For me, Carb Cycling worked extremely well.  A few days of restricting/limiting carbohydrates followed by a day or a meal of an increase in carbohydrates. By restricting carbohydrates I increased my sensitivity to carbs which allowed my body to use them appropriately when they were ingested.  Here's a quick episode on how it worked for me. Have a listen.

Here are some of the things I've implemented that seem to work for me.

In this episode, I run through a refresher on what Be Activated is and how over the long term can provide gradual benefits to multiple areas of the body and our emotional resilience...

Training for the 4x4x48 I ran into a case of blisters a few weeks before the event.  Instead of taking time off to let them heal, I proceeded to continue running daily. Ultimately what happened was those blisters turned into calluses and I was able to participate in the event without blisters or fear of getting blisters along the way. What a perfect metaphor for our life obstacles. 

I started a new book because of my fascination with the Vagus Nerve.  The Polyvagal Theory.  I'm about 2 chapters in and there are things related to the Vagus Nerve that I was not aware of. Seems like if we could figure out exactly how this thing works or what we could do to influence it, it could solve many of our problems.

Schools are significantly better at identifying the movement and sensory needs of their students, yet there is room for improvement. I think there should be movement and sensory input provided prior to any melt downs or sensory overload experiences. Have a listen and let me know what you think!

When you get it right, saying "I told you so" gives you no allies moving forward.  Being right is great, but gloating with the win will never get the person with the opposing view point on your side.....ever. Use your win to build a bridge. 

As experts we take for granted performing our trade regularly every day.  It's critical to treat your clients as if they aren't experts and be as thorough as possible with the necessary information. Too easily we breeze through things giving our clients the benefit of the doubt but in most all cases it's better to over inform than under inform.

Making eye contact seems to carry special importance to some people but what if I told you eye contact was directly related to your neurological capabilities?  What if it was a physical stressor and something that caused anxiety and panic attacks?  Would it still be important to people? Have a listen where we talk about eye contact and why it's essentially useless in determining if someone has you...

The ego or the mind does not trust the body to get things done.  The body has done all of the training yet the mind thinks it knows better. Could the mind be interfering with your desired results?  Have a listen.

Numerical data is a fantastic tool yet it can be limited in use for decision making if not all of the data is present.  Taking sample sizes of data can be a good practice to build a general frame work but could prove costly in some fields. Using data to advise on an individual's health can be a great, "top of funnel" start, yet we need to go deeper into the individuals story to determine the prope...
