#231: 5 Tips To Boost Brain Energy Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

Your brain is a powerful organ. In fact, you could say it's one of the most powerful organs and the energy it needs to run proves that. Your brain is responsible for consuming 20% more energy than any other organ. And a reduction in energy can lead to more than just brain fatigue.

An energy-deprived brain can cause a range of debilitating diseases including depression. What was once formally thought of as a chemical imbalance, we now understand as an energy-starved brain.

Inside this podcast, I interview Dr. Doug Pucci on brain energy and how to boost your energy flow to enhance your brain power.

#230: Emotional Energy: Change How You Feel To Change How You Look Mar 23, 2021

Show notes

Emotional energy or emotional healing is a hard topic. But what if it is the topic we need to be talking about? Of course, I do wish health was just a matter of what you eat and how much you exercise. I wish it were as easy as a calculation, even though I know my rebellious spirit could never get on board. But that's not how health works.

If you've followed any sort of calculation, you know it's not as easy as adding up the food you eat or inserting it into the app. There's more at play than an equation of calories in equals calories out, and that is what your body does with what you provide.

Making health more complicated than paying attention to only the external factors of health like how much you eat or how much you move.

But what your body does with what you provide is the key to health. And learning this can change your health for life.

#229: How To Feel More Energized – And Stop Storing Body Fat Feb 26, 2021

Show notes

PODCAST Alexa Schirm How To Get More Energy and Stop Storing Body Fat Looking to feel more energized? Inside this podcast, I share the secrets you need to feel more energized and stop storing body fat. Take this quiz to pinpoint where your energy level currently is and how to get an energy fix.

If you're feeling exhausted, you're not alone. We can look at Starbucks stock and recognize this world lives on caffeine, and if you're not tired, are you even human?

I get it. I remember the days of owning a gym and teaching the 5:00 am class with a toddler and a newborn. After waking up numerous times a night to feed the baby and a few times to put the toddler back to bed, it felt like I was a walking zombie for years.

I look back and wonder if that was even safe? And I certainly know it wasn't healthy. But sleep deprivation was my life state. And the only way I could figure out how to survive was caffeine, food, and sleep whenever I could get a moment of shutting my eyes.

The truth was, everything in life felt out of control, from home life to my eating patterns and my mood. The exhaustion was real, and I thought I just needed to die to the reality that this was my new normal.

But I didn't want to live that way.

Luckily, I found the answer to exhaustion wasn't another complex system but simplicity. It was more straightforward than tracking foods and more life-giving than being defeated by the number on the scale. Health is not as simple as a calculation. While it may seem like the easy answer, it doesn't seem to work that way.

#224: Stop Sugar Cravings Without Changing What You Eat Jul 28, 2020

Show notes

Cravings are powerful, but you are more powerful. Inside this post, you'll learn how to stop sugar cravings without changing what you eat by learning how cravings work. It's not about getting rid of the cravings but channeling them for something good.

If I could just quit sugar?

Why can't I stop eating carbs?

If I could just stop the sugar cravings?

They feel suffocating and all so real. I have first-hand experience with cravings, but who doesn't. It's in our design to have cravings - we were made to crave. So if you feel like you're overwhelmed by your cravings, remember, it's a human thing.

But just because humans crave, does not mean our cravings should control us!

While powerful, they are not more powerful than you. Rather than living your life craving and then trying to avoid your cravings, what if you could learn the biology of craving and turn it to use for good?

Cravings are the beginning of desire that we can use to unleash health in your life.

It's not about getting rid of cravings but channeling them in a healthy and positive way. Inside today's podcast, we talk about how you can change your cravings, even those sugar cravings, from unhealthy behaviors to desire. And it has nothing to do with what you eat and everything to do with what you perceive.

#223: Use Stress To Lose Weight Jul 22, 2020

Show notes

Stress gets a bad wrap. In fact, I believe we've gone as far as to fear stress that now we're stressed because of the fear that we might be stressed. It's a violent trap that leaves us looking for a faraway land of perfection, comfort, and safety in a place it doesn't exist - not with a stressed based mindset at least.

Stress has been villainized and while this is partially true, it's not completely accurate.

There are different forms of stress that are birthed from your perception that take on different meaning in our lives.

But if we go back to the original design of humans, one thing is clear - our bodies are designed to encounter stress and not just encounter it but thrive off of it.

If those two things sound counterintuitive, this podcast is for you.

Inside, I break down why your body needs stress, especially to lose weight and get healthy and how to change your view of stress to open up true healing inside of your body.

Did I mention, health is not nearly as complicated as we make it out to be?

#222: Using Energy to Change your DNA Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

Most people believe you're stuck with the DNA you are born with. While this is partially true, it's not what really matters. The defining point in health is not your DNA but how your DNA is expressed. Inside this blog, we're going to talk about how you can use energy to change your DNA and change your health.

Energy is the name of the game - specifically, how do you get more energy?

But energy can be a confusing subject and one that doesn't get much air time.

Ironically, we tend to measure everything outside the body in terms of energy, yet we fail to see how powerful it is inside the body.

Energy is the very thing our body needs to thrive, and yet it's the one thing, so many of us wish we had more. But what would change if you started to see energy for what it is? Not a matter of how much or how little you have but recognizing that you have an infinite amount.

The problem isn't in lacking energy but in how you channel it knowing that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

Dr. Misak came on the show to talk about the power of energy inside of your body and the effect it has on how it can change your DNA. In this podcast, we dive into longevity, stress, emotional energy, and so much more.
