Ever thought you weren't practice gratitude correctly? 

Well Dr. Huberman has a pretty interesting and effective way to practice gratitude 

Here is a link to his youtube link that we refer to in this podcast episode

We talk about the biological and psychological benefits of gratitude and how we can utilize this in your life immediately

Noah and Kye go into why the medical system is setting you up for failure. Why treating your symptoms rather than the root cause can actually harm you more in the long run. 

We share a meme about 2 fish bowls where the water is murky and dirty. Fish bowl #1 solution was to treat the fish so that it could survive (western medicine ideology) or fish bowl #2 solution, clean the water so the first can survive (alternative ideology). 

Noah shares some stories of his patients and their journey through the medical system and then Noahs solution that has ultimately helped them heal. The doctors that they were seeing were trying to treat the symptoms or had no idea how to treat the symptoms(fish bowl #1). Whereas Noahs thinking was to assess and make an educated decision on best care to help the root cause of why they have these symptoms (fish bowl #2)

Main takeaway from this is to get a practitioner who cares, that will help you become aware and educated on WHY these symptoms are happening and giving you a roadmap of healing that is congruent with the root cause. 

In this episode, Noah goes on a RANT! 

So we talk about the different issues around only looking to studies for valid information about health and well being. We also dive into practical and logical progressions that you can utilize to make more informed decisions about your own health and well being 

In this episode we dive into Cranial Nerves, a different view on Chiropractic and how the body is so well connected

Dr. Whitney is a Chiropractor located in Mission Viejo at Well Connected Chiro. She specifies in a technique called Blair Chiropractic which utilizes neurological tests and 3D x-rays that allow them to engineer a correction to the neck that is unique to each person. The adjustments are delivered in a precise and gentle manner which is why the patients love coming to Dr. Whitney!

Cranial Nerves -

What they are, why they are important and some relationships with viruses and illnesses.

Some of the book references that Dr. Whitney suggested 

Neuroscience books on Neuroplasticity

Bruce Lipton - The Biology of Belief 

Eastern Medicine books

Dr. Candace B Pert- Molecules of Emotion 

In this episode we talk about a different way of looking at health and introduce an idea of a spectrum rather than a one sided ideal. 

                      / 

                   /

__________/___________

Protection                 Vulnerability

Wellness                     Sickness

Factors that contribute either towards protection/wellness or towards vulnerability/sickness

- Hormone profile, Sleep, Nutrition, Gut health, Brain health, Mental Stability, Emotional Stability, Exercise Habits, Daily Habits, Stress levels, Ability to down regulate, Ability to down regulate, blood markers, Heart Rate Variability, Respiratory rate, Pain levels/tolerance, Happiness 

That is my best illustration of this concept for this platform. But you can see a better idea on the instagram and facebook post 

We also talked about Kye's vacation and how you can have a good strong base of protection but when you do things that we know we are not supposed to do, we have to face the consequences. 

Here is a link to reference what we talked about with the Strongfit arch. Not exactly the same but the same kind of idea
