I was running Spartan races while my life was quietly falling apart.

In 2014, my dad told me he had cancer. The fire in his eyes was gone. I'd watched him give up years before, and when the diagnosis came, he didn't fight. He was gone in two and a half months.

After that, I went numb. My practice took a big hit. I stopped telling my wife what was really going on. I was hard on my kids. And I ran Spartan races, several a year, because at the finish line my body felt certain, even when nothing else did.
From the outside, I looked healthy. Supplements. Training. Doing all the right things.

On the inside, I was hiding, and waiting for someone to come save me. Just like my dad had.

It took me years to see it. And longer to do something about it.
What I've learned is that men care about their health. A lot. What scares us is being seen without having it all figured out. So we chase the next race, the next protocol, the next fix.

I still take the body seriously. That's my training. But I've learned that presence creates the state where healing can happen.

If you're the guy who looks fine and isn't, I see you. I was you.

So here's the question I wish someone had asked me at the end of one of those races: What are you chasing?

I've always started binders low and built up. So that's what I did with zeolite. One tablespoon.

Within a few days I could feel things moving, and I was having a hard time finding my words, which isn't something I usually deal with.

Jeff told me to take more, not less. Within a day or two it cleared. That's my experience, not a prescription, and Jeff explains why he thinks it works that way in the full episode. Search Restore the Real wherever you listen.

What if you don’t need a reason to feel joy?

We often wait for something outside of us to change before allowing ourselves to finally feel grateful, abundant, or whole. But what if you could cultivate those elevated emotions before anything in your life changed?

When you change your internal state, you stop waiting for the external world to determine how you feel. You begin creating from within.

New episode: Symptoms Are Signals 🎙️

Most of us treat symptoms like the enemy. Quiet it, cover it, move on. My guest Jeff Hoyt, founder of Zeolite Labs, sees it differently: your body is talking, and sometimes it's doing exactly what it should.

We get into:
• Why your body stores toxins to protect you, and what it needs before it lets them go
• Why you have to heal in order to detox, not the other way around
• The "dosing paradox" Jeff noticed with zeolite, and what happened when I tried it myself

Symptoms aren't the problem. They're the signal.

Jeff Hoyt made a point I don't hear often enough: a lot of us in natural health just traded pharmaceuticals for natural anti-inflammatories and kept doing symptom management. Better, sometimes helpful, but if you quiet the signal without asking why it's there, the issue can get pushed deeper and come back later.

When things get hard, a lot of men go quiet.

We get short. We get angry. We stop talking to the person we love most. I've done all three.

It's not because we don't want connection. I think it's what we want most. It's fear of being seen without having it all figured out, because so many of us measure our worth by what we produce, our bank account, the car we drive.

So we stay quiet and tell ourselves we're protecting her. But silence leaves her guessing. Guessing turns into doubt, and over time, a lack of trust.

Sharing what's going on isn't weakness. It's strength. When I share what's going on, it's like releasing a pressure valve. When your worth isn't tied to what you produce, it gets easier to let her in, and you can work through it as partners.

My wife has told me this directly. So have many of the women I work with. What they want most is for their husband to tell them what's going on.

Send this to someone you love.

There's a place for me in all of this. There's a place for you too.

Most of us stop at the first question.

We write down what we're grateful for, and then move on with the day. It helps a little. But it rarely changes how we feel.

The shift comes from the questions after it. Why am I grateful for this? How does it make me feel? Can I feel it right now?

That last one brings you back into the moment. Not thinking about gratitude, actually feeling it. That's presence, and presence is where better decisions come from.

I took this photo at a lake in Yellowstone at sunset. When I go through these four questions, this is one of the places I go back to.

Save this for the next time your mind won't slow down. Then try it with one thing today.

What's the one thing you'd start with?

Gratitude is only half of it.

We're told to write down what we're grateful for. That's a good start. But the shift happens when you go one step further.

Ask yourself three questions:
What am I grateful for?
Why am I grateful for it?
How does that make me feel, and can I feel it right now?

That last one is where it changes. You go back to the moment, you feel it again, and you're present. From a state of presence, you make better decisions, you show up the way you want, and you dream bigger.

I do this most days. Try it today with just one thing.

What came up for you?

Had to share this. Beautiful day connecting with patients. When my last person left, I felt such gratitude and wanted to listen to music. This frequency was the first thing that popped up. Titled "Grateful to be alive"
