Brain Health Is Wealth

Wealth starts in the brain.

Wealth consists of what we feed our brains: food, beverage, sleep, content consumption (social media, news, entertainment, etc.), desires, thoughts, beliefs, self-talk, exercise, mindfulness, perspectives, and so on.

Literally, every choice we make affects our brain.

If we want success, health, wealth, love and abundance within all of these areas, we have to begin by loving ourselves and that means loving our brains!

What do you do daily to love your brain?

What You Didn’t Know About Me

Something only few truly know about me.

https://www.instagram.com/p/By0sgsZnWpO/?igshid=yobjxyxrbp3p

The last few years have been challenging to me mentally and physically as I took a another life altering risk to create the life I desire.

I decided to leave my “first love”, as @jciake refers to it (BMX) as, behind in all aspects as I chased a new dream to serve and support through my journey, education, and perspectives.

I didn’t have a plan, just a vision I have dedicated my life too.

A ton of adversity presented itself as soon as I made the choice to design a new path in my life.

Some say I’m “lucky” to live the life I do but I don’t believe in luck, just choices.

I come from no money, no upper hand, a ton of adversity against me, and no handouts. I have contributed to make the same choice, challenge the status quo and being told “no”. I’ve just implemented dedication, grit, perspective, mental and physical strength, and a perspective to never see “failure” as failure but opportunities to learn and grow.

Some may have said “no” to me, mocked me, or straight up doubted me in any fashion.

I thank all of you for your love and support, your hate, your faith, you doubt, and anything in between.

The feeling I get from going on stage, others sharing their gratitude for my sharing, and others opening themselves to me (a complete stranger) after I open myself up free of judgement and only love.

I’m grateful for the choices I’ve made and the life I live.

I do all I do to share the possibilities that we all live with and can take advantage of as soon as we decide to allow ourselves to live the life we desire and believe we deserve.

If I can, we all can and I won’t stop sharing that perspective.

Choose the belief in yourself and the life you desire.

Sad But True

This is pretty ridiculous but sadly spot on to the direction our society is heading.

What’s even sadder is the fact that many people don’t even have control over it because their brain is being hijacked by the biological affects of the foodlikeproducts our nation consumes on a regular basis, making up for over 75% of diets and is full of sugar.

I was once there but luckily for me, and my genetic predisposition, I stayed “in-shape” and was “healthy”. At least I thought I was healthy.

The inflamed state of my body from such a processed diet, along with mutated genes and specific negative genes activated, led me to being diagnosed with a non cancerous meningioma brain tumor.

Since then, I have made some serious changes to my lifestyle and diet and I share this with all of you to inspire each and every one of you to make just one small change to your lifestyle and diet that could have such a profound impact you’ll never fathom until experienced.

You don’t need to be perfect or do it all at once. Just adopt one small change here and there, and stick to it, and share what you experience with others.

@nutritionschool refers to this as the ripple affect and I have seen it take place on a regular basis in my life.

Love your body and treat it right. You won’t be disappointed.

Risk For Purpose

Crazy ride @david_goodall and I have been on the last 3 years as we both took a massive risk leaving our comfort zone and source of income to fulfill a new dream fueled by purpose to serve others.

The potential I find we were missing out on based on limiting beliefs is crazy to reflect on as we now manifest new dreams, and some, now that we have focused on our purpose, the life WE want and believe WE deserve, and continue to take non stop action even when times get tough.

It’s only a dream until it’s accomplished and if anyone that looks like you did anything you want, you have a blueprint. Take action, don’t give up, and be very very clear on what you want to accept in your life.

I Flew To Australia To Tell My Mentor I Took His Advice

2 years ago, as I walked out of a Santa Monica hotel wrapping up one of the first “Unstoppable” podcast episodes with Kerwin, he told me to somehow and in someway manifest a full-time videographer to document my life and share valuable content with all of you.

This video was the moment I got to share with Kerwin that I made that happen and am going to continue investing into my purpose and business.

It’s an incredible feeling making money by doing what I love, even after BMX, and to be able to take care of my friends and family at the same time.

The only thing stopping us from reaching out full potential in life and any goal we may have is what’s inside our mind.

I am living proof that we can acquire the things we desire in life when that desire is strong, consistent, and we believe in that desire while working our asses off.

Persistence is How I Made It Here

Persistence to land a trick has taught me many invaluable lessons in life.

To accept this kind of pain just to land a trick on your bike changes you mentally and subconsciously in such profound ways.

I wasn’t aware of it in the beginning but in my last few years competing and progressing, I started to become conscious to what was going on.

Now I harness it all for my purpose to serve and support those around me and willing to hear what I have to say.

Manifestation > ______

This photo is a manifestation of non-stop action, a belief, clear purpose, authenticity, and open mindedness.

Manifestation – noun: an event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something, especially a theory or an abstract idea.

I couldn’t express what this moment means to me as @createdbybrian and I embark on a brand new journey filled with excitement, fear, adventure, gratitude, and much more.

Brian and I met 2 years ago as I aimlessly walked into the gym he was working at seeking a coach to help me properly train for BMX.

Later down the road we began to connect more and more via speaking about Gary V, content creation, purpose, and collaboration of exchanging value.

Sometime after that, I recorded a podcast with @kerwinrae. As I began walking out the door, Kerwin stopped me and said “Josh, somehow and in someway, you have to manifest someone to document your life and help create content”.

I am proud to say that a new partnership (more coming soon) has allowed me to manifest just what Kerwin advised me on and I couldn’t be more stoked to say that Brian is now officially apart of my team.

Brian is beyond talented, he’s authentic, passionate, supportive and encouraging, and he has overcome a ton of adversity in his life to design his life the way he envisions.

This photo means the world to me because I couldn’t be more proud of both of our hard work and dedication to make this a reality.

We’ve both been busting our asses for years and are ready to hustle and grind even harder as we enjoy the journey with nothing but gratitude, clear purpose, and a strong work ethic.

Thank you @brianundy and @ryanplowery for your belief in us.

What are you manifesting in your life?

CONTEXT: Sushi

I get asked “how do you stay 100% keto all the time?”. Well, I don’t.

Now, if I had a sever condition such as cancer, seizures, etc., then the conversation would be different.

That said, 99% of the time I’m keto and on point. The other 1%, looks like this.

Still high in fat, cold rice (resistance starch, which is about 1-2 to 1/3 the carbs as when cooked) and @justpruvit ketones in my cup to mitigate the blood sugar spike and keep my brain fueled at the same time.

This is what I’d call my “cheat” meal, even tho I don’t believe in that phrase but for lack of better words, you get what I’m saying.

Still, no crazy sugars, processed foods, etc. Still real, whole food consumption. I also do an extended fast leading up to this meal and the next day as well as a fasted workout with some @justpruvit exogenous ketones to get back on track.

See photo 2 where I had a whole roll worth of rice we cut off 😂 trying to indulge but keto at heart problems.

This works for ME.

I should note that this DOES NOT work for everyone, especially if your metabolism is damaged or if you’ve not met your goals.

DM me if you have any questions.

Thank You, Prüvit.

Pure bliss because of all of you at @justpruvit KetoKademy & MØRE this past week in Orlando, FL.

I can’t stop sharing my love and gratitude for all of you and the energy you shared with me.

Like I said on stage, I never felt such a thing in all my years competing in the biggest events we have in our sport of BMX.

I can not wait to attend all the upcoming @justpruvit events and to be connecting with all of you even more.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my life, my heart, and my brain with your tribe @justpruvit @brianundy and the whole HQ team. Still buzzing off all the energy and then ketones.

Falling Down

We all fall down in life. Figuratively and literally.

BMX has taught me to always get up and try again.

This becomes subconscious when the DESIRE to succeed is so strong that you don’t see “failure” as an opportunity to quit, rather it becomes an opportunity to learn and grow.

Hitting the ground like this hurts but the feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction for accomplishing the goal you set out for is a like no other.

The cool part about non physical times we “fall down” is that they don’t physically harm us.

I’ve proven to myself every day I’m strong enough to pick myself up and keep at it for the life I envision, no matter how much it hurts.

Are you proving yourself?
