Men have a tendency to believe that their sexual health is an optional part of their overall health. But, as you’ll learn in this episode, it’s actually an essential part to holistic wellness. Why don’t more men talk about it then? Well, most of us were raised in a way that either neglected the role sexual health plays in overall wellness or completely stigmatized sexual desire as “bad.” This mistake carries significant consequences for men: They feel intense shame around sexual desire, their se...

Everyone knows that working out consistently is one of the most important things you can do for your longevity, your health, and your mood. But knowing this doesn’t make working out any easier.

Turns out, there are certain emotional saboteurs—in the form of limiting beliefs and insidious, subconscious mindsets—that wreck your “fitness quotient,” or FQ - before you even begin! But perhaps nobody el...

(Don’t believe me? I go through a truncated version of his mindset protocol d...
