In today's solocast and episode #67 of The Nourishment Mindset, I touch on four topics that recently caught my attention. It's admittedly a hodgepodge but there is one consistent thread and that's the critical importance of knowing the INGREDIENTS in our food. We evolved eating real, whole single ingredient foods and that's where we should focus for optimal health given nutrient density. As Dr. David Lustig, author of Metabolical says, “if it has an ingredient label, it's suspect.” Bien dit (well said), as the French say. The problem is that the majority of Americans consume a shocking amount of nutritionally void ultra-processed junk that's always a combo of the same brutal food equation: seed oils + glyphosated grains + preservatives/colorants + sugar or one of its 60+ other names. If this “recipe” appears on anything in your home right now, my best advice is to toss it out!We start and end with good news. Topic #1 is a discussion about food dyes/ colorants and I'm beyond thrilled to know that the US will FINALLY be banning these from our food supply. This is a massive WIN no matter what political side of the aisle you occupy. West Virginia, one of the most metabolically sick states, lead this charge so good for them. Two of my trusted resources for deeper dives on food dyes are Vani Hari, aka The Food Babe who wrote Feeding You Lies and Marion Nestle, author of Unsavory Truth (no relation to the Swiss food company). This and other health-related changes are what I have been hoping for this year, albeit skeptically.I, too, fell victim to Big Food marketing and I share my story of being a competitive age-group triathlete in my twenties and unknowingly downing this junk in bottle after bottle of red Gatorade, something I'd never ingest now. The ingredients including Red40 are a toxic soup marketed to athletes and children for “hydration” when really it's a pile of chemical crap. (In case you're wondering, you can hydrate with water with some added high quality salt like Redmond Real Salt or Baja Gold.)Topics #2-3 present unsavory and infuriating news and I'll give you a couple hints: your milk and farmed salmon labels are hiding some super shady ingredients! Tune in to find out how what's lurking beneath the surface of those incomplete ingredient labels and how to make healthier choices. I also highlight some truly disgusting “innovations” by the food industry including sugary cereal-inspired bacon and a coffee creamer that serves up a side of diabetes with every sip. All is not lost, however, as my son found a chip — or shall I say crisp company that has one product doesn't use seed oils… what?!! Yep. (The only one here I found with ingredients that don't make me snarl is the Classic Original; the rest have questionable stuff so buyer as always must check the ingredients!)Finally, Topic #4 deals with a new CGM (continuous glucose monitor) on the market that is ground-breaking because it's the first one you can get legally if you don't have diabetes! Lingo is sold OTC. This is important because this access has been restricted: I share my story of importing a CGM from Canada to know my numbers because I was peeved that I was unable to buy one in the good ole USofA. If you're wondering to which numbers I'm referring, it's blood glucose (aka blood sugar) levels. Knowing these numbers is important for a few reasons: 1) people with impaired metabolic function will show higher than healthy glucose numbers indicating a problem well before a pre-diabetes diagnosis; 2) every person is different with respect to his response to a given food; and 3) and most importantly, you can REVERSE diabetes and blood sugar issues but you must be aware that there's an issue to do so. Since Type 2 Diabetes — a serious disease sickening every cell in the body, affects 50+% of the population (note I'm including “pre-diabetes”), it's a critically important issue.I learned about Lingo when a sales rep contacted me to offer me a free trial. I eagerly accepted and like any good wife, volunteered my husband as the guinea pig. I was easily able to analyze his data through their Bluetooth enabled app and he received important feedback on how different foods affected his glucose levels in real time. Fun times with your health coach wife, right?!!FINE READ-I'm absolutely loving The Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown. While breathing is an autonomic process — involuntary, that doesn't mean we have it mastered. One of my brothers is a dentist and he sees rampant and serious metabolic outcome evidence of poor breathing on a daily basis. This book shows you simple techniques to assess and improve your breathing, which as you may have guessed, can be influenced by your lifestyle factors.FINE RECIPE-Here's a super simple, refreshing summer salad with an Asian flair:* Use a veggie peeler to peel a cucumber, preferably organic.* Cut into fourths length-wise.* Chop into small pieces.* Place in a pretty bowl and toss with sesame oil and salt to taste. You can also add some soy sauce — just make sure it's traditionally fermented.* Enjoy.If you haven't yet bought the book, consider doing so on Amazon or my own website for complimentary shipping of a signed copy.

Welcome to the weMove podcast.In this episode, we return to the world of the nervous system, this time through the lens of breathwork. Our guest is Jamie Clements, founder of The Breath Space and host of the Human Nature Podcast. We dive into Jamie's backstory and how it shaped the work he does today.Breathwork has been a core focus for weMove since the early days, through conversations with pioneers like Patrick McKeown, Brian Mackenzie, Wim Hof, Dan Brulé, and others. While it's often presented as a cure-all for traumas, ailments, and more, it's also a tool that requires respect. Breathwork has immense potential to both enhance well-being and, if misused, unlock unintended consequences.Jamie's perspective on this stood out to me. He brings a balanced, thoughtful approach, recognizing breathwork's power while advocating for its responsible use. As part of a younger generation exploring and guiding these practices, Jamie's work offers valuable insights for anyone curious about this space.Jamie also collaborates with James Dowler (featured in a recent episode), so if you're interested in going deeper into breathwork or nervous system work, there's a connection worth exploring.Big thanks to Jamie for sharing his time and insights.From Chris and me, Peace.https://www.instagram.com/jamieclements_/?hl=enhttps://thebreathspace.co.uk/Human Nature podcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/2a0QLnrjsJ8CrN5D36w9Ob?si=b41195a28a544ea6 https://www.instagram.com/human.nature.pod/?hl=en

After working with property management business owners for over a decade, I've realized that the problems they are experiencing tend to be deeper than issues in the business… In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, property management growth expert Jason Hull sits down with Sam Womack to discuss entrepreneurship, health, and how the two intertwine. You'll Learn [01:57] How stress affects your health [13:48] The impact of oxygen and proper relaxation [17:40] The importance of being able to calm your nervous system [26:10] More health expert insights   Tweetables “Everybody's doing the best they can with their current limited access to knowledge and resources.” “Don't beat yourself up for when you feel stressed out. Just make sure that before you continue that stress rollercoaster, like find some space to find some peace.” “You don't have to like beat all your competitors in a lot of instances, you just need to outlive them. You just need to outlast them.” “High performance isn't just how hard you push. It's about how well you recover and regulate.” Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive TalkRoute Referral Link Transcript [00:00:00] Sam: If you don't find time to balance your nervous system or don't work on implementing tools to balance your nervous system, then you are limiting yourself to lower performance in the short term and decreasing performance in the long term.  [00:00:15] Jason: Welcome DoorGrow property managers to the Property Management Growth Show. If you are a property management entrepreneur that wants to add doors, make a difference, increase revenue, help others, impact lives, and you're interested in growing in business and life, and you're open to doing things a bit differently, then you are a DoorGrow property manager. [00:00:37] Jason: So DoorGrow property managers love the opportunities, daily variety, unique challenges, and freedom that property management brings. Many in real estate think you're crazy for doing it. You think they're crazy for not because you realize that property management is the ultimate high trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. I'm your host, property management growth expert, Jason Hull, the founder and CEO of DoorGrow. [00:01:21] Jason: Now let's get into the show. Cool.  [00:01:24] Jason: And I'm hanging out here with sam Womack. Sam, welcome to the show.  [00:01:29] Sam: Thanks for having me on. I'm excited to be here.  [00:01:31] Jason: Cool. So Sam we met at a local mastermind here in the Austin area, which is really cool. And for those that know that I run a mastermind for property managers, I also eat my own dog food and believe in getting coaching and learning and growth and everything else. [00:01:52] Jason: And wanted to connect with some people locally and make some friends as well. So, Sam's one of those friends. So, Sam, welcome to the show. And why don't you give people a little bit of background on yourself and what you do and how you kind of. Got into running businesses and doing cool stuff. [00:02:10] Sam: Yeah, no, thank you. First off, I don't do anything near as difficult as you guys. Managing property and tenants, I think is a feat to be held. And so props to all you guys out there crushing it in real estate. I cut my teeth in entrepreneurship starting at a young age. I was charging like 30 bucks an hour to teach old people how to use their computers, you know, tell their life story. [00:02:29] Sam: They'd pay me 30 bucks an hour while they sat there and henpecked. It was pretty ingenious. Fast forward into later on in life when the pandemic hit the business that I was launching just disappeared overnight. The retail died, everything that I've been working on, all the investors pulled out. [00:02:44] Sam: I was left with a few grand in my name and a baby on the way, living in a studio apartment with my wife. Had to figure something out, went into supply distribution, and a couple years later, fast forward, I did about 20 million in revenue as a solopreneur distributing gloves, masks, COVID test kits, etc. [00:03:01] Sam: But throughout that time, I dealt with like a really serious health issue. Stress had kind of overwhelmed me and I ended up with an autoimmune condition in my brain and through the journey of healing that autoimmune condition that was presenting as like early onset Alzheimer's, it was kind of a mystery. [00:03:16] Sam: They didn't know what was happening. I developed a deep passion for finding the root of health and the root of optimization and root of performance. A lot of that came through working with my mom, who's a preeminent physician focusing on anti aging and regenerative science here in Austin. [00:03:31] Sam: And so I typed her handwritten notes for a couple years and followed the patient journeys of the elite because she has a concierge practice for the elite here in Austin. And as I saw what drove change in their lives, I learned a lot about the human psyche and I learned a lot about how each of our individual unique biologies are very different when it comes to what we choose to do to find optimization or find optimal health. And so now I have a passion for bringing that to the masses. And as the pandemic waned, and as I healed, I became passionate about different physics based modalities and the different systems in the body and how to reach optimal performance. [00:04:07] Sam: And now I have a wellness center here in Austin that focuses on performance optimization, as well as maximizing human potential and transitioning the human experience as well as a research Institute called Human Beaming Research Institute, where we present the stories of the truth about health and where we help bring true health science to light so that people understand what's actually true, not truth that's manufactured by special interests, but truth that's founded in science. [00:04:36] Jason: Got it. Yeah. I mean, there's kind of a battle right now, right? We're like seeing it all play out live real time. Oh yeah. Got this whole make America healthy movement. We've got RFK, Bobby like and it seems like there's some major disruptions that are kind of happening right now and there's a battle and we're waking up. [00:04:58] Jason: A lot of people are waking up that hey, you know, big food, big pharma, you know, big government are not in favor of us being healthy for some reason, which is kind of scary. So yes, yeah kind of waking up to this and I don't know, maybe we're all biohackers now. I don't know.  [00:05:17] Sam: Yeah. No, I you're absolutely right I think that humanity as a whole is kind of done drinking the Kool Aid when it comes to what we've been told is the truth. [00:05:27] Sam: And, you know — [00:05:29] Jason: Yeah. Cause the Kool Aid has like glyphosate in it and like, also like molds and mycotoxins, like it's got bad stuff all over it. And I'm not saying actual Kool Aid. This is metaphorical people. Metaphorically.  [00:05:42] Sam: Yes. And when you look at like where, you know, just briefly to when you follow the money and you see that, like, from a business standpoint, one of the largest mergers and acquisitions in history, if you bring it to current dollar value was when big tobacco bought the food industry and you look at when that transition happened and you see what happened to our food supply and you know, we're fish in a barrel that they're just taking their pick of right now when it comes to what we have that's societally acceptable to put in our bodies and societally acceptable to engage in, in terms of social interaction, et cetera. [00:06:15] Sam: And it, yeah. Kind of funnels us down this path of high stress, which kind of takes us to today's topic with the nervous system. But yeah, I don't don't know if you have anything else you want to discuss before we dive in.  [00:06:25] Jason: Well, I want to point out. So Sam really sharp guy, as you can tell already, Sam's going to be a speaker at our DoorGrow Live conference. [00:06:35] Jason: And he's going to talk about some really cool stuff that we're very holistic at DoorGrow. And so I know that in coaching entrepreneurs and having talked to thousands of property management business owners and coaching hundreds of clients that it's never really the business or that they're spending too little time in their business that's keeping them from succeeding in business. It's everything else, especially health, especially their relationships, especially their marriage. Like these things create a lot of friction for entrepreneurs And they've got a lot going on. You're not really talking about property management when you come to DoorGrow Live, but I do believe it will be a game changer for them to be able to perform more, be able to get more out of their business, be able to get more out of life, which is the goal of having a business, right? [00:07:20] Jason: That's more freedom and more fulfillment. So, yeah. So if you have not yet gone to doorgrowlive.Com and gotten your tickets. Go do that right now. Go get your tickets and make sure you're at that event. Come hang out with us in North Austin at round rock at the Kalahari resort. It's going to be awesome. [00:07:36] Jason: All right. Shameless plug completed. Now, Sam, let's get into talking about the topic at hand.  [00:07:43] Sam: Yeah, I know. And thank you. And I'm really excited to get on stage and speak and I'm going to save some nuggets for the stage. Won't give it all the way here. So I'm really excited about that and helping you guys understand what the true root of your full potential actually is and not from some woo woo space, but actually understanding like the fundamental simple science beneath high performance and beneath fulfillment in life because it really does break down to a very simple equation. One of the key factors is a molecule, and that molecule is actually oxygen. [00:08:13] Sam: And when your brain is in a high stress state you would think that your body would give it more oxygen under high stress, right? But under high stress, you actually have vasoconstriction. Your blood pressure rises, blood gets pumped to your extremities, you got to get away from that proverbial bear, right? [00:08:29] Sam: But for y'all, that bear is the constant wave of tenant complaints, the constant wave of, you know, economic factors interest rate shifting stuff like that And so you have this like constant bear chasing you and if you're always in that state of fight or flight your brain is patterned to operate on survival mechanisms and a lower amount of oxygen and so And then we get this like male, sometimes male and female, but we get this, like this almost masculine energy of like, let's go conquer and do this high stress, high action push, push, push coffee, stimulant. [00:09:03] Sam: And we're really performing with our hands tied behind our back at that point, because our brain has less oxygen in it. And when you look at the other side of the nervous system, which is our parasympathetic nervous system you have this increase of oxygen in the brain. which actually raises serotonin instead of relying on that dopamine cortisol roller coaster, right? [00:09:24] Sam: And so, at the base of this is oxygen, which is bringing us life, which is creating ATP, cellular energy. And, to put it simply, If you don't find time to balance your nervous system or don't work on implementing tools to balance your nervous system, then you are limiting yourself to lower performance in the short term and decreasing performance in the long term. [00:09:48] Sam: Higher relying on stimulants, higher amounts of of just stress and cortisol and dopamine reliance in the long term, which takes away from your ability to connect with others, to find community, to find that real fulfillment that comes in life.  [00:10:02] Jason: And so what you're saying is we shouldn't just overdose on coffee that here in the U. S. probably has mold in it and makes you not feel good and have to pee way too much. And then not, you know, take care of ourselves in breathing effectively and getting too little sleep, too much hustle, too much stress.  [00:10:23] Sam: Yeah.  [00:10:24] Jason: Okay.  [00:10:24] Sam: Yeah, we can get addicted to that pattern because stress actually can feel really good. [00:10:30] Sam: When you have dopamine augmenting that cortisol, right? Without dopamine, cortisol feels really crappy. You know, you look at high anxiety. You look at that restlessness feeling where you don't feel good. You're on edge. That's when your cortisol's high and your dopamine is kind of low because you've been exhausting the dopamine stores by just pushing it. [00:10:50] Sam: Dopamine is supposed to be a short term reward to get us out of the stress back into a parasympathetic state. Dopamine was never meant to be the consistent ongoing reward. Because, like, think about it for survival, right? If you're, you know, trying to get away from the bear, and you're running, that needs to somewhat feel good, in order to get you through that stress. [00:11:11] Sam: So dopamine kicks in when oxygen lowers in the brain. And then, when you get out of the stress, you find that parasympathetic state again, you calm down, oxygen rises in the brain, serotonin rises, which is that more deeper, long term fulfilling chemical, that actually leads to creativity as well. But our society tells us that love is dopamine. It tells us that success is dopamine. It tells us achievement is dopamine. It gives us these dopamine triggers for all of the cultural hierarchy and the cultural validation, that external validation when you do something to succeed and you show it off, that's a dopamine trigger. Social media is a trigger. So all of these things, society is structured in a way that says, "dopamine's the reward. Now go buy shit, right?" Like almost all the financial economy is driven surrounding dopamine, which is a ultimate losing game because you guys all know that it doesn't really provide that end fulfillment, but since it feels good, we're kind of stuck in that loop. And so. What I want to help illuminate is where true fulfillment can be found and help with some kind of practical tools and a practical understanding of this foundational science so that when you're looking to perform at your best, you can give yourself a break and allow yourself to relax. [00:12:22] Sam: You know, before you have that next cup of coffee to keep yourself going, take some deep breaths, find some space to relax. Don't worry that your brain doesn't feel a hundred percent on. And give yourself some space to allow that peace in knowing that you're raising oxygen in the brain. You're opening oxygenation to areas that are going to drive creativity, that are going to allow for connection, that are going to allow for more presence in your body. [00:12:44] Sam: You'll be a different person in the home. You'll be a different person towards yourself. And so these are critical components of understanding the power of the nervous system when it relates to performance. Because high performance isn't just how hard you push. It's about how well you recover and regulate, and it's about how you create that balance that pushes for longevity and pushes for long term endurance and strength. [00:13:09] Sam: Because if you want to succeed and grow your business 5x, 10x, 100x, you need endurance. Sympathetic, nervous system tone, high stress does not create endurance. It's short term bursts, you crash out or you keep hitting the stimulants. And it keeps you in this narrow window of potential. You find that parasympathetic, you find that relaxation, you get creativity going in your brain, you get higher oxygenation in your brain, you're shifting gene expression towards longevity. [00:13:33] Sam: So it's a pretty powerful tool. And most people think, "oh, I don't want to meditate, you know, or I don't want to relax", or they don't feel safe when they're calm. And it's something to just work on shifting your perspective on because there's true power in that state of peace.  [00:13:48] Jason: A while back, I read this book. [00:13:50] Jason: I don't know if you heard of this. It's called the Oxygen Advantage. It's by a guy named Patrick Mckeown and it's got a forward by Dr. Joseph Mercola, but it's interesting because basically the book is about how he trains athletes to breathe through their nose while working out instead of their mouth, which like exercises the lungs and increases lung capacity. [00:14:15] Jason: But if they're, if we're constantly operating with our mouth open and working with our mouth open, we actually decrease our lung capacity. And so, athletes are just burning out really quickly and they don't have the ability or the capacity to, you know, absorb as much oxygen. So like working out those muscles, like breathing through your nose, you know, is something that talks about, but that's interesting that when we're not calm, we're not getting enough oxygen that we're not recovering, we're not regulating our stress, our body probably starts to eat itself a little bit and, you know, and then we get addicted to dopamine and you know, in business, most businesses fail and really you don't have to like beat all your competitors in a lot of instances, you just need to outlive them. You just need to outlast them. And that, that endurance aspect. And so I think, you know, I think we're going to go through some financial turmoil in the marketplace. Things are probably going to get worse before it gets better as we're cleaning up all this mess financially that is going on in the government. [00:15:18] Jason: And the U S dollar is like, I think it's been going down from its original value down and down as they've been stripping value out of it through inflation and giving that money to who knows who. And so. I think there's going to be a big transition. It's going to get really stressful. [00:15:33] Jason: And I think the businesses that are just able to last through this transition and endure and they're focused on the long game are the ones that are going to win.  [00:15:43] Sam: Absolutely.  [00:15:44] Jason: And there's going to be a lot just eaten up.  [00:15:46] Sam: Yeah. And if you don't allow that perspective of what you just explained about business to apply to your own self and your health, you know, what got you here won't get you there. [00:15:54] Sam: And if you want to sustain and succeed through the turmoil, then you need to adapt. And when you have a high stress state, you actually lose BDNF expression in the brain brain neurotropic factor and brain derived neurotropic factor. And that is our adaptability aspect and factor in our brain. And it literally decreases its efficiency, the higher, the more chronically stressed we are. [00:16:18] Sam: And so it's super important. You guys can look up BDNF and understand its role with oxygenation in the brain. And so fundamentally, you know, the more oxygenated your brain is, the greater your access to intuition, memory, and high level thinking. And those are key components to succeeding in business. [00:16:33] Sam: And when you are in a state of constant survival mode, constant reactivity, constant push, hustle, you lose that space to develop creative longterm solutions. You lose that space to be able to get that spark of inspiration on how to pivot around the corner and see around that corner or do something a little differently than what other people are doing. [00:16:55] Sam: And that's why even you look at like Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, like they would love to access that like state estate, the theta state just akin to sleep. They would put like a lead ball in their hand over a metal plate. And then as they were falling asleep. It would drop and the ball would hit the metal plate wake them up and they'd have their pen and their quill and ink on the table with a candle and then they'd have their formula or problems they were trying to solve and then they'd go to solving it because that was deep parasympathetic state where that creativity was opened up brain oxygenation was opened up. And me, just like so many of y'all out there, like, I'm like, man, I do not like meditating, I do not like calming down, like slowing down.  [00:17:31] Jason: I mean, especially if we're addicted to dopamine and adrenaline, like slowing down feels like a waste of time.  [00:17:39] Sam: Oh yeah, it does. And so you, most of you have heard of dopamine, serotonin, and adrenaline slash norepinephrine, right? That's only 20 percent of our neurotransmitters. [00:17:51] Sam: Okay. What's the other 80 percent glutamate and GABA, right? Glutamate is the exitory neurotransmitter. So that's what animates our body. Think glutamate animate, but then GABA is what balances that. So GABA helps slow things down, shut things down. And it's kind of interesting that popular culture slash society, like you don't hear much about GABA. [00:18:13] Sam: And the reason why is because they're selling us GABA in the form of alcohol. Alcohol is a huge GABA receptor connector, so it just hits the GABA and you feel kind of calm and relaxed. And so people love alcohol to be social because you want to be in a slight more parasympathetic state to be social, right? [00:18:30] Sam: Because high stress doesn't lead to—  [00:18:32] Jason: What about scrolling on social media?  [00:18:33] Sam: Social media is going to be hitting dopamine, not so much the GABA. But scrolling social media is going to be giving dopamine, new information. Ooh, new information. I learned something new, like boom, like that constant external input stimulus. [00:18:45] Sam: But when you look at the importance of GABA and you understand that a lot of us aren't making it on our own, which is why we're staying in such a high stress state all day. Yeah. And then we take a GABAergic, like GABA or a benzo or some weed or something that, that can hit that, that GABA receptor instead of making our own endogenous GABA. [00:19:02] Sam: And that's what happens when you're in a parasympathetic state is your body is creating its own GABA to balance out the brain. And that's what drove me to developing a suite of tools called Peace on Demand that I have at my wellness center that are physics based modalities that drop you into that parasympathetic state without sitting there fighting against your brain and trying to force yourself to meditate. [00:19:21] Sam: And then also with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, that's another tool that induces a parasympathetic state over the course of the treatment. And so I found tools because my brain, I had a hard time controlling with the autoimmune disease that I had and how stressed and on fire my brain was, I had a lot of difficulty finding that space, but without those tools, you can still utilize things like breath work, even if it's just longer exhale than the time you're inhaling or like four seconds in, you know, hold for a little bit and then eight seconds out or seven seconds out. [00:19:48] Sam: That, that's just like the simplest form of breath work to kind of activate the vagus nerve and slow down that that nervous system and get you into a more parasympathetic state but it's really interesting when you see that some of the most creative people and the most successful people, they're not super high strung. At a certain point, you'll see a lot of successful people that are high strung. Push, push hustle. [00:20:10] Sam: But then you go to that next level. You look at like the Elon's of the world, or, you know, so these people are on that next level. You watch them speak. They're calm. They have this, you know, they go hype on at times to like reach certain goal. But then they also have that balance. So the key is balance. [00:20:26] Sam: Don't beat yourself up for when you feel stressed out. Just make sure that before you continue that stress rollercoaster, like find some space to find some peace, do some breathing, take a pause, give yourself that chance to take a break. That'll start developing some resiliency in your nervous system so that you don't burn out. [00:20:42] Jason: Yeah, it does seem like really high performers are highly adaptable to, you know, situations. So they move and adapt quickly. It seems like they are able to maintain some calm, but they also are really quick thinkers, like their thinking seems to be faster than normal. I notice for me, I get really frustrated with team members when they're not— [00:21:05] Jason: I'm like, "come on, this is super quick. Like, look how fast I can do this." And I'm like, "keep up." And so that becomes a little bit of a frustration. I'm like, why is everybody slow? I saw this really interesting thing. My son sent me this and he's really into football. And I guess there's some quarterbacks that are now training with VR. [00:21:23] Jason: Playing the game in VR and but they're doing it at 1. 5 speed. And so they're getting used to everything being fast and they've adapted to that. So then when they go and play, it feels like everything's in slow motion. And I was like, wait a sec. I listen to telegram messages at two speed. I listened to audio books at two, between 1.8 to two speed. Like, so my brain is probably more adapted to speed.  [00:21:49] Sam: Yes.  [00:21:50] Jason: And and so I'm able to process, I was just hanging out with somebody who has a lot more money than me, who runs, who's the CEO of Real, Sharran Srivatsaa. And he talks really fast and he thinks really fast. Like this guy is sharp. [00:22:03] Jason: And I'm like, how does he move so fast? You know? But also and he doesn't seem like stressed out or anything. One of the things I've noticed, maybe like sparks this GABA sort of thing is just for me, reading? Just reading, actually reading not like high speed audiobooks, but sitting down with a book and processing information, my body's in a calm state. I feel a really deep calm where I'm in a flow sort of state reading and absorbing and processing information. So I found that can be a really good tool for me. [00:22:34] Jason: Sarah and I go do your peace on demand thing, which is just awesome. And a game changer. It's really been helpful for Sarah. It's kind of, I compare it to doing a float session, having a really good float session which doesn't happen every time you do a float session, but it happens every time you do Peace on Demand and you don't have to get wet and naked, and nothing gets in your eyes or ears on accident sometimes and stings. [00:22:54] Jason: So that's nice. The other thing I've noticed is just walking. So I went and did EMDR therapy for a while, for like a year with a therapist, bilateral stimulation, both sides of the brain is the concept. And then I noticed like, well, walking is bilateral stimulation. And so that's like a free, very cheap version of EMDR therapy is just to go on walks. [00:23:14] Jason: And rather than running, which is like, Hey, stress response. I found walking is very calming, especially if I'm really stressed. If I go for a walk, it kind of signals to my body, "Hey, you're okay. You're not being chased by a saber tooth tiger right now." So your fight or flight, calm down. So those are the things that work for me. [00:23:32] Jason: I don't know, but those are great tools. I don't know.  [00:23:35] Sam: Yeah. So what those are doing are like, you mentioned a keyword there and that's safe, right? And so you're creating these environments. One, you're reading a book, gaining new knowledge, and you're not cramming the book in a stressed out state to try to memorize it for a test, right? Which so much of us get programmed in school at an early age, that like reading means like, focus hard and stress out over what you're reading. [00:23:56] Sam: But if you allow yourself to relax into that flow state, and you mentioned flow state as well, flow doesn't happen when you're in super high stress state. Some people We'll try to say, "Oh yeah, I'm in flow" because they've got like dopamine coursing and cortisol coursing and  [00:24:10] Jason: they're like manic and going crazy.  [00:24:12] Sam: Yeah, exactly. [00:24:13] Jason: They're busy, but they're not productive.  [00:24:15] Sam: Yeah. And when you get productive and when you feel like you're going fast and your team isn't responding fast enough, like you have that adaptability, you have that BDNF that's really efficient in your brain because you practice going in and out of these states and you spend a lot of time in this flow and in this GABA balanced state Where you're not hyper stressed out and one one thing that also on a biochemistry level explains some of this is: in a sympathetic nervous system response, your body is trying to find as much glucose as possible to burn glucose for fast quick energy, which creates oxidative stress on the body, which creates inflammation. And then your body has to like go clear out all the junk but it doesn't care that it's creating a bunch of junk to clear out, because it's trying to help you survive short term. [00:24:59] Sam: When you're in a parasympathetic state, you're looking at a—  [00:25:02] Jason: Does it make you crave sugar then?  [00:25:03] Sam: Yeah, so high stress makes you crave sugar. Whereas parasympathetic state, you're on a more fat burning metabolism. You're not creating as much oxidative stress. You're like expressing longevity genes. You're expressing anti inflammatory genes. [00:25:16] Sam: Your body literally shifts into almost a different state, not just mentally, but biophysically and biochemistry wise all throughout your body. You adapt based on the nervous system state that you allow. And that's where it does come down to personal responsibility to make the choice to start practicing finding this state that will empower so much more potential for your life than that narrow band of, you know, survival programming and high stress thinking. [00:25:46] Sam: And then it's better for your health longterm too, because you're not just compounding oxidative stress nonstop and then needing those negative inflammatory inputs to make your dopamine stay high. And you can just find that peace. And then you'll find a much higher level of performance and that flow state will start just happening naturally constantly, which is what's been happening for Jason as he's been practicing these things as well. [00:26:08] Jason: Got it. Okay. Very cool. So little teaser, what are you going to talk about a little bit at DoorGrow Live that will be revelatory or helpful for people that might be a little bit stressed in their business or are wanting to take their performance to the next level? And I just, I want to point out, the difference I've noticed just in clients doing time studies and things like this. [00:26:32] Jason: Some of my clients will, we can see in their time study that they, it takes them in the latter half of the day, like the afternoon, an hour to do stuff that takes them 10 minutes in the morning. They're just, they're running out of brain chemicals. They're running out of like, what are neurotransmitter chemicals that they produce while sleeping? [00:26:51] Jason: They're now no longer productive and efficient, even though they're working really hard and they're really busy. And so, so yeah, maybe you could tease a little bit. What could we talk about there that might optimize their productivity so that they could actually feel superhuman and get two to three times the amount of output with the same amount of work or stress or effort? [00:27:14] Sam: Yeah, so we're going to go into a little bit more detail on some other aspects of the foundations of performance. So today we focused on nervous system, which is key. But. Controlling our nervous system isn't just as easy as thinking about it. There's some environmental factors. There's some lifestyle choices we can make. Often, we have a really hard time making those changes due to the, those well worn grooves, like, you know, skis on a slope that are really hard to get out of. And so I'm going to help with some simple truths that you'll understand and make it a lot easier to start making small shifts that will create massive change and that don't have to be stressful or induce anxiety or feel hard. It'll actually feel easy. So I'm going to help you understand some fundamental truths about your biology and That will unlock unlimited potential.  [00:28:03] Jason: Yeah, because I think every entrepreneur listening, myself included, I'm sure you as well, have been in those time periods where you feel like you're working so hard and you're investing so much time and energy, and you're going nowhere like it feels like you're just treading water and you're burning yourself out and you're like, "why am I not adding hundreds of doors? Why am I not growing my business? Why am I not getting ahead? Why am I seeing idiots get further along than me?" You know, like, " why is this not working for me?" And and I think that all plays into that like that. Everything you're talking about plays into that.  [00:28:41] Sam: You'll find yourself having permission to make some changes and the permission is a key aspect of that courage and that bravery to choose something different to focus on something different. [00:28:56] Sam: I mean, we all hear where you, where your attention goes, your focus grows, you know, and what you focus on is what you create, you know, all these things. What does that fundamentally and literally mean when it comes to the way we choose our life experience? And what can we create when our choices change and how can we be empowered to make those choices? [00:29:16] Sam: Those are some of the more intricate topics that we'll discuss.  [00:29:19] Jason: Got it. Almost like shifting from feeling like, "Hey, I'm giving up something or sacrificing in some way that in actuality, you're getting more."  [00:29:30] Sam: Oh, so much more. Exactly. So much more. Yeah. Cool.  [00:29:34] Jason: So. Those of you listening, I'm guessing you're growth oriented, growth minded. [00:29:39] Jason: You want to get more. Come to DoorGrow Live. Come hear Sam talk.

And I think the steps that you're taking to help empower people beyond just showing them tactics and strategies, but helping them live a more fulfilled and empowered life. [00:30:50] Sam: That's what it's all about. So thank you for that work you're doing.  [00:30:53] Jason: Yeah, absolutely. We've just noticed like we can give them all the right tactics and strategies, but if they don't incorporate the other things, it's kind of like you're trying to run a race up the mountain with rocks in your backpack, like boulders, you know, it's just, it's so much more efficient if we get everything else in alignment and usually it's never the business piece that's really what's holding them back. It's not the tactics it's mindset. It's their mental health. It's like everything else, their family. Yeah. So we're excited to bring you and some others that are going to just unlock a lot of things for our clients and for non clients that are coming to DoorGrow Live. [00:31:32] Jason: So appreciate you.  [00:31:34] Sam: Yeah, you bet. Thank you. And just one last thing is you guys are all doing such a great job too. Like, don't think of this as any type of a criticism or, "Oh, you're not doing good enough." Like you're doing such an excellent job with the tools that you were programmed with the upbringings you had with the environment you're in. [00:31:48] Sam: So like, just look at it as a chance to learn something new and be empowered by it. But you guys are all doing such a great job. And so keep it up.  [00:31:56] Jason: Yeah, everybody's doing the best they can with their current limited access to knowledge and resources that they put out. Whatever. All right, cool. Awesome, Sam. I'll let you go. All right.

This episode could change your life - I don't think I've ever said that about one of our episodes before! What if knowing a little more about your child's face (or even your own) could change how you approach all the challenges you or your child may be having from snoring or sleep apnea to ADHD? And it all starts BEFORE your baby is born! Shirley Gutkowski is a grandma of three, mom of five and wife of going on 50 years! She has all her own hair, stopped coloring it a year ago and is the owner of Primal Air a company that helps people get their face to work right. She is also the author of the first pre parenting book focused on development of the face. More Than a Kissing Spot: Your New Baby's Face is a simple and deep dive into all the things people need to know about the mouth and tongue before they are exhausted parents. www.primalair.com/kissing-spot Biologists say that human babies are born about seven months ear­ly as compared to other mammals. Human babies are born ear­lier because of their head size; they'd never make it out at all if they lived in the womb for 16 months. Because of this early exit babies are extremely defenseless. All they have is their cuteness and crying to do everything necessary to get their needs met. It's up to the “hard wiring” of maternal instinct to take over for the rest, including making sure the baby is breathing through their nose. Shirley's book, More than a Kissing Spot: Your New Baby's Face is the most important child development book written to date. Written for soon to be parents, it takes the mystery out of one of the most unusual organs in body, the tongue. The tongue is the most important driver of facial development, and rarely mentioned in discussions of the face.

You may feel that you get more oxygen when you breathe in through your mouth, but the science shows, it's just not true.    In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Patrick McKeown from Oxygen Advantage, to discuss the fascinating connections between nose breathing, facial aesthetics, and overall health. We begin by discussing how choosing a good-looking face is related to proper breathing and delve into the problems associated with mouth breathing. Our conversation goes over the high-level functions of the nose and the importance of conscious deep breathing, including when and why to do it.   We introduce the concept of hyperoxygenation and the BOLT (body oxygen level test) and explore various ways to improve oxygen saturation. We also discuss the consequences of not breathing properly and what you might be missing out on.   Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of proper breathing techniques and their impact on various aspects of our lives, from physical health and appearance to mental well-being and success. Patrick McKeown grew up with debilitating asthma. In 1998, he found an article in an Irish newspaper about the Buteyko breathing method. He tried the exercise to unblock his nose and was struck by how well it worked. Since then, he has become a leading expert on breathing and an advocate for its health benefits.   What we discuss… 4:00 Choosing a good looking face due to breathing 9:00 The problem of mouth breathing  13:06 High level functions of the nose  25:30 Conscious deep breathing- when and why to do it 32:40 Hyperoxygenation and the BOLT (body oxygen level test)  37:37 Ways to improve oxygen saturation  47:55 What you're missing by not breathing properly  57:47 How we got to a place of high toxins, but we still give in 1:07:10 Our education system is flawed 1:10:30 Patrick's biggest vision 1:14:10 Where to find more from Oxygen Advantage    …and more!   Don't forget:   You can order now by heading to darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book or order now on Amazon.   Thank you to our sponsors: Bite Toothpaste: Go to www.trybite.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 20% off Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

The ability to adapt enhances your capacity to cope with change, regardless of its severity. Being adaptable helps you come up with diverse solutions to problems. It's also about having the willingness to go the extra mile. Going the extra mile is not just about feeling better about yourself. It is true that the more we are engaged in activities that enable us to put in our best effort, the better we feel about ourselves. But more than the positive self-image it brings, making a special effort to do and achieve something acts as a positive influence on other people.

Can simply learning to breathing correctly really improve our health, weight management, mental state and athletic prowess? According to Patrick McKeown, it's a massive YES. And given the evidence, I'm convinced it's a practice we can't afford to ignore. In this ep I've invited back the much loved and world recognised breathing expert Patrick McKeown to discuss the significance of correct breathing techniques in various aspects of health and athletic performance. I spoke to Patrick twice back in 2021, but 2.5 years later here I am blown away by some recent results I've experienced in relation to my own training and athletic performance in relation to nasal breathing. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of breathing on mental health and physical well-being. McKeown highlights the importance of diaphragmatic strength not just in physical activities but also in mental resilience, especially in competitive environments like boxing. They further discuss the role of proper breathing in managing weight, sleep apnea, and overall health. This podcast cuts through some of the breathing misinformation out there and offers an informed and insightful exploration of the impact of breathing techniques on physical performance, mental health, and general well-being. For a resource that's free, something we do every moment of our lives, and that has such significant impact on so many facets of life, can we afford to stay ignorant?   SPONSORED BY TESTART FAMILY LAWYERS Website: testartfamilylawyers.com.au PATRICK MCKEOWN Website: oxygenadvantage.com TIFFANEE COOK Linktree: linktr.ee/rollwiththepunches Website: rollwiththepunches.com.au LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tiffaneecook/ Facebook: facebook.com/rollwiththepunchespodcast/ Instagram: instagram.com/rollwiththepunches_podcast/ Instagram: instagram.com/tiffaneeandcoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The book also delves into the science behind proper breathing and how it impacts various bodily functions, including cardiovascular health, metabolism, concentration, and sleep quality.Overall, The Oxygen Advantage aims to empower readers to take control of their breathing and use it as a tool to enhance their overall well-being, physical fitness, and mental clarity.Chapter 2 Is The Oxygen Advantage Book A Good BookThe Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown is generally considered to be a good book for those interested in improving their breathing and overall health.

McKeown explains the importance of optimal oxygen levels in the body and how proper breathing can enhance physical performance, improve sleep, reduce stress, and even enhance mental clarity.The book starts by emphasizing the detrimental effects of chronic overbreathing, which is an all-too-common habit in today's society. McKeown highlights the fact that overbreathing leads to a lack of carbon dioxide in the body, which in turn reduces the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to the muscles and organs. This can lead to a myriad of health issues, such as fatigue, poor sleep, anxiety, and even chronic diseases.McKeown then introduces the concept of nasal breathing, which he argues is the ideal way to breathe for optimal health. He explains how nasal breathing filters, warms, and humidifies the air, while also activating the diaphragm and increasing the production of nitric oxide – a molecule that improves blood flow and oxygen delivery. The author provides various exercises and techniques to help readers transition from mouth breathing to nasal breathing throughout the day.The book also addresses the importance of breath hold training, which involves temporary breath retention after an exhalation.

Now, as much as I love sharing only what I've personally tried and tested, let's give credit to my husband for this one. His venture into mouth taping gave me a first-hand account of how it can decrease snoring and improve energy throughout the day. So, here's the big question: Does science back this up? Should we all be taping our mouth shut at night? Well, if you've been feeling out of breath, snore like a lumberjack, and feel tired even after multiple cups of coffee - you might want to consider it. Of course, this isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Talk to your doctor first - but if you're looking for a non-invasive approach to optimize your breathing and overall well-being, mouth taping might just be the thing.

When I was younger, I used to be more impulsive, but with age, I've learned to pause. Now, instead of feeling the need to respond immediately, I can remove myself from the situation and give it some time. It's not about answering right away; it's about taking a step back and coming to a decision later, maybe even a few hours or a day after. I think it's all a part of the journey of mastering my emotions, and I believe that this process continues as I become more mature. Thoughts on Breathing I learned about the Buteyko breathing method from an expert in Ireland named Patrick McKeown, who learned it directly from Dr. Constantine Buteyko, who, I think, was Ukrainian or Russian. Dr. Buteyko noticed that people who were very sick tended to breathe very shallowly, and this observation led to the development of the Buteyko method. In our modern world, many of us tend to over-breathe or hyperventilate, taking in more air than we need. The Buteyko method is all about training your body to breathe less air and slowing down your breath. It should be so subtle that it's almost imperceptible. This method has shown positive results, especially for people with conditions like anxiety and ADHD. Breathing through your nose and at a slower pace, around 10 to 12 breaths per minute, can have significant benefits. Over-breathing can alter the blood's pH and make it harder for oxygen to reach your cells, even if you're breathing rapidly. Breathing re-education is a bit like mindfulness or meditation – it's a subtle practice that can help you become calmer and more focused. Suggested Resources Book: Autism Well Being Plan, How to Get Your Child Healthy by Christian Yordanov Book: The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene App: n/a Bullying Story When I was nine years old, my family moved from Bulgaria to South Africa, and it was a big change for me. I couldn't speak English, so I felt different, and that made me a target for bullies at school. I learned that sometimes you have to stand up to bullies, even though I'm not proud of some of the fights I got into as a kid. But what's really interesting is that when I went back to Bulgaria six years later, I was once again the “different” one, and bullying happened again. I've been on both sides of it; I've been bullied, and I've even bullied others, although I now know it's not the right way to handle it. Now, I believe it's crucial to teach kids to stand up to bullies, but you have to be mindful about it. It's important to remember that bullies are often hurting inside. We need to approach them with empathy and not take their actions personally. By doing so, we can defuse the situation and avoid carrying the pain with us.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Ciro: Hi Dr. Cabral.Thank you for all the knowledge that you share.I have a question about weight training. I'm a 45 years old male; weight 194 lbs. and 5ft 11. I have a fairly robust looking body/torso with good muscle percentage in general, but my arms look very lean in comparison to the rest of my body. My biceps get toned fairly easily but my triceps just won't get toned. I don't take any supplements with regards to muscle gain, but I do weight training (using YBELL training or CrossFit inspired exercises) 2 times a week and soccer once a week. I go to a gym now but have the YBELL's at home as well. What would you recommend I look into? Which specific exercises do you recommend me doing so the arms will be more toned and specifically the triceps and shoulders?   Julia: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was wondering what your thoughts are on young livings Ningxia Red. They claim that “antioxidant drink is clinically shown to increase physical energy levels, improve sleep patterns, and reduce daily stress. It's packed with powerful antioxidants to help against oxidative stress, support normal cellular function, and promote healthy energy levels.” Some people I know swear by it and drink it daily and it anted to know if it's a good product. I searched the archive and couldn't find anything on it. Maybe you can do a product review? Thanks!   Natalia: Hi Stephen - I've been listening to your podcasts for a couple months now and they have helped me so much and I'm implementing things as I go. I feel fantastic so far on a 14 hour fast etc, but I would love to know how I can help my partner who has Chrons - he had the bag for a year, he had the surgery - the bag was removed - but they anticipate he will have more surgery - I would love to avoid that - his diet recommendations are so different to what I know as ‘right' for most people his diet recommended white bread, white rice, no vege skins etc. would you recommend he do a full lab test? He works hard all day - but he gets tired - I would just love to help go feel as energetic as I feel now - pls direct me to how I can help him - thanks   Samantha: Hello, I listen to the podcast all the time and it has helped me so much. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. My question is I have been told to stop taking DIM if I'm taking HRT. I only use the oestrogen gel as I have a Mirena coil fitted for progesterone. Please can you tell me if this is correct? Also please can you comment on hearing aids with blue tooth are they safe? Much appreciated. Samantha   Anonymous: Thank you for all you do! I've done a lot of work on my health (multiple DCD, CBO, HMD, take daily supplements, etc.). One thing I'm working on is getting into the parasympathetic more and lowering my slightly elevated heart rate. I've listened to podcasts on this subject and your interview with Patrick McKeown on how important breathing is. It seems every time I focus on my breath I feel more stressed. I've tried different breathing techniques, yoga and I make sure I'm not over oxygenating. It just seems to raise my heart rate and I haven't seen the relaxing benefits. Even when I try not to manipulate my breath and just move my focus to it, I feel the stress response. Any suggestions?
