#1 Mindset w/ Eduardo Briceño | How To Stop Sabotaging Your Growth Mindset
We kick off a series on mindset, and specifically, a growth mindset. We’ll define it, but I think most of you are aware of a growth mindset vs a fixed mindset. And we all probably think we understand and have a growth mindset. And yet what you’re about to hear is how we often sabotage our intent to be growth minded and lose the benefit. You’re going to have your eyes opened, and be able to make immediate shifts that will give you the benefits you desire. My expert on the topic is Stanford-trained mindset expert Eduardo Briceño.
#4 Heal Thy Self w/ Kevin Miller | The Big Idea, The Big Takeaway & The Big Action
I wrap the series on Heal Thy Self. I began with Dr. Bradley Nelson, veteran holistic physician and one of the world’s foremost experts on natural methods of achieving wellness. He’s author of the best-selling book "The Emotion Code" which provides step-by-step instructions for working with the body's energy and healing power. His new book is, “The Body Code: Unlocking Your Body's Ability to Heal Itself,” and it is was our muse for this series. The concept of tapping into your subconscious to guide you in how to heal yourself, is initially a stretch for me. But there is just so much of it that makes sense and I have too many people I respect who attest to finding healing through these methods, so I wanted to being the concepts to us all.
#3 Heal Thy Self w/ Dr Randy James | How To Discern & Create Your Mindstyle
We continue this series on Heal Thy Self that we kicked off with veteran holistic physician Dr. Bradley Nelson. His best-selling book "The Emotion Code" provides step-by-step instructions for working with the body's energy healing power. His new book is, “The Body Code: Unlocking Your Body's Ability to Heal Itself,” and it is our muse for this discussion. The methods he talks about have some basis in science but require…some faith and mind expanding. I found enough people testifying to Dr Nelson and his concepts that I wanted to discuss it more, and when I find people who are influencing lots of people, and people I respect, I want to know more. This is an exploration of possibility. It doesn’t mean I understand and follow it all. To help, I have here with me today Randy James, Medical Doctor and Functional Medicine expert, and my dear friend. We’re going to talk about the concept, respectfully, candidly and with as little bias as possible.
#2 What Drives Dr Bradley Nelson
I’m back with veteran holistic physician Dr. Bradley Nelson to walk through what drives him in the key areas of life. What does he value and what are the habits he employs to walk out those values. Dr. Nelson is one of the world’s foremost experts on natural methods of achieving wellness and is the creator of The Emotion Code and The Body Code system, which were the topics of our first episode together. His best-selling book "The Emotion Code" provides step-by-step instructions for working with the body's energy healing power and his new book is, “The Body Code: Unlocking Your Body's Ability to Heal Itself,” and it is our muse for this discussion.

#1 Heal Thy Self w/ Dr Bradley Nelson | How To Find & Rid Yourself Of Negative Energies Causing Illness & Disease In You
We kick off a series on Healing. Your body's ability to heal itself. Physically and psychologically. Every day we are exposed to things that compromise our very beings. Just going through the day, taxes us and at the end, we sleep, and while we sleep, we expect to, hope to, recharge so we can do it again. This is an aspect of healing. But now we are going to go deeper into the acute issues of our lives and why we are or are not, healing sufficiently. And of course what we can do to greatly increase our healing. My expert for the series is veteran holistic physician Dr. Bradley Nelson who is one of the world’s foremost experts on natural methods of achieving wellness. He is the creator of The Emotion Code and The Body Code system, and is the CEO of Discover Healing, a holistic education platform that provides training and certifies practitioners worldwide.

#4 Strong Body Strong Mind w/ Kevin Miller | The Big Idea, The Big Takeaway & The Big Action
I wrap up our series on Strong Body Strong Mind and I’m going to give you a paradigm shifting analogy that I believe will forever change how you view your brain’s ability in regards to the overall health of your body. I kicked off the series with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon whose focus is Muscle Centric Medicine. Her new book is called Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well. The focus was on how muscle, built by protein and resistance training, is key for our brain health and long term cognitive ability. This concept is a cultural shift. Then I brought on Randy James, my close friend, medical doctor and Functional Medicine expert, to talk about his experience with patients and his own growing understanding of the importance of skeletal muscle as it relates to overall health. Here now, I give you some highlights from the conversations, and again, an analogy I believe will greatly alter how you view and care for the future health of your brain.
#3 Strong Body Strong Mind w/ Dr Randy James | What Type Of Exercise Will Best Support Your Cognitive Capacity For The Long Term
We continue our series on Strong Body Strong Mind and How To Remain Fully Capable As You Age. My catalyst for this series is Dr Gabrielle Lyon whose expertise is Muscle-Centric Medicine, and that is our muse, how in our search for long term health often misses the vital role of skeletal muscle. Gabrielle’s new book is Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well and her podcast is The Dr Gabrielle Lyon Show. Here, I’m with my great friend, Randy James, Medical Doctor and Functional Medicine expert. He works directly, hand in hand with patients every day who are seeking to live long and live well. You can find him at truelifemedicine.com.
#2 What Drives Dr Gabrielle Lyon
I’m back with Dr Gabrielle Lyon to find out what drives her, to dig into her values and how she walks them out in her life. We start off talking about spirituality and Gabrielle shares the gravity she faces as she deals with actual life and death with patients. We talk about her navy seal husband who never complains. We of course talk at length about health and wellness and her own habits and get into how and why she is so driven. Dr. Lyon again, is board certified in family medicine and is a subject-matter expert and educator in the practical application of protein types and levels for health, performance, aging, and disease prevention. Which we dove deep into in my part one conversation.
#1 Strong Body Strong Mind w/ Dr Gabrielle Lyon | How To Remain Fully Capable As You Age
We are talking about aging well. Specifically, maintaining our mental and physical strength and capacity, as long as possible. The media talks about lifespan, but what I care about is health span. I want to be healthy and able to the end, whether my end is 60 years old or 100. As opposed to lingering for the last 5 or 20 years as is getting to be the norm. A tragic norm. My expert on the topic is Dr Gabrielle Lyon. I’ve known of Dr Lyons for a long, long time through Functional Medicine circles. Her focus and expertise is Muscle-Centric Medicine, and today we are talking about just that…muscle, and how we are missing this necessity in our culture that is obsessed with so many of the wrong things for aging well.
