Ever since my days in professional sports, it has been extremely obvious to me how the "elite" have brains that don't work in the same way as an ordinary person.
I have been on a lifelong pilgrimage to find the answer and, to be honest, I think I've got it.
This episode will explain to you what I've found.
Here's What You're Going to Learn...
This episode is one that I will come back to over and over again and share with our clients as we grow.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get an official lab test for your VO2 Max?
While VO2 Max is a popular data point to measure, it's not exactly the most important metric that the experts are looking at.
Today we welcome in Jenny Martin, the Chief Nursing Officer at RecoveryPlus, who will teach you everything you need to know about cardiopulmonary testing and give you an inside look at what the experts are looking for when you get your test.
Cardiopulmonary testing is a way for healthcare professionals to see how well your heart and lungs are working.
I visited RecoveryPlus a few months ago for my own testing and was really surprised by some of my test results. I think of myself as an athletic BEAST but my testing showed that I have some real holes in my armor.

From thousands of hours of researching human performance, I've seen many parallels to the mechanics of performance and social anxiety. To be honest, I've seen the same connections to PTSD, cancer, auto-immune diseases and hypertension.
In this episode, I will walk you through the dots that I've connected.
I don't claim to be an expert in this category but I have seen some things that have really made me think and question the current rhetoric behind these concepts and how we treat them.
Check this podcast out to see these ailments from a more holistic, neuroscience perspective.
