Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Awaken Your Greatest Self by Overcoming Limiting Beliefs with Josh Axe
[1:33] – Josh shares something he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- He believes that success is not just about achieving things but growing in character and using your skills for the greater good. Contrary to popular views, success is not solely defined by accomplishments; it is about who you become, focusing on character development rather than just checking off tasks on a to-do list.
[3:26] – Josh shares his story of overcoming a life-threatening issue and running a successful business simultaneously.
- About a year and a half ago, he had a routine procedure for a back injury from weightlifting at his company, Ancient Nutrition.
- The stem cell injection went wrong, causing an infection in his spine. Doctors warned of potential permanent pain or disability. Instead of accepting it, he devised a detailed strategy for healing. He spent hours in a hyperbaric chamber, had IV treatments, and followed a strict diet.
- Despite running three companies and not walking for about a year, he pursued a leadership degree and wrote a book. His mindset was to make the most of life, whether walking or not, driven by a purpose to use my gifts for a positive impact.
[6:40] – What was the one thing that would have been possible if you could not have had none of it?
- Josh used to focus on teaching people how to use food as medicine, but he shifted his mindset towards understanding that mindset itself is powerful medicine.
- He delved into medical studies about neuroplasticity, which shows the brain’s ability to rewire nerve signals and promote healing.
- The placebo effect and its counterpart, the nocebo effect, also played a role.
- He realized that what he believes about healing and success impacts me more than anything else. While he acknowledges the benefits of treatments like hyperbaric chambers and vitamin IVs, he emphasizes the importance of mindset, visualization, and a specific strategy to achieve desired outcomes in health and business.

[14:23] – The 3 Keys to Success are limiting beliefs, purpose, and vision.
- Josh learned a crucial life lesson early on – a single limiting belief can severely impact or ruin one’s future.
- He shares a personal story from high school, where a teacher’s discouragement about his grades shattered his dream of becoming a doctor.
- This belief persisted until another teacher recognized his writing talent in college, prompting a mindset shift.
- Identifying and replacing limiting beliefs to unlock one’s full potential is essential.
- The three-step process: identifying talents, determining passions, and finding ways to make money.
- Aligning these aspects can help define one’s purpose—the significance of aligning one’s purpose with positively impacting the world.
- The “visualization to realization” process involves prioritizing values before visualizing goals. The actual fulfillment comes from positively impacting others and making the world a better place.
- The process includes starting with priorities, visualizing end goals, and aligning them with personal values to set the trajectory for success.
[23:04] Josh talks more about the story of his mind shift.
- He thought it was powerful when someone defined success as making a positive impact. When visualizing your goals, be specific and focus on what truly fulfills you. Homes and possessions can be part of it, but there’s more to consider. Break down your visualized goals into specific areas of your life, like family.
- The following steps are to strategize using the first thinking principles, identify essential components for success, and then systematize by creating habits. This detailed approach applies to various aspects of life, from business to health.
- Overcoming limiting beliefs, finding your purpose, and following a detailed visualization-to-realization process are crucial for success, as discussed in his book, “Think This, Not That.” These three elements have been vital for his success.
