TMHS 070: How To Accomplish Any Goal You Want, Overcome Addictions, And Reframe Your Thinking - With James Swanwick Sep 24, 2014

Show notes

Many people in our modern world have this romantic idea that we're always supposed to have what we want.

Most of us have never stop to realize that not having what we want is often at the root of our unhappiness.

I'm not talking about fantastical delusions like wishing you had a spaceship, wishing you were besties with Kanye West AND Taylor Swift (that would make for some interesting conversations), or wishing you were richer than Scrooge McDuck, swimming in a vault of money.

These are all far out fantasies... What I'm talking about here is something more tangible.

We all want to be loved. We all want to feel supported. We all want to feel safe and healthy. We all want to know that we truly matter.

These are not misguided desires, these are all human nature. But, it's the way we go about achieving these things that cause us so much pain and frustration.

Is there work you really want to be doing, but can't seem to make it happen because of your current circumstances? Are you as healthy as you want to be? Are you happy in your relationships? Are you waking up doing the things that fulfill you everyday?

On a negative side, do you have patterns of behavior that cause you to fail again and again? Do you have addictions that are hurting you consciously or unconsciously? Do you find yourself giving up on having the things you really want and find yourself settling?

You absolutely can achieve many of the great things that you set out to do. It's just about having the right strategy to make them a reality. To get you that strategy, I've got a guest who knows a thing or two about achieving great things. Right now you're going to learn from James Swanwick who's a former ESPN Sportcenter Anchor, celebrity journalist, and author who had no idea how he was going to make his goals a reality until he started to implement his five step formula that he's going to share with you today.

But before we get into how to really achieve your goals, here's one of the biggest secrets of all...

It's not in acquiring these things that make us happy. And it's not in getting rid of the negative things that make us happy. It is the PROCESS of achieving the goals that brings the very best out of us and makes us who we are. This is where real long-term happiness resides.

Don't go chasing after your goals to find happiness because it will only end in discontentment. Chase after your goals because the process will enliven you... And achieve your goals because you can!

In this episode you'll discover:

Why focusing on the behavior you want to change can cause you to fail.
How to reframe your thinking to make accomplishing your goal easier.
The 5 steps to achieving any goal you want.
Why you need to be more specific when setting your goals.
How your brain filters out data to help you find what you want.
How to use "how" and "what" questions to RADICALLY increase your ability to accomplish your goals (this is so powerful!)
How to overcome addictions by using an incremental process.
Why writing your goal down actually works.
How to create "small victories" that help you achieve your goals.
The real reason that people don't take action to achieve what they want.
What the fear of success is and how it can sabotage you.
How to overcome obstacles that come up while working on your goals.

TMHS 069: Super Nutrition And Total Human Optimization - With Aubrey Marcus Sep 17, 2014

Show notes

If we're going to be successful in the field of nutrition, then we've got to come to the realization that EVERYTHING you put into your body has an impact.

Whether you're eating a walnut or a doughnut, it will change every cell in your body at some level. Food is truly that powerful.

It's time we start to leverage this to look and feel the way that we want. I often tell people that food isn't just food, it's information. And we need to start asking questions like: What kind of information am I putting into my body?

Before you make a decision to eat a food, take a supplement, or take a drug, just take a second and contemplate what this substance is commanding your body to do. Are you making a food choice that is commanding your body to secrete more insulin than it can handle, store more fat, and damage your metabolism? You can literally command your body to do this with a bottle of Mountain Dew.

Are you taking a synthetic supplement that will overstimulate your nervous system and make you think that you have more energy... when you're really just burning out your adrenal glands?

We have to take more responsibility for what we are putting into our bodies so that we can rise above the disease, poor performance, and struggle that has become commonplace in our society.

Knowing all of this, it's not a small thing to take a supplement. You'd better know what's in that supplement, where it comes from, and whether or not the human body even recognizes it in the first place.

Today we've got on the CEO of a company that is focused on what they call Total Human Optimization. Everyone from professional athletes to top executives are rushing to get their hands on the products and information that this company has put together.

Onnit is a brand that's making huge waves in the fitness and nutrition industry by standing for something unique. It's not just about the incredible supplements they carry (that are actually derived from earth grown nutrients), it's about the food you eat, it's about the exercise you do, and it's about the lifestyle you take on to bring it all together and make it work.

The CEO of Onnit, Aubrey Marcus, cares about people, cares about service, and cares about making a real impact. He's a leader that really walks his talk, and he's about to share a wealth of information with you that can improve your life for many years to come.

In this episode you'll discover:

How to turn the knowledge you acquire into real change in your life.
What influenced Aubrey to begin taking supplements (great story about a napkin!)
Why athletes like A.J. Hawk from the Green Bay Packers are using Onnit products (this will surprise you!)
Why earth-grown nutrients need to be the basis of all high quality supplements.
How taking synthetic supplements can work in the short-term but cost you in the long-term.
What compounds in hemp protein make it so interactive with human muscle.
Why hemp was paramount to the growth of the U.S. then eventually banned due to corporate interest.
Whether or not hemp protein will cause you to fail a drug test.
How using higher quality supplements saves you money because you use less of it.
Why radioactive wastes and heavy metals may be a concern with conventional fish oil.
Where to find a safer, more effective source of Omega 3's.
How cordyceps impacts your cells to give you more energy.
What an adaptogen is and why we need them.
How our society has been trained to fear dietary fat.
Why dietary fat is CRITICAL to your nervous system function (you'll love this analogy!)
What Trilogy Butter is and why I eat it out of the jar like a madman.
Why the human body is not designed to only do linear movements (squats are great but...)
Why service, not money, is the key to success in the long-term.

TMHS 068: Boost Your Fat Loss With These 5 Tips For A Healthy Liver Sep 10, 2014

Show notes

You're going to be shocked to find out how much your liver function impacts your body's fat loss (or lack thereof). Your liver is often referred to as the "second brain" of your body, and for good reason.

Your liver has responsibilities in regulating hormone function, assimilating nutrients, and handling insulin, just to name a few. All of these functions are critical to your health, and all of these functions are also critical to your metabolism.

When looking to lose body fat, we tend to jump to the "external" things we can do, not understanding that fat loss is really an inside job.

It's the function and performance of your body's major fat-burning organs that will tell the tale of your fat loss long-term.

We need to do everything in our power to support these major organs in being as healthy as possible. This is really the key to losing fat and keeping it off. Today you're going to discover how to enhance the function of a member of the royal family of fat loss organs. Long live the liver! Enjoy!

TMHS 067: 5 Health & Performance Tips For Entrepreneurs (And Anyone Interested In High Performance Overall!) Sep 03, 2014

Show notes

Whether you consider yourself an entrepreneur or not, there are facets of your life that you need to run the lead on. You may be the CEO of a major organization, or the CEO of your house and kids. The word entrepreneur comes from the French word entreprende which means 'to undertake'. When you undertake the responsibility of being the boss, it's essential that you know how to keep your health and energy up to par.

Many entrepreneurs don't do well because they don't feel well. Many more entrepreneurs have no idea about the profits and impact they're leaving on the table because they don't have the energy to move on opportunities when they present themselves. As a matter of fact, they are missing on opportunities left and right because they can't even see them in the first place!

There is a story of a man walking along who was always frustrated, irritated, and in poor health. He tripped over something sticking up out of the ground, and cursed at it as he stumbled to catch his balance. He never looked down, just continued on in his agitation and frustration on how life would not cut him a break.

There was another man who was considered an optimist walking along. He was in good health, happy, and tended to look for the best in things. He went walking down the same path as the frustrated man and tripped over the same thing sticking up out of the ground. He caught his balance, looked down to see what it was, and it was a piece of gold that had been wedged into the earth. He exclaimed, "This is my lucky day!", and reached down, dug the piece of gold out, and went on about his day.

This story illustrates that the world is what it is. And depending on your own unique perception, you'll either see abundant opportunities or you'll continue to see problems everywhere you go. Both are existing simultaneously, but it's up to you to support yourself in seeing the good, because no one else is going to do it for you.

There is a huge wave of executives and entrepreneurs that are shifting their focus to self-care so that they can show up better in their business and lives. They understand that their energy and focus can make the difference between them and the next person who can out hustle them, out produce them, and out think them because their health is lagging.

They understand that they need to be on top of their game to see the opportunities surrounding them. This is your opportunity, today, to find out some of the secrets of some of the most productive people in the world. What things are they doing to keep stress in check? What things are they doing to keep their energy levels high? What things are they utilizing to perform at their very best. You're about to learn that and more right now!

In this episode you'll discover:

How reviewing and relistening to empowering messages can change your brain.
What it really means to be an entrepreneur.
What mental switch you need to flip on to go from working at a job to being an entrepreneur (this is life-changing!)

TMHS 066: How Food Impacts Your Genetics And 4 Steps For Reaching Your Highest Genetic Potential Aug 27, 2014

Show notes

I remember R&B artist Genuwine had a hit song called "In Those Jeans" a few years back. Though the spelling is different from the genes we're talking about here today, the objective is still the same. Let me explain...

The song is about getting in the jeans of the hottest person possible. Sexually charged: Yes. Unintentionally scientific: You better believe it.

We all want to get in the genes of our most vibrant, healthy and attractive self. Understanding that you do, in fact, have the power to change your genetic expression is one of the most important discoveries you'll ever make.

Our society has been indoctrinated with this idea that your genes control everything about you. Your genes are the governing entity that will determine your health and longevity, and even control your success in life to a large extent. This is called genetic determinism, but it's really the best free pass ever to give up on yourself.

Overweight: Can't control it, it's my genes. Diabetic: Can't control it, it's my genes. Cancer: Can't control it, it's my genes. Depressed: Can't control it, it's my genes.

Issue after issue, conventional science has been advocating that there is a gene that controls it and makes it inevitable in your life. The reality is that this is simply not true...

One of the most rapidly growing divisions of science is a field called epigenetics. Epi- (like epi-dermis) means above, so this area of science is focused on what's above genetic control. Now if genes control our life, how could something be above it?

The answer is that the public hasn't been given the full story, but that's all about to change for you today.

Your genes are literally a blueprint. They have the instructions to make things, but they don't actually make things themselves. Just as if you were to ask an architect, "What is that house blueprint doing?" First of all, he will look at you like you're a few sandwiches short of a picnic, secondly he would tell you that the blueprint isn't doing anything. It doesn't do anything unless it gets read, and then WE decide if we're going to use it.

The point to really take away from this is that your lifestyle, your habitual behaviors, and your choices in life, more than any other thing, determine what your genes are doing. As you'll learn today, even a lack of sleep can disrupt the expression of over a thousand genes. And this is just a slice of the pie...

How do our food, our exercise, and our relationships impact our genetic expression? You're about to learn how all of these things you're engaged in are actually creating your body and life. Not your genes by themselves, but with you in the driver's seat.

In the song Genuwine asks, "Is there any more room for me (in those jeans)?" You're about to learn that there's plenty of room in your genes for variation. You get to control, to a large extent, whether you spend your time trying to get into the wrong genes, or you become empowered and get into the hottest genes possible. Enjoy this, share, and remember how powerful you are!

In this episode you'll discover:

What the most bioavailable source of protein for the human body is (a must know!)
What genes actually are and what they do.
The shocking number of genes human beings really have (this it mind blowing!)
The truth about how many people actually have genetic defects.
What epigenetics are and why this is a MUST for you to know about.
The growing fields of science showing how food impacts your genetic expression.
How your parents impact your genetic expression (and what you need to do now).
Why conscious parenting is critical in human evolution.
4 steps to turning on better genetic programs and become "unstuck" in your body.
How fasting impacts your genetic expression.
2 ways to utilize fasting to positively influence your genes.
How to do an intermittent fast (and what intermittent fasting really is).
The real reason you need to eat organic food (this is funny, but true.)
A wild food that is easily accessible to you (probably in your backyard!)
Why humans have allowed the use of genetically modified foods.
What the top 10 genetically modified foods are.
What common food has been genetically altered to be a vaccine.
How movement impacts your genetic expression.
A fun hack you can use while walking to upgrade your genetics.
Why health problems are far more common among night workers.
How poor sleep quality can dramatically disrupt your natural gene expression.

TMHS 065: How To Improve Your Emotional Intelligence And Transform Your Relationships - With Jordan Harbinger Aug 20, 2014

Show notes

Do you consider yourself an intelligent person? What about an emotionally intelligent person?

Your answer to the first question better be, "Yes!" (you're reading this empowering information aren't you... sheesh). Your answer to the second question better be a stronger, "Yes!" or at least, "I'm definitely working on it."

What is emotional intelligence, and why is it important?

Emotional intelligence encompasses so much that it's impossible to drill it down into a simple meaning. Rather, I'll share with you two of the most profound components of it.

Emotional intelligence is being able to feel how you want, when you want, and to guide your own behavior accordingly (that's part one).

Emotional intelligence is being able to monitor other people's emotions, and to utilize that emotional data to influence and navigate relationships (that's part two, and it's definitely in the secret sauce).

We are often indoctrinated with the belief that the environment will dictate how we feel. We live in constant reaction mode because no one has ever sat us down to train us on developing our emotional software.

Our guest today says that, "Your beliefs influence your actions which influence your results." It's your beliefs that are at the core of this thing, and it's up to you to learn how to change them.

Our guest today is Jordan Harbinger from The Art Of Charm. He's one of the leaders in the field of emotional intelligence, and even more so he's a leader in teaching its practical application.

Today you're going to learn how to start to wire yourself for greater confidence, more happiness, and greater success by upgrading your emotional software.

In this episode you'll discover:

What really determines your "outer world" actions.
Why we need to develop emotional intelligence in our relationships and in our work.
Why most people think that attractive personality traits are natural (when they're actually learned).
How being good with people can fast track you in your health, relationships, and career.
Why boosting your attraction is more of a subtractive process than an additive process.
How going through the situation you're afraid of (in practice) can help you overcome it.
The truth about your "inner dialogue".
Why your first impression isn't always made when you want to make it (this is crucial!)
A powerful drill you can do to habitually boost your confidence.
How to improve your eye contact to establish better rapport (this is deeper than you think!)
What the most influential factor in your health, well-being, and success in life really is.
What emotional intelligence is and how it can play out in your life.
Why habits are far more important than results.
How mirror neurons in our brain influence our emotional intelligence.
Why consciously using acknowledgement can help anchor in desired habits.
A game-changing practice you can apply today to be more of an emotionally intelligent person.

TMHS 063: Why You Need To Detox, Bulletproof Your Kidneys, And Sleep For Success - With Sheleana Jennings Aug 06, 2014

Show notes

Everyday the vast majority of your body's energy is used to digest, assimilate, and eliminate the resources you consume. The resources I'm speaking of are the foods you eat, the liquids you drink, and the air that you breathe.

Today, we only experience a fraction of our body's true potential energy. So much of our energy is being tied up in digesting food that our bodies are unable to do the deeper house cleaning that we truly need.

Your body's first priority is to handle the food that's coming into it because that's your cellular frontline. What comes in your mouth can take you out of this life fast, so your immune system and other support must be present in your gut and on guard at all times.

Add to that the fact that today we have endless meals being thrown in there and we've got a serious energy siphoning happening.

Most of us don't know the art and science of eating lightly or fasting for even a short time period. For many of us, breakfast is being pushed through by lunch, is pushed through by dinner, is pushed through by dessert, is pushed through by breakfast... and on and on and on.

Our bodies never get a break.

Our internal organs are constantly processing food and the resulting metabolic waste products.

Can your body handle this burden? Well, yes (in the short-term.) Was it designed to deal with the toxicity of our modern world? In the immortal words on the philosopher Bart Simpson, "No way man!"

Being exposed to abnormal amounts of dangerous compounds is now common in our world today. Even if you're eating organic, radioactive fallout has been seen in our water, air, and soil, so truly, no food chain is free of contamination. For example, only days after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, higher levels of radioactive cesium-137 was found in tuna caught off the California coast. Even dairy products on the west coast were showing traces of radiation from the event.

The reality is, our world is very different from the one we have evolved to live in. More pollution, more radiation, and poorer food, water, and air quality means we have a serious issue at hand. Should we throw up our arms and run away? Unless you've got a spaceship or know Richard Branson (who does have a spaceship) where the heck are you going to go? Knowing what you are dealing with, and knowing that you've got to adapt, the better question to ask is: What are you going to do about this?

I'm a big advocate of knowing how to assist your body in the natural processes of detoxification. Today I've got an incredible resource in this mission for you that will bring you lots of value for many years to come. My guest is Sheleana Jennings from YoungAndRaw.com and they have some of the best cleansing and rejuvenation programs out there. The hundreds of thousands of people following their work should be an indicator, but I'll let you hear it for yourself. :)

In this episode you'll discover:

How a young person can develop painful kidney stones.
How to "hear" the communication your body is giving you about what you need.
What detoxification actually is.
Why detoxing doesn't necessarily mean fasting.
Why learning the skill of detoxification is important in our world today.

TMHS 062: Deadly Calories, The Truth About Fruit, And Exercise Hacks With Jonathan Bailor Jul 30, 2014

Show notes

Can losing weight really be that difficult?

Isn't it as simple as eat less, burn more, and you'll see that scale move, or did we all just miss the memo?

Millions of people worldwide struggle with conventional weight loss methods each year, and less than 10 percent of them keep the weight off long-term.

Logically speaking, there is a glaring hole in the way that standard diet and weight loss information is being disseminated.

The system is broken. Badly broken. And in order to take back control of our health, we have to shift our attention to things that truly matter.

Our misguided focus on controlling calories as the means for weight loss has resulted in rates of obesity and diabetes skyrocketing in the last few decades.

Today it's time to make a change, and expose The Calorie Myth for good!

Our guest, New York Times Bestselling Author Jonathan Bailor, is here to share game-changing insights about weight loss, exercise, food cravings, and a whole lot more.

In this episode you'll discover:

Why cutting or adding calories to change your weight won't necessarily work.
How we become judgmental about ourselves and others when conventional weight loss methods fail.
Why most dieters are focused on calories (this is an ah-ha! moment for sure).
What we need to have as a focal point instead of calories to achieve a healthy weight.
How focusing on calories can actually be deadly.
The shocking truth about diabetes (the health AND financial epidemic).
What your "set-point" is and how to change it.
Why two people can eat the same thing and only one of them gains weight.
Why your performance goal should determine your diet.
Which fruits you need to be cautious of (this might surprise you!)
Why fruits and vegetables are NOT interchangeable.
How to improve the taste of green smoothies without spiking insulin.
Why we tend to desire sugar and sweetness more than any other taste sensation.
The truth about where we get our food cravings.
Why our exercise misinformation is tied directly to our calorie misinformation.
An exercise hack that beats conventional "cardio" to burn fat faster.
The #1 marker to know how often you need to exercise.
