How to Improve Daily Performance Through Sexual Acts
By: Jim Goetz, NBCE, CES Sex and the Flow State Sex is a gateway to the flow state. The flow state is what is aptly known as, “the zone” in sports. It’s the state of pure focus and concentration where your levels of performance are seemingly raised to new heights. Flow state is a state of hyperfocus in one area causing one to achieve new levels. When it comes to sex, the flow state can lead to courage and for one to push their boundaries and explore new things and experiences. In order to accomplish this, one must first eliminate sex from the mind. No longer is sex about the act of sex but instead sex becomes primal. Sex becomes allowing the body to seek out what it truly desires. This allows the body and mind to tap into deep levels of freedom, healing and creativity. Sex then becomes a positive tool of progress as opposed to an activity to fulfull an act (meaning the act of foreplay, penetration and orgasm). When the idea of sex and this act are eliminated, sex can instead be brought to whole new levels. All too often, individuals are obsessed with the orgasm. The orgasm however is different in men and women. Really amazing sex increases the spiritual side of an individual and actually is deeper than the orgasm in of itself. Yet if the orgasm is the goal and only goal, then failure for either partner to achieve an orgasm leads to mental defeat and decreased confidence. Therefore, when you remove the orgasm as your goal, you become liberated. To do this you must simply focus on your partner as your goal and not achieving an orgasm. You are not there for a performance but a deep state of fulfillment. Your central nervous system sees sex the same as life and death. Without sexual fulfillment (that is if you still are chasing an orgasm for either partner), then the subconscious becomes starved and without sustinance sex then becomes death of ones soul. Compare if you would sex to fine dining. With a five star meal at a five star restaurant with the perfect partner, you can either leave the restaurant feeling a sense of enjoyment and fulfillment or you can simply leave with the feeling of being full as if you crammed a bunch of food in your mouth. When individuals go through sex as an act (foreplay, penetration, orgasm), they can often feel as if sex is mundane and they can begin to feel stuck. In order to feel unstuck, one can utilize different biohacks. One is neurofeedback. Another is mindfulness. Perhaps even utilizing audio visual entrainment while combining the experience with mindfulness. When one imagines a brief fantasy of true enjoyment, they can significantly increase their brain activity. This leads to being unstuck and improves productivity, creativity and performance. This brief fantasy is different than thinking about what someone else wants or what you feel you should think about. This is about letting yourself go and passing a realm of limits. It’s about understanding true pleasure and allowing yourself to mentally experience it. Then refocus on the task at hand and that task at hand will be completed far more efficiently and effectively. When we are in an analytical state (typical of a high performing individual); this state blocks emotion and empathy. You become shut down and this includes the idea of sex. By using the technique(s) described above, you will shut off your analytical mind thus increasing empathy, joy, the sense of calm, creativity and an overall sense of being one and united with those around you. Now when it comes to confidence and achievement, there’s a difference between mental or actual sexual experiences and made up experiences without any mental involvement...namely porn. Porn actually releases neurochemicals that blunt the flow of dopamine, causing our body to want more dopamine and as a result an addiction develops. With this addiction/ habit, there is zero sense of accomplishment. Confidence goes down and failure is inevitable. By participating in sexual acts with “the one” where the acts mean participating in sexual activity without the activity being an act in of itself as previously described (foreplay, penetration and orgasm), sex releases the analytical mind and you then are able to enter the flow state. Timing of Sex and Orgasm Sexual energy is extremely powerful. Therefore, channeling this energy can be either extremely worthwhile or extremely wasted. Worthwhile sexual energy can increase the quality of ones life, increase productivity and decrease stress. Wasted sexual energy will have an opposite effect as it increases stress, increases anxiety, and increases chances of failure. Without an orgasm, ones world can keep spinning. Once an orgasm occurs, life as we know it is disrupted for those few moments of amazement. This is why many athletes have a history of abstaining from sex before competition. Let me explain…. Research on mice showed that when researchers stimulated their hypothalamus, the mice became extremely violent. The researchers then stimulated the hypothalamus of the mice while they were having sex. The mice reacted very differently. They had zero violent tendencies whatsoever. However, once the mice ejaculated, they became violent once again. Both sex and violence is a survival mechanism in us. The act of violence wards off predators while sex ensures continuity of our species. The stimulation in mice created violence as a mechanism for survival while the violence was subdued as further continuation of it’s species was more important from a primal perspective than self preservation. The mice had subconsciously channeled their energies into creation as opposed to defense. Without the opportunity of preservation of species, self preservation became key in order to have the opportunity to once again create more mice. Psychologists have a term called, “sublimation”. This means to channel ones sexual energy into creativity or physical action. This is the same idea as previously discussed on how to use mindfulness in order to enter flow state. This is why (and through motivation- how) athletes abstain from sex before competition. A mans sex drive is by far the most powerful force he posesses while a womans sex drive undergoes a hormonal ebb and flow. While a man’s greatest desire is to procreate, a woman wants to ensure a dependable mate to want to have sex with so she may ultimately have a baby. Most of the time this female urge is greatly subconscious. But none the less, it is an evolutionary impulse that she wants to lie with a male who she believes will be able to pass his seed to her so he may fertilize her egg. If she feels unsafe around the male, she has zero desire to reproduce. In the beginning of a woman's monthly cycle, an egg is released. This has been deemed the “love window”. If she feels cared for, she will release estrogen, which will in turn cause her mate to release more testosterone and spur on a sexual encounter where she will hopefully receive his seed. The caveat occurs in postmenopausal women and in men with low testosterone. The two will often be on a hormonal roller coaster and never be riding the same car together. The woman will have reduced levels of estrogen while the male will not have the urge or confidence in the first place to have sex. In these cases, there will be zero primal urges and if one does somehow have them, most likely they will not be experienced at the same time. Anti- aging therapies and techniques can come into play to assist the couple if sex is an important part of their lives. As discussed earlier, sex can be utilized to enter a flow state and therefore increase success in this world. It would seem prudent anti- aging therapies might be essential for post menopausal women and men with low testosterone levels. Let me digress for a moment. During the first week of a woman’s monthly cycle, she will have the best orgasms of the month. When a woman orgasms, her mate’s testosterone levels will increase two fold as a result of his subconscious satisfaction (something not achieved through porn). After a male ejaculates though, it will take a full week for him to rebuild his testosterone levels back to their highest levels. This is why men often retreat and act…”like a dick”. After sex, both male and female estrogen levels increase. Combined with the release of oxytocin (the love hormone), females desire to bond. While some males will “cuddle”, most will want to retreat to rebuild their stores of testosterone. With the release of added estrogen, other males around will have testosterone levels increased and also want to mate with the woman. Remember the mice? This is where the primary male may become violent again in order to protect not only his mate but the best chances of his seed reproducing from his sexual efforts as opposed to a competing male. Fascinating, right?!? Here’s where things really get wild. While women are more inclined to be with only one partner as she must find one suitable to procreate one chid at a time and find comfort, satisfaction and confidence with this, men want to conquer. A man is far more primal in this aspect and even monogamous men who become polygamous have increases in testosterone when they “conquer” a woman who is not his primary mate. This is the nice way to say, men cheat because of a subconscious decision to have an opportunity to pass on his DNA and is rewarded with higher testosterone levels, which makes him feel more confident. Now the way to overcome this primal urge is to ejaculate once every seven days. This will keep a man in check. As his testosterone peaks, he releases and his testosterone needs that week to recover back to optimal levels. However, when it comes to physical performance, research has shown that a man who orgasms once every 30 days is optimal. He can have sex daily, just not orgasm. The sublimation of sexual energy leads to far higher performance. Therefore, it’s not a wives tale for athletes to abstain before competition. They actually will have a better chance to perform better. Timing is (on average) 30 days. Self testing should be done for individual performance. Sexual Conclusion We have discussed entering a flow state and timing of sex for high performance. It would then be prudent to understand that sex is more than a primal instinct but a biohack in order for an individual to achieve more in their activities of daily living. A CEO can become a mega CEO. A mid level manager can rise to CEO. An entry level position employee can thrive and be promoted through the ranks. A mom can be a super mom. Dad can be a super dad. An athlete can become an all star or champion. Practice is as only as good as you practice. Therefore, perfect practice makes perfect (or at least as close to perfect as possible). So…..turn off the porn. Find an open minded and trustworthy partner you can be open with and discuss things that are far more than superficial and be able to be as open as possible at what truly excites you. Practice sex not as an act but an experience where an orgasm is not the goal and depending on your goal (as a guy), ejaculate once a week to once a month. Combine that with multiple “rounds” (as discussed on Healthy Happy Hour at Functionised) last week as was termed, “high intensity interval sex”- and you will be positively changed for the better. Live Functionised!!!!

After years of personal experience and many trial and error life changes of my own, I am thoroughly motivated to share with you the tools I’ve used to improve my own relationship to health!It’s my goal today to share the most effective ways to improve your health and also to help YOU assess your stance on them honestly and truthfully. I believe that being honest with ourselves about our health is the only way to get to the bottom of any issues and start to implement lasting changes!!Any questions you might have along the way you can leave in the comments below and we can get the conversation started! As always -please maintain an open, honest, and understanding mind when it comes to each other’s unique experiences. This way we can start to cultivate more honesty and openness around our relationship with health.Are you ready?? One huge aspect of improving your health in any area is first to assess what your current relationship with that area is. To do this, it’s important to ask yourself (and honestly answer) the question of ‘what does health mean to you?’Consider your understanding of the word health, and then consider your idea of optimum health.Now....what is the difference between the two definitions? Many people would consider their idea of health somewhere within the spectrum of a state of optimum physical and mental health, yet even within this, there are many variables. Once you’ve compiled your ultimate definitions of health and well-being, it’s time to get things moving towards them!Get real about your current beliefs and habits. Be honest with yourself about your current state of health. This is the only way you’ll be able to move forward from a place of stable awareness.What are your priorities? To begin, ask yourself these questions: What have you allowed to take priority over your health? Are you prepared to tackle this lifestyle factor in order to take back control of your health?If the answer to the second question is no, then you still need to do some searching to uncover the true value of changing that answer to a YES! In the same way that the term ‘physical health’ doesn’t merely outline your state of good/bad health in a given moment, ‘financial health’ doesn’t necessarily apply to how much money you currently have in your bank account. A healthy attitude towards money is achieved when we are realistic and calm about the flow of our income and expenditure to the extent that it neither rules our lives nor restricts us in any way. The same can be said about health. Our attitude is everything, and the way we should neither ignore nor obsess about our health is a delicate balance to maintain at all times.It’s often stated that being healthy is ‘expensive.’ While it’s true that many whole food stores and gyms can place an unfair strain on our pockets, the reality of this is that there are many other ways to achieve nutrition and fitness goals if we are set on doing so. It just may take a little research.22One thing we need to stress in this seemingly never-ending road to achieving health is that it’s not a straight path. We sometimes NEED to hit the low points in order to realize that something needs to change. These negative experiences are often exactly the motivation we need to keep going and achieving higher levels of health.Neither ignoring nor obsessing about our health, mindset, exercise, and food habits is healthy. It’s important to keep an eye on your beliefs surrounding your efforts to maximize them. If this area of health may be an issue for you, it can be helpful to ask yourself -1. Is my relationship to exercise/food/wellbeing beneficial or obsessive?2. Can I miss a day of exercise/wellness practices and NOT freak out?23Children are very easily influenced when it comes to belief systems. Between the ages of 7 and 11, we endure what psychologists call the mirroring stage, where we mirror beliefs, actions, and intentions of those whom we look up to. This can be parents, guardians, peers, or any other inspirational figures. It stands to reason so that the health habits of those we look up to will impact our lives too, and cause us to form beliefs and habits similar to those we observe during this phase.It’s interesting to consider the links between childhood illness and exposure to poor attitudes to health at a young age. So many adults don’t realize their poor attitudes and habits towards health until it has already become too late and illness has begun.If your health is at risk, it might be worth taking a look back at the attitudes and habits you were exposed to as you grew up -were they damaging or supportive? Did your parents respect their health as much as they cared for yours?The following study takes a look at children’s concept of illness and considers a thing like their early environment and past experiences with illness having shaped their beliefs as they get older: 24https://academic.oup.com/her/article/21/5/643/751632 24When it comes to assessing your health habits and how you relate to them on a day to day basis, the ultimate question comes down to this:Are you prepared to accept the habits which may be holding you back from experiencing optimum health? Do you WANT to experience optimum health and happiness? Making the choice to change the way you view health is ultimately a very personal one, and will look different for everybody. That’s why it’s important to do some deep self-introspection as you embark on the journey to improve your health. Be open, honest, and realistic with yourself about what may need to change, where you want to go, and how you will get there.Are you ready for this? What (if anything) do you feel is still holding you back?25Knowledge and awareness are great, and they will definitely help you as you progress through the various stages and challenges life presents us with. However, they are nothing without ACTION.ACTING on your beliefs is the first key stage to achieving optimum health, and continuous action means continuous and strengthened success.Are you ready to take action?What’s the first thing you’ll do to take action?26Here are some great resources used to assemble this class for you:http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/psp-832261.pdf Creating your own reality with belief system: http://www.thehealersjournal.com/2013/09/18/create-reality-with-your-beliefs/ Eating right for body types https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-18384/how-to-eat-right-for-your-body-type.html Links between mental and physical health imbalances: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1071612/ What is a conditioned belief: https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-a-conditioned-response-2794974 De-cluttering for mental health: https://www.livestrong.com/slideshow/1011917-decluttering-can-actually-benefit-health/ Formaldehyde scientific info: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/formaldehyde#section=Top Heavy Metal Exposure: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1764574/ Behavioral medicine: https://goo.gl/1GHgYZ Preventive medicine: https://www.cabdirect.org/cabdirect/abstract/19932020318 Triggers and health: https://goo.gl/JjidvH 27Putting yourself first: https://www.victoriahealth.com/editorial/the-importance-of-putting-yourself-first-1Put yourself first: https://goo.gl/jRLebp Functional Medicine: https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-6014/The-5-Principles-of-Functional-Medicine.html Honesty and health https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/07/honesty-healthy-lies-truth_n_1748144.html Costs of healthy eating: https://www.webmd.com/parenting/raising-fit-kids/features/healthy-food-cost#1 Finding balance: https://www.peacefuldumpling.com/is-fitness-taking-over-your-life-how-to-find-balance Children’s relationship to illness: https://academic.oup.com/her/article/21/5/643/751632

Hydrogen Water and How Energy Drinks Kill on Healthy Happy Hour with Jim Goetz and Chantea Goetz10/6/2020
Molecular hydrogen is a gas with very unique and selective antioxidant effects. Molecular hydrogen refers to diatomic hydrogen or H2 gas — two hydrogen atoms combined together. Hydrogen is the smallest molecule in the universe and is neutral and nonpolar, which is why its bioavailability is so great. It does not dissociate into its electrons and protons when dissolved in water, so it will not alter the pH of water or your body - so it really has nothing to do with the concepts put in place about alkaline water. Hydrogen gas is three times more energy-dense than gasoline, which is why it's being looked at as an alternative energy source or fuel. Hydrogen is what powers the sun and fusion in producing helium. Research is finding that hydrogen can also be therapeutic, and is effective whether you inhale it, dissolve it in water and drink it, or apply it using other methods. There are more than 1,000 peer-reviewed scientific publications on molecular hydrogen, which have collectively demonstrated that H2 has therapeutic potential in over 170 different human and animal disease models. In fact, hydrogen is shown to benefit virtually every organ of the human body, The reason why is because hydrogen targets and mitigates the root cause of many diseases, inflammation, and oxidation. Molecular hydrogen remediates oxidative stress, which is one of the most fundamental mechanisms that destroy human health. That's why molecular hydrogen is so exciting — because it has such unique antioxidant effects that specifically target only the most harmful free radicals. There are two basic definitions of an antioxidant: 1) a molecule that donates an electron to a radical reaction, and 2) a molecule that improves the redox status of the cell. Redox stands for oxidation reduction. In your cells, you need both oxidation and a reduction of oxidation in order for everything to work properly.When that balance gets perturbed by too much oxidation, you end up with oxidative stress. If you don't have enough oxidation, you end up with other serious problems. In many cases, damage is not caused by an excess of free radicals but rather a redox dysregulation. Although not marketed as such, the first energy drink may have been Coca-Cola, launched in 1886, as it originally contained two strong stimulants — caffeine and cocaine.The company's name — Coca-Cola — was derived from the coca plant from which cocaine is derived and the kola nut, the source of caffeine. In 1960, Taisho Pharmaceuticals in Japan made the first drink specifically targeted at increasing energy. It contained essential vitamins, taurine, and niacin, metabolic agents proven to boost energy and concentration. Recent research shows energy drinks significantly prolong electrocardiogram measurements and raise blood pressure. The goal of the research was to determine the impact energy drinks may have on electrocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters in healthy volunteers with no known heart disease risk. They gathered 34 participants with an average age of 22 years and enrolled them in a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled crossover study. The participants drank 32 ounces of energy drink A, energy drink B, or a placebo over 60 minutes on three study days. Between each study day, they underwent a six-day washout period. The primary end measurement was the assessment of various heart rhythms and electrical properties of the heart, referred to in medical terms as the QT and QTc (corrected QT) intervals, PR interval, and QRS duration.The QT interval refers to your heart rhythm, starting at ventricular depolarization (known as QRS complex) to ventricular repolarization (known as the T wave). In layman’s terms, it can be explained as the electrical pulses that govern the pumping action of your heart.Long or prolonged QT refers to fast, chaotic heartbeats that can trigger fainting, seizure, or even sudden death. According to the Food and Drug Administration, prolongation of the QTc interval (which is measured by the ECG machine) is an established risk factor for heart arrhythmias. Results confirm the energy drinks caused a prolongation of the QTc interval that remained sustained over a four-hour period, as opposed to being a transient effect. Both commonly available energy drinks had a similar effect on the electrocardiogram parameters.They contained a combination of caffeine, taurine, glucuronolactone, and B vitamins. The placebo drink contained lime juice, carbonated water, and cherry flavoring.The energy drinks also raised brachial and central blood pressure measurements. They recommended those with acquired or congenital long QT syndrome and/or those with high blood pressure should limit their intake of energy drinks as the beverages may worsen these conditions.Lead author Sachin Shah, Pharm. D., professor of pharmacy practice at the University of the Pacific’s Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy in Stockton, California, stated the effects went beyond what they might expect from caffeine alone. He warned:"We urgently need to investigate the particular ingredient or combination of ingredients in different types of energy drinks that might explain the findings seen in our clinical trial.”

In 1960, Taisho Pharmaceuticals in Japan made the first drink specifically targeted at increasing energy. It contained essential vitamins, taurine, and niacin, metabolic agents proven to boost energy and concentration. Building on this, in 1987 Austrian Dietrich Mateschitz added caffeine and sugar and renamed the drink Red Bull. By 1997, Red Bull was introduced in the U.S., followed closely by Monster Energy drink and then 5-Hour Energy. An explosion of sales occurred by 2006 and while others have garnered part of the market, Red Bull remains the best known with annual sales near $2 billion globally.By 2012, 13 deaths had been reported over the past four years as the result of using 5-Hour Energy. The market value is predicted to reach $61 billion by 2021 and it's estimated 30% of teenagers from 12 to 17 years drink energy drinks on a regular basis.

He warned:"We urgently need to investigate the particular ingredient or combination of ingredients in different types of energy drinks that might explain the findings seen in our clinical trial.” Dr. John Higgins, chief of cardiology at Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital, led a study looking at the effects of energy drinks on blood vessel function. He enlisted 44 nonsmoking, healthy medical students in their 20s and tested the students’ blood vessels before and 90 minutes after they drank a 24-ounce energy drink.The researchers found noticeably diminished function and diameter of blood vessels using an ultrasound measurement indicating overall blood vessel health. They found dilation was 5.1% in diameter before and fell to 2.8% after, suggesting an acute impairment of function.Higgins reports a lot of young people use energy drinks when they exercise, or in circumstances when the body requires top functioning arterial blood flow, so oxygen may get to the cells quickly. However, this reduction in vessel diameter effectively restricts blood flow and oxygen delivery. He commented:“It's more work for the heart and less oxygen supply for the heart. This could explain why there have been cases where kids have had a cardiac arrest after an energy drink.” Today, performance is the name of the game. From the gym to the office to the bedroom, more and more adults want to function at their best, mentally and physically. No matter your end goal... gain energy to push through fatigue, raise your metabolism to help burn body fat, maintain your blood flow, pump your muscles, or simply sharpen your mind... the drink you choose matters. The addition of hydrogen to water has these benefits in animal and human studies: -Demonstrated anti-fatigue effects on swimming mice -Pre-exercise hydration with hydrogen-rich water reduced lactate levels and improved exercise-induced decline of muscle function -A natural antioxidant to combat stress, and destroys free radicals without breaking down into new ones -May regulate immune responses and cardiometabolic disease There are a number of ways to administer hydrogen. For example, you can inhale hydrogen gas, and for this, there are inhalation machines you can buy. Caution is required, however. The gas produced at the cathode is hydrogen gas, but if the electrodes are impure or develop mineral buildup, and the water you're using has chloride in it, then chlorine gas can be produced, which you would then inhale.Other methods are drinking and/or bathing in hydrogen-rich water, and there are several ways to do that. For example, you could bubble it into the water from a tank of hydrogen gas and dissolve it under pressure. Just keep in mind that if you plan on storing it, you cannot use plastic containers, as the hydrogen molecules are so small they'll dissipate right through the container.For clarification, hydrogen gas is simply two hydrogen atoms bound together. When you dissolve it into water, it will not attach to the water molecules, so there's no risk that you're going to create some other structure. There are also intravenous hydrogen-rich saline injections and hyperbaric hydrogen therapy, developed in Japan.

Common Controversies in Health and Nutrition, and Our Opinions of Them Part 1
Other lifestyle factors to consider for minimizing your risk for heart disease include: -Reduce your net carbs and eliminate processed fructose. Replace the lost calories with higher amounts of healthy fats, not protein. -Normalize your omega-3-to-omega-6 ratio. Most get far too little omega-3, found in fatty fish such as wild Alaskan salmon, sardines, anchovies, fish oil and krill oil, and too much omega-6, as it is plentiful in processed vegetable oils and hence processed and fried foods. -Optimize your vitamin D level by getting regular, sensible sun exposure. Other nutrients of importance include magnesium and vitamins K2 and C. -Get eight hours of high quality sleep each night to normalize your hormonal system. -Get regular exercise and move your body as much as possible throughout the day.
Magnesium plays a vital role in biological function and mitochondrial health and is a culprit in the development of inflammation when your levels are low. It may also play a role in inhibiting the deposit of lipids on arterial walls and plaque formation.A century ago your diet provided nearly 500 milligrams (mg) of magnesium per day. Today, courtesy of nutrient-depleted soil, you may be getting only 150 mg per day. Your body flushes excess magnesium through your stool, so using magnesium citrate and monitoring stool consistency, consider starting with 200 mg of oral magnesium citrate and gradually increasing until you develop slightly loose stools. There are multiple factors affecting the inflammatory process in your body. Some of the more significant over which you have control, include:• Hyperinsulinemia — An excess of insulin in your blood triggered by a diet high in net carbohydrates. What you eat tends to be the deal-breaker in how much insulin your body secretes. However, there are other factors contributing to your insulin levels, such as smoking, sleep quality, exercise, and vitamin D level. • Unbalanced fatty acids — Your body needs a balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fats. Unfortunately, most diets have an overabundance of omega-6 fats leading to greater levels of inflammation. Strive for a 1-to-1 ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats to reduce inflammation and your risk of heart disease. The Minnesota Coronary Experiment was a study performed between 1968 and 1973 that examined the relationship between diet and heart health. The results were left unpublished until 2016 when they appeared in the BMJ. An analysis of the collected data revealed lowering your cholesterol levels through dietary intervention did not reduce your risk of death from coronary heart disease. The researchers found that for every 30-point drop in total cholesterol, there was a 22 percent increase in the risk of death from cardiac disease. Upon autopsy, the group eating vegetable oil and the group eating saturated fat had the same amount of atherosclerotic plaques in their arteries, but the group eating saturated fat experienced nearly half the number of heart attacks as the group eating vegetable oil.I know that we’ve covered a lot of information.
