Today's guest is Dr Cordelia Peel!

Cordelia has been a medical doctor for over a decade working in acute specialties including emergency medicine, trauma and stroke. Her medical training enabled her to work in South America where she trekked up mountains, slept in a hammock and delivered medical care to local indigenous people, and also in Zimbabwe, where she carried our research to facilitate CRADLE (Community Blood Pressure Monitoring in Rural Africa; Detection of Underlying Pre-eclampsia) which has now taken off in over 10 countries with the purpose of reducing maternal mortality and morbidity.

Whilst Cordelia loved aspects of being a doctor, deep down she wasn't feeling deeply fulfilled or having the impact in the world that she desired. She was aware that there was something more to her, that she wasn't fulfilling her true potential or living the kind of lifestyle she wanted to.

As a consequence of being stuck for some years, Cordelia suffered from high-functioning depression and eventually found herself on the burnout continuum. Shortly after she lost her 47 year old brother to suicide. With such a stark reminder of how short life can be, Cordelia decided to take her career and her life in a new direction.

Cordelia now works with achievers who are feeling trapped, restricted or compromised in some way to excel, become extraordinary and create ever-increasing levels of both health, wellbeing and external success. As a high-performance coach, her work is dedicated to helping people get their sparkle and their 'A game' back and achieve success whilst maintaining a healthy life and positive relationships.

She now lives a nomadic life but plans to settle down in one of her favourite cities, Barcelona in the near future.

I would like to dedicate this episode to the memory of Dr Peel's brother.

Here are some key points that I would advise you to concentrate on

• We all have attachments to things that were shaped from our childhood. Many are OK and help create your personality, but many are currently holding you back from what you want to achieve in life.
• Your attachment style is shaped from your earliest memories and interactions with people from being a baby onwards.
• t's not always them that you miss when you think about an ex, it can be how they made you feel that you miss them! This blew away my oneitis I was feeling for an ex when he said: "But if we don't get good Love, warmth, bonding, nurturing openness acceptance, trust and security in our relationships. All the things that secure attachment would give us ... Start losing all of those benefits and we think about that 1 time that we got it from that one person and usually the most ah the most manipulative people ... it's like heroin ... you've craved it all your life and now you can't stop thinking about it and you think about that person for the rest of your life when you're lonely when you're hurting. And you're lost. This is why people go back to their bad exes and this is why people stay with a bad partner is because they've been addicted to that person through oxytocin so you asked me the process of fixing that well you need to learn as you fix your attachment how to bond to your family and friends"
• "Vulnerability does not mean just crying, vulnerability means sharing something painful and asking for assistance in solving it that is what men need to remember."
• "... no matter where you are at in this believing. No matter where are you are at in in hurting and feeling alone and feeling that you don't deserve love or that you'll never find Love I Want to tell you I work with people in their seventies who are changing right now ... I've worked with people who've killed multiple people. And still find that pathway through and change and build a better life I Want to tell you that I work with people in their sixties who say I never had kids and I don't know what the purpose of life is now and we find it. There is never a point where it's too late as long as you are breathing if you just believe even a tiny amount that you can change. ... You can change and you can find the better pieces and build a better life. No matter where you are. So if you feel like it's hopeless. Please don't feel that. It is not hopeless. Not by a long shot."
• "Instead of an illness system of mental health I was looking at a response system with mental health that mental illnesses were responsive and and responding to environmental issues and attachment issues. So when we fix the attachment issues mental ill mental illnesses quote unquote started to go away."
• Your attachment style shapes how you interact with people in society, how you interact with partners in relationships and how you act when people try to connect on a deep level with you.
• You can find Oxycontin outwith a relationship by connecting on a deeper level with your family and friends through having deeper and better conversations with them. "Same thing if you're starving for oxytocin, never go dating starving for oxytocin same thing (like you should never go shopping when hungry) you're going to pick up junk food that's going to make you feel really good at first and then gonna make you feel sick over time ... fill up with oxytocin with family and friends then go out dating build real compatibility. And then slowly build oxytocin bonding in when you have the right person that you can actually trust. That's the right method for getting over an ex and for grabbing the right partner."
• "If you start with the belief that you can never truly connect to another human being and that your entire world is going to be a series of transactions of I'm going to make other people so happy that they will either do what I want or they won't leave me. Your whole world comes down to a ledger sheet about how much you have done to make other people like you and just push and buttons the whole world then feels like a video game that you can never stop playing because you have to keep everybody's meters full everywhere you go. It's exhausting"
• Attachment issues are affecting many men in today's society, but many of the health treatment modalities are not designed to treat the cause, they only treat the symptoms, and Adam looks to not only treat the symptoms but show you what causes it and how to fix the issue.
• A good first step is to look at your past relationships, to see how you interacted as a unit, what went right and wrong, to see how your actions are shaped by your attachment style.
• "It's very common for men with attachment issues to not have close male friends ... Male friends are harder for men with attachment issues because they will push us ... There will be friction. It will be uncomfortable. There will be tension. There will be confrontations and attachment says every confrontation is death so don't ever confront, don't ever do that. That's that's what a lot of men are dealing with."
• I love Adam's take on pick-up, on how its working transactions and not real connection, therefore you are always trying to 'win' rather than actually connecting and leaving something of value: "... when you learn pickup game and red pill and stuff like that, it's just a different system. It doesn't teach you to stop and connect human to human with a woman and build an intimate loving bond. It says do these things and it will make her you know wet all over the place and then she will just be crazy for you ... it's not how humans are supposed to work so no matter how advanced you make the video game no matter how fun you make the video game at the end of the day you are just a man living and pushing buttons and getting fake rewards that just plunge you full of dopamine but give you nothing at the end of the day you don't have human contact. You don't have human bonding. You have no human impact you have no human legacy when you die you will have left behind a bunch of naked women who will move on to the next guy. And that's it. You don't leave behind people whose lives are fundamentally changed. You don't leave behind people who say that was a man of honor and because he lived honorably he will live on."
• "... attachment is the ability to connect to another human being to give and receive love you start learning this as a child the moment you are born."
• You should use your life goals and your core values to filter potential partners, instead of chasing feelings, you should chase compatibility in these areas, and this will allow you to find deep-level connection.
• Fixing your attachment issues can be life changing but very challenging: "... it is unconditioning the brain from that from that childlike terror that no one will ever love you. That is a level of resistance. That's why people don't fix it on their own ... That's why people need to fix it now so that they don't live with that fear for the rest of their lives."
• Adam's tip on finding the right person for you, by going to the right place hit home to me - the place you look for a partner defines the type of partner you will meet and potentially connect with: "... you approach marriage with a person and dating with a person the same way you would approach co-founding a business imagine you are co-founding the business of marriage. Would you want to find a cofounder for your business drunk in the bathroom at a bar or would you like to find the cofounder for your business in church beside you or spending time with their family quietly or in a in a good self-improvement but class or dancing class. Or somewhere fun or somewhere wholesome. Where would you like to find them?"

Today's guest is Max Miller!

Max Miller is the creator and host of the viral digital series Tasting History with Max Miller on YouTube. Prior to his YouTube stardom, Max was an employee of Walt Disney Studios in the marketing and film distribution departments.

When the COVID-19 stay-at-home order went into effect in Los Angeles, Max was furloughed and began turning his passion for historic dishes into a self-taped video series.

Within weeks of his first video on YouTube, Max's channel and videos reached hundreds of thousands of viewers who wanted to learn more about historic dishes. Max's channel has been covered in outlets like America's Test Kitchen, ABC's Localish, Chowhound, Foodsided, GLAAD, KTLA Morning News, A Hot Dog Is a Sandwich podcast, PopCulture, Rachael Ray, Today, UPROXX, and Yahoo!.

Max currently resides in Los Angeles, California, with his husband, José, and their two cats.

The Show-Notes can be found at https://www.nextlevelguy.com/maxmiller175/(opens in a new tab)

Here are some key points that I would advise you to concentrate on

• Max was inspired by the stories told by his family "You know the passion for history comes from forever ago when I was a little little kid I I think in large part it came from listening to my grandparents my grandpa and and my nana on my mom's side especially would tell me stories of the great depression and world war II and what it was like growing up in the 1920's and 1930's and it was just such a foreign world to you know an 8 year old living in Phoenix in 1990 or whatever. But the way that they told it I was able to be there. They were such good storytellers and ever since then I've always seen history just as stories now. "
• Max is self-taught when it comes to making videos, cooking and baking etc. He found the resources he needed to learn as the need to use these skills came up. It is OK not to know everything, you can admit you need help, find suitable coaches and experts to assist where needed, fill in knowledge gaps and improve, even if working towards that 1% improvement every day, you are growing and developing.
• I love Max's channel in that it allows you to understand our history and how our diets and food preparation and cooking methods are shaped, and how things may change in the future.
• Max started cooking when he watched a well known TV show: "... when it comes to cooking. It actually started with the great british bake off I've always been a fan of eating but I had never baked or cooked anything until I saw that show and and I think it was. Excuse me the accessibility of of that show. It's you know it's so different than an american cooking competition where it's like take these 5 ingredients with squid ink and paper clips and make a gourmet meal"
• If you want to make videos but feel nervous, why not do what Max does and pretend you are speaking to a friend instead of a camera, and he chats like an interaction rather than filming, and takes the stress of himself and just has a conversation.
• Are you inspired by Max to cook more and not sure where to start as you aren't very experienced in the kitchen? Then Max advises "... soups and stews are just the easiest and most forgiving thing to start with there's there's little work that you have to do. It's usually just put everything into the pot and let it go."
• COVID actually helped Max in getting furloughed, and almost forcing his time to be spent on his new channel. I think we need to remember that all threats can be considered as opportunities if we reframe them correctly.
• Curiosity is a diamond to develop within yourself. Max talks about finding his interest spiking when he finds a topic or area he knows little about and loves that he gets to learn and grow during these episodes. You won't change if you stay in your comfort zone, so you need to step outside what you know, become a beginner again and chase learning and curiosity to find out more in life!
• The food our ancestors eat, can be a great way to learn about ourslelves, our culture, our health and where we have come from.
• Fear will always be there when you need to step outside of your comfort zone, the top experts I have spoken to say it is always there. They find that acknowledging it, some actually give it a name and chat to it, and fear loses it power over you. Speak to your fear, try box breathing, realise the fear is there to keep you safe, so figure out how to reduce potential dangers and go for it.
• "...you say history is written by the winners. Um, and and. I Do agree that that is so often true, but for me history is written by the people who write things down because not every the the Mongolian Empire they were the winners but they didn't write anything down so we actually everything we know or most of what we know about them comes. From the people they conquered who were writing things down so most of it's not very flattering."
• "... you know I was very fortunate that my parents always had us trying new foods and and different things different different types of cuisine. So you know i'm. I haven't always just been a macaroni craft macaroni and cheese and fticaks kind of kind of guy. But um so I've I've always enjoyed trying new things but no matter how delicious something is a new food is. Is never going to give you the same feeling as the food that you ate when you were a kid that just makes you feel safe and you know hindins ketchup on fresht fries or butter. It's the the stuff that you grow up with is. Has a different power over you and that is something that is universal I mean mexican food in general I I grew up eating a lot of mexican food I get a different feeling when I eat it. It's not necessarily that it tastes better though. It does. But it's also the feeling the emotions that are attached to that food"
