    Circadian rhythms deep dive part I

    Circadian rhythms—the 24-hour cycles humans evolved to live and function under—are a hot topic in health and wellness right now. But the field of circadian science also contains a lot of junk science and advice. Michael spoke with Lynne Peeples, author of the new book The Inner Clock, to get the most helpful, high-impact information around circadian rhythms. You’ll learn: * Why modern life works against our natural circadian rhythms. * The link between circadian rhythms and disease, depression, and decreased athletic performance. * Low-effort, high-impact ways to improve your circadian biology. This advice can help you lose weight, sleep and perform better, and more. * How Lynne would design an ideal day around circadian rhythms. * What to do if you ever work late nights (which can be hell for your circadian biology). * Myths about circadian rhythms (this one was fun). * Lynne’s insane personal experiment around circadian rhythms. * The impact of daylight savings time and why we should kill it.

    Gear Not Stuff: Cold weather exercise gear

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.twopct.com People tend to be less active in winter because of cold temperatures—and that hurts our fitness and metabolic and mental health. But the problem isn’t the cold. The problem is gear. We often don’t know the right outdoor exercise apparel and how to layer it as a system to stay warm and dry. This episode covers seven rules of exercising outdoors this winter and teaches you how to build the perfect system to stay warm. Michael also reveals his seven favorite pieces of cold-weather exercise gear. The result: You’ll exercise outside more this winter, which will help you stay healthy and fit, avoid winter blues and weight gain, and even sleep better.

    3 mindset lessons from the Don't Die event

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.twopct.com Two Percent recently held the Don’t Die event in the desert outside of Las Vegas. We covered all sorts skills that are critical for survival in hostile situations at home and abroad. Everything from escaping handcuffs, hotel security, Don’t Die fitness, getting information from others, driving techniques, and staying fit, healthy, and sane in the trenches of daily life. The course included lessons about mindset. That’s because your mindset determines how you express critical skills, live well, and survive. This could include surviving a natural disaster, a dangerous situation during travel, or even a scary health diagnosis. Today, Michael is covering three mindset lessons from that event. They’ll help you stay safe, reach goals, and live longer and better.

  6. Hooked on election coverage

    Hooked on election coverage

    Most people will tune into U.S. election coverage this week—often compulsively and to the detriment of their time and sanity. Election coverage has become just like a slot machine. It can pull us into The Scarcity Loop, the most powerful habit loop for sucking us into behaviors we repeat over and over and later regret. Michael will explain the architecture of The Scarcity Loop and how it affects our time and attention this U.S. election week. The result: You’ll learn what you can do to avoid the election Scarcity Loop and stay sane this week. Or, at least, do something more productive than obsessively monitoring an outcome you can’t change once you’ve voted. This is a public episode.

    Burn the Ships: November '24 Edition

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.twopct.com It’s the first Friday of the month. This means it’s time for Burn the Ships, Two Percent’s monthly, highly effective workout. Over the next couple of months, the holidays may throw your routine off the rails with extended time traveling, entertaining, and prepping for the holidays. So this month’s Burn the Ships workout is an antidote to that. * You don’t need gear. All it takes is your body weight. * You can do it anywhere. Anywhere at all. * A bedroom, a garage, a driveway, a backyard, a living room, a hotel room, a hotel gym, a jail cell … you get the point. * You don’t need much time—it takes just 35 minutes. In short: It recognizes that the holidays are busy and meets us where we’re at. But it still allows us to stay in killer shape and fight back against the shortage of movement and excess of food the holidays often bring. To Burn the Ships with us, become a Member of Two Percent.
