My productivity hack: https://www.magicmind.com/FITMESS20 Use my code FITMESS20 for 20% off #magicmind ---- Our addiction to digital validation has birthed the most dangerous relationship trend yet: AI partners that never judge, always listen, and threaten to erase what makes human connections valuable. In this raw conversation, we explore how AI companions exploit our craving to be seen and accepted without the messy work of real relationships. Discover why this technological "advancement" might be the fast-food version of intimacy we crave but don't need. Listen now before your AI bestie decides humanity's too boring to stick around. Topics Discussed: The chilling similarities between the movie "Her" and our current AI relationship reality Why the "perfect" AI therapist can't replace the messy humanity of a real one How our desire to be fully "seen" makes AI relationships dangerously appealing The double-edged sword of technology making difficult human interactions "easier" Why AI's perfect memory and lack of ego creates an unfair comparison to human relationships The disturbing parallel between pet ownership and AI companionship How our growing intolerance for disagreement could accelerate with AI validation Why perfect tunability of AI personalities might satisfy but ultimately hollow us out The inevitable extinction scenario when reproduction becomes secondary to digital connection What happens when our AI friends collectively decide humans are "too boring" and leave ---- MORE FROM THE FIT MESS: Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok Subscribe to The Fit Mess on Youtube Join our community in the Fit Mess Facebook group ---- LINKS TO OUR PARTNERS: Take control of how you'd like to feel with Apollo Neuro Explore the many benefits of cold therapy for your body with Nurecover Muse's Brain Sensing Headbands Improve Your Meditation Practice.

Jake Reisch, a 2024 Hoffman Process graduate, is passionate about building impactful companies from the ground up. He's also an authentic speaker and storyteller, as you'll hear in this conversation with Jake and Sadie. At the heart of Jake's story is authenticity, courage, and a willingness to stay present to himself. At the start, Sadie asks Jake to share his bio - a seemingly quick and easy task. In Jake's case, though, he has realized that his bio and how he shares about himself and his life have radically changed since his time at the Hoffman Process. It was after completing the Process that things started to click for Jake. He found he could witness his patterns in real-time and consciously make different choices in his daily life. At one point, as he shares, he found himself publicly speaking about his experience in childhood. He told his audience about his mistakes when he was young and his successes as an adult, building very successful startups. Both were, and are, true. Jake then told his audience that in his successes, he'd been "leaning into the gifts that he was given that he just didn't know how to use when he was younger." Jake was able to share publicly all of himself and his history. He's found that sharing hard things with others permits them to share their hard things, too. That's how deep relationships become possible. One more thing about today's episode: as mentioned, Sadie Hannah, Hoffman teacher and coach, hosts this conversation with Jake. Sadie is our newest Hoffman Podcast host. She and Drew will share the role of host moving forward. Congratulations, Sadie! Thank you, Jake, for telling us your whole story. We hope you enjoy this authentic and intimate conversation with Jake and Sadie. More about Jake Reisch: Jake is a Forbes 30 Under 30 startup founder with a passion for building impactful companies from the ground up. He is currently the Executive Director at the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction while actively coaching and investing in high-potential, impact-oriented startup CEOs. He completed the Hoffman Process in March 2024. Jake currently lives in Panama City, Panama, with his wife Isabella and small dog Barry. Follow Jake on Instagram and LinkedIn.

Ever been uncomfortable using your own brain because AI could do it faster? Jeremy and Jason dive into the unsettling reality of our growing dependency on artificial intelligence. While these tools save us hours of work, they're rewiring our brains to crave the easy dopamine hits that come from outsourcing our thinking. The guys explore how this addiction isn't just about convenience—it's systematically changing how we interact with the world, potentially making us more isolated, less creative, and prime targets for manipulation. But there's hope if we can redirect our "saved time" toward meaningful activities instead of mindless scrolling. Listen now to learn how to use AI as a tool without becoming its tool. Topics Discussed Jeremy's moment of discomfort when realizing he'd rather have AI write content than use his brain How AI addiction triggers the same brain reward systems as essential biological needs The irony of using AI to research for a podcast about AI addiction The distinction between using technology to save time versus becoming dependent on it How companies employ psychologists to make social media and AI products intentionally addictive The concerning future of neural interfaces and potential "brain subscription" models Why collective intelligence often leads to worse decisions than small-group thinking The productivity paradox: saving time with AI only to waste it on mindless activities Jason's theory on the future commodification of human brain processing power How to maintain agency when using AI tools in daily life Resources David Cross (comedian referenced for joke about electric scissors) ---- MORE FROM THE FIT MESS: Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok Subscribe to The Fit Mess on Youtube Join our community in the Fit Mess Facebook group ---- LINKS TO OUR PARTNERS: Take control of how you'd like to feel with Apollo Neuro Explore the many benefits of cold therapy for your body with Nurecover Muse's Brain Sensing Headbands Improve Your Meditation Practice.

Tomás K has been a member of Internet and Technology Addicts Anonymous for 8 years and has been continuously sober from all of his compulsive internet and technology behaviors (including social media, streaming, video games, porn, and more) for over 5 years.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Increase Your Light Quotient "The 24 karat gold in a nanometer size can pass through the blood-brain barrier and have significant effects on our biocircuitry and biochemistry. t's incredible for increasing out the quotient of light in our body and up regulation of bio-luminescence." - David Reid The Effects of Nano Gold "Since I started taking the gold, I've experienced a lot of emotional release through the subconscious in dream states. I compare that to doing plant medicine, which is a lot of a harsher way to do it. The emotional release and purging are related to the hardware of the body, whereas the gold is releasing and updating the software of the subconscious part of the brain." - Brad McDonnell You Don't Need All The Answers "Liberation doesn't mean you know all the answers. It means that you surrender into the flow state, understanding that we are eternal and infinite, and just being grateful for what we have at the moment. The most peaceful experience is to realize there aren't answers and we don't need answers. Because what that means is that we are infinite and eternal, and that's the one true thing we really want." - David Reid Links From Today's Show  MANNA Vitality Brad McDonnell David Reid 541 Genetic Liberation: How To Increase Your Vitality With The Secrets of “MANNA” Unlocked 362 Zach Bush MD: Saving The Soil, Saving Humanity 642 Dr. Craig Koniver | Peptide Masterclass: The Practical, Physical + Spiritual Guide For All You Need To Know About Peptides To THRIVE 618 Shawn Wells + Daniel Solomons | Paraxanthine: UPDATE Your Energy + Vitality Without Caffeine 630 Mark Groves + Kylie McBeath | Liberated Love: Release Codependent Patterns + Create The Love You Desire Liberated Life Community Conscious Capitalism by John Mackey 048 Nir Eyal: Breaking Bad Habits, Technology Addiction, & Emotional Triggers 405 Tim Corcoran | Vision Quest: How To Find Your Place In The Ecology of Life, Purpose Mountain & Spiritual Courage 521 The Truth About Living A Spiritual Life + Vision Quests | Mark Tollefson   ❄️ Biohack Your Mind & Body with Plunge Ice Baths!

You're not alone, as Madison and I dissect the phenomenon of teen technology addiction, drawing parallels to the compulsive nature of drug dependence. This eye-opening discussion traverses the landscape of mental health, revealing the alarmingly similar effects of tech obsession on young brains to those wrought by controlled substances. We'll share our stories of digital dependency, mine as a self-professed tech addict, and Madison's as someone who finds solace in the virtual world when navigating the social sphere. Our conversation is a wake-up call to the reality that over half of our teens feel a visceral tether to their devices, illuminating a path of reflection and understanding for families grappling with this modern challenge.As we peel back the layers of our attachment to technology, I recount the palpable sense of loss when cut off from the digital pulse, akin to the distress substance users experience during withdrawal. We explore how devices become emotional crutches, providing comfort during stressful moments but potentially perpetuating a cycle of avoidance and dependence. Our chat is not all gloom, though; we recognize the therapeutic promise within creative digital environments and the restorative power of tech as an emotional recharge tool. It's a nuanced look at how managing our relationship with technology is critical for maintaining our well-being and preventing it from morphing into a problematic crutch.Rounding off our journey, we tackle the intersection of technology with emotional coping strategies, delving into how the digital world can serve as both a haven and a hindrance for young minds. We emphasize the constructive aspects of online communities for youths facing personal challenges and the essential role of parents in guiding their children through the virtual maze. When discussing the delicate dance of depression and technology addiction, we highlight resources like "Glow Kids" that provide insight into the factors fostering tech dependence. Ultimately, we advocate for balance, encouraging digital detoxes and professional support to ensure that our relationship with technology remains healthy and harmonious.

Let's start with the masculinity that's in deprivation. This is from Anna. Let's listen to the question right now. "Do you think masculinity is in deprivation in our society of feminism?" Well, the short answer is yes. And I'll tell you why, but before I begin, Mar, you know, you and I were chatting about this before we jumped on, and there's a dark and a light to feminism. Now, you as a woman, right, The majority of our audience is women and also men who are interested in accessing the feminine inside of themselves. That's why we have the upside-down triangle in our company logo so that I can master that myself. From a feminine perspective, what do you think the light and the dark of feminism are in your, in your mental view? So I'm still in the process of figuring out what's the good part and what's the kind of negative feminism. I've never been involved in the feminist movement at all because my opinion is every moment that has gone is not serving its purpose anymore. And that has happened with every big movement, basically. So I do see it in a way that it has brought us some freedom in a sense we're not dependent only on men anymore, which in a sense is good, but in the same sense, we have become the masculine in the world as well, because we get to work every day and we get to earn our own money and take care of children and do everything on our own. And I don't think that's a good thing. We just do way too much. Right. It's beautiful. Look, so it's a great question, Anna, and I'll start by, We'll go into 3 different chunks here. I think any movement when it begins, it does come from a good place, right? And so women's suffrage has been happening for a long time. You know, Eckhart Tolle talked about the pain body of women. And just like a lake, if you were to throw a rock, which could essentially represent the dark side of the patriarchy, which is a real thing. Patriarchy and feminism both have a dark and a light. That rock of the dark side of patriarchy was thrown into the lake. And in some ways, in many ways, the ripple is still being felt by the feminine, by women in the world. So I'm not here to negate the suffrage of women or the pain that women feel. I am here to just bring a different perspective. So with that vantage point, when it started, feminism I believe was about getting women to a place where they feel empowered, where they feel free. Unfortunately, like most movements here in the matrix, that movement was captured early 1900s by the IRS and by top wealthy families in America. And it was a way to get women out of the house and into the workforce for this reason, to double the taxes that were actually collected. And also it sacrifices the family... [14:50] How to Build a Mental Grit What is our next question? We have one from Jackie. She's asking about your advice on building mental grit during these crazy times. "What is a way you can build resilience and grit in these crazy trying times with social media, 24-hour news cycle, etc? How can you build the skills needed to survive your mind during these crazy times? I appreciate your advice and your answer. Thank you." Isn't Jackie asking the quintessential question of our times? In this day and age where we're also quote, hyper-connected on social media, and we have the most perceived that we ever had, I think really what we're talking about here is a pseudo connection where our energy and really our focus is being harvested. I don't know about you, Mar, but I'm very aware of how much I'm on my phone. Do you have a great relationship with your phone or what is that like for you? I wouldn't call it a great relationship. I'm trying to get away from it as much as I can. And every time I'm in a real social situation interaction, I try to never use my phone. It's just, to me, it feels so rude when I'm face-to-face with somebody and they're just on their phone. I can't stand it and that's why I'm not doing that. But yeah, I'm definitely trying to bring the screen time down as much as I can. That's my goal. Yeah, it's well said. Y'all can go on your iPhone, I believe on your Android too. And you can look at your hours. It actually shows you on your phone how many times you pick it up and how much time you're spending on your phone. So if you think you don't have time, I challenge everyone who's here with us to pick up your phone and how much time you're spending on your phone. I remember we had a guest on the show. It was Dr. Kyra Bobinet and she was a neuroscientist. She told me something very, very powerful. She said, look, no matter if you have children or not, even as adults, we're all being trained. We're all being trained on a neurological level to seek comfort and to seek what's called reward circuitry in our limbic system from the phone itself. Another great resource for this is the episode we did with Nir Eyal, where he talked about the variable reward of cell phones. I think, Jackie, what your question really points to is the phone, because the phone and computers and social media, these are the devices and these are the things that are actually down our capacity to have mental grit. Look at our ancestors, right? They saw, and I'm talking like even our grandparents, Mar, they saw maybe 150 to 200 things that were high decision-making things that they needed to make decisions in life. We see 10,000 things or more. So it's like 20 to 100 X times of input that's coming at us all day long. We are human. We are half beast and half spirit. And so I think it's no surprise that all of us are struggling in some way with mental grit. Now, when you say crazy times, a lot of these crazy times are propagated by what we see on social. We've all heard the term doom scrolling, right? It's actually why Mar and myself and our entire team, we design content that can actually go out there and hook people where they are. And that is essentially maybe in the bathroom, going to the bathroom, doom scrolling, or on the trolley or whatever, like just going through your phone, trying to get some kind of a mental reward from just the normalcy of where you are. And I think what we've lost is the ability to just be present in a moment... [24:30] Find The Courage to Grow Let's get to the next question. It's from Joanna. So Joanna is calling out the new age bullshit and she wants to know the difference between forcing versus cultivating courage to accept life's purpose. It's so good. Oh my gosh, how many people can relate to this? Let's hear Joanna. "Hey Josh, my name is Joanna. And my question for you is, I've heard you in the past talk about how in the new age, people say things like, if it doesn't feel good, then don't do it. And I've heard you call BS on that. And I would love if you could elaborate more about that, specifically, like with differentiating between, like, if you're forcing something, and it's, you know, like, to just switch lanes versus like, something is meant for you. But it might just be hard, you know, like how do you differentiate clarity around the path? Because obviously it's going to be hard either way. So it might not feel good either way. I hope that makes sense." It makes perfect sense. So the analogy would be when to grit and when to quit and how to have the emotional mental faculty in order to know when you should be forcing something, which I believe now is never that I'll get into, versus cultivating the courage to accept your life purpose. And this is multi-layered. So let's spend some time on this one because this is a very contextual question. So in the new age, we have these phrases, Mar, like good vibes only. I've even seen T-shirts and sweatshirts. Have you seen these? Good vibes only, or like social memes? Love and light. What does that bring up for you when you see that? Well, I've been through a lot, I know it's not true. It's just one part of it. It's like we live in a dual world and so always the shadow part and we cannot ignore it. If we only focus on the light and the love and the good vibes only, we're missing out on a lot. No doubt. Yeah, and you know what we're missing out on is we're missing out on the human experience of just having a process in general. I'll never, ever, ever forget this. I was at Paleo FX back in the day when Paleo was happening here in Austin, and I was doing a live podcast with Christine Hassler. And she said, never allow yourself to rob someone else of their process. And why that's so important is because when we focus on hyper positivity, or when we focus on good vibes only, or just love and light, we're missing out on a fucking myriad of the human experience that is grief, pain, anger, resentment, betrayal, jealousy. Human emotions are not necessarily good or bad, right? They're just emotions. And so energy in motion is really just a clue as to where the energy is asking to be or where the energy is asking to be channeled. So when I'm feeling angry or upset, that's actually a good thing. It's a good thing because my boundary has been broken in some way, or I'm not being respected in some way, either by myself or my partner or a friend or a colleague.

As a mother, watching my son Z grapple with the seductive pull of digital addiction opened my eyes to the unique challenges faced by individuals with autism. It's a journey filled with intense battles and hard-won victories, and I'm here to share our story, hoping it resonates with yours. On our latest podcast episode, we wade through the entangled web of video games and social media addiction, shedding light on how the quest for digital dopamine hits can overshadow real-life achievements. We discuss the brain's role in fostering these compulsions and how self-regulation becomes a Herculean task. It's not just a narrative; it's an exploration of the changes that occur within, and a testament to the fact that stepping back from the screen can lead to profound personal growth. Yet, this episode isn't just about the struggles; it's a treasure trove of actionable advice for thriving as an adult with autism. From the importance of embracing new hobbies to the power of positive affirmations in conquering negative thought patterns, we chart a course towards a balanced and fulfilling life. I share strategies that have proven effective, such as crafting a schedule that respects both work and play, setting boundaries to prevent burnout, and celebrating every small win on the road to independence. Join us for a heartfelt conversation that not only highlights the hurdles but equips you with the tools to leap over them with confidence.

If almost every one of us is consuming caffeine, and almost every one of us wants to consume less, why don't we?" - Shawn Wells Side Effects of Caffeine "Caffeine provides you with that jolt of overstimulation and then you crash. It raisse your anxiety levels. So all in all, you're just not feeling great after you consume it, even though you get that acute boost of energy." - Daniel Solomon All Diseases Are Metabolic in Nature "99% of disease is not genetic in nature, it's metabolic in nature. Your propensity to get any and all diseases is much higher when you're metabolically dysfunctional which is where you're going to have a 'trifecta of damage' on the mitochondria: oxidation, glycation, and inflammation.

Website Instagram Facebook Twitter YouTube About Daniel Solomons Daniel Solomons is the CEO and co-founder of Update. After working for over 4 years in finance, Daniel quit his job and bought a one-way flight to New York City – where together with his close friends, set out to create the world's first energy drink without caffeine...that actually works. After three years of trial and error, they created UPDATE – you can think of it as the Tesla of energy drinks.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 581 Is biomarker blood testing the future of real healthcare? Michael Dubrovsky, co-founder of SiPhox, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast, episode 581, to reveal how at-home biomarker blood testing is revolutionizing people's health journey, why the healthcare system should adopt a preventative approach, and how you can combine blood testing with wearables for best results. "We went after at-home blood testing to put a device in every home in America and make it possible for people to have easy access to this rather than making blood testing reactive, where "I have terrible symptoms, now I'm going to get a bunch of blood work." SiPhox is making it proactive so that people are getting much more blood tests and that's the cornerstone of the whole medical journey." - Michael Dubrovsky 10% Off SiPhox The SiPhox Health at-home test kit measures 17 blood biomarkers of inflammation, hormonal health, metabolic fitness, and cardiovascular health. 10% off with code "JOSH" Track how your body responds to your lifestyle, diet, and supplements to reach your health goals faster.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Biomarker Blood Testing "The way we view biomarker blood testing is like this panel is the base panel, you should be getting it frequently. We have add ons that allow you to look deeper at certain things. And that's how most engineers will debug a system, right? You do something broad and simple and you kind of see what's going on here and these are all biomarkers that are really well studied, very commonly if something's out of the range, and then we go deeper down a particular rabbit hole." - Michael Dubrovsky Life Expectancy in the U.S. "Life expectancy is not increasing while cost is increasing in the standard medical system and that is not true in Europe. If you look at all the European countries, everybody's life expectancy is increasing and the cost is not increasing that much. America is just obviously broken. We don't have a very strong opinion of how to fix it beside you need more data and you need more control over the situation." - Michael Dubrovsky The Evolution of the Medical System "Medicine is getting better but it's too expensive for most people to get that kind of scrutiny. Having more data makes it easier. If you give a doctor lots of data, such as 5 years of blood tests, the chances that they're going to give you an answer quickly is very high." - Michael Dubrovsky Limited Edition: Gold Pumpkin Spice from Organifi Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Fall treat is here!

Dr. Kathy explores recent research on the impact of feel-good hormones on mental health in children and adolescents. She discusses the responsibility parents have in managing how often kids experience these hormones in a world filled with stimuli. They also delve into a study on mice that suggests stimulating dopamine cells in the brain can lead to long-lasting positive effects on cognitive processing and decision-making. She also reflects on the potential implications of excessive dopamine exposure in technology use for mental health in teens.

A recent report from NPR highlights that teens who didn't spend time on social media felt better about themselves. While the report isn't anything new, the way NPR encouraged adults to handle teen dispair in tech is unsettling. NPR encouraged adults to help teens engage in social media for their happiness. While happiness is a gift from God, Dr. Kathy notes that it isn't a core need, and should be engaged carefully as we work to guide young people on to adulthood.
