    Fresh Off Vacation… Doing Everything Right, and Still Felt Off

    Send us a text Fresh Off Vacation… Doing Everything Right, and Still Felt Off High-performing bodies don’t usually break down overnight. They drift. Tightness that doesn’t release. Fog that doesn’t lift. Rest that doesn’t actually reset the system. In this episode, I break down a real case study from my practice with a driven, capable client who came in feeling tight, tired, and mentally “blah” — even after vacation. No injury. No burnout crash. Nothing obviously wrong. Just a body stuck in protection mode. We unpack what was really happening, why pushing harder would have made it worse, and how syncing the mind and body helped his nervous system let go and come back online fast — without force, grind, or overcorrection. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why “feeling fine” is often the earliest red flag for high performers  • The difference between recovery and true nervous system downshifting  • How mental pressure shows up physically as upper-back bracing and shallow breathing  • Why rest doesn’t reset when the body doesn’t feel safe  • How to use breath, awareness, and simple movement to stop bracing and restore clarity  • The key pattern high performers miss when they stop dissociating but don’t know what to do next This episode is for parent-professionals who are doing the work, showing up, and still feel off in a way they can’t explain — and want a clear, grounded way to read what their body is signaling before things get louder.

Patrick sits down with mentor and EMG pioneer David Lemke to expose what actually breaks performance and how to fix it fast.

In this episode you’ll learn: Why isolation training and mirror muscles cap your resultsThe hamstring-first firing truth (and what it means for your core)How to correct the core twist and stop compensationsThe adductors/abductors mistake draining your glutes (and power)Simple upgrades: uneven surfaces, knees-out band work, laughter to activate TVA (yes, really)If willpower worked, you’d be done by now.

    Hydration, Grounding & Fast-Twitch Gains w/ Josh Holland (Biohacking that Actually Sticks)

    Send us a text Celebrity trainer and biohacking Swiss-army-knife Josh Holland joins me to demystify the two lowest-effort, highest-return upgrades most high performers skip: true hydration and grounding then stacks on electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to wake up stubborn muscle groups and fast-track strength. Expect simple protocols you can run today (no guru gear required) and the mindset shifts that keep them sticky.  In this episode you’ll learn: Hydration ≠ more water: Why your body needs minerals (electrolytes) to conduct, recover, and focus and a starter mix you can make at home.Grounding 101 (without the woo): What it does for inflammation, blood viscosity, and nervous system load and when to avoid overdoing it on BP meds.Are you actually grounded? Three ways to test: continuity tester (yes/no), a voltmeter (watch your body voltage drop), and a resistance meter for finer reads.Feet, fascia, and flow: Why intrinsic foot strength changes your whole-body “signal” during grounding and movement.EMS, explained: DC vs. AC current, waking up fast-twitch fibers, and pairing suits with smart movement so results translate off the mat.Belief > burnout: How pros sabotage by over-giving and the alignment fix that stops the “do more to prove more” spiral.Tools & mentions: Baja Gold Ocean Minerals; baking soda + minerals + sparkling (CO₂) to form magnesium bicarbonate; grounding mats/sheets; continuity tester, voltmeter, “sure-ground” style meter; Vivobarefoot; EMS training suits. About Josh: Celebrity fitness & health optimization coach; host of Simply Walk the Talk; author of The Awareness Shift: Unearth the Five Pillars of Optimal Health & Wellness (quality awareness, rest, consumption, movement, environment).
