Amanda Gilbert | Can Meditation Help You Live Longer? What The Research Shows on Meditation & Cellular Aging, Telomere Health KKP: 551

Today, I am grateful to have a repeat Keto Kamp guest, a Canadian nephrologist, the world-leading expert on intermittent fasting and low carb, especially for treating people with type 2 diabetes, Dr. Jason Fung. He has written three best-selling health books and he co-founded the Intensive Dietary Management program. Dr. Fung graduated from the University of Toronto and completed his residency at the University of California, Los Angeles. He lives and works in Toronto, Canada. Dr. Fung works with Team Diet Doctor. Together we want to make it simple for people to understand and implement intermittent fasting, to improve their health. Below is some of the material with Dr. Fung on Diet Doctor. In this episode, Dr. Jason Fung dives deep into his eye-opening biography of cancer in which he offers a radical new paradigm for understanding cancer. He explains that all cancers develop from our own cells. When four people get the same type of cancer, all four people will have cancer cells that look identical. Then, Dr. Jason touches on the correlations between glucose, bad fats, and cancer. Stay tuned as Dr. Jason answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners, including the benefits of fasting during chemotherapy. NutriSense Continue Glucose Monitor.

We know what causes other diseases or infections. Cancer is the second cause of death in America, yet we don’t know what it is.  The way we think about cancer has changed significantly throughout the years. There is an enormous shift in how we see the disease, affecting how we treat the disease. There is a recognition that cancer is actually an obesity-related disease. In 2003, there was convincing evidence about the correlation between cancer and obesity. In fact, it’s a massive part of cancer.  Diet turns out to be 30-35% related to cancer causation.  Breast cancer and colorectal cancer are the most prominent obesity-related cancers.    “Diseases of metabolism are also diseases of growth.” -Dr. Jason Fung   [16:15] Every Cancer Develops From Your Own Cells The number of mutations that are required to get cancer far outstrips the rate of mutation. Why does every cancer look exactly the same?  People will have identical cancers that develop independently of each other.  Cancer is an evolutionary disease. You can take the tools of evolutionary biology and apply them to cancer instead.  All the different mutations are not random because they all end up in the same place. It’s not a random chance mutation; it’s a guided mutation. Cancer is not part of your body; it’s foreign. The immune system will attack cancer cells. [25:00] A Seven-Day Water Fast Could Shrink Tumors The research on water fasts is preliminary.  A water fast will maximize autophagy. It will put your cells into maintenance mode. When you fast, your insulin will lower as well as your mTOR.  Cancer is a tough thing to study because you cannot use preventative treatments once it gets past a certain point. If you want to study prevention, then you need lots of people.   [29:00] The Correlation Between Glucose and Cancer Cancer runs on glucose much better than they run on fat. If a cell is trying to grow, then it needs fuel.  Some cancer cells can run on protein and fat.  Glucose is the most readily available fuel, and it makes the cell run efficiently. If you starve the cell of glucose, then it can change.  Before you develop cancer, nutrition can be enough to prevent it.  [38:35] How Bad Fats Could Increase Our Chances of Cancer    Bad fats could possibly increase our chances of cancer. However, the data isn’t there yet. Anything that increases inflammation is going to create a risk of cancer.  Cancer develops from inflammation and chronic damage. Anything that causes chronic damage to the body puts pressure on the body to be in survival mode. [42:50] The Benefits of Metformin  If you have type 2 diabetes, then metformin may be better for cancer prevention.  Metformin will turn down excessive growth. If you are in growth mode all the time, it’s bad for longevity.  You want your metabolic rate to be lower by eating less.  [45:30] Getting Too Much Autophagy   Too much autophagy is bad and too little autophagy is bad. You want to be somewhere in the middle.  You want to maintain a middle ground of autophagy for the most part.  When you eat too much, you’ll turn off autophagy.  [47:40] How Fasting Can Improve Chemotherapy   Chemotherapy will kill cancer cells. Fasting will turn down normal cell growth. Therefore, they will be less susceptible to chemotherapy. Cancer cells cannot turn themselves down as easily.  Fasting is safe during chemotherapy. Plus, it is shown that you can handle the chemotherapy better when fasting.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Robert Sikes. He is a natural ketogenic bodybuilder, author and entrepreneur as well as the CEO and founder of Keto Savage, a health and fitness company that offers coaching, training and nutrition for athletes and bodybuilders. He is also CEO and founder of Keto Brick, a company that produces ketogenic meal replacement bars for efficient nutrition with the highest quality ingredients. Sikes holds first-in-class titles from his bodybuilding competitions within the OCB and WNBF federations and lives in Northwest Arkansas with his wife Crystal. Ketogenic Bodybuilding is the culmination of all he has learned through his bodybuilding endeavors and client coaching practice. In this episode, Robert talks about how he thinks positively and has an optimistic outlook on life. Then, Robert dives into why he wrote Ketogenic Bodybuilding: A Natural Athlete’s Guide to Competitive Savagery. It’s an excellent resource for someone who wants to improve their composition while following a ketogenic lifestyle. Plus, Robert talks about increasing your protein and why he prefers to eat animal-based proteins over plant-based proteins. Tune in as we chat about being a bodybuilder without eating any carbs, the inspiration behind Robert’s Keto Bricks, and the different ways to track your health.  Purchase Keto Brick meal replacement bars here: https://glnk.io/1l3/thebenazadi Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com Free Keto Webinar: www.ketosismasterclass.com  -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

He lets people see him in a positive light and be positive to others because not doing so is not conducive to growth for anybody. Eating healthy has helped Robert stay positive. At the end of the day, it’s easy for Robert to stay positive because he’s grateful. [03:20] Why Robert Wrote Ketogenic Bodybuilding: A Natural Athlete’s Guide to Competitive Savagery Get Ketogenic Bodybuilding: A Natural Athlete’s Guide to Competitive Savagery: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QZ68MJ7/benazadi-20 This book took Robert two years to write. It’s all the lessons Robert has learned from the last seven years. Overall, it’s a great resource for people who want to improve their composition. [07:20] How To Increase Your Protein During Mealtime If you're trying to build more muscle, you may not benefit from doing an OMAD approach. In a building phase, Robert will eat two or three meals a day. Currently, Robert eats 3,000 calories a day and 220 grams of protein. If Robert had to eat all of that in one meal, he would be miserable. Robert uses My Macros+: https://www.getmymacros.com/ [09:45] What’s The Difference Between Animal-Based and Plant-Based Proteins? Animal-base is just going to be more bioavailable, and it has a better amino acid profile. You can succeed on a plant-based diet. However, you are going to have more supplements. Robert eats a lot of meat and doesn’t have any issues with it. Meat helps Robert streamline and simplify his meal prep. [16:30] How Can You Be A Body Builder Without Any Carbs?  Most people didn’t think it was possible to lift hard and heavy on a low-carb diet. Plus, people told Robert that he wasn’t going to have any energy. Well, keto helped Robert improve his relationship with food. Haters will talk smack all day long; Robert doesn’t listen to it. Read Metabolic Characteristics of Keto-Adapted Ultra-Endurance Runners: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0026049515003340 [19:10] Will Eating High Protein Knock You Out of Ketosis?   When it comes to bodybuilding and body composition, Robert is not really worried about people having a lot of protein. If you’re eating minimal carbs and you feel great, then you’re obviously functioning on fat and ketones. If your calories are very low, you may want to leave fat higher and decrease protein because fat is great for energy. Don’t leave protein low indefinitely. [21:50] Should You Throw Away Your Scale? How To Track Your Health   Robert says, “don’t throw away your scale!” He likes to look at his weight as a data point. Weight doesn’t show the whole picture, but it does show one piece of data. Instead, your composition should be what you measure. Also, take pictures and measurements. [25:50] Why Robert Decided To Develop The Keto Brick   Purchase Keto Brick meal replacement bars here: https://glnk.io/1l3/thebenazadi Keto Bricks help Robert hit his macros more efficiently, take the guesswork out of meal prep, and it is just super convenient. It’s a 1,000 calorie meal replacement bar. Overall, it makes hitting your fat macros much easier. A lot of people have a hard time getting enough dietary fat, so it helps streamline that process. [29:10] Why You Should Consider Buying The Keto Brick    There are seven full-time flavors. The top flavor is a chocolate peanut butter cup. In the future, there will be a keto brick that only has eight total grams of carbs. For 1,000 calories, eight grams of carbs is unreal! Most keto products are absolute crap, and they are not worth your time. [33:50] How To Get Started With Fitness If you're doing nothing, getting up off of the couch and moving is progress in the right direction. If you haven’t trained before, start with a push-pull leg routine. Anything is going to be better than nothing! If you are already in a legitimate regimen, then increase weight, increase time under tension, increase density, and increase frequency. [36:15] What Should You Do If You Feel Sore The Next Day?   Don’t do the same muscle group again. If you just started training, you will have a week or two of muscle soreness. To get through muscle soreness, you should train through it. If you’re a seasoned lifter, you may benefit from a week where you decrease the intensity. [41:20] Should You Work Out Fasted or Have a Meal Before Exercise?   It comes down to preference. Robert prefers fasted workouts. Fats take a long time to absorb; you won’t make use of those calories. Robert eats his evening meal as his “pre-workout meal” for the next day. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Shana Hussin. She grew up in Wisconsin, and earned her dietetics degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1999. While very active throughout her entire lifetime, she struggled with weight gain in college, despite following conventional nutrition recommendations and exercising extensively. It took many years to figure out why she was so much bigger then, but the truth revealed itself when Shana discovered hormonal connections between weight gain, and eventually growing sick and fat. Shana has worked in the medical nutrition therapy field for 20 years. Like most dietitians, she recommended strategies to her clients for much of her career that failed them long-term, with little sustainable weight loss. This proved to be frustrating to both practitioner and client. Armed with new knowledge, an open mind, and simple healing concepts, she developed a 5- Step lifestyle improvement program for her clients, resulting in immediate and sustained success. Determined to share correct and effective concepts with as many as she could reach, she started writing. Shana now serves those wanting to learn her teachings with books, digital products, personalized virtual visits, group coaching, Facebook support groups, the Fast To Heal Stories podcast, and her popular 28-Day Finding Nutritional PEACE Group Challenges, which run every season. To learn more about or to sign up for any of her programs, visit fasttoheal.info. Shana and her husband have 3 awesome children and live in Kaukauna, WI. When she is able, she loves reading, running, traveling, sitting in the sunshine, walking with friends, and cheering her children on in whatever they are pursuing. In this episode, Shana opens the show by talking about her son’s ulcerative colitis diagnosis. After months of symptoms, the doctors told Shana to prepare to remove her son’s colon. Luckily, Shana sought help outside of the conventional medical system and healed her son without removing his organs. Then, Shana speaks about when she questioned her traditional training as a dietician. After getting sick, Shana started to heal herself by dialing back carbs, increasing healthy fats, and eating more protein. Tune in as we chat all about her new book, Fast To Heal: A 5-Step Guide to Achieving Nutritional PEACE and Reversing Insulin Resistance.

After weeks, he still had diarrhea. So, they went and got testing, but nothing was coming back. Three months after he started having symptoms, he had a colonoscopy done, and he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. He had lost a bunch of weight and couldn’t keep up with sports at the age of eleven. Later, the doctor said Shana needed to get ready to take his colon out. However, Shana found experts outside of the conventional medicine that helped heal her son. [13:30] Why Shana Started To Question Her Dietician Training Shana was a dietician for ten years before she started questioning things. She told people to eat low fat, mostly plants and whole grains. Ten years in, Shana’s clients weren’t getting any better. After having three children, Shana started to develop her own health problems. Shana had four or five canker sores in her mouth, bloating, and a lack of energy. She knew something in her diet had to be the problem. It took a long time to figure out what was wrong. Shana started fasting, dialing back carbs, and increasing fats. After a few months, Shana was sleeping better, her bloating went away, and her canker sores vanished. [23:25] The Lessons That Shana Talks About In Her Book, Fast To Heal Get Fast To Heal: A 5-Step Guide to Achieving Nutritional PEACE and Reversing Insulin Resistance: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0874JXVP7/benazadi-20 P stands for Prepare. Prepare your body for fasting. Get the junk out of your system as much as possible. Eat more whole foods and get your carbohydrates down so your body can adapt to ketones. E stands for Extend Your Fast. Stop eating after dinner. Figure out your trigger and remove it. Start pushing your first meal back in the morning. If you like eating in the morning, close your window sooner at night. A stands for Alter Nutrition As Needed. Women always need to increase their protein. When you’re not eating protein and natural fats, then you’re going to be ill and hungry. Also, it’s time to ditch the seed oils. C stands for Clean, Challenge, and Change Make sure that your fast is clean and you’re not stimulating insulin. Challenge days work well for people who have been sick for a long time; pick one day where you will do a twenty-four-hour fast. If you have severe insulin resistance, extended fasts can help you heal. E stands for Ease Your Mind. If you don’t sleep and have stress, then your hormones will be out of whack. Stress leads to binge eating and not feeling well. It’s a vicious cycle, so you need to get your sleep and stress dialed in. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. William Davis. He provides solutions to health problems by addressing the microbiome, massively disrupted in modern people. He shows readers in his Super Gut book, for instance, how to restore important lost microbes lost such as Lactobacillus reuteri, restored by using a unique method of yogurt fermentation that smooths skin and reduces wrinkles, restores youthful muscle and strength, deepens sleep, reduces appetite and provides many other youth-preserving and anti-aging effects. In Super Gut and in his website, www.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com, he provides additional do-it-yourself-at-home strategies for benefits such as improved mood, improved athletic performance, better sleep, heightened immunity, and improved body composition. Dr. William Davis is also responsible for exposing the incredible nutritional blunder made by "official" health agencies: Eat more "healthy whole grains." The wheat of today is different from the wheat of 1960, thanks to extensive genetics manipulations introduced to increase yield-per-acre. Eliminating wheat yields results beyond everyone's expectations: substantial weight loss, correction of cholesterol abnormalities, relief from inflammatory diseases like arthritis, better mood, reduced blood sugar with many type 2 diabetics being freed of insulin and other drugs, all articulated through his Wheat Belly series of books. He is also a champion of individual self-directed health, as discussed in his Undoctored book. Dr. Davis lives what he preaches, not having indulged in a wheat-containing bagel, ciabatta, or pretzel in many years, while consuming various fermentation products that yield unexpected health benefits. Dr. Davis lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In this episode, Dr. Davis speaks about the inspiration behind The Wheat Belly lifestyle. Then, Dr. Davis dives into how modern life in America is messing with our microbiome. Many people think that probiotics will solve all their gut problems; however, Dr. Davis explains the issues with the commercial probiotic industry. Plus, Dr. Davis explains why you shouldn't cut fat when it comes to gallstones. Tune in as we chat about supplements, the best microbiome tests, and how metabolic endotoxemia initiates insulin resistance.

So, Dr. Davis created the Wheat Belly lifestyle. Basically, Dr. Davis dared to write an against-the-grain book exposing "healthy whole grains" for the incredibly destructive genetic monster they've become. Wheat Belly is an illuminating look at what truly makes Americans sick and an action plan to clear our plates of this harmful ingredient. Learn more about Wheat Belly here: https://drdavisinfinitehealth.com/wheat-belly/ [04:20] How Modern Life In America Is Messing With Our Microbiome With each successive generation, the microbiome gets worse and worse and worse. In the US, most people by age 40 have taken 30 courses of antibiotics. There are 800 prescriptions for antibiotics written every year for every 1,000 people. Yes, many people do need antibiotics for certain situations. However, 30-50% of all antibiotics that are dispensed have no benefit to the recipient. [15:05] The Many Problems With Commercial Probiotics There are a lot of problems with the current crop of commercial probiotics. For instance, most probiotics don’t specify strength. Plus, many probiotics don’t tell you what strain you are taking. Failing to specify strain is a major problem. Some companies are doing double encapsulation because they've been fooled into believing that probiotics should survive untouched until it gets to the colon. One in three people has a proliferation of unhealthy stool microbes in the small bowel. So, you don’t want your probiotics to be double encapsulated. That way, it can be released into the small bowel. [20:45] Why You Shouldn’t Cut Your Fat When It Comes To Gallstones People think that fat causes gallstone. However, fat does not cause gallstones. General surgeons are guilty of telling people to cut their fat when taking out a gallbladder. When you cut fat, your gallbladder will store bile instead of squeezing it out. People who present with gallstones typically also have SIBO. If you're really having gallbladder symptoms, and one stone lodges in your bile duct, it is potentially catastrophic. Bile salts can be useful for your symptoms. Overall, the key is never to cut your fat and never cut your calories. [28:10] The Role of Vitamin D and Magnesium To Form a Super Gut   Vitamin D has been now shown to amplify the intestinal immune response. Magnesium is an osmotic agent that pulls water into your bowels, and it prevents slowed passage of digested food. Taking magnesium accelerates the passage of food through the GI tract. Also, taking iodine ensures that you're not going to get hypothyroidism from a lack of iodine. [31:40] An Amazing New Test That's Very Simple And Effective For SIBO Mainstream doctors should be experts at nutrition and nutritional supplements. However, they are not. Unfortunately, there is the willful ignorance of things in health because they just don't pay enough. Davis says to check out Food Marble:  It’s the latest most advanced digestive breath testing device for people with IBS and digestive issues. Using the FoodMarble breath tester and app will help you find the foods that work for your digestive system. It’s easy, it’s validated, and it’s all in your breath. Get the FoodMarble AIRE SIBO test: https://amzn.to/3sSDkVV [45:10] All About The Mucus: Why It’s Critical For Your Health Mucus is in your membranes, your airway, your nasal passages, and your GI tract. Mucus is a lubricant and a protective layer. The colon is good at making mucus. However, the small bowel is not as good at making mucus. We're exposed to many things in modern life that screw up the mucus barrier. If you're not eating properly, you will have an impaired mucus barrier. [48:10] How Metabolic Endotoxemia Initiates Insulin Resistance People with insulin resistance will have a pancreas that overcompensates by increasing the production of insulin. When you have high levels of insulin, it causes fat deposition, and it blocks weight loss. How much does endotoxemia contribute to insulin resistance? Well, endotoxemia is a major driver of insulin resistance. When you reverse endotoxemia, you will see insulin drop. Then, you can finally lose weight. Read Metabolic Endotoxemia Initiates Obesity and Insulin Resistance: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17456850/ [50:05] The Best Way To Test Your Gut Microbiome Stool testing is evolving.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Sutton. She earned her Bachelors of Science in Microbiology, Anatomy, and Health and Wellness from Texas State University and Parker University. She earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Parker University. She was drawn to health care because of her extensive personal health struggles, which includes being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 16. Her interests lie in helping her patients prevent health problems, and assisting them in becoming as healthy and pain-free as possible without the use of drugs or surgery. She is focused on diagnosing and correcting the underlying problem rather than masking the symptoms. She currently lives and practices in Dallas, Texas with her loving husband and daughter. In this episode, Dr. Sutton talks about her Chron’s disease diagnosis and getting to the bottom of the root cause. Then, we jump into homocysteine and what your optimal range should be. Dr. Sutton explains the difference between the genes you are born with and epigenetics. Plus, Dr. Sutton talks all about APOE and its correlation with Alzheimer’s disease. Tune in as we chat about getting quality sleep, how fasting can help with head injuries, and what to do after getting your genetic test results. 23andMe Genetic Testing: https://refer.23andme.com/s/ben4 90 Day Detox Program: http://www.ketokampdetox.com Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Unfortunately, they never told her anything about diet or lifestyle.  Eventually, Dr. Sutton figured out that certain foods would cause a problem.  Dr. Sutton put herself on a gluten-free and dairy-free diet.  [07:40] About Homocysteine and Your Optimal Range  Homocysteine is this amino acid that we all have.  If you have too much, it's a problem. If you do not have enough, it's a problem. Unfortunately, the range on lab work is way too large.  You should be in the six to eight range. If you’re above an eight on homocysteine, you are high.  This means you have some cardiovascular damage, and it will increase your risk for dementia-related issues.   [12:10] The Difference Between The Genes We're Born With and Epigenetics The genes you are born with are the cards that you are dealt. You can’t change the genes that you are born with.  Epigenetics is how your environment is going to influence those chains.  You can do something about pretty much every genetic situation.  [16:15] The Correlation Between APOE Genes and Alzheimer’s Disease  The APOE3 gene is most common. About 75% of people have that; it is considered neutral as far as Alzheimer's disease goes.  If you have the APOE4 gene, you are at an increased risk for Alzheimer’s.  APOE2 is pretty rare; only five percent of the population has it. APOE2 is protected against Alzheimer’s disease.  [19:35] Preventing Alzheimer’s Disease: Eating Right For Your APOE4 Gene APOE4 genotypes are at an increased risk for atherosclerosis.  Atherosclerosis can accelerate dementia and Alzheimer's disease.  If you have APOE4, you should eat a Mediterranean-type diet.  Intermittent fasting is really good for people with APOE4.  If you eat earlier in the day and finish eating earlier in the day, you may have better results.  [23:40] The Importance of Quality Sleep When It Comes To Your Health The top priority is to fix your sleep. If you aren’t getting good sleep, then you can’t handle anything else.  Everything is so much easier if you have the energy to do it.  So, if you’re not sleeping through the night, that’s something you need to fix as soon as possible.  Everything will be more difficult if you are not getting quality sleep.  [28:50] After Getting Your Genetic Test, Check Out Genetic Detoxification  There are a lot of different genetic tests on the market. 23andMe is very common. Learn more about 23andMe here: https://refer.23andme.com/s/ben4 If you get 23andMe done, Dr. Sutton says you can create a genetic detoxification report from her website. Check out her website, Genetic Detoxification: https://geneticdetoxification.com/ [31:40] When You’re Fasting, Your Body Will Repair Itself Much Faster  If you have the APOE4 gene, you will have more damage from head injuries. This is why it’s key to know what your genotype is. A critical part of healing after a concussion is fasting.  You need to fast for 24 hours after a head injury.  Ketones are the reason for the decreased damage to the cerebral cortex.  [37:15] Start With The Fundamentals To Turn Your Health Around  Everything comes down to eating right, exercise, sleep, and mental health.  A lot of people are totally unaware of how unhealthy they are. As you get older, it’s more difficult to fix health challenges. Dr. Sutton says to start with the fundamentals when it comes to your health journey.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Robbie Bent. In an effort to affect positive change and address the problem of loneliness and the detrimental effects it has on our individual and collective health, Robbie built a platform that includes physical spaces, a mobile app, a concert tour and a global community. Othership is a digital product to shift your state whenever and wherever you are. Robbie’s app consists of over 250 guided breathwork classes to harness the power of the breath and build promoting habits. A transformative tool that makes up-regulating, down-regulating, and everything in between easeful, effective, and fun. He also goes on tour with live musical breathwork performances, sort of like a Cirque Du Soleil journey inward. In this episode, Robbie speaks about his rock bottom and what he had to do to turn his life around. He talks about the importance of meditation and what it’s like to meditate for ten hours a day for ten days. Then, Robbie dives into breathwork and how breathing can completely change your state. If you’re looking for a free and easy biohack, breathing can be a simple way to improve your health. Tune in as we chat about Othership, how to digest your food better, and the reason you should conquer your fears.

One hundred people were working for him, his parents and friends had invested millions of dollars, and his entire income was tied up. The company failed, and Robbie had to fire one hundred people. Robbie sold his car, moved out of his apartment, and moved back in with his parents. Plus, Robbie was struggling with addiction. After reading The 4-hour Workweek, Robbie turned his life around. Get The 4-hour Workweek here: https://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Workweek-Escape-Live-Anywhere/dp/0307465357/benazadi-20 [08:00] What It Is Like To Meditate Ten Hours A Day For Ten Days It doesn't really matter how much you've been practicing; the difficulty of meditating for ten hours is still the same. After the first few days, you start to ease into the routine. We are always turned on, and we are never bored. How often are you just sitting? Almost never. So, meditating is a nice way to interrupt your routine. [10:55] How Breath-Control Can Change Your State and Heart Rate The breath controls our autonomic nervous system. When you're naturally calm, you will breathe slower. You can actually use your breath to trigger your state. If you need energy in the morning, try sympathetic breathing. Parasympathetic breathing will help you relax. The best way to get into the parasympathetic nervous system is by lengthening the exhale and including breath retention. A big breath in will increase the heart rate and energy. If you are nervous, you need long and slow exhales. [18:00] All About Othership And Finding Peak Experiences A peak experience can happen through breathwork. Othership will help shift your state and quiet the thinking mind. During Covid, Robbie created fear release sessions. The app was created to help people who are struggling with meditation. Plus, there’s a physical space where Robbie has created a community to solve the loneliness pandemic. [23:25] How Doing Breathwork Can Help You Digest Food Better   When you do slow breathing, you’re triggering the parasympathetic state. You will be sending blood flow from the brain and muscles to the organs. That way, you are preparing your body for digestion. Also, eat without looking at your phone. The best thing you can do is be aware while you’re eating. [26:30] Why You Should Practice Breathwork Before Going To Sleep If you eat something acidic before bed, it can affect sleep. Your body needs to regulate its pH balance. As a result, it starts over breathing This can cause dehydration in the evening. If you wake up with a dry mouth, you are mouth breathing. Something you can try is mouth tape. Meditation and breathwork before bed can help with inflammation, breathing patterns, sleep, and dehydration. [29:45] How Breathing Can Replace Caffeine and Increase Blood Flow The “up” section in Othership is creating a fight or flight response. This type of breathwork will send blood flow to the brain. Plus, it will help you get prepared and increase alertness. Breathing is about shifting your state, whereas meditation is about focus and awareness of your thoughts and emotions. You can shift your state with breathing. Think about breathing if you want to reduce your caffeine intake. [33:40] What Robbie Does To Conquer His Fears The more fearful situations you put yourself through, the more your tolerance will increase. Many people are fearful of rejection, so they don’t try. The more you are comfortable with fear, the more you will be willing to try. Get comfortable with discomfort to find what is available to you in life. AND MUCH MORE!
