    We swap out one Jon for another with our first ever guest to be interviewed in The Manual - John Bestfather. A paramedic, athlete, filmmaker, and summiteer of Canada’s tallest peak - Mount Logan. We chat about how his documentary “Logan” came to fruition, the “lilly pad” analogy of taking a leap for change, motivation, and perspective on how to go for your goals without fear. This page will inspire you to move (or climb) mountains yourself.

  • Page 18: The Wim Hof Method
    Feb 27 2024
    If there was ever a real life cheat code similar to the star for Mario, The Wim Hof Method is it. In this episode we discuss “The Ice Man” and his breathing/cold exposure method. The breath is the door, and we can actively and consciously take control of our entire system through this door. Wim has proven over and over again that he can take control of his autonomic nervous system, something that was thought to be impossible. And not only that, he has shown others how to do the same and has the scientific studies to prove it. As we say in this episode, along with the 6 Human Needs, this information may be the most important and valuable tool we’ve come across. “Breathe Motherfucker” - Wim Hof Andrew Huberman explanation of the method: https://youtu.be/hBNH_L4fMIg?si=JEWQejHcMb_rExXc Wim Hof breathing technique video: https://youtu.be/tybOi4hjZFQ?si=gsbDjuttfp4P5hxa www.torontoperformancecoaching.com Instagram:@instructionmanualpodcast

    Jan 19 2024
    We share some exciting news and update you on why Jenna’s body is changing… For many women the first time through pregnancy can be the first instance where they feel completely out of control of their body. This feeling of uncertainty in our body is one that we will all face one day, whether it’s through pregnancy, injury, or illness. In this episode we hope to help normalize talking about our bodies changing through different stages of life and speak to how we’ve personally dealt with such changes in our own. We’ve also added in some late 90s TV references for good measure.
