Our episode topic is HRV (Heart Rate Variability). What is HRV and why is it becoming an important measurement in the chronic illness and autoimmune world. HRV is an important diagnostic measurement that reflects how adaptable your body can be. If your heart rate is highly variable, this is usually evidence that your body can adapt to many kinds of changes. People with high heart rate variability are usually less stressed, happier and healthier.  One of the things you will notice about Salim is how calm, happy and centered he is. We are going to learn how he uses HRV to maintain his sense of wellbeing as well as pick his brain on how to use biohacking methods and mental health tools to achieve the ideal HRV measurement.

In the latest episode of The Flip N' Shift Podcast, my guest is Jim McFarland.  

Jim McFarland is an award winning shoe repair and leather repair service craftsman that has been serving customers in Florida since 1967.  Jim’s shoe repair craftsmanship has received awards at the highest levels in Europe and the US.  Jim received two gold medals in the Inter Schuh Service International trade show and competition in Germany. 

His latest award in June of 2023 was a competition where 46 master craftsmen from 16 countries participated in the competition and McFarland was the only award winner from the US.  Jim’s following on social media is over a million followers and his reels have attracted hundreds of millions of viewers and received praise from famous celebrities.  

We are discussing what is considered not only one of the oldest recycling industries in the world but one of the world’s oldest crafts, shoe cobbling.  In recent publications such as The Industry Fashion, they predict a market growth of 5x its current market value which is estimated to be $77 Billion Dollars by 2025 with the resale of high end clothing, shoes and accessory pieces.  The value is placed on the condition of the pieces. 

Many will spend what is needed to restore to almost like new condition,  However, due to a massive decline in trades such as  seamstress, shoe cobblers and restorative jewelers most will need to seek repair and restoration out of state or even outside of the country.  So, we are chatting with Jim McFarland on his remarkable journey into a successful generational shoe repair business and the challenges he is facing in a demanding field with supply chain issues and less cobblers available to service larger populated regions.

(Cite Sourcing) Since this discovery there have been continuing development of neurofeedback technologies and a deeper understanding of the brain.  Therefore, a growing interest in brainwave entrainment and consciousness hacking more generally has expanded significantly. 

In this episode we will be chatting with Dr. Porter on how brainwave entrainment technology is making it easier for clients to achieve healthier brain performance and processing.  As noted on his website at www.drpatrickporter.com, Dr. Porter’s mission is to help better a billion brains.

 “Within the Catholic Church, there are two types of priests: religious order priests and diocesan priests. A diocese is a group of parishes, or communities, overseen by a bishop. Religious order priests belong to a particular religious order within Catholicism, such as the Franciscans, Dominicans and Jesuits."  www.brescia.edu

Father Sean discusses sexual orientation and the requirements on becoming a priest. We discussed the book, Good Bye, Good Men by Michael Rose. (Available on Amazon, https://a.co/d/0AAYHWX) (Quote is used as a reference point of discussion)

“Michael Rose discusses the causes of the chronic priest shortage, including the misuse of psychological screening and what appears to be blatant discrimination against the kind of young men who were once considered ideal candidates for the vocation.”

Father Sean discussed his thoughts on the proposed alternate catechism for youth who identify as Homosexual who want to practice the Catholic Faith. (Quote is used as a reference point of discussion.)

"According to the National Catholic Register (July 2017) Father James Martin also known as the “LGBTQAI + priest” in certain publications proposed an alternate catechism for those youth who are homosexuals that want to practice the Catholic Faith."

Other challenges that are hard to admit include a sense of insecurity, loss of emotional validation or self-esteem since they cannot work, exercise, or participate in sport to the same degree, explained David." 

Julie asks "We all go to the gym and follow online exercise regimens that seem to be one size fits all approach.  Which often is the wrong approach to exercise.  You are educating clients on how to be intentional and less reactionary with exercise.  Can you further explain this approach?"

David explains intentional exercise, "Yes, it’s really about awareness and intention. In essence, people need to exercise for their unique situation and body type.  We start with specific assessments in two areas 1) physical and 2) lifestyle or wellness.

The purpose is to help us design a better program and coach more specifically, but more importantly it raises the awareness in a person so they can be more intentional in their choices."
