Today's journey takes us into unconventional living with my guest, Julie Kelly—my wife and partner in adventure. Together, we delve into our nomadic lifestyle, shared with our three vibrant children, each step an exploration outside societal norms. This conversation unfolds the layers behind our decision to steer clear of conventional schooling, whilst aiming to better support our kids’ needs. Our conversation starts with what we learned from developmental psychologist and evolutionary anthropologist Peter Gray, emphasising the pivotal role of play in a child's development and how we've designed our environment to nurture this philosophy. From living in a house and sending our kids to Forest School to the compact simplicity and togetherness of campsite living in a VW camper van, we share the ups and downs of our experiences. We also discuss living in an intentional community in Costa Rica and Airbnb's important role in enabling our journey.

Beyond Survival: Fighter Jet Pilot Kegan Gill's Recovery From Ejection, TBI, and PTSD 1:36:49

1:36:49

Kegan "SMURF" Gill, a former US Navy F/A-18E pilot whose life took a dramatic turn following a near-fatal high-speed ejection at 695mph. Kegan's story is not just about survival; it's a profound narrative of overcoming life-altering injuries, battling and defeating prescription drug addiction, and enduring a gruelling two-year recovery process. His triumphant return to flying Super Hornets symbolises a victory over adversity that few can imagine, yet many can draw inspiration from. Kegan's tale, however, unfolds further as he confronts delayed-onset PTSD and cognitive issues from a severe traumatic brain injury—a battle that traditional pharmaceutical treatments only worsened, leading to his hospitalisation. Faced with the limitations of the VA healthcare system and a daunting mental health struggle, Kegan embarked on a quest for healing beyond conventional medicine. His transformative experiences with alternative therapies, including indigenous medicine, are pivotal in his journey toward holistic healing. Now medication-free and a competitor in ultra-endurance events, Kegan advocates for chronic health. Join us as he shares his inspiring story of recovery, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of wellness, all while raising a family and giving back through speaking and writing about his life-changing experiences.

Michael uses blood testing to guide clients in these areas toward optimal health and longevity. On this podcast, Dr. Bazlinton discusses the bodymapping approach and the unique programme he has created for those in the UK who want to apply science and technology to manage their health better.

Mike founded Sacred Rides , a highly successful mountain bike adventure company (and sold it in 2019), co-founded Bikes Without Borders , and is the former Dean of Social Enterprise at the Centre for Social Innovation . On this podcast, Mike reflects on his Substack series, Restoring Connection: The Most Vital Work of Our Time , in which he offers practical advice for creating meaningful connections with oneself and others.

Decoding Discrepancies: What to Do When Your Sleep Tracker Contradicts Your Experience 24:49

hace 1 year24:49

24:49

In today's episode of the Nourish Balance Thrive Podcast, we delved deep into the realm of sleep health, particularly focusing on the role of sleep wearables and nearables. Here's a summary of the key takeaways from our discussion: 1. **Sleep Wearables and Nearables Track Sleep**: We explored how these devices passively monitor various sleep metrics such as duration, phases, and disturbances, offering a convenient and objective way to gather data on our sleep patterns. 2. **Self-Monitoring as a Cornerstone of Behavior Change**: We discussed the importance of self-monitoring in the context of behavior change. By actively tracking our sleep habits, we gain insights that can lead to meaningful improvements in sleep quality and, consequently, athletic performance. 3. **Variability and Opacity in Proprietary Sleep and Stress Scores**: We acknowledged that the scores provided by these devices, though helpful, can vary and sometimes be opaque in their calculation methods. It's essential to understand the limitations of these metrics. 4. **Process Over Outcome**: Emphasizing Simon Marshall's wisdom, we stressed the importance of focusing on the behaviors that lead to the desired outcome rather than the outcome itself. It's more beneficial to track and adjust behaviors influencing sleep quality than to fixate solely on the sleep efficiency percentage. 5. **Sleep-State Misperception and Imperfections in Tracking Devices**: We addressed the concept of sleep-state misperception, where there can be a discrepancy between the data reported by devices and how we subjectively feel about our sleep. This highlights the need to consider both objective data and our subjective experience when assessing sleep quality. Each of these points contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how we can use technology to enhance our sleep health while also recognizing the importance of our own perceptions and behaviors in this process. Our discussion today serves as a guide to navigating the complex world of sleep tracking, aiming to help you achieve optimal sleep for better athletic performance and overall well-being. Don't miss this opportunity to revolutionize your sleep and performance. Join us on Discord and start your journey with SleepMate today. Your best sleep and peak performance await!

Robb Wolf is a former research biochemist and 2X New York Times/Wall Street Journal Best-selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired To Eat and co-author of Sacred Cow , which explains why well-raised meat is good for us and the planet. Robb, one of the best-known names in the Paleo movement, has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide via his top-ranked iTunes podcast , books, and seminars. He co-founded the 1st and 4th CrossFit affiliate gyms in the world and then went on to co-found LMNT Electrolytes . Robb also holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, is a former California State Powerlifting Champion, and is a 6-0 amateur kickboxer. It’s been almost ten years since my first appearance on Robb’s Paleo Solution podcast, with the interview that ultimately launched NBT as a business. Today, Robb and I discuss the Paleo movement and why it declined in popularity, his latest business and personal ventures, his current love for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), and why you might like to try the sport, too. We also discuss red flags when choosing a gym, preventing injuries during BJJ, and staying sharp as you age.
