The New Poisons Lurking Around You – Save Your Longevity : 1313

Learn about the roots of drama addiction, how it harms the mind and body, and how to recognize signs of it in yourself and others.If you’re on drama overload or someone close to you plows through your life dragging drama everywhere—it’s sucking the energy out of you. News, world events, and social media can cause a firestorm of drama, too. All of it causes physiological and mental chaos that weakens your resilience to life’s real stressors. In this conversation, you’re going to learn what causes someone to develop a drama addiction, some of the main symptoms of drama addiction, and ways to heal from it and keep it out of your life.Holistic psychologist and educator Dr. Scott Lyons joins the show to talk about the pain, limiting beliefs, and trauma that show up in you and others who may have drama addiction. He focuses on what drama addiction actually is and how it can affect your mind, body, and life perspective.Drama has become a global drug, where people are overstimulated and under-connected. Stress, too, plays a surprisingly large role in drama addiction. Other things you’ll learn about drama addiction:What feeds and feels good about it.How trauma influences it.How weaponized empathy poses a danger to your personal life and work life.How to create boundaries with a drama addict.How to thrive if there’s a drama addict in your environment.How to move from drama bonding to more authentic relationships.Scott’s identified nearly a dozen addicted-to-drama archetypes in his new book, “Addicted to Drama: Healing Dependency on Crisis and Chaos in Yourself and Others.” You may see yourself or others in one or several of them—and that’s good—because then you can move into healing. He outlines a very action-oriented approach with 1) help questions, 2) observation & practice, 3) self-healing statements, and 4) things a therapist might suggest.Not sure how to recognize drama in yourself or the people in your personal or work life?

He’s been teaching professional athletes and Fortune 100 executives how to develop unshakeable mindsets for the past 15 years.“The traditional belief that hard work is the only way to succeed is flawed,” David says.In his newest book, “Do It: The Life-Changing Power of Taking Action,” he gives you other options to explore and tells you why they work with an unconventional approach: “The heart is your armor. The brain is your sword. Together, working as one unit, this is what makes you a warrior: the brain and heart connection.” Today’s conversation gets into how you can defeat fear and take action by using a no-fail formula to eliminate hesitation. This requires repetition (your daily habits) plus instinct (your gut feelings) plus trust (belief in the process).

He came on to lead Global Hospitality and Strategy.Then 52, he was twice the age of the average Airbnb employee. This earned him the title “Airbnb's Modern Elder” who was as curious as he was wise.

Here's what you must know about the health risks and extensive symptoms of breast implant illness, as well as removal solutions. Dr. Robert Whitfield MD discusses the often-overlooked health risks associated with breast implants. Women who experience breast implant illness have symptoms like brain fog, memory loss, fatigue, joint pain, anxiety, and many more.While there’s not a definitive cause of breast implant illness, a common theory points to an immune system response. Breast implants in the body can lead to persistent foreign body reactions, silicone toxicity, heavy metal exposure, biofilm development around the implants, and free radical/oxidative damage. Over time, these reactions weaken the immune system and cause health symptoms from minor to severe. Your autoimmune response, endocrine system, thyroid & adrenals, and gut all could be affected.Dr. Robert Whitfield MD’s an Austin-based plastic surgeon who’s cared for hundreds of women with breast implant illness, performs breast explants, and teaches other surgeons about this illness and treatment methods. In his years of experience in breast reconstruction for cancer patients, microsurgery, and a deep understanding of the body's reactions to foreign materials, he's developed a unique insight into the world of breast implant illness.This episode serves as a guide to what could be happening in your body, what symptoms to watch for, and breast implant removal options if you suspect you may have breast implant illness.

Learn about nitric oxide’s crucial role in your body systems, how to naturally produce more of it, and how to supplement effectively and safely. Research scientist Nathan Bryan, Ph.D., has been involved in nitric oxide research for the past 25 years and has made many discoveries in the field. He’s an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry. You'll find out how nitric oxide works within major body functions and what you can do to increase your body's natural production of it.Pneuma Nitric Oxide sponsored this episode.Human performance depends on sufficient oxygen and nutrient delivery to organs, tissues, and cells so they can do their job. Nitric oxide controls oxygen and nutrient delivery. It’s now recognized “as one of the most important molecules produced in the body of humans,” Nathan says. “It's a vasodilator, so it controls the regulation of blood flow. It's what's responsible for oxygen and nutrient delivery to every organ, tissue, and cell in the body.”That’s why it’s so important to find the right carrier to effectively deliver this complex and bioactive gas that’s gone in less than a second. Nathan was one of the first scientists to develop a technology to make a solid dose form of nitric oxide.He shares information about Pneuma Nitric Oxide’s key products, like its lozenges, and the N1O1 skincare line. The lozenges open small blood vessels internally and the topicals open superficial blood vessels on the skin to improve blood flow and cellular turnover. He explains how to use a nitric oxide-generating serum on your skin from his N1O1 skincare line that enhances blood flow and promotes wound healing. Nathan presents the anti-aging, performance-enhancing, and nootropic benefits of nitric oxide along with its role in improving stem cell function, controlling telomerase activity, and improving mitochondrial function.He identifies the different isoforms of nitric oxide for you, noting that you should choose a nitric oxide supplement that delivers the same amount of nitric oxide that the body would normally produce. He emphasizes the importance of restoring the body's ability to naturally produce nitric oxide and debunks the use of nitric oxide precursors such as L-arginine and citrulline. He also stresses using safe and effective nitric oxide products.SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: Go to https://n1o1.com and use code DAVE to get 10% off and free shipping.Watch this episode on YouTube!
