Coffee Buzz Friday #69

On this week's episode, Harvey and Austin have a unique conversation around the idea of energy. Specifically, that there is a fundamental problem or misunderstanding about how the brain and body communicate based on available energy and energy efficiency. In fact, most Americans - even the majority of professional athletes - are metabolically inefficient. The duo discusses how energy is a feedback loop for survival (most of us are in survival mode) and decision making, as well as how the body will conserve energy at all costs when a person's energy systems are not efficient. This will lead our brain to only let the body spend energy when we "feel like it" a.k.a. highly motivated. The guys finish by explaining how our best self can be unlocked for abundance and vitality only through harnessing our energy - which is heavily understood through the mechanisms of breathing. Today's conversation may be helpful for any person who feels the desire to grow, yet is not finding the growth they had in mind - whether it's mental, physical, emotional, or even interpersonal.
