    As I talked about in the beginning of this video I shared with you two weeks ago, I went to medical school hoping to be taught the secret that would allow me to make, and keep, people healthy.   In fact, what I found out is that physicians really don’t know how to keep people healthy, and that we what we do know is confined not to health but to disease… to what can go wrong in the human body that makes us sick.

Your Body Is Speaking To You (I’ll Show You How)

  Every single one of us can get intuitive information, but I meet so many people who don’t feel that they are intuitive. Nothing could be further from the truth! Our bodies are always speaking to us about what is going on inside of us, all we need to do is listen.   To me, intuition just means feeling connected to our inner guidance system.

When You Are Doing Something Meaningful, Your Brain Works Better

  Now there is medical proof that the more you are self motivated when learning something, the better your brain works.   Published October 22, 2014 in Neuron, researchers found that having your own internal motivation, in the form of curiosity, not only allows your brain to have enhanced memory and function. Being curious about learning something enhanced the study participants absorption and ability to master the information they were curious to learn and even enhanced their ability to remember non-related information alongside it.
