Deep dives
Exploring the Natural State of Health
The podcast episode discusses the concept of the 'natural state' of health and how our artificial environment has led to health problems. The host aims to explore various factors like nutrition, sleep, movement, and relationships to help listeners reclaim their natural state of health in the modern world.
The Importance of Intuition and Authentic Vitality
The podcast delves into the importance of making intuitive calls in our health and how it relates to spirituality, community, and personal growth. The guest, Case Bradford, shares insights on how to tap into one's own intuition and build a more authentic and vital life.
The Power of Nourishing Connections and Local Food
The episode highlights the significance of nourishing connections and their impact on vitality. The discussion centers around the importance of supporting local food systems and how the love and energy put into producing and consuming high-quality, locally sourced food can enhance our well-being.
Mitigating Micro Toxins
One of the main reasons preventing people from having a vital and healthy life is the accumulation of micro toxins. These micro toxins can include exposure to EMF, seed oils, electronic light, plastic, and other environmental pollutants. The accumulation of these micro toxins can become a heavy toxin when not mitigated. Many people are overwhelmed and unaware of these toxins and do nothing to mitigate them. It is crucial for individuals to be aware of these micro toxins and take responsibility for mitigating their exposure to them in order to promote optimal health.
Simple Solutions for Vitality
While there may be a vast array of factors that de-vitalize us, the solutions to regain vitality are often simple. Some key practices include walking barefoot in nature to ground ourselves and mitigate the effects of EMF, putting phones in airplane mode when in pockets, prioritizing movement and embracing physical struggle, paying attention to light exposure and implementing blue light-blocking glasses or red-tinted software on electronic devices, and focusing on home environment by using natural cleaning products and avoiding toxins found in plastics or synthetic materials. By adopting these practices and simplifying our approach, we can support our macro systems, tap into our evolutionary adaptations, and enhance our overall well-being.
