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 #1) we discuss… · How Socrates set the standard for what it means to live a good life· How a guy named Milo used a baby bull to begin the weight training revolution· What the ancient Greeks used the gymnasium for· How our reductionists mindset is keeping us from becoming our best selves· So much more…Be sure to connect with Thriveology and Good Wolf Radio on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube

We recently reviewed the 14 Natural Laws of Health & Fitness. These laws were distilled from our previous sessions where we covered topics from changing identity to overcoming obstacles to counting calories. The Natural Laws apply to all people at all times. To get your copy of the 14 Natural Laws in PDF, go to www.thriveology.us/goodwolfradio and enter your email. It’s not an understatement to say that the decisions you make in life will dictate the outcome of health, wealth, and longevity. While we all understand that to some degree, it’s hard to appreciate how much your decisions are impacting your long-term outcomes because…well…those outcomes take a long time to show up. So learning to make better decisions sooner than later is going to help you in the short AND long term. But there are a BUNCH of different factors that influence decision making, from your emotions to your hunger to the way you were brought up to where you currently live. And learning how to control those states and bias’s to guide you to better decisions is necessary for your long-term success. That’s what we’ll be discussing in the 3-part series, the states, traits, and deeply in-grained beliefs that lead us to making the decision we make AND how we can overcome those areas to help us better decisions moment-to-moment and in the future. In this episode (part #3) we discuss: · The importance of taking a deep breath from time to time· How to 10 minutes can lead to a better decision· What forests and trees have to do with decision making· Aligning your values and goals to keep your progress on track· So much more…

Over the course of the previous 8 weeks, we’ve covered an area of topics. From showing up to finding motivation to counting calories to overcoming obstacles, all of these topics have helped us achieve higher levels of health and fitness mastery as we integrate new ideas on how to make them better.

But we only REALLY build knowledge when we recall what we’ve learned so we can refine the knowledge and turn it into wisdom. Because knowledge is only wisdom once it’s put into action.

And that’s what this week is all about. We’re going to put a “pause” on new learning so we can review our previous lessons and recall the strategies that we’ve gleaned from each one. I’ve put these strategies into a neat sequence we’re calling “The Natural Laws of Health & Fitness”. To learn more about what a “natural law” is, be sure to watch part #1 of this series!

In this episode of The Natural Laws (part #3) we discuss…

• What your habits have to do with the color of your health

• Why movement makes us human

• How calories are the same…but not equal

• The equation the determines your rate of aging

• So much more…

The process of aging can be very challenging, especially if we don’t follow some basic rules and guidelines to keep ourselves on the straight and narrow. For the most part, we think we know what to expect when it comes to the aging process. However, what society tells us “aging” looks like may not be true.

That’s why it’s important to look at aging through more than one lens. Age as a number is only part of the equation, and a small part at that. There are 4 dimensions of aging worth considering. And if you can find ways to influence at least 2 of these 4 dimensions, then you’ll be well on your way to living a healthy, empowered life well into your later years.

In this episode on Why We Age I interview Jan Tiefermann. Jan has been a Member of the Thriveology Pack for almost 10 years. She’s inspiration to anyone, young or older, looking to maintain optimal health as they age. In this episode (part #3) we discuss…

· Why Jan chooses to learn a new hobby each year

· How Jan has changed her mind on motivation

· The thing that keep Jan energetic beyond 60

· Why strength has become an important focus in her training routine

· So much more…
