When it’s time to quit – Living Experiment Podcast

Persistence and commitment are admirable, but sometimes it’s time to let go. There’s life-changing wisdom in quitting when you know it’s the right thing to do. And even when you don’t. Jobs, relationships, projects, businesses … you name it and I’ve probably quit it. You could even call me an “expert quitter.” And one of the most important things I’ve learned is this: quitting needn’t represent a failure or a referendum on your value as a person. In this episode of the Living Experiment … [Read more...]

Why 9 Factors Became the 4 Keys

4 Keys to Living Better

A lot has changed since we launched the Whole9 in 2009 — a lot. For one, I've moved on from Whole30 to my own exploration of living well, started the More Social Less Media Program, and am writing a new book that releases in early 2020. I've also simplified the 9 Factors into 4 Keys. The 9 Factors were really good, and if you addressed them all, you’re likely in a good spot as far as your health was concerned. But there were always questions like why 9 and not 10? Why not remove the one … [Read more...]

The Living Experiment – Ours, and Yours

The Living Experiment

For a lot of my life, I tried hard to pass for normal, to go along with what society told me would make me worthy, good, desirable. That didn’t go so well. I felt sad, sick, scared, heavy and slow — in both body and mind. I felt frazzled and anxious. I was stuck in all kinds of unhealthy ruts. I didn’t like who I was becoming. So I decided to change things. I changed a lot of things, often just a little at a time. Slowly, bit by bit, I let go of what the media and social norms … [Read more...]

Depression: It’s not all in your head

Depression help Kelly Brogan

Adapted from A Mind of Your Own by Kelly Brogan, MD Psychiatry: A Very Special Specialty Psychiatry, unlike other fields of medicine, is based on a highly subjective diagnostic system. Essentially you sit in the office with a physician and you are labeled based on the doctor’s opinion of the symptoms you describe. There are no tests. You can’t pee in a cup or give a drop of blood to be analyzed for a substance that definitely indicates “you have depression” much in the way a blood test can … [Read more...]

Movement Daily

Whole9 guest post by Coach Rut, who has over a quarter century of fitness coaching experience and holds academic degrees in biology and physical education, and Master’s degrees in exercise physiology and sports biomechanics. If you read the reports and the statistics, most people aren’t really getting more fit or any healthier. On my 5:00 a.m. commute to work, I pass four big chain pharmacies, all with a waiting line at the druggist counter. In spite of even more evidence pointing to … [Read more...]

How Intentional Personal Growth Affected My Habit Changes

Personal Growth

A Whole9 guest post by Kate Galliett, creator of Fit for Real Life and The Unbreakable Body, an online strength and mobility program If you want to create a habit change in your life that sticks, one crucial element is the belief that you can do it.  But what is “believing in yourself”? You can’t measure it. You can’t see it. There aren’t foods or supplements that give you more of it. Evolving your Self, or ‘personal growth’ as it’s called as one of the 9 factors here at Whole9, is virtually … [Read more...]

Teenagers, Sleep and Mental Health

Teenagers and Sleep

A Whole9 guest post by Emily Deans M.D., a board certified psychiatrist with a practice in Massachusetts who teaches psychiatry at Harvard Medical School One of the reasons mental health problems can be so difficult and debilitating is that they tend to start when someone is quite young. Adolescence is a key developmental stage of the brain, which is not fully “adult” until the early 20s. Babies, children, and adolescents of all species need more sleep than their adult counterparts, mostly … [Read more...]
