Regardless of what path you want to walk to microdose your adversity, you have to understand that every journey starts with one step. A lot of people are reluctant to take that first step because they feel intimidated or that they've failed themselves for far too long and something I hear people say all the time is, 'I want to get in shape first before I try this.' If that's the headspace you're in, you're telling yourself a lie because the time to try doing something to improve your wellbeing is right now in the body that you're currently occupying and start to figure out that journey as who you are today. - Greg Anderson Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE --- Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.

Cured Nutrition Belcampo Meat Co PaleoValley breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show America Divided By Fear "The fact that the government is moving to restrict all of these freedoms is unsettling but the most bizarre thing that we've seen is they're doing it in a way where citizens are doing it and enforcing it amongst each other. So, the government has created this state of fear that is so great that if you don't fall in line with it, other people are coming after you. Other people are going to confront you. Other people are going to report you." - Greg Anderson Microdosing Adversity 101 "I microdose my adversity a hundred different ways. I sit in hot saunas, I spend time in freezing water, I train hard, I do martial arts. Restricting what you eat is just another way of putting your body through a little adversity. Since the beginning of time, the human experience wasn't eating three meals a day and having your digestive tract plugged full 24/7. No; it was feast and famine. You'd kill an animal and get to gorge for awhile and then guess what? Winter comes and none of your crops are growing and the hunts aren't going as well as you had hoped and you're going to go through some periods where you don't have food in abundance. It's natural and it's healthy but now that we don't have that experience based on our lifestyle, we have to implement that on our own." - Greg Anderson Building Physical Resiliency To Illness "As soon as you're done with that run, HIIT workout, or spent some time in cold water, do you regret that microdosed adversity? No; it's and instant reward and your body knows it. And you don't have to have an elite level of fitness to beat COVID-19. You just have to have a body that functions well and is running on good nutrients. Why aren't we talking about that in the mainstream media?" - Greg Anderson Links From Today's Show 350 Greg Anderson Greg Anderson IGTV: Are you doing the right thing?
