Hey folks, it's Ben Greenfield and as I promised last week, kind of geeking out on sound

right now and how sound and how music can improve human performance.

And I've got a guy on the call today who happens to be a musician, but also somebody who

performs and is into fitness and fat loss himself.

So I've got Abel James on the call today and Abel actually has a podcast on iTunes called

The Fat Burning Man Show and a website over at fatburningman.com and besides being a fat

loss coach and a health crusader, he is a musician and he lives in Austin, Texas, which is a great

area for being a musician from what I understand.

And he also wrote a book called The Musical Brain, which I've had the pleasure of reading

and it's kind of a book that explores biology and kind of how musical training and musical

experience affect the brain.

And we'll talk a little bit about music today, but we'll also get into sound and everything

else.

So Abel, thanks for coming on the call.

Hey, you got it.

Thanks so much for having me, Ben.

So a lot of places that we can start, but I guess the basic overview because I think

a lot of people may not really understand about how physiology and biology is affected

by sounds.

Yeah.

Can you kind of lay out how sounds and frequencies actually affect our physiology?

Sure.
