We learn about Pete’s exercise regimen.He mentions what inspired him to make this change, which involves Dr. Stephan has recently started blessing his food before he eats it.Pete shares his thoughts on vegetarianism and the Mediterranean diet.He then reveals why fast food is bad for you, despite using high-quality ingredients: the intention involved in creating the food. “You can’t unconsciously eat,” he explains. Pete offers his recommendations for those of us who don’t have private chefs.Does Pete get his food from local farmers markets?.He and Stephan then talk more about sugar. Pete explains the origin of Gatorade, and the ways in which it’s now different than it was.He then advises against consuming certain ingredients, saying that “if you can’t pronounce, neither can your body, and you don’t want to ingest them.” He walks us through how the body reacts to sugar, and why that’s a problem. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, drink 75 ounces of water a day. Pete offers a formula for how much water to drink daily: divide your body weight in half and then convert that to ounces.Pete then elaborates on what he means and how this is related to dehydration. Stephan returns to a point that Pete had mentioned, about varying eyesight being a symptom of dehydration.He then emphasizes the importance of staying hydrated and explains that chronically dehydrated people have lost their thirst response. If you’re sitting in the posture that Pete put Stephan in to help his finger, then sitting itself won’t be a problem, Pete says.Instead of answering briefly, Pete takes us on a journey through the way cells and the body operate.

Pete talks about the way we address pain by looking for the problem then offering the patient a solution.He and Pete then talk more about personal transformation. Stephan’s latest book is on personal transformation, rather than his usual topic of internet marketing.Pete also talks about Tony’s Life & Wealth Mastery program. We learn how Pete’s connection with Tony Robbins came about, and how Tony became a fan of the Egoscue Method.Stephan then expands on how he became familiar with the method.

Pete describes how his own experiences led to his creation of the Egoscue Method.What does the Egoscue Method provide that the Alexander Method, for example, doesn’t?.He also mentions how he came up with many of the exercises. In response to Stephan’s description of the “air bench” exercise, Pete explains that exercises aren’t necessarily for the muscles in which you feel them.Pete points out that you don’t need to go to an Egoscue clinic in person they do Skype appointments as well.What exactly is the Egoscue Method, and why would someone need to use it?.
