Whether your fitness goal is completing an Ironman race, jogging a 5K, or simply tackling the stairs without getting out of breath, today’s guest has some surprising news on how you can get there quicker, by putting in less – yes, less – effort.

World-renowned sports scientist Professor Stephen Seiler joins us all the way from Norway, where he’s a professor in Sports Science at the University of Agder. Stephen specialises in studying elite-level sports performance. He’s spent years taking a 360-degree look at how top cyclists, rowers, cross-country skiers, orienteers, and distance runners, perform at such a high level without getting sick or injured.

As well as 100 peer reviewed publications, he regularly shares his findings on his YouTube channel and his X (formerly known as Twitter) feed. And, as his research cascades down to people like you and me, it’s becoming increasingly clear that what’s tried and tested in the elite, is equally if not more meaningful for us.

During this conversation, you’ll learn the 80:20 rule that Stephen has observed to be the most effective for performance and health. He explains why hard workouts are a stressor on the body, putting us in fight-or-flight mode – so they’ll increase your risk of burnout if the rest of your life is stressful too.

There are various ways to measure intensity, including lab-based tests. But Stephen explains his simple traffic light method – green, yellow and red – and what it feels like to be in each zone. He also explains his model of frequency, duration and intensity as a way of scaling your fitness up or down, whatever your starting point.

There are all sorts of health, wellbeing, metabolic and performance benefits to be had from staying in the green zone more. It’s something I’m discovering for myself over the past few years and I’ve got to say that I’m feeling fantastic as a result. I absolutely love Stephen’s work and I really hope this fascinating conversation helps get the message out that you can achieve a lot more by doing a little less.

No matter what life throws your way, there are a few things that will ALWAYS be in your full control: your attitude, your skill set, and your effort. While it’s important to be aware of new external opportunities and swing for the fences when they come your way, never let them distract you from investing in yourself. 

Investing in yourself doesn’t only mean hitting the gym or reading the latest personal development book – it goes beyond that. It means that we should invest in our personal finances, equip ourselves with the skills to make us recession-proof, set ourselves up for long-term success, and more.

Bob Proctor is a New York Times bestselling author, motivational speaker, success coach, and expert on the human mind. In short, he’s a master thinker. One of his bestselling books is called You Were Born Rich, which is all about finding success in your present rather than reaching for it in the future.

Feeling stuck and dissatisfied with where you are in your life is never a place we want to be in. Perhaps you are contemplating a major life change - moving to a new city, quitting your job, leaving a long term relationship - that you believe will be the antidote to your future happiness and fulfilment. Psychology shows that this might not always be the case. Wanting to change something about our environment may reflect that the true change we need to make is internal.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with author, philosopher, and app developer Sam Harris. They discuss the benefits of routine meditation, deleting X (twitter), the issue of defining a Higher Good, the reality of evil, and the difficulty in establishing a shared morality.

Sam Harris is the author of five New York Times best sellers. His books include The End of Faith, Letter to a Christian Nation, The Moral Landscape, Free Will, Lying, Waking Up, and Islam and the Future of Tolerance (with Maajid Nawaz). The End of Faith won the 2005 PEN Award for Nonfiction. His writing and public lectures cover a wide range of topics—neuroscience, moral philosophy, religion, meditation practice, human violence, rationality—but generally focus on how a growing understanding of ourselves and the world is changing our sense of how we should live.

Tired of being misunderstood all the time?

Are you looking for ways to stop living up to other people's expectations?

Then this podcast is for you. 

Today, Jay Shetty welcomes world-ranking professional tennis player Nick Kyrgios. Nick burst onto the pro tennis scene in 2012 after a prolific junior tennis career. Since his start he has captivated fans with a larger than life personality, passion for the game, and unpredictability. Kyrgios has won 7 singles titles and 4 doubles titles in his career, but 2022 marked the first time Kyrgios displayed his dominance making it to his first Grand Slam Final, winning 3 singles titles, and 3 doubles titles. He also reached the Quarter Finals of the 2022 US Open beating then-ranked No. 1 Daniil Medvedev and is one of the few players on Tour who have beaten the Big Three (Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal) at least once. 

In this conversation, Nick opens up about how his strong personality online has sparked hate and negativity - how misunderstood his persona is and how different he is with friends and family.

Nick also briefly talks about dark times, dealing with depression and addiction and turning the most difficult phase of his life into a pivotal moment to have the best year of his life when he reached the Wimbledon final. He also talks about looking at life beyond tennis and what awaits him in the future.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How to accept your flaws
• How to overcome fear and anger
• How to turn your life around
• How to deal with negativity
• How to become your best self

A truly inspiring story begins with a challenge and ends with a triumph, and Nick has just proven to us that success isn't elusive when you dream big and work hard for it. 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Today we are speaking with Style Coach Liz Wendler, who works with clients who are experiencing a life transition.  Whether you're a business owner, a business professional, a new parent, retired, experiencing an age or weight transition, or someone looking to rediscover their personal style, Liz is here to guide you through your life transition, style transformation and style journey. 

With 10+ years experience in personal styling, Liz works with individuals that are feeling stuck with their wardrobe. Her passion is to help clients step into their signature style with confidence and purpose so they can unlock the next level of your authentic self.

In this episode, we hear about the making of Liz Wendler from her early days of modeling and climbing the corporate Marketing & Sales ladder to the launch her own style coaching brand. We get deep on how she met her life partner, how that impacted her career and how children entered the equation. Maybe because I was in the throes of trying to understand how someone juggles early entrepreneurship and family, I wanted to know the nitty gritty of exactly how and who runs the ship at home. Who keeps the house in order? Who manages the kids’ social schedules? What happens when one parent travels? These are all answers one needs to have locked down in order to feel some sense of peace on the homefront while entrepreneurship threatens to wreak havoc on the career waters. 

We hope you enjoy this episode of the Balanceness Podcast. If you take anything from this conversation it should be that while entrepreneurship and family are hard, there’s nothing a little communication and planning cannot overcome. Whether you are in a life transition, starting your own business, raising kids or feeling the burn of starting a business, this episode will give you the tools to plan your next steps, to decide what is worth adding to the balance equation and to eliminate what is not.

Conventional medicine often fails us when it comes to hormonal imbalances. Hormones aren’t commonly tested, and many of the symptoms of imbalance are written off to aging and never addressed. Our hormones are like a symphony, with each one acting as a specialized instrument to keep our bodies in tune. Unbalanced hormones can lead to impaired mood, poor sleep, memory difficulties, sexual problems, and more. Get your hormones back in balance, and these problems usually disappear.

In today’s episode of a new series I’m calling Know Your Numbers, I dive deep into male and female sex hormones. I discuss what you should measure to understand your hormonal health in a whole new way, the difference between conventional and optimal lab ranges, and much more. 

You can test your hormonal health with Function Health, a company I co-founded. It has been a lifelong dream for me. Function is the first-ever membership that includes over 100+ lab tests and personalized insights from globally renowned doctors based on your results. Join Function at functionhealth.com.
