Chasing Function, your guide to health and wellness episodes

  • Episode 53- What is "Health"??? Part two
    https://www.bluezones.com/
    Blue zones
    - Okinawa, Japan
    - Sardinia, Italy
    - Nicoya, Costa Rica
    - Ikaria, Greece
    - Loma Linda, California
    Power 9
    Move Naturally
    Purpose - why you wake up in the morning (knowing your sense of purpose is worth up to 7 years of extra life expectancy
    Downshift - Routines to shed stress (Okinawans take a few moments and remember their ancestors) (Adventists pray) (Ikarians take a nap) (Sardinians do happy hour)
    80% rule (stop eating when they are 80% full, people in the blue zones eat their smallest meal in the late afternoon or early evening and then they dont eat any more the rest of the day)
    Plant Slant - (Beans, including fava, black, soy and lentils are the cornerstone of most centenarian diets. Meat - mostly pork - is eaten on average only five times per month. Serving sizes are 3-4oz, about the size of a deck of cards
    Wine at 5 - people in blue zones drink alcohol moderately and regularly. The trick is to drink 1-2 glasses per day with friends and/or with food. And no you cant save up all week and have 14 drinks on Saturday
    Belong - All but 5 of the 263 centenarians they interviewed belonged to a faith-based community. Denomination doesnt seem to matter. Research shows that attending faith-based services four time per month will add 4-14 years of life expectancy
    Loved ones first - this means keeping aging parents and grandparents nearby or in the home (its lowers disease and mortality rates of children in the home too). They commit to a life partner and invest in their children with time and love
    Right Tribe - the worlds longest lived people chose - or were born into- social circles that supported healthy behaviors, Okinawans created “moais” - groups of five friends that committed to each other for life. Research from the Framingham studies shows that smoking, obesity, happiness, and even loneliness are contagious. So the social networks of long-lived people have favorably shaped their health behaviors

  • Episode 51 - Whoop, there it is!

    In this episode we talk about Anxiety (yet again...) but this time we give you guys some objective data to go based on. Not only to see if you have anxiety but also different health markers so that we can predict health. 

    We mention Whoop a lot and we love the product and what the company is doing for our health and wellbeing. Go check them out at https://www.whoop.com/

    We also have a group going if you have a whoop and want to join us for community and support 

    Our group name is Root Solution

    In the next episode we will dive deeper into what "health" is and how we can measure it without going just by the way you look.

  • Episode 48 -People Need People
    BE A GOOD HUMAN, Noah and Kye share their experiences with really good people. Some of them being coaches, mentors, or simply just someone that really wants the best for you and gives you guidance and advice that helps you along the way. Our main takeaway for this episode is to be the change you want to see in the world, be a good human that is there to build people up rather than break them down so you feel better.

  • Episode 47 - Exposure Therapy
    Last week we went over asking about our problem and trying to find a solution
    We cant go to exposure therapy first, we have to establish the problem, the why and then start the conversation about exposure therapy
    Exposure therapy Definition- psychological treatment that was designed to help people confront their fears, when people are fearful they tend to avoid, the feared objects. Although this avoidance might help reduce the fear, in the short term, over the long term it can make the fear become even worse
    From PTSD guidelines
    Steps how to administer
    Make a list
    Build a fear ladder (arrange the list from least scary to most scary)
    Ex length of time, time of day, environment, who is with you
    Facing fears, starting with the least fearful thing on the least
    Practice
    Reward brave behavior
    Repeat, go to second fear etc
