Episode #154: Danielle LaPorte: Nervous System Regulation, Spirituality, and the Pursuit of Longevity

Did you know there is a connection between spirituality, a balanced nervous system and longevity? When it comes to biohacking, we focus primarily on the supplements we can take, the peptides we can use, and the different  technology we can implement into our daily life. But, what many of us forget, is that our mental wellbeing plays a huge role in our health. We can do all the biohacks we want, but if our mental health is not balanced, we’ll struggle to optimize our health and longevity…plus, the brain-gut connection is a real thing!    My guest today is here to discuss why there’s more to the pursuit of longevity than just biohacks and supplements.   I’m joined by Danielle LaPorte, and we’re diving into the spiritual side of longevity and covering the corollary between the spiritual striving and the physical striving. We also discuss why a person's health history can be the key to healing, things you can do to eliminate any obstacles within your body, and how to balance your sympathetic nervous system with your parasympathetic nervous system.    Danielle LaPorte is a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 a group who, in Oprah Winfrey’s words, “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters.” Danielle is the creator of the Heart Centered Membership and the Heart Centered Leadership Program with 400+ leaders in 30 countries hosting conversation circles, retreats, and workshops in all kinds of communities and businesses.    What we discuss: 00:03:18: The light side and the shadow side of our obsession and pursuit of longevity  00:09:43: The corollary between the spiritual striving and the physical striving 00:14:36: The metaphors of the body 00:19:24: The correlation between pain and fear  00:26:01: The misperception that spiritual people are healthy all the time  00:35:16: Why going through a person's health history can be the key to healing 00:41:19: Why your entire life needs to revolve around regulating your nervous system  00:49:35: When we start to think differently, we will attract the right kind of healthcare providers  00:55:22: By accessing the energetic force within yourself, you can eliminate any obstacles within your body     Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Primeadine: Use promo code BIONAT15 to save 15% on your first order at https://oxfordhealthspan.com/products/best-spermidine-supplement  Sensate: Use code NAT to get 10% off at https://bit.ly/NatNiddam LVLUP: Use code NAT10 to save 10% off at https://lvluphealth.com/     Find more from Nathalie:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Danielle LaPorte:   Website: https://daniellelaporte.com/ Instagram: @daniellelaporte
