It’s my belief that the pinnacle of health involves having complete control over your nervous system - the highest performers on earth (mentally and physically) can “flip the switch” at a moment’s notice… When it’s time for the gold medal-winning race, or the moment that could make or break your career, you want the ability to turn ON - lightning fast. But the ability to intentionally downregulate your nervous system is an art of equal importance. The masterful skill of brain training is...

And the importance of your body’s capability comes down to more than muscle building or cardiovascular fitness, or even...

Whether I’m working with professional athletes, high-achieving executives, or determined entrepreneurs, I often look for the small hinges that swing the biggest doors… Over several decades, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s all about adaptation.
