The "fight or flight" response to stress is a necessity for survival. When that response is stuck in the on position, it is classified as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We often limit PTSD to military returning from war, or the result of a traumatic experience such as rape. However, neglect, abandonment or living out of scarcity can create a perpetual fight or flight response. Dr. Eugene Lipov has created a technique that allows the brain to reset its hormone levels to the pre-trauma state, alleviating symptoms of PTSD.

In this session, we discuss why I choose not to drink. Some of this is related to family history and perhaps faith plays a bit of a role, but ultimately this decision comes down to performance and attaining my goals.

We talk about the difference between mobility and flexibility, how each play in training, and when to train both.
