Forest Bathing, Sleep Hacking, Cell Phones & Water: The Underground Guide To Lowering Cortisol When Nothing Else Seems To Be Working.

The nefarious, notorious hormone cortisol is a molecule that is near and dear to my heart. Both myself and many of the athletes I've worked with have struggled with high blood and salivary cortisol levels no matter what we do to try and control it or lower it.

So in today's podcast, myself and my guest Evan Brand - a Nutritional Therapist at Greenfield Fitness Systems - take a deep dive into underground, little-known methods to lower cortisol levels, including methods I've never talked about before on the podcast or in my books and articles. In this discussion, you'll learn about: -The enormous cortisol bomb that exploded inside Evan's body when he moved to Austin, Texas... -The ratio of cortisol-to-DHEA that would be ideal... -Why I rarely bring my kids on airplanes anymore... -How you can use Shinrin-yoku, A.K.A. "forest bathing" to decrease stress and cortisol... -The concept of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to lower cortisol... -Evan's crazy story of phenibut, and whether you should actually use phenibut... -Where marijuana fits in... -And much more!

Resources we discuss during this episode: -Evan's coaching page at GreenfieldFitnessSystems.com -Onnit supplements -The book "Dirty Electricity" by Sam Millham -GreenWave Dirty Electricity Filters -Digital Outlet Timer -Evan's REM Rehab sleep product -Evan's Stress Solution book -Study: effect of phytoncide from trees on human natural killer cell function -The NASA Clean Air Plants project -The Tapping Solution Book for EFT -Skullcap -California Poppy Tincture -VaporBoost Sweet Dreams -Upgraded Self GABAWave -The Nutritional Therapy Association -CBD Oil Documentary "The Science of Weed"
