Let's Get Existential!! Blind Optimism vs Cynical Pessimism, the Future of Tech, Robots, and AI, Life Updates, and All That Jazz | with Chris Beal and Emily Duncan

You've probably heard of essential fatty acids like EPA and DHA, or omega-3s, and how important they are. But did you know there's a 3rd essential fatty acid that's also a saturated fatty acid? You know, the ones you've been taught to avoid by the mainstream media for... more than a couple years. Turns out, there's an essential saturated fatty acid that dolphins helped discover (yes, dolphins), and not consuming enough of this essential fatty acid unearthed the first recognized "new"  deficiency syndrome in over 75 years. Today we're talking with veterinary epidimiologist Dr. Stephaine Venn-Watson about the revolutionary discovery of C15:0, an essential fatty acid, that's turned the health + wellness industry on its head. We discuss everything from C15:0 deficiency, or Cellular Fragility Syndrome, the importance of healthy levels of C15:0, and all the amazing "above baseline" benefits that happen for performance, recovery, longevity, and more, when we're optimizing C15:0 levels.

I firmly believe that even the most devoted and resolute of us go through times + experiences where we stray from our authenticity AND our personal standards. Whether it's through a gentle realization, or in my case, some full-life come-to-Jesus moments, we're usually reminded by our core selves when we've strayed, whether it's takes months or years for that to happen. In today's show, I'm setting the groundwork for how you can start the work of re-establishing what your personal standards for excellence are so you can get everything you want out of life... because you don't get your goals, you get your standards.

Hello my dear high performance human... question for you: what do you do when you've found yourself in a spot where you're disappointed in your own self? Where you've let yourself down, not lived up to your own standards of being, and otherwise not shown up as the person you want to be? There's a good chance you find yourself neck deep in a shame/guilt spiral that has you silencing yourself and, over time, playing even smaller and showing up even less. I know this because I am you, I've been there/done that/got the t-shirt, and have a couple of thoughts on how we can show up in our disappointment with ourselves and taking both radical accountability and compassionate steps forward and get back on track to being exactly who we know we can be.

Chris and I sat down to have a conversation about blind optimism vs cynical pessimism, and in typical fashion, it turned into an episode about the future of AI and robots. Sick.

It's no secret the the word "keto" has gotten... shall we say "mixed" reviews in the fitness space, particularly in the science-based physique transformation space. But what if we're missing some of the picture? What if ketones, a substrate our bodies naturally produce, could be used exogenously to enhance our athletic performance, improve cognitive performance, prevent disease, and just... live a better life? Dr. Latt Mansor of Ketone-IQ is on the show today to talk about just that - how we can harness the power of ketones for better health, performance, and longevity. Dr. Latt Mansor holds a PhD in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics from the University of Oxford. He also holds an MA (Columbia University) and BS (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. Latt brings over a decade of experience spanning academic research, health technology, and pharmaceuticals. As H.V.M.N.’s Research Lead, he oversees the scientific development and clinical applications for all H.V.M.N. products.

Have you ever noticed these not-so-lovely cycles and patterns keep repeating themselves? And how these things you "don't want" somehow keep showing up in your life? Have you ever thought that you may have developed some attachments to your pain? These repeat experiences are potentially rooted in the comfort of familiarity along with our fear of the unknown. Your Highest Self is literally a HUGE unknown since you've never fully been that before. Unknowns, no matter the promise they hold, are scary AF to our egos. So, how do you make your obsession with suffering conscious, free it, and start to face your fears so you can start becoming the next best version of you? In case you haven't figured it out, this episode is going over allllllll of that. My dear friend Lauren Russell is back on the show and we're diving DEEP on personal transformation and how we can make that possible in both the practical and spiritual senses.

Every single human being is going to encounter the caterpillar/goo/butterfly journey, aka the journey where you get the nudge (or sucker punch) from life that it's time to evolve from the current version of you into the next. Each stage of this journey comes with it's own unique challenges and opportunities, and on today's episode, I parse out how I've come to recognize and acknowledge each of these phases and navigate them with as much grace (and ideally sanity) as possible. For all of my spiritual-personal-development-just-trying-to-make-sense-of-this-very-messy-human-existence-thing humans, this is for you! Interested in a luxury 1:1 online health coaching experience?
