What is going on?

2

Everybody.

3

Welcome to the elemental Evan podcast.

4

Thank you all so much for tuning in today.

5

As always on this show, I

do my best to break down.

6

Hello topics from a simplified

and holistic perspective.

7

That way you can walk away from these

episodes with some tools in your tool belt

8

that you can actually apply to your life.

9

Today's episode is going to be.

10

Pretty much, a little bit of a look

into what's to come as well as a little

11

bit of an apology and breakdown of

what's been going on with me recently.

12

So.

13

If you are a listener of this show,

you've probably noticed that the

14

last few weeks there haven't been

any episodes, which first off, let

15

me just full on apologize for that.

16

I am so sorry for not being more on top

of it and getting these episodes out.

17

Uh, there were a couple episodes that

I got about halfway through and just

18

wasn't able to get them completed.

19

And the big reason for that

is, is because I got married.

20

So there was a lot going on.

21

There was a lot of planning and,

uh, honestly, aside from work.

22

Uh, I was, you know, doing a lot of.

23

Getting quotes and contacting

people and setting things up.

24

So it ate up a lot of my time.

25

And unfortunately I just wasn't able

to devote enough time to the podcast or

26

rather I wasn't disciplined enough with

my time to make sure that I was also

27

including a time to work on the podcast.

28

So.

29

Anyways, that is my long-winded

answer of saying my bad.

30

And you can expect to find all of

the episodes, uh, every single week

31

reoccurring, but there is going to be

a little bit of a change coming up.

32

So first off, instead of Wednesdays,

I will now be releasing my

33

podcast episodes on Mondays.

34

So you can feel free to subscribe.

35

And that way you are no longer missing

any of that episodes, regardless

36

of what day that they come out on.

37

Uh, that's honestly just a fail safe

way of doing so, but if you are a person

38

who likes to just single handedly go and

pick the ones that you want to listen to,

39

uh, then just please remember that these

episodes will be released on Mondays.

40

And, uh, in terms of the episodes that

are going to be coming out, uh, I actually

41

wanted to direct your attention to,

I believe what was the last episode.

42

And that was with, uh, Lee Carroll,

who is with real mushrooms.

43

If you haven't heard that episode already,

I really recommend that you do so.

44

Uh, he talks about a specific

compound, uh, within mushrooms that

45

is very important for our health.

46

And it's one that I personally

had not heard of until I

47

spoke with, uh, Lee Carroll.

48

So feel free to go check that out.

49

I promise you there's some really

great information in that episode.

50

So, uh, and like I said, I think

it was the last one that came out.

51

So feel free to check that out in

terms of things that are going to be

52

coming out in the near future, you

can look forward to a lot of stuff,

53

diving into fiber and liver health.

54

This has been a really big topic for me.

55

Uh, and it's one that I'm going to be.

56

Dialing in on massively moving forward.

57

Uh, specifically because the role that

fiber plays in digestion, as well as

58

the connection between your liver.

59

And digestion.

60

Um, there's a whole world there that

I'm really digging into at the moment.

61

And I think there's a lot of benefit

in the research that I'm doing.

62

So.

63

I'm really excited to kind

of present that all to you.

64

Uh, in the future episodes.

65

So you're definitely going to

hear a lot about liver health, how

66

to keep it healthy, the role it

plays in digestion, uh, as well

67

as fiber and the connection with.

68

Uh, your digestion, your liver health,

and we're going to get into some

69

common issues that occur with livers.

70

And yeah, we're really going to go down

the rabbit hole on that, which I'm pretty

71

stoked for and as well, it's something

that I've been toying with on myself.

72

Uh, I like to experiment with a lot of the

research that I do on myself, especially

73

when it comes to digestive health.

74

So, uh, yeah, we're gonna have some really

great conversations on that as well.

75

We're also going to dive into some women's

health and, uh, Beyond that, of course,

76

every other topic you can think of that

is in regards to health and wellness.

77

Uh, but yeah, there's a really

good women's health episode

78

that is going to be coming up.

79

And I think there's going to as

well, be a lot of benefit and I

80

think you all enjoy it very much.

81

And in general, I'm going to be

keeping my solo episodes slightly

82

shorter than my guest episodes.

83

So you can expect to find some

really like, Quick nuggets and

84

you know, just good episodes.

85

Uh, With me personally, just speaking.

86

And then, uh, the longer episodes

are going to be with guests because

87

I just feel that there's so much

to share when I have a guest on.

88

And so I like to try to leave

some time there for them to.

89

Delve into the topics that

they're really excited about.

90

Uh, as well, getting some really

awesome guests scheduled onto the show.

91

So you can, uh, be looking

forward to those as well.

92

So that's going to do it for, uh, what's

coming up on the elemental Ivan podcast.

93

And before we just end this episode.

94

I want to give you some takeaways and

some things that, uh, you know, some,

95

some insight that I've been having

as well as things for you to reflect

96

on as well, but in the last, I would

say month or so, uh, the biggest.

97

Things that have really been

sticking out to me here recently.

98

Is number one.

99

And I've said this a million

times, I'll say it a million times

100

more, but truly the best and most

impactful things on your health.

101

Are almost usually a hundred percent

free or costs you very little money.

102

You know, they're, they're the

things that are, what I like

103

to say are not sexy, right?

104

Like there's nothing sexy

about them, but they make the

105

biggest impact on our health.

106

And these are things like.

107

Once again, sleep.

108

Diet.

109

Uh, exercise community

and stress levels, right?

110

These are some of the big pillars here.

111

I mean, I know there's a few other ones,

but these are all things that are very

112

controllable, at least to a degree.

113

And for the most part, they

don't require that much money.

114

Um, obviously with the food that

you're eating, that does cost money,

115

but you're going to eat anyway.

116

So you might as well focus

on high quality food.

117

And a lot of the times high

quality food really isn't

118

that much more expensive than.

119

Your run of the mill food.

120

So, uh, or rather, should I say

ultra processed foods, right.

121

So these are the things that

we really should focus on.

122

And this really came about just because

throwing a wedding is a bit pricey.

123

And so for me, I, I personally

love trying out new supplements.

124

I love to try out new biohacking

tech gear, all this stuff.

125

Um, you know, I have an aura

ring that broke on me and I

126

want to get that replaced.

127

Like, there's all these

different things that.

128

I'm wanting to purchase.

129

And, uh, the, you know, finances just

weren't really allowing for that.

130

And it was a really good opportunity for

me to recognize and remember that while

131

those things are beneficial and helpful.

132

They're really just the like

small needle movers, right?

133

Like they only get you that extra 1%.

134

Right.

135

Whereas your diet, sleep, exercise,

community, stress levels, all of

136

those things are going to be the

ma that's the majority, right?

137

Like that's the massive portion.

138

That's the 95% of your health.

139

And then the remaining 5% is

going to come from this tech

140

gear and different supplements.

141

Right.

142

So I think that's a great reminder.

143

And in fact, one of the best practices,

uh, in my opinion, that we can do is some

144

fasting, which absolutely costs nothing.

145

You're literally going without just some

water and some salt, maybe a little bit

146

of plain tea or coffee a once a day.

147

But fasting is really

beneficial for the body.

148

It's also very beneficial for the

liver, uh, which obviously I'll be

149

diving into that in future episodes.

150

But.

151

It's really important for us to remember

that look just because you don't

152

have the money to go buy all these

cool gadgets or, you know, the best

153

supplements or whatever it might be.

154

Even the best food for that matter.

155

There's still so many things that

you can do that are going to really

156

improve your health so massively.

157

And, um, if you are feeling like,

oh, I just don't have the money

158

to invest in this, this or that.

159

Or you're like waiting on a new

tech gear to, you know, um, Get

160

healthy or improve your sleep.

161

Like for example, what the aura ring,

you know, I really want to track my

162

sleep levels and stress levels and

all this, but at the end of the day,

163

guess what if you just get to bed?

164

Had a good time, give yourself like eight

hours to sleep and then wake up at the

165

same time that you usually do and set this

really nice circadian rhythm for yourself.

166

Guess what?

167

You're probably going to have

some really excellent sleep.

168

And of course there's all these

little like hacks that you

169

can do to improve that sleep.

170

But at the end of the day,

it's just doing the action.

171

Um, and I really like this quote

that says, talking about something

172

and doing something fight for the

exact same resources and energy.

173

So you can choose.

174

Are you going to talk about

it or are you going to do it?

175

And for me, I think talking about

getting the aura ring and, and, you

176

know, always just waiting on it and

thinking about, oh, well, you know what?

177

I can track it.

178

Then I can do this.

179

And that.

180

It's really at the core of it.

181

It's just trying to help you be a

better sleeper, but you can already

182

start practicing good sleep habits.

183

Right.

184

And on top of that, I don't really

need a wellness score in the

185

morning to tell me how well I slept.

186

A lot of the times I

can wake up and feel it.

187

If you wake up in the morning and

you feel wrecked and you have a

188

headache and all this stuff, You

probably didn't sleep very well.

189

If you wake up and you feel super

energized and you are just ready to go,

190

you woke up before your alarm clock.

191

You probably slept really, really well.

192

So.

193

I just wanted to bring it back.

194

Like there are so many practices that

are very beneficial, actually the most

195

beneficial and they're completely free.

196

Uh, and you know, or

very, very cost-effective.

197

So.

198

I really wanted to hammer that one home.

199

Uh, and then the other.

200

Thing that has really

been on my mind lately.

201

Has been, uh, this idea that I want

to stop wishing for an easier life

202

and just start looking for ways to

become better equipped at handling.

203

All of the tasks on my plate.

204

Right.

205

And I think for me, um, whenever

I've gone through times that are like

206

super busy, I'll just kind of always

mentally think, oh, you know what, once

207

I get done with this, uh, event, then.

208

Things we'll call them down, you

know, and then I'll be able to

209

relax and take it easy and all

this and that blah, blah, blah.

210

But the reality of the matter is life

is going to get more and more busy,

211

especially as you try to accomplish more

things and do more things with your life.

212

You're naturally going to

become a busier person.

213

So it's better to just kind of understand

that life is never really going to get,

214

you know, calmer and more simple, unless

you really make a massive drastic change.

215

Or until you get older, right?

216

So.

217

My goal for myself.

218

And hopefully this is something that

can resonate with all of you as well.

219

Is that.

220

I no longer am thinking in terms of, okay.

221

When this next event ends, I'll be

able to relax, take it easy, catch

222

up on sleep, blah, blah, blah.

223

Instead, I just want to get better at

managing more things on my plate, because

224

I know it is never going to get less busy.

225

It's going to continue to get

more and more busy and therefore

226

I need to get better equipped

at handling a busy lifestyle.

227

So that's really where I'm at.

228

It's been a kind of a.

229

Internal struggle for me, I would say,

uh, to really move the needle on this

230

and, uh, Yeah, really just try to.

231

Get more disciplined

with myself, I would say.

232

Uh, and at the end of the day,

that's the other thing as well.

233

If you feel like you're running out of

time in the day, if you just don't have

234

enough time to do everything you want,

uh, everyone has the same 24 hours.

235

It's just depends on how we use it.

236

And personally, I feel like if you

are experiencing that kind of emotion

237

where you feel that there's just not

enough time in the day, That I would

238

highly recommend for you to sit down

and really analyze your schedule,

239

like a, you know, daily schedule.

240

Like what does that look like for you?

241

And then really look at how much

time you're wasting, how much time

242

you're spending on certain things.

243

What are, what are the

things that are actually.

244

That you're doing that are

actually accomplishing your goals.

245

And what are the things that you're doing

that are just kind of a waste of time?

246

And, uh, really evaluate that.

247

Uh, and just getting better at managing

your time is going to help open up.

248

So.

249

Much more time in the rest of your

day, and also just possibilities

250

for you to accomplish the things

that you want to be doing.

251

So.

252

Uh, there was a quote as well

that says discipline or like self

253

discipline is only the opportunities.

254

Nope.

255

Sorry.

256

Scratch that freedom.

257

It's only the opportunity for

self-discipline when you have the freedom

258

to, uh, like for example of time, you

have to become disciplined with it.

259

Uh, or else it's just

going to escape you, right?

260

And the more disciplined you

are with your time, you actually

261

get more time back in your day.

262

So it's very important for us to work

on self-discipline, especially myself.

263

I'm really just kinda.

264

Giving you guys.

265

My thoughts.

266

Uh, out loud here.

267

But that's the main thing I'm really

trying to work on is my time management.

268

Getting better equipped with

handling more on my plate.

269

Um, you know, and this looks like.

270

Waking up a little bit earlier.

271

Uh, to make sure that I'm doing personal

practices like meditation, reading, uh,

272

working out stretching, uh, and then,

you know, also prepping for my day.

273

Right.

274

As opposed to waking up with

very little time to even get

275

ready and then get my day going.

276

Uh, I'm working on getting up earlier

so that I can actually start my day and

277

be totally prepared, you know, overly

prepared really for the day to come.

278

So that's what that's been looking like.

279

And then working on time management,

uh, you know, doing time blocks where I.

280

Work for 30 minutes spurts and

then take a 10 minute break

281

and you know, kind of work.

282

And then in those 30 minute spurts,

like phone is off it's on airplane mode.

283

I'm not receiving any messages

or anything like that.

284

It's put away and it's just a hundred

percent focus on the task at hand.

285

So.

286

These are the things that I'm working on.

287

At the moment.

288

Um, so just re.

289

You know, kind of.

290

Highlight those again, the best health

practices are truly free or very low cost.

291

And then I'm personally trying to

shift my mindset from not wishing for.

292

An easier life or for things to slow

down, but rather to just get better

293

at handling a busier lifestyle.

294

And to do so, one of the biggest things

I need to overcome is time management.

295

So these are the things I'm working on.

296

And I work through my promise.

297

I will let you know how they're

going and any tips or tricks that

298

I come across, I will as well.

299

Let you know about those.

300

Uh, but yeah, that's a,

that's where we're at.

301

So anyways, y'all.

302

This episode and all the other

ones will be coming out on Mondays.

303

And I have some great

ones coming your way.

304

So please stay tuned and thank

you all so much for just.

305

Tuning in and always

keeping up to date on this.

306

I really appreciate it.

307

And, uh, we're going to be bringing

you some great stuff and, uh,

308

really give you the opportunity to.

309

Receive so much health and

wellness information that you can

310

really just pick and choose what

you want to apply to your life.

311

And hopefully.

312

Uh, come out the other side better.

313

So anyways, Thank you all very much.

314

Appreciate you.

315

Uh, as you know, the model of the show,

it is do everything with good intentions.

316

And connect your elements.

317

So anyways, have a great one.

318

I appreciate all of you sending

love to every single one of you, and

319

320

Peace.
