You officially have permission to be lazy! Yes, you read that right. On this episode of IMPACT, we scientifically dismantle the myth that hard work yields the best results and teach you how to optimize your human potential! This week’s guest is the father of biohacking, Dave Asprey. With the help of his revolutionary time-saving approach to health, he has authored 4 New York Times best-selling books and is well on his way to his fifth with his latest book Smarter Not Harder!
If you want to maximize your IMPACT, Asprey’s protocol will eliminate hours of unnecessary work and will actually make you more productive than ever. As an entrepreneur, your time is valuable, and fighting your body's natural propensity for laziness is actually hindering you in the long run.
The harder you push yourself, the deeper your body goes into survival mode rendering your vigorous exercise and perfect diet useless. Your body cannot distinguish exercise from survival stress, so those intense workouts convince your body that your life is at stake. Asprey teaches you how to quickly trick your operating system into fight or flight mode and then efficiently reset back into rest and recovery. This quick transition mimics the body's natural rhythm of short bursts of high stress balanced by long-lasting laziness. You really only need a 5-minute exercise a few times a week to produce the best results possible!
Imagine all that you can achieve with all that extra time available to you! In this episode, Dave Asprey, is true to his word and teaches you how to work Smarter Not Harder!
Listen now and get ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about productivity.

MEMORABLE QUOTES:
“First thing I would've said would be to understand that people actually want to help you and when you let them help you, you are performing an active service. That would've been really, really helpful cuz I was toiling under the mindset that I had to do everything myself because no one would help me or wanted to help me.”
-Dave Asprey
“When you look at the human body, there is probably a separate intelligence running your meat, that is not you and is faster than you!
-Dave Asprey
“There is no one who wants to be healthy as their first thing except people who are incredibly sick like I was when I had chronic fatigue. When you can’t get out of bed because you’re sick, when you think you might die, that’s when you want your health back.”
-Dave Asprey
“When you really learn how to manifest what you’re doing is, you’re interfacing with your operating system and you’re getting in alignment and you’re telling it that it is safe and should expect to see something, and when it expects to see something, it will see it and when it sees it, it’s real.”
-Dave Asprey
“Your immune cells the mast cells, they’re looking for potential threats and when they find one they explode and release all sorts of mitochondrial signaling molecules called inflammatory cytokines, so if you were to just look at mast cells and look at mitochondrial function, you would solve about 90% of what’s going on in medicine.”

The age of transactional care is coming to an end! Artificial Intelligence is disrupting every industry and medicine is no exception. On this episode of IMPACT, host Dr. Meghan Walker tested this theory and asked ChatGPT to create a plan for menopausal women and it formulated a program that could easily replace the first 4 visits with most doctors. What does this mean for care providers? It means that you need to provide more than just the essentials, you need to provide transformational care!
You won’t help people by lowering costs, if you want to truly help your patients you need to innovate what you offer. Creating a signature system in your clinical practice, not only helps your patients but also future proofs your business against AI innovations.
Meghan maps out how to design a transformational care plan using her A.C.T.I.O.N framework, just 6 steps that will take your practice to a whole new level to attract clients and keep them. To provide life changing care, you need to be specific about exactly who you intend to transform and how you’re going to do it. Serving everyone usually serves no one, so commiting to a niche is an important step in crafting your signature system.
By stepping outside the norms of care, you will set yourself apart from practitioners who are strictly transactional. Creating a system aimed at transformation gives patients emotional support, resources and a deeper understanding of what is happening in their own body.
Want to take this A.C.T.I.O.N framework, break it down to the granular level and build out your signature approach to care? Then join Meghan on March 9th at her Signature Care System Implementation Lab. By the end of the day, you'll have gotten actual work done to create a unique care plan that will attract clients, add another barrier between yourself and a technology like ChatGPT, future-proof your business, and move it away from a series of transactions and into a transformational experience.
Listen to this week’s episode and register for The Signature Care System Implementation Lab with Dr. Meghan Walker on March 9th from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m EST at signaturesystem.biz.
Let’s set a new standard for care and take your business to a whole new level!

Signature Care Implementation Lab with Dr. Meghan Walker
March 9th 10 - 4 EST - signaturesystem.biz
MEMORABLE QUOTES
“This is not because I am sitting her with massive amounts of data and evidence that your particular industry, medical practitioners, naturopathic doctors, functional medicine docs, TCM practitioners, all of you are necessarily going to be threatened by this but I can say it is likely to disrupt what you are doing.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“When you are delivering a transformational experience, when you design your own signature care system, you create another barrier between yourself and a technology like ChatGPT.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“When you’re designing out transformation and you are delivering it as the strategist, I want you to think of it as a hat. Any clinician can wear any type of hat. It’s the strategist who earns the most because it’s the strategist who has the most responsibility. It’s the strategist who designs and refines the transformational process.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“For patients, when they can get a more comprehensive, insightful understanding of what’s happening in their body, it significantly elevates compliance.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“I want to examine this topic from a really objective place because I think one of the thinking traps we could move into on this is that, oh, I've got time because I'm in one of these impenetrable vocations that's not necessarily gonna be on the first target hit list for artificial intelligence.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“One of the cool things that we see when we move someone from a transactional system of care to a transformational system of care is we actually see those patients and those practitioners working with one another three times longer. There is a financial benefit to that because you are interacting with that patient three times longer.”

Do you feel disempowered by your assumptions around money? This week on IMPACT, Dr. Meghan Walker is busting the money myths and mindset mistakes that are dictating your relationship with money so you can break free from limiting beliefs and take control of your financial future.
Throughout the episode, Meghan breaks down the four levels of her money mindset framework, so you can assess where you are in your relationship with money. Building your future state begins with being ruthlessly honest and truly acknowledging where you are and where you would like to be. Once you know what level you’re playing at, you can adjust your mindset and take on a new course of action to change the trajectory of your finances.
Your parents' attitude towards finances, your past financial blunders, and your expectation around money heavily influence your beliefs of what is financially possible. This is why Meghan also breaks down the 7 tools you need to shift your relationship with money into a higher vibration to toss aside your limiting beliefs and grab hold of the financial situation you desire.
And what if we treated and committed to our relationship with money the way we do our other relationships? Then what might be possible?
Tune in to this week’s episode to find out!

MEMORABLE QUOTES
“When it comes to achieving a future outcome, losing weight, building wealth; the part of our brain that protects us from putting in too much effort only to be disappointed, it is fully lit up in both of these paths.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“Shift the mindset pieces, so that you are open to making different decisions, and when you make different decisions and align them with different actions, you get a different outcome. That’s just the way building a future state works.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“The more we say “I'm not like them”, without actually understanding what they are like, we encase ourselves in the energy of the work, win windfall vibration, and it is a vibration and it’s a very disempowering vibration frankly, because you have no control of your financial destiny.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“If you don't believe your actions are actually going to warrant any kind of outcome for you, you're not gonna take them in the first place. And so we have to shift that belief system and to shift that belief system, what we really need to do is we have to lift the veil on the story.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“The core thinking trap that defines that “win work windfall” level is that money comes from other sources, money comes from work, money comes because I want it in a lottery or money comes because I inherited it. And if those things don't happen for you, it's like you just can't see that there are any other ways that money may come into your life.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“I can't wait to help you change more lives, have more impact, and put more money in your pocket along the way.”

Get ready for a game changing episode of IMPACT! You’ve certainly never heard an episode like this before.
This is for two reasons.
One, because host Dr. Meghan Walker drops powerful truths about entrepreneurship and reflects on her own experience with burnout at the end of 2022. Meghan loves her work and this feeling of burn out was not a result of work overload. It was actually the result of client relations that had failed to honor their sacred contract. After some self reflection, Meghan realized she was stuck in self created resentment because she failed to set and uphold her own boundaries. She was taking ownership of others' emotional issues which prevented them from following through on their agreed upon financial responsibilities. By allowing others to negate their own commitments, she denied them and herself the opportunity to grow.
A much needed break over Christmas and the New Year resulted in the perfect time to recognize that leading to the next level meant setting clear boundaries and by holding people accountable to their commitments she was elevating how they operate in the world of business.
And two, because Meghan sets the stage for the trajectory of the podcast in 2023. And it’s massive. It’s exciting. And it is definitely going to lead to major IMPACT.
Meghan has committed to focusing on the concept of a "worth ethic" - the activities, commitments, and decisions that elevate our value as leaders and help us avoid burnout. That expands our capacity for contribution, for vision and where we can go next. And so this year, the content of the IMPACT podcast is going to focus exactly on this!
Meghan will pursue ideas that take us to the fringe, explore concepts that might make you feel uncomfortable and discuss topics that in an instant are going to shed from you, the stories and the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back.
Follow along with the IMPACT podcast and you can expect to master your worth ethic and thrive as a leader in 2023!

MEMORABLE QUOTES
“Resentment, for me, was always accompanied by having poor boundaries in a particular area. When I become resentful of someone or a situation it is usually because I was not clear in articulating or because I didn't know what my boundaries were at any given moment.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“I was witnessing, in real time, how I was enabling other people to sabotage their own commitments, with respect to money, and I too was acting out a pattern that I had become familiar with in my own life.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“I was just sort of in denial. I was in denial of acknowledging it. I was in denial of how I was gonna have to address it. And then even as I turned on my mic to record this, I was in denial of having to admit it to my listeners.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“I am an empathetic person and I am an empathetic person with boundaries in progress.And one of the things I realized I was consistently doing is I was taking ownership for what was happening in their emotional state and the way I was taking ownership of it, which is really none of my business to do, and not part of what my sacred contract with these clients is all about. I was letting people off the hook for having to pay and follow up.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“It also enabled me to get really clear on this idea of a sacred contract. This idea that when you engage in business with someone or you make a commitment to someone, that you give them your word. And when you give someone your word more than checking that box in the terms of conditions or any other pieces, this is a reflection of your integrity and your brand.”
