LET IT OUT24 Okt 2013

017 | BRANDON GILBERT

Today’s an iconic day in Wonderland as we welcome our first male guest to WWRadio. Who better to break our longstanding (16 episode) gender gap than the extremely knowledgable and inspiring Brandon Gilbert of Hyperion Herbs? This episode is two firsts for WWRadio: in addition to our first male it is (I think) the longest episode to date since Brandon and I dive deep into critical concepts and inspiring insights. In this eclectic conversation we cover everything from the value of teachers & tools for learning to single task & shutdown technology, how to get started with tonic herbs, and learning to listen to your body’s needs.

My favorite lines & nuggets from this interview: TWEETABLES

“Having teachers who see us for who we really are is massively valuable.” @brandon1gilbert via #WWRadio w/ @katiedalebout

“I’d rather spend time on my inherent strengths than waste time trying to be better at things I’m not good at.” @brandon1gilbert via #WWRadio w/ @katiedalebout

“Technology isn’t going away & what we need to do is figure out what it is & how we can best use it.” @brandon1gilbert via #WWRadio w/ @katiedalebout

“If something is really important, we’ll know about it.” @brandon1gilbert via #WWRadio w/ @katiedalebout

“Develop the habit, because if your body hasn’t had something how can it miss it.” @brandon1gilbert via #WWRadio w/ @katiedalebout

TIPS: Create a technology bedtime a few hours before you go to sleep and a set time in the morning to not check email until you absolutely have to rather than first thing when you open your eyes. Setting up a buffer of time to consciously decide to chill and not be so connected is going to set the tone for the rest of the day.

Brandon’s Challenge | Simple Tonic developed exclusively for WWonderland!

A really simple and delicious Wonderland tonic:

-8 oz of the best water you can get

-1/2 tsp of organic schizandra powder

-Juice of 1/2 a lemon

This will make a delicious lemonade. Feel free to add sweetener if needed. You can drink it warm if desired, it works both ways. Schizandra is great for mental clarity, reducing stress, while also support stage 1 and 2 liver detoxification and boosting glutathione levels.
