What does that mean?

Many people feel trapped or constrained by their biology - that their genes are their fate. They have a slow metabolism.. they're big boned... they have a genetic predisposition for cancer... they're an ectomorph or an endomorph...

Well in this episode, Paul explains why the science of epigenetics shows us that we have far more control over our level of physical health and wellbeing than we could have imagined and shows you how you can build a lifestyle that helps you become your healthiest, fittest best!

Do you feel that you’re at a place in your life where you’re growing mentally?

Or, are you so busy holding onto a set of beliefs you’re acting on — consciously or unconsciously — that you’re in a constant state of imbalance?

This third of Paul’s five-part Evolve series of Living 4D episodes will give you plenty of resources to help you begin to find that ability to grow mentally for today and the future.

Knowing you’ll have lots of questions based on the information Paul will be sharing with you, we hope you will join him for a special Instagram live event Saturday, April 13 at 12 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time/3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

• The organic food movement didn’t start until 1946. (34:50)
• Have you done a real comparison of what’s cheaper — organic or processed foods — when shopping at the grocery store. What’s really the better price for your health? (38:41)

Depending on who you ask, the Tarot can be a pleasant, unserious distraction to the uninitiated or the work of the Devil for those who hold rigidly to their religious beliefs without question.

For the knowledgeable and skilled, however, the Tarot can be a great source of knowledge and human insight if they are willing to listen and learn.

Meet Russell Sturgess, author of The Spiritual Roots of the Tarot: The Cathar Code Hidden in the Cards, who shares how his life’s calling was transformed by a voice in a gift store at Christmas and describes the globe-spanning journey he’s taken to document then share what he’s learned in this historical Living 4D conversation.

Learn more about Russell’s work on his website and the Western Mindfulness website and YouTube.

For Living 4D listeners: Russell is offering special discounts on his CHASM/Pathways to Mindfulness mentoring programs at his online store. Use the promo code CHEK1 (CHASM 8 session course) or CHEK2 (CHASM 28 session course) when you register to receive your discount.

What does it take to build a loving, successful relationship? Why does that seem all the more difficult now, in this day and age?

Oh, and how do you build that with THREE people in the relationship – and we don’t mean you and a child.

In this episode of Living 4D, Paul explores the nature of healthy relationships – and open relationships – with a pair of fellow travelers in Aubrey Marcus, founder and CEO of Onnit, and Kyle Kingsbury, former UFC fighter and Onnit’s Director of Human Optimization.

Show Notes

• Paul’s simple advice about polyamorous relationships: Until you learn to ride one horse very well, it’s dangerous to ride two at a time. (2:18)
• The first challenge with these relationships: Can you be honest? (6:31)
• “I needed to feel like I was the most physically dominant to be loved.” (18:49)
• Diseases between partners in relationships are ones stemming from repression and people wanting to be the center of attention. (26:08)
• Being polyamorous and wanting novelty isn’t just “a male thing.” (32:34)
• Psychedelics and plant medicines can help people unpack cultural programming. (38:43)
• “Love isn’t meant to be possessed. Love is meant to be wild to a certain degree.” (41:20)
• Plant medicines merely show you a path. You must still do the work to make change happen. (48:13)
• Making a compromise can be an act of love when it’s acknowledged by your partner. (54:52)
• How Kyle’s Prius is like the Batmobile… (1:02:54)
• Open relationships quickly expose our weaknesses and traumas that require fixing. (1:07:24)
• Paul has felt fears of “burning in hell” and being judged by God during a sexual experience. (1:15:55)
• A rare moment when the tables are turned and Paul became the student. (1:18:53)
• Open relationships require trust in your partner and yourself. (1:25:00)
• The financial sacrifices Paul made to keep the CHEK Institute alive. (1:30:22)
• The concept of compersion. (1:35:51)
• Seinfeld’s airing of grievances works in the real world. (1:43:10)
• Bringing someone new into an open relationship, especially one kids, is much like building a supportive tribe. (1:49:27)

We’ve all heard the stories about the physical and mental stress people put themselves through during CrossFit workouts (not to mention the injuries). 

So, is it really possible to benefit from this demanding kind of training?

Paul discusses a far more rational approach to CrossFit with Dale Walker - physiotherapist, lecturer at the University of Salford, co-founder of Bulletproofbodies UK in Manchester, and a former soldier in the Royal Marines.

Read more about Dale’s approach to CrossFit by downloading his free ebook, Don’t Get Cross, Get Fit.

• The British Army moving toward more functional movement. (17:09)
• Complaining is our first impulse toward creativity, if we take the opportunity. (24:57)
• Do you “empty the bone” before working with your clients? (35:50)
• Imagine your brain as a muscle that needs to relax during rest periods. (47:16)
• Learning how to relax and feel through a connection to the right brain hemisphere can save a soldier’s life. (50:23)

• “Every time I went to a CrossFit gym, 95 percent of the people there weren’t close to being ready for the kinds of exercises they were doing.” (1:09:36)
• The four-stage Bulletproof Body System approach to CrossFit. (1:16:25)
• How many reps of corrective exercise does it take for a client to rehab a faulty motor program? 3,500-5,000! (1:26:12)
• People get in trouble when they push their bodies past the threshold of normal motor performance near the end of a set and begin inducing microtraumas or impingement syndromes. (1:30:55)
• The body experiences sub-thresholds of pain. (1:35:11)
• The symptoms of adrenal fatigue. (1:46:06)
• Using CrossFit for stress relief is like trying to put out a fire with fire. (1:49:45)
• The durability and adaptability of women may soon help them dominate many endurance sports. (2:05:15)
