Good Wolf Project

One of the basic struggles many of us have when we’re looking to improve our wellbeing is solving the problems along the way. Whether you’re trying to get rid of some body fat and hit a weight loss plateau, are working toward a deadlift personal record and can’t seem to progress your weights, or are looking to run your first marathon but can’t seem run further than 5 miles without being in pain, the likelihood of you running into a problem is VERY high! So it’s important that we learn to overcome problems as they arise and, over time, become more and more confident in our ability to find solutions we need to. The problem is, many of us look for any and all EXTERNAL reasons as to why we’re having trouble overcoming a problem we run into. This is problem because, about 80% of the time, WE are the problem. In other words, when it comes to problem solving, we get in our own way more often than not. And, until you come to understand how your progress is being held up by YOU, you’ll always have a hard time achieving the things you’re after, whether that’s health and fitness mastery, more wealth, better relationships, or a more fulfilling career. That is going to be the main focus of this upcoming series: how we stand in our own way when we’re trying to solve problems and how we can start to move ourselves aside so we can move forward again. Because the longer we stay still, the more likely we’ll end up quitting our endeavor altogether. As Sir Isaac Newton tells us, an object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, unless an equal and opposite force acts upon it. In this episode of Better Problem Solving (part #2) we discuss… · Why you need to learn to accept your REALITY and move on· How to recognize a symptom verses the root problem· The 3 steps to take to develop a plan of ACTION· The MOST important step in ALL of problem solving that you’re missing· So much more… Be sure to connect with Thriveology and Good Wolf Radio: Thriveology: http://bit.ly/3TILsVR Good Wolf Radio: http://bit.ly/42I0lMf Instagram: https://bit.ly/3K6XGVl Facebook: https://bit.ly/3LKDpGh

For many, many years society was led to believe that fat was the cause of all of our heart issues and that eating too much of it would make us fat and unhealthy. Fast forward many decades later and it turns out that fat plays a smaller role in heart disease than we thought and that the real culprit behind our weight-gaining society is sugar. Sugar has a consumer product has only been around for a few hundred years. In the beginning sugar was pretty scarce so only the rich could gain access to it. It wasn’t until the late 1800s and early 1900s that sugar became abundantly available for the world to consume. It was also at this time that the then slow but steady rise in obesity and diabetes began. That is until the advent of sugary drinks and an abundance of ultraprocessed Frankenfoods entered the market. Then obesity and diabetes began a much more rapid ascend. While sugar is the ONLY culprit in the story of obesity, it is most certainly one of the major ones, if not THE major one. Which is why, in this series, we start a conversation about the effects that sugar have on the body. In this episode of the Sugar Effect (part #3) I talk with Dr. Steve Hannegan. Steve is a Doctor of Chiropractic and is certified in Applied Clinical Nutrition. We discuss… · How Steve got into chiropractic to begin with· Why the medical system is only fixing surface-level problems· What happens when the liver stores too much sugar· How sugar impact the gut to make you addicted· Strategies to reducing sugar intake· So much more… Follow Dr. Steve Hannegan Performance Chiropractic: http://bit.ly/3lR4nBD Facebook: https://bit.ly/3Zs9vtr Be sure to connect with Thriveology and Good Wolf Radio: Thriveology: http://bit.ly/3TILsVR Good Wolf Radio: http://bit.ly/42I0lMf Instagram: https://bit.ly/3K6XGVl Facebook: https://bit.ly/3LKDpGh

In this series we do our first book review, covering the wonderful book by Johann Hari, Stolen Focus. Here’s how I would sum up the book in 3 sentences: Our focus is deteriorating which is leading to a lower quality of life. The main culprit of our focus-attrition are digital devices, followed by poor sleep. lack of nutrition, environmental toxins, and a sedentary lifestyle. If we want to reclaim our focus, we need to start by taking personal responsibility for our actions and, at the same time, bond together to help enact regulations that prioritize Social Growth over Economic Growth. Over the course of the next 3 episodes we will look at 10 nuggets of wisdom we can pull from Stolen Focus. There are countless bits of great information in the book but, sadly, we don’t have the time to review everything. If you’d like to download the notes for the Stolen Focus book review, go to Thriveology.us/goodwolfbooks and find Stolen Focus notes download. In this episode (Part #3) we talk about: · The impact that sleep, diet, and pollution have on your focus· How sports are killing your childs growth as a human· The new type of goal you need to be focusing on starting today· Why “you get what you fight for”· So much more… Connect with Johann Hari: Instagram: https://bit.ly/40gzPrL Buy the book, Stolen Focus: https://amzn.to/3z4n87t Be sure to connect with Thriveology and Good Wolf Radio: Thriveology: http://bit.ly/3TILsVR Good Wolf Radio: http://bit.ly/42I0lMf Instagram: https://bit.ly/3K6XGVl Facebook: https://bit.ly/3LKDpGh

The Greek Philosopher, Socrates, once said that it’s disgraceful to grow old and never fully develop the body’s strength and beauty to their highest limits. Part of the reason we don’t embody this belief today is that we view the body as a curse and not a blessing. We believe as a society that aging happens because we get older, when, in reality, aging happens because we are disgraceful to our bodies as we get older. As Socrates was alluding to, the human body is meant to be challenged and pushed to the test. Without this external resistance we never find out what we’re truly made of and, worse, deteriorate into the thing that we loath the most…someone who is dependent on others because we’re unable to help ourselves. Of course, it doesn’t have to be this way. We can, and should, strive to be our best through the regular training and challenging of our bodies. To start doing this, though, it means shifting our mindset. We currently view exercise as thing we HAVE to do to beat disease. But, until we shift our mindset to exercise and training as the things we GET to do to become our best selves, physically, mentally, spiritually, relationally, then we’ll have a hard time making exercise a regular part of our lives. In this series, we begin what will end up being a long conversation about weight training. We discuss the importance of the training mindset, how training as a way of life was developed over 2500 years ago, and why you need resistance in your life if you’re going to become your best self possible. In this episode (part #3) I interview Bret Tiefermann, a Member of the Thriveology Pack and someone who has seen significant improvement in their life thanks to weight training… · How Bret realized it was time to start prioritizing his health· The types of lifts Bret uses at age 64 to optimize his body· Why lifting weights IMPROVED eliminated his tendonitis shoulder pain· How Bret has seen a massive change in his every day routine due to weight training· So much more… Be sure to connect with Thriveology and Good Wolf Radio on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube
