How Analyzing Movement Can Uncover Your True Self | Andrew Daniel | Better Man Podcast Ep. 074

Why Practicing Gratitude Will Boost Your Happiness (And How To Start) | Dean Pohlman | Better Man Podcast Ep. 073

Humans are hardwired to focus on the negative. This “biological glitch” saved us from tiger attacks in the past—but it causes unnecessary suffering today. It’s unnatural to focus on the good things, which is why practicing gratitude is both so difficult and rewarding.

But you know what? The more you practice gratitude, the easier it becomes. And the easier it becomes, the more your quality of life skyrockets.

The Booby Trap of Self-Help (And How To Actually Improve Your Life) | Andrew Daniel | Better Man Podcast Ep. 072

SThe self-help industry is a massive industry. And for good reason: Self-help can teach you how to be the cause in your life rather than the effect. It shows you that you can change your life’s direction and outlook.

But what if self-help doesn’t work for you? What if you’ve read all the books, and still find yourself stuck?

Trusting In The Process Even When You’re Not Seeing Results | Dean Pohlman | Better Man Podcast Ep. 071

When we start something new—whether a new financial plan, fitness regimen, or diet protocol—there’s a period that happens a few weeks in when we haven't seen results, and start doubting ourselves.

In fact, this is the #1 reason many people give up on new plans too soon. They let their doubts consume them, and convince them to switch to another new plan, only to repeat the cycle again in a few weeks.

Well, first you need to understand that following a new plan without seeing results sucks. But it’s a crucial part of the process.

Is A Plant-Exclusive Diet Really Better Than Eating Meat? | Adam Sud | Better Man Podcast Ep. 070

Should you try switching to a plant-based diet? Is it really that much better than eating meat? What are the unique benefits—and common pitfalls—of a vegan diet?

These are all questions I wanted to ask nutritional expert Adam Sud on Episode 68 of the Better Man Podcast. But we ran out of time because his story of conquering diabetes, substance abuse, and mental health problems was too captivating.

From Couch Potato To Daily Yoga: How Man Flow Yoga Made 62-Year-Old Glenn Happier, Healthier, and More Confident (Member Highlight: Glenn L.)

Glenn went from zero activity for 30 years to noticing a bizarre feeling after making his daily yoga routine a habit: He started feeling really, really great. Better than he’s felt through his 40’s and 50’s—as a 62-year-old man.

Not only did his body feel great, but his posture improved too (something his wife always complained about to him because working at a desk for 30 years causes all sorts of postural problems).

But his physical health isn’t the only thing he improved with the help of Man Flow Yoga…

Overcoming Substance Abuse, Depression, and Diabetes | Adam Sud | Better Man Podcast Ep. 068

In 2012, Adam Sud lived a completely different life than he does today: He weighed 350 lbs, had diabetes, and was at risk for heart disease. He suffered from substance abuse disorder, depression, and anxiety.

Despite the emotional and spiritual pain that coursed through him, he discovered that his life was worth living. Plus, he realized that nothing was wrong with him… and that his substance abuse was exactly what his biology wanted him to do.

This realization led Adam to trying a series of 30-day experiments on himself to intentionally reorganize his life. And to prove to himself that he was worthy of feeling fully alive.
