Episode #154: Danielle LaPorte: Nervous System Regulation, Spirituality, and the Pursuit of Longevity

<p dir="ltr">Did you know there is a connection between spirituality, a balanced nervous system and longevity? When it comes to biohacking, we focus primarily on the supplements we can take, the peptides we can use, and the different  technology we can implement into our daily life. But, what many of us forget, is that our mental wellbeing plays a huge role in our health. We can do all the biohacks we want, but if our mental health is not balanced, we’ll struggle to optimize our health and longevity…plus, the brain-gut connection is a real thing! </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">My guest today is here to discuss why there’s more to the pursuit of longevity than just biohacks and supplements.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">I’m joined by Danielle LaPorte, and we’re diving into the spiritual side of longevity and covering the corollary between the spiritual striving and the physical striving. We also discuss why a person's health history can be the key to healing, things you can do to eliminate any obstacles within your body, and how to balance your sympathetic nervous system with your parasympathetic nervous system. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Danielle LaPorte is a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 a group who, in Oprah Winfrey’s words, “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters.” Danielle is the creator of the Heart Centered Membership and the Heart Centered Leadership Program with 400+ leaders in 30 countries hosting conversation circles, retreats, and workshops in all kinds of communities and businesses.</p> <p><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>What we discuss:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">00:03:18: The light side and the shadow side of our obsession and pursuit of longevity </p> <p dir="ltr">00:09:43: The corollary between the spiritual striving and the physical striving</p> <p dir="ltr">00:14:36: The metaphors of the body</p> <p dir="ltr">00:19:24: The correlation between pain and fear </p> <p dir="ltr">00:26:01:
