THE FYX 035: Maximize Your Performance by Finding Your Flow State with Cory Camp

Cory Camp, is a personal performance coach that analyzes how our mindset affects the rest of our lives. Cory, like me, I grew up a swimmer. And for 18 years of his life, it was all he really knew. Upon graduating college and his Division I sports career ending, Cory realized he wasn't prepared for this whole "real life" thing. A year went by and he found himself lost, and 40 pounds heavier than when he'd graduated. That was the turning point and the moment he had to get his S*%^ together. Cory has spent every moment since turning his life around and reintroducing purpose and intention to it. Through fitness, lifestyle choices, and neuroscience, he's figured out a system that works to optimize life. Now he's passionate about helping other former athletes find their optimal plans to embody being a Forever Athlete. Cory and his clients tap back into the Athletic Mindset and how it can best serve us now, in the "real world." In this episode, we discuss: - What it means to find your “flow” state - How to successfully navigate your personal and professional path post-college athletics - The importance of being a beginner again--and embracing that position - The 22 flow triggers, some of which include: clear goals, intense listening, complete concentration, and shared goals - Cory's list of non-negotiables: sleep, a daily exercise practice, a daily mindfulness practice, and a daily gratitude practice This conversation is brought to you by Paleovalley. You know we're big lovers of the Paleovalley 100% grassfed beef sticks, but this week, we're focused on supplementation. Paleovalley's Apple Cider Vinegar Complex is a win-win for anyone interested in the benefits of apple cider vinegar without the burn. ACV supports better digestion and assists in breaking down amino acids in protein for improved absorption--and Paleovalley's ACV complex includes tumeric, ginger, lemon, and cinnamon, all of which are healing spices that aid in digestion as well. Apple cider vinegar has been shown to improve blood sugar response, [for more on the importance of stable blood glucose, check out THE FYX 029 with Dr. Casey Means] and the main ingredient, acetic acid, supports the body by extracting nutrients from food for intended use. ACV helps to maximize the fuel you use to work, train, and play every day.
