Optimal Performance

In this episode of the OPP I talk with Dr. Michael Fossel.  We have an amazing conversation about longevity, a possible cure for Alzheimers and other cognitive degenerative diseases.

For this week's episode of the Optimal Performance Podcast, we have Brett Kelly, the strength and conditioning coach for the US Ski & Snowboarding team. They just got back from winning a couple of gold medals over at the Olympics and Bretty works with free ski half pipe, free ski slope style and ariels.

We get into some of the finer details about strength and conditioning and for athletes like this that are doing such unique movements on skis, (ariels is a crazy flipping inverted sport that looks like this), Brett really knows his stuff.

We talk about how to maximize for snow sports, how to gain as much possible strength in the core, exercises involved in that strengthening of the core, and more. If you like to ski or snow board or just love to dork out on world class strength and conditioning, this is the episode for you.

Get an insider look at what happens inside the Olympics. How do people get there? What does an Olympic schedule look like? Find out this and more on this's weeks episode of the Optimal Performance Podcast!

For this week's episode of the Optimal Performance Podcast, we have Brett Kelly, the strength and conditioning coach for the US Ski & Snowboarding team.

We're really going there this week...

Our conversation with Paul Austin takes us down the rabbit hole of microdosing: using sub-perceptual doses of psychedelics to perform at a higher level.

Our specific and narrow look explores which psychedelics and at what doses to experience different effects. We discuss the different application of microdosing psilocybin, LSD, and MDMA, to perform at a higher level, think creatively, and reduce depression and anxiety.

For those of you pushing the boundaries of your brain and performance, this is a must hear discussion.

For this week's episode, I sit down with Dr. Bob Greczanik. I'd be willing to bet Bob is the most influential sports specialist that you've never heard of. He's worked with sports teams like the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Milwaukee Bucks to help their players operate at a higher level.

We get into NFL athletes that he's helped speed up their recovery and I get poked with "antennae" for an actual accupuncture session. Dr. Bob is a modern master. He's educated in western AND eastern medicine and knows more about the flow of energy in the body and the breath than anyone I've ever met.

Keep an open mind and stay tuned in because there is a TON of information and technicques packed into this episode that you can use to help you perform at a higher level like the breathing method Dr. Bob uses 5 times a day.

This week, I talked to Alon Shabo, founder of Sabaidee, a brand new disruptive company taking the CBD oil industry by transparency. This is the future of medicine. Sabaidee not only wants to help heal through the power of cannabis, they partner with a 501(c)(3) charity to help plant trees for every unit sold.

CBD helps you sleep, relax your muscles. And after talking with Alon, you'll be a sleep zealot like us as well since sleep makes EVERYTHING more optimal.

This week we spoke with Alon Shabo, founder of Sabaidee, makers of CBD Extract.  It is a dropper you put under your tongue to absorb CBD.  This is the future of medicine.

This week we speak with Daniel Chao, co-founder and CEO of Halo Neuroscience and creator of the Halo Sport. It's the world's first and only neural stimulator to accelerate improvement in athletic strength and skills based training.

I've been using a Halo Sport for the last month or so and it's pretty incredible. It sends low grade electric currents into your motor cortex and is used by professional athletes, dancers, musicians, artists, fitness enthusiasts and any other skill based sport/activity you can think of.

The Halo Sport was developed by neuroscientists and bioengineers and the first headset to let you train, hard, smart, and refine your skills so that you can master any physical skill or sport. When you put the Halo Sport on it can accelerate your learning and unlock a higher level of training so you can see faster results.

P.S. We're giving away a Halo Sport (a $500 value)!
