get congruent.

Caroline’s Best Medicine: The Alexander technique. It's a life-changing discipline created by FM Alexander, who was a speaker who kept losing his voice. He realized his alignment, his posture was the issue and he self-taught himself to find the perfect posture of a toddler. It helped me find my alignment, my ease, my voice. I felt so much calmer. It's magic.

Knowing who's “The One”: Even when I felt hurt by the person, there was something that makes my heart want to fully forgive and love despite the actions or whatever that might've occurred that hurt me.
Recognizing destructive patterns in relationships: Tensions are just a lot of the old patterns that we play out in our lives--avoidant personality or not actually being present in the relationship, self-sabotaging. We grow up with traumas and they could sit in our brain and sometimes act to prevent us from being who we really are. They're used to protect us and destructive patterns develop because of that.
Ways to break destructive patterns: Meditation. Breathwork. Psychedelics. Ayahuasca.
Being willing to work it out is how you’ll realize that the challenges, obstacles, and ugliness in the relationship are actually the gifts for us to see where we've been hurt, how to heal them, and how to move forward.
Attachment Styles: Learning these attachment styles is important because it can give you some awareness of the differences in how you interact with each other. Avoidant, anxious, and secure types. Avoidant people in the insecure spectrum don't like conflict. They tend to be very independent because they guard their heart and don't want to rely on anybody and other people to rely on them.
Attachment Styles: Learning these attachment styles is important because it can give you some awareness of the differences in how you interact with each other. Avoidant, anxious, and secure types.

We build up these attachment styles based on how we grow up, our relationship with our parents, and what tended to happen when there was stress in our lives at a very young age.

I want to run away now, but can I wake up to the fact that this is a pattern that's running in my life, and can I show up anyway? Ask yourself, how do you want to show up?

Complementing each other’s love language.
Addressing conflict in the relationship: It takes a process of recognizing the patterns.
Creating Space and ACT: Create a space to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (take a walk and 10 deep breaths) and then ACT-- Awareness, Choice and Take action.

Awareness. Notice whether you're in that triggered state, the false beliefs.

Choose. Choose your intention, the way you want to react

Take action.

The beautiful part of relationships includes going through ups and downs, and in the process, constantly wanting to become better, to evolve, see the parts that need to be healed, and give ourselves the parts that we want from the other person.
If you are the one that's more open, go for yourself first and it will reflect the work that you're doing to your partner naturally. You can't force someone to do work that they don't want to do.
You could take a step back and actually see the ride happening. By stepping back, you see that you have access to new choices and new ways of thinking and behaving to transform that relationship.
Tips from Tiffany: Nurture yourself first for the relationship to really grow. When you're in that more positive state, you're able to respond a lot better.

From Kien: Remember that a relationship is a place to give and not to get. You can't ask others to give us something that we're not ready to give ourselves. Avoid the 3Cs - close off, complain, or/and control. For women, don't make them feel unseen, unsafe, and unheard.

Tiffany’s best medicine: Self-reflection.

Whether you're done setting your goals or not for 2022, working on your mindset to actually get those goals done is the first thing you need to do.

Here's something special for you—especially for moms who thought they no longer own their lives!

Social media influencer, author, entrepreneur, and founder of No Excuse Mom community, Maria Kang, shares how she has been building a positive, go-getter, no-excuse attitude towards her goals and everything that life throws at her.

Hope this one boosts you with some inspiration and motivations--setting you up to thrive and conquer your 2022 goals (and beyond)!

Catch her in this episode of the Thrive State podcast and of course, on social media via @mariakangfitness and noexcusemom.com

5:44 Life is not against you. It's always teaching you something. I've learned so much and become so much stronger because of every single challenge I've had.
9:35 You can't control what anyone else does, but if you could be that light in that role model, they will naturally gravitate towards you or learn from you eventually in the future. The only thing you can control is what comes out of your brain and your mouth and your hands. It's all about the results that come out of you. DO YOU.
11:05 I believe strongly in the story that you're telling yourself. We wake up every day with a story in our head and we really need to address, are we the victim? Are we the victor? Are we the hero? If you keep believing in that excuse, that's going to keep you exactly where you are. Recognize and become aware of the story that you tell yourself.
12:54 Biologically, feelings of anxiety, stress, worry, or hate actually raise inflammation, lower your immunity, and put you prone to get chronic diseases. Changing your story can really change your health.
14:00 Influencer Burnout: You need to have a variety in your program. And you also need to figure out your why, which goes back to what's your excuse. I've had steady content because I really don't think about what other people want for me. I'm here not only because I want to serve you, but I want to serve myself too.
17:06 Advice for mothers (and not): You have to be very forgiving of yourself because you're not always going to feel good at the times when you're going to feel great. Take the breaks when you can. Have people around you that are going to motivate you. You are who you hang out with—No Excuse community. Continue striving, not just as a mother, but also in other areas.
19:26 Kickstarting the dreaming process: It always starts with a desire, with a thought, and realizing that I don't want to be here. You have to feel that discomfort in order to grow. Daydream and write it down. Write that first step to manifestation.
22:43 Maria’s Best Medicine: Breathwork. Grounding myself and my spirit through my breath, work, and meditation.

There’s literally thousands, if not millions, of up-and-coming technology for health optimization, longevity, and peak performance that it’s becoming more and more difficult to sift through and find the “right” one for you.

But this one’s SOLID. Backed by science. Studied and practiced by medical experts. Gamechanging technology.

Unpacking with us the latest on hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is Dr. Scott Sherr, a Board Certified Internal Medicine Physician Certified in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe).

He graduated Summa Cum Laude from UCLA as an undergraduate and Magna Cum Laude with Alpha Omega Alpha distinction from the University of Maryland Medical School in Baltimore.

Dr. Scott is the founder of Integrative HBOT and is one of the few providers in the world who

uses an integrative approach to HBOT. This approach includes cutting-edge and dynamic HBOT

protocols, comprehensive laboratory testing (using the HOMe framework), targeted supplementation, personal practices, synergistic technologies (new and ancient). He also has a

large network of allied practitioners that he refers his clients to when needed.

Dr. Scott runs his Integrative HBOT consulting, educating, and advocacy practice through his

website, integrativehbot.com.

His formal titles include Founder of Integrative HBOT, Cofounder of Hbot Plus, COO of Health

Optimization Medicine (a nonprofit education company) USA, COO of Smarter Not Harder,

Medical Advisor to the One Hit Away Foundation, and Hospitalist at Midtown Inpatient Medicine.

Dr. Scott has consulted with clinics around the world including Upgraded Labs (LA), Remedy

Place (LA), LMS Wellness (London), Port Neuro Chiro (New Hampshire), and many others.

This episode of the Thrive State podcast is not one you would want to miss! Catch Dr. Sherr take us through the science of HBOT and the many health benefits it brings! And explore more of his work at integrativeHBOT.com

3:30 Health Optimization Medicine: a nonprofit educating doctors on root cause health. We're more interested in focusing on health and health-related metrics. We have a certification course for doctors and practitioners
7:42 Integrative Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: 80% of it has nothing to do with hyperbaric therapy at all and about 20% is about hyperbaric therapy. It's this fantastic tool to help with accelerating healing, recovery, and optimization.
8:39 - 12:22 Pathophysiology of hyperbaric therapy: We typically carry oxygen through the red blood cells traveling through the blood vessels in our body. Once the oxygen gets to your cells, it gets to the mitochondria, which is a very specialized organelle that allows you to make ATP, which is the currency of energy.
14:22 Long-term benefits of HBOT: It is the epigenetic shifts that happen on your DNA. The more long-term you drive epigenetic changes to our DNA that drive angiogenesis, which increase in blood flow along with a decrease in inflammation and a boost in immunity.
16:02 Medical Indications for HBOT (covered by most insurance): Diabetic foot ulcers, radiation injury from cancer treatment, chronic bone infections, osteomyelitis, cyanide poisonings, necrotizing fasciitis, acute traumas, compartment syndrome, partial limb amputations, scorpion bites.
17:33 HBOT for investigational conditions: Synergizer and accelerator, not only of healing, but also of optimizing and improving performance. It’s been shown that hyperbaric therapy can reverse hallmarks of aging like senescent cells, erectile dysfunction.
20:51 HBOT Contraindications: It’s a prescribed therapy. The main reasons you can't go into a chamber is if you have a significant cardiac and pulmonary disease, decreased seizure threshold.
23:42 Mitigating contraindications: For seizures in the chamber and risk of oxygen toxicity, the best way is to do an air brake to induce hyperoxic hypoxic paradox (HHP).
28:06 Health Optimization Medicine Protocol: It's about optimizing beforehand the levels of vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and oxidants, gut health, hormones, developed by Dr. Ted Archer Kosovan. It's not changing the pressure, but changing the oxygen. But pressure by itself is massively therapeutic and has a direct effect at making energy more effectively, even without more oxygen in circulation.
37:25 Finding the right protocol: Make sure that the clinic that you're going to has knowledge about how you can integrate hyperbaric therapy with other technologies.
42:13 Parasympathetic activities are extremely important and hyperbaric therapy can certainly be one of those especially the longer protocols they tend to become.
43:46 HBAPlus: Creating technology that makes it easier to use hyperbaric therapy in an effective, safe, and therapeutic way.
46:34 Dr. Sherr’s Best Medicine: Meditation. It was really transformative knowing that the external world is uncontrollable.

Ready to take your relationship goals to the next level this 2022?

But are you one of those who haven’t been ‘successful’ yet in finding your ‘perfect match’?

Hang on a bit there—we all know it takes some work (a lot even for many!). This one with Christine Chang is for those who got big goals, in life and in dating and relationships!

Christine is a best-selling relationship author and speaker based in Los Angeles. She helps high-performers create ideal relationships by teaching self-awareness, boundaries, accountability, and communication skills.

Her book "Show Up: Finding Love for Independent Women" has helped thousands of professional women all over the world create the relationship of their dreams.

And this episode from the Thrive State podcast is in it to help you on your 2022 #relationshipgoals! Catch Christine in her very own Show Up with Christine Chang and through her IG @cchangandco.

0:52 High Performers: People who are brought up to be overachievers. They want to take over the world.
2:18 Common Patterns and Challenges: They love to be on the climb. They usually tend to choose people who are emotionally unavailable, just out of their reach, or subconsciously putting themselves in situations where it's not going to work out. A healthy relationship that is stable can feel boring.
6:40 Both high performers in a relationship? It's possible for two high performers to speak together, but the emotional component needs to match. Many high performers have this purpose and mission they want to do, but leave their partners feeling unattended and neglected.
9:40 Prioritizing working on yourself is always a good idea. But dating is also a fantastic way to learn about yourself. But while you're dating, you can be respectful of the other person and be honest about where you are and give them a fair chance to make a decision as well. Communication is very important in that area.
12:03 A relationship is a great training ground to get some healing. In a relationship, there's sometimes a lot of arguments, a lot of old things come up. But that's good because as they come up, you can start to become aware of them and heal.
13:15 Getting clarity on the type of person you want: Just start writing things down. Be aware of what you want versus what you need. Focus on how you feel first rather than the qualities of the other person. Know your core values and then get clear on which ones are non-negotiable and which ones are.
16:38 Building up self-worth muscle: Affirmations. It takes time to build the muscle so that you do not get devastated when someone dumps you.
20:57 Relationships could be very messy at first during that growth process. But you should not be discouraged when conflict arises. It is an opportunity for growth and healing.
21:43 Fitting in a relationship? Get clear on whether or not you want to be in a relationship. If you're being honest with yourself and there is a part of you that would love that partnership, you have to create a little bit of space for that.
22:54 A lot of it is timing as well. But it's possible to be building something and also have a relationship. Date, create a relationship there. Ease was something that I looked for and ease is a good sign.
25:04 Christine’s Best Medicine: Clarity. I feel good when I have clarity in life. And intimate relationships. I embrace really deep relationships because when it's our time to go, the only thing we have to take with us is the memories.

I always ask my patients: Do you want the good news or bad news first?

Okay, bad news first. One-half of the country has a chronic disease. Long before Covid, there's already a national and global epidemic.

But wondering why despite the fact that modern medicine is the most advanced it's ever been yet we're also the sickest we've ever been.

It's because it's really about our choices--what we eat, how we sleep, move, think, feel, relate with others--HOW WE LIVE OUR LIVES.

So here's a rehash of my talk where I'm sharing and hope to inspire you with my very own healing journey!

And if you want to get more of this, be sure to check out the rest of my Thrive State podcast and book Thrive State.

Show notes

1:11 Chronic diseases, for the most part, are diseases of our choices. I chose my chronic disease. It didn't choose me. There is an unconventional prescription: YOU. You are your best medicine.
4:28 I was overweight, diabetic, hypertensive. It felt horrible. Not only because I was sick, but because I was living in a lie.
5:31 Ishmael’s magic words: I'm just so grateful to be alive. And every moment I'm here, I choose to spread love and joy. He's a guy who was about to die, teaching me about how to consciously live, reminding me that no matter what life circumstances, we always have a choice on how we show up and who we get to be.
6:09 Acute and chronic diseases are two separate things. Acute conditions usually have an identifiable cause such as infection or trauma. Conventional medicine is great at treating acute conditions. Chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes are more insidious. They develop over time and although genetics may predispose us to getting chronic disease, they're usually the result of a combination of root causes, including controllable lifestyle factors that make up the environment of ourselves.
7:09 Modern medical care is so focused on managing symptoms with medications that we often fail to eliminate the root causes of illness. But these symptoms are actually signals from our body asking us to take back our power and to step into the fullness of who we really are.
9:02 Science supports that our choices and living on purpose are our best medicine. There's a field of study called epigenetics—epi, meaning above, genetics for genes, which demonstrate how external factors above the genes actually control how they behave. It tells us that it is our choices, the makeup, the environment of ourselves, which then dictate how our genes are activated or expressed.
10:26 How do you tap back into the purpose of which you were born? By thinking about the things that bring you joy. And if you could do that thing and serve others with that thing, if you share your passion with the world, that's your purpose and your purpose is your medicine.
11:40 Austrian physician and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl: Between stimulus and response, there's a space. And in this space is our power to choose a response. And in our response lies our growth and freedom.
12:33 If you have symptoms in your life, your life is out of alignment. Don't wait for a shock. When you deny who you are, your purpose and passion in life, that puts a cap on your potential for health. Because you were born to be limitless, to feel exuberant, to bring something unique into this world.

1:58 Neural associated conditioning: If we want more joy, happiness, a better relationship, health, career, we need to associate massive pleasure to attaining these things and then attach pain to the habits associated with things not in the thrive state (in the stress state).
2:51 Dickens Process: Dickens discovered that if a person started to behave a little bit differently, you also began to link pleasure to what would happen if you were to change that.
7:59 You could interrupt the patterns that led you to sub-optimal health. But if you're going to interrupt somebody's pattern, they're going to look for a new pattern.
8:47 Modified Dickens Process Exercise: Be willing to experience some pain. This is going to be hard.
16:23 The Thrive State Accelerator teaches you how to master the seven bioenergetic elements—sleep, nutrition, movement, stress and emotional mastery, relationships, our thoughts and mindset, and purpose, with a bonus module on optimization.
16:59 The Thrive State: the energy, the epigenetic environment we give to ourselves, telling our DNA how to act and how to respond. And if we want optimal health, longevity, and peak performance, we must master these seven bioenergetic elements. It also prevents chronic symptoms like brain fog, being overweight, feeling sluggish, acne, pain, and chronic disease.
21:54 Once you get yourself to feeling really good, decide whether you want to change and you cultivate the hunger to change. Move your body. Breathe. And from this day, because of your decision, life will be completely different.
24:12 Installing Empowering Beliefs: Install those beliefs you thought about in the exercise and associate that into our minds and bodies. We want to associate all the pleasures of having those things and condition them in our body as a new belief, as a new way of living and being.
24:43 Uninstalling Negative Beliefs: This time when you go into your future, it's a new destiny. Notice the positive, impactful things that these new health habits have in your life. Go ahead. Step into that future. Take with you all the successes you build day after day.

What’s on your list for the new year’s resolutions?

Here’s to welcoming this new beginning with a bang—not literally but in terms of impact—changemaker Joel Relampagos!

Joel—Change Your Algorithm founder and network TV executive producer—is a fellow API leveraging the power of media entertainment to do good. He's the executive producer of tons of TV shows, such as the NBC's hit weight-loss show 'The Biggest Loser' and the student debt show 'Going From Broke' alongside Ashton Kutcher. He has been a show-runner for multiple production companies such as LeBron James' 'SpringHill' and Dwayne Johnson's 'Seven Bucks Productions'. He is also the host of the student mental health show 'Breaking the Stigma' released through the education technology company Chegg.

But powered by his own trials, this mental health champion's team is now providing free professional support to people and building community-wide empowerment among its members.

Catch Joel at changealgorithm.com and be part of this amazing changemaking work!

5:15 Coming out about my True Life: While my motivation for wanting to be a doctor was to save life, when I told my authentic story in front of cameras, I realized there's more than one way to save a life. Ever since then, I have stayed on television.
7:25 Becoming a mental health champion: Even though I got that title and I try to buy and achieve things, it wasn't enough. People didn't know that I was going through my own mental health struggles. I went to rehab where I got to work with therapists and I fell in love with mental health.
8:46 Change your Algorithm: I fell in love with how the mind works. I wanted to come up with a way to recreate my experience, but 100% for free. So it’s is a free mental wellness company, open to anyone and everyone.
11:37 Our subconscious manifests things through our bodies. It communicates through dreams, idle thoughts, and manifestation through the body. If we're experiencing toxic thoughts, we're going to start to have that physically. That's what my depression did to me.
12:55 We can change our focus. We can change what things mean to us. We can give ourselves a new story, a new perspective. And when we started to focus on that, we'll start to notice, we'll start to feel differently. And then our biology changes as well.
15:59 There is a lot of work that can be done and me being a Filipino American executive producer and talking about it isn't enough. There's a big responsibility for the people in entertainment now to really demonstrate the diversity of the people in humanity.
17:46 By speaking your own truth and being authentic, that already helps break the cycle versus doing the things that you felt like as a part of the algorithm of your life.
18:21 Media and entertainment is such a powerful belief, a potential agents for change. But there's also a lot of shows out there that are toxic, and not exactly healthy for our mental health.
20:14 Joel’s Best Medicine: Creativity. It connects me with my inner child. There's so many positive things that stem from creativity.

01:08 Finding Breathwork: Through pain and suffering—a horrible stomach condition doctors couldn't explain. Chanced upon breathwork which paved the way for some huge emotional release, and my stomach pain was gone.

03:43 Breathwork Detox: As long as you're breathing, you're good to live in this world. But like yoga, there are different modalities. Breathwork detox is based on the law of attraction and the idea of manifesting.

06:22 Benefits of Breathwork: This modality will give you what you need—the opportunity to release your intentions and all. The results are immediate and undeniable. We live in a microwave society—we want to see results, and we want to see results fast.

08:12 Unpacking Breathwork: It is ultimately flooding your system with oxygen. Our breath is our connection to the source. It's the one thing that connects us all right now. It removes all the things blocking you from your creativity.

10:16 Healing aspect: We have some energy, a vital life force flowing through us. It gets distributed through natis. One place in the body where all these intersect—your gut. Your gut is your power. 80% of the immune system is in the gut, and 80% of your serotonin is produced in the gut.

12:20 How breath moves you out of stress: We all have some form or level of anxiety. The body holds on to the past; we accumulate trauma in certain parts of our body. We have to clear our manifesting instrument. There's nothing that clears our body as efficiently as our breath.

15:03 No matter what you have—a billion dollars or a dollar—whenever I see people breathing, I see children. I really connect with people's inner child, and that is what makes this work so powerful.

17:10 What Breath will bring into the world: Healing, unification. Breathwork is the new yoga. It is the gateway to people's awakening and to the inner part of ourselves.

18:46 Kurt's Best Medicine: Of course, breathwork. And journaling. You get to connect to your shadow if you're asking yourself the right questions.

4:54 From plant-based diet to animal rescuers: they gave me more of a connection with what was on my plate--that it wasn't just food, but a being. That experience started to connect the dots for me.
5:35 Incorporating more plants in your life: Step one, eat more vegetables. Be honest with yourself. Step two, do not think of whole foods in terms of needing to always eat more fruits and vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. You can make stuff at home--make your own meat at home. Look for that information.
8:32 Vegan protein: It started as a supplement shop. The first vegan supplement shop on the internet helping those who had a hard time sourcing vegan protein powder, those going vegetarian and then transitioning to vegan.
9:21 Vegan Strong: Started as a collaboration with community and friends like Robert Cheeke--a documentary highlighting vegan bodybuilders on stage. It became a collab with organizers of giant sports festivals doing speaking, food demos, presentations, lectures with the message: Plants have all the protein you need.
11:12 Mastering short-term goals and turning it into long-term goal: You need a reward. If you don't have something dangled, you're not going to do it. But don't get addicted to that carrot because then you'll be shortsighted.

For long term success, which requires planning and goals and a schedule that is maintainable for your lifestyle, recognize what’s practical and realistic. Dangle the carrot, and think about something that you could do for the next 10 years and arguably the rest of your life.

12:41 Most important factors to incorporating a new lifestyle or habit: Accountability is a big one. Having an outside source, an accountability buddy or a coach or journaling are all helpful tools. Start small, enjoy the process.
13:45 Focus on sleep and hydration before you do anything else. If your sleep hygiene and hydration is off, everything else is going to suffer. Don't get too caught up in the details. Start with your basic health markers and then work your way into the details. One step at a time.

15:47 To reach an extreme goal, no matter how efficient you are and how well you manage stress and anxiety, unfortunately, you have to take things to an unsustainable level. So think ahead and plan ahead. Because once you reach your goal, if you don't have what's next lined up for you, you're going to fall off. There will be consequences.

16:56 Meditation for mental health: Both guided and not guided are beneficial. Take time to reflect. Make room for your thoughts and feelings. Don't be afraid to reach out for health. Going to a therapist can be taken proactively and for personal growth.

20:56 Giacomo's Best Medicine: Compassion. It tests me time and time again, separates me from my ego, governs my choices, forces me to reflect on and sit with my feelings.

2:17 From Skinny to Celebrity Body: At the beginning, it's full of ego. When I was training, I was in very good shape but not really earning. But when I had money, I was not in shape because people have a tendency to just one or the other. It's hard to combine both of them.
4:56 I need to combine everything—the mental aspect, the spiritual aspect. Being in shape is one part of the spectrum. But what I teach my clients and want to teach people is a lifestyle.
6:15 Good on the outside, bleeding on the inside: I didn't know I was gluten intolerant so I had a lot of leaky gut issues and I was bleeding like crazy because they were so irritated from the food. And the steroids pumped up my heartbeat. I wasn’t careful then of what I’m putting in my body. When you're only driven by the goal, you forget to take care of your own.
8:39 Building your community: The look is only going to bring you a certain amount of people, or it's going to bring you a certain type of audience. But then, people realize that it's more than the look. It's the feelin you bring to people. That’s when people get involved with you.
9:54 Training Celebs and CEOs: The only thing that I ask my clients is to be committed. The thing that you would normally notice from celebrities or CEOs or successful people is they know what it takes to be successful. They usually know what it takes to get to another level.
11:24 5 Biggest Secrets to a Celebrity Body

Nutrition, sleep, having a training partner or a coach, workout, create a good habit and lifestyle around that.

Nutrition: No matter how hard you train, if you eat like sh**, you're going to feel like it. 95% of what you’re feeling is coming from your gut. Treat your body like a Ferrari. Be careful and put the best. Get customzed nutrition tips from Faste Fitness app. Learn a little basic about nutrition. Once you do, you're going to be a lot more cautious of what you put in your body.
Sleep: Try to go to bed around the same time everyday. Meditation is one of the best things to do before sleep. If your brain is too active, try to read a book. Drop your phone and forget about the computer. Everything needs to be set aside. If you want to have good sleep, plan it. Taking a cold bath or cold shower before bed helps to improve sleep.
Find a training partner or coach: If you want to avoid wasting time, you need a coach. It's important to have someone that can hold you accountable. Finding the right coach for you starts with tuning in if you feel good training with them. You're not paying just to waste money.
Workout: Faste Fitness has different programs depending on your goals—to ose weight, Training for athletes and so on.
Creating the right habits: Start with the small steps and DO it.
22:31 Keeping on track: You have to enjoy the journey. You have to set up goals. But if you're only focused on the goals and you don't like what you're doing, you’ll lose it. Find something that you enjoy and you're going to stick to it.
25:24 Mike’s Best Medicine: No matter how good you look, how good you feel, if mentally you're not present, you're not connected with life, you’re never going to be able to sustain anything. Meditation brought me peace of mind. It helped me to actually enjoy life. Diving down in spirituality, reading book,s and meditation is probably the best thing that I've been doing.

3:18 The Science of Longevity vs. The Art of Living: There’s no shortage in the science of longevity but we tend to forget the art of living. But we can do both: extend lifespan and expand life itself.

7:40 Longevity is the result of choosing to live a life happy, healthy, connected and purpose-driven. But we tend to focus on the either-or. But we can marry science with art.

14:15 How They Live Long in the Blue Zones:

Move Naturally - their environments constantly nudged them into moving without thinking about it
Sense of purpose adds at least 7 years
Downshift - rituals and practices to deal with stress
80% Rule - Stop eating when you’re 80% full
Plant Slant - beans are s the cornerstone of centenarian diet; meat only 4-5times a month
Wine at 5 - 1 or 2 glasses of wine a day but not all 14 glasses on a Saturday
Belong - 258/263 centenarians belong to a faith-based organization
Family first - aging members of the family are kept at home, children are invested with love
Right Tribe - they are either born into or they chose social circles that supported their healthy behaviors.

20:00 How did Blue Zones actions led to activating molecular longevity and optimization? Epigenetics - the gene expression has less to do with the gene itself but largely due to the external environment around the cell.

21:26 What our Telomeres say: greater length = greater health, longer lifespan. Stress shortens the telomere.

23:10 CTRA - Conserved Transcriptional Response to Adversity: Activated CTRA increases inflammation and lowers immune. Chronic stress activates CTRA leading to chronic diseases and symptoms. Inhibiting CTRA means dispositional optimism and eudaimonic wellbeing, meditation, yoga, taichi, exercise, noninflammatory diets, cognitive-behavior stress management.

26:55 The Bioenergetic State: Where Science Meets Art. Science of Longevity is the technology and Art of Living is about the choices.

31:29 Forgotten Keys to Natural Longevity: Social - lifting up other people; Physical (sleep, movement, nutrition); Emotions - empowering beliefs and positive emotions especially gratitude; Mental/Thoughts - changing our story; Spiritual - the power to choose.

Takeaway 1: Master your bioenergetic state—the energy we give ourselves, either the thrive or disease state. We are all energetically connected. Work on your bioenergetic elements of sleep, nutrition, movement, stress and emotions, thoughts and mindset, relationships, purpose.

Remember the things that bring you joy and light you up. Those things are your purpose.

Takeaway 2: Focus on your meaning. Life happening to you VS life happening for you. Shifting your focus shifts the way you feel. Giving ourselves empowering meaning and story makes us feel more joy and gratitude.

Takeaway 3: Movement. Emotional states are tied to our physiology and how we carry ourselves. Move to shake away all the negative energy. Practice the 'power pose'.

Takeaway 4: Music. Put a song that pumps you up and puts you in a good mood.

Takeaway 5: Create space and ACT. Awareness, choice and take action. It's the choices in our lives and the decisions that we make that make us feel different. Every time you feel negative, remember that those thoughts are there to keep us safe. We don't have to believe everything we think.

Create space between stimulus and response, like breathing. Use the power choice and take new action to access better emotions.

09:57 Ajit's Humble Beginnings: When a lot of people share a space, it's not really a space and there's not really an abundance. That's when I decided I don't want to live the same life ever again.

12:06 My father's limited support put a timer on me to figure out my track: Trying to make money at 17 gave me a sense of clarity that I can figure things out. I'm a good person at figuring things out. I'm a good person in binding connections and relationships.

18:00 Being the Mindvalley CEO: While running the company, I had forgotten everything else but the title I have in the company. I realized how alone and lonely I was.

24:22 A Stroke of Luck: Old programming doesn't really go away. It's an awareness. And that self-awareness recognizes that there are unknowns in us—there's what we need to be successful but there's also an element of 'luck'.

26:38 We have equal capability to release negative thinking; it is independent to each of us, our completely different experience. It's a talent, but we also have to recognize that it's not maybe as true that the other person doesn't have it.

30:06 Spectrum of negative thoughts is widely more than the spectrum of positive thoughts and we're naturally wired for it because it's a protection mechanism. But the difference happens when you feel it AND THEN you are aware enough to move forward.

32:06 Information to Transformation: Take notes and understand. Take what you understood and turn it into a tool. Go out and do it. Refine it to fit your model of reality. Do it over and over.

37:38 Being Present: Everybody is a function of the stories of their past. Your past governs a lot of your behavior at this moment. That way, it tends to start creating your future. The only point of control, of reality, of impact that you truly have to change your past and your future at the same time, is NOW. You need to own the NOW.

42:56 Organizing your Mind: Being more conscious of the thoughts that you choose. Every circumstance creates a multiplicity of thinking. Choose a more empowered way of thinking. We all can use some kindness; come back to our humanity.

47:01 Bioengineering and Connectedness: Integrating our biology and habits like meditation, supplementation, the way we eat, and movement. And pursue purpose not as a place to get to but a place to live from. Use your intuition.

50:17 Master Coaching with Ajit: Learn coaching techniques as Ajit breaks down specific areas of life to explain why those areas work or not.

51:33 Ajit's Best Medicine: LOVE. Love for humanity, friends, family, colleagues, for life.

11:34 Homeschooling was a powerful test of self-discipline. I was able to integrate my professional surfer life and education because I was always curious and I followed that curiosity.

15:26 Martial arts was my savior and became my obsession. It laid the foundation for me to gain the principles, morals, and values of discipline and hard work. The journey after the decision was a struggle. But coming out on the other side after the withdrawal made me a completely different person even at the cellular level.

18:22 Living with an addictive personality: I'd consider myself an addict but to other things or activities. I've overcome it before so I know I can do it again. The healing I've done has also changed my epigenetic makeup that I do not worry that one small trigger would lead me to fall deeply back into that.

21:21 Entering the healing arts: the Ashtanga practice opened my eyes to what yoga actually is and to Eastern wisdom. It is the merging of science and spirituality.

25:26 The Fundamentals of having a Balanced Life: Taking a fundamental approach to the 6 Keys to Living.

28:02 The Most Fundamental Need for Human Survival: Breath is where we start. Make small shifts.

33:56 Consistency over Intensity: Routines and Rituals are everything. Habits and rituals create who we are. Doing something everyday, even for just a couple of minutes, is powerful. Go for the compounding effect.

36:10 Skybear's Daily Routine: Get up early, drink mudwater, write, start with a practice, take a hot shower (cleanse) and get on the mat for Ashtanga yoga, breathing exercises, athletic training, get on ice bath and superfood smoothie—and I'm ready to rock!

40:01 Developing Self-Discipline: Start small. Focus on consistency. But be kind. Turn something you want to do into a habit then into a lifestyle. Build the momentum and grow over time.

47:20 Skybear's Best Medicine: Synchronizing breath and movement.

Dr. Killen’s switch from emergency to anti-aging and regenerative medicine:

Work in ER starts at 4 am—not enough sleep, not eating well, no exercise. Life was falling apart.
Patients coming to ER with all of their aches and pains are mostly due to living an unhealthy and stressful life, just like how she feels.

"Sex and skin"

For patients to start to feel great and establish the foundations of health, they usually seek help on their skin, hair, and sex life.

How important sexual health is

Many people, including doctors, think of sexual health as the “other “thing in health. Sexual health is essential in physical health. Sexually active people have low blood pressure, are less stressed, have a better self-image, experience less anxiety and depression. People who have sex regularly live longer. Sex is good for us, and sexual relationship is healthy.

Caring for your Physical Body

Reduced inflammation over time encourages blood flow. Inflammation causes degeneration of cells within the penis or in the vagina.
Exercise, eating healthy, sleeping, modifying stress levels could improve blood flow.

Nitric oxide

The main chemical messenger that tells your blood vessels to dilate and open up blood flows.
When we get older, we get less and less nitric oxide. In your 40's, you create only half from your production of nitric oxide in your 20s. Plus, blood vessels become smaller, plaque buildup.
Get nitric oxide through your diet—green leafy vegetables, citrus fruit, dark chocolate. With the help of bacteria in your mouth, stomach acid, your body can convert nitric oxide.
Other lifestyle factors help the production of nitric oxide in our body—enough sleep, exercise, sunlight, red light therapy, PEMF therapy.

Hormone Optimization

You can optimize hormones at any age. Men can increase testosterone levels by lifting weights, exercising, getting sunlight, vitamin D, protein, amino acid, and zinc.
By the age of 40, men see a decline in hormones. In women, some years before menopause.

Regenerative medicines

Exosomes, stem cell therapy improves sexual health. It supports regeneration and rejuvenation of the actual genital structures. Stem cell comes from your cell in your bone marrow, while exosomes come from placental stem cells or umbilical cord stem cell. You can use it for scalp/hair restoration, face and skin rejuvenation, also in sex organs.
For women: laser, radiofrequency devices for intravaginal use increase blood flow to heal tissue problems and bring back its sensation and feel.
Shock wave therapy for men and women: Light intensity sound waves increase stem cell recruitment to the area; help blood flows and tissue regeneration.
Peptide therapy: Small protein or group of amino acids that can be used for specific things.

7:22 Fellowship with Dr. Weil: It really changed my life. I felt like I could see what were some of the missing pieces. I went from being a doctor to being a healer.
11:24 Once you actually start doing it, it gets easier. I didn't put any pressure on myself to do a hundred things at one time. I said we're going to make small changes.
13:04 Overcoming plateau: I couldn't go any further but I felt like there was more that I could do. I started using some other tools out of my integrative toolbox that I was learning like guided meditation, and breathwork.
14:00 Symptoms-diagnosis-prescription algorithm: Personalized medicine is so important. We do not apply the general concepts of thousands of people to you—whether you fit in it exactly or not. We're actually applying the concepts of you to you.
18:18 Integrative medicine isn't a field on its own. It's just good medicine. Don't think of it as something necessarily separate, just think of it as something better.
19:53 Rescue Your Health hopes to help people understand that precision medicine doesn't have to be an intangible concept, or only for a particular type of person.
21:22 The Five Way Test: (1) Microbiome Test, (2) Coronary Calcium Scan, (3) Nutritional Genetics, (4) Basic Lab Tests, and (5) Body Composition Scan (amorous scan)
27:33 It's best to look at the whole microbiome. It is such a complex system, it's like an ecosystem. A better quality test is to understand what's going on in the microbiome. and what are the capabilities of these microbes.
32:27 Prevention is so much more powerful because if you can prevent that initial event from even occurring, then your overall well-being or health, and your quality of life may be much better.
36:04 Precision medicine is really a game changer in how we define health or what it means to really be healthy.
38:13 Marvin’s best medicine: Believe in yourself, because we have so much power within our minds and bodies that we don't appreciate it as much. Don't give up on yourself; really understand that the best medicine actually lies within you.

8:48 Throughout my discovery of the real estate game, I didn't feel 1000% I'm doing it for my family. That’s usually an excuse that we use, but it's not the real driver. I realized my real purpose has been to make the world a better place, one MC at a time.
11:03 Get accustomed to risk. Learn to take calculated risks and do your due diligence in life, not just in investing. Map out what a plan and a strategy would be. Build a safety net, or a runway, so if I fail, I could always go back.
11:34 I've had job offers from companies telling me to stop but it has become greater than, than me. It becomes life's purpose and doing something bigger.
12:50 Building a personal brand: Put enough content out there. So people are aware that you exist and they want to know you. Once they know you, they want to or they need to like you. People only work with people that they trust.
15:48 There's no exact formula, but just start. You can take simple steps like creating a blog and putting those on your LinkedIn profile. You can simply use the ones that everybody uses. The challenge is that people have to understand and know that consistency is really the key to success. Create a system for yourself.
18:14 Making your podcast stand out: This is always a changing answer because the world is evolving. Share your story and tell them how you can help them. Podcast is people.
20:42 Knowing you’re catching on: Give it 12 months to start to notice if there's traction, like the rubber's starting to meet the road. Commit 12 months to a podcast and commit wholeheartedly. Don't just record and then not talk about it to anyone.
23:51 Having a podcast—a stage for my audience—gave me opportunities and experiences of having a conversation with someone that I normally wouldn't have a conversation with.
26:37 Striking work-life balance: It's always learning, growing, and evolving. It is never truly 50-50. Be a family man with a business and not a businessman with a family (John Roman).

3:56 Two different types of people stuck right now: First type are those not educated on what to do, but super motivated. The second type are those who know everything, but are out of shape and overweight and don't apply anything that they know.
5:13 Information - Application = Unbelief: No matter how much I get to know or how much knowledge I get, it doesn't change my situation. I end up getting this paralysis from changing, then it creates more unbelief. We create distrust in ourselves.
9:40 Progress was addictive. You don't have to hit that final destination. You just have to see progress and progress can happen really quickly.
12:30 I’m no guru. In my business model, I’m the reporter—I help my clients find answers by asking them the right questions. I'm not the biggest expert. I can just talk about what I've done, but I bring in the best experts.
15:20 People come to me: (1) They want to grow a business. (2) The community, the brotherhood. They all come here because of the stories: my story, other people's stories, epiphany stories.
17:33 Epiphany story is like your carbs. It’s igniting the fire, like the little scraps that you use to ignite a fire that burns quickly. It’s gone by itself and going into ketosis. It lights you up and it keeps you fired and warm all night.
20:21 Growing a business through community: Most people say that you need to make money to gain influence, people’s respect, and following But it was actually the opposite way that worked for me. Grow it with your community. Communicate to the people what they want, and then give them the things that they actually need.
23:51 Most people don't have a mission. They don't know what they want to do. If I can cast a vision, like we're the winning team, people want to be a part of that just because they want to be a part of the transformation.
25:05 Power of Mentorship: All these mentors and coaches are people that you can learn from to be able to have their ceiling become your floor. It’s like: I’m going to bring you right above me, where my ceiling becomes the place that you start out at.
25:40 Spencer Robbins was my biggest mentor: I learned not to overdo things. That what I need are boundaries to create freedom.
28:28 Teaching people how to create a result, how to keep a result, how to grow a result gives them power. They have the actual power inside of themselves rather than outside of themselves to create a result.
29:14 Mindset and Health: Commit. Do what you said you were going to do after the feeling. Picturing you’re eating something you rave about only creates desire. When we don't end up doing what we committed to do, we end up having distrust with ourselves, which is the worst distrust.
31:17 Building ACCOUNTABILITY: (1) Write down where you want to be and plan how to get there. (2) Focus on the actions, not the outcomes. (3) Build trust with yourself. (4) Just start saying NO.
36:14 Getting back to your center with the BDB ritual: Write out three to 20 things that we're grateful for, write the intention for the day. And then that day, we make sure that everything that we do aligns with those things.
38:50 Nic’s best medicine: My experience and my relationship with God. Spirituality and being connected with sources.

6:35 It didn't always feel like it was enough. I didn't feel totally satisfied. I had this vision of going into medicine and help people, but there’s a flip side to it too. Learning integrative psychiatry and teaching made me feel good, invigorated, and excited. I was listening to that internal tap on the shoulder. I've started to explore that and figured it out.
9:27 These days, people can just easily lose their spark; lose themselves, or get off the path to the stressors of day-to-day life. Taking time to come back to that internal compass to listen to it and to add that fun is so important.
10:19 Practical Tips to Get Back on Track: Take baby steps. Big, unrealistic goals can hold you back. Get the momentum going and be proud of yourself. 11:55
13:12 Handling Stress and Fatigue: Food is a huge piece of the puzzle. If you're eating inflammatory foods throughout the day and you're drinking tons of coffee throughout the day, you're going to have highs and lows. You're going to feel tired. Consult with an expert. Supplements also help with energy.
14:39 Hacks from the Experts: Go for a walk and incorporate mindfulness and meditation to bring you back to the present moment, and calms down your brainwaves. Air in nature relaxes your body and puts you more in a parasympathetic state. Tap into your senses.
17:20 Practice diaphragmatic breathing. When we're stressed, we clench our muscles of the abdomen and we breathe shallowly. Relaxing and breathing through your belly activates the vagus nerve, your parasympathetic nervous system, and starts to get you feeling a little bit more relaxed.
19:15 I like taking time for myself. Whatever that looks like for you, start there and build from there.
20:30 Techniques to help people change states quickly: A lot of it comes down to our perspective. It's easy to get caught up in negative self-talk, which is a human thing. When I'm frustrated about a situation or I have a belief or thought that doesn't serve me, I'll ask myself, how can I view this in a way that empowers me? And that question of myself gets me out of it because I realize there are more ways to view this. Reframe things to be more supportive of yourself.
23:35 On Food Choices: iI's a very personalized choice. But if you do eat meat, pay attention to what you're eating. Choose those raised sustainably. Animal protein is slightly superior because it contains leucine. Eating a lot of plants is very good for your health. Whatever your diet is, listen to your body.
26:37 Crystal’s Best Medicine: Self-love. Nurture and develop self-love.

5:31 Journey to Inner Healing: From abandonment wound that carried on and kept showing up in my life, heavy emotions showed up as tightness and pain in my body.
9:21 Story of the mammoth mountain: Even at a 10/10 state of pain and fear, I accessed my intuition and I knew and felt that my path is not to give my power away to someone that wants to cut in and try to fix my injury that way. I promised to try all natural means necessary for healing.
11:08 Neurokinetic Therapy: It’s about addressing the neurological traffic jam—what’s not allowing the signal to get to parts of your body.
13:31 I saw a common denominator as I was addressing the physiological aspects of injuries: there are underlying emotional and metaphysical issues in their experience that also need to heal.
14:01 Through understanding and taking responsibility for subconsciously pushing people away, I was able to connect the dots between the emotions that I hadn't felt but were residing in my body as issues.
17:12 Signs of Subconscious Limiting Belief: It can show up in your health, relationships, and wealth. They're running behind the scenes. We can have the strongest willpower to change habits but if these programs are still running, then you'll keep experiencing different characters in the same situations going on.
19:00 Inner Peace Process: I believe that one of the greatest skills we can have as involving human beings is the ability to identify these limiting beliefs and, and have a way of clearing and resolving them. It's an eight-week progressive journey learning the keys to manifesting with ease and visioneering.

7:26 Turning Point of Career: When you get an opportunity in life, don't take it, master it. Opportunity meets preparation.
9:31 How to be great at what you do: Copy genius. If you're in a career and you're not hitting the marks you want to hit, stop, look around and see who in your business is doing it better. Find out what are they doing that you're not doing. Study their practices and take all the best things from them and make your practice even better.
12:17 Mentoring is not threatening: Having younger folks in the practice seek me as a mentor is an honor. It’s a way to show them what I'm doing and I don't feel that there's a threat.
Going After the Dream: I always knew as a dentist, I would be comfortable. I never imagined what inventing zoom would do to my life (not Zoom video conference, but Zoom, tooth whitening). That changed everything.
16:38 One of my biggest challenges was sitting down in creative meetings and try to come up with strategic marketing plans. I'm not the average bear. You can't use my practice as the standard, because there's nothing standard about my practice.
18:03 Oral Health Tips: Brush and floss at least three times a day and see your dentist at least twice a year.
21:04 Fitness for Men Over 50: It’s exercise, diet, and genetics. Use less weights, do more repetitions. Genetics explain different results from the same regimen. But there’s no excuse for being out of shape. Bad habits get us out of shape. 23:00
23:33 You only get one body. You get to choose what you do to that body. Make it a priority to take take care of that body. Do what you can do, because but if you don't use it, you lose it. Figure out what you can do, what you're comfortable doing, and try to do it as frequently as you can.
24:57 Finding your Purpose: If you really haven't found your passion, sit down and think of three things that interest you the most. See if you can shadow people who work in those industries and see if it's how you expect it to be. By doing it, you'll discover either you like it, or that's the wrong direction and l you pivot. But at least you're moving and at least you're trying to discover that.
27:00 Leaving a Legacy: My mantra in life is to learn so you can earn and then return. I have put on a non-profit for 15 years now, doing motivational leadership programs for high school and college students.
29:42 Philanthropy and giving: Science is telling us that if we've got that sense of purpose, we're out there giving, we actually change biochemical processes in our body that make us live longer and feel happier. But you don't have to necessarily give money. You can give your time. You can give your love. You've got so much that you can give.
31:16 Bill’s Best Medicine: Tenacity.

5:08 - 5:38

I don't know that they knew they were coaching me. And I don't know that I knew I was being coached, but I had a lot of mentors. I was fortunate to be around a lot of great coaches from a really early age. I think some of the best coaches in the world are teachers and elementary schools and high school basketball coaches.

5:38 - 6:05

You don't have to be this super complex person or somebody who works with the best of the best to be a great coach. I've also spent a lot of time with people that do what I do now and, and certainly have benefited from that as well.

6:53 - 7:03

When I got fired, it made me think about my life's journey and where I was spending my time and energy. I lost a lot of money. It hurt my reputation. My identity was rocked because I had found all of my identity in my achievement, accomplishment, and bank account. I was really living for who I was as a businessman. When that was taken away from me, it just really rocked me from the inside out.

7:35 - 7:53

The coaching business was a result of a lot of longstanding relationships. I looked at my wife and I just said, Hey, let's launch this business. Let's do it. Full-time. And we did. And we've never looked back.

8:32 - 9:05

First step to Get Back Up: Ask a lot of questions. When you're broken, you're willing to listen. A wise man keeps many counselors. Seek counsel from people that know you really well. Ask life's more important and difficult questions. Self-awareness helps you grow.

9:41 - 9:57

And it was something that you knew didn't define you. It really seemed like you had the intuition and the wherewithal to know that it was only going to be temporary. And maybe the answers were just a few questions away from the people that were important to you.

9:58 - 10:35

There's another chapter that you're going to write. And a lot of times your deepest hurt becomes your greatest ministry. That doesn't always play out professionally. But you grow in your compassion and in your empathy. That's really beautiful and powerful.

10:35 - 10:46

I know for me, there is no way I'd be doing what I'm doing now, and there's no way I'd be married to my wife. And there's no way I'd have three wonderful daughters. If I didn't get buried at 27 years old,.

11:19 - 11:51

Telling your Story at the Right Time: Even after accepting the story, you may not be really ready to tell it. When you got to a place in your life where it is no longer affecting your current identity, you become ready to tell your story.

12:38 - 12:50

Nobody wants to read a story that doesn't have a plot twist.

13:05 - 13:42

Every one of us goes through tough things, whether it's with our health, our family, our profession, through some adversity. It takes time but when we get to the other side of it and once we can own it, accept it and then talk about it in a way that serves and impacts others, we could be a force for good.

14:26 - 14:57

Getting out of the rut: Take messy action (Heather Monahan). You don't have to sit around and get clarity, just do something. If you want to change the way you feel, take action, take a step. It doesn't have to be the perfect step.

15:45 - 16:17

Setting vision and setting with clarity: If you don't figure out who you are (your values) before what (your goals), your goals could take you to a place that you never intended to go.

16:47 - 17:25

Being Authentic to who you are: Don't wait until the bottom falls out to start thinking about who you want to become. The actions you're taking today are going to affect your future.

17:49 - 18:27

Shifting States: It's about attempting stuff too. If you're willing to try new things and take action, it increases your humility and you grow in your confidence.

19:23 - 19:53

Finding the balance: If I win inside the walls of my home, everything else works out. If I lose, if I'm falling inside the walls of my home, things do not work out. But do not quit on that person. If you're not willing to do that, then your ego is getting in the way.

20:42 - 20:54

Practical tools: Schedule time with your family, do not find with family over something you probably shouldn't be fighting for. Get off the grid with your family.

25:12 - 25:47

Cultivating ability to focus. Own it—create boundaries, systems, processes. Be accountable. Have time away from your phone. Disconnect and unplug. Part of focus is going small—understanding that actually the art of doing more is found through fewer activities.

28:47 - 29:21: Gratitude—just being thankful for the simple things in life.

07:24 Because I was dyslexic at a very young age, I had this overbearing thing over me that I was trying to hide and figure out. The immigrant struggle wasn't as big as that struggle.

09:51 Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding). It takes a person with dyslexia five times more effort to read than somebody who doesn't.

10:25 I realized something was missing–this was not my life's purpose. I realized through that thought process that my whole life was about preparing me to be an entrepreneur.

12:52 Being a speaker and coach: When I got on the stage the first time, it's like a magical moment had happened and that my whole life had been preparing me for that. And that was my aha moment. I knew it was what I wanted and had to do for the rest of my life.

15:46 Building myself to become an international speaker: At school, I wanted to be able to express myself and let people know I'm smart and that was cultivated by my teachers. When I realized I wanted to do speaking, I really worked hard and deeply to develop the practice.

17:18 The reason why I'm happy is that I decided to be happy yesterday. And then put the systems and processes in place to be happy—rituals, routines, habits.

18:45 Cultivating happiness: Fostering a growth mindset rather than a fixed mindset. Start with understanding that you have the power to control it. A lot of this starts with what you reverberate.

19:54 Little Things You Can Do to Boost Your Mood: Practice gratitude. Get out of your mind and go into your physical body. Set your intention for every single activity.

23:09 Tips for Dealing with Stress: Physically move the environment that you're in. Practice a breathing technique that increases the energy in your brain like box breathing. Putting in power postures changes the psychology and biochemistry in your brain. Force yourself to smile for 60 seconds.

26:59 It's good to admire people but understand that you're in two different places on your own journeys. The difference between those places is putting in the work in a smart, intelligent way and living your true purpose towards it.

29:07 Being authentic is key: Don't fake it. If you're having doubts, talk about it. As you talk about it, people will come out to help you.

30:16 Getting past procrastination, getting more motivation: Understand what you really need to work on. Think about what you can do to change your habits. Always start with the minimum viable effort.

32:23 Golden Nugget: The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing (Socrates). It humbles you to understand that there's always something to learn. Life is an ever-evolving educational process. Always be humbled to learn and develop yourself because as you challenge yourself, you’re living a fuller life.

06:01 Aging backwards: Our DNA tells us exactly how we should live our lives—we used to think this sets in stone how our longevity and life would turn out. But the truth is: the DNA is a dynamic thing that constantly interacts with its environment.

Our DNA vibrates to a certain environment and energy that we truly love - we learn this in the way we eat, sleep, approach the world and become. When you become somebody that you're not meant to be, and doesn't go with your DNA, it brings about dissonance and your body feels stressed. You pick up bad habits and turn you into somebody you're not.

09:04 Despite extensive training as a medical doctor, I still got a chronic disease because I didn't have the tools to understand what wellness really was. I started to heal myself by being authentic with who I really am. I started with understanding, loving, and accepting myself and living my life according to that.

10:34 It's both medical and spiritual: Telomeres—caps of DNA—are affected by physical energies (sleep, nutrition, movement), emotional energies (stress and emotional mastery), mental energy (thoughts and mindset), and spiritual energy (relationships, and having a sense of purpose). Telomeres protect our DNA.

13:36 Epigenetics: How our cells behave is determined by how our genes are expressed. Our DNA constantly listens to its environment (7 bioenergetic elements) to determine which genes to turn on and off.

15:08 Optimizing health made simple: List all the things that could help improve your health but pick the one with the lowest barrier of entry for you. Do that one thing first and make it a habit. You'll feel the shift.

16:59 Getting this to our Kids: Listen to them and see what motivates them. Tap into what lights them up.

20:13 The emotions of anger, hate, anxiety, resentment turn on stress genes. While emotions of love, joy, and being lit up are anti-aging medicines. The strongest elevated emotion of all is gratitude.

21:18 The Ultimate Commodity: Purpose. Feeling a sense of purpose has been shown to help you to live 7 years longer. But purpose doesn't have to be difficult. It is about remembering—who we are, what gives us joy, and sharing it with the world. Your purpose is you.

22:54 Taking the first small step to reverse aging: The gift of disease and the struggles in your life that you've overcome is that they allowed you to go through the journey to understand what true healing is. Pick up the book. Recognize and wake up. Pick up the easiest step. Build the habit.

26:17 Side hustle and living out your passion: Find the activity that lights you up. Do it anyway. Feeling good from it is your reward. It will grow organically because you vibrate with it.

29:13 When you're feeling symptoms or anything's off in your life, remember that's not YOU. The true you is full of love. And if you're aligned with that, you'll receive more of that. You are your best medicine. You it!

03:07 Tricia grew up an emotional eater: ‘We were all in pain and we anesthetized our pain with certain addictions. No constructive tools to deal with pain. There were a lot of unaddressed feelings and I buried them with food.

07:37 Stress at a young age: As a kid, you need to have a lot of appropriate coping tools to deal with the stress. We did what we could. Food is a really useful and accessible way of stuffing your feelings. It's handy and it works.

10:24 Diet will not work because it just focuses on the symptom. Being overweight is a symptom of overeating. And overeating is a symptom of what's eating me.

12:39 Emotional eating defined: Emotional hunger can very closely mimic physical hunger; it is needing food for reasons beyond nutritional needs. It's eating to cover up emotions.

17:41 Nutrition vs Emotion: Three Meal Magic. A lot of our eating is just boredom, unconscious eating. A great place to start is realizing that. Stop snacking and by that, you also cut out the unhealthy food that you would normally snack on.

19:43 Is craving a signal of emotional or physical hunger? Emotional eaters tend to hack the system - skip a meal but then make up for it later and overeat instead. Eating to feel good in the moment vs Eating to feel good in the long term.

24:57 Emotional eater vs Food addict: As humans, we have a wiring for emotional eating. Emotional connection with food is not at all bad, but it's a matter of how far you'll take it and how much food serves emotional needs beyond physical needs. Low-end means high control and little consequences; you can course-correct easily. High-end means little control and a lot of consequences.

Too many people want to be healthy, wealthy, happy, and worthy, but what they don't realize is that they already are.
The bioenergetic elements that create the energetic field around ourselves actually control how the DNA is expressed and how our cells behave.
When you can shift your paradigm through gratitude, forgiveness, and accountability, you can understand what inspiration is—’in spirit’.
Practice the muscles of gratitude. Then we can teach ourselves to utilize as a practice the higher frequencies between our potential to clear the interference between us and the greater source of light, love, and lessons; between us and our happiness, our healthiness, wealthiness and worthiness.
You'll realize you don't have to go GET these things. You only have to figure out what you’re doing to interfere with your health. For me, I'm always on a journey to pursue my potential by clearing this interference, not by going to get.
The fundamental principle of healing is that we already are well. Healing is different from what we usually think about it. It completely transformed the mental perspective and physical being as well through meditation and healing.
On the practice of being quiet: there is action taking place—a difficult one—to clear the mind, be quiet, sit in peace, allow things to happen, awareness to rise is a practice and action. And it helped me a lot!
How to shift negative thoughts and subconscious beliefs: People say everything is so uncertain. But I tell people all time: you'll never have certainty until you can forgive the unforgivable. By understanding that change IS certainty, we get to understand that we have control of three things: our mindset, our heartset, and our actions.
What to do when things are triggered: These are indicators that you have a better place to be. Pain is not punishment. Setbacks and mistakes are not punishment. Just turn signal that you're moving in the wrong direction and let me help you out.
Constructive way to find the lessons amid challenges: When you identify a trigger, cancel it. You won’t be able to let go. Logic can never overcome emotion. So when you try to tell yourself to overcome something, it's not gonna work. Doing things will change. Clear your mind. Think of something positive to replace it.
Best medicine: Humility. Ask for help. When you do, you are affirmingly collecting, remembering, and reminding that we're all connected. It allows you to receive the greatest gifts of other people and allows you to give to other people as well. Be kind to your future self. Be radically humble. and do good deeds.

13:40 New Horizon of Longevity: Gives us the opportunity to break barriers from achieving substantially longer lifespans.

15:31 Morality of Immortality: In the four horizons of longevity, it shows huge potential but poses a lot of ethical questions. I believe 20 years from now, the biggest obstacles to longevity and life extension are not science and technology but human ethics and regulations.

17:26 Investing in Longevity: If I were to die at the age of 90, it's okay as long as I was able to bring something to the world which will help our kids and grandkids to prosper, live beautifully, and be in the thrive state.

18:50 Up and Coming Technologies: 3 - Longevity drugs. 2- Organ regeneration. 1 - Gene editing and gene therapy.

23:59 Top 5 Longevity Tips for everyone that can be done TODAY: Regular screening. Don't die stupid. Diet - decrease your calorie intake. Physical activity. Peace of mind - sleep, mindfulness & meditation, and having a sense of purpose.

Tomm’s Ups and Downs: Before he was highly active and athletic, Tomm was passive and overweight and bullied in school as a chubby teen. But these led to change and the will to be fit, strong, and self-accepting what he is good at.
Along with his achievements came a pursuit for more that was never really satisfied, a sense of emptiness.
Hardcore training and constantly pushing to the extreme, Tomm’s health took another 360-degree turn. Suffering from autoimmune disease (vascular inflammation and thyroid disease) led to an identity crisis. And so, it became a journey of self-discovery and figuring out self-healing.
Vasculitis is the inflammation of blood vessels in your system—the body's wholesale reaction instead of a locally or specific organ or system in the body. Vascular inflammation is like being stung by bees everywhere in the body.
Qigong, an ancient study and practice of cultivating vital life-force, is about mindset, outlook, and lifestyle, changing back to seeing life and self from a happy and relaxed state.
As human beings, we are emotional beings. But emotions are energy in motion. When we keep it, the energy gets stuck. Healing is about releasing old stuck energy. It is about discovering the traumas, which are energy suppressed inside.
Urth Remedies: A wellness company that devotes to CBD (cannabidiol) tinctures and topicals, as well as medicinal mushrooms. Merges the best of both worlds for people who are dealing with illnesses and those who want to strengthen their immune system. We use plants as medicine from the earth and give back to earth by giving part of the profit for works remedying the earth back.
Tomm’s Best medicine: Discovering my purpose and what I want to be remembered for. My life used to be about myself alone—constantly asking what can I get. It was the reason for feeling life is always empty, getting all the accomplishments, and life is still half-fulfilled. Ask how you can be of service to others—the difference we make, the joy that we can provide for others.

The whole nutritional landscape changed for children in the past decades. Sugar is one of the main modifiable factors related to metabolic diseases and many chronic diseases.
Sugar has specific effects on children. Excess sugar can derail the process of growing a healthy liver and brain in children.
We are consuming more sugar and more types of it and in different forms today. Liquid sugar, especially if it involves fructose, is the most problematic.
Babies are born with a built in sweet tooth. They are born with an innate craving for sweetness which is supposed to be protected from an evolutionary perspective. It favors the liking of breastmilk and avoiding food that have gone spoiled or toxic berries from the forest.
For the first time, the new dietary guidelines released in 2021 recommend zero added sugar for babies aged 0-2 years old.
For children, we’re not saying no sugar at all. We’re about reducing sugar and finding the healthy level; not only of sugar, but also of carbohydrates. Maintaining steady blood sugar levels is as important for kids as it is for adults.
Sugar Alternatives: It’s like a fool’s gold. It basically tricks the body into thinking that it’s receiving sugar when it’s not and there’s multiple issues along it. It does not resolve the craving for sweetness; it sometimes even promotes craving for more sweetness.
The Real Alternative: Find the hidden sugars in the foods in your pantry. Use products with no added sugar. Offset the sugar with fiber and protein.
The Seven-Day Challenge: Dampen your craving for sweetness by going without sugar for a while. It has huge physiological benefits.
On Intermittent Fasting for kids: Breakfast is important, especially for growing kids. Fasting is recommended only under certain conditions.
Fatty Liver: It can also be caused by too much sugar, particularly fructose.
Dr. Goran’s Best Medicine: Sleep. Green tea. Good food, mostly plant-based.

03:27 Sexual Biohacking: Regenerative medicine and treatments that turn back the clock on the aging of the sexual cells by stimulating new tissue growth.

04:27 Susan's Journey to Sexual Biohacking: Sex had turned her down so many times. But it was when it's about to cost her marriage that she studied and developed techniques for healthier sexuality.

07:13 Three Pillars of Sexuality: Technique. Communication. Health, mind, body & spirit.

11:12 Sexuality is like a big bell curve. People perceive sex differently and only about 15% think there is a lot more than there is and are willing to discover more.

15:10 The bricks stacked up on the wall against enjoying good sex than the data showing the health benefits of orgasm.

18:06 Understanding the human sexual anatomy: It makes sex a lot less intimidating. and takes away performance anxiety.

27:03 Ejaculation vs Orgasm: Separate systems in the human body. Presence and good grooming are two things women want the most from their male body partners.

31:37 Blood flow is the single most important thing in libido, desire, and arousal.

32:48 Multiple orgasm techniques: Me breathe for men. Bull's eye touch techniques for women. Arousal is a stair step. Relaxation is the foundation of a turn-on.

4:05: The Earth is likened to a spacecraft with all humanity as passengers and the possibility of humanity would be extinct like the dinosaurs and so on. The possibility of transplanting human society to another planet or the Earth's moon. But the problem of living on Mars is almost the same on the moon.
12:50 Everybody in the healthcare business or industry has been focusing so much on the cure of sickness and much less on the source and reason for it. This system is keeping everybody sick, being just a system of suppressing symptoms.
15:00 Chronic diseases developed because of chronic inflammation. And our gut is the key in this condition. Giving more attention to the microbiome in our gut will be the "game-changer" leading towards a condition where sickness would be an option or a matter of choice—not creating a world where nobody is sick, but rather a world where having a disease is optional or a matter of choice for everyone.
The microbiome is a community of trillions of bacteria in a system like our gut, and that is a lot more numerous than human gene expression.
Finding one's purpose is just like finding something you're willing to die for and then living for it. Or, if you already have everything in life, ask yourself what you wanted to do today, and if you do that, you will then have everything you want. The most inherent happiness comes with something that allows you to feel good about who you are. To him, the best thing is doing things then never expecting anything back in return.
It's not really about following somebody's habits or rituals. Rather, you may want to follow people who are successful in life, in their thought process and not in their rituals or habits. Because what works for him may not work for other people. It is finding what works for you.
Health is a part of success, and having a mindset of possibilities; that everything can be created; a mindset of abundance, not of scarcity. Never feel that something can't be done or impossible to do because it will only be impossible for you and not for anyone else. Do not be afraid to fail because you only fail when you give up.

01:04 Breaking the Myth: Genetics are not like rocks and the DNA laid down at birth does not necessarily affect you every single day of your life. Whatever genes you got when you were born are neither necessarily what you're keeping until the day you die nor are the genes that determine the day you'll die.

02:03 We change a lot more than we're aware of. Every day, billions of our cells die and are reproduced. We are constantly rebuilt leaving us vulnerable to the influences of the environment around us.

02:46 Epigenetics is all about activating and deactivating genes that we already have encoded in our DNA in the process of constant self-regeneration. The world we live in and the life we live play roles in that process.

04:31 Diseases don't lie by and large in the DNA that we inherited but mostly on which of those genes are turned on and off in a person's life.

05:21 Our food, exercise, degree of stress, chemicals in our environment - everything - influences which genes are turned on or off.

11:30 An immune system in a pretty clean world tends to be over exuberant over the slightest provocations. This translates to the immune system being programmed to make more inflammation - which is great at protecting us from wound injuries but also a lot of other side effects which lead to today's diseases.

13:09 Every piece of permeability and plasticity that we have can also be turned for good. We're not cursed by the DNA that our parents gave us. That stuff is there as a menu of options, but which recipe we order out of that menu is up to us. That's something we can actually control.

15:47 Our DNAs are not strictly 100% identical to your DNA. But genetics is not a blackbox. Who you are right is a byproduct of your DNA, to some extent, but even moreso, your DNA working through your life experiences.

17:51 Vertical Transmission: Who you are today are also influenced to some extent by the life circumstances inhabited by your parents.

19:46 Methylation: Rendering a DNA deaf from incoming information to "turn off" a gene.

24:57 The life we live and circumstances we inhabit shape the way molecular biology of our bodies work and translates into a difference in the likelihood or speed of a disease.

28:04 Eudaimonic Happiness: Helps people stay healthy even though they're confronting adverse life circumstances. The kind of happiness that comes from doing something good or important. People with a higher sense of purpose and engagement have shown good gene profiles.

08:42 Photography was my Door to the Celeb World: I felt a bit out of place, but I believed that I belonged there. Even if I wasn't dressed like everybody, eventually I would learn how to fit in and be there.

11:37 Manifestation is believing something you want will happen. Put your idea in the universe and do anything in your power to make it happen.

13:42 Asian breaking into entertainment to naysayers: There should be more representation in the industry. I want to see as many Asian faces as possible.

18:11 A good time for Biohacking: When the pandemic hit, I became more into biohacking, meditation, and a lot of grounding work.

20:35 Dry Fasting is Powerful: It doesn't cost anything. But above all, dry fasting can help disconnect you from the world. It taught me that I don't need anything except for myself.

25:44 From TDinc to biohack.org: The biohacking industry is still very new. Right now, many of the influencers are men. But it has to be told also from a woman's perspective. It's just a matter of having people from different backgrounds embrace this new form of rejuvenation and anti-aging techniques.

28:19 Everything has to be fun. With all these stimuli that we deal with, we need ways of standing out and entertainment is the best way to do that.

33:16 If you have a goal and a vision, think about your resources. Nobody can do anything by themselves. Everybody needs help. Keep asking. And provide value to people that ground you so you can come up together.

34:41 My Best Medicine: Having a strong support group.

Transition to Performance Medicine: Rooting on the desire to help people, rather than joining hospitals, Dr. Koniver started out in nutritional IVs different from the pharmaceutical models. Born were the Performance Tools.
We've been on the disease side for so long. And now, we can come into our own wellness, optimization side. And they're equally as valuable.
Peptides. Our body makes peptides - strings of amino acids, which are the "building blocks" of proteins. A small-molecule amino acid safe with ultra-rare side effects and is a very powerful tool in creating a cellular environment to push up growth hormone in a reduced level of inflammation.
Stem cells, exosomes, and some biologics. Umbilical cord stem cells are considered live cells for certain use. Exosomes are not considered live cells but can serve the purpose of the use of stemcell as the carrier of messages to the cells or tissues of the body. As a signaling cell like stemcells, it solves the chronic inflammatory state of parts inside our body to effect rejuvenation and regeneration of those that are hard to rejuvenate.
NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a type of coenzyme found in humans, animals, yeast, and basically all living things. As we age, NAD is depleting, therefore reducing the energy required to function efficiently and so on causing degenerative illnesses like diabetes, cancer, etc.
IV Phototherapy. Light is considered the most efficient form of energy transfer. These lights are absorbed by different molecules in the membranes of the mitochondria. Electrochemical change is created and healing follows.
O-Zone. Traditionally used for healing chronic disease, for healing wounds, for people with chronic fatigue. O-Zone (O3) quickly releases oxygen in the body system, and helps a lot as the most powerful nutrient. It also helps people to recover from an assault in one’s immune system like recovering back from Covid-19.
Ketamine is a medication used to induce loss of consciousness, a kind of anesthesia. It can produce relaxation and relieve pain in humans and animals.
There's a time and place for everything. There's a lot more that we can do to prevent, to make people better. But there is a role for all these amazing advances.

14:09 Creating Integrity Dating: Came about in 2020–a time when the world needed it the most. I realized that the purpose of my life is love.

21:17 Integrity Dating Course: People are showing up unconscious, out of integrity and unauthentic with their intentions. This course is all about a more conscious approach to dating. It is a global movement on conscious dating.

22:19 Three steps to integrity dating: Self-discovery through mindset work; Transform Yourself; Become Your Best Self.

22:51 Seven Pillars of Integrity Dating: Self-Love, Authenticity, Integrity, Communication, Vulnerability, Energy and Surrender.

23:32 Relationships are mirrors. Don't look at the people you attract, turn it back to yourself, and look at what is it in you that attracted that person.

24:47 It's not just about getting you to find someone; it's helping you maintain a relationship. It's not about finding the one, but becoming the one first and then sharing your love energy with others.

25:33 The most important relationship you have in your life is with yourself. That affects every other relationship you have in your life.

26:05 Becoming the love of your life: Great partners do exist but the love of your life is not outside of yourself. Make a commitment to yourself first so you can fully commit to others as well.

29:00 Conscious Communication - When you approach communication from an intentional and vulnerable space, you can go deep real fast and get to know someone's heart and soul.

31:22 If you approach dating from a place of integrity, you attract a very different kind of person—someone that meets you at the standard of love that you've set for yourself. You come from a place of abundance instead of trying to fill a void within you.

33:55 My Best Medicine: Self-Love.

03:09 From Anti-Fitness to Feel Good Expert: As soon as I made that decision, my career took off like I never would have imagined. Swimming upstream vs shifting streams - when you're moving right with the current and everything seemed to be working for you.

07:48 The Habit Loop: Habits are formed through Trigger - Behavior - Reward loops. What people tend to miss is that reward section. Because people think we don't need it but this is how the brain works. We need these positive affirmations to do these things

10:28 Habit stacking: Attach a habit you want to adapt to things that are already built into your routine so it's easier to do. Build keystone habits—those that set off a ripple effect throughout your day.

13:11 What a healthy day looks like: It is what you learn in kindergarten. Go back to the basics—there is no big secret about the stuff we have to do. The big secret is really about actually doing those things.

17:40 'It's ok to half-ass it!': It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. If you're trying to implement a habit, allow the small wins.

02:44 Dr. Eisenberg on AGT: I did it for the fun and to get the message out there that doctors and patients can break down the wall. They can be family, a friend, and co-conspirator in creativity. They can have fun together.

12:20 Doctor by Accident: I got a second chance at life and realized even as a kid how life is so fragile. You don't get what you want unless you take a chance. So I became this chance-taker and rule-breaker.

14:47 Oncology made the most sense - who needs the most light, laughter, and love in the world of medicine. The science was fascinating but it was the human side of cancer that drew me to the field. I'm on a mission to heal the disconnect between doctors and patients. It's the coming together, the connection, the communication - it all comes from love.

18:05 Burnout and Coming Out of It: It was perfectionism. Fellowship in a competitive uni (Georgetown) prepared me for academics but not for the life in private practice. I came because I want to give light, love, and laughter to oncology but the task given was to win.

21:47 The Little Perfect Storm and the Dance: A patient asked: How are you gonna take care of all of us if you can't take care of yourself? It nudged me back to who I was.

28:50 Transcendental Meditation: One of the first modalities to healing. But consistency is key. It jumpstarts the virtual cycle of getting better.

30:31 My life changed when I started writing songs for the patients. It was no longer only about seeing the patients and getting the best of medical stuff done but also talking to a patient like talking to a family. It breaks down the wall that I thought I needed to keep moving. Winning at all costs turned to connection at all costs.

37:14 Love over Fear Formula: LOVE (Listen, Observe, Verbalize, Empathize) on top, FEAR (Force, Escape, Attack, React) on the bottom.

40:24 Leading with love heals. Bring love into your practice. Your health is a team.

42:36 CPR: Connection, Presence, and Resilience.

46:58 Best Medicine: Love and Laughter. Nothing connects human beings faster than laughter.

05:13 The beauty of humor and storytelling: Bringing depth and fun together. Not trivializing people's traumas and struggle but subverts the inner critic and the ego and go around the fears to be more open and receptive to actually experience transformation.

06:26 The Shift: Without the tools, understanding, language, and model of what it looks like to navigate these heavy and uncomfortable experiences, you will default to sadness and despair. Sometimes we let the world dump into us and forget who we are.

10:13 A weight-loss journey: There's no place you'd get where you're done with personal growth. It's a constant work.

14:14 If I understand the way the system works, I can use my thoughts more effectively.

16:12 You don't have to believe everything you think. You don't have to think about everything you think about. They are literally all they are. Crush your negative thoughts with a snowglobe.

20:27 Things you can do real-time as you wait to settle that snowglobe: breathwork, meditation, progressive muscle tension techniques—everything that gets into your body. AND a trigger to remind how the system works. Allow your thoughts and feelings to be without being a nuisance.

24:56 To leave everybody I meet with at least 5% more joy than I found them: It doesn't matter what the noun or title is as long as I can bring the fundamental element of joy activation in what I do.

29:39 You're seeing me in my zone of genius—the best version of me—but there are plenty of moments that you'll not see this version of me because the entirety of the human experience is everything. You can't numb the piece that feels negatively because that will numb also the piece that you're seeing now.

01:15 The Journey to Food as Medicine: Caring for her father who was struggling with cancer led her to find ways to use food as medicine not just to heal the body but also the soul; how to use the energy of love through the vehicle food.
10:57 Culinary Alchemy: Beyond the recipe, it's the education around food. Everything has a frequency. Energy is connected to food - it is more than you put in your mouth cause you're hungry.
13:28 Meal Prep Ceremony: Before doing anything else, connect with your gratitude until you actually feel it. That connection is what you're going to take to your food or anything that you put into your body and into others. That frequency - that's love. Take that moment to really savor and honor what's in front of you.
17:22 The emotion of gratitude is one of the highest vibrational emotions and anti-aging medicine. When we eat in a state of stress, we're not actually absorbing the nutrients very well and the toxins pass through the gut - an inflammatory way to eat even if you're eating the right food!
19:16 Go-to for Anxiety and Stress: Ashwagandha and holy basil are very accessible and can be consumed in different ways. Lavender, chamomile, passionflower (great for sleep), and guava. Foods that are grounding; foods that come from the earth like root vegetables, sweet potato.
22:41 Food and Rituals for Sleep: Unwind, have a cup of tea, reduce the amount of caffeine and blue light towards the end of your day, listen to music, breathwork. Having a few key practices or rituals regularly tells your body that when you're doing that, you're telling your body to slow down and prepare to sleep.
28:03 Covid19 is Real: So much of the recovery process, if you don't have severe preexisting conditions, is truly a matter of mindset. It's hard to be fully grounded on that and help heal with your because there are so many unknowns - there's so much information and misinformation. But you're mindset is the most powerful driving factor behind your immune system.
32:31 You are completely empowered to take care of your body. Our bodies are designed to heal. Lean in with your mental health, your support system that is your community, and to the faith that we are incredible systems.
36:24 Gems from the Community: We are powerful, we are resilient and we can thrive. Energy is a tool for our health and mind. The stillness is one of the most powerful biohacks that the pandemic has given us—the pandemic created space for us to reconnect with our resilience.
42:46 Serena's Best Medicine: Going back to myself. Remembering what my mission is. Remember that there's always so much more than what we think we see right in front of us.

What shaped and defined Mike Sherbakov: I've always been like a bit of a contradiction. I've always been the person who asks WHY. And that was seen then as rebellious.
Many people don't have the courage to follow what they intuitively feel in their hearts. Many would follow the status quo.
I was always the one that asked the questions. Even about the things that I believe in and value. Am I doing these things from a place of purpose?
One big regret that people have: I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. There is only one thing that's stopping people from living their purpose: YOU.
I believe that everyone is here for something great. Everyone has something that they want to pursue. Everyone wants to live a more meaningful life. It can be totally scary, but if you start asking the questions early, the earlier you get the confidence in the uncertainty of doing those things.
It's never too late to be who you might have been. You're never too late to pivot. And when you do, you can take all the experience and the knowledge you've built earlier in your life.
Where to Start: Think about the things that you enjoy doing and how you can start doing more of them.
Purpose: The things that bring joy to people. You light up when your authentic self connects to something. Share yourself being the gift to the world and that's purpose. Purpose is a powerful energy.
Your body literally starts to shut down when you stop living with purpose. People with a strong sense of purpose have a lower risk of cardiovascular events. And purpose does not have to be this big huge thing.

Thrive State: Your Blueprint for Optimal Health, Longevity, and Peak Performance

To former Miss California and TV personality, Crystal Lee, self-worth is not a number on a scale. Such an important discourse these days!

The successful personality development coach and entrepreneur, who thrived from a difficult place being Asian-American, recognizes that the highly competitive environment of pageants would sometimes require you to go beyond the lines and limits of a healthy weight. But Crystal also underscores her most prized takeaway from that glamorous world: use your desire, autonomy and agency to live healthily, thrive and inspire others.

Each one of us is unique. And unique as we are, we have different relationships with our bodies and food. And those relationships should never be conflated by our body shape or weight. Weight loss and living healthy is about looking inside and starting to implement the changes you want from your own truth!

Watch the video and get some boost and inspiration from Crystal Lee!

They say there’s no such thing as ‘one size fits all,’ or a quick fix for everything. That’s true! But listening to Dr. Nathan Bryan, the preeminent expert on the subject and author of The Nitric Oxide Solution—this is a real game-changer! To say that discoveries around the magic molecule Nitric Oxide and its role in the big picture is pivotal for the future of medicine is even an understatement.

Stardom doesn’t happen overnight but for our guest, he achieved it with just 1 awesome viral video 13 years ago. Our guest for this episode is no other than William Hung, the “She Bangs’ superstar we can never forget. He made us so happy with his jolly dance moves while auditioning for American Idol. And though it is obvious that not everyone was a fan, William just continued doing what he does best - being himself.

This episode will pluck your heartstrings but I assure you it’s all a happy ending.

Comedy meets transformation with this spiritual surgeon—Kyle Cease in the house! In this episode, you’ll be more than inspired (you’ll laugh, get your nerves out, cry, and fall in love!) to take your big leap from where you’re stuck at to YOUR NOW.

Don't make sense out of it—let the feeling be there. Let yourself be scared. Love your fear. Because the avoidance, constant resistance, and judgment of that feeling are what make you powerless.
You have to start listening to the 'now' because the now is trying to purge your story. When you listen to the silence long enough, it takes your false identity and purges it.
Kyle’s rule to self: Do a career that will expand you. Evolving Out Load is literally me coaching myself out loud and the audience can take any of the by-products.
As humans, we're always evolving and we always have the choice of evolving or contracting ourselves.
The source of almost all of the pain that we have inside is the gap between the level of awareness that we have and the level by which we live.
Our cells are receivers of the energy that we provide to it—the two main signal that we're sending is either we are in thrive state or the danger state.
Rediscovering or remembering who we are is just love. Love is still the answer.
You're no way you are just your belief. You're not your body because it's changeable. So what are you? You have to only be this moment. You have to be the all-encompassing space. You have to be permanence that's beyond the body and beliefs. You have to be just now. And when you accept that, it can transcend your limited stories.
A huge lie that we all live in is when something happens, I'll be happy. When you think that something is the source of your happiness, you become dependent on it and you think 'I'd better get more and I can’t lose this.'
I started discovering total freedom and joy—it was better than any accomplishment I've ever had. This started the shift from ‘when-something-happens-I'll-be-happy’ to ‘when-I'm-happy-things-will-happen.’
The egoic part of you that wants to run everything is actually in the way of real success. The universe got you.
If you change your story, you change the way you feel about things. And that actually changes your biochemistry in your body. The story itself is medicine.
The Wisdom and Healing from Our Children: Knowing and experiencing that I would (and I do) love my daughter no matter what made me realize that I didn’t need to be something to be loved and worthy. Experiencing this kind of love was a healing experience.
The Gift on the Other Side of Loss: The part of us that always sought a person’s approval will wither along with our grief for losing that person. And then we become more present in our own moment. Loss or the dark has this other side to it.
2020 and the Other Side of the Pandemic: From God's perspectives, this is all of us learning and releasing; learning our patterns, purging our past to be more present. Up until 2020, many of us have our life comfortable enough but not thriving on what we truly are.
The more I heal my inner child, the more I'm safer, the more expansive I am and the more expansive she is. I'm not here trying to parent from a place of what could go wrong. I'm here expanding myself and finding my own inner compass.
Your kid is your reason—not your reason you can't, but your reason you have to.
Kyle’s Best Medicine: My daughter and the NOW.

We have a lot of insecurities as a person. I can't think of anyone who's not or someone who never reached a point in their life where they wish to change or hide something they don't like about themselves.

It's human nature, but since we feel insecure about our body, physical appearance, or probably with our personality, we lose sight of all our good qualities. This mindset says a lot about why many people try to be other people. It's hard to show up in our own skin sometimes, and we lose our sense of authenticity. But despite that, we can outgrow it.

Listen to this episode with Charles Chen, and you will realize that trying to fit in the mold even harder to be accepted just robs your chances of improving. And that believing in yourself and intuition will take you where you belong.

Did you know that a healthy heart is very crucial to living longer? In fact, the opposite can not only cut our life short but also give us a “heart time” while we are still alive. This is why we always need to be mindful of what we are eating, doing, and thinking. Not to mention that a regular visit to the doctor is also highly recommendable.

In this episode, Dr. Brain Lima will join us to educate us more about cardiovascular health. He is a Cardiothoracic Surgeon and Author of Heart to Beat. Join us and know how you can start the year right. You never know when a heartbeat is gonna last.

Our society is like a choice-driven jungle, and sometimes our minds are scattered somewhere with a vast amount of decision phobia. Many of us find decision making to be hard. We feel hesitant the moment we dip our feet at least an inch away from our comfort zone.

It is human nature to find it hard to commit to large or even small choices. It is okay if we feel overwhelmed by the infinite selections surrounding us, and it leaves us paralyzed, unmotivated, feeling lost and empty most of the time - BUT not for too long. These hiccups are also the very stones that weigh us down. At some point, we need to decide whether we stay grounded or we move forward.

Join us in this episode today as we discover the healing power that resides in every single decision we make in this lifetime. Don't let it pass you!

The journey is the destination.

I always believe this because I’ve been through a lot to get myself to wherever I am right now. I did a lot of things to earn wealth before and because of that, I ended up using the money or wealth that I earned to regain my health. It was very frustrating and it’s just awful. Until I came to realize that no matter what we achieve in life, if the journey doesn’t make us feel happy then it’s not worth it.

If you agree, watch this episode and know how you can achieve peak performance without the emptiness and sickness by hacking your movement and breathing. Simple, right? Enjoy!

We all know that life doesn’t come with a manual. We don’t wake up one day and we instantly know what to do or what we want to achieve in our life. If you know what you want and you are on your way, lucky you. But for some people it can actually be the hardest thing to realize and in the end, the feeling of being lost and the unhappiness from it all are just a-day-in-a-life scenario for them. I know it, I’ve been there and as a doctor, I am well aware how our energy can manifest into our health.

That is why in this episode I am very lucky to have Ostric Chau as my guest. I know you’ve seen him alot in TV and he is a wonderful person in real life. We talked about life, how to move on and a lot more. So if you are feeling down, if you are carrying a heavy burden in your heart know that you are not alone. Just join us and know how your inner truth can help you move forward.

In this episode, we talked shit! Yes, it’s all about shit. But before I go ahead and say it was fun, let me just clarify that you don’t need to get my fiance or the authorities involved in this. This is definitely on a professional level. This is about the shit that literally passes out of you from... down there.

I am sure a lot of you are asking WHY? Why this topic? Well, let’s make it short. It’s simply because there are things that only Doctors know and can explain to you. In this episode, I am pleased to introduce Dr. Mary Pardee. She is an Integrative Gastrointestinal Specialist and a Founder of Modern Medicine. She joined us to discuss your health and how your gut affects your everyday life.

Join us and you might just know what your stool color is trying to tell you - cool stuff and more!

This episode has been a pleasure to make but first and foremost I would just like to share how this one all came together. So it’s 3am in the morning, it was considerably very early and I was looking for a friend who can join me make my 1st episode memorable. I’ve been a fan of his work for a long time now so I sent him a DM through Instagram and Voila! As straightforward as that, here we are!

Dr. Ian Smith is the host of the “Doctors”, he achieved a lot in the past years and he joined us in my podcast, a very humble guest indeed, just to share his knowledge and experiences in life. He also talked a bit about an upcoming book too (very exciting!). But the best part of this episode are the tips and the deep conversion we shared about life and how we can figure things out this year.

Join us in this episode as we provide answers to our biggest “HOW-TOs” this year 2021.
