#155: Dr. Carlos Yu - Master Your Mind, Master Your Life  

On this episode Gary chats with good friend and personal physician, Dr. Carlos Yu. Gary and Dr. Yu both got very vulnerable, opening up to each other, and while this conversation covered many topics, it transcended the traditional doctor/patient interaction. Gary had a few 'aha' moments and some epiphanies and hopes to help others with this new information. Dr. Yu just got back from a lengthy hiatus, and we learn why and what he learned during it, including the Wim Hof cold water therapy. He specializes in Auricular acupuncture and is looking for participants to help in a study, please contact Gary to be part of it. Take notes and listen twice to this one!

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

• Why Dr. Yu took an extended hiatus, and what he learned from it
• The good and the bad of taking an extended hiatus, and how he overcame the bad
• Just why he plunged repeatedly into Lake Ontario (cold water Wim Hof Method therapy), to help focus on the moment
• What does being PRESENT really mean, and WHY it's so important to make the most of each moment
• How good mental health was compromised during the pandemic, and depression and anxiety skyrocketed 
• Is the mind part of the immune system and the role of mindset
