1201: Benjamin Bikman | Insulin Resistance Is Killing Half of America

Daniel Pink (@DanielPink) is the author of New York Times Best Seller When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, which examines the psychology, biology, and economics behind scheduling for optimal effect -- and why your ideal time to get something done may widely differ from someone else's. What We Discuss with Daniel Pink: Timing is everything -- but we're only now beginning to connect the dots between fields of research to discover the science behind how timing actually works. How humans are wired for time by chronotypes, how to identify our own particular chronotype, and what we can do to match our schedules to this chronotype. What the trough is, how it differs according to chronotype, and how it affects the decisions we make -- for better or worse. How observing the nappuccino and other restorative breaks during the day can minimize the worst effects of the trough. Why lunch is really the most important meal of the day. And much more...

If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Hollywood: gross as it ever was! Do you ever feel threatened or outright disgusted when you think of your significant other's "colorful" dating history? If you've got a cleavage-staring problem, you might benefit from the eye color drill and this listener's feedback. Does crowdsourcing the work of creative professionals devalue their time? How do you express empathy and support for someone who never follows your advice -- even though the consequences usually prove such advice is consistently sound? You can't force old friends you care about to make positive changes in their lives, but do you have to put up with them if they're unrepentantly insufferable? How do busy people find time to relax? Why on Earth would you get into a workplace relationship? How do you do Internet research on people you'd like to meet without feeling like a stalker? Where do you draw the line to give the benefit of the doubt by reaching out and giving, versus spending more time trying to engage with someone who doesn't care? Recommendation of the Week: Bluegrass Covers Spotify Playlist Shoutout to American Dream University! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

Shaun T (@ShaunT) has become one of the most recognizable fitness trainers in the world while running programs like Hip Hop Abs, Insanity, and Shaun Week. He's also the author of T Is for Transformation: Unleash the 7 Superpowers to Help You Dig Deeper, Feel Stronger, and Live Your Best Life. What We Discuss with Shaun T: Why Shaun T believes in living life with truth, trust, and transparency after decades of hiding in the closet about his sexuality -- and how most of us are in the closet about something whether we realize it or not. What Shaun uncovered about his own patterns of behavior by going to therapy. Looking at our life as a series of turning points, and how we can use those turning points to continue moving forward. Using our anger to motivate us instead of hold us down. Why we often keep ourselves down so others around us won't get angry or jealous. And much more...

Todd Kashdan (@toddkashdan) is a Professor of Psychology and Senior Scientist at the Center for the Advancement of Well-Being at George Mason University and co-author of The Upside of Your Dark Side: Why Being Your Whole Self -- Not Just Your "Good" Self -- Drives Success and Fulfillment. What We Discuss with Todd Kashdan: Why trying to be positive and happy all the time may be harming your ability to get things done and achieve the results you want. How what you may think of as negative emotions -- like anger -- can be useful superpowers with the proper awareness and application. The problem with living in a time and place when distraction from discomfort comes in an easier and greater variety than ever before. Why every decision you make now is based on how you expect to feel in the future -- and you probably underestimate your ability to tolerate distress. How you can use the discomfort caveat to ease out of the "put on a happy face" rut around others. And much more...

Jordan (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason (@jpdef) are joined by Marni Kinrys (@winggirlmethod) for this round of Feedback Friday! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Is there a psychological issue at play if you can't help but look at a woman's cleavage in conversation? Is there a way to change this habit? Though you used to be outgoing and oblivious to what people thought of you, you've found yourself more shy and reserved in social situations lately. How can you get back to your normal stride? Here's one quick way to determine if trying to win back your "just a friend" ex is the right call for you. If you feel like you only have time to meet new people on Tinder, do you have time to invest in a serious relationship? How young is too young to move in with a significant other? How can a female athlete who's stuck in her social circle as "one of the guys" break out of the dreaded friend zone? What can you do to make it clear that you're non-sexual before you throw up when your best friend kisses you on the lips? The label of being "in a relationship" isn't all that high pressure -- you either are or you're not. So is your friend with benefits just keeping you around as an option?

Jason Flom (@itsjasonflom) is the founder and CEO of Lava Records responsible for launching acts such as Katy Perry, Kid Rock, and Lorde, a philanthropist who has supported and championed various political and social causes, the host of podcast Wrongful Conviction with Jason Flom, and the co-author of Lulu Is a Rhinoceros. What We Discuss with Jason Flom: Why Jason has always rooted for the underdog -- from bullied siblings to sports teams to endangered species to the wrongfully incarcerated -- and how he's passed this sensibility along to the next generation of Floms. How one stays relevant in the entertainment industry, which is always asking: "What have you done for me lately?" The role relationships play at the top of the music game -- one of the most competitive industries on the planet. What we can learn from the wrongfully convicted, and why many of us are -- for the grace of good fortune -- just a hair away from a similar fate. Why Jason's bulldog is actually a rhinoceros and what he hopes this lesson will teach us about tolerance. And much more...

What We Discuss with Phil Hellmuth: The epiphany Phil Hellmuth had in his early twenties that set the course for the rest of his life. Nonverbal tells and body language for reading other people at the poker table. Why poker is more about playing the people across the table from you rather than the cards in your hands. How poker players control their emotions while playing. How Phil's mindsets and key belief systems have helped him excel in the world of poker and beyond. And much more...

How do you end a mismatched relationship for good and make the other person understand your reasons? Is there a reason not to testify anonymously in a big case if you have the option?
