80% of primary care doctor visits are related to stress, irritable bowel syndrome, arrhythmias, anxiety, heart palpitations, all that stuff. So the key is how do I start self-regulating? Because you have a lot of young entrepreneurs that work with you and they're driven.
When you start to learn the self-regulation techniques that I'm going to teach you today is you can be driven, but you can also find that flow state. We've all been in the zone, but I ask people, well, how do you get in the zone? What we teach you is scientifically how to get in the zone anytime, anywhere.
And when you can do that, you're managing the internal chemistry of the body that helps you remain healthy in the state of flow, helps your brain work better, and helps everything function better.
Well, I think the main shift is because so many of us are so driven. A lot of CEOs and high performers are type A personalities. And we have this mindset that if we just do more, we're going to achieve more. But we're not managing our energy in the process. And so what happens is we just go, go, go, go until we burn out.
And then when we burn out, we're like, well, that's just part of being a CEO or a high performer. It's just kind of expected energy. And in reality, that's the old way of doing it. The new way of doing it is start managing your energy instead of managing your time.
Well, it's something that you just said a minute ago, and I'm going to touch on that, and then I'll build onto it from there. You said, I never had that problem, but Rudy, you're still pretty young.
Oh, exactly.
I'll just tell you a quick story. So I have a client who is in their late 50s and he was telling me, well, I have high blood pressure, but my life is great. I don't have a lot of stress. I have this great job. I'm a Vistage coach and I'm a consultant for other people. My family life is great. And I said, well, how was your life the last 25 years?
And he said, I was running companies and I was selling them and I was stressed out. And I said, well, that's the challenge is that you spend so many years being stressed out, but now you have this really great life.
But you wired your nervous system for go, go, go, go, otherwise known as fight or flight. And when you wire your nervous system like that, it's going to break down eventually because what we see is 80% of primary care doctor visits are related to stress. Mm-hmm. irritable bowel syndrome, arrhythmias, anxiety, heart palpitations, all that stuff.
And so if we've been running, running, running at that pace for a long time, we're going to start breaking down. So the key is how do I start self-regulating? Because you have a lot of young entrepreneurs that work with you and they're driven. When you start to learn the self-regulation techniques that I'm going to teach you today is you can be driven, but you can also find that flow state.
You're an athlete. I'm an athlete. Probably a lot of people that are listening to this are athletes. We've all been in the zone, but I ask people, well, how do you get in the zone? And they usually say, oh, I slept good the night before. I had a good meal or something like that. What we teach you is scientifically how to get in the zone anytime, anywhere.
And when you can do that, you're managing the internal chemistry of the body that helps you remain healthy in the state of flow, helps your brain work better and helps everything function better.
Yeah. Great. Great question. So I was a driven person and I was just I kept climbing the corporate ladder. And then at one point I end up I was a fifth employee of a company in Austin, Texas, by the name of Sonio Solutions. We were a creative services agency.
We bootstrapped the company, and we said, we're not going out for any funding, and we're going to work with the biggest clients in the world. And at that time, it was IBM, 3M, Dell, Hewlett-Packard. I joined the team, fifth employee of the company, and our goal, being one of Inc. 's 5,000 fastest companies, we did it. And we did it in three years.
And it all sounds great and I had a great life and I had a great car and a boat and a house and threw parties all the time, but inside I was breaking down. And when I went to the doctor, the doctor said, your adrenal glands are shot, your cortisol, stress hormone, cortisol levels are through the roof. And here's the traditional way of dealing with it, which a lot of us know is taking medications.
I didn't want to take medications. I already had a pretty good diet. And I started to just figure out my way. I became a yoga instructor. I became a living food chef. I was a living food raw foodist for five years thinking that was going to fix it. But when I went to IBM's headquarters, I couldn't strike a downward dog or eat an apple and expect my stress to go away.
I had to find something different. That's when I discovered biohacking. And when I discovered biohacking, I went for HRV biohacking because the heart is the master switch inside the body. 90% of the information is sent to the heart, from the heart to the brain, and 10% is sent down through the vagus nerve.
So if your heart is beating like this because you're under pressure all the time, it's sending a signal to the brain that tells the brain, danger, danger, I'm in fight or flight. So you're living in that. And then the prefrontal cortex, which is where we make our decisions, we call this the CEO of the brain, it shuts down. So we can't think as clearly.
Because when you're in stress, it's not a time to solve problems or get creative. Right. And so when I started to learn how to biohack and I could go give big presentations at IBM's headquarters or Dell's headquarters to big vice presidents of the company, if I felt nervous, I could start biohacking, connect on a deeper level.
