Pain Relief via the Eyes: Incredibly Effective Neurological Approaches for Improving Health w/ Abe Al-Baba

We've all heard that "the eye is the window to the soul," but have you heard of strategically utilizing the visual system to get rid of pain, improve emotions and normalize countless health conditions that are otherwise difficult to treat? Today's conversation with Abe Al-Baba will knock your socks off with both the education he provides and the anecdotes he shares with how he helps his clients reach peak performance and/or improve their overall health status. This is one of the more interesting conversations I've had in quite some time!Abe and I met at the HYDRATE Summit that was put on by Tracy Duhs a couple of weekends ago. We were there to learn about water, but he and I got to talking and soon discovered that we shared countless other mutual interests. After hearing about his novel techniques for successfully helping his clients, some of which are seemingly beyond simplistic (but have deep neurological basis), I knew I had to have him on the podcast so that he could share his knowledge and stories with you all. He even walked me through a couple of quick assessments/treatments that I can use on myself, including how to treat my vagus nerve with red light therapy! Isn't that something we could all benefit from in this fast-paced, high-stress world we live in?Abe Al-Baba is the author of Fuel Your Performance™ and CEO of 3 in 1 Elite, a sports performance company. His absolute passion is paving the way to a healthy lifestyle through fitness and nutrition. Abe is one of San Diego’s Top Trainer’s by Discover/Pacific SD Magazine. Over the past decade, he has really embraced the power of neuroscience. With a thorough assessment he unravels specific components that hold you back, ultimately coming up with individualized drills that give your unique brain better input. Furthermore, his book, "Fuel Your Performance," helps any and all optimize their performance.I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Abe.
