- 7Episode 6: “Letting Go” with Coach Jeffery CombsAddiction can disguise itself in many ugly little ways. We can see addiction as procrastination, shopping when we're upset, eating our feelings and of course, addictions to drugs or alcohol. But did you know that we can also be addicted to certain emotions?In almost all cases of addiction, there comes an all time low, or what many of us know as, rock bottom. Jeff hit rock bottom after two years of drug and alcohol abuse. He felt lost, helpless, angry and disconnected. Can you relate to this pain? Have you reached your rock bottom?Today, we speak to Jeffrey Combs, a man who has a very personal relationship with addiction and recovery.

- 8Episode 7: Food For Thought: Best Brain Foods for Improving Brain Function, Mental Clarity and ConcentrationDo you often experience brain fog, low concentration or trouble articulating things? Do you sometimes find yourself enjoying a diet high in cheeseburgers, chips, ice cream and other not so healthy, yet delicious foods?Fun fact: the phrase, "Food for thought" came about from a 16th century Dutch philosopher who said, "Nor try to put courteous conversation into the minds of impudent men, for speech is the food of thought."Today, I'm going to attack this "Food for thought" phrase in a more literal sense. Our diet plays a crucial role in our thoughts and brain function, even while we are asleep. It sends out necessary hormones and healing functions to repair, restore and detox our bodies. The best way we can support our brain function is to fuel it well because what we put into our bodies is what we get out. Understanding what foods to eat will give you a jump start on improving your gut health, balance hormone levels to optimize performance, allowing us to think more clearly, be more creative and consciously be more present.
