#114 My lovely guest this week is Judy Millington, a recent Live In Flow Retreat attendee. Her journey is incredible, and I reached out to her and asked if she would come on the show to share. Enjoy! Show notes from Judy's journey: Judy is a country girl at heart having been blessed to spend her youth on 150 acres in South Gippsland, Victoria, with a creek bordering two boundaries, sheep, cattle and a veggie garden. This was an era in the mid-70s to mid-80s where farming was organic without the fancy label. Despite the fresh air, climbing trees and frolicking amongst the rolling hills a particular event, just prior to her teenage years, had the impact of ‘freezing’ Judy in time. A cascade of physical symptoms from a general feeling of unwellness, nausea, stomach pain, unwavering fatigue, foggy head and lack of clarity have ensued over the course of the last 40 years to varying degrees. A relentless search for ‘answers’ since her teens and a barrage of medical and functional practitioner visits, countless tests, protocols, nutrition and supplementation has at best enabled short term respite. Judy began to work with Dave O’Brien at 5th Element Wellness, as a result of Judy’s body breaking down, which lead to the introduction to Guy Lawrence’s Let It In Academy and more recently the Live in Flow Retreat facilitated by Guy, Matt Omo and Petra Brzovic. For the first time Judy started really looking within, as the source of her physical symptoms. Judy was also undiagnosed post-partum depression at the birth of her daughter and has carried guilt around this for the last 19 years, of which there was a massive at the recent Live in Flow Retreat. More than anything Judy is so grateful that her husband, without dipping his toe into any of this work prior, on faith joined Judy at the retreat to support her. It became clearly evident on day one that he had his own journey to take, but that is another story. Through becoming present for the first time in her life and being more aware and accepting of her inner dialogue, thoughts and feelings Judy’s axis is shifting back on course (and continues to positively impact all areas of her life). Judy subscribes to the notion that there is no magic external pill to fix all ills, but firmly believes all that we are seeking and all the resources we need to feel whole are already within us.   Learn More about Live In Flow Retreats: www.liveinflow.co Learn more about Guy: www.guylawrence.com.au Let It In Academy: www.letitin.com.au

Location: Larwill Studio at Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne. Dates: 23-24 August 2019 A lot of information during this seminar was complimented by the Gut Health seminar earlier this year from Dave at 5th Element Wellness. Blood testing and it's results can give you a lot of information on unlocking your long term health prospects! Exhausting weekend but enlightened!

I had such an insightful day with Dave at his seminar on Gut Health on Sat 22 June 2019. Having some basic biochemistry from high school and University this was a fast tracked refresher to understand the signaling pathways of the body. Learning about the mechanisms of SIBO and how the infrastructure of the gastrointestinal tract can be a leading cause of a WHOLE SPECTRUM of health and wellbeing issues. My key takeaways are 3 fold in terms of Priority Systems: 1. Manage stress responses (Survival) >> DEATH 2. Manage blood sugar levels (Energy) >> DEATH 3. Antibody response (Immune system) >> DEATH Any malfunction with these Priority Systems will divert resources from other areas to preserve your life and avoid DEATH. More on this space to come!

I've mentioned before that I'm a big fan of 5th Element Wellness based in FItzroy Melbourne. I've been to a yoga class plus I've read all their materials online - very impressed! So much so that I'm giving them the absolute tip of the hat by modelling my own business after their example! More on this to come!

Our guest for this week is David O’Brien, fitness manager, and co-founder of 5th Element Wellness.David approaches the question of achieving fitness and health with a goal of combining knowledge and perfecting his own personal theory. He prefers to take into account various standpoints seemingly opposite or different and figure out a way how to connect them into a system that utilizes the benefits of each method. But building on this holistic approach further, he understands the fact that not every solution fits perfectly with every person. He recognizes individual differences in terms of health and fitness based on unique needs and requirements.He co-founded 5th Element Wellness with the idea of providing a holistic approach to health and fitness. His company is a world-class health club, which provides all the knowledge and tools to achieve great results and optimal wellness. This is David’s second time on our show! In our previous episode, we talked all about the 5 elements of wellness. We also discussed David O’Brien’s habits, hacks, philosophies, and tools that have formed the threads of his success, happiness, health, and wealth. Check out the full episode here!Connect with David:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/david.obrien.106902LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-o-brien-38350176/Website: https://www.5ew.com.au/Building Strength“Strength is like the seed. So you want to plant the seed… watch it grow, and let all the other fundamental things build around it.” - David O’BrienOut of the 5 elements of wellness, David places building strength to the very core of any approach involved with improving your well-being. He goes into details of why we need to focus on developing muscle fiber and how it affects other aspects of our performance and health. David also reflects on the connection between strength and movement, explaining in much detail how we can apply an exercise plan based on complex movements in order to get the most out of our workouts.Detoxification and Gut Health“Detoxification starts in the gut and it finishes in the gut.” - David O’BrienDavid debunks the classical understanding that focuses all of the responsibility of the detoxification process on the liver. He introduces to us the importance of gut lining and the role it plays as part of our immune system. He uses a lovely waterfall analogy to explain the process of digestion and all of the elements that play their part in determining our level of gut health. It’s quite intuitive that nutrition has an enormous impact on our gut health. But David reflects also on stress management and how that can also be of great importance in this segment of achieving wellness. At this point in the podcast, you get to witness what the holistic approach to health is all about. We move the narrative to the psychological and explore the connection between emotions and the subsequent effect they have on the gut lining. Listen to the full podcast to find out which 4 key emotions play a role in protecting your immune system!Is Stress Necessarily Bad?“What I need to listen and to understand as well… I mean I’ve gone through this period myself, is where we sort of demonize stress.” - David O’BrienThere’s a tendency in our society, whether we’re talking about our work or private life, that we need to avoid stress at all cost. David defines this as the “demonization of stress”, arguing that, in fact, stress plays a very important role in our development. Using the analogy of a seesaw, he explains how our organism goes through these periodical changes in terms of needs, and he suggests that at times we’re going to have to be eating more, and at other times we should be eating less. As usual, David goes into meticulous details to provide scientific arguments and explanations for his claims, and we talk a lot about hormone production, physiological effects of fasting, and the connection between resilience and stress. Bottom line is that stress can have a positive influence on our health and our development, but it needs to come in specific shapes and forms. The scientific term for this type of stress is eustress.“It’s all about repair and recover so that, when we face that stress response again… your stress resilience is better.” - David O’BrienBlue Zone Analysis: In Pursuit of Longevity“Last year we actually did our first retreat to a Blue Zone area and we actually went to Sardinia where they have some of the highest longevity statistics in the world.” - David O’BrienBlue Zones are parts of the world where the average life expectancy is much higher than in other areas. Dan Buettner has identified five blue zones which are: Okinawa (Japan)Sardinia (Italy)Nicoya (Costa Rica)Icaria (Greece) Areas populated by the Seventh-day Adventists in Loma Linda, CaliforniaDavid intends to study these areas in order to discover patterns and try to incorporate them in his personal, ever-expanding theory of health and fitness. In this section of the podcast, he goes on to present the characteristics of diets in some of these areas, particularly in Sardinia and Okinawa.David’s Message of Inspired EvolutionThis has been one of the most information-packed podcasts we’ve done and David has provided us with amazing details about nutrition, physiology and he’s shared the intricacies of processes necessary for achieving wellness and optimal health. Throughout the podcast, he blesses us with an array of inspired messages we can take with us into our everyday lives and use as a stepping stone to explore the potentials of our health even further. It’s really difficult to settle for just one but if we had to, we should probably go with eliminating prejudices and cognitive biases related to food and its consumption. It is true that what we put into our bodies is of the highest importance, but building a culture of fearing food will hardly do anyone any good and will definitely have a negative effect on the development of the generations to come. That is why David’s message of inspired evolution is:“The demonization of food needs to stop.” - David O’Brien See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I'm planning to commit to fortnightly Yoga classes at 5EW (5th Element Wellness) in Fitzroy.

David O'Brien is Fitness Manager & Co-Founder of 5th Element Wellness in Melbourne. "One thing has really resonated with me over the last few years, and that is our constant search for a mono therapy to being fit and healthy. Yogi's, bodybuilders, it seems to be a one-method solution. Would it not seem more sensible to apply the approach that each method has its obvious benefits, and in fact actually complement each other perfectly? I have believed for many years now that a more rounded approach is needed in the fitness industry. Is training like a maniac 6 days a week the answer for everyone? For some people it may be. However, we need to stop putting everybody into the same one solution box. Do some people need to increase lean muscle mass? More than likely! Do some people need to implement stress-reducing measures into their lifestyle? Probably! However, one approach for one particular individual may not be the right approach for another. We believe balance is the key. Lean muscle increase, stress management, detoxification, nourishing foods, and flexibility help achieve optimal results. Take one of these out, and it seems that something suffers as a consequence. Focus on all combined and optimal health can be achieved." 5th Element Wellness; Website: https://www.5ew.com.au/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/5thElementWellness/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/5elementwellness/?hl=en Brooklet Springs Farm www.brookletsprings.farm/ SPONSOR: waiket0.pruvitnow.com/ Instagram www.instagram.com/stagvision/ Instagram www.instagram.com/stagryan/ Twitter twitter.com/stagryan Snapchat @stagryan Facebook www.facebook.com/WaiKeto/ Blog stagryan.com/

Shop: http://shop.180nutrition.com.au/ Guy [00:00:30] [00:01:00] Hey everybody. Guy Lawrence of course from 180 Nutrition, and welcome to another fantastic episode of the Health Sessions, where we are connecting with leading global health and wellness experts to share the best and latest science and thinking, empowering people to turn their health and lives around. This week we have the awesome guest of Dave O’Brien, and he is the founder, I should say co-founder, of this amazing facility in Melbourne called Fifth Element Wellness. David has worked with some fantastic people including Ido Portal, Charles Poliquin, James LaValle, worked on blood markers and biochemistry, and also Louie Simmons, strength training, posterior chain and so forth. I’ve got to know Dave, he’s become a very good friend of mine and he is a wealth of knowledge and one of the first people I’ll pick up the phone to when I need to get the question answered, and to get him to share his wisdom on the podcast today was phenomenal. We tackle his own story from how he burnt out to chronic fatigue and adrenal fatigue massively, and the steps he started to take to reverse that around. Not only that, but the things that he sees on a regular basis through his Fifth Element Wellness, and the steps we can take to adjust accordingly moving forward, to create our most optimum wellness and health and the best versions of ourselves. [00:01:30] [00:02:00] Now this goes off in all sort of directions. We cover many many topics, like I said adrenal fatigue, the fitness industry in general, movement, where we should be starting from when it comes to exercise as well, and we get into hormonal function as well. You name it, it’s in there. Probably a podcast you’re going to listen to two or three times to make sure you understand what’s going on. It goes deep in places, but in other parts as well we have a really good time, and I loved every minute of it and I have no doubt you will too. I will mention the Internet is a little bit scratchy in the first five to 10 minutes. It’s still fine but the Skype drops in and out slightly so there’s not much we can do, but it clears up and is fine for the rest of the show. So stick with it. Well worth it. [00:02:30] And of course if you’re enjoying our podcasts, please subscribe to us on iTunes. Leave a review and share this with family and friends or anyone you think would benefit from listening to this episode. Because once people start to get this information behind their ears … between them I should say, not behind them, and start thinking about health and nutrition differently, these podcasts become super powerful and I’m blessed to be sharing them with you guys. And enjoy as always. Anyway, let’s go over to David O’Brien. Enjoy. Hey this is Guy Lawrence. I’m joined with Stuart Cook is always. Good afternoon Stu. Good to see you. Stu Hello Guy. Thank you. Welcome to be here. Guy And our awesome guest today is Mr Dave O’Brien. Dave, welcome to the show buddy. David: Thank you very much. Hi guys. It’s great to be on the show, it’s amazing. Great experience, thank you. [00:03:00] Guy: It’s the official one. We did a bit of a rogue podcast last year for our listeners, I think after our fourth ice bath, and we got the iPhone set up and did one from the inside the Wim Hof Retreat. But it’s to get you back on and actually do an official episode and grill you for the next hour mate. Because I know what you’re going to have to say is going to benefit probably everyone listening to this show today. So cool. David: Yeah, I’m really looking forward to. Guy [00:03:30] So Dave mate, the first question we ask everyone on the show recently, it’s been a bit of a theme, if you got stopped in the street by a stranger and they asked you what you do for a living, what would you say? David [00:04:00] Probably the straightforward answer would be to say that I’m a strength and conditioning coach. But it’s actually not true. Because I’ve sort of drifted so far away from a strength conditioning coach, it’s just unreal. And then at the same time, I might say I’m looking at functional medicine, but then I’m [inaudible 00:03:58] inside those parameters as well, so really ultimately what I would say is I actually help people achieve their optimal health. The best version of what they can possibly achieve of themselves. Ultimately that’s what my job is. Guy Yeah, perfect. Seen that first-hand, mate, and you’re doing an amazing job. David Thank you. Guy [00:04:30] So let’s take it back a bit Dave, because I know … and this is a compliment by the way. You’re probably one of the most passionate people I know within the health industry. Your depth of knowledge is phenomenal. But I’m interested to know where that comes from, because you started life in the fitness industry and obviously it’s morphed into what it is now. So can you take us back, because you’ve been on a bit of a journey yourself. Can you fill us in a little bit? David [00:05:00] Yeah definitely. It has been an amazing journey my story, but my story I reckon is actually shared by most people. So what I’m about to say, I reckon there’s a large majority of the population that are just going through the exact same experience, and obviously it’s all to do with adrenal burnout, adrenal fatigue, adrenal dysfunction, whatever you want to label it, but ultimately that’s the experience I went through. [inaudible 00:05:19] all the time, and this is what people are going through day-to-day. [00:05:30] [00:06:00] My body from an early age showed clear signs of me suffering adrenal burnout, and I had a lot of illnesses like chronic fatigue syndrome. I got a thing called Bell’s palsy. I remember when we did the last podcast I actually talked about the experience that I had through the breathing, doing that through with Wim Hof, that actually I had Bell’s palsy on one side of my face, and that actually like a viral infection basically, it actually causes a slight paralysis on one side of my face, and actually when I did the Wim Hof breathing, I felt this tingling sensation in that left side of my face, which for me was actually nerve endings getting stimulated, and all these things that actually hadn’t been stimulated because I hadn’t been getting oxygen into my body ultimately. So my body was giving me clear signs that, like anyone, I was just avoiding those signs. And I just kept on burning the candle at both ends. [00:06:30] [00:07:00] [00:07:30] I was incredibly active, obviously as a personal trainer. I’ve been a personal trainer or strength and conditioning coach for almost 18, 19 years now. And so basically I was doing a lot of weight training, at the time I was doing a lot of triathlons, marathons. All these things that people like to do, and on top of that I was training sometimes 50, 55 clients in a week. I was sleeping about five hours, and then on the weekend I would hit it pretty hard. I partied incredibly hard. I was drinking and you name it, but basically the works. And the thing is, from my perspective, this is the majority of the population. Most people are doing this. And then what really started to come to a head, is I started to get a lot of serious complications that were coming through, especially neurologically. I actually started to get a lot of things like anxiety, and I actually went from a very social person to actually having social anxiety. I used to get very anxious in social settings, which really started to make me feel quite scared, because it was the complete reverse to the person I was previously.
