What has you most excited these days? How can we prevent injury via nutrition aka REAL food? What is your knowledge on what inflammation comes from? How do we optimize our recovery after tough training, competitions, jobs, and other stressors in life? What knowledge can you share about the importance of sleep? What is one of mistake that most of us make during that day that ruins high quality sleep? Key Lessons: When it comes to significant injuries, it's important to get a second and third opinion? The REAL root of “decision” means to cut away any possibility except accomplishing that thing “When you make a REAL decision about something, there’s not an option for failure anymore.” SS @ 13:26 You can learn just about any aspect of life by listening to podcasts, for FREE You are what you eat, drink, and breath “You are what you assimilate” SS @ 23:20 Our bodies require the raw materials they need in order to rebuild us. “If you’re wanting to maintain a high quality bone density so you’re not breaking a bone, you need to provide your body with the raw materials it needs to actually create bone.” SS @ 23:30 We want to give our body real things it can recognize, not just supplements The #1 source to getting magnesium in your system is leafy green vegetables Spirulina can increase our production of stem cells in our bodies Stem cells become anything you need them to become “If you need to generate some meniscus..acl..muscle tissue from a pulled muscle from your hamstring..stem cells become everything that your body needs.” SS @ 30:20 Around 60% of all health conditions are related to inflammation (ie. heart disease, strokes, heart attacks) Anti inflammatory medications can actually stop the healing process The number of hours of sleep you get isn’t what is most important “Its not about the hours of sleep you get..it’s about the amount of time that you could get your body, brain, entire physiology into the deeper most anabolic stage of sleep.” Working the late night shift is a carcinogen, a cancer causing agent The body is evolved to be up during the day and asleep at night “Sleep in a pitch black room, get black out curtains, get the light out of your room...don’t play the TV while you’re sleeping...that step is going to help you and to stay in a deeper and more rejuvenative sleep.” SS @ 42:34 We need to be exposed to natural sunlight to help us sleep better at night Hello, World! SHAWN’S TIP JAR The best balanced breakfast… If maintaining blood sugar: keep it a low carb breakfast, (60% healthy fats, 30% protein, 20% carbs), ie. pasteurized sausages, half of an avocado, sauteed green, spoon of almond butter or coconut oil The best thing you travel with..
