In this episode, Arnold strips away the motivation talks and life philosophies to return to the most fundamental lesson he ever learned. The lesson might have started in the gym, but it transformed everything else in his life: the principle of full range of motion.Every exercise, when done correctly, is both a stretch and a flex. Whether you're squatting, doing pull-ups, or performing curls, the pattern is the same: go all the way down, then all the way up. This isn't just about building muscle; it's about developing the mental discipline to be fully present in every moment and refuse to accept half-efforts in any area of life.Arnold shares why so many people sabotage their own progress by loading too much weight, cutting their range short, and rushing through sets. They're not cheating the weights; they're cheating themselves out of real growth. He explains how the "mind-muscle connection" isn't just gym jargon, it's a form of meditation that teaches you to master the moment you're in, rather than just getting through it.What You'll Learn:Why full range of motion (complete stretch and flex) is the foundation of both physical training and life successHow the same discipline that produces a perfect rep translates directly to career achievement, relationships, and personal goalsThe practical challenge Arnold gives every lifter.Why shortcuts never build real strength, and how training with total focus prepared Arnold for everything from movie sets to the governor's officePlus, the latest science on health optimization:Sleep Temperature Breakthrough: New research reveals that lowering your core body temperature can increase deep sleep by 36%. Learn the optimal room temperature and practical strategies to help your body's natural cooling process for better recovery and HRV.The Step Sweet Spot: A comprehensive analysis of over 100,000 people shows you don't need 10,000 steps to dramatically improve longevity. This episode is a masterclass in the difference between going through the motions and truly showing up. Arnold's message is clear: stop living a "half-rep life." Go all the way down, go all the way up, and make every moment count.Tired of fitness and nutrition plans that don't work?

Matt delves into Heart Rate Variability (HRV), the subtle variation in timing between each heartbeat. He explains that a healthy heart is like a "jazz drummer," not a rigid metronome, and a higher HRV reflects a resilient body that can adeptly balance its stress and rest systems. This episode unpacks the science behind HRV and explores the actionable strategies you can employ to improve this critical marker of your overall health.Matt then explores the key lifestyle factors that significantly influence your HRV. He highlights sleep as the most powerful tool for nightly recalibration, explaining how even moderate sleep loss can suppress HRV. The discussion also covers how exercise, especially HIIT, boosts adaptability, and how stress management techniques can calm the system's "static noise." Finally, he touches on the importance of a consistent circadian rhythm and avoiding substances like alcohol to protect your heart's healthy variability.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Craving more energy, better metabolism, and immunity?

Learn how to restore your adrenal function and reclaim your energy with this comprehensive 90-day reset plan. Nurse Doza maps out a practical approach to reversing adrenal fatigue through measurable testing (DHEAS and HRV), lifestyle modifications including belly breathing and sunlight exposure, and targeted supplementation to support your body's stress response and energy production. Character count: 394 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Measure Your Adrenal Function: DHEAS blood testing (optimal range: 200-250) provides a stable measurement of adrenal function over time without daily variation, while Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tracks your recent stress response and nervous system health in real-time. Activate Rest and Digest Mode: Belly breathing (diaphragmatic breathing) actively shifts your nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest mode by increasing parasympathetic activity, lowering cortisol levels, and improving HRV with just 4-7 minutes daily. Morning Sunlight Resets Your System: Getting sunlight within the first hour of waking naturally boosts cortisol production, increases serotonin synthesis, provides vitamin D, and sets your circadian rhythm for better sleep—aim for 30-45 minutes of direct sunlight without sunglasses. Support with Targeted Nutrition: Bovine adrenal gland extracts provide building blocks for your own adrenal glands to resume normal function, a practice used successfully since the early 1900s, while B vitamins (especially B5 and B6) help regulate cortisol production and support energy metabolism. Address Underlying Trauma: Unresolved trauma from childhood or adulthood chronically activates your stress response and suppresses adrenal function—addressing it through therapies like CBT, EMDR, or somatic experiencing is essential for long-term adrenal recovery and nervous system regulation. FEATURED PRODUCT Zen – featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function and help regulate cortisol production—key factors in restoring energy and recovering from burnout as discussed in this episode. The bovine adrenal gland provides the building blocks for your own adrenal glands to resume normal function, while B vitamins (especially B5 and B6) support healthy stress response. Zen is the gentle, targeted support your adrenals need during this 90-day reset.

The show starts with the 2025 Lucid Air Sedans, which Benjamin thoroughly reviews. This EV sedan from a well-funded startup, promises lots of performance and range, but Benjamin has some thoughts to share about all that. And he wonders, why do we have to keep changing the way we turn cars on and off? Then Sami takes on the 2025 Acura ADX, a much needed subcompact crossover in the Japanese automakers lineup. Based around the Integra, Civic and (ugh) HR-V, the ADX features a punchy 1.5-turbo which may be able to help us gloss over the car's CVT. Sami has plenty of positives and negatives to discuss with the ADX, so be sure to listen to the whole segment to learn everything you need to know about this new crossover.

Dr. Tony Ebel reveals the critical difference between nervous system REPAIR and nervous system REGULATION—and why getting the order right changes everything. While tools like breathwork, craniosacral therapy, and neurofeedback are trending, they can't work effectively until foundational trauma is addressed first. He explains how physical, chemical, and emotional stress gets locked into the body through subluxation, creating sympathetic dominance that blocks healing. This episode provides a roadmap for sequencing your healing journey correctly, knowing when you're ready for regulation tools, and why some families need years of foundational chiropractic care before other interventions will stick. If you've tried everything and feel stuck, this is your answer.----Links & ResourcesPrevious episode: Time & Talking Doesn't Heal Trauma..

Stress isn't just in your head; your body keeps score. Justin Roethlingshoefer explains how heart rate variability (HRV) reveals whether your body feels safe enough to heal, and why understanding this single metric can unlock lasting energy, better sleep, and complete ownership of your health.After facing a life-threatening diagnosis and years of being told he was “fine,” Justin turned to data to find what every doctor missed. His journey from a teenage hockey player battling anorexia to coaching elite NHL and NCAA athletes led him to build Own It, a health optimization ecosystem helping people shift from reactive healthcare to proactive health ownership.In this conversation, Justin shares how HRV acts as the “language of your body,” what it really tells you about stress, and how data-driven personal rhythms create genuine vitality.He also opens up about the spiritual and emotional layers of performance, why self-awareness outperforms willpower, and how purpose and physiology intertwine to build the foundation for longevity and impact."Your body doesn't know the difference between mental, physical, spiritual, or emotional stress. All it knows is it has to keep you alive." - Justin RoethlingshoeferSupport the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and let us know!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 Mentioned in the Episode:Justin's book, The Power of Ownership: https://a.co/d/gEOgMUtAbout Justin Roethlingshoefer:Justin Roethlingshoefer is the founder of Own It, an elite health and performance coaching ecosystem integrating data, faith, and science to help leaders and athletes optimize energy, focus, and recovery.

In this powerful episode, Paul Scheele sits down with Dr. Alex Loyd, creator of The Healing Codes, to explore how buried physiological stress and what Alex calls "cellular memory" can limit health, abundance, and spiritual connection. Alex recounts the dramatic moment when he received the blueprint for The Healing Codes under emotional crisis, and how that system has since helped thousands. He explains how roughly 90–95% of disease is tied to stress, how unresolved trauma becomes stored in the body, and how his 6-minute code routine can reduce stress dramatically—often within 30 minutes. He also discusses the science behind cellular memory, heart-rate variability testing, double-blind research validating his method, and how each person can begin applying the healing codes immediately. Paul then transitions into a solo segment, recommending supporting Paraliminal audio sessions that complement Alex's codes in five thematic areas: stress release, memory clearing, intuitive alignment, energetic support, and ongoing integration. Key Takeaways: Many illnesses begin with prolonged, unresolved stress and emotional trauma stored at a cellular level. Alex's Healing Codes system locates four healing centers (eyebrow region, Adam's apple, jaw, temples) and uses fingertip stimulation to activate them in a 6-minute protocol. Within a 30-minute window, around 86–87% of participants report ≥50% stress reductions per HRV measurements. 32 double-blind studies across health, psychological, and relational issues report significant benefits from applying the Codes. True transformation requires consistent practice: emotional acceptance (gratitude), the code routine, and spiritual alignment (prayer or inner surrender). Action Steps / Suggested Practices: Try the 6-minute Healing Code sequence today: Hands-bridge → Adam's apple → Jaw → Temples, repeat 3–4 cycles while focusing on the issue you wish to shift. Pair with a daily Paraliminal aligned to your focus (e.g., stress clearing, deeper healing, inner alignment). Journal your emotional state before and after; note changes in mood, clarity, or physical tension. Dr. Alex Loyd, PhD, ND, is the creator of The Healing Codes and author of bestselling books including "The Healing Code" and "The Love Code" (also published as "Beyond Willpower"). For over two decades, he has taught simple, non-invasive methods to help reduce physiological stress and address the energetic roots of emotional and physical issues, drawing on psychology, natural medicine, and heart-rate variability assessment. His work has reached audiences worldwide through books, trainings, and seminars. Learn more about Alex at thehealingcodes.com . Paul Scheele, PhD, is an acclaimed innovator within the fields of neuro-linguistic programming, whole mind learning, preconscious processing, and accelerated learning.

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer introduces “Vitamin G”—gratitude—as a spiritual discipline and a biological signal that shifts the body from protect → heal. Beyond surface-level thank-yous, Justin unpacks embodied gratitude that rewires the brain, raises HRV, lowers cortisol, and realigns your nervous system with peace and presence. From worship playlists to breath-linked journaling, he shows how gratitude transforms physiology—and why it's the essential “vitamin” your soul needs to thrive.Episode HighlightsGratitude vs. Thankfulness: Moving from polite thanks to embodied reverence that changes state.Bio-Signal, Not Just Mindset: Gratitude activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/repair), often reflected as higher HRV, better recovery, immune function, and emotional regulation.Neurochemistry of Gratitude: Engages the prefrontal cortex; supports serotonin & dopamine pathways → durable, positive neural wiring (not just a temporary mood).Faith Meets Physiology: Scripture's call to thanksgiving aligns with measurable stress reduction and decision clarity.Environment Matters: Music and inputs shift state (e.g., worship vs. “depressive playlist”); be the thermostat, not the thermometer.Real-World Wins: Clients who integrate gratitude stacks often see HRV and symptom improvements (e.g., brain fog, bloat) as stress load decreases.Pattern Interrupt (daytime): When stress hits, take one slow breath and recall one specific gratitude; notice the state shift.Evening Rewind (3–5 minutes): Play High–Low–Buffalo (high = win, low = challenge, buffalo = surprise) and find gratitude in each.Track Your HRV: Note last month's average; run the three practices for 7 days and compare average HRV, sleep quality, and mood.Worship Playlist: Start or end the day with gratitude-centered worship to prime the nervous system for calm, clarity, and connection.Scripture & Studies MentionedPsalm 100:4 — Enter his gates with thanksgiving (gratitude opens gates).Psalm 46:10 — Be still and know (stillness precedes state change).Gratitude & HRV / Parasympathetic Activation: Research linking gratitude journaling/practice to improved HRV, emotional regulation, and recovery.Neuroplasticity & Neurochemistry: Gratitude practices support prefrontal activation and serotonin/dopamine balance, reinforcing resilient pathways.===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

In this continuation of the conversation between Dr. James Haley and host Dr. Olli Tikkanen, the focus shifts to the day-to-day challenges that prevent people with disabilities—especially spinal cord injuries—from engaging in physical activity. Dr. Haley outlines individual, environmental, and social barriers, such as fatigue, lack of adapted equipment, inaccessible facilities, and social stigma. Importantly, he also shares insights into what motivates and supports physical activity, including community, co-designed interventions, and creative at-home options. The episode explores how sports like wheelchair basketball foster belonging and motivation, while also addressing global disparities in access to inclusive programs. Dr. Haley also touches on his vision for scaling his work beyond the UK to low- and middle-income countries. Finally, the discussion includes practical examples and participant experiences from his research, as well as reflections on co-design principles and the potential future role of AI in enhancing adaptive health technologies. _____________   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Collect self-report physical activity data easily and cost-effectively with Mimove. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

Heart rate variability isn't just a fitness metric, it's the master signal of human performance, emotional regulation, and longevity. This episode reveals how you can use HRV to hack your nervous system, regulate stress in real time, and build true resilience from the inside out. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., Director of Research at the HeartMath Institute and a leading psychophysiologist exploring how the heart, brain and human consciousness are interconnected. For more than three decades his pioneering research into heart-brain communication and geomagnetic field interactions has supported the development of HRV/coherence-training tools and coherence biofeedback technology. His work has been featured in documentaries such as I Am, The Power of the Heart and The Living Matrix. Together, Dave and Dr. McCraty uncover how heart-brain coherence can improve neuroplasticity, optimize sleep, strengthen mitochondria, and create emotional stability even under extreme stress. You'll discover how five minutes a day of coherence training can elevate focus, resilience, and connection, helping every other biohack, from fasting and ketosis to supplements and nootropics, work more effectively. You'll Learn: • What HRV really measures and why it predicts performance and longevity • How coherence breathing balances your nervous system and sharpens cognition • Why emotional regulation begins in the heart, not the mind • How environmental and solar energy affect your physiology, and how to stay stable • The Navy-proven HRV method for better sleep and stress recovery • How coherence training outperforms traditional meditation for daily resilience • The measurable science behind “radiating love” and creating heart-based connection This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, brain optimization, functional medicine, and anti-aging.

Rob Wilson is a performance educator with over twenty years of experience helping people build durable, high-functioning bodies and minds. He joins us on The Ready State Podcast to unpack the uncomfortable truth about performance: it's not free. In this powerful conversation with Kelly and Juliet Starrett, Rob dives into the real price of pushing your limits, why sleep is non-negotiable, and how to reframe “selfish” self-care as the foundation for showing up better in every area of life. Together, they tackle burnout, aging, and what it takes to sustain health and high output in a world that rewards constant hustle.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe three waves of fitness, and why Rob Wilson's book represents the vanguard of the third wave.The problem with the democratization of health metrics like Heart Rate Variability (HRV) if you don't know how to interpret the data or take action.The story behind the "Check Engine Light" metaphor, which helps high performers prioritize what to address and what to ignore.Why the phrase "self-care" often fails with service-oriented and high-performing individuals and the analogy used instead.The "Cobra Effect" or Goodhart's Law, and how chasing a metric like a high HRV can lead to misleading and useless outcomes.How to stop the "medical cascade" and apply an experimental framework (test/retest) to chronic, nagging pain and everyday health issues.The true cost of high performance and the crucial need for a "cost mitigation strategy" to avoid burnout.Why context matters more than perfect protocols, and how to create a personal longevity dashboard for continuous adaptation.For more info, follow Rob on Instagram and definitely pick up a copy of his new book, Check Engine Light: Tuning Your Body and Mind to Achieve Performance Longevity.Key Highlights: (00:00) - Intro(00:48) - Check Engine Light Book Overview(06:49) - Check Engine Light Metaphor Explained(14:06) - Importance of Check Engine Light for Everyone(17:49) - Inputs and Outputs in Life(20:37) - One Size Fits All Approach: Myth or Reality?(25:25) - Identifying What Matters Most to You(27:28) - Performance Costs: Understanding Trade-offs(29:27) - Recommended Supplements for Health(32:55) - LMNT: Importance of Hydration Explained(37:10) - Resistance: Creativity's Universal Challenge(39:48) - Becoming Reasonable: A Personal Journey(45:18) - Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Benefits Explained(47:15) - Using Tracking Devices Mindfully(49:57) - The Cobra Effect: Understanding Consequences(57:55) - Setting Up Environments for Success(1:00:20) - Changes Since Writing the Book(1:03:14) - What's Next for Rob: Future Plans(1:04:30) - Finding Rob: Where to ConnectSponsorsThis episode of The Ready State Podcast is brought to you by LMNT and Momentous.

Have you ever thought about how your own stress affects your kids — or how your parents' stress might still be affecting you? In this powerful conversation with Dr. Taz Bhatia, integrative medicine physician, author, and founder of Hol+, we explore how the health of the parents — especially the mother — sets the tone for the entire family system. Because wellness isn't just about self-care… it's about the legacy you're creating for the next generation. Together, we unpack how patterns of anger, overwhelm, and chronic stress get passed down in families — and how to finally break the cycle. In this episode you'll hear: Why stress isn't always bad, but becomes harmful when your body never feels safe (aka the cortisol hum). How unresolved emotions and disconnection show up in the body — from hormone imbalances to fatigue and resentment. The way childhood modeling shapes how we handle conflict and stress in marriage. Practical ways to track your body's signals (like HRV) and create a calmer emotional climate at home. Simple habits couples can build to protect their emotional and physical well-being — and, in turn, their kids'. Dr. Taz also shares how she's disrupting the medical industry through her Hol+ network (add link) — an integrative system combining Eastern and Western medicine to care for families as a whole, offering both in-person clinics and virtual access nationwide. Her mission is simple yet profound: to help every family heal from the inside out. This episode is a reminder that when one person in the family heals, everyone benefits. The health of your marriage, your body, and your home are all connected — and you have the power to create a new emotional legacy for your family.

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer reframes “slowing down” as the doorway to breakthrough. If you've been chasing certainty, quick fixes, or the next hack, Justin shows why true progress lives on the other side of obedience—and how to reach it through his S.L.O.W. framework: Stillness → Listen → Obedience → Wisdom.Blending behavioral science, stress physiology, and Scripture, he explains why our brains resist obedience (control, instant gratification, loss aversion, and misunderstanding God's heart), and how practicing stillness and listening raises HRV, calms cortisol, sharpens decision-making, and creates spiritual alignment. He also shares a personal story—choosing integrity over a “bigger” opportunity—that opened unexpected doors and confirmed a simple truth: obedience precedes blessing.Episode Highlights- Why We Resist Obedience: Control vs. trust, impatience & dopamine, loss aversion, and a distorted view of God's heart.S.L.O.W. Framework:S — Stillness: Downregulates stress, raises HRV (readiness), and opens receptivity. (Ps. 46:10)L — Listen: Quiet the noise to hear the whisper, not the shout. (1 Kings 19:12)O — Obedience: The hinge between hearing and harvest. (Luke 5:5)W — Wisdom: Fruit of consistent, values-aligned obedience; rewires the brain for clarity and resilience (neuroplasticity).- Science of Slowing Down: Calm-state decisions are more accurate and less reactive; trust signals lower cortisol and increase oxytocin/serotonin.- Story of Integrity: Saying “yes” to a smaller platform led to a greater calling—proof that character-driven obedience compounds.- Faith Lens: “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.” (John 14:23) Blessing follows alignment, even when the path feels costly.Action Steps- Daily 5-Minute Stillness: Begin each morning with uninterrupted quiet—no phone, no notes—just breathing and presence.- Practice Active Listening: Journal any “nudges” you sense; ask, “What's the next right obedient step?”- One Act of Obedience Today: Choose a small, specific yes (or no) aligned with your values. Log it and the outcome.- Evening Reflection: Trace fruit back to prior acts of obedience; look for the 3–24 month “compounding” effect.- Reduce Reactivity: Use a simple wind-down (3-2-1: 3 hrs no heavy food, 2 hrs no work, 1 hr no screens) to keep cortisol low and decisions clear.Scripture & Studies Mentioned- Psalm 46:10 — “Be still and know…”- 1 Kings 19:12 — God's whisper, not the whirlwind- Luke 5:5 — Obedience → Overflow- Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trust → Straight paths- John 14:23 — Love → Obedience → Presence- Behavioral notes on loss aversion, dopamine & instant rewards, and calm-state decision quality (e.g., HBR insights; Stanford findings referenced in discussion)===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Watch the FULL podcast here: https://youtu.be/bj0-zUDFkxcWorried that your HRV looks “low” on your wearable? I ask what a low HRV actually means, why different devices produce different numbers, and when a change is worth paying attention to.This clip explores how to interpret heart rate variability without getting lost in the daily noise. We discuss why HRV is a legitimate health metric with decades of research behind it, yet the absolute score is not comparable across devices or people because different technologies use different calculations. I'm taking a closer look at establishing a personal baseline over 21–30 days, why a four-day rolling view can reduce anxiety, and why consistent shifts over seven or more days matter more than one-off dips. We cover the role of genetics (around 20 percent of HRV), how lifestyle often explains age-related changes, and sex differences including a dip in the 40–50 window likely linked to menopause that later rebounds in the dataset referenced. You'll also hear why stability can reflect resilience, why big swings can be a red flag even when the number is “high,” and how resting heart rate and overnight respiratory rate fit into the bigger picture. I share my own readings (HRV around 10–13 on one device, resting heart rate at 45) and experiences using No Watch, Oura, and Eight Sleep, plus a mention of devices commonly used for HRV. As a nutritionist and health communicator, I focus on practical takeaways: use one device consistently, track trends, and avoid cross-device comparisons.***This episode is sponsored by: NOWATCH: Health tracking reimaginedKnow your body, trust yourself.15% off with code LWBW15 at nowatch.com***Sign up to Sarah's Compassionate Cure newsletter: Science Simplified, Health Humanised.
