Let's face it, we've all got a check engine light flashing. Maybe it's that low back pain you've had for years, or the emotional baggage that's collecting dust in your brain, or the growing fluffiness around your waistline, or maybe it's something you are not even sure whether to interpret as a warning signal. But all of us let things build up over time, and those things drag us down and keep us from living and performing at our best. Sometimes we know exactly why the light is flashing, but we either can't or won't slow down long enough to investigate. Other times we don't realize the light is flashing at all. Rob Wilson's Check Engine Light delivers a fresh approach to identifying these hidden and not-so-hidden signals so you make more informed decisions about how you drive, when to perform maintenance, and when repairs might be due. Learning to tune into your indicators will give you the opportunity to tweak and adjust your habits and approaches to health, whatever they may be, before the "car" ends up on the side of the road with the muffler tumbling down the highway a mile back. This book is different from any other health book you've read. It does not provide static protocols or step-by-step instructions that are meant to lead to a specific end point, because only you know what works best for you. Instead, it describes a new way of interacting with the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of your personal health. While all humans have some commonalities, each of us expresses our health in ways that are unique to our genetics, upbringing, personal history, physical environment, and culture. This complex cocktail of ingredients makes us who and what we are as individuals, and that customized blend shapes our health and performance. In this book you will: Examine how and why people tend to ignore important health indicators until it's too late Learn to think critically about your own health perception and how to calibrate that perception using objective toolsBuild a dashboard of reliable indicators so you have access to information about your personal health and performance and what might be in need of your attentionLearn how to select the right tools and protocols for your performance longevity toolkit Check Engine Light is about creating a plan to tune your body to go the distance, at peak performance. It comes complete with a self-guided workbook and case studies from elite athletes and warfighters that will inspire you to hop back in the driver's seat of your own health with confidence and clarity.
