he human body needs to eat real food most of the time in order to survive and thrive. Today we use the idea of the “Overton window” to assess our diets and look at a strategy for influencing and creating change within our diet.

To obtain health, give the body what it needs and stay away from what it doesn’t. We are firm believers in the idea that we are “reformed and always reforming”. Meaning there is always opportunity to continue to challenge what we do and move closer to an optimal state of human flourishing. In this episode we discuss that process of continually assessing and changing and how to turn new behaviors into repeatable tasks

The human body needs times of work and times of recreation in order to survive and thrive. If you’re like me, you tend to fall heavily on one side of the spectrum and your recreation muscles are a little weak. This week we talk through some of our favorite ways we recreate and how to bring some order to this arena.

The human body needs sleep in order to survive and thrive. EVERYBODY knows “you’re supposed to get 8 hours of sleep” but that blanket statement about the quantity of our sleep is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to looking at overall sleep hygiene. So the piece we are looking at today is in regard to the environment you’re sleeping in. Is cool? dark? quiet? calm?

The human body needs times of rest in order to survive and thrive. We are also extremely habitual creatures. All of the principles should be practiced in a rhythmic and structured way. Rest is no different. In this episode we talk about rhythms of rest we have cultivated on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis.

The human body needs to be physically challenged in order to survive and thrive. Most of the time that challenge should come in a dose that is appropriately challenging and allows us to have adequate recovery day over day to remain active while progressively gaining strength and capacity. Every once in a while we should push our bodies to a place we don’t go to every day to maintain access to that ability. The question is, what tools allow you to get there safely?

The human body needs access to its full physical potential in order to survive and thrive. One of those positions being full flexion at the hip. To assess this we simply ask, can you touch your toes?

The human body needs to move in order to survive and thrive. Cold temperatures, snow, and limited sunshine really put a damper on that throughout the winter months. How do you combat this?

Health is a natural byproduct of a lifestyle that puts your body in a position to thrive. Sickness works the same way. It is not something that just happens to you out of nowhere. In this episode we dig into what a lifestyle that will inevitably lead to sickness looks like.

In order to understand and pursue health we need to understand what sickness is as well. We need to know what is normal and what is not normal. And we need to know ultimately what produces health and what produces sickness.

It may not come as a surprise that we're generally not the biggest fans of pharmaceuticals. However, they're a very real part of our culture and it takes a lot of knowledge and understanding of this world to be able to help people who are on them. Enter Dr. Matt Arnold. Matt is a pharmacist who is much more interested in helping people get OFF their medications than he is getting them ON more. We had a great time talking with Matt.
