198: Jim Poole – Hacking Your Way to Deep Stress Relief and Body Recovery

“Everything is about frequency. NuCalm is about managing frequencies.” - Jim Poole Hey, guys, welcome back to ONKEN RADIO (previously NION Radio). In this podcast, we explore the body, mind, and soul of the creative entrepreneur. It's my goal to help you take your creativity, business, and life to the next level. I'm so glad you're joining me on this journey! Last time, I recapped my trip to Arkana, where I experienced some of the most potent and profound plant medicines on the planet.I got this very vivid picture of how we get to fine-tune and take care of these human bodies of ours. I realized the importance of paying attention to what we're putting into our bodies so that we can achieve our higher selves.  Today's episode is another biohack that we can use to upgrade our system, mind, and body. It's a neuroscience technology aimed at managing the human brain to have our extraordinary lives in color. To help us go in-depth with this new technology, I have the CEO of NuCalm on the show — Jim Poole! In this episode, Jim and I talk about what NuCalm does. We dive deep into its neuroscience and how it can help you deal with stress, fear, recovery, and so much more. So if you're ready to hack your way into deep stress relief and body recovery, let's dive in! Who Is Jim Poole? Before he met the inventor of NuCalm, Jim had been a part of plenty of large companies. He also worked as a managing partner for Focused Evolution. Focused Evolution is a management-strategy consulting firm specializing in developing and implementing growth strategies for companies at every stage of the business life cycle. The firm has a global clientele and has served businesses throughout the medical device, life sciences, dental, IT, and financial industries. In 2009, he became the president of Solace Lifesciences, a neuroscience company focused on personalized evidence-based wellness and performance. After learning about NuCalm's neuroscience technology's potential power to manage the human brain, Jim became a convert.  NuCalm is now the company's flagship product and the world's first and only patented technology clinically proven to lower stress and improve sleep quality without drugs. It naturally and safely creates deep relaxation within minutes with no side effects. Today, NuCalm is used by 49 professional sports teams, adopted by the U.S. military, and is newly available for personal use on a subscription-based plan.  The insights that Jim gained over the years of dedication and work in NuCalm led him to discover and gain the wisdom he's going to share with us. Biohacking: The Science Behind NuCalm As humans, we all have the so-called “reptilian brain.” This reptilian brain pushes us to secure our survival, which sadly sabotages in various ways. Jim explained how post-traumatic disorder, one sign of our reptilian brain working, is treated in today's world. "Dr. G. Blake Holloway, the creator of NuCalm, was wholly unimpressed with how PTSD was treated with conventional therapy and narcotic-based pharmaceuticals and cognitive behavioral therapy to the brain. He believes that this isn't a place where we can calm down. So if you're in a constant state of hypervigilance and fight or flight, you're not even at a baseline opportunity to begin the healing process." - Jim Poole The silver lining, though, is we have the resources and expertise to deal with it today. Jim shared how NuCalm, a product of wellness tech, can make this possible. "Our nervous system has two parts: the central nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The central nervous system governs our security. It's responsible for keeping us alive. Meanwhile, the autonomic nervous system governs human fear, stress, anxiety, and depression. It's the reptilian part of our brain, which has a pretty strong, important role in our life. NuCalm's role is focused on balancing the reptilian brain, which has evolved over 40 million years ago."
