In this episode, I got to the very edge of the topics from last week. We were talking about healing and training last week and this week, I wanted to talk about the brain's effect on the body as well as our lives. I explored a book by Amanda Blake titled "Your Body Is Your Mind." Through it, I talked about curing cancer with your brain and what events during puberty might have had a lasting effect on your posture and even your job performance.

Happy Thanksgiving! This episode addressed something that I talked about on Monday's episode about healing. I learned while I was a school psychologist one very important thing about helping people and I want to share that with you today. Hopefully, it will bring you value if you are currently healing from an injury or recovering from emotional trauma.

 Training is a lot more than exercise. In today's episode, I talked to a lot of people and got a lot of opinions that led to a lot of topics that I wanted to discuss. I decided to narrow them down to the best ways to improve your mental and physical health. It's what you think, but not exactly the way you're probably thinking.

Today was the verdict...now I've got your attention, let me tell you that it doesn't matter. This episode was about outrage and how many of us should simply stick to trying to make our lives a little happier. I'll tell you the easiest way to do it in today's episode. 

How do you breathe? In today's episode, I discussed proper breathing methods for particular exercises. It's important that you breathe properly to prevent injuries, but it is even more valuable for your posture and everyday life. Listen in to find out what breathing technique is right for you.

In today's episode, I talk about what happens your immune system kicks in. It can do it for a number of reasons. Pathogens, irritants, or even trauma can all cause your immune system to go on alert. Today we'll find out what happens when it does. 

In today's episode, I talk about a conversation I had with a colleague about what makes a good trainer. I give you my analysis here on what you should be looking for a trainer to help you with and/or what you should be working on by yourself.

I'm acknowledging that I've skipped a few Fridays and I'm going to talk about over-exertion as well as burnout. This happens in life as well as in the gym and I've got a few short shares on how to combat the monster that makes us feel down when we're "down." 

In today's episode, we're going straight fitness. I'm talking about identifying injuries, possibly preventing them, and treating them if they pop up. Listen closely if you have any nagging injuries, this might help you get over the hump to recovery. 

In the last episode, I talked about motivation. I realize that this is a bit of a nuanced topic, so I decided to dive a little deeper and talk about what we deem as good or evil.
