    Misogi for beginners AMA

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.twopct.com A Misogi is an epic challenge with a 50/50 shot at failure. We do it each year to explore and expand our edges. I wrote about the concept of Misogi in The Comfort Crisis, and a Two Percent reader recently had a useful question about Misogi. Their question: * What’s a beginner Misogi? It’s a great question because Misogi is a practice everyone and anyone can and should do. In the video above, I answer the question and explain why Misogi is such an important practice to expand human potential, the historical precedence for Misogi, and more.

    Rucking meetings work miracles

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.twopct.com Today Michael is covering the power of rucking meetings. Taking meetings while walking with a weighted pack is one of the best ways to sneak in activity and improve your health, fitness, and mindset. \Walking and rucking meetings can decrease your risk of all-cause mortality by 40 percent and increase your work productivity by 8 to 60 percent. You’ll get powerful zone 1 and 2 exercise when you otherwise would have been sitting—and walking meetings don’t require you to take time out of your busy schedule for a traditional workout. But doing them right requires the right strategies and tactics. Michael will explain the six key strategies you must know to make rucking and walking meetings successful. He developed them over the last five years of regularly taking meetings while walking with weight. For full access to the episode, become a Member of Two Percent at TWOPCT.com.

  3. The downsides of blood tests and full-body MRIs

    The downsides of blood tests and full-body MRIs

    New companies allow us to go around doctors and get blood work that checks for 100+ biomarkers or a full-body MRI to scan for cancer when we don’t have symptoms. The idea of taking your health into your own hands and preventing disease with a direct-to-consumer test sounds perfect in theory. But there are some downsides to consider if you test yourself, and knowing those downsides can help you get better health outcomes from the test. To learn more, Michael chatted with Dr. Bobby Dubois—an M.D., researcher, and Ph.D. in health policy—about how we should think about direct-to-consumer blood tests and disease screenings. They cover: * Preventative tests that are currently available to consumers, from blood tests that check 100+ markers to full-body MRIs and blood screenings that detect cancer. * The upsides of these tests. * The differences between preventative, direct-to-consumer medical tests and doctor-ordered medical tests. * Why the results of medical tests and scans aren’t perfect, and how those imperfections can lead to unnecessary stress, costs, procedures, and your ability to get life insurance. * Understanding the math behind preventative blood testing—why you’re likely to have at least one blood marker out of range and why that can be misleading. * What to do if you get a direct-to-consumer test and it comes back with abnormalities. * How abnormalities in your results are like the credit card fraud alerts you get from your bank. * What the data says about routine screenings compared to preventative full-body MRIs and direct-to-consumer blood tests. * The three categories of cancer and how full-body MRIs are helpful for only one of them. * The counterintuitive downsides of catching a certain category of cancer with a full body MRI. * Questions to ask your doctor if they’d like you to get a medical test like a CAT scan, MRI, or special type of blood work. * Bobby’s final thoughts on direct-to-consumer preventative medical tests.

    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.

    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.

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.
