MIND OPTIMIZATION THE ART OF SELF-DISCIPLINE Sponsored by the "Third Act " Optimizers In the last Mind Optimization Course, I wrote about how, in the 1980s, I was a motivational speaker but not a very good one. I explained that the best part of my three-year motivational speaker tour was that I got to hang out with the best in the motivational business, New York Times bestsellers, to this day. I listened and learned and discovered that they were all teaching the same thing. The degree of our attendees' success was directly associated with their self-discipline. EULOGY HAVES I have noticed that what makes some of my patients/clients more self-disciplined and, therefore, more successful is that they have taken the time to know what will make them feel satisfied with their lives while they lay on their deathbeds. I call these goals Eulogy Haves. I have also discovered they needed a Eulogy Have for each of the Four Strands of Life.
These Four Eulogy Haves are your purposes in life. In the last step, I wrote about knowing your purpose (your why); your four eulogy haves are your four whys of life. "If you don't know where you're going, you'll have difficulty getting there. To be disciplined, it's essential to be clear on where you want to be at the end of life—whether in health, relationships, business, or mentoring. Answer these questions: When it comes to my Me Strand, what will make me satisfied on my deathbed when it comes to my health?
Regarding my Us Strand, what will satisfy me on my deathbed regarding my closest relationships?
Regarding my Them Strand, what will satisfy me on my deathbed regarding my career?
Regarding my Him Strand, what will satisfy me on my deathbed regarding God?
"If you want to succeed at anything, know your Four Eulogy Haves." If you want me to coach you on optimizing your hormones, weight, health, and mind, I can do all four simultaneously; all you have to do is ask. Oh, and it's FREE! Your assignment is to be self-disciplined:
Next week, I will write about the next step to be even more self-disciplined. 🚀 Doc Mac |
I have practiced hormone, weight, health, and mind optimization for over forty-five years. I retired 9 years ago; at least, that is what I thought. When I retired, my wife and I owned and operated seven medical clinics specializing in hormone and weight optimization. As we enter our pauses (menopause and andropause), our hormones become disrupted, causing us to gain weight, suffer from the inability to lose the extra weight, sleeping disorders, hormonally induced anxiety and depression, loss of interest in being intimate, and lose our motivation to be social. Our internal chemistry, our hormones, governs how we feel, look, live, and think.

THE PAUSE DOC MAC'S GUT PROTOCOL Plant Your Inner Garden Probiotics and the Menopausal Microbiome “Thank you, Doc, for the information you have provided thus far. Now, if I am correct, the crux of your gut protocol’s first course is that we are essentially tubes filled with a variety of microbes that help us live a long, healthy life. In the second course, you taught us how to feed our beneficial microbes with plant fibers called prebiotics. Can you explain the difference between prebiotics...
THE PAUSE DOC MAC'S GUT PROTOCOL PREBIOTICS Feed Your Inner Garden How Prebiotics Heal Your Gut and Balance Your Body “Doc, I understand that we are nothing more than biological tubes with trillions of microbes living on us and in us. I understand that these microbes influence our hormones, metabolism, immunity, and even our moods. That’s pretty cool! I never knew that! However, what can I do to have these microbes improve my hormones and maintain my new ideal weight?” As I have repeatedly...
THE PAUSE DOC MAC'S GUT PROTOCOL The Culvert “Doc, you keep writing about our guts and microbiomes being crucial for thyroid optimization. Now that we are optimizing our thyroids, is it time to also optimize our guts?

I recall when I was a preteen and my friends and I...
