TMHS 060: Improve Your Skin Naturally, Clear Up Acne, And 7 Tips To Have The Best Skin Ever! Jul 16, 2014

Show notes

Have you ever heard the saying, "First impressions last a lifetime"? Whether it's true or not, we make snap judgements about people upon meeting them for the first time. It's built into us as an evolutionary advantage to be critical, recognize patterns, and to observe the health and safety of those around us.

Whether consciously or unconsciously, we are judging and being judged with each and every person that we meet. And the very first thing that people see when in close contact with us is the health (or lack thereof) of our skin.

Our skin is a symbol of vitality. It is the outermost representation of what's going on with our overall health. On the surface level we want clear, radiant skin to be more attractive to the world around us. On a deeper level our skin can be an indicator of potential (or even chronic) health problems. Our skin isn't just something superficial to look at, it's one of of best resources for monitoring our internal health and well-being.

Today you're going to learn about your skin in an intimate and fun way. You're going to learn things about your skin that you've never heard before, and you're going to appreciate and care for your skin in a whole new way because of it. It's time to love the skin you're in and take action to have the best skin health possible. The compliments you get will be nice, but the overall vitality you get will be even nicer.

TMHS 059: How To Live And Eat Healthy With A Busy Lifestyle - With Sarah Fragoso Jul 09, 2014

Show notes

Many people feel that their busy schedules can be overwhelming at times. And it's typically during the overwhelm that the not-so-good decisions are made with what we eat, drink, and participate in.

To quote the wise sage Morpheus on this one, "Welcome to the real world."

By the way, if you haven't seen The Matrix yet, drop down and give me 20 pushups because that's just unacceptable... Okay, now you may read on. :)

Life isn't going to be slowing down any time soon. There will always be something to do, someplace to be, and someone that needs your time and energy. The big "ah-ha" message to takeaway from all of this is that you literally cannot manage time. Time is just going to happen, you can't do anything about that. But what you can do is manage YOURSELF, and therein lies your true power.

I've brought on a very special guest to share with you some strategies to help you navigate this world of never-ending responsibilities and take full control of your health and well-being.

Now, don't forget to add family to the mix too. You're going to receive some game-changing tips if you have a family to care for and you want them to be happy and healthy as well.

Today, it's more than possible for you to have the health, body, and life you want with all that you have going on. It's simply about learning from those who've already done it, taking their strategies on as your own, and making the results happen even faster. The only thing that can stop you is you. Now let's find out how to stack the conditions in your favor!

In this episode you'll discover:

How Sarah went from being a "wreck" to being an author and educator for people all over the world.
The 5 tips to live and eat healthy with a busy lifestyle.
Why wearing yourself down for your family is not being good TO your family.
Why you need to "organize your health".
How "NO" can drastically improve your health.

What you can do to choose joy over struggle when changing your eating habits.
How to introduce healthy eating to small kids AND teenagers (this is a must know!)

What this new movement of paleo cookbooks means for our families and our communities.

TMHS 058: How The Work You Do Impacts Your Health And Happiness - With John Lee Dumas Jul 02, 2014

Show notes

Health is much bigger than finding a diet and exercise program that work well for you. Your health is something that's always in flux... it's holistic, multi-dimensional, and far beyond a banana and some sit-ups.

One of the biggest pieces of health that's unwisely overlooked is happiness. That's right, your level of happiness has a huge impact on your health for many powerful underlying reasons. For starters, research published by the Harvard University School of Public Health shows that happiness and an overall optimistic attitude cut the risk of heart disease in half for 6,000 study participants who were tracked over a 20 year period.

Another study that included more than 3,000 people over the course of 8 years found that happier people maintained better physical health and mobility as they aged. And this is only half the story...

This same study also found that the unhappiest participants were 80 percent more likely to develop physical impairments as they aged. Unhappiness caused a sustained activation of the body’s stress response system, leading to a greater likelihood of developing heart disease, systemic inflammation, and even cancer.

So if this doesn't get you to sit up and pay attention to your happiness then you must be related to Archie Bunker, Al Bundy, or Squidward from Spongebob Squarepants.

The harsh reality is: You may discover the most powerful diet and exercise in the world, but your results won't matter very much in the long run if you're not happy.

Of all things that effect people's optimism, there is one that can really make or break you in the happiness department. What you do for a living has an incredible influence on your happiness and overall vitality.

For most people, their workplace is where they spend half of their waking hours 5 days a week. People often spend more time at work and with their coworkers during the week than their own family and friends... so hopefully you can see why being happy with work is so important.

If you don't love the work you do and want a change OR if you simply want strategies to get the most out of life and love what you do even more, I've got something special for you.

I've invited an amazing guest on for you today. He's helping hundreds of thousands of people all over the world get connected to work that they're passionate about. He's providing real expertise and real strategies 7-days a week through his top-rated podcast. And today he's going to share some life-changing information to help you live a life that's truly worthy of you.

In this episode you'll discover:

What major issue (outside of diet and exercise) is damaging the health of millions today.
What valuable qualities you can learn from the military that can help you in life.
The inspiring story of why John decided to start his own business.
Why doing work that inspires you is critical to long-term success.
The real reason most people DO NOT do work that they love for a living.
How doing work you love creates a virtuous circle of taking great care of your health.
Why momentum is so powerful in success AND failure.
Why starting with small things can add up to big success.
The 1st thing to do when making any life change (the enlightened truck-driver story).
What new technology allows you to say YES to what you want without saying NO to your responsibilities.
How to drill what you learn through podcasts deeper into your mind and body.
How to use podcasts to motivate yourself to do things you would normally skip out on.

TMHS 054: Sleep Smarter - The Connection Between Sleep, Sex, Income, And Fat Loss Jun 04, 2014

Show notes

Initially I was surprised to find out that poor sleep quality has been linked to financial debt and lower income. In our culture, we're led to believe that in order to be successful you've got to burn the midnight oil, keep working hard until you make it, and you can always sleep when you're dead. And there lies the problem.

According to the research, if you're not more mindful of your sleep quality, your chances of dying prematurely can skyrocket. And not only that, the very money that you're sacrificing sleep to make, will be the same money you pay to try to get your health back again.

Today is a powerhouse show that's going to help you optimize your sleep, be more productive, and add more vitality into your life. You're going to learn incredible insights about the connection between sleep and sex, how sleep is the secret to long-term fat loss, plus a whole lot more. Fair warning: This may cause you to have the best sleep ever!

In this episode you'll discover:

Why we tend to sacrifice sleep for other things (the truth).
Why sleep deprivation can cause an inability to lose weight.
How exercise gets you in WORSE shape temporarily.
The little-known connection between sleep and physical transformation.
How being overweight can damage your sleep quality.
What sleep apnea has to do with The Dark Knight Rises (funny, but true.)
Why you can sleep the "right" amount of hours but still wake up tired.
The truth about eating late at night (this is shocking!)
Why the clothes you wear to bed can drastically impact your health (ranging from cancer to low sperm count).
How sex and sleep are intimately related.
Why the hormone prolactin is strongly linked to sleep (and how to produce more of it.)
The surprising impact poor sleep quality can have on your finances.

TMHS 053: Getting A Mindset Makeover, Food Cravings, And Food Separatism With Alex Jamieson May 28, 2014

Show notes

Everyday, people all over the world are adopting a healthier lifestyle. More people are going vegan, paleo, primal, or "real food" than ever before.

What's causing this cultural shift is: 1) people are sick and tired of being sick and tired and 2) beliefs about food bind us together, create communities, and communities inherently grow.

With the internet eliminating the borders of people sharing ideas, beliefs, and insights, these communities are expanding rapidly. Even though the health conversation has exploded worldwide, different views by different communities can bring people together AND tear people apart. We're going to talk in depth about this today.

She's going to share the intimate effects it had on her life, as well as our culture at large.

How Supersize Me changed the landscape of food around the world.
The surprising story of how Alex transitioned out of a vegan lifestyle.

TMHS 051: The Answer To Cancer - With Bestselling Author Ty Bollinger May 14, 2014

Show notes

I recently gave a short presentation in front of a group of over 7,000 people. They were all there as cancer survivors, or the loved ones of those who've survived or who have lost their fight. This event really sparked something in me. To witness a sea of people all coming together for one purpose, but to not know what the cause of this disease is really broke my heart.

Honestly, I have spoken for audiences big and small; high pressure situations and euphoric situations alike. None of those instances phased me much. But this event made it difficult for me to speak.

I wanted to yell, and scream that this doesn't have to happen! I wanted to take each person by the hand, sit them down, and talk about how we can end this struggle, and make a better life for our future generations. Instead, I had just a few minutes to give them some hope... And to give them something valuable to walk away with to better the chances in their fight.

Well, I know that fighting is not the road to take. It's bigger than a fight. It's something more courageous. It's having the audacity to love yourself enough that you will pay unyielding attention to yourself. You will finally pay attention to your body, pay attention to the nutrition it requires; the movement it requires; the rest it requires; and the appreciation it requires to make you the best you possible.

In this episode you're going to hear from bestselling author Ty Bollinger about how we can make this happen. You're going to learn how we can take our power back as free, sovereign individuals to live a life that's worthy of us.

You don't have to be afraid of cancer. This episode will prove it to you. Cancer doesn't have to be the end of your story. As a matter of fact, there are countless people who've eliminated cancer from their body through what Ty is sharing that will tell you it was actually the beginning of their story. Including Kristy, whose scans are below showing what's possible in as little as one month. Enjoy this episode and share it generously!

In this episode you'll discover:

3 things to address immediately if conventional physicians give you a cancer diagnosis.
How the nocebo effect can take your life faster than cancer will.
The story of Kristy, the young mother of 3 who was diagnosed with breast cancer (see her scans below.)
How the function of your internal organs impacts cancer development.
What 3 specific phases I use to assist many cancer patients.
What storied medicinal mushroom can incite programmed cell death in cancer cells.

What form of cancer treatment is shown to be 93 percent effective at the one-year mark.
Why pancreatic cancer is so aggressive (and how to stop it.)
Why cancer doesn't just "happen" and what actually triggers cancer cell development.
