Though the story of Emily and Paul, a working couple with different job situations, the author shows how to better organize, prioritize, remember, and process our working lives. Explores such issues as why our brains feel so taxed, and how to maximize our mental resources; why changing behavior is so difficult - and how to make it less so; why focusing on problems doesn't seem to create the desired change; and how concentration and focus change the brain, and how to maintain energy and productivity at work.
Our in-breath is like a remote control for our brains, directly affecting electrical signals that communicate with memory and emotional processing centers.

The ability to determine the mental state of others — what they know, perceive, believe, or intend — is known as "theory of mind." This ability is important to social interactions, in which one must understand another's behavior and his or her underlying intentions.Theory of mind develops during toddlerhood in humans. However, it remains unclear whether nonhuman primates also have theory of mind or whether it is a uniquely human ability.
Bania and Stromberg (2013, Journal of Comparative Psychology) (PDF, 119KB) addressed this question by testing whether western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) are able to recognize another individual's attention and use this information to predict behavior. Gorillas had to gesture to one of two experimenters standing in front of them to receive a food reward. Only gestures toward the experimenter who was looking at (and therefore attending to) the gorilla were rewarded.
Gorillas were more likely to choose the experimenter whose body was oriented toward them but looking away versus the experimenter whose body was oriented away but looking toward them (Figure C), suggesting that gorillas were using body orientation to guide their decisions. However, when body orientation was neutral (experimenters stood sideways; Figure B), gorillas relied on head orientation and tended to choose the experimenter facing them.

“If we don’t reconnect with nature, we will just destroy it again.”Zach Bush MD
In my humble opinion, Zach Bush, MD isn’t just one of the most compelling medical minds currently working to improve our understanding of human and environmental health. He’s a virtuoso healer. A master consciousness. And a gift to humanity.
Today Dr. Bush returns to the podcast (his first appearance was RRP #353 in March of 2018) for a formidable and moving conversation that will leave you rethinking not only how you eat and live, but what it means to be a conscious consumer and engaged citizen of this precious planet we all share.
A pioneer in the science of well-being, Dr. Bush is the founder and director of M Clinic, an integrative medicine center in Charlottesville, Virginia, and one of the only ‘triple board-certified’ physicians in the country, expert in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Hospice/Palliative care.
How we treat the planet impacts human biology. Intuitively, we understand this to be fact. But what distinguishes Dr. Bush from his medical peers is his rigorous application of science, strength of humanity, and the intelligence of nature to his commitment to transforming our world. A man with a deep understanding of the interdependence of macrocosm and microcosm, Dr. Bush’s brilliance truly shines on subjects like soil degeneration and regeneration. The relationship between intensive farming practices and the rise of environmental degradation and chronic disease. And his vision for a more integrated and holistic approach to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
My initial conversation with Dr. Bush remains one of the most mind-blowing, impactful and popular discourses in the history of this show. Picking up where we left off, today’s episode exceeds all expectations — another conversation for the ages that will permanently alter how you think about everything from health, nutrition, disease, medicine, agriculture and environmentalism to what it means to be a spiritual being in this human experience we collectively share.
It’s 2019 people. It’s time to stop screwing around. It’s time to get educated. And it’s time to once-and-for-all take control of our personal health and that of the planet we inhabit.
I ask only that you listen keenly. Take notes. And no matter what, stick around to the very end. Zach concludes the podcast with what I can only describe as the most poignant and moving closing monologue in the history of this program – a bold statement I don’t make lightly.
If you thought last week’s podcast with David Goggins was peak RRP, think again, Because today, the doctor is in.
Final note: the podcast is now available on Spotify and viewable on YouTube at: bit.ly/zachbush414
Final Final Note: My friend and team member David Kahn “DK” joins us this week for an extended introductory segment to discuss his health goals for 2019. I’m interested in your thoughts on having DK pop in from time to time so we can track his progress. Together, let’s help him transform! Tweet @richroll and @daviddarrenkahn with your suggestions and feedback using the hashtag #DKgoals.
