“Sexual health for women doesn’t start with hormonal balance in their menopausal years, but well before, when they start taking hormonally-driven birth control. The mainstay of treatment for our patients, especially the younger ones is getting them off the pill. Cause that's often the primary issue in a lot of women.” – Dr. Joshua Gonzalez

 Dr. Douglas Polster, Performance Psychologist

“The first thing I do is set the record straight about expectations versus reality. . . I work in the present but respect the past. . . and stress is only a bad thing when we don’t have a reset button.”— Dr. Douglas Polster

 

In today’s episode, Dr. Shah and Kevin Peake speak to Dr. Douglas Polster, a performance psychologist and professor of neurobiology, who helps us to quiet the nagging inner voice which keeps us from achieving our highest goals and standards. Move past traditional cognitive behavioral therapy and lean into peak performance with Dr. Polster’s fascinating insights about how the brain actually works. Discover the most cutting-edge research and what it tells us about how to manage our state of mind.

With tools introduced by Dr. Polster, you can achieve higher levels of performance, quiet the nagging fear that the levels of success you’ve already achieved can not only be maintained, but tweaked to their maximum levels, and understand how fear doesn’t haven’t to cripple you, or keep you in a perpetual state of fight-or-flight.

Dr. Polster normally works with high achievers that are already knocking it out of the park, but are uncertain how to maintain their peak performance levels. He has invaluable advice for everyone though, no matter where they are in their journey to an optimized life.

Referencing a Will Ferrell movie as the perfect teaching tool to visualize what must be done cognitively to maintain high-performance levels, this podcast with Dr. Polster is brimming with entertaining quips and eye-opening moments.
