Rebalanced

In this episode of the podcast I discuss the concept of neuroplasticity - your brains ability to change & reorganise so you can learn new skills, languages, & habits. Learning a new skill can be difficult, especially as you age.

Why do children find it so easy to pick up new skills, with very little effort? Once over 25 years old your brains ability to learn new things changes as patterns are becoming concrete & automatic. However, it is still possible to pick up new skills it just takes a little more focused effort.

This episode of the podcast discusses how you can accelerate learning through different techniques & behaviours, as well as the details on how to optimise your brain for change. Are you planning on picking up a new instrument or new skill? Learning a new language or just want to change some of your bad habits?

If so, this episode is for you!

Meditation is a powerful mental training tool to improve concentration, productivity, creativity and performance. The ancient practice of meditation has been mixed in through many religions in different forms - prayer, breathing, mantra. The idea of stilling the mind and focusing on a point is much the same throughout though.

In this episode of the podcast I discuss the benefits of meditation. I don't only speak on the ones people say they feel, but the actual changes that happen in your brain after meditating, and how these connect to the reported, subjective benefits that people notice. The brain physically adapts to meditation, it reorganises & reforms to improve your ability to focus, be calm & be present.

Furthermore, I go into detail on how I started my practice, the difficulties I had before, what I focus on during and tips to help you get started.

In this episode of the podcast I discuss breathing habits & respiration rate. Most of us don't take much note of how we breath. However poor breathing habits can have an effect on our health, wellbeing & even our sexual performance.

Why is breathing through your mouth so bad for your health? Why is nictric oxide good for my health? Where in the body is nitric oxide produced and how can I take advantage of that? How are my breathing habits affecting my stress levels? I go through answers for each of the above in this episode.

I discuss how over-breathing can affect your health and recovery. As well as different techniques to improve your ability to breath and utilise all of the oxygen consumed.

This episode is for anyone who is involved in sports/exercise, is over stressed or wants to gain that edge on their performance.

In this episode of the Mobility Experiment I discusses the pain experience. A sensation all of us feel & experience but few of us understand what may be contributing to our pain. In this episode I detail the history of pain, from our ancestors knowledge to our understanding of it now. I discuss factors affecting pain, how to reduce it. This episode also discusses factors that may be contributing to pain as well as the physiological changes that happen in persistent/chronic pain.

What do you feel is the reason you consistently get pain in the same areas e.g. lower back/shoulder? Have you stopped to consider what is going on in your life at the moment and how that may be affecting it?

Furthermore I discuss the need to include proprioceptive & vestibular work as well as how to use the brain to get the best results. This episode is packed with information that I'm sure you'll enjoy.

In this episode of the podcast I discuss the cognitive & physiological benefits of sleep, as well as how sleep is linked to learning & recovery, and the effect it can have on your mood & pain levels. On top of that I talk about a couple of different ways you can improve sleep quality, quantity & hygiene, to maximise the benefits of this state.

If you're wondering why is getting 7-8 hours of sleep so important for performance, mental & physical health and why the research links it to conditions such as depression & anxiety this episode is for you.
