Unlocking the Mind-Body Connection [Inspired Inner Circle]

There we go. All right, so let's start again.

I just want to. I wanted to point out that we want to make sure this is sort of your time, right? So we've got this hour once a month. I want you to. You've got lifetime access to this, right? I want this to be a. A time that you can always feel like you can come in and ask a question. If it's something that you don't want sort of answered in front of everybody, it's just even, you know, send in a question. But if, if it's okay to answer it in front of everybody, then that's good too. Or you can say, I'm going to send in an anonymous question. Just answer it. Nobody will know it's me asking the question. I can do that as well. So whatever sort of works for you guys, but I want to make sure that you get the maximum out of this. So feel free to participate during it as well as, you know, even before or after. So today what we're going to really be talking about is the connection between the mind and the body. So the gut brain kind of access. We're going to talk about that. It's really powerful. And I think. I know we probably went through the program and I talk about it a little bit in the program, but this is sort of a great way for us to really dive into it, give you a lot more understanding of why and how things are working. So what we want to work on is.

How your brain and your gut communicate. It's in constant communication. If you remember, you probably saw the vagus nerve video that talked about that, that connection completely. It talks about how there's a constant communication between the gut and the brain, and that's done through the vagus nerve. So that can actually either activate your sympathetic nervous system or activate your parasympathetic. I had somebody ask me the other day that. They were just saying that how do you really explain the difference between sympathetic and parasympathetic? Because you hear those terms all the time. So your sympathetic nervous system is the response to a threat. So what's going to happen is the system will communicate internally to get everything in line with the threat. So physiologically there'll be changes and psychologically there'll be changes. And that's done through that vagus nerve communication. There's a lot of information going back and forth. Your parasympathetic basically is the opposite. What it's saying is, everything is fine, we're in, we're okay. There's no Threats. So they call this the parasympathetic, the rest and digest. And so what that basically means is the system is going into a rest and then digesting and processing whatever needs to be processed. So I talk about this, you know, if you've ever been in a situation where you get, get nervous, you get scared, something happens and you feel you in your stomach that you have to almost go to the bathroom, right? So you get that feeling. That's the sympathetic nervous system. What it's basically doing is saying we don't need to be digesting this food like it would in the parasympathetic. We need to dump it, we need to get rid of it because we need to run faster. So when you have food in your stomach, what is the stomach doing? It's drawing in blood. Well, that blood now is needed by the muscle groups, it's needed to run faster. So if you've got this, this blood going into your stomach, into your intestines to start digesting this food, you're pulling away the energy that you may have needed to run faster or fight harder. So that's why it wants to dump the food, it wants to get rid of it. You see it in animals all the time. If an animal gets scared, they'll, they'll go to the bathroom, right? That's the same system. We have identical system. It's basically trying to protect us and make sure that we can become stronger and faster. So that's the sympathetic parasympathetic. And I've talked to you about the brain and the mind, right? And they're two different things. I, people a lot of times refer to them as the same thing, but it's really not. The brain is the physical brain, the hardware, the, I call that the computer. So the computer can get damaged if it, if it's dropped. If I drop this computer, it can physically get damaged. That will affect the operations of the computer the same way the brain can get injured and affect the way it operates. When I talk about the mind, I'm talking about the software that's running inside the computer. So that software is running all the programs. You were built and born with pre installed software. And so 95% of everything that's happening for you on a day to day basis is being run by this software. Digestion, heart rate, everything that you physiologically is going on is all controlled by this software. It requires no thinking, you don't have to think about it. It's just automatic autonomic nervous system response. So we've got the Brain and the mind. So one of the things I know when Maya sent out the invitation, she was talking about, does your brain love exercise, love physical exercise? So the brain may love it, but the mind may not. And there's where there's sometimes a disconnect. The reason the brain likes it is because it's physical. And so anything to strengthen the brain. The brain's a physical organ. So it's going to like that blood flow, those neurotransmitters, all of that positive endorphins that it's getting. Of course it's going to like that. So why would the mind not like it? Well, it may not like it because it's not congruent with beliefs or some of the programs that got built. Right? So, for example, if somebody is saying, I want to get physically in good shape, I want to do these things, and they go out and they start an exercise program. And so they're feeling good because they're physically getting the exercise. But then why do they stop it? Because the mind may be coming back saying, if we lose weight, all of a sudden we're going to become, you know, more attractive. If it's a woman who's maybe had, you know, bad experiences with, with aggression with men, she may not want to get in shape. It may not be safe. And so the mind will protect her from trying to get in. I'm using that as an example. It could be hundreds of different things, but the mind will try to protect you from pain or hurt, from different experiences. So that is where the mind would say physical exercise is dangerous because now we get in good shape and now we're going to attract more attention. As just one example, there could be many things. So your brain, your physical brain, accounts for about 2% of your entire body weight in terms of what it. Depending on what size you are and your weight. But generally it's in around 2%. So 2% is the weight in the system, but the brain actually takes 20% of the glucose.

So this little 2% is a big drain on your energy because it's taking a lot of glucose to process the millions of bits of information going through that brain all the time. So a 2% brain is accounting for 20%. That's why sometimes you can feel so exhausted. So if your glucose level or you're tired all the time, it's chances are the brain is draining a lot of the glucose, but you may already be depleted in it. So there's the gut brain connection again. So if you don't have a good Gut connection, and you don't have a good gut flora that could affect the brain as well. So I'm going to talk about a couple of different things. I got a lot of stuff to sort of COVID so I want to make sure I get to this in a few minutes. I'll also ask if anybody has any questions, and we can do that as well. But one of the things that we talked about, and I know Maya put in the. In the invitation, was talking about motivation. Is motivation your friend? And what I say is motivation is. Is not coming from the subconscious mind. It's coming from the conscious mind. That's why motivation sometimes goes away, because you have to think about being motivated. You have to psych yourself up to become motivated. So what's more beneficial, I say what's more beneficial is discipline. Discipline you can program. So you can become a disciplined person by repeating something and building a program. Motivation is fleeting. You could be super motivated, and then something can take you down. So it's. I talk about motivation the same way I talk about confidence. Confidence is not your friend. Confidence is like the friend that doesn't show up on moving day. So when you need it, right, it's all. It's never there. But when you don't need it, it's all over the place. So when things are going well in your life, you feel really confident. When things aren't going well, you don't feel confident. Well, that's when you needed the confidence is when things aren't going well to get yourself back on track. But it's never there. So I talk about that when I work with professional athletes, golfers in particular. I'll ask them, do you think you need to be confident to play good golf? And they'll all tell me the same thing, Yes, I think I need to be confident. And I say to them, what if I told you you don't need confidence? Confidence is a byproduct of your skill. You have a skill, and you're so highly skilled at what you do, you don't need the confidence. Your skill will carry you. Confidence is fine because it'll show up when everything's going good. But as soon as something goes wrong now, your confidence leaves and you start chasing confidence. You never needed it. You needed your skill, and you've spent years developing the skill. So motivation is the same kind of thing. That's why, you see, I don't know if anybody here joined a gym in January, right, But got all excited about, I'm going to go work out. I'm Going to start doing this, I'm going to start doing that. And then the motivation left, right? Because the program. Right. May have come in and interfered with that. So when you are focused on. I'll give you an example. One of the things that I think has always benefited me is I grew up with a dad that really focused on discipline. My dad was highly disciplined. Everything I saw my dad do all came from discipline. So I think that was a really good thing for me to learn early in life is that discipline was the most important thing for me. And it got me through even some bad times. And so I've never really shared a lot of this before. I don't share it in the program, obviously, but I. I remember there was a time where we went through some really tough financial times. I mean, it was really hard and pretty scary thinking about, how am I going to get through this? What am I going to do?

And trust me, the natural. The natural instinct, right, is to just lie down. I'm just. I just. I. I don't have any motivation to work. I don't have any motivation to do anything. But if it wasn't for the discipline that I learned early in life, I would not have got through that. I would have probably quit or not gotten back up. But I thought about my dad and what my dad would do. And literally, my dad's, like, voice came into my head, right? You know, telling me, get going right? Move. Start doing something right. And I just thought about, you know, the. What. What did he. What would he have done? And I saw how tough my dad's life was. I mean, he worked hard his entire life, and you've never met anybody that worked so hard and was so sick. He had neck problems, he had back problems, he had asthma, he had bronchitis. I mean, all kinds of different health issues. And I think the best compliment I ever got from my mom was one day I was. I had a hockey game that night, and I was sick. I had a flu, and. But I played through the flu. I got through the game. I got up in the morning, I was still not feeling good. I was throwing up. And so I came out and my mom would always have breakfast for me, but I didn't want to eat breakfast when I was feeling that sick. And I took my books and I was walking out the door. My mom says, are you going to school? And I said, yeah. And so she says, you're just like your father. That was the best compliment I think I ever got right, that I'm not going to quit. I'M going to keep going. I also, which was really funny there was when I first got into high school, they talked about during orientation, one of the things they said is we have an award for anybody who goes through their entire high school years and never misses a day. There's an award we give for that. And I was like, I'm going for that award. I'm gonna get that award. I wanna, I, I'm gonna make sure that I never miss a day. And I never did. And in, in Canada, they have grade 13. There's five years of high school. You don't. You can go to college after 12 if you want to, but if you go to 13, it's like half an associate's degree. So grade 13. So I stayed all the way through grade 13. So five years of high school, never missed a day. That's going through 60 stitches in my head, six concussions, all the things that I dealt with in hockey. I still and still went to school, never missed a day. That's discipline. That is the most important thing that you can use. Right. And that comes again from the gut.

If the gut is out of balance, the brain will be out of balance. And so the mind will get you up and get you moving if you have focused and work on, on the, on the discipline. So that's why a lot of people, New Year's resolutions don't stick, because they may have some underlying beliefs that are not congruent with this motivation that they just developed. So the motivation sort of gets them moving, but the beliefs will come back in and knock them back down. So beliefs are basically going to have a major effect. So if you have any underlying beliefs that are not congruent with what you're doing, right, you need to address those and get those beliefs corrected because that will affect the, the brain and body, the mind and body connection as well. So here's, here's how that can happen.

If you have. And, and that's why, you know, congratulations on doing the TIP program, because TIP really addresses a lot of those underlying beliefs, A lot of those underlying issues that you are interfering so getting those things out of the way. But, for example, if somebody has a particular belief, we'll go back to the issue of a woman who's maybe worried about losing weight and getting attractive. If what is she going to do? She's probably going to go to comfort foods that are going to make her feel better. And that's very easy to slip into. We all do. You do when you feel bad, right. Or you're struggling with something. I don't know about any of you, but I'll go eat ice cream. That always makes me feel good. I love eating ice cream. All of those really things that are not physically probably good for you definitely feel better. So no matter who you are, you go through some of these times and we're going to look for ways to feel better. So if you eat the wrong foods for comfort, you're going to feel good in the moment, but your system has to handle it. So your gut is going to have to deal with that and it's going to have to figure out how to handle it. So immediately, a lot of resources go to that area.

And that's going to pull from the nutrients and supplements and everything that you maybe need. And I'm going to talk a lot about the actual gut and what's actually physically happening in the gut, but those are the kinds of things that you need to become aware of if you're not eating the right foods or supplementing the right way. If the gut goes out of balance, your brain can be in real balance, but your gut can be out of balance, and that's going to have an effect on how you feel. So those two connections are very, very powerful. We'll talk about things that you can do with it as well.

So.

And the fact that you've, you've all gone through TIP is really good because that's the kind of stuff that you need to be using as your tools, because life keeps coming at us. So even though you've gone through TIP and we've reset the system, right, there's still new things coming into your life that you need to be dealing with. But now you've got the tools and you know how to use the tools, right, to benefit yourself. One of the best benefits from the TIP program, and if you guys remember going through this, was the banking process. If you remember in the banking process, what did we do? We asked you to come up with some times in your life that you excelled, that you did something very positive or you accomplished something or won something, or maybe just did something that when you look back on, you can say, wow, I really pulled that off. That was pretty exceptional. The reason that banking process is powerful is it becomes the resources that your mind uses moving forward. So when you have a particular challenge that comes into your life, that's a new challenge. What do you want your mind looking at? Well, we're going to get the old trauma stuff out of the way, so it's not focusing as that, as its resource. The banking Process is the resource that we want your mind using. So this webinar series that we're going to continue, I want to keep reminding you to keep using those tools. If you have another success in your life, go through the process of banking it, put it into your system as a resource. It's something I think I just naturally did. So when I developed the program, this seems so natural, intuitive to me because that's what I would find myself automatically doing before I ever developed the program. But I had a really interesting childhood, as everybody knows. If you've gone through the program, I had a lot of different amazing moments in my life, a lot of great successes. I was just very fortunate. So when I came down to trying to do the banking process, I had to eliminate things. I had so many trying to figure out which ones I would use. But now what I, I do is those all become the resources that I use. And I think it's what really did help me. So when I went through that tough time financially, right. Once I got through that, that's now something I banked. It's a resource that every time I get into another tough situation, I'll go, I remember going through that before, but I did it and I got through it. And I didn't get bitter and angry. I managed to get through it. Those are the kinds of tools that I want you to keep focusing on. So even though we did three during the session, don't stop at that. Keep writing them down. And every time you get another success in your life, bank it. So when I go out and play golf, and my son Brandon knows this, he does it too. If we have a really good shot, we bank it. And how do we bank it? We use our symbol, our statement and our anchor. So as we go through the, the process, let's just say I had a great shot or I made a really great recovery, I will then use my symbol, my statement and my anchor and. And literally say to myself, bank it. I want that now as part of my system. That's now a resource for me to remember. So if I get into a similar situation, what's my mind going to do? It's going to go to my resources. What are my resources? My highlights, not my old events and experiences that were interfering with me being able to stay present. That's how I stay present. So keep banking your highlights in your life. Keep banking things that are going well for you.

So the other things that we want to cover.

How exercise affects our brain. So why is exercise so good for us? Is because exercise Actually chemically changes the brain.

So even though physically we're getting stronger, right? So that's. That's positive. But your brain is also getting stronger. And a lot of people don't realize how much the brain can strengthen along with the physical, because most people think, I'm going to go out and get in shape, so I'm going to start walking, I'm going to start running, I'm going to start doing these different things. And they feel like, oh, physically, I feel so much better and so much stronger. But you're also strengthening your brain.

And I'll give you a couple of different ways that happens. So if you go out and, for example, run, one of the things that actually happens is there's an increase in serotonin that is actually going through your brain. And serotonin is sort of the bliss molecule. It makes you feel good. So when you feel good, you're going to be more apt to go back and start exercising. So serotonin is what produces that. And actually how the serotonin gets produced is there's a neurotransmitter in your brain called anandamide. And anandamide is the precursor to the release of serotonin. So when you start to exercise, you actually increase the anandamide, the neurotransmitter, that is the communicator in the brain to say, this is good. Let's create a reward for this. So dopamine, serotonin, those things are all rewards. The serotonin makes you feel better, makes you feel good. It's called. You ever heard of the runner's high? Runners get a high. That's what it's coming from, is the anandamide creating the serotonin, which increases the feeling of bliss.

So one of the things, and I'm a big.

Everybody knows the way I feel about drugs and how drugs interact. But, for example, people talk about, you know, they. They'll smoke marijuana. And so, okay, that helps them feel better. But what's actually happening with the thc, which is the active ingredient in marijuana, is THC has almost the exact chemical makeup of anandamide. If you look up the chemical makeup, the molecules, the hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen molecules inside thc, it's almost identical to the neurotransmitter anandamide. So when that hits the bloodstream, that then hits the receptors in the brain, the brain thinks it's anandamide, thinks THC is anandamide. What's it going to do? Release serotonin. So what really gave you the feel good? It Was the anandamide. The THC just activated it. It's your own system that's capable of doing all this. And once you can learn how to use your system to your advantage, right, you can do it all naturally. I've, like I said, I've talked about, I've never had a drug, never had alcohol in my life, and I'm a pretty positive guy. I can have my downtime, I can get knocked down, I can feel sad. I can have those kinds of times, but I can naturally pick myself up from them. And exercise was obviously a big one when I was a kid playing hockey and tennis and all those things, but I never really needed anything else. It's the same thing. And. And the reason I'm talking about this is to give you an understanding of how powerful your brain is.

You.

Your brain is brilliant. There's never been a device ever created that can do what your own brain is capable of doing. It's incredible. And it can create anything that you need it to do if you train it that way. And that's all the stuff that we're doing with this program, is getting you to train your brain to naturally do what it's capable of doing. So as an example, I'll talk about people who smoke cigarettes. And so when they come in and they say, I want to stop smoking cigarettes, I'll ask them, what do you think you're addicted to?

Most people will answer, I'm addicted to nicotine. And what I say is, what if I told you you're not addicted to nicotine? They'll say, well, what am I addicted to? I said, nicotine has almost the exact identical compound of another neurotransmitter in your brain called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is the precursor to the release of dopamine. So when you take a puff on a cigarette, the nicotine gets into your bloodstream. The blood, The. The nicotine hits your brain within five seconds. The receptors in your brain see nicotine as acetylcholine, release dopamine. So I said, what you're addicted to is feeling good, and you're producing that on your own. It's your own brain that's producing that. So I'm a big believer in all the different ways that you can sort of hack your own brain, figure out how to hack your own brain, all naturally, if you can. And the more things that you learn about how the brain works, the better. So let me give you another.

Interesting point. There's a part. There's a piece of Your brain called the anterior cingulate cortex. And it's in the frontal area, frontal part of the brain. What they have now, what neuroscience is now learning about that part of the brain, it's basically the part of your brain that that sort of pushes you to get stuff done, that sort of gets you moving. So the anterior cingulate cortex is very, very powerful in terms of if you go out of your way to do something, it rewards you. That's part of what it does. It works on a number of different things. But here's the other thing that they have found in the research now, which is really fascinating. If you go out of your way to do something you don't want to do. Now, that's different, right? This is different than going out of your way to do things you want to do. This is going out of your way to do things that you don't want to do but are good for you. But you push yourself to go and do it. There's the discipline again. If you have the ability to do that, the anterior cingulate cortex grows, gets bigger and stronger. Now, how interesting is that? This is something they're really just learning in neuroscience. So the people that can go and do things, that they're going, I just going in the cold plunge, right? I don't want to go on a cold plunge, Right? But if you go in the cold plunge, even though you don't want to do it, you're strengthening that part of the brain. And they now show physically, it grows and gets bigger and stronger, just like a muscle. So it doesn't necessarily do it. If you go and do something that you want to do, it just sort of does its process. But if you push it and go out of your way, that part of your brain becomes stronger. So it's a really powerful thing, and it's good to know that. So when you say to yourself, oh, I just. I'll use a cold plunge as an example. I just don't want to get in that thing. That's a. I'm going to avoid that. You're not going to grow that part of your brain. But if you go in it, even though it's sort of counterintuitive to what you're thinking you should be doing, you're actually strengthening that part of the brain which is really powerful. We have the ability to do all of these kinds of things. So whatever you go out of your way to do, you even make it stronger. So that's why the fitness series audios are really good. If you're listening to those, and you're walking and listening to those. We've got the different areas, the resiliency, all of those things. We're going to be producing even more audios for you to sort of have in your. In your toolbox. And it's all going to be focused on all of this brain development. And so we're going to keep developing more and more audios for you to keep training your brain. The more you train your brain, the better it's going to be for you. And we can do it all naturally. So what happens if we have a lot of stress? Right? If we have a lot of stress, what's actually going to happen to the brain? Well, the brain doesn't like stress, so trauma is also stress. It'll affect the body. So there was a story I was just watching the other day of a woman who lost her voice. She was actually a professional singer, and seven years after a physical assault, a sexual assault that she had, she lost her voice. She had no idea. She just couldn't sing. Absolutely. It shut down the system and. And it took her years to figure out that was the connection. Once she got the trauma resolved, she got her voice back. So if you remember, if you came in and went through our system, we actually did voice recognition with you guys. If you remember taking your voice and listening to how your voice is actually.

Expressing, you'll see it in your voice. Your voice will show up. Right. If there's something wrong and you can hear it. So we have those audios as well that can also address any of those underlying issues that you may need to be working on. Because current stress. The good part about what. What you've done with TIP is we've got that old stuff out of the way, but new stuff can start showing up. And if it does, you've got all these tools. I want you to keep understanding how powerful these tools are. Right. Don't think that TIP was. Yeah, it was great and I feel better. Yes. But you can still continue to grow and keep using these tools, and we're going to keep adding more and more tools for you. But stress will affect the body as well, affect the gut. I'll give you a story that I think is really interesting that you may find interesting. Everybody knows the story that I was adopted. So when I was a baby, I was adopted. I always knew I was adopted. What I didn't understand till much later is my birth certificate was dated two years after I was born. I just never asked the question. I never really realized what it was what actually happened was when I was little, even though I've been very, very healthy all my life, when I was very young, I used to have very, very severe stomach pains, like, really bad. And I remember lying on the couch one day and all these women are trying to comfort me, and my stomach pain was really bad, but I was very little. But I. I remember this particular event. The reason I'm telling you that is because that's going to correlate to another story I want to share with you. But I remember. So Dr. Rolley, who we believe is probably my other, my grandfather, whatever, they send me to a number of different specialists, and they all came back with the same recommendation. It's his appendix. Take his appendix out. And Dr. Rolley said, no, we're not taking his appendix out. This is a child. It's not an appendix issue. He was very natural. So even though he was an md, I was on cod liver oil, castor oil, I mean, all those kinds of things, all natural supplements. But I was having the stomach pains. What he. And this is where I think my life changed. What he told my parents, which I didn't know, is that apparently my parents, during those two years before my birth certificate was actually issued, got into a legal battle. Somebody was trying to fight my parents to get me back. And they didn't have a lot of money, so they must have been totally stressed out during those early years of my life. What Dr. Rowley told them, this is a story that my mom told me. What Dr. Rolley told him is take the stress out of the home. That's where his stomach pains are coming from. He's feeling your stress. Was I stressed? No, not at all. I'm a. I'm a child. I'm three or four years of age, so I'm not understanding financial stress that they're under, but I could feel their pain, their stress that was affecting me. That's why I think my life changed so dramatically. My parents took out every stress, like, there was zero stress in my home. From that point on, I never had a stomach problem again. It totally went away. And I believe that that was coming. And that's why my parents did that, was because they were told that it was a stress. So I just wrote my next book called Don't Mess With My DNA, which is really for parents to talk about how not only is stress affecting the physical symptoms, but it's also affecting the DNA. But that the reason I share that story was it's very powerful to understand how stress, even if it's not your stress is affecting the people around you. So use these tools, keep using these tools, right? To get your system to be able to adjust. Stress is going to show up here and there. It's how you handle it. And you've got all the tools now to learn how to handle current stress, right. And get it out. It's not going to be affecting your system. So.

And trauma obviously creates stress.

So.

So the TIP program addresses the trauma. There's a very famous doctor, his name was Dr. Hammer and he was from Germany and world, world famous on helping people with cancer. And. But they basically shut him down because he was so controversial on the things that he was doing. But he said he developed testicular cancer after his son died and he connected that testicular cancer to the trauma of his son dying. And that's how he developed his whole cancer protocol. And he did some amazing stuff, but they didn't like it. So the German government really went after him and shut him down. He moved. He went to, I think in France or somewhere when they still went after him and, and jailed him because he was doing things that they didn't like. All natural to fix things. So, I mean, you can look it up. Dr. Hammer from Germany is fascinating information. So.

The other thing like I just talked about with the book that I was talking about with.

The DNA, what we now know is that when we have unresolved trauma, it actually affects the way the DNA is read and transcribed. And what I mean by that is certain.

Genetics, certain genes in your system are affected by trauma. And how that works is you have genes that work on inflammation, genes that work on neurotransmitters. There's all kinds of different genes in your system. What I have discovered through the research that I've been doing is that the genes that work on your immune system are actually turned down. The genes that work on neuroplasticity are turned down, the neurotransmitter genes are turned down, inflammation genes turn up. So there's all. It's the way the genes are expressing themselves. And in a simpler form, the way I explain it is that when we have this unresolved trauma, the unresolved trauma creates inflammation. Well, inflammation is the response to trauma. So it's the genius.

I can hear somebody's got their mic on. So. So anyway, so the genes are affected by that. So inflammation genes go up, some of the other genes go down. The purpose of that is to address the stress. Your system's not doing it because it's trying to mess you up. It's turning up the inflammation genes to deal with the trauma. But it's supposed to be a temporary situation so that when the trauma is resolved or the stress is resolved, it goes back into regulation. But now that you've gone through the tip program, you realize that isn't what happens, because what happens with trauma, it keeps running, right? The memory of the trauma keeps the inflammation active. That's why my daughter's crohn's state active was because the memory of what happened to her as a child was running in the background. So if that changes, your immune system is going to go down, your neurotransmitters are going to go down, you're going to feel bad, you're going to get sicker. Even neuroplasticity changes. So when we did the study, when we did the brain mapping, we showed that we could actually change the methylation in the gene that deals with neuroplasticity. That was the one gene that got measured. So when we resolve the trauma, what happens? The gene changes, the expression of the gene. And so we got an average of almost a 46% change in the neuroplasticity. So I'm going to show you a couple of different. I'm going to have to go into sharing the screen. I'm going to show you a couple of different little.

Videos.

Let me. I got to close a lot of this stuff out. Sorry.

This is the neuroplasticity one.

Hey, doc, you want to double click on the title? Not there. Y Y. Sorry.

Here we go. And then we're going to go to this. There we go. All right. So let's just watch this.

Science is yet to determine the limits.

Of the brain's abilities.

Some believe we may never fully understand them at all. However, science does support the existence of one of the most important processes. Neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity refers to your brain's ability to restructure or rewire itself when it recognizes the need for adaption. In other words, it can continue developing and changing throughout life. For example, we now know that after a car accident and experiencing a brain trauma that affects your ability to speak, you, haven't necessarily lost this ability permanently. Therapy and rehabilitation can help your brain relearn this ability by repairing old pathways or creating new ones. Neuroplasticity also seems to have promise as a driver of potential treatment for certain mental health conditions. The negative thought patterns that occur could be the result from interpreted or impaired neuroplasticity processes. Exercises that promote positive neuroplasticity what you're.

Addicted to is feeling good, and you're producing that on your own. It's your own brain that's producing that. So I'm a big believer in all the different ways that you can sort of hack your own brain, figure out how to hack your own brain, all naturally if you can. And the more things that you learn about how the brain works, the better. So let me give you another.

Interesting point. There's a part. There's a. A piece of your brain called the anterior cingulate cortex, and it's in the frontal area, frontal part of the brain. What they have now, what neuroscience is now learning about that part of the brain. It's basically the part of your brain that that sort of pushes you to get stuff done. It sort of gets you moving. So the anterior cingulate cortex is very, very powerful in terms of if you go out of your way to do something, it rewards you. That's part of what it does. It works on a number of different things. But here's the other thing that they have found in the research now, which is really fascinating. If you go out of your way to do something you don't want to do. Now, that's different, right? This is different than going out to do something. It rewards you. That's part of what it does. It works on a number of your way to do things you want to do. This is going out of your way to do things that you don't want to do but are good for you, but you push yourself to go and do it. There's the discipline again. If you have the ability to do that, the anterior cingulate cortex grows, gets bigger and stronger. Now, how interesting is that? This is something they're really just learning a neuroscience. So the people that can go and do things that they're going, I just going in the cold plunge, right? I don't want to go in a cold plunge, right? But if you go in the cold plunge, even though you don't want to do it, you're strengthening that part of the brain. And they now show physically, it grows and gets bigger and stronger, just like a muscle. So it doesn't necessarily do it. If you go and do something that you want to do, it just sort of does its process. But if you push it and go out of your way, that part of your brain becomes stronger. So it's a really powerful thing. And it's good to know that. So when you say to yourself, oh, I just. I'll use a cold plunge as an example, I just don't want to get in that thing. That's a. I'm going to avoid that. You're not going to grow that part of your brain, but if you go in it, even though it's sort of counterintuitive to what you're thinking you should be doing, you're actually strengthening that part of the brain which is really powerful. We have the ability to do all of these kinds of things. So whatever you go out of your way to do, you even make it stronger. So that's why the fitness series audios are really good. If you're listening to those and you're walking and listening to those, we've got the different areas, the resiliency, all of those things. We're going to be producing even more audios for you to sort of have in your. In your toolbox. And it's all going to be focused on all of this brain development. And so we're going to keep developing more and more audios for you to keep training your brain. The more you train your brain, the better it's going to be for you. And we can do it all naturally. So what happens if we have a lot of stress? Right? If we have a lot of stress, what's actually going to happen to the brain? Well, the brain doesn't like stress, so trauma is also stress. It'll affect the body. So there was a story, I was just watching the other day, of a woman who lost her voice. She was actually a professional singer, and seven years after a physical assault, a sexual assault that she had, she lost her voice. She had no idea. She just couldn't sing. Absolutely. It shut down the system and. And it took her years to figure out that was the connection. Once she got the trauma resolved, she got her voice back. So if you remember, if you came in and went through our system, we actually did voice recognition with you guys. If you remember taking your voice and listening to how your voice is actually.

Expressing, you'll see it in your voice. Your voice will show up. Right. If there's something wrong and you can hear it. So we have those audios as well that can also address any of those underlying issues that you may need to be working on. Because current stress. The good part about what. What you've done with TIP is we've got that old stuff out of the way, but new stuff can start showing up. And if it does, you've got all these tools. I want you to keep understanding how powerful these tools are. Right. Don't think that TIP was. Yeah, it was great. And I feel better, yes. But you can still continue to grow and keep using these tools, and we're going to keep adding more and more tools for you. But stress will affect the body as well, affect the gut. I'll give you a story that I think is really interesting, that you may find interesting. Everybody knows the story that I was adopted. So when I was a baby, I was adopted. I always knew I was adopted. What I didn't understand till much later is my birth certificate was dated two years after I was born. I just never asked the question. I never really realized what it was. What actually happened was when I was little, even though I've been very, very healthy all my life, when I was very young, I used to have very, very severe stomach pains, like, really bad. And I remember lying on the couch one day and all these women are trying to comfort me, and my stomach pain was really bad, but I was very little. But I. I remember this particular event. The reason I'm telling you that is because that's going to correlate to another story I want to share with you. But I remember. So Dr. Rolley, who we believe is probably my. Either my grandfather, whatever, they sent me to a number of different specialists, and they all came back with the same recommendation. It's his appendix. Take his appendix out. And Dr. Rowley said, no, we're not taking his appendix out. This is a child. It's not an appendix issue. He was very natural. So even though he was an md, I was on cod liver oil, castor oil, I mean, all those kinds of things, all natural supplements. But I was having the stomach pains. What he. And this is where I think my life changed. What he told my parents, which I didn't know, is that apparently my parents, during those two years before my birth certificate was actually issued, got into a legal battle. Somebody was trying to fight my parents to get me back. And they did. Out. And Dr. Rolley said, no, we're not taking this appendix out. This is a child. It's not an appendix issue. He was very natural. So even though he was an md, I was on cod liver oil, castor oil, I mean, all those kinds of things, all natural supplements. But I was having the stomach pains, didn't have a lot of money. So they must have been totally stressed out during those early years of my life. What Dr. Rolley told them, this is a story that my mom told me. What Dr. Rolley told them is take the stress out of the home. That's where his stomach pains are coming from. He's feeling your what he. And this is where I think my life changed. What he told my parents, which I didn't know, is that apparently my parents, during those two years before my birth certificate was actually issued, got into a legal battle. Somebody was trying to fight my parents to get me back, and they did. Stress. Was I stressed? No, not at all. I'm a. I'm a child. I'm three or four years of age. So I'm not understanding financial stress that they're under. But I could feel their pain, their stress that was affecting me. That's why I think my life changed so dramatically. My parents took out every stress like there was, didn't have a lot of money. So they must have been totally stressed out during those early years of my life. What Dr. Roli told him, this is a story that my mom told me. What Dr. Rolley told him is take the stress out of the home. That's where his stomach pains are coming from. He's feeling your zero stress. In my home from that point on, I never had a stomach problem again. It totally went away. And I believe that that was coming. And that's why my parents did that, was because they were told that it was a stress. So I just wrote my next book called Don't Mess with my DNA, which is really for parents to talk about how not only is stress affecting the physical symptoms, but it's also affecting the DNA or stress. Was I stressed? No, not at all. I'm a child, I'm three or four years of age, so I'm not understanding financial stress that they're under. But I could feel their pain, their stress that was affecting me. That's why I think my life changed. But that. The reason I share that story was it was. It's very powerful to understand how stress, even if it's not your stress, is affecting the people around you. So use these tools, keep using these tools, right? To get your system to be able to adjust so dramatically. My parents took out every stress like there was. Stress is going to show up here and there. It's how you handle it. And you've got all the tools now to learn how to handle current stress. Right. And get it at zero stress in my home from that point on, I never had a stomach problem again. It totally went away. And I believe that that was coming. That's why my parents did that, was because they were told that it was a stout. It's not going to be affecting your system. So.

And trauma obviously creates stress. So the TIP program addresses the trauma. There's a Very famous doctor. His name was Dr. Hammer and he was from Germany. And stress. So I just wrote my next book called Don't Mess with my DNA which is really for parents to talk about how not only is stress affecting the physical symptoms, but it's also affecting the DNA and world world famous on helping people with cancer. And. But that the reason I share that story was it was. It's very powerful to under. But they basically shut him down because he was so controversial and the things that he was doing. But he said he developed testicular cancer after his son died and he connected that testicular cancer to the trauma of his son dying. And that's how he developed his whole cancer protocol. Understand how stress, even if it's not your stress. And he did some amazing stuff but they didn't like it. So it's affecting the people around you. So use these tools, keep using these tools, right? To get your system to be able to adjust. Stress is going to show up here and there. It's how you handle it. And German government really went after him and shut him down. He moved, he went to I think France or somewhere when they still went after him and, and jailed him because he was doing things that they didn't like all natural to fix things. So I mean you can look it up. Dr. Hammer from Germany is fascinating information. You've got all the tools now to learn how to handle current stress. Right. And get it out. It's not going to be affecting your system. So.

And trauma obviously creates stress. So the TIP program addresses the trauma. There's a, a very famous doctor, isn't it? So.

The other thing like I just talked about with the book that I was talking about with.

The DNA, what we now know is that when we have unresolved trauma, it actually affects the way the DNA is read and transcribed. And what I mean by that is certain name was Dr. Hammer and he was from Germany and world, world famous on helping people with cancer. And. But they basically shut him down because he was so controversial and the things that he was doing. But he said he developed testicular cancer after his son died. Genetics. Certain genes in your system are affected by trauma. And how that works is you have genes that light. And he connected that testicular cancer to the trauma of his son dying. And that's how he developed his whole cancer protocol. And he did some amazing stuff but they didn't like it. So the German government really went after him and shut him down. He moved, he went to work on inflammation. Genes that work on neurotransmitters there's all kinds of different genes in your system. What I have discovered through the research that I've been doing is I think in France or somewhere, but they still went after them and jailed him because he was doing things that they didn't like. All natural to fix things is that the genes that work on your immune system are actually turned down. The genes that work on neuroplasticity are turned down. The neurotransmitter genes are turned down, inflammation genes turn up. So there's all as the way it. The genes are expressing themselves. And in, in a simpler form, the way I explain it is that when we have this unresolved trauma, the unresolved trauma creates inflammation. Well, inflammation is the response to trauma. So it's the gen yesterday I was working on. Oh, I can hear, somebody's got their mic on. So, so anyway, so the genes are affected by that. So inflammation genes go up, some of the other genes go down. The purpose of that is to address the stress. Your system's not doing it because it's trying to mess you up. It's so, I mean, you can look it up. Dr. Hammer from Germany is fascinating information. So.

The other thing like I just talked about with the book that I was talking about with.

The DNA, what we now know is that when we have unresolved trauma, it actually affects the way the DNA is read and transcribed. And what I mean by that is certain.

Genetics, certain genes in your system are affected by trauma. And how that works is you have genes that work on inflammation, genes that work on neurotransmitters. There's all kinds of different genes in your system. What I have discovered through the research that I've been doing is that the genes that work on your immune system are actually turned down. The genes that work on neuroplasticity are turned down, the neurotransmitter genes are turned down, inflammation genes turn up. So there's all. It's the way it's. The genes are expressing themselves. And in, in a simpler form, the way I explain it is that when we have this unresolved trauma, the unresolved trauma creates inflammation. Well, inflammation is the response to trauma turning up the inflammation genes to deal with the trauma. But it's supposed to be a temporary situation so that when the trauma is resolved or the stress is resolved, it goes back into regulation. But now that you've gone through the tip program, you realize that isn't what happens because what happens? So it's yesterday I was working on. Oh, I can hear Somebody who's got their mic on. So, so anyway, so the genes are affected by that. So inflammation genes go up, some of the other genes go down. The purpose of that is to address the spins with trauma. It keeps running, right? The memory of the trauma keeps the inflammation active. That's why my daughter's Chris, your system's not doing it because it's trying to mess you up. It's turning up the inflammation genes to deal with the trauma. But it's supposed to be a temporary situation so that when the trauma is prone state active was because the memory of what happened to her is resolved or the stress is resolved, it goes back into regulation. The child was running in the background. So if that changes, your immune system is going to go down, your neurotransmitters are going to go. But now that you've gone through the tip program, you realize that isn't what happens because what happens with trauma, it keeps running, right? The memory of down, you're going to feel bad, you're going to get sicker. Even neuroplasticity, the trauma keeps the inflammation active. That's why my daughter's crohn's state active was because the memory of what happened to her as it changes. So when we did the study, when we did the brain mapping, we showed that we could actually change the methylation in the child was running in the background. So if that changes, your immune system is going to go down, your neurotransmitters are going to go down, you're going to feel bad, you're going to get sicker, even neuroplasticity, the gene that deals with neuroplasticity, that was the one gene that got measured. So when we resolve the trauma, what happens? The gene changes. So when we did the study, when we did the brain mapping, we changes the expression of the gene and so we got an showed that we could actually change the methylation in the gene that deals with neuroplasticity. That was the one gene that got measured average of almost a 46% change in the neuroplasticity. So when we resolve the trauma, what happens? The gene changes the expression of the gene. And so we got an acid. So I'm going to show you a couple of different I'm going to have to go into sharing the screen. I'm going to show you a couple of different little.

Of almost a 46% change in the neuroplasticity. So I'm going to show you a couple of different I'm going to videos.

Have to go into sharing the screen, I'm going to show you a couple of different little videos.

Let me. I got to close a lot of this stuff out. Sorry.

Let me. I got close a lot of this stuff out. Sorry.

This is the neuroplasticity one.

Hey, doc, you want to double click on the title? Not there. Yep, yep, sorry.

Here we go. And then we're going to go to this. There we go. All right. So let's just watch this.

Science is yet to determine the limits of the brain's abilities.

Some believe we may never fully understand them at all. However, science does support the existence of one of the most important processes. Neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity refers to your brain's ability to restructure or rewire itself when it recognizes the need for adaption. In other words, it can continue developing and changing throughout life. For example, we now know that after car accident and experiencing a brain trauma that affects your ability to speak, you haven't necessarily lost this ability permanently. Therapy and rehabilitation can help your brain relearn this ability by repairing old pathways for creating new ones. Neuroplasticity also seems to have promise as a driver of potential treatment for certain mental health conditions. The negative thought patterns that occur could be the result from interpreted or impaired neuroplasticity processes. Exercises that promote positive neuroplasticity then may help rewrite these patterns to improve. Well, being. Rewiring your brain might sound complicated, but it's absolutely something you can do. Have you ever considered studying another language? Maybe you thought a second or a third language might boost your career opportunities, or you wanted to pick it up just for the fun of it. In either case, you'd be doing your brain a big favor. There's plenty of evidence to suggest that acquiring a new language improves cognitive function. And there it is.

So what we found is that when we got trauma out, neuroplasticity went up by 46% on average. So neuroplasticity is a particular gene. And the gene. The gene that we identified is bdnf. And what BDNF stands for is brain derived neurotropic factor. That's the ability of the brain when that. It's a protein that that gene processes. When we're in a stressed mode, it doesn't process that protein. So we get stuck in the neuroplasticity stage. We're at. We're not growing because the system is shutting down to allow resources to go to the threat. When the threat is taken out now the brain has the Ability to start growing and start learning. So everybody knows my wife's story. She dealt with a very traumatic childhood. She always felt like she wasn't smart. She's brilliant, but she never felt smart. So she always sort of struggled with school. And she said, you know, I could read a page in a book and then have to reread the page all over again because I couldn't remember what I read after going through this program and going through and getting the trauma resolved. Like I said, she's my best researcher. She's amazing what she can remember now. And she'll say, know that article I sent you, you know, a month ago, Right? Have you read that article? And I'll go, yeah, I read. And she go, do you remember reading this? And I'm like, I don't remember reading that, but she'll remember it. So she's really incredible on how that changed. And that was all natural. She always had that ability. It's the same thing I talk about when I work with the athletes, that when we have this trauma, it affects the mitochondria, the energy in your cells. So because what is the energy going to. To the threat? So now we have extra energy going to a threat that doesn't exist. It's pulling energy unnecessarily. So when I work with the athletes, the reason they perform better is because we move that energy away from the threat and now it becomes available for performance. Performance. And that's why this whole program is built on performance. Every one of you have another gear. The question is what? How far can you take that gear? How far can you take that performance? And you can now you have all the tools and we're just going to keep giving you the tools. But the, the BDNF gene, where is the actual gene that deals with neuroplasticity? There's a number of different genes, but that's one of the ones that we worked on in the brain mapping and we saw the changes we're also going to work on in this study, the neurotransmitter genes. We're going to be also working on the immune system, all of the different genes that are affected by trauma. And we're actually going to publish the study. So we just did. The very first person who went through the program, we did a pretty DNA test on him and then we're going to do a post DNA test after he finishes the 30 days of audios and he'll be one of the study members. But then we're going to show how much of The DNA changed after going through the program. So it's pretty, it's pretty exciting. Just did the very first person who went through the program, we did a pretty DNA test on them. And then we're going to do a post DNA test after he finishes the 30 days of audios and he'll be one of the study members. But then we're going to show how much of the DNA changed after going. So.

The other thing that I, there was an article again, this is what Bridget, my wife just sent me, which is another fascinating article through the program. So it's pretty, it's pretty exciting.

So.

The other thing that I, there was an article again, this is what Bridget, my wife just sent me, which is another fascinating article is 70 years ago there were two dermatologists that said that studied the gut and talked about acne and how acne. Right. They believed was coming from stress and it was coming from, you know, the gut being out of balance. Well, why does the gut get out of balance? Because stress puts the gut out of balance. And so when we don't have the, the correct nutrients and, and ability to balance our gut, it's going to affect our brain. So they sort of focused more on the gut, not really connecting what we do, which is the brain. So if the brain is out of balance, the gut will be out of balance. But they, it was actually pretty fascinating. So the study was that this is 70 years ago, they connected up the gut being out of balance with the acne. And so that was bacteria that was. So the system wasn't operating at maximum efficiency. One of the things that we see a lot in people who have trauma is eczema. They'll come in and they'll have eczema. So what happens if you have eczema? You're going to go into your doctor, they're going to treat the eczema. But in actual fact, it's the eczema is coming from the trauma. So it's just an interesting way. But this article that she just sent me was actually the reason I'm bringing it up is she just sent it to me this week is that was 70 years ago. Those doctors wrote the study on it. And yet what had they done in the 70 years? They still didn't connect it right to this trauma. And that's where it's really coming in from. But phenomenal. Interesting.

So have you ever heard of the happiest man on earth? Has anybody ever heard about this person?

His name is Matthew Ricard and he's a Tibetan monk. So how do they know he's the happiest man on earth? They did a. I'm gonna, I'll pull this up again too. I'll share the screen.

So you can get a picture of him. You can see who he is.

This is going to be a.

I think this is.

There he is happiest man on earth this time. He was 69. This when I, I did this presentation. But he said Benton Monk, originally from France, he did. They. He was involved in a 12 year brain study on meditation and compassion led by a neuroscientist from Wisconsin, Richard Davidson. What they discovered is he had the capacity to meditate and go into that alpha beta brainwave state. And he could do it at such a level that when they measured the activity in his brain, it was off the charts. It was incredible how calm he could stay and how he could do this. And a lot of the monks were able to do that. So that's the meditation, the ability to focus so that all the audios that you're listening to are doing this to train your brain as well. So he also.

What I like the way he described meditation is like exercise for the mind. It's similar to weightlifting. So when you're listening to the audios and you're doing this mind training, it's the same thing as you would be doing if you were training your body physically. So the thing that he said that was the key is when he meditated, what he focused on was two things. Gratitude for everything he had and also altruism, how to help other people. He thought about other people and compassion for other people. And that's when they said so that compassion meditation made that brainwave activity go off the chart thinking about other people. So there's all kinds of studies to sort of back this up. But what was fascinating is to see that when we focus right on what we have, we change chemically our brain. And what do we tend to do when we have trauma and unresolved trauma? We focus on what's wrong and then we get sicker and we're, we're not able to heal ourselves at the same capacity. So that's really. I, I just wanted to share that because I thought it was interesting.

To see a real live person who does this right. And, and how it changed their brain. And so the same thing for you guys is all the different things that you now have in your toolbox that you can use to sort of help yourself.

So before we finish and wrap up, I just want to check, does anybody have a question That I can answer for them before. Before we. We're done. If you do just. Maya, I think we'll be able to tell us if somebody's got a question.

Lauren was saying, where is this Vegas nerve video?

I missed that one. Oh, okay. I can.

I can pull it up. I'm just trying to think where it is in the.

I don't know if you remember.

Brandon just said, happy leap day.

Let me just pull up the vagus nerve video.

Come on.

I can send an email in too.

To have a. I've got it right here. This will explain the vagus nerve here. So we'll just watch this real quick.

Our minds process incoming information through our senses. One of two things will happen in milliseconds. This information will be seen as safe or as a threat. This is accomplished through our autonomic nervous system which will engage the vagus nerve. The cranial nerve stretches from the brain stem down to the stomach. This is helpful in understanding the mind body connection. The vagus nerve has two response pathways, the dorsal pathway and the ventral pathway.

Let me just pull up the vagus nerve video.

The dorsal pathway responds to incoming information interpreted as a threat. It may prompt a fight or flight response, the sympathetic response, or a freeze response. Consistent activation of the dorsal pathway will cause inflammation, which is the body's response to trauma and threats. Inflammation compromises the immune system and neurotransmitters by activating a cell danger response that affects physical and mental health. Now, the ventral pathway responds to incoming information, interprets it as safe and supports feeling.

Come on.

I can send an email in too.

To have a. I've got it right here. This will explain the vagus nerve here. So we'll just watch this real quick.

Our minds process incoming information through our senses. One of two things of calm and relaxed.

If a current situation is perceived as a threat, it makes sense for our autonomic nervous system to respond. However, here's the potential glitch. When our minds have a thought or perhaps something looks similar to a traumatic experience, the mind accesses memory. The memory information is viewed in real time and will activate the vagus nerve response, even though it's just information. That's because traumatic or disturbing events in our life are stored in high resolution.

Our minds record this information in memory and stores it in high resolution files. Big things will happen in milliseconds. This information will be seen as safe or as a threat. This is accomplished through our autonomic nervous system which will engage the vagus nerve. The cranial nerve stretches from the Brain stem down to the stomach. This is helpful in understanding the mind body connection.

Because all our senses are heightened during the event. If this information stored in memory is consistently activating our fight or flight response, then it becomes difficult to learn, communicate, focus and perform. Does that sound familiar?

The Inspire Performance Institute has a solution. Vagus nerve has two response pathways. The dorsal pathway and the ventral pathway. The dorsal pathway responds to incoming information interpreted as a threat. Our program TIP will help you reprocess the high resolution information stored in memory into a simpler low resolution file. And this information will no longer activate the dorsal vagal pathway response. As you continue to use the new tools provided through tip. The ventral it may prompt a fight or flight response, the sympathetic response or a freeze response. Consistent activation of the dorsal pathway of the vagus nerve is stimulated. Signals are sent to our nervous system telling it to relax. With relaxation, all brain and body functions improve. The 28 days of TIP audios help to form new neural pathways through repeated activities.

Through this brain stimulation, we exercise Neurons involved in our ventral vagal and sensory pathway will cause inflammation, which is the body's response to trauma and threats. Inflammation compromises the immune system and neural networks. They become more active and recruit other neurons. Over time we are creating new habits of brain activity. Health and performance improve. And there it is. Transmitters. By activating a cell danger response that affects physical and mental health. Now the ventral path.

So the reason why that is so powerful is just what I was talking about. The gene that after going through the TIP program, the BDNF gene that deals.

With neuroplasticity, responds to incoming information, interprets it as safe and supports feelings of calm and relaxed.

If a current situation is perceived as a threat, it makes sense for our autonomic nervous system to respond. However, here's the potential glitch. When our minds have a thought or perhaps something looks similar to a traumatic experience, the mind accesses memory. The memory information is viewed in real time and will activate.

The vagus nerve response is involved in exactly that. So now you have even though it's.

Just information that's because traumatic or disturbing.

The capacity to have what Basically it increases neurogenesis, which is the ability of the brain to continue to grow, grow and learn and expand. And so which is its survival. So it starts changing.

Events in our life are stored in high resolution.

Our and you have more capacity. So there's all kinds of evidence of of the importance of the BDNF gene. What's amazing, minds record this information in.

Memory and stores it in high Resolution vials because all our senses are heightened during the event. If this information stored in memory is consistently activating our fight orf flight response.

Then it becomes difficult is when I started studying it, they really couldn't tell you what changed it. But now we do know that it's coming from, in most cases, trauma or stress. And that's where it's going to come from. So the more you can do it, right, the more you can keep practicing the things that you've learned, the more you can keep using the tools you're going to increase here. But you've got everything that you need, right? You've got a gym inside your brain.

To learn, communicate, focus and perform.

Does that sound just go to the gym every day, right? Use the gym, use the weights, use the tools, right? And there's lots of ways to also increase the bdnf, that protein as well. Omega fatty acids. Remember I told you Dr. Rolly had me on castor oil, cod liver oil. All of those fatty acids are all green tea has it familiar.

The Inspire Performance Institute has a solution tip. Our program TIP will help you reprocess.

The high red grapes habit. Blueberries.

Coffee, greeny green, leafy vegetables. All of those things will increase BDNF and especially when you have, you know, the system cleared. So any other. I don't want to keep anybody much longer because I know we're trying to keep it to the hour. Anybody else? Yes, Ashley.

Hi. Yeah, so you brought up some good points today. And something that I didn't even really remember from our session was when you brought up today about banking successes. And I guess because it was, you know, such a long day, you know, when we have our appointment and there's just so much information coming in, resolution.

Information stored in memory into a simpler, low resolution file. And this information will no longer activate the dorsal vagal pathway response. As you continue to use the new tools provided through tip, the ventral pathway of the vagus nerve is stimulated. Signals are sent to our nervous system.

And so I guess what I was wondering is. And then this Vegas nerve video, like, obviously we've all seen it when we did our session, but I think it's good to like revert back to things like that. So I was wondering if there's any way we could see like some of these resources again in some way. Like, I don't know if it's like access to telling it to relax.

With relaxation, all brain and body functions.

Improve on like some online videos. Kind of just to reiterate some of the Stuff in our minds. Because I totally didn't even, like, remember the banking piece at all.

No, great point. And this is why we're excited about doing the webinars, because this stuff would never have come up.

The 28 days of tip audios help to form new neural pathways, right?

Because we're busy and we keep moving on, and we don't want to. We want to keep you guys through repeated activities.

Through this brain stimulation, we exercise neurons involved in our ventral vagal and sensory supported.

So we. We've talked about, maybe even like some of those little animation videos are sort of good just to remind you, maybe we'll just keep those up on the site so you can always refer back to them and see them. So maybe we'll do that as well. So we just want to keep the resources out there for you. But the banking one is really powerful because I do it consistently all the time. And the reason I use golf is because it's an easy example, right? Because I love sports. So every time I have a great shot, I bang it. And so. And that's actually how I came up with the networks.

They become more active and recruit other neurons.

The idea to do banking was because. And I. And I tell this story.

I remember over time, we are creating new habits of brain activity.

We're listening. When I was really developing the program, I heard Jack Nicklaus being interviewed. And he goes, in the 1963 U.S. open at Oakmont, on the 17th hole, I hit a three iron to within four feet.

Health and performance improve. And there it is.

So the, the reason. And in my mind, I'm thinking, that guy's remembering shots from 50 years ago. He banked it. It's now in his memory bank. And what does he do when he sees another shot that looks like that? His system goes to that banked memory and uses it as the resource on how to use the muscle memory to repeat what he just did. So that's why. Why that is so powerful. It's just what I was talking about. The gene that, after going through the TIP program, the BDNF gene that deals with neuroplasticity banking. So good. Keep banking all your successes, right? And how you do that is involved in exactly that. So now you have the capacity to have what? Basically, it increases neurogenesis. That is just close your eyes, symbol, statement, anchor, recall what you just did, and say bank it. And now it just becomes another resource for you.

But we'll, We'll. We'll talk about those things, about getting those things up there. As well. Ashley. So good point. Yeah.

I have another kind of quick question if you don't mind.

Yep.

So I am the type of person, I think my subconscious which is the.

Ability of the brain to continue to.

Grow, grow and conscious sees physical exercise as a threat. I used to be really fit, really active and over the years the anxiety really took over all that and it's really challenging to me even into like to this day, even after our session I feel, I feel like physical tension.

Learn and expand and so which is its survival. So it starts changing that and you have more capacity. So there's all kinds of evidence of, of the importance of the BDNF gene.

What's amazing coming on after I do just a little bit of exercise. And so I was wondering for if you have any kind of tips for like in the moment is it, you know, use my simple statement anchor like the moment I feel the tension or just like how do I get that my mind to really understand that this is really good for me. It's not, not unsafe because that's what I struggle with a lot.

Yeah. So that's really good question. So what is happening is when you're feeling the threat, what is your brain doing going into high beta? So how do you stop it from going is when I started studying it, they really couldn't tell you what changed it. But into high beta, your symbol, statement and anchor calms it down. So you should be. Now we do know that it's coming from in most cases trauma or stress and that's where it's going to come from. So the more you can do it right, the more you using those tools to get yourself into the position where your mind then will keep practicing the things that you've learned, the more you can keep using the tools, you're going to increase make the change. But you, so you have to sort of calm it down because the reason it doesn't want to do it is because it's, it's trying to protect you. But it's a, it's a error message. So you really don't need this protection. That's how you can do it.

Also another really this is a tool that I use with the golfers because the golfers are out there for four, four and a half hours, right. It's easy for their mind to want you but you've got everything that you need, right. You've got a gym in inside your brain under to be able to say keep your mind in alpha brainwave state for four and a half hours, right. Just go to the gym every day, right? Use the gym, use the weights, use the tools, right. And there's lots of ways to also increase the BDNF is not easy to do for anybody. So this is a tool and, and you guys can practice this one as well. I want you to write down three positive three that protein as well, omega fatty acids. Remember I told you Dr. Roli, things that are going on in your life, three things that are either happening now or that you're looking forward to going to happen. So maybe you're, you're going to be going on a vacation, right? Or you're going to be doing something exciting. You're going to a concert, whatever it is. I want you to have those three things. So I'll give you the example of how you use it with the golfer. He writes down his three positive things. He's looking forward to add me on castor oil, cod liver oil, all of those fatty acids are all green tea has it when he's walking if he finds his mind moving into a negative red grapes habit. Blueberries.

Coffee, greeny green space thinking about something that's not conducive to playing good golf. I say I want you to switch gears and here's how we switch gears. I want you to leafy vegetables. All of those things will increase BDNF and especially when you have, you know, the system cleared. So any other close your eyes because as soon as you close your eyes, if you in a high beta state when you close your eyes, you drop down the brainwave activity so the brain will move into acquired because you don't have as much stimulus coming in. So close your eyes. Right? I says and then what we're doing is now we're moving into neutral. We're coming out of the high higher gear, going into neutral. When we close our eyes, I want you to think about one of those. I want to keep anybody much longer because I know we're trying to keep it to the hour. Anybody else? Yes, Ashley, Those positive things you can think about one, two or three of them, right? So say it was a vacation. I want you in as much detail as you can envision. What.

Hi. Yeah, so you brought up some good.

What you're going to be doing on this holiday, the hotel, you're going to be in the places points today.

And something that I didn't even really remember from our session was when you brought up today about banking successes and I guess because it was you're going.

To visit the things that you're going to Be doing all the great parts about this vacation and you don't have to do it for a long period of time, but just enough to sort of get the feeling of oh, I'm so excited. I feel good as I'm thinking about that. Then open up your eyes and look at the first thing you see and describe it. So if I opened up my eyes, I'd say I see my computer, right. And I describe it.

You know, such a long day, you know, when we have our appointment and there's just so much information coming in.

MacBook Pro. So here's what that exercise does it. When a high beta thought comes in, when you close your eyes, you move into neutral.

And so I guess what I was wondering is and then this Vegas Nerve video, like obviously we've all.

Now you move it into an alpha brainwave state when you start thinking about this.

Seen it when we did our session. But I think it's good to like revert back to things like that.

So I was wondering if positive thing in your life, then when you open up your eyes, you come back into the present.

There's any way we could see like.

Some of these resources and you see the first thing. But what's the brain wave state you're in? Right. You can do that when you want to start to do the exercising. Right. And then every time a thought comes in about oh, I'm getting stressed out about this exercising, go back to it again. Use your symbol, statement and anchor as well make sense. And then you'll. You'll train it right out. So it's not. You're not going to have to do it forever because you will train your brain out of that. The brain will make changes or reasons.

Versus again in some way. Like I don't know if it's like.

Access to not changing yet is it hasn't been convinced that you want to.

Make the change on like some online videos that kind of just to reiterate some of the stuff in our minds. Because I totally didn't even like remember the banking piece at all.

Remember what I said. Repetition is like research. The more you. No great point. And this is why we're excited about doing the webinars because this stuff would never have come up. You repeat it. The more evidence your brain says, you know, I think Ashley really does want to do this. Let's do it for her. Let's get it done. Right. But up till now maybe thinking like, you know, she hasn't convinced us that she wants to do this. So there's the, the Research and repetition.

Thank you.

Okay. Very cool.

Yeah. Accessing the tip app. So any other up? Right. Because we're busy and we keep moving on and we don't want to. We want to keep you guys. John, did you want to say something?

The trick to reiterate this stuff again and again that I've used being a natural born fanatic. Sorry.

Support it. So we've talked about maybe even like some of those little animation videos are sort of good just to remind you. Maybe we'll just keep those up on the site so you can always refer back to them and see them. So maybe we'll do that as well.

Which is how I got to be an entrepreneur is just to go back to the application itself in Kajabi and thank God, now I have a use for Kajabi and just kind of walk through those literally rather than figuratively with headphones on. And it kind of reinforces each and every episode. And it's okay to go back and do it again.

Yep. So we just want to keep the resources out there for you. But the banking one is really powerful. Yep. Just keep repeating it. Because the more you repeat it, it's just like any exercise. Right. The more you do something, the stronger it gets. And then you're training your brain because for you think about how many powerful. Because I do it consistently all the time. And the reason I use golf is because it's an easy example. Right. Because I love sports. So every time I have years, your brain has been doing things one way. Right. Because the trauma created a great shot. I bang it. And so. And that's actually how I came up with the. A pattern. And so now you have to break that pattern. The good news is it doesn't take as long to break the pattern as it did to create it. The brain will actually adapt very quickly, and especially when you get the trauma out of the way. That's why I started focusing on the BDNF gene about neuroplasticity. When that gene start idea to do banking was because. And I and I tell this story. I remember to come back into play. It gives you the ability to grow very quickly. That's why it's so important to get the trauma out. And that's why that gene will change the way it methylates and expresses itself.

But we're listening. When I was really developing the program, I heard Jack Nicklaus being interviewed. And he goes, in the 1963 U.S. open at Oakmont, on the 17th hole, I hit a three iron to within four feet. You have to do it.

What, what John just mentioned going into the Kajabi app and checking out what, what were you talking about looking at the, like the eight minute videos or were you talking about something different.

Like the audios? Or was it. Or, or did you do like the online program and you can see I.

Did the, I did the online program and then I.

And in my mind I'm thinking that guy's remembering shots from 50 years ago.

Followed up with the, oh, by the way, here's your library, which seems to be growing over time.

Oh, okay.

Want to be joyous? There's a joyous series. Want to be conscientious, you want to be intuitive. Each one of those. And that's been really fun. And finally I have another use for my headphones.

Oh, he banked it. It's now in his memory bank and.

Makes sense.

And we're going to keep growing it. What does he do when he sees another shot that looks like that? His system goes to that banked memory and uses it as the resource for you guys. So we just got to keep on, we're just going to keep on producing more and more content. Right? Let you guys continue to grow. And we love to hear, even in these, in these times, if you notice something has changed, positively come in and tell us or something. Just like you said there, Ashley, it's great insight. Maybe somebody else is dealing with the same thing. They can hear what you just said and go, oh, that was really good. I could really use that too.

And personally, I had no idea. One of the many reasons why people don't like to exercise becoming too attractive. Because I've been married, divorced, married and.

Widowed on how to use the muscle memory to repeat what he just did. So that's why banking's so good. Keep banking all your successes, right. And how you do that.

And all three of my wives have been chased around offices, have been propositioned by their bosses.

That is just close your eyes, symbol, statement, anchor, recall what you just did and say bank it. And now it just becomes another resource.

For you, which when you and I were younger people, was so typical that somebody had to show up with a baseball bat to go protect or whatever it is you used to use to go ahead and make sure that they realize that. No, that's actually spoken for a human being. But thanks very much for admiring her.

You know, it's amazing. It's one of the things that I really talk about a lot is, especially as us, as men, we truly don't understand what women have to deal with. On a day to day basis. It really is starting to come out more and more. Right. But you know, like I always talk about, I can walk outside my office at 10 o' clock at night, walk straight to my. But we'll, we'll talk about those things, about getting those things up there as well, Ashley. So. Good point. Yeah.

I have another kind of quick question, if you don't mind.

Yep.

Car. I don't have to think twice right now. That may not always be the safest thing, but I've never.

So I am the type of person, I think my subconscious sees physical exercise as a threat. I used to be really fit, really.

Active and had any experience with being hurt. So. But there's no woman that can do that. They have to check the environment, conscious.
