BioResilience Podcast

I recently went for my second float tank experience.  For me, after leaving, it feels like I've slept for a full day and work up completely calm, relaxed and full of energy reserves. No touch, No smell, No taste, No sight, No sound.  I want one for my house! In this episode I go into detail about my experience and some things I noticed that seem to be helpful for when I go back again.

If you think Zone Heart Rate Training is the best way to build endurance (I think it is) then imagine using the same principles to build mental endurance... I grabbed this technique from David Goggins and his most recent book.  He thinks you can essentially break your mental states down into training zones in order to build more mental strength and stamina. Have a quick listen.  If you like, add i...

Information tends to date itself for an individual.  What made sense even a week ago to me, can no longer be useful or even correct today.  When I make blogs, podcasts or protocols, typically they make 100% to me at that time. Then after several weeks, months or years later then can render themselves obsolete to me based on my growth.  That doesn't mean those resources are no longer good, in fact,...

Once I stopped exercising for strength, endurance and physique goals is when I started hitting my strength, endurance and physique goals. It's true.  Once I started focusing on hitting my routine regularly and dieting regularly specifically so that I could be more regulated throughout the day, all of these amazing ancillary benefits of exercise start to come to fruition. I guess the philosophy cou...

Overwhelmed?  Frustrated?  Angry?  Disruptive?  Odds are you are not giving your body everything it needs.   Those types of emotions are the ways the body communicates with you to let you know that something is missing. For me, I've found additional input by way of physical activity connects pathways in my system to keep me calm and regulated. Have a quick listen and see if there are any applicati...

In the book "The 80/20 Rule" they discuss the effects of forced correction on running economy.  They thought that by correcting the running mechanics they'd be able to improve a runners economy and oxygen consumption.  What they found was that these corrections actually made their running economy worse. Well why's that??  Have a quick listen on how forced corrections aren't the solution to improve...

I hate to pat myself on the back, but I have to for this one.  This podcast was definitely one of my best :)   A simple, straight forward break down of how things work from an internal standpoint.  Our ability to solve our own problems and giving the body the tools necessary to grow and repair. For anyone on the journey of working through stress, anxiety, depression this is a practical solution to...

This is a topic that I could talk about for hours.  It's a significant difference in opinion from the main stream child behavioral treatments. ABA is forced conditioned behavior complaince that uses, what they call "play", to correct what they call, "inappropriate behaviors".  I truly believe all this does is condition the child to mask their body's need for expression.  Long periods of masking ca...

I recently discovered an amazing app.  For anyone looking to get serious about a dopamine detox and limiting social media, you have to check out the app Imprint.  It's absolutely fantastic! Anyway, through the Imprint app, one of the suggested readings was The Black Swan.  Essentially it is about the reasons why we fail to predict some of the biggest and sometimes most catestrophic events in histo...

Without getting much relief from seeing a podiatrist I had to find my own answers for feet and leg pain while running. I'm still learning new cool hacks to keep my body feeling great and able to run.  The key to building strength, endurance, etc all comes down to getting your reps in... but you can't get reps when you're injured. Have a listen to hear about some of the new things I've added over t...

I'm a savage.  When I run, I run at a pace as fast as I can to finish as quickly as possible.   I thought I would get all the benefits, better cardio vascular condition, faster speeds, better performance simply by running fast. Turns out, slower runs by training your heart in specific zones are the way to get those benefits. Have a quick listen of how I learned this the hard way.

Thor is merely a mortal without his hammer Mjolnir... Ok, I'm a marvel nerd.  Anyway, you've got to see this new series on Disney+ called Limitless.  Now, do I think they went over the top with a theatrical artistic license?  Yes.  But the concept is the exact same concept I preach with Bio Resilience.   Have a quick listen to my run down on the show and how to take the information and make it a b...

"You can't control the output, but you can always control the input".  I loved hearing this quote from a sales guy doing a presenation on why he didn't hit his sales numbers. Rarely does cause and effect give us a 1:1 outcome, so why do we push results based testing for "proof of concept". Have a quick listen, not sure if my examples match up with the message but still a good concept to chew on.

It typically takes me to get burnt twice before I learn not to touch a hot stove.  In this episode I run through my personal journey of coming off anti depressants, twice, and learning some natural techniques of getting the body to return to a parasympathetic state after stress or trauma.   Learning these techniques and building RESILIENCE for all of life's challenges will put you in the drivers s...

I'm on another David Goggins kick.  His content, story and delivery, to me is extemely motivational.  Whenever I listen, I see all of the life I'm leaving on the table...  Anyway, I was listening to him on and old Joe Rogan podcast episode #1080 and for a brief, probably overlooked minute, he talks about the time he learned about his Psoas.   If you've listened to any of my podcasts before you kno...

Magazines back in the day sold thousands of copies with headline covers like "The Only Exercise You'll Need to Build Your Ideal Physique".  It looks like we are still searching for that one thing that will change everything.   In this epsiode, listen in on a conversation I had at the gym.  Some amazing advice from a trainer may not pan out in the long run but it was interesting to hear.

Man, people need regulated.  If you don't think so, just look around. Everyone needs help.  The truth is, there's really nothing you can do directly to them to help, however, there's a little trick called Co-Regulating that is a hands-free way to bring people back into a place of safety. Co-Regulation is when our nervous systems communicate with one another an let's the other know that it's safe s...

Through my business ventures I've seen success and failure.  Failure usually came as a result of not being authentic.  Even with the best systems in place, customers can see through you.  If you are being 100% authentic and providing value for a purpose besides making money, you should win every time. Have a quick listen and see where I screwed up!

A few corrections from the recording.  First I think I call it ASNR the entire time but it's actually ASMR.  Next I refer to the youtube channel as the "Quiet Whisperer" but it's actually the "Gentle Whisperer". Anyway, in this episode I chat a bit about ASMR and how I think it could potentially correlate to more nervous system toning.  At first it will give you the willys and make the hair on you...

It's hard to be disappointed after completing a 26.2 mile race but I managed to pull it off.  Dispite perfect conditions and seeminly fully prepared I missed my goal by a significant margin. It is only a defeat if I learned nothing from the marathon.  The good news is that I learned a great deal. Have a listen, maybe this can help you.

I'm a 100% pleasure seeker.  I will literally build complex systems in order to make life more comfortable.  The problem is, by avoiding discomfort I reject an opportunity for growth. This is apparent with those struggling with weight loss.  We would rather choose the comfort of staying fat than take on the discomfort of diet and exercise. We even convince ourselves that the goal is more complex t...

A few scenarios popped up for me that lead me to believe that if I could just control how I am feeling then very few things would bother me. How we interpret events in our reality could literally be a biproduct of how we are feeling internally.   What things are required for self regulation may depend on the individual but have a quick listen and see if any of this stuff resonates with you.

"Belief is the code to your personal algorithm." - Tim Edmunds Never was lack of belief so apparent to the end results as this weekends tennis tournament.  Victory could have been granted based on belief alone.  But how do we believe when we don't have proof of concept? Listen in to this weeks podcast for some ideas on this great and magically true strategy. 

"My job sucks, I hate it, I hate doing what I'm doing, how awesome is this?!?" With this perspective you can make yourself invincible to discomfort.  Find out how to implement this strategy to work on any other opportunity like this.

I listened to a really cool podcast by Jim Kwik the brain coach and his guest Anat Baniel.  She works with Autistic children and coaches their parents on how to understand their childs operating system.  Through observing the body and behavior she is able to identify a solution that works within what is already happening to give both the child and the parents an understanding of exactly what's goi...
