Training a Competitive Mindset
Jun 24, 202100:27:07Tap to summarizeIf you only train in a certain way, with a particular mindset to practice being “present, calm and confident” does that mean you will find it hard to do anything but that same response in competition? In this episode I talk about the benefits of using my approach to training your mind and body to connect at high levels of power, efficiency, performance, and why this approach is best for most people. And the flip side to this conversation is how you can then still tap into the aggressive or adrenaline response of “fighting” in competition when needed. Key points are a trigger phrase I use and recommend – “No effort, just movement” Increasing your level of mental and physical thresholds require a very controlled approach You can’t train out your instincts and stress responses when you change your story, you will respond as per your story This is a quick recap of some conversations with clients, but the pathway to understanding and implementing the benefits and further understanding the techniques and bigger picture is much broader and longer. Take the journey with me, I will help you understand performance and health like you never thought possible, but only if you dare ?. That’s what the discovery call is for, to see if we align. www.liveyourownfit.com

Transcribe →Aerobic Health & Performance | How To Improve It?
Jun 15, 202100:29:37Tap to summarizeIf you have ever done ANYTHING to follow lifestyle improvements, breathing or mindset techniques, ANYTHING that is considered a healthier choice (by me haha) you are unknowingly doing something to either increase oxygen levels in the cell, or at least doing something that reduces oxygen levels by the least. Your poor lifestyle and habits are lowering your cellular oxygen. Low oxygen levels create a more ANAEROBIC environment in your mitochondria, where energy production occurs. The worst thing for health, for all living things on earth, is chronic low levels of oxygen. Aerobic is Health | Anaerobic is increased stress products, poor health, & inefficient energy. Oxygen is Key to Life Inflammation lowers cellular oxygen Stress lowers cellular oxygen Very brief anaerobic exercise can be good (for some), but I’m talking about long term aerobic or anaerobic environments. If you want to feel better, get fitter, be healthier, or perform better in everything you do, you need more oxygen in your cells. I let you know how I got ‘fitter’ without even exercising. I explain deeper theories around aerobic and MAF exercise, and how breathing rate is more important than heart rate. 1 Breathing influences cellular oxygen 2 inflammation lowers cellular oxygen 3 Oxidative stress lowers cellular oxygen 4 Stress lowers cellular oxygen All life on earth needs oxygen. At the top of everything your lifestyle habits are trying to change/improve, they are all under the category of “ways to increase oxygen in your cells and mitochondria”

Transcribe →Why Muscles Cramp
Jun 3, 202100:18:18Tap to summarizeAn original look at WHY MUSCLES CRAMP, by Ironman World Champion & Health/Performance Coach Pete Jacobs. Driven by passion to understand his fatigue and health issues he had encountered since his teenage years, Pete has discovered that most ailments can be explained through the lens of ENERGY PRODUCTION processes. And no ailment is more obviously linked to the need for efficient energy production than the actual act of moving a muscle which clearly uses energy to do so! ENERGY IS ATP [Adenosine Triphosphate]. ATP is produced in the mitochondria through a combination of factors. And it is how these combination of factors are available or limited that changes the ability to produce ATP & move a muscle. The result of missing some factors that allow efficient energy production can be an overload of stress and a massive reduction in ATP production, and therefore NO ENERGY TO MOVE THE MUSCLE and the muscle spasms and CRAMPS. The main factors that cause cramps. LOW ENERGY PRODUCTION Low oxygen – over-breathing (like hyperventilating), inflammation, Low minerals – electrolytes – Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium Inflammation – food, illness, stress, high blood sugar. Oxidative stress – from exercising too hard (or too long). Repetitive neural fatigue. Listen to the podcast to get more details and some more explanations on how to fix your cramps, and if it helps please leave a review on Apple podcast app, or google reviews 🙂 thanks for listening. Free ebook here for more about how your body works, how to get more energy, how to perform better and have less fatigue!

He started his path in healing others, as a community pharmacist, yet after several years he found himself a patient of stress-related depression and ulcerative colitis. This was a wake-up call that made him embark on a journey of profound self-healing and education. Known internationally as the Renegade Pharmacist, Niraj is dedicated to educating others on topics of holistic health, breathwork, meditation, and more. In addition to his website and blog therenegadepharmacist.com, he has created many other brands related to health and healing.
