Stop apologizing for putting your health first when you’re with family or on vacation.

Dr. Andrew Fix gets real about the quiet pressure so many of us feel to explain or soften our choices when we’re around others, especially when those choices support our health. Why do we feel the need to say sorry for skipping a drink or going out for a run before dinner? Why does taking care of ourselves sometimes feel like a disruption instead of something worth protecting?

In this episode, Dr. Fix shares a personal moment that sparked a bigger reflection on what it means to show up for your well-being without guilt. Whether you’re traveling, hosting guests, or navigating full family days, he offers a grounded perspective on how to make space for your own needs without disconnecting from the people around you.

Most people know how to train their bodies, but what about training the brain?

Dr. Andrew Fix welcomes back Sarah Murphy, the founder of OMNI Neuro, for a conversation about neurofeedback, what it is, how it works, and why it matters. After navigating her own recovery from a head injury, Sarah turned that experience into a practice that helps others build resilience and stronger cognitive function. So what happens when we treat the brain like a muscle that can be strengthened and refined?

They explore how brain mapping and qEEG assessments lay the groundwork for personalized training plans that support everything from better sleep and stress regulation to sharper focus and long-term performance. Can mental flexibility be learned? How does the brain-body connection affect how we show up at work, at home, or in sport? Whether you’re a high performer or someone just trying to feel more in control of your day, this episode invites you to rethink what your brain is truly capable of.

Quotes

• “If you’re doing a cold tub and this and that, and this and that, and you’re noticing that you’re still waking up and wondering what else you can do to improve your mental state, then neurofeedback is going to be something you’re going to want to look at.” (12:13 | Sarah Murphy)
• “Neurofeedback will allow your brain to connect to your body again, to help you understand what’s best for you in that moment, right then, right there without the rumination, without the mental chatter, without the overthinking.” (12:58 | Sarah Murphy)
• “Neurofeedback allows your brain to have more flexibility to be vulnerable with the person across the dinner table, the person that matters the most.” (13:25 | Sarah Murphy)
• “If you put your brain first, the rest is going to follow suit.” (30:58 | Sarah Murphy)

Have you ever found yourself staring into the fridge after a long day, unsure of what to eat and too tired to figure it out? Dr. Andrew Fix shares why food prepping has become one of the most reliable ways he supports his health during the week and how it might do the same for you.

Dr. Fix walks through the benefits in a way that feels both practical and surprisingly personal, showing how prepping a few simple meals ahead of time can help you feel more focused, less stressed, and better equipped to stay consistent with your goals. Could having your meals ready be less about discipline and more about creating space for better choices and more energy throughout the day? What would change if you treated the way you fuel your body with the same intention you bring to the rest of your day?

Whether you’re already in a good rhythm or looking for a way to reset, this episode offers a thoughtful take on how food prep can support a healthier, more grounded routine.

Quotes

• “You’re probably not prepping chocolate cake, right? You’re probably not prepping Skittles, you’re probably not prepping a McDonald’s hamburger, right? You’re putting things that are healthy in the container... you’re gonna eat it and you’re gonna feel great.” (06:18 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “Eating should be enjoyable. Eating should be something that you look forward to... just sitting there eating, reflecting on your day.” (06:57 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “If you have health and fitness goals and you’re not even considering the option of food prepping, I would encourage you to do so.” (07:48 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “Food is fuel… And if you fuel your body with nutritious stuff, your body’s going to give you back the energy and the ability to do the things that you want to do.” (10:14 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “Your body is your vehicle. We need to fuel it with the highest possible quality of fuel that we can if we expect to get high performance out of it.” (10:25 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
