The Lucas Rockwood Show

Hyperbaric chambers use pressure, and in some cases concentrated oxygen, to treat a wide variety of injuries and ailments. You’ve no doubt heard of high-level athletes using these treatments to speed up recovery, but you might not realize hyperbaric therapy is approved for 14+ medical conditions. 

On this week’s podcast, we’ll explore the safe and simple use of pressurized therapy for reduced inflammation, oxygenation of plasma, fighting off infections, and more. 

Listen and learn: 

  • How pressure increases oxygen-rich plasma for health and healing
  • How pressure vasoconstricts and reduce inflammation
  • Angiogenesis effects (new blood vessel formation)
  • Appropriate use and pressure levels based on treatments
  • Risks, rewards, and unknowns in regards to long-term use

Food is so much more than energy. It’s culture, tradition, family, comfort, indulgence, guilt, and pleasure all in one. To add to the complexity, certain foods are even addicting. Today, food abundance is the norm and food costs have dropped lower than any time (relatively speaking) in recorded history. With that in mind, is it any wonder we’re struggling with weight gain, cravings and food addiction? My guest on this week’s podcast is a recovered expert in the psychology of eating. 

Learn

  • How food can be harder to “quit” than crack cocaine
  • Why you must have a system to succeed long term
  • How addiction manifests differently for different people 
  • How to navigate the forever-conflicted information on diets

We speak an estimated 50,000 words to ourselves, in our head, every single day. That’s the same amount of information as you’d find in most paperback books. We have positive, negative, and instructive self talk; but for many of us, the negative takes center stage. It might be anxiety over an uncertain future or ruminations about regrets and pains from the past. Either way, when the voice in your head dominates, it’s very hard to get anything done, much less enjoy the process. My guest on this week’s show is a psychologist whose work is focused on understanding and helping us to harness what he calls, chatter.

Learn 

  • How to distance yourself from your inner dialogue  
  • How beauty, awe and experiences can get us out of our head
  • The value of ritual 
  • Why venting with others doesn’t always help
