Boost Brain Health, Heal Autoimmunity, a...

BEN PAKULSKI
About this episode

Dr. Datis Kharrazian has spent decades paving a new way to health and wellness within the space of autoimmunity, long before the terms "gut microbiome" and "neuro-inflammation" were widely used.  Today, Dr. Kharrazian's understanding of neurological biomarkers, triggering environmental pollutants, and repopulation of the intestinal flora influences his highly-individualized approach to treatment which helps patients regain their vitality.

Enhancing brain health and balancing autoimmune function are critical considerations for everyone, regardless of age or current health status.   Ben and Dr. Kharrazian debunk common health misconceptions and cover everything from the downstream effects of cortisol dysregulation, to how to make your home less toxic.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • Steps to IMMEDIATELY reduce the chemical load in your home and enhance your digestive health.
  • The athlete-autoimmune connection that is often missed.
  • The ONE compound that offers a huge boost to brain health.
  • The importance of detoxification and autophagy (and how to support these processes).
  • How you can optimize anti-inflammatory pathways of neuroglia (supporting brain cells) through KEY changes to your diet and lifestyle.

If I have to convince you to prioritize your health, Muscle Intelligence coaching isn’t for you…. If I have to convince you that the best investment you can make is in yourself…. That being fit is not a temporary decision, but a commitment…. That it’s not about MORE or what you do, it’s about BETTER and how you do it...  Or that your physical health impacts all areas of your life, keep scrolling.

I’m not in the business of convincing anyone.  I’m in the business of transformation.

The individuals who come to us are already high-performers.  They’re committed. Ready.

Don’t get me wrong - These guys come with challenges too. They typically have limited time to train, injuries, no gym access, busy families, no customized plans, no specific training knowledge, no coach and an inner fear that it’s going to be too hard.

But here’s the tough love you need to hear:  The only difference between these guys and YOU… is that they took action. They stepped in the ring anyway.

I’m looking for a few more men who want to transform in 2022. If you’re serious and you’re committed, I’d love to see if you’re a right fit for a program I’m starting in 2022.  Apply now at https://go.muscleintelligence.com/coaching-application/
