From high school wrestling beginner to college wrestling punch bag to finally All American overcomer and Olympic hopeful. And when that was done, on to Judo on a whim...and one questionable call away from the Olympics. The best way to describe this conversation is just to drop in some of the juicy one liners that peppered this pod and kept us coming back for more...and more...and more. And now, in no particular order, some nuggets for you...Judo, it's like wrestling in pajamas.You know, all the illegal stuff from wrestling? You can do it in judo!Are you on the path? Look how far you've come.When you get through this, you'll be better on the other side.And last, but not least...Would the “you” of today SMASH the “you” of 6 months ago?Prime Health Associates

In this episode, we delve into 2 big issues- gut health and sleep optimization. We discuss her insights and approach to gut health, the gut microbiome, the gut-brain connection, along with her own personal journey with this issue.

Dr. Benjamin Morrell is 1 of 14 children. He was raised in the humble countryside of Oklahoma.

Through traumatic events and adversity early in his life he developed a deep purpose and passion to help others do the same. At 18 he dedicated his life's work to becoming a doctor in order to have access to help people at the highest level. From community college to graduating Summa Cum Laude and eventually receiving his Doctorate of Medicine from University Of Oklahoma, Dr. Morrell understands what it takes to start from the bottom. Dr. Morrell believes in not only healing but to see his clients and patients truly thrive and succeed. Dr. Morrell sees the mind as just one part of the healing process and understands true healing requires that we look at the entirety of our lives.
