Welcome to the Gritty Podcast. I am your host Brian Call and on today's podcast we're going to talk about taking care of your body fixing a broken body.

Are you one of those people who has spent your lifetime beating the hell out of yourself and then never really.

Taking care of yourself and let's be clear there are a lot of ways that you can damage your body from diet so if you're drinking two sodas a day.

Mountain Dew.

Mountain Dew.

Diet soda. If you're eating a lot of bread and sugar that'll wreck you in various ways.

If you've damaged your gut health that will wreck you in various ways.

If you overexercise or you injure yourself you have poor movement patterns that can cause you to be wrecked.

You don't drink enough water. You're you're continually dehydrated.

There's a lot of ways to damage your body over a long period of time and make it so you have an extreme deficit

that you don't even know you have and then it sneaks up on you and destroys you.

And a perfect example of what I'm talking about is this chapter coming from Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins.

In his book he's got this chapter that is just incredible. It's at the very end of the book and for those who don't know he's a retired Navy seal.

He went through buds Navy seal training three times to make it through.

He is an endurance athlete. He's been on Rogan's podcast. He's he's worked out with Cam quite a bit.

If you don't know he's won some major endurance races and such.

And he's an amazing athlete.

And the whole book is based on mental toughness just pushing through finding a way and how much more powerful our minds are

than we realize. Right. That so much of what keeps you from achieving some epic physical feet is actually your mind not your body.

That your mind quits long before your body really has to.

Yeah.

You can see that in wartime situations. You can see how people do incredible feats of survival when they have to.
