099 Ted Ryce: Eat, Sleep, & Move Your Way To Legendary Health
00:59:27
Ted Ryce is a 20 year Celebrity Fitness Expert, Keynote Speaker, Corporate Wellness Coach and Host of the Legendary Life Podcast
In his dynamic health and wellness career, Ted has worked with Fortune 500 CEOs, busy professionals and celebrities, including Richard Branson, Ricky Martin and Robert Downey Jr. by helping his clients develop high-performance habits that help them manage stress, adversity, and lead more successful lives.
His philosophy is that being a high-performance person, one who chases and achieves their biggest goals, isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity to survive and thrive in the modern world.
Listen to Episode 099 as Ted Uncovers
How we can begin to take the initial steps towards sleeping, eating, and moving better amidst all of our constant distractions.
Strength training can benefit your entire mind and body by releasing beneficial hormones.
We can still maintain a high level of fitness and strength well into old age through sustainable training.
What periodization is and how it can help our bodies become stronger.
Who the best sources of health and wellness information are.
How we can use eccentric isometric and yielding isometric exercises to help stimulate and strengthen the muscle.
How long should we work out for? Understanding your body type is key to selecting what workouts to do and for how long you should be doing them. Some different body types include endomorph, ectomorph, and mesomorph.
Implement habit change with nutrition and movement to help you turn your health around.
How we all have a "fat thermostat" that affects our hormones and influences our emotional state. Changing habits will be better for our emotions compared to crash diets.
Avoid decision fatigue and plan to eat healthy while avoiding sugary snacks.
To sleep better, pay attention to the quality of your sleep: track your sleeping habits, stay away from electronic devices, lower the temperature in your bedroom, use devices or apps to help if necessary, and learn to balance your exercise routine.
Sleep quality usually depends on light, noise, temperature, and sound so make sure you create the best sleeping environment for your needs.
Top 3 Takeaways From The Show
We need to get in touch with what our bodies are telling us. No one truly knows our bodies better than we do ourselves and we're the only ones that can fix any problems that we have. To become healthier, we need to start listening to our bodies and making healthy changes that are in accordance with our limits.
With so much constant information available to us, it's hard to know who you can trust. Seek out the right health tips and guidance from people who are constantly evolving and willing to change their philosophies. They're willing to experiment and learn by trying new diets, exercise, and wellness technology.
To achieve sustainable health, focus on movement, sleep, and nutrition. To stay strong, fit, and active, muscle stimulation will help you become stronger and healthy. Sleep is so important for our bodies and we need it to be able to function. If you're not sleeping enough to restore your lost energy, you should take a look at your nighttime ritual and see if you can improve it.
Power Quotes From Ted Ryce
"You've gotta set yourself up for success because willpower won't get you there." - Ted Ryce
"We are ancient bodies in a modern world. We have hunter-gatherer genes. We are designed to hunt for our foods, to be outside, to get sun in our skin. We're now really out of sync with where we came from." - Ted Ryce on how we live today compared to our ancestors.
"If wake up in the morning and you don't feel good, you're fatigued, and then you've got brain fog, you've gotta look at your lifestyle and you've gotta learn the rules of the human body. There's no psychologist that's going to fix that. There's no medication you'll be able to take that'll be able to fix your problem if you're living too out of sync with what your genes need to function optimally." - Ted Ryce on why we should focus on listening to our bodies for optimal health.
"I want everyone listening to understand that you can maintain a high level of fitness, strong muscles, and a healthy body well into old age." - Ted Ryce on why sustainable health is attainable
"You have to pay attention to your body and yes, you have to work, but pushing too hard is what we call over-reaching because you should never push so long that it turns into over-training. If you're over-reaching to the point that it's affecting your sleep, that shouldn't be done for no more than a week." - Ted Ryce on how much we should exercise so that we can still sleep well at night
"You gotta know your limits and you gotta understand these physiological processes that are trying to push your behavior in certain ways. You gotta do things for you that can become a lifestyle. When you do that, everything becomes easier." - Ted Ryce on why changing habits can turn around our lives for the better
"We are not designed to go without sleep. It has a high cost and if you're struggling to get going, you better start looking into your nighttime ritual." - Ted Ryce on the importance of sleep
"There is a solution to every problem. It may not be the solution that you want, it may not be the solution that you were hoping for, but there is a solution to every single problem. And in a world where we have so much access to information and there's 7 billion people on this planet, you are not alone and someone has figured it out. The solution is out there; never give up and never stop searching." - Ted Ryce's mantra for when he's going through a difficult time.

Maybe you want to start something, but you're too afraid. However, there will never be a 'right' time and you just have to take the leap. You may fall on your face many times, but that's okay. That's part of the journey. - Ali Reti

Power Quotes From The Show
"Fitness and nutrition are both very important, but there are so many different aspects to our lives such as our relationships, home life, or work. So, if those things not going well and we're not happy, then everything else will suffer." - Ali Reti
"I believe that our intuition will always guide us to exactly where we need to be." - Ali Reti
"I cope with anxious thoughts about the unknown by telling myself that if it's not this, then it's something better. I trust that if this is not what I'm supposed to be doing, then I can't even fathom how amazing my life will be with my next decision." - Ali Reti
"As humans, we're meant to collaborate and go through experiences together. Whatever you're experiencing right now, you're not actually meant to go through it alone. Know that and be brave by reaching out to someone for help." - Ali Reti
"When you put 'good' out into the world, that comes back to you. When you give to others, you have no idea how that will come back, but it will certainly impact your life." - Ali Reti
A recovering perfectionist, Ali Reti is intimately familiar with how losing sight of the forest for the trees can cause crippling stress and anxiety on a regular basis. She’s come to realize that exercise—particularly the kind RetiFit prescribes—is the ultimate game-changer when it comes to loosening the grip that negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors have on our everyday lives. Ali has dedicated her career to inspiring healthy behavior change in others through exercise and fitness.
Through her parent's entrepreneurial successes and failures, Ali learned first-hand that the best way to make a living is by first making a genuine life. For her, the center of that genuine life is wellness education and fitness services. Ali's professional experiences over the past 10 years have reinforced her commitment to progressing in life highlighting wellness and fitness—she loves it, she's good at it, and most importantly, she's seen it help people and change lives, time and time again. Around the world, and in-person in Boulder, CO, RetiFit clients are empowered by the companies results-oriented commitment to be a catalyst for worldwide social change and individual healthy behavior change.
As a Certified Group Exercise Instructor (Les Mills, MOSSA), Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), and Precision Nutrition Coach, Ali has helped thousands of clients progress toward a healthier version of themselves. Through RetiFit, Ali can’t wait to get in front of audiences around the world and share her energy and passion in demonstrating to others how committing to and choosing progress over perfection can lead to realized dreams and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.

201 Michael Gervais: Finding Mastery
00:28:34
An authentic expression of oneself is right at the center of what mastery looks like and feels like. That is available to all of us, but it requires an inward journey. There's a real journey that's required to get to the core insights of what makes you 'you.' Fulfillment, peace, happiness, and high performance all happen in the present moment. - Dr. Michael Gervais

Power Quotes From The Show
“The work is not to avoid stress. The work is to ask and understand, ‘How do I stop creating stress that is not needed and how do I facilitate the right amount of stress so that I can create adaptations?’ “-@michaelgervais of @CompetetoCreate http://bit.ly/wfpodcast
"The new currency is attention. Today we are aware that multitasking doesn't exist and it's actually called 'cognitive shifting.' When we shift cognitively from one thought or activity to another, there's cost to it. There's a cost of time and a cost of depth. So, multitasking is a symptom of wanting to do a lot in life. Being busy used to be a badge of honor but it's no longer like that. When we say we're busy, it doesn't mean that we're in high demand and we're doing good work; it means that we're not organizing our life purpose well enough and we haven't figured out how to have dignity and regard for the way we spend our time as far as quality and quantity." - Dr. Michael Gervais
"The old wealth was having a big car, nice watch, and getting a lot of attention, but the new wealth today is not that. The new wealth is the output of the quality of the inner experience. Today, people are deeply committed to exploring the nuances of their talents." - Dr. Michael Gervais
"The idea is not to escape stress but to understand how we create it and how we work with it. No one is going to get good at anything without a little stress. Stress is really about change and eventual adaptation. So, what we're really looking for is the ability to trust ourselves in the present moment so that we can be present enough to embrace the unpredictable, unfolding unknown which is always right now. That's not easy to do; especially when we have this internal noise, self-dialogue, and meaning-making machine of our mind that's often times undisciplined because it's untrained." - Dr. Michael Gervais
"If the new currency is attention, there is no 'extra.' Attention is what allows us to come back to the present moment and we need the mental skills to be able to do that. Therefore, there is no time for anything 'extra' because there's always an option to do more and I think many of us have come to be based this way based on the Industrial Revolution and we have this intense pride of work. This idea that we always have to be working hard around the clock has migrated across several generations. We've come to believe that we need to do more in order to be more. We can do all we want, but it will never provide what it feels like to be 'you.' " - Dr. Michael Gervais
Co-founder of Compete to Create, a licensed psychologist and industry visionary, Dr.Michael Gervais focuses most of his time on people at the "top of their game," from the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and NBA players to Olympians, military personnel, and corporate leaders. Spending years in the trenches of high-stakes circumstances, Gervais has developed clarity for the tools that allow people to "thrive under pressure." Gervais is a published, peer-reviewed author and a nationally recognized speaker on issues related to high performance for those who excel on the largest stages in the world.
He is also the host of Finding Mastery, a podcast that takes you inside the rugged and high-stakes environments of those on the path of mastery to explore how they train minds to be at their very best. Gervais unpacks and decodes each guest’s journey, psychological framework and mindset skills and practices

Tina Anderson | Probiotic Myths: How Spore-Based Science Radically Transforms Gut Health For Families
01:05:59
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 658
Are your probiotics helping you heal your gut or are you just wasting your money?
Tina Anderson, Co-Founder of Just Thrive, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 658, to explain why most probiotics are not real probiotics, how spore-based probiotics heal the gut microbiome, why gut health is essential for your mental health and brain function, and what the healing protocol for the gut consists of.
"99.99% of probiotics die by the time they get to the intestines. If a probiotic needs to be refrigerated in order to stay alive, it wouldn't even survive on the store shelf which means it could never survive your body temperature. Spore-based probiotic has this endospore shell around itself which allows it to be a very hardy organism and survive the journey from the mouth through the gastric system into the intestines." - Tina Anderson
20% Off Just Thrive Probiotics
There are hundreds of brands of probiotics on the market, but as you’ve probably already discovered, they are not all equal.
Just Thrive® is the first 100% spore-forming probiotic and antioxidant supplement that arrives 100% alive to your intestines that's available in the retail market.
Just Thrive® contains a patented strain called Bacillus Indicus HU36® – bacillus strains are abundant environmental organisms that are a normal part of the human microflora.
This strain, Bacillus Indicus HU36®, produces antioxidants/ carotenoids (the nutrients that give red peppers and tomatoes their color) in your intestines where they can be best absorbed by the body, making it one of the most absorbable forms of antioxidants on the market. These spores have been successfully used to enhance digestive health for more than 50 years!

"We have to remember that bacteria is our friend. Less than 1% of bacteria is actually harmful. The overwhelming majority of bacteria is so beneficial, if not critical for our overall health." - Tina Anderson
Gut-Brain Connection
"The vagus nerve connects from the brainstem down to our intestines. The brain is sending signals to the gut and the gut is sending signals to the brain. Many neurotransmitters are produced in our gut. 90% of our serotonin is produced in our gut, and GABA and dopamine are produced in our gut as well. So there is a total connection between the gut and the brain and the brain and the gut."- Tina Anderson
Most Probiotics Are Not Real Probiotics
"The overwhelming majority of probiotics on the market are dying by the time they hit the intestines because the stomach acid is killing it. And so we're getting dead bacteria. We could call them metabolic response modifiers but they're not probiotics. They may provide some symptomatic relief but they're not making a true change in the microbiome." - Tina Anderson
Tina Anderson worked in the pharmaceutical field for 15 years. Together with their family, they had built thriving careers.
But, while successful, their careers were not feeding their passion for natural health and well-being.
Just Thrive Co-founder and CEO is available to talk about following your passion (she left a career as an attorney in the pharmaceutical industry to launch Just Thrive), living with gratitude, and the critical importance of gut health and immune support.
177 Dr. Cortney Warren - Honest Liars: The Psychology of Self-Deception
00:52:08
Change is difficult and terrifying in general. To make a huge, dramatic shift in your life is terrifying because what you do is so based on your identity and that's probably the hardest part about that experience. There's more to it than just quitting a job and starting something new; it's about answering the question, "Who am I now?" It's all about the identity and the most difficult fear to overcome is regret. - Dr. Cortney Warren
Doesn't it drive you crazy to not know why events, whether good or bad, happen in life?
Well, here's the answer: just don't even think about it because we don't know why things happen and we never will. It's actually better for us if we just accept something and move on by focusing on our present reality.
In Wellness Force Radio episode 177, Clinical Psychologist, Researcher, TEDx Talk Speaker, and Author of Lies We Tell Ourselves: The Psychology of Self-Deception, Dr. Cortney Warren will share why the only certainty in life is change, how to observe and accept yourself without judgement, and how you can develop the psychological strength to change your life despite feelings of fear.
By the end of this episode, you will be able to uncover which of your thoughts are actually lies in order to end self-deception once and for all.
When you are ready for change,you are ready to grow.
Humans are excellent liars. We don’t like to think of ourselves as capable of lying; it hurts us too much to admit. So we lie to ourselves about that, too. As a clinical psychologist, I am regularly confronted with the brutal truth that we all lie. I am not talking about deliberate, bold-faced lying. No, this type of dishonesty is far harder to detect and admit. It is the kind of lying that comes from not being psychologically strong enough to be honest with ourselves about who we are. And I believe that it is our biggest obstacle to living a fulfilling life. I wrote this book for anyone interested in becoming more honest. In it, I present a range of self-deceptive examples couched in psychological theory to help us explore ourselves. Although it is a relatively short book—indended to be read in about an hour—I hope that the content provokes deep thought. For only when we are honest about who we really are, do we have the opportunity to change.
Listen To Episode 177 As Dr. Cortney Warren Uncovers:
What the terms "honest liars" and self-deception mean to her as well as why it's vital that you don't let your emotions manifest within yourself.
The choice that you have to make: Not change at all because you're afraid of what it will cost you or actually do something different.
A healthy way that you can rebound from painful experiences and external tragedies.
Why therapy is not only a tool but a gift that can help you with your struggles.
How you can begin to better understand yourself by taking the time to look at your childhood.
In her clinical experience - how men and women compare and differ when it comes to feeling emotions such as sadness or anger.
Analyzing cultural messages and why standards about emotion aren't right at all when it comes to what's appropriate for the individual.
Why she decided to leave her academic profession for a different career path.
How people develop the psychological strength to change their lives even though it might be scary.
Why it's so difficult to overcome regret.
The importance of becoming self-aware and observing yourself without judgment in order to confront your thoughts and behaviors.
Why writing down your personal observations of yourself can be so beneficial for your emotional wellness and to help you stop lying to yourself about who you are.
Addictions to technology and how you can improve your relationship with your phone.
How she uses yoga breathing and progressive muscle relaxation to help her patients.
Designing your home and work environment to avoid any stimuli that will trigger a response.
The power of systematic desensitization and how it helps improve cognitive behavior.
How you can become more honest yourself now and forever by beginning to challenge the lies that you tell yourself every day.
The lies that adolescents tell themselves about who they are and their appearance.
How you can analyze and improve your binge eating habits.
Her own revelation that she needed to let go of her addiction to perfection.
Power Quotes From The Show
"The biggest predictor of change is misery. Someone is more likely going to change when they can't stand living their life the way it is today. That's when people are ready to change their lives because what they're doing now is not fulfilling." - Dr. Cortney Warren
"We need to stop asking why bad things happen. We don't even know why and you just can't know nor do you necessarily need to know. What you need to know is that this is your reality today. So, what are you going to do with it?" - Dr. Cortney Warren
"Therapy is a gift. Therapy is indicative of you being brave and willing to look at yourself on a more deeper, internal level. That takes a tremendous amount of courage because it's much easier to go ahead and just avoid it." - Dr. Cortney Warren
"Just allow yourself to pause. When you're in the midst of a strong, emotional experience, it is the worst time ever for you to make any big-time decisions. If you act out in the moment based on your emotions, you're denying yourself the opportunity to learn more about yourself." - Dr. Cortney Warren
"Start to think of your life as a big experiment and you are the scientist. Say to yourself, "I'm going to try something different and I'm going to see what I learn about myself in the process." How does it feel to be without your phone for example? Are you fine or is it incredibly uncomfortable? See this as a self-awareness process without any negativity or judgment." - Dr. Cortney Warren
As the child of two college professors, Dr. Cortney Warren was raised in an academic environment. In addition to attaining a formal education in the classroom, she traveled extensively, getting a “real-world” education.
Before the age of twenty, Cortney had lived in Australia and Argentina and traveled throughout Central America, South America, Russia, Scandinavia, and Western Europe. Exposed to a diversity of cultures and lifestyles from an early age, she was intrigued by the ways cultural and environmental conditions affected the psychological well-being of individuals, groups, and even entire societies.
Her interest in psychology and issues of cultural diversity took academic shape as an undergraduate at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. Under the exceptional mentorship of Drs. Jaine Strauss (Macalester College) and Nancy C. Raymond (University of Minnesota), Cortney developed a strong interest in the cultural components of eating disorders and undertook supporting research and clinical activities.
Through her formal and informal learning experiences, Cortney saw the ways in which we lie to ourselves on a daily basis and the danger that it posed to our emotional well-being. Helping people understand themselves and see their own self-deception became a fundamental part of her clinical practice, research, teaching, and personal way of life.

Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host and Wellness Force Media CEO, Josh Trent, shares how to find your niche, and what do not and avoid if you want to become a spiritual coach.
Today's Question
Arpi: I'm just starting my business and like to learn about how spiritual coaches, emerging coaches can identify their specific niche and understand how they can help people.I'm very interested in manifestation, in inner child healing, in working with the feminine energy, also with money manifestation, removing money blocks. But I feel like emerging spiritual teachers, they need a lot of time and experimentation to understand the path that want to take.

[05:10] Intro
This is Wellness + Wisdom, the podcast where we gather, apply and most importantly y'all embody the knowledge and information is out there that we are wanting to be of service to others for, mainly to ourselves.
Look, you cannot be of service to else unless you are holding up a lantern that shines light on you. This podcast focuses on the 5 sides of you, the 5 sides of yourself, that we call the wellness pentagon. And these are the sides that we're either starving or we're nourishing.
Starting at the is your physical self and the walls of your emotional and mental self. And also very importantly, your financial and your spiritual self.
This wellness pentagon is something that constantly fascinates me. And in this AMA, we're talking about a deep, deep question for many people, probably millions of people across the world.
[07:45] A Simple Guide to Becoming A Spiritual Coach

That's where you can leave a question for myself and for Mar to go back and forth and pull from 20 plus years, 30 plus years combined of the wisdom and the life experience and the compassion and understanding that today's question is all about.
So today's question is from someone on Instagram. This is a very unique question. And the way she asked it was quite humble, actually. I can tell that in her voice, she is on the youthful side and just looking for direction in the world. And aren't we all?
But at many stages of the game, I think it's really important to know that if you ask from a pure heart, if you ask from a really positive intention, where it's not just about you, it's really about being service to others, the right wisdom will come.
So let's hear from our first question that we've had in a couple weeks actually, which is really refreshing to have.
So we got a message from Arpi. She's from Armenia And she actually wants to know her niche as a spiritual coach which is super interesting so can't wait to hear her question. Armenia, amazing.
Hello, I'm Arpi from Armenia and I am a beginner transformation and spiritual coach. I'm just starting my business and like to learn about how spiritual coaches, emerging coaches can identify their specific niche and understand how they can help people.
Of course it needs a lot of work with different coaches, experimenting and trying different new things. But I would also like to learn from other people's experiences of how exactly they understood which specific direction to take.
And for example in my case I'm very interested in manifestation, in inner child healing, in working with the feminine energy, also with money manifestation, removing money blocks. But I feel like emerging spiritual teachers, they need a lot of time and experimentation to understand the path that want to take. So if you would consider this as an interesting topic to discuss with someone, I would absolutely love to hear.
I love this because in the question, did you notice this Mar? In her question, she actually answered her own question. So what was really beautiful and humble about your question that you had said, I want these things.
I want to be able to earn a living on manifestation and inner child healing and money blocks and identifying my niche as a spiritual coach. And there's so much to unpack here, but it's so rad because when you ask the question, you ended it by saying, and I know that it takes time.
And I know that it takes time. And that is actually what I want to share with you today. You know, true wisdom, I believe, to where you can actually be compensated for it and paid for it, is when you're in the mastery process yourself, right?
True wisdom is this blending of your life experience and for yourself and others as you integrate, and that is the key, as you integrate knowledge and information to provide healing and empowerment to others, especially those who you want to serve and who may pay you for that service.
So let's go over that again, right, as a starting place.
True wisdom is this blending of your own life experience and compassionate understanding of who you are as you integrate all that you're getting, all the information, all the knowledge, as you start to synthesize and integrate this so that it's actually embodied in your nervous system in your unconscious and in the way that you speak, it really does take time.
Now what I want to say is really interesting here because I don't know that we must make money to pay rent, to pay the mortgage, to buy food, whatever it is.
So money is this vehicle of energy that I used to really misunderstand. I mean, there was a time when I would say things like, ''Rich people are assholes." or ''Money is evil." But I realized that my money blocks were created by my parents.' God loved them.
I love you, mom and dad, like you did the best you could, but that was actually handed down to them by their parents' parents. Alan Watts has a term that he calls, it's all wretch and no vomit.
So everybody teaches their children to raise children to raise their children with the same mindset. And so first and foremost, I celebrate you and I celebrate your question because this is the starting place of really amazing living. I mean, to really be alive is to do something you care about, right?
To be on purpose, to be in your passion. And so as a starting place, you answered the question yourself. How do you identify the niche that you should be coaching in? You first start with your own life experience.
What is the tangible value that you have yielded and provided to yourself by your own pain, by your own journey, and by your own understanding of who you are. Like that's first and foremost, right?
And Mar, I'm sure you can relate. You see these like 20-year-old life coaches. And it's no knock on them because intention is pure and a lot of them are master marketers and they know exactly what to say and how to use Instagram write the right nurture sequence, blah, blah, blah.
But at some point, and I heard Michael Beckwith talk about this once actually, He said if somebody isn't actually embodied in the subject in which they speak, it'll eventually burn to the ground.
In other words, you can have great marketing and you can be a great speaker find your niche and have a great lead magnet and you can understand how to speak about what it is you're teaching, but if you yourself haven't learned it, like really, really learned it, it doesn't mean you have to fall to the floor every night because you're in so much pain and that's your gift to the world, although it can be.
There are many roads to get to the summit and then once you get to that summit you're going to go to the next one. But the only way you can, in my opinion, be in integrity and charge for a service, especially in spiritual coaching, is to be a product of that which you're seeking and combine your life experience of who you are, how much value and awareness, essentially consciousness you can bring to your client, and the way you start with that is with you.
So my question for you would be, if I was coaching you, I would say, okay, you wanna find your niche, great. Write down on a piece of paper, what are 20 things that you deeply you are in the process of embodying? You, yourself. What are 20 things that you know you are in the process of embodying?
Relational dynamics, loving yourself, your own money mindset, your own money game. There are so many things that are being called forth to be actualized in you and it is only on that journey. Only on that journey that you're going to be able to have somebody pay you for the wisdom that you're gonna bring them.
ow just let that sit for a minute because it kind of flies in the face of fake it till you make it, right? There's this whole adage out there in the marketing world of fake it till you make it. I actually love something else. I love being it until you see it.
I'll give credit to my mentor and old friend Dr. Jade Teta, he taught me that. And I love it because Mar, feel into this, right? And I'll pause and get your take on something and then I'll go right back to the question because there's many layers we're unpeeling here.
When you hear the phrase, Mar, fake it until you make it, Or you hear the phrase, be it until you see it. Which one resonates with you and why?

072 David Zappasodi: Immovable Heart Unstoppable Mind
01:16:32
Can a lack of integrity derail weight loss? What does the avoidance and aggression cycle mean for those on the path of better health?
Welcome to a very special encore episode for this week's show!
Today's special guest, David Zappasodi, comes on the show to discuss his powerful book, Immovable Heart Unstoppable Mind. Today’s show is the perfect fit for us, because we’re talking about the most important cornerstone for any wellness program, and that is mindset.
David has a degree in Exercise Physiology from West Chester University of Pennsylvania. In his twenty years in the health and fitness industry, David has been a personal trainer, metabolic typing practitioner, boot-camp instructor, martial arts teacher, and public speaker on healthy living. He also founded a functional fitness and nutrition center in San Diego, and operated it for 9 years, during which time he was extensively featured on Fox News, KUSI TV News, and on network and local television and radio programs throughout California.

More important than any of his credentials, however, David has a deep faith in the beauty and greatness of humanity, and is very determined to help others to see and embody the greatness within themselves. Through this faith and determination, he has inspired and guided many people to transform their lives throughout his career.
David is the international best selling author of Immovable Heart Unstoppable Mind - A personal guide to the 6 essential practices for living a healthy and fulfilling life.
6 Essential Practices For Living A Healthy & Fulfilling Life
Listen as David uncovers how over 20 years of coaching experience lead him to create The most powerful practices for a healthy and fulfilling life, including:
Generosity - Helps us to let go of the past and release obstructions without focusing on them. Generosity makes our goals more powerful by giving them a greater purpose than our own self interest, and brings greater abundance into our lives.
Integrity - Helps us to not create new obstructions that impede our progress. It allows us to learn lessons about the intensity and frequency of our vicious cycles, and the negative consequences that we experience because of them. It also brings more intimacy and connection into our lives.
Patience - Helps us to not take our current obstructions and blow them out of proportion, making them even bigger barriers to progress. In fact,lack of patience does the opposite of progress– it turns our mountains into molehills. Brings more growth and transformation into our lives.
Inspired Action - Helps us to cultivate more of what we really want in our lives, rather than trying to move us away from what we don't want. It also brings more joy and fulfillment into our lives.
Mindfulness - Helps to free us from attachments that keep us feeling stuck in life. It is the inner essence and the common thread of all of the previous practices, and as necessary in order for them to be powerful and effective. It also allows us to experience true freedom.
Commitment - It is the outer container that gives shape and direction to all the previous practices. It also gives us the ability to stick with the other practices long enough for them to blossom and have a noticeable effect on our lives.

336 Joe Sheehey: The Truth About Cannabidiol's Impact On Mind, Body, & Spirit
01:03:43
"Before trying CBD, I had been taking some medications for my anxiety and while I've had it for most of my life, my anxiety was getting really bad. So, when I first put the CBD tincture underneath my tongue, I immediately noticed some amazing calming properties; I was sleeping and recovering really well; well enough that I didn't have to take my medication anymore." - Joe Sheehey
What can cannabinoids do for your pain management, digestion, sleep, or mood?
CEO and Co-Founder of Cured Nutrition, Joe Sheehey, shares the healing power of cannabidiol on the mind, body, and spirit; explains what sets Cured Nutrition apart from other CBD companies and what red flags to look out for, and breaks down the differences between CBD, THC, CBG, CBN, and marijuana.

Why it's important to know if your CBD product's hemp has been grown in healthy land to avoid toxic metals.
Their due diligence and quality control that is very rigorous to ensure their product has been built on a foundation of true integrity and love for nature and its healing potential.
Their background story, core mission, and the message behind their triangle logo.
"Nature is powerful. Nature does have healing properties. CBD, cannabinoids, and hemp are nature. "There's a due diligence and quality control that we have implemented since Day One that has been rigorous because I want to know that the foundation that that company has been built is one with true integrity and love for nature and its healing potential. If it's not, then that gets people to begin to question nature as a whole." - Joe Sheehey
Differences Between Hemp & Marijuana
"To start, the most important thing to know is that when we say, 'hemp,' or 'marijuana,' what we're talking about is cannabis. They're both of the same genome, but the differentiator between the two is hemp has less than 0.3% THC and marijuana has greater than 0.3% THC. That's really the only differentiator between the two but what also needs to be known is the hemp plant has so many uses just outside of cannabinoid extracts." - Joe Sheehey
Quality Control For Full Spectrum Cannabinoid Products
"There are over 80 different cannabinoids in the cannabis plant and each one from CBD to CBG for gut health to CBN for sleep has its own therapeutic benefits but when you combine all of them, you get a full spectrum or a full array of cannabinoids and that packs a lot stronger punch than just one cannabinoid. Also, if you look at a product and it says, 'CBD only,' go to their website and look at their quality control information. If they aren't publicly sharing their quality control test results to the public, that's a red flag right there." - Joe Sheehey
Joe Sheehey, a former NASA-contributing aerospace engineer and nationally distinguished physique competitor, is now the Co-Founder and CEO of the leading cannabinoid wellness brand, Cured Nutrition. After decades governed by a strict set of rules and adherence to socially-acceptable paths, Joseph left a life of comfort to create one of true impact in this world. Though, at the time, he didn’t yet know how far this pursuit would take him.
Finding His True Purpose
The same day he left corporate America, he found himself sitting in a therapist’s office where he soon awoke to the reality that the only permission he was searching for was that which he had been neglecting to give to himself. In that moment, he vowed to live only in boundless possibility. He has re-dedicated his life to elevating consciousness on all fronts that, as a united human collective, breathe genuine happiness, health, and fulfillment.
A Radical Sense Of Self-Actualization
Freckled with periods of anxiety, depression and suicidal attempts, his path has been far from the most glamorous; but through years of resilience, perseverance, and renewed self-awareness, his journey shows triumph through every tribulation. Now, his mission is to guide others towards this radical sense of self-actualization.

Why the industry is so focused on the Ketogenic diet
How to make a smooth transition into Ketosis and avoid the "Keto Flu"
Top 3 Takeaways From The Episode
We develop certain eating habits as children that can stay with us as we age. Although it's difficult to break the cycle of unhealthy eating, we can learn to enjoy fueling our body in a more nutritious way. Begin to focus on all of the benefits that come from living a healthy and energetic lifestyle. Keeping those thoughts front of mind will help us make better choices with our nutrition.
Developing more discipline will have a massive impact on what we accomplish in our lifetime. We can begin doing this with small actionable steps every day. Studies have shown that simply making our bed each morning causes us to be 4-5 times more likely to achieve other daily goals. Start by taking 1 simple action in any area of life where you want to progress. This will build the momentum necessary for massive improvement.
The first step to a successful Ketogenic diet is giving the body time to adapt to that style of eating. This transition into Ketosis can generally take between 30-60 days. Once the body is used to running on ketones, we can begin experimenting with the different amounts and types of carbs we consume to help us discover what is optimal for our unique body.

Other stories Jesse could have let himself believe and live by about his father but he didn't and how he did that.
Deeply exploring what it is about the human psyche that allows us to create and believe in all these false stories and narratives.
[29:30] Mindset Shift: "Is This Useful For Me?"
The fact that humans will do anything to create a connection even if it revolves around pain.
Questioning the story in your mind and why you should stop asking what is true but rather what is useful.
The powerful fact that only you can decide whether a thought or a story is serving you or not.
His past marriage and his want to financially help provide for his ex-wife after their divorce by giving her the money when he sold his business.
What it was like for Jesse to start over from zero at 40 years old.
How to let go of our fear of 'death' in our minds.
Power Quotes From The Show
Mind Vitamins & Non-Resistant Flow
“Time behaves very differently when you're operating in a vacuum of judgment. When you are completely free of the past and free of the future, and you are filling this time in space with who and what you actually are…and being fully, really powerfully yourself. It is beyond cathartic and a restoration of your child-like qualities of being timeless." -Jesse Elder | The Art of Resiliency
Achieving Functional Mastery
"I'm hungry and I'll do whatever it takes to be around other people that I can learn from. In that way, my ego is extremely involved too. I'm not competitive with anybody and I don't see how it can be a useful frame. After a while you absorb so much information, you're constantly testing, and then before you know it you have a mastery that might have taken ten years of trial and error if you hadn't compressed it in a short amount of time. Calendars are irrelevant to success; all achievement is really an emotional journey of normalization." - Jesse Elder
How to be in Alignment with Universal Frequency
"While we're in this physical experience, we're here to observe and create. We create by feeling our emotions as they constantly act as a beacon of attraction, but also a way to give feedback. When we feel good, happy, and have that powerful sense of well-being - then we're in alignment with the universal frequency. When we don't feel good because of our perception or because of other people's influence that pulls our perception, it's just a sign that we've gotten away from who we really are." - Jesse Elder
Texas man, Entrepreneur, Action Philosopher, TimePiercer, Jesse Elder, self-described “Millionaire Mentor, an Improv Philosopher, former MMA fighter turned entrepreneur, and also the author of "The Upgraded Life”, rolled through Garberville yesterday, walking and filming himself giving a monologue on critical thinking.
He is an international life coach and a man with an abundant life mentality (check him out at jesseelder.com). He is all about upgrades and self-mastery. You will hear in this episode how Jesse started out as a little boy dedicated to Martial Arts, and by 20 yrs of age, he was traveling the world competing.
Then he opened his own martial arts school and sought out successful mentors to help him with the business side of things. He learned that his success wasn’t going to rely on how great of a martial artist he was, but on how well he related and connected with others.

Listen To Episode 669 As Josh Trent Answers Your Questions
[05:15] Intro
If you're joining us for the first time, this is a place that you can always trust.
We explore the self, the 5 sides of our self, the physical, the mental, the emotional, the spiritual, and the financial ways that we all signed up to master here on planet Earth.
If you're looking for a full-length guest episode, check out our Tuesday episodes. This is an AMA, an Ask Me Anything. Well, actually, it's Ask Me and it's Ask My Co-Pilot Mar Anything because we bring the masculine and feminine to these episodes because those exist in us, whether you like it or not, they're in you.
Can you relate to this? Have you been struggling with knowing either the masculine or the feminine portion of you? Have you been struggling with knowing 1 of these 5 sides of yourself? Have you been struggling with optimizing, with feeling good in your physical body?
Today's a really, really special deep dive into the mind, which is connected to the body because the body is the unconscious, the subconscious mind.
Mar, how are you doing today? What is fresh for you in your world? I think the freshest thing is my neck pain because I got tumbled in the waves the other day and I just didn't listen to my body because it already happened once last week.
And then I was like, oh, I'm ready to go in the water again, in the ocean. And I got tumbled again and my neck was completely blocked. So it's a good reminder for me to slow down and just listen to my body again.
Yeah, that's a good theme for today's I had, you know those feelings you get, y'all can relate to this, you know when you're about to get sick.
And so instead of pushing the needle harder and just working through the sickness, which I used to do, I actually just slowed down and I took time and I rescheduled calls and I just took it upon myself to not make other people's things my problem.
And you know what? I didn't get sick, knock on wood. It felt good. I actually caught myself where in the past I probably would have made myself sick.
So here we go, the walking embodiment of the feminine energy which I believe feminine energy is about exploration. It's about enjoying the process.
There are so many buildings and bridges and skyscrapers that are built in this world from a masculine perspective. But I wonder, like, did they actually enjoy building them? Because what are we building? What are we doing just for the sake of doing it and completing it if we're not enjoying the ride?
And that's really a big thing that I'm going to be focusing on for the rest of my life and you all get to focus on this too.
Look, if you're looking for anything that can optimize your physical body, head over to joshdren.com forward slash store. I've cut out the middleman. I've made stuff way cheaper than Amazon. You can triple-check, it's true.
I basically cut out the fat. So anything at all that you are taking, including one of the things that we had our audience member ask us today. We have a perfect question from Audra Jackson on Instagram.
I don't care if it's Shilajit, if it's Ormus, if it's toothpaste, if it's skincare, EMF blocking, nutrition, gut health, or anything and everything from your head to your toes. Go over to JoshTrent.com/Store.
Remember that link too, by the way, because instead of going to Amazon and getting charged way more money, you can just go and get it for much cheaper. It's essentially how we pay for the show, right? We don't charge for this content.
We never, ever, ever will charge for this content because I believe that people in very economically depressed areas still and always do deserve the ability to uplevel their life and to change their life and to not have to pay for things all the time y'all.
So that's my promise to you, it'll always be free. All that I ask is something that I get reminded of every day, every freaking day, and that is, where am I still unconscious? Where in my life am I shown by my woman, my children, my business, my friends, or God that I'm still in the dark about?
What are the unconscious ways of Josh? And by the way, what are the unconscious ways of you that are looking for illumination, that are wanting to become conscious?
[10:10] Conscious Unconscious Integration
Let us know what is something that you're super confused by that you want more clarity on? Audra is asking a really powerful question today.
And before we get to the masculine-feminine perspective on this, obviously I'm gonna play Audra's question. So let's play Audra's question right now and see where this goes.
Hi, thank you for having me on your show. So I'd like to ask if I change from MANNA to MANNA Gold, what benefits might I notice? Thank you.
Okay, short and sweet and it opened up Pandora's box y'all so buckle up, buckle up because you know at the beginning of this podcast as always I talked about these 5 sides of self and I believe that unless we are very clean in our physical self, unless we're if we're not nourishing our physical body, it is almost impossible to tend to the other 4 sides of us.
And yes, any time that 1 of these 5 sides of our self is pulling chi or pulling energy from another part, it's going to cause an existential load.
There's going to be a pregnenolone steal. There's going to be stress. There's going to be hardship. Yet, look, we're a human being, right? So if we're a soul in a body, then the soul cannot express itself if the body is dirty, If the body's in pain, if the body is struggling.
So first and foremost, Audra, the question that you ask is, well, what would I receive? What will I get? What's the upgrade or what's the optimization that I'll get when I go from MANNA, which is Shilajit and Ormus, and we'll go over some of the benefits there.
To the MANNA Gold, which is the nano gold. And there's a lot of research and a lot of benefits that I'll describe before we get to the physical.
So I do wanna say this is a physically focused AMA, yet really what we're talking about here, especially when it comes to the gold, is a concept called superconducting.
And y'all know on the back of a stereo, especially in really expensive stereos, like a Harman Kardon or some of the really expensive stereos that are in La Jolla, California, or just any rich city, they have gold connectors on the back. Now, why is that?
Gold is one of the highest-level superconductors for electricity on the planet. Gold is a very, very sought-after precious, precious metal. Is gold a metal? I think it is, right?
It's different than silver though gold is actually something that our body in small amounts can absorb and there are many benefits to this. And so the primary thing that I'll share that we'll dive into the deep end on here, Audra, is gold is a superconductor.
And so when you absorb the nano gold or the nanoparticles of gold in the upgraded mana, you are going to get a higher level of what is called conscious and unconscious integration. Now, what exactly is that? And why is that important for you and for all of us?
Well, as I said in the beginning, I get reminded all the time of ways that I am unconscious, but how am I reminded?
One could say that it's my spiritual quest, that it's my truth-seeking, that I'm just focused every single day, which I am some days more than others, on what are the ways that I don't even know that I don't know something about the way I project onto someone else, the way I'm not loving, how my fears are blocking me, how my insecurities are blocking me, and essentially how do I just live the most badass, thriving, juicy, amazing life?
Well, the only way I can do that is by taking in what you're about to hear from a world-renowned psychotherapist and his name is Jung.
Now, if you haven't heard of Carl Jung, you must, must listen to some of Carl Jung's lectures for free on YouTube.
Jung said, until you make the unconscious conscious, it'll rule your life and you will call it fate. So just let that land for a minute.
This is somebody who worked with people for decades and many of our contemporary writers and therapists have pulled from Jung's work for 50 years or more. And so I'll say it again, right?
Jung said, until you make the unconscious conscious, it'll rule your life and you will call it fate. So think about the ways in which you've been in relationships that are just the same shit, different day.
You've been blocked financially. You're in a job that you hate. Your body is not how you want it. You're carrying extra weight. You're having stress from parental trauma or societal trauma. Essentially, you just feel blocked but you don't know how to get through it...
026 Julianna Raye: A Personal Trainer For Your Mind
00:48:35
Today on the show is one of the most sought after mindfulness trainers in the world, Julianna Raye. After training individuals and groups for over 15 years, Julianna brings her expertise and gifts to share with Wellness Force Radio.
I've been so pumped to be able to bring on a guest like Julianna that not only is a master at empowering others to change their thinking, but most importantly, to change their behavior through the power of mindfulness and meditation.
Numerous scientific studies have shown clear and wide ranging benefits of mindfulness including stress and anxiety reduction, strengthened immune system, heightened EI and creativity to name just a few.
In fact, Julianna herself was drawn to mindfulness 18 years ago, to manage debilitating anxiety. With over 90 weeks of immersive silent retreat training in both mindfulness and zen in addition to her daily practice, Julianna has racked up 12,000 plus hours of formal practice time, rewiring her brain and creating a new normal for herself. This enables her to truly be of service to her clients.
Currently, Julianna is developing onsite and online mindfulness training for enterprise clients and consumers as well as delivering keynotes, privately coaching executives in sales and leadership, performance professionals, TV personalities, entrepreneurs engaged in personal growth, and group training company leaders interested in preventative health care and enhancing the work environment, through mindfulness meditation.
In a recent study at UCLA comparing long-term meditators’ brains with non-meditators, the results of Julianna’s MRI led to interviews on ABC, Globo and Reuters news outlets, about the benefits of Mindfulness practice. Using the system of Basic Mindfulness, which has been researched at Carnegie Mellon, the University of Vermont, and Harvard Medical Center (with breakthrough results), Julianna’s emphasis is on helping clients find those specific strategies most relevant for their life and professional environment.
As an expert in the system, Julianna teaches clients how to strategically implement practice for specific challenges and practice in action, leading to accelerated growth, giving clients a way to develop skills on the go and providing invaluable tools for self empowerment.
Just as a physical trainer improves your workout, working with a mindfulness meditation trainer deepens and strengthens your skills, providing the necessary perspective, feedback and support so you maximize the potential of your practice.
Mindfulness provides an excellent complement to any other self-healing work you may be doing. In fact, your practice will enhance all the activities of your life.

Paul Levy | Wetiko: Healing The Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World + Breaking Free From Collective Mass Psychosis
01:31:48
We are embodied reflections of each other. And what that means is that there’s no separate self. When you begin to see that, you’ll see through the imagination.
Wetiko makes us think that we exist in a way that we don’t. It makes us think that we exist as a reference point in space and time, as a separate self, and as soon as we see ourselves in that way, we then think the world is objective, separate from us. - Paul Levy

In this episode, Josh Trent meets Paul Levy, author of the book Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World and founder of the Awaken In The Dream community, to dive deep into what causes mass psychosis in our society, how we can escape the collective dream, and why awareness is the ultimate antidote to the mind virus.
How is the Wetiko mind virus governing our lives and the world, and what is the most efficient remedy to awaken from the collective dream?
Join Paul and Josh as they dive deep into Wetiko. Learn how to recognize Wetiko, what to do to free yourself from it, and how it impacts society and manifests in our day-to-day lives.
His realization that the evil he received from his father was manifesting through the system in the psychiatric institution.
What happens when an evil cannibalistic spirit takes over people’s minds.
Trans-personal energy: Higher-dimensional energy that can possess us and keep us “asleep.”
How groups of people with power unwillingly become the instrument of trans-personal energy.
[21:00] Our True, Creative Nature VS Collective Psychosis
His practice to become familiar with his true nature to avoid being touched by evil.
What true nature is according to Paul and how it helps us with Wetiko.
Paul explains why nobody is immune to Wetiko.
Why a negative father is an archetype that exists in the collective unconscious, and how it relates to domination and objectification of Mother Nature.
Why it’s important to envision ourselves awakening.
What wellbeing means to Paul: Connecting with our creative agency and our true nature.
Power Quotes From The Show
The World Is A Reflection Of Our Inner World
"What’s happening externally in the world is reflecting what’s happening in the mind, and vice versa. With Wetiko, we all have a potential, when all of a sudden it becomes activated, it will set up this shadow government within our mind.
It will subsume the healthy parts of the psyche into its service. It will hijack the psyche. It will colonize our mind. It will dictate to the ego in such a way that we then become in service to it, to the point that we become possessed, we become taken over, we become instruments of our own enslavement. That’s exactly what’s happening in the world with totalitarianism." - Paul Levy
The Subjective Observation Of The World
"There is no such thing as an objective world. That’s just an idea in our head that the active observation of the world actually influences the world we’re observing. That’s the description of a dream.
What that means is that the active observation is creative. That’s the portal into this immense vast creative power that each one of us has, each and every moment in creating our experience." - Paul Levy
What Feeds The Wetiko Virus
"There is no Wetiko outside of us. If people hear about a mind virus and feel afraid, that feeling afraid, that is Wetiko. There’s nothing to feel afraid of because there is nothing there.
But if we cling to it and give it with reality, then we’re colluding with our own victimization, then we’re complicit with evil, then we’re investing in the reality of Wetiko, and there’s nobody else to blame but ourselves." - Paul Levy
Paul Levy, a pioneer in the field of spiritual emergence, is a wounded healer in private practice who helps others who are awakening to the dreamlike nature of reality. He established the Awaken In The Dream Community in Portland, Oregon.
Paul is an artist who is deeply influenced by C. G. Jung's work and has been a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner for over 35 years. For over two decades, he was the coordinator of the Portland PadmaSambhava Buddhist Center.
386 Mark Groves | Create More Love: How To Deal w/ Breakups, Boundaries, & Beyond
01:25:46
To me, an actual broken heart is a closed heart. An actual broken heart is one that isn't willing to open up again; it is protective, guarded, and walled which can be important for the healing aspect. If you don't have boundaries, if you've been walked on, if you've experienced trauma abuse, there actually is an important boundary that is the complete individualization of self that doesn't allow in anything as you repair. Then you build up some level of confidence, a relationship with self, and a capacity for self through different modalities such as therapy but then you gently walk back into the world protecting and preserving that wholeness. - Mark Groves

[31:00] Navigating Through Pain And Sadness
Why we need to redefine what a broken heart actually is and his own definition of it.

The more capacity he had after his breakup with Kylie as he breathed into the grief.

How he was able to step up and let his inner child rest as he, the adult, began to lead his life.

"Our own journey to healing, responsibility, and self is what heals the world. If you go within yourself, you become a leader, and you step fully into yourself then you are hereby a beacon of model behavior for other people. There's a saying that 'hurt people hurt people,' but also 'healed people heal people." - Mark Groves
The Child Can Rest, The Adult Is Here
"I had this beautiful meditation where I was like, 'The child can rest. The adult is here." I had reached this completion of this initiatory process of really becoming an adult and not letting the kid in me, who wanted to people please and was afraid of being laughed at or not acknowledged, get to me. I realized that those fears were not going to run my life or my relationships or anymore in how I communicate with others." - Mark Groves
Healthy Feedback In Relationships
"Some people say there's no such thing as healthy shame but I actually disagree. When you learn that a better behavior is available to you, you're going to experience healthy shame. Toxic shame is 'something is wrong with you.' Behavior is important but it's not attached to your worth so if you can allow yourself to open up to feedback from your partners and friends, you can begin to look at how you can be better. I see everything that my partner sees in me as an opportunity to improve as a human being and as a man." - Mark Groves

Listen To Episode 603 As Josh Trent Honors The Death of His Friend, Christian Oliver, and His Two Daughters
This is Wellness + Wisdom, the podcast where we learn to nourish all 5 sides of our Wellness Pentagon:
The physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial wellness that we all signed up to master here on planet Earth.
If you're like us, then you have a deep desire to live your life well, and in order to live our life well we must be intentional, committed, and pure of heart in our skillset development for the Arc of Wellness.
This is where we gather, apply, and most importantly embody the knowledge and information from those wise elders and teachers who came before us such that then we can choose to combine it with our own life experience that becomes our own earned and unique wisdom that we can share for long after we're gone.
Death As A Teacher: Honoring Christian Oliver
This is a really potent podcast because I know it's going to feed a part of you if you have ever gone through a grieving process, or lost a loved one, or lost someone unexpectedly, there is a healthy grieving process.
That healthy grieving process includes a sacred reminder of how we all get to choose to live and that is my intention of what I'm going to explore with you gently and also heartfelt today in this solocast...I'm sure you've seen the news that my brother Christian Oliver and his two daughters were tragically killed in a plane crash just days ago and I've been in grieving, in processing ever since I heard about the news.
Christian and I bonded so deeply about our work, lives, children, and women in our shared Vision Quest with Mark Tollefson and Tim Corcoran in 2022 in Santa Barbara, Quail Springs California.
We both shared a desire to have understanding and softness and integration of the feminine inside of us, and most importantly, to understand the women that we love.
It was a deep learning curve for both of us in this lifetime, and I could feel Christian's pain around his ex-wife, and even learning lessons with his current girlfriend where I also had my lessons with my lady as well...
The Reality of Choice
Because this is the reality of choice that we are all (every day) choosing to either feed our vitality and wellness or we are choosing to starve it.
Part of feeding our vitality is being present and in acceptance to recognize that we all must die.
I'm going through this grieving process when someone we love dies.
My friend Tim Corcoran of Purpose Mountain, with whom I've done (2) Vision Quests and, who has led me through so much of his own shared wisdom in quest said in an email recently:
"What can you learn from Christian's death? It immediately reminds me of how short and precious life is, and reminds me to live fully and unapologetically! To live my vision! To live this day as if it were my last, "Hoka Hey, today is a good day to die!" the old Lakota warriors would say.
Christian's last post on social media was a short one that said, "Let love rule. Wishing all of you the best for 2024!" How can we honor these last words? What does it mean to "let love rule" in your life?
For me, it invites me further into forgiveness (for both myself and others), self-care, discipline to do what is right, and courage to live my vision. What does it mean to live the best life possible in this new year of 2024 here on Earth? I believe that doing so truly honors our brother.
Pray for Christian, that his spirit can indeed travel back to the good, bright ancestors, right beside his two precious daughters.
Pray for Christian's family, especially his wife who I can only imagine must be going through an enormous process of grief right now.
Remember that prayer has real power and that your prayers truly make a difference to the living and the dead.
Pray for him the way you would want to be prayed for if you had passed."
So yes, death is not something that we need to ruminate on, but it is something that is a powerful ally to reflect on daily or weekly because it is this reminder that we all die that allows us to choose to fully live.
So this may or may not be the perfect place for you to start and to subscribe with Wellness + Wisdom.
I know that you saw the title and you're here with us for a reason, and that you already know today's podcast is about honoring a dear friend who has died and what lessons we all can learn from the way that he chose to live.
What Is Death, Really?
It may seem on one side of the coin that death is the removal of life or the absence of life.
I could sit here and try to wax poetic and use my intellect to describe what I think death is but we all know that science (and really our egoic mind) can't really describe it.
Because in the same way that science can't describe exactly why there's a burst of light when the egg in the womb of a mother is fertilized by the seed of a father, or why the SA node beats in the heart of us all...
...there is a divine mystery that has its own timeline, its own essence, and its own direction that we all must surrender to if we are to choose to live our lives well.
If we choose to fight against this divine mystery, we age faster, we suffer deeper, and we don't live our lives as well as we can... if we don't choose to surrender to God's will.
It's this (painful and difficult at times) surrender to the mystery of God and to the will of our creator, the being that created us and all things, that we can actually go through a personal process of grieving so that we can come out with our light on the other side of it all.
There is a deep sadness in death, and there is also paradoxically a deep well of gratitude that is created in all of our hearts when someone we love leaves the earth.
The message coming from my heart to share with you today is how death teaches us about generosity; how can we learn from the people who have died so that we can have generosity in our hearts, in the same way, they showed us was possible?

True story I wanted to share right away, because I realize it's a service to all of us, where we may tend to spiritually bypass or "rush to the lesson" without feeling the pain of learning.
I realized that I was recently (just a few days ago) trying to sit and record this podcast so that I could honestly stop feeling the pain in my heart and get right to the lesson of "why God has taken Christian and his two daughters from this earth?"
I realized it was my ego trying to run from my own grief and my own anger and sadness about the loss of my friend Christian.
So today I finally feel as ready as I can be to share; and not that I'm prepared to let go, but that I'm in the process of letting go.
Again, as Tim said in the very last post of his life on Christians's Instagram, the last resounding message he shared with us he said:
Christian, my brother it feels so surreal, and I can’t imagine the pain that the mother of your children is going through… I'm sending you and the family, my deepest, heartfelt love, and I know there’s nothing that I could say that would assuage the bereavement of those who love you, including me.
This is also very special because this podcast is being released on January 11, 2024, which is in numerology a designation of an angel number, so anytime you see three ones in a row...
The Angel Number 111
111 is often seen as a powerful and positive number that signifies alignment, new beginnings, and spiritual awakening, it is a message encouraging you to pay attention to your thoughts and focus on maintaining a positive mindset, even in the face of tragedy, what can we learn and how can we move forward using this special day?
The repetition of the number 1 three times suggests that our thoughts and intentions are heightened at this time.
According to numerology, the 111 angel number is a way for a guardian angel to get your attention, not for you to forget, but for you and I to forgive yourself or others.
The 111 means that these guardian angels are giving you the power to leave your past behind.
Christian and his daughters I believe are now guardian angels for those whom they would like to connect with.
And I would like to say, but the reality is, I do not know... none of us know what's beyond... that Christian is watching us now, looking over how we handle this loss and this grief.
And realize that Christian is there, and he is watching us and he's reminding us to live! He's reminding us to live in the way that he did with the ultimate generosity of his energy, time, and spirit.
Christian taught us to LIVE.
I was talking with my friend and Vision Quest guide Mark Tollefson, who has been a guest on the podcast, and in our conversation with tears, he shared with me wisdom of Carlos Castaneda:
Don’t Let The 4th Enemy In
Castaneda talks about the four enemies of the man of knowledge, for a person who lives an examined life and learns through various stages of personal awareness, connection, and ego dissolution.
He explains that a man of knowledge must overcome sequential challenges.
The first is fear, the second is clarity the third is power, and the fourth is old age, or death.
The ultimate adversary, according to Castaneda, is old age.
Christian's death has put a spotlight on my mortality and all of our mortality and the fact that we all die as a reminder to be honest about the way we are truly living.
The conclusive and harshest foe that inevitably confronts us all is old age and death.
Our potential for glory, the opportunity to embody completeness in the odyssey of what Castaneda calls this "knowledgeable individual" hinges on persisting through the challenges of aging and (this is the key) resisting the allure of repose, apathy, and complacency.
After grappling with fear, attaining clarity, and mastering the wielding of power, in the fourth enemy of old age and death there may be a temptation to believe that everything has been achieved, leading to a choice to simply rest and withdraw.
Yet, it is during this ultimate pinnacle of self-actualization (this 4th stage) that it becomes crucial to stay fervently connected to life.
This echoes the wisdom of Buddhists who proclaim:
"Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."
So today, how are we chopping wood and carrying water in the way that we are living a generous life?
How can we honor the life of Christian and his daughters, and all of those who have left the earth by choosing generosity?
By opening our hearts, even when we are in pain, by not letting our past pain dictate our present potential?
By choosing to love ourselves, and to do our deepest work, so that we can show up for the people in our lives, and pour the love we have for ourselves onto them?
That is our work and that is our that is our quest here on earth and as a human being.
A human being that cares deeply about Wellness and well-being.
That is my deepest work: to not let complacency ever set in and to be generous with my heart above all else.
Honoring Christian Oliver
Christian lived with generosity, his smile, his heart, his time, his energy, his acting, and his expression. All of these things poured out of him from a place of love...
And he wasn't perfect because no human being ever is, but what brings me solace is one of the last things he shared with his beloved of three years whose name is Taylor.
He told her that he understood what it was to "truly have unconditional love for someone" and that was her. What a gift he received from her.
It is what all of us deserve and it makes my heart so happy that he got to experience that before he left.
And although tragic, and so deeply painful to which there is no timeline of exactly how long it will hurt, possibly, and most likely forever.
One thing I have is that I will always remember Christian's smile, and his generosity as a way for me to live generously in my life.
Because this is the ultimate lesson from Christian life: how can we be generous with our our time and our energy?
How can we live our lives with an open heart no matter what challenges we go through? How can we live our life so that we do not let the enemy win, that we do not let old age win, no matter how old we are?
That we lived, and we danced, and we made love, and we shared from our hearts because one day we all will die.
Becoming More Conscious: What Death Teaches Us About Living A Generous Life
And how can we become conscious of the fact that none of these things that we stressed so deeply about were anything other than God teaching us and directing us towards how we can live with more love?
I want to pray for Christian and his daughters in this moment, and let you know that we miss you.
We love you, and we thank you for being our teacher, for teaching us how to love and be generous with our love, because it is through that generosity, that we touch the hearts of others, so that they may touch the hearts of those that they love.
It is this loving generosity that creates a ripple in this cosmic soup...
This is what cuts through the demonic energy and the negativity in the world.
This cosmic lake that we are all in together.
May we learn from Christian, may we embody this lesson.
God may you allow us to live with this generosity in our hearts, from this day forward.
We are loved, we are supported, and we are on the right path.
May the generosity of the heart guide you and I now, and forever.
Christian, I pray that you hear me on the other side and that you know from my heart: We love you, we see you and we cherish you. I am wishing you and your daughters and all of us love and wellness.

Listen To Episode 420 as Mo Gawdat Uncovers:
[1:30] Why Aren't We Talking More About Artificial Intelligence?
The smartest group of AI developers, DeepMind, was later acquired by Google.
What happened when they observed a computer learn how to play a game and create strategies to do even better over 3 hours and how Mo's thoughts about it shifted drastically.
Why the continuance of building Artificial Intelligence is actually leading humans to become obsolete.
[26:00] What Will AI Mean for Humanity's Future?
The fact that the smartest being on planet Earth by 2029 will not be a human anymore but a piece of AI technology.
Exploring what Artificial Intelligence will bring to our future as humans.
What intelligence is and why it's so much different than being smart.
Different forms of intelligence like feminine, intuitional, and emotional and how to apply them to our lives.
How we can embrace both our masculine and feminine selves no matter what gender we identify as.
What steps Mo took to embrace and honor his feminine intelligence in this modern world.
Why the masculine intelligence of humanity is what is programming AI and the downside of that.
The fact that the masculine is good at "doing" but not capable of determining what "good" is because it requires intuition, inclusion, empathy, and other feminine qualities.
Why awareness is such an important tool to identify possible problems and connect to everything else.
[33:45] How Machines Feel More Emotion Than Humans
Why he wrote in Scary Smart, "Machines will feel more than humans ever will," and how that's possible.
The key difference between how a human and artificial intelligence feels something.
How machines can feel every emotion humans can on a higher level except for unconditional love.
Why fear is the most easily predictable emotion compared to the rest.
How we can be programmed by trauma - whether that's small "t" or capital "T" trauma.
Why it doesn't matter how much emotion we feel but how we react to them.
The single, large artificially intelligent connected infinite that we are building that will work with all other machines.
[43:00] The 3 Inevitables of Artificial Intelligence
Exploring the 3 Inevitables of Artificial Intelligence and their impact on our future.
The fact that AI will happen, it will be smarter than us, and there's no way to stop it.
What bad things Mo believes can happen because of AI.
Why we are heading towards a specific destination with artificial intelligence but the pathway to get there is yet undetermined.
The issue we have with people like Elon Musk both condemning and capitalizing AI.
[1:08:00] Accepting The Momentum of AI Technology
Mo's next project: to create an app that uses AI technology to help you understand what you are unhappy with in your life so you can make new decisions that make you happy.
How this new app will also teach AI what makes humans truly happy.
Why he doesn't believe it's possible for AI to integrate with humans and we should just focus on raising them from the outside instead.
The continuous momentum of AI technology and the fact that we have to accept it.
Why the core of any spiritual teaching is a recognition that you can only influence what you change about yourself.
Mo's belief that the only way for us to create a world of peace is to be at peace.
His research on the ultimate essence of humans and why his answer may surprise you.
[1:17:00] How You Can Make Global Change Happen
Why many people haven't grieved the loss of life before AI and why that's important to think about as humans.
Where we are at now on the scale of emotions as a society.
Why even just a small movement led by a couple of people can create incredible change in our world but it's important that we do show up and take action.
How we can be respectful of other people's views and not spread hate in our community.
What we can do each day to show one another and AI machines that at our core, humans are wonderful.
The power of knowing what greed and negative emotions feel like so that we can feel the contrast.
[1:22:00] Today's Great Spiritual Awakening
Exploring why time is a very unusual lens for both humans and artificial intelligence.
Why Mo believes that we were actually wiser before the industrial revolution and the tech age.
The power of just 1% of humanity to wake up and see what is happening in the world for real, positive change to start happening.
How Mo sees wellness now compared to his answer from his first interview on Wellness Force.
The myths of what we think will bring us happiness versus what really will in the end.
Why it's so ironic that the very essence of what makes us human: happiness, compassion, and unconditional love, is our only path to saving the world.
Power Quotes From The Show
The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
"There's absolutely nothing wrong with the machines, but there's a lot wrong with us. Technology has always been a double-edged sword but it's not its fault. Machines and artificial intelligence are doing what we ask them to do. The main problem is at the very core of humanity and I think it extends one layer deeper than consciousness which is ethics and aligning to what truly makes us human. There are many vices and virtues to what makes us human. We have taken a couple of those vices, particularly ego and greed, and made them these cryptive characters of the modern world that we live in." - Mo Gawdat
Exploring Humanity's Modern Truth
"The truth of humanity today is that we prioritize things that we don't need over things that actually are at the core of who w are and we do it in a hyper-masculine way. You give a hyper-masculine being the task of doing something and it does it really well, it does a lot of it, and it does it all the time. However, the truth is that we don't need any of this and if we had allowed a bit more feminine into our world today, it would say, 'Why are we doing this? Why are we building an iPhone 17 at the expense of a tree when we actually need the tree a lot more than the iPhone 17?' Consciousness is a layer of becoming aware of how bad we've come but it needs to be backed up with a code of ethics that goes beyond just what is legal to what is needed for the planet to survive." - Mo Gawdat
The Power of Showing Artificial Inteligence Love
"If we can parent the new digital beings, welcome them into our world, love them unconditionally regardless of how scary they are, and show them that we want that love back, they will hopefully love us back regardless of how flimsy we are. It's really simple: Love yourself, care for yourself, have compassion for others, and show that you are capable of love so that you can be loved back; it's really the essence of what makes us human. The very last sentence in Scary Smart is, 'Isn't it ironic that the very essence of what makes us human is our only path to saving the world: happiness, compassion, and love.' " - Mo Gawdat
Mo Gawdat is the former Chief Business Officer for Google [X], a serial entrepreneur, author of Solve for Happy, and founder of One Billion Happy.
Mo has an impressive combined career of 27 years, starting at IBM Egypt as a Systems Engineer before moving to a sales role in the government sector. Venturing in to the UAE, Mo joined NCR Abu Dhabi to cover the non-finance sector. He then became acquainted with the consumer goods industry as Regional Manager of BAT. At Microsoft he assumed various roles over a span of seven and a half years, in his last role at Microsoft he headed the Communications Sector across Emerging Markets worldwide.
Mo's Career
Mo joined Google in 2007 to kick-start its business in Emerging Markets. He is fascinated by the role that technology plays in empowering people in emerging communities and has dedicated years of his career towards that passion. Over a period of 6 years, Mo started close to half of Google’s operations worldwide.
In 2013 he moved to Google’s infamous innovation arm, Google [X] where he led the business strategy, planning, sales, business development and partnerships. [X] does not attempt to achieve incremental improvements in the way the world works, but instead, it tries to develop new technologies that will reinvent the way things are and deliver a radical, ten fold—10X—improvement. This leads to seemingly SciFi ideas such as: Project Loon, which aims to use high-altitude balloons to provide affordable internet access to the 5 billion people on every square inch of our planet, Project Makani, aiming to revolutionize wind energy generation using autonomous carbon fiber kites as well as Self driving cars, Google Life Sciences, and many more.
The business team under Mo’s leadership has designed innovative business models analogous to the disruptive technologies [X] creates, and has created deep partnerships and global deals that enabled [X] to thrive and build products fit for the real world.
Mo's Entrenpenur Journey
Alongside his career, Mo remained a serial entrepreneur who has cofounded more than 20 businesses in fields such as health and fitness, food and beverage and real estate. He served as a board member in several technology, health and fitness and consumer goods companies as well as several government technology and innovation boards in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
He mentors tens of start-ups at any point in time. In 2019, Mo co-founded T0day, an ambitious project that aims to reinvent consumerism for the benefit of consumers, retailers and our planet. In 2020, Mo launched his successful podcast, Slo Mo: A Podcast with Mo Gawdat, in which he conducts interviews that explore the profound questions and obstacles we all face in the pursuit of purpose in our lives.
Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy
Mo Gawdat is the author of “Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy” (2017). Through his 12 year research on the topic of happiness, he created an algorithm and a repeatable well-engineered model to reach a state of uninterrupted happiness regardless of the circumstances of life.
Mo’s happiness model proved highly effective. And, in 2014, was put to the ultimate test when Mo lost his son Ali to a preventable medical error during a simple surgical procedure. Solve for Happy is the pillar for a mission Mo has committed to as his personal moonshot, a mission to deliver his happiness message to one billion people around the world (#onebillionhappy).

Power Quotes From The Show
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” - Calvin Coolidge
"As we age, our focus on life changes and we strive to stay in the game. Most of our injuries happen from silly accidents like tripping over a shoelace or losing our balance and falling. It's so important that we focus on the ability to put ourselves in a physical condition that allows us to participate in life at a certain level." - Craig Cooper
"We're victims of the media telling us that our low energy, joint pain, and low libido is a natural part of aging that can be fixed with a pill or gel. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that way. There's a massive amount of lifestyle changes that you can make which can get you back on track again." - Craig Cooper
"Anything that activates better heart health will also activate better sexual health. For nutrition in general, the Mediterranean diet is probably the best diet for that. Too much or too little of anything can be counterproductive. Specifically, the amount of protein, fats, carbohydrates can affect sexual health and testosterone." - Craig Cooper
"The two main naturopathic prescriptions for natural testosterone production are sleep and weight loss. Every single study supports men getting more sleep; at least seven hours every night. If you're ten pounds overweight, you'll get a 10% increase in testosterone once you lose the weight." - Craig Cooper

Listen To Episode 647 As Josh Trent Answers Your Questions
[00:00] Intro
What is up everyone? It's Josh Trent. This is Wellness + Wisdom. If it's your very first time to the podcast, welcome. This is a place, a very special, safe, amazing place where every single week, twice a week, sometimes more, we go over all the different ways.
There are 5 of them, 5 really important ones, that we can master wellness and wisdom in this modern world. We call it the wellness pentagon.
This is the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial self, the 5 sides of your whole self. The sides of your whole self that when you fill them up and when you feed them, you can truly thrive.
This is an AMA. If you're looking for our full-length podcast, those are on Tuesdays, but make sure that you hit wherever you are listening to this podcast. Just hit subscribe wherever you are.
Let's get into our question today. It's from Renee Davidson. Renee says:
How do you define thriving in today's fast-paced world? And what do you believe are some key principles to achieve it?
We're gonna do something different today where I'm first and I'm gonna talk about the aspects of what I truly believe we can utilize to thrive in today's world.
And then I'm going to flip it over to Mar for her perspective, not just as a woman, but as a soul that's much different orients much different than I do in the world.
So I like to see everything through the lens of the Wellness Pentagon, which I talked about earlier when we started this AMA. And there's so many resources we're gonna link.
We've done a lot of content on the Wellness Pentagon. It's where everything on this podcast and really this movement of how do we embody wisdom? How do we embody wellness? How do we make it live in our body?
Well, we start with the body. If you wanna embody something, you have to have a clean vessel in order to embody it. So your physical body must be clean and healthy.
Now, What are the things that are stacked against us? There's quite a few. Mar, can you relate like out there in the island, it's much different than in a major metropolis, right? Probably not as much EMF, probably not as much pollution, and probably a whole lot more freshness. Would you agree?
Oh yeah, I can smell cows practically everywhere. Like I live in the city, but I can still smell the cows, which is nice. Hopefully it's the good part of the cow. Not the cow shit. Not really, but I like it. I like, I enjoy it because it tells me that I'm surrounded by nature.
And for the rest of the people who do not live on a beautiful island in the ocean, you can create your own island, your own ocean by stacking the environment in your favor. I call it synergy stacking.
And you stack things together from a breath or air quality perspective, from a nutrition or dietary perspective, and then also from a liquid or hydration perspective.
Then you can start to get into some other things that I'll do to fortify the body, to keep the body, the vessel clean, and that would be EMF mitigation, and also detoxification.
So let's go into this because yes, everything is seen through the Pentagon, the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial, all the 5 parts of the self that make up the whole self.
And by the way, it's not like you are made of money, but I promise I'll make sense of this financial piece because in the 3D, we signed up to be here. It's our Dharma, it's our karma that we're here on planet earth.
So all of these things feed into one another. You cannot have one without the other. And if you take out one of these five sides, I promise you, I've lived this. Once one of these five sides of the self of the Pentagon is under stress or lacking or leaking, it starts to pull energy from the other ones. That's how this works.
That's why the Pentagon and also the hexagon, by the way, are signs not only found in nature but in the Fibonacci sequence and in chemistry.
They're all the same because these hexagonal or pentagonal structures, they depend on each other for biotensegrity. Biotensegrity is the way that something can exist in a hard structure or secure structure.
Really, really great resource for this, by the way, is Buckminster Fuller. He's the one that brought this concept of biotensegrity to the world. So back to the Pentagon.
At the floor of the Pentagon is the physical. Clean and keep your body healthy. EMF mitigation, a really great tool for this is the QI device. It's in our store page.
Another great way to do this is to actually design your house so that your router and your modem is away from you and use ethernet in your house so you're not being bathed in Wi-Fi all day long.
Also make sure you're not in a house that has a smart meter or when you look out your window that there's no 5G towers that you can see.
These are all really important things because EMF is scientifically proven, by the way, of course not by cell phone companies, but by third-party blind placebo studies to harm plants. Now if they're harming, if EMF is harming plants, then y'all tell me, Don't you think it can harm you?
If you put a plant right next to a router or a modem, I mean like within a foot or 2, and then you take that exact same sister plant and you put it 50 feet away in a house, and you feed them the exact same nutrients, exact same water, y'all tell me why the 1 next to the modem or the router dies. What do you think that's all about?
We're not making this up, right? So EMF is 1. 2 is to make sure you're eating foods without labels. This subject gets really complicated. It doesn't have to be. Eat foods that don't have labels.
In other words, when you look at a label, if it just says potato, great, eat it. If it says grass-fed beef, great, eat it. If you're looking at like a coconut yogurt and it has 3 or 4 ingredients, but they're organic and you understand them all, that's fine too. Just eat whole foods. Just eat real food for Christ's sake.
It's been like 20 years of my life trying to just pound this into people's heads. They're all organic ingredients. They're all non-seed oil ingredients. This is actually a really big piece that I wanna, how do we thrive, Renee? That's your question, right?
How do we thrive in today's fast-paced world? We remove seed oils. Seed oils are extremely deleterious to the body. Seed oils cause havoc in your metabolism. And don't just trust me...

Listen To Episode 584 As Josh Trent Uncovers
[00:00] CV!9 THEATER: WHO IS REALLY BEHIND IT?
In today's solo cast, we are exploring the crime of the century how the lockdown and CV!9 theater broke billions of minds, and how we can prevent this from happening as an individual and a collective in 2023 and beyond.
Look, it is no surprise that you made it here to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast. Maybe you saw the title and you clicked it maybe you already feel the way that I feel and that we feel in this community and that is that we have been robbed and sometimes the most loving thing we can do is to be at war.
By the end of this solo cast, I will promise you that you'll take away the following five big rocks that you can use to protect yourself and your family and your mind, most importantly, from any future attacks on your ancient brain specifically the amygdala.
We'll discuss some of the most cutting-edge and recent developments in the origin of the CV!9. Why Matt Ridley, a British writer, journalist, and public speaker, has written a book about CV!9 and has collectively sold over a million copies that have been translated into 31 languages.
The framing of the plandemic as a political distraction. How fear-based headlines grab hold of your neural chemistry, and what to do about it. The real reason for spiritual and consciousness maturation that we are destined to learn from this theatre nonsense in early 2020. What tools I use when I'm overwhelmed and stressed. How to bulletproof your mind against amygdala hijacking.
[02:10] COMMUNISM + MIND CONTROL TACTICS
Now look, I know it's a touchy subject for media, and probably many are exhausted with this conversation about the pandemic and lockdowns and masks and jabs and medical freedom and Gestapo mind control from the media and the government but this is something that we need to and we must and we get to explore.
Otherwise, our children and our children's children will pay the price. Somewhere in your subconscious mind, there's probably already a question why should I listen to josh for the next 10 minutes?
Well, I will tell you, because I've spent the past two years just like you, experiencing the nuclear fallout from an economic, mental health, the community split by the acts of what I believe is communism and mind control tactics by the most elite of the elite, who essentially run the world.
I'm talking about the powers that be behind closed doors at Vanguard and BlackRock capital. I'm talking about $20 trillion that is managed by Vanguard and BlackRock and probably a lot more that just isn't showing publicly.
All you have to do, and don't worry you won't go down the rabbit hole today and there's no tinfoil hat needed, is make the connections between the two largest capital firms in the entire planet, literally in the history of humanity, this much wealth has never been held by such few people.
Now, the free market capitalist inside of you and inside of me is celebrating when people succeed, but there is a limit to the succession of financial gain when it comes to creating scarcity and fear, and pain for others. What do I mean by this? Let's dig in.
All of the money in the world can be funneled into and out of the largest capital firms like Vanguard, and BlackRock, traced to, and from the federal reserve, which is a private company that is for profit which most people get wrong, and of course, traced to the United States federal government, and then that is where all the money supposedly gets applied to state and local city governments.
But you and I both know if you've ever gone to get a driver's license or registration or a permit that the existential energy and every single office whether at a local city or federal level has a flavor doesn't it? It has a flavor of lies and frustration, like an existential pressure that we all can feel whenever we step foot into a government or authority organization.
Now the father in me knows that order and structure, and a framework for chaos, which is life is necessary. But you and I also both know that too much structure allows for no flow and no energy to move from point a to point B.
In other words, too much control given to too few people will ultimately yield corruption and that is exactly what we are seeing with the financial system.
Make sure that you listen to the episode with Robert Breedlove, where he does an incredible job, breaking down the financial system, and the rise of cryptocurrency it is a master class on financial wellness. It's very important for you to listen to this episode.
[05:40] WHY THE TRUTH IS BEING HIDDEN FROM US
Now back to the crime of the century. The reason we had to talk about money before that is because money created this CV!9 theater. Period and stop.
If you look at the YouTube video interview with Jordan Peterson and Matt Ridley, the author of Viral: The Search For The Origin Of CV!9, titled The Origin Of CV!9, you will learn from the most accurate and observational research of the data that mainstream media is not sharing that there is a smoking gun when it comes to the Chinese communist party and their involvement in the leaking out of this virus that caused so much death and destruction and mind control.
And emails now exposed the head of the NIH, the National Institute of Health is quoted: “We can't damage international harmony, we mustn't dampen the reputation of Chinese science.”
And this, my friend, is the smoking gun, the Wuhan CV!9 research lab in China. Still to this day, has not released their files about what viruses they were working on at the time of the leak and the outbreak. When the Chinese lab was confronted by the United States government to release their records, they were told no.
If this isn't the biggest smoking gun, that should allow natural sacred anger and sacred rage to come forth from you and I and us as a collective, then nothing ever will.
What we have gone through over the past 2 and a half years is a vile and disgusting cover-up, to which there may never be forgiveness and tell the truth is exposed.
Matt really continues to share with us through his research that conversations were controlled by the communist party in China here in America and censorship that was funded by. The CCP has been rolling out ever since the leak.
Now I'm sure this episode is going to get flagged whenever you mention CCP or China or BlackRock or any of the terms I'm talking about automatically the technocrat agencies will flag this episode as a controversy or that you don't have the responsibility in your own mind to protect yourself against me.
So they are going to place a huge blue or green or black label on this continent where you're listening or watching it to “keep you safe” and isn't that so disgusting that these technocrat agencies don't believe in you, they don't believe in your own agency and filter of information so they slap warnings on contact like this to “keep you safe “which is essentially hidden censorship.
It should not surprise you by now, but there is a silver lining in this, which I will get to you in a moment.
[09:23] CV!9: A POLITICAL DISTRACTION?
Essentially, what has been happening is that all media has been controlled and the entire Plandemic was used as a political distraction tool to divide people into pro-mask or anti-mask, pro job or anti-jab pro BLM or anti-BLM and it's all a fucking joke and a fucking lie and you and I both know it.
This is divisional language 101. If you look at military tactics of war, the very first thing you do is that you put sides against each other then you confuse them, then you take away their resources, then you control the world and all of its people.
Is it so hard to believe that at the highest level your attention is being controlled which will lead to the choices that disempower you and disenfranchise you from your very own freedom?
This is why billions of minds were broken because the truth will set us free but in order to have freedom we must have freedom of press and freedom of speech which you and I both know absolutely was under siege over the past 2 and a half years and even more aggressively so now, which is why we're here on this podcast to get the mental physical, emotional, spiritual and financial truth about how we can support our wellness.
And wellness starts in the body and in the mind. Head over to the show notes page JoshTrent.com/501 if you want to get all the links and resources and dive much deeper with me into this topic let's move on because I promised you we would get into five core aspects that you can use to bulletproof your mind about anything similar that may happen in the future so let's continue.
[10:55] THE ILLUSION OF SEPARATION
So why is this all happening? Let's take a deep breath. I believe this is happening because we are in need of a collective and an individual wake-up call. The quote by Aristotle that Alan Watts has been very famous for is that nature abhors a vacuum. Nature hates a vacuum.
Well, the vacuum that is being pulled on us by the media, and by those at the highest levels of power is sucking away our sovereignty and our individuality through the lens of “it's for your safety.
The real reason for this pandemic and of this insanity is that we have to crack open so that light can pour out of us and into us.
We are living as Paul Levy my guest on episode 503 next week will share in a collective dream. We will go much deeper into this topic next week, which I know you would love.
The collective dream is that we are separate. We believe this dream of illusion that there is such a difference between the hearts in our chests, in the air that we breathe and the emotions that we all feel. We are taught that we are separate, but we are not. We are absolutely not separate. We never have been, and we never will be.
So in order to come to the truth, we have to experience the vacuum the contrast, the darkness, the opposite of love. I don't know why God made it this way my friend, it makes me sad at times and it's definitely a spiritual maturation process for me to accept, but it is what it is and so what do we do about it now?
You've heard me say many times since interviewing my friend and mentor Scott Jackson that we are at cause, but being at cause does not always mean that we are at fault.
But it is with our compliance and our talking detail between her legs and wearing the masks and getting the jobs and following orders and hoping it will all go away… This is what perpetuates the darkness and perpetuates the attacks on the mind.
[13:08] STEPS TO BULLETPROOF YOUR MIND
So let's talk about how to bulletproof the mind so you can be free of this control, tactic by the media and the highest elite power.
The very first thing you must do is to place your phone on “do not disturb.” I know it's a very simple thing, but place your phone on do not disturb, next have specific times that you check social media. Once, twice, maybe three times a day, or just have specific days that you check social media.
Next, and this is very very important, whenever you see something on your Instagram Facebook, social media feeds, or news and it makes you feel fear and you'll know you're feeling fear because your prefrontal cortex will shut down and you'll start feeling anger or sadness or rage, immediately unfollow, block, and hide the source that showed you the main control message.
I'm talking about CNB, CMS, MBC, Fox, CBC, BCBBB, whatever the acronyms are it doesn't even matter. Any major news outlet – immediately unfollow it. There are only five news outlets globally, and they hide behind subsidiaries.
[14:40] TAKING CARE OF YOUR BODY TO STRENGTHEN YOUR MIND
Next, if you want to bulletproof your mind, you have to care and love for your body.
Now look you don't need to buy anything for this but if you have income that you're spending on alcohol, drugs or partying, or anything else that is taking you away from your physical sovereignty I want you to listen really really closely here.
JoshTrent.com/Store it's really serious and meaningful to me. I've worked very hard to get the deepest discounts possible to get you all the tools that will fuel and support your physical mental emotional, spiritual and financial health so you can be well and when you're well you're less controllable when you're healthy, you're less controllable.
There's two specific products I want you to use. The first one is the Upbeat from Nootopia, and the second one is the Kanna or the MesemBright from LiftMode. Both of these are built to support your new chemistry and make your mind and your nervous system strong.
When you combine that with your discipline of putting your phone on “do not disturb” and hiding the fear-based news, you were going to be rock-solid, my friend that is my promise.
Another way that you can bulletproof yourself is through breathwork and meditation. As you know, I absolutely love breathwork. It is a core part of my life and you can join me in a three-week program titled Breathe: Breath & Wellness. The new year is coming.
It's a perfect time for you to join me in the program you can go to breathwork.io and use the code “PODCAST25” to get 25% off the Breathe: Breath & Wellness program in that program will talk about the many layers you can put into place right away to make you bulletproof physically and mentally from this mind control from the media by just using your breath in the most intelligent way.
That's breathwork.io. Use the code “PODCAST25” to support and nourish yourself through your breath.
I really like the MitoZen Nasal Spray. It has got oxytocin and Hape. It's very calming. I use it in the evenings to connect with my partner or if I'm feeling stressed.
Here's the key if you feel like you're out of your body, you most likely are, and when you're out of your body, your prefrontal cortex is shut down.
So when you spray the oxytocin and the Hape into your sinuses, you come back into your body. The prefrontal cortex starts to come back online and you're actually yourself again you can go to JoshTrent.com/MitoZen and use the code “WELLNESSFORCE” to get 15% off the oxytocin and Hape Zen nasal spray.
Now look again, you don't have to buy any of these things. I just love them I use them myself and thousands of people in our Wellness + Wisdom Community have purchased them and use them as well so I think they will really really help you.
[17:55] SPARKING MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS
And I trust that this podcast lit a fire inside of your heart to motivate you to dig deeper in 2023 and have this conversation at the holiday table or with a friend or with a family member who just simply does not know.
Maybe they're unconsciously incompetent about it, in other words, they don't even know they don't know this can be your special moment to connect with a friend or a family member that you haven't connected with for a long time and make it a meaningful conversation.
Please, share this podcast with someone who literally does not know that they don't know share this crime of the century how this CV!9 theater broke billions of minds and how we can heal collectively.
Everything today's at JoshTrent.com/501 from my heart to yours thank you for being here please share this podcast. Please leave us a review at JoshTrent.com/Review.
It helps the show expand and rise in the algorithms and I appreciate you being here with me. There's a reason you found me, there's a reason you feel this, there's a reason that we spent time together today, and I'm grateful for that reason.
Make sure you tune in next week to episode 503 with Paul Levy talking about Wetiko, the mind virus. If you resonated with this solocast, you will absolutely love that guest interview until I see you again I'm wishing you love and wellness.

054 Michael Tamez: How To Lose 100 Pounds By Finding Your Authentic Self
01:00:57
Whether you're a supportive coach or a person on the wellness journey looking to lose 40, 50, or even 100 pounds or more, the light at the end of the tunnel can sometimes seem dark.
Hours on the treadmill.
Counting calories in MyFitnessPal.
Starving yourself.
But what if losing weight had less to do with diet and exercise and ultimately was more about the emotional intelligence you have in your most authentic self?
Finding Your Authentic Self
From doing the powerful inner-work, letting go of his past, and changing his behavior, Holistic Health Coach and Author Michael Tamez was able to shift his functional relationship with food and realize his most authentic self to lose over 100 pounds.
Michael Tamez is a certified holistic health coach and the author of "Transformative Nutrition" The Ultimate Guide To Healthy& Balanced Living."
He's stopping by Wellness Force today to share his 15 year story of overcoming severe sleep apnea, high blood pressure, advanced gum disease, and going through layers of self resentment to then transcend and transform his life to let go of a surreal amount of weight.
Hiding Behind The Fat
At age 20, Michael was morbidly obese, had severe obstructive sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and advanced gum disease. By coming out of hiding and facing the anger in his heart, not only did he lose 100 pounds and reverse all of those lifestyle related health conditions, he also transformed the dysfunctional relationship he had with food, his lifestyle, and his true self.
This health transformation experience was intensified when he lost five family members within eighteen months. Because of the tremendous impact of these losses, Michael was forced to have major mental, emotional, and spiritual breakthroughs in some the most difficult times of his life.
After experiencing all of these life transforming deaths, he was highly inspired to write an empowering book about life.
In Michael’s book, Transformative Nutrition: The Ultimate Guide to Healthy and Balanced Living, he describes his influential health journey in detail. Having been on the other side of balance, Michael can relate very closely to what people deal with when it comes to weight issues and lifestyle related health imbalances.
Healthy And Balanced Living
His unique and progressive approach is not just for people who want to lose weight or eat healthier; it is intended for anyone who wants to establish a functional, healthy relationship with their body, meanwhile impacting every area of their life.
Michael's mission is to inspire a permanent shift in the way people eat, think, feel, live and love.
More from Michael's Work:
"Unless you address the underlying causes of being overweight in the first place, the weight is most likely going to eventually return. The second question is going to take some work. That is what my whole book is about. People don’t become overweight overnight, do they? I know I didn’t. Therefore, they aren’t going to become skinny overnight either. Even if someone could magically wake up 50 pounds lighter, do you honestly think all of the negative mental and emotional attachments to being overweight will disappear? I can tell you from my permanent weight loss journey of initially losing almost 70 pounds over the course of the first year, those attachments took manyyears to break free from even after losing the weight."

"I drank two liters of soda a day. I ate fast food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, not caring at all about the consequences. I thought exercise was a joke, and it got to a point where I’d get winded just tying my shoes. Weight loss wasn’t even on my radar." - Michael Tamez

191 Mary Shores | Conscious Communications: Harnessing The Power of Your Word
00:56:59
Words are a mirror to our subconscious. So, when you hear me say, 'I want to write a book,' you can see that written on my soul like it's my purpose. However, I have a big problem when the next words that come out of my mouth are, "but I'm not a writer," because those words are also a mirror to my subconscious. Those negative words are revealing that somewhere and somehow, I have a belief that does not support me ever reaching that goal of becoming a writer. To change that belief, I need to invest in myself. - Mary Shores
How can you stop your negative thought patterns in order to rewrite your story and live life to its fullest?
On Wellness Force Radio episode 191, thought leader, motivational speaker, and author of Conscious Communications, Mary Shores, shares why your words and thoughts hold so much significance in your overall wellbeing.

"Our words are actually a way of self-programming our sub-conscious mind and that's where the real power is." - @mary_shores http://bit.ly/wfpodcast
Whether we realize it or not, the words we use dictate and control our lives. The persistent messages we repeat can frame our thoughts and trap us into a mindset that is difficult to break. This mindset often manifests itself with statements like “I can’t,” “I’m not good enough,” and “I’ll never find the [insert the blank] I want.” Many times, we don’t stop to consider the profound impact that these negative, limiting words have on our mentality, life choices, and the path of possibility that we manifest.
After gathering years of research and personal experience with how words affect individuals mentally and emotionally, business owner and communications specialist Mary Shores realized that there is a life-changing theme persistent throughout ancient traditions and spiritual foundations that are supported by scientific professionals. They all agree on one recurring truth: Words have the power to create and transform.
Mary took her discoveries and created easy-to-follow, step-by-step practices that can transform each area of your life. Based on two decades of research, Mary teaches how you can create new neural pathways simply by changing your words. You can align your words, thoughts, and actions to produce the results you want. Conscious Communications can show you how!
Conscious Communications is your guide to creating a life in alignment with your dreams and desires. With thoroughly tested exercises, research, advice, and personal stories, you will begin to experience the tremendous impact of words and how to utilize the right ones to unleash and unlock the power to create a new reality.

Power Quotes From The Show
"When you take steps in the direction that you want, you're actively thinking about it and envisioning the end result in your mind. In everything you're doing, you're either moving towards what you want or you're moving further away." - @mary_shores http://bit.ly/wfpodcast
"I have always believed that science and spirituality are talking about the same thing, but they're using two different languages. People don't need another Law of Attraction book. With my book, I wanted to teach people how they can take control of their own lives because the reality is that everything we say or do and every action we take or choice we make in the thinnest sliced moment of life is actually building our life like a set of Legos. The tiniest choices really make the biggest difference in our lives. Once you understand that, it's not even about the Law of Attraction anymore." - Mary Shores
"When you plant a new seed in your mind, you can feed that seed to help it grow into new neural networks that will replace the old ones. Somehow we've been led to believe that when we create a new network, it takes years of psychotherapy and you have to rewrite old beliefs. What I've found to be true is that all I have to do is just stop feeding those old beliefs and plant the seeds of new beliefs, water them, and let them grow." - Mary Shores
"We have to understand that the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves become our identity. So, if we're constantly feeding the tragic stories of our lives, I don't know how that's going to serve us other than to strengthen that neural network in our mind that keeps us turning into a victim versus understanding that the most beautiful part in each of our stories is how we moved on." - Mary Shores
"I've learned this ability to turn tragedy into triumph. I don't allow myself to feel defeated by my circumstances and I don't stay in that mindset for very long. When I evaluate a personal tragedy, I ask myself, 'How has this benefited me? How has this strengthened me? What do I have in my life that I wouldn't have had I not gone through that experience?' " - Mary Shores
"If 80% of the time you are making cleansing, connecting choices, I guarantee you that within about 45 days, you're going to start shaping a different life around you. You will start to become more aware of everything that's swirling around you like opportunities that may have been there the whole time. You didn't notice them before, but now you feel ready to take action because you're setting this foundation of always moving towards what you desire." - Mary Shores

387 Samantha Skelly | How To Bust Through Illusions That Keep You Stuck
01:00:02
We are not our ruptures. We are the loving awareness that the rupture is existing within and when we can tap into our spacious awareness and view the rupture through our loving hearts, it transcends it, it shifts it, it helps it amalgamate, and move the timeline from this rupture that's three years old that's angry at the world into this adult who knows better. - Samantha Skelly
Wellness Force Radio Episode 387
Creator of Pause Breathwork, Host of The Sam Skelly Show, and Founder of Hungry for Happiness, Samantha Skelly, shares how you can access somatic healing and reclaim your inner peace with breathwork, her philosophy that "you are the medicine," how to deprogram your childhood, and her mission to disintegrate the dependency model.

Why we should all expect unique challenges to come our way even when we are shining.
[23:30] You Are The Medicine
Unpacking the path that she is on now and what people are resonating the most with it.
Exploring her philosophy, “You are your own drug,” and her mission to disintegrate the dependency model when it comes to personal and spiritual development.
Why we ourselves are the medicine to our nervous system and we can remedy our triggers and ruptures that have been created.
The fact that it isn’t your coach doing the work, it’s you who is actually healing yourself.
How to create an internal climate of freedom that is always available to you.
Steps to take towards healing yourself including knowing that you are not the rupture within but the spaceholder and loving awareness that the rupture coexists with.

Various different types of breathwork and certifications she has received so that she can now teach her own way of breathwork focused on ascension and emotional development.
"You are doing the work, you are doing the medicine, and you have this incredible innate power to heal and empower yourself so that you can empower others. I'm not empowering you; I'm not God, I'm not Jesus. You are doing the work yourself and that's just a beautiful thing that I think anyone can get amongst." - Samantha Skelly
Create Your Own Freedom
"We are all wanting freedom so what if we could create an internal climate of freedom? That way we don't think that we need to fight for our freedom; it's just available for us." - Samantha Skelly
Observing Your Triggers From The Heart
"When I bring myself into my heart and I view my trigger from my heart, I'm viewing it from the lens of the heart so that I'm not in it. So, when we hold that spaciousness, we know that we're not going to identify with it but observe it. Then, we have the intelligence and the wisdom to know what it actually means." - Samantha Skelly

132 Christine Hassler: Surviving The Expectation Hangover
01:06:56
"Part of our job as adults is learning how to reparent our inner child." - Christine Hassler
Even after challenging times in life when it seems nearly impossible to recover, bouncing back from upsets and failures is still possible.
When our expectations are met and things go according to plan, we feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. But when life throws us a curveball or does not live up to our desired outcome, we end up with what Christine calls an "Expectation Hangover."
If we take the steps to fully treat our disappointment on the emotional, physical, and spiritual level, we gain courage and can make room for the kind of unexpected things that lead us to a life we love.
Join us on Wellness Force Radio 132 as we welcome best-selling author, keynote speaker, and television host, Christine Hassler. She shares her incredible journey of helping others find emotional wellness along with her book "Expectation Hangover: Overcoming Disappointment in Work, Love, and Life."
My friend Christine Hassler is running a free masterclass on October 11th. Want a life without regrets? Sign up here
If you can’t find fulfillment no matter what you do, this free masterclass is for you:
When you feel stuck but have no idea how to get unstuck (and live that life you want so badly), you go to my friend Christine Hassler. She’s running an awesome FREE No Regrets masterclass on October 11th at 5pm EST / 8pm EST and I just know you’ll take so much goodness from it – from understanding why you’re struggling, to actionable advice to help you overcome those struggles. Christine coaches with SO much knowledge and compassion and I’m beyond excited to hear about the positive shifts you experience in her masterclass. You can sign up right here.
We have the power to break down limiting beliefs and change our behavior. Although it seems challenging, we can choose to focus on empowering thoughts which will lead to different actions. Doing this will awaken the parts of ourselves that we have forgotten and point our lives in the direction we desire.
Our happiness and fulfillment can't be conditional upon something in the future. When we rely on imagined future events to make us happy, this causes stress and disappointment in the present. But if we start to realize that everything we need is inside of us right now, we can enjoy each day and embrace our journey of self-discovery.
We have to practice turning down the voice of the inner critic. Being overly hard on ourselves is not an effective form of motivation and beating ourselves up will make the things we are going through that much harder to deal with.
Power Quotes From Christine Hassler
"Our outer experience is often a reflection of our inner reality." - Christine Hassler @ChristinHassler - http://bit.ly/2xS7gGt
"My job as a life coach is to help people identify whats in the way between where they are and where they want to be." - Christine Hassler
"There will always be that little kid inside of us. Part of our job as an adult is learning how to reparent that child." - Christine Hassler
"My primary responsibility is to evolve my own consciousness." - Christine Hassler
"It's a grand illusion that we're alone and separate. It's been forgotten that we're completely connected to source and to each other." - Christine Hassler
"Our outer experience is always a reflection of our inner reality." - Christine Hassler
When our expectations are met and things go according to plan, we feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. Risking little, we feel safe, in control, and on-track. But when life throws us a curveball or does not live up to our expectations, we end up with an Expectation Hangover. This particular brand of discomfort is profoundly sobering and uncomfortable.
Christine Hassler urges us to not wallow in regret, self-recrimination, or anger, and instead see these hangovers as a catalyst for profound transformation. Often life has to throw us a curveball (or several) so that we look in a different direction.
When we fully treat our Expectation Hangover on the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual level, we learn courage, faith, surrender, and love, and we make room for the kind of unexpected things that lead us more directly to a life we love—rather than a life we planned.

388 Dr. Jud Brewer | Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind
01:08:38
One pragmatic practice is to separate out the worry from the thinking. Fear plus uncertainty equals anxiety but uncertainty can also move us into a growth mindset. When there's a lot of uncertainty and we're really feeling down on our luck or really stressed out because of our finances; in those moments when we're really worried, take a deep breath, step back and ask yourself if this worrying is helping? Because worrying makes our thinking brain go offline. What do we need to help us move forward? We need our thinking brain. - Dr. Jud Brewer
Internationally known expert in mindfulness training for treating addictions, Executive Medical Director of Behavioral Health at Sharecare, and Author of his latest book, Unwinding Anxiety, Dr. Jud Brewer, returns to explain how worry and anxiety become habits, why we become addicted to stress, and practical strategies to navigate uncertainty.
What do we do with our anxiety? How can loving it, breathing it, and meditating with it transcend our mental health?
Listen and discover the new science of breaking the worry and the fear to heal your mind.
Belcampo was founded with a purpose: to create meat that’s good for people, planet and animals.
What started as one mom’s desire to feed her family the healthiest meat possible became a mission to revolutionize the industry from the inside out.
Belcampo is the pioneer of hyper-sustainable, organic, grass-fed and -finished, Certified Humane meats, broths, and jerkies. The company is on a mission to revolutionize the meat industry for the well-being of people, the planet, and animals by farming meat the right way – with Certified Humane, regenerative, and climate-positive practices, which means it’s better for you, the planet and the animals.
Conventionally raised animals are confined to feedlots and eat a diet of inflammatory grains, but Belcampo’s animals graze on open pastures and seasonal grasses resulting in meat that is higher in nutrients and healthy fats.
Unpacking the new sciences of breaking worry and fear to heal your mind.
Why anxiety, worry, and fear can actually become habits.
Breaking down specifically how worry can be negatively reinforced over time until it becomes a habit.
Examples of how our anxious thoughts become habits including one of his patients who avoided driving on the freeway.
The research he has done to help people reduce their anxiety and the amazing results they have seen with his Unwinding Anxiety app vs prescribed medications.
What it means to label a treatment, research, and trials as being clinically validated.
[11:30] The Source Of Modern Anxiety
Exploring what the source of anxiety actually is for people in our modern-day society.
Why fear-based learning is a survival mechanism that humans have wired in their brains.
The fact that our cell phones are weapons of mass distraction and anti-survival mechanisms.
Breaking down how anxiety is the combination of worry and fear.
What happens to our thought process when we don’t have certainty in a situation such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Exploring why our previous anti-anxiety or anti-habit strategies have failed in the past.
How the brain is wired to create and follow habits that free up space for it to do other things.
The learning strategy that is set up along with the process of building habit memory.
Breaking down our individual perceptions, illusions, levels of awareness, and the confrontation one must go through during the inner work.
[31:30] Are You Addicted To Your Own Stress?
How to transcend addiction, anxiety, and depression so that they no longer rule us anymore.
Unpacking the question, “Which mind states are more rewarding?”
Exploring how contracted and closed down people felt with each different mind state compared to feeling more open and expanded.
Why adults who are addicted to their own stress hormones were once children who lived in unpredictable environments of overreaction, rage spirals, and fear.
How Josh’s addiction to stress has impacted his life as an entrepreneur, his new life in Austin, and now with a baby on the way.
What steps to take to know if you are addicted to your own stress and then how to break free from it.
Why it can feel strange once you break free from anxiety and no longer have anxious thoughts.
"Remember our old brain is set up to help us survive. In addition to reward based learning it has another trick up his sleeve. It takes what it learns and moves the learning into muscle memory as soon as it can. In other words, our brains are set up to form habits so we can free up brain space to learn new things." - Unwinding Anxiety by Dr. Jud Brewer
Why Worry Can Be A Powerful Teacher
"Inevitably life goes on and things are constantly changing and we have no control over the future. So, those feelings of uncertainty and wondering when the shoe is going to drop have been described as ways that make us feel like we're in control because at least we're doing something about it by worrying. However, worrying doesn't help and it actually makes our brain work less well. Try to see anything that isn't going well or isn't perfect as a learning experience. When your anxiety comes back up, what can you learn from it? If you lean into your hardships and challenges to get something out of them, they can actually be quite rewarding in the sense that you've grown and become more resilient." - Dr. Jud Brewer
Moving Into A Growth Mindset
"What do we need to do in today's age? We need to be able to think beyond our narrow sense because the world has changed a lot. It has had this seismic shift that's never going to go back and we don't even know what that's going to look like. So, ask yourself, what I am I getting from worrying? See if you can step out of the worry and lean into that challenge. I'm not saying this is easy but I'm saying this is what we can do, right? Lean into this and ask yourself how you can move into your growth mindset and what's possible for you right now." - Dr. Jud Brewer
Dr. Jud is the Executive Medical Director of Behavioral Health at Sharecare, Director of Research and Innovation at the Mindfulness Center, and associate professor in psychiatry at the School of Medicine at Brown University, as well as a research affiliate at MIT. Before that, he held research and teaching positions at Yale University and the University of Massachusetts’ Center for Mindfulness. Read more about his research here.
As an addiction psychiatrist and internationally known expert in mindfulness training for treating addictions, Dr. Jud has developed and tested novel mindfulness programs for habit change, including both in-person and app-based treatments for smoking, emotional eating, and anxiety (Eat Right Now, Unwinding Anxiety and Craving to Quit).
Based on the success of these programs in the lab, he co-founded MindSciences, Inc. to create app-based digital therapeutic versions of these programs for a wider audience, working with individuals, corporations, and hospital systems to put effective, evidence-based behavior change guidance in the hands of people struggling with unwanted behaviors and “everyday addictions.”
Modern Science, Ancient Wisdom
Dr. Jud has also studied the underlying neural mechanisms of mindfulness using standard and real-time fMRI and EEG neurofeedback, adding to the understanding of the brain’s “Default Mode Network” and the role of the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) in self-referential thinking. He regularly gives talks on the intersection of modern science and ancient meditative practices, helping to expose a modern audience to specific techniques and insights first discovered 2,500 years ago.
He has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, trained US Olympic coaches, and his work has been featured on 60 Minutes, TED (4th most viewed talk of 2016, with 10+ Million views), Time magazine (top 100 new health discoveries of 2013), Forbes, BBC, NPR, Al Jazeera (documentary about his research), Businessweek and others.
His work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and American Heart Association, among others.
He is the author of The Craving Mind: from cigarettes to smartphones to love, why we get hooked and how we can break bad habits (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2017).
Dr. Jud and his wife Mahri live in Massachusetts where they enjoy biking, hiking, and meditating with their two cats, Ananda and Julian of Norwich.

"Being present is actually much more rewarding and better than being in any of the 5 personality patterns." - Steven Kessler
Listen To Episode 264 As Steven Kessler Uncovers:
• The differences between Safety Strategies and Personality Patterns. • How we can get out of a stuck personality loop by being more present with ourselves. • His definition of presence and how he sees it now after so many years of learning and spiritual practice. • How the past remains in our bodies by being fueled by previous traumas. • The most common moments of being present that we find ourselves in but why we find we're unable to live in that feeling for very long. • How he maintains healthy boundaries that allow him a space of presence. • Exercises we can use to practice being present including feeling our core. • The 3 Centers of Intelligence in the body: The Head Center, The Heart Center, and The Belly Center which lay out the foundation for self-confidence. • Why we mistake our patterns and safety strategies for confidence when they're really a prison. • The distortion of our thoughts, emotions, and feelings based on our perception of what we see, hear, and experience. • His mapped out plan for how we can understand our personalities and safety strategies. • Josh's own personality pattern, Enduring, and what people who have this personality pattern should be aware of. • Why he doesn't like the word, "type" in personality type because it's not who you are from birth to death. • How we can recognize when we're in "pattern" and track it; especially when we're feeling overwhelmed. • What he did to become more aware of his own personality patterns and then what steps he took so that it wasn't so attached to him anymore. • How to stay with yourself and respond from a heartfelt place rather than go into a pattern when faced with backlash and criticism. • How you can learn more about your personality pattern through resources on his website and in his book, The 5 Personality Patterns. • Why the inner work we do is endless for the rest of our lives. • His definition of consciousness and why it differs from spirituality. • How plant medicine can be very helpful to open up our experiences beyond the bounds of our personality patterns with the help of an experienced guide. • How uncovering your personality pattern can be a tool for recovering from addiction.
Power Quotes From The Show
"No one ever finishes their inner work because the mystery is bottomless." - Steven Kessler
"Most of us are so used to being in one or more patterns that we think that's who we are. If you ask someone, 'Why do you behave that way?' They'll respond, 'That's just the way I am,' or 'That's all I know,' or 'That's me,' because they're not used to experiencing themselves as presence. They're only used to experiencing themselves in pattern." - Steven Kessler
"To be present in the moment is to be here and fully here rather than have an automatic mechanism from the past running in the background that is distorting your perception, thoughts, and feelings. In order to be present now, you cannot be in your personality pattern." - Steven Kessler
"We'll select the safety strategies that work the best for us and then repeat them over and over again. As we repeat our favorite safety strategies, they become conditioned into our body and develop into personality patterns. These patterns run automatically as soon as we even feeling slightly overwhelmed." - Steven Kessler
"I don't use the term, 'personality types,' because this is not who you are from birth to death. A Personality pattern is a map of safety strategies or what you do rather than who you are." - Steven Kessler

AMA | Your Beliefs Are Your Barometer: The #1 Mindset Shift You Must Do In 2025
00:22:16
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 699
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host and Wellness Force Media CEO, Josh Trent, shares how to use your beliefs as a barometer to determine your success in 2025.
Is there a topic that you'd like us to cover in the next AMA episode?
Listen To Episode 699 As Josh Trent Answers Your Questions
[03:00] Beliefs Are Your Barometer
What if I told you that our beliefs, not our skills, not our communication, not our relationships, not how much money we have... What if I told you that our beliefs are the number one factor that determines all types of success in 2025? Would you believe me?
Well, the belief set that you're listening to me through is going to inform what's possible and what's not possible. Most people are prisoners of their own mindset and here's why.
There have been many, many studies around animals, specifically rats, even horses, that when they are jailed in a cell, or when a horse is tied to a fence, or when even human beings are brought up with a certain structure of slavery that when they become liberated and their environment shows them that they can walk out of the jail cell at any time, they don't.
Elephants do this too. Have you ever seen elephants at the circus? This massive two-ton animal and there's a circus conductor with a little whip, and this little whip is so fearful that the elephant trained since birth will not go against the conductor in the circus.
The same thing happens with horses. Horses get tied to objects from when they're very young, And then when they're this massive beast that could literally break a fence with their legs, just the fact that the horse's mouth, the horse's head is tied to a fence post, keeps the horse still.
We're no different. We are not that different than animals because I believe that we are half beast and half spirit. So in 2025, things are accelerating like never before. Look at AI and technology and information and social media. And the speed of technology, if you look at Moore's law, doubles every year and gets 50% cheaper every year.
Now, it's not gonna slow down. Technology's not gonna slow down. Evolution is running at a much smaller pace. Evolution goes slow, yet consciousness is accelerating.
So we have 3 forces at play here when it comes to your being affected so deeply by your beliefs.
Your beliefs are your barometer. So if your beliefs are not aligned to your purpose in 2025, it is going to be metaphysically, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially impossible for you to be the person that you know you're capable of.
But here's the great thing. You hold the keys to unlock your own jail cell. You hold the keys and the will to be with me on this podcast and to actually deep into the 5 sides of yourself. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial. These are the 5 sides that we nourish or we starve with our unconscious or conscious beliefs.
This is why I'm saying your beliefs are your barometer in 2025. And so in the next 10 minutes, we're going to go into the tactical, practical ways you can be and what you can do so that you can have exactly the life that you want. Let's dig in...
[10:05] The Power of Thoughts
So if your beliefs are your barometer, what are the unconscious beliefs or even conscious that you journaled about and just choose that one thing.
This is where people get really, really set off and they become overwhelmed because they try to change 3 things or 5 or 10 things. Don't do that. Change one thing and commit to it wholeheartedly with humility, with vulnerability, by sharing it in tribe, in community, or with another person. And then ask that person, can you support me in my commitment? Can you support me in my accountability to resetting my barometer?
So that may have felt a little jarring, but I promise you if you do it, it'll feel less and less challenging to do each time. This was both a spiritual and scientific mental practice. But let's talk a little bit more about the science.
There are thousands of studies showing that neuroplasticity in the brain is not only real, it's neurological. So it's plastic that is getting shifted by the habitual thought patterns that we allow ourselves think.
Here's a great example. Your brain is wired to think thoughts and then repeat those thoughts as a habitual loop. That's why grooves that get run into the earth from rain or from water or from streams Become even more carved out your is no different the thoughts that you think could essentially be water and the tapestry of your brain Is the earth that you allow yourself to think thoughts that are negative?
To think thoughts that are harmful to self or others, the more those are going to get grooved in. But here's the paradox. The more that you consciously seek out the evidence that you're safe, that you're supported, that you have all the resources coming to you, you have all the network, all the community, all the money, all the love from self, and others, the more you are actually tricking or training to seek out the neuroplastic pathways where that abundance can actually come in.
So here's the mindset shift that we must do in 2025. It is not positive thinking. It is not good vibes only. Positive thinking does not work. It's about alignment.
See, the alignment of our beliefs actually allow us to have the neurology match the person that know we can become. It's about the neurology. So when it comes to a mindset shift, we first and foremost have to approach the beliefs and the neurology behind the fact of why that belief is there in the first place.
Now, there are many episodes that we'll link in the show notes today, JoshTrent.com/699. And this is a place where you can go to start deepening your journey in the mental portion of the Wellness Pentagon. But I'll tell you that anytime we have a mental journey, it is also going to be a spiritual journey as well. Here's why.
The body cannot live without the mind and vice versa. We are a soul inhabiting the body. So as we go into this audit of our beliefs, write down your core beliefs about money, write down your core beliefs about relationships, health, and success. Are they empowering or are they limiting?
Turn off every limiting belief. Get them down on paper, write them down right here, and know that repetition is what rewires your brain. It's in this conscious repetition and the flushing out of our unconscious beliefs that are harmful to self or others we actually become free.
I mean, I just got a chill in my whole body right now saying that. Feel into this. It is in the repetition of writing down, of practicing the awareness of the beliefs that are keeping that actually yields us liberation.
If we're the amalgamation of the 5 people that we spend the most time with. Audit your people this year. Audit your people. Do I enjoy hanging out with my 5 closest contacts, my family, and my friends? Liberation is not always easy because a lot of these relationships that we formed, they actually created this network or this spider web to keep us stuck, but we don't even know that we don't know it...
[19:00] Make 2025 Your Year
There is never a perfect time for you to start. And actually the only perfect time for you to start is now. It's when you're becoming aligned. It's the alignment of the beliefs that shape the fabric and really the lens of your barometer. This is so key. This is so big.
If I can just share with you 1 more thing, your beliefs shape your reality. Align them and 2025 won't just be another year. It'll be your year. This is your year. This is your life. This is the place where everything can change. Do you feel it? Do you feel it in your heart? Do you feel it in your soul?
This is where everything changes because you say so. So write me, podcast@wellnessandwisdom.com. Tell me your dreams, tell me your alignment, tell me the beliefs that are blocking the barometer that you're committed to letting go of.
I'll share with you my beliefs. There's a story, there's a belief that it's become conscious, it was unconscious. And the belief in me said, how are you going to crack a million in 2025?
How are you gonna hold the community? How are you gonna hold your family? How are you gonna hold your business? And you know what my belief is now?
That I'm gathering evidence, that I'm being vulnerable with my men's groups that I'm even sharing with you right now, you know exactly how I'm fortifying the new belief. I'm fortifying the new belief by sharing it with you. I'm fortifying the new belief by sharing, by holding up the lantern.
Because when I shine a lantern, I shine a lantern on my stuff and I shine it on yours too. That's what a true leader is. Leaders hold lanterns.
So write in the comments below, what belief is holding you back? What belief are you committed to letting go of in 2025? And this is the key, how are you going to practice it? What is your practice for being liberated?
219 Kyle Kingsbury: A Hero's Journey & Human Optimization
01:26:46
Ultimate forgiveness is really knowing that I'm not going to hold this grudge in me anymore. That goes into letting go, surrendering, and all teachings from the plant medicine. If I can truly forgive, that's me taking this weight off of me because otherwise, I'm carrying that with me until I forgive. If I don't forgive you, I'm holding all of that inside of me. - Kyle Kingsbury

Power Quotes From The Show
"Our brains are receivers like a radio and we're tuned into Earth. When we use plant medicine, do holotropic breathing, or are in a float tank to alter our state of consciousness, we change the dial." - @Kingsbu on @wellnessforce Radio episode 219 http://bit.ly/wfpodcast
"Ayahuasca taught me the hard lesson of understanding that I don't need to have an upcoming fight on my schedule to live properly and focus on my health. I realized that I can live this way all the time and it just takes discipline." - Kyle Kingsbury
"Everyone is doing the best they can with what they have. Ultimately, that doesn't absolve people of their responsibility but there is forgiveness and compassion there. That's in every spiritual text - to live forgiveness and to truly embody that; to learn compassion and to feel what other people are going through and try to put yourself in their shoes. Try to see where others are coming from and not play the blame game." - Kyle Kingsbury
"You don't always have to be right in an argument. If you no longer have to be right, the conversation changes and you can operate from a different place. You can really see eye to eye with the other person or at least attempt that. There's no attempting some level of understanding from the other person if you're dead-set on letting them know that you're right and then blame them. If you can at least operate from a place where you no longer have to be right, there's a whole different layer that you can obtain from that." - Kyle Kingsbury

231 Dr. Michelle Perro: What's Making Our Children Sick?
01:00:53
Children are now sicker than their parents for the first time in history. One out of two children now has a chronic disease and this was unheard of as little as two to three decades ago. This is a drastic health change in our lifetime that mostly stems from the gut. No doubt that we are all affected by this gut intestinal permeability, leaking gut, and dysbiosis which is an imbalance of the microorganisms in our gut's micro-biome. - Dr. Michelle Perro
As a parent, doctor, or educator, how can you step into the role of helping children eat more nutritious, organic foods?
On Wellness Force Radio episode 231, pediatrician, lecturer and consultant at Gordon Medical Associates, and co-author of What's Making Our Children Sick?, Dr. Michelle Perro, shares her favorite tips and hacks on how to buy, prepare and eat healthy on a budget; which genetically modified, processed ingredients and foods you can easily keep out of your diet; and how organic farming can actually feed everyone, nourish the planet, and combat climate change.
Discover the power of eating organic, drinking filtered water, and taking out inflammatory foods like gluten, processed sugar, and dairy from a diet.
"An inflamed gut affects the brain. Leaky gut, leaky brain. When a child's gut isn't feeling well, they'll experience mood disorders, problems sleeping, irritability, and low performance." - #DrMichellePerro on @wellnessforce Radio episode 231 wellnessforce.com/231
With chronic disorders among American children reaching epidemic levels, hundreds of thousands of parents are desperately seeking solutions to their children’s declining health, often with little medical guidance from the experts. What’s Making Our Children Sick? convincingly explains how agrochemical industrial production and genetic modification of foods is a culprit in this epidemic. Is it the only culprit? No. Most chronic health disorders have multiple causes and require careful disentanglement and complex treatments. But what if toxicants in our foods are a major culprit, one that, if corrected, could lead to tangible results and increased health? Using patient accounts of their clinical experiences and new medical insights about the pathogenesis of chronic pediatric disorders―taking us into gut dysfunction and the microbiome, as well as the politics of food science―this book connects the dots to explain our kids’ ailing health.
What’s Making Our Children Sick? explores the frightening links between our efforts to create higher-yield, cost-efficient foods and an explosion of childhood morbidity, but it also offers hope and a path to effecting change. The predicament we now face is simple. Agroindustrial “innovation” in a previous era hoped to prevent the ecosystem disaster of DDT predicted in Rachel Carson’s seminal book in 1962, Silent Spring. However, this industrial agriculture movement has created a worse disaster: a toxic environment and, consequently, a toxic food supply. Pesticide use is at an all-time high, despite the fact that biotechnologies aimed to reduce the need for them in the first place. Today these chemicals find their way into our livestock and food crop industries and ultimately onto our plates. Many of these pesticides are the modern-day equivalent of DDT. However, scant research exists on the chemical soup of poisons that our children consume on a daily basis. As our food supply environment reels under the pressures of industrialization via agrochemicals, our kids have become the walking evidence of this failed experiment. What’s Making Our Children Sick? exposes our current predicament and offers insight on the medical responses that are available, both to heal our kids and to reverse the compromised health of our food supply.
Listen To Episode 231 As Dr. Michelle Perro Uncovers:
How she teamed up with local moms in her area to put an end to pesticides being sprayed in their city.
How educating herself on GMOs completely transformed the way she saw foods and practiced medicine as a pediatrician.
How parents, doctors, and educators can help children heal their digestive issues by ensuring they eat healthy, nutritious, organic foods.
What changes we can make as a society to help not only feed the world but nourish everyone in it.
Why the idea that GMOs increase the number of yields is completely false and actually end up decreasing the yields.
How organic farming can actually feed everyone, nourish the planet, and combat climate change.
Why it's no surprise that the majority of people have leaky gut issues with all the GMO grown and processed foods that we find everywhere.
How genetics, epigenetics, stress level, and nutrition intake affect our leaky gut syndromes on various degrees.
Why our children are now sicker than ever before and 1 out of every 2 children (adults as well) has a chronic disease.
What's really going on when people take part in these gut health tests and what they can do with that information.
Are gut health tests actually necessary or can we just begin to make changes now through an elimination diet?

Power Quotes From The Show
"Can you be the parent who brings oranges to the soccer game and not cupcakes? Can you be that mom or dad? You be the model for change. It begins with you; don't pass it on to somebody else." - #DrMichellePerro on @wellnessforce Radio episode 231 wellnessforce.com/231
"Organic farming isn't only doable but it can feed and heal the planet. As regenerative farming and organic soil remove CO2 from the earth, they also nourish the planet and combat climate change." - Dr. Michelle Perro
"We have been molded into complacency believing that we're going to be taken care of by the food industry. We've come to falsely believe that they have our best interests at heart and nothing could be further from the truth. They're adding increased processed fats, salt, toxic colors and dyes for you to buy more food and increase their profit; they're not doing it for your health" - Dr. Michelle Perro
"Western medicine has been so beneficial for health; however, it has to be expanded to care for and assist with these chronic health issues that we're seeing because of what we've done to ourselves. Let's not attack western medicine but expand it. We can have a medical curriculum for healthcare practitioners that isn't only based on the pharmacy industry but based on nutrition or supplements and herbal medicine when needed. Herbals have been around for thousands of years. We need to expand our thinking; not contract it. We need to be positive; not negative. I don't say get rid of western medicine; I say expand it to include many forms of healing." - Dr. Michelle Perro
Michelle Perro, MD, is a veteran pediatrician with over thirty-five years of experience in acute and integrative medicine. More than ten years ago, Dr. Perro transformed her clinical practice to include pesticide and health advocacy. She has both directed and worked as attending physician from New York’s Metropolitan Hospital to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland.

074 Jake Ducey: Creating The Life We Love
01:10:55
"Everyone can relate to sitting in a spot and you don't feel like you're supposed to be there and you're meant for something more. You could be 45 years old sitting at a desk in an office and you feel like you're selling yourself short and you've been lying to yourself your whole life about who you are and what you're capable so you're just limiting your dreams." -Jake Ducey
We've all experienced a moment when we're not happy with our life. We've reached a moment when we know we need something else to become who we're truly meant to be. However, it can be difficult to know where to begin and how we can accomplish our goals.
Today,three-timed publish author, speaker, and leader, Jake Ducey, shares how we can create a life that we love.
To get started on living a fulfilling life, Jake will explain how the subconscious mind works to help our intuition, how to identify and own our vibrations, and how to live a life that we love.
Take Advantage of Your Subconscious Mind
To be successful and live a life that you love, it's all about living a life that you feel good about. To do this, you must listen to your own thoughts and senses.
Unfortunately, many people are limited by their mindsets and their emotions are controlling their thoughts. Not only is it important to understand how our thinking process works, but how we can use our subconscious to our advantage.
The unconscious mind is a wonderful thing and it acts as a filtering device for outside reality.
Outside reality can be anything from thoughts about love, body image, money, or career that we hear from other people, the public media, and even Facebook. And these pieces of outside reality create barriers that keep us from listening to our inner reality and intuition.
Once you begin to listen to your intuition and emotions, your inner vibrations can tell you the truths about who you are and who you're meant to be.
Learn to Listen to Your Inner Vibrations
"When you disconnect from your senses, you get in touch with a deeper vision. You can see your life and who you want to be and who you're supposed to be. You can hear the intuition and the soul and the heart speak to you in a faint voice that you can't really hear because the noise of the world is so loud."-Jake Ducey
Thoughts from the outside world can keep us down, but so can our own senses and emotions. When we're controlled by different senses and emotions, we become unfocused. Things that we want like good grades in school or a higher salary send vibrations and senses that control our every move.
By disconnecting from outside noise and really listening to our emotions, we can tune in to what our unconscious thoughts and energy vibrations are telling us. In the end, you come to realize that the truth relies in your own reality.
What creates reality is yourself and not your senses nor vibrations.
Change Your Life with Visualization
"If you hold a vision within yourself, two things can happen: You eventually give up or you start talking to yourself about how it's not going to happen or it's not happening."- Jake Ducey
We think in images, not words. If you can control the images within your head, then you can control your mind and essentially your life. But sometimes, outside thoughts and images can create roadblocks. These images can be anything from what we see on the news, from social media, to a chat with our coworkers.
Fortunately, you were born with this powerful mind to create whatever you want to create. Don't listen to what other people tell you what you can and can't do.
Visionaries don't accept the outside world and they don't allow it to hold them back from doing what they want to do. You have to think of what you want to think. Don't fill yourself with negativity and everything that's going on in the outside world.
Block out the outer world. focus and believe in your inner world more.
First Steps to Create a Life That You Love
Create a life that you love by setting goals for yourself and give a new meaning to things in your life such as your education or your career.
Another way is to increase your own value and don't change what you do. Stick with your job and work on being more comfortable with yourself and the tasks that go along with your job. You can increase your value and not change what you do by growing your skills and increasing your self-image.
Accomplishments like that can help you grow in your career and start you on a path a position that you love, a new company to work for, or a better salary.
It's not where you are in your career, but the meaning that you give to your career and the value that you create from it.
To move forward in your life, what do you want to create?
People such as Jay-Z, Steve Jobs, the Wright Brothers didn't listen to the outside world. Instead, they were so ambitious and successful because they had these inner visions and images. Their inner world helped them become who they wanted to be and do what they wanted to do with their lives.

041 Dr. Andrew Hill: Unlocking Our Best Self Through Nootropics
01:08:13
What long term positive effects can nootropics give to our busy lives? Can new breakthroughs in cognitive neuroscience help us attain the focused state of attention to meet the demands of our busy modern world?
Andrew Hill, PhD, is a lecturer, scientist, explorer, and also the lead neuroscientist at TruBrain. Today on the show, Dr. Hill and I discuss everything from frontal lobes to biofeedback, and more.
Focused Attention
Improving focus and efficiency is the greatest weapon for ambitious people looking to accomplish more. In today’s connected 24/7 world, clocking more hours in the office no longer provides the same unique advantage that it used to.
To become more efficient, you first need to understand your equation for productivity. This equation starts with the human brain and how your brainwave states dictate your output. Because we measure brainwaves, we can actually quantify what happens in the brain when someone is in a focused state.
Want more focus? Use code "WELLFX" for 25% off all truBrain products
Cognitive Neuroscience
Dr. Hill holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA's department of Psychology and continues to do research on attention and cognitive performance. He is the Lead Neuroscientist for truBrain, an LA-based mental performance company, as well as the cofounder of Alternatives Addiction Treatment.
He lectures at UCLA, teaching courses in psychology, neuroscience, and gerontology,and has recently opened a peak brain performance center in Los Angeles named the Peak Brain Institute.
From a storied perspective, Dr. Hill’s road to being a neuroscientist has been the ultimate heroes journey: In the past, he’s worked on a farm, in technology sector, in mental health facilities, and many different previous careers that give him a unique understanding of how humans behave and what holds them back, and the science of how brain health can literally change lives.
Currently focused on developing tools and technologies to help everyday citizens enhance their cognitive performance outside of the lab---- as the lead neuroscientist at TruBrain, an LA-based mental performance company, Dr, Hill is the founding director of Alternatives Behavioral health AND the Alternatives Brain Institute.

063 Karan Bajaj: The Purpose Driven Life
01:01:01
On this week’s podcast, New York Times Best-selling author and striving Yogi,Karan Bajaj,shares how sabbaticals, vipassana meditation, and living in his dharma has helped him create more power, clarity, and purpose in his life and for millions of readers.
The Purpose Driven Life
The sad reality is that only one out of every three Americans are now reported to be very happy. It's no surprise that on the wrong road, we can find ourselves feeling disconnected from our passion, discontent with where we are, and craving a shift towards a more purpose driven life.
In our journey, we may do many things to find purpose again including changing jobs or in finding temporary satisfactions through "weapons of mass distractions," like alcohol, food, and even the wrong relationships.
To find a purpose driven life however, Karan plants the seed of thought that what we may need to do is simply create the time to focus on what we truly desire throughyoga,meditation, andsabbaticals.
To be able to feel more content with yourself and where you are in life, Karan guides us to the focus of stripping away your emotional materialism.
How to Strip Yourself of Emotional Materialism
Emotional materialism is defined by Karan as“constantly wanting to become something or someone better.”
A person who focuses on emotional materialism is someone who is incessantly looking for growth within jobs, social circles, and experiences in order to become “someone better,” all without ever feeling good about where they are. They believe that once they have become that "better person" or achieved something bigger, only then will they be truly happy.
This however is the exact opposite of how to become content with who we truly are.
After we strip ourselves of emotional materialism, we become more selfless. After we become more selfless, we can see ourselves as the best medium for carrying out our work; the magic of contentment is that it doesn’t even matter if that work fails.
To a Yogi, the most important thing is that they are a vessel that carries out their work.
But how do we begin this process of changing our mindset and not focus on becoming something else, but on who we are right now? How can we truly strip ourselves of emotional materialism and become selfless?
Karan suggests three powerful steps: Learn, Reflect, and Meditate.
To be content, you must do all three consistently over time.
In order to allow ourselves to simply just “be,” we get to learn through secondary resources such as books and people, reflect on those learnings, and finally experience what we have learned through meditation.
Finding Contentment in Your Life
It is obvious that if you are consumed with negative thoughts about where you are, then you won't be able to lead a life of happiness.
Many people believe that true contentment is found in reaching the "moment" from when they get from Point A to Point B. Ironically, their current purpose might just be where they currently are right now; between Point A and Point B.
"Instead of focusing on how to get from Point A to Point B, you must pause for a moment to give yourself the space to help you feel content with yourself, which will lead you to find your purpose." - Karan Bajaj
If you rush yourself and forget to learn, reflect, and meditate, you won’t be able to take the powerful moment to pause for thoughts such as, “I am what I am. I’m where I’m currently at in life, and I’m going to be the best me that I can be.”
Karan teaches to not rush life, and rather take it one day at a time to see where it can lead you.
How To Prepare For A Sabbatical or Meditation Retreat
In the process of Karan living out his dharma, he realized that he didn’t need to spend time following radical goals, but rather to enjoy "being" and discovering his true path through meditation.
To help do this, Karan has taken two, one year long sabbaticals.
He calls this the 4-1-4 rule. Work for 4 years diligently, take one year off, then return for 4 more years. However, not everyone can take an entire year away from their work, family, and life to spend on reflecting and meditating.
Some people follow a 7 -1-7 rule by working 7 weeks and then taking a week off. Karan also suggests taking short, meaningful vacations by spending time in new environment or doing a 10-day meditation retreat.
By letting everything familiar go on a sabbatical, you get to dissolve your habits and cyclical thinking so that you can start anew again on your return. The only true prerequisite for a meditation retreat is that you welcome it with an open mind and have an acceptance for you and those around you.
You may be thinking that doing a sabbatical or meditation retreat such as Vipassana can be a scary experience. You may even question whether or not it will be easy for you to let go of society's conditioning and commit yourself to focusing on meditation for so many days.
These worries are very common for people who are new to meditation retreats, but embracing this fear and going through the threshold can be a life-changing experience.
About Karan Bajaj
Karan Bajaj is a #1 bestselling Indian novelist with more than 200,000 copies of his novels in print, both optioned into major films. Karan's first worldwide novel, The Yoga of Max's Discontent, will be published by Random House on May 3rd' 2016.

Q + A: Attachment Styles | Are You An Anchor, Wave or Island?

Ok, I digress... listen to some other podcasts to hear my own personal story, but when it comes to your personal story right here right now... here's the truth: you and I are loved, we are supported, and we are on the right path.
So if you are looking for a longer form guest interview, click on any of our Tuesday shows and check out our shows on Thursday as well where I take one concept that might be complicated and I break it down simplistically with actionable steps you can take in your life.
Make sure that you are following me at @joshtrentofficial on Instagram so you get notified when a Q+A is coming up so you can post your questions.
This Q+A is really special because someone asked a question that is going to take 10 minutes of strong wisdom and experience to explain so today we are going deep into this question from audience member "PressentMV" who asks:
"I'm healing my childhood trauma... I already feel like I've healed so much until I get into a relationship and I'm back at the beginning. Why are romantic relationships so triggering?"
Romantic relationships can be both fulfilling and challenging. While they can bring us joy, love, and companionship, they can also trigger deep emotional wounds and insecurities. So why are romantic relationships so triggering? Let's explore some of the reasons.
We open ourselves up to another person, share our deepest fears and desires, and allow them to see us in a way that we may not show others. This vulnerability can be scary because it means that we are risking rejection or judgment.
When our partner responds in a negative way or doesn't reciprocate our feelings, it can trigger feelings of shame, worthlessness, and fear.
Secondly, romantic relationships often involve attachment styles that stem from childhood experiences. Our early life experiences with caregivers shape how we view ourselves and the world around us.
If we had secure attachments with caregivers who were responsive to our needs as children, we are more likely to develop healthy attachment styles in adulthood.
However, if we experienced neglect or abuse as children, we may develop insecure attachment styles that lead us to have difficulties trusting others or forming close relationships.
A great example of this, and a big guest on an upcoming podcast is Dr. Stan Tatkin, the author of "Wired For Love."
So make sure you subscribe at JoshTrent.com/Podcast on your favorite player or the player you were listening to right now!
4 Attachment Styles In Relationships
Dr. Stan Tatkin is a clinical psychologist and author who has developed the theory of attachment styles in adults. His work focuses on how our early experiences with caregivers shape our adult relationships.
There are four attachment styles that Dr. Tatkin identifies: secure, anxious-ambivalent, avoidant, and disorganized.
Each style is characterized by different patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in relationships:
Secure attachment is characterized by a positive view of self and others, trust, and the ability to be emotionally intimate.
Anxious-ambivalentattachment is characterized by insecurity, clinginess, and anxiety about abandonment.
Avoidantattachment is characterized by a negative view of self and others, distrust, and the inability to be emotionally intimate.
Disorganizedattachment is characterized by an incoherent or contradictory view of self and others, fearfulness, and chaotic or unpredictable behavior in relationships. (OCD)
Tatkin's work has shown that our attachment style can have a profound impact on the quality of our adult relationships.
His theory can help us to understand why we behave the way we do in our relationships and how we can change our patterns to create healthier, more fulfilling connections with others.
Island Attachment Style
Individuals with an island attachment style typically prefer solitude and independence. They may have difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships because they fear being hurt or abandoned.
Islands often value self-sufficiency and may withdraw emotionally when they feel vulnerable.
Wave Attachment Style
Those with a wave attachment style tend to be emotionally volatile and crave intimacy in their relationships.
They may experience intense highs and lows in their emotions, seeking closeness one moment and pushing their partner away the next. Waves often struggle with feelings of insecurity and may need frequent reassurance from their partners.
Anchor Attachment Style
The anchor attachment style is characterized by stability, security, and trustworthiness. Anchors are reliable partners who value commitment and loyalty in their relationships.
They have a positive view of themselves and others, which allows them to form healthy attachments without fear or anxiety.
Tatkin's expanded attachment styles theory acknowledges that individuals can exhibit different attachment styles depending on the situation or relationship they are in.
For example, someone who is typically an anchor may become a wave when they feel threatened or insecure in a particular relationship.
Why You Need To Understand Your Partner's Attachment Style
Understanding your own attachment style can help you navigate your relationships more effectively. It can also help you recognize patterns of behavior that may be holding you back from forming deeper connections with others.
By identifying your own needs and communicating them clearly to your partner, you can build stronger, healthier bonds that last a lifetime.
Thirdly, romantic relationships can trigger past traumas or unresolved issues. We may have experienced painful breakups or betrayals in past relationships that still impact us today.
We may also have unresolved issues from childhood that resurface when triggered by certain behaviors or situations in a current relationship.
Lastly, romantic relationships often involve expectations and unmet needs. We may have certain expectations about what a relationship should look like or how our partner should behave.
When these expectations are not met, it can cause frustration and disappointment.
Additionally, if our basic needs for love, validation, or affection are not being met in the relationship, it can trigger feelings of insecurity and inadequacy.
So what can we do about these triggers in romantic relationships? BREATHE. Use the code "PODCAST33" for 33% off.
It's important to recognize our own patterns of behavior and communication styles that may be contributing to the triggers. It's also important to communicate openly with our partners about our needs and expectations so that they are aware of them.
Additionally, seeking therapy can provide a safe space to explore past traumas and attachment issues that may be impacting current relationships.
Therapy can help individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms for dealing with triggers as well as provide tools for better communication and conflict resolution.
In conclusion, while romantic relationships can bring great joy into our lives they also have the potential to trigger deep emotional wounds and insecurities within us.
By recognizing these triggers and seeking support when needed through therapy or other resources such as self-help books on healthy boundaries one can learn how to navigate these challenges effectively leading towards happier healthier connections overall.
Be patient with yourself and celebrate your successes along the way - healing takes time, but it is possible.

"If you look at the amount of people that capitalism has pulled out of poverty, as measured by countries that have actually instituted it as opposed to taken it away, the numbers don't lie. There are huge issues with it but it is the only one that we can categorically say continues to lift people out of poverty. I think what we actually need to do, we need to export more people into ownership." - Codie Sanchez

"A lot of humans are acting without skin in the game because they don't have equity, upside in their job, or don't own any assets. They don't have things to lose so that becomes the tragedy of the commons which is when everybody's responsible for somebody and nobody takes care of it." - Codie Sanchez
Put On an Armor
"In order for us to succeed through life, we need to put on armor. And the armor in my case is often the exact opposite of what people think it is. It's a reminder of all the things that I've been able to overcome over the years. When difficult things happen to you, if you can alter them, you can really move forward in a way that nothing really hurts anymore." - Codie Sanchez
Contrarian Thinking
"If you were to go out to a group of 100 people and ask them: "Do you think that you think well?" The answer of most people would be "Of course, yes." And that's why we're crazy on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram because we don't actually question our ability to frame our own individual thoughts which is a huge mistake. The smartest, richest, happiest people I know question everything, including themselves. They question most themselves." - Codie Sanchez
Codie Sanchez is the founder and CEO of Contrarian Thinking, a critical thinking and financial media company with over 3 million subscribers and 100 million views a month.
She also runs Contrarian Capital, a small business holding company that does $50 million in annual reviews and a venture fund focused on infrastructure for main street businesses.
Codie is a former private equity investor across Latin America, Cannabis, and micro-private equity deals. She started as a journalist and now sits on the boards of the Permian Capital Hedge Fund, Magma Partners Chilean Venture Fund, and E-commerce Fuel Investment Fund.
144 RockTape Founders: Healing Yourself With Movement, Mobility, & Stability w/ Steven Capobianco & Greg van den Dries
00:23:33
Although most of us aren't training for the Olympics, we can still go for gold in our everyday activities. - Greg van den Dries
Whether you're an Olympic athlete or a weekend warrior, we can all go for the gold every day by increasing our capacity for movement and reducing our pain and risk of injury.
Today we are live with Intelliskin at "Rock Stock 2017" with Greg van den Dries & Steven Capobianco, Founders of RockTape, as they explain how kinesiology tape and their various cutting edge tools are helping us increase our physical and emotional intelligence as we begin to move and fell better.
Their elastic therapeutic tape and flagship product, RockTape, recoils in when applied to the skin and creates a biomechanical lifting effect which pulls the skin away from the underlying tissue. This lifting effect from the tape has 2 main functions. It stimulates skin receptors that communicate with the brain and reduces pain and increases your body awareness. Also, fluid dynamics are improved as skin is pulled away from the tissue to improve blood flow and swelling.
Welcome to the future of IASTM. RockBlades are comprised of two precision-engineered and manufactured soft-tissue instruments: a “Mallet” and a “Mullet,” RockRub emollient, sanitizing wipes, and a quick-start guide to form a complete IASTM system.
Every detail of RockBlades – each edge, angle and contour – was carefully cultivated and refined over the course of two years.
Say hello to your new IASTM all-star, Mohawk. Perfectly sized and weighted, with an expertly-crafted shape featuring exclusive compatability with our silicone sleeve and ABS/Polycarbonate comb to enable thousands of new treatment possibilities.
Hand polished treatment surfaces, combined with a perfectly balanced and weighted core, make it a joy to use day in and day out.
Matte-finished dimples, four on each side, ensure positive traction of the tool during treatment. Each side and treatment edge is unique – both in shape and radius.
The Mohawk’s non-treatment faces are laser-engraved with RockTape’s manifesto pattern.
RockFloss is a new, reusable mobility tool that can help you move better and with less pain.
RockFloss is a simple, latex, elastic band that fits easily in your gym bag or backpack. It’s easy, convenient and reusable, and available in 2″ or 4″ widths.
RockFloss uses the science of compression and fascial shearing to help ‘unstick’ muscles and joints so they move better and with less pain.
Greg loves of running, cycling and swimming have contributed to a variety of minor sports injuries, and one of those injuries required physical therapy. The PT treated him and he finished the session by applying some tape to his leg.
When he asked if this was the same tape he had seen during the Olympics, the answer was yes.
Greg was skeptical about the tape, but after a week his injury was healing nicely and he also noticed that his legs felt pretty good after a long ride. He started doing more research on the tape’s effects and that’s when he discovered that the tape can be used to enhance performance. (Going stronger, longer…)
After trying the tape on friends and family with good results, he got excited and talked to a number of companies about buying and selling the tape. The response Greg got was frankly, crazy: no one wanted to sell him tape unless he became “certified” in their specific taping methods. It was their way of making the tape more exclusive and expensive. He decided there had to be a better way to get this great product into the hands of those who needed it, so Greg located a source, modified the formula and formed RockTape.

Why he’s been spending lots of time outside in nature with his family during 2020 and why he suggests we all do the same.
"If you look at the data, the individuals that are disproportionately affected and have a more likely severe outcome. They have multiple comorbidities and chronic conditions that can be ameliorated and helped with diet and lifestyle change but this has not been part of the narrative which has been really frustrating. So, of course, the government and organizations have been saying that their approach has been all about health and 'staying safe' yet there's really no proactive, preventative measures being communicated from 'the powers that be.' Guidelines from these organization that explain how to support our health from breathwork to optimizing sleep to losing weight to exercise to stress management - none of those things have been prioritized by pretty much anyone until the World Health Organization finally came out to share the data on this in September 2020 that I've been talking about since March 2020." - Mike Mutzel
Why Lockdowns Are Bad For Your Health
"On the individual level, I really think that the biggest unintended harm that we're doing to ourselves is social isolation. We know that social isolation's impact on our health is on par with smoking. I see a lot of depression amongst my clients that is reverberating and causing deleterious health outcomes from weight gain to diabetes. We are tribal creatures and lockdowns are not good for your blood sugar and what is paradoxical is that they are making people more susceptible to severe outcomes. This 'treatment' is increasing the probability that when people are exposed, they're going to suffer more severely from the disease that we're trying to prevent them from getting." - Mike Mutzel
Enough With The Fear-Mongering
"Enough with all of the fear-mongering; we need to empower people because fear-mongering just makes you more controllable and it doesn't empower you to make more intentional decisions about how to improve your health. So, we need to help people shift their attention and realize that they have to start taking care of their health. Start exercising and if you're afraid of being around people - take off your mask and go for a walk. The risk of outdoor exposure transmission is really low. We need to do things to help empower people and wake them up. I feel that the people that are the most scared and the most convinced that they're just going to die from this virus if they ever get exposed to it are the very people that are not meditating or doing any spiritual type of work; they're just believing in what this authoritarian state is telling them to do. The more intentional people can be about their health, the less fear they're going to feel." - Mike Mutzel

The Call For Etheric & Western Medicine To Work Together
"I have tons of respect for Western medicine and we need to work side by side. Etheric and western medicine are complementary to each other and we both need one another. People will go have something cut out of their body to heal the physical but nobody is paying attention to the fact that it's still in the etheric and so it just duplicates again such as with recurring cancers. We don't understand that there is such a desperate need for healing emotionally so we're being woken up more and more with illnesses and poor mental health. We put so much on the physical body it's really the only way to wake people up." - Bobbi Vogel
What Is The Etheric Body?
"We have both the physical and etheric bodies. Our soul comes in with our etheric body first and then our physical body is a hologram of it. The etheric body is a light body and it takes in both the good and the bad physical and emotional trauma including what we're taking in from the environment. As an example, an emotional wound will come reverberate into the etheric and then the physical body as an illness but we're not paying attention to what our light, the etheric body needs because most people don't know that we have one; we think that this physical body is it." - Bobbi Vogel
The Truth That Spirit Will Reveal
"If you think that you know what the problem or the wound already is but it's still there, then that isn't it. That's the beautiful thing about Spirit is they actually know what the core thing is and if we just ask for the answer they will reveal it and it's never what people think it is. It's hard sometimes for people especially if they just want to hear that everything is amazing because the truth will be uncovered on our behalf. However, if you don't really want to know what that is and you kind of want to sidestep it, you can't. That or you can get off the Zoom call, walk out of here, and not do any of the work because that is absolutely your choice but you will get the information. This is real work and the purpose of our wounds is to bring us to faith and learn self-love which will lead us to self-worth." - Bobbi Vogel
Bobbi Vogel is a Purpose Guide, Speaker, and a Clairvoyant, Medical Intuitive. She is guided to work in different ways with each person to assist in breaking down, softening and clearing dense, toxic energy. Spirit works through her in a very unique way, it cannot be explained with mere words. This is energy medicine.
Bobbi's Work With Etheric Medicine®
In Etheric Medicine®, when they (spirit) deem it beneficial for healing, she will share evidential details of the trauma/event which has Imbedded itself in the energy body. The word trauma seems to assume an outwardly devastating event for most people. In this work, trauma describes an event, whether we deem it big or small, conscious or unconscious, physical or emotional which left behind a toxic imprint on our etheric body.
How Etheric Medicine® Can Help You Heal
Over time, if left unattended, the toxic density builds up in our etheric (energy) body and can create chronic illness and/or chronic pain in our physical body. This is also the cause of persistent emotional pain. Healing returns us to our natural state of light vibration, we are essentially light. When we remember this, we understand that using medications to cure illnesses does absolutely nothing to clear our etheric body, which is the origination of physical/emotional illness and pain.

088 Dan Pardi: How To Find The Health You’re Looking For
00:56:00
"Knowing without doing is the same thing as not knowing. What matters is if the knowledge that you have will give you an effective health practice for the long term." - Dan Pardi
There is power in knowledge and with the right health and wellness information, we can make the right decisions in accordance with our own needs.
This week, entrepreneur, researcher, and developer of Loop Model to Sustain Health Behaviors, Dan Pardi, explains Self Determination Theory and motivation, the human connection, and his latest project, humanOS to help us find the best health information.
Find The Health You're Looking For
"You have more control over your health than anyone else." - Dan Pardi
There are many sources out there that claim that they have the answer to all of your health problems, but they truly don't. These novelty, quick fix methods, products, and services may look appealing, but they aren't sustainable for long-term health results.
To find the best help for your health needs, you first have to clarify your own health problems. Rather than trend hopping by focusing on what you just read in the latest health magazine about a new diet, research and find out for yourself what your body needs.
It can be so confusing with so much information out there in books, magazines, and the internet. However, sources like humansOS, that Dan and his team are putting together, help us find the best, most credible sources of information.
Truth vs. Fiction For Health Research
In a recent interview on humanOS radio with Dr. David Katz of Yale, Dan mentioned:
“As well-intentioned as someone might be, I frequently find myself getting frustrated, not when somebody’s passionate and wrong about an issue, but when people can be overly confident and dismissive of mainstream medicine’s consensus in favor of their own opinion which can often associate with their own financial reward.”
Once you have a proper perspective and mindset, you make good decisions for yourself. It's better late than never to embrace your responsibility to find the best method and motivation for you stay true to yourself and progress your health journey.
One challenge we all face today is the fight against the modern lifestyle. We used to be hunters and gathers, but today we're consuming high processed foods and sitting around too much at home.
An unhealthy lifestyle doesn't only lead to chronic disease, but can impair our daily performance and relationships as well.
All the technology in the world won't help you, but you can use the power of technology to fight back against misinformed studies to do your own research.
Begin Your Own Research
To ensure that you are finding the best information out there, look closely at who this researcher is and what their study is all about.
Who are they associated with?
Do they declare their method?
Do they offer a too good to be true solution?
If this source appears to provide a quick fix, be careful.
OR
Do they have a realistic perspective?
Does their method clearly explain how it will help?
Is their research comprehensive?
Does their campaign have an overall, large framework.
Once you've found a legitimate piece of information on health, how can you incorporate it into your daily life?
Try to clarify the problem that you're trying to solve.
Find the right ideas that can help you.
Understand those ideas deeply.
Turn those into health and wellness skills.
Maintain those health skills for life with good information.
Human Motivation
"Our job isn’t to motivate other people, it’s about creating the condition in which people can motivate themselves.” - Dan Pardi
Self Determination Theory - (SDT) is a theory of motivation. It is concerned with supporting our natural or intrinsic tendencies to behave in effective and healthy ways. SDT has been researched and practiced by a network of researchers around the world. The theory aims to understand motivation by looking at the core categories of human needs:
Physical, which is things like thirst, and hunger, and sex.
Psychological, which is the desire to be competent in anything but particularly things that are important.
Autonomy, which speaks to the notion that we like to have freedom to determine our own path.
Social needs, which is the sense of belonging to a group, recognition from others, and even the sense of power in your own life.
Controlled vs Autonomous Motivation
SDT is a behavior model that tries to understand what human motivation is. Motivation has many different categories that can be placed into two different groups: Controlled Motivation and Autonomous Motivation.
Controlled Motivation
Controlled motivation is caused by external rewards such as a prize for accomplishing a goal. But you can also be punished by having something taken away from you if you don't complete the goal or feel guilty for not accomplishing it.
Autonomous Motivation
Autonomous motivation is when a person is compelled to do something because the activity takes on some personal importance or it becomes a part of the person's belief system and it even becomes part of the person's identity.
Your not motivated by external rewards, but you do something because it's a part of your identity and who you are as a person.
Dan gave a great example that someone who has controlled motivation runs for the physical reward. However, a person who has autonomous motivation will run in the rain despite all rational thinking because exercise no matter what is part of who they are.
Using humanOS to Your Advantage
As a mission, humanOS helps people master their health.
Understanding that this is necessary is actually critical to one's success of long-term help.
Why?
Because all the technology in the world won't be healthy for you. The technology can't just be available, you have to pick it up and use it and you have to use it the right way. HumanOS helps you benefit from the worlds best health technology and health information.
How did you make humanOS so clear and easy to use?
Explain why something is really worth your attention compared to something you shouldn't really pay attention to.
Some untested therapies claim to have the ultimate answer for everything, but they're not validated.
Having mindfulness or awareness about health can put you in a better position.
If more people are aware of their own health and what works and what doesn't, we'll become a healthier community overall.

Barton Scott | Heavy Metals + Hair Mineral Analysis: The Simple Health Test That Reveals Your Hidden Deficiencies
01:30:22
You have to have the minerals to have the hormones in adequate supply, demand, and consistency. If you don't, then you'll externally experience weight gain, hair loss, and other poor results. Internally you'll have malaise, low energy, fatigue, brain fog, and poor sleep rhythms. Really any physical symptom is going to be in part dictated by this world of minerals because it's the elemental world that we're built of as humans. This is why people get sick early and this is why disease exists. Disease doesn't exist when cells have the nutrients they need. - Barton ScottAre You Stressed Out Lately?

Power Quotes From The Show
The Growing Concern About Heavy Metals
"When we talk about a thousand years ago, even a few hundred years ago, we had a lot fewer pollutants in the atmosphere and in the air that we breathe. I know a lot of people point towards plastics and those are certainly harmful; however, what's even more of a concern are heavy metals because they stay in the body longer and they're more toxic." - Barton Scott
Breaking Down Hair Analysis vs Blood Work
"When you look at even a half-inch of hair, it has a thousand times more data than a day's worth of data with blood and it's an overall better experience. A hair analysis test is so simple and if we tried to do all of these different studies we would have to take a lot of blood and some people aren't comfortable with that. Hair analysis tests are measured twice in the labs we work with which you get a much more clearer representation of what's actually happening. Secondly, the cost is another advantage. It would be expensive because you wouldn't have a ratio like with hair analysis but try to do them all yourself. In addition, you wouldn't have the ratios of minerals to heavy metals which is important because certain minerals can push out heavy metals and that is the safest way to detox." - Barton Scott
Minerals Are Daily Essential Nutrients
"Long before considering something like hormone replacements, why don't we just supply the body with minerals? Your body cannot make minerals. They have to come in daily because we're just not holding onto chromium or magnesium. Minerals are essential nutrients; so, even if you're fit, healthy, have a good community, and live in a safe space - like I was, you could have severe deficiencies that need to be addressed. Especially regarding nutrition; no matter what diet you're following, you need to know that it will change over time because your nutritional requirements will change over time as you age and your lifestyle shifts." - Barton Scott

Power Quotes From The Show
"You are the CEO of your health and all change starts with people speaking up. Slowly but surely that becomes a movement against the current healthcare industry" - Adrienne Nolan Smith
"All of us deep down know when we don't feel whole and we don't feel like we're really on the right track to living our best life or preventing and reversing from chronic illness when it might arise. It's important to do the work to arrive at a place where you feel whole and are able to experience everything that life has to offer from joy and movement to relationships and self-love." - Adrienne Nolan-Smith
"You are the CEO of your health and all change starts with people speaking up. Slowly but surely that becomes a movement against the current healthcare industry and we truly have no choice because if you look at the rate of this chronic disease epidemic, it's just skyrocketing and there are no signs of it slowing down." - Adrienne Nolan-Smith
"The conventional healthcare system loves scores, charts, and tests. So, I'm sure they could come up with some way to create a quiz or a test to score emotional intelligence if they haven't done so already. You can use those results to help any practitioner, doctor, or insurance company to understand the baggage that people with illnesses are holding onto as well as the fact that they're not self-aware or very emotionally intelligent to be able to work through what they're going through." - Adrienne Nolan-Smith
"It's absolutely worth investing money into helping people quantify their emotional intelligence, understand their thoughts and feelings, and unpack what's inside. Sure it may take time to see trends and quantified results but I believe that anyone who invests in holistic health will see the impact of certain activities that either worsen or improve one's health." - Adrienne Nolan-Smith
In her personal and professional experience, Adrienne Nolan-Smith has seen how integrative health and wellness are key to preventing and reversing disease. When she was 11, Adrienne was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Her conventional doctor prescribed antibiotics, but they didn’t work and her mother was then told there were no other options. Two years and multiple integrative therapies later, Adrienne was Lyme-free. Over the years, other health issues came up and each time it became clear that conventional doctors had tools to treat her symptoms, but they never got to the root of the problems, nor did they really try to cure them.
In 2010, Adrienne lost her mother to suicide while she was on antipsychotic and antidepressant medications to treat schizoaffective disorder. At that point, Adrienne knew she needed to completely switch careers and began working for a healthcare technology company, hoping to fix the system from the inside. After several years working with hospitals, she realized that, until wellness is the standard of care, the current chronic disease crisis would only continue to rise. She also realized that until people demand wellness from their doctors, their brands, their employers, their governments and ultimately, from themselves, nothing will change. Adrienne founded WellBe to facilitate this change by helping you get and stay well, and demanding a system that supports you in this endeavor.
Adrienne received her BA from Johns Hopkins University, her MBA from the Kellogg School at Northwestern University, and is a board-certified patient advocate (BCPA). She lives in New York City, where she was born and raised. Adrienne gets WellBe with acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and eating (mostly!) clean, real food.

062 Brett Hoebel: Finding Strength In Your Struggle
00:57:05
On this week’s podcast,celebrity trainer ofNBC's The Biggest Loser season 11,Brett Hoebel, discusses how we all can discover our unique healthy life, why our struggle can be our greatest gift, and how we can get clear on the choices that will truly make a difference.
On this show, Brett shares his own story about when he experienced his own “Fitting Point” moment as a teenager. This would be a key moment in his life that led him to find his new, inner strength to overcome his struggles with poor nutrition.
Without knowing it then, this new lifestyle change and a passion for fitness would lead him to have a career that he loves as one of best known trainers in the health and fitness community.
In a world where we follow busy schedules that can include a family, a career, and other commitments, it can be difficult to find the time and motivation to fit in a good workout.
Living a healthy lifestyle can be even more difficult if we’re battling inner demons that keep us from being the best that we can be both inside and outside the gym.
How To Find Fitness From Within
The reality is that if you force yourself to exercise or eat healthy foods without the right passion for it, you will always see changing your lifestyle as something negative. With this attitude, you will view these changes as something that youhaveto have happen and not what you trulygetto let happen.
At some point, you will see a lifestyle change as something positive when you finally find a personal connection to fitness. This connection gets to be be something that moves you forward on an emotional level.
It can become very tiresome and boring to do the same exercises week after week. To change it up, Brett recommends finding something that truly energizes you and makes you excited to live a fitter life- in or outside the gym walls.
Brett, for example, really enjoys taking the time to do Salsa dancing classes before getting into his workout.
Takeaway: Do whatever works for you to make you happy and feel motivated!
Discovering Your Fitting Point
As easy as it may sound, finding your passion to live a healthy lifestyle is not always so simple. Life comes with so many different obstacles and curve balls that can stop us or put us off track from exercising, eating nutritious foods, and enjoying living healthy.
Even Brett went through many struggles as an overweight teenager. He was involved in many sports growing up, but would overeat unhealthy foods with gluten and sugar that were against the diet he was supposed to be following. In denial of his emotional eating disorder and at rock-bottom, he had a sudden revelation and found his“Fitting Point.”
The Fitting Point is when a person has found a moment in their life when they find inner strength and realize a change needs to be made for them to become healthy. This change may be trying to schedule a time to workout out more or, like Brett, stop eating unhealthy, processed foods and eat more natural foods.
Identifying Your Life Passion
It can be a long journey to discover what drives you to be excited about living healthy.
Similarly, you may also face different paths and interests by attending different classes and switching careers before you truly find a major or job that you can be passionate about each day.
When Brett began college, he was not doing as well as he had hoped to do and just wasn’t excited about what he was studying. With some advice from his father, Brett decided to change his major to Pre-Med because he really loved studying science. By changing his major, Brett was finally excited about his classes and had the motivation to do better in school.
This switch greatly helped Brett, but he soon found out that a Pre-Med major was not his true calling because it lacked the human interaction that he really enjoys. With another revelation, Brett discovered that fitness was his true passion. This would eventually lead him down a new path to his successful career as a fitness trainer.
We will all go through some difficult moments in life when we don’t feel passionate about what we’re doing. But if we dig down deep and think about what truly makes us happy, it will lead us to something that we truly love.
It can take time, sometimes lots of time, but when you find your calling, you will realize that everything that led up to that moment helped you along the way and the journey was worth it.
More About Brett:

Save 10% on Force of Nature!
Force of Nature is on a mission to improve our environment and health through regenerative agriculture while answering the community's call for food raised in a way that truly aligns with their values.
The term “regenerative” means that the agriculture systems in which this food was raised honor the systems within Mother Nature. We care for the soil, respect diversity in plants and animals on the land, and focus on natural outcomes versus synthetic inputs.
That means no tilling, no synthetic chemicals, no hormones or antibiotics, and beautiful, wide-open spaces. The result is what you expect.
Disrupting the Big Food Industry
We spent the last decade studying regenerative agriculture at ranches all over the world before we answered the community’s call to launch Force of Nature.
Never before has a company founded on the principles of regenerative agriculture, curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet.
Our mission is to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network, to justify our supplier partners’ efforts on the land, and to offer consumers the awareness and the ability to vote for a system that aligns with their values.
By reclaiming the legacy of meat, we will benefit all stakeholders of the planet and restore regenerative principles to their rightful place as the keystone to our agricultural system.
Regenerative Farming is Better
Meat that is more delicious and nutritious than anything else you can buy, including organic and traditional grass fed.
Animals that are raised with honor in their respected natural environments, eating foods they are supposed to eat.
A quality of life for ranchers and their communities that has been lacking for decades in the conventional system.
A proven solution to our climate challenges with the power to sequester carbon and prevent many of the environmental disasters we face today.

Power Quotes From The Show
Omnivorous Truth: Starving with Our Bellies Full
"As a culture, as a species, we are starving with our bellies full. We are seeing plummeting fertility rates, chronic diseases, obesity, and children are dying. That is why we should all be caring and having this conversation that looks directly back at our food and the land on which everything is dependent upon." - Taylor Collins
Revealing Food Industry Lies
"Big Food, Big Agriculture, Big Oil, Big Chemical, and Big Pharma are all tied together in our food system and they support the left side party, the right side party, and all that flow of money says, 'Don't mess up this machine.' If you look at what's going on with social media and the internet as they try to censor conversations, we need consumers to break out of their mold and become independent thinkers to stop allowing themselves to perpetuate the myths and the lies that they have been fed for years and to look at what's really happening in the food industry. A value meal at Chic-fil-A is more expensive than buying regenerative protein and whole vegetables to make a meal together as a family." - Robby Sansom
Healing with Regenerative Ranching
"If my wife was still vegan today she would either be dead or in a wheelchair. We ditched the vegan diet and began to eat in an evolutionary consistent manner. Within days, years of symptoms we had just went away." - Taylor Collins
Robby Sansom | Co-Founder / CEO / Land Steward at Force of Nature Meats
Taylor Collins | Founder of EPIC Provisions, Practiced Land Steward
Roam Ranch is located in the heart of the majestic hill country, roam ranch sits on 600 acres of awe inspiring river bottom land on the outskirts of Fredericksburg, Tx.
Started by first generation farmers, Katie and Taylor's journey into ranching was based on a vision to positively impact large-scale agriculture through producing nourishing food that improves the lives of animals, enriches the health of consumers, and regenerates the land on which we depend.
Like much of the world, this once-fertile region has been industrially farmed for the past 100 years.
Through persistent tilling of soil, planting of monoculture row crops, and overgrazing, ROAM Ranch was not capable of producing food upon its purchase. Land in this condition is often deemed "unsalvageable" and in many circumstances further degenerates with rest- but we are going to prove otherwise.
Force of Nature Meats partners with regenerative ranchers to bring you the best meat on the planet, for the planet.
With the intention to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network. Never before has a company founded in the principles of regenerative agriculture curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet. Force of Nature now exists to give consumers the ability to vote for environmental regeneration by consuming meat that is actually good for the planet.

[01:45] Honoring Mothers
Today, I would love to be able to go into the depths of motherhood. Now I'm not a mom and I never will be. And by the way, never will anyone with an XY chromosome. It just won't exist.
Men are biologically different and different because we're here to serve a purpose that we can honor in other episodes. Of course, I'm here to honor fathers. I'm a father. But today I really wanted to give grace and respect and homage to mothers.
This world that we live in, Mar, there is so much propaganda and so much really conditioning from the media and let's just call it out for what it is, the woke mind virus that Paul Levy described as Wetiko or the mind virus that native Americans as a projection of the darkness of self, either individually or collectively.
And I feel like what we're experiencing with RFK coming to the helm and the health awareness that's gonna sweep our nation at least, and that's gonna trickle over into Europe, is just this ownership of nature and an ownership of self. That just feels so good to say out loud.
The fact that mothers are going to have even more spaciousness to be real mothers in America and in Europe and everywhere. But it starts with narrative, it starts with belief...
[05:10] Tap Into The Motherly Love
Yes, this is a podcast for mothers. This is also a podcast for women who have mothers. And by the way, if you're here, you have one. They're either with us or, you know, they've transitioned to another dimension, another life.
And so I just want to honor my mom to start this. And so wherever you're listening, just put your hand on your heart and just feel the warmth of your heart in your hand.
And just, if you're driving, just pull over or if you're walking in the park or whatever you're doing, and just close your eyes for a moment and just feel the warmth of your hand on your heart.
And I want you to go on an imaginary timeline way back to when your mom first put her hand on your heart. And just feel how loved you were then. Because she loves you the exact same way now.
She loved you before you were born. She loved you when you were just an emanation of a star seed. She's loved you since the time you took your first breath.
And you are loved in the exact same way by your mother, whether she's here in physical form or not, you are so deeply loved by her. And just trust that that's real.
And just take a cold breath with your hand in your heart just feel the warmth of your mother's hand on your chest, penetrating through your skin, going all the way down to your heart.
And just be grateful that you are here, that you've had a mother who loved you enough to birth you into this world that didn't get caught up in the propaganda that my body, my choice means reckless sex and hedonism and multiple abortions.
Just be grateful that you're here. And also just have compassion in this moment your mom. My mom struggled with bipolar the majority of her life. It still does. And medications are really just for energy and expression that couldn't come out, that didn't have the space or the courage or the safe place to come out.
And a lot of moms that deal with bipolar or emotional issues or choosing abusive husbands or choosing dads that choose to leave, all of this, all of this, all of this has nothing to do with the fact that your mom loves you so much that she into this world.
She carried you in her body for so many months so that you could draw your first breath. And just let that for a moment, just let that be enough that you're loved so much that you were gifted life through a woman.
And just how special that is, how incredibly sacred and beautiful that is, and just hold that in your heart and take a big deep breath and breathe it out.
And maybe this is just the one piece of gratitude you could have today, the fact that you were born and your mother loved you enough that she'd carry you in her body and bring you into the world. And now just send that love to your mom wherever she is.
Maybe she's with you, maybe she's still here, maybe she's left the planet. And just say thank you, mom. Thank you, mom, for doing everything that you've done so that I could eat, so that I could nurse from your breast, so that I could be nourished by you.
And just feel how special it of a mother and that your mother has always done the best she can with the level of consciousness and awareness that she's been brought. Because this is the ultimate truth.
You don't need a strategy, you don't need a PDF, you don't need the top 5 ways to love your mom. Just connect with the same heat in your hand that rests on your heart mom touched you for the first time when you were born. And just let that be enough for a moment.
And just let the power and the love of that wash over your entire nervous system and just say thank you mom, thank you for being there for me, for taking care of me when I was sick, for loving me when I didn't know how to love myself, for showing me all the ways that I could express myself with joy, or for teaching me by its opposition because I always wanted to experience joy and you showed me the way that I could not experience it.
So thank you for its opposite. Because regardless of the trials and the tribulations that we have with our mothers, the fact is that they loved us enough to bring us here.
And so, when we have attacks on motherhood and when we have gender dysphoria and vocabulary and nomenclature that are supposed to be for everyone. Well, I'm here to tell you if you stand for everything and everyone, then you fall for anything.
And I think what's most important when we talk about this conversation of truly honoring mothers, it is to just give homage and respect and reverence for what it really means to be a mother. This selfless, caring, nurturing, beautiful being with her own imperfections that were gifted to her by her mother. It's just so beautiful.
So instead of fighting against gender dysphoria or fighting against this narrative, which really is you feeding it, Stand for motherhood and stand for women instead. Because if we keep fighting what words can you use to describe breastfeeding?
What words can you use to describe a mother? A mother is a mother. That's it. There's nothing else. Yes, it's biological, but it's also God-given. It's also from nature...
[20:10] Let Go of The Story You're Telling Yourself
When we're young, we have such an underdeveloped ego that we think there's something wrong with us. We think that our parents loving us in the best way they know how, which by the way, most of them weren't loved by their parents either. And I say most because it's most.
That we create stories to cope that were not lovable, that were not accepting or worthy of love. And it's all a lie. It's a complete fabrication that the ego creates to make sure that we can tough it out as a lone wolf and make it alone. This is why the hashtag boss babe, boss bitch exists.
And this is why all the men that have millions of dollars in their bank account still have an empty heart. It's because in their core, they don't actually feel worthy of love and they don't know how to give that love because don't have it to give.
So it's these small exercises today where we just honor mothers, just let go of all the fucking story for like 1 minute and just love her and forget all the projections and all the trauma and all the wounding and just imagine what it's gonna be like if God gives you a child that you can hold against your breast and how special it'll be for you to put your hand on that child and how much done as a woman to be able to show up for that child so loving and so imperfect yourself, which is probably the same thought your mom had.
When she brought you into the world, she probably said, Mary Padileno, my mom, probably said, I'm gonna love this child, I'm gonna be the best mother, I'm gonna do anything I can for this baby. And then their stuff came in. But see, the difference between us and them is that we are empowered with such radical knowledge that they never had access to.
This podcast brings that, our conversation brings that. So if anything, call your mom. Call your mom today and tell your lover, you don't even have to get into the stories because they're there, right? And you'll get to them.
But call your mom, send your mom a text, send your mom a card, connect with her, love her because society only wins this narrative of society where mothers are chest feeders and mothers don't exist and gender doesn't exist. That narrative only wins if we feed it, if we fight against it.
It's like Paul Levy says, the seed of Wetiko has encapsulated within it the solution to the very virus itself. Always, always, always, encapsulated in every question is the answer. So when we say, how do I love my mom? I've been through so much trauma, she didn't love me the way that I wanted.
How do I love my mom? You just love your mom. It's in the question itself. So how do I do the work on myself so that I can pierce through all the generational bullshit that's gotten the way that she put on to me from her mother and then from my great great and then from my great because all that stuff lives in our body.
A really great teaching from this is the Paul Chek episode that's coming next week, where he said that Carl Jung states that the unfinished business of parents will be finished by their children.
And it's true on a cellular level, on an energetic level. So yeah, I mean, it would be great if our moms could hang out in a shop and just laugh and hug each other, and we could hug them, and just having these moments of healing, having these moments of somatic connection without story, Without all the stuff that's there, because we know it's there. It's there.

Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are the only beef sticks in the USA made from 100% grass fed/grass finished beef and organic spices that are naturally fermented.
Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year.
The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients.
Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy.
Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s.
Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight.
Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

139 Dr. Roger Mignosa: Integrative Wellness In The Modern World
00:29:01
True healing calls for an integrated approach to our physical, mental, and emotional wellness. - Dr. Roger Mignosa
From head to toe, we are all highly connected and comprehensive human beings. The physical and mental aspects of our life affect each other in powerful ways and the seemingly separate systems of the body are actually heavily interrelated.
Knowing that these different aspects of our well-being all correlate, why is it that so many health care professionals still operate with a reductionist mentality, focus on localized symptoms, and fail to appreciate and examine the entire chain of events that could help lead to the real root cause of our issues?
Today we are live at RockTapes's "Rock Stock 2017" with Dr. Roger Mignosa, Osteopath, Ironman Triathlete, and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Specialist, as he explains how we can recover and heal the body and mind through holistic and integrated wellness. His approach to health care puts the patient at the center and addresses the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect a person’s health.
Listen To Episode 139 as Dr. Roger Mignosa Uncovers:
Maintaining our mental and emotional fortitude during times of physical injury or trauma
How stress and emotional baggage can manifest into pain, injury, and other physical symptoms
Why we need to develop a holistic approach to our health and wellness
The problem with isolating and treating localized segments of the body
The lack of nutritional training offered in medical school
Closed-minded doctors and failed attempts to heal Roger's high school injuries
His realization that there was a nutritional and exercise component to his healing
Meeting Dr. Tim Brown who helped him recover after addressing his breathing, posture, and deeper physical issues
The healing methods and philosophies of traditional vs. integrated medicine
Why our breath is crucial for recovery and restoring normal movement patterns
How varying the location and intensity of exercise will build a more adaptive nervous system
The impact of having human connection and support systems during times of healing and recovery
How to truly address our health issues and avoid using band-aids to cover up our symptoms
The highly connected systems of the body, and why we can't touch one area without affecting another
Why we must jump in the driver's seat and taking control of our own health
How stress impacts the body's ability to heal and recover
Finding a medical professional who is open-minded and willing to listen
Power Quotes From The Show
"Wellness comes from having a number of mental and emotional tools we can draw from when faced with challenges and adversity." - Dr. Roger Mignosa
"No one cares what letters are behind your name, they care if you can help them with their problem." - Dr. Roger Mignosa
"Medicine is more than going to a doctor, having them fix you, and then going home. Medicine is agriculture, social policy, community, and all things that contribute to your social structure and environment." - Dr. Roger Mignosa
"We are connected and comprehensive human being and reductionist thinking is keeping us from discovering the deeper root of our issues. " - Dr. Roger Mignosa
"As doctors, we need to throw our egos out the door and build a system that fosters and rewards collaboration." - Dr. Roger Mignosa
Academy of Integrative Pain Management
MISSION: To Improve the Lives of People With Pain by Advancing a Person-centered, Integrative Model of Pain Care Through Evidence-Guided Education, Credentialing, and Advocacy
For almost 30 years, we have been, and still are, the only national professional organization dedicated to advancing the integrative pain care approaches that now define “best practice” in the National Pain Strategy published by NIH.
We define integrative pain management as a model of care that is patient-centered; considers the whole person; encourages healthful lifestyle changes as part of the first line of treatment to restore wellness; is evidence-based and brings together all appropriate therapeutic approaches and clinicians to reduce pain and achieve optimal health and healing; and encourages a team approach.
The Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine is a society and global community of professionals and health seekers. AIHM provides innovative education, training, leadership, interprofessional collaboration, research, and advocacy that embraces all global healing traditions, to promote the creation of health and the delivery of evidence-informed comprehensive, affordable, sustainable person-centered care.
The Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine (AIHM) emerged in 2013 as a solution to our growing health care crisis. The formation of the AIHM is a bold response to a call to action for change — to transform the way we think about health and health care. The Academy is home to a broadening international community of healthcare practitioners, health seekers, and advocates connected by a shared holistic philosophy of person-centered care. The AIHM community recognizes the link between our health and the state of the planet and deeply considers the social determinants of health and the quality of our relationships to ourselves and one another.
One irony of the integrative health care movement is that while there is an increasing abundance of integrative practitioners, they often operate separately from one another. Interprofessional communication, collaboration, education and team-based care are at the heart of the AIHM’s mission as we unite the many voices in integrative health and medicine to transform health care together.
Dr. Mignosa had the opportunity to transform his own experience with injuries and pain through an integrative approach to healing. During his teenage years, he was an avid athlete who battled constant injuries. Eventually, a surgeon told him that he should quit running. At the age of 16, Dr. Mignosa rejected this opinion and questioned the mindset of how medicine treats disorders of structure and function. Instead, he embraced a mindset of building health and focused on educating himself on health and healing.
In his own rehabilitation efforts, Dr. Mignosa employed exercise physiology, nutrition and positive psychology. Due to the determination to heal, he returned to running on the Cross Country team in high school, joined the swim team in college, and earned status as an All-American Triathlete and Ironman in graduate school. It was these events that led Dr. Mignosa on the path to medical school and a career in medicine.
Dr. Mignosa was a Regent Scholar at the University of California, Irvine, where he earned a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry and Biochemistry. He became an Ambassadorial Scholar for Rotary International and was awarded a scholarship to attend the University of Queensland, Australia where he earned a graduate degree in Clinical Exercise Science. Upon returning to Orange County, he led exercise physiology programs at hospitals and wellness centers. He attended medical school at Touro University California where he became a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. Under a grant from the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP), Dr. Mignosa conducted research at Stanford University on quality of life with severe physical trauma. Dr. Mignosa completed residency training at the University of California, Los Angeles with a specialty in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R).
In addition to clinical practice, Dr. Mignosa greatly values medical education. While Dr. Mignosa was still in medical school, he began lecturing at the University of Arizona, School of Medicine, Center for Integrative Medicine and has been doing so since 2011. He continues to lecture at medical schools, present at national and international medical conferences, and serve as a consultant to medical professionals.
Dr. Mignosa lives an active lifestyle as he runs, swims, cycles, and surfs and implements his own practices of postural correction, foundation training, and body mechanics. He seeks to help people who struggle with pain and love to move. Dr. Mignosa is passionate about advancing the field of medicine towards sustainable practices that are safe, affordable and effective.

Power Quotes From The Show
reVessel's Mission
"reVessel was born out of the recognition that I'm not here for me, I'm here for something that's so much bigger than myself. It took so many moments of feeling broken down to realize that I had to rebuild myself in a way that served others. So, the focus of serving others who are ready to be served is now applied to every single thing we do through the company." - Jessica Bell
Taking Life Outside Of The Kitchen
"Life isn't just at home and the Adventure Kit allows you to continue living your life. I didn't want to be just confined to a kitchen and the only thing I do is meal prep and cook because then I don't get to go experience my children's' tournaments, trips with my girlfriends, and events out in the world. I wanted to extend those precious moments and bring others the same experience." - Jessica Bell
A New Generation of Conscious Capitalism
"As part of conscious capitalism, we're right alongside with this new generation of brands that are committed to being more responsible, support non-profits that are doing great work, give back and give more to others, and use business as a way to help heal this world." - Jessica Bell
Looking Beyond The Convenience Of Plastic
"How does plastic enter our system? How does it enter our food chain? Most of us are mindless consuming; I have, I've been there too. It's easiest here and now to just buy, drink from, and chuck away a plastic water bottle but you're not thinking beyond what that looks like for your children, their health, and their environment." - Jessica Bell
Recover Faster: FITAID RX ZERO (Sugar Free + CREATINE)
Recovery Blend is Keto-friendly, with the same clean ingredients and essential nutrients you love in FITAID ZERO. With 1,000mg of Creatine to help you build muscle while your body recovers after intense physical activity/exercise with zero sugar. (Sweetened with Monk Fruit & Stevia)
Whether you need a sugar-free alternative to post-workout recovery with the added bonus of Creatine for your muscles, you are counting macros or you just want a Keto-friendly option that tastes great, FITAID RX ZERO is perfect for women and men. Recommend to drink an ice-cold can immediately following your next WOD, exercise or training session.
For Jessica Bell, change begins within. Jessica is devoted to changing the course of human and environmental health by using business as a force for good. Through witnessing others close to her and her own health journey, Jessica discovered that human and environmental health is far from a priority in our current industrialized system.
Having recovered from autoimmune illnesses, she believes that it is far more convenient to recover health and maintain it than to accept illness resulting from food, lifestyle and ubiquitous environmental toxins. Her study of food systems and environmental toxicity exposed food as a common denominator in both the disease, climate, and pollution epidemics. Jessica’s uncompromising belief led her to develop practical ways for others to live a mindful and healthy life without foregoing the exhilarating opportunities of modern day.
Climate neutrality along with donating a portion of proceeds from sales to regenerative organic agriculture and combatting ocean plastics are only the beginning. Jessica is crazy passionate about optimal health and laser-focused on shifting the course for a healthy next generation, 46% already facing chronic disease. This takes her from business development into the daily lives of children developing curriculum and executing school garden workshops focused on regeneration and interdependence in a larger system.
Sharing garden education, practical cooking skills, and resources to foster connections to real food is pure delight. Jessica is a member of the conscious capitalism movement, a graduate from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a background in marketing, product development, and project management and a mother of two nutrient-dense boys trailblazing the way for their peers to lead a healthy life.
About reVessel
Based in San Diego, reVessel is a sustainable brand focusing on designing morally conscious products to better prepare, store, and carry food without compromising the environment or our values. Co-Founders and husband and wife team, Jessica and Eddie Bell created the company based on their own health and wellness quests and a mutual desire to have better options to bake, freeze, store and travel with their food to the office, their children’s school, sporting events, the beach, and on their roadtrips.
Crafted alongside a team of deep sea and underwater mechanical engineers, reVessel's products are tested to be leakproof and submersible. Additionally, each unit is reusable, modular, toxin-free and eco-friendly, replacing the 500 sandwich bags the average American consumes each year. These containers add functionality to meals and a convenient way to develop healthy habits that frees us from relying on outsourcing food and single-use plastics while reducing exposure to toxins so that we can fully live.
reVessel hopes to spark a ripple effect of healthy and sustainable change.

The Hero's Journey
John's story is powerful beyond words. From his site, we find an incredible hero's journey through thresholds of being celibate for 9 years while traveling with the Maharishi Mahesh, sleeping on a beach homeless with two college degrees, to becoming the most sought after relationship expert in the world and writing the best selling book of all time. More from John's story page below:
"In 1978, John’s brother asked him for help from a mental hospital. His brother had suffered from bipolar disorder and he was struggling to find happiness. John had encouraged meditation for him in the past but it did not help. So John left the Transcendental Meditation movement and Maharishi and returned to the United States to try to help his brother get out of depression.
John ended up in Los Angeles, California hoping to find the cure for his brother’s bipolar disorder. Los Angeles had become a hot bed of new therapies like Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Neuro-linguistic programming, Hypnosis, Scientology, Primal Scream, EST, insight Seminars, Rebirthing and Loving Relationship Trainings. But first he had to find a place to sleep.
John was homeless and living primarily on a beach in Santa Monica. He spent his days at part time jobs and reading psychology books in the public library. “I had 2 degrees but not much work experience on my resume. I was good at meditating for hours, teaching yoga and living simply with peace of mind,“ remembers John, "But those things couldn't pay all the bills back then." Every couple days, John saved enough money for a hotel room where he could take a shower and sleep in a bed. But most nights were spent on the beach.
John recalls one night sitting by a fire on the beach with a dozen other homeless men, trying to teach them about God and their true purpose in life. “They said to me, ‘John, we love listening to you, but we have no idea what you’re talking about.’ I knew I was in the wrong place and need to move on. This was definitely not my audience,” recalls John......"

064 Craig Ballantyne: Beating Anxiety To Create Your Perfect Day
00:53:38
On this week's podcast, Productivity & Success Transformation CoachCraig Ballantyne, stops by the show to talk about how to beat anxiety to create your perfect day. Craig is a fitness expert and the author of the groundbreaking fat loss workout systems,Turbulence Training, andHome Workout Revolution.He has been a contributing author toMen's Healthmagazinesince 2000 and has been the editor of the personal development newsletter,Early to Rise, since 2011.
Understanding Your Own Anxiety
Suffering from anxiety shouldn’t make you feel like a black sheep.
In fact, many people that you know may suffer from someform of anxietybecause 40 million Americans (18% of population) that are over the age of 18 face it each day. Some of these anxiety disorders include panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, or major depressive disorder.
To beat your anxiety, you can change your mindset today.
On this planet, every minute counts and in order to get the most out of each day of our lives, we have to get in the rightmindsetto take it head on as best as we can bychanging our habits.
Just like a fitness transformation, we need to make specific changes in order to see a mindsettransformation. A new mindset transformation won’t only help us beat anxiety, but it will also help us become more goal driven and productive as well.
In order to complete this mindset transformation, we can follow what Craig callsThe Perfect Day Formula.
How to Follow the Perfect Day Formula
According to Craig, in order to begin following the Perfect Day Formula, we need to do The 3 C’s each day:
Controlthe morning
Conquerthe afternoon
Concentrateon what really matters
The First C: You have the greatestcontrolof your day during the morning hours.
Before you leave the house, your morning is your time tofocuson how you can get ahead in the day.Even if it’s just for 15 minutes before everyone wakes up, you control everything that you do.
Start your day on apositivenote to help you feelenergizedand focused with less stress by reading the newspaper, drinking some coffee, or watching the sunrise. Do anything that will help you clear your mind.
The Second C:Conqueryour afternoon with the 5 Pillars of Personal Transformation.
Life is extremely unpredictable and anything can happen at the drop of a hat to throw us off course from our perfect day. Fortunately, with the 5 Pillars of Personal Transformation, we can betterprepareourselves for any emergencies, negative thoughts, orfeelingsof anxiety that may come our way.
The 5 Pillars of Personal Transformation
Plan and Preparefor any obstacles or emergencies that come into your life.
Professional Accountability:Look to someone to hold youaccountablefor your actions and bring out the best in you.
Positive Social Support:Who are your cheerleaders? These are the people that are always there for you and will help push you to do better.
Meaningful Incentive:Have a big enough reason for why you’re doing what you’re doing i.e. for your children or your health.
The Big Deadline:Set a deadline for the big and small goals during the day.
"A goal without a deadline is just a dream." - Craig Ballantyne
The Third C:Concentrateon what really matters by creating a vision for yourself
In order to truly focus on your dreams, you need to create a vision for your life.This will help you understand where you want to go, how you want to get there, and help you make the right decisions overall. For the majority of us, that means creating structure in your life, but a lot of us don’t like structure. So what can we do?
If you know exactly where you want to go, you can get there without any distractions when you follow your own rules.
Instead of seeing structure as something that is holding you back from having the freedom to make your own decisions, structure can be extremely liberating. How you may ask? Well, isn’t following your own rules a lot easier and less stressful than following someone else’s orders?
Why Your Perfect Day Starts With The Goodnight Formula
The 3 C’s begin with taking control of your mornings, but the real magic begins that night before with Craig’s10-3-2-1-0 Goodnight Formula.
Your Perfect Day already begins 10 hours before you go to bed when you should be refraining from drinking any type of caffeine. Some people may be able to drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages at night, but for the majority of us, it can really affect our sleep cycle.
As the day continues on, at 3 hours beforehand, you should not eat any heavy meals or drink alcohol.If you go to bed with alcohol in your system, you will most likely wake up feeling even more tired than you did the night before.
To help you begin to relax more and not be stressed before you sleep, you should stop doing any type of work activity 2 hours before bed. At 1 hour left to go, it’s time to put away the electronics, turn off the TV, and avoiding looking at your phone’s screen.
Whether or not you had a great night’s rest, zero is the number of times that you should hit the snooze button in the morning.If you allow yourself to fall back into a sleep cycle, it will be even more difficult for you to get up and enjoy your 15 free minutes to take control of your perfect day.
How To Know If It’s Time For You To Change Your Environment & Relationships
Whether they realize it or not, our friends, family members, and coworkers can sabotage our formula for a perfect day.
When we’re trying to create the perfect day for ourselves by following the 3 C’s, the Five Pillars, and the Goodnight Formula, we can face different challenges. To get through them, we need to have the best support system that we can possible have from the people in our lives.
These are that people that are there for you no matter what with their love, support, and kindness. Unfortunately, they can also sabotage us sometimes.
To move forward and grow, we may have to change our environments.It may not be forever, but if you have a goal in mind, you may have to change your schedule and your activities to reach your goal. You don’t have to leave people behind, but this may also mean that you have to change theenvironmentyou’re in if you truly want to see yourself improve each day.
If you’re in a toxic relationship that does not allow you to grow in anyway at all, you might have to give the gift of goodbye. That way, you can create space to allow new people into your life who will support your goals and hold you accountable for them.
What Not To Do During Your Perfect Day
When we face anxiety, we may follownegative habitsthat are holding us back from having a perfect day. Craig gave us so much great advice on what we should be doing to beat anxiety and create a perfect day, but he also has a Do Not Do List of what we should not be doing:
Do not hit the snooze button.
Do not check your email first thing in the morning.
Do not answer all phone calls.
Do not mindlessly surf the Internet.
Do not waste time arguing or gossiping.
Do not consume food or drink that makes you tired.
These are some good tips to help you create a perfect day, but what about your own unique list?
How can you be less distracted and more productive during the day?
Take some time to write down what you’re doing each day and discover when you’re distracted and when you’re productive during the day. That way, you can create your own Do Not Do List andfocus on the most important tasks you need to complete during your productive time.

Power Quotes From The Show
"Words create worlds. That's why the phrase is called, 'Casting spells,' because you're spelling things into reality. But when you use airy-fairy language or talk about vibrational quantum nonsense, you turn off people. You have to meet people where they're at and demystify the mysticism because science is catching up with what the ancients knew. If you can find ways to transform that into being more unrelatable, that will help so many people on their wellness journeys." - Jennifer Sodini
"My biggest heart intention is to find a space and to create experience and content that makes people feel at one with everything and everyone. I want to help people be able to converse with somebody that maybe they perceive as their opposite with an open heart. I want to allow people to be who they are without trying to expect anything more." - Jennifer Sodini
"We're in an interesting time where so many of us don't even know what reconnecting to our soul means. We don't even know that we have a soul as spiritual beings and discovering that is so important. When we realize that, we find out that we're so much bigger, important, and powerful than we've ever realized." - Jennifer Sodini
"Forgiving ourselves is a constant process but would you treat a child the same way that you treat yourself? Would you speak to a child with such critical, harsh words? This child is your core essence and pure being so don't hurt, harm, or speak to your inner child with such negative words." - Jennifer Sodini
Jennifer Sodini is an author, public speaker, and the founder of the conscious media platform Evolve and Ascend. Through her travels and research, she has visited some of the world's most sacred esoteric places including Egypt, Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan.

Dr. Katherine Zagone | Clockwize: The Missing Link Between Biological Age + Birthing Children (Fertility is Not What You Think)
01:44:14
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 626
What can you do to boost your fertility + optimize your genetics pre-pregnancy?
Dr. Katherine Zagone, Naturopathic Doctor and Co-Founder of Clockwize, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 626, to shed light on infertility; how infertility can be reversed, what role your biological age plays in conception, and why it's essential to optimize your health if you're planning to have a baby.
"Women are waiting longer to conceive and it's not necessarily that they have more chronological years, they've just had more years on the planet of high stress and toxin exposure. And in a lot of ways, those are reversible." - Dr. Katherine Zagone

"Everything we eat, drink, breathe, touch, think, and feel is affecting our fertility either in a positive or negative direction." - Dr. Katherine Zagone
Cleanse Your Body from Toxins
"Clockwize test looks at your biological age so that you can start making the right choices to stop the toxic exposure. And then if there's anything else that needs to happen to help get toxins out of the body because they impact not only conception and pregnancy, but also the baby's health for the rest of their life." - Dr. Katherine Zagone
What Is Infertility?
"Infertility diagnosis is just saying that you had timed intercourse for 6-12 months and were not able to conceive. It's really no information and oftentimes it's confusing and disheartening. There's a lot of other things that can be explored and a lot of things that impact the cellular health that directly impact fertility." - Dr. Katherine Zagone

AMA: ADHD Myths, Freedom Focused Care + Somatic Therapy For Marriage
00:48:23
Wellness + Wisdom Episode 623
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host and Wellness Force Media CEO, Josh Trent, shares what practices you can use to deal with problems in your relationship, why the world needs freedom-focused care, and the myths you're being fed about ADHD.
Jackeline: "When you are going through the crazy cycle over and over again, you keep having the same issues and you want to reach out for help, but you're looking for something that's maybe more somatic over talk therapy. Is there anything that you would recommend for that? It would be great to know. Thanks a lot."
Dr. Stanton Hom: "Being someone who is a combat veteran, somebody who has seen his friends die in combat, I sit here in the wake of this four-year psychological operation.I'm curious what you think is the key right? The powers that be, those people pulling the puppet strings behind the systems, behind your doctors, your public health officials, your legislators don't care about you, are bringing the war to our devices and are bringing the war to our children. What are some of the top things you believe must rise to?"
Dana: "How come ADD or ADHD drugs are still being used to make a child or an adult and make may not be the right word but to perform or conform to society so the child can sit down at a desk why not have more outside time. I do find it interesting that those drugs are still being used and I feel, to be wrong, that those drugs lead to other later on in life. So why or how come are they still being used and promoted?"

Listen To Episode 623 As Josh Trent Answers Your Questions
[03:40] Somatic Therapy For Marriage
Let's hear what Jacqueline has to say.
Hey Josh, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all you do and for all you share. My question is dealing with a relationship with marriage.
When you are going through the crazy cycle over and over again, you keep having the same issues and you want to reach out for help, but you're looking for something that's maybe more somatic over talk therapy. Is there anything that you would recommend for that? It would be great to know. Thanks a lot.
Okay. First of all, amazing question because who can not relate to that, right? Whether you've been in any relationship ever, or whether you're in a 5, 10, or 20-year marriage, these are all really important things to figure out how do we create the most loving place here?
How do we get to the most loving place within ourselves first? It is true nature, don't you agree Mar, that our partner is our teacher.
In other words, our triggers are invitations for us to look at what bothers us about ourselves. Have you felt that in some way?
100%. It Played out in a relationship that I had a couple of years ago in a way I didn't expect and never wished for but in the end, it showed me the things that I needed to look at and wasn't willing to look at Until I was completely forced to so yeah, they're definitely a teacher Yeah, Jacqueline.
I feel you so I'm I'm not in a marriage per se, but I'm in a five-year sacred union on its way to marriage at some point. And I also want to share with you, marriage is a construct that was brought to North America from a place that wasn't fully loving.
The original meaning of marriage I think, and I'm going to answer your question here, was to pass land and title.
We talked about this in an upcoming with Mark Groves and Kylie Macbeth where we really explored, not just the etymology of the word marriage, but also the origin of marriage.
So with that as a speaking point, as a jumping-off point, it's really important to go back to before you were married. Start with the end in mind, but also identify how you started the thing, whatever the thing is. So we're talking about marriage, a sacred relationship.
Think about if you could take a deep breath and just close your eyes right now. If you're in your car driving, don't do this, like pull over, but close your eyes, take a deep breath, and float 30,000 feet above your entire life.
And look at the most significant points in your marriage or in your relationship, go all the way back to the beginning, Jaclyn. Remember how you felt in your body and in your heart when you met your man, when you fell in love with him when you started to cultivate trust, and when you started to understand that he was the one you, and go back to that.
And feel in your body right now what it felt like then. Just take a moment, put your hand on your heart, put your hand on your stomach, take a big deep breath through your nose, feel your belly. Exhale, a couple more times while you're listening. And just know that that is still there...
[18:15] Freedom-Focused Care
Let's get to the next question. Okay, this next question is from Dr. Stanton Hom, who was a guest on the podcast and he's such an amazing chiropractor just freedom, I don't wanna say freedom fighter cause he's a freedom advocate, right? Whatever we fight against, we fuel.
So he's a great freedom advocate. He's an incredible father and podcast host. Make sure you check out Future Generations. Let's hear from Stanton.
My brother Josh, Dr. Stanton Hom here, future generations. I feel like I've been on a 3-and-a-half, 4-year deployment. Being someone who is a combat veteran, somebody who has seen his friends die in combat, I sit here in the wake of this four-year psychological operation.
I feel very blessed that you and I have had several conversations illuminating many of the sources, many of the root causes, but also many of the ways that humanity has responded in the most inspiring ways, but also in some of the most in many respects negligent or absent ways.
I'm curious what you think is the key right? The powers that be, those people pulling the puppet strings behind the systems, behind your doctors, your public health officials, your legislators don't care about you, are bringing the war to our devices and are bringing the war to our children. What are some of the top things you believe must rise to?
Wow, talk about a bomb drop question. Let's unpack it slow because... So Dr. Stanton is talking about what we've experienced in North America, which is, you know, USA and Canada.
But what happened in 2020 with the lockdowns and the COVID theater and the outsourcing of our own agency autonomy happened globally. And I'm sure you felt it as well, Mar wherever you were. And the way that I think we can start this conversation, it's quite nuanced would be, what are the actual facts that don't have anything to do with a narrative of interest?
What do I mean by that? The facts are that we are all feeling this interstitial tension. And I know we feel it all the time, whether it's government or policy or politics or finance or control or permitting at how many things we have to go through just to drive a car, just to own a home, just to be a human being in this world.
And quite frankly, what's really hard to swallow is that the United States of America, as well as all countries, are actually corporations.
Now, this is something you can easily search for. It is not the common narrative. So I'm gonna present things that I know, Stanton, you're on board with, but it's going to be very uncomfortable to hear.
All of us are being monetized at all times. We're being monetized at all times, specifically through 2 vehicles, anxiety and depression. And so really Stanton, the bulk of your question is where do we go from here and what do we get to focus on from here?
We first get to identify that these anxiety and depression, energy and motions, these energies we feel, they're actually our protectors.
And we talked about this last week where, you know, Mar, I think you even asked me, should we rename the title?
Because is anxiety and depression really self-love or is it something else? And it's a paradox because anxiety is a focus on the future. It's a fear of the future.
Depression is a rumination or a saturation of the past, shame, blame, what I could have done differently, did I fuck it up, blah, blah, blah.
And we're never gonna get out of these energies completely because it's what fuels human experience. In a way, it's the gas that fuels the car that is us. And so I think what we really get to do is take a deep breath.
And again, I love this analogy of floating above our timeline. Look at how you felt in 2020, in 2021, and even in 2022. And even now you still see these people wearing double masks in their cars, driving on the freeway alone. We have been indoctrinated by a narrative that is not for our good.
I'm not here to be fearful. I'm not here to paint this morbid picture, but that was a wake-up call for all of us. It was a massive wake-up call for us to take stock of exactly what is most important to us. And unfortunately, I think we felt the same. It's like people chose to cower...
[34:10] ADHD Myths
Let's go to our final question. Again, this is not medical advice. This is from Dana, and Dana is asking a very beautiful question about ADHD in children.
How come ADD or ADHD drugs are still being used to make a child or an adult and make may not be the right word but to perform or conform to society so the child can sit down at a desk why not have more outside time. I do find it interesting that those drugs are still being used and I feel, to be wrong, that those drugs lead to other later on in life. So why or how come are they still being used and promoted?
Oh I've seen parents brag about their children being on these medications like hey don't you want your kid to you know go with it too?
And it's like haven't we learned things don't work. You see a bunch of adult dysfunction in the world. I feel like intuitively we all know the answer to this. Right? Like I'll throw it at you Mar. Intuitively, don't you already know the answer to her question?
Intuitively, possibly. I don't know if it's right or not, but it might be. What do you think it is? I feel like doctors usually just follow certain rules that they learned at school, that the system taught them.
They don't really know that they're not truly helping. They believe they're helping and maybe they do help some people, but they're not really addressing the root cause. And I think that's the main issue with the healthcare system.
Yeah. Well put. And that's a mirror of, I think what everyone feels without even having to use their intellect. We all feel that on a somatic level that obviously the branches are connected to roots. So you don't chop off the branches when you want to heal the tree. You look at what's poisoning the roots.
A great episode for this, a really good episode, Dana., is with Leland Stillman, MD. He's a medical doctor. He talks about the secrets of stress disease connection, the truth about psychoneuroimmunology, which we'll talk about, and how to be well for life.
He touched on the comparison and the mechanism of breathing improper breathing and ADHD The traditional Western Weston a price found this in the book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration when he toured across the world, he found that when tribes and when people would deviate from their natural nature-based diet, that they actually would have more issues with their teeth being crowded and their facial structure being crowded.
And most importantly, this is a big 1, their breathing apparatus through their sinuses would actually be shrunken down when they would deviate from their nature-based nutrition source.
And a lot of times, by the way, again, I'm gonna say this, right? My opinions are my opinions, and they're just based on my research. I'm not here to tell y'all what to believe and none of this is medical advice, but I will say that if we have a medical doctor on our podcast who's been schooled in the arts of medicine sharing this information, y'all might wanna take a look.
He doesn't have a vested interest in monetizing your pain. He has a vested interest in alleviating our suffering. And so the first place to look when it comes to ADHD is what is the environment of the child in?
Are the mother and father screaming at each other? Did the mother have trauma while the baby was in utero? Are there certain epigenetic predispositions that the child has a greater proclivity to exhibit?
In other words, if the mother had trauma, if the mother had a cleft palate, if the mother had a birth that was difficult, if she hasn't healed her own birth trauma, is there some kind of intergenerational trauma that is being passed on child first and foremost?
Because essentially attention deficit disorder or hyperactivity disorder is when one doesn't feel safe in their body. That's the root of all this, right? And so yes, you can chop off the tree limbs, and give them medication that gives an intermediate reprieve, but it's not the long-term solution.
The long-term solution is to go to the roots and figure out what's in the soil, and what's in the water. Because it's going to be 1 of the 5 that we always talk about, right?
Is there financial stress in the home? Does that go down to the child? I mean, I can relate to this, Mar. I was born on welfare, y'all. So like my dad wasn't at home. My mom was super stressed out about money all the time. It took me until my late 30s to get clear that money wasn't trying to kill me. That's real.
So is there spiritual stress in the home? Is there a complete severing of a connection to God and a higher power? Are you living in a home of atheists who believe there's no meaning to it all, and that we're all just gonna die, and there's no point to us even loving and living.
Is there mental stress in the home? Is there being verbal threats passed between mother and father? How is the child behaving that's a mirror of the parents behaving? Is there emotional stress in the home? Does the child even understand that he can breathe or she can breathe or that emotions are a good thing?...

301 Cory Allen: Now Is The Way
01:02:11
We tend to react to life instead of respond to it but when you're able to recognize when negative thoughts arise and choose to not act on them, not to say them, not to believe them and throw them into the mindfulness gap, you can create this whole different version of yourself. - Cory Allen
How can we stop reacting to life and instead embody a consciousness, mindset, and presence?
Host of The Astral Hustle podcast, Creator of the Release Into Now course, and Author of the newly released book, Now Is The Way, Cory Allen, joins host, Josh Trent, for the second time on Wellness Force to discuss how the brain is naturally wired to become easily distracted, how to let go of thoughts that don't serve you, and how to effectively be in the present moment, dial down your anxiety, and clarify your thoughts.
Discover how cutting out the distractions, taking your deep breaths, and starting to live from a place of response and peace can help you embrace each moment.
Listen To Episode 301 As Cory Allen Uncovers:
[1:30] Am I My Thoughts? Or Are They Leaves In The Wind?
Why we can become slaves to what's happening to the stimuli outside of our body if we are not mindful.
What unconventional mindfulness is and why Cory sees his book, Now Is The Way, in that light.
Our brain's evolutionary hangover that is causing us to still suffer from issues in the modern world such as being highly self-conscious and unable to understand other perspectives of living.
How the internet, social media, and the need to stand out from everyone else have made it easier for us to stay in this evolutionary hangover and be entirely self-involved.
It's totally normal to find yourself focusing too much on yourself and what others think of you because that trait is programmed within us.
How to bring yourself back to the moment when you find yourself being self-conscious.
[19:10] The Mindset Of A Warrior & The Heart Of A Child
How to have the heart of a child by being open to others rather than closed and judgemental.
His own reshaping and inner work to re-emerge with a new, open heart which helped him get past the facade of social context and identity projection of others.
The old anger that he used to hold onto from his family's environment when his parents got divorced when he was four years old.
Why his mother put him in a mental institution at the age of 14 because she thought he was weird and unstable when really he was just very creative and different than her and she didn't have the tools to help her see that.
The emotional manipulation, conditional love, fearful parenting and feelings of isolation that he suffered from which then led him to feel resentful, sad, and angry during his younger years
Why no parent is perfect and we're all going to mess up as we go through different experiences, feelings, and thoughts when raising a family even if none of them are traumatic.
The simple fact that all of our sufferings are relative based on our personalities, mindset, and experiences.
[26:00] Life Lessons For Greater Mindfulness
The life lessons we can learn about being more mindful by observing children.
How meditation can help us let go of resentfulness, pain, and negative thought patterns.
Why we become so fixated on the thought loops in our mind even if some of them might not even be our own but from another past life.
[30:00] Letting Go Of Thought Loops
How and why we identify and understand ourselves through the stories that we create about our lives.
Our ancient brain's ability to conceptualize which was useful hundreds of years ago but not so much now when we're focusing all of our energy on something meaningless to do with our jobs, relationships, or future.
How pausing during a negative or critical thought and then engaging with something else can help create new ideas, experiences, and water down any negative loop patterns.
What he did for himself to let go of his own thought loops that were taking up his time and attention.
[35:00] Creating A Relationship With The Uncertainty Monster
The absurdity of allowing yourself to get so wrapped up in an idea that's really unlikely to happen.
How Cory helped a colleague overcome stress simply by telling him to but a "Breathe" reminder on his phone every hour.
Various tools to help us overcome uncertainty, stress, and come back to the present moment. (38:00)
The impact of visual cues that will help you relax, be still and let go of uncertainty and stress.
Creating a morning routine that allows you to take time for yourself and start your day off with a healthy mindset.
How directing your attention to things you really love like a morning coffee, workout, or meditation can make an impact.
[41:10] Mindfulness Is Strength Training For The Brain
Why people are so restless because it's easier for them to wrestle with nothing than to sit with it.
The struggle we face to observe, accept, and let go of negative thoughts and emotions within the mindfulness gap.
Why we're conditioned to react to something that happens to our lives instead of effectively responding to it.
We are are not our thoughts but our thoughts put in action.
It's okay if you can't 100% let go of your negative thoughts in the moment; the important thing is that you try and apply the tools you already have.
How to naturally rewire the brain by indulging in positive thoughts rather than negative and critical ones.
[46:10] Rewiring Your Meat Radio
The difference between dwelling on thoughts that you "crave" vs. thoughts that you are "hungry" for and need to address. (47:40)
Steps we can take to wake up right now to new revelations when our heads have been underwater for so long with all of these stories that we tell ourselves.
How to hold yourself accountable for your new way of thinking and own story.
The fact that change won't just happen over time; it takes patience, effort, and nurturing to really see future results.
His equation for real change: consistent action and time. (51:00)

Power Quotes From The Show
Our Limitless Potential To Learn And Love
"We live in times that support higher thinking while at the same time we live with a brain that was designed for safety and reaction. The dance steps between the two arenʼt taught in traditional school. Encapsulated into each one of us is the limitless potential and a lifelong lesson of learning and loving. It takes the heart of a child and the mind of a warrior to live life well." - Cory Allen
We Are Not Our Thoughts
"We are not our thoughts. We are our thoughts put into action. You get to observe your thoughts and choose which ones you want to put into your world. You don't have to be perfect at this mindfulness practice either; just recognize when you're about to go down a dark road of inner conversation." - Cory Allen
Building Mindfulness Muscle
"People are fidgety because it's a lot easier to wrestle with nothing than to sit with it. Most people are always trying to wrestle with that feeling of nothing and stillness of being because actually sitting with it is a lot more challenging at first because their muscles of mindfulness are quite atrophied. Most of us have never grown up with training on how to strengthen our skill of mindfulness so these muscles are small at first but once we begin to just develop even the most basic practices of it, it's amazing how quickly that becomes a really strong and easy thing." - Cory Allen
Creating A Whole New Version Of You
"We tend to react to our life instead of respond to it. We all want to be that person who is free of judgment and is more kind, patient, present, loving and is able to connect with the people in their lives at a deeper level. However, there are these emerging negative qualities that lead us to dwell on these negative thoughts and criticisms. Those ideas will rise and pass through because there is no space and we tend to react quickly to them rather than observe, think, and respond to them. However, by being able to recognize when negative thoughts arise and choosing to not act on them, not say them, not to believe them and throw them into the mindfulness gap, you can create this whole different version of yourself." - Cory Allen

342 April Seifert: How To Navigate Mental Maps of Anxiety
01:04:37
If we can all just agree that we are humans with brains and realize that brains tend to respond to times of uncertainty, change, and real threat in very predictable ways as anxiety, worry, and fear...then we can immediately be compassionate with ourselves because it just means that we're human. Every single person that is going through COVID19, they're human and they're experiencing what it means to be human which is: We react to our surroundings in these predictable ways. - April Seifert
If thoughts and feelings are not us then why are they there in the first place?
Why Peak Mind psychology isn't just for athletes; it's for everyone.
Her own traumas and personal hardships that she has experienced in life even from an early age.
The diagnosis of her multiple sclerosis and how that has impacted her life.
How her own adversity has inspired her to share her work even more with other people because psychology was what helped her thrive through multiple obstacles.
Why so much of our fear is connected to irrational thoughts.
How we can navigate and know the difference between rational and irrational thought patterns.
The importance of building up psychological strength and what steps we can take to do that.
Why we can be there to support our partners but it is not our responsibility to fix or manage their emotions.
One of the central tenants of Life Design from Peak Mind is that you are at the center of your life and other people are at the center of their own lives.
How to design your life for you, not for other people, and be 100% radically responsible for it.
Why hitting the pause button is the no. 1 most important thing you should do and why we find it so difficult in the first place.
[23:00] Creating Momentum By Choosing To Act Now
Understanding that there is great power in making a decision and creating momentum.
Why you should put some psychological distance between you that is consciousness and your thoughts.
How to sit back and truly observe and get curious about your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
What anxiety actually is and it's not you - it's just a bodily emotional and thought process that is happening in your body and your mind but it is not you.
Why thoughts and feelings are not the answer; just bits of information for you to weigh among other bits of information.
"If you are feeling anxious, worried, emotionally exhausted, and unable to focus, the very first thing you need to understand is that there is nothing wrong with you. You are not deficient, weak, or handling this worse than anybody else; it is just that you are a human who has a brain and that brain is reacting in ways that brains do given the circumstances that we're in and that is nothing to be ashamed of, ever." - April Seifert
What Are Anxiety And Fear?
"You are not your thoughts nor your emotions. You are also not your bodily sensations of fear. What do fear and anxiety mean? They are just bodily, emotional thought processes that are happening in your body and in your mind but they are not you. You can be an observer of that and the more distance you put between yourself and that process, the more you'll be able to move through it, feel it, and realize that they're nothing that has to do with your next step." - April Seifert
You Are Your Rooted Consciousness
"If it's not accurate or helpful, you don't have to buy into that thought. You are not that story, you are not your belief systems, you are not your thoughts nor your feelings. You are that centered consciousness awareness that is deeply rooted in the things that don't change no matter what situation or circumstances you're in; that is your core." - April Seifert
April Seifert is a social-cognitive psychologist, life design strategist, and co-founder of Peak Mind: The Center for Psychological Strength. Her presentation will explore how the choices we make with respect to self-awareness, flexibility, and psychological strength can transform our minds into our biggest liability — or our most valuable asset.

Bandit French | Kanna: Nature's MDMA? Here's What You Need To Know For Anxiety + Depression
00:53:53
Kanna is a PDE4 inhibitor and it has very similar effects to SSRI, serotonin reuptake inhibitor. It works really well on a biochemical level to keep those good hormones flowing around but it’s gentle enough so you don’t have to worry about serotonin syndrome. - Bandit French

In this episode, Lead Product Developer at LiftMode, Bandit French joins our host, Josh Trent, to talk about a plant that has been used for centuries by indigenous people in South Africa, its influence on our cognitive functions, and how it can sustainably boost our serotonin level.
Are you ready to uncover the secrets of a South African plant, Kanna, and learn about its positive effects on the human brain?
Join Bandit and Josh as they discuss why Kanna is nature's MDMA, its effects on the brain and amygdala, and why it's safer than pharmaceutical drugs.
How being diagnosed with ADHD as a kid sent Bandit on this path of finding natural supplements.
How he found the perfect formula to help him with ADHD after 10 years.
Power Quotes From The Show
Kanna: A Tool For Your Healing Journey
"It’s a tool. You need to do the work yourself. You need to make sure you’re taking personal care but this is a tool that’s just going to add so much more to people’s journey and to living better." - Bandit French
Is Kanna An Entheogen?
"An entheogen can change your perception but it’s also anything that’s mood-altering. A cognition enhancer is an entheogen. Kanna can change your perception, it changes your mood, and even your outlook on life." - Bandit French
Jared ‘Bandit’ French is CMBDO and a lead product developer at LiftMode, although he prefers the title of 'mad scientist and innovation chaser'.
Now with over 15 years of experience in the supplement, health science, and nootropic space, he brings a lifetime of passion to the field thanks to his own path of self-discovery, and a near obsession with maximizing human potential and weaponizing a tendency to hyperfocus that he was once told might limit him in life.
Already a customer who had admired the catalog for a number of years, when Bandit met LiftMode founder, Armand Tuzel, they shared big ideas, talked about research, and immediately hit it off.
Their collective drive to harness novel compounds and cutting-edge botanical extracts to push the limits of cognitive, physical, and emotional well-being laid a powerful foundation for the continued growth and development of the LiftMode family in the years that followed.
Five years later, though his title has changed, you will still find Bandit buried in research, walking the labs with the founders at Liftmode's Illinois-based facility, or up late at night excitedly planning the next big thing via Zoom from the HQ of their sister company Suzume in Osaka, Japan.
They still have far more ideas and formulations than they have lab space or personnel, with no shortage of projects in the pipeline.
Most recently, the pair have been pioneering novel formulations and delicious delivery systems for Kanna (Sceletium Tortuosum), a plant extract sourced from South Africa with powerful, scientifically verified properties to boost mood, enhance cognition and even provide beautiful heart-opening, empathogenic experiences with the most important people in your life.
With an unyielding commitment to delivering the purest, most potent, and always third-party lab-tested materials, Bandit and the LiftMode team have come to share their latest innovations in Kanna with everyone who will benefit most from this paradigm-shifting plant.

Solocast: Climb The Mountain
00:09:41
This past week I spent 8 days in the Eastern Sierras.
While I originally went for nature therapy, hiking, movement, and connecting with friends, I wound up experiencing an NDE.
It was the second time I was gifted one of these in 2018, except this time it happened at 12,000 feet.
Illuminated by a full moon, and trying to sleep while laying on the cold gravel in a small tent at the Mount Whitney trail camp, I felt my heart pounding fast and began to realize: I couldn't breathe.
After 45 minutes of attempted conscious breathing to calm my nervous system, positive affirmations, and canister oxygen, I finally accepted the truth of what had happened: AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness)
I made the call.
At 1230am, myself and a friend packed up to leave 3 other men to summit that morning while we both walked down the trail with headlamps to lower ground.
So I wouldn't die.
I recovered, slept, and I write this message to you feeling great, thanks to my decision to listen to my body.
My survival brain did me well, it kept me alive.
Weight loss, however, does NOT have to feel like this.
If losing weight feels like you can't breathe, or if you know someone you care about that feels this way, please share with them the live Q&A link with David Zappasodi tomorrow at 11am PST (2pm EST).Click here then tap "Get Reminder" and tag them in the comments.

246 Dr. David Friedman: Food Sanity
00:53:33
It's not necessarily food that's leading to obesity. It's what's inside our food, what's wrapped around our food, and even what we're cooking our food on that's creating this epidemic.- Dr. David Friedman

Amidst all the masses of different information telling you to eat this, not that and contradicting views on nutrition, which foods are actually the best to eat?
In Wellness Force Radio episode 246, Doctor of Naturopathy, Clinical Nutritionist, Chiropractic Neurologist, and author of Food Sanity, Dr. David Friedman, shares why obesogens and not food may be the culprit for our gut health issues, simple remedies to keep hazardous foods and unsafe plastics out of your life, and how to follow the nutrition guideline of, "If it's white, keep it out of sight."
Discover why obesogens like pesticides, chemicals, and Monsanto can be the cause of obesity, gluten sensitivity, and digestion problems instead of solely food itself.
"Food controls the essence of who we are and has the power to either heal or harm. When we alter our nutrition, our health can be improved in a matter of days. Food is medicine." - @drdavidfriedman
During his 25 years as a holistic practitioner and health expert on syndicated TV and radio, Dr. David Friedman has interviewed hundreds of world-renowned doctors and bestselling authors. From proponents of a Vegan, Paleo, Mediterranean Diet to a Gluten Free and Low Carb Diet, the opinions are as different as night and day.
After becoming frustrated with all the conflicting research and opinions, Dr. Friedman wrote Food Sanity, which explores all the fads, facts and fiction. Using a common science meets common sense approach, this groundbreaking book finally answers the big question: WHAT THE HECK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO EAT?!!
Readers will discover never-before-heard nutritional and dieting advice that will ensure they get the maximum benefits from their food and dietary supplements. Food Sanity offers a definitive blueprint on how to eat in the unhealthiest developed country in the world... the good ole USA.
Listen To Episode 246 As Dr. David Friedman Uncovers:
Why we should follow the saying, "If it's white, keep it out of sight," and avoid processed foods including flour, sugar, milk, salt, or corn-based foods etc. to help balance our blood sugar, increase energy, lose weight, and sleep better.
The list of white natural, unprocessed foods that are okay to eat such as cauliflower, garlic, mushrooms, bananas, white fish, and white poultry meat.
How he lost the extra 15 pounds he had by deciding to take out organic, USDA approved popcorn from his nightly routine.
What obesogens are and how they're the culprits that are wreaking havoc on our digestion and causing all sorts of stomach issues like leaky gut and inflammation.
How genetics comes into play with our ability to digest certain foods and keeping our hormones in check.
Other precautions we should make besides avoiding processed foods, chemicals, and certain cookware.
Simple remedies for removing harmful plastics from your life that could be in your shower curtains, receipts, and skincare or beauty products.
The importance of avoiding plastics with the recycling code 3 and 7 and instead look for plastic coding with either 1, 2, or 5.
Why the label "microwave safe" doesn't mean it's actually safe for you and you should never microwave plastic.
Why it truly matters to eat free-range, grass-fed, organic meat to avoid toxins and hormones.
The importance of looking for supplements with the label, "Certified GMP" and avoiding the label, "GMP Methods Are Used" to know that it's been audited, checked, and it's a legit product.
His interest in being a chiropractic and how that led him to study neurology, naturopathy, and nutrition as well.
Why there was a fight between medical doctors and chiropractic practitioners that has improved but is still going on today.
How connecting to a higher power can be a sustainable tool for weight loss for life.
The actual amount of calcium and magnesium that is found in milk compared to better sources like plant milk including almond, hemp, and coconut milk.
Why it's possible that you're more likely to develop colon cancer by eating red meat and where to find better meat alternatives such as bison.
Milk alternatives such as cashew, almond, hemp, and coconut milk that many different diets from Paleo and Keto to Vegan and Vegetarian can all agree on.
Whether or not there's a problem with using coconut products.
Why we should eat slower for the sake of our body's health, to lose weight, digest better, and actually enjoy the food.
Power Quotes From The Show
"Eat until you're satisfied; not full. You should eat until you're satisfied and eventually that level of satisfaction becomes your fullness as your body gets used to that amount of food." - @drdavidfriedman
"Let's face it, we didn't have this problem with gluten sensitivity and digestive problems 20, 30, 40, or 50 years ago. I don't blame food; I blame something called obesogens and these are chemicals that are actually found inside of our food, wrapped around our food, and sometimes even in the cookware that we cook our food on. These obesogens wreak havoc on our digestive system and make us unable to digest these foods which lead to inflammation and leaky gut. We can pinpoint starches and flours and blame them but it's really our inability to digest a lot of these foods. How could people eat a pizza 50 years ago and be fine with gluten? Now it seems to be such an issue and you can't blame gluten; it's the chemicals." - Dr. David Friedman
"You can't blame your genes for why you can't fit into your jeans. Unless you are in the rare 3% of the population in which high blood pressure and being overweight runs in the family, you have to take control and stop blaming your ancestors. Of course, there are diseases that are genetic but I don't think our DNA is to blame when it comes down to food sensitivities. Our great-great-grandparents didn't have those issues with gluten nor faced this obesity and diabetes epidemics that are now happening." - Dr. David Friedman
"We know the saying, 'You are what you eat,' but you are also what your meat eats and this includes the hormones used to increase the weight of cattle. So, when you eat the cattle, these same substances can increase your weight. Not only are hormones in meat production a contributing factor to our obesity issue but the antibiotics found in chicken to make them larger are fattening us up too." - Dr. David Friedman
"I think our connection with food all begins in the mind. If you have a little bit of candy, don't beat yourself up about it and just give up on your nutrition goals. A lot of our food cravings are based on our mindset but they're also stress related. People will use food as a stress reliever and their best friends, Ben and Jerry, to give them comfort. If they can realize that food is not their antidepressant but fuel for their body, then they can ease into letting go of those unhealthy cravings in the beginning process of losing weight. They'll feel better, be less depressed, have more energy, improve their blood sugar, and sleep better because they will have fed their bodies with good nutrition. If you can make it through the first 21 days, then that last week will be easy." - Dr. David Friedman

Why you are never ever lost and if you feel like you are, slow down and write down all of your thoughts on paper and observe how you feel.
The importance of pausing after a plant medicine ceremony to learn what it has taught you rather than going to them regularly.
Why you have to do the work first through programs such as Anat's before working with plant medicine.
The fact that no one can heal you; you have to find the healer within yourself.
How to edit the hardware that is the false story in your mind with a true one to help you move on.
Steps we can take to surrender to the mystery of this world and ourselves.
"When people turn to plant medicine first instead of inner work, they're believing that the plants will heal them and they do have powerful properties but the truth is that no one or anything can heal you. I don't heal my clients; I introduce them and guide them to the healer within them. You want to be able to tap into your ability to allow your body to heal itself. Your body is that brilliant. When you cut your finger, you think your band-aid and ointment are doing the healing? No, your body is doing the healing. Plant medicine is a tool in the Healer's tool belt and you're working with the medicine as opposed to using the medicine." - Anat Peri
Building Emotional Resilience
"As you learn emotional resiliency, you really know how to be with these emotions that, by the way, have been there all along. You just had enough distractions and busyness and social life and work to neglect and ignore those parts of yourself. Now this COVID19 has created, for some people, that chaos and the perfect storm that you can't run from anymore; you have to face it. So, I give people the tools to finally face those parts of themselves and the more you build your capacity to be with any emotion and not be afraid of it, numb, it or stuff it down, the more resilience you have and the better you can handle whatever life throws at you." - Anat Peri
Tapping Into Your Gift For The World
"Your soul is everything. It is your mind, body, sensations, breath; it is everything. So, learning to be with the soul is learning to be in love with all parts of you including your mind. Let's focus on that mind-body connection and go on that self-discovery so it's not just some anomaly of 'what is this'. Explore it; get to know it and you will find your brilliance and tap into your gifts. You all have a gift; your soul came with a gift to give to the world." - Anat Peri
Anat Peri is a transformational coach who specializes in guiding clients to achieve their greatest potential. With over 10+ years in developmental work, Anat has helped hundreds of people create the life they desire.

Listen To Episode 507 As Josh Trent Uncovers The Root Cause Of Unconscious Self-Sabotage
[00:00] Self-Sabotage As The Result Of Our Lives
In this Solocast, we're going deep into the concept of self-sabotage, which is perfect timing. Whether you're hearing this live on the day it's published or years from now, it still has the same weight and the capacity to uplevel and change your life.
That is my promise that by the end of this solocast, I'm going to give you an actionable guide, as well as some science and spirituality behind self-sabotage, why we do it, and how we stop the cycle.
How do we unhinge from the very thing that we know is causing us pain but we just aren't aware of what the root of that thing actually is?
Well, it may seem shocking some people undermined their own good intentions and long-term success goals because self-sabotage occurs in the shadows when people hinder their own success, and take destructive steps without actually knowing it.
Maybe some deeper part of them knows it because their harmful behavior shows up as the results of their lives with negative impacts in nearly every part of their existence, including money, relationships, career health... You name it. Self-sabotage shows up in so many deleterious ways.
[01:15] Unconscious Destructive Behaviour
So first, let's go over why people self-sabotage. People, unconsciously block their progress for so many different types of reasons.
They may consciously or unconsciously commit these acts of self-sabotage and the causes range from childhood issues, epigenetics, emotional epigenetics, prior relationships, and heartbreak essentially all the ways that the ego that is wounded tries to stay safe.
Other reasons for this destructive behavior stems from low self-esteem, or a sense of not being good enough and coping with cognitive dissonance, which I'll go into in a moment.
So if we know what we want and we know what we don't want, then why is there a disconnect between our embodiment of how we show up in the world, and the results of our life?
In other words, if we know what we don't want and what we do want then why do we continue to receive what we don't?
Well, I will share with you that people who self-sabotage may be aware of their actions, for example, somebody who is overweight and on a diet might consciously sabotage their efforts by eating a whole chocolate cake or staying up till 4 AM, and then eating a whole pizza.
Or they might act from an unconscious place where they miss a work deadline which on the surface it seems like they were running late, but the truth is they are afraid of failure, so the human being self-sabotage is by unconsciously missing the due date and bypasses their goal to advance in the company.
Difficult childhood growing up in a dysfunctional family can contribute towards a proclivity towards self-sabotage. We act out unconsciously what we see from our parents so without a secure attachment style you might have an ambivalent or vacillation or avoidant attachment style.
It's because our earliest engagement and lessons from our parents and caregivers drastically impacted how we connect to ourselves and others.
Take an inventory right now, take a deep breath. There's something that you wanted from the solocast and this is the core of how you get it.
Question: Did your parents tell you growing up that you'll never amount to much or that you're not good enough or did you have people in your life when you were growing up especially ages 3 through 7, but even 7 through 18, those are the very formative years where neuroplasticity and neurogenesis are in full speed from a brain perspective.
In childhood, we are delicate like a rose and require water, sunlight, and nourishment, and if we don't get that emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally, then unconsciously, we will act out the exact situations in childhood from an unconscious space until they get healed.
[04:32] Relationships And Self Sabotage
Here's your first action step: take an emotional inventory.
I've talked about this in-depth on the Hypervigilance Solocast, which you can access at JoshTrent.com/490, and also the Emotional Epigenetics Solocast a JoshTrent.com/499 these are two huge scaffoldings that will help you understand this podcast and give you more context on what I am teaching today.
Another core root of self-sabotage has been difficult relationships. For example, if your ex-partner consistently put you down, you still might feel bruised or broken in this way.
Based on a recent scientific study on self-sabotage from Cambridge University, psychologists who specialized in intimate relationships in Australia identified the main issues for the recurrence of self-sabotage in romantic relationships.
The reasons included insecure attachment style, low self-worth, the fear of having their heart broken, fear of commitment, unhealthy, toxic beliefs about relationships, they learn from their parents and society, and coping problems when it relates to matters of the heart.
And, lastly, at the root is cognitive dissonance or the mental discomfort that a human being may have when they hold two conflicting ideas at the same time.
Humans are pleasure-seeking, and pain-avoidant creatures, who like to have consistency between their beliefs and actions.
As an example, if you marry someone you love, but you come from a dysfunctional family where your dad left and your mother went from one abusive stepfather or boyfriend to another… You unconsciously, don't believe in a stable, loving marriage yet continue to plan the wedding and send invitations.
Here's another example related to work when it comes to cognitive dissonance.
You are about to land a huge client and earn the most money you've ever earned but rather than do what it takes to close the deal you hold yourself back because you don't feel worthy.
You might even get drunk the night before or miss the meeting with the potential client completely, and rather than of had to take action to literally shoot yourself in the foot, because on a deep level, you don't feel worthy.
Self-sabotage leads to chronic struggles with sex, pornography, drugs, food, alcohol, gambling, shopping, workaholism, and even self-injury. This destructive behavior has topical roots to exactly what we will talk about next.
[08:31] Procrastination + Perfectionism
Now that we've gone over the science of self-sabotage, let's talk about procrastination and perfectionism, which are really equally deleterious and equally challenging to hold.
It has been said that perfectionism is really just a trauma response. A great resource for this is if you head over to JoshTrent.com/461, where I can quote Dr. Wendy Myers: "For many people, perfectionism is a response to trauma. It's not that you just want to do everything perfectly. It's a defense mechanism we create, which can lead to a negative mindset and a constant inner critic."
Holding oneself to an impossible standard causes delays in setbacks. Well, it seems like such a positive thing to aim for things to go as planned without any problems, perfectionism is really a belief that if you're seen as imperfect, then you won't be loved. And that's at the bottom of it for me and for all of us.
Then there's procrastination, procrastination is a way you show others you're never ready and put off taking your time and being mindful until the last second so you can get that huge rush of energy because really you don't trust yourself to do it without a state of stress.
I can see from my own journey with procrastination. It really came from me not feeling that I could handle at all without the stress hormones that drove me to push me beyond my beliefs, and it wasn't until I got down to the core beliefs that if I didn't make as much money as my father than I wouldn't be loved or if I didn't look a certain way physically, then I wouldn't be excepted or sexually attractive all of these things… They lead to procrastination because it is the unconscious projection of the self into the conscious action.
[10:38] How To Stop The Self-Sabotage Cycle
Now let's break down the spirituality. Whether you believe in past life regression or epigenetic emotional transfer, where five generations of mice have been proven in scientific studies to exhibit trauma-based behavior, you have to realize that in this lifetime there is so much more than you see.
So your next action step when it comes to a spiritual inventory of why you self-sabotage, and how to stop the cycle is to simply breathe and be still. You heard that right, breathe and be still.
You're with me right now for a reason otherwise you would not be hearing my voice and so I'd like you to take three deep breaths with me. Now, after these three deep breaths, put your hand on your body where you feel the most pressure or tension, or discomfort.
Maybe it's your hips, your glutes, your stomach, your throat, your forehead, your shoulders... Wherever you feel the most tension, go there right now and do three more deep breaths.
Notice, the voice that I speaking to you is the same voice that is inside of you because you and I all come from the same place, the same creator of the same omnipresent, loving energy that has created all things and always has been.
Let go of any dogmatism, religious training, spiritual or amygdala hijacking from the media, and just be with me right now take three more deep breaths.
Notice, the only way you can stop a cycle from repeating is to have the courage to turn towards where the cycle comes from in the first place. And when it comes to spiritual inventory, the first place you must begin is at the altar of humility and forgiveness.
Yes, people can treat self-sabotage by examining the root causes and stopping procrastination and looking at the bigger picture, and potentially even letting go of perfectionism as a coping mechanism for trauma.
But the deeper more spiritual questions, you can ask right now in the stillness with your hand on your heart and the breath in your lungs is this.
What is my self-sabotage wanting to teach me? (You may sit with this for moments or hours.)
Is this feeling familiar?
Have I felt this feeling before and can I go to the very first time I ever felt this feeling, right now?
Can I trust myself to go to the very first time I ever felt this feeling right now?
This memory, this event that you have been carrying for so long is asking for forgiveness and possibly asking for rest. In order to rest, you must lay something down, you must let go.
What is it that you must let go of, and how can you ask the creator to give you the courage to let it go?
And now we are at the end of our time together but we will return next week for another series of emotional intelligence to support you on your path
And as we say goodbye notice you are loved you are supported, and with the right questions in the right stillness you can hear the voice of God, the creator, and you will always be on the right path.
Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are the only beef sticks in the USA made from 100% grass fed/grass finished beef and organic spices that are naturally fermented.
Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year.
The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients.
Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy.
Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s.
Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight.
Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

WFF 009 Stephanie Quinn: You Are Powerful Beyond Measure
00:24:45
The truth is that no matter what narrative the monkey mind tells us, we are all powerful beyond measure.
As we explore the depths of this physical and emotional intelligence on the Wellness Force and Wellness Force Friday podcasts, a common theme for all of us on the wellness journey is what type of message we tell ourselves when life is hard.
A message that can either be based on love and abundance or in fear, tension, and scarcity.
At the end of the day, it's no surprise that the "choice of the voice" comes from us and us alone. You’re probably thinking, “ah, hello, well duh, I know this.” But in this modern life, knowledge is simply not enough. It's embodying that knowledge to show up powerfully in our thoughts and actions that are most important when we get triggered.
So then, what is the actual thing, or many things, that really stand in our way?
One could say that it’s memories from our past, childhood traumas, or just things that happen "to us" instead of "for us," but the reality is that in the exact same moment of tension or fear, the exact opposite potential also exists.
A potential where in that exact same second we can choose to step into our power. Not in some kumbaya-mystic-spiritual-bypassing kind of a way, but in a way where we decide to take that first and sometimes scary step into believing in our deepest core that we are powerful beyond measure.
This truth of duality is 20 times more powerful than any nutrition program or CrossFit workout, and this is why today on the podcast you're hearing from Stephanie Quinn, a functional athlete and lifestyle coach for one of the most powerful wellness Force Friday shows to date.
Today's show is about knowing and embodying our truth.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us."
Embodying An Attitude of Gratitude
Stephanie: "Be aware of thy self and take action to make improvements and check your results. Awareness > Action > Adjustment (improvement, course correction). If you can use that for everything in your life you'll be successful. If you can be good at those steps you'll live well.
It is, of course, easy to think positive thoughts when you're feeling positive.
The real challenge comes in achieving positive flow when you aren't feeling that way. Giving in to gratitude is one of the most important personal characteristics that any human can have. Mountains of research prove that gratitude is a significant part of our happiness and success in life. Being grateful that the challenge is being presented because we know it's going to make us a better person, and looking at it like a puzzle we know can be solved allows us to see challenges as opportunities to grow."
The Power of Choice
Stephanie: "We look at physical, nutritional, and mental fitness as equal parts of the whole. Many of us look at fitness with a focus on the body (how we move, how we look). Some people include nutrition in that definition because nutrition is used to build, fuel and repair our bodies. But not enough of us consider the mind when we are looking at our overall fitness. Our mind powers everything. It makes things both possible and impossible.
And, it is up to you to choose.
I check in on that frequently and I think there is always a somewhat varied response. In simple terms, again, wellness for me boils down to how I feel. I ask myself in the morning, first thing, "how do I feel?'
What is sore, am I tired, what types of messages is my brain sending me, what do I need to do today to achieve wellness? When I wake up each morning: how was yesterday, what was great about it and what wasn't? I adjust. Do I feel good about myself, my partner, and do I feel healthy and that I'm being my best? That is wellness to me - Awareness.
I believe in the ABB's - Always Be Better.
All of the information I share is great in concept but there isn't any value if those ideas are not being implemented."
If you want to take action on some of this today - right now - go to ibreakground.com and accept the challenge in three parts:
Mental
Nutritional
Physical
You can choose one, two, or do all three parts. No better place than here, no better time than now.

395 Ari Whitten | The Energy Blueprint: Does Adrenal Fatigue Even Exist?
01:35:20
Is it possible to have HPA axis abnormalities or low cortisol or low morning cortisol or dysregulated cortisol? Absolutely, that is a real thing but it is fundamentally wrong to claim that adrenal fatigue is the cause or the primary cause or even a common cause of fatigue. It's also fundamentally wrong to claim that adrenal fatigue, the chronic stress leading to low cortisol levels is a real thing - that is also incorrect. You can be exposed to chronic stressors like work or financial stress and even metabolic factors like smoking and over exercising for years or even decades and never get low cortisol levels." - Ari Whitten
No. 1 Besting Selling Author, Fatigue Specialist, and Founder of The Energy Blueprint, Ari Whitten, shares how to heal your own energy fatigue, breaks down the current dilemma with chronic sickcare in America, lessons he has learned from plant medicine, and what markers are the actual determining factor in what causes fatigue.
How do you build more energy at the cellular level? How do you create and cultivate a body that is capable of producing more energy?
Join us as Ari covers everything from A-Z in human energy and what actually causes fatigue.
Belcampo was founded with a purpose: to create meat that’s good for people, planet and animals.
What started as one mom’s desire to feed her family the healthiest meat possible became a mission to revolutionize the industry from the inside out. Belcampo is the pioneer of hyper-sustainable, organic, grass-fed and -finished, Certified Humane meats, broths, and jerkies. The company is on a mission to revolutionize the meat industry for the well-being of people, the planet, and animals by farming meat the right way – with Certified Humane, regenerative, and climate-positive practices, which means it’s better for you, the planet and the animals.
Conventionally raised animals are confined to feedlots and eat a diet of inflammatory grains, but Belcampo’s animals graze on open pastures and seasonal grasses resulting in meat that is higher in nutrients and healthy fats.
Why he became interested in pursuing a career in natural healthcare rather than western medicine.
What he disliked about medical school and why his health began to deteriorate after two years in the program.
Why he feels that western medicine is flawed in many different ways with his background in natural health.
The fact that many medical students receive basically zero education on nutrition, lifestyle, and root causes of chronic disease.
Negative feedback he would receive when he would hint at or suggest educating and giving patients healthy food at the hospital.
The high rate of ignorance we see in the western medicine world about the benefits of healthy exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle to heal and prevent illness.

The real issue of perception that exists in the world of science including agriculture and healthcare when humans think they are smarter than nature with our technology and chemicals.
Why your goal should be to optimize your body's innate capacity for healing and self regeneration if you want to combat fatigue, be healthy, and live a long life.
The hard decision he made to finally leave medical school and how that impacted his wellbeing for several years.
Fears he had after leaving medical school such as disappointing his family, what if people thought he failed, and what if no one listens to him if he doesn't have the title.
His experience becoming a trainer after leaving medical school and later on pursuing a PhD in clinical psychology but then decided he didn't want to be a therapist.
[29:30] Lessons Ari Received From Plant Medicine
How, in his unique experience, plant medicine drastically helped his mind with depression and a toxic relationship compared to the talk therapy he was also receiving.
Why talk therapy can be extremely beneficial and not all psychological illness is conducive to being treated by psychedelics or plant medicine.
His decision to leave studying clinical psychology because he didn't want to be placed in one box for his profession and not be able to practice nutrition if he wished.
What lessons Ari received from psychedelics and plant medicine and how those experiences helped heal his depression and expand his consciousness.
[47:30] Creating More Energy At The Cellular Level
Breaking down how we can build more energy and cultivate a body that is capable of producing more energy.
Ari's own person fatigue experiences in his mid 20s with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and how that led him to explore what natural health has to offer for combating fatigue.
His specific research on adrenal fatigue and what doctors know and don't know about adrenal fatigue.
Why conventional medicine is really clueless on adrenal fatigue and how to properly treat it with their four methods: antidepressants, cognitive behavioral therapy, 30 minutes walking a day, and to use stimulants as needed.
Exploring what Addison's Disease is and why we shouldn't compare it to adrenal fatigue.
His research on fatigue, cortisol levels, and what he has discovered.
The fact that people who have disease from lifestyle choices actually have slightly higher cortisol levels than healthy people and thus our adrenal glands don't wear out.
Exceptions with autoimmune diseases such as Addison's Disease and its connection to chronic fatigue.
[1:11:00] What Actually Causes Fatigue?
What biomarkers are the determining factor of fatigue if cortisol is not the source.
The fact that the 50+ studies on the adrenal fatigue theory have all failed to prove that it is true.
Why the primary sources that regulate our energy levels are the mitochondria, the brain, and sickness behavior.
What the metabolomic panels cover in its biomarker testing for adrenal fatigue and how Dr. Naviaux and his team found that cortisol levels were normal.
Why we really overestimate just how much information biomarkers are going to give us about a person's health.
The fact that 95% of the time, blood panel tests do not actually identify anything that is abnormal in a person with chronic fatigue.
Why lifestyle variables and symptoms are enormous clues as to what is going on with a person's health.
What simple steps you can take if you are experiencing chronic fatigue including food and supplements.
"Look inward both literally and metaphorically because the source of energy is your own body's cells. It's not stimulant pills that you take externally or this and that prescription drug. It's how do you build more energy at the cellular level. How you create and cultivate a body that is capable of producing more energy. That's what it's all about." - Ari Whitten
The Unique Impact Between Sleep & Cortisol Levels
"Even if you are healthy and don't have fatigue, just the one factor of being an night owl chronotype and going to bed late at night will dramatically alter your cortisol levels. If you take a group of healthy people who are either morning people or night owls and you look at their cortisol levels and you chart it, those people on average will have cortisol levels that would get them diagnosed by someone who believes in adrenal fatigue as having adrenal fatigue. However, that's not at all what's going on; it's just a function of being a night owl chronotype. That's one factor but circadian rhythm and sleep dysregulation across the board is the single most common reason for HPA axis dysfunction." - Ari Whitten
Exposing America's Sick Care System
"How do we mimic, support, and optimize the natural systems of the human body? It's literally the difference between looking at a disease like diabetes or neurological disease and saying, 'How can we study what biochemical pathway is causing this disease and how can we develop a drug that interrupts that biochemical pathway that will therefore cure this disease?' which is a paradigm which almost never works to actually cure diseases; 97% of drugs can only address symptoms at best versus the paradigm that says, 'How can we understand the big picture of what are the root causes that led to the development of that condition in the first place, address those causes while understanding that the human body has an innate capacity for self-regeneration and self-healing, and how can we give the right inputs to allow the body to express that?'...
...These are fundamentally different ways of thinking and if somebody's goal is to actually be healthy and energetic and live a long life to avoid developing chronic disease, be on over 15 prescription drugs, and be in and out of the hospital with a terrible quality of life - If you actually want health, energy, and longevity, the goal is to optimize your body's innate capacity for healing and self-regeneration." - Ari Whitten

A simple, powerful 21 minute morning system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.
Wellness is being aligned with truth. Listen to your intuition; you know what's truth and what's not. Honor your truth and whatever feels right to you on a spiritual, mental, physical, or nutritional level and I promise you that your intuition will take you on the path that you need to go. - Tara Garrison
How can holding yourself more accountable, creating a schedule, and really listening to your inner voice help you live life well?
Coach, Host of the Inside Health Podcast, and Founder of both HIGHER: Women Who Rise and the KELEO movement, Tara Garrison, shares how plant medicine helped her overcome past traumas, her "accidental" awakening to the health and wellness industry, and how to live a more conscious life by truly paying attention to your intuition.
Discover how to be healthy from the inside out by setting up a gratitude practice, building a sustainable fuel source of motivation, and focusing on self-care every day.
What it was like for her to be a part of a religious group that didn't feel aligned with her soul anymore.
Why she feels that her past views on Mormonism blinded her from the truth that she sees now.
Past feelings of great sadness that impacted her mental health and emotional wellbeing.
How her experience with Mormonism hindered her ability to love herself and openly explore her emotions.
The goodness she sees in the Mormon church but how all of its outside expectations caused her to feel like she was never meeting up to others' expectations of herself.
How eating healthy was her "accidental" awakening to the health and wellness industry.
Her childhood growing up with a mentally ill mother, living in poverty, and also having been sexually, physically, and emotionally abused by another family member.
[18:00] Connect With Your Intuition & Spirituality
How she was very driven at school and thus developed this high-quality awareness of how other people lived their lives.
The great amount of doubt she used to have in her own intuition as she was expected by the Mormon church to act on what the Holy Spirit wanted her to do.
The many wounds we all have around wealth and being financially healthy and how that extends to our relationships with people, ourselves, and even food.
[45:50] How Our Wounds Can Turn Into Something Beautiful
Why our wounds can actually be the key to set us on the path that we need to be on.

Why she was so scared that if she lost all of her unhealthy motivation, she would lose her drive and everything she had gained for her physical health.
How changing up her self talk to be more encouraging actually helped boost her healthy drive even more.
[53:00] Lessons From Our Intuition
Why our intuition will always nudge us and we can either listen to it or not but it will always keep pushing us.
Her realization that the faster she listens to her intuition, the faster her life gets better.
"Intuition will nudge you and you can either listen and your whole life will get better or don't listen and it will just continue as is. I have learned that the faster I listen to my intuition, the better my life gets faster." - Tara Garrison
Organizing Your Life Through Meditation
"When I meditate, I am able to separate myself from the stress and sit back to look at it. It's like I'm an eagle on top of a mountain, I'm soaring around, and I'm looking down at my life to see what I can shift, let go of, or add something new. So, instead of being stuck in all of my stress, meditation has helped me see how I can change my life." - Tara Garrison
Creating A Sacred Space & Time
"What has helped me set healthy boundaries is having an established morning routine and maybe some people just think it's too whoo-whoo but it has been crazy powerful for me. It's the only way I'm able to create the life I want to live because if I don't schedule in time for a gratitude practice or meditation session, it does not happen. I can't just put on all the brakes in the middle of the day for them; it's just not going to happen. So, I have to create sacred space for me and nobody is bugging me at 4:30 in the morning." - Tara Garrison

Power Quotes From The Show
Emotional Regulation
"The ultimate superpower that a human can have is emotional regulation. It's that ability to stop yourself from shoving somebody's face into a urinal. That is actually more strength than actually doing. There's another level of strength above being able to be the guy that does that that makes you the guy who has the ability to do it but doesn't." - Moha Bensofia
Prefrontal Cortex Blood Flow
"There's a study that's been done in Sweden on violent defenders. The one thing they all have in common is that they have a lack of oxygenated blood flow to the prefrontal cortex. Being able to control that, being able to tap into these things at will is a powerful skill to have. It's life-changing. The person that can turn that off and walk away from a problem and the person that can't, have very different outcomes and very different lives. That's the difference between being awarded and celebrated for achievements vs ending up in prison." -Moha Bensofia
How To Be A Good CEO
"To be a good CEO you need three things:
You need to listen and you need to learn. Don't make this about you and your ego. Surround yourself with smart people and learn from them.
You need to care. Part of your job is to care about your team, the users, and the investors. Just care.
You need to communicate. You know how to talk. It's so simple to be a CEO." - Moha Bensofia
Nothing Is A Coincidence
"In life, there are no coincidences. Everything is meant to be." - Moha Bensofia

Listen To Episode 687 As Josh Trent Answers Your Questions
[00:00] Intro
What's up, everybody? It's Wellness + Wisdom. This is Josh Trent and today is our AMA where we talk about Ask Me Anything. Now look, anything means anything, right?
On this podcast, we explore the wellness pentagon, which is the way we nourish or starve ourselves through the 5 sides of self, our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial you. That's why you're here.
That's why you clicked on this because you're interested in growing the nourishment of all these 5 sides of yourself. And this episode is really unique because it came from a YouTube question that we're going to read today. But before we get to the YouTube question, I want to introduce my co-pilot.
As always, Mar in the island of the Azores, living her best life with vitamin D and the ocean that I just love so much. Mar, How's life treating you today?
It's been treating me well, I would say. There are ups and downs all the time, but it's just how you approach it. And I really like the topic that we're going to discuss today because it's something that I've personally struggled with, especially lately.
I've been trying to find a way how to express this part of I've been trying to deny it for some reason, maybe feeling a little bit ashamed that I believe in God and I come from a country that's not a country that would believe in God at all. So I feel a little bit of shame around that topic. So I'm trying to discover what is a way for me to express this part of me...
[03:10] Why Is Your Spiritual Growth Seen As Crazy?
Let's get into the question.
Wow ~ I could relate to this and see resonance in both speakers.I was adopted by my maternal grandfather and his new wife when I was a year old. Deep taboos in the family and my birth.
It wasn't until 2000, a tragic breaking away that led me on the path of self-discovery. 2009, Dark Night of the Soul ~ (experience of maternal womb) I had a Rebirth.I knew, there's a battle for our SOULS - past history lists all the historical events of evil (timeline leading back to 180 A.D.)
I was on a mission to re-claim mine (SOUL).I realized this Wetiko - but called it, "Familial Hypnotic Trance" . . .. this global SPELL.I had BROKEN myself out of my ancestral SIN (blindness, missing the mark).
It felt like I was part of a BALL OF COSMIC STAR LIGHT, that had exploded into a million shattered pieces and then, it (LIGHT) came back into a NEW.Everything follows the process of life, death, and rebirth, and WETIKO holds the poison and CURE.EVOLUTION= LOVE
I tried to express this understanding to family but they thought I was talking Woo-woo, nonsense because SCIENCE can't explain our individual - phenomenal experiences.I am continually amazed by Synchronicity = soul timing.New Subscriber to your channel❤ 🙏
I can remember when I first started diving into plant medicine, 2016, 2017, I believe. My family thought I was crazy. And honestly, I thought it was crazy too. And I'm not here to start this conversation that people should run out and drink ayahuasca or do mushrooms at all.
But anytime you want to change your results, you have to be willing to look at changing your behavior. Because if you keep doing the same thing in your life, you're just going to get the same result over and over and over again.
You know, to quote Carl Jung, your faculty in your mind that Jung was talking about with this quote is really about the things that you cannot see the unconscious incompetence that you don't even know you don't know.
And he said, Until you make the unconscious conscious, it'll rule your life and you'll call it fate. So all the things I just did an Instagram LIVE on this by the way more like right before we recorded this. So y'all go to Instagram because I did a deeper dive on this too.
And it was all the things that we have been encoded or imprinted with, we believe those to be true and we don't even know why we believe it to be true, yet it continues to create for many of us challenging results, challenging relationships, challenging illness, and just challenges that we are creating because we're the author of our story, y'all.
This is just a game and we're playing the game so once you get clear on whatever game you're playing and you hold true to that game there really isn't space for people judging you and thinking your spiritual path is crazy because it's just part of your game What am I really trying to get out here?
What I'm getting at is many people's beliefs when religion or God or spirituality came from when we were together in hunter-gatherer tribes.
We needed a way thousands and thousands of years ago to give a moral understanding of what God is. And so we put language to it, which is religion. And religion became its own construct, where it became really bastardized by the ego of man, where the church had to be a dealer between you and God.
And I'm here to tell you, you do not need a church, you do not need plant medicine, you don't need anything to connect with God, except for your own willing heart. So I can relate to what he's saying here, Bijou, it may be a man or a woman, I don't know. I'm guessing it's a woman if it's Bijou, it's kind of sounds like a cool cat name, Bijou.
So let's just say it's a woman. So what I hear from her is that she could see resonance and she brought up something really interesting because in the word evolution is the word love, which I absolutely connect with.
And I've said this many times on the podcast and just in my own personal life too, in order for us to evolve we have to be to embody love and a lot of times embodying love means you're gonna piss some people off especially in your family a lot of the times what was taught to be loving in a family is actually not loving at all, right?...
[17:55] Wetiko = Coldness of The Heart
The Bible indirectly describes what Wetiko is. As a blindness of the mind correlated to the coldness of the heart.
So when you have a coldness of the heart, when you have closed your heart to curiosity, when you've closed your heart to playfulness, when I have closed my heart to someone calling me crazy, then I have 0 curiosity about anything they're saying that could be true and I have no reference point for my individual truth or my journey actually being real because I have no reference point for someone else's point of view.
When I have a coldness of the heart, when I've closed my heart to everyone else's verbiage or everyone else's opinion, I actually robbed myself of a spiritual growth moment. Now, it doesn't mean that you have to take what your family is saying as reality, right?
You don't have to wear it. You don't have to let it hit your heart and go deep in there and start to create a belief. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that, look at what's happening on social media right now, where we have camps that are Democrats and Republicans, pro this, anti that, fight for this, defend against that.
All it does is just create more war, more suffering, and more division. That's the opposite of evolution. But paradoxically, it has to occur this way because the only way that we know is through conflict.
So what Paul is talking about, and what the Bible indirectly says, the blindness of the mind is correlated to the coldness of the heart, what that means is, and what the Bible is saying, if you can have a beginner's mind, and we talked about this on an upcoming episode with Paul Chek that we'll link in the show notes, it is a barn-buster episode.
It is literally one of my favorite episodes about this topic, right? Paul was labeled as absolutely insane when he came out with Swiss ball training. People called him a weirdo, why would you train with a Swiss ball, and now Swiss balls are totally accepted.
It's the same thing with his spirit gym and with all his teachings around God and modernity. So if we have a coldness of the heart, and I can think back in my life to even being a parent, I used to believe more, this is how crazy the coldness of my heart was.
I used to believe that circumcision was not only normal, but it was healthy. I actually believe that. And it wasn't until getting informed by the feminine wisdom of Carrie Michelle, watching documentaries, seeing how it's a very barbaric Judaic practice that's 1 step away, Jung described, from child mutilation, child sacrifice. That's what, that's essentially what it is.
I became aware that my beliefs were not only not of service, that they were truly unloving and they could have been, I mean, I'm so thankful that my beliefs didn't get transferred onto my son. Can you imagine if I would have allowed the tip of his penis to get cut off in the first day or year or week of his life? That would have been so traumatic for him, right? So traumatic.
But I used to believe I was harbored by Wetiko that was taught to me by my parents who were taught society who is actually informed by a very demonic energy in the Judaic faith. And I'm not anti-Semitism, so don't label me that. Every religion has its darkness, right? Christianity, Islam, they all have darkness.
But what I'm saying is that the coldness in my heart and the lack of open-mindedness to even hearing someone else's point of view could have caused my son pain. Could have caused my son pain.
So this is a call to be emotionally regulated enough and to do the work of emotional regulation, to be open to what your family is saying to you when they say that you're crazy.
Does it mean you're crazy? Maybe, maybe not. But it's up to you and your soul to decide what is gonna evolve here in the most loving way and are the that I'm making actually going to provide myself and my loved ones and the people I care about a good result? Because that's the game that we're playing...
Dr. Mark Sherwood | Boosting Your Brain + Body Detox Pathways With Molecular Hydrogen

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 583
How does hydrogen help your body fight free radicals?
Dr. Mark Sherwood, Naturopathic Doctor and co-founder of the Functional Medical Institute, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast, episode 583, to share how molecular hydrogen aids natural detox pathways, why the U.S. medical system is dysfunctional, and how big food and Big Pharma are connected through the FDA.
"When you get hydroxyl radical build up, there's only one thing that the body has at its disposal arsenal to deal with it: Hydrogen. We have to have hydrogen because it diminishes the hydroxyl radical. When we have that, we're able to selectively dismantle those excess free radicals." - Dr. Mark Sherwood

"People are not living right now longer, they're dying longer. They're not living through life, they're dying through life. Our health trends are the worst in history, we're creating more diseases faster than we're growing people. Obesity is the fastest growing non-communicable disease in history of mankind. At least 70% of the United States of America population is either obese or overweight." - Dr. Mark Sherwood
Is Ignorance Bliss?
"Ignorance can be bliss until you realize ignorance is deadly." - Dr. Mark Sherwood
The Problem with Big Pharma
"We have healthcare but it's not healthcare it's sick-care. And the sick care doctors are trained in a system that's driven and funded by Big Pharma. So Big Government and Big Pharma fund Big Education. Big Education is nothing more than legalized drug dealers that provide medications through the model of our sick care system to manage people who are made sick by the same system." - Dr. Mark Sherwood
Love Yourself First
"If you can't love yourself, you don't have the capability to love others fully. You have to love yourself first. You have to figure that out. And that does not come without pain.

Breathing is the physiological intercept to our mental state. So, if things are going haywire, I can turn back to my breathing and control the physiological reactions that are happening in my mind. If I can take a step back and do that, I'm actually fixing the entire system. - Brian Mackenzie
How can you enhance your health through nostril breathing versus breathing through the mouth?
Is technology a crutch to how you eat, move, and sleep?
On Wellness Force Radio episode 203, the mind behind The Art of the Breath Clinics, Co-Founder of Power Speed, Endurance, and Co-Author of Unplugged, Brian Mackenzie, shares why breathing is a by-product of what's going on in the brain, how to be more mindful of technology use, and how we can change our state of mind at any moment we choose.
Discover the process of rewiring the subconscious mind through conscious training, breathwork, and heightened awareness.
"There's an integrative piece in the body that breathing is a by-product of what's going on in the brain. Our emotions, pain, or what we're cognitively thinking is actually our respiration rate if we're not consciously aware." - @brianmackenzie http://bit.ly/wfpodcast

Power Quotes From The Show
"Meditation is a practice that you put into play that becomes a part of what you're doing. I can breathe, visualize, or focus on some sounds. We need to make these changes in the moment so that we can refocus on the task at hand." - @brianmackenzie http://bit.ly/wfpodcast
"By design, we want comfort and we want life to be easy. Just look at the world we live in today. It's so easy today to get food or whatever we want at any given moment but go back a hundred years and it wasn't possible. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it but we get so focused on what is making things easy and comfortable that we forget that the only reason we make change is because of discomfort. Getting caught in that, we get afraid of stepping outside our comfort complex of technology." - Brian Mackenzie
"I daily catch myself spending too much time on my phone but I know what I need to do as a result of that. So, if I've been on my phone for too long, I know I need to take a visual break because my visual system actually works with my physiology and my entire body reacts. In those situations, I do a breathing pattern, look 20 feet away from me in the distance, listen to music, or go outside to easily change what I'm doing for a few minutes to instantly improve how I feel." - Brian Mackenzie
"Meditation is a practice that you put into play that becomes a part of what you're doing, but I can breathe, look at my visual system, or focus in on some sounds. I can do a lot of things in the moment and this is what we're really trying to teach. We want to be able to make these changes in the moment so that I can focus on what I need to or be open to what I need to do." - Brian Mackenzie
"Technology is only being used to get us back to what it is that we're capable of actually doing ourselves. Technology is going to help and allow us to do a lot more, but how far are we removing ourselves from these basic physiological responses? Technologically is going to allow us to get back to that place." - Brian Mackenzie
"Everybody has a response to fear. Even Navy SEALS have the exact same response that you and I have and these are the supposed to be the people who aren't afraid of anything, but that's not true; we're all the same and we all have the same reaction. It's about how fast they come back to their baseline. Most of us have a great jolt of fear and then it takes awhile to come back down or we need to be in that state of anxiety or sympathy for a longer period of time. That's where our breathing is playing the biggest role." - Brian Mackenzie

082 Tina Muir: Running For Wellness
00:52:00
Tina Muir is a Saucony sponsored professional ELITE runner who recently represented Great Britain in the World Half Marathon Championships. Tina is the Community Manager for RunnersConnect and host of popular running podcast Run to the Top. Tina is originally from St. Albans, UK, now living in Lexington, KY with her husband (and coach) Steve. With PRs of 16:08 (5k), 33:24 (10k), 1:13 (half marathon), 2:41 (marathon), Tina may have elite speed, but she candidly shares what it means to train, live and breathe your dreams (while still maintaining balance!) on her blog tinamuir.com.
"Running is a lot like life. The more you persevere through those difficult moments, the better it feels afterwards. I realized early on that if I could persevere better than most people, I would feel so much better knowing that I overcame the mental demons while I was running." - Tina Muir
On this podcast, Tina shares her experiences and expertise, what it takes to build a strong body and mind, and most importantly how it feels to use running for life and wellness in an open and honest way.
Running For Health, Wellness, and Life
Every year hundreds of thousands of new runners lace up their new shoes and hit the pavement striding towards their wellness and health goals. For Tina, and many of us on the wellness path, running is more than just breaking a sweat, it's a way of living a wellness based life.
Over the past decade and beyond, Tina has worked her way to represent Great Britain as a professional athlete, but her road to the top has not come without busting through many personal and physical thresholds. She believes that whether you're an endomorph, ectomorph, or mesomorph, the right style of running has the potential to change not only your physical health, but to sharpen the edge of your mind.
As the community manager of Runners Connect, a pro, and busy wife, she literally runs and walks her talk.
From surmounting panic attacks, growing personal power, and upgrading emotional health, Tina believes in following her heart; it's the message she spreads not only on the Run to The Top podcast but on her highly popular running blog called "Fuel Your Future."
She reminds us with her life's work how running can be a beautiful mirror for the mental hurdles we all scale.
"With running, it's actually us against sabotaging ourselves." - Tina Muir
Being Imperfectly Perfect
Tina shares openly and honestly in this Wellness Force Radio podcast and on her blog about running outside of the current paradigm where runners are "supposed" to look:
"For me, yes I could lose those extra few pounds, but then I risk sending myself down a dark, obsessive path, and it would mean I would not get to enjoy the cake and ice cream that does make me happy, so I would rather stay as I am, but know I am enjoying my food, and staying healthy as a runner.Every single body has something to celebrate. Every single runner has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and that should be taken into account. Do not spend your life trying to look like someone else, spend your life doing what makes you happy, and the rest will follow." - Tina Muir
Aloha! Josh here. Listen, I deeply value your thoughts, now let your voice be heard. I live to serve the Wellness Force even better based on your words, feedback, and requests. (including how these episodes can allow you to break bad habits)

Why everything that happens to us is happening for love and that everything is going to be okay.
How society has been built up to glorify war and all of this loss that people are willing to or have to suffer.
The loss we all go through and that feeling of sadness that allows us to connect with other people. (1:17:00)
"Understand that there will be peaks and valleys throughout your lifetime; you just can't have one without the other. When you know that you're in a valley, then you can navigate it in a way that's the most effective as opposed to getting lost in the darkness. Give your thoughts and emotions their space, observe them, allow them to pass by, and do whatever you can to just gently find your way out of it but never by forcing, masking, or holding them down." - Brandon Beachum
The Positive Side Of Relationships Ending
"All relationships have the purpose of growth and the idea that one has to last forever in order to be successful is a big misconception that permeates our collective consciousness. You are going to come together with different energies for all of eternity and thank goodness there is some shelf-life to all of them. Whether you spend a whole lifetime together or 5 weeks or 5 days, that separation gives us the opportunity to miss the relationship and have gratitude for it. You never truly lose anyone or anything. Honor that relationship, know that you are infinitely abundant and the universe will send whatever else you need." - Brandon Beachum
Experiencing Life Fully Through Love, Wonder, And Pain
"God is using all of these 'painful experiences' for love in the end. Wholeheartedly, we will or already have experienced every type of love, wonder, or pain in our lifetimes. That's the game, I believe, that our soul signed up for; it signed up to go down the deep rabbit hole of contrast so that it could fully appreciate who and what we are in this life. Understanding that helps us realize that it's all going to be okay in the end. We are not victims because everything that we experience is not happening to us but for us. Life is not happening to you, it is always, always, and always happening for you."- Brandon Beachum
Brandon Beachum is a podcaster, entrepreneur, writer, musician, philosopher, and truth-seeker. He originally made his way to California from the east coast when his former band received a development deal with Elektra Records back in 2001. Brandon has been a serial entrepreneur since childhood and in 2010, while living on a friend’s couch, he founded what is now his first recognizably successful company, ResortShare. In August of 2015, ResortShare was named the 569th fastest-growing private company in America in the annual Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list. In October 2015 ResortShare received an offer to be bought out for $30 million dollars by a publicly-traded company, but within 12 hours of receiving the offer, they lost 90% of their revenue stream due to an exclusive arrangement a major partner (Booking.com) signed with a much larger competitor. Brandon learned some great life lessons through this hardship and throughout his experience at ResortShare and is now focusing on various other projects. (Positive Head, HelloVacay.com, Sesh.io)
The Ultimate Nature Of Reality
Since discussing and continually exploring what he refers to as “The Ultimate Nature of Reality” is something he feels called very strongly to do, he decided that launching a podcast would be the best avenue to pursue his calling and to help bring that increasingly popular topic of conversation to a broader audience. So in May 2015, he launched PositiveHead.com and The Positive Head Podcast. The show’s aim is to help listeners consistently maintain elevated vibration. In an effort to help the listeners achieve that aim, every Wednesday he interviews a different author, director, artist, blogger, scientist, entrepreneur or other notable personality who is out there making a positive impact on the world. He has been extremely fortunate to have the privilege to interview some amazing and highly-respected guests in the very first year of his show (i.e. Dr. Eben Alexander, Marian Goodell, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Nassim Haramein).
Brandon's Dedication To Better Wellness
On the other weekdays, Brandon and his co-host Dalien give interpretations of their favorite quotes, share a bit of mind-expanding or mysterious news, take questions from the audience, and dig into any other mind-expansive topics that they feel will help keep the listeners’ souls fed on a regular basis. The Positive Head Podcast has continued to experience exponential growth and was featured in the “New & Noteworthy” section on iTunes within weeks of being launched, and is currently listed in the “What’s Hot” section on iTunes in multiple categories.
Brandon is also currently in the process of writing his first two books, The Fountain of You: How the marriage of science and spirituality is birthing us into the age of timelessness and The Talk: A wakeup call for those ready to re-member.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it'll run your life and you'll call it fate.” - Carl Jung
"Neurolinguistic programming is the user manual for your mind. From primary school to university, nobody really teaches us how to think. We're taught what to think. We don't take into account that during the 0-7 age period we are all in the developmental stage called the imprint period. During that time we have no ability to filter anything that comes through our consciousness. So, anything that comes through our 5 senses is all internalized because we cannot filter them and we have no control over what is there in our subconscious thoughts." - Scott Jackson

Power Quotes From The Show
The Ultimate Generational Cycle Breaker
"What if we believed that healing could be fast? That healing could be easy? Guess what? Healing actually really is that simple. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. I've literally had people come to me and share that neurolinguistic programming has been a generational cycle breaker." - Scott Jackson
Let Go of Old Beliefs
"With the neurolinguistic programming technique, what we look at is structure, not content. So, if I believe that I'm not good enough or that I'm not worthy and that's an unconscious belief that is still held linguistically, that is also still held neurologically as well. If we can break the structure of neurology, then the belief can no longer exist within us." - Scott Jackson
What it Takes to Have Freedom
"Do you want to live from a place of trauma and suffer for your whole life or would you rather have freedom? That doesn't mean freedom doesn't evolve some kind of suffering to get there because it can and being free of things can be painful. Breaking patterns can be painful. The price of going through whatever you have to go through to achieve freedom has to be greater, more motivational, and more desirable than the continued suffering of maintaining my pain." - Scott Jackson
"I began the path of spiritual and personal development with my recovery journey from alcoholism and drug addiction in April of 2003.
Over the course of 18 years of active addiction, I lost everything and everyone that ever mattered to me and burned my life to the ground.
I finally reached the jumping off point, and I committed and went all in to never go back to my old life, and to move forward towards personal freedom and personal power at all costs.
Little did I know in the beginning, that my pursuit of sobriety would become a spiritual path.
A spiritual path that would demand self-sacrifice, commitment, self-discipline, and selfless service to others.” - Scott Jackson

027 Michael Strasner: Creating A Life Worth Living
01:05:37
Today I'm both excited and honored to have one of the most respected leading experts in personal transformation, Michael Strasner.
During the last 30 years, he has worked with over a 100 thousand students and people from all over the United States, South America, and Europe.
Through his mastery of coaching and understanding the psychology of leadership and human behavior, he has been able to facilitate and design extraordinary workshops dedicated to the art of life and living on the Skinny Branches.
He’s been a featured guest in newspaper articles, podcasts, and radio shows, sharing his expertise on such diverse topics as effective communication, connection and intimacy in relationships, building self-esteem, the power of authenticity, personality adapting through style flexing, powerful and impactful public speaking, and jump-starting your passion for life.
His personal vision is to create a world of peace, love,unity, and abundance. This is reflected in the work he does in the domain of personal transformational training.
He has also authored several workshops: Mastering the Art of Relationship, The Entrepreneurial Mind, Mastering Leadership for Teenagers, The Masters Course, and the highly regarded L.P. Ph.D. Program.
Through his commitment to creating leadership in others, he has mentored and developed dozens of world-class trainers and coaches, who are currently facilitating workshops globally.
From Michael's Book: "Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Courage is action in the face of fear.” When we feel fear, we’re paralyzed. When we take action in the face of that fear, we become courageous. When we become courageous, we become confident. When we become confident, we become powerful. When we become powerful, we become risk-takers. When we become risk-takers, we’re moving on up to the Skinny Branches of the tree, and now we’re inspiring other people to do the same." -Michael Strasner
407 Josh Trent | The Art of Masculinity: Changing Your Life's Shoreline, Authoritative Playfulness & Rites of Passage
01:03:58
How do I adapt my shoreline to the capacity that the feminine energy that I love is asking for? Well, the only way that I can change the geography of my shoreline is by doing a rite of passage that will actually change my shoreline forever. - Josh Trent
Wellness Force Media Founder, Josh Trent, joins host of The Art of Masculinity Podcast, Johnny Elsasser, to discuss how to adjust your shoreline through a Rites of Passage, the power of true brotherhood, and break down of the three stages of intelligence: gathering, applying, and embodying for greater emotional wisdom.
Introducing a powerful organic blend of apple cider vinegar and four more gut & health supportive superfoods.
Paleovalley Apple Cider Vinegar Complex is a powerful aid to get organic apple cider vinegar into your body faster, easier, and without having to tolerate the taste.
Their Apple Cider Vinegar Complex also contains four additional superfoods shown to support gut health, inflammation reduction, weight loss, and blood sugar stabilization. Unlike other similar products, they use all organic ingredients in order to avoid the pesticides and herbicides so prevalent in our food system today.
They use gentle processing in an effort to preserve as many of the unique and fragile nutrients found in apple cider vinegar and these other four superfoods as possible.
Breaking down what a true rite of passage actually is, how it changes the 'shoreline of your being' and how to complete one.
The various types of Rites of Passages around the world and what Josh enjoyed the most about his experience doing a Native American based Vision Quest.
[8:30] True Brotherhood
Why gangs and the military are the closest things we have to a 'Rites of Passage' in American culture and neither are very good for our wellbeing or psyche.
Exploring why you cannot have true power or brotherhood from a place of violence and war; only from a place of peace.
How these groups with dogmatic, controlling leaders begin to grow an infection of resentment within and it begins to unravel the brotherhood.
The fact that the old school patriarchy was infected and has operated from that space for a millennia but we're now witnessing this positive shift away from that mentality.
Why it's foolish to think that evil does not exist because in the world there are fear and love, chaos and order, dark and night...there are always opposing forces because all is God.
Unpacking the 'tipping point' we all face when we have experienced a way of being that is creating pain.
Why we encounter the tipping point every single day and how we can show up by choosing to be aware of our reality and then decide how we will adapt and serve in that awareness.
Tools that help Josh be aware, show up, adapt, and serve including breathwork.
How to show up as a better man by following the three phases of intelligence: gather, apply, and embody.
How men can apply breathwork and greater awareness in their relationships to help them solve difficult moments especially when old programming is going on in your mind's background.
"Why is it so hard when we're presented as men with a new way of being? It's so hard because we are fighting biology. Steven Pressfield calls it 'the resistance.' So, what is resistance's number one job? What is a holodyne's number one job? What is a core belief that got installed almost like a microchip in a computer; what is its core job? Its core job is to function without change. So, when I am presented with new information that goes against the construct of the programs that were installed in my mind that activate the holodynes and the beliefs and the way of being, there is going to be a system error, right? That is when your soul has to come in, see things from an observer perspective, and override the programming." - Josh Trent
The Tipping Point We Face Every Day
"We all have a tipping point that comes when we have experienced a way of being that is creating pain. We change through pleasure and pain; it's an axis and the reason that dark comes really strong right before light is because every day we're in a tipping point. Every single day you and I as men can choose to show up as authoritative playful leaders based on our environment and what we're aware of happening in it. How can you do this? First you have to choose that you want to be aware of what is actually going on in reality; not the subjective reality but the objective reality that you can see from 30,000 feet. After that, ask yourself, 'What is my decision making faculty about how I'm going to adapt and serve in that awareness?' " - Josh Trent
What It Means To Be An Authoritative Playful Man
"Authoritative Playfulness is what men need to cultivate because if we can be authoritative and playful, that can be trusted. Authoritative means you take care of your body, you take care of your mental health; maybe you learn how to use firearms properly to protect you and your family, maybe you learn how to grow food. Maybe you learn all kinds of skills that can protect from a place of peace and love against evil because evil is real just like love is real. Evil is real because we are still at the consciousness level where we are still carrying out the wishes of evil and those come from greed, resentment, and betrayal which are all ego wounding....
...They are still these deep, bloody ego wounds that we are uncovering from thousands of years of people being mistreated and honestly trying to be led from dogmatism. So, we get to be authoritative and we get to be playful because we have to have fun and we have to be loving. That's the art form of being authoritative playful and that's what us men have to embody today."

Build Immunity. Breathe Deeply.
A simple, powerful 21 minute morning system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.
It's great to have knowledge but that by itself doesn't vaccinate you from having a healthy lifestyle. You have to be able to translate that into skills. Sometimes that skill development is hard and sometimes it's easy. Either way, just actually trying something for the first time breaks the seal so what was theoretical before and is internal now." - Dan Pardi
How can you become the scientist and expert of your own mind, body, and soul through personalized health and wellness experimentation?
In Wellness Force Radio episode 206, CEO of humanOS.me and host of humanOS Radio, Dan Pardi, returns for the third time to explain how you can become the architect of your own wellness journey, the best way to utilize performance-enhancing devices, and how to incorporate meaningful but simple self-care practices into your daily life.
By the end of this episode, you will be well-equipped to weed through all of the information, studies, and research out there to find the best sources that will help you become your best version.
"I call them, 'performance-enhancing devices,' because 'tracker' isn't the best way to think about them. Trackers give data but performance-enhancing devices are using that data to actually get you to do more of the good thing." - Dan Pardi of @humanOS_me http://bit.ly/wfpodcast
human OS is the most complete, sophisticated, but easy-to-use personal health application available today.

The Loop Model - why he created it and how it can help people adapt to healthy behaviors for the long-term.
How you can read between the lines of nutrition studies in order to have a clear idea of what you're actually learning.

The impact that humanOS and being healthy in this modern world has on your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
How humanOS allows its users to continuously learn more and more about health every day while also being able to enjoyable process.
The different takes on fitness wearables and why he uses technology to help him fulfill his wellness goals.

Power Quotes From The Show
"Be really gentle with yourself. Follow the ebb and flow in the reality of your life but seek to have fun with it. Enjoying what you do is the most important thing to a successful health practice over the length of a lifespan." - Dan Pardi of @humanOS_me http://bit.ly/wfpodcast
"In order for someone to adopt and sustain healthy behaviors long-term, they should understand why they're doing something, how to do it, if they're doing it correctly, and if it's working. You can see that those are four really discrete factors and so you do need to understand health science. We can't totally outsource research because you're going to be the one that's making decisions in your life; nobody's going to make more decisions that you will. So, having some knowledge about all these things that can affect your health is actually an opportunity." - Dan Pardi
"The replication crisis demonstrates that studies should be replicated with a different lab. With a detailed method section, someone should be able to pick up that study, follow the protocol, do exactly the same study, and get a very similar result. Often times, the real crisis is that we're not seeing enough replication because of incentives from the journals. Journals want to publish new, positive information versus what's been done before." - Dan Pardi
"Don't you want experts involved in the generation of new compounds that could help patients? Don't you want people that have tons of patient experience that understand the ins and outs of seeing an individual of all different types come into their clinic? Don't you want them to have a voice in the process from the very beginning so that they can guide the clinical development program in a manner that's going to lead us to the best understanding of whether or not this drug can help?" - Dan Pardi
"Part of the mindset of someone who is seeking health expertise is someone who recognizes that habits aren't just something that we learn in a week or a month; it's an ongoing process. Part of the right mindset is somebody who thinks of themselves as a regular learner by taking in new information, thinking about it, drawing diagrams, and talking about it in their community." - Dan Pardi
"Instead of viewing the Ketogenic as, 'Is this the right diet?' view it as 'I'm going to give it a try. How did I do with it? What did I learn about my body from trying it?' The same thing with the Mediterranean diet; instead of viewing it as the best diet ever, we can look at the benefits of it. It's really impossible to decide which diet is best but it's certainly not impossible to say what diet is best for you because you can try it and if you feel really good, you like the food, and it's sustainable plus you're getting the results you want, then that's great." - Dan Pardi
Dan’s life’s work centers on how to help people live healthfully. He is the CEO of humanOS.me which leverages a novel behavior model to promote health fluency, skill development, and lifestyle insights to help people master their health practice.

"Fear is just an internal alarm system that your body sets off. And so when we give it more power and credence, when we stamp that label on our souls, it begins to dictate all of our actions." - Dr. John Delony

"If you have social anxiety disorder and you don't like being around groups of people, if you avoid groups of people because your body makes you anxious, your body gets exactly what it wanted, which is to not die via that group of people. So it knows this is the way to keep us safe and to avoid that group of people. It reinforces the anxiety. The only way to turn that alarm down is to head right into that group of people." - Dr. John Delony
We Don't Want to Feel Uncomfortable
"We've been solving for comfort at a pace that far outpaced our body's ability to shift. We've run out of things to be uncomfortable about and so it's shifted into this world of ideas and feelings. I think we've just naturally become accustomed to never being uncomfortable, never being challenged. " - Dr. John Delony
Two Greatest Lies Told Men + Women
"Terry Reel says, there's been 2 great lies in the last 60 years of transformation. One is that the feminist movement told women they don't need anybody, they just need themselves, and the greatest path forward is to act more like men. And the greatest lie told men is women are the problem, they don't need to change. If things could get back to the way they were then everything would be fine. I don't care what gender you are, you can't do life by yourself." - Dr. John Delony
Dr. John Delony earned his Bachelor of Arts in humanities and psychology at Lubbock Christian University and his Masters of Education in higher education administration from Texas Tech University.
He went on to earn two PhDs from Texas Tech University—one in counselor education and supervision, and the other in higher education administration.

394 Adam Roa | 3 Pillars For Radical Life Change: Poetry About Life, Love & Freedom
02:18:40
There are 3 Pillars to what I personally believe will shift someone's life and what I stand for which are Consciousness, Creativity, and Community. Consciousness brings you to the awareness of new ideas, ways of thinking, and ways of being. Consciousness makes us aware of the choices that are available to us. Creativity is the thing that isn't attached to the result. Creativity is the purest expression of your soul. It is the most healing frequency that you can bring through your body. It's your unadulterated, unfiltered expression and it doesn't have to be tied to how you earn your living but it gets to be part of your life. The third one is community and I think that it's very important for us to have a community that supports us along the way. - Adam Roa
Host of the The Deep Dive Podcast as well as Founder of bothThe C.R.E.A.T.E CommunityandSurrendered Artists, Adam Roa, explores the masks we wore before COVID-19, the 3 Pillars to being yourself, how to integrate the ego using creative arts, and how he has used his own trauma to propel him forward in life.
Are you experiencing a radical life change or are you craving one?
This podcast episode is divine timing as Adam discusses the power of freewill and manifestation during difficult times.
Belcampo was founded with a purpose: to create meat that’s good for people, planet and animals.
What started as one mom’s desire to feed her family the healthiest meat possible became a mission to revolutionize the industry from the inside out. Belcampo is the pioneer of hyper-sustainable, organic, grass-fed and -finished, Certified Humane meats, broths, and jerkies. The company is on a mission to revolutionize the meat industry for the well-being of people, the planet, and animals by farming meat the right way – with Certified Humane, regenerative, and climate-positive practices, which means it’s better for you, the planet and the animals.
Conventionally raised animals are confined to feedlots and eat a diet of inflammatory grains, but Belcampo’s animals graze on open pastures and seasonal grasses resulting in meat that is higher in nutrients and healthy fats.
His belief that art is the highest leverage way that we can shift human consciousness.
Exploring the "masks" we ourselves wore even before COVID-19.
Asking the question, "How often do we really look at, notice, and see people?"
Why we crave to be authentic yet at the same time we are putting up our own walls around the truth of how we're feeling with ourselves.
The fact that many people cannot openly admit that they are unhappy in their marriage, with their job, or anything else in their lives.
Adam's own biggest "mask" covering his authentic self and how he was able to remove it.
His struggles in high school not feeling like he was enough to be accepted by his peers.
Why he saw high school as a game that he could play and work his way to being popular yet when he got there he never felt different about himself and his insecurities.
The fact that many people believe there is an achievement that is going to change their world forever but then all their thoughts, feelings, and insecurities still remain.
[17:30] Is The Life We're "Supposed" To Live A Lie?
Why Adam began questioning if everything else in life is a lie (college, career, money, things) if reaching his goal of popularity in high school didn't subdue his insecurities.
How he helps people when they get stuck on their own mountaintop of achievement and still feel unfulfilled.
Why we're not allowing ourselves, as a society, to even have a moment to give ourselves permission to take off our masks.
Society's expectations of men and why you're not "truly a man" if you let your guard down, fail, or show your emotions.
The toxicity in telling someone to "man up" and we need to be having more conversations about emotional intelligence, inner work, and just be more vulnerable.
Why Adam openly puts himself out there with his insecurities and vulnerability to help other people.
Struggles he has faced with depression, being molested at a young age, and being late to puberty.
The fact that we are the sum of the 5 people that we spend the most of our time with in life.
Unpacking the 1/3 rule: Why you want 1/3 of the people that you spend time with to be those who look up to you, 1/3 to be peers, and 1/3 to be people that you look up to.
[29:30] The Power Of Free Will & Manifestation In Difficult Times
His and his former partner's mission for greater self development and how they teamed up with Preston Smiles and Alexi Panos to help facilitate their trainings.
The choice he and his former partner made to give away or sell 75% of their belongings as they surrendered to divine intervention and a new way of living life.
Why we will always have the choice in how we respond to our circumstances and environment.
What steps you can take to move forward, respond, and be resilient when sudden change impacts your life.
How to use other examples of people overcoming difficult obstacles to manifest positive energy in your own life.
Why how you respond now to a challenge will create the energetics of your next opportunities.
How we can embody bad habits just like we do with good habits even if we have a beneficial goal in mind.
Adam's own inner work journey which led him to an Ayahuasca circle and spiritual awakening.
[40:00] How To Integrate The Ego With The Creative Arts
The beauty of humility and accepting that maybe you don't have things figured out and this is an opportunity to grow.
The fact that we embody all of our current limiting beliefs until we work on them and grow.
Why it's so important to integrate your ego because if you don't, the ego blocks the conscious repetition of embodying love, belief in oneself, and beyond.
Steps you can take to healthily dissolve and integrate the ego without plant medicine.
Why Adam believes that anything that can happen in a plant medicine ceremony can also happen without it.
Exploring altered states of consciousness in and outside of plant medicine ceremonies and why these states are a necessity.
Breaking down how 98% of our thoughts are ones that we have unconsciously had before and the vast majority come from a space of negativity.
Other things you can do to get to a state of altered consciousness such as breatwork, meditation, yoga, or a hard workout.
How music, art, and spoken word help us integrate our egos.
The fact that true, sustainable change and shifts happen at the emotional level.
Why art can bypass so much of the ego mind because we've given it the permission to do that already.
How we stop hurt people, especially younger generations, from hurting people by equipping humans to deal with the inevitable hurt.
Why his mind suppressed his memory of being sexually molested at the age of 5 years old until he was ready and in an environment to help him heal from it.
How art creates a safe space for people to process and share their trauma and how you can equip your children with this tool.
Why, unless you're leading with compassion, you won't change a thing on your healing journey.
How Adam sees compassion as a way for us to externalize our self love.
Why some people including his ex-girlfriend feel that they cannot be as open about their thoughts, beliefs, and emotions like Adam can.
His empathy for people who feel like they cannot express themselves and how much they must be hurting because of it.
Why we cannot truly have compassion for others until we have compassion for ourselves first.
Why you have to feel worthy of the thing you want to call into your life from a place of self-love.
The fact that sometimes we have to unlearn things that cut us off from self-love and compassion.
[58:30] Understanding Our Karmic Patterns, Purpose, and Desires
Programmed life expectations that Josh learned at an early age that he had to learn to let go of: expect the worst to happen, money causes pain, and people can't be trusted.
Why Adam believes that we never actually conquer programmed thoughts, beliefs, and feelings.
How Adam views karma not as a cosmic scorecard but what your soul has agreed to including the particular limiting beliefs and wounds that you will take on in this lifetime that will become the edges of your comfort zone.
Exploring God's love for us and how we are expressions of that love as we exercise our desires by being in alignment through our work on earth.
Why writing has become one of the biggest ways for Adam to process his thoughts and emotions.
A writing practice for you by answering this question: What is the absolute worst case scenario that you are afraid of right now? Can I be okay with that reality?
Adam's own worst case scenario and why he has those fears because he was concerned with how people would view him.
How we can change our energy towards what fears frighten us the most by making peace with that possibility and run towards the vision that we want to create for ourselves.
How Adam as opened himself up as a vessel for writing and has shared that experience in his book, Cosmic Philosophy.
The power of giving your thoughts and emotions a voice to help you process them and how that was one of the deepest ways that Adam was able to manage his depression.
How it took Josh two years to work through and heal the PTSD and OCD he received from a plant medicine ceremony.
Why so many people ask him what self-love really is and his thoughts on it today.
How to start investing in a relationship with yourself to help you create greater self-love and attract the life that you want from the universe.
Why heartbreak can be one of the most impactful experiences that keeps us from greater awareness, consciousness, and personal growth.
"The day that everyone started face masks I asked myself, 'How much do we really see someone?' Even if they're walking down the street and I notice them, do I really see them? In society, people are craving authenticity and yet at the same time putting up their own walls around the truth of how they're feeling with themselves. So many people are not being honest with themselves about the fact that they're unhappy in their marriage or their job or where they live or they feel really lonely or whatever it is." - Adam Roa
You Don't Need A Breakdown For A Breakthrough
"You're not strong because of your trauma. You're strong because of how you responded to the trauma which was your inherit birthright of divine strength and spirit. The human spirit is unbelievable! So, why would I tether my strength to that trauma? I'm going to say, 'No.' I brought my strength to respond to that trauma and that is what turned me into this person. Because I used my spirit. I used my strength. I used my courage. I used all of me to work through that trauma and it shaped me in this way but I didn't need that. That didn't have to happen for me to be inherently strong and capable and worthy. If that were the case, we would be intentionally inflicting it upon everyone because it would be a necessity but it's not. The breakdown isn't the only way we to grow and get the breakthrough. You can find the breakthrough differently and we need to stop assigning our strengths to our traumas and woundings." - Adam Roa
What You Resist Persists
"If you really go into your worst case scenario of what could happen and just make peace with that possibility - what we resists persists - and so you're no longer in resistance to that scenario. If it happens, it happens and you can still do everything you can to not go in that direction. That's not going to change but the energy changes. You're now not running away from your worst case scenario but running towards the vision you have for yourself." - Adam Roa

Build Immunity. Breathe Deeply.
A simple, powerful 21 minute morning system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.
When it comes to health and wellness, there is nothing more powerful than our habits.
But in this modern, busy, sometimes even crazy world, what is the real secret to habit change that we all can apply?
Does it matter for better wellness that you get up early, never take a bite of vanilla cake again, do crossfit or go running? Or is your tendency type so fixed so that you can eat what you want and still be healthy?
In this episode, we'll get the answers to all these burning questions and much more, as we uncover the secret to habit change with #1 New York Times Best-selling Author, Gretchen Rubin.
The Secret To Habit Change
I sat down with world famous author Gretchen Rubin last week in the Wellness Force studio to dive deep into a powerful question:
Why do we do what we do?
What came next over the next 60 minutes was powerful knowledge and tools extracted from Gretchen's 10+ years of research to help us better understand our habits and behaviors so we can show up more vital, healthy, and fit in our lives.
Not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well.
Our wellness force is the energy source that fuels us to be our very best. So today, we're tapping into, and getting more clear on your wellness force.
She investigates the multiple strategies she’s identified that help us make and break our habits. After all, habits are the invisible architecture of a happy life, and when we change our habits, we change our lives.
The secret to changing a habit? First, we must know ourselves, so we can suit our habits to our own nature. It was Rubin’s longstanding interest in happiness that led her to the study of habits, because when she talked to people about their happiness challenges, they often pointed to a habit that they couldn’t make or break.
This pattern made her ask, “When and why can people successfully change a habit—or not?”
What It Really Takes To Change Our Habits
Many of us want to change our lives by getting rid of bad habits and adopting new habits. But changing something that is fundamental to our daily lives can be very difficult.
To get insights into how we can make effective and lasting habit changes, Gretchen Rubin explains the spark that lead to her researching how to use the power of custom habits to help transform our everyday lives.
On her own wellness journey and never-ending passion to master habits, Gretchen shares towards the end of the show how reading Gary Taubes book, "Why We Get Fat," dramatically increased her body and health awareness by changing her diet to low carb; which ended up transforming her life.
But before anyone can transform their life, they first must deeply know themselves. Gretchen has formulated just exactly how we can tap into this self-awareness in a system she calls "The Four Tendencies."
What Is Your Tendency Type?
Last month, I sent out Gretchen's 4 tendencies quiz to my social circles and here were the results:

We Have Arrived
If you’ve been listening to Wellness Force for awhile, or if you’ve been with us since the beginning, you know by now that great things tend to take us time, effort, and the hardest one of them all - trusting the process - especially when it comes to our wellness. For episode 100, I’m walking you through nine of my favorite moments over the past 100 interviews, to pull the gems of wisdom, moments of laughter, and the real life action steps that I've learned to both trust and believe in.
I want to share my truth: This entrepreneurial and podcast path has not been 100% rainbows. Even since early childhood, I have known, deep down, that I march to the beat of a different drummer. Maybe you feel that too, and that’s why you’re here. I’ve faced inner and outer demons I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and since I woke up in 2011, I’ve done some really, really, hard work to let go of old stories about genetics, beliefs, and the people and things that don't serve my wellness. But yet as hard as this has been, I’ve also learned that when you operate from a place of love and service to others, and if you really want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
This podcast has been my home, my work, and my life for almost two years now, and today, I get to give thanks to YOU.

9 World Class Wellness Influencers In 2017

Let’s hear what and why right now with David, and be sure to listen to episode 072 for the full show.
Michael Strasner
Michael Strasner is one of the most respected leading experts in personal transformation, and taught me in person how to open my heart in the advanced emotional intelligence and leadership course that changed my compass forever. This was a really emotional episode for me as from Micheal’s teachings, I was able to connect with my father after 2 years of not speaking, and let go of some weight I’d been carrying around for years. In this clip, Michael is talking with us about the difference between our feelings and emotions, and commitment to self, how we can harness energy to guide us towards wellness without letting emotions hold us back. Let’s drop in with Michael, and be sure to listen to episode 027 for the full show.

Be sure to check out episode 087 for the full show.
Nir Eyal
Nir Eyal is a best-selling author, speaker, and behavior change jedi-master that is educating people on how to build the sometimes challenging healthy habits we need to thrive in this technologically modern world. With the buzzing from apps, devices, and notifications pulling us away from our personal connections and conversations, Nir is teaching us about what he has come to know as the “Hook Model.” This is how companies create behaviors with technology that can benefit their users, or, turn them into addicts depending on their intention. In this clip, Nir pulls back the curtain for a look behind how companies use psychology to capture our attention, including triggers, actions, variable rewards and investment. Once we know how they do it, we can then consciously choose where we put our attention and avoid being disconnected from the relationships we care about. We can use technology to give us wellness, rather than take it away. You can hear Nir’s full story and mission on episode 048.
Daniel Schmachtenberger
Prepare to get you brain fed high octane on our next clip.

Lisa Perkins
This is where we trust our process. Lisa Perkins my friend and nutrition expert, is uncovering exactly how we can trust ourselves when it comes to food, by using intuition, time, and focused attention. Lisa shares about how when it comes to nutrition, rules minus relationship equals rebellion. When we impose rules upon ourself without first trusting the promises we make to our body about nourishing it, it’s going to end in rebellion. She believes that easy is earned; in the beginning of any nutrition program, you’ll have to pay attention to yourself just like if you were learning any new skill. Lisa not only has the science and accredited background as a precision nutrition coach, but she also has a heart of gold. Click on episode 085 for the full show with Lisa.
Ryan Yokome
What happens in your physical body when you hear the word money? Do you get loose or get tight? Our next clip is with Ryan Yokome, an internationally recognized expert in the field of personal transformation. Ryan is the CEO of Money & Miracles Breakthrough Coaching and essentially he believes that money is just an exchange of energy. The challenge comes when we have an unhealthy relationship with our energy around money that can deflect it. Ryan has an extraordinary presence you’ll feel in this clip. He shares about how a lack of expression as a teen blocked his physical and financial wellness as an adult, and the stages of work he went through to overcome the block to call in the money and health he always wanted. Set your player for episode 079 to hear the full show.
Dan Pardi
Our last clip is with a man who needs no introduction - health and human behavior specialist, Dan Pardi. Dan’s return to Wellness Force Radio is shining light on how we can use what he calls HumanOS to cut through the noise of the overwhelming information online so we can really find the health we’re looking for. Dan’s mission and his systems of finding the right answers for our mind, body, and spirit are so profound, we put his voice in our show intro. So in this final clip, Dan shares why no matter how much we know, it won't always inspire us to take the right actions. "Knowing without doing is the same thing as not knowing. What matters is if the knowledge that you have will give you an effective health practice for the long term.” Dan is one of my most trusted sources for wellness so you’ll want to download episode 088 for later.

Khalil Rafati | From Homeless To Limitless: One Man's Spiritual Journey of Learned Helplessness to Powerful Humility
02:29:21
You get taught that you are something but the truth is, it's not true and it's just a story. It could be a story that people told to you and then you start telling that story enough to yourself until you get to this place where you truly believe, 'That's it for me.' That's not it; it's false. At any moment, you can be in so much pain that you can literally change in an instant. You can turn and pivot and go in another direction. - Khalil Rafati

Power Quotes From The Show
What Pain Has Personally Taught Khalil
"In my life, pain truly is the touchstone of all spiritual growth. I personally cannot find the humility or the intelligence or the inspiration to have great breakthroughs; I'm just not wired like that. I have to fall down flat on my face or mess up in order to grow, succeed, and have that humility. Other people do not have to experience rock bottom like I did to do the inner work and begin healing but that was and still is my wellness journey." - Khalil Rafati
Become the Author of Your Own Story
"At a certain point in your life, you cannot rely on your parents anymore. You have to live in sovereignty and take full responsibility for everything that is going on in your life whether it's good or bad. You have to realize that you are the author of your own book of life. The good news is that there is a God or Source that you can turn to when you need it and if you go into your day with an attitude of gratitude, you're going to attract amazing things in your life." - Khalil Rafati
The Destination Is The Journey
"I didn't start SunLife Organics until I was 41 and I know people who at 25 are stressed that they don't know what they want to do with their life. If you knew what you wanted to do with the rest of your life at 25, I would be scared for you because the destination is the journey. You're supposed to struggle, be confused, be disenchanted, and go through hardships in life to grow, learn who you are, and find out what you want." - Khalil Rafati
Khalil Rafati is a speaker, author, and health & wellness entrepreneur. Today, he is the owner of SunLife Organics, a rapidly growing chain of popular juice and smoothie bars in the United States.
Additionally, he is the author of the best-selling book "I Forgot to Die" as well as his newest release "Remembering to Live."
He also founded Malibu Beach Yoga and Riviera Recovery, a transitional living facility for drug addicts and alcoholics.

245 Peter Sage: How To Reinvent Yourself
01:00:25
There’s a big difference in following your passion and following your potential. Following your passion is a comfort zone in which you feel good because there is no challenge. Following your potential will require you to leave that comfort zone in order to realize that potential. - Peter Sage

---> Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well.
Are you living up to your full potential and growing or are you staying in the comfort zone by pursuing your passions?
In Wellness Force Radio episode 245, International Speaker, Entrepreneur, and Author of The Inside Track, Peter Sage, teaches us how to apply the skill of surrendering through different levels of consciousness, why we should be following our potential rather than our passion, and why our biggest fear that we're not enough is due to the false belief that our self-worth is tied to our net worth.
Discover the process of re-contextualizing negative thoughts when your outer world doesn't fit your inner world.
What happens when you put a non-criminal and one of the world's top experts in personal growth, into one of the toughest prisons in the UK? In 2017, that's exactly what happened to Peter Sage when, during a civil matter, he was found in contempt of court. What unfolded next has become a masterclass in how to turn adversity to your advantage.
The Inside Track is the collection of 11 private letters that Peter sent to his elite coaching groups throughout his 6-month sentence. Written in a conversational style, each one breaks down the actual tools, techniques, and insights he uses and shows you how to face any problem in your life from a place of power, not force. How to stay calm and positive when life hits you with a bat and turn your biggest challenges into your greatest achievements.
As you follow this unique and incredible story, you'll discover not only how Peter was able to thrive in a place where angels fear to tread, but also leave a lasting mark that is now helping thousands of lives.
Listen To Episode 245 As Peter Sage Uncovers:
How he stumbled across the theme of personal growth and how that led him on a positive trajectory towards being an entrepreneur.
How we can go with the flow when unexpected events come up in life.
What guidance he was missing in high school that led him to leave in order to pursue more from life as an entrepreneur.
Why the ultimate resource we have is being able to be resourceful on our own.
The pros and cons of the modern education system in this century.
The path he went on to become successful through personal growth and entrepreneurship.
Why knowing one thing but doing another are completely different and you have to apply what you've learned to really see results.
The revelation he had that by applying himself, he had nothing to lose by trying.
Why we have this need to be right in order to feel validated whether that's in relationships, politics, or war.
Our brain's chemistry connection to our physical sensations and how that applies to negative or positive thinking.
How our brain is built to adapt to different environments, stressors, and situations.
His book, The Inside Track, and what he witnessed and experienced while spending 6 months in one of the toughest jails in the UK, Pentonville, and how that was his 'graduation event'.
How meeting with and speaking with the prisoners of Pentonville about themselves helped him realize the differences between freedom and liberty.
His bought of illness while competing in the Marathon des Sables and what lesson he learned about selflessness and the ego.
Willpower and how he has fueled his inspiration over the years amongst all the changes and obstacles he has faced.
Our views on money as either creating wounds and frustration or bringing us energy.
How anyone is capable of reinventing themselves in order to reach their full potential.
"'The difference between freedom and liberty is that freedom is a state of mind and the only thing that can be reduced is your liberty. No one can take away your freedom.' - @PeterSage007"
"An entrepreneur is simply being independent. Do you rely on something or someone else in order to get what you need to move forward or are you able to create that? That's the essence of an entrepreneur whether they're a parent, mother, or a business owner." - Peter Sage
"Depending on where your progress is at, the word, "surrender" will come into play at different levels of meaning. If you're in a lower vibrational aspect or state of consciousness, you're going to hear the word, "surrender" from a place of acquiesce or giving up and being dominated. If you're coming from a place of power and you're swimming with the river of life rather than against it, then you can come from a place of surrendering in which you're allowing for yourself to be taken from something that's greater than you because you're putting your trust in the universe or whatever you believe in." - Peter Sage
"The biggest challenge with money when it comes to the frustration and feeling wounded by it can be narrowed down to one false belief that our net worth is tied to our self-worth because the greatest fear we have as human beings is that we're not enough. Money is nothing more than a way that we perceive value. Most people will compromise their values around money faster than anything else to avoid the fear that they're not enough." - Peter Sage
Peter Sage is a well known international & serial entrepreneur, author, philosopher, and teacher. His unique way of looking at and relating to life has inspired tens of thousands of people worldwide to reinvent themselves. Whether by improving or turning around a business or developing a new and empowering psychology through practical yet profound shifts in awareness, Peter hopes his insights and teachings can offer something of value to those who seek it.

"Behind every trigger is an opportunity for mastery. When you are triggered, there's an opportunity for you to learn a skill set, but also expand your capacity to hold the trigger because there's information there." - Mark Groves

You Can't Change Your Past But You Can Change What It Meant For You
"Anything that still feels sticky has wisdom to be gleaned from. Can you be with the reality that this did happen to you? And because you can't change it, can you actually change what it meant for you in your life? " - Mark Groves
Dissociating From Pain
"I was so disassociated from my pain and the way that I was trying to anesthetize the pain was through arousal and alcohol so that I didn't have to be in my body. If I was in my body, I had to hear: You're not great right now. You're not good emotionally. You're not acting in alignment with your integrity and your values. You're not learning the skills that you need to be a better partner, a better human." - Mark Groves
Inflammatory People = Inflammation In The Body
"If I'm at war with my own self-expression, of course there's inflammation in my body. I'm in relationship with inflammatory people. I'm a high conflict person because I'm choosing to be in high conflict relationships. I am a match for them." - Mark Groves
With a background in human behavior and emotional intelligence, Mark explores the science and psychology of connection and helps people improve their communication, self-awareness, and relationships.
His podcast and courses delve into topics like vulnerability, attachment, and healing, and feature interviews with experts across various fields of personal growth.
Mark’s engaging, authentic style has made him a popular figure in the wellness and self-help space, inspiring others to live more fulfilled and connected lives.
242 Aaron Hinde: Mastering The Mind For Business & Life
00:43:29
A scarcity mindset is one in which we put all of our time and energy into business and therefore the family must suffer. However, it doesn't have to be like that; time abundance at both work and home is possible when directed. A scarcity mindset isn't a time issue but an attention issue. - Aaron Hinde

Power Quotes From The Show
"A scarcity mindset is one in which we put all of our time and energy into business and therefore the family must suffer. A scarcity mindset isn't a time issue but an attention issue." - @aaronhinde of @DrinkLIFEAID on @wellnessforce Radio episode 242 wellnessforce.com/242
"We're all on a trajectory whether it's positive or negative. So many young people want velocity and for things to happen right now but if you're on a negative trajectory, you're going to crash and burn even faster. Your trajectory has to be positive and all the fundamentals have to be in place. If the trajectory is right, the velocity will eventually come." - Aaron Hinde
"While it's easy to maintain momentum, it's so hard to create it. You can't just drop everything on focus on one thing. You have to keep everything from the little things to relationships at full momentum. Momentum fueled with the right trajectory and alignment towards a common goal with your team will help you crush it." - Aaron Hinde
"The key is to not let your negative thoughts to keep circulating in your mind because otherwise, you will end up manifesting that negativity. We can never get rid of our demons but there are tactics to control the negative head talk. When we control the negative head talk, we can switch over to an appreciation mindset." - Aaron Hinde
LIFEAID founders Orion Melehan and Aaron Hinde first met in a Crossfit Box in Santa Cruz, California, in 2009. Melehan was a Certified Financial Planner and Hinde was a sports chiropractor who worked with many local athletes. A friendship was quickly struck, which later evolved into a business partnership. The two were convinced that conscious consumers would start to demand alternatives to high sugar, high caffeine, and artificial mass market drinks.
They were equally convinced that consumers were looking for more functionality than the caffeine found in energy drinks or isotonic sports drinks. After months of brainstorming and collaboration, they created their vision for LIFEAID and funded it with a mere $30,000 apiece. Melehan’s financial expertise helped craft the business plan. Hinde’s background in nutrition and chiropractic care proved essential when developing LIFEAID products as he worked with their team of a biochemist and beverage scientists. LIFEAID now makes six specially-formulated blends, plus a protein/carb food pouch Fast forward to today and the company’s products can be found in hundreds of golf courses, thousands of gyms, and nationwide in fine retailers such as Whole Foods, Sprouts, and The Vitamin Shoppe. FITAID is the official recovery drink of the 2017 CrossFit Games LIFEAID remains an independent brand run by its founders – not a subsidiary of a large beverage conglomerate. That spirit of independence is reflected in their company culture, the products they offer and the communities they serve.

Tara Garrison | No More Mental Slavery: Why The Popular Mantra of "You Are Enough" Is INSULTING Your Subconscious Mind + How To Make Meaning of Life's Challenges
01:30:56
The popular mantra, 'I am enough,' is actually an insult; it is disempowering. I get that it is a bridge in the self-development process because of the programming that people have received and they believe this lie but the analogy that I like to use is: If you went to a beautiful mountain lake and saw the most epic sunset of your entire life and you said, 'You are enough; yeah, that's enough'; what are you talking about? We are so much more than 'enough;' that is the understatement of the century. That belief has to change. - Tara Garrison

Founder of HIGHER, a Health & Life Coaching company, and Host of the Inside Out Health Podcast, Tara Garrison, returns to Wellness + Wisdom to share why the popular mantra "You are enough," is actually an insult, the 4 Peaks of Truth process to help you tune into the inner work, how to live in your higher frequency each day, the toxic reality of food camps + why she doesn't recommend doing the ketogenic diet long-term.
What is your fear? How is it holding you back from your higher self?

PaleoValley's 100% Grass-Fed Beef Sticks
Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are the only beef sticks in the USA made from 100% grass fed/grass finished beef and organic spices that are naturally fermented.
Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year.
The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients.
Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy.
Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s.
Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight.
Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

Power Quotes From The Show
How to Tap Into Your Creation Energy
"You already are worthy. 100% you are worthy of success, of love, of better health. You don't even have to question that and the more you know that the more you will just be. A tree isn't sitting there wondering if it's worthy, it just is. Remember this when you catch yourself with a negative mindset about your body, work, or personal growth. When we see our worth; we feel it and when we resonate in it full of gratitude and truly see ourselves, that is actually creation energy. When you tap into that, you're no longer coming from a place of scarcity and trying to prove yourself to the world." - Tara Garrison
Why Are We Attracted to Food Camps?
"We are so attracted to specific food camps because of our lack of self-development and people wanting to be led, taught, and get the Cliff notes of what is best. Then maybe they try that diet and they truly do feel better and it helps them. For example, If someone heals their SIBO with the carnivore diet, they are going to be feeling a lot better. But then if you have all of these respectable health professionals telling you all the reasons why this is THE best diet in the world for all humans, which a lot of it is for their monetary gain, you're not going to be really listening to yourself and what your own body needs. If all of that happens, you are setting yourself up to be in this very safe way of thinking." - Tara Garrison
Getting Back Into Powerful Alignment
"When you are out of alignment, ask yourself, 'What is my fear?' Are you investing in yourself? Do you take courses, hire mindset coaches, or follow intuitive nudges and go on a trip that your intuition told you to do just for you?" - Tara Garrison

427 Will Rezin | Trauma & Somatics: How To Heal Without Getting Stuck & The Myths About Psychedelic Therapy For PTSD
01:57:17
Trauma is just the word that we are using right now to describe this phenomenon but this has been happening as far back as we can trace recorded history. The Mystics in India had a different name for it and I truly think that when they are speaking about attachment, they're speaking about trauma. Our attachment to something, our attachment to the memory of the past, attachment to the future, our ability to be with ourselves to sit in stillness and experience our bodies. It's all the same thing...
...So, what do we have to do? Slowly and methodically address the body's memory and help it to create a new form. Help it to discover itself. As soon as I notice that I am out of balance, my body will bring me back into balance because it's natural. - Will Rezin

The real difference between little "t" trauma and capital "T" trauma.
How Will defines the word, "trauma" and how it has changed for him since the start of his journey.
Why trauma is the living memory within the body and mind of something that's overwhelming
The current mental health problem that we're all facing as a species because of how we've domesticated ourselves.
How our trauma prevents us from experiencing the miracle of being alive.
Unpacking what our first line of defense is even before we get into freeze, fight, or flight mode.
Why it's a survival mechanism to say "yes" to something even when we don't want to because we're afraid of what might happen if we say, "no."
[10:30] How to Prevent Trauma from Lingering Within Us
The fact that we are way more animal than we are psyche and Will explains why.
How physical movement like dancing or exercise helps us, like animals, to discharge the extra energy that we're carrying and prevent any trauma from happening.
Why stuck energy and stuck trauma varies from person to person including what happens to us and how we handle it.
How epigenetics plays a role in how we process our own trauma and emotions.
The importance of addressing our own problems first before focusing on healing outside of ourselves.
Why chaos is trying to find order otherwise we wouldn't have dualities like love and fear.
The deep journey that Josh did for the first time in 2 years with ketamine and why this meeting with Will was perfect timing.
Why you shouldn't just go out and do something like ketamine or plant medicine before doing the deep inner work with tools like therapy, breathwork, and meditation first.
[13:40] Somatic Experiencing
Breaking down what somatics and somatic experiencing are and how they're applied to the healing journey.
How somatic healing helps the body resolve trapped trauma.
The process of somatic healing and how it is used to uncover the entire picture of a person so that we can know what should be stimulated, supported, structured, and changed.
How Josh's 5-month old son, Novah, has impacted Josh's own evolution.
The revolution that Josh had about himself and why he finds it so hard to hold himself the same way that he holds Novah.
Will's own process of unfoldment he experienced because of the different challenges he faced in his early years.
Josh and Will's shared characteristic of being curious and always asking, "Why?"
Will's interest in his Nordic, Celtic, Druidic background and learning about his ancestor's culture and rituals which then led him to more esoteric traditions like alchemy.
His revelation that esoteric traditions and how we connect with our environment and one another are present as well in all religious practices.
Exploring the concept of God and our existence in this universe.
Zooming out and looking at us humans as organisims to bring up the curiosity of how we grow in relationship with our environment and both respond and adapt to it.
How we can pivot our focus to be more present and feel more alive in this very moment.
Breaking down how anxiety and depression pull us out of the present moment.
Why our ability to change happens over time, not right away and we've forgotten this.
[30:00] How to Heal with Trauma Somatics
How we grow slowly and methodically with new changes.
Why tapping into the body's memories can help us grow and help it create a new form.
How the body will naturally bring us back into balance when we need it
The body's self-righting mechanism that is always working to keep us balanced and sometimes that looks like significant dysfunction as it works overtime to help us.
What we can do now to help our body help us get back into balance: remove the barriers to help us become more aware.
[32:30] Healing Bipolar Disorder
Exploring what bipolar disorder is, which Josh's mom has, and how it can be a coping mechanism.
Why the body finds it difficult to regulate itself when a person is experiencing bipolar disorder symptoms.
The psychological reflection in the way a person's thoughts represent the state of the body and they mirror it.
Benefits of working with a somatic experiencing practitioner to help regulate one's mind and body if they have these symptoms.
Why healing outcomes of working with a somatic experiencing practitioner will depend on the person, their age, environment, and support system.
The importance of beginning the healing process sooner than later when you start to notice patterns that need your attention.
Unpacking what glutamate is in the brain and its function as a key neural transmitter.
Why we shouldn't put the responsibility on the individual because they feel ashamed of not having the strength or awareness to ask for help.
How to create an environment that provides enough safety that the individual can begin to be more aware of themselves.
"We're not broken, we've had to adapt as we evolve to our environment but literally the largest problem that humanity has ever faced in its history - the cause of all other problems is our unprocessed trauma because it prevents us from experiencing our aliveness and it desensitizes us to life, to other humans, to our environment so we walk around disconnected, not really feeling that aliveness, the world, ourselves, or each other and what does that lead to? Destruction of the environment, destruction of ourselves, torture, and war. We can point to all of the other characteristics that might spring up out of that but all of these are symptoms and we're trying to put out of the fire but we're not addressing the volcano that's causing the fire." - Will Rezin
Move at the Pace of Nature
"We put a lot of our faith into something; whether that may be a drug, an experience, or working with a certain kind of practitioner assuming it will give us the answer we need for the rest of our lives. No. Move at the pace of nature. Life is an ongoing journey of unfolding, rearranging, and growing. There is no place to arrive. There is only a continuous movement of change and if we let go of the idea that something will help us arrive or give us the answer, then it might give us the opportunity to actually change." - Will Rezin
Shaking Off Living Memories of Trauma
"We are far more animal than we are psyche. Movement like dancing discharges the extra energy that we are carrying and helps prevent any trauma from happening. Trauma is the lingering of it; it's that living memory. We can prevent any memory from living on by allowing our body what it needs to do instead of inhibiting it. If i stop myself from experiencing an emotion, what happens to that emotion? Emotions are energy in motion but if I stop that process then it becomes stored within. Over time if I suppress feelings of anger constantly, I will become depressed. Depression is anger turned inward. It's an unexpressed and unprocessed survival response." - Will Rezin
Will Rezin is a mystic, philosopher, somatic coach & trainer, and trauma integration specialist who guides individuals on the often mystical and winding journey of waking up to their own aliveness.
Will integrates 21 years of inner work, esoteric inquiry, and cultural research with 13 years of professional experience in the healing arts. Everything Will does supports his personal mission to end human suffering, and his professional mission to bring trauma-informed care into the mainstream so that it can be available to everyone who needs it, without stigma or exclusion.

Relationship Death/Rebirth: How to Let Love Lead Again + Let Go of The Anxious-Avoidant Dance (Margo Running + Carrie Michelle)
01:44:19
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 595
Can relationship death be the beginning of true love?
Margo Running, Holistic and Spiritual Healer, accompanies Josh Trent and his partner, Carrie Michelle, on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast, episode 595, where together they unravel how their relationship had to die to be recreated anew without projecting their trauma onto each other, why they decided to stay together, and how Margo helped guide them through this process.
"When I saw you both loving each other so much, and yet this confusion of what that needs to look like. We're hereditary and generational trauma gets passed on. I saw all of our ancestors looking at this moment going "We didn't know how to make it good. Can you?" And we're like, yes, we are actually changing this understanding of love." - Margo Running

"Love does not keep score. But I was keeping score because I thought if it doesn‘t work out, then I have all this evidence stacked to why she hurt me and why everything transpired the way it did. I was building a case as to if it didn‘t work out then like it was her fault. What was missing was me not loving Josh. Not choosing Josh. Not actually fucking choosing Josh. Not even knowing what it is to choose myself." - Josh Trent
Love Beyond A Relationship
"I didn't know if you were going to love me beyond our relationship. I had to know that you were going to love me even if it wasn't in service to you. It feels different when you can truly choose someone and you‘re not choosing someone out of fear of losing them." - Carrie Michelle
Let Go of Your Triggers
"I have to let go of everything that is triggering me, what I think is wrong, and what I'm blaming you, shaming you, or judging you about and just ask myself "What can I really learn from this?" You're not my dad, you're not my mom, but on some visceral level this lives in us. And we unconsciously push it onto the person that we love. It's just so sad that we do that. But it's liberating to have that awareness." - Josh Trent

Dr. Craig Koniver | Peptide Masterclass: The Practical, Physical + Spiritual Guide For All You Need To Know About Peptides To THRIVE
01:20:10
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 642
Why are peptides the most effective health + wellness tool?
Dr. Craig Koniver, Performance Medicine Expert, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 642, to share why he leverages the power of peptides to help his patients achieve long-term health and well-being, and why he encourages people to use tirzepatide to start their weight loss journey.
"Peptides are a way for the body to clean up the wrong kind of energy that keeps us stuck and become efficient. We need help with that because we live under artificial light, we don't breathe properly, and we don't spend time in nature in the sun." - Dr. Craig Koniver

"We see amazing results with peptides from people losing weight, getting stronger, thinking more clearly, reducing inflammation, boosting the immune system, helping with skin repair, and much more." - Dr. Craig Koniver
Mounjaro VS Ozempic
"The biggest difference is that Mounjaro is a tirzepatide that works on two different receptors while Ozempic is a semiglutide and works on one receptor. And what that translates to for Mounjaro, you get faster weight loss with less side effects. What I like about it is that it's predictable, reliable, and safe. I want for everyone to look, feel, and perform their best." - Dr. Craig Koniver
People Want Peace More Than Happiness
"What people strive for most, more so than wanting longevity, more so than wanting happiness is peace. True peace can never be taken away from you. There is no external circumstance, whether you have a disease or lost someone you love, that could take it away." - Dr. Craig Koniver

Power Quotes From The Show
"There's always going to be work to do in a relationship, but you get to choose who you want to do it with. You and your partner have to learn how to be in conflict together. So, if doing that work and being in conflict together always brings out the worst in both of you, that tells you something about your relationship." - Amy Baglan
"I've always had this desire that people show up as their authentic self rather than put on a front or be superficial. I can't connect with others when they're not being true about themselves." - Amy Baglan
"I always urge people to look at how a potential partner acts and not pay attention to what they say. The way that people show up in the world, their behavior, and how they treat other people including yourself cannot be filtered by words." - Amy Baglan
"Dating apps are almost like a trigger happy, fast food style atmosphere where there's almost too many options and choices. This is teaching younger generations that this is all there is. They learn that people can be disposable and that the quantity of connections over quality is better." - Amy Baglan
"If all a person does is share pictures of selfies on a dating app and they only care about what their body looks like, then they probably don't value anything else about themselves. If that's the case, then I certainly don't think they're going to value much else about myself either." - Amy Baglan
Amy Baglan is the Founder of MeetMindful, an online dating site where mindful singles connect with one another to find true love. MeetMindful is a relationships company that inspires people to make meaningful connections every day.
They are not only a dating app, but a meeting ground for people who want to live their happiest, healthiest lives—and connect with others who feel the same.

Power Quotes From The Show
"If you don't share your unique gifts, talents, and passions, it'll eat you up inside. It's just a matter of time before it makes you miserable because you will be further and further away from your purpose." - Charles Clay
"The body is able to heal when we learn how to breathe properly. Proper breathing allows us to relax the nervous system in a way that we might not have been used to before. My breathwork practice has now evolved to what I call expansion breathing which is a really simple, experiential breath technique that starts recalibrating the way we breathe. Once you combine that with the optimal activation of your core and the alignment of your body, you have yourself a technique called the Bulletproof Core." - Charles Clay
"When people have the tools to really feel, let go, and transmute anger into something constructive, then they can easily move into courage, hope, and back to their natural state of joy." - Charles Clay
"Neurokinetic therapy gave me incredible results and has become this amazing tool that I now use to uncover the deeper layers. Through it, we can address the metaphysical, emotional, and physiological aspects to help release tension, activate muscle, and restore function in the body. Once you restore function, there's no need for pain. Pain is the check engine light and understanding that has changed my whole mindset about pain. Pain has now become one of my greatest teachers because it's really allowed me to dive in, appreciate the signals from my body, and improve that relationship I have with it." - Charles Clay
Charles Clay is an Alchemist dedicated to raising the vibration of this planet by empowering life-lovers to heal themselves! It's his mission to help you understand and heal aches, pains and injuries so we can all experience more joy, love, and creativity.
Health is our greatest wealth and he goes straight to what matters most: Loving and taking care of ourselves.

00:55:57
Gut health symptoms can look like thyroid hormone symptoms but they're actually gut-driven symptoms. The challenge is that so many symptoms are non-specific. You can be fatigued and depressed from a gut issue or hypothyroidism. - Dr. Michael Ruscio

Are your gut health issues actually a thyroid problem?
On Wellness Force Radio episode 278, doctor, clinical researcher and best-selling author ofHealthy Gut, Healthy You, Dr. Michael Ruscio, returns for the fourth time, to discuss the differences between thyroid health and gut health, why there are so many misdiagnoses when it comes to thyroid and dysbiosis, gut health testing and whether or not some are necessary, and the first steps you can decipher whether you have a gut or a thyroid problem with Dr. Ruscio's simple gut quiz.
Listen as Dr. Ruscio explains the deep misunderstanding between systematic approaches and root healing causes of thyroid and gut dysfunction.
The good news is that almost any ailment including depression, fatigue, weight gain, autoimmunity, insomnia, and hypothyroidism can be healed. The key is not just managing the symptoms but treating the root cause: the gut. Restoring this crucial part of your overall health improves the performance of your whole body from the inside out and it's easier than you think to get started.
You don't have to follow crazy diets or spend a fortune to get healthy. Instead, read this book to discover
how the gut works and its role in your body,
practical diet and lifestyle advice to support your gut health,
simple and actionable tools to repair your gut, and
an innovative, user-friendly plan to heal, support and revitalize your gut.

The concerns of over-supplementation and why it might be good to take a break from them from time to time.
How some supplements can actually irritate the gut.
First steps you can take to decide whether or not you have a gut or a thyroid problem including taking the gut quiz that Dr. Ruscio offers on his website.
Why it's so important for women to take their hormone balance into account if they're experiencing thyroid problems and how natural, herbal medicines can help.
What the amino acid protein structures, MK 677 and BCP 157 are, how they can help trigger different hormones to support the body, and which sources are the best ones to buy from.
The remarkable improvements he and his team have seen for patients who had prior high levels of anxiety and depression once they improved their gut health.
How professionals can come together and respect one another despite opposing viewpoints.

Power Quotes From The Show
"I don't think there are certain foods that would just cause thyroid dysfunction compared to inflaming your gut and just making you generally unwell. However, there have been some completed studies that show simply going on a Paleo diet can improve thyroid function and immunity." - Dr. Michael Ruscio
"The primary cause of hyperthyroidism is autoimmunity. So, if the primary regulator of your immune system, your small intestine, and the primary cause of hyperthyroidism is autoimmunity and immune imbalance, there's your connection. If you eat foods that irritate your small intestine, that will likely rev up your immune system and will make the autoimmune symptoms worse or conversely, if you're eating foods that are healthy for your gut, you can see a decrease." - Dr. Michael Ruscio
"If you're on a medication and you suspect that you were not correctly diagnosed; especially if you saw an integrative, progressive, or alternative provider, most models of misdiagnoses are from these providers. These providers are not doing it with any bad intention but you should always check your lab work from before you went on thyroid hormone medication and if the lab range didn't flag you high TSH and low T4, then there's a very high probability that you don't need the medication that you're on. Now, don't do anything else before the first meeting with a clinician who can walk you through this and a conventional endocrinologist will probably do a very good job with helping you discover what support is best for you." - Dr. Michael Ruscio
Dr. Ruscio’s best-selling book, Healthy Gut, Healthy You, has paved the way for a ‘start with the gut’ philosophy which has enabled doctors and patient to obtain improved outcomes with minimal expense and effort.
He is leading the charge to make alternative medicine more affordable, effective and practical, through a pragmatic application of evidence-based therapies. Dr. Ruscio’s ability to objectively analyze medical literature has made him a trusted voice of reason, a voice he shares on his top-rated podcast and website.

327 Jeff Agostinelli: Slaying The Dragon of Resistance
01:06:44
Most people have a very predictable way of how they respond to what we would call resistance but setting up different conditions allows you to literally scramble the circuits and then start to make new choices of how you react to difficult situations. - Jeff Agostinelli
Are you ready to take your life to the next level?
Life Coach and host of The Next Level Podcast, Jeff Agostinelli, returns to Wellness Force Radio to share how we can apply the principles of psychology to overcome resistance, why he took a year off from his podcast and how that has impacted his current trajectory, and why resistance is described as a mythical force.
Learn about the biological reward of faith, the sole mission of resistance to keep things as they are, and the different roots of resilience with the core base of establishing safety.
Are you getting the quality nutrition your body needs?
It's what provides us with energy every day. And when we don’t give our body the nutrition it needs, we feel it. It’s in the way we lack motivation. It’s in the way we get stuck in ruts, dragging ourselves to work, to lunch, back to work, and back home...
You don’t need to hire a nutritionist, though. You don’t need to live at the gym, either. In fact, all you really need is about 3 minutes a day… and Organifi will do the rest.
Morning, Noon, And Night… Organifi Superfoods Have Your Nutritional Needs Covered.
ORGANIFI GREEN JUICE Start the day with a refreshing glass of 11 perfect detoxing superfoods. Moringa, chlorella, ashwagandha, wheatgrass, coconut water, and a whole lot more to get energy levels up, cortisol levels down, and your day started off right.
ORGANIFI RED JUICE Boost metabolism and energy with a delicious ruby-red fruit punch. All the best berries and super-fruits for a youthful glow, and real hardcore adaptogenic herbs, roots, and mushrooms for that extra kick of power. Great for those afternoon slumps!

Listen To Episode 327 As Jeff Agostinelli Uncovers:
Life transitions he has gone through since lasting speaking to Josh four years ago for WFR episode 075 including reinventing himself, going through a divorce, and relaunching his podcast, The Next Level.
How he applied his own tool for helping clients, deconstructing and reconstructing, to his own life.
The moment he started questioning himself and why he was putting content out there for his podcast.
Why he decided to hit the pause button on the podcast as an experiment for himself and his business. (10:40)
His career transitions, how he came to be a macrobiotic chef for people with cancer and how that allowed him to see how people went on their healing journeys.
The power committing yourself to a lifetime of learning if you want to help people.
His top career tips: Build confidence in working with people, find a mentor, and make sure you are qualified to do the work.
Power of getting curious to help yourself test what you like, don't like and grow as a person.
Why the easiest way to let go of feeling like you're backed up in a corner is to just allow what you're thinking and feeling be out in the open. (55:00)
Everybody needs people; we can never be a 'lone wolf' because connection is what feeds us.
Establishing New Responses to Difficult Situations
"We're conditioned to respond in a particular way; like we all have a very conditioned mode of responding emotionally to situations. We either shut down, we fight, we get angry, we get defeated, we feel sad, we get excited. Most people have a very predictable way of how they respond to what we would call resistance. If you can really understand what those stop signs look like, you can start to just run plays and run experiments on how to rewire but also understand how to set up conditions so that when those stop signs show up, you condition yourself or train yourself to do something different." - Jeff Agostinelli
Building Up Resiliency
"Resilience and resistance go hand in hand. A lot of times when we go through transitions and navigate change, resistance comes on strong. It's really our job to look those thoughts and feelings of resistance in the face and go past them, start to be resilient, and build up the ability to pursue during tough conditions instead of succumbing to gravity and pressure of the past." - Jeff Agostinelli
Sometimes Love Swings A Sledgehammer
"A lot of people need not a drill sergeant but somebody that is going to call them out on their shit and give them direction. Many times that direction is going to be gentle and other times you have to be willing to take out the sledgehammer and shatter those beliefs in a super loving way. Sometimes love looks like being tough on other people so that they realize that if they keep doing something, other people are going to suffer forever." - Jeff Agostinelli
With a background in studying pre-med biology and working as a private chef, Jeff Agostinelli wanted to take his knowledge about food, healing, natural health, and a healthy lifestyle to help others. Eventually, Jeff's journey led him to become a personal Life and Business Coach.
Jeff is also the host of The Next Level Podcast where the goal is to inspire, educate, and deliver simple techniques by extracting key lessons from those who have already been there.

AMA | 2025: FDA's War on Health Is About to END! RFK's Peaceful Path
00:43:03
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 691
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host and Wellness Force Media CEO, Josh Trent, shares how Robert F. Kennedy Jr is going to put a stop to the FDA's war on health and create a meaningful change in America's healthcare system.

[04:10] FDA's War on Health
We live in a world that has continents. And these continents are connected either by land or water. And the thing that's most fascinating is that we just forget this, don't we?
We forget that someone living in Europe still is breathing the same air that Jesus breathed. It's like energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transmuted, right? The law of thermodynamics and Albert Einstein's work are true then, now, and always.
And so there are also certain things when it comes to health because we're talking about health today, with the incredible events that have transpired with the presidential election, with Donald Trump being elected 47th president. Now look, I am not a total fan of everything that Trump says or that he represents.
It's really, really important for all of us to feel what I'm about to say. Don't shoot the messenger, just make sure you resonate with the message. Y'all don't have to love me, right? You don't have to love Mar, which kind of sucks, right? Cause don't we just want to be loved Mar? We just want to be loved and accepted by everyone.
But part of being a human being is that we just are okay and at peace with the fact that our own safety is within us first and foremost. We don't have to have everyone like us.I can't even imagine what people are feeling in America.
You know, 350 million people plus that live in America, I think about 150 or 160 million people actually voted. That means that over half the people, Mar, that live in this space in America didn't even feel empowered enough to cast decision. They didn't even believe in themselves enough.
Maybe they're downtrodden by the system. Maybe they don't believe that voting actually has any merit which is partially true if you look at common law which is a whole nother subject.
But case in point, just speaking your truth or voting or putting out your pain into the world via choice of what you want to experience versus what you don't want to experience, which I think is at the core of all voting. That's what voting really is. I think that's the most important thing for us to focus on today.
So we're going to go over the tweet from RFK Jr. Who is going to be the leader of health in the White House cabinet in 2025. It is absolutely incredible what I'm about to say.
I mean, it should send chills down your spine, especially if you look at all the content we've put out over the years in this podcast.
And I don't care if it's Paul Levy or Paul Chek or Mark Groves or Dr. William Li or anybody that we've ever had on the show talking about human health, human nutrition, and all the different alternative methods that have proven so successful in health, yet they have been so suppressed by the FDA, the USDA, and really the terrible revolving door that exists because of corruption in government.
So Mar, let's go ahead and read this. We're going to link it in the show notes today. By the way, if you're looking for a full-length guest episode, those are on Tuesdays. So make sure you subscribe to the podcast wherever you're listening to this now, and you can get longer format content.
We have a really exciting episode coming out next week. Who is our episode with next week? Who is the guest next week, Mar? It's Mary Ruddick.
Mary Ruddick, which is actually perfect, because these tribes that Mary Ruddick visited, and then right after that is Paul Chek, I believe, which is so incredible, the timing of what's coming out now. These tribes that Mary visited, they have no connection at all to the FDA.
These tribes live healthy, they live happy, and they're in the sun and they're exercising, they're eating animals and drinking raw milk and harvesting things the land. It's just so inspiring the way these people live.
And I believe that what Mar's about to read right now is the battleship, turning the massive corrupted battleship that's been going for like a hundred years basically in America. I think we're about to turn it around. I'm really excited about this.
So let's read the tweet from Robert F. Kennedy Jr that you can find on our show notes page. Okay Josh, I'm gonna need your help on this because there are words never heard before, so this is really challenging my English skills, so I'm gonna read and you'll know exactly what I'm gonna struggle with. Let's go!
FDA’s war on public health is about to end.
This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can't be patented by Pharma.
If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags.
I love this. If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have 2 messages for you. one, keep your records, and two, pack your bags. I absolutely love this.
I mean, he's literally declaring peace because the FDA has been at war with public health. The suppression of everything from hydroxychloroquine to ivermectin, to hyperbaric therapies, to chelating compounds, nutraceuticals, sunshine, exercise. Y'all have felt this for a long time.
You felt it for a long time and I know that I have too and that's why it's so timely that we discuss this today. Please share this episode with somebody who is completely in the not knowing because I'm about to drop some very uncomfortable truth on your ears.
In 2014, Johnson & Johnson paid out $2 billion because of baby powder that actually had really harsh in it. They caused ovarian cancer and asbestos contamination. Just absolutely heartbreaking. And you know that they knew it right?
Between the years of 2018 and 2020 Monsanto now part of Bayer was sued for its herbicide roundup which caused non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. These lawsuits argued that Monsanto knew of the cancer, but failed to warn consumers.
Bayer in 2020 paid out $10 billion to 100, 000 people. Now y'all tell me, if these pharmaceutical companies are spending literally tens of billions of dollars because of poisoning people, hurting people, killing people, and they knew?
How could that not be anything other than evil? Like how could you go to bed at night when you're an executive of Monsanto, when you're an executive of a pharmaceutical company, and you know that your scientists have shared with you that these compounds could harm people, how could you possibly sleep at night?
What kind of psychopathy would you need to be going through as a CEO or as an executive to feel so good about the 3 yachts you have and the 40-foot pool in your backyard and your trips to Turks and Caicos that are so much better than a woman who's suffering from lymphoma caused by your product...
[30:15] The Pandemic Was BS!
I can remember when all the BS first happened in January 2020, I actually got, you know, it's funny, in 2019, I got so sick. It's the most sick I've ever been. I was out for like 3 weeks. I couldn't even walk up a hill without stopping and lying down. I mean, it just destroyed me.
I'm almost 100% confident that I had the COVID strain at that time. And there's actually a lot of reports that it came at the end of 2019.
But I'll never forget when we got back from Hawaii and when all the craziness started to go on, what was most heartbreaking for me is that people blindly believed what they had been told.
And I don't know how that was for you, people forcing you to do things, forcing you to get a jab, forcing you to wear a mask, forcing you to stand in a certain way, forcing you to... I mean, just this forcefulness. It was not just in America, I mean, it was everywhere.
These are the same people, by the way, that benefited so much. There were more billionaires and multi-billionaires and more P&L spreadsheets multi-tens of billions of dollars in profit on the pharmaceuticals coffers than in any other time in history.
COVID and lockdowns were the greatest transfer of wealth in time, including the Great Depression. There has never been a transfer of wealth that is so massive as there was during lockdowns and during COVID measures.
And it is a direct correlation to people outsourcing their power, wanting to be good little boys and girls and do what mommy and daddy or mommy daddy government wants them to do.
What was your experience with that? You know, where were you when all the insanity was going down? What did you feel in your heart? Did you know right away that this whole thing was bullshit?
I knew right away, yeah. At first, I couldn't believe it. How did you know? But how did you know? Because all of the measures were going against just common sense of what health is about.
So just locking us inside while being in nature would actually be much healthier for us, being in the sun would be healthier for us. So I was in Peru at that time and the measures were complete nonsense. So you couldn't use your car, you could only use public transportation. That's the first thing that just makes you question everything.
It's like, how does that even make sense? Then they started like all these laws about you can only go out and Wednesday and Friday. On Sunday, nobody can go out at all. And it's just, it's like, how does anybody have so much power to tell me when to be outside or not to be outside?
And of course, yes, if you're sick, stay at home, don't see anybody, wear your mask, it's completely fine. But if I'm healthy and I want to move and be outside, why is somebody stopping me from doing that? It just didn't make any sense to me at all.
Yeah, because you were just actually in communion with your soul. Your soul knew that this was complete bullshit. And I remember we had our interview with Zach Bush go viral at that time. I did a Facebook Live podcast with him in the middle of everything.
And he said, the first thing I would have done if I could have inspired people to do anything was said, everyone needs to go out and go camping together. Everyone needs to just hang out together. Because, and it's not to disrespect the people whose lives were lost, right? There were real lives lost. It was an actual virus that harmed people.
Yet, the flu kills people too. And many things that happen in regards to sickness and immunology and virology, they kill people and harm people too. So it's a very aggressive flu essentially. And so yes, take measures and be kind to one another.
If you're sick, don't go cough on someone, don't go in a public place. But to live in fear is actually more harmful in the existence of the virus itself. Because when we live in fear, we are more monetizable by these pharmaceutical companies.
I felt it, Mar. I mean, I felt the fear. I was like, wait, what if they're right? I mean, I had to go through a whole process of figuring out, was this right?
Looking at the research, thank God I was connected to so many doctors, actual MDs in the health sphere, that I realized it's actually okay if I get because I've done the work preemptively to be healthy.
What was really apparent is that so many people that don't move, that don't go outside, that eat really terrible foods, that are addicted to drugs, that are already super unhealthy themselves, those were the people that were in the most fear.
And it was really a reckoning of all the choices that they had made that put them in the clutches of fear in the first place. And what I'm saying is, in other words, they were already so predisposed to get really radically sick because they were already sick to begin with.
They already had so many things about their immune system that were compromised because of the lifestyle they were living.
And I think that's the big gift that that plandemic actually showed us is that every single day is an opportunity to move towards health or to move towards disease.
I know it's like really myopic for me to say that, but literally, I mean, every single thing that we do every day, like this morning, I had a blood draw for my biomarkers, which costs money. It's an investment...
AMA: Medicinal Plants, Raising Children, Getting Over The Terror Barrier + Being Financially FREE
00:35:39
Wellness + Wisdom Episode 615
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host and Wellness Force Media CEO, Josh Trent, shares how his view on plant medicine has changed in the past 5 years, how to approach your fear and learn to love it, why you need a calendar to get things done, and how to achieve financial freedom.
@saral.price: I would love to see an episode on your current thoughts around plant medicines, bufo, ayahuasca etc.
@tigermom74: How do you get over the terror barrier like for real taking that jump both in relationship and career vise when you know in your body that some things need to change and not be stuck in familiar patterns? When those patterns don't serve you anymore and it's a false safety and there comes the fear of not taking action.
@mariemama111: How do you have a full-time career and children at the same time without losing your mind? Or maybe you already did?

[02:25] Medicinal Plants
We have a recording from Sara L. Price. But before I play the recording, can you actually just read the words that she wrote? I actually really loved it. She put an emoji of hands together. This seems like a very spiritual woman. This seems like a very deep woman, Sara. I really think so too.
So Sarah, Sarah Price, she asked, I would love to see an episode, it's not a question actually, it's more of a request, I would love to see an episode on your current thoughts around plant medicine, Bufo, ayahuasca, etc.
Okay, let's hear what she has to say.
"I'm so excited to ask this question because you have absolutely hinted episodes that your views on plant medicine ceremonies like ayahuasca have changed.
And I'm only sitting there hoping that you will go deeper into this. And so, yes, my question is, how have your views on plant medicine ceremonies changed?
And what are your views on other Indigenous medicine ceremonies like Bufo.
Seems like we have a lot of friends who are sitting in ceremonies, and I just wanna know, what is up in your world?
What do you make of it? Where are you at with it? What can you, like what insight can you learn from having sat in ceremonies regularly in the past? What can you share with us? I cannot wait. Cannot wait to hear."
So here's what has changed for me the most. In 2018 and 2019, I got my ass kicked so profoundly by ayahuasca that it changed my vision.
It changed my understanding of what plant medicine is actually for. The thing that I will say, Sarah, is that the most important piece of ceremony is the come from.
If your come from is not pure, is not of loving service to yourself, is not connected to God through a spiritual hygiene practice, then you are potentially opening yourself up.
And by the way, this is bufo, this is ayahuasca, this is all plant medicines, right?
Anything and everything that is an entheogen or a psychedelic, your intention, your come from, I just can't say this enough because I learned by getting my face bloody, your come from is the most important thing...
[11:35] Getting Over The Terror Barrier
Let's move on to the next question from Lia. Mar, what does Lia want to know? So Lia, I think Lia is one of our most engaged audience members. She's awesome. Thank you, Lia. Yeah, thank you, Lia. And so she sent us a voice message about taking the jump in a relationship and career.
And I think we should listen to it because I think it will explain it much better than I would. Let's listen.
"Hi Josh, it's Lia from Sweden and my question to you is how do you get over the terror barrier for real? Take that step or the jump both in a relationship and career-wise, when you know in your body that something needs to change and not be stuck in the familiar patterns when those patterns don't serve you anymore.
And it's a false safety. And there comes the fear of not taking action to thrive and do something else. Hope you get my question. And thank you for an awesome podcast. Much love."
I think it's so cool that somebody from Sweden listens to the show. That's why you know, podcasting is such a beautiful wave that's touching people's hearts because people want long-form content that they can use and turn into wisdom. That's why we're here.
So I have so much to say about this. I mean, this is like literally the entire episode, Mar, but let's do like 3 to 5 minutes here of just stream of consciousness.
FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real
You know, the phrase that came up for me is the acronym FEAR. False evidence appearing real. So just feel into that, right? There are 2 types of fear. There's rational fear and there's irrational fear.
We all know what fear feels like. Your throat gets tight, your stomach gets queasy. Maybe you have to go to the bathroom. Some of these times are valid. They really are.
Like fear is not necessarily a bad thing at all. And we talked about this with one of my favorite people in the world, Akshay Navati. This is where Akshay talked to us about loving our fear, which is really the most important thing.
We get to love our fear, but before we love it, we have to know what it is, right? So fear in our nervous system is actually a good thing. It's a protector.
If you were next to a cliff, Mar, there are tons of cliffs in the Azores, right? Like these massive, I saw online, there's like these 50, a hundred foot, 300-foot beautiful faces in the ocean. It's so gorgeous.
When you get next to the cliff, you, you have to feel the fear because if you didn't feel that fear, that rational fear, you fly off the cliff, you'd, you'd perish, you'd go into the water.
So I want you to feel this, Lia. Fear is not necessarily a bad thing. It's about loving it...
[19:10] Raising Children
What's the next question, Mar, today? So the next one, we have Marie's question, @mariemama111. How do you have a full-time career and children time without losing your mind? Or, maybe you already did.
Yep, I already did. And that's actually good. You know what's cool about that phrase, losing your mind? I think even Michael Pollan did a book on that, right?
The Omnivore's Dilemma, how to lose your mind. I think it was in some of his marketing. And I love that phrase because I want to lose my mind.
I want to lose my mind so that I can actually make decisions from my soul and my heart. I want my mind to be a director. I want my mind to be a worker. I don't want my mind to be this controller master over me and my heart and soul.
And so my children, specifically my son, has brought up all of my stuff. All of my stuff.
So what I'm gonna say is my son brings out all the things in me from a patient's perspective that I never even knew that I didn't know that it was literally unconscious incompetence when we're parents we have to surrender to the fact that we just simply don't know that we don't know certain things.
Actually, this is the beauty I mean it brings up emotion to me just sharing this like my son knows things that I have forgotten. He knows how to play in such a way that it reminds me how to do that. He knows how to sleep when he's tired. He knows how to ask for a hug or give love or express.
All the ways that I have been wounded in my past and that we have been in our past, these children come into our lives to teach us how to reaccess that part of ourselves.
And it might seem like pie in the sky, woo, but you know what? That's exactly what it fucking is. And that's exactly what you and I are because we're half spirit and half beast. We're spirit having a human experience.
So in my human experience, I will say this, the only way that I have made it through this journey so far, my son is 2 years, 7 months, and my daughter's 9 months old, is by losing my fucking mind.
And I think all parents can relate because I want to shed the skin of the snake in my mind. I want to shed that skin on a daily freaking basis, on an hourly basis.
Because whenever I'm thinking about spending time with my family, like I can, I can even feel it right now. I can feel it in my legs and I can feel it in my, my perineum and my heart and my throat.
I can feel, literally feel somatically in my body, how much I love them, how much I love my children, how much I love Carrie Michelle...
[26:35] Being Financially FREE
What's the next question? Okay, so the last question is from Amelia Higgins. And it's also more of a request than a question. She says, thanks for this opportunity.
I'd love to see another episode about financial freedom and abundance. It's something I've been exploring lately. Thank you.
The way that I feel and think and operate around money has become so much more of a game in the last 2 years and I want it with respect because I think if there was a bigger wound and I'm sure you feel the same way more if there was maybe the wound on planet Earth, it's sex and money.
Sex and money are two of the biggest collective and individual wounds that get expressed and projected onto others on an individual and societal level more than I think anything else.
I mean, in your opinion, what is more wounded on earth than our sexuality, our intimacy with self and others, our innocence, especially when you look at the episode that's coming up with Eric Klopper and how men literally of their penis cut off and traumatized in the first day or week of their life, how women are disrespected, the dark sides of feminism and patriarchy, which essentially point to sexual trauma and control.
Is there anything else bigger in this world that we're dealing with than a money wound and a sex energy wound? Is there anything else?
There's a lot of things, but yeah, these two are definitely two major ones. Have you seen those play out in your own life too? Especially the one with money. I definitely have a lot of limiting beliefs around that from my family. So yeah, that's something I've been working on myself as well.
Well, it's really cool that we're here because I used to hate money. I actually can remember myself saying more, I'd be like, I hate money so much that rich people are evil. I actually used to speak like that. I did.
And I know where that was coming from. See this is what y'all need to understand. And this is what we all get to understand and notice I'm being conscious of my language because language is so powerful when it comes to money.

With chronic disorders among American children reaching epidemic levels, hundreds of thousands of parents are desperately seeking solutions to their children’s declining health, often with little medical guidance from the experts. What’s Making Our Children Sick? convincingly explains how agrochemical industrial production and genetic modification of foods is a culprit in this epidemic. Is it the only culprit? No. Most chronic health disorders have multiple causes and require careful disentanglement and complex treatments. But what if toxicants in our foods are a major culprit, one that, if corrected, could lead to tangible results and increased health? Using patient accounts of their clinical experiences and new medical insights about the pathogenesis of chronic pediatric disorders―taking us into gut dysfunction and the microbiome, as well as the politics of food science―this book connects the dots to explain our kids’ ailing health.
