Jim Kwik
welcome to kwik brain bite sized brain hacks for busy people who want to learn faster and achieve more i'm your
- [00:07]
coach jim kwik free your mind let's
- [00:11]
Gary Lynam
imagine if we could access one hundred percent of our brain's capacity i wasn't high wasn't wired just clear i knew what i needed to do and how to do it i know kung fu
- [00:23]
Jim Kwik
show me welcome back to the kwik brain podcast i am your host and your brain coach jim kwik i am joined today by my co founder our ceo alexis bank which many of you are big fans and followers of also as well we're going to talk about we're actually in antigua so this is we were having a conversation that we just wanted to get on video because this is brain change this is life changing she and i just had an experience here with the human garage team and we're going to share some thoughts on how to release to rise and how to be able to unlock your brain through your body and so we're joined here by gary lynam co founder of human garage thanks for joining us
- [01:12]
Gary Lynam
what an experience so part of part of the brain and the body's experience is energy and how it flows between us yeah so i'd like to sync us up so that we're in the
- [01:21]
Jim Kwik
same bubble i would love and love
- [01:23]
Gary Lynam
yeah why don't you take your cross your right ankle over top of your left and anybody can do this at
- [01:27]
Jim Kwik
home everyone's doing this at home yeah and if you watch this on youtube definitely definitely this visual yeah right hand
- [01:33]
Gary Lynam
underneath left armpit and left hand on top and anybody in the audience can do this if you want yeah so
- [01:39]
Jim Kwik
we have a live audience here too
- [01:40]
Gary Lynam
turn your head to the left and your body to the right and what we're going to do is we're going to take six breaths in sync together i'll count them out three to the mouth and three to the nose breathe into your mouth exhale two exhale three exhale through your nose three times exhale two exhale three exhale okay now i could see the look on your face already it creates a weird little bubble like we're in this bubble and we're closer to each other but the people seem farther away interesting it's a frequency
- [02:35]
Alexis Bank
that is interesting i'm still trying to recalibrate from our last session because that was unexpected but so what was unexpected about it just the amount of emotions that flew out of me yeah in that instant moment yeah it was instant so i'm trying to process but it's
- [02:56]
Gary Lynam
powerful so emotions live in the body and when we touch the body think of the body like a fluid adaptive biological computing system like an ipad so it has a display screen which i can read i can see what your body your computer saying and i can touch it and enter things and that's a lot of our stuff is touching reprogramming the body and there's a lot of things around this but you for particularly were holding a lot of self judgment and that self judgment was based around your feelings and your emotions and so as soon as i touched that button it was like a flood of emotions came and that's where emotions come from they come from the body and our brain observes us and tells them
- [03:34]
Jim Kwik
about them and it's interesting the memory training we do we talk about remembering things in our brain or hippocampus but a lot of those memories are stored
- [03:42]
Gary Lynam
in our body think about it this way think about the body being a computer and the brain being a processor a cpu cpu yeah and it runs program so it brings up into ram memory runs a program but think about the word remember and think about the opposite of that which is dismember so in the body we use dismember to take the body apart in pieces when we remember we take the pieces that are stored in the body and the brain reassembles it for a running program that's why sometimes we can get a piece and we can't and that's why you do brain training and that's why you do hand movements or you walk when you want to remember things because the memory itself the way i feel it is stored in the body but more specifically the fascia because the fascia has its own brain so for people
- [04:26]
Jim Kwik
listening who aren't familiar with fascia why don't we start there what is it and why is it important okay so
- [04:32]
Gary Lynam
you can look at it a couple of ways we typically have been taught it's a tissue it's an organic tissue which holds everything together we used to think of it as a wrapping around muscles and organs but we know it's more than that it's actually the structure of the body and but we now know it has an interstitium it's got a brain and that brain is super highly intelligent it's more intelligent has more processing power than the physical brain so it's it's part out there sensing phase like for example when somebody walks into a room and you feel that they're angry what part of your brain told you that something had to feel it and then your brain told you that you had the feeling so that your body is the instrument of feeling so you have five senses that are attached to the brain sight sound touch taste hearing smell the other ten clairaudience clairvoyance those gut instincts those feelings they come to us through the body and our brain interprets them we all have them but we just don't use them a lot it's like you always say it's a training issue so we're not trained to use it so we see the fascia is the conduit it's made of water our body and it's made of silica basically sand and water and bacteria and if that's actually like a lot like a quartz crystal so we say that the fascia is like this crystalline structure that's sending and receiving signals and another thing that people don't think about is calcium is a metal so your bones are highly metallic actually and so the the bones are metallic they're sending and receiving things all the time and the fascia is the conduit like in your cell phone you have a metal antenna that wraps and goes like that it's flattened and there's a crystal on top that projects that signal wow and
- [06:20]
Alexis Bank
that's fascinating i say it's fascinating fascinating
- [06:23]
Jim Kwik
fascinating you already hear that that would make a great t shirt so tell us about human garage what is it in relation to what's the mission and how are you going to go about
- [06:35]
Gary Lynam
we see a world where a billion people are taking care of their body self care and we're the largest self care movement on the planet today we do a billion views well right now currently every eighty days so we're touching a billion people every eighty days but we're getting them to encourage them to do something for self care and just like you it's a billion brains well we have a billion bodies and we're going to hit those billion bodies actually mechanically doing something in the next two years at the rate we're going so what we do is train people how to take care of themselves traditionally healthcare was thought of as something that a hospital or a doctor or something that happens now we're moving into biohacking where i can kind of figure it out myself well there's a step which goes beyond that which is how do i care for my own body and that's emotional physical perceptual because biohacking will take care of the physicality but i still have to have an emotional response like like alexis you just went through emotional response so it's a holistic caring of the body and we're teaching people how to access that holistic caring and ninety five percent of what we do is free it's accessible to everybody anywhere at
- [07:42]
Jim Kwik
any time i like it because there's agency right you're empowering an individual showing them what to do and how to do it so they can do it themselves you're not dependent on something outside
- [07:53]
Gary Lynam
of themselves so that was my origin story because i spent two and a half million dollars and three hundred practitioners trying to fix myself and it didn't work so i became a practitioner i ended up fixing myself five days a week so i had to do it for a business i'm an entrepreneur and then the foundation even when i had my clinic in venice beach california my wife and i started that and that clinic i had care all the time and i was doing really good but when i left during the pandemic i'm no longer good again and that feeling even when i would go home sometimes at the end of a day and i'd have something go off and my neck was out or something and i'd feel helpless i didn't want to have to rely upon somebody else to help me feel good and that made me angry and it made me sad and what i wanted to do is i wanted to be self sufficient that's what
- [08:44]
Jim Kwik
this movement is about it's like giving a person a fish you feed them for the day teach them how to fish we have the same thing with ours we tell people give someone an idea you enrich their life teach someone how to learn they can enrich their their own lives right so they could be the the the hero of their that they've been waiting for and i
- [09:01]
Alexis Bank
believe like i mean we i think we all believe that we everyone we all have the capacity to learn heal grow everything is within us we just have to open up the channels with the mind body is that alignment that you know you were talking about before we started filming i would love for you to share more about that because it's how much the brain is holding when the body is not aligned when body's holding tension your nervous system is locked up how much energy your brain spends that's blocking other creativity and energy that can go to so let me
- [09:35]
Gary Lynam
give you like some really good examples when we're young and we're babies we don't know how to move we know how to make things work like babies can sign language before they can speak and because they don't have the vocal cords aren't quite developed they haven't patterned it yet and these patterns that we learn to do things like one of the toughest ones actually is to drink is to grab a glass pick it up and turn it and because it takes years and years to do it right at first they get the little handles and they like this and they get stuff all over them well it takes years to pattern that action because the humuculus and cerebellum cerebellum is elegant motion the humuculus is like that strength that mechanics and you have to learn how far is that glass how hard do you squeeze it because at first it's like squeeze box then you got to bring it up and then not only do you bring it to your mouth you actually have to tilt back your head adjusting your balance and at the same time to get elegant drinking now once you do it your body goes through all the steps and you literally talk yourself through it like i reach my hand out grab not too hard lift it up bring it closer mouth those are all programming statements and eventually once we get an activity that we're going to do that's fundamental to our life they become a synaptic optimized program in the brain so that program is there now it's all great that it's sitting there like this and some people like for me you think drinking is easy i still get water on me every time i drink so somehow i screwed up that program as a kid and and what happens is this synaptic optimized program well if i hurt my arm and i can't lift it like this then i have to pull my shoulder and protect it lift like this and go like this now that the brain has to do a lot of work around that program because once that program synaptic optimized program is set it like hardwires it you never think about it again you don't tell yourself the story again it just runs in the background and then everything that you do that's out of that synaptic optimized program crawling walking breathing lifting anytime you have a malfunction in your body your brain has to think about it so when we reprogram people's bodies when they to heal the program they'll say stuff like oh i don't have to think about walking anymore and the joke is were you thinking about walking well they actually were because their hips were out if your hips are out you're thinking about walking if your shoulders out you're thinking about lifting and turning and that draws a massive amount of processing power
- [12:03]
Jim Kwik
from your processor i feel like there's a big unlock we talk about how the brain doesn't come with an owner's manual and the brain's part of the body and the body doesn't either at least taught in a way that's functional where people could use it and i like the term garage because you think about all the innovation that was created in the garage everything from apple to harley davidson you know had an origin point in a garage and we get to work on ourselves we're rebuilding humans
- [12:31]
Gary Lynam
our relationship with our humanity in the
- [12:33]
Jim Kwik
garage right and even when you're talking about the drinking the water you know how difficult it is to program a robot like an ai robot to do something simple tasks like that even even
- [12:42]
Gary Lynam
now you know there's there's all these little things we don't think about ao the first robot in japan for years they couldn't get it to walk properly and they took this they had this young junior engineer came in for years as a program and the thing would fall over it was unstable and they go the robot doesn't have any toes and these are little things what is technology technology is an expansion of a human being it does something for a human so all technology technically is is derived from a human even an ipad an apple it's derived from the function of how a human works and they closely mirror a function that a human does so that a human can do something better in the world so we are the technology we're the oem and there will never be a copy even ai as good as a human because ai can think but it cannot perceive it has to use logic which i have a feeling that the ai doesn't i have i have this ability this intuition i can feel into your life
- [13:48]
Alexis Bank
you're so good because you know during the trip you were just pinpointing just by looking at somebody their posture even by birthdays too we were just blown
- [13:58]
Gary Lynam
away so let's say i feel everything and then the birthday gives me gives me a place in that big database where to direct that feeling it's it's
- [14:07]
Alexis Bank
fascinating and i fascinating fascinating and i think that's hu that's what human intelligence is we often think about human intelligence as data processing just remembering things but i you know we were talking i'm like i think there's way more to this i think it's our human intelligence is really sensing it's being able to sense yes but when your body your brain body is out of alignment and also we often numb ourselves and we distract our minds and you don't feel anything you can't process the information that's
- [14:38]
Jim Kwik
around you also when there's trauma and there's incidents or if you're in your locked up you're in that survival mode holds you hostage from your executive function your creativity your problem solving your innovation it also narrows your focus right when you're in survival mode you're focused and so you're not even relaxed enough to be able to take in and open up your senses that goes to what
- [14:58]
Gary Lynam
we were talking about earlier where is the mind is exist so in the optimum state if you take psilocybin your mind exists out here observing yourself if you're completely serotonin is flooding through your system you're out of stress your mind goes whoa and you can observe yourself and the patterns now if you have a threat to your intellect your mind sits into your frontal cortex to defend it if you have a threat to your emotions it sits in your limbic region if you have a threat to your physical body your mind sits in your rear your rear brain in that fight or flight and this is why when there's pain in the body our mind spends most of the time in the rear brain are you going to

- [16:28]
Gary Lynam
flight mechanism and it's hard to get over that and that we can do it we can use techniques to do it but those techniques are work that the body shouldn't have to do and what i found in my own life is that when i freed the body all the aches and pains and the mechanical issues of the body then my mind started observing more and i actually have evidence of it scientifically in brain scans because i've been doing brain scans since twenty twenty and instead of having a naturally formed brain where all the layers go front to back all of my colored layers are in my right right frontal hemisphere which means that i like i'm on psilocybin all day long i just see patterns and that's actually what i want i want to see the pattern rather than have to remember something to feel safe because if i can see a pattern anytime at any time then i use less cognition to memorize things if that makes sense and
- [17:23]
Jim Kwik
it frees a lot of mental cognitive energy because there's a big cognitive load you know when you're focused on survival or how to be able to walk or injuries like we talked about my traumatic brain injury as when i was a child and so what would you
- [17:36]
Gary Lynam
and i had i had one at six and i had eight of them concussions and concussions eight significant so what's
- [17:44]
Jim Kwik
going on there like when i when
- [17:45]
Gary Lynam
i and by the way also too i had epilepsy epic seizures i didn't know until my eighth concussion wow i actually had car accidents because of epilepsy and i didn't even know i had epilepsy because no one had ever seen me have a seizure i just woke
- [17:59]
Jim Kwik
up on the floor so many people have had accidents or some kind of physical trauma maybe they remember it maybe they don't remember it in my incidence you know when i was five i had the the brain injury what and then i was on your table for just even a little bit and what i love it is you balance everything out with this is how you do it yourself right because i i'm very big on taking personal responsibility not being reliant on something outside you know to best my ability so what what's can you describe what happened when i had this accident in my body and related to the release that we had with
- [18:34]
Gary Lynam
the so i had one of five too i got hit by a bat okay clocked in the head oh my gosh it was it was an accident it was kids playing but i got fully clocked in the head and so when you hit the body and this is i work with a lot of really super elite pro athletes like some of the top athletes in the world boxers athletes you name the athlete if they're the elite in the world they've probably seen me or close to it and what i've noticed is is in my own case so i'll just dissect what happened for me and then what i've noticed on other people i've noticed that when you have a concussion or a hit to the head the fascia around there because there's layers of fascia muscle it contracts and then that contraction until we release the fascia never goes away so somebody who's had a brain injury or hit to the head when they were five like you that was still there and what i was doing was opening that up so now what happens is that restricts blood flow inside the head and the brain in that area so then the brain has to build mechanisms around that to function and at whatever part of the brain it restricted blood flow it could be the frontal it could be the left side the right side and you'll see this quite often you'll see somebody who has their right side brain injury and they're very focused on details and structure and details and numbers and then when you release the right side it's like whoa this creativity opens up so we open up the flow and the fascia and that flow allows the brain and all the cranial bones and everything to start moving better and this is something you do yourself like twisting we have an entire upper body reset we've got a non surgical facelift and we appeal the beauty quite often because that's where people
- [20:19]
Jim Kwik
are we're gonna get a lot of comments on youtube about non surgical facelift
- [20:22]
Gary Lynam
well it's cool because the very first time you do it you see a difference take it before and after you do a non surgical facelift on yourself you take a before and after photo and i encourage people to do this it changes the face right away and if you do that over and over again it continues to change it that
- [20:40]
Jim Kwik
could disrupt some industries we'll definitely put a link also to in our show notes at jimquick dot com notes to i'm sure to use your youtube yeah
- [20:50]
Gary Lynam
we can put it in youtube and you know there's a couple of things that we would recommend to people people do to start off with i would
- [20:55]
Jim Kwik
i would love that i i want to just talk about just the feelings because i i think some people have had the experience where they've had work done and they have this release of those emotions like alexis yes just a
- [21:09]
Alexis Bank
few minutes ago i'm still processing by the way that's why i'm a little like i'm here but i'm like okay there's a lot just flowing through me and you know from our session and just allowing that to just just be
- [21:21]
Gary Lynam
here alexis say this say i'm letting go of the resentment i'm letting go
- [21:26]
Jim Kwik
of the resentment for holding all this
- [21:28]
Gary Lynam
grief in my body for holding all of this grief all of this grief
- [21:32]
Alexis Bank
in my body for my father for
- [21:35]
Gary Lynam
my father i no longer want to
- [21:36]
Alexis Bank
hold it i no longer want to
- [21:38]
Gary Lynam
hold it it's not mine it's not mine i feel safe to let it
- [21:42]
Alexis Bank
go i feel safe to let it go
- [21:49]
Gary Lynam
that feels you feel that huh
- [21:51]
Jim Kwik
i feel it i feel it i i even feel the the energy here also as well because it does it does go outside of us right it's not just what you could what you could see with those five with your sense of sight right in terms of what what you could process right the other dimension the other senses the other ten that that that people can really
- [22:10]
Gary Lynam
focus on yeah they're there we have them in extreme circumstances the things that i hold in my body that i don't want other people to know are the things that keep me sick and dysfunctional that is the greatest thing that i've learned in my journey so i wrote a thing called privacy an article called privacy is my disease and when i told people the things that i didn't want them to know all of a sudden i had more capacity in my life it was crazy yeah the
- [22:39]
Alexis Bank
best way to do it is just release it probably to the most bandied off yes pull the band aid off
- [22:45]
Jim Kwik
but it's interesting like for people just to talk about it it doesn't have the effect because that's not how that it was installed right and then so i always think the fastest way to be able to change your brain is to be able to change its work with the body because the body is like almost the expression of it's like the body is like your subconscious right it's like it's like your it's like
- [23:03]
Alexis Bank
your mind and also even just talking just speaking out loud the second time already feels you feel different right lighter than the first time so one more
- [23:14]
Gary Lynam
say i feel safe to speak my
- [23:16]
Alexis Bank
truth i feel safe to speak my
- [23:18]
Gary Lynam
truth the truth from my heart the truth from my heart even when it's
- [23:22]
Alexis Bank
inconvenient for others even when it's inconvenient for others
- [23:27]
Gary Lynam
see you can feel that and what happened was is we opened up the fascia so that the brain the emotions the energy in her body is flowing now words make a difference they really do because the body is in what i call programming mode after we do a fascial maneuver single maneuver we enter a mode called programming mode so we then can say stuff to affect the programming of our fluid adaptive biological computing system and then the brain hears that and the reticular activating lobe of the brain when we're in programming mode lights up one hundred percent you can actually see see it on an mri you can actually see when when you do a fascial maneuver you see the neurons moving all through the brain and and building new connections and then you say something and your reticular activation activating lobe lights up to one hundred percent and it goes okay and it wants to prove whatever you say true now so this is the hack that i know for reprogramming the fluid adaptive biological computing system our human is is to put the body into programming mode so basically what i found is a programming hack and that's what i do that's my background how can people go
- [24:34]
Jim Kwik
deeper in your work stay connected to you and your team let's give everybody
- [24:39]
Gary Lynam
a challenge people like challenges right i mean you did the forward backwards challenge and i'm like oh we're in the car trying to do that aaron's trying to do that while he's driving and i'm like stop it so let's give everybody a challenge because a lot of people in your community are used to doing things to enhance their cognitive function
- [24:57]
Jim Kwik
they're doing speed reading drills memory drills testing themselves maybe they can do before and after yes they could do one of our memory names or numbers or words test the reading speed and then do yeah so i'm going to give
- [25:10]
Gary Lynam
them two things to do okay okay i'm going to give them i'm going to give them a fifteen minute stress reset that will neurologically and physiologically take the stress out of their body now when you remove the stress you have more you have more mental or processing capability so fifteen minutes stress reset it's on our youtube we can link it in the show notes and there's one other one specifically for the brain and we'll do it together i'll show you really quickly take your hands put it
- [25:38]
Jim Kwik
out like this everyone do this with
- [25:40]
Gary Lynam
us i'm gonna i'm gonna do one finger i'm gonna do your your right hand take grab your right hand ring finger turn it away from you pull your left elbow around turn your head to the right and breathe through your mouth three times through your nose three times okay come on back now feel something that happens inside your head you feel it right so your fingers these are ten organs ten fingers your fingers highly impact them your brain's ability to perform so there's a there's a finger release that i'm going to put in the show notes with you guys so for all the brainiacs you do these two things and do whatever brain function cognitive test you want and report the results it'll be crazy people will have amazing transformations that they couldn't even imagine to be possible it'll be the ten
- [26:45]
Jim Kwik
fingers ten organs oh my god we weren't taught that in anatomy back in
- [26:50]
Gary Lynam
high school we weren't taught everything the basic fundamentals of how our body works we weren't yeah yeah and what we're doing here is we ninety five percent of what we do is free of charge we we curate programs to people to support us we have some supplements but what we ask is when you our primary ask is if this benefits you share it with three people that's it and if you do that you've done all that you need to to support us and if you want to support us another way buy a supplement take a seven day reset twenty eight day reset join a coaching program those are all benefits that you can do but our primary thing is help yourself and help three other people people and
- [27:25]
Jim Kwik
can people connect also with your team
- [27:27]
Gary Lynam
on social media absolutely just type in human i mean we're everywhere yeah you
- [27:31]
Jim Kwik
really are all right gary thank you so much buddy i really appreciate you and your entire team thank you so much with us to building better better brains and and better bodies you know real real mission we could get behind
- [27:45]
Gary Lynam
appreciate what you guys are doing and the crazy part is this conversation needed to happen for a long time because what you do and what we do is they're just hand in hand it's right hand left hand yeah and by getting people to focus on physiological fascia health and mental health cognitive health at the same time you actually create a new human like you you feel like
- [28:07]
Jim Kwik
a new human i do i i feel i feel i can't even explain
- [28:11]
Alexis Bank
this yeah it's such a great alignment it just feels so good and thank you so much for being with us today thank you helping us get through you know our blockages it was amazing
- [28:23]
Jim Kwik
to see you and your team work the past few days here you know at this event so i want to thank everyone for tuning in again we'll put a link if you want to take a screenshot of where we're you're consuming this right now you can tag gary and the human garage alexis myself share one thing share feedback you know your before and after also as well we'll put a link again to everything that gary mentioned in our show notes at jimquik dot com notes make sure you subscribe to our youtube see extended version and the video of this as well and until our next episode remember to be limitless
