Join me, Dr. Yami, as I welcome the multifaceted Sid Garza Hillman, an ultra-runner and wellness coach, who enlightens us on the transformative power of ultra-running and the pursuit of discomfort for personal growth. Sid shares the fascinating concept of the motivational triad—our innate drive to avoid pain, seek pleasure, and conserve energy—and how this primal instinct can both sustain us and confine our potential. Listen in as we examine the counterintuitive joys found in pushing beyond our comfort zones and how embracing the raw elements of stress, fear, and discomfort in endurance sports can foster resilience and confidence to tackle broader life ambitions.
Learn about Sid's innovative 'light box and heavy box' concept, illustrating the importance of nutrient-dense foods for athletes and non-athletes alike. Whether you're an aspiring runner or simply seeking a fresh perspective on life's challenges, this episode offers an inspiring blend of life lessons, nutritional insights, and the encouragement to chase dreams with contentment and courage.
