Last weekend I witnessed a summer camp for mostly grown ups with intense interest playing the guitar.

If it was yoga we would call it a week long intensive. Maybe a retreat. And we would weigh the cost/benefit of the continuing education and whether or not the credits are pre approved.

But at the core, what are we really dealing with and we're dealing with this idea that there's a prescription for the way that you should eat or a prescription for how you should take care of your skin, how you should move your body, that ultimately is going to provide whatever it is that you're looking for whether it's happiness, success in your career, a better relationship with your in your marriage or with your significant other, and it just keeps coming back to our bodies are on, well that the, that our body is our brand it's who we are. And it's equated with what we receive in the world. And I just wanted to put the kibosh on it, I wanted to kind of lift the veil.

you know food fitness and mindset and once you can get your act together in those three areas, you are on the path to freedom and I think at the core we all want freedom, and have your health is a huge freedom

What you’ll find throughout this podcast are ways to improve overall health and wellbeing in 3 basic categories, physical, mental and emotional, and how those things connect with the health of our nervous system and stress response.
