Dysbiosis - a term for a microbial imbalance on or inside the body, such as an impaired micriobiota. In simpler terms, the imbalance of good and bad bacteria in our gut (the bad winning).

 

This is what we discuss today on the show, this is the result of neglecting proper gut health and this can greatly effect the gut brain axis.

 

The Gut - Brain Axis in which we discussed on the previous podcast episode and is important to understand before getting into this episode, so make sure you check that out!

The Gut (our digestive system) and our mind (brain, nervous system) are so connected it is not even funny.

 

The gut brain axis is very real, and it's connect by a few different mechanisms.

 

1. Tryptophan Metabolism

2. Immune System

3. The Vagus Nerve

4. The Enteric Nervous System

 

That's JUST the beginning, today (and in part 2) I explore these connections and how they work in the body. I also dive into what exactly the Gut Microbiome is, and why it's so important to understand this.

Welcome my friends, to all of those who are returning from the Plants & Pr's Podcast, welcome back. If your new, welcome to the show!

 

My name is Tyler Egan. I'm a NASM CPT, but more importantly I'm a human being who gives a damn about you and how you treat your body.

 

You see, there's a much deeper connection between our mind, body and soul, that most people like to neglect. We're all waiting for experiences outside of us to change the person we are inside, but the truth is... nothing is going to do it for you, and the person you want to be is already inside of you.

 

The key to this all is you discovering that person.

 

You see the human body is the single greatest thing we're given, and SOOO many abuse it. Not even just that, but human beings are so fucking incredible.

 

The potential we have is literally limitless, and I want to help you recognize that potential and take control of your life!

Every morning I remind myself that I have to go to war. Not with another person, or a country (because I would sorely lose haha), but with myself. I have to go to war with myself because of the voices that can sneak their way into my head, and I'd be willing to bet many of you do too. In today's world there's so much ease in being content or average, it's been normalized and is now "weird" to others when you want to strive for greatness. P.S. This will be the last episode of the Plants & PR's podcast, I will be rebrand after this, so stay tuned for whats to come next. As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

If there is one thing I could've understood better prior to my fitness journey it's Habits. What EXACTLY they are, and how they effect me daily! It's really simple too, once you understand how frequently we actually are performing habits or actually being who we think are (or acting). It all starts with you. In order to see success with your health & fitness goals it REQUIRES you to cultivate the right habits, after all that's essentially what taking this journey is. Creating new and long term habits. "Making Health Habitual""How Long Does it Take to Form a Habit""What is Dopamine: Understanding the Feel Good Hormone""Habit Formation""Creating Healthy Habits" As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

More recentely I've been doing mobility/stability related videos on IGTV, YouTube, and Facebook. These videos have been addressing (what I view as) some of the most common movement faults I see, and while it may not be hurting you now, I don't want to see it rear it's ugly head later. Instead I'm taking the more proactive approach and showing others how they can negate and reverse some of the joint issues and pains they may deal with on a regular basis. Foot Coffins - Hip Stability - Part 1 - IGTV Foot Coffins - Ankle Mobility - Part 2 - YouTube As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

This one was not by request, but it was something I wanted to fully comprehend better to better relay this message to any (and all) of you! Today I discuss your new secret weapon to fat loss (although it's not much of a secret) and that's NEAT or non exercise activity theermogenesis. In simpler terms, the energy (or calories) we burn when not exercising. I give what it is and the difference it can make when it comes to total calorie burned at the end of the day and some ways you can incorporate more of it! Links: The Role NEAT place in Fat LossMetabolic Adaptation on Weight Loss How to Boost Your Metabolism with NEATNEAT in Obesity ManagementHarvard Article11 Benefits of Walking As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

Okay, I'll apologize in advance for this little short one with the click bait title. I'll admit it to it all. This is just something for you to entertain, a thought that is worth keeping in the back of your head for a bit and seeing what you think later. It really does set you up for a huge win each and everyday. As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

I knew sleep was important for recovery and overall well being, but  I did not know how absolutely vital and tricky it can be! I learned so much, how certain daily activities and substances can play a role in our sleep (i.e. exercise, caffeine, blue light), and how we may just be setting our self up for you failure every single night before bed. I also left you with some tips and mindset ideas that I use to get myself out of bed and moving every morning. Here's the Articles/Sources I read: Journal of Sleep Medicine Study on Caffeine Timing How Blue Light plays a Role in Sleep (Harvard) What are Neurotransmitters? What is the Circadian Rhythm? What You Need to Know About Melatonin! Thermoregulation Study on Sleep Disorders As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan

This episode was a request, and before we go any further I'm completely honored that somebody would want me to discuss a topic of this magnitude. Mindset is such an overlooked aspect of a health and fitness journey (and life honestly) that it needs to be the center of our attention more, it needs to be discussed more, and it needs to be changed! Definitions of the Two Gratifications Treating Yourself Is A Trap (Episode Link) As always, Connect with me elsewhere!!!! Podcast Instagram Page Instagram: @Tyler_EganTwitter: @tyler_egan2LinkedIn Page: Click thisFacebook Page: @VeganEganYouTube: Tyler Egan
