EP 225 — Dr. Nathan Riley: She + He = Life
Sweat Lodge Experience
- Dr. Riley participated in a traditional Lakota sweat lodge, a ceremony designed by women to simulate the birthing experience.
- This experience highlighted the intensity of childbirth and the importance of honoring it holistically.
Cartesian Split's Impact
- Rene Descartes' philosophy has negatively impacted society's view of the body, mind, and their interconnectedness.
- This Cartesian split has led to an overemphasis on the mind and a neglect of the body's needs.
Holistic Approach to Pregnancy
- Prioritize a holistic approach to pregnancy, emphasizing the connection between mind, body, and nature.
- Focus on healthy living, including nutrition, movement, and mindful practices, rather than solely relying on technology.
Need a better understanding of female anatomy and how to give you and your partner the best chance of having a healthy, happy child safely and naturally?
Dr. Nathan Riley describes the problems men have with toxic sperm and explains why artificial insemination is a biohack (and not a good one) in this very fertile Living 4D conversation.
