Insight into Tresto Medication
The podcast introduces Tresto, a prescription medicine widely used to treat adults with chronic heart failure. It highlights that Tresto is prescribed by cardiologists, and it has effectively benefited over a million patients with heart failure. The medication is particularly effective for individuals whose hearts are unable to pump sufficient blood to the body. However, caution must be exercised as Tresto should not be taken by pregnant individuals, as it can be harmful to unborn babies. Additionally, it is advised not to take Tresto with certain medications like ACE inhibitors or Alice Keiran, or within 36 hours of taking an ACE inhibitor due to potential side effects such as angioadema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, and high blood potassium.
Diving into Consciousness with Eckhart Tolle

In this podcast, Eckhart talks about our connection to the source of universal consciousness, which he compares to the vastness of the ocean. He says each person with individual awareness is like a small ripple on the surface of that ocean. However, he believes if we only ever know ourselves as a ripple then we won’t recognize our true depth. Eckhart asks participants to consider who they are beyond the surface, as a person with a personality to the fathomless, invisible self, deep below. Eckhart believes all ancient spiritual traditions point toward this journey of transformation. And he says it’s not only a possibility but is a necessity for human evolution. He says we must ask ourselves: can the ripple realize its true identity as the ocean?
