Mighty Pursuit

Mighty Pursuit Most people are trying to piece their lives together in a hundred different places. A podcast for mental health. An app for fitness. A yoga class for their soul.

It’s too much—and not enough.

Episode 21 of the Mighty Pursuit Podcast is now live with Dr. Casey Means, and it’s one of the most important conversations you could ever listen to. That’s not an overstatement, by the way. We’re on the cusp of the next big justice movement.

In recent days, Dr. Means has become one of the most Googled people on the planet, and for very good reason. She stands at the forefront of exposing the dark realities of the U.S. medical system, and pushing to create meaningful change. Earlier this year, she authored Good Energy with her brother Calley, and it immediately debuted at no. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

Dr. Means earned her MD from Stanford Medical School. Being inside the medical system and training as a surgeon, Dr. Means was confronted with an ugly truth, which is that every institution that impacts your health makes MORE money when you are sick and LESS money when you are healthy. This includes hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, medical schools, and even insurance companies.

We are all stuck inside this vicious cycle, and this is what makes the conversation so important to listen to. Over the course of 2 hours and 20 minutes, Dr. Means masterfully lays out the problem in fine detail. She then reveals the true cause of all chronic diseases, and gives us critical steps for taking our health into our own hands.

She also makes some important distinctions, including what the current medical system is effectively at treating, how to pick a doctor to work with, and why we shouldn’t settle when people tell us that we’re “healthy”.

When it comes to the infidelity conversation, a good rule of thumb for evaluating if you might have a problem is if you can’t share something with your spouse. This doesn’t explicitly have to relate to physical s*x with another person, but also pushing boundaries emotionally with another person, or perhaps even a secret p**n habit.

The longer the secrets go on, the more disharmony you are actively sowing into your relationship. Quite literally, you are crafting a secret life that the person closest to you has no idea about. Not to mention that when things are in secret, the more likely we are to keep compromising and pushing boundaries we never thought we would.

The thing is, all secrets are eventually exposed at some point in time. You can take an active role in disclosing the secrets, and in the process, mitigate the damage through honesty and vulnerability. The alternative is to let them come out *without* your choosing, and the amount of shock and devastation will be that much greater.

One of the biggest things that can cause tension between two people s*xually, and in a marriage, is the stigmatization of desire.
For the longest time, our culture has normalized those who are spontaneously aroused and extremely reactive to s*xual cues. And if you don’t fit into that bucket, something must be wrong with you or your hormones. But the recent discoveries in s*x science have changed everything. It has been found that there are two desire frameworks — spontaneous and responsive.
And both are completely normal and natural. Both people can be extremely s*xual, it just takes a different path to getting there.
If you do not understand this, or are constantly trying to change your partner, it will probably only create friction. And you’re probably not going to get what you want, anyway.
It’s extremely important to mention that not *ALL* men are spontaneous and not *ALL* women are responsive. In the minority of cases, sometimes those roles are reversed, which is also normal and natural.
This does not make a man “less of a man” and it does not make the woman weird. It is just how they are uniquely wired.
We dive deeper into this concept in Episode 27 of the Mighty Pursuit Podcast with Dr. Alexandra Solomon, one of the world’s foremost experts on s*x and relationships.
Garnering national media attention, Dr. Solomon famously pioneered (and leads) the Marriage 101 course at Northwestern University. She’s also the host of the popular podcast Reimagine Love, and the author of three books, including one dedicated to s*x in 2020 — Taking Sexy Back.

The latest headlines around cancer have sent shockwaves across the western world, in particular the United States. “Early-onset cancers, defined as cancer cases diagnosed in people under 50, increased globally by a staggering 79%,” CNN reported earlier this year.

So why is this happening?

A study from Harvard in 2022 revealed that diet is one of the major causes, brought about by ultra-processed foods. But modern life has also created a number of other challenges that did not exist for previous generations.

Namely, that we don’t move and exercise. We’ve become sedentary, which is the polar opposite of what we see in the Blue Zones, defined as high populations of people who live past 100. Historically, movement was built into life simply by walking. Not only do we eat copious amounts of ultra processed food, but we drive everywhere and this limits how many steps we get each day.

Our generation has also been wrecked by chronic stress, which in turn wreaks havoc on the body. We discuss all this and more in Episode 21 of the Mighty Pursuit Podcast with Dr. Casey Means.

Dr. Means is one of the world’s foremost experts in metabolic health, and has become one of the most Google people on the planet in recent weeks. She stands at the forefront of exposing the dark realities of the U.S. medical system, and pushing to create meaningful change. One of which, is the incredibly ineffective ways we go about preventing and treating chronic diseases like cancer.

Earlier this year, she authored Good Energy with her brother Calley, and it immediately debuted at no. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

One of the most absurd facts of American healthcare is that pharmaceutical companies are heavily influencing what is being taught in medical school.

Yes, you read that right.

Most insidious is that 80% of medical schools do not require a single course in nutrition, when nutrition and food rank at the top of the list in terms of treating and curing chronic diseases.

Pharmacological interventions only mask our symptoms, but on a cellular level, they are literally incapable of curing the root cause. And Big Pharma wants to keep it that way. If you get patients to be on pills for years and years and years, and mask their symptoms to a manageable level, you make billions.

The corruption needs to end. We go deeper into this issue with Dr. Casey Means in Episode 21 of the Mighty Pursuit Podcast.

Dr. Means earned her MD from Stanford Medical School. Being inside the medical system and training as a surgeon, Dr. Means was confronted with an ugly truth, which is that every institution that impacts your health makes MORE money when you are sick and LESS money when you are healthy.

Surprisingly, one of the biggest debates in the modern world has become vegan vs. carnivore. People get as passionate about this subject almost as much as religion or politics. And the data around this subject can be VERY confusing.

How is it that someone could swear that only eating meat solved all their health problems, whilst simultaneously also having some who is vegan making the same claims? The answer lies in this simple statement: food is nutrients.

And you can get those nutrients from a diverse range of sources. The importance is eating clean and avoiding ultra-processed foods. Sometimes people have to adopt more of a vegan or carnivore approach simply because of their environment.

The example of people living on the Serengeti vs. Alaska is a good one. But also just logically, if you go back thousands and thousands of years, people could only really eat the food that was available to them in their local area. Sometimes they had but no choice just to hunt meat, and that’s all they were consuming.

What matters is you’re getting the nutrients, and that you’re tracking this, whatever dietary philosophy that you choose. Depending on your specific situation and the conditions you might have developed due to environmental factors, you might find that one dietary philosophy works better for healing than another one.

When it comes to consuming things that are harmful to us, one of the biggest catchphrases in American culture is “all good things in moderation”.

Sure, Oreos and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and Pepsi may taste good, but have you turned over the package and looked at the ingredient list? Part of the problem is that we don’t realize the gravity of what we’re actually putting in our bodies.

Much of what we consume in moderation is full of toxins that destroy our metabolic health, and lead to chronic disease.

We’re also increasingly applying this idea of “all good things in moderation” to many things, and now it’s become “many things in moderation”. Cheat days are the most exaggerated version of this, where it’s become okay to eat fairly well for six days, and then destroy your body on the seventh.

When you zoom out to the big picture of life, and perhaps take a more spiritual lens, you start to develop more of a conviction that you don’t want harmful substances in your body. We’re meant to steward our bodies well, and take care of them. They are the vessels and temples through which we experience the outside world.

To be clear, this doesn’t mean we can’t eat well, or consume things that are delicious. On the contrary, there are *loads* of health-promoting options on the market that you will love, and it’s a fairly simple process to make that swap.

As the interest around trauma has exploded, so has the language of using “big t” traumas and “little t” traumas. Even if this is coming from a good place in trying to validate that even a “small” experience can be traumatic, it’s problematic.

As an outsider, we cannot determine if something is mildly traumatic or very traumatic. There is not a list of traumas, with some ranked at the top, and others at the bottom. Creating a list like this only makes our society more judgmental.

The brutality of r**e cannot be understated, but it is not for you or us to decide if being repeatedly fat shamed or bullied holds that same level of brutality. All individuals deal with overwhelming life experiences differently.

And we should honor their internal experience, not make an outside judgment, and place their experience in a box of “little t” trauma.

In Episode 22 of the Mighty Pursuit Podcast, we go deeper into this with one of leading trauma experts in the world — Dr. Frank Anderson. Frank originally trained at Harvard, and for nearly 30 years, he worked side-by-side with Bessel van der Kolk, who famously wrote the international bestseller The Body Keeps The Score.

Most remarkably, Dr. Anderson is not just a trauma expert, he is also a trauma survivor. So he speaks from a place of going through trauma, and also helping people through their own trauma. Click the link in our bio for the full episode to watch on YouTube and Spotify, or listen on Apple Podcasts.

trauma is one of the most talked about subjects today. There’s a reason why The Body Keeps The Score has had an unprecedented run for nearly 10 years on BOTH the Amazon and New York Times bestseller lists.

It’s now one of the bestselling books of all-time, and that doesn’t just happen unless people are identifying with the subject in a very deep way. At the same time, this has provoked confusion around the subject. What is trauma? Are people over-identifying with the word, or calling things trauma that aren’t?

We’ve never heard a better explanation than the one Dr. Frank Anderson gave us in the latest episode of the Mighty Pursuit Podcast. And it’s not a surprise, given he’s one of the leading experts in the world on the subject of trauma.

Trauma can be distilled down to an overwhelming life experience, which we’ve all had. These experiences are marked by fear, helplessness and horror. But we can’t just leave it there, because not all experiences are the same.

Which is perhaps where the biggest caveat needs to be made, and that is considering the frequency, intensity and duration of the experience. Getting s*xually abused for years is not the same thing as a car accident. Both can be severely traumatic, but one has repeatedly happened for a long period of time.

Depending on your specific experience, it might raise the likelihood of you developing a trauma disorder — like PTSD. But you don’t need to have PTSD to see yourself in Frank’s definition of trauma. Trauma is something we’ve all experienced.

And if we’re interested in the healing and reconciliation of those experiences, both for ourselves and others, we should **never** belittle them. The way we love and connect with people in the face of trauma makes or breaks the healing process.

Frank learned all this as a trauma survivor himself, but also from his training at Harvard and working side-by-side with Bessel van der Kolk for nearly 30 years, who wrote The Body Keeps The Score.

With each passing year, we’ve grown more uncomfortable with (what used to be) the normal human body and face. This causes us to feel shame for simply showing up the way we are, with the body we have.

Images are constantly flying at us that are airbrushed—flawless skin, sculpted bodies, and symmetrical features—that are often the result of editing tools and cosmetic interventions. Since we don’t meet this impossible standard of perfection, naturally that makes us feel inadequate.

Pressure starts mounting to conform, and before we know it, we too are playing a part of facilitating this system. We try to “fix” ourselves through cosmetic procedures, weight loss drugs, body alterations, filters and digital manipulation. And sooner or later, we then become the altered images that other people are seeing.

Since most people are operating this way, that means that natural body shapes, unique facial structures, and signs of aging fall to the margins, while heavily edited or surgically enhanced appearances become the only thing we see.

Over time, this can have a very negative effect on mental health, self-esteem, and the way we relate to others, turning the human body into a product to be perfected rather than celebrated in its natural form. The human diversity that once made us unique slowly fades away, replaced by a homogenized version of beauty that erases the richness of our differences.

This is why if we want to have any chance of breaking the system, we need brave men and women to make a stand and embrace the natural form of the human body.

We discuss all this and more in Episode 23 of the Mighty Pursuit Podcast with Jess Connolly. Jess is a coach, podcaster and author, including the international bestseller Breaking Free From Body Shame. After it was released in 2021, it immediately became one of the most recommended books for body image issues.
