EFR 683: How to Cure Jet Lag, Reset Circadian Rhythm, and Reduce Inflammation While Flying with Andrew Herr
00:00:00
00:00:00
Flying is rough on the body – Andrew Herrr discovered why.
Flying causes an inflammatory response due to the change in air pressure that impairs how you think, feel and perform. Combine that with changing time zones, and your body is in rough shape. The further you fly, the more extreme the effects.
As a passenger going from Point A to Point B, there’s a lot that’s taking a toll on our bodies. Fatigue, sleep problems, lack of focus and mental clarity, mood changes, digestion issues… the list goes on! But did you know that you can biohack jet lag?
Andrew Herr explains the elements of his first-of-its-kind jet lag protocol, which Chase himself has experienced, to maintain and even optimize health and wellness while traveling.
Andrew Herr is the Founder & CEO of Fount, delivering the most comprehensive, customized, and concierge performance and wellness programs to the world’s top performers. Andrew ran human performance efforts for the US military, including the first-ever jet lag protocol, which inspired the creation of his health and performance coaching business. Beating jet lag isn’t just for top performers, though, you can do it, too.

Key Highlights
The first-ever protocol for jet lag requires optimizing your inflammatory environment and resetting your circadian rhythm in every part of your body so you can fully adjust to a new time zone.
What causes inflammation during travel and how does that harm the body?
How does travel disrupt the circadian rhythm and how can we avoid that?
Andrew tells us why the average person should care about optimizing their wellness during travel, not just high-performers like military personnel or athletes.
Chase shares his experience using Fount (+ some of his favorite travel hacks) while Andrew walks you through their protocol, which uses supplements, accessories, and AI to beat jet lag and maintain wellness while traveling.
How much does Fount cost? Is it worth the money?
Andrew says that if you stay ready, you don’t need to get ready. Tune in to hear how Andrew interprets that and how we can understand that through the lens of optimization.
Powerful Quotes by Andrew Herr
When we think about resetting or shifting your circadian rhythm, you really got to think about brain and body as one integrated system.
You never know when you’re going to need to be at your best and/or you’re going to want the resources to be able to perform through something really unexpected. And so, I love the ability to give people that.
You never know when you’re going to be at the bottom of the dip or at the top of the peak and you want to make sure that the lowest dip you have is good enough for when it matters.

Harvard Psychiatrist, Dr. Chris Palmer, shares his groundbreaking Brain Energy Theory of Mental Illness, helping us to understand the root cause of mental illness, the connection between mental and physical health, and how we can actually get better. Chris explains how mental illness is metabolic dysfunction in the brain and shines light on the current state of mental illness and mental healthcare in America.
Too many people are told they must sacrifice their physical health for mental stability. Take your pills, deal with the side effects, and hope your mental health improves. Obviously, there’s something wrong about this system. The standard of care in the mental health field needs drastic improvement and Dr. Chris Palmer is someone who’s taking huge strides to make that happen “because far too many people do not get better with our current approaches”.
Dr. Chris Palmer is an academic physician and psychiatric researcher at Harvard Medical School with a focus on helping people suffering from treatment-resistant mental illnesses, including mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and personality disorders. Chris is the author of Brain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health--and Improving Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, and More.

Key Highlights
How harmful is it to use the word “crazy” when talking about mental illness? How can we change our language to fight the stigmas around mental illness? “Sometimes using the words everyone’s thinking is the way to actually create change,” Chris says.
Chris emphasizes the difference between mental illness and brain disorders, and why it’s important for mental health professionals to distinguish those differences.
“Mental health and physical health are inseparable,” Chris says. Listen in as he illustrates the connection between mental disorders and physical/metabolic disorders, like obesity, diabetes, heart attacks, stroke, epilepsy, and more.
Where do we start in treating mental disorders? What area of health do we need to be focusing on? Metabolism! Tune in to learn the importance of metabolic health, mitochondrial health, and environmental health (food, water, shelter, light, human connection, and purpose) in treating mental disorders.
Poor metabolic or mental health can cause impaired brain function, motivation, muscle function, pain, and soreness. Chris believes that a different narrative, based on cell biology and scientific evidence, may help people with mental disorders recover better.
Chris explains his groundbreaking Brain Energy theory, highlighting the five broad consequences of metabolic or mitochondrial dysfunction (that have never been published anywhere else).
What does science say about the correlation between mental disorders and having purpose in life? Tune in to hear Chris’s fascinating answer!
Powerful Quotes by Dr. Chris Palmer
Mental disorders are increasing in prevalence and they are now the leading cause of disability in the United States and on the planet… and it’s not because people aren’t getting treatment, it’s because our treatments fail to work for far too many people.
These are medical problems with the brain and they deserve compassion and they deserve effective solutions.
Death is the absence of metabolism.
If the narrative is “I am a big, fat, lazy loser”, that person is going to live up to that narrative. We must change that narrative.
There’s a way out of the hell you’re in. There’s a way out.

Gloria Mark, PhD debunks popular myths about focus and attention span and reveals the science behind why multitasking is a lie. She talks about why mindless scrolling isn’t a total waste of time and why digital detoxes aren’t as impactful as we think. Plus, Gloria teaches you two ways to gain more agency over your attention.
How many tabs, browsers, and apps do you have open right now?
Do you ever notice how glued we are to our devices, yet it’s so hard to even focus on what’s on our screens? You’re not the only one… it has become a way of life for so many of us in the Digital Age. So, what do we do about it?
Gloria Mark is a psychologist and professor at UC Irvine who studies human-computer interaction (HCI), which essentially is our relationship to our devices. Gloria is also the author of “Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity”, which debunks popular myths about our attention and technology, then teaches you how to use your technologies and maintain a healthy psychological balance.

Key Highlights
Does multitasking actually help you get more done? Do some people really thrive when multitasking? Are women better multitaskers than men? To answer these questions, Gloria breaks down the concept of controlled information processing, which proves that multitasking is not as productive and beneficial as you think.
Gloria summarizes her research on human attention span and remote work. Then, she dissects the three pillars of focus and attention: the anatomy of attention, underlying forces of distraction, and focused rhythm and balance.
Are digital detoxes actually beneficial? Do digital detoxes increase our focus and attention span? Tune in to hear Gloria’s thoughts!
Meta awareness and self-regulation are tools you can use to stay conscious of your behaviors and achieve agency over your attention and focus.
Gloria debunks these four MYTHS about attention and technology:
Myth #1: We should always strive to be focused, and should feel guilty if we can’t.
Myth #2: Rote, mindless activity that we do on our computers and phones is wasteful of our time (think of Candy Crush).
Myth #3: Our distractions and inability to focus on our devices are due primarily to notifications overload and our own lack of discipline.
Myth #4: “Flow” is the ideal state we should strive for when we use our technologies.
Powerful Quotes by Gloria Mark
We found, in the last five years or so, that people’s average duration of attention was 47 seconds on any screen before switching… irrespective of whether you’re interrupted by something else or by your own volition.
A lot of people propose taking a digital detox and I want to point out that’s a temporary fix because the ship has sailed. We live in a world of technology and for any individual to pull out is very likely going to penalize that individual if you’re interconnected with other people in some way.
I’m always in favor of people self-experimenting and trying to understand their own patterns in behavior... Be your own scientist.
The only way to really stay young is to keep learning.

EFR 680: Why You Should Give a F*ck and the 5 Steps of Radical Emotional Acceptance with Dr. Alex Wills
00:00:00
00:00:00
Tired of battling your emotions? Learn to ride the waves! Dr. Alex Wills is here to shed light on the concept of radical emotional acceptance and why it’s actually important to give a f*ck. He offers expert insights on how to overcome the fear of confronting your emotions, feel grateful for life’s most painful challenges, and start building unbreakable emotional wellness.
According to Alex, f*ck refers to emotions, usually the painful, unpleasant, scary emotions we tend to suppress or resist. Not allowing these emotions to exist in times of fear, pain, and grief can impact your health and wellness in ways you’d never expect.
So, choose to be healthy, strong, and well this year. Learn to surf the waves of your emotions!
Dr. Alex Wills is a board-certified psychiatrist and the author of “Give a F*ck, Actually: Reclaim Yourself with the 5 Steps of Radical Emotional Acceptance”. Alex’s clinical days are spent using the Radical Emotional Acceptance method to help patients heal from issues ranging from past traumas to interpersonal struggles in their marriages. “Give a F*ck, Actually” is based on that experience.

Key Highlights
Chase and Alex share their candid thoughts on The Five Acceptances he details in his book, particularly “putting down the f*ck shield” and “listening to the f*ck”.
Alex’s approach to emotional wellness and wisdom is celebrating the painful emotions and understanding, how are these emotions trying to help me? That’s the golden question when exploring and accepting your emotions.
Chase cracks open the emotions of losing his father, highlighting the power of emotional awareness and learning how to surf the waves of your emotions.
What are the signs of emotional dysregulation? When is it time to get help processing my emotions? Tune in to hear Alex’s answers!
Alex explains the vital role of self-accountability in practicing radical emotional acceptance.
Alex shares about his personal challenge with mindfulness and the “invisible tattoo” he gives to every one of his patients to remind them to acknowledge the perfection of the present moment.
“One of the key things about therapy is it’s not really as much about what you’re thinking,” Alex says, “but it’s about your experience, it’s about your behavior, giving yourself, habitually, the experience of a different reality until you kind of rewire the way your brain works until it becomes automatic.”
Is there value in finding gratitude for your trauma and life challenges? Absolutely, but why? And how do we truly accept and feel grateful for the pain we experience? Listen in to hear Alex’s thoughts on this concept.
It’s okay to feel like shit and to feel like you’re drowning. The bright side is we get to give reason to it.
Powerful Quotes by Dr. Alex Wills
It doesn’t have to take hours or weeks. In a matter of seconds, we can possibly experience our emotions, reset, and then make the best decision and move forward.
In the example of sadness; someone’s trying to avoid sadness from something really sad that happened and what are they doing? They’re making themselves stuck in sadness because the more they try to keep that wave down, the more it tries to come back up and it could go on for the rest of their lives.
The flipside of every painful emotion is a desire. What desires do you have? What emotional needs do you have that are not being met? That’s how we start to tune into what I call the emotional compass.

Steven describes the meaning behind the main pillars of his businesses: Transparency, trust, product efficacy, and product quality. He also shares the specific practices that fuel joy and success in his work and personal life.
What are the best social media content strategies that support your vision and brand message? “All of the different social channels are tools for spreading your brand message, but really the people that are spreading that message are your customers,” Steven says. Tune in to hear more of his thoughts on how you can enable your customers to spread your message and vision.
Powerful Quotes by Steven Izen
In life, you’re going to constantly go through highs, go through lows, you’re never going to just stay straight in the middle and I think you just need to keep going and use your experiences to learn, get better, become a better person for yourself, for your family, for others.
The timeline in which you think you will start and end your company is the worst mindset you can have.
People tend to focus on the things that they’re really good at and shy away from the things that scare them, make them nervous, they’re not good at, and I think it’s facing those fears and working on those things and doing those things that you don’t want to do or put off that will make you a great entrepreneur.

Can a high quality of life be passed down to our children through epigenetics?
Mutual vulnerability is a source of strength. “If you tune into people when they’re challenged, when they’re experiencing those negative emotions, you’re going to learn something that’s pretty important to them,” Marc says. This is a plead to you to lean into your loved ones when they’re going through difficult emotions.
Powerful Quotes by Dr. Marc Schulz
The risk that people face when they are lonely is of the same magnitude, people face the same amount of risk, as folks who are smoking cigarettes or who are obese… That’s why we’re talking about it as a major public health challenge.
It’s never too late to change.
What’s most important is if my partner thinks I’m trying hard to understand what their experience is. I can be wrong. I may not guess the emotions perfectly, but if my partner has a sense that I’m leaning in, trying to understand her, that’s going to help us in our relationship.
The biggest surprise wasn’t so much that relationships are connected to psychological well-being. We kind of knew that… but what became surprising was the ways in which relationships get under our skin and affect our physical health.

Key Highlights
Experiencing trauma or a loss comes with an influx of energy. “If you’re not intentional about using that energy and using that circumstance to actually harness it and move it in a direction intentionally, you’re drifting,” Mike says. “You’re just being moved in a direction by another force other than your self-determinism. Being intentional keeps you out of evil, out of destruction, and into something that can build success.”
Mike and Chase talk about what it feels like to “wake up”, recognize your traumas, and start working to reach your potential.
Mike tells the story of how a $100 bill being thrown at him became a defining moment in his life. He speaks on the impact of having divorced parents, enduring family conflict and abuse, and how he turned that $100 bill into millions.
What is the root cause of being a high-achiever? Can we only tap into our limitless potential through a source of pain? Why can some people use pain to their advantage while others stay stuck in it? Listen in to hear Mike’s candid thoughts!
Mike speaks on how to build the habits needed to live the life of your dreams, even when people don’t agree with you or support you along the way.

Powerful Quotes by Mike “C-Roc” Ciorrocco
If you have a mission in life, you take everything that comes your way that would stop or slow you down, and instead of storing it in your trunk where most people keep their stuff… instead of that, I store it in my tank, my fuel tank, and convert it into rocket fuel and I just go faster and faster and become unstoppable.
My decision is my mission and my commitment to my mission. Their decision is whether to be a part of it or not.

With so much resistance around finding the right workout routine, dragging yourself to the gym, and hiring a personal trainer, FORME breaks down the barriers to an effective, convenient fitness journey.
The fitness world is going digital, but despite all this innovative technology, human connection is still important. Listen in as Trent describes how FORME Life is striving to make virtual personal training more personalized and human-centered.
What is the FORME Life experience? Is FORME truly worth the investment? Tune in to hear Trent break down how FORME works, the feedback they’ve gotten from users, and the ways it can benefit your unique daily life.
The main goal for your fitness journey is to feel better, but that takes time, usually a few weeks or months. Most people’s attention and motivation for working out and eating healthy lasts about a week. “We have the opportunity here with technology to kind of fill in that motivation gap, to get you to the other side, to get that real engagement driver of ‘I feel good, I want to do more of this’,” Trent says. “It’s pushing you to complete things, it’s removing the friction and allowing it on-demand and in your house.”
Then, Trent shares his current health goals and highlights his approach to living a healthy lifestyle as a busy entrepreneur.
Powerful Quotes by Trent Ward
Frankly, if you’re stronger, whether it’s physical or mental, you’re more resilient.
If we can remove friction from your life and make it exciting and in your house and on-demand, we’ll increase your frequency of activity and that’s just nudging you in the right direction.
The optimization isn’t “Are you an Olympic athlete?”. It’s “Do I like this person and trust them?” and so, it’s really about personal relationships and rapport and we’re trying to celebrate that as much as we can in the digital realm.

What is the biological cost of your training? What negatively affects training the most? Listen in as Jay describes what the biological cost of your training means and how you can manage it healthily.
When do you ever get time alone to think? The human body is always the greatest coach, so you need to regularly take time to be alone with yourself, listening to your body and mind without external input.
Jay speaks on the importance of finding exercises that fit your body long-term, the disadvantages of overtraining, and what to do when your typical fitness routine doesn’t work for you anymore.
Jay shares powerful advice on building confidence, training for longevity, and seeing lasting results into your 30s and 40s.
What is your minimum effective dose in strength training? Jay breaks down the concept of minimum effective dose as a simple, yet highly effective approach to gaining muscle and strength. Tune in to learn more!
Powerful Quotes by Jay Ferruggia
If you’re just starting out, you don’t have to do all the things all the time. Basic strength training is going to be 80%, that’s going to be your results.
I’ve always been my biggest and strongest training like three or four days a week, but… there’s something about the habit and the mindset and the stress relief of training more.
There’s very few reasons to lift weights other than to build muscle and gain strength, and then as you get older and older, bone density. I don’t think it’s good for conditioning. I don’t think it’s good for fat loss.

Pain is one of our most valuable teachers… even physical pain! Chase and Kevin discuss how pain can cause you to develop a negative relationship with your body and how to begin reframing your relationship to pain. They also touch on the connection between mental pain, physical pain, and identity.
Kevin speaks on the positive impacts of patient/practitioner relatability on patient outcomes, emphasizing the importance of having diversity in healthcare professionals.
How have the lifestyle changes people have experienced since 2020 impacted people’s relationships with their bodies? Tune in to hear Kevin’s take on this along with the massive opportunities you have to deepen your relationship with yourself in 2023.
Kevin breaks down his strategies for increasing mobility and flexibility in patients and making manual therapy for pain more palatable for the average person.
Powerful Quotes by Dr. Kevin Marryshow
Having a relationship [with your body] creates a vessel and an area of opportunity to really take accountability and ownership.
Identity is a huge part of this discussion between how we experience pain, what it means to us, and how that pain can ultimately change who we are, unfortunately, unless we have a real grasp over that.
If you can relate to the stories of the practitioner or the clinician that’s working with you, it already drives better outcomes because of the psychosocial component to pain and recovery and performance.
The work doesn’t end when you’re out of pain, the work actually just begins because that’s when you’re moving your best, you’re at your freest and that when we get to build on what we’ve been working on.
