Health Coach: "People Need to Be in Enough Pain in Order to Make a Change" | Ben Kowal

A lot of people only look at their health once something goes wrong. Ben Kowal says being out of pain is not the same as being healthy. Ben Kowal is a health and human performance coach and the founder of Invictus Health Hub, which he started in 2018. He lost all four of his grandparents to cancer, the first when he was seven, and says the hopelessness and acceptance language he heard around his grandfather's bed set him on the path to everything he has built since. Sam has done Ben's detox program himself and says it changed his life. In this conversation Ben explains how he thinks about waste and energy in the body, what true health actually means, and the health bar he uses to map the way from dysfunction to functional health and freedom. 👉 Join the FREE LIVE presentation and Q&A with Ben & Sam: https://www.theruralbridge.com/podcast 0:00 Intro 3:01 Why Ben Built Invictus 19:32 The Health Bar Explained 21:56 Why Your Body Doesn't "Get Used to It" 26:38 The Stress You Can't Feel 31:17 What Happens When You Ignore the Signals 36:45 Unconventional Beliefs About Food and Health 59:29 The Invictus Framework 1:06:48 Why People Slip Back After Getting Healthy 1:11:52 The Six Disciplines Behind Invictus 1:18:18 The Mentors Who Shaped Ben 1:24:58 Quitting Drinking 1:35:34 Questions for the Rural Community 1:37:47 Discipline Without Obsession 1:47:01 Raising Capable Kids 1:53:20 What It Means to Be a Good Father Today 2:01:10 Nutrition Without Overthinking 2:03:06 When Your Partner Outgrows You 2:12:11 Don't Settle Want to get in touch with the Invictus team? 📧 Email: support@invictushealthhub.com 🌐 Website: https://invictushealthhub.com/ Follow Ben and Invictus: Follow Ben on Instagram:   / benjamin_kowal   Follow Invictus Elite on Instagram:   / invictus_elite__   Follow Invictus Health Hub on Facebook:   / invictushealthhub   Follow The Rural Bridge: Website: https://www.theruralbridge.com/ Follow on Instagram:   / rural__bridge   Follow on Facebook:   / ruralbridgepodcast   Follow on LinkedIn:   / 98460865   Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0K7M8Tz...
