EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

Freddie Kimmel (00:02.636)
Welcome to the Beautifully Broken Podcast brought to you by AmpCoil. I'm your host, Freddie Kimmel, and on this show, we discuss the common thread survivors share after walking through the fire, the practitioners making a difference, and the treatment modalities that deliver healing back into the hands of the people who need it most. Witness the inspiration we gain by navigating the human experience with grace, humility, and a healthy dose of mistakes. Because part of being human is being beautifully broken.

Freddie Kimmel (00:36.355)
Busy Bee Syndrome. I have coached for years on health and wellness before acquiring any formal training. And I picked up a lot of knowledge by navigating my own medical conditions and seeing countless doctors who knew a fraction of what I did. But what I discovered was through self experimentation. And I have to say, at the end of the day, there's no teacher like the firm backhand of life. And while these informal coaching situations, which I used to get involved in,

commonly involved exchanging supplement recommendations and workout tips while sharing a little coffee at Starbucks, it was something that came easy to me and I loved it. You see, in that fight or flight scenario, my brain had no choice but to soak up the means by which nicotinamide riboside fueled the backside of the mitochondrial energy pathway. Or how deuterium depleted water helped to remove excessive heavy hydrogen isotopes as they were clogging the little nanomotors inside each cell.

So in short, was addicted to information. This lifelong learner continued to acquire certification after certification, because I got really amped up about coaching. So I went to the International Sports Science Association. I got a Reiki certification. I went to the University of Colorado for gut health, and most recently, the Institute of Functional Health Coaching. However, with or without formal training, I would continue to see patterns in my clients.

both before and after all these certifications. I would have amazing clients who flew into action. I jumped, they'd say, high? 40, 50, 100 pound weight loss stories was not uncommon. know, confidence went up, energy went up, better pooping from everybody across the board, brain fog was a thing of the past. Overall health improved just by focusing on the health of the cell. If your cells are healthy, you'll be healthy.

And I would also have clients who hit a roadblock at some point in our adventure who would turn to I'm too busy as an excuse. So suddenly the work, the schoolwork, family, the wild pace of life, whatever, it took priority over the work we had set out to do a few months before. Food journals were empty, homework was pushed off to the next week, and these emails that we exchanged were slow to be returned. And the funny thing is I could always feel it coming.

Freddie Kimmel (03:02.191)
Like when you're dating somebody and that text message that was once returned in seconds turns to a few hours and then a couple days. Even with the excuses, you know in your heart, the honeymoon, it's over. And in some cases you get completely ghosted. Can I sidebar for a second on being ghosted? It is the lowest form of retreat from a relationship possible, personal or professional. The questions and suffering you leave that other person with is not only cruel,

but it deprives them of the information they had earned to be able to move forward with the possibility of growth back to the coaching. So at the onset of these coaching relationships, right, the inspiration is palpable. That first session is filled with a barrage of questions and an attempt to define what a dream life looks like. And then we just reverse engineer backwards. Now, if I had a magic wand,

What would that change? And I got to tell you, these questions open a floodgate of unvisited dreams and plans that have been stocked away in the body for far too long. Now next, we'd lay out a roadmap. I'll present a little science, what it says about the food, the movement, the good habit-forming techniques, and the perception of stress. Maybe we'll add in a little biohacking element like some PEMF or red light therapy, or maybe the life extension benefits of a sauna.

You know, I offer numerous options and then that client is going to make the decision based on what resonates in their body for that day. So that's the plan. And I bring plenty of motivation and we have supporting facts and we have a goal and we have an exchange. This is very important. We have an exchange of green energy because you've got to have skin in the game if you want to see a return on your investment. But wait a minute again, enter that excuse. I'm too busy. It would still happen.

Even with all this information and all this planning, now we all get busy and we all fall off track. This is a real thing in the modern world, the modern world that we have designed. However, I want you to consider and just hear me on this in your car, on the bike, in the gym, take this, this excuse off your list. And I'm going to make a really good case for it. Or at least I'm going to turn to Debbie Millman.

Freddie Kimmel (05:19.206)
and she's gonna do it. Because Debbie Millman is one of the most successful graphic artists in the world, here Debbie gives her take on this frequently given excuse. And I quote, of the many, many excuses people use to rationalize why they can't do something, the excuse, I'm too busy, is not only the most inauthentic, it's also the laziest. I don't believe in too busy. I think that busy is a decision.

We do the things we want to do, period. If we say we are too busy, it's shorthand for not important enough. It means you would rather be doing something else that you consider more important. That thing could be sleep, could be sex, it could be watching Game of Thrones. And if we use busy as an excuse for not doing something, what we are really saying is it's not a priority. Simply put, you don't find time

to do something, you make time to do things. We are now living in the society that sees busy as a badge. It has become a cultural cache to use the excuse, I am too busy, as a reason for not doing anything we don't feel like doing. The problem is this, if you let yourself off the hook for not doing something for any reason, you won't ever do it. If you want something, do it.

Don't let busy stand in the way, even if you are busy, make the time to do the things you want to do and do them. End quote. I love this. It's simple. It's liberating. We all get busy. No one is arguing that. Just know that busy is a choice and nothing is forced upon you. Find the things you want to do and do them. It is the same.

Flustered chaotic friends that are gonna constantly show up and tell you how out of control their life is how they're too busy to barely hold on to the steering wheel of life and that may be true, but don't use it as an excuse Now who's ready for some info some actionable steps because I just want to lay out here Here are my five steps to use when trying to stick to goals and eradicate that feeling I'm busy and just accept what is

Freddie Kimmel (07:39.176)
So number one is get more sleep. A majority of our fears are born of fatigue. Do you hear that? That resonates with me so strongly. Sleep before 11 p.m. is worth double of anything after midnight. When you are rested and recovered from the previous day's activities, all things are possible. When I am tired, nothing is easy, not even tying my shoes.

Do you know how hard it is to stick to a new way of eating after four hours of really, really bad sleep? I also note the great sleep experiment in the States when we decide to lose one hour of sleep for daylight savings time and heart attack rates go up by 26%. Yes, this is very real. Now, are you ready to quantify this? Here's a game changer. Start tracking your sleep for improvement. My favorite device,

is the Oura Ring, O-U-R-A, Ring for its sleep tracking ability and it can also monitor heart rate variability, which is gonna help you identify the days to really push it in the gym for athletic performance. I'll link that in the show notes. So number two is time management. Set time aside for learning how to manage your time. There's a daily planner, you can have an app on your phone, even a journal works great for blocking out time.

I'm a firm believer in the list and experienced great joy from crossing off each accomplished task, no matter how small. Sometimes I just need to build it out with very easy, simple things like brushing my teeth or taking a five minute walk, but this helps me. You know, I'm a good old fashioned guy on this one and I use a Google calendar to schedule a lot of things, which integrates everything, but I'm also a pen and paper kind of guy and I still have a planner and I write out all my events and tasks.

and schedules. Now here's one more thing with this time management. The pro tip overestimate how long things are going to take. Optimistic underestimation of how long a task is going to take is a major limiting factor in productivity across the board. This will also take some pressure off you while you're in process. I am eternally guilty of this. Something that would normally take a human two hours. I assume it's going to be 20 minutes and never fails. So number three is to do less. Examine

Freddie Kimmel (10:01.765)
all the commitments you have in your life. Some are going to be mandatory and some are elective. Try looking at everything through the filter of hell yes. If it's not a hell yes, it's a hard no, cut it out. Don't do it. Do what makes you happy. Life is so short. Okay. So number four is chunking. Try dividing big projects into small achievable mini goals or chunks of time. You have a big presentation coming up or a job interview. Now I'll devote

15 minutes on what I'm gonna wear. I'll devote an hour to mapping out a rough script of what I'm going to say or visualize for that perfect meeting. Maybe another five minutes to plan the best travel route to get to the event. These segmented tasks will give you little small victories after victory. This can also ease the mind from running that frantic movie of the whole event over and over and over on repeat. So number five is neurofeedback. Now,

Do you remember that scene in the matrix where Neo bent time and literally moved dramatically out of the pathway of six bullets from Agent Smith? Will you actually have the power to do that in your mind when it's functioning in peak performance? Bend time? Why not? So I could equate this training to meditating with an active feedback loop, giving your brain that information it needs to create faster, more efficient pathways in thinking.

Now I recently had the opportunity to try the neural optimal equipment for my friend Alex, connecting several diodes to my ears and my scalp. And I listened to a calming song through headphones, basically meditating. But when my mind would wander away from the meditative state, I would hear a skip in the music. And now I know this may sound frustrating, but I was really flying by the end of the session and throughout the day.

I felt this odd superior connection to my hands, strangely enough, and hands and feet, and it actually felt different to walk through space because of my mind body connection. And that was one session. I really felt different. So while this is something to explore, I wanted to give the biohackers out there something besides a standard old answer of meditate, dude. Although yes, you do need to meditate. Meditate for the brain that you want to save, just like brush the teeth you want to keep. You know, time perception.

Freddie Kimmel (12:19.553)
from the observer, it can be sped up or it can slow down based on the activity in your brain. Busy, busy may very well be a reflection of your inner turmoil. And one quick hack would be dedicated time to self-reflect, window gaze, breathe with intention, whatever you wanna call it. Also, it's free. My friends, that's it for now. As I've said before,

Well, I played a doctor on stage, I'm not one in real life. So all this information is just that it's free information and in no way is is intended to treat or cure any disease or illness. Thank you so much for listening to the Busy Bee. Remember, take I'm busy as one of the excuses you use for not doing something off the list. Namaste. Ladies and gentlemen, you made it to the end of the.
