The Optimal Performance Guide

Hey guys we are back! First off thank you so much for all the support with the podcast! I really enjoy doing it so I’m so grateful to receive such positive feedback!

This week we have Dr. David Spiegel who is the Medical Director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at Stanford School of Medicine. David is a world re-noun psychiatrist with over 40 years of clinical and research experience so we are so lucky to have this time with him.

The main focus of this episode was to dive into hypnosis because David is a world leader in this domain and I feel like there is a big misconception around what exactly hypnosis is and what its about. So hopefully its more clear after listening to this episode. And I’m a big believer in specifically self-hypnosis…which is a tool that you can access at any time.. any place… to create profound changes in your state of being. You can specifically and consciously target habits you want to change, you can modulate pain in your body…there are so many ways to utilize this powerful tool that we discuss.

I hope that you guys enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

Exploring the quantum realm and "master algorithm" which gives you access to the wisdom of great spiritual teachers with the brilliant mathematical physicist Spiros Michalakis.

Im honored to have Dr. Rudy Tanzi on the show today.

Co-Director of the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease

And At Harvard Medical School

Rudy is a professor of Neurology and holds the Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy chair

Early in his career, Dr. Tanzi worked with Dr. James Gusella to discover the first 5 genetic markers in the entire human genome and used them to find the disease gene for (Huntington’s disease). He then went on to discover the first Alzheimer’s disease (AD) gene, and several others.

Rudy and his team were the first to use human stem cells to create a brain organic model of AD dubbed

“Alzheimer’s in a Dish”

This model has made drug screening for AD much faster and more effective. Using this system, Dr. Tanzi has developed several novel therapies for AD. And is involved in several companies using cutting edge technology to impact the main cause of AD other neurologic diseases…neuroinflammation.

In this episode Rudy is very gracious with his time and mind.. Its not everyday that you get to hear a brilliant mind that has done so much in the world of science but also has the depth… the self awareness….clarity of intention and practice to really optimize his time on the planet.

It will quickly become clear that Rudy is passionate about a specific intention…being of service

And this intention is a real anchor point in his life.

We cover a lot in this episode from science to soul. We talk about:

-the brain and other organs in the body

-genetics and epigenetics

-the gift of self awareness

-the soul

-keys to success

-gift of music

And much more!! Alright enough talking, lets get to the show.

Ok guys today on the show its honor to sit down with my good friend Ben Bruno.

Ben is an exceptional trainer working with some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment but even more important he is a very kind person that really goes out of his way to help his clients and friends. You know starting this podcast he was one of the first people to leave a nice review and share with his social platforms which was definitely not something I asked him to do. He just did it to support me and it feels good to have a friend like that. So thats the kind of guy Ben is!

In this episode you will get to know a bit about Ben’s background…where he is from and some real adversity that he has overcome in his life.
