The Total Balance System – a conversation with creator Dan Metcalfe
23 Plays4 days ago
Training your brain will make your body more effective.
Dan Metcalfe started his career as an athlete. He danced in West End musicals, worked on Hollywood films and a best seller on Q.V.C. He is currently the force behind the Total Balance Company which he set-up to market the Total Balance System that he developed.
In this episode of the Abeceder health and wellbeing podcast Fit For My Age Dan and host Michael Millward discuss the ideas that form the basis of Dan’s book BORN SUPERHUMAN - Wellness Whispers: The 7 Pillars for Natural Health.
Their conversation covers:
- Dan’s career with Michael encouraging some name dropping.
- Dans work with Bob Newhart and what he learnt about the brain and our behaviour.
- The connection between falls and premature death
- How the brain controls movement
- Why it is important to educate the brain as well as train the body
- How the brain saves memories of accidents and acts to protect a repetition
- The consequences of the epidemic of tiredness
This is a thought-provoking episode that will change your perceptions of how our bodies change as we age and how our brain tries to change our behaviours.

Creating the Total Balance System: A Journey of Overcoming Challenges
00:01:51
Speaker
Now that I have paid some bills, it is time to make an episode of Fit For My Age that will be well worth listening to, liking, downloading and subscribing to, and one that will be well worth telling your friends, family and work colleagues about as well.
00:02:06
Speaker
Very importantly on Fit For My Age, we do not tell you what to think, but we do hope to make you think. Hello, Dan. Hi, Michael. Thanks. It's great to be here on Fit For My Age.
00:02:17
Speaker
Thank you very much. I'm really looking forward to hearing more about all the various different things that you've done and this balance program that you've created, the Total Balance System. um But could we start, please, with you filling in a bit of the gaps. How do you go from being an athlete, dancer, movie star?
00:02:36
Speaker
How did it all come to be? It sounds like you've had someone who's been looking after you.
Overcoming Spinal and Brain Injuries: Dan's Recovery
00:02:41
Speaker
Well, I have to say I've taken the time to look after me as we all should because I've gone through some real challenges, everything from actually having an accident on stage during Andrew Lloyd Webber's show in Las Vegas where I fractured my spine, I was paralyzed and the doctors told me I'd be disabled for life.
00:02:59
Speaker
And one thing that we don't realize enough because we rely so much on outside sources is we are incredible. We are born to heal. We're made to heal if we invest in ourselves. So that was one of the challenges that I had and came back from that.
00:03:15
Speaker
Ended up racing the Ironman, opened my own gyms in Los Angeles. And then I was out on a bike ride one day. and had a metal pole hit me in the head at 22 miles an hour. I was knocked unconscious, secondary impact, and the result was after three minutes of being unconscious on the ground, part of my brain died. I had to learn to talk again, learn to walk properly, learn how to function, put on a bunch of weight, and it was such a gift because it made me understand when people are suffering what they really feel and how important quality of life really is.
00:03:50
Speaker
Yes, I can see what you mean there. And you've certainly built quite a quality life and are helping other people improve their lives as well.
Hollywood Memories: Working with Channing Tatum
00:03:59
Speaker
But I have to ask, you in the list of people that you've worked with in Hollywood is Channing Tatum, who is the the driving force behind the Magic Mike films. is Is that a franchise that you've been involved in?
00:04:12
Speaker
Not involved with the franchise, but i have to say Chan is incredible. What a great guy he is. And I'm not saying that because I'm on, you know, being recorded and want to get kudo points. He is, as in real life as you see in the movies, just a super nice guy. I was able to work with him very closely. And he genuinely is somebody that brings a light and an energy. And I really think that's part of the reason he's been so successful. It's not just that he's a talented actor, but he's just a great person to work with. And and for those people that love him, and there's a lot of people out there that love him, he is what you see.
00:04:48
Speaker
Brilliant. So meaning really is that you can have the skills, the talents, but of the things that makes you really successful is the emotional intelligence to go with it as well and connect with people. Certainly to last. I mean, if you want to last in the industry, you can have a short run, but he's proven it again and again and is somebody that people want to work with. Invaluable.
The Evolution of Balance: Brain Training vs. Physical Strengthening
00:05:08
Speaker
All of the accidents that you had, like the accident on stage and then the accident where you hit with a metal pole, which sounds horrific, um that's educated you around balance and recovery as well. How did you go about developing the balance, the total balance system? Yeah, great question, Michael. What happened was because of my brain injury and what the doctors wanted to do was just put me on drugs and say, you know, we're going to numb down the brain so you're not suffering.
00:05:40
Speaker
I went and studied the brain and I had to go for my own existence. And I have a saying that I love. Why be a victim when you can be a hero? But the hero has to be for yourself. But along the way, there was a gentleman by the name of Bob Eubanks in America. Everyone will know him from the newlywed game. He actually was the producer that bought the Beatles to America for their first concert tours two years in California. And he was 79 and falling.
00:06:06
Speaker
And I could see he had lost his energy and excitement for life. And we see this with so many people when they're hit a certain age and they start fearing falling because they've heard the danger or they've fallen and now they live in fear.
00:06:18
Speaker
So I said to Bob, you know come to my house. I had a gym, but I said, let's keep this private. And I'm going to do what any great trainer is going to do. I'm going to strengthen your legs, strengthen your hip flexors so that you can lift your feet and not shuffle. I'm strengthening your core and your walk better.
00:06:33
Speaker
Brilliant plan. But within two minutes, I realized I was 100% wrong. And that was the beginning of the evolution of creating a new balance system that I got tens of thousands of people around the world that are using it with unprecedented results because instead of training the body, I said, let's train the brain. I realized with Bob, his body was actually strong, but he didn't have the confidence to let it go because he was thinking of the fall and not working back to balance recovery.
00:07:05
Speaker
And the simple way to say this is if gyms were the solution to balance and mobility, we'd be taking children to the gym to help them learn to walk. It's not. It's from the brain and the brain connection to the body, which is our proprioception. It's our motor neurons firing. And just as importantly is the sensory messaging from what we're doing.
Challenging Aging Norms with Brain Training
00:07:29
Speaker
going back to the brain and saying to the brain, this is what's happening and it has to happen so fast that the brain corrects the body movement before we're even conscious of it. That's very interesting because when you talked about strengthening the hips, the back, and so people could move and wouldn't be shuffling, they'd be propping making proper steps. I thought, yeah, that's right. That must be right. But then this training of the brain, that makes so much sense to me.
00:07:59
Speaker
because it's correct me if i'm wrong check my understanding is that the fear of falling in an elderly person sort of overwrites what the brain knows the fear takes control and that then means that the body responds to that by making these shuffling steps rather than proper steps and because then that shuffle has resulted in a movement forward that reinforces the reason for the fear and the brain yeah now we shuffle rather than taking a proper step but you've got to train the brain to make the proper step and understand how to avoid the fall as a result of making the proper step
00:08:47
Speaker
Yeah, it's actually, i can go very, i can go quite a bit deeper, but I'll keep this short because I'd like people to think about this. Like when you start investigating your own thought process, it actually opens up new channels of of life ahead.
00:09:00
Speaker
There was a study done back in Bristol University in 2009 where they looked at what's happening within the brain, specifically the cerebellum. The cerebellum is the part of the brain at the back. They call it the mini brain, the little brain.
00:09:15
Speaker
And that's really where most of your control of movement comes from. It's right above the spinal cord. And they found or discovered a part, the pyramids within the cerebellum that has a memory for movement, which would make sense.
00:09:28
Speaker
Now it's connected, and I'm just gonna throw this name out here, don't don't you know get worried about it, it's called the periaqueductal gray. This is part of the brain that controls our movement. So for example, if we're scared or we're walking to the edge of a cliff, even though we know where to stop, we walk so much slower because we know the danger, the brain is identifying danger.
00:09:50
Speaker
Now, the reason that people shuffle isn't because they can't lift their feet. it's because they want to keep both feet on the ground because the brain is saying, I'm uncomfortable trusting what I've always done my whole life.
00:10:02
Speaker
So what we had to do was go in and say, how can we release the memory of danger in the cerebellum? And that removes the slowness of responding to people that have a fear of falling or have fallen.
00:10:17
Speaker
And that combines with society that sets us up by saying, when you reach a certain age and you start to fall, that's just part of aging. And I had to go in and prove that's not part of aging because we have millions of people around the world that have never stepped foot in a gym and yet they have tremendous balance, mobility, movement and exploring life.
00:10:39
Speaker
And we have others that live in fear and they're unable to get up and move. Most of it is because of the messaging we've been sent to the brain. It's just the way it is. Well, it's not.
00:10:50
Speaker
Aging is never the reason. What we do and how we maintain is the reason. There are so many thoughts in my head following what you just said there, I'm not quite sure which which thought to go with first, but it sounds as if we can, as we age, older people start to feel as if they should expect to fall so that they then take these actions to help prevent themselves from feeling.
00:11:20
Speaker
And that's almost part of the part of the gn norm, whereas We need to reconnect with our confidence in our ability to move and to move in that way because we have what it takes to to move safely.
00:11:36
Speaker
Yes, so much. Again, when I think back to babies learning to walk, their muscles strengthened by standing upright, by moving, by increasing their activity.
00:11:49
Speaker
And then if you want to have more stamina, endurance or strength, you might add resistance to it. But I look at my mother who's you know in her 80s and still working and out walking. When she walks, she gets stronger. When she gets out and has fun or goes dancing, her body's reacting no different than a baby. But one of the things that really gets to me is when someone is a full risk, they send people into the home to remove the rugs, put handles on the on the walls or by the toilet. They you know remove toys out the way they open it up. We're not addressing the problem.
00:12:24
Speaker
What we're doing is we're going to remove the risk of you tripping and falling. Well, instead of cleaning the house up that you've always walked around, why don't we retrain your body? by connecting the brain to body and then doing exercises that naturally strengthen you to replicate everyday movements and activities.
00:12:44
Speaker
Because the beautiful thing, Michael, is when you've done it before, you know what to do. The brain doesn't lose the memory. It loses the confidence. And then we're told, do less, sit down more. Don't do that. It's too dangerous.
00:12:58
Speaker
And so we become our own problem But if you're willing to take the actions to actually get up and improve safely, safely is everything. As I said before with the periaqueductical grave, the brain fears danger. It will slow down and not allow the speed of neurological messaging throughout the body.
00:13:18
Speaker
But if we're safe and willing to do the work, it's incredible what we can do.
The Importance of Investing in Health and Mobility
00:13:23
Speaker
We're all born superhuman. We're all miracles. We've just got to unleash the miracle within. it sounds as if.
00:13:30
Speaker
we are all capable of doing these things, but somehow or another, we convince ourselves as a result of influences, expectations, negative beliefs that we're not.
00:13:46
Speaker
And I guess, yeah, it's clicked. Train the brain to do physical things that we think we're not capable of doing but the brain is capable of allowing us to do it as long as we we reinforce that positive message absolutely it's like people listening to this podcast on the way to work by the time they're driving home they're tired and aging is the excessive pursuit of sedentary comfort
00:14:20
Speaker
So what happens when we come back? We don't want to do something. We've been tired. Look, people have worked hard their whole life. And the last thing they want to come you back home to do is to have to work out or go to the gym. They've got responsibilities, families, work projects. They don't have much sleep before they start tomorrow.
00:14:40
Speaker
And I'll put it exactly this way. Most people spend 70% their life working to earn money at the expense of their health.
00:14:51
Speaker
And the last 30% of their life is spending all the money they had trying to regain their health. And as little as 10 minutes a day of balanced movement strengthening will make a huge difference to allow you to do the things either when you retire that you wanted to do or on the weekends as we begin to age and we just want to rest. No, you'll have the energy and the power to get out and actually live life and we should be living life.
00:15:18
Speaker
Yes, very much so. Very much so. Albert, we've talked there about people who are having problems with balance because of their age. There are also people who have problems with balance because of having had an injury or of developing some sort of health condition.
00:15:36
Speaker
And I suspect that the situation is different for those people than it is for people are just getting older. Yeah, I mean, there's numerous reasons for balance loss. We've got neurological issues like Parkinson's, MS. I i train currently over a thousand Parkinson's patients. ah MS stroke survivors.
00:15:58
Speaker
We've got like you said injuries. We've got vestibular issues. We got we begin to lose our vision and that can affect with spatial acuity of what we're looking at and then you've got medications as well and when you start adding all these different things together the body is changing at a neurological or physiological direction and The beauty of the brain is that it adapts to where we're at.
00:16:26
Speaker
So even if you are going through different issues, but the balance loss is the result or mobility loss is the result, we can still train the brain to fit where we're at to increase the strength within the body to brain messaging and brain to body saying, if I know I want to do it, I can do it.
00:16:52
Speaker
If I know I want to do it, I can do it. And that's what it comes down to. The devil inside me sort of says, that sounds like trainer speak. It's very easy to say, if you do if you know you want to do it, you can do it. No such word as can't and all that sort of stuff.
00:17:11
Speaker
But that still means that for people who've dev developed some type of health condition, had an injury, here I am talking like this to someone who has had it. an injury, those brain injuries.
00:17:22
Speaker
and You make it sound very simple. What are the sorts of steps that someone would need to go through to achieve the sorts of success that you you you're saying are possible?
00:17:35
Speaker
Well, the first thing that we have to do is decide what do you actually want? Because if you don't know what you want, you don't know where to go and you're certainly not willing to put in the work. But if I ask you a question, Michael, that I ask a lot of people I work with, what's the most valuable thing you have in life? Oh, my health. And most people say health, family.
00:17:54
Speaker
um Some people in Los Angeles will say my shoes or my bags. It's, you know, we are. There are those people all over the world. It's not just in Los Angeles. Let's be nice. Yeah. But if i what I tend to correct people with is the most valuable thing we have in life is time.
00:18:10
Speaker
Oh, true. Because time, when time is gone, everything's gone. But, and this is where I start the training. What we do with our time shows what's most important to us. So if you sit on the sofa, you know, drinking a soda and having cake and watching TV and you're investing your time into that, even though you'll say, it's not most important to me, it is because that's what you're investing time into. So what sounds like the trainer speech, and I love that term,
00:18:37
Speaker
is really what do you want because you will invest your time into what's most important. So if it's not important to be healthy, if it's not important to be mobile and be able to live and go on holiday and, and you know, when you go on holiday, go out on excursions or go swimming or running or whatever you like to do, then don't expect to get the results and your life, we know what's going happen. It will decline. Mm-hmm.
00:19:02
Speaker
So once we know what we want, then I say, then what are you willing to do? Are you willing to do 10 minutes a day of brain to body balance training exercises that you can do while you're watching TV?
00:19:15
Speaker
And if they say, no, I'm not willing to do it, then I'm saying, then don't expect a different result. You know, what's the saying? the The definition of idiocy is doing the same thing again and again, expecting a different result.
00:19:29
Speaker
So what I have to do is turn around and say, what would you love to do again? Because until we envision it, we're not going to do it. But once we envision it and we sometimes have to go back to what we used to do,
00:19:43
Speaker
Because those neurons of remembering it, if I said, remember something you did as a kid that you loved, I loved going dancing to um Human League or whichever it was, and then you put the music on, you tend to wake up a little bit.
00:19:54
Speaker
So we want to stimulate the neurons to get excited and then be willing to do the work. How many people just drift through life without actually working out what it is that they want from life?
00:20:07
Speaker
and If you can't work out what it is you want from life, you can't identify what you need to put into life because there is no point in doing anything because you don't know what you want at the end of it.
00:20:19
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, there's an incredible study that was done by Dr. George Land back in 1968.
Rediscovering Creative Genius: Lessons from Children
00:20:25
Speaker
And I won't go into the study here, but what he discovered was four and five-year-olds had the same creative genius level as the top 2% of scientists at NASA.
00:20:35
Speaker
Mm-hmm. and it was fascinating because we weren't limited as four and five-year-olds how to think we would be creative and over time we're numbed down to stop being creative and fit into the system and what i love is waking people up to the brilliance that's still inside them and then giving them the tools to be able to go to work specifically in in this conversation with balance and mobility Because you keep your independence. You get to go out and do the things. We've all seen someone that's lost their balance, their mobility, sitting in a chair, smiling, but they've lost that spark in their eye.
00:21:13
Speaker
And we know it's only a downward trajectory to the grave. And as much as that sounds horrible, it's reality, it's truth. We know that, you know what's crazy is I did a bunch of studying in America.
00:21:26
Speaker
There's a roughly 70 million people in America that are suffering right now from balance loss. Now, when you look at that and put that into England, it's around 35% people.
00:21:39
Speaker
The percentage in England is between 15 and 20 million people. We're close to 30, 35%. It seems to be a worldwide issue of aging.
00:21:49
Speaker
And it's because I think in Western society especially, we're tired. We've worked so hard and and felt the need to have to earn and provide. Absolutely, and and we should, but not at the expense of our health when we have the ability to have both.
00:22:08
Speaker
That is true. I'm thinking that, you it's the actual concept of retirement as time when you are not working, not been around for that long.
00:22:20
Speaker
And the way in which Western economies are going at the moment, our ability to take that same sort of retirement that our grandparents or great grandparents took, where it's holidays and allotments and days out, all those sorts of things.
00:22:38
Speaker
is going to become much more difficult because pensions will not be what they used to be. And so we have to stay active longer in order to make sure that we have enough money to do the things that we really want to do If you lose your balance, if you if you lose all that ability to be mobile, to be flexible, that becomes increasingly difficult as well. So it's not just a movement, an activity based thing that we're talking about.
00:23:06
Speaker
It's actually the ability to earn a living for longer as well.
The Serious Impact of Falls in Seniors
00:23:12
Speaker
It's life. At the end of the day, do we want quality of life or existence of life?
00:23:18
Speaker
And the number one cause leading to death in seniors is falls. Think about that. The number one cause, we spend a lot of money, rightly so, looking for cancer cures and looking for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and these different things But the number one cause leading to death is balance.
00:23:37
Speaker
And when I came out with this program, I got a lot of resistance. I got things written about my programs in the press. You Dan Metcalf, what an idiot. How can he really talk about this? You know, training the brain and it should be the body. We've got to strengthen the body. The body's the problem.
00:23:52
Speaker
And I just kept my head down. We're scientifically backed. The proof, though, that's huge for me is whatever happens in the clinics or in the science labs.
00:24:03
Speaker
At the end of the day, what counts is what happens in real life. So we have the scientific data, but what really inspires me is it's not the data of what happens there in the testing.
00:24:15
Speaker
It's the thousands upon thousands of people that have got their life back. That's the ultimate test of results because the rest is just writings. Just because it says it works doesn't mean to say it's going to. It's what we actually attain.
00:24:28
Speaker
Yes. Why do you think falls in... older people is such a catalyst for the death.
Health Decline Post-Falls: Confidence in Recovery
00:24:40
Speaker
Well the first thing that happens, and it happens to anybody even a child, when we fall and get injured we lose our independence. People have to help us until we heal.
00:24:48
Speaker
But when they fall as a senior, we're not healing as quickly because we haven't got that same energy within ourselves that we used to have. And we sit down more, we move less.
00:24:59
Speaker
Now there's also, we know hip injuries, hip fractures, wrist and spinal head traumas. are critical elements of decline. know, hip fractures come, 95% of hip fractures happen because of a fall.
00:25:14
Speaker
And yet 10% of people over 65 that fall, that year. ten percent won't last that year There's the downward spiral because the loss of confidence, we're moving slower. You then end up with muscle loss, the atrophy that happens that we know muscle by not moving has a direct impact on our ability to live longer, slower reactions.
00:25:37
Speaker
And what people don't know is 50% chance of falling again within two weeks of a fall. But one in three people will fall over the age of 65 every year.
00:25:50
Speaker
And then what happens? The fear wins because now you're so scared you want to sit down. And then we have cognitive loss. We have neurological decline. And the chance of recovery, because not everybody's able to get the help they need to recover, ends up being a very fast downward spiral. And I'm not talking this.
00:26:10
Speaker
We've all seen it. We've all experienced it. And you know it's very, very sad. But a little effort goes a long way.
Investing in Health for Future Benefits
00:26:20
Speaker
yeah yes yeah i've certainly you've opened my eyes down to all sorts of different issues and the simple straightforward things that we can do in order to help our older relatives to i suppose in simple terms rebuild the confidence that enables them to move in a more positive way strengthen
00:26:49
Speaker
their bodies and their minds so they have the confidence to do that and that will help prevent the falls improve their balance prevent falls and if they do fall enable them to recover in a more positive way it is such an interesting subject and i'm very grateful for your time thank you very much for helping me make such an interesting episode of of fit for my age yeah thank you i'll leave this question what do you want to be in 10 years time Where do you want to be in 20 years' time?
