Ep 470Understanding Supplement Labels with Jared St. Clair

E

Supplements, Reading Labels, CGMP, Third-Party, and More:Jared St. Clair, a seasoned health expert with 30 years of experience, discussed his journey from local radio to podcasting and his family's 48-year-old supplement store, Vitality Nutrition. He emphasized the importance of education in supplementation, advocating for high-quality, third-party tested products. Jared highlighted his "vital five" supplements: magnesium, omega-3s, a great multivitamin, probiotics, and D-mannose. He criticized mass-produced supplements for their low quality and stressed the need for consumers to be informed and cautious. Jared also mentioned the challenges of maintaining product integrity in a competitive market, particularly on platforms like Amazon.Quote: Be still and know that I am God. Your Co-Host Today:Jared St. Clair is an herbalist and expert natural supplement formulator with over 30 years of hands-on experience running Vitality Nutrition, a well-known health store in Utah. He’s known for his “Vital5” essential supplements and has crafted highly effective formulas and protocols for health concerns, from digestive issues and hormone imbalances to immune support and emotional wellness. As the hostof the Vitality Radio Podcast, Jared educates listeners on mastering natural supplements to thrive without pharmaceuticals, making him a leading voice in holistic health. Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:The necessity to research and make informed decisions about proper supplements.Vital Five: essential supplements for most adults: magnesium, omega-3s, a great multivitamin, probiotics, and D-mannose.Understanding the DSHEA, Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act and its impct on the supplement industry. Today’s Guest Co-Host Links:vitalitynutrition.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vitalitynutritionbountiful/https://www.facebook.com/MyVitality/Vitality Radio Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vitality-radio-podcast-with-jared-st-clair/id1499760048 Mentioned Influencers:NCBI - High perfomance liquid chromatography in pharmaceutical analyses -https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15629016/FDA - Facts About the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) -https://www.fda.gov/drugs/pharmaceutical-quality-resources/facts-about-current-good-manufacturing-practice-cgmpWatch us on YouTube:https://youtu.be/eMSORbfe-PY Timestamped Show Notes:11:40 – It got to the point before I bought the store, when I was 22 years old, I'd managed it from 15 to 22 and in that timeframe, we finally started to actually turn a profit. But the essentially, most of that money was either going back into the store to try and keep it humming and by the time I was a little bit older, my parents finally gave me a living wage. 21:45 – So part of my Vital Five is magnesium. The deficiency of magnesium is crazy, and I have my preferred version of magnesium, which is bisglycinate. For most people, omega 3's, unless you are doing what you need to do in your diet to get enough omega threes, wild caught Alaskan salmon, grass fed beef. It's actually a great place to get omega 3's. There's few things like that, but they're fairly tough to get enough of, and most people, not you, because of the way you're choosing to eat, are getting a load of omega six fatty acids from all the vegetable oils and seed oils and things like that. So our ratios are way off. So omega three makes a lot of sense for those reasons. And then a great multivitamin. I always preface multivitamin with great, because most multivitamins are not great. 33:08 – Essentially, structure function means you can point to the area of the body that where the structure is that you're trying to treat and the optimized function of that area of the body, but you can't point towards anything that would be considered a disease claim.41:50 – CGMP is a certification that is essentially a partnership between FDA and the industry, which is a weird partnership, because it's kind of an adversarial thing too. CGMP is good manufacturing practices certified. And then there's companies that will actually inspect based on that, like NSF and some of these other companies.50:45 – Many of these larger companies are big enough and they're too big to fail, so to speak, kind of like the old bank crashes. They'll follow the standards. What they do, though, is they cheat on other areas. They cheat on the marketing of it, and they start to deteriorate the quality of the formula without necessarily lying about what's in the product, but taking advantage of an uninformed consumer and putting lower quality versions of those things in the product. So usually the product gets worse, but they're still CGMP because CGMP is just the process of how you make it. Pfizer is making Centrum with CGMP, and they're still passing the test, but they're putting the very lowest quality vitamins and minerals they possibly can put in the product, because they're looking to make mazimum profit. 01:00:30 – Final Words Our Final

Ep 468Cortisol, Stress, and Adrenal Fatigue with Dr. John Neustadt

E

Digging In On Health Impacts of Cortisol Levels, Stress, and Adrenal Fatigue:Your host, Scott Mulvaney and today's guest co-host Dr. John Neustadt discuss the importance of balancing health, business, and lifestyle. Dr. Neustadt, an expert in integrative medicine, emphasizes the impact of chronic stress on health, particularly cortisol's role in bone loss and gut health. He advocates for personal responsibility in health, highlighting the inadequacy of traditional medical approaches. They discuss the benefits of whole foods, protein intake, and the pitfalls of ultra-processed foods. Dr. Neustadt's company, NBI Health, focuses on high-quality supplements, particularly Vitamin K2 (MK-4) for bone health, which has shown to reduce fractures by over 70%. They stress the importance of reading labels and understanding bioavailability. The discussion focused on the differences between MK-4 and MK-7 forms of vitamin K2, highlighting that MK-4 has been clinically proven to stop and reverse bone loss, while MK-7 only slows down bone loss and may even increase it. Scott Mulvaney emphasized the importance of consumer education and informed decision-making. John Neustadt discussed the significance of clinical trials and the need for transparency in supplement marketing. They also touched on the benefits of vitamin C, the importance of genetic testing, and the role of dietary supplements in stress management and overall health. Neustadt shared his commitment to reducing fracture risk and improving bone health through evidence-based products and pro bono consulting.Quote: "Cut through the confusion of alternative medicine’s promises, conventional medicine’s failures, fad diets and dietary supplement hype to help you get empowered, get energized and unlock your full health potential."                              Your Co-Host Today:With us today is Dr. John Neustadt, ND, the Founder and President of Nutritional Biochemistry, Inc. (NBI). Dr. Neustadt earned his naturopathic medical degree from Bastyr University where he was awarded the Founder’s Award for academic and clinical excellence. Dr. Neustadt has published more than 100 medical articles, written four health and wellness books and is now a #1 Amazon Best Selling Author in the field of Osteoporosis. His most recent book is, Fracture-Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to Osteoporosis. Dr. Neustadt was also an editor of the textbook, Laboratory Evaluations for Integrative and Functional Medicine, which was used across the United States to train and educate physicians on using functional medicine with their patients. Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:Understanding the impacts of stress on your health.Exercise and its' benefits on stress management, along with nutrition and supplementation.Role of Functional Medicine vs the Healthcare System challenges. Today’s Guest Co-Host Links:Website: NBI – Delivering Health - NBIFacebook: NBIYouTube: NBIHealthLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-neustadt-nd-1553576/Twitter: Dr. John Neustadt (@JohnNeustadt) on XWatch us on YouTube:https://youtu.be/iNzyUeDek1w Timestamped Show Notes:08:46 – Chronic stress is absolutely devastating to your health. I mean, even the research has been done with cortisol levels and normal "healthy people", and just the high end of normal, meaning that they were not pathological. They didn't have any disease. They were losing bone mass faster than the people whose cortisol levels were lower. Cortisol also changes the gut microbiome. When it's elevated a lot of the researchers with medications like prednisone, which is basically cortisol on steroids itself, and high doses, but even low doses of short term create osteoporosis and increase fracture risk. But they destroy muscle microfibrils, and it decreases your body's ability to produce collagen. The stress also makes the collagen that is present there even more fragile. So it's just this recipe for this systemic breakdown throughout your body of the connective tissue, not to mention the gut health, and, you know, it's drag on your energy and damage to mitochondria.13:15 – If recovering from all this chronic stress, if they've got symptoms of adrenal fatigue and or we've tested it and it's shown it, I like to have them exercise just to the point where they are sweating and then to stop. That way you get the cardiovascular benefits. It gets the heart rate up, it boosts the immune system, but it doesn't over stress the the adrenal glands any further. 17:30 – A really insidious effect of cortisol and that chronic stress research has shown it actually shrinks brain size. It decreases the volume of your brain.37:52 – In Japan, they actually prescribe forest bathing, grounding, i.e. go out into nature. It's prescribed. The other thing is when you're in that stressful situation, back to cortisol in a

We aren’t separate. It’s time to stack the deck in favor of both.”Your Co-Host Today:Jessie Thomas, owner of Sustainable Wellness, a health consulting business dedicated to helping people achieve better foundational health through nutrition and lifestyle. After 15 years as a wildland firefighter in region 1 and 4, I pivoted and went back to my roots in nutrition to start a health coaching business.Outside of fire, I have a background in ultra running, nordic and alpine skiing. I am now raising kids with my smokejumper husband, Jake Besmer. Presently, I work with clients 1 on 1 and with groups of people interested in learning more about how nutrition and lifestyle can improve health outcomes and make their experiences as productive as possible. Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:The connection between Nutrition and Environmental impact.Challenges in the Health and Wellness IndustryEnvironmental Toxins, for example, the negative impacts of glyphosate.Today’s Guest Co-Host Links:https://www.sustainablewellness.netInstagram: @sustainablewellness Watch us on YouTube:https://youtu.be/psCgwJdNxzc Timestamped Show Notes:17:40 – So your eyes picked up on that, you had the senses that picked out that. I think that's the thing, is when people are buying crapola from Costco, and they don't really actually know what low quality food is. When you don't have the experience of knowing what real nutrient dense food looks and it feels like your senses are completely turned off. 22:25 – That is an important point when you're in Fire and you've got those store stops that may be in a Walmart, or they may be in some rural Montana, Idaho, Nevada, California, environment where you're subjected to whatever is available. Eggs are always going to be more nutrient dense than Hot Pockets. Eggs are a Superfood. 25:25 – The government just ensures basic food safety. Those are huge food sourcing contracts that go to the lowest bidder, and they can get around all kinds of logical things about bringing in actual good food by quoting food safety laws. So they're like, oh, we've got to make it shelf stable, otherwise people are going to die of food poisoning. What are those chances?49:44 –  Ben Lynch is the doctor, he's the one that wrote the book Dirty Genes, where I learned about that genetic marker regarding patients with gray hair.50:35 – I didn't know anything when I started, and then I started to feel like, oh, you know, things could be better. Just before I did fire, I worked for a woman who was a physician. She quit her medical practice to open up a business. She opened up a restaurant that was all about using nutrition to support people with chronic health conditions. Impacting areas like Cancer, it was so amazing. So this is like in the la

Ep 466Break Free from Pills with Bharon Hoag

E

One Chiropractic vs Allopathic Medicine, Break Free From Your Pills:Baron Hoag, an executive director with over 25 years in chiropractic healthcare, discussed his journey from a sales role to founding One Chiropractic, a nonprofit advocating for the profession. He highlighted the challenges of traditional trade associations, citing a 310% membership growth in Ohio during his tenure. Baron emphasized the importance of chiropractic in enhancing brain-body communication and reducing inflammation. He also shared his subscription-based chiropractic model, offering four visits a month for $160, and his commitment to life balance, operating his clinic 27 hours a week. The conversation also touched on the limitations of allopathic medicine and the need for a more holistic approach to health. The conversation highlights the evolving perspectives on generational differences, particularly in the technology and health sectors. Speaker 1 notes the newer generations' focus on research and data, while Speaker 2 discusses the archaic health practices in the military, emphasizing the need for chiropractic care to address non-combat-related injuries. They also touch on the political landscape and the potential for health reforms under new leadership. Speaker 2 shares personal experiences, including working with the DoD and suing the Australian government, to advocate for chiropractic care. The discussion concludes with a call to embrace passion over fear and think differently to achieve personal freedom. Quote: Medicine is the study of disease and what causes man to die. Chiropractic is the study of health and what causes man to live. ~ B.J. PalmerYour Co-Host Today:Bharon Hoag is the Executive Director of OneChiropractic, the most disruptive advocacy organization in chiropractic today, dedicated to challenging the profession's status quo. With over 25 years of experience, Hoag brings a unique perspective shaped by owning and managing clinics, counseling over 1,000 healthcare facilities.

His passion lies in empowering chiropractors and shaping a thriving future for the profession and helping people understand chiropractic is a viable solution for pain. Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:Subscription-Based Chiropractic Business ModelChiropractic Success vs Allopathic MedicineIntegrating Chiropractic Care for our Military's Health Today’s Guest Co-Host Links:www.onechiropractic.orgwww.defendchiropractic.org Mentioned Influencers:https://heidihaavik.com/books/BrainTap - Your Brain Fitness App Watch us on YouTube:https://youtu.be/qPqsrS48Ip4 Timestamped Show Notes:14:50 – Most Chiropractors are the best practitioners, but they're the worst business people, so they struggle, and they never really get ahead. They just kind of exist, paycheck to paycheck and it breaks my heart, because they're amazing. Practitioners, if we could free up some of that stress for them, and a lot, which is part of what my nonprofit does now, is our whole thing is to advocate on behalf of chiropractic, defend the rights of the practicing chiropractor, and then advocate to get better saturation, meaning that, you know, still chiropractic is considered a alternative medicine. It's still considered complementary, where my whole goal is, like, man, if you understood it, it should be the gatekeeper. We should start there, the brain and the body. No matter what other remedy you come up with, if the brain and body aren't communicating, you're it's not going to be as effective as it could be. And so getting chiropractic engaged at the very beginning of a lot of these cases is going to help everybody. It doesn't replace everything. It just puts the patient in the best footing to be able to get the most out of whatever other remedy they may get involved in. 31:05 –So this is why MD's don't know this stuff, because they're taught based on the protocols from the pharmaceutical companies, because that's who's doing the research, and those protocols were built around prescribing some type of medication, and that's why, like, if people understood how horrible statin drugs are, just how horrific they are. So cholesterol, blood pressure, all that stuff that everybody has. When you go in the blood work that MD's are going to get, they are going to look at those types of things, we got to see if it's good cholesterol, bad cholesterol, it's such an easy thing to fix with lifestyle an

Ep 465Mold, Mycotoxins, Chronic Illness with Seth Jones

E

Impacting Indoor Air Quality From Mold and Mycotoxins:Scott introduces us to Seth Jones, CEO of Hygia Living Corp, to discuss the growing issue of toxicity in homes and businesses. Seth highlights that 66 million homes and 170 million people in the U.S. are affected by ongoing water damage and mold, leading to mycotoxin production. He shares his personal experience with building-related illness in Los Angeles and introduces Hygia products: a biodegradable cleaner for mycotoxins, a chlorine dioxide gas for decontamination, and an endurance coating to prevent mold growth on surfaces. Seth emphasizes the importance of personal accountability in creating healthier living environments. Your Co-Host Today:Seth Jones is the CEO of Hygia Living Corp., where he and his team developed Superstratum, the first patent-pending process to remove mycotoxins from homes. His work has focused on understanding the hidden causes of Building-Related Illness (BRI) and developing products and solutions to address these issues. Before founding Hygia Living, Seth spent 15 years as an international songwriter, producer, and DJ. However, a personal experience with BRI changed everything, leading to the creation of Superstratum. Now, Seth and Hygia Living are on a mission to heal the estimated 66 million homes in the U.S. that create toxic conditions leading to BRI. With 170 million people currently living in these homes, the Hygia Living mission to heal our homes has never been more important. Seth believes that our health can only rise to the level of our environment and that a pure, toxin-free environment is essential for the healing of the body, mind, and soul. Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:Current statistics: 66 million homes and 170 million people affected by ongoing water damage issues. 47-48% of homes and office buildings in the US have ongoing water damage issues. The role of environmental toxins in chronic illness and the need for lifestyle changes to improve health. Today’s Guest Co-Host Links:Superstratum.coHygia.LifeSickQuiz.comInstagram: @superstratum.coInstagram: @‌sethh_joneslinkedin in/SethHJonesx-twitter @SethH_Jones  Watch us on YouTube:https://youtu.be/lzQtFGZFKr0 Timestamped Show Notes:24:40 – Disinfectants like our products are specifically designed as oxidizers to destroy other chemical contaminants. Our Cleaners are specifically designed for Mycotoxins, and we've done research as well as published a white paper from that hard work. Let's not forget the other contaminants like the VOCs aka Voltaile Organic Compounds, that are present in our environments. That new construction smell, off-gassing from paints, carpets, caulks, sealants and much more are different. 29:25 – The chemist who developed it, he had worked at Sherwin Williams for many, many years in non-toxic craft paints and things. So he had a very unique chemistry knowledge. He moved to the mountains up in Georgia, and started getting algae growing on the side of his house. So he developed a long term mold resistant coating that would stick to vinyl and give him many years of resistance performance,40:00 – Today, a lot of kids are growing up in really toxic environments. It's affecting their cognitive development while impacting their learning disabilities. These mycotoxins have been linked to childhood autism as well. It was a blessing to be able to grow up and have access to outside and clean air. 54:15 – Final Words Our Final Words of the Show:Superstratum is about solving the mold mycotoxin problem, but Hygia Living is really about that legacy mission. How do we live in our environments in the right way, so that it creates the reality of positive results for our health, the reality of our environment? We're all chronically ill, and we're all out of whack with that, and there are so many things that go into that. It's not just, here's your pill, swallow it with water. No, YOU have to take personal accountability and responsibility, and you have to move into action, and you have to be committed, and you have to be devoted. Healing is not complicated, but it's not easy, and that applies to healing the environment as well. So I always like to just encourage people to know when they start hearing these messages, it's like these alarm bells are going off because they know the problem and they don't want to face it. So that's the first thing, is just encourage people to do that. Then, on a more practical basis, what I like to tell people, lot of times people hear this and they get confused and say, well, where do I even start? How do I know? What do I do? We talked about some of the testing, what I'd like to tell people is, it's really simple. When you travel and you go on vacation, or you leave your home for two to three days, does your energy come back? Does your brain fog go away? Does your skin clear up? Do your gut issues get a little bit better? Does your autoimmune disease not flare up as much? Then, when you go home again, did those th

Ep 464GLP-1’s and Metabolic Health Optimization with Dr. Todd Cevene

E

The True Cost of Injectable GLP-1 Medications vs Natural Healthy Options:Your host Scott Mulvaney and Dr. Todd Cevene discuss the benefits of natural weight loss approaches over pharmaceutical solutions. Dr. Cevene, who has helped over 75,000 people and has 74 providers in 38 states, emphasizes the importance of addressing metabolic issues and insulin resistance. He highlights the success of his program, which averages 32+ pounds and 20+ inches of weight loss in 90 days, without exercise. They also touch on the limitations of traditional healthcare, the role of personal accountability, and the potential of compounding pharmacies. Dr. Sabine advocates for a holistic approach to health, focusing on diet and lifestyle changes. Todd Cevene emphasizes that effective health strategies, such as weight loss and blood sugar management, must be consistently applied and monitored for results. He stresses the importance of setting a good example for children, as they learn more from observing actions than from words. Scott agrees, noting the influence of parents' behaviors on their children's habits. They both advocate for passing on positive health knowledge to future generations. Your Co-Host Today:Our guest today is revolutionizing the weight loss industry with a natural approach that's helped over 75,000 people transform their lives. Dr. Todd Cevene pioneered a breakthrough metabolic optimization system that helps people lose weight without exercise, strict diets, or medications. His system is now used by over 140 healthcare providers nationwide and has led to more than 2 million pounds lost naturally and sustainably.Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:Natural healthy approaches vs "Pharmaceutical Band-Aids". Understanding Peptides vs GLP-1 Medications. The role of Personal Accountability in our Health.  Today’s Guest Co-Host Links:https://drtoddcevene.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/todd-cevene-b2637a45https://x.com/dr_toddcevenehttps://www.facebook.com/DrToddCevene/https://www.instagram.com/drtoddcevene/https://www.youtube.com/@Dr.ToddCevenehttps://www.tiktok.com/@dr.toddcevenehttps://a.co/d/dd77xWc Watch us on YouTube:https://youtu.be/iCtT0iraIe8 Timestamped Show Notes:05:00 – When you see commercials for semi glutides or GLP-1's, they're compounded, the feds have made those against the law out there and now illegal to compound, beginning next month, so you use a name brand prescription. The reason for that is because, when you're doing the peptides, they aren't regulated, so you don't know. It could be a guy in a bathtub in China with his cat, and they're making them, and you're pumping that into your body hoping it's going to make a difference. 28:40 – So without sounding too sarcastic with it, so in that same vein, if you say people want to be healthy, people that we talked about asking like the GLP compound of drugs, or the GLP weight loss drugs, people healthy will also start eating healthy. If you're taking those medications and you're just eating one piece of pizza instead of three, that's not help.31:20 – The metabolic ones, insulin, blood sugars, leptin, ghrelinn, adeno, pectin, etc. So when you start to control those metabolically, you start to burn more unhealthy fat than sugar, which is what people try to control on the Keto Diet, right? The Keto Diet is not bad as long as you can sustain it. But the average person can't sustain it, unlike you'd mentioned, you're able to do that. The average person can't necessarily sustain that. So the way you keep weight off forever is you find a way for that particular patient so they can have the freedom to eat what they want, "within reason", and still lose weight. So psychologically, if you feel like you're not dieting and you're losing inches of fat and weight, we're on the home stretch. 52:55 – I was looking at again for a panel of like, 20 med spas that are starting this, and they're getting rid of GLP1's, they're going for a program. The average patient loses 32.8 pounds. This is within a 90 day mark, and they lose up to 20.2 inches within 60 days. The average person loses two clothing sizes, or 10% of your body weight in 60 days is a very safe bet, like bet your house with a kid in it and take it to the bank.58:45 – Final Words Our Final Words of the Show:The impact of children seeing mothers inject weight loss drugs to lose weight versus making healthy choices comes to them. Our own girls have told us over and over and over again, I can't believe how bad everybody else eats, or I went to my friend's house and the whole family is literally sitting around consuming bags of chips, and I couldn't believe it. There wasn't fruit, there wasn't anything like natural veggies with the meal. They're just astonished that not everybody does that, who needs that. So it's, again, it was kind of an aha moment to me that you're impacting families, and that how far that goes with kids and everything else as well. For all the women out there that have children or men tha

Ep 463Wearables Health Tech and The Pulse Cure with Torkil Færø

E

Wearable Technology For Your Health:Scott Mulvaney welcomes todays guest co-host, Dr. Torkil Færø, a freelance doctor from Norway with 26 years of experience. They discuss the importance of health, lifestyle balance, and technology in disease prevention and management. Dr. Færø emphasizes the role of wearables in monitoring health metrics like heart rate, stress levels, and sleep patterns. He shares his personal journey of losing 40 pounds and improving his health after his father's death. They also touch on the limitations of traditional medical education and the potential of technology to empower individuals to take control of their health. Torkil's book, "The Pulse Cure," has been a success in Norway, focusing on heart rate variability and stress management. Scott and Dr. Færø discuss the benefits of heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring, particularly through wearable technology. Mulvaney shares his interest in using HRV to help his wife, a former on-call doctor, improve her sleep and circadian rhythm. Dr. Faarvaer highlights the application of HRV in veterinary medicine and with handicapped children. They emphasize the importance of personalized health management, noting that HRV data can reveal stress levels and improve self-awareness. Dr. Færø also mentions the feedback from thousands of users on Instagram, supporting the book's findings. They agree on the value of wearable technology in empowering individuals to take control of their health.Quote: “The doctor of the future will be oneself.” — Albert SchweitzerYour Co-Host Today: Dr Torkil Færø is a GP and emergency physician, documentary filmmaker, author and photographer. Over a 26-year career as a freelance doctor, he has worked all over Norway, had hundred thousand consultations and thus gained a unique picture of the diseases that plague us. He learned that the cause is most often found in the stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies. When his father died at 73, he realized that he had to change his own lifestyle. Being 40 pounds overweight, under-trained, over-stressed, under-slept and drinking alcohol daily, he learned that this lifestyle could deprive him of decades. Using wearables he found a way to track and regulate his nervous system and physiology. Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:Heart rate tracking, stress, and wearable technologies. Individualized health in regards to personal accountability. The role of HRV tracking and the future of health and technology integrations.  Today’s Guest Co-Host Links:https://www.instagram.com/dr.torkil/https://thepulsecure.com/https://www.amazon.com/Pulse-Cure-Balance-stress-optimise/dp/B0CN1TWVPF/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0 Mentioned Influencers:https://www.whoop.com/us/en/ https://ouraring.com/https://jackkruse.com/Watch us on YouTube:https://youtu.be/kS4X3YNYAFo Timestamped Show Notes:18:45 – Now we can use the technology on ourselves. That is just a major shift in the power in the healthcare system, where you take the power from the hospitals and the doctors and the different practitioners and you put it into your own hand. You have control with the wearables, with smart watches, with smart rings like Oura. Keeping track of the heart rate, your pattern of movement, the temperatures and your oxygen levels that these can track, and you get the control of your health. 30:45 – According to Whoop, like the Whoop band on my on my right arm here, they are gathering health information from their users. By far, the worse stresser is alcohol, and that is what I used to drink. I was thinking it was calming me down, helping me to sleep, but the sleep is just terrible under the influence of alcohol. 01:02:00 – I have some of the grounding aka earthing topic in my book that is out now in Norway, called The Rest Cure. Discussing stress, it's about exercise, it's about sleep, it's about active rest, how you can calm yourself down. That seems to be the hardest thing for people. So that is why my publisher wanted a book only on the rest part of The Pulse Cure. That actually became a larger book than The Post Cure on 250 pages exploring how you can rest and what you do with the wearables so you can measure your rest. You may be thinking that you're resting, but the wearable health tech will show that you have either been eating something you cannot tolerate, or you have been stressing so much that your body can't get into the parasympathetic state, even if you think you're relaxing. So that is why it's important to also have this measurable rest that you can see on your watches or rings that your heart rate is in the parasympathetic mode. 01:25:00 – Final Words Our Final Words of the Show:The message would have to be that you are in more control of your health than maybe you think, and that it is easier to do it with feedback from wearables. I would end with the first words in my book, The Pulse Cure, it's from Albert Schweitzer, the doctor who says, the doctor of the future will be yoursel

Ep 462The Healthy Glutathione Revolution with Dr. Nayan Patel

E

Digging into ATP, Glutathione, and more:Scott Mulvaney and Dr. Nyan Patel discuss the benefits of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant crucial for detoxification and overall health. Dr. Patel, a pharmacist with 30 years of experience, explains the challenges of delivering glutathione orally and the success of his patented transdermal glutathione technology. He highlights the importance of maintaining high glutathione levels to combat oxidative stress and prevent diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Dr. Patel shares his personal journey and success stories, including his father's significant health improvements after using his product. They emphasize the need for personal health accountability and the potential of glutathione to enhance brain function and athletic performance. Nayan Patel shared the story of his father, who at 84 underwent double knee replacements and quickly recovered, walking out of the hospital two days post-surgery. Despite being advised to rest, his father traveled extensively, including to India and Africa. Despite a fall resulting in a skull fracture and internal bleeding, his father remained positive and resilient. Nayan emphasized the importance of mindset and glutathione supplementation, which he believes played a crucial role in his father's recovery. He also discussed the broader impact of his work, aiming to help millions through his company, Auro Wellness, and his book, "The Glutathione Revolution."Quote: Fight Disease, Slow Aging, and Increase Energy with the Master Antioxidant! ~ Dr. Nayan Patel Your Co-Host Today:DR. NAYAN PATEL is a sought after pharmacist, wellness expert, and thought leader in his industry. He has been working with physicians since 1999 to custom develop medication for their clients and design a patient specific drug and nutrition regimen. He has been the pharmacist of choice to celebrities, CEOs and physicians themselves. He recently published his first comprehensive book, The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging & Increase Energy. After 11 years of clinical research on the master antioxidant, glutathione, Dr. Patel and his team developed a patented technology to deliver Glutathione topically, changing the game on how best to absorb GSH systemically. From this technology he additionally developed The Auro GSH Antioxidant Delivery System to create a skincare line to deliver antioxidants more efficiently and effectively than ever before at potent concentrations. Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:The topical delivery method of glutathione is far superior to oral, consumable, IV forms of delivery. Positive healthy impacts of glutathione use again oxidative stress, brain fog, neuroplasticity, cellular repair, and more. The benefits of serving yourself as an N-1 experiement, investing in functional medicine, regular blood work anlysis, and more.  Today’s Guest Co-Host Links:https://aurowellness.com/https://www.instagram.com/Aurowellness/https://www.facebook.com/aurowellnesshttps://www.tiktok.com/@auro.wellnesshttps://www.youtube.com/@aurowellness Watch us on YouTube:https://youtu.be/8HGC1u0NkJ0?si=UOfvxbrPP27hnxR8Timestamped Show Notes:06:30 – It's just crazy how much money they're making. But one thing that did not work was liposomal glutathione, and it doesn't work on me. I said, wait a second, I was getting results, but not getting results for everything, not for all my patients.10:35 – I started looking at the research, and I figured out that in 1991 there was a study done. It's published in the in the NIH, now on the PubMed, so it's all over the place, that they give two grams of IV push, of glutathione, 100% of glutathione was in the urine in five to fifteen minutes. 19:15 – The body is absorbing it, breaking it down, taking all the building blocks and producing its own glutathione. Now, if you have a gene mutation, gstp, gstm or GGT, if you have enzyme defects, you cannot conjugate glutathione. I don't care what product you take. 37:18 – So that's the reason why glutathione is so important to everybody to keep this door shut at all times on the bad. But now, if you shut the door down and there is a damage inside your body, you still have to fix the damages. You still have to eat the right nutrients and do the right things, or people do stem cells therapy, or people do all kinds of things to basically get all the dirt ready. Yeah, once the dirt is ready and dumped into the liver, guess what, glutathione can go back and take the dirt and get rid of it too.52:00 – So for healthy subjects, we find out what the dose was going to be. It started after we released the product in 2020, then we found out that many of the people, they are sick, they need higher glutathione. So a year later is when we released the stronger version. So the stronger version is good for people that have high needs of glutathione, and it's just a temporary need. Anyways, they use it for three months, six months, up to a year, year and a half, and then th

Quote: The Meaning of Good and Bad, of Better and Worse, is simply Helping and Hurting. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:Learning to and executing on fostering higher-level conversations among men. The power of male camaraderie, which is necessary in life, both personally and professionally. Family, Work-Life Balance, and Personal Successes outweighing professional.  Today’s Guest Co-Host + Links:Andrew Young - https://youevolvingnow.com/Brian Strauser - https://strauserhomeimprovements.com/Rob Eschbach - https://f13performance.com/Dave Intini - http://intiniconstruction.com/Nick Goblirsch - https://www.instagram.com/iheartpaintingnj/ Watch us on YouTube:https://youtu.be/5vdH1an91soTimestamped Show Notes:34:00 – Well, the gamble becomes, given your tolerance for risk, given your personality, like you said, the gamble became pretty clear. For one, my former career was mental health. So I was 20 years as a mental health therapist, master's degree, and making $45,000 a year. That's poverty, that's a crime. Even if you make $250-500,000 a year, it doesn't matter like when you're in corporate and you have a title that goes along with it, at some point, you're signing your soul away for you to make that money, you're gonna have to work more. You have to do all those things. But as an entrepreneur, you can make infinite money without always having to work harder. 40:10 – Let me full serve that real quick. One thing I love about this is like you've given me a lot of props over the years since I met you over running chainsaws, volunteering, building mountain biking trails, and hearing those horror stories and just me telling you, like, bro, start easy. Just start listening to podcasts. Get into the audiobooks, start geeking out. That was just some of the earlier shit we discussed. But technically, what I loved full circle tonight was what you just said a few minutes ago, before the word vomit, is the fact that actually Dave's one of your earlier mentors, before you met me. 64:50 – I'm the same person, but because I have more financial freedom, I can fix most problems and help build most dreams, most of which are for other people that I care about. Therefore, that's when I say money matters.73:00 – I worked for one person my whole life, my dad. I moved on, I went on, I kept going. I saw my own thing, but that's the family, but again, the lightest, most laid back guy here. He taught me everything. 82:00 – Final Words Our Final Words of the Show:Congratulations to Arnoldo Moreno of Phoenix Crew 63, our newest Wildland Firefighter to receive a new pair of wildland firefighting boots.

Ep 460Oxidative Stress, Healthy Longevity, and ESS60

E

Today we discuss the carbon molecule ESS60 and it's applications for Oxidated Stress, Longevity of life, and more:Scott Mulvaney and Chris Burris discuss the health benefits of ESS60, a Nobel Prize-winning molecule discovered in 1985. ESS60, a spherical molecule of 60 carbon atoms, was found to extend the life of Wistar rats by 90% when dissolved in olive oil. Chris explains that ESS60 buffers oxidative stress by holding reactive oxygen species until the body can manage them, enhancing mitochondrial function. Chris shares testimonials from athletes like Anthony Kunkle, who use ESS60 to prevent damage and improve performance. The product is recommended for those under high stress or engaging in intense physical activities. Chris Burres discussed MyVitalC's products, emphasizing the benefits of olive oil and ESS60 for health. He highlighted the challenges of FDA regulations and the importance of transparency in the supplement industry. MyVitalC's products, including olive oil, avocado oil, and MCT oil, are tested frequently for quality. He stressed the importance of addressing aging as a disease to achieve longevity escape velocity, supported by the rapid increase in medical information.Quote: "We can change the expression of more than 70 percent of the genes that have a direct bearing on our health and longevity." ~ David PerlmutterYour Co-Host Today:CHRIS BURRES is the founder and chief scientist at MyVitalC, where he manufactured a Nobel Prize-winning molecule responsible for the single longest longevity experimental result in history–a full 90% extension of life. He is also a published author, host of the Uncovering the Secrets to Longevity Health Summit, a podcast host, patent holder and master of comedy improv. He is the intersection where science meets laughter and his life’s mission is to help people live longer, healthier, happier, pain-free lives with science. Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:Biohacking and the impacts of properly designed healthy supplement.

The reality is, we're getting 90% amorphous carbon junk and 10% of fullerenes. This ESS60 molecule is one of the most abundant fullerenes. So it's a very inefficient process, then you got to isolate it, and then you turn it into ESS60, which is the process for people and pets. That's when the kind of supplement side of things starts. You actually mix it in vats, in olive oil, to get it to dissolve, because the molecules are not water soluble. You need a fat based element like EVOO. 21:30 – It is six carbon molecules, with a ring shape. So six carbon molecules, when it's alone, it's a carcinogen and toxic to us. So it's known to be toxic, known to be a carcinogen. So they thought this molecule would be toxic, and they put it in that toxicity study. In that study, they used Wistar Rats as the subjects. In this case, they gave one group water, one group olive oil, and then one group olive oil with as much of the ESS60 molecule as they could get to dissolve in it. Instead of being toxic, the test subjects that they gave the ESS60 formula lived 90% longer than the control group. So a full 90% extension of life in Wistar rats, peer reviewed, published research. You can imagine, that's the thing that changed us from being happy go lucky, carbon nanomaterial scientists. 47:15 – In that original study, they did a very interesting thing. My actually Director of Research said, at one point. This could have been five separate papers, because there's so much stuff in it. One of the things was they injected a group of rats, so not the main rats that live 90% longer, but some group of rats, they injected them with carbon tetrachloride. This is a poison that causes Oxidative Stress to the liver. And so each of the rat groups, the ones given water, the ones given olive oil, their livers did not repair recover from this injection. It was the ESS60 in olive oil that those rats livers were on the mend. They did euthanize all the rats and check out their livers. It was only the ESS60 rats whose livers had repaired themselves.  Your Positive Action Forward:Don’t forget to Submit a 5-Star ReviewGet my book "So You Want To Be A Hotsho

That's what we are. We're a men's group of inspiration, adventure, brotherhood, so let's dig in on our interesting group of guys. 24:35 – In the METAL MEN group, guys come to us often looking for help with something they're looking for help with. You know, career advice, or you've hit a plateau in what you're doing, or you want to find out what next. You are just looking for something, right? But guys that stick around stay for the Brotherhood. That is what you're talking about, the human connection. Being in a space where meeting guys who are very similar to the way you look at things, but from many different backgrounds. 44:00 – I don't ride motorcycles anymore, the one in 600 but this is actually a specific thing. This is about commuting to work as you get in a sort of ongoing route that you get used to, and you start relaxing, which you should never do, do not become complacent, right? If there was an accident and you survive, the odds are you are going to ride a different way afterwards. How are you going to manage that risk? Sometimes you just have to accept there is a risk, and it's part of life, right? The fifth thing that we have out of the eight is our BROTHERHOOD. Successful MEN need other successful men. We come from a community and metal of heart centeredness. METAL is completely independent. We are not affiliated with any publishing, religious, political, etc. We are an independent community. 1:05:40 – The answer to that is actually brotherhood and community. It's about connecting with guys who've been very successful or are on the way to being very successful, who can then lean in and just be with you because they're in the same place. Choosing conscious Brotherhood is different than just meeting guys when you're out in the world. If you've got kids, you meet the friends, you meet your kids, friends, and fathers. What do you have in common? Likely not very much, but you've got your kids in common, and so you'll end up in this kind of hinterland of having these men, male relationships around you. You don't really have anything in common, and you couldn't really say, well, you know, I'm in a really dark depression because my dream came true six weeks ago. 01:20:59 – Final Words Our Final Words of the Show:I think I can sum up what you're talking about in terms of sort of a personal development frame, which is you, you seem to be a perfect exampl

Ep 458Headache Advantage with Dr. Scott Vrzal

E

Healing Headaches By Understanding The Origins of Your Pain:The hosts today discuss the common issue of headaches and the role of chiropractic care. Dr. Vrzal, a chiropractor with over 30 years of experience, shares his personal journey with headaches and his advocacy for drug-free, holistic solutions. He explains the seven specific headache patterns linked to various organs and the importance of listening to the body. Dr. V emphasizes the role of nutrition, supplementation, and stress management in maintaining health. He also highlights the limitations of traditional medicine and the benefits of functional medicine and biohacking. The conversation underscores the need for personal accountability in health and the value of integrative approaches. Dr. V discusses the connection between physical symptoms like upper trap tension and sacroiliac pain with underlying health issues such as blood sugar problems and yeast infections. They emphasize the importance of listening to one's body and being an advocate for one's health to improve quality of life. Dr. V suggests that if one were to see the future consequences of poor health choices, like eating sugar and grains, it would be a powerful motivator to change behavior. They also mention that certain foods, like corn, can trigger health problems like cortisol dumping and ovarian cysts. Scott agrees, noting the impact of inflammatory responses on joint pain and the importance of sharing health knowledge through their podcast. They both stress the significance of being proactive in health management and the enduring value of educational content. Quote: "Headaches are the unseen foes in our daily lives, striking unexpectedly yet universally." Dr. Scott Vrzal, driven by constant debilitating headaches in his youth, was cured by a Chiropractor. He pursued a career in the same discipline inspired by the change. Initially misdiagnosed and advised to consult a psychiatrist due to the pain, he embarked on a mission to understand headaches' root causes. With over 30 years of expertise, Dr. Vrzal refines pain patterns, advocates drug-free and holistic solutions, and shares his methods to a healthier lifestyle. His thriving practice reflects a personal commitment to health, performance, and relieving patients' pain. Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:Pay attention to how your body responds to each meal, identify trigger foods.Experiment with eliminating inflammatory foods like factory chicken, tomatoes, peppers (night shades), and grains.Stablize blood sugar through your focus on diet and exercise to improve focus, sleep, and overall health. Today’s Guest Co-Host Links:www.HeadacheAdvantage.comhttps://www.drvrzal.com/https://www.facebook.com/Dr.Scott.j.Vrzal/https://www.instagram.com/dr.vrzal/https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-scott-vrzal-48b44018/https://www.youtube.com/@DrVrzal Mentioned Influencers:Dr. Anthony G.

I was a natural bodybuilder at the time and I'd get pounding headaches every time I did bench press.10:30 – If the pec or clavicular muscle is not firing properly, we look at stomach function. If they have a low back pain in the flank area, we look at large intestine function. So when we we identify what the primary weakness is, and that's the beauty of of headaches for me, I'll circle back to that. But again, every muscle has associated organs. When we find these organ dysfunctions, these weaknesses, then we look at, is it a structural need or structural compromise that's compromised in the muscle?15:10 – It could be that you're drinking your water out of a plastic bottle and you're getting the estrogenic effects from from the plastics. It's because at one of those pathways in the liver, we were just referring to, like your glutathione pathway. Maybe that's not breaking the hormones down properly and it's setting you up for this type of headache. So I would suspect when you're currently on your your glutathione products, that you're proably going to be a lot less likely to have those types of headaches. 26:15 – We want to keep the keep the toxic metals out, which means pesticides and that sort of stuff. So eating the organic vegetables, getting those, you know, grains are all adulterated. They have that Roundup influence, the glyphosate in there that compromises gallbladder function, which is why the right sided headache is the most common type of headache in America. 37:15 – When we're stuck in that state, then we get the frontal headaches. We have compromised the stomach lining. You know, cortisol is a catabolic

I was so impressed that I told myself, the Vegan Diet is absolutely the best diet. I'm gonna stick to this for as long as I need to... 15:10 – I had my autoimmune psoriasis condition ever since I was a child. So as long as I can remember, and for me to keep it at bay, I had to use topical prescriptions.

I never have flare ups anymore. 23:00 – People who aren't open minded, when they look at your content, and they automatically assume things because they're already closed minded to begin with.

Nature and Balance with Values and Priorities.Movement, Breathwork, Self-Care, and Personal Growth. Influencer(s) Mentioned: Dr. John DemartiniHuman Behavior Specialist and founder of the Demartini Methodhttps://drdemartini.com/Today’s Guest Co-Host Links: Website: www.vitalistproject.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/vitalistlifeInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/lifestyles_of_light/Watch us on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JMi70ShWMYQ Timestamped Show Notes: 13:40 – I would say you could call it desensitized, or you could call it discernment and adaptation. I'm in the business of helping people become better adapted to modern stress, which basically means they're able to maintain your center right in as conditions all around you increase in chaos. You actually drop in more deeply because you have the ability to discern. Like, is this life and death for me, or is this an opportunity for me to, in your case, share the skills that you have inherently. I'm in the same way, like I've been out rock climbing and watched somebody fall and dislocate a leg, and I walk over and I'm like, okay, get them stable. Then we put their leg back into position. They're like, how did you do that?  24:10 – That is actually stress release and recovery. So the emotion, like a person like you, I'm actually very similar in the way. I can show up in an emergency or in someone's life that is going through chronic issues, like disease. I can show up with dozens of them around and so I'm just serving, serving, serving, serving, serving. I can stay really centered and grounded, because it's what lights me up. This is what my nervous system, what I've groomed it to do. 53:50 – We teach people how to do this and teach movement. It's called EDU Immersion, a practical spinal maintenance. Have a happy spine, calm, and I give out a free workshop on it. So you'll learn about stress, the neurophysiology of stress, and then how to work with your system with movement. So I mentioned, whenever you stress out, you always lateralize into one hemisphere. Well, what's beautiful about the body is that left hemisphere controls right side of the body and vice versa. So if I have a movement system that crosses my midline regularly, and what happens is it forces cross modal communication in the two hemispheres. So now those hemispheres are starting to compare data and go, wait, why are we in a stress state right now? You know based on what we're seeing right now, there's no bear out there. So you get to create congruence between the two hemispheres, the brain waves slow down into alpha and theta in the body to get that parasympathetic sympathetic balance. So that's really why we have an online course for that as well, called Moving Back Into Bala

John Ryan, is a Senior Equine Specialist impacting large animal veterinarian needs with 19+ years of experience. Ryan Murphy brings us a background in finance and veterinary sales as well. They discuss their podcast's focus on the equine veterinary industry. They aim to address challenges such as mental health, work-life balance, and the attrition rate among our valued veterinarian doctors. Scott shares his experience in podcasting, emphasizing the importance of high-quality content and audience engagement. They also discuss potential monetization strategies and the value of building a loyal email list. The discussion centers on monetizing a podcast ethically, with suggestions including implementing a paywall, using affiliate links, and maintaining a supportive community. Scott shared experiences of accidentally gaining clients organically through this show and emphasized the importance of clear disclosure for affiliate links. They all highlighted the need for community building and shared insights on using AI for editing. They also hit on the importance of aligning monetization strategies with a podcast show's mission.Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:Understanding the big challenges and tenure impacts, attrition rates, in the veterinary industry.Setting boundaries, prioritizing personal time, feeling less alone, for the big picture of "work/personal life balance".Setting goals and future plans in podcasting for Valeo Mentis and beyond. Who & What is Valeo Mentis?Valeo Mentis is a podcast dedicated to connecting people within the veterinary community through meaningful stories, insights, and resources. The title itself, Valeo Mentis, is derived from Latin, where "Valeo" means "to be strong" or "to thrive," and "Mentis" refers to the "mind" or "spirit." Put together, it translates roughly to "thriving minds" or "strengthening the mind."The podcast’s goal is to nurture the mental and emotional well-being of veterinarians, veterinary professionals, and anyone involved in the animal care world.

No it's the closet, it's about finding that smaller room, less chance of an echo, less noise reverberation off of the walls. If you have clothing hang in there, you push it to the sides, again, extra sound matting, and especially if you don't have an upgraded microphone yet. 28:15 –We talk to equine veterinarians all day long and we wear a lot of different hats in the roles that we have, and half the time, I feel like we're almost a little bit like therapists. People just want to talk, and they want to talk through their issues. So we spend a lot of time just listening to people kind of talk about what's going on and what the challenges are. There's a really unfortunate phenomenon in our large animal industry, people come into it straight out of school, and they wind up leaving in a few years and going to a small animal or doing something completely different. So there's this attrition rate on an already anemic level, the supply of veterinarians is hurting. There has always been mental health issues going on as well. Citizens do not realize how challenging the lon

The conversation revolves around the importance of setting and achieving goals, emphasizing the significance of writing them down for better retention and motivation.Quote: "The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection." ~ Thomas Paine Your host, Scott Mulvaney brings together likeminded “Men of Mindset” for an evening of grilling steaks, male bonding, and this special podcast recording night out in his pole barn aka the man-zone aka the Fuel Up Barn. Today’s Top 3 Takeaways: Write down goals and reasons for each, advocating for a physical pen-and-paper approach over digital methods.Journaling and the benefits of helping others, which in turn benefits oneself.The value of spending time with family, particularly children, and the long-term impact of such actions.Your Co-Hosts:BRIAN STRAUSER: Husband, Proud Father, and Entrepreneur. Owner of Strauser Home Improvements here in Bethlehem, PA USA. At SHI, we not only strive to grow personally, as well as professionally, we also devote a lot of time in helping others do the same.Rob Eschbach: Husband, Super Dad, High Performance Trainer, Enlifted L2 Coach, and Entrepreneur.

If you wrote it down, you're already 90% above everybody else. Take that last 10% and read it out loud. Then if you find yourself falling off or not sure why, just pull it back out. Don't forget about it. The more you write, the more you can focus. People don't write things out anymore. I'm not talking about typing it. Don't type it and no, don't put in your phone. Get a pen and a paper and write it down like you learned in elementary school. 01:06:20 – Final Words from Brian: I just bought a really good new journal. I'm a big journal guy and value writing things down. I was talking to my wife the other day because I got some lofty goals again for '25, trying to get my life in check, as I always am doing. I need to come up with a journal that really encompasses. I don't want a weight loss journal. I don't want a diet journal. I don't want a weightlifting journal. I don't want a Business Journal. I want a journal that's a lifestyle journal that really has bits and pieces. I'm not trying to lose weight. I'm not trying to build the mega business. I'm trying to do all of it. I want to create the total package and and I started doing some Googling and dicking around on Amazon and stuff, and found, I don't remember the name of the damn company, but I found a very good journal that kind of does that for me. So I've already been sitting there writing down doing exactly what you're talking about those things. Yeah, I got it. It's all down. 01:10:20 – Final Words from Chris: All words are wise. Something that really resonated with me tonight was Brian mentioned it earlier. You know, driving your kids to school, spending that 15 minutes with them, that's something that, I'll be honest, it fucking annoys the shit out of me. Driving the kids to school sometimes, because it's, I have enough going on and driving the kids to school, there's five of them. It's two different trips back and forth. But, you know, I kind of take that for granted, and those are times where you're right, I'm never gonna fucking get them back.  Your Positive Action Forward: Don’t forget to Submit a 5-Star ReviewGet my book "So You Want To Be Hotshot" - HotshotBook.com Visit FuelFoundation.org our 501c-3 non-profit!

Ep 452Take 2 Minutes for Happiness in 2025

E

Take 2 Minutes For Yourself This Year, Gratitude, Journaling, Meditation, and More: Scott Mulvaney introduces Marc, a guest co-host with over 25 years of IT experience, who has created "Take Two Minutes," an app designed to improve happiness and well-being. Marc emphasizes the use of SMS for high read rates (92% within three minutes) and discusses various features like gratitude journaling, positive messages, and meditations. He highlights the importance of self-improvement and balancing personal and professional growth. Mark shares insights from research showing significant increases in positivity after using the app's exercises. The conversation also touches on the challenges of managing anxiety and the benefits of setting aside time for personal well-being.Top 3 Takeaways: Dream JournalingThree Good Things aka Take The Good Out of The DayGrowth Through Challenges and Risks. Your Co-Host Today: MARC S. FUSSELL is the visionary founder behind the non-profit Take 2 Minutes, a revolutionary platform designed to enhance mental wellness through positive psychology and technology. With over 25 years of experience in IT, Marc’s entrepreneurial spirit and passion for improving mental health have led to creating a suite of tools that leverage daily positive messages, gratitude journaling, meditations, breathing exercises, a grounding exercise, a gratitude challenge, sleep audio, dream journaling, and more to foster happiness and well- being. As a dedicated father, his journey into positive psychology was inspired by a personal commitment to support his son’s mental health, evolving into a mission to spread positivity to a broader audience.Today’s Guest Co-Host Links: https://www.take2minutes.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcfussell/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/take2min/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/take2min/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@take2min  Watch us on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ADsba_QYCqM Timestamped Show Notes: 11:00 – It's not about trying to create false positivity or be in a positive state all the time. Life is going to throw things at you. You're going to have ups and down flows. You're not always going to be in a good mood. I am not always in a good mood. I have stresses. We all, we all have stresses, right?36:00 – If you don't want positive messages, just text back pause positive messages, and it's going to turn those off for you. Then you can focus on your gratitude journaling, your three good things, your dream journaling, or other meditations. You know, we have all kinds of activities now. You can turn on daily meditations, gratitude reminders, and/or three good things. You may be getting four texts a day at least, maybe even five sometimes, so you should adapt it to you. 46:30 – Before they started at all, they took a modified differential emotion scale questionnaire, MDS questionnaire, and that questionnaire is 20 questions. It's available for anyone to use on take two minutes, but ideally, it ranks your positivity against your negativity. So it gives you a score of how positive or how negative you are. 01:00:45 – Final Words Our Final Words of the Show: That quality time by yourself is doing something. It can be yoga. It can be meditating. Obviously, Take 2 Minutes is a lot of meditations. But definitely spend some quality time on self improvement every day. Yes, it's tough. I know, I have Take 2 Minutes. I'm the CIO of a company. I have another company I just started. So I have a lot going on. There are days where I feel like I wake up at 5am and I really want to start working right off the bat, but I know that's not the healthy thing to do. The healthy to do is to spend a good 30 minutes on myself, whether it be journaling, yoga, meditating, exercising, or something positive. I gotta spend some me time, otherwise the whole day is not going to be as productive as it could be. So I think that's what I would like to share with everyone, is find a way to spend time improving yourself. That is a very generic term, because improving yourself is different for each person and the time of day you do it can be different for each person too. Maybe it works better for you after work, maybe it works better for you before bed, but definitely take time out for yourself every day to improve who you are and get yourself into a better mindset. Your Positive Action Forward: ·        Don’t forget to Submit a 5-Star Review·        Get my book "So You Want To Be A Hotshot" - HotshotBook.com ·        Visit FuelFoundations.org our 501c-3 non-profit! ·        Visit FuelUpMarketing.com for Sales & Marketing, Strategy & Execution.
