88. Eben Britton | From NFL Player to Biohacking Yogi: Finding Stability in Flexibility
About this episode
Eben Britton played 6 seasons in the NFL — about to go all pro — and after a gnarly injury took him out of the game, he began his rehabilitation journey with the “help” of prescription opioids. Soon after, he was met with edgy, irritable and angry side effects that wreaked havoc on his entire state of being. Realizing this was the Universe literally sitting him down — taking him out of the game — he began his journey off the field with the intention of tending to his complete well being.
Eben and I dive into...
→ His vicious cycle with adderall, weed and alcohol
→ Growing up in a chaotic and addiction-heavy environment and learning to trust that there is a higher power at work
→ The foundations of nurturing his well being
→ Working with consistency vs rigidity
→ The only rituals that matter are the ones that work for you
→ Flexibility being the key to stability
→ And more!
