Stop Trying to Be Impressive — The Paradox That Unlocks Your Purpose

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer dismantles the myth that winter causes “cold and flu season.” He shows how a stack of lifestyle dominos—back-to-school schedules, less sunlight, more indoor time, circadian disruption (hello, daylight savings), lower movement, and sugar spikes—prime our immune systems for defeat. Then he lays out an actionable, step-by-step Own It Immune Protocol to stay resilient through the holidays so your household becomes the one everyone asks, “How are you never sick?”Episode HighlightsDomino #1: Back to School (Sept/Early Fall) Less outdoor time & sunlight → lower vitamin D, more indoor exposure, schedule stress, earlier mornings → circadian disruption + reduced sleep quality.Domino #2: Daylight Savings (Late Oct/Early Nov) Earlier darkness → mood dips, lower activity, melatonin/cortisol rhythm thrown off → worse sleep, lower HRV, higher inflammation.Domino #3: Sugar Season (Halloween → Holidays) Candy/party foods → acute immune suppression for 4–6 hours post-load; repeat hits + late nights = rolling vulnerability.Self-Fulfilling Slide Less light & movement → lower VO₂ and energy → move even less → sleep & recovery worsen → immunity tanks.Mindset Shift It’s not an unstoppable winter force—it’s a predictable pattern you can interrupt.The Own It Immune Protocol (Holiday Edition)(Lifestyle first; supplements support but don’t replace habits. Not medical advice.)Sunlight & Light HygieneA.M. light (5–10 min) outdoors within an hour of waking to anchor circadian rhythm.Midday sun (10–20 min) to support vitamin D synthesis when possible.Evening: Dim house lights 2–3 hrs pre-bed; avoid overhead glare; use lamps.Sleep & RhythmFixed sleep/wake window (±30 min) even on weekends.3–2–1 wind-down: 3 hrs no heavy food/alcohol; 2 hrs no work; 1 hr no screens (or strict blue-light filters).Cool, dark room; nasal breathing; white noise if needed.Movement & BreathDaily zone-2 (20–40 min) walk or easy cardio; add 10–20 min strength circuit 3x/week.Pattern-interrupt breath: 4–6 slow nasal breaths before meals & during stress to keep you parasympathetic.Sugar & Party StrategyProtein-first at gatherings (20–30g) + fiber & fluids before dessert.One-plate rule; if sweets, pair with protein/fat to blunt spikes.Cut off caffeine by 10–11 a.m. to protect sleep.Foundational NutritionDaily anchors: protein (~0.7–1.0 g/lb goal weight), colorful produce, mineral-rich foods (red meat, seafood, eggs, dairy if tolerated,===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer challenges the popular “Start With Why” playbook. For business, it can inspire; for transformation (health, identity, spiritual life), it often fails—because purpose without identity is precarious. Justin lays out a paradoxically simple flip: Start With WHO. When you know who you are in Christ, your WHAT (daily practices) flows naturally, God supplies the HOW (people, methods, rhythms), and the WHY emerges as fruit—not as pressure. He unpacks identity-driven health, breath as a bridge between body and spirit, and how “going slow” creates depth that compounds into durable change.Episode Highlights- What “Why-First” Misses: It fuels performance-driven faith and burnout when outcomes wobble. - Purpose without identity cracks under pressure.- The Identity-First Model: WHO → WHAT → HOW → WHY- WHO: Receive identity (beloved, chosen; specific calling like “leader of leaders” or “generational shifter”). You don’t earn it—you receive it.- WHAT: Practices flow from identity (sleep/wake rhythms, fueling, movement, stewardship habits).- HOW: God reveals methods, mentors, and systems as you walk in obedience.- WHY: Discovered over time as aligned fruit, not forced at the start.- Faith + Physiology: Breathwork as a physiological bridge to presence and listening; cues the nervous system toward calm so obedience becomes natural, not strained.- S.L.O.W. Tie-In: Stillness → Listen → Obedience → Wisdom. Depth first; speed later.Case Examples:- Personal: Justin’s “leader of leaders” identity clarifies daily standards and decisions.- Artist: Aligning identity (“humble revivalist”) enabled capacity for larger stages without burnout.Common Traps:- Over-clarity Paralysis: Using “I don’t know my why” as procrastination disguised as purpose.- Why-Churn: Chasing new missions without rooting in identity → fatigue, inconsistency.Action Steps- Morning (3 minutes): Breath, then declare 2–3 identity truths (e.g., “I am beloved,” “I am a steward,” “I am a generational shifter”).- One Identity-Aligned Action: Ask, “Given who I am, what’s one thing I do today?” Do it.- Obedience Rep: Take one small obedient step daily—then journal evidence of fruit (even subtle).- Weekly Review (10 minutes): Note patterns: Did WHO make WHAT easier? Did any HOW/WHY surface?- Pair With S.L.O.W.: Create 5 minutes of stillness before planning; listen, then act.Key Ideas & Quotes“Purpose without identity is precarious.”“You don’t earn your WHO; you receive it.”“Be → Do → Discover Why.”“The slower you go (in depth), the faster He can move.”“Obedience is the hinge between hearing and harvest.”Tools Mentioned- Breathwork to prime presence and recall identity before action.- Identity Journal for daily WHO statements and obedience logs.- S.L.O.W. (Stillness–Listen–Obedience–Wisdom) as the meta-rhythm for discernment.===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer introduces “Vitamin G”—gratitude—as a spiritual discipline and a biological signal that shifts the body from protect → heal. Beyond surface-level thank-yous, Justin unpacks embodied gratitude that rewires the brain, raises HRV, lowers cortisol, and realigns your nervous system with peace and presence. From worship playlists to breath-linked journaling, he shows how gratitude transforms physiology—and why it’s the essential “vitamin” your soul needs to thrive.Episode HighlightsGratitude vs. Thankfulness: Moving from polite thanks to embodied reverence that changes state.Bio-Signal, Not Just Mindset: Gratitude activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/repair), often reflected as higher HRV, better recovery, immune function, and emotional regulation.Neurochemistry of Gratitude: Engages the prefrontal cortex; supports serotonin & dopamine pathways → durable, positive neural wiring (not just a temporary mood).Faith Meets Physiology: Scripture’s call to thanksgiving aligns with measurable stress reduction and decision clarity.Environment Matters: Music and inputs shift state (e.g., worship vs. “depressive playlist”); be the thermostat, not the thermometer.Real-World Wins: Clients who integrate gratitude stacks often see HRV and symptom improvements (e.g., brain fog, bloat) as stress load decreases.Pattern Interrupt (daytime): When stress hits, take one slow breath and recall one specific gratitude; notice the state shift.Evening Rewind (3–5 minutes): Play High–Low–Buffalo (high = win, low = challenge, buffalo = surprise) and find gratitude in each.Track Your HRV: Note last month’s average; run the three practices for 7 days and compare average HRV, sleep quality, and mood.Worship Playlist: Start or end the day with gratitude-centered worship to prime the nervous system for calm, clarity, and connection.Scripture & Studies MentionedPsalm 100:4 — Enter his gates with thanksgiving (gratitude opens gates).Psalm 46:10 — Be still and know (stillness precedes state change).Gratitude & HRV / Parasympathetic Activation: Research linking gratitude journaling/practice to improved HRV, emotional regulation, and recovery.Neuroplasticity & Neurochemistry: Gratitude practices support prefrontal activation and serotonin/dopamine balance, reinforcing resilient pathways.===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer reframes “slowing down” as the doorway to breakthrough. If you’ve been chasing certainty, quick fixes, or the next hack, Justin shows why true progress lives on the other side of obedience—and how to reach it through his S.L.O.W. framework: Stillness → Listen → Obedience → Wisdom.Blending behavioral science, stress physiology, and Scripture, he explains why our brains resist obedience (control, instant gratification, loss aversion, and misunderstanding God’s heart), and how practicing stillness and listening raises HRV, calms cortisol, sharpens decision-making, and creates spiritual alignment. He also shares a personal story—choosing integrity over a “bigger” opportunity—that opened unexpected doors and confirmed a simple truth: obedience precedes blessing.Episode Highlights- Why We Resist Obedience: Control vs. trust, impatience & dopamine, loss aversion, and a distorted view of God’s heart.S.L.O.W. Framework:S — Stillness: Downregulates stress, raises HRV (readiness), and opens receptivity. (Ps. 46:10)L — Listen: Quiet the noise to hear the whisper, not the shout. (1 Kings 19:12)O — Obedience: The hinge between hearing and harvest. (Luke 5:5)W — Wisdom: Fruit of consistent, values-aligned obedience; rewires the brain for clarity and resilience (neuroplasticity).- Science of Slowing Down: Calm-state decisions are more accurate and less reactive; trust signals lower cortisol and increase oxytocin/serotonin.- Story of Integrity: Saying “yes” to a smaller platform led to a greater calling—proof that character-driven obedience compounds.- Faith Lens: “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.” (John 14:23) Blessing follows alignment, even when the path feels costly.Action Steps- Daily 5-Minute Stillness: Begin each morning with uninterrupted quiet—no phone, no notes—just breathing and presence.- Practice Active Listening: Journal any “nudges” you sense; ask, “What’s the next right obedient step?”- One Act of Obedience Today: Choose a small, specific yes (or no) aligned with your values. Log it and the outcome.- Evening Reflection: Trace fruit back to prior acts of obedience; look for the 3–24 month “compounding” effect.- Reduce Reactivity: Use a simple wind-down (3-2-1: 3 hrs no heavy food, 2 hrs no work, 1 hr no screens) to keep cortisol low and decisions clear.Scripture & Studies Mentioned- Psalm 46:10 — “Be still and know…”- 1 Kings 19:12 — God’s whisper, not the whirlwind- Luke 5:5 — Obedience → Overflow- Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trust → Straight paths- John 14:23 — Love → Obedience → Presence- Behavioral notes on loss aversion, dopamine & instant rewards, and calm-state decision quality (e.g., HBR insights; Stanford findings referenced in discussion)===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this eye-opening episode of , host tackles one of the most misunderstood health crises today: the hormone replacement trap. What starts as a conversation about early onset perimenopause in women and declining testosterone in men becomes a powerful call to return to the real foundation of health. Justin exposes how modern health clinics push costly hormone and peptide therapies as quick fixes—while neglecting the root cause: deep cellular deficiencies. He breaks down how vitamins, minerals, and amino acids form the true base of hormone health, and shares five practical daily strategies to rebalance your hormones naturally, restore energy, and reclaim vitality without lifelong prescriptions.Episode Highlights ● The Hormone Trap: Why injections, patches, and peptides are often just expensive band-aids masking foundational deficiencies. ● Root Cause vs. Quick Fix: Hormones are end-of-the-line signals; true healing starts with restoring cellular nutrients like magnesium, zinc, iodine, B vitamins, and amino acids. ● The Real Risks of HRT: Hormone replacement can disrupt natural hormone production, fertility, and even raise risks of stroke, blood clots, or cancer. ● Faith & Stewardship: Your body is designed to heal when given the right building blocks—stewarding it well is both wise and worshipful. ● The Own It Philosophy: How Justin’s team rebuilds health from the ground up through personalized cellular testing and targeted replenishment.Action Steps ● Ask yourself: “Am I addressing symptoms or building a foundation?” Shift your mindset from quick fixes to lasting health. ● Prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods and consider cellular-level testing to uncover hidden deficiencies. ● Reduce chronic stress with the 3-2-1 nightly wind-down rule, breathwork, visualization, and intentional Sabbath rest. ● Address metabolic dysfunction through sustainable movement and gradual fat loss to restore natural hormone production. ● Before considering hormone therapy, build your base with the essentials—vitamins, minerals, and amino acids—so your body can heal and self-regulate.===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this eye-opening episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer exposes the truth behind popular blood testing methods and reveals why so many people are getting misled—and misdiagnosed—by at-home and serum tests.After taking three different blood panels at the exact same time—a Rhythm at-home test, a standard serum panel like Function Health, InsideTracker, or 10X Health, and a cellular micronutrient panel—Justin discovered shocking inconsistencies that could have led to entirely different health decisions.This episode is a masterclass in what real preventative health looks like. You’ll learn why at-home tests are unreliable, why serum tests only tell you what’s already broken, and how cellular micronutrient testing uncovers what your body truly needs to thrive. If you’ve ever wondered which test results to trust, this is the episode that could save you years of frustration, wasted money, and misguided “solutions.”Episode Highlights● Garbage In, Garbage Out – How at-home blood tests can give wildly inaccurate data that leads to poor decisions.● The Serum Trap – Why standard lab panels only reveal what’s broken—and miss the root cause of dysfunction.● The Cellular Advantage – How cellular micronutrient testing reveals what your body can actually use and where it’s deficient.● The Vitamin D Shock – Justin’s results showed “deficient” in one test and “optimal” in another—learn why.● The Costly Illusion – Why influencers and big health brands market incomplete testing to the masses.● The Real Gold Standard – How pairing serum and cellular testing gives you the full picture for personalized, preventative health.Action Steps● Stop Guessing – Don’t rely on trendy at-home kits. Demand real data you can trust.● Pair Your Testing – Use serum panels to detect what’s broken, and cellular panels to discover what’s missing.● Personalize Supplementation – Never start a supplement without knowing if your cells can use it.● Think Preventively – Don’t wait for symptoms. Be proactive before issues surface.● Get Expert Guidance – Work with a practitioner who will interpret your data—not just send you a PDF.● Own Your Health – Go to [ownittesting.com](https://ownittesting.com) and use code HEALTH2025 to get your cellular panel at cost.===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this energizing solo episode, host Justin Roethlingshoefer unpacks the magic behind Optimization Day—Own It’s immersive, in-person experience that catalyzes lasting change. Fresh off the latest Miami event, Justin shares why attendees left saying, “I’m seeing myself differently.” You’ll learn how identity, community, and precision work together to turn intention into transformation, and why getting in the room on December 11–12 (Miami) may be the permission you’ve been waiting to give yourself.Episode Highlights- Identity Is the Accelerator: Most people chase tactics before they upgrade who they believe they are. When identity shifts, habits follow.- Community Multiplies Transformation: Proximity creates intimacy—being around the healthiest, wealthiest, kindest people normalizes greatness and locks in change.- Precision Secures the Win: Stop guessing.
