Words are Important

I met with a group of guys this morning to talk about being present. It's actually a group of Colorado guys from Denver and Colorado Springs who adventure together. We mountain bike, run, hike, raft, paddle board, camp, ski and basically revel in the outdoors. But we also journey to go deep. The guy who founded the group talks about Outer Terrain and Inner Terrain. The concept of "being present" is in vogue today, but I find two problems present - One, it doesn't sell well, being present doesn't sound valuable and fun at face value, and two, most people think it just means not daydreaming or being on your phone and paying attention to the environment around you. So what is valuable about being present and is it more than just paying attention to your surroundings? Drive with me a moment...

We are generally driven to do the right thing in our lives. We practice personal hygiene, we get the kids off to school, we work and pay the bills, we pay our taxes and we attend social functions and are generally nice and serving to people. But why is it so hard to do the right things for our health and wellness? I just had a long conversation with Dr Tom O’Bryan in the previous episode where he basically showcased that today’s chronic illness and disease is primarily of our own doing. Primarily, not all. I’d rather hear this news than hear it’s all being done to me. If my ill health is mostly my own doing, then I have control over getting healthier, which is great! But the question I pose today is, why is it so hard? Why does our drive seem so hard when it comes to being well? Let me get the cards on the table for you to try and make it more understandable and easier to grasp, and therefore, change.

7 Lifestyle Adjustments To Reduce Your Chance Of Disease By 95%. That seems an almost preposterous claim. I’ve studied health and wellness for three decades and been heavily involved in Functional Medicine for 15 years. And the message in this show speaks truth. My guest is Dr. Tom O’Bryan, a world-renowned Functional Medicine educator I’ve known of for years and finally connected with. He is the author of You Can Fix Your Brain and The Autoimmune Fix and known for his research on gluten. He now has a profound, 7-part docuseries for you, called the Inflammation Equation, where he unveils the underlying mechanisms in the development of 14 of the top 15 causes of death in our world today. You’ll learn from Tom and the world’s top medical experts about the simple steps you can take to stop dis-ease from becoming disease. This conversation is a candid overview of just what inflammation is. Think of an injury you incur and you have swelling. That's the body doing what it's supposed to do. Yet today with the massive and growing amount of toxins in our environment and on the end of our fork, our body is always in a mild to acute state of inflammation and it will go on till it grows, encounters a weak spot in your system, and finally manifests as a disease. Our culture is fighting valiantly to find cures for diseases while the world's best informed realize we are all feeding the disease. And you can't cure a problem that we are actively feeding. Listen in to this show to find real answers and hope for your best chances to ward off the disease culture that is being accepted as the norm. It doesn't need to be your norm. Go to inflammationequation.com for the docuseries. And next up, Tom O'Bryan and a deep dive into inflammation and how to mitigate it in your body.

Your body is the vehicle for all your drive, so we seek to strengthen it for you in this episode. We live in a culture where many people don’t eat many vegetables, and if they do, they gravitate towards the least beneficial. Food is your best medicine, so here is your guide to getting the most out of your veggies. And the goal? Make veggies half or more of every meal. Not the side. Meat and grains and other are your side. But to vegetables, not all are created equal. In a recent episode, Dr James quipped about his kids going for the most sugar-full veggies like carrots and snap peas and it sparked a listener to ask which veggies were in fact, “better”. We intended to discuss the “better” foods in five categories but found just getting through veggies was a complete episode. To give you some Cliff’s Notes, his “top tier” picks for the most nutrient dense veggies were broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, spinach, cabbage (especially purple) and kale. Tier two? Peas, corn, carrots and okra. Why? You’ll serve yourself well to understand, so in this episode Dr Randy James and I break it down. Quick call out to my new friend, Kathy. She’s been a listener for years, loves these health focused shows I do with Dr James, and this week surprised me by showing up at his practice, True Life Medicine, here in Colorado. She flew in to become a patient.. I came out to see someone in the foyer and she recognized my voice, not realizing my studio is in his office building. We had a great visit. You can check out what Randy can offer you at truelifemedicine.com. Got any questions? Hit me up, kevin@kevinmiller.co. OK, next up, Randy and I give you the lowdown on the best veggies.

It will surprise you for me to say, it depends. We all have something we want and the clarity of what we want and why is what makes up our drive. The cultural and high achiever perspective is to but super disciplined, give everything up for the sake of the end goal, delay all gratification for the sake of the prize and never, ever, ever quit! Well, we all know of people who did this and never found any joy.

We've been talking about belonging and how true belonging is not merely "fitting in." Thanks to Ritu Bhasin, author of We've Got This, for bringing us to the concept. For all of you who are people pleasers...who don't like conflict, the idea of being authentic can feel scary and feel like to be natural we've got to offend people. I just can't embrace this but I'm learning how to better navigate being authentic, while not being confrontational. Walk with me a minute and I think I can bring you some understanding and comfort that will let you be you, while also being more true to yourself and at peace with others. Here are six steps that will help. Head to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code KEVIN and depending on the model receive UP TO 39% off or UP TO $300 off!

In my previous episode with Ritu Bhasin, author of We Got This, we dove deep into the concept of belonging and she wisely stated we must first begin by belonging to ourselves. Few of us were ever taught anything about our relationship with ourselves and to many, like me, the very concept is obtuse and awkward. It's taken me a long time to recognize that some people are just...good with themselves. They are comfortable in their own skin. And I want that. I want peace. I'm tired of the anxiety of never measuring up to myself. And you can’t measure up when you think of yourself as merely a tool to get things done. Which many of you do as well. Let’s get the issue on the table so we can course correct. Head to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code KEVIN and depending on the model receive UP TO 39% off or UP TO $300 off!

One of the key drives of our lives is to belong. To truly belong where we are known and accepted and respected, if not loved. We often mistake fitting in for belonging. We perform to fit in at school, at work, at church, or with family. And that’s the rub, we’re performing. We’re not being ourselves. And we don’t find true belonging. My expert on belonging is Ritu Bhasin, who is a global expert on diversity, equity, and inclusion and has worked with hundreds of world-renowned organizations to help guide people to becoming their authentic selves, which as you’re about to hear is step on in belonging. Ritu has been a professional speaker for almost 15 years and has presented to 100,000s+ people globally. Her book is called We’ve Got This: Unlocking The Beauty Of Belonging. We discuss the first step in belonging is belonging to yourself. And this is the hardest step. We talked long on what being authentic really entails, when almost all of us were taught to perform. We discuss the difference between being untrue to yourself and adapting to others out of respect and love. And we cover issues of personal credibility and how those who are marginalized in any way have more barriers to cross on the path to belonging, and how they can advocate for themselves. Connect with Ritu at ritubhasin.com. Next up, we talk about how to achieve one of your greatest drives of all, the drive to authentically, belong.
