Stress causes 90% of the health issues that are killing us today. Every thought or emotion we have releases chemicals into the environment in which our cells grow. This causes inflammation, disease, and bad habits that are damaging for us mentally and physically. In this 100th episode of Thursday Throwdown, Dr. Ryan Wohlfert talks about how internalizing feelings and emotions leads to a build up of stress, and how we as men and fathers can boost our health and achieve sustainable success by surrounding ourselves with likeminded men and sharing our challenges with them.

I used to focus on results as a dad. I would ask my kids, "Did you win? Did you score? Did you get an A?" But what I've learned from many of my podcast guests is that while results are important, they're not as important as developing a growth mindset. Today my amazing older son Ethan is in the studio with me to show how we go over his latest challenges in school and sports in a way that praises effort and encourages a growth mindset.

This show is about something we all need to hear. We always like everyone to think our life is perfect, but no man has got it totally all together. There are always parts of life where we are thriving and other areas where we are just surviving. At times in our lives, we need help. At other times, we're in a position to give. This show is all about the power of community and brotherhood. It's something a lot of us don't have in the real world.When we have a tribe, no matter how crappy the outside world is, we can thrive.
