💬 “ If the whole world actually meditated, the world that we live in would be a kinder, better place.” ~Ariel Garten

➡︎ Meditation is a practise we all know we should be doing, but aren’t. Often it’s not for lack of trying - meditation can be hard, and in a world where we’re taught to be busy at all times, it can feel like a waste of time. But meditation is the key to unburdening yourself from stress, anxiety, trauma and self-doubt. Luckily, there’s a way to make it easier.

➡︎ Ariel Garten is a neuroscientist and co-founder of Muse, a healthtech startup that has created a brain-sensing EEG headband that is helping over half a million people around the world improve their meditation practises. By measuring your brainwaves while you meditate, Muse gives you real-time biofeedback on brain activity, heart rate, and body movements. Ariel and Muse have been featured in the likes of Forbes, Fortune, Men’s Health, Wired and more.

➡︎ In this episode, Ariel and Tim discuss what exactly is going on inside the brain while we meditate - and the science behind why it’s so effective at improving sleep and reducing stress. Ariel explores powerful moments where her meditation practice had a real impact on her life, helping her to unplug from addictions and stop sweating the small stuff. And she explores various meditation techniques and practices - and how you can incorporate them into your life.

A huge thank you to MUSE for sponsoring this episode!

Getting results from meditation can be slow - Your meditation app might tell you to focus, but it has no idea what's actually happening in your brain or with your neurotransmitters.Muse neurofeedback shortcuts this. By using advanced EEG sensors to track your brain activity, heart rate and movement in real-time, it’s actually tracking how your body and mind are responding to meditation. When your mind is calm, you hear soothing nature sounds. When it wanders, the sounds shift - it basically sees what's going on inside your brain in real time. For me, this has helped me create a calm, focused mediation practice in days rather than months.

⚡️Easy ways to go paleo, live primal and add years to your life - without restriction

💬 “ The essence of the primal movement is, when in doubt, go back to the ancestral model and emulate that in the real world.” ~Mark Sisson

➡︎ The modern world and all its comforts are causing us pain and making us sick. Our bodies did not evolve to live like this - to sit for hours on end, or to chug down ultra-processed food every 3 hours. The solution? Go primal.

➡︎ Mark Sisson is widely known as the founding father of the ancestral health movement and the paleo diet. His focus is on getting us to eat and move like our ancestors, to extend the healthy years we have on this planet. He’s the author of The Primal Blueprint, The Keto Reset Diet and The Primal Connection. And his latest book is titled Born To Walk.

➡︎ In this episode, Mark and Tim discuss the core tenants of the Primal Blueprint, and how you can easily incorporate these into your life. They dismantle the misconceptions around the Paleo diet, explaining just how abundant your food choices can be. They discuss the many health benefits of going barefoot (or wearing barefoot shoes). And, with the Health Optimisation Summit in Austin coming up, they explore the importance of finding your “tribe” and sharing your journey with other, like-minded people.
