33 min - #152: Total Sexy Health in a Totally Challenging Time – Udo ErasmusThe older I get the more I believe the saying, “If you don’t have your health you don’t have anything!” Without your health you miss out on important experiences and relationships! Today’s guest shares how to get totally, rather than partially, healthy. He also talks about how health can make you sexier!https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/manalive/Udo_Erasmus.mp3Show notesThe more I investigate my own health, the more I see that for most of my life I’ve only had a partial picture of health.When I went to the doctor for knee pain I was sent to get an x-ray and to a physical therapist, but it wasn’t until I started exploring food choices that created inflammation, as well as how I sit, breathe, etc. that I started to heal the pain.Years ago when I was having pelvic pain I came to see that many of the triggers are emotional, not just physical. Sadly I didn’t figure this out until I went to a urologist for incredibly painful physical procedures.Our medical system is extremely compartmentalized. It focuses more on disease management than creating healthy people, says today’s Man Alive podcast guest Udo Erasmus.Udo has been focusing on a TOTAL view of health for decades. He has been working with everything from biology to spirituality and has an understanding of health that is more holistic and inclusive than most practitioners I’ve studied.In this conversation we discussed…* The 8 key factors of Total Sexy Health* Why true health is even more important in this day and age amidst Covid and climate change* The key to feel at peace no matter who you’re with or what situation you’re in* Which parts of us need the most attention for well being and a long life* Udo’s deeply touching story of escape during WWII and his life mission to find peace and healthWhen you are done, check out this Man Alive episode: Life Force: The Key to High Performance.

However, we are making it work as best we can and discussing how we are building resilience and strength in this wild time.It’s also been a great time to take a deeper look at what is most important to me, and what I really want in my career, relationship and living situation. In the process of discovery I’ve set some new goals for myself. I’ve also realized that setting goals sometimes makes me nervous because I haven’t always accomplished what I’ve set out to do!On today’s Man Alive Podcast I wanted to bring you an expert who talks about goal setting that actually works. It seems especially important in this time of chaos and challenge! It’s one thing to set goals in “normal” times. It’s another to set goals in times when the ground seems hard to find.Gregg Clunis, author and host of the wildly popular Tiny Leaps, Big Changes Podcast, joined me to discuss his goal setting framework that allows you to be more effective and includes self-empathy, rather than beating yourself up!In this conversation we discussed…* Gregg’s LEAP framework for powerful goal setting* What many people do that creates defeat with their goals* How including empathy for yourself allows you to be more effective and happier* How to be simultaneously data driven and have a healthy mindset* Gregg’s personal experience with his weight loss goalsI remember a coach friend of mine, Rich Livin, saying that he helps people dream bigger than they ever have and take smaller steps than they ever imagined they would.Sometimes accomplishing goals takes finding the right system, expanding to have a longer-term view or having more clarity about why you want what you want!
