Welcome back to Well Said with Sid. I am Sid. I realize I never really introduced myself. So I'm

formally introducing myself, especially if you're new here. Today's episode was something I've wanted

to talk about for a really long time. And it's kind of the approach like in the laws of nature.

And what I mean by that is like breath work, sound baths, you know, stimulation in the body and all of these topics that come along with that of your nutrition, your movement, your environment, your sleep, all of these things coming together.

I sat down with Harvey Martin, who is the head of human performance at the San Francisco Giants. And he's also the founder of the

Mind Strong project and a breath and human performance coach for that team, the San Francisco

Giants. He works with a unique approach of the laws of nature. So he's creating adaptation

through basic necessity of breathing, nutrition, movement, and sleep. And he works through environmental

stressors and all of these things with athletes. And I just think, although he works with athletes,

he really talked about the episode as being holistic for everyone, not just an athlete.

And I walked away from this episode with tangible tools to apply to my daily

life, which he gets to in this episode and in this podcast. And he also talks about the flows of

life, the downs to bring you into the ups and the power of the people around you and learning.

And I just, this episode was so cool. Harvey is super intelligent and analytical and

thought provoking. So I hope you feel and leave this episode feeling creative, empowered to

be closer to nature and have some changes in your everyday lifestyle so that you can

slim the stressors in your day-to-day life.

Let's get into it.

Thank you. Harvey is here. How we doing? I'm doing well. Welcome to Well said. I'm excited to have you because I, um, as a former athlete, I say athlete very loosely because I was not a pro athlete. I was an athlete through my entirety of my life. One of the hardest memories I have of my previous life, you know,

things that I've lived through was giving up sports. I feel like that was a dark time for me

because I didn't know what to do or where to turn. So this conversation is going to be very

exciting. And I think a lot of people can take away a ton of information from it. I'm just,
