Jake Defines Holistic as something that has multiple benefits to the body.

E.g. Creative (supplement) vs Magnesium (holistic)

Here’s the Oxford Definition of Holistic

Characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of an illness.

Sleep hygiene is a big part of what inspires Jake.  Start with a particular hour range to go to bed each night.

Shout out to Tim Ferris who boldly declares his stance on limiting social media.

Jake’s approach to balance is to practice the ‘freedom’ to walk away from business when he feels the need to.  E.g. dropping what he’s doing to go to the gym.  

CBG Oil:  Comes from young Hemp.  It's the precursor to CBD. Jake recommends taking it in the morning.  It seems to me to be similar to the process of colostrum or umbilical stem cells.

CBG, Ashwagandha and Turmeric are the top selling supplements in their site.

Black seed oil is an immune booster.

Shilajit!!  Its a supplement he takes once a month.  Apparently its quite hard to find a legit source of it.  “He has a guy” that gets it for him.

Richard likes Apple Cider Vinegar.  

An Article on Shilajit…

https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a26766609/shilajit/

I review my cold shower routine.

Richard confirmed….  You never get used to getting in cold water.

LOL…. We Talk about the Liver King.  this was just a few weeks before youtube exposed him as a charlatan.   

Jake Recommends the “Nutra Eval Test” for a thorough blood exam.

Jake was a small town bodybuilder until he was injured.  Now he prefers Power Yoga.  

Jake's morning routine:  Walk!  He doesn’t like working out in the am.  

Inositol:  A Supplement to help with stress.  “Improves neural pathways”.  I have heard it is very helpful for people with ptsd.

Jake wanted to know about my teeth.  I can only guess it's because I more or less cut out sugar.  We discuss the addictive properties of sugar.

Ashwagandha: Jake considers this a ‘regulator enabler’

GROWTH MINDSET VS. FIXED MINDSET”  “Carol Dweck in her 2006 book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.”

Defined: Someone with a growth mindset views intelligence, abilities, and talents as learnable and capable of improvement through effort. On the other hand, someone with a fixed mindset views those same traits as inherently stable and unchangeable over time.

Why We need a growth mindset…. It leads to Resilience—the capacity to recover from and move through difficult situations

Example of Fixed Mindset: My historic approach to Math…..until I met….Calculus

Example if Growth:  Watching the local Orchestra Practice, Cooking (Yes, I’m a bit critical of myself), My athletic performances

  When I practice guitar / singing, I choose pieces that are just outside of my comfort zone.  This forces me into a growth mindset.

One key tip towards implementing:  Use the Phrase“Yet” more often.  E.g. I don’t speak Spanish….YET, vs I Can’t speak Spanish.

How has the podcast been an experiment in this?

“Releasing B+ content” on Time!!

I want massive amounts of editing and musical transitions….this….takes….tons… of time.

Why you need to write it down!!  Little Secret:  You do NOT need to find the answer.  You only need to properly format the question in a way that appeals to your curiosity.  This will promote subconscious reflection which can often lead to solutions.

How serious are you?

Your willingness to block access to distractions is often correlated with your desire to achieve a goal.

The highway to willpower is surrounded by exits of temptation

A few tips towards developing discipline:

1: Ask yourself why you ‘need’ it.  Is it a want or a need.  Be honest with yourself.  What part of you will be unfulfilled if you do not become more disciplined?  Entertainment and small dopamine hits are only a reach away (on your phone).  Let’s be real….  The best way to conserve your willpower is to put it away, make it inconvenient to access.

Conserve willpower by avoiding temptations / distractions

Emotional eating

“The best learning is happening when we have discomfort”

Students stressed about exams will often skip a meal

How do you associate positive emotions w/healthy foods

Do this by changing focus, words, language

Start with something slight.

Give a gift to your ‘tomorrow’ self.

E.g. How can you set yourself up for a great day.

Think of the marshmallow test

Consider having something healthy with fiber prior to having your sweet

Infused water: I HAVE been trying the parsley lemon water….  Its great
