Chapter 1: Why is stress detrimental to sexual health?
Well, the thing is, so let's just talk about some of the stats on that. If women are too stressed, if their cortisol levels are too high, they become physically incapable of orgasm. If men's cortisol levels are too high and also their adrenaline levels are too high, they become physically incapable of having an erection.
Wow.
Because adrenaline is trying to keep that blood everywhere else in the body. You've got to outrun a tiger. You can't afford to have an erection.
All right, guys, got Emily here. We're going to talk Ziva magic here today.
Yeah, we are.
Just did a wonderful breathwork session. I feel good. Thanks for doing that for me. Yeah.
My pleasure.
Yeah. Breathwork is powerful. Wim Hof is my first kind of foray into it.
What I love about Wim is that he managed to make his name a verb about breathing. Talk about branding expert.

Chapter 2: What is Ziva Meditation and how can it benefit you?
Okay.
And just relying on that. I had no holistic techniques.
Yeah. People have called Ziva nature Xanax. And I really love that.
Yeah.
It feels like a big compliment.
That is a great compliment. Yeah.
Because it's the whole deal is like nature has installed inside of us this internal pharmacy of medicine.
Right.
And anything that we would take exogenously is working on some sort of internal receptors. You know, if you put LSD into the brain of a lizard, it does not trip because it doesn't make that particular like God chemical.

Chapter 3: How does meditation compare to medication for stress relief?
What does understudying mean?
It means that you show up to the theater and you have no idea which character you're going to play.
What?
And they can just switch you from one to the other. Or you could just be chilling in your dressing room having a snack. And then someone's like, Emily Fletcher, we
you're on stage and so it's very it's like this constant fight or flight even if you're not on stage wow i didn't know broadway operated like that i thought everyone knew their role well they do but imagine if the lead breaks their ankle imagine if the lead gets sick you know you gotta know everyone's lines well you gotta know the people that you understudy these lines so i understudied three of the leads and that's a lot of lines it's and also a lot of choreography a lot of different harmonies a lot of it's yeah that's stressful so you found out that wasn't your path
Well, I honestly, when I learned to meditate, I was just doing it to be better at that. And it did. It made me a much better performer. Not just from the stress, but also just like spiritually. I think if you don't have a way to plug yourself in, if you don't have a way to fill yourself up with fulfillment, then of course you're going to look for that fulfillment externally, right?
Like maybe this boyfriend, maybe this zero in the bank account, maybe this next job, then I'll be happy. But with meditation, you're flooding your own brain and body with dopamine and serotonin. You're like actually getting high on your own supply. And then you can see those things as opportunities to deliver your fulfillment versus where you need to go to fill yourself up.
And so that shift, it gives you this level of detachment, gives you this level of like leaning back, which is sexy. It's attractive. It's magnetic versus like, please date me. Please hire me. Please like me. Like that neediness is not sexy.
Not attractive.

Chapter 4: How can meditation enhance your creativity and performance?
Six years ago.
Okay.
Yeah, I like to do that with guests. I like to see like what they were talking about a long time ago. What was I talking about? You said only 8% of Americans meditate. I looked up the new statistics. It's at 14. So it's gotten a little better.
I'm going to call that a win. I'm going to put that in the W category.
I'd say you played a role in that.
I would say I have too.
That's cool.
Even if not me directly. I mean, I've taught probably 60,000 people to meditate directly. I think it's been 950,000 people who've done my training on other platforms. But I think more importantly, like the people who I've taught. You know, I've talked at Google and Apple and Viacom and Harvard Business School and athletes and Tony Award winners and Grammy Award winners.
And, you know, you have one Oscar Award winner tweeting about like, hey, this is what meditation has done. And then it starts to be cool. Right. You know, I'd say Tim Ferriss has played a huge role in that. He says 90% of his podcast guests start their day with meditation. Whoa. Nine zero. And he's the high performance guy, right?
