Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary- the science of sound medicine

Our guest today is Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary.  She was born in India but left at the age of 4 to relocate with her family in the US.  Her path led her to become a medical doctor specializing in Neurology and the director of Wellspring health in Scripps Memorial Hospital for ten years.  Luckily for us, she became sick, which sounds bad I know, but as pills and traditional treatment was not working she looked to Ayurvedic medicine and meditation which quickly brought her back to health.  From this point on she hasn’t looked back and is a pioneer bridging the worlds of ancient Indian traditions and medicine to modern science.She is currently decoding and researching ancient Siddha texts and medicine which very few people on the planet have had access to.  Specific frequencies and vibrations of sound delivered thru mantras and instruments have been essential to our health in for thousands of years in these traditions and we are just starting to have science match up and offer explanations for how this is possible.She recently released her second book “Sound medicine” which is an amazing journey thru the current science of sound and how it maps to Ayurvedic  and western medicine.  I love that Kulreet is so grounded in science but also open to what science has yet to be able to uncover.She is an absolute light in this world and doing important work that has far reaching potential.  This was a really fun conversation so I hope you enjoy!We talk about:-the bridge between western medicine and eastern practices-spiritual growth-the science of quantum physics, biology, biofields, etc-healing aspect of nature (ocean, forest)-healing thru the lens of Ayurveda, sound, ancient siddha and Vedic texts-mantra meditation-chakras and the nervous system-subtle energy fields in the body-heart electromagnetic field-devotion vs love-how to access higher states of consciousness-detox the physical and emotional body-shift from receiving to creating More info:Dr Kulreet Chaudhary websitehttps://drkulreetchaudhary.com/ Twitterhttps://twitter.com/drkchaudhary?lang=en Book- Sound medicinehttps://amzn.to/31BNkWV Book- The Prime: Prepare and Repair Your Body for Spontaneous Weight Losshttps://amzn.to/3dP0fJS Link to Dosha quizhttps://drkulreetchaudhary.com/dosha-quiz/

Spiros Michalakis- quantum entanglement, empathy, and why "change" is fundamental

Spiros is a great guy and absolutely brilliant! I heard him on my friend Gabby Reece’s podcast and loved their conversation so I was thrilled he agreed to be on the show.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/quantum-physicist-behind-marvel-universe-spiros-michalakis/id1492179907?i=1000465808475Spiros is a mathematical physicist at Caltech’s Institute of quantum information and matter (IQIM). His research focuses on the physical and mathematical mechanisms underlying the emergence of space–time. He manages IQIM’s outreach program so is actively involved in teaching and interacting with the community.  He also consults with Hollywood on blockbuster films to ensure an accurate representation of quantum physics. For example Marvels ant man series, captain marvel and most recently bill and ted face the music. Earlier I mentioned brilliant….well in 1998 a list of 13 open problems in mathematical physics was created…Spiros and his post doc partner Hastings solved one of these problems which took 10 years before it was fully understood and recognized as solved.  Its the only problem fully solved on the list.http://web.math.princeton.edu/~aizenman/OpenProblems_MathPhys/9903.QHallCond.htmlhttps://www.caltech.edu/about/news/solved-caltech-researcher-helps-crack-decades-old-math-problem-83296https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelcrowell/2018/08/31/researchers-solve-first-problem-from-mathematical-physics-wish-list/#23622d47bdb5We cover:-The master algorithm-Quantum entanglement-Why humans are infinite-Space and time-Empathy-The biggest illusion in our world-The most fundamental thing in our universe-What is the soul-Is a fate real-Black holes-The power of science-Why love is fundamental to humans Links:Instagramhttps://instagram.com/quantum_spiros?igshid=sevim2vv4gskTwitterhttps://twitter.com/quantum_spiros?lang=en

Nick Winkelman-How language can enhance performance

Ok guys it is a pleasure to have my friend Nick Winkelman on the show today.Nick is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to optimizing human performance so I am very excited to share this conversation with you. Nick is currently living in Dublin, Ireland where he is the head of athletic performance & science for the Irish Rugby Football Union. Before working for Irish Rugby, Nick was the director of education and training systems for EXOS (formerly Athletes' Performance), which is a global leader in performance training and education.  As the director of education, Nick oversaw the development and execution of all internal and external educational initiatives. As a performance coach, he oversaw the speed and assessment component of the NFL Combine and supported many professional athletes and elite Military.Nick completed his PhD in philosophy with a focus on motor learning and sprinting. He is a international speaker and consultant on human performance and coaching science and has numerous book chapters and peer reviewed papers focusing on the intersection between coaching language and athlete learning.Nick recently released his first book titled “The Language of coaching” which is a deep dive into the science and art of utilizing our language to best serve our athletes.This conversation is heavy on coaching athletes but the principles discussed are universal…so whether you are a coach, teacher, trainer, yoga instructor, CEO or athlete…whatever your profession I think you will take valuable insights with you because language is key to effective communication.  And good communication is everything!  Some topics discussed are: how to enhance focus, attention and memoryhow “being present” reflects your “presence” how to enhance recovery while you trainhow injury changes your focus and performancewhy external cuing wins when it comes to performancehow to navigate a “high pressure” moment for best resultsflow stateand the best life advice ever received “give it all away because it will come back to you”More on Nick…The BookThe Language of Coachinghttps://amzn.to/3ihuYR4Great education videoshttps://www.thelanguageofcoaching.com/Twitterhttps://twitter.com/NickWinkelman?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nickwinkelman/?hl=enPeople mentioned:Gabriele WulfAttention and Motor Skill Learninghttps://amzn.to/3hbCWK9Rob Grayhttps://perceptionaction.com/about/EXOShttps://www.teamexos.com/
