13. Edward Bryan - Complacency is the Devil

•

“Even when you’re firing on all cylinders there’s always something falling behind that you can improve on”

 

Edward Bryan is my incredible personal trainer who I work with in Houston, Texas.

 

But rewind to his youth, and you’d never imagine health and fitness would be his path. At the age of 17, Edward weighed 380lbs. He was also diagnosed with hypertension and atrial fibrillation - an incredibly rare condition for a man of his age.

 

So he took the meds he was prescribed and kept partying and ignoring his health.

 

Until he hit 22.

 

It started out as a day just like any other, but ended with a 19 hour stint in the emergency room. Edward was used to his heart playing up, but this episode was different. The medics couldn’t reset its rhythm and he was threatened with heart surgery.

 

After being prescribed two additional meds with terrifying side-effects, Edward realized this was the point his life had to change. And from that moment forward, Edward has taken total responsibility for his health - with incredible results.

 

Despite the odds, he lost his weight, became a highly sought after personal trainer, and dropped all medication bar a beta blocker.

 

“I’m always trying to break myself every single day to humble me… it helps me keep rolling.” 

 

Edward is an inspiring person to train with, but it’s not just his PT skills that motivate me.

 

What I love most about Edward is that he hacked his way from conventional thought and experimented until he found a way that worked for him.

 

From figuring out what triggered his heart episodes to testing diets to understand what would help him thrive, Edward is constantly looking to improve.

 

He’s proof that even when the medical profession say life is going to be a particular way, you DON’T have to accept their diagnosis.

 

Instead, with the right commitment, discipline, and gratitude, you can make the most of the hand you’ve been dealt to live an incredible life.

 

Check out Edward’s story and see for yourself.

 

“I was comfortable being medicated and I was comfortable with my diseases. I realized if I got that far back on my own, I can claw my way forward on my own.”

 

Some questions I ask:

 

  • What kind of mindset did it take for you to start ‘testing’ on yourself? (11:26)
  • It’s so easy to blame, but hard to take ownership. Once you decided to take responsibility for your life, how did your mindset and other things change? (14:04)
  • What tips can you share with people who feel comfortable with their life and want to take action to move forward before they hit rock bottom? (17:45)
  • Walk me through your daily routine. How do you squeeze in all the activities that help you make the most of life? (21:44)
  • How does gratitude play a role in your daily life? (25:49)
  • Can you share some of the resources that you found helpful when you were getting healthy? (33:30)
  • In the midst of everything that’s happened, how do you keep the train moving? (37:18)

 

In this episode, you will hear about:

 

  • The trigger that set Edward’s life on a whole new path. (1:33)
  • The discovery that changed Edward’s diet and how it helped him lose 100lbs. (8:30)
  • The little talked about problem with high grain, carbohydrate diets. (10:42)
  • The mindset Edward’s mum installed that paved the way for him to heal himself. (11:38)
  • Why medication represented complacency and only led to Edward digging himself a deeper hole. (14:28)
  • Why waking up seriously early helps him stay humble and appreciative. (21:58)
  • How coffee features in Edward’s day. (24:07)
  • The insight that helped Edward get off all his meds but one. (26:51)
  • Why a job at the ‘Y’ was the stepping stone into a personal training career. (29:58)
  • How life coaching changed his life. (33:56)
  • The inspiration behind Edward’s decision to become a Primal Health Coach. (35:36)
  • Why ‘cheat days’ are unavoidable and necessary. (38:12)

  • 116. 116. Dr. Zach Bush: The Courage to Feel – How Embracing Pain Becomes the Doorway to Infinite Freedom (Repost)

    01:07:21||Season 2, Ep. 116
    What if the thing you've been running from your entire life is the exact doorway to your freedom?Dr. Zach Bush is a triple board-certified physician who spent 17 years in academic medicine—running ICUs, bone marrow transplant units, and managing end-stage disease—before discovering that the root of nearly all illness traces back to one thing: stuck emotions. His work now bridges ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science, revealing how we've turned natural feelings into toxic emotional constructs that can't metabolize through our systems.In this episode, you'll discover:→ The profound difference between feelings and emotions—and why one heals while the other gets stuck→ Why emotions are the "high fructose corn syrup" of feelings and what that means for your body→ What unconditional love actually feels like (hint: it's not the warm fuzzy sensation you think)→ How the victim-perpetrator cycle keeps you trapped—and the one shift that breaks you free→ Why nature has no purpose—and what that means for your obsession with finding yours→ The reason your grief, heartbreak, and pain aren't problems to solve but waves to ride→ How to move from "life is happening to me" to "life is happening as me"→ The one regenerative act that opens the floodgates for nature to restore everythingYou are not broken for feeling everything so deeply. You are an infinite soul in a finite body, which means you signed up for constant loss—and constant falling in love. The sunsets. The people. The moments. To be alive is to grieve and marvel in equal measure. And the courage to feel—fully, without resistance—is the medicine this world needs most. Listen now and remember what it means to truly feel your way through this one precious life.Connect with Dr. Bush:Website: https://journeyofintrinsichealth.com/Join Dr Bush’s Community: https://journeyofintrinsichealth.com/Instagram: @zachbushmdConnect with Raj:Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

  • 115. 115. Annie Lalla: What Brilliant People Get Wrong About Love: The Relationship Skills No One Taught You

    01:11:22||Season 2, Ep. 115
    You've done the work. You've built the career, gone to therapy, read the books. So why does love still feel like the one area where your brilliance doesn't translate?Annie Lalla is a relationship cartographer with an Honors Science Degree in Biology and Philosophy, a minor in Buddhism, and professional certifications in Coaching, NLP, and Clinical Hypnotherapy. Her work weaves evolutionary psychology, integral theory, intergenerational family systems, and therapeutic sexuality into a framework that actually works. She helps singles done with dating find their person—and couples in love resolve the conflicts that keep them stuck. Her mission: help you build a relationship that's a trampoline for your dreams and a sanctuary for your heart.In this episode, you'll discover:→ Why women are actually the visionary leaders of relationships—and what happens when they wait to be rescued instead→ The reason your partner triggers you so intensely (hint: you've time-traveled back to childhood)→ How to know if overwhelming emotions are actually yours—or inherited pain you've been carrying for someone else→ The simple practice that releases feelings that aren't yours back to their rightful owner→ Why conflict is actually a collaboration trying to happen—and how to use it to strengthen your bond→ The "WTF to MLK" method that transforms criticism into an invitation your partner can't refuse→ What your partner is really doing when they challenge you (think Michelangelo carving David)→ The one question that reveals whether a relationship is worth the growth it demandsHere's the truth: The love you're looking for exists. But it won't come from rescue. It won't come from finding someone who finally "gets it" so you don't have to feel your feelings anymore. True love is the emotional CrossFit of human existence—and it's rare because most people are chasing happily ever after instead of alive ever after. The fantasy says love should be easy. The truth says love is the highest game you can play as a human being. You have everything you need to lead. Listen to the full episode and let Annie show you how.Connect with Annie:Website: https://www.annielalla.com/Instagram: @lallabirdConnect with Raj:Newsletter – Sign up here: https://www.rajjana.com/staygrounded/Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

    What if 40% of the patients walking into doctor's offices have real, debilitating symptoms—but nothing physically wrong with their bodies?Dr. David Clarke has spent decades proving this isn't "all in your head." It's in your brain—and it's changeable.

  • 111. 111. Raj Jana: Is It Safe to Feel Safe? How Childhood Trauma Makes Healing Feel Dangerous

    24:42||Season 2, Ep. 111
    Your body is screaming for rest, but the moment you try to slow down, every alarm in your system goes off. Why does stillness feel like a threat?Because while you're chasing tangible solutions, your nervous system is running on an invisible map—one created when you were 3 years old. A map that says: the world is dangerous, don't let your guard down. And that map is keeping you sick.Most people don't realize that safety itself feels dangerous. The moment symptoms improve, you're waiting for them to come back. The moment you start to relax, panic sets in. This isn't self-sabotage. This is your nervous system operating on outdated programming—and it's triggering something called Cell Danger Response at the cellular level.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why your nervous system learned that feeling safe is actually dangerous—and how this contradiction is manifesting in your body right now• The unconscious "safety map" created between ages 0-7 that still dictates your healing capacity as an adult• How Cell Danger Response keeps your cells in defense mode, blocking detox, energy production, and healing—no matter what supplements you take• The survival strategies you developed (perfectionism, hyper-independence, people-pleasing) that saved you then but are destroying your health now• Why you can't think, supplement, or protocol your way out of nervous system dysregulation• The three pillars of true nervous system transformation: Awareness, Witnessing, and Integration• Why relational medicine (being seen and held by safe others) is more powerful than any biohack• How one woman raised her HRV from the 30s to the 90s in 90 days using this exact frameworkReady to experience what it feels like to be truly witnessed? Book a complimentary 30-minute Liber8 session at https://www.liber8.health/witness and discover what happens when your nervous system is held in safe presence.Connect with Raj:Newsletter – Sign up here: https://www.rajjana.com/staygrounded/Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

  • 108. 108. Raj Jana: How to Close Life Chapters Without Carrying Baggage Into Your Future | Monthly Reflection Practice

    28:49||Season 2, Ep. 108
    Are you starting something new but feeling stuck in old patterns? The problem isn't the opportunity ahead—it's the unfinished business you're carrying with you.Most people try to move forward while dragging the weight of unclosed chapters, unprocessed emotions, and misaligned relationships. They wonder why new relationships feel like old ones, why career changes don't bring fulfillment, or why success still feels empty. The truth? Transformation isn't complete until you properly close what was.In this raw and deeply personal monthly reflection, Raj shares his journey of returning to Austin after five years of self-discovery, moving in with his partner, and completely reimagining his company Liber8. He reveals the often-overlooked art of completion—and why mastering it is the key to creating alignment in everything you do.In this episode, you'll discover:Why friction in your life is actually a gift showing you what's misalignedThe cancer survivor who experienced remission only after addressing her emotional trauma (and why the symptom is never the root cause)How to track "dis-ease" in your body as a map to know exactly where you are in lifeWhy you can't birth something new without letting old versions of yourself die firstThe question you're afraid to answer—and how it's keeping you stuckWhat happens to your body when you finally release emotional debt through being witnessedWhy the science doesn't heal you (but creating safety for your soul does)How monthly reflection became Raj's most powerful tool for closure and transformationThe truth is simple but profound: You are enough. You don't need to do more—you need to be held, witnessed, and seen as you release what you've been carrying.This isn't just another self-help conversation. It's an invitation to give yourself permission to complete, to grieve, to let go—and finally step into full alignment.Connect with Raj:Newsletter – Sign up here: https://www.rajjana.com/staygrounded/Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.
