How to biohack your nervous system for longevity

Summary   This week I'm joined by Jim Bostock aka The Needle Guy to discuss the power of the nervous system in healing pain and helping the body to stay mobile longer.    He has helped thousands of people like Tony Robbins, Boy George, Sheppard, and elite athletes to release their pain and achieve physical and career longevity.   Jim shares his journey of developing a unique needling method and explains how it can reboot the nervous system and alleviate pain.   He emphasizes the importance of understanding the emotional and physical components of pain and how they are interconnected and provides examples of how nerve locks can cause and replicate pain in different areas of the body.   We also discuss the impact of stress on the body and the role of belief in the healing process. Jim believes that nerve locks are the main cause of pain and by releasing them, the body can heal and function properly.   He explains the importance of finding the right treatment for each individual and not accepting pain as a normal state. He also provides tips for longevity, such as stretching, breathwork, and managing stress hormones.     Chapters   00:00 Introduction and Appreciation 01:29 The Journey of Developing a Needling Method 07:13 The Intelligent Nervous System 10:37 The Role of Nerve Locks in Pain Replication 14:17 The Impact of Stress on Pain and Healing 23:53 The Truth of the Body 26:29 The Body's Resistance 29:41 The Power of Belief 30:57 Relieving Pain and Helping People 39:36 Understanding Nerve Locks 45:52 Treating Hip Bursitis and Tendinopathy 51:08 The Impact of Nerve Locks on Training and Recovery 58:26 Managing Stress Hormones for Longevity 01:04:10 Living Well Longer and Enjoying Life   Links   Jim's website: https://bostockinstitute.com/ Instagram: @jim_bostock  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bostockinstitute  You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsYE_5BJghplJ8KCKF-dBMg    HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
