Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

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.

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. Join us as we dive into the Brain Energy Theory of Mental Illness and learn how we can improve our approach to mental healthcare.

Do some people really thrive when multitasking? Are women better multitaskers than men? To answer these questions, Gloria breaks down the concept of controlled information processing, which proves that multitasking is not as productive and beneficial as you think. 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.

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?

What's the secret to putting together a perfectly imperfect formula to find success in our perfectly imperfect life? Award-winning researcher and health coach Michelle Segar sits down with Chase to talk about what it takes to achieve lasting changes in our health and fitness. She explains why it's so important to build a strong foundation of understanding around human behavior, and how these behaviors influence how we make decisions, big and small, in our day-to-day lives. Michelle discusses the role of goal-setting and motivation on our journey of growth, and how having a strong "why" drives us forward as we make our daily choices. She encourages us to always have self-compassion, and to see the path of lasting change as an opportunity to better not just ourselves, but those we care about as well! Michelle Segar is an award-winning, NIH-funded researcher at the University of Michigan with almost thirty years studying how to help people adopt self-care behaviors, like exercise and healthy eating, in ways that bring meaning and joy and can survive the complexity and unpredictability of the real world. Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights When is motivation the answer? Does it ever actually serve us or is it always going to be nothing more than a crutch? Getting clear on your "why" is, more often than not, the missing link between making lifestyle changes, and sustaining those changes Michelle explains why she prefers to use the term "daily choice making" instead of "behavior change" Not every big decision needs to be life-or-death. When we're on the verge of making choices related to our health and fitness, having compassion for ourselves is more motivational and effective than judging ourselves harshly. Michelle shares how we can create our own "self-care hierarchy" Episode resources: Save 15% on organic instant lattes and coffee with with code CHASE at https://www.StrongCoffeeCompany.com Save 15% on natural CBD products with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.CuredNutrition.com Watch and subscribe on YouTube

Sarah Fay is the author of the memoir, Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses. Pathological explores the consequences of overidentifying with a psychiatric diagnosis and how doing so can lead to self-stigmatization and self-limitation. During this episode of Ever Forward, Sarah discusses mental health diagnoses, from what they are to where they come from, how she lived through six of them, and how we can embrace and understand them better as a society. The stigma that society places on mental illness is well known, but what about the stigma we place on ourselves? Could that actually be more harmful? In Sarah's opinion, yes. Sarah discusses candidly in this episode how being diagnosed with Anorexia as a child caused her to over identify with the diagnosis and attach her thoughts and feelings to it, which led her to believe that she wouldn't be capable of doing many things in life, such as maintain a long-term relationship or hold down a full-time job. Fortunately, Sarah's perspective on her mental health has evolved to where she doesn't feel this way anymore. Her ability to reframe her diagnoses and honor her experiences has been a result of good mental health practitioners, a supportive family, and her willingness to take charge of learning more about her diagnoses and where mental health diagnoses come from. Follow Sarah on Instagram @sarahfayauthor Follow Sarah on Twitter @sarahfayauthor Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights: Sarah discusses the experience of receiving her first psychiatric diagnosis at the age of 12 and what led to it. How Sarah views her diagnoses in hindsight after 25 years in the mental health system. Sarah discusses how a psychiatrist made her think differently about her diagnosis and how she began to investigate the history and origins of mental health diagnoses. How Sarah distanced herself from her diagnosis, freeing herself from self-inflicted limitations Sarah's views on the advantages and disadvantages of receiving a diagnosis, as well as how mental health practitioners can better communicate with patients about their symptoms and treatment options An evolutionary perspective on anxiety: How our brains keep us alive In what ways can a diagnosis empower us?

In today's episode, Chase and May talk about relationships, boundary setting, and healing. We will all encounter people in our lives that test our boundaries or share different values from us. On top of that, we are all constantly changing and healing, which can create friction in our relationships.

Ending relationships is not a failure, and it is okay to leave space in your heart for people while realizing they cannot be in your life right now.

Furthermore, she discusses how she developed boundaries to protect her wellbeing and maintain a positive attitude toward others.

It is okay to let go of people who are not serving you in your life. Chase and May talk about their views on setting boundaries, moving on from some people, even family, and their thoughts on divorce as a solution to relationship problems.
