Show Notes
I welcome Ted Ryce to the podcast today! Ted is a high-performance coach who has worked with celebrities like Sir Richard Branson, Robert Downey Jr., Ricky Martin, and a dozen CEOs of multimillion-dollar companies. We talk in this interview about various topics such as what happens when we start to help clients, what Ted does specifically regarding training and dieting, and even how death has impacted his life. Ted also touches upon his nomadic lifestyle and why, even though he loves the United States, he does not plan on returning to the States any time soon. He discusses how he had at one point wanted to be a neuroscientist and how that has connected to what he does now, what a protein-sparing modified fast is, why intermittent fasting doesn't always work, how chronic stress negatively affects our health, and more. As is tradition on the podcast, Ted also answers some rapid-fire questions such as what his favorite exercise is, what his current fitness goals are, what losing people to death has taught him about life, what he hopes his legacy will be, and more. This interview was really enjoyable for me especially since Ted and I sort of work with the same target clientele, and I really appreciate his being so transparent and vulnerable. If you enjoy this episode, I would really appreciate it if you would subscribe to the podcast so that you never miss an episode, and I would also be grateful if you were to leave a five-star review wherever you listen!

Noah even offers his perspective on the impact he's making on millions and his intentional efforts to counterbalance self-criticism with self-kindness.

What is up, my friends? Today, I am discussing a common struggle many of us face: sleepless nights. I recently helped a client transform his life by revolutionizing his sleep routine, and the changes were nothing short of astounding. We explored a simple yet powerful approach I call the 3-to-1 method for better sleep. This method focuses on creating effective systems rather than fixating on outcomes, ensuring sustainable results. My client, a chronic night owl, used to hit his pillow at around 2 a.m. only to be rudely awakened at 6 a.m. due to his responsibilities, but with a combination of small tweaks, we managed to shift his schedule. By stopping food intake three hours before bedtime, avoiding liquids two hours prior, and donning blue light blockers an hour before, he found himself peacefully asleep by 10 p.m., waking up refreshed at 6 a.m. These changes weren't just about adding hours to his slumber; they led to an incredible surge in his energy levels, transforming his daily life. I hope that you will join me today as I unpack this game-changing 3-to-1 method. It's not just about getting more sleep; it's about creating a sustainable system that can revolutionize your energy, focus, and overall well-being! With three simple steps, better sleep awaits you!
