Today is my mom's heavenly birthday, and I'm holding space for her memory while sharing something close to my heart: my new children's book, Why Does Grandma Forget My Name? , is officially out. This book was written for kids ages 4–9 to help them understand dementia with compassion, honesty, and hope — the kind of conversation I wish more families had access to. It's a story about...

www.brainbodybones.comSleep isn't downtime — it's one of the most active repair processes your body runs. During deep sleep, your brain clears out metabolic waste through the glymphatic system, consolidates memory, and regulates hormones tied to inflammation, blood sugar, and stress. Chronic poor sleep is linked to higher risk of neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease, and accelerated c...

www.brainbodybones.com www.karlsterling.com Your Brain Doesn't Care About Motivation — Here's What Actually Works Motivation is a lie. Or at least — it's not what you think it is. We treat motivation like a prerequisite. We wait to feel ready before we act, as if some internal switch has to flip before we're allowed to move forward. But that's not how your brain actually works....

Persistence: The One Skill That Changes EverythingMotivation fades. Persistence is what remains when it does. In this episode, I break down why persistence isn't about willpower — it's a trainable skill rooted in how your brain forms habits and rewires itself over time.

The Gratitude Practice I Do Every Day

www.karlsterling.comwww.brainbodybones.com**DISCIPLINE VS. MOTIVATION**Motivation got you to day one. Discipline is why you're still here on day three hundred. Nobody talks about that gap — so let's fix that. Motivation is a feeling, and feelings are unreliable. It shows up when things are new, exciting, easy — and it disappears the second things get boring, hard, or repetitive. If you wai...

Every year that you wait to start training your brain and body, you're not standing still — you're losing ground. www.karlsterling.com www.karlsvlog.com Same thing in business. Same thing in life. Waiting isn't neutral. It's a decision with a price tag. Today: why "I'll start when things settle down" is the most expensive sentence you'll ever say. I see it in the...

**Why I Don't Do Sleepovers or Dinner Parties**I don't stay overnight at people's houses. I don't go to dinner parties. And no — it's not because I'm anti-social. After long days of work and teaching, I need that time to myself to recover — to manage my mental and emotional energy so I can keep showing up fully for my clients, my students, and the people who matter most. In this video I break down...

www.karlsterling.comwww.karlsvlog.comYears ago, I almost went to a free outdoor symphony concert. Seven o'clock. Beautiful evening. I was genuinely excited. Six-fifty rolls around. I didn't go. Nothing happened. I just… didn't go. And here's the strange part — I wasn't even disappointed. That's when it hit me: sometimes the idea of doing the thing is better than actually do...

www.karlsterling.comwww.karlsvlog.com What if the thing you've been working toward your whole life — the ease, the rest, the finally getting to slow down — is actually working against you? I'm not saying relaxation is bad. I'm not saying you haven't earned a break. But your biology doesn't care what you've earned. The systems inside your body — your brain, your muscles, you...

**I've Been Doing IV Drip Therapy for 90 Days — Here's What Actually Happened**Three months ago I added IV drip therapy to my protocol. Here's my honest assessment — what I noticed, what changed, and why it makes physiological sense. I spend my time studying what keeps the brain and body performing — neuroplasticity, movement, osteogenic loading, sensorimotor integration. So when I add...

http://brainbodybones.comhttp://www.karlsterling.comhttp://Karlsvlog.comI played drums professionally for over 35 years. And then I stopped. Not because I had to — because I chose to. Today I'm going to tell you why. Music was my identity for most of my adult life. Drumming specifically — there's nothing like it. It's physical, it's neurological, it's primal. I understood rhyth...

Some of the things I see that blow my mind: - Patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease who do not actually have it — receiving dopaminergic medications with no benefit and real side effects - Patients diagnosed with MSA (Multiple System Atrophy) who do not have it — a devastating label that carries a terminal prognosis and profound psychological impact - Patients with true Parkinson's m...
