Why Humans Need Winter, How Too Much Christmas Is Dangerous, Rites Of Passage & More With Paul Chek.

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/paulchek2

Two months ago, I released one of the most popular podcast episodes of the year: "Heavy Rock Lifting, Building Your Own “Water Charging” Station, Biomechanical Fixes, Plant Medicine Journeys & More With Paul Chek." In that episode, you discover one of the most internationally-renowned experts in the fields of corrective and high-performance exercise kinesiology - a guy who's unique, holistic approach to treatment and education has changed the lives of countless people worldwide. We delved into everything from Mandala art therapy and ayahuasca/DMT (an experience Paul and I journeyed into before recording today's podcast episode) to how to build your own water rock charging station to Paul's extremely crazy past as a top triathlete, boxer, motocross and rally car racer and beyond.

I found Paul to be such an intriguing man who I consider to be literally decades ahead of just about every health and exercise professional on the face of the planet, that I ventured back down to San Diego to spend a few more days with him. So on today's podcast, Paul is back.

During our discussion, you'll discover:

-Paul's special tea blend that we drank for stabilized energy before heavy rock lifting...[5:30]

-The easy-to-learn morning Tai Chi practice that is the ONE practice that will totally transform your life if you do it every morning for 100 days...[8:50]

-What Paul means when he says you should "never rush in a rock garden"...[17:35]

-The single biggest mistake that people make when they finish a big goal like an Ironman triathlon, a marathon, losing lots of weight, writing a book, etc...[22:45]

-Why every human needs a winter in their life, and exactly what type of physical activities to do during that winter...[28:15]

-Why pro athletes like Danny Way, Laird Hamilton and Robbie Madison come to Paul when nothing else is working...[34:40]

-What a "One Prong Guru" is and how you can break the mold of falling into that trap...[38:10]

-How Paul Chek picked a 6'8" 245 pound Highland Games competitor over his head and did walking lunges...[44:00]

-Why too much Christmas is dangerous...[48:09]

-How to ensure that you put yourself, or your children, through a rite of passage...[55:30]

-And much more!
