Teaching
Hi all, I'm curious how other people who have finished the program are utilizing their new skills in a manner in which they get paid. Right now I'm teaching an 8 week homeschool co-op class for teens. It is free, but it's helping me put the material together in a cohesive manner to teach. In what other ways are you guys teaching this, that you're getting paid for?

I’m curious on how you are doing it, as a homeschool setting will be my first time teaching as well.

@Relyssa Weeda Maybe we can hop on a zoom call and you can show me the Canva slides and handouts.
Remember to dress to train tomorrow!🏋🏽‍♀️
Team, Hope everyone is having a GREAT week! And that you're enjoying the module. I can't overstate the power of holding simple group workouts that get people moving together. Being barefoot, focusing on our breath, and learning to feel the power of our body is the mirror opposite of doing bicep curls alone in front of a mirror...the magic of the program is that we're teaching students and families about their physiology through experience. Tomorrow we'll have an opportunity for me to coach you through a Physiology First group training session. Just come to whichever 3pm slot works best for you (EST or UK) and be ready to sweat, breathe, learn, and build your coaching skills together💪🔥 Appreciate you all for being part of the team and looking forward to seeing you tomorrow for our Deep Dive!

I, sadly, won’t make it tomorrow. I’ve will watch and participate with the recording. Sorry, I can’t move things around.
PDF?
Hi team, I'm going through the content from Module 1 and was wondering if there was any way we can get PDFs of the jpg notes @David Bidler ? I'm old school and like to have printed copies :) Thanks!

Ditto! For all the modules, to be honest. QR codes would be easy to generate for the links to the videos.
Exercise and Reflections
Here are my take aways from this week: If anyone has any thoughts for or against any of this i would love to hear it. I hope everyone is having an absolutely fantastic week so far. Exercises 2 - Explore the various sleep optimization technologies and trackers available. Ask yourself which, if any, you are interested in, and what it is that you like about them. After exploring the various technologies through the module and having had a whoop on a 2 month trial period. I have seen and can see why people want the data these devices can collect but I can also see the detriment they can cause through people just seeing the data but never doing anything about it but also making themselves sick or feel more tired because a device has told them that they are I know for myself it made me check things more and be thinking oh I need to do this or I need to implement that practice I was more on edge whilst using it as there was so much data you could get lost in it. I remember multiple times when wearing the whoop strap it told me I should be recovering due to “bad” sleep after having a new baby but I had heaps of energy and was ready to play sport that day and did so at a high energy level. I think these technologies can take people away from listening to their body and doing what feels right we have got so caught up in a world of technology and pharmaceuticals we have gone away from listening to what our bodies are telling us everyday your body gives you signs and signals as to what it needs from you or if you can perform certain things you want to you just have to listen to it properly and try to be more in tune with the body than relying on technologies that are also using electronics, Bluetooth signals and Wi-Fi signals to collect and lodge data so your body your physiology feels all of that. When I was wearing the whoop I did not like that I had to charge it on me and keeping it on 24/7 for optimal data collection and while doing that I felt out of touch with listening to my own cues. The device also left a mark (either from charging or rubbing none the less it was a mark that shouldn't be there…) on one of my tattoos that I have on the arm I would wear it on.

On the topic of Exercise 2 I think you have a good point but also missing a lot when it comes to wearable tech. A two month trial on almost any wearable is barely enough to properly calibrate, it took a closer to 3 on my whoop. I’ve also logged a green recovery after bad sleep before because the whoop measures things I wouldn’t measure every morning and sleep performance is only 20-25% of the algorithm. That is beside the point I really want to make. Although this is a overlooked feature in whoop, the Journal feature is what makes Whoop the best wearable. Oura Ring, Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit and Helio strap all lack the journal feature. The journal will let you build the “Sleep Tracker” David made into the app and find out what affects you the most. I discovered that on days I have higher strain and earlier then normal mornings, that coffee in the middle of the day has a positive impact on my next day recovery while still giving the necessary caffeine for the long day. Here is the thing about wearables, science, or any other form of data production, you have to ask why did you get those results, what factor could change the results and what do good results look like. Example, if a thermometer says the outside temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit, what does it mean? You don’t know if that is cold or hot but just looking at it, you need to know the average temperature for that season, the altitude, the humidity, wind speed, what type of cloths you are wearing, how much body fat do you have and what health factors can effect your sense of temperature. 50 degrees in the Bahamas is frigid, while 50 degrees in the arctic is a hot sunny day. I do believe that the tech can take away from people listening to their body, but surprisingly most people don’t listen to their body anyway. I have 2 adults in their 70s who have talked to me about their Gamins data(which they bought to track sleep) and when I start asking questions about how they actually feel they had no idea what their body was saying. One of them thought that they had a sleep problem, they logged amazing sleep and Garmin said it was good recovery. They said that the Garmin lied t was stated they felt like they had no energy since seeing the Garmin results, which they checked a few hours after waking up. I started asking more questions like the “Sleep Tracker” turns out they weren’t managing their diabetes right with an 19 hour fast and caused low energy. Being able to have a measurement of your respiratory rate, blood oxygen, RHR, HRV and Skin temperature is hugely useful if you properly apply the information, and part of applying the information is asking your body how it feels.
My Why
I spent some time typing paragraphs to explain my why, but those ended down rabbit holes or missed key details that were vital but too much to add. Here is my why in a single sentence. I grew up learning to treat symptoms vs causes/self regulation, and I want to teach my daughters and other youths how to listen to the body and regulate it. Who am I? I’m a husband and father of 2 beautiful daughters, we are currently living in the Bahamas. I work as a helicopter technician and have a passion for helping people in anyway I can.
