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 improvement and what will always work better. 

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 adressing your needs.  Give your body a chance to sort these issues itself without any drug or other chemical influence.

The long term benefits of this will be applicable in just about everything. 

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 can be harmful.

There is another way.  Behavior is the body trying to communciate a need. If we are able to satisfy this need, the "appropriate" behavior is natural.  Teaching these techniques, in my opinion, could lead to a life of wellness and positivity.

In this podcast, we discuss something that most therapists won't buy, but I know from personal experience makes a huge, signficantly positive experience. 

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 history.  

One of the coolest concepts in this piece that I forget to mention in the podcast was how it seems at the very moment we are most comfortable is when we are the most likely to be suprised.

Anyway, have a quick listen, I'm sure it will spark some questions.

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 the last half year to improve my ability to stay frequent with my running. 

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 bit more practical for every day use.

"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 seat with full control and open your mind to more opportunities and solutions moving forward. 

*As always, consult with your physician before coming off of any prescribed drug.

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 know the Psoas is a third of my holy muscle trinity (diaphram and glutes being the other two).  Goggins talks about experiencing chronic fatigue type systems that were a mystery to his doctors but through stretching and releasing his psoas he was able to overcome those systems.

Have a quick listen here as we unravel how someone can experience chronic fatigue symptoms and fix through the psoas.
