"How do I keep promises I make to myself?" This is a question I get asked a lot, and it's one that all of us can benefit from knowing the answer to. The ability to make and keep promises directly impacts our level of success in everything we do—whether it's a promise to go to the gym regularly or stick to a diet, to double down on a side hustle or a relationship, or to follow through on writing a book or starting a podcast. Listen in as I talk about the common reasons we don't stick to our own promises, and why we shouldn't beat ourselves up when we fail to meet our own standards. I also share four powerful tips for making better promises and seeing them through to fruition! Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights The word "promise" can be used as either a noun or a verb. As a noun, a promise is "a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing, or that a particular thing will happen." As a verb, when you promise something, you "undertake or declare that something will happen," or "give good grounds for expecting a particular occurrence or situation." Promises can quickly become too strict a commitment that holds too much emotionally-negative weight when not kept. If you're constantly beating yourself up over broken promises, try changing your definition of "promise" from that of a noun to a verb. That means committing to the path rather than the destination. It means committing to the pursuit of the goal: the process, baby steps, and small wins required to accomplish what you set out to do. We know that we can keep getting away with broken promises when the only person we're accountable to is ourselves. Take the pressure off of yourself by sharing your commitments with people you're comfortable confiding in. This not only helps you grow your sphere of accountability beyond yourself, but it also allows you to gain precious feedback from those you trust. Lean into positive reinforcement. Reward yourself only for promises you actually keep, and dismiss the promises you fail to keep. When you assign feelings of happiness, contentment, and fulfillment to small kept promises, you're more likely to follow through with larger promises. If there's a particular promise that you're continually breaking not long after making it, consider that you don't really want it. For the sake of your mental health and the likelihood of fulfilling all other future promises you make to yourself, you might want to walk away from that one promise you keep failing to commit to.

Chase here! In this solo episode, I'm breaking down why I started testosterone replacement therapy a year ago. I share my results almost 15 months later and why I've decided to stop. If you've followed my TRT journey on social media, you've seen my dosages, you've seen how I've changed physically, and you've seen how my numbers have gone up at the gym. But there's a lot that I haven't shared yet. I haven't shared how I've administered my dosages, nor the side effects I've experienced. Listen in as I come clean about my testosterone replacement therapy journey, from why I started in the first place, to specifics regarding my labs and personal regimen, and why my journey is coming to an end. Follow me on Instagram @chase_chewning Key Highlights I was determined to enter my 37th birthday in October 2022 as the best me possible. I didn't just want to look at my best. I wanted to feel at my best. I was no slouch at 36. I was doing great physically, and I felt it. But I knew there was room for fine-tuning. I became more regimented, both inside and outside the gym, but being in my mid-30s, I began to struggle with keeping up that level of motivation. Not to mention it was tough to maintain my body composition despite my increased efforts. This was why I decided to explore TRT to provide that edge. If you're considering TRT, the very first thing you should do is check in with yourself. Do a head-to-toe scan and be as objective as you can, and even a little critical, about what you see and feel. Get clear on what you want out of your day and out of your training. Compare those ideals with your current day-to-day realities. Always keep in mind that TRT is not a quick fix—not that you should ever pursue anything because it's a quick fix anyway! I ultimately decided to stop testosterone replacement therapy for two reasons. The first was that I experienced skin issues that slightly impacted my social life. Secondly, even though TRT did not negatively impact my sexual activity, I've recently decided to prioritize my fertility health over my muscle mass. These two reasons are why, after 14 months, I've begun to titrate down and eventually go off TRT completely.

I recently sat down with Eli Weinstein to share my decades-long journey to discovering and embracing the real Chase Chewning! It's a journey that reached its critical point when I turned 35 during the COVID outbreak in 2020. Like everyone else, my world was flipped on its head, and I'd started questioning deep-seated beliefs I'd held all my life. My goal? To rid myself of the beliefs that didn't serve me and replace them with beliefs that do. The one question that I always asked myself, whether or not I was conscious of it, was: "Do I feel safe?" And ultimately, that boiled down to yet another question: "Am I loved?" And if I felt no safety or love at any moment—in holding onto a given belief, in interacting with a certain individual, in inhabiting a particular room—then I gained the clarity and the courage to climb over those walls that kept me in and found my freedom. Eli and I give our thoughts on the process of living an intentional life with a full commitment to oneself, from setting healthy boundaries, to avoiding a life lived in fear of other people's opinions, to the true meaning of living life ever forward. Follow me on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow me on TikTok @chase_chewning Key Highlights We take a lot of our beliefs for granted, mainly because we lived our whole lives up to this point assuming they were fundamental "truths". But if we really sit down and think about those beliefs, we can determine which of them serve us and which of them are nothing more than destructive forces that impede our growth. When we find ourselves needing to walk away from someone in our life who no longer supports our mental or emotional health, we need to fall back on our boundaries. It's easier said than done to create strong, healthy boundaries, but we need them in order to stay in a constant state of safety, security, and love. We fall into selfishness when we rely on others to dictate our moral compass. This can be as serious as having our values shaped by other people or as insignificant as wearing certain clothes to avoid being judged in a certain way by those around us. Living life "ever forward" comes down to sharing lessons learned from significant, often difficult, life experiences with others, whether through conversations or creating content or even monetizing those lessons through a product.

Sam Visnic is a Certified Massage Therapist specializing in neuromuscular and clinical massage, as well as a Certified Corrective Exercise Therapist. He's also the host of Who Knows This?? Podcast. Follow Sam Visnic @releasemuscletherapy Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Key Highlights What is hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that uses guided hypnosis to help a client reach a transcendent-like state of focus, concentration, diminished peripheral awareness, and heightened suggestability. Sam explains how hypnotherapy and sensory-based focus can be used in therapeutic processes to reconstruct our internal experience. He notes the similarities and differences between hypnotherapy, meditation, and mindfulness. The world is so stimulating that many of us have realized we're not as relaxed as we think we are. That's why people feel loopy and out of it after their first hypnotherapy session - it's because they're actually relaxed and they've forgotten what that feels like. Once you build that awareness, you can begin cultivating more of that in your life. Sam describes how creating deep change isn't harder than creating simple change… it just requires a different set of skills. Resilience is one of the best skills you can develop to create change, maintain momentum, and accomplish your goals. People are using hypnotherapy to change the gut microbiome, improve gut health, and even heal IBS. How? Does hypnotherapy work just as well as the FODMAP diet? Tune in to find out! Lastly, Sam highlights the benefits of hypnotherapy in treating chronic pain.

Humble the Poet goes deep about all things self-love, romantic love, overcoming societal pressures, and the true value of self-awareness and vulnerability. He highlights a few concepts from his new book, "How to Be Love(d): Simple Truths for Going Easier on Yourself, Embracing Imperfection, & Loving Your Way to a Better Life". We all want a better, easier life, and we all want love. We all want to love and be loved… but what stops us from experiencing that and how can we create more pathways for love to enter our lives? That's what we're exploring in this episode. Humble the Poet (Kanwer Mahl) is a Canadian-born artist, rapper, spoken-word poet, international best-selling author, and former elementary school teacher with a wildly popular blog with over 100,000 monthly readers. He is the author of "Unlearn", "Things No One Else Can Teach Us", and most recently, "How to Be Love(d)". Follow Humble the Poet @humblethepoet Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Humble the Poet sheds light on his upbringing as a child of immigrants, from the fomo of celebrating holidays to the subtle awards for Americanizing yourself. What is society? What is society trying to pressure you to do? When you reflect on that, you begin to see the distinction between reward and punishment, needs and wants, truth and falsehoods. Why is it so hard to find love or to keep love? If you find yourself thinking that in a relationship, ask yourself: is this actually love? Love should not be demanding anything of you, other than honesty and presence. Humble shares the meaning behind his quote: "Love is the breeze, the work that we have to do is to open the sail." Vulnerability is the key that unlocks love in all forms. If you don't have love in your life, maybe your sail is just closed. How is vulnerability different than honesty? Tune in to hear Humble's answer! Humble describes why we should abandon the concept of good and bad. We're more in control of our relationship with ourselves. If we were kinder on ourselves, it'd be easier to be kinder to others. One of the biggest mistakes we make with love is measuring its value through a timeline. Love doesn't have a timeline. To Humble, it's all about creating pathways of love.

Together, they break down the benefits of using psychedelics and how you can achieve the same mental health benefits without them. Change is inevitable when we choose to work on ourselves. Whether it's through mind work, body work, emotional work, or soul work, you're never going to be the same person you went in as. Isn't that such a freeing concept?

Intention and integration are the keys to receiving and retaining the benefits of psychedelic experiences. Should everybody do psychedelics? Who shouldn't take psychedelics? If you don't immediately find meaning in your psychedelic experience, don't try to force meaning. It may come to you days, weeks, or even months later. "When you just surrender and let go, 99% of life shows up for you, and that's integration." Why is it so hard for us to surrender and let go? The answer lies in our divine masculine and feminine.

What is a toxic relationship? How do I know I'm in a toxic relationship? How do I know my partner is manipulating me and is there a way out? Listen in to hear Mac's answers. According to Mac, the most common issue in relationships in 2023 is effective communication. Mac shares helpful tips for effectively communicating with your partner without (or after) criticizing or attacking them. How can manipulators stop manipulating their partners? It starts with finding understanding during conflict, then problem-solving. The two biggest complaints women have in relationships are no emotional connection and lack of presence ("you're never there"). The two biggest complaints for men are too much fighting and not enough sex. In reality, they're complaining about the same things, just expressing them differently. Are you a man who has trouble listening to your partner? Tune in to hear Mac's advice on becoming a better listener and the power of having 'check-ins' with your partner. Mac explains how to stay present when things are the most difficult in your relationship, then shares his do's and don'ts of intimacy. Lastly, he shines light on what you can do to navigate the difficult transition from couple to parents.

He's also the author of "Intrinsic Motivation: How to Love Your Work and Succeed as Never Before".

Benjamin and Azrya Bequer shed light on how emotional intelligence, mirroring, and spiritual integration can help you elevate your relationships and co-create a healthier, more beautiful world. They offer sage advice on communicating to your partner during difficult times and their favorite tool for finding growth in the paradoxes of life. If you're ready to surrender to growth and self-love, this episode will help you do that. Benjamin "Bee" Bequer and Azrya Bequer are the co-founding stewards of BEQOMING, a platform dedicated to providing the future stewards of society with the emotional intelligence tools to elevate humanity and co-create a more beautiful world. Bee and Azrya are also the co-authors of "BEQOMING: Everything You Didn't Know You Wanted". Follow Bee and Azrya Bequer @beqoming Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Our education system, and our society as a whole, lacks an emphasis on emotional intelligence. This boils down to an inability to be in relationship with ourselves. Bee and Azrya shed light on their use of plant medicine early into their relationship during a time of doubt, fear, and insecurity. They describe the powerful concept of mirroring in relationships - how mirroring shows us our true selves and what we need to work on within ourselves. If we are in an awakening, what are we awakening to? Are we headed in the right direction? Tune in to hear their thoughts! What does it take to truly "surrender"? Can plant medicine help me surrender? "I don't know if you can truly surrender if you don't have an established relationship with something greater than yourself," Azrya says. "What's important is that you can feel the relationship with it. It's not just a concept… it's actually a felt experience." Every version of ourselves, those that we love and those that we've hated, is still inside of us today. Loving all those versions and embracing the contrast within yourself and your partner is a practice of self-love and integration. How can I communicate to my partner that their pain/struggle is not serving me or our relationship? Listen in to hear Bee and Azrya's candid advice!

He breaks down his best practices for managing pain, how to get the best outcomes with your health and fitness providers, and why we need more help in life than we think. As humans, we experience so many different types of pain. Physical pain, mental pain, emotional pain, financial pain… and the level of uncertainty that comes with those pains can be overwhelming.

Follow Sean Pastuch @drseanpastuch Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Sean shares his definition of pain, noting the four aspects of pain that affect our responses and relationship to pain. He explains how to reduce your anxiety and uncertainty around pain, so you can make conscious decisions for how to approach pain management and/or treatment. When working with fitness trainers, doctors, bodyworkers, etc., it can be easy to not share certain information or ask the best questions. This can hinder your adherence, quality of care, and outcomes. Listen in to learn how to best explain your experience and goals to your providers and ask the right questions so you can get the best outcomes and enjoy the process. Navigating the financial aspect of pain management: Should we rethink financial pain in order to alleviate another type of pain? Tune in to hear Sean's candid answer along with what he learned from hiring a mentor for $1,000/month while he was broke. We can't manage pain, reach our health goals, or feel grateful for our progress all on our own. "The belief that we don't need help robs us of our ability to be grateful," Sean says. Sean speaks on why the biggest need in mental and physical health is awareness. He describes his own biggest pain point in life and how he's navigating it.

Neurophysiologist and brain coach, Louisa Nicola, is back to talk about how to optimize brain health and performance with exercise. Louisa sheds light on why exercise is so important for brain function, the best form of exercise for the brain, and how to take control over your brain health to prevent stroke, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's disease. If there's one episode that will persuade the most sedentary person to finally prioritize exercise in their life, it's this one. Louisa shares some incredible facts about the brain, disease, and exercise that will make you less scared of disease and more empowered to take care of your body. Louisa Nicola is a neurophysiologist, brain coach to elite athletes, and Founder of Neuro Athletics, a full-service neuroscience diagnostic testing company. Follow Louisa Nicola @louisanicola_ Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights To optimize your performance at work and consistently operate at your best, you need to think of yourself as an athlete. An athlete bases their life on the tactics of their sport (their job), the technical side, the sports psychology side, nutrition, and strength. "If you base your life on those pillars, the ROI is exponential," Louisa says. What does neuroscience currently say about the benefits of exercise on brain health? Louisa explains the difference between exercise and physical activity, noting why resistance training is better for the brain than aerobics. She details a study that shows a reversal in mild cognitive impairment (pre-dementia) from just six months of exercise alone. You are in control of your brain health. Lifestyle interventions give you the control over developing/preventing stroke, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Start to assess yourself. The #1 thing that is controllable, yet can collapse the capillaries in your brain, is consistent high blood pressure (hypertension), which can decrease brain function. Do you check your blood pressure regularly? Louisa shares why she's so intrigued by vascular health right now and the crucial role your veins play in brain health.

Chase recently sat down with Michael Chernow on the Kreatures Of Habit Podcast to discuss the hidden benefits of walking, one thing that radically improves sleep health, and why you must make YOURSELF your number one priority. They speak on creating a foundation for your life built on discipline and fortified by daily habits, as a way to prevent your days from becoming aimless and filled with regret. He and Michael ended up diving so deep into the importance of forming healthy physical and mental habits, that they wound up having to split their conversation into two episodes! If you enjoyed this discussion, make sure you don't miss part 2, in which the pair give their thoughts on what it means to be a modern man. Follow Michael @michaelchernow Follow me @chase_chewning Key Highlights It's easy to take for granted the holistic impact of walking. Says Chase: "One can maintain a certain body weight, body composition, sanity, mental health [...] just from moving our two feet all day." Before adding on another new supplement in your morning routine, it's important to check in with yourself first and assess how you feel. If you're feeling sharp, energetic, and ready to tackle the day, you won't need anything extra. "If you're looking for one thing you can do right now to radically improve your sleep health," says Chase, "wear an eye mask!" It's not selfish to be your number one priority. In fact, it's actually selfless to ensure you grow to be the best person you can be. Without a strong foundation, you'll start your days without aim and end them with regret. The foundation you need is discipline, which can only be built through a series of daily habits that keep both the mind and body in shape.

Today we are joined by Dr. Mark Horowitz, a clinical research fellow in psychiatry and Co-Founder of Outro Health, an online clinic providing specialized support for those who want to safely stop using psychiatric drugs. Join us as we explore the deprescribing movement and discuss how to take charge of your mental health by making informed decisions with your healthcare providers. With Dr. Horowitz's expertise and personal experience, you'll learn about the benefits of deprescribing and gain valuable insights on how to feel empowered throughout your mental health journey. Tune in now to start your journey towards a happier, healthier you! Key Highlights "A part of medicine, not just psychiatry, should be using medications or interventions such that the benefits outweigh the harms, and if that changes, then the medication should be stopped," Mark says. Most people (even doctors) have been told and believe that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. If you believe that, why would you stop a medication? Mark shares his research on depression and serotonin, and tells us why mental illness is not all about the chemicals in our brain, but about our lives as a whole. 95% of studies on drugs are funded by the manufacturers of those drugs. "They clearly have an interest in studies that show when to start drugs and much less of an interest in when to stop drugs," Mark says. How much of this is in our control as patients? How do we make sure we're receiving the best care from our healthcare providers? Tune in to hear Mark's candid answers! Surprisingly, the place Mark received the most useful advice on safely stopping/weaning off antidepressants was peer support websites. That was a big reason why Outro is inspired by peer support. Chase and Mark share tips and insights on how to better understand your mental health so you can be more educated, informed, and empowered to make decisions with your healthcare providers.

Andrew Herr, Founder & CEO of Fount, shares his first-of-its-kind jet lag protocol to maintain and even optimize health and wellness while traveling. Flying is rough on the body, and Andrew discovered why. He explains the inflammatory response that occurs due to the change in air pressure, which impairs how you think, feel, and perform.

Welcome to the podcast where we discuss groundbreaking theories and discoveries that change the way we view the world. Today, we're joined by Harvard Psychiatrist, Dr. Chris Palmer, who shares his groundbreaking Brain Energy Theory of Mental Illness. In this episode, Dr. Palmer helps us understand the root cause of mental illness, the connection between mental and physical health, and how we can actually get better. He explains that mental illness is actually metabolic dysfunction in the brain and shines a light on the current state of mental illness and mental healthcare in America. One of the biggest issues with the current mental healthcare system is that too many people are told they must sacrifice their physical health for mental stability. They're often prescribed medication with side effects and are left to hope that their mental health improves. Dr. Palmer believes that there's something wrong with this system and that the standard of care in the mental health field needs drastic improvement. As an academic physician and psychiatric researcher at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Palmer has a focus on helping people suffering from treatment-resistant mental illnesses, including mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and personality disorders. He is the author of Brain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health--and Improving Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, and More. Dr. Palmer's work is incredibly important, as far too many people do not get better with our current approaches to mental health treatment. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental illness, this episode is a must-listen.

Gloria summarizes her research on human attention span and remote work. Then, she dissects the three pillars of focus and attention: the anatomy of attention, underlying forces of distraction, and focused rhythm and balance. Are digital detoxes actually beneficial?

The world is noisier than it's ever been. It is becoming increasingly difficult to focus our attention where we want to. As a culture where overwhelm is the norm and noise, both internal and external, is so prevalent, it can seem impossible to find moments of silence and time to be still. Leigh Marz and Justin Zorn, authors of "Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise," are on the podcast today to talk about the meaning and power of silence in a noisy world, how to find silence, why you need it, and how it can change your life. Their book discusses why silence is important for our personal and collective wellbeing and how to experience deep silence while living a full life. As well as exploring the concept of silence, the book also explores what goes on in nothingness and where silence truly exists. Leigh is a collaboration consultant and leadership coach to federal agencies and major companies. Justin has served as a meditation teacher and legislative director in the US Congress. Together Justin and Leigh cofounded Astrea Strategies, a consultancy that specializes in helping individuals and organizations develop solutions from a place of attention and centeredness. Connect with Leigh on LinkedIn Follow her on Twitter @LeighMarz Connect with Justin on LinkedIn Follow him on Twitter @JustinZorn Key Highlights Silence is less about finding a quiet place and more about being present. We experience silence in spaces that allow us to avoid interference with our perception and intention. Our everyday lives are full of opportunities to listen actively and stay present, but how often do we do this? The absence of sound does not always imply silence. What makes sound different from noise? How can we find quiet in a noisy environment? Are quiet and silence subjective experiences? What can we do to experience internal quiet and flow? Our fear of getting quiet and seeking silence can prevent us from experiencing silence. Why is that? How to avoid being overwhelmed by noise by tuning your senses to silence and being a discerning listener Is silence something you need to find? Justin explains that quiet can be accessed at all times and shares ways he has utilized micro-moments in his life to get quiet.

Tune in to hear Julie describe this in more detail. What is the different between functional, traditional, and precision medicine? Julie breaks these down for us and explains why you should consider leaning into functional and precision medicine more. Julie speaks on the importance of having a relationship with your doctor as well as the best ways to advocate for yourself and strengthen your patient/provider relationship. She also talks about how to present your health concerns to your doctor to ensure they really hear you. Chase describes how Wild Health helped him discover his predisposition for cardiovascular disease and the subsequent choices he made to improve his baselines and prevent the disease. Julie details why she worked with a mindset coach as a CrossFit competitor and how mindset shifts can significantly improve your physiological health. The external is not always an accurate representation of the internal, meaning you can look healthy on the outside while being very unhealthy on the inside.

Jeff Byers is a former NFL player and the current CEO of Amp Human, which offers innovative products that help athletes push the limits on their performance, adaptation, and recovery. With an interest in both sports and entrepreneurship from an early age, Jeff always harbored an interest in finding creative ways to push his boundaries for growth as a human. "I was always thinking about the little things I could do to get better," he says. "I tried to use my brain to work smarter than always just work harder." After retiring from the NFL, Jeff worked for a few years in the finance space before joining an early-stage biotech startup in late 2015. This company had discovered a way to deliver pharmaceuticals through the skin, bypassing the GI system which often limits the body's ability to optimally absorb vitamins and minerals taken orally. Not long after joining the company, Jeff and one of his partners developed a broad vision for a business offering products specifically formulated to optimize human performance, a space in which they saw, at the time, a huge gap in the market. Listen in as Jeff talks all things human performance and optimization and why he refers to it as a "broad spectrum". He also discusses the benefits of Amp Human's flagship product, PR Lotion, and its newly released D+ Lotion. Key Highlights Jeff explains how to differentiate between human performance and biohacking, and how he optimizes his cognitive abilities. Routines are great for introducing discipline; but could they also be a limiting factor to evolving, adapting, and breaking past barriers with regard to human performance? What does Jeff mean by "broad spectrum human performance"? Jeff speaks on the relationship between mindset and human performance. How do Amp Human's products, particularly PR Lotion, help humans break their limits and achieve more?
