72. Krista Tippett - The Connective Tissue Is What Shows Us What’s Possible - On Being Mar 25, 2020

We are honored to have Krista Tippett on Health Gig. She is the creator and host of the highly acclaimed public radio program and podcast On Being, which features conversations with theologians, scientists and artists about spirituality, community, creativity and how we can build a more just and civil society. She is also the curator of the Civil Conversations Project at On Being. Krista Tippett is a Peabody Award winning broadcaster, a New York Times best selling author and a National Humanities Medal recipient, which she received from President Barack Obama in 2014. In today’s podcast we talk about the importance of words, curiosity and questions. With language we have the power to make people’s day or break people’s day. Generous listening actually invites people to make it reasonable for a person to be vulnerable and revealing. The internet was created as a blank slate, but really we need to use the concept of hospitality as a social technology to help people relax and open up, Tippet explains. In this interview, she eloquently highlights the fact that this is a “time of incredible tectonic shifts in the structures and institutions that came out of the 20th century that don't make sense in the 21st century. And in that kind of change, you have a lot of people where the ground beneath their feet is shifting and the ground beneath what they imagined and expected for their children's future is shifting. That's a trauma.”. Tippet’s calling is creating a connective tissue so that “we're learning together, that our learning gets interconnected, that there's cross pollination. Our world does not want to be fractured, right? We have to do bit by bit, five people at a time, 500 people at a time. We have to show what is this other possibility -- and how does that look -- and how do we get there. And then we have to teach each other, how do we get to this and what are the obstacles.” More From Krista Tippet Website: https://onbeing.org Instagram @onbeing Twitter @onbeing Facebook @OnBeing Linkedin On Being Project

64. Zenka Caro - The Future is Better Than Ever, Hop In The Driver's Seat Jan 29, 2020

Zenka is a futurist. She is a thought leader in the future of extended reality, virtual augmented in mixed reality, big picture thinking and exponential change. She works as an advocate for collaboration tools and models which can allow humanity to flourish. In this podcast Zenka admits that people can feel outstripped by all the technology terminology coming through at such a fast pace, but she believes it’s important to remember that there is a brand new opportunity underfoot. Even though it is easy to sit back, companies are actually listening to what we want as consumers. This is our chance to get into the driver’s seat, create a new precedent, and ask for everything we and our communities need to thrive in our lives. She argues, when we step back, things have never been better. We are living twice as long, women are offering a new balance to our decision making, and we have more than enough tools to solve even our biggest challenges. The key is to come together to direct ourselves, rather than letting the technology or autopilot type inertia direct us. In this interview you will learn about the power of our subconscious mind, meditation headsets, voice diagnostic AI, the power of heart and brain coherence, the human genome, and health trackers that give you a window into your emotions. Zenka believes everyone has a gift and a part to play in creating our new future - each little nudge and joyful creation helps get us there.

Mitchell is a former all pro NFL linebacker who early in his career suffered an injury on the field that left him partially paralyzed with his career, body and identity destroyed and the doctors unable to help him. Keith lost his sense of identity and suffered from depression and even suicidal thoughts. A nurse recommended that Keith try controlled breathing, which eventually led him to meditation and yoga.

He explains, “We can't eat money. We can't connect to money, but we can connect to people. We can build a community of people, of conscious thinkers. We can take problems that are happening in our world and we can create a collective and solve them.” Love, specifically self-love, Mitchell explains, naturally goes into other people. What does a fully loved you look like? His new book, The Mindfulness Playbook explains more and will help your turn your world into a playground.

62. Ryan Zimmerman - A Day In The Life of A Baseball Hero - Washington Nationals Jan 14, 2020

Ryan Zimmerman’s nickname is Mr. National. He has been breaking records and playing professional baseball for the Washington Nationals for fifteen years. Last year, Zimmerman helped lead the team to their first ever World Series win and is truly a hometown hero. In this interview Ryan tells us about growing up with athletic parents who pushed him to constantly play outdoors. As a teenager, he found himself learning to cook and help around the house, as is mother was diagnosed with M.S. and confined to a wheelchair. Now, with his own experience as a parent under is belt, he explains that good parenting is really about good listening and showing up daily for your kids in thick and thin. He hopes to show his children that baseball is a great sport because it teaches you that life is not perfect (even though Instagram and Facebook make it seem like that). Failure is an opportunity, he explains. Listen in to learn what a day in the life of a major league baseball hero feels like and why luck happens to those who get out of the backseat, stop blaming people and simply prepare for upcoming opportunities in life.

61. Vinny Ferraro - Is Your Nervous System Hijacking your Life? - Mindfulness Expert Jan 07, 2020

Vinny Ferraro has been a practitioner of insight meditation (vipassanā) since the mid 90’s and he is the co-founder of the Dharma Punxs. He's been the guiding teacher of Sangha in San Francisco for 15 years. He is also a nationally recognized leader in designing and implementing interventions for at-risk adolescents and is a senior trainer for Mindful Schools. Ferraro explains that our nervous system is trying to protect us from danger and it often becomes hyper vigilant. This can make us very uncomfortable in our experience. It can also cause us to check out - run through addiction, relationships, food and a thousand other things. Your mind can literally highjack your life. Ferraro explains that mindfulness is almost a silver bullet because for most all people it can put us back in relationship with ourselves and our bodies and direct our attention to a different dimension of our experience. Then we are freed up to place our attention on things we feel are worthy. Our awareness becomes almost a super power. In this podcast, he also explains that self-compassion and letting go of the tyranny of perfection is critical. Life is not something you can do wrong. Once we're able to see obstacles as doorways, then we see that whatever we think was IN the way IS the way. We can literally turn curses into blessings using the alchemy of presence.

60. Dan Nevins - Can Three Yoga Lessons Change Your Life Forever? Dec 31, 2019

American veteran and highly decorated soldier Dan Nevins is a professional speaker who for over a decade has shared an inspirational message of leadership, perseverance, resilience and overcoming adversity with audiences around the globe. His work with professional and business communities enables his passion of sharing and teaching yoga to the world. At one time Dan was horrified to think that he would ever become a Yoga teacher, because the image he had of Yoga didn’t fit at all with the image he had for himself. After having a life changing experience his third time on the mat, he began to realize that yoga and mindfulness meditation help people powerfully return to their bodies and heal themselves definitively from the inside out. He says that many people get disconnected from their body. Yoga helps change the chemicals in the body and reconnect people with their personal power and each other. Dan explains that for him Yoga is a petri dish for his life, teaching him how to slow down, connect, belong and push through all of his limitations. Now, he lives in creation of his life moment to moment rather than in reaction to his life. Ironically self love has a boomerang effect. Dan explains, “What happens if I'm kind to myself? I can actually demonstrate kindness for others much more easily. And what happens when I feel compassion for myself? Then I can find compassion for other people that I might not see eye to eye with.” Listen in to this powerful interview about how Yoga can transform our lives.

58. Dr. Brandon Nappi - Is Presence the Root of Your Healing & Freedom - Copper Beech Institute Dec 17, 2019

Dr. Brandon Nappi is a spiritual teacher, speaker and writer who passionately believes in the capacity of the human spirit to awaken. Inspired by the common wisdom of the world's spiritual traditions. He has dedicated his life's work to sharing the transformative power of mindfulness practice. He founded Copper Beach Institute in 2014 and is the institute's executive director. In this podcast you will learn about Dr. Nappi’s mission to bring more curiosity and meaning into the world. Curiosity was a special trait his earliest school teachers noticed about him. A turning point in his life was working as a janitor in a church in highschool. He found a world there in the quiet stillness, and began to come alive. Today, he helps others find that world through mindfulness -- which can be done lying down, standing, walking, or sitting. He says this practice of staying present will in effect almost double your life. Recent study show that we spend more than 48% of our time distracted, unconsciously projecting into the past or present. Dr. Nappi naturally felt compassion for others but grew to use mindfulness to cultivate his own self compassion. This double synergy is powerful and without it is like breathing with one lung or flying with one wing. Mindfulness takes courage, but it transforms pain at the root, because pain that isn’t transformed is transferred. When we go through life we can be reactive but mindfulness helps us to look at our life with exceptional courage and compassion, allowing us to respond outside of our normal patterns. It is not enough to want to be kinder and more loving, we must practice our way into whole heartedness. People who visit the Copper Beech Institute often say their hearts have grown ten times. Often when people are not wiling to feel emotions that come with mindfulness we can live in denial and we can begin to self medicate with addiction, self medication, lashing out at others. If we don't take care of our pain, profound depression and anxiety that may seem to have no exact explanation, a kind of vague sense of unease. I'm fond of saying if you can feel everything and anything that a human being can feel, then you will be free. The purpose of our mindfulness practice is freedom, true freedom. And that freedom then makes joy and love and compassion really possible.

56. Ronan Tynan - Can Music Silently Heal Us? - Irish Tenor Dec 04, 2019

Ronan Tynan is an Irish tenor, physician and former Paralympic athlete who won 18 gold medals and set 14 world records. Ronan gained international acclaim as a member of the Irish Tenors. You can read about his extraordinary life in his autobiography, Halfway Home My Life Till Now. Ronan is here to speak to us about the transcendent power of music and how music can help us live more fully in the moment. Ronan Tynan knew what he wanted to do with his life after an epiphany he had when he was 7 years old. Both of his parents installed him in at an early age that nothing is impossible. Later in life he realized that being a singer was as healing to the world as being a doctor. He realized that vulnerability allows people to open up blockages and that music tends to cleanse people in ways they might not even realize. Not only can music heal divisions within a person it also has the power to transcend and heal divisions that separate us as a society. He explains, “No matter how much anger or contempt that people can have for each other, sometimes a piece of music can bring people and unify people in the most amazing way.” Website: http://ronantynan.net/ Twitter @ronantynan

55. Dr. Denia Tapscott - How Does Your Life Story Influence Your Health? - NIHA Nov 27, 2019

Ep. 55: Tenia Tapscott - How Does Your Life Story Influence Your Health? - NIHA Dr. Denias Tapscott’s story began in 2014 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After a traditional medial approach, she shifted and ultimately found her cure at the Institute of Functional Medicine. This process forever changed her career -- and her world view. Dr. Tapscott specializes in functional medicine, adult holistic primary care and obesity medicine. She believes that it's not enough to diagnose a disease or to treat a symptom without understanding the root cause. Testing beyond the conventional labs helps her to address nutritional, metabolic, genetic and hormonal optimization. Tapscott believes that everyone has a life story that influences their health. The functional medicine approach is used for chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia, depression, gastrointestinal conditions, cancers, and autoimmune diseases. It doesn’t treat the symptoms with medicine, it looks even deeper to find the root cause of disease. For example, sometimes the root cause of depression can be related to nutritional deficiencies which affect the gut microbiome, which in turn affects the ability to make neurotransmitters. It also might be a sleep problem, too much nutrients or hormonal imbalances. If you want to learn about Omega 3’s, which fish to eat, the rage over the microbiome, vitamin D, and what the intake form looks like the first time you visit a functional medicine doctor, listen in. Dr. Tapscott is generous with her wisdom. She explains, “Too often we rely on someone else or something else to fix us. What we try to emphasize in functional medicine is that you're in control. You just need the knowledge to create your optimal wellness.” More From Denia Tapscott Dr. Denia Tapscott at NIHA: https://www.nihadc.com/practitioners/dr-denia-tapscott-m-d.html Twitter @nihadc Facebook @nationalintegratedhealthassociates Instagram:@deniatapscott

Dan’s life took a radical turn when he was on the air on Good Morning America in June 20034 and had a panic attack. He turned to meditation to turn around the inner narrator in his head. His first meditation experience was terrible. He confesses it took him a year to move from 5 minutes up to 10 minutes.

Once you know what is happening in your mind, you don’t have to get yanked around by it. Harris explains, “The good news is that you are not stuck with your level of happiness, your level of calm, your level of distractibility, your level of compassion. These are all skills that are susceptible to training.” Dive into the details on this incredible podcast on the calm, focus and mindfulness which can be yours through the practice of meditation.

52. Matthew Johnson - Can psilocybin treat addiction and depression? - Johns Hopkins Nov 07, 2019

Dr. Matthew Johnson is the associate professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is an experimental psychologist and an expert on psychoactive drugs (such as psilocybin) in the psychology of addiction and risk behavior for over 12 years. In this podcast Dr. Johnson describes how the psychoactive drugs act like a psychological therapy, where self observation can be heightened like a helicopter shortcutting a patient to the top of the mountain to deal with addiction or depression. Often only one experience is life changing. Unlike most traditional drugs, psilocybin is not addictive and there are no known lethal doses. In addition, this type of therapy works to treat the underlying roots of disorders rather than treating symptoms. Psychoactive drugs tend to connect different areas of the brain, causing synchronicity to occur. Dr. Matthew Johnson explains that often times facing the adversity in life is where you find the meaning in it.

51. Dr. James Allison & Dr. Padmanee Sharma - Winning the Nobel Prize for Cancer Treatment Oct 30, 2019

Tricia and I are delighted that Dr. Jim Allison and Dr. Padmanee Sharma are with us today on Health Gig. Both are pioneers in the cancer world. One of them is a Nobel Prize winner and they are married. Their lives are so fascinating that we think there should be a movie about them -- but wait a minute -- there is. In this interview you will learn how to tenaciously stand up for your ideas despite decades of skepticism and resistance within the status quo. By tenaciously pursuing a new path and a bold idea, a totally new form of cancer treatment (found within your own immune system) was discovered by Dr. Allison. By turning off the “off switch” of T cells (the soldier cells which fight disease) your own body can actually get these defense cells to keep fighting remnants of cancer until they are totally gone from the body. Plus these T cells are trained for any recurrence of this type of cancer (similar to the way a vaccine works in your body). In addition to understanding the basis for Dr. Allison’s Nobel Prize and the hopeful future of cancer treatment, you will get the backstory of this hero's journey. We cover stories from the time Dr. Allison’s father was a country doctor getting paid for his house calls in tamales and the initial letter Dr. Sharma drafted to speed up their first scientific collaboration -- all the way up to the couple’s scientific collaborations and happy marriage.

50. Brad Snyder - Manifesting Opportunity - Five Time Gold Medal Paralympic Athlete Oct 23, 2019

Brad Snyder calls himself a dreamer and a doer. He is a retired U.S. Navy officer who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan after a battlefield injury that resulted in complete blindness. Brad began his second career as a U.S. Paralympian. Brad has competed at two Paralympic Games, earning five gold medals, two silver medals and a world record at all. He is a wonderful, remarkable man. After his injury he and his family found comfort and freedom in his childhood routine of swimming. Once he learned to navigate the water, Brad Snyder won a gold medal on the anniversary of the day he lost his sight. Brad explains that once you have a near death experience, you emerge on the other side thankful, and ironically gaining more than you have lost. In this podcast you will learn to give up on the things you can not control, (such as what people think of you), and make the most of the things you can control. Persistence and a positive outlook are not always easy, but the outcome certainly is stunning.

49. Dr. Mary Neal - Life After Death, The Unity Between Science & Spirituality Is Revealed Oct 16, 2019

Dr. Mary Neal is board certified orthopedic spine surgeon and she's an author -- two times over. In this interview she talks about how she spent 30 minutes without oxygen underwater but came back to life. During those thirty minutes she felt a shift in time and dimension and she watched her body being pulled to the shore. She explains how she didn’t feel unconscious, she felt more conscious and more alive than she has ever felt. In this interview she shares that there are millions of people who have had this life after death experience and that the stories people share upon returning are similar. She explains, “You can't go through an experience like this without having everything about you change. And I will say that I spent many months afterwards trying to come up with a scientific or medical explanation and ultimately was unable to.” Dr. Neal believes that it's a false choice to either believe science or believe in a spiritual world because they co-exist and integrate very easily even though they are very different. She explains, “They answer different questions. Science will always be the means by which we try to figure out how things work and spirituality will always be the pathway by which we answer the questions of meaning and purpose.” She explains that it is ironic people feel threatened by spirituality because in death “all relationships are reconciled and there is nothing but love”. To find your true path, she explains, you must leave the couch, try things and wait for a sign to see if you are headed in the right direction.

48. Tami Simon - Co-Mindfulness & the True Litmus Test of an Interconnected World - Sounds True Oct 09, 2019

Tami Simon is the founder and CEO of Sounds True, a multimedia publishing company with a mission to wake up the world, for over 30 years. Tami has been disseminating the wisdom and guidance of today's leading spiritual teachers. Tami is also the host of the popular weekly podcast Insights at the Edge and the author of the audio book Being True: What Matters Most in Work Life and Love. We grew up with Sounds True over the last 25 years listening -- and being so inspired. Tami talks about her candid personality and her early childhood experiences cherishing books which reflected back her inner knowing that the world was interconnected. Working with hundreds of famous leaders and spiritual teachers in her company, she comments that the true litmus test is to observe ourselves and look at how we interact with other people outside of work, books and lectures, backstage. The mindfulness boat is all about “generating greater love, greater understanding, greater appreciation” and deep humility and listening within your daily social interactions. Tami explains that everyone wants to be heard and that is often more productive to listen from a place of not having a position, so that you can surrender to the moment. Humility, she adds, is letting ourselves not always have all the answers. It’s a lot more interesting to be on a path of discovery with other people. In this podcast, you will learn how to be vulnerable, and how to love and accept yourself even in your most dark and difficult moments. What are the most powerful ideas on the frontier? The concept of co-mindfulness - which allows us to see cooperation and understanding in the social structures which drive forward our interconnected future.

What works for someone might not work for you. She breaks down different diets including mediterranean, low fat, high fat, dash, ketogenic and vegan. Time restricted eating, or reducing the hours of eating to eight to ten hours is helpful.

46. Dr. Matt Dawson - A Doctor’s Take on CBD Oil, Sleep Trackers & PEMF Therapy - Wild Health Sep 25, 2019

Dr. Matt Dawson has been obsessed with performance optimization as long as he can remember. Matt is co-founder of Wild Health, has his own personalized medicine practice where he works in genomics and functional medicine. He has lectured in over 20 countries and trained thousands of other physicians. We thought it would be fun to focus our discussion today on CBD oil which is being used to treat seizures, autism, anxiety, sleep issues and more. Dr. Dawson discusses our endocannabinoid system and explains that lower doses (15 to 25 milligrams) tend to work better for anxiety and chronic pain but much higher does work for sleep (100 to 150 milligrams. ) Dr. Dawson outlines how to select CBD oil. Because it is still new in the market it is important to go with bigger more established brands, check for a third party evaluations, and avoid processed versions placed in water and candy. His personal preference is to prioritize the “entourage effect”, which states that the closer to the whole plant that you get the more therapeutic it is. Want to test what is working to improve your health? Looking at sleep is a major area which can impact alzheimer's, chronic disease, performance and immunity. The sleep tracker that Dr. Dawson currently recommends is the Oura Ring so he can measure the therapeutic interventions along side his patients. John Muir once said, “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe." Dr. Dawson says this holistic approach applies to the body as well. Listen in to learn about adaptogens, homeostasis, THC, CBD, Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) technology and more.

42. Tracy Freeman, MD - Is fatigue keeping you from your optimal life? The antidote is here. Aug 28, 2019

We are so excited to have Dr. Tracy Freeman (BB&R’s Chief Medical Officer) in the studio today to share her thoughts on fatigue. She is a doctor who specializes in holistic medicine and integrative medicine. Dr. Freeman is noticing more and more people coming into her office who are complaining that they lack the energy to live their optimal lives. This can be caused by being over scheduled. We create ongoing and never ending duties and to do lists that undermine our well being. Women often feel that they need to keep going going going and doing doing doing. She explains that vitamin D3 can help fight fatigue. Vitamin D3 is actually not a vitamin it is a hormone that integrates with the cholesterol in our skin. Fair skinned people need 10 minutes of sun a day (when at it’s high point 11am to 1pm). Dark skin people need about 30 minutes a day. Dr. Freeman also talks about our second brain (our gut) and breaks down what you need to know about probiotics. She talks about how to rotate brands of pills (minimum 25 billion CFU) and get them naturally in things like apple cider vinegar and fermented foods. The light on computer screens can also keep our brain in day mode, but herbs like basil, ashwagandha and rhodiola actually tell the brain, “just take it easy for a moment let it go”. If you have problems staying asleep your adrenal glands may be overworked from stress and chronic fatigue. If you are feeling severe and chronic fatigue that is not linked to your lifestyle it might be time for a workup on anemia, mono or lyme disease.

41. Florence Williams - Why (and How Much) Nature Makes Us Happier and Healthier - Author Aug 21, 2019

Florence Williams is a journalist who writes about the connections between people, health and nature. In this podcast she tells us about the superpowers of nature. Her book The Nature Fix reveals that even five minutes in nature can start to make a difference. The optimal goal is to have 5 hours in nature a month (which is about two 30-40 minutes in nature per week). After 20 minutes in nature our blood pressure starts to drop, our respiration can calm our entire nervous system, we have an expanded perception of time, we move into alpha brain waves and we become less short tempered throughout the day. Studies show that people with views of nature from their hospital bed need less pain medication and prisoners with nature on the walls of the gym have lower incidences of aggression. Studies also show that depression and rumination goes down on a 60 minute walk in nature but not in the city, which makes finding a park or something natural optimal. Williams also teaches us about forest bathing, popularized by Shinrin-yoku. It talks about the benefits of opening yourself up to all of your senses when you are in nature. When you can turn off running through the to-do list and move into a sensory, mindful mode, your blood pressure drops, your mood gets boosted and your heart rate variability improves. Nature is truly a superpower and we all deserve to have a park less than 10 minutes away. Florence Williams is the author of The Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes Us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative as well as Breasts: A Natural and Unnatural History which won the 2012 Los Angeles Times Book Prize the 2012 Audie Award and a notable book of 2012 by the New York Times.

38. Clif Smith - An employee led initiative turned into a full blown mindfulness program - EY Jul 31, 2019

Clif Smith, Ernst and Young's (EY) Americas Mindfulness Leader, has personally facilitated mindfulness training to over 20,000 EY personnel. Clif was first introduced to mindfulness as a 10 year old during martial arts training classes. It was there he learned that the practice can help one overcome fear, self-criticism and self-doubt. This would one day be the tool which he used to overcome his fear instilled in him from being a “trailer park kid” and become a Chinese linguist, a diplomat, and apply to Harvard. He started a small grassroots mindfulness network in EY’s Americas region and began “teaching small classes and 6 people turned into 12 people, 12 turned into 24, 48, etc.” Then, when his CEO Mark Weinberger had to cancel a keynote at an annual event for newly promoted leaders, Clif Smith was asked to step in. It was then he knew that mindfulness was not work, it was not a career, it was a calling. Since then he has been helping people improve their wellbeing, focus and leadership as a result. Just knowing you have the tools to better navigate the normal ups and downs in life will reduce your stress.

37. Travis Mills - The secret to flipping victimhood & pain into purpose & power in your life. Jul 24, 2019

It's an honor to welcome Travis Mills to our podcast today. Both Tricia and I have had the opportunity to know Travis and to hear him speak, and like everyone who has met Travis, we are better for it. Travis woke up on his 25th birthday as a triple amputee. After 19 months at Walter Reed, he vowed to never give up. Today he is an inspiration to the world. In this podcast, Travis teaches us how to move away from victimhood and be responsible for our attitudes about life and also what it means to be a good leader. He teaches us, “I'm not a victim and neither are you.” The film, Travis: A Soldier’s Story and his New York Times best seller Tough As They Come, bring this powerful vision to life. Travis has become the quintessential empowered role model, teaching us now to stand up from the sidelines and step in to our life’s purpose. He is writing a new book on leadership, hosting 126 families a year at his foundation and is contemplating a reality show. He tells us about his secrets on how to be a leader, shares his daily routines, and h life with children. He also shares his story of how his fear of a lifelong dose of pain medicines guided him toward an experimental five day ketamine coma which helped reset his brain and body limb map and allows him to be medication free and pain free today. Travis reminds us how to heal on this podcast, “In any situation, I'm in control of how I feel. I'm in control of my attitude and it's up to me how I want to go about getting better”.

36. Fr Bill Byrne - Talks about living in the now and how to tune into peace - Wash Archdiocese Jul 17, 2019

Father Bill Byrne is a chronically hopeful person. He is the priest of the Archdiocese of Washington (and a radio and YouTube star) and currently serves as the pastor of Our Lady of Mercy in Potomac Maryland. He was the chaplain at the University of Maryland, Pastor of St. Peter's on Capitol Hill and secretary for social concerns for the Archdiocese of Washington. More importantly Father Byrne is a friend and his beloved in our community where he serves. In this podcast Father Byrne talks about how his chosen profession is a never ending source of fun and joy even in the midst of really challenging moments. He sheds light on the healing and transformation the Catholic church has faced in recent years and what he sees for the future. He believes that many people think they will be happy when they get retired and can relax. “But it's a shame because everything is being revealed in the now. So happiness is not a destination. Happiness is a byproduct of doing good and of being yourself”, he explains. He goes on to add, “Happiness is not the destination, it's the experience of being in the right place and embracing wherever you are. There are many roads, but you know which is the right road, and when do follow that road as lovingly and joyfully as possible then you will know peace.” Father Byrne believes that his job involves 90% listening, which he does as a daily practice of meditative prayer with God for one hour a day. He also listens to the younger priests by having dinners, and listens in weekly staff meetings which he invites everyone - including the secretaries. He says “I want as many ears hearing an issue as we possibly can.” He lost 50 pounds with one simple change to his diet, cutting out sugar. He explains that if a cracker has sugar in it is probably has twenty nine ingredients. If the cracker has no sugar it probably has only four ingredients. Avoiding sugar essentially meant avoiding processed foods.

The foundation is now doing large scale studies that are proving that meditation is a highly effective medical intervention for insomnia, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, behavioral disorders and even for opioid addiction in teens. In this podcast, Bob explains what meditation is. The gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta mind GOTTA DO THIS AND I GOTTA DO THAT mind is like the waves on an ocean, and below is the deeper calm, clarity, power, and creativity of your mind. He breaks down the three types of meditation: Focused attention: A concentration form of meditation. It attempts to clear the mind of thoughts. It creates gamma brain waves which are 20 to 50 cycles per second. Open Monitoring: Focuses on the types of thoughts you are having and staying in the present. It creates theta brain waves which are 4 to 8 cycles per second. Self Transcending: It is a state where your mind is both settled and wide awake. It gives your body rest that is deeper than sleep in some ways. It creates alpha 1 brain waves which are 8 to 10 cycles per second. Bob Roth tells us how transcendental meditation is taught in less than 5 sessions to CEO’s and ten year olds. He tells us that the best times to do it is upon waking and just before dinner.

32. Richie J. Davidson, PhD - The New Science Behind Mindfulness - Center for Healthy Minds Jun 19, 2019

Our guest today is Dr. Richard Davidson. He is a pioneer in studying the effects of mindfulness meditation on the human brain. He is a neuroscientist, psychologist and research Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin Madison where he is also the founder and director of the Center for Healthy Minds. He is the co-author of The Emotional Life of Your Brain and Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body In this interview Richie explains, “I first met the Dalai Lama in 1992. He challenged me. He said you've been using tools of modern neuroscience to study negative qualities of life stress adversity anxiety. Why can't you use those same tools to study positive qualities like kindness and compassion and flourishing?” He brought buddish monks from Tibet and Nepal into his lab and the rest is history. Richie has been studying how a healthy mind has a direct impact on improving physical health. He recommends starting a daily meditation practice, even it is just for 2 minutes a day. He likens this habit to the way we brush our teeth every day to obtain good physical health. He shares stories of the Dalai Lama, including his emotional latitude and his kindness and compassion for not just a small group of family and friends but for all people. This is why Richie believes that kindness and love is the next frontier. One of the reasons we have studied the body more than the brain in the past is because blood pressure has been easier to measure than well being. But this is changing. This fascinating interview includes some of the inspiring research being done today by Richie Davidson and Nobel Prize laureates in the field of happiness, emotions, brain development in gestation, and even what happens to meditators in the body after death.
