Have you ever wondered why almost every single packaged food contains industrial seed oils, anti-caking agents, preservatives, petrochemical flavorings and other sketchy, non-food ingredients?

And why do so many growing companies that started as a healthier real food alternative ultimately sell their souls to Big Food?

We're back this week with our dear friend, Anna Vocino, a best-selling cookbook author, actor, stand-up comedian, podcaster and founder of Eat Happy Kitchen.

She's here to show you how the food we buy in the grocery store actually gets made, and it's not always pretty.

In this episode with Anna, you're about to hear why nearly all food products contain non-food ingredients, how to muster up the courage to start your own business without losing your mind (or your pants), how to achieve longevity in the world of podcasting and media, from a couple of OGs, an optimistic vision for the future of human creativity in the age of AI, and much more…

When you know what you’re supposed to do, what keeps you from actually doing it?

We’re all guilty at times of procrastination, pleasure-seeking, indulging in distraction and escapism, and even self-sabotage.

Perhaps it’s all part of the human condition.

But since knowing what to do is different from actually doing it, it’s essential to set up systems in our lives to make healthy choices the default option.

And sometimes we need a little help getting out of our own way.

By helping you work through the subconscious emotional blocks that prevent you from taking positive action, finding the right coach and accountability partner can make a massive difference in your long term results.

As today’s guest quips, "I can't help people solve their problems until I find out why they like having them."

Today we’re here with our friend, Adam Gilbert, founder of MyBodyTutor.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete, busy parent, coach, or just dipping your toes into health and fitness, you'll walk away with actionable strategies and a renewed sense of motivation to make positive and lasting changes in your life.

If you’re not happy all the time, do you feel like you have a problem?

No matter how much you achieve, does it feel like it’s never quite enough?

This is totally normal.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with the pursuit of happiness, but it’s critical to understand that even in the best case scenario, happiness is fleeting. It’s not something we ever get to keep.

We’re conditioned to think that if we don’t feel happy, we’re failing at life. The traditional approach to addressing unhappiness is flawed, however, as it assumes we’re meant to live in some perfect state of perpetual bliss. But that doesn’t jive with biology or reality.

The truth is that our mammalian brains are wired for survival, not to feel happy all the time.

Feelings of happiness and achievement are short-lived, and it’s meant to be that way.

But by harnessing proven principles of brain science and evolutionary biology, you can use dissatisfaction, pain and discomfort to propel you to your next epic success.

Today we’re back with our friend, Loretta Breuning, PhD, author, Professor Emerita of Management at California State University, East Bay, and Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why our brain's happy chemicals are only released in short spurts, and quickly habituate to rewards

How to untangle your emotional wiring by tracking down patterns from childhood

Why our natural "herd impulse" can lead to groupthink and the suppression of individuality (and how to counteract it)

Simple strategies to manage anxiety and fear

How to spark small joys and harness dopamine triggers in the brain’s reward system to create meaning and purpose in your life

And much more…
