Seriously, I launched the site at 5am Sunday morning, then hopped in my Jeep to drive to Las Vegas for a mastermind with brainpower king Jim Kwik, health renegade Kevin Gianni, author Jonathan Fields, songwriter Tom Bahler, and more in Tony Hsieh's (Zappos) living room. What a surreal day! At one point, Jim commented on how calm I was for a launch day. BIG PROPS to my summit team for crossing every t and dotting every single i. Love you guys! From the looks of it, our Day 1 attendees thoroughly enjoyed presentations by Dr. Sara, Alisa Vitti, Adam Gilad, and Brett Klika. TODAY we’ve got 4 more amazing presentations about boosting your sexual energy, natural birth control alternatives, super foods for super sex, and how to more effectively communicate in your relationship. But first, I have a couple of quick announcements -- PLEASE READ THESE.]]> http://undergroundwellness.com/paul-chek-the-pill-and-prizes-sexyback-summit-day-2/feed/ 0 http://undergroundwellness.com/the-podcast-about-when-aunt-flo-stops-coming/ http://undergroundwellness.com/the-podcast-about-when-aunt-flo-stops-coming/#comments Thu, 16 May 2013 18:04:48 +0000 UW Sean http://undergroundwellness.com/?p=8080 by Sean Croxton I get it now. I’ll be honest, for much of my adult life I’ve thought that women were just plain crazy. They’re up...then they’re down. They’re hot...then they’re cold. They’re focused...then they’re all over the friggin’ place! No, I’m not saying that all women have bipolar tendencies. Not even. What I am saying is that, for a man, understanding how the hormonal fluctuations of a woman’s cycle can influence her moods and cravings, as well as her physical, sexual, and emotional needs, can really cause a shift in a guy’s perspective. I can see clearly now. For example, did you know that there are two specific times of the month when a man is most likely to have the green light for more sex with his woman? No foreplay needed. Just go for it! (Definitely not universally applicable, though.) Or, did you know that there is a particular time of the month when most women feel more introspective and just need some alone time? No, she’s not mad at you! She just wants to be alone with her thoughts.]]> http://undergroundwellness.com/the-podcast-about-when-aunt-flo-stops-coming/feed/ 0 http://undergroundwellness.com/how-to-use-your-mouth-for-a-more-passionate-sex-life/ http://undergroundwellness.com/how-to-use-your-mouth-for-a-more-passionate-sex-life/#comments Wed, 15 May 2013 16:32:05 +0000 UW Sean http://undergroundwellness.com/?p=8067 by Sean Croxton I’ve made mistakes. I’ve said things I shouldn’t have said. I’ve gotten defensive when I should have been more understanding. I’ve been critical when all she wanted was compassion. I’m sure I’m not the only one. It would be an understatement to say that communication has not been my strong suit in relationships past. As open and personable as I may appear on the internet, I haven’t always been the easiest person to get along with in real life, especially in intimate relationships. Raised in part by a show-no-emotion Korean War tank commander father and growing up around the fairly affection-less (read: macho) Mexican side of my family, effectively communicating my innermost feelings was a skill I never acquired. As you could probably imagine, my deficiencies in communication, affection, and openness beset each and every one of my intimate relationships, from high school to...well, last year. At some point it finally dawned on me that the one common denominator in every nasty breakup was me. Ouch.]]> http://undergroundwellness.com/how-to-use-your-mouth-for-a-more-passionate-sex-life/feed/ 1 http://undergroundwellness.com/the-two-tiny-glands-that-can-ruin-your-sex-life-big-time/ http://undergroundwellness.com/the-two-tiny-glands-that-can-ruin-your-sex-life-big-time/#comments Tue, 14 May 2013 19:04:46 +0000 UW Sean http://undergroundwellness.com/?p=8059 by Sean Croxton Things were not good. Around this time last year my life was in utter chaos. I was in one of those on-again, off-again relationships. (More on this tomorrow.) The Real Food Summit launch was coming up, and one of my team members was driving me up the friggin' wall. The pressure to deliver the goods on what I promised would be the ultimate online health event (which it was) was wearing me down day by day. It’s no wonder why my immune system crashed the day the summit was over... My hormonal system had been taking a beating. And I was paying for it. But my immune system wasn’t the only thing that took a hit. All of the stress I was under also made me...(how do I say this?)...well, a lot less frisky. I’m sure you know the feeling -- those days, weeks, or even months when your life throws you nothing but curveballs, and sex is the last thing on your mind. There’s a perfectly good reason why we sometimes (or maybe always) feel this way, and it has a lot to do with these two itty-bitty glands that sit on top of your kidneys -- the adrenal glands. In a nutshell, your adrenals play a major role in the production of stress hormones (i.e. cortisol) and sex hormones (i.e. testosterone). When stress gets high, they start cranking out cortisol...BUT at the expense of your sex hormones. ]]> http://undergroundwellness.com/the-two-tiny-glands-that-can-ruin-your-sex-life-big-time/feed/ 0 http://undergroundwellness.com/top-5-ways-to-supercharge-your-sex-drive-naturally/ http://undergroundwellness.com/top-5-ways-to-supercharge-your-sex-drive-naturally/#comments Fri, 10 May 2013 17:00:41 +0000 UW Sean http://undergroundwellness.com/?p=8046 by Sean Croxton Today, my friends, we’re bringing sexy back. For the past 5 years, we’ve explored natural solutions for more conditions than I can count -- digestive problems, insomnia, foggy brain, cancer, you name it. But only recently did it dawn on me just how many people are dealing with sex-related health challenges. For women -- issues like PMS, frequent UTIs, yeast infections, an inability to reach climax, or even a non-existent libido that’s probably causing some relationship problems. For men -- low testosterone, high estrogen, E.D., a dwindling sex drive, or simply not feeling like the man you once were. Most of us don’t know who to turn to for help. I mean, the medical docs (most of them, at least) seem pretty clueless. All they want to do is throw pills at us. But are there any other options out there? You bet there are! And that’s why my team and I spent the past 3 months putting together the most comprehensive free online summit that will show you EXACTLY how to bring your sexy back...naturally! It’s called The SexyBack Summit, and the lineup is loaded with big names like Paul Chek, Dr. Sara Gottfried, Chris Kresser, Cynthia Pasquella, Reed Davis, Dr. Jade Teta, and more. The summit doors don’t officially open until Sunday, May 19th... But in the meantime we pre-party!]]> http://undergroundwellness.com/top-5-ways-to-supercharge-your-sex-drive-naturally/feed/ 1 http://undergroundwellness.com/the-podcast-about-gluten-free-lie-218/ http://undergroundwellness.com/the-podcast-about-gluten-free-lie-218/#comments Thu, 09 May 2013 00:52:43 +0000 UW Sean http://undergroundwellness.com/?p=8038 by Allyson the Assistant As many of you know, Sean has been feeling a bit under the weather this week so I’m stepping in to share with you guys some awesome info from Dr. Peter Osborne’s show on UW Radio last week, The Gluten Free Lie. May 18th will mark my 3-year anniversary working for Sean and let me tell you, since then, I’ve learned a TON about the evils of gluten. But the coolest thing about working for Sean is that I’m always learning more. I know consuming gluten is linked to developing autoimmune disease, but listening to Dr. Osborne’s podcast really helped shed some light on the science behind it. Simply put, ignoring a gluten sensitivity leads to leaky gut. And leaky gut leads to autoimmune disease. How can this happen? The cells in the gut that line the intestine are tightly bound together to keep bacteria and toxins from the food we eat inside the GI tract, preventing them from getting into the bloodstream. Gluten can cause the gut cells to open up and drift apart, allowing food proteins to slip between the cells. Since 80% of our immune systems resides in the lymphatic system behind the gut wall, the escaped food proteins start to cause an immune reaction. Here’s the kicker - molecular mimicry. ]]> http://undergroundwellness.com/the-podcast-about-gluten-free-lie-218/feed/ 0 http://undergroundwellness.com/3-ways-exercise-can-ruin-your-sex-life/ http://undergroundwellness.com/3-ways-exercise-can-ruin-your-sex-life/#comments Thu, 02 May 2013 16:32:11 +0000 UW Sean http://undergroundwellness.com/?p=7991 by Sean Croxton Extreme exercise is all the rage these days.... The pedal-till-you-drop spin classes. The DVD set that left a sweat stain in your living room carpet. The poorly-designed group workout classes that seem to serve no real purpose other than crushing you. Don't get me wrong, I’m not saying that these kinds of programs are all “bad”. In fact, I’m a fan of just about anything that gets people off their butts. Hey, if your Insanity DVDs are the only thing that get you moving, have at it. Do what works. What concerns me is when exercise programs lead to diminishing returns, especially when they put a damper on your sex life. I mean, if you work out to look sexy but your workouts kill your sex drive, we’ve got a problem. So on this week’s episode of The Underground Wellness Show, Strength Coach Brett Klika and I discuss the 3 Ways Exercise Can Ruin Your Sex Life. Here they are... 1. A reduction in the hormones that make you want to have sex. 2. An increase in the hormones that make you not want to have sex. 3. An increase in body image issues, leading to diminished confidence in physical appearance. Check out the video below to get the whole scoop. You'll also learn how you can schedule your workouts to allow for proper rest, better recovery, and more sex! Visit Brett’s blog at www.brettklika.com. Mark your calendars for his upcoming SexyBack Summit presentation on Sunday, May 19th. And don’t forget to pick up your FREE One-Week Trial of The Underground Workout Manual! Leave a comment. Let us know if you’ve ever gone overboard with your workout routine. How did you feel? What did you do about it? See you next week!
