The field of healthcare is moving increasingly in the direction of viewing people holistically, taking into account physical, emotional, relational, spiritual, nutrition, exercise and more. With concepts such as integrative medicine, holistic medicine, somatic body work, healthcare is investing more and more prolonging our “healthspan”. This is the length of time that we live a healthy, functional life, as opposed to lifespan, which is merely how many years you live (regardless of overall health). Evolved Cavemen want to be healthy and functional as long as humanly possible!  

Join Dr. John as he explores some cutting edge ideas in pursuit of the best and longest “healthspan” to which we can aspire. This episode focuses on somatic training - ways to train the nervous system to respond more effectively (rather than automatically). His guest, Dan Sykes, has spent over a decade training with Russian martial arts GrandMasters, yoga and Feldenkreis method. What he has learned is truly astonishing. 

Topics covered include:

What are the benefits of nervous system training?

Where and how can people begin a journey into nervous system training?

How does trauma impact our nervous system?

How does training your nervous system heal trauma?

How to punch, beat and whip your way into profound relaxation.
