Podcasts about what doesn't kill us

This episode is about trying to understand our true capacity to cope with stress and how to arouse the dormant resilience in all of us.  My guest on this show seems to be proof there are benefits from extreme physical challenges. In his case, actually seeking out stressors and using them to hack the nervous system - reprogramming it's response to those stressors. Scott Carney is an investigative journalist who has worked in some of the most dangerous and unlikely corners of the world. His work has been the subject of a variety of radio and television programs, including NPR and National Geographic TV.  Before writing what eventually became the New York Times bestseller, "What Doesn't Kill Us," Scott set out to prove that the now-famous "iceman" Wim Hoff was a charlatan and his workshop retreats destined to kill people. Instead, Scott winds up climbing Mount Kilimanjaro half-naked, submerging himself in ice water learning radical breathing techniques (see Episode 6 of this podcast). The experience gave Scott almost superhuman levels of endurance, and he says it quieted a persistent autoimmune illness.  At the core of these methods is a technique Scott outlines in detail with his new book "The Wedge." In this episode, we talk about how it works, what he found on his search for other people who understood the language of the body's response to the environment. What other "wedges" did he discover?  This chat with Scott helped me think of stress as something to use. Specific stressors can be opportunities to build a form of strength in the area where the stress is met, whether physical or mental. During the interview, Scott talks about the brain's ability to build "libraries of emotional experiences" tied to stressful events. He thinks you can hack the libraries by various means of exposure and or wedges dealing with the stress to change how you experience it, thus increasing your ability to cope. This chat will push you to reconsider how far out your limits may be.  Some interesting sections of the conversation... What he learned from Wim Hoff The two way communication between the mind-body and body-mind  Relationships between physiological and psychological stress Possibilities in reprogramming the nervous system Placebos How to use environment to increase resilience A new game of catch - with iron weights  Confronting fear in a laboratory  Enjoy!

Andrew and John. Because I like to put Andrew first... sometimes.....Scott's newest book The Wedge is incredible. Give it a read. As is his book about Wim Hof, What Doesn't Kill Us.Besides being a best selling author, Scott is an investigative journalist, TED speaker and anthropologist. If life is a song and it ends in a minor key, why not take risks!! SCWe've lost, we're gonna die. So why not live an amazing life!!As human beings, we're not really using all of the tools we've been given. The Wedge is about learning how to separate the stimulus (stressor) from our response (stress). You have choice in every situation.Scott's early book The Enlightenment Trap explores the dangers of meditation. Anxiety is your sympathetic nervous system getting you ready to act! Fight or Flight!Our Limbic Librarian has an incredible memory but sucks at context. Our brain simply pulls up past reactions and then inserts it into our present experience. If we're not careful, we'll be repeating past reactions and fears and never living in the present.The brain is both lazy and dynamic. We can decide to change our experience and that's the beauty of people alive. Habits are powerful and form our lives. This is the best book on it. Forget the Placebo Effect. Get to know the Nocebo Effect. The place where our beliefs create our reality.  Our mind is powerful. While we can't "think away a bacterial infection," we can fix chronic problems (like anxiety) in great and profound ways. "We are the way out of our problems." Andrew LangfordThere's a boogyman for every symptom. If we fill our world with boogymen and see threats around every corner, we will be creating the reality in which we suffer needlessly.To connect with Scott and read his earlier books, go here!

WARNING: SPOILERS We get lodged in a loop of Netflix releases this week on the Cinema Vertigogo Podcast with two of the latest offerings to hit the streaming market, Roma and The Endless. Are these game-changing works that deserve Oscar consideration, or just well received straight to video entries? Tune in to find out... Also, we take a look at a movie made by a couple of our listeners, What Doesn't Kill Us, which is set to hit the festival circuit next year. https://www.facebook.com/cinemavertigogo/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/cinemavertigogosocialclub/ https://twitter.com/cinemavertigogo https://www.instagram.com/cinemavertigogo/ https://open.spotify.com/show/0sKQN6gZac3s74kL4hx1bj https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cinema-vertigogo/id1262932321 

The boys find their way back and are welcomed by one of the Hidden Shadows, Basil.  As they give Basil tips on how to do an intro to a podcast they do a very special episode for an independent film studio. They got to review a private screening of an independent film called What Doesn't Kill Us. A beautiful and hilarious zombie mockumentary directed by Zach Schlapkohl, Jacob Kiesling and Ethan Cartwright. For the first time ever, we're excited to go to an Independent film festival. Cheers.

Scott Carney is an investigative journalist, anthropologist, author of What Doesn't Kill Us, TEDx speaker, and has had some fascinating journeys in his life. One such journey sent him to Poland to debunk "The Iceman" Wim Hof and his methods of cold therapy, breathing techniques, and heightened consciousness. Wim's methods and programs have made many claims such as better sleep, faster recovery, lowered stress, better focus, and improved immune systems and Scott's mission was to disprove these claims and tell the world of his findings.  However, Scott's journey to prove Wim as a fraud didn't turn out as he expected and he ended up joining his training program and climbing a mountain in nothing but his bathing suit in the middle of winter. Not only that, but he began to see significant changes in his performance, both mental and physical as we worked through Wim's methods. Scott's story and experiences with Wim are fascinating and share a unique perspective on his teachings and give us an insiders look into what exactly happens to our bodies and minds as he delves into deep breathing techniques, cold immersion, and mental clarity and focus exercises. A few years later, Scott joined Wim as they climbed Mount Kilimanjaro together in just 28 hours without the use of supplemental oxygen (and wearing only his bathing suit again). There are so many takeaways from this show and you can learn more about Scott, his books, and his travels at ScottCarney.com and I highly advise watching his TEDx talks as well.

Guest Introduction: Dr. Richard Brown is an Associate Clinical Professor in Psychiatry at Columbia University. He has taught and worked as an integrative psychiatrist for over 30 years, and is also a certified teacher of Aikido, yoga, Qigong, and Open Focus Meditation. Throughout his career, Richard has developed novel treatments—herbs, nutrients, mind-body practices, and other technologies—for people who didn’t respond to conventional medicines. He has authored and co-authored numerous books and publications, including “How to Use Herbs, Nutrients, and Yoga in Mental Health Care” and “The Healing Power of the Breath.” Interview Summary: In this interview, Richard first discusses his background, the work he does, and how he got into it. He talks about the various mind-body techniques that he's learned over the years, and how he incorporates them into his practice. He also describes the five ways that our lives change when we adopt a spiritual practice. Richard then goes into more detail on meditation and breathing. He discusses some of the research that shows the physical and mental benefits of meditation and breathing practices. He also talks about the different people and groups that he's worked with throughout his career. We ask Richard how breathing and meditation help people deal with the traumas that they acquire. He explains how emotional traumas take us out of the present, and how breathing and meditation increase presence. Richard then discusses how the nervous system works, and how we carry stress in our bodies. He describes the stress response or sympathetic branch of the nervous system, and its two components: the stop/look and pleasure/reward system. He also talks about how long-term stress affects the nervous system. Next, Richard explains how neurochemicals such as dopamine and endorphins are released, and how they affect us. He talks about how exposing the body to a range of challenges tones up the nervous system, and references Scott Carney's book "What Doesn't Kill Us." He then describes the soothing/bonding or parasympathetic branch of the nervous system. Richard gives some examples of activities that release oxytocin in the brain. He also explains what the vagal nerve is and how it functions. He discusses how breathing practices enhance the soothing/bonding system and improve our stress response. Richard goes on to reveal the rate of breathing that has an optimal effect on the body and mind. He references a few studies that show the incredible benefits of a long-term slow breathing practice. He then describes the three phases of how PTSD develops. Richard explains how stress interferes with our ability to relate and work with others. He also talks about how breathing improves heart rate variability, and why heart rate variability is the single best predictor of health. He describes what coherent or resonant breathing is, and walks us through how to practice it. Richard discusses how breathing synchronizes our body, mind, and spirit, and how this enhances cognitive function. He shares a story about a client who overcame multiple addictions and transformed his life after developing a consistent breathing and qigong routine. Chris then talks about acquiring traumas, having a breakdown, and using mind-body techniques to heal himself and gain clarity. Finally, Richard expands on the analogy of thinking of your mind as a tablecloth. He emphasizes the importance of practice, and reminds us that it takes time to build up these skills, but they are life-changing in the long run.

In this week's episode, we reiterate a very important idea of learning to "maximize results while minimizing the amount of 'work' you have to put in". This all links back to "doing your homework". Last week we talked about getting injured and how to avoid it. This week we dial in how to get aerobically fit WITHOUT traditional training OR in addition to. Jon went through a period of working through a back injury and found a way to still stay aerobically fit and proved it with by doing 18.1 and a 10-mile trail run in the same morning without 'training' for a month. The style of training we talk about is beautiful in that it is incredibly difficult however it's not taxing on the entire system the way longer duration, aerobic workouts are. 2:40 - Wim Hof Breathing - 4:30 - Testing 18.1 + 10 Mile trail run 6:50 - The future of training 9:00 - Maximizing the impact of your training 13:30 - Tape your mouth shut 20:00 - Fixing your clogged up nose 28:00 - The future of training is here A couple additional resources: "What Doesn't Kill Us" (https://www.amazon.com/What-Doesnt-Kill-Environmental-Conditioning/dp/1623366909/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1520010025&sr=8-1&keywords=what+doesn+t+kill+us) "Oxygen Advantage" (https://www.amazon.com/Oxygen-Advantage-Scientifically-Breathing-Techniques/dp/0062349473/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1520010050&sr=1-1&keywords=oxygen+advantage) Tape for your mouth (https://www.amazon.com/Micropore-Surgical-Tape-Yards-Dispenser/dp/B00ICF3TG2/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1520011031&sr=8-7&keywords=micropore+tape) Apnea App (http://apnea-diver.com) Stamina App (http://squarecrowdapps.com/stamina/)

Our ancestors crossed deserts, mountains, and oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might consider modern technology. Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our forebears?Or even more importantly, can we tap into our evolution and increase our mental and physical resilience?This week on the show we interview investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney (scottcarney.com). In his New York Times best selling book, What Doesn't Kill Us, Scott tries to figure out if it is possible to hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology?Helping him in his search for the answers is Dutch fitness guru Wim Hof, whose ability to control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific study.In this episode, Scott tells us about his own transformational journey as he pushes his body and mind to the edge of endurance, a quest that culminates in a record-bending, 28-hour climb to the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but a pair of running shorts and sneakers.

We've survived a cruel summer (so far), and are back to discuss what we've been watching while on break. Noel talks about films that examine fraught father-daughter relationships (10 Cloverfield Lane, Don't Breathe, Train to Busan & The Host), and Monica (coincidentally) does the opposite, discussing an underappreciated woman-directed masterpiece from last year, Evolution, which is all about bizarre mother-son bonds. She also recommends some of the shorts in the all-woman directed anthology XX. Unsurprisingly we talk about gender, family, the future of horror, and other "state of the world" topics in that What Doesn't Kill Us way. Please rate, review, comment, and/or subscribe here, on iTunes, SoundCloud, Twitch, or via email at tellusyourfears@yahoo.com. Lots more horror to come ...

A discussion of the book "What Doesn't Kill Us" and why I'm now taking ice cold showers.

Questions we ask in this episode: When you set out to write your book, you thought Wim Hof was a charlatan… Did you set out to debunk him, and if so, why? You tested the WHM Wim Hof Method) on yourself over a six month period. What did you test and what were the results? You climbed Mount kilimanjaro in your shorts. How was that? Do you think our modern lives have gotten too comfortable? After everything you’ve put yourself through and researched… How much of an impact do you believe the WHM has on one’s health? From the healthy to the not so healthy...

This week, our fantastic guest is Mr. Scott Carney. Scott is an investigative journalist and anthropologist. He has worked in some of the most dangerous unlikely corners of the world, especially when writing his books, and we're here to talk about his brand new book today, "What Doesn't Kill Us," which is a New York Times bestseller, and I was so keen to get Scott on the show because essentially this book came about because Scott went on a journey to end up trying to debunk Wim Hof. [00:01:30] If you're not familiar with Wim Hof, we'll get into that as well today, but if you have been listening to my podcast for a while with myself and Stu, you'll realize that I've gone on and done Win Hof retreats, and spent some time with him, and I actually practice the breath work and [inaudible 00:01:08]. So it was great to get Scott on his journey and what he's discovered through his own mission. Ultimately, he's a really good, fun guy. He says it as it is. He wants to know the facts, and he digs deep to find out what's actually going on, and where's the line between myth and actually reality as well. It was a brilliant podcast, and I have no doubt you're going to enjoy this show today.

It's a topic close to my heart, I was very excited about this one. Before we get into it Scott, we ask everyone on the show, if a complete stranger stopped you on the street and asked you what you did for a living, what would you say? Scott God, that's a hard question because I don't talk to strangers, they scare me. I was told never, ever to speak with them. I'm an investigative journalist and anthropologist. If that isn't enough to bore the hell out of a stranger, I do not know what is. Full Transcript & Video Version: http://180nutrition.com.au/180-tv/scott-carney-interview/

In general, I think it would be safe to assume that we, as a people have become weak. The average man or woman seems more likely to face obesity, autoimmune disease, and an overall reduction in happiness and fulfillment. As we continue to seek a life of ease and comfort, it is becoming painfully obvious that our quest for perpetual comfort might be the very thing that will kill us. My guest today, New York Times Bestselling author, Scott Carney, share with us how to introduce environmental stressors, how to build up more resilience, and the strategies he uses for making himself a stronger human being. Scott Carney Men, I am honored to introduce you to my guest today, Scott Carney. I came across Scott's work while connecting with another podcast Alumni, Scott Keneally. He recently wrote a book titled, What Doesn't Kill Us, and, as I read the premise of the book which is how Scott used Wim Hof's methods to improve his level of health, I knew he was someone I needed to have on the show. What I like most about Scott's work is that he is an investigative journalist who set out to expose Wim Hof as a fraud. He talks about that and how, rather than exposing Wim Hof, he ended up reaping the benefits of his work to lose weight, and build up resiliency using environmental training. In the meantime, he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in shorts and completed the Tough Guy, one of the world's most difficult - and coldest - obstacle course races in the world. He's here to talk about how he did it. Please leave us a review at http://www.orderofman.com/itunes Shownotes: http://www.orderofman.com/101 Website: http://www.orderofman.com

So, as I like to say, I tend to buy some books just by reading its name. And this is exactly what happened with "What Doesn't Kill Us". What a freaking awesome name! And what an AWESOME book! I must say I was surprised by it. Here is the book description, extracted from Amazon: "Our ancestors crossed deserts, mountains, and oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might consider modern technology. Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our forebears? Investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology? Helping him in his search for the answers is Dutch fitness guru Wim Hof, whose ability to control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific study. Carney also enlists input from an Army scientist, a world-famous surfer, the founders of an obstacle course race movement, and ordinary people who have documented how they have cured autoimmune diseases, lost weight, and reversed diabetes. In the process, he chronicles his own transformational journey as he pushes his body and mind to the edge of endurance, a quest that culminates in a record-bending, 28-hour climb to the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but a pair of running shorts and sneakers. An ambitious blend of investigative reporting and participatory journalism, What Doesn't Kill Us explores the true connection between the mind and the body and reveals the science that allows us to push past our perceived limitations."

How many pushups can you do on a single breath? My guest today, Scott Carney, best-selling author of the newly released book What Doesn't Kill Us could only do 20 pushups before his training with Wim "The Iceman" Hof. During this time, Scott learned to control his body temperature and seek out the knowledge that was key to unlocking his body's hidden potential. Since then, Scott has trained with elite athletes, competed in the world's most notorious cold-weather obstacle course race, and summited Gilman's Point on Mount Kilimanjaro... in nothing but a pair of shorts.   In today's episode I talk with Scott as he shares how freezing water, extreme altitude, and environmental conditioning can renew our lost evolutionary strength. In today's episode you'll learn:  How Scott lost seven pounds in seven days, The quickest and safest way to build what Scott calls "The Wedge", Scott's personal 15-minute breathing routine, and... Much, much more.

Inspired by our review of The Taking of Deborah Logan, in this episode of Special Topics we take a look at representations of illness and disease in horror films, both literal and metaphorical. We discuss a wide range of films, from Outbreak to May to The Babadook to The Shining to Donnie Darko to The Grapes of Death (best title ever) to The Silence of the Lambs vs. Manhunter, as well as obscure TV shows like The X-Files and Hannibal. Throw in some painful personal stories and references to about 52 other films, and we get a typically scintillating WDKU discussion.

It was inevitable--we had to tackle the 2015 art-house horror phenomenon that is Robert Eggert's 'New England Folktale' The Witch: "A family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession." It went over well with 3 out of the 4 of us, but the naysayer's points are really ... trenchant! Comment, rate and email us at tellusyourfears@gmail.com.
