    You Might Also Like: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    Introducing Alex O’Connor: #1 Shift That Stops Endless Overthinking (FINALLY Get Unstuck) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty What if certainty is what’s actually keeping you stuck? Today Jay sits down with philosopher and creator Alex O’Connor for a deeply thought-provoking conversation about consciousness, certainty, religion, and the questions that quietly shape the way we live. Alex opens up about growing up rebellious, struggling in school, and feeling disconnected from traditional systems before discovering philosophy and the search for truth. Together, they explore why so many people feel pressure to have life figured out too early, and why curiosity, self-awareness, and the willingness to question your beliefs may matter more than having all the answers. Jay and Alex unpack the mysteries of the human mind, the illusion of self, the limits of science, and humanity’s fear of death. Drawing from neuroscience, philosophy, and Eastern traditions, Alex challenges the idea that life can be fully explained through logic alone, while reflecting on how uncertainty can lead to deeper understanding rather than fear. This episode is an invitation to think beyond labels and rigid beliefs, and a reminder that some of life’s most meaningful discoveries begin when we stop pretending we’re certain about everything. In this episode you'll learn: How to Find What You’re Truly Good At How to Think Beyond Traditional Success How to Question Your Deepest Beliefs How to Balance Logic and Intuition How to Stop Living on Autopilot How to Become Comfortable With Uncertainty Your doubts don’t make you weak, they make you human. And sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit you’re still learning, while continuing to search for truth, purpose, and peace along the way. If you’re ready to question everything you thought you knew about consciousness, religion, truth, and what it means to be human, Alex O’Connor’s Within Reason podcast is where philosophy becomes deeply personal.

    #35: Nervous System Regulation: How Stress Impacts Your Health

    What if your body isn't broken, it's just stuck in survival mode? In this episode of Altered States Unplugged, we're talking about the system that controls your stress, sleep, energy, mood, digestion, recovery, focus, and performance: your nervous system. We break down what it actually means to be in fight or flight, why rest and digest is where your body repairs, and how chronic stress can keep you feeling tired, wired, anxious, overwhelmed, or just plain off. You'll also learn how tools like HRV tracking, float therapy, sauna, cold plunge, red light therapy, breathwork, morning sunlight, and consistent sleep routines can help train your nervous system to become more resilient. Plus, we recently launched nervous system scans at Altered States Wellness so you can stop guessing and start understanding what your body actually needs.

    #34: Next-Level Sauna Hacks That Upgrade Your Recovery

    *]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" data-turn-id= "request-WEB:6c5e0678-faaf-4992-a55c-a53fdecc5002-4" data-testid= "conversation-turn-10" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-turn= "assistant"> What if your sauna session wasn't just helping you unwind… but actually upgrading your entire system? Like… better energy, faster recovery, calmer mind, stronger stress response… all from something you're already doing. In this episode of Altered States Unplugged, we're diving into how to turn your sauna session from a nice little sweat into a full-on nervous system reset, recovery accelerator, and performance tool. Because here's the truth no one talks about: the sauna isn't just relaxing… it's a controlled stressor. And when you use it intentionally, you can actually train your body to handle stress better, recover faster, and show up with more energy. We're breaking down the science in a way that actually makes sense… from heat shock proteins and circulation to detox pathways and electrolyte balance. But don't worry, we keep it real too. Like… yes, we are those people wearing sauna hats now. Yes, we know how it looks. No, we will not be stopping anytime soon. Because staying in longer without overheating your brain? Game changer. We also get into contrast therapy (hello cold plunge), breathwork in the sauna, and a few next-level strategies that can take your results from "that felt good" to "I think my entire system just upgraded." If you're into biohacking, but also want it to feel approachable, doable, and actually enjoyable… this episode is your sweet spot. Because feeling better shouldn't feel complicated. But it can be a little extra. 😉     Book a session today at https://alteredstateswellness.com.

    #33: From Sobriety to Studio Ownership: The Story Behind Our Euless Location

    Some spaces are built from blueprints. This one was built from lived experience. In this episode of Altered States Unplugged, we sit down with Richie and Nicole, the owners of our newest Altered States Wellness location in Euless, Texas. What we expected to be a conversation about construction timelines turned into something much deeper. We talk about anxiety. Sobriety. Losing more than 100 pounds. The discipline it takes to rebuild your life one decision at a time. This studio was not created because wellness is trending. It was created because transformation happened first inside their own family. You'll hear why accessibility matters so much to them, why this location will include a sober bar and Soberokee nights, and how their daughter Bri stepping in as General Manager adds another layer of intention around emotional regulation and relational health. Yes, Euless will feature float therapy, Fire and Ice contrast, red light, and an immersive salt cave experience with halotherapy. But what makes this location special is not the equipment. It is the story behind it. If you are in a season of rebuilding, waiting, or quietly doing the work no one sees yet, this episode will resonate. Press play and hear how personal transformation became the foundation for something bigger.

    #32: Why You're Doing Everything Right and Still Feel Exhausted

    You're checking all the boxes: eating well, exercising, prioritizing sleep, and trying to "take better care of yourself." And yet, the exhaustion won't go away. In this episode, we unpack why chronic fatigue and burnout often persist even when you're doing everything right. The issue isn't motivation, discipline, or another habit you need to optimize. It's what's happening in your nervous system. We explore how prolonged stress keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight, why traditional rest doesn't always lead to recovery, and how high-functioning individuals are especially prone to this kind of quiet burnout. You'll learn why your body may feel constantly "on," even when your mind wants to slow down, and what it actually takes to restore energy at a physiological level. If you feel tired no matter how much you rest, wired but exhausted, or frustrated that healthy habits aren't working the way they used to, this episode will help you understand the root cause and where to begin shifting out of survival mode and into true recovery.
