Achieving Stress Resolution with Former Navy Seal Christopher Maher

Christopher Lee Maher is a retired US Navy SEAL, best-selling author, and holistic wellness pioneer who is regarded as an unparalleled authority in stress resolution, healing, personal evolution, and longevity. He spent much of his life in what appeared to be peak physical health, but soon learned that his internal health was deeply compromised. This realization kickstarted Christopher’s journey developing a comprehensive program of total healing and integration called True Body Intelligence. By working to help others diminish the stress they store in their bodies, Christopher uses TBI as a tool to help resolve the fear, weakness, and distortion that often holds people back from their full potential.

3:08

Christopher yeah I'm excited to be here yeah I can't wait to uh really get into

3:14

your topic but before we get into the meat of that can you tell our listeners

3:20

so I see you were you were a Navy SEAL can you talk about like what even drove

3:26

you into being coming a Navy SEAL what was that experience like and how'd you bounce

3:33

out I was at a friend's house and I was helping his mom move from their

3:39

Farmhouse to this new house that they bought and in the basement was this B

3:45

anual magazine about SEAL training in the SEAL Teams and I picked it up and

3:51

there were these guys on the cover running down the beach with these telephone poles on their shoulders gri

3:58

grimacing okay and I looked at that and I thought wow that looks like the ultimate Challenge

4:05

right yeah and I think that's what I needed at the time you know I just quit college and um I just sold my business I

4:14

was running um sandwich shop called the hogy king out of a a coal mining town in

4:20

Pennsylvania sheno and I just thought man I need

4:25

something there's got to be more to life than this and that answered the call for me so how old were

4:33

you I was 19 oh young business owner 19 that's

4:40

nice yeah yeah I was 19 and uh you know when you're getting up at

4:46

4:35 in the morning to go pick up cold cuts at some point when you're 19 that

4:52

gets really old really really fast sure you know and you're dealing with you know I was close to an industrial park

5:00

and we had the late night drunks coming in you know serving them sandwiches and pizza and gravy on fries and then at

5:09

some point you're like this is this is not it that like this isn't the vision I was having when I was daydreaming in

5:15

high school so when I saw that picture and then I read through the rest of the

5:21

magazine within two weeks I was at the recruiter's office within four months I was out the door wow well you had already been

5:28

getting up early so yeah boot camp must have been no problem for

5:34

you yeah and they they definitely uh pushed that envelope as far open as you

5:40

can get it right um yeah I mean it was uh how do I say it

5:47

I was really young and I needed something to push me now once I got into

5:52

SEAL training into SEAL Teams I realized everybody had a different motivation right some guys wanted to Sky di for

5:58

free some guys wanted to shoot cool guns other guys wanted to prove their dad's

6:04

wrong like I didn't have I wasn't there to show someone that I I was important I

6:13

just knew that I wanted to be challenged physically mentally and emotionally and then so how long were

6:20

you in the Navy Seals so I was in the Navy for eight years and I was in the

6:25

naval special Warfare Community for seven years wow and so what does that involve

6:32

exactly what does that involve that involves you know you go through SEAL training and

6:38

uh it took me a while to get through SEAL training because I had was injured

6:43

and that I was diagnosed incorrectly as being epileptic oh wow um and so I had

6:49

to go through this whole process of meeting with a it's called a physical evaluation board and dealing with this

6:56

doctor named Dr KRON who uh he himself never made it through SEAL training and

7:03

was looking to make sure that no one else made it either and I had sort of like figure out a strategy to go behind

7:10

his back and get another MD to read my test that they had taken and she didn't

7:17

and I went to the physical evaluation board told him the entire story right in front of him and they said Son uh you're

7:24

dismissed why don't you go back to Seal training and Captain Kron why don't you

7:30

stay here we're going to have another conversation and so I got through that

7:36

and the SEAL Teams is uh how do I say it it's uh it's work hard and play

7:45

harder right and you're up all SEAL Teams um our job is conducted

7:54

when it's dark out right because we have to use the element of surprise because we are a very small tactical Force so in

8:01

a platoon there's only 16 guys in a platoon and so when you get uh tasked

8:07

with an operation then you have to ready yourself and you know it's fun in the

8:14

sense that every week or two weeks you're doing something very different you know you could be in Puerto Rico

8:19

doing diving you know month later you could be uh doing Close Quarters battle

8:25

in Korea you know all the training is really really amazing so when you walk

8:30

across the stage and they give you that diploma you know at that point that you're in charge of your own life right

8:37

and I think probably something that's missing in society for young men is this

8:43

honoring this this this sheering them from being a boy into being a man right

8:49

from being irresponsible to being responsible what you have that as a man

8:54

that's an interesting point exactly how how does one get how does that shepherding thing work yeah I think it's

9:02

the um it's a right of passage you know I think young men have to be challenged

9:08

and there needs to be consequences for your either your Rebellion or your

9:14

confusion your absent-mindedness and you need to do that under circumstances one that are

9:20

safe but also that stretch you um and sort of force you to grow up right and

9:28

Seal training does that H so you've you were 28 when you were when you completed

9:33

your yeah yeah I was yeah I was 27 technically but still really young yeah

9:39

and was it the physicality and the psychological intensity of going through

9:46

that program and being a part of that team is that where your health issues developed yeah those definitely

9:53

developed there because one uh how do I say um if you look at stress right there

10:00

there's two basic categories there's lifetime accumulated stress and then there's daily accumulated stress well in

10:06

Seal training because they're piling so much stress on you every day well within

10:12

a 24-hour period you're never able to recover from the stress that you took in that day so the next day so Tuesday is

10:20

full of Monday's unresolved stress Wednesday is full of a little bit of

10:25

Mondays and Tuesdays right because sometimes you know we might be in bed at 1:00 in the morning we're up at 4:30 and

10:33

we grinded hard all day long so there's no way that you know 4 and 1 half hours

10:40

of sleep is going to be sufficient enough in order to recover fully so each day I was in the habit of pouring in

10:48

more stress than I was uh taking out of my system so your sleep's job is to do what it's to recover from all the stress

10:56

that you put in the 16 hours before for right and so when you're always behind

11:01

on sleep and your activity level is higher than you can recover from then what's going to happen your body's going

11:07

to start accumulating more and accumulating more and accumulating more and accumulating more and then eventually systems in your body are

11:14

going to say hey bud uh this doesn't work for me because the body will push back if you overload it and once you go

11:22

through something like Seal training you don't have an off button you you have a button and the button is always on right

11:29

so even after you get out of the Seal training and the SEAL Teams and you enter back into society your foot's

11:36

always pushing the gas to Full Throttle because that's what you know that's what's that's become your normality it's

11:43

your muscle memory so is speak yeah yeah the muscle memory but really the the

11:49

nervous system right has I said that as a you know kind of as a in a larger

11:54

sense it becomes the norm thing yeah because once you charge the nervous

12:00

system the nervous system is causing your adrenal glands to produce

12:07

adrenaline at the same measure every single day and so that adrenaline when you wake up it's it's already kicked in

12:14

and so now you're looking for things in the outer world that match the adrenal

12:19

and cortisol levels that you're used to on a daily basis is that what drove you

12:25

into pursuing the Olympics yeah I mean I think the thing that I thought is once I

12:32

got out of SEAL training and SEAL Teams I looked over my life and assess and I thought when was everything going the

12:39

best and it was the best always when I was being athletic and so I thought well why don't we pick a goal and head in

12:46

that direction and let's see what happened and so I chose the Olympic trials got a coach went back to school

12:53

joined a team and went Full Throttle the challenge was is that I was still in a

13:00

Seal Team mindset and so I thought you could train hard all day every day uh

13:06

when you're doing sophisticated athletic performance and you can't you can push

13:12

that way when you're doing grunt work because you're not required to race and when you're racing your body has to have

13:19

a certain level of rest and I never had that so I was still you know going to

13:25

school fulltime I was running a business full-time and I was trainer for the Olympic trials full-time and then I had

13:31

a girlfriend and so there was never any time to sort of sit back and relax and

13:37

you know when you're when you're training and running you're even Saturdays and Sundays those are still

13:44

training days and so I was always training that's all I knew you know I had I think I had over attached to my

13:53

sense of what it was to be an athlete and I had this image and it became sort of an identity for me and then my body

13:59

said look I need you to break away from this identity so if I need to break myself in order to get you to wake up

14:06

and reach out and ask for help then that's what I'm going to do and because I was in Seal training and SEAL Teams

14:11

whenever I had pain I was always overlooking the discomfort wow right

14:17

because in Seal training they teach you if you don't mind it doesn't matter what does that mean it means if you don't mind the discomfort keep moving forward

14:25

it's okay and once that becomes part of your identity as a young man how do you

14:31

how do you get yourself out of that when your greatest achievement is driven by

14:37

that strategy and so that was very difficult was the coach that you had for your Olympic Training like giving you a

14:44

different perspective uh was he giving me a different perspective Manny um no he wasn't giving

14:52

me a different perspective he was you know you I chose every pract I approach

14:59

approached every practice like it was a race right so Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and Friday well we race on

15:05

Saturdays and Sundays so by the time I got to the race I was tuckered

15:10

out so I guys yeah just you know so I again I only had one speed and you learn

15:18

in order to survive in Seal training you have to learn how to push past what you

15:25

believe is your threshold every day because they pile A Little More on every

15:32

day like when you walk through the quarter deck at SEAL training it says the only easy day was yesterday now retrospect I understand but when I

15:40

stepped in the door I didn't truly understand what that meant well if that's been how you've been living for

15:48

you know seven plus years how do you get out of that and so your body was your body was telling you

15:55

right is that what so when at what point did you start to have the chronic muscular skeletal pain and loss of your

16:02

hearing Oh by by 29 wow yeah by 29 yeah because my system had gotten so tight

16:10

and you know I'd never heard of Chinese medicine I never heard of yoga or you know I'm from Pennsylvania so um let's

16:18

and I was raised on a dairy farm so I know what hard work is and so you work

16:23

hard then you go have a beer right it's pretty simple so um I kept that mindset

16:29

and those things didn't blend well together because I was dehydrating

16:34

myself and I was overtraining constantly I wasn't getting enough sleep but on the

16:40

outside I still look like aonis right so I'm still getting positive Reflections

16:45

from everybody I'm still performing at a high level and so when you're getting

16:50

that positive recognition you don't think anything wrong is going on and so I just kept pushing through pain because

16:58

that's the only that I knew and then what was the Catalyst what was the Catalyst that pushed you into seeking

17:05

out the um the Chinese medicine approach and whatnot well I I wasn't smart enough

17:13

to to do that myself so I got in a car accident right I was at a red light and

17:20

um a guy who was feeling nostalgic bought a car that he had in high school

17:27

and he was fixing it up and he took it out for a drive uh started at the top of

17:32

a really tall Hill and then his brakes didn't work oh my gosh and he came

17:38

crashing through uh the stoplight and T-boned my car and then I had to go to the hospital

17:45

and then after that everything that was buried underneath came straight up to the surface you know knee pain for EAS

17:52

easy to ignore and neck pain and stiffness that stuff but once it gets into the center of your hip it's very

17:59

difficult to ignore because it was like someone had an ice pick and every two or

18:04

3 seconds they were sending it right into the middle of my hip and so I then

18:10

you know just had to bend the knee it was too much so they wanted to like were

18:15

you advised medically to have a hip replacement oh 1,00% yeah that was the the only option for me it was like look

18:22

you've got to replace this thing I was like M okay that doesn't sound good well you know you could just you know watch

18:29

an operation you know and and when you see what they use to cut the bone open

18:36

right and I thought yeah no way this is ever going to happen there must be another way and so I got on my knees and

18:43

you know I prayed and I kept praying every day that you know something powerful would happen a guy that I went

18:50

to boarding school with named Mark P Elijah he uh sent me a link to a guy

18:56

that was doing some stretching and I thought hey I've got it covered I'm

19:01

doing Fel in Christ I'm doing the OSU method you know I'm doing hot

19:07

yoga I'm utilizing everything that I can to put my body Back in Balance and I was

19:14

grateful for all the practitioners that helped me but what I really needed was I

19:20

needed to go a mile and the people I was working with they were able to take me an inch because when I got started on

19:27

this path there was wasn't anything out there right that actually could answer the call because no one really no one

19:34

had applied you know Newton's basic laws of uh forces is directly proportional to

19:40

the amount changes directly proportional to the amount of force applied so they were massaging me and attempting to go

19:47

on my tissues but your tissue can only handle so much force because you have nerve pain when they drive their elbows

19:54

in so I was doing rol thing and and uh H work and anyone who could get in there

20:00

and start moving some of this pain out of my system and I learned to get used to receiving pain and then at some point

20:08

you know I uh sat down with this guy and he started to teach me a few things and it made a lot more sense and within what

20:16

an hour and a half two hours all the pain at every joint was gone on one end I'm happy but on the other end I'm

20:23

really kind of pissed off because now I'm 33 and I've spent all this time I've

20:29

spent all this energy and I spent all this money and he was able to sort me out in an hour and a half how did he do

20:36

that exactly he did that by I mean he had some wild techniques he had like my

20:42

leg in a ladder he was standing on my back I was you know twisting in different position so basically the

20:49

muscles were under maximal contraction and stretching simultaneously and when that was happening that maximum force

20:57

was changing what are called bone rotational relationships well what sits between your bones well joints so if the

21:03

bones are rotated in the correct direction which means that you have structural Distortion you're going to

21:08

have an excessive amount of friction on your joints and then that's going to lead to swelling and that the surrounding swelling is going to push on

21:14

the nerve tissue which is going to give you the sensation of pain so basically we started reverse engineering you know

21:21

the tension that I had put in and it was very uncomfortable but in the end when

21:26

he was done there was no pain left in my body that seems somewhat high risk though no it's not high risk because

21:33

it's actually lowrisk what's high risk is going to like a yoga class where you're not Contracting your muscles at

21:38

maximal contraction and because you're not you're putting all of your soft tissue at risk right like um most people

21:46

don't hurt themselves when they're weight training because the muscle's under contraction as long as the muscle's under contraction it's safe the

21:53

contraction is what's protecting the muscle it's when you get into these classes and you're over stretching and

22:00

you're passively opening your muscles well now because you're passive you're

22:06

over stretching all that connective tissue and that's when you are at risk for injury sure you have a thought have

22:12

anything well yeah I guess the um uh typically a lot of the a lot of

22:19

the pain and things results from the fascia and the um interconnectivity of

22:25

the fascia and the ligaments that are surrounding the muscle Muses and the connective tissue there um and I guess

22:32

my um and like in Whiplash victims which is sounds to me as though you had a

22:39

horrific Whiplash uh uh experience and that uh and that

22:46

subsequently U actually activated all those um maybe you had reached because

22:52

of all the stress and that over the course of your life um and maintaining

22:57

those m maximum outputs had consumed a lot of that Reserve that you have the the stem cell reserve and all those

23:04

things that um by virtue of the inflammation and and all the stress that you've been putting yourself under and

23:11

you know and it took it took somebody that was familiar with the technique to to relax the the the tension and the

23:17

inflammation and those ligaments and the and the connective tissue that you had

23:22

um and somebody sound like that the guy was phenomenal quite frankly literally phenomenal yeah and uh so and a lot of

23:31

times a lot of times you know in conventional medicine um I guess my

23:37

background over the last decade or so has been um has been doing PL therapy

23:44

and uh and working with the muscular skeletal uh muscular skeletal issues U

23:50

using stem cells and things like that and I guess um I guess the when when

23:57

those things happen the distribution of the pain is very very similar to the nervous distribution but in actuality

24:03

the pain is being caused by the uh by the ligaments and not not by the nerves

24:10

themselves so it's the transmission of those of those uh um the damage and the

24:16

injuries there that actually that actually trans get transmitted via the nervous system and the distribution is

24:23

so similar that many orthopedic surgeons and uh Sports medicine physicians not

24:30

being aware they'll think well this is because of you know nerve compression or nerve damage and it sounds like your

24:37

your practitioner there was already aware of all that and was able to guide

24:43

you out of the out of that uh morass so to speak uh with his with his experience

24:50

yeah yes it's a phenomenal story phenomenal story I love it and and when

24:55

you get out of that you know you're not only does that impact you

25:01

physiologically and structurally it impacts you emotionally and psychologically so the greatest part of

25:07

that was when I left and went to the airport for the first time in about 7

25:14

years I had people bumping into me where before people when I walk through an airport anywhere in the public they

25:20

stepped directly out of my way because they could feel that intensity they could feel that energy from SEAL

25:26

training and the SEAL Teams interesting like I've had NFL linebackers that saw me and as soon as I was walking towards

25:32

them they just they just stepped right out of the way from the intensity but as soon as that stress load was brought to

25:41

neutrality everyone was bumping in and I was like what's going on am I like a pinball inside of a pinball machine like

25:48

I would sit down on a flight and whoever had their arms on the armrest if they were there before me they would just

25:53

pull their arms in and now they were like this is my armrest and I was like oh okay and on flights people would

26:01

never talk to me and then suddenly everyone wanted toah blah blah blah and I was like what is going on like this

26:07

and am I like in The Truman Show like everything here everything here is shifted so um once I realized that then

26:18

I had to call him up and go Hey listen I want you to understand there are psychological and emotional impacts to

26:24

the pain that was resolved and I went back to my class that I teach it was a Wednesday night women's class and I

26:32

always got there 15 minutes before them and I set up this whole little Fitness course for them to do and I got there

26:40

and you know they were standing around and I said Hey listen what would you ladies like to do the night and they

26:45

were looking at me very confused like with their dogs like dogs with their heads turned to the side right right

26:51

dogs tilted and they were like right this guy asking us what we want to do

26:58

where 's our Taskmaster and then I said to them hey why don't you warm up for 15 minutes you

27:04

know if you want to walk walk if you want to run run if you want to sit here and jump rope we got some jump ropes and

27:09

you know let's say at uh 5:30 you know we'll get started and figure out what it

27:15

is you'd like to do tonight and they were very confused and then I realized

27:20

at the very end of that training session I said look I'm no longer going to be doing what we're doing so if you want me

27:27

to find find somebody to help you keep your Fitness levels up I can do that but

27:33

I'm going to do this other stuff that I just experienced and on my way home

27:38

because at the time the way that my brain was functioning it was always what's called retroactive so I was on a

27:44

different timeline so I didn't realize in the moment that I was being different with them it occurred to me 25 minutes

27:52

after class when I was driving home and I was like whoa hold on I just did my class in a completely different format

27:58

and at that point I was like oh my brain is working retroactively well as I

28:03

continue to keep reducing the lifetime accumulated stress load my orientation

28:08

time changed to present centered future as opposed to present centered past and

28:15

that was a wild experience because before that time I was always wondering like why am I understanding more about

28:22

experiences the further I get away from them rather than in the moment and so

28:27

now now I'm shifting psychologically I'm changing emotionally I have shifted

28:34

physiologically and structurally and my posture was completely different so instead of my shoulders being up and

28:41

back and my chest protruding forward okay everything was here and I was down

28:47

and back and so I had this very relaxed posture and I remember I went to this grocery store named jimbos in delmare

28:54

San Diego and this woman came up to me in the store she was like ah you're just the most peaceful person I've ever met

29:00

honey and I was like like this is too weird I don't know what's going on

29:06

because all I ever got before was like man you're like the most intense person I've ever met and So within a 5-day

29:12

period I've gone from being projected on to as the most intense person to the

29:18

most peaceful person that anyone's ever met in five days in five days so that

29:24

experience you had with the guy twisting your body is that a one and done and you were good to go or you had homework that

29:31

was oneand done in terms of working with him if that's what I wanted but once I

29:38

think when you've been living in Hell long enough you realize that there's a way out you want to push the envelope so

29:47

I still had all that training from the Seal team so I just turned SEAL training into heel training so any place in my

29:54

body where I found discomfort or pain I just went after and that literally became my lifestyle so 5 six hours a day

30:01

for seven years I just had my foot on the gas because I wanted to continue to keep balancing and balancing and

30:07

rebalancing because I started to realize my intelligence was increasing my emotional intelligence was getting

30:13

higher my analytical intelligence was getting higher my brain was functioning much faster um my my looks were changing

30:22

right my um my communication was shifting and so once you recognize all

30:31

these things are happening you just start feeling better and better and better and better and better and I was getting lighter in my personality and so

30:39

I got to the place where I used I'm from Pennsylvania I was raised in the Catholic church and so I had a lot of

30:46

Catholic guilt about doing anything that was imperfect and suddenly I was like I was guilt-free and I was like are you

30:52

kidding me all you have to do is remove tension and stress and you are no longer

30:58

labor with guilt any longer and then people started calling me to receive

31:03

help and I was like okay and what's this is a great story because I just met the

31:10

f I went to Sweden to help this woman um 7 days ago I was at the Olympics working

31:16

with some athletes and um and observing them emotionally that I had been helping

31:22

prepare for the last few years I went to Sweden to help A friend's mom who was suffering from debilitating back pain

31:29

she's been in bed for 17 years oh my gosh she has enough energy and she can

31:36

deal with her pain for no longer than than five minutes if she's been standing

31:42

right so if she's been up for five minutes her pain is debilitating so she can basically take a shower bathe

31:48

herself every few days and she can um get enough energy to go to the bathroom

31:54

but she has to have people who cook for her and okay so when I left um that place called calar I had to go

32:01

back to Paris through Stockholm so I stopped in Stockholm and I called a woman that was my first client and she

32:09

said to me you know it's been 24 years since you did that work on me she go

32:15

that's been the most profound experience I've ever had my entire life still to this day and I didn't know what I was

32:21

doing I was doing to her what he was doing to me but I didn't really know

32:26

what was going on but she was crying and and and letting go of a lot of emotions

32:34

and I was just looking at her like hey we're just taking out some tension I've I'm not like hurting you I don't know

32:39

why you're crying like in my mind I didn't know how to to comfort her I was

32:45

just sort of shocked that all of this was coming out and so at that point she had needed more help when I arrived in

32:52

Stockholm and she goes I don't know how you do it you arrived at the same exact moment that I was was at 24 years ago

32:59

wow that's how I knew you know God's always in charge and so I just showed up and I helped her and I just thanked her

33:06

I got to say look because of you and this experience that I had with you I decided to make this my life helping

33:14

other people and so I got to 24 years later return that gift that she gave to

33:20

me back to her that's cool cool story that was powerful like full circle moment that's amazing really neat so

33:28

jumping jumping to another not another but sideways maybe um I wanted you to

33:34

touch on uh the difference between Stress Management and stress resolution

33:40

so I think I think most people are looking for management approaches as

33:46

opposed to complete resolution approaches what does that mean to use

33:52

specifically yeah uh well in well there's three categories really there

33:57

there's there's stress ignorance which is where most people are okay and then

34:02

there's negative Stress Management tools which would be nicotine caffeine alcohol

34:10

pharmaceutical drugs recreational drugs food colorings preservatives and you

34:17

know addiction just poor low function behavior and then there's positive

34:22

Stress Management tools so that would be like stem cells yoga breath work uh any

34:29

form of exercise meditation and then there stress resolution and so I think

34:35

it's great that people can um now there's this whole uh sector of society

34:43

there's this whole Niche that's been developed around positive Stress Management but when my mom was a kid and

34:49

she was dealing with her stress there were no positive Stress Management tools besides prayer right you could go see a

34:56

therapist and and you could talk but if you were in a community in Pennsylvania

35:01

small town and you were going to see a psychologist everybody thought you were crazy and so nobody wanted that as part

35:08

of their image right so if you were going to see a psychiatrist or psychologist it was under wraps and so

35:16

because my mom didn't have anything to help her she had been um sexually abused

35:22

she was raped when she was 13 years old and they put they gave her electric

35:27

shock therapy oh my God right as part of her treatment plan so I mean imagine

35:33

that like you have the shock of that experience and now you're going to put more shock in my system and so fast

35:39

forward you know uh 2024 you know this

35:45

is 58 50 no this would be 61 years later

35:51

uh from her receiving her electric shock therapy to now there's breath work meditation yoga

35:58

uh raiki all these other systems that you can engage in in order to start to

36:05

reduce some of this stress that you have but what you really need in order to get

36:11

into stress resolution are very powerful tools right tools that create

36:17

instantaneous permanent change so after I started learning um and engaging in

36:23

this practice I was at a grocery store uh jimbos and one of the girls that went to the

36:29

same gym that I went to in salana Beach called frogs she was dealing with hip

36:34

pain and I told her her only solution is she's only 34 years old she's like well

36:40

you know I'm supposed to have an operation on Friday and it was Wednesday she's like they're going to give me a

36:46

hip replacement I was like no no I tell you what you can come to my office I'm

36:52

not even going to charge you okay I will work on you and make sure that that pain

36:58

reduces so I called up one of my buddies who I'd been working with and said hey man can you come up here and help me and he's like yeah we worked on her for 4

37:04

hours I saw her years later right at the grocery store again and I said how are

37:09

things going she goes I haven't had any pain in my hip since and so that's when I understood that the changes that I was

37:16

creating based on the forces that I was using was instantaneous and it was permanent because in order to create

37:22

permanent change you have to also change Behavior right so if you in traditional ch Chinese medicine when you look at

37:29

channels each one of those channels has a particular level of Consciousness that's attached to it so when you have

37:35

highly stressed tissue you have a highly stressed aspect of your Consciousness so

37:40

let's say instead of being empowered you're disempowered instead of being open-minded you're closed-minded instead

37:47

of being honest you're dishonest instead of being uh passionately engaged you're

37:53

depressed right so you just go onto the flip side well once I reduced all that

37:59

tension and stress and Distortion out of her spleen Channel which is the spleen is what controls hip health and hip hip

38:06

function she moved from sacrificing herself in this relationship she was

38:11

with this guy to communicating clearly what her desires wants and needs were right so if I'm engaging in powerful

38:18

high functioning Behavior then my body is no longer accumulating the tension

38:24

the stress and the Distortion that I was from my Behavior so the way that I'm thinking the way that I'm breathing and

38:30

the way that I'm behaving is as important as anything else that I'm doing in my life so if we can create

38:37

credible change in the way that you're going about your business in your life

38:43

meaning if we open up your channel for communication and you start communicating to your own benefit then

38:49

there's no need for your spleen to be stress so you're no longer attracted to substances like sugar that are going to

38:56

cause your body to hold on to certain levels of inflamation and then you're not going to you're not going to endure

39:04

the kind of structural Distortion that's going to get created by drying out all of your tissues and so when we change

39:10

the body we change the behavior when we change the behavior we change the course of someone's life so whatever's going on

39:15

in your body is reflected back to you in the way that you function and behave in your life and so once I realize the

39:22

psychological benefits and that we could create instantaneous permanent change I recruited anyone who would listen to be

39:29

able to help them deal with the things that at the time were unsolvable right

39:35

and this is 20 this is 24 24 25 years ago so what is a practical example of a

39:41

tool a tool so that woman so that woman that you helped what was what exactly

39:47

were you doing yeah so exactly what we were doing so in order to open a spleen Channel she was lying on her back right

39:54

and so on I had my friend and hold below her knee and above her knee to the

40:00

inside okay of of her leg and then I pulled her opposite leg her left leg out

40:07

to the side okay so imagine her left leg's out here her right leg is straight

40:12

he's holding here okay I have her squeezing and pulling in okay so now

40:17

she's squeezing slight Bend in her knee so that the tissue is activated the MUSC ofure and she's squeezing in and I'm

40:24

going to do that until that tissue supremely warmed up now we've got

40:30

massive amount of concentric contractional Force right the first rep she pulled in there was hardly any Force

40:36

At All by the time we got to like the sixth or the seventh rep she had full contraction once she has full

40:42

contraction now she's going to takeen a breath I'm going to have her keep squeezing in for about 4 seconds and

40:48

then I'm going to slowly beat her Force as long as she's squeezing in with full

40:54

force and she can feel all the tension that's being removed in the belly of the muscle were good the second she starts

41:02

to slip meaning she no longer feels the sensation 100% in the belly of the

41:08

muscle then I get her to start to pull back in again so now we're using isometric concentric and E Ecentric

41:15

contractions to change bone rotational relationships so once that tissue lengthened enough her thigh her femur

41:23

was free from being stuck to her hip socket because we created space in the

41:29

muscle once you created space in the muscle that created flexibility and more space in and around the joint and then

41:36

she got up and she walked around and she have any pain now I went back and forth for hours right I softened up her tissue

41:44

first right I was walking her pain level when I first got on was a 10 out of 10 I

41:49

got her down to neutral so same exact thing that I was doing before and now she has no discomfort she doesn't have

41:55

any pleasure but she doesn't have any pain H so you have tissue health and you have structural health so once I change

42:01

the tissue Health there's no way for the structure to go back once I Chang the structure but if I open up and change

42:07

her structure but her tissue health is still toxic okay well what's going to happen the unhealthy tissue is going to

42:14

pull the structure right back out of balance so I started putting these the none of this information was in a book

42:20

right I had to start to really go in and start to understand what was really going on and then I basically used

42:27

everyone like a guinea pig right and I was Guinea pigging from 7 a.m. till 8:00

42:32

at night wow like Monday through Sunday because I finally found something I was really passionate about that would allow

42:39

me to use my own Brilliance to be able to resolve and bring solutions for people and then I was I was on fire and

42:46

so my whole life went from me being focused on me to being seen as a really

42:52

amazing athlete to never caring what people thought about me in terms of my

42:57

image to using all of my life force in order to be able to create instantaneous permanent change for people that were

43:03

suffering needlessly there's literally no reason to have pain in your body there's no good reason okay if you have

43:10

blunt force trauma yes but that can be resolved okay but there's no need for

43:15

anyone to be walking around with a stiff back or stiff neck or stiff shoulders or frozen shoulder syndrome or lumbar

43:22

issues there's no need for that and once you understand the mechanics of how to remove uh and reduce your lifetime

43:30

accumulated stress load but to REM but to reduce your tension load and to change the Distortion levels between

43:37

your bones there's literally no need to be walking around in pain and I was someone who my whole body was full of

43:43

pain this is 24 years later I never have any pain in my system and I'm someone

43:48

who pushed I ran my motor hot right what does that mean I slept very little and I

43:54

worked constantly right and I ate here and there and still my body's

44:00

extremely comfortable that's amazing well so you you have a book yeah is it

44:05

is your book called True Body intelligence it's called free for Life free for life so it in the book do you

44:12

guide through these techniques for people I inform and the last third what

44:18

the te techniques are so people can understand the systems right because when I wrote the book I didn't write the

44:25

book for the public I wrote the book for Major League Baseball owners and

44:30

managers NFL uh NHL uh soccer and

44:36

basketball in the NBA I went to this workshop and this guy said to me hey why

44:41

don't you release it to the public too because at the time I wanted to where I'm from Pennsylvania I wanted to work

44:47

with the Philadelphia Eagles right because I'm a Penn State fan I'm a Philadelphia team fan and um I had a

44:54

different agenda for the book so I wrote the book to to inform so these managers

45:00

would be able to read the book and go okay I've never heard of these things I think this guy could help our teams

45:06

perform better got it and then the book got released for the public and so it

45:12

was just information right it wasn't there for me to train their trainers in

45:17

teaching the techniques because with techniques like this you need actual instruction so do you have like an

45:23

online course like how does somebody work with you no how does somebody work with me they find me somehow I don't

45:29

know how they find me typically I just get uh a message from my assistant hey

45:34

you have this onboarding call with this woman suie Tuesday night I'm like okay and then they're like well you know I

45:40

was at a grocery store and and uh I'm I'm from Florida and I ran into this

45:46

woman she had these kids and she started you know talking about you and I got

45:51

your book and read it and I know my daughter's suffering from D would you be able

45:57

and I'm just like okay look this is how it works and boom and then we figure out a way for us to be in each other's

46:05

presence and to start to rewire their nervous system right and once we rewire

46:12

their body the brain and the nervous system I then teach them on the fifth day so there's there's they're never

46:19

relying on me because one of the things that I feel is the most important thing

46:24

is that other things other people people can do good things for you but you have to be involved in some measure right if

46:31

you're not involved you're not taking responsibility and so I teach everyone a 15minute program that they can utilize

46:38

every day they check in with me every day I have people that have checked in with me for nine years every single day

46:44

after they've done their 15minute thing and to this day everything in their life is working perfectly and all the pain

46:50

that they have that they've never had again that's really cool um okay there's

46:55

so much more like we're you're have to come back on because I had other questions but I've run out of time I

47:00

want to be respectful of everybody's time um so what is one thing that you would like the listener to know I think

47:09

the most important thing is for them to find as many people like you as they can to be able to help them and to be

47:16

extremely honest about their discomfort I had discomfort and I wasn't honest I was dishonest if I had let people in

47:23

when I had my first level of pain and discomfort and sought after people I may

47:29

have made my dream come true and get to the Olympic trials and have a shot at making an Olympic team but because I was

47:36

silent and I suffered in silence I never got the help that I needed and there's

47:41

lots of people that are suffering from childhood uh physical abuse childhood emotional abuse childhood sexual abuse

47:49

and or people who had parents who were passive aggressive or people who had parents that had abandoned them in any

47:56

way or or kids that didn't have enough food to eat like whatever your thing was and

48:01

everyone had a thing you know talk to somebody about it like invite somebody into your life like it's one thing to

48:07

sit on the call and to listen to people like you and I and and by the way thank you for for for what you and trip are

48:13

doing in the world um well thank you Christopher But ultimately you know

48:19

people need to let somebody in they need to take a little bit of a risk and say

48:24

hey I've got this thing going on I got like a tooth AE okay and I need some

48:30

help like if you have a neck ache or a back ache or you have like really intense menstrual cramps or your sleep

48:37

is poor you're having these intermittent headaches or these anger outbursts like as soon as you have your first symptom

48:44

you need to go find somebody like ask somebody in your community if they know anyone who will help you because there's

48:50

so many tools out there now you could literally get on YouTube and get a PhD

48:56

and learn how to help yourself right there's a lot of free information out there that wasn't out there when you and

49:03

I were teenagers none of that information was available okay most of it wasn't even created yet and so now

49:09

we're in this really wonderful time in the world so one be super honest with yourself two obviously if you live in

49:16

America you're eat an American diet at some point you need to clean out your liver that is an absolute must okay and

49:23

you know find someone out there find some natural path or someone who can guide you into cleaning up your liver

49:29

and get that functioning really really well and if you're communicating what your own desires once

49:34

and needs are you're in good shape but I think the most important thing of all these things is write down a list of the

49:40

five things you feel guilty about and the five things you're most shameful of and call one of your friends call one of

49:46

your relatives or look if you're uncomfortable with that call call a

49:51

professional and sit down and let someone in on your guilt and your shame and if you can dump your guilt and your

49:58

shame you can start to communicate what your real needs are to your community and you can clean up your liver um and

50:05

you're being super honest inwardly and outwardly you're going to live a good life like your body is going to be able

50:11

to start to sort itself out because once you start suppressing these secrets they

50:17

start creating secretions and creating more dramatic uh situations that cause

50:23

even more dramatic responses and so the way to get out of that is to interfere

50:29

with the pattern and that's to let people know what's going on the inside that you're suffering from and put it on

50:34

the outside because in that position you put yourself in a position of receptivity and when you're in receptivity you can receive love you can

50:42

receive care you can receive guidance you can receive help and without that you're trying to do it all on your own

50:49

and look we have 8 billion people on this planet CU we need everyone to help you in any way that they can and we need

50:54

people like you we need people like chip we need people like me and we're here so utilize us cool do you have a website I

51:03

have a website True Body intelligence.com cool listener I'll have that in the notes this was awesome I

51:09

think I like I could just hang out with you all day but I know you probably got like a Life to Live

51:16

um so I really appreciate you coming on and sharing your wisdom I know I'm gonna

51:22

want to have you back because I can get to half of the things I wanted to ask you about yeah I mean we can I mean I like being

51:29

in both of your presence and I love that download that uh trip gave me um and you

51:35

know when you're with people that are in the same Lane like for me nothing's more

51:40

exciting right like we can start bouncing things off of each other I'm getting great ideas uh I didn't you know

51:47

I didn't get to hear Trip's story I didn't get to hear your story while you're why you're in what you're in you

51:54

know that that stuff feeds me you know I can't imagine anything more important to

51:59

me in my life than doing what I'm doing very cool all right listener I hope you found this educational informational

52:06

somewhat entertaining and until next time thanks for subscribing to your infinite heal I'm Dr trip and I'm lene
