Today’s episode might be a little bit different than all of the previous ones. Still, it is as insightful as ever, especially because I am joined by the mastermind behind the Keto Kamp movement. I am humbled to be joined by Sean Croxton, a podcast host, author, entrepreneur, and prosperity teacher. I followed his growth and career for the past 8 years, most especially when he still hosts the Underground Wellness Radio, one of the internet’s most popular health podcasts.

 

During his seven years with Underground Wellness, Sean penned the still-popular Dark Side of Fat Loss ebook, started the JERF (Just Eat Real Food) movement, and hosted seven online summit events, including The Thyroid Sessions, Digestion Sessions, and The Depression Sessions.

 

Now, Sean is the host of The Quote of The Day Show, the #1 daily motivational podcast, featuring short inspirational teachings from the best of the best speakers. He is also the creator of Money Mind Academy, an 8-week course that will completely change your relationship with money.

 

In this episode, Sean shares the story of how his hardwork and determination got him to where he is today. He also explained the science behind developing a habit while we dive deep into physiology, neurocardiology, brain chemistry and how it is connected with your keto diet and fasting. Tune in!

In this episode, you'll discover:

 

[00:55] Sean Croxton, the early years

• Sean’s mother worked three jobs.
• • By the time he wakes up in the morning, his mom is already at work. When he goes to bed at night, his mom is still at work. 
• “If I didn’t have that experience of living at the poverty line, I probably wouldn’t have the value that I have on abundance.”
• His early years was a great learning experience for him.
• • It showed him the value of earning money. 
  • It showed him the freedom of earning money.
  • It showed him that in order to have more money, you gotta do more service.

 

[8:18] The audio clip that helped changed Sean’s life 

• In November of 2009, his friend, Antonio, sent him an audio clip of John Demartini.
• “The amount of money that you have will always be in direct proportion to the quality and quantity of the service you provide.”

 

[17:10] After graduating from college, Sean became a personal trainer.

• His uncle and his aunt were his biggest influences on why he took health in college. 
• As a personal trainer, Sean had to build up the courage to talk to people when suffering with social anxiety.
• He had his first panic attack while doing some personal training.
• • His doctor prescribed him Prozac but what he really wanted was Paxil.
  • While training his last client, he found himself in the midst of a “Prozac-induced” panic attack.
• His social anxiety isn't completely gone and Sean's ok with that. He prefers to call it introversion.

[22:32] Back in 2008, Sean launched his first show, Underground Wellness Radio.

• The podcast ran for 7 years and he released 348 episodes over this period of time.
• Surprising to most, in 2015 Sean closed up shop with his brand Underground Wellness.
• • “Passions have seasons, and all seasons eventually come to an end.” - Lisa Nichols
  • Sean felt that his passion for interviewing health experts is over. 

 

[26:08] The importance of passion and loving what you do for a living

• If you are not living according to your highest values, it means you are not really living. 
• • You are living by social idealisms.
  • You are living by something outside of you.
  • Life is too short for that.
• A lot of us are trapped in the ‘how’
• • When you are fully aligned with your values, the ‘how’ just shows up.

 

[27:23] Sean's motivational influences after shutting down Underground Wellness

• Sean was super deep into reading books by John F. Demartini. 
• • Books by Demartini:
  • How to Make One Hell of a Profit and Still Get to Heaven

 

• The Breakthrough Experience

• The Gratitude Effect

• The Values Factor

 

• He also read books by Bob Proctor.
• • Books by Bob Proctor:

 

• You Were Born Rich

• The Art of Living

 

• Sean dived deep into physiology, neuroscience and brain chemistry.
• • On his new YouTube Channel, Mind Kamp, he flipped the focus to personal development with a sprinkle of health.

 

[31:22] Neurocardiology: Interaction between the brain and the heart

• In the communication between the brain and the heart, 90% of it goes from the heart to the brain.
• There’s a little brain inside our hearts that stores information, memories, personalities, etc.
• Our hearts are our point of attraction. 
• Heart rate variability is the physiological phenomenon of variation in the time interval between heartbeats.
• • We don’t want these to be to low. That would mean we are unhealthy. 
  • Emotions dictate your heart rate variability. 
• Measure your heart rate variability through:
• • Oura Ring
  • emWave2

[34:11] Adding love and gratitude into your keto diet and fasting

• Meditation comes a long way.

emWave2:

• emWave 2 helps with the analysis of HRV that reflects heart-brain interaction and autonomic nervous system dynamics, which are particularly sensitive to changes in your emotional state.
• emWave2 technology is based on "the coherence breakthrough". Coherence is a state of synchronization between your heart, brain and autonomic nervous system which has been proven to have numerous mental, emotional and physical benefits.

[36:44] Your brain is the record of the past

• The past is literally composed of electrical current that flows in your brain. 
• • These electrical thoughts become your biochemical feelings. 
• How to change these wirings?
• • 1. Relax
  • • Get out of the high beta brain wave state. 
    • Calm down and get into the alpha creative state. 
  • 2. Do your meditation. 

AND MUCH MORE!
