How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

I feel like there is this shift in what used to be the habits and routines of “extreme biohackers” or “health gurus” and now those same things have become part of a lifestyle that people are adapting to make it their new healthy normal.    What we eat, how we move, what we focus on, how we approach health & supplements & body recovery, having a low stress lifestyle - all of it.    This is - my opinion - the best ever cultural shift… because it makes us all healthier, happier in our day to day because we feel great and we will live longer and age better....

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

The craziest thing that I’ve learned over the last year of reading and re-reading aging and longevity books is that much of what we think is natural aging is actually neglect.     My goal in this episode is to reframe what we assume or are told is “natural aging” or “just getting older” and show all the small things that we might be neglecting over time.   This whole concept is so empowering!!  Rather than feeling like we aren’t in control of how we age, we realize that we are actually in control of so much of it.    Focusing on all the tiny things we...

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

This episode is all about documents your highs in life, so you can create more of them. As a person who’s thought a lot about joy and happiness and fulfillment - if we just try to simplify all of that - I really think it comes down to stringing as many awesome days together as you can.

One of my favorite things about podcasting and connecting with friends is sharing experiences because we’re all in different situations every day so we learn different things. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to share our journey and the tips and lessons from being in such extreme situation at times and the take-aways that I think are most valuable to everyone. 
 
We’re talking about keeping good notes, showing gratitude to those helping you, staying calm and not letting overwhelming emotions take over and prioritizing the entire family when anyone is going through something hard. 
 
 
-Email for health records 
-Notes on your phone for each person- one for overall history and one more meds/supplements 
-Book with everything printed 
-Being realistic but optimistic 
-Caring for whole family (Craig kept telling me to go be with the kids) 
-Letting people know whats going on in your world so you get the extra support 
-Stay strong minded and not weak - people help you more 
-Ask questions and take notes 
-Know people’s names, show gratitude in anyway you can
-Keep loving & doing normal feeling things through it 
-Even if nobody has issues - keep good records as you go
-Even if you have so many years so go through - loop in doctors to help you 
-Push for doctors to connect with each other 
-Consider concierge if you need it 
-Get your team of doctors going before you really need it 
-Keep health a top priority by reminding yourself that it is a top priority - on your weekly list of things to do 
-Don’t wait when you feel like something is off 
-Don’t eat hospital food - it’s not good enough for when you’re healing 
-Do your own research for little things that can help- and ask doctors - juicing, supplements etc. 
-Lay out clearly who you are the health quarterback for, then do all of this for them.  It’s your most important job. 
 
CHEERS to us, the health quarterbacks!
