    The 3 Key Steps To Intuitive Eating, Ego Dissolution, Raising & Educating Children In A Modern Era & More With Paul Chek.

    The 3 Key Steps To Intuitive Eating, Ego Dissolution, Raising & Educating Children In A Modern Era & More With Paul Chek.

    For the third time, I've joined Paul Chek at his home hidden away in the hilly backcountry of San Diego, California to interview him. And this time we take a deep deep dive into topics such as intuitive eating, consciousness, ego dissolution, education models such as Waldorf and unschooling and much more!

    Paul is an internationally-renowned expert in the fields of corrective and high-performance exercise kinesiology. For over twenty-five years, his unique, holistic approach to treatment and education has changed the lives of countless people worldwide – many of his clients, his students and their clients.

    By treating the body as a whole system and finding the root cause of a problem, Paul has been successful where traditional approaches have consistently failed. Paul is the founder of the C.H.E.K (Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology) Institute, based in California, USA and the P~P~S Success Mastery Coaching Program.

    He is a sought-after presenter and has consulted for organizations such as the Chicago Bulls, Australia’s Canberra Raiders, New Zealand’s Auckland Blues, the US Air Force Academy and other elite organizations. He has produced over 60 DVDs and 17 advanced-level home study courses designed for the fitness and clinical professional. He is a strong believer in the essential role provided by practical training and has developed four Advanced Level Training programs to provide hands-on instruction for the exercise and health industries.

    Paul's CHEK Exercise Coach program introduces fitness and exercise professionals to an integrated approach to conditioning; the C.H.E.K Practitioner Program is a two to four year advanced level program teaching corrective exercise and high-performance conditioning; the Golf Performance Series focuses on functional conditioning for golfers; the Optimal Health and Fitness Through Practical Nutrition and Holistic Lifestyle Coaching Program contains three levels and shows how to reach optimal health from the inside out.

    Thousands of people worldwide have been trained in one or more of these challenging and elite level certification programs. Paul has also accrued three US patents for posture calibrating, hydrotherapy and equipment inventions, and has also designed several pieces of functional exercise equipment.

    In this episode with Paul Chek, you'll hear: -Why Paul became an espresso aficionado..4:30
    • Paul and his wife at one time worked 18+ hrs a day; espresso was an effective way to stay engaged and productive
    • Caregiver archetype
    • Studying functional medicine, Paul found people who had blood sugar issues had coffee on an empty stomach
      • Inflammation, hormone regulation issues
      • Logic doesn't work to get people to kick a bad habit
      • People have a deep emotional connection to coffee
    • Came across some time release vitamins; saw word "chelated" on the bottle
    • Saw a connection between chelation and coffee to help with above mentioned issues
    • Began using organic butter, nut butters, yak butter tea
    • Laird Hamilton was a fan out of the gate
    • Encouraged people to put something in their coffee and eat a bit of food first thing in the morning
    -Intuitive eating and a discussion on what is "God"..10:40
    • Difference between intuition and instinct:
      • Intuition is asking the totality of yourself a question and waiting for the answer
      • Only "God" can give you the soul; the soul is "God" in you
    • Ken Wilburn is known to be able to "stop" his brain (see video)
    • Book: Destructive Emotions by Dalai Lama
    • Scientifically speaking, "God" can only be defined as "zero"
    • Book: Stalking the Wild Pendulum by Itzak Bentov
    • Book: The Physics of Angels
    • "What we call spirits and angels is the flow of information and energy that is anthropomorphized" (human interpretation)
    • Eternity, not infinity, is the zero point that we call "God"
    • Intuitive eating: One empties their soul, then asks if a particular food is what they should eat that day. They'll receive the answer according to the energy they feel, positive or negative
    • "Human beings will continue to invent technologies outside themselves until they've either destroyed the planet or they've come to the realization that everything they've created outside of themselves is a copy of a technology that exists within themselves." --Rudolf Steiner
    -An alternative view of human DNA..28:55 -Soul connection and ego dissolution..42:40
    • Ego dissolution often occurs when people are in a deep crisis
    • Books by Viktor Schauberger
    • Book: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
    • Set aside preconceived notions, and allow your soul to speak to your body
    • YouTube video: The Hunza Diet
    • A British medical officer found that the Hunza people were regular smokers and drinkers with no apparent ill effect on their longevity
    • The psyche is more powerful than physiology
    • 3-step process on learning to be guided at 3 levels:
      • Diet logging
      • Muscle testing (duck bill muscle testing)
        • The body will not support a lie
        • Addictions and unbelief inhibit honest biological feedback
      • Listening to the soul
    • The biggest challenge to soul connection is a connection of the ego
    • You have to have legitimate spiritual courage
    • Supplements muffle the signals of the soul
    -Paul's thoughts on educating children..1:11:15
    • Ground children into the realities of the real world (meet halfway on buying toys)
    • Book: Parenting With Love and Logic
    • Education system designed to support the agricultural and industrial revolutions
    • BGF Podcast on Unschooling
    • Book: The Kingdom of Childhood: Introductory Talks on Waldorf Education
    • Steiner invented biodynamic farming, which has proven to be superior to other methods of farming
    • Minimum screen time, maximum engagement with the world and creative stimulants at a young age
    • We have a choice on how to raise our children: either allow screens and teachers or we can be proactive and use those as tools while retaining our role as primary educators

    Go Fact Yourself is coming to Chicago! Join us on August 9 & 10 at Sleeping Village. Visit gofactyourpod.com for tickets and details.

    Cristela Alonzo is a comedian and former guest on Go Fact Yourself. This week, she’s stepping in as the co-host! Her new book "Music to My Years" will be out in October.

    Jessica McKenna is known for the podcast "Off Book" where she and her co-host Zach Reino improvise a full musical with special guests… even if the guests aren’t totally aware of what’s going on when they first join the program. Jessica is also a voice-artist who’s cornered a very specific portrayal: scrappy ten-year-old boys. She’ll explain what’s behind her expertise.

    Jessica will face off against someone who also knows a lot about musicals: actor Anthony Rapp. He was part of the original cast of Rent and now stars on the CBS show "Star Trek: Discovery." You could say he’s a pretty accomplished guy, but he’ll tell us about his formative years where he got some unsolicited advice from legendary stage actor Yul Brynner.

    The guests will also discuss American presidents, contemporary films and denim jackets.

    What’s the Difference: Pay me back

    What’s the difference between "loan" and "lend?"

    What’s the difference between a charge card and a credit card?

    Areas of Expertise

    Jessica McKenna: American Presidents, the musical Hamilton and Christmas & Christmas movies

    Anthony Rapp: The Coen Brothers movies, the Chicago Cubs baseball team from the early 2000’s to the present and the Mass Effect video-game series.

    J. Keith van Straaten Cristela Alonzo Jessica McKenna Anthony Rapp

    Theme Song by Jonathan Green. Maximum Fun's Senior Producer is Laura Swisher. The show is edited by Julian Burrell.

    Ep. 39 - Parents Effecting Change

    Ep. 39 - Parents Effecting Change

    Every parents wants obedient kids.  This is a challenge, since all kids are different and they change quite frequently as they grow.  Parents who try the same approach, no matter the child, or the age, or the outcome desired... well, they don't get great results.  But if parents learn to work backwards: to analyze the effect desired and then study the situation to implement the cause that brings that about... it will make a world of difference!  Now, this means mom and dad have to own up to everything that hasn't gone well so far.  It is not the child's fault.  We have to coach it better.  This means parents may have to reevaluate the way they discipline and admit that they are being insane (trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results).  Fact:  if we as parents get better at parenting, the kids will get better at being awesome.  Take a listen!

    - How to identify the change you want to see in your children

    - How to identify the cause that will bring about that effect

    - How to own up to past mistakes as a parent and stop blaming the kids

    - How to base successful parenting on effects produced, not just on the act of discipline

    - How to realize the awesome equation: early + often = less

    Ep. 13 - Eye Level Parenting

    Ep. 13 - Eye Level Parenting

    Parents! We have work to do!  God has asked us to train our children to understand His authority.  We are showing them what it will be like as adults to be children of God.  Should that include yelling at kids?  Should that include ignoring bad behavior? Let's discuss that and employ one very specific tip that can make a huge difference in raising our children in the discipline and instruction of our great God!

    - Why you should stop yelling at your kids!

    - How to stop yelling at your kids and communicate with them more productively.

    - How to use eye level contact as a powerful tool to effect change in kids.

    - How to show your kids the authority of God by your behavior every day.

    - Why is it important to remain in control and also strong in disciplining children?

    Learn By Doing. Fail Faster. Succeed Faster; with Kevin Chen, Co-Founder of Italki

    Learn By Doing. Fail Faster. Succeed Faster; with Kevin Chen, Co-Founder of Italki

    Hindsight is 20/20. This week, Kevin Chen, tells us the hard lessons learned since ‘committing career suicide’; quitting his corporate life with Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, to building multiple start-ups before co-founding Italki, a leading language learning social network that connects students and teachers for language exchange and paid tutoring, which recently closed a US$3million round of funding.

    “Stay true to your vision –the investor doesn’t run your company, you do.” Kevin shares his learnings on recognizing bad deals, filtering out advice, and 'zooming out' to understand the different perspectives and motives of investors, entrepreneurs and advisors.

    Also, if you haven’t been to a Techyizhu event yet you're missing out on the hottest gatherings in Shanghai for the start-up community, including the bi-annual Barcamp and many more. Kevin is one of the founding fathers of Techyizu and touches on why they've been so successful with their non-profit and volunteer-only strategy and how you can get involved.

    Thanks to our sponsors Chinaccelerator, People-Squared, and our syndication partner Technode. A huge thanks to our Producer Vivian Law and Production Editor David Xu, and finally our listeners –Thank You!

    MK EP12: Coochie Coochie Coo (Empire, VMA's, SF Star sightings, Rentoby.com, Allys, Pickup Artists, Raising Dion, Judges Bribes & Juvenile Detention Centers, Kids for Cash, Jeard from Subway)

    Empire! Did you watch that crazy show- we're both caught up, and it's time to talk about Cookie! James is writing a book on the art of getting that special someone to fall in love with you... or just sleep with you, and it all involves one single word. The VMA's happened, we don't want to talk about it, but how can we not, with the surprising presidential announcement. Taylor Swift has given Nnekay more reason to call her basic.  James had a major star sighting (remember he watches a lot of Real World so set your bar low). We check in the world of allyship, and see how two different ally's are taking two very different approaches to creating visibility for Black folks. Two VERY... different approaches... one's a pickup artist.  Also the entire judicial system is even more fucked up then we thought, and it's starting early in the juvenile detention arena. Also today's quiz is going to look at the myths and truths around the Rentboy.com bust.
