It's Josh Trent. You've made it back or maybe your first time to the podcast. This is Wellness + Wisdom. It's a place where we gather, apply, and embody the wellness and the wisdom to nourish the of ourself. Look, we call this the wellness pentagon, right? And you all know that it's what you're working on currently, otherwise, you wouldn't be here. This is the physical, the emotional, mental, spiritual, and financial ways that we all signed up to thrive, not just to live, not just to survive, to freaking thrive here on planet Earth. This wellness pentagon is what we teach from, it's the lens we see life from. And these AMAs that are always free by the way, from my heart to yours, because I love this liberated life so much that we're learning about, that we're embodying and that we're doing our best to show up for every single day. I am here as always with Mar who lives on a beautiful island, the Azores, out in the middle of the ocean with crested cliff lines and beautiful clouds and birds and nature. I'm just so jealous of the nature, Mar. How are you doing today? How are you feeling? Today? I'm just grateful that I have the capacity to face the challenges with this really positive attitude. And it's just like making everything so much easier in life. So I'm super grateful for that. Wow, I'm grateful for that reminder. I get to embody that gratitude as well. We're in the middle of moving 2 children into a house, and dealing with contractors. 10 years ago, y'all, I would have killed for these problems. So perspective is everything. And I'm grateful for these problems. They're actually just opportunities for growth. And that's not me just pulling the wool over my own eyes. It's literally the way that I live my life. Because look, I don't care if you're 10 years old or 90 years old or any space in between. I think we're all on the same path. We are all on this path of desiring peace, desiring to be liberated from these freaking manufactured concerns of society and social media, how women should act, how men should be, all this bullshit that we've believed is truth is actually just a lie. And so we're here to uncover that today, specifically through the vehicle of 1 of the biggest threats, I believe, towards the male mind and the female mind, and that is pornography... [02:20] The Journey from Porn Addiction to Freedom Let's listen to this question from our audience member. Hey Josh, I was wondering if you could share the struggles you had with pornography starting with, you know, your history when you thought it was a problem, how you overcame it, and how life has changed for you now. If you could share that with your listeners, I think that'd be very beneficial. Thank you so much. What a sweet, what a really genuine sweetheart I felt from her. I don't know your name, but thank you for, for leaving your question. The greatest gift we have is our time. So I'm super grateful that you spent your time and your heart and your energy just putting that question out there. Look, we only chose one question for this AMA because this is a very deep topic. A great resource for this is episode 640 with Sathiya Sam. I do go into my story quite a bit in that episode as well, but I wanna go practical and tactical here. How did I overcome it? Mar, you talked about where you said that your partners that you experienced, the men in your life, you felt something from them when they were addicted to pornography. Before I go into my share, I would love for you to tee me up because I'm just gonna be straight up with you, mystery listener, sweet mystery listener, that it was actually Carrie Michelle and plant medicine that became a catalyst in my life to let go of pornography. And I say let go, because I actually, I wanna flip the script on addiction as well. But what was that like for you, Mar, being with a man who had an addiction to pornography or just addiction to unhealthy sexual ways? So I'm not 100% sure if it was an addiction, but there was 100% an influence of pornography because it's so normalized, almost everybody watches it. And so I feel like it creates unrealistic expectations on how women should, and this is probably the keyword: perform when it comes to sex. And then it's like, what it creates, it doesn't create a connection, it creates really a performance. And you're in your head and you're not really in that flow state. You're just like, okay, what should I do next? And like, how does this look? And it's not enjoyable anymore. It's really a performance and nothing else. So what do you mean performance, like he would ask you to do certain things he had seen in porn? That's one thing or just like knowing that it's like, same thing as Sathiya was talking about, it's desensitizing the brain and so what's normal is not enough anymore. And you can tell when somebody's enjoying it, especially women are really sensitive to that. Okay, well, I thank you for that because I knew for a long time. So I'll answer the question, how did I overcome it? But it was really important, Mar, that you shared your experience. I overcame it by coming to the truth, coming to terms with the pain that I was then going to cause others. And that's the thing about addiction is alcohol, food, smoking, these are all things that you eventually start on the outside, right? But sex addiction and pornography addiction is very sly. It is very coy because not everybody sees it. Maybe your intimate partner can see it. Maybe your intimate partner can feel it. But we're walking around probably an ocean of porn addicts and sex addicts. And we just don't know it because it's not something you wear on the outside. And I hope I'm being clear enough about this. What you do in the dark, what shame, what malice, what addictions that you do in the dark, they typically can be seen or felt on the outside. But sex and pornography are not the case. They can't always be seen. And so for many years, I mean, I found magazines on my dad's table, Playboys and like Hustlers when I was really young, I mean, 10, 13 years old. And then that transformed into going to like the adult store and going to the booths in the back and masturbating to the screens. And then that transformed into VHS, back in the day if y'all know what VHS is. And then that transformed into internet streaming. And once internet streaming came out, it was game over. There was no stopping. And so what pornography was for me, and we talk about this at joshdren.com slash 640. It is a deep, deep journey into the self. Pornography is a deep journey into the self as to why 1 would need pornography in the first place. Why, how I overcame it was understanding why I thought I needed it. And why I thought I needed it is because ever since I was very young, I never knew what it was like to have peace, to have a nervous system that made me feel like I was at home. And flash forward 5 years, 10 years, you know, I found pornography and it gave me that temporary kind of pseudo peace where I would have peace for a moment, but it wasn't really about the orgasm. It wasn't about the masturbation. It wasn't about watching the screen. It was about that seeking, that craving for peace. And that was also how unconscious sex with women played out as well, because really when I thought I was wanting was attention from women, but I was actually just using women to get my own peace, instead of doing the real work to have peace within my own heart, within my own self. And so how I overcame it was honestly too much to even share here on this AMA, but I'll tell you the highlights...

Porn addiction is an intimacy disorder. It has nothing to do with sex." - Sathiya Sam Desexualizing The Brain "It took me 5 years from that season before I finally experienced true freedom from pornography. There were still wounds in my heart and issues in my belief systems. The last 2 years of recovery is where I started to do the work; I worked through trauma and forgiveness, and I understood some of my past that contributed to my sexual development. And that's when I found real healing." - Sathiya Sam Porn Is a Demonic Energy "Pornography is wreaking havoc on our society, mostly because it's offering people something that's very close to the real thing. It feels similar, it looks similar, but it's actually vastly different. They say pornography is the 3 A's: affordable, accessible, and anonymous. And all those 3 things working together are pulling the wool over people's eyes."- Sathiya Sam Links From Today's Show  Sathiya Sam DeepClean - FREE TRAINING 610 Adam Lane Smith | Relationships Are Teamwork: How Men + Women Make Relationships Work (Heal Your Attachment Style) 634 Dr. John Demartini | Human Potential: Your Practical + Spiritual Guide To Getting The Life You Desire MANNA Vitality - 20% off with code "JOSH20" The Last Relapse: Realize Your Potential, Reclaim Intimacy, and Resolve the Root Issues of Porn Addiction by Sathiya Sam Billie Eilish and her porn addiction 449 Hearts Wide Open | Identifying & Healing Core Wounds To Live Your Vision: Luke Storey, Cal Callahan, Dr. John Lieurance & Josh Trent Quadcast 388 Dr. Jud Brewer | Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind 538 John Wineland | A New Masculine Paradigm: Leading With Love, Living Your Truth + Healing The World Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by David Hawkins DeepClean Coaching 288 Greg Woodhill: What Porn Does To The Brain & Heart Mendi.io - Use code "JOSH20" for 20% off Nootopia - 10% off with code "JOSH10"   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code "JOSH10" PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code “WELLNESSFORCE" SiPhox - 10% off with code "JOSH" BON CHARGE - 15% off with discount code "JOSH15" Defender Shield - 10% off with discount code "JOSH" Neuvana - 15% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Nutrition + Gut Health SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the discount code "25JOSHTRENT" EONS Mushroom Coffee - 20% off with the discount code "JOSH20" Tiny Health - $20 off with discount code "JOSH20" Zbiotics | Breakdown Alcohol Byproduct  - 10% off with discount code "JOSH10" Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only Intelligence of Nature - 30% off with the code ‘JOSH30' ⁠EQUIP Foods - 15% off with the code JOSH15 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code "JOSH" Supplements Organifi - 20% off with discount code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Drink Update - Save 25% with discount code "JOSH25" Adapt Naturals - 15% off with discount code "WELLNESSFORCE" MitoZen - 10% off with the code “WELLNESS FORCE” Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” BiOptimizers - 10% off with discount code "JOSH10" Lightbody Total Eye Health - 20% off with discount code "JOSH20" Fitness + Physical Health Detox Dudes Online Courses - Up to $500 off with discount code "JOSH" SimplyO3 - 10% off with discount code "JOSH10" SinuSonic - 15% off with "JOSH15" Kineon - 10% off with discount code "JOSH10" Earth Runners Shoes - 10% off with the code "JOSH" Drink LMNT - Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Haven Athletic Gym Backpacks - $40 off with the code "JOSH10" ⁠Myoxcience - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Create Wellness Creatine Gummies - 20% off with discount code "JOSH20" Healthy Home QI-Shield EMF Device - 20% off with discount code "JOSH" Zyppah Complete Sleep Kit - 20% off with the code "JOSH" ALIVE WATERS - 33% off your first order with the code "JOSH33" Holy Hydrogen - $100 off with discount code "JOSH" Essential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Mental Health + Stress Release Mendi.io - 20% off with the discount code "JOSH20" Cured Nutrition CBD - 20% off with the discount code "JOSH20" LiftMode - 10% off with the discount code "JOSH10" NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the discount code "JOSH10" CalmiGo - $30 off the device with discount code "JOSH30" Personal Care OneSkin - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" ⁠EnergyBITS - 20% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE⁠" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" Cozy Earth - 40% with the code "JOSH40" Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Sathiya Sam Sathiya Sam is a coach and speaker who helps men live with confidence and integrity.

It's Josh Trent. This is Wellness + Wisdom, the podcast where we gather, apply, and embody these 5 sides of ourselves. These are important sides: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial. We call this the Wellness Pentagon, the very best and most importantly most actualized parts of yourself. These are the parts that we all want to nourish ourselves in so we can have the best life possible. And in these AMAs and in our entire podcast, the wellness and wisdom podcast, we bring on guests from around the world at the highest levels of thought, and highest levels of being. If you're interested in a full-length episode, those are our Tuesday episodes, so make sure you subscribe wherever you're listening. This is AMA 639, and today we're talking about something that affects us all, and that is collective consciousness. What do you think is the biggest threat towards collective consciousness? Let's talk about this today. And let's talk about how we can fortify and build a scaffolding of love and support and resources around ourselves so we do not fall prey to the clutches of modernity... [05:40] What Is Threatening The Collective Consciousness? We have one question today. And we have one question because it's a deep question. And it's from Mark Brown. What is Mark asking us? Mark's asking us a big, big question. What do you think is the biggest threat towards the collective consciousness? Well, there are many threats. If I was forced to pick one threat, it would be the dark energy, the Wetiko, that is completely permeable to not just our physical self, but our mental self. And what do I mean by this? In the episode 503 with Paul Levy, Paul talks about Wetiko, which the Native Americans described as dark energy or energy that wants to consume instead of create. Now, there are many ways that we could go with this, Mar, and we'll probably go back and forth a little bit because I think it is really important to get a woman's perspective, a feminine perspective. I'll speak from my masculine self, even though inside of me, there's feminine as well, which, you know, that's the whole reason we have a water sign, a triangle in the podcast logo because I'm still learning to understand this feminine side of myself. But from a masculine perspective, I think that the biggest threat towards collective consciousness is wetiko. Now there are some aspects of Wetiko that we need to unpack before I get to what I believe the true problem is and also the and subjective solution. I think that Wetiko, number 1, it likes to attach to hosts that don't know that their blood is sucked. The way that we see this play out is specifically with like the transgender movement when we have parents that are, sadly, it almost breaks my heart just to say this out loud, allowing their children to get their sexual organs cut off. That is Wetiko. Do gooding in the name of self-righteousness is Wetiko. Saying that I know better for you, I'm gonna give you this grace of cutting off your sexual organs at 10 years old, 11 years old. That is a key example of Wetiko. Wetiko likes to hide in self-righteousness. Anytime I am going into the depths of the ocean of self-righteousness where I know what's best for this person and to be completely blind to any kind of negative life-changing, life-altering ramifications that this little boy or little girl might encounter because of my self-righteousness where I'm going to ride on the coattails of a societal movement it's okay for young children to cut off their sexual organs because they quote think they're a boy when they're a girl. Well, guess what y'all? If you take a breath and you pull way back out of the clutches of Wetiko, out of the clutches of dark energy, demonic energy, you will find that there is always, always a logical, calm, loving, objective truth. And that logical, calm, objective, loving truth sees things from the all. When we see things from the all, we can see cause and effect. We can see that when one action is done, it's a positive action that has a direct result. But when we're so close to our self-righteousness, it's almost as if y'all could visualize, if your nose is touching an elephant, you can't see how big the elephant is. It's the same thing with Wateko. Dark energy likes to hide in self-righteousness because it is a way that it can perpetuate pain with the do-gooding cloak of modernity. The do-gooding cloak means I'm doing so good in life. I'm helping all these people. I'm a warrior for social justice. I'm helping these children express themselves. I'm just using that 1 example it's very, very, very permissive. And it's very, it subjugates children, it subjugates human beings to unnecessary damage, this aspect of self-righteousness. I think self-righteousness is a universal conundrum that we find ourselves in because hidden inside of self-righteousness is actually paradoxically the core aspect of caring about someone else, deep in Bill Gates' mind, deep in Fauci's mind, deep in these parents' mind and in their heart that are clopping, tearing off the genitals of these children, they actually, a part of them wants to do good. I don't think that people are inherently evil. I don't. I think the biggest threat towards our collective consciousness is that people are assuming that they're doing good, but they're actually permeating evil. And I think this is something that we really really get to look at. And by the way, it's not just the transgenderism with children. It's any kind of woke ideology that says, I know what's best for you and I'm not going to see this objectively. I'm only going to see this subjectively. And I'll pass this to you, Mar, after I say one last thing. If we're going to talk about collective consciousness, that means the all, right? So in all, that means we have to see things from a higher perspective, if we're gonna talk about collective. What's happening right now that people have fallen into, and it's happening more and more and more, is we're only applying subjective experience to the collective. But paradoxically, it doesn't make any sense, right? Because if we're gonna see the collective as the all, then we have to disassociate from the I. We can't just be subjective in our viewpoint. We have to be objective in the way that we see the collective consciousness. So I think, and there's many more, I think that if I was forced to describe the number 1 threat to our collective consciousness, it is this self-righteousness, is this almost syrupy tentacle kind of muse that comes into people's mind that masquerades as God, masquerades as light, but really what it is is demonic Wetiko and dark energy Wetiko that is manipulating parents, manipulating people and manipulating society, manipulating communities. It's so sad that dark energy is actually light. The greatest place for the devil to hide is in the church, right? There's many, many parallels that have been written about this in ancient texts all the way back to the Sumerians, by the way. In the Sumerian texts, there is an analogy and a story of Enki and Enlil. Have you seen the Gaia series, Ancient Civilizations? Mar, have you gotten to watch that yet? I believe so. Yeah. Like the Lemurians and Atlantis, all of that?  It is so fascinating. Y'all get to check this out, Ancient Civilizations. Enki and Enlil are essentially the light and the dark. There are metaphors that the Sumerians, and by the way, the Sumerians, it's the oldest written text on planet earth, stamped into stone, I mean, thousands and thousands of years ago. So they knew the biggest threat to our collective consciousness back then, multiple thousands of years ago. And I think if we can take a breath, rise up, and see the collective from the all, instead of being allured and manipulated into seeing society's issues and society's problems from a lens of self-righteousness, from the I, I think if we can disassociate from the I and see that all, we're gonna be in a much better place...

This is Josh Trent. This is Wellness + Wisdom, the podcast where we gather, apply, and most importantly, y'all, embody these 5 sides that we get to nourish ourselves in. The physical, the mental, the emotional, the spiritual, and also the financial. We signed up to master every single part of 1 of these 5 sides. Today is AMA number 637. We're talking about relationships. And this is a really, really timeless and timely episode. [05:05] How To Love Yourself + Your Partner All right, let's get into this question with Dana. We're just going to do this 1 question today for the AMA because it deserves a lot of depth and full transparency here. Dana has written in a few times, she's recorded a few messages. Thank you, Dana, for being such a great part of this audience. Let's listen to the question from Dana. The storybook we start out with before walking down the aisle evolves and changes. After about 15 years of marriage, maybe even 10 years of marriage. The spouse says, I don't like who you're being over time, one of them evolved. The storybook started as, you know, I want my wife to stay home so she can raise our children. And one  day she wakes up and says, I need more. Not that I need you to give it to me, but I need to do something. And then comes a whole bunch of other stories, guilt. This isn't what I wanted, whatever. And I've seen this over the years, working in people's homes and really paying attention to just the littlest how not hearing somebody not speaking up, it changes it. And it changes love, I believe, you know, you can love someone, but do you love them unconditionally? Because they want to change because they want something different now because they want a career. It's just an idea. It was cool it was more of like a statement rather than a but it's really really fun to expand upon because there is a quote and I don't know who it was from, but it goes something like this. When it comes to love and relationships, specifically intimate relationships, 1 must be willing to die a thousand deaths to be able to love the person that is a rebirth each time. And that is actually what I think Dana, you're touching upon. And for all of us that have been in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, even decades-long relationships, you know that I'm speaking the truth. When you look at relationships through a lens of true unconditional love, and this is something where we'll link in the show notes the episode that I did with Margo my lady, my mother, my children, my life partner, my everything, Carrie Michelle. One thing that came up during that podcast that was birthed through me was the death of the old way that I saw love. I did not have the faculty, the emotional or mental faculty to actually love Carrie Michelle for who she was, because there was this element that really I was in fear of losing her. I was in fear of losing her. I was in micro ways and some macro ways controlling the relationship. And it wasn't until I got very clear through the guidance of Margo running, through our support with the plant allies, through ceremony, through breath work, through presence, through doing the real work, which by the way is really hard, lots of tears, but lots of death, lots of death of the old version of myself. And what I learned from this was, if I can unconditionally choose to unconditionally love her, starting with unconditionally loving myself, that is the ticket to freedom. That is the ticket to liberation had to come to terms with, and it really was connected to my own death. And I don't know if y'all can relate to this. If you have a fear of dying, then that is your path to do work on because fear of dying really is just connected to sadness. It's just connected to sadness that you won't be able to make love with your partner again. You won't be able to hold your children again. You won't be able to eat an orange naked on the top of a hillside when coming up. There are so many things that we won't get to do anymore. And so instead of having anger or sadness or grief around the idea of death, understand that our fear of death Is connected to fear of loss in a relationship. As we talked about with my mentor and with my friend Mark Tollefson, that we'll also link here in the show notes, it's not that we fear death, it's that we fear being in union with the not having the answer of what mystery wants when we're gone. When we leave human form, there's an uncertainty. There's a not knowingness about where we go and what that is. And I think that's the way that the creator designed it, by the way. So the connection between fearing our own death and accepting the death of each stage of a relationship, remember, we have to be willing to die a thousand deaths and fall in love with our man or woman over and over and over and over again because that is what love wants. True unconditional love does not mean I will love you if. True unconditional love does not mean I will only give you my love if. True unconditional love just wants to express itself. That's really what unconditional love is. Now, many of us, and Mar, I'm sure you can relate to this. We grew up in situations with our parents, God bless them. We love them because they were doing the best they could with the level of consciousness they had at that and still are. We were taught at a very young age that we bring into intimate relationships, Dana, by the way, we were taught at a very young age that we only get love if we do A, B, or C. We only get love if we operate in the way that our parents wanted us to operate in. And what happens is we create a filter, an unconscious filter that we bring into our adult life. And we unknowingly, unknowingly, unconsciously project that filter onto our partner. Have you ever dealt with this personally, Mar? Something that you learned from your mom or your dad or, you know, your caregivers that you can look back with on yourself and say, hmm, I definitely projected that onto my previous partner. I was definitely projecting a lot of things from my family. And actually, my last relationship revealed a lot of that to me, so thanks to that relationship being so dysfunctional and so complicated, I was able to finally realize how many things I was projecting. And definitely one of them was abandonment. It was a big one. So it's like everything I was doing was out of fear of losing that person. So it wasn't even love, I was motivated by something rather negative than something positive to be in that relationship because once I was able to get out of it and like look at it from a more neutral perspective without any feelings attached. I didn't actually love the person. I just loved being in a relationship or being wanted and feeling like, okay, somebody chose me and that's what I was fighting for, not for the person. Yeah, well, so I think we all can relate to this. I'm 44 years old and Dana, I don't know your age, but I don't, this applies to everyone, whether it's like, when do people start dating? I can't even imagine my daughter dating. I'm like, no, you're not dating until you're 25. But it's probably, I would say 16, 17, 18, where people start to, or at least they think they fall in love. And then all the way up until your 90s, right? You can still get married and fall in love in your 90s or even 100 years old. And I think what this points to is the awareness of self. You know, we talk about the physical, the mental, the emotional, the spiritual, and the financial in our Liberated Life Tribe. And I really feel like to have true liberation, we get to do the work to unconditionally love us first, first and foremost. In Greek mythology and the temple at the Apollo, there is a phrase written in Greek and it says, know thy self. And I think that's the ultimate wisdom that we can learn from our ancient masters is like they had it wired, they had it figured out on lockdown a long time ago. They knew that unless you did not know yourself, then you would never be able to know thy lover or know thy life partner. And so I think true sacred union and true intimacy in relationships can only be found when a human being is 2 things, 1, committed to their own growth, committed to their own self-love...

It's going to be a high-stress environment. You know, all the things that kind of make you fear of like, oh my god, the baby's coming. I was wondering if you had maybe a list of supplements or a protocol to kind of help around, you know, dampening the impact of that stress or that sleep deprivation. Maybe if there's things leading up to the birth event, things post-birth, I'm sure there are sets of supplements or practices. Keith: I've been dealing with some pretty notable liver issues. And for context, 5-6 years ago, I had chronic liver failure diagnosed from Vanderbilt. I don't have any disease at all.  The doctor said everything's fine with me.

It's Josh Trent. It's Mar. We're here for another AMA. This is the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast. And this is where we explore these 5 sides of self, right? You know the ones, the mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial ways that we either nourish or starve ourselves here on planet Earth. Mar, as always, I'm so excited to be with you today. How are you doing? So am I. How am I doing today? It's been a long week for me. It's just a lot of processes happening at the same time. Well, as you mentioned before we started recording, it's a retrograde. So it might be it. Who knows if it's the stars, the universe, or if it's just me, things are shifting. Yeah. I think it's all of us. And look, y'all can relate to this, right? Like when it's a full moon, 5 years ago, 6 years ago, really when I was in a completely different space, and I hope all of you grow every year at least, definitely every 5 years, I remember I was like, what's up with this moon thing? Does it really matter if your body is being affected by the neap and the spring tides' magnetic gravitational pull of the moon on the water on the earth? And then I realized, oh my God, Mar, my body is over 90% water by volume. So if it is true that the Neap and the spring tides, the way that the tides are pulled, the way that the swells are calculated, by the gravitational force of the moon on the earth, and that's water, then we definitely get affected. I get affected, you get affected. It's less about woo-woo and more about hardcore science when you think about the Earth's magnetic pull and they are affected because the water in our bodies is identical to the way that water is affected by the moon on Earth. So it's really real y'all, this quotient that Carrie Michelle, my lady, has been studying for so much of her life, the quotient of astrology and the way that planets affect us, it is real. [07:50] Sleep Deprivation with A Newborn Baby All right, let's get into the first question. Today's first question is from Jim. He's talking about having a new baby and we're going to get into this right now because this really hits the heart for for all parents that are dealing with being tired. Hey there, Josh. So I'm about to have a baby here in September and you hear all these stories of, Hey, you're going to go through sleep deprivation. It's going to be a high-stress environment. You know, all the things that kind of make you fear of like, oh my god, the baby's coming. I was wondering if you had maybe a list of supplements or a protocol to kind of help around, you know, dampening the impact of that stress or that sleep deprivation. Maybe if there's things leading up to the birth event, things post-birth, I'm sure there are sets of supplements or practices. I know meditation and breathing, but if there is a succinct protocol that you have in mind or thoughts about that for myself and for my wife. Thanks. I appreciate it. Listen, sleep deprivation is real. But there are ways in which if I could pull the e-brake, if I could have gone back in time, I would have done 3 really important things that I think will help you and any parent who is dealing with this. Number 1, prepare yourself by building a sleep repository. What do I mean by this? Build a sleep repository. Take stock of the times in which you know sleep deprivation is coming. And just like you would stock your pantry in your kitchen, start stocking yourself with even more self-care and even more sleep way before the baby arrives. How do you do this? First of all, you sleep in a room that is about somewhere between 67 and 70 degrees. Then you make sure that you turn off all the EMF in your room. I'm talking 0, like no phone. If your phone's in your room, either turn it off or put it on airplane mode. Also, make sure that you have covers over your windows, right, this is called sleep hygiene. We had a phenomenal episode with Alex Wolfe. Not only do we talk about legal psychedelic microdosing, which I'll talk about in a minute, that's great for parents, but we talked about the different aspects of sleep hygiene. So I told you to build this sleep repository, right? You're going to take from this later and your sleep deprivation is going to happen and there's going to be interest. So what does interest do? It stacks up. So if you know interest is coming and you know that your sleep deprivation is coming, then start to build this big bolus, right? Almost like a camel in the desert. Camels can go a week without water, but they can drink like 40 gallons at a time or so. It's crazy. I don't know the exact amount. It's wild. Be a camel when it comes to your sleep, build this repository, do as much self care and as much love, self-love practices as you can, way before the baby arrives, it's going to give you more capacity to be able to deal demands. Secondly, I talked about the hygienic aspects, right? So have your room be that 67 to 70-degree temperature somewhere in there. I think 67 is optimal. Make sure you're not bathing yourself in EMF when you sleep. A really phenomenal way to do this is actually just to get some different blockers in your house, things that actually either block EMF or be in harmony with EMF. A really good tool for 1 of those is called the Qi device. We did an episode with Pavel that we'll link in the show notes. You can just go to JoshTrent.com/Qi. That's a really good device for harmonizing EMF while you sleep. The next thing is to make sure that you actually have some kind of practice before you go to bed that includes you knowing the baby's gonna be there. So whether you're doing co-sleeping, whether you're having the baby in a different room, make sure that you've communicated about this actual construct that you and your wife will be creating... [14:40] The ANGER In You Liver Okay, let's get to the next question. This is a really interesting question. This is from our listener, Keith, and Keith is talking about something that I think we all can relate to. This is a big part of this AMA today, and it's one of my favorite parts. Sleep deprivation is not my favorite, but it is my favorite thing, one of my favorite things to talk about because gosh, it's just so hard. So I have compassion for you. I really do. I have compassion for you. And Jim, just do your best. Just do your best and have the best strategy you can. All right, let's hear from our listener, Keith. He's gonna ask us about what's going on with his liver. By the way, nothing we ever talk about on this podcast is medical advice. Y'all already know that, but I get to say it again. Let's hear from Keith. Hey, Josh, hope you're doing well. Keith Bresee here. So as you know, for the last year or so, I've been dealing with some pretty notable liver issues. And for context, 5, 6 years ago, I had chronic liver failure diagnosed from Vanderbilt. I've since reversed that from the same doctor by doing things like keto or candida diet or whole 30 basically. I can't have sugar, processed sugar, cow dairy, or gluten. I've had this year alone 20-30 needles stuck in me and I do not have any autoimmune disease. I don't have any disease at all. And the white coat doctors keep telling me, Hey, nothing's wrong with your liver or gallbladder. Go home. We can't help you. There's nothing wrong with you. I've had so many tests, nothing's wrong, but I will still have twice a week now, it's come down on the frequency, liver or gallbladder attacks, and it's probably gonna happen today, I can feel it, to where I'm on the floor rolling in excruciating pain and it just surges, It doesn't let up. It is the most excruciating thing I have ever experienced. It is, it's so painful. That's an understatement. And when it happens, my day is done. I can't, the pain just wipes me out. And so the doctor said everything's fine with me. So with everything you've, with everyone you've talked to, what are some non-conventional approaches to gut health that come to mind? You know what I find fascinating, Mar, is we are searching in this world for healing spiritual maladies, healing emotional maladies, or disease with the mind and the intellect. Have you noticed that science is always trying to put a label or a meaning or a definition on something that if you've done any spiritual you know it is coming from either spiritual or emotional or mental distress? Have you seen this? Have you felt this? Well, we've been conditioned to always go to the doctor when something is wrong and we're disconnected completely from our bodies. It's like the body's telling you a lot. At the moment that you're processing some difficulties and some struggles, it's already giving you some signs, but we don't feel them because we're so disconnected. And it just like over time, it just like stacks, and eventually it becomes a disease. So I think it's just like connecting to the body. It's like, there's all the answers you're looking for, but we just cannot see it. We cannot feel it. Well said. There's a term in Western medicine, it's called idiopathic. And idiopathic is where they just basically don't know what it is. Idiopathic is like spontaneous remission, spontaneous disease presentation. But we all know that really idiopathic, I find it funny that "idio" or "idiot" is in the first part of it. And it's because there are certain things that science could never explain. Science doesn't know why when the sperm penetrates the egg, there's this grand flash of white light. No one can actually understand that. But it's because there are certain things that God creator, that spirit is actually trying to communicate to us and is actually doing a perfect job of communicating to us at all times. But the challenge is, like you said, we have to be able to be clear enough as a vessel to hear it. Look at our entire society, Keith. Our entire society, and especially I know the work that you do, because Keith is a friend of mine. Keith works in internet marketing and does a lot of coding and a lot of heady work, a lot of intellectual work. And so I find it funny, and not to make fun of you, I'm not trying to be obtuse, Keith. I find it funny that you would ask, hey, what is the strategy for alternative gut health? When really, if you've gone to the physicians and they've done the testing and they tell you that nothing's wrong, well then I just ask you to sit with yourself for a moment. What do you feel is wrong? Not what you think, but what do you feel is really your body's divine intelligence trying to direct you back to the answer? Then just sit with that for a moment. And we all get to sit with that for a moment because any time that something can't be explained, it's being explained in a way that you've shut yourself off from. It's being told to you, it's just harder to listen if you're trying to use the mind to hear it.

Wellness + Wisdom Episode 633 What story are you living? Are you writing your own or living someone else's? Deep down, are you living the life that you desire? In this special replay of episode 439, Josh Trent speaks with the Owner of SunLife Organics and Author of the best-selling book, I Forgot to Die, as well as his newest release, Remembering to Live, Khalil Rafati, shares his incredible healing journey from homeless to limitless, breaks down the concept of learned helplessness, explains why pain and struggle can be powerful teachers, unpacks his own plant medicine experience, and explores how to heal the body and mind with nutrients and spirituality. "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 ❄️ Biohack Your Mind & Body with Plunge Ice Baths!

Khalil's own wellness journey and where it has brought him today. Why he chose the name and the lotus for SunLife Organics' brand image and how it relates to his story. How divine feminine energy led him to SunLife Organics. What intelligence really is and you don't have to be book smart to be successful. How he became burnt out from working in restaurants but then his love for smoothie shops brought him back to the industry. 431 David Wolfe The walls he kept facing on his journey to opening the first SunLife Organics location. 361 Luke Storey Specific moments when God or Source has been there for him and has helped him in times of dire need.   [24:00] Healing Our Inner Wounds Answering the question, "Do we have to experience pain to grow and know love?" Eben Britton The deep questions and thoughts that come to Khalil's mind sometimes that are part of his humble growth process. Why hitting rock bottom and stumbling have helped him experience the most incredible breakthroughs. Alan Watts Khalil's and Josh's own father wounds and why many men are healing from this too. Exploring what God or Source could be and why Khalil feels like it is divine feminine energy. Paul Chek | All is God Khalil's top advice for living life well and achieving your goals. 438 Justin Donald  The value of getting to the point where your money is making money for you every day. How Josh now sees wellness and it's not a square but a pentagon that includes emotional, physical, mental, spiritual, and financial health. Why our money wounds tend to stem from those that our parents or caregivers had when we were children.   [32:30] Healing Khalil's Childhood Trauma The moment that Khalil finally left Ohio and why it was such a powerful moment for him. The truth that was shown to Khalil when all his father said to him when he was about to drive to California was, "Good luck." How Khalil has tried to help his father as much as he could over the years and the difficult moment when Khalil told him to stop asking for money. The suspicion Khalil had that his mother didn't have the bandwidth to love him because she had Stockholm Syndrome. Why Khalil is thankful for his experience with drugs and alcohol as they were eventually part of his wellness journey to healing. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho How his journey to California led him to meet and work with all of these famous people from Elizabeth Taylor to Slash and Axel Rose. The varying degrees of trauma in life from lower case 't' to capital 'T' and the fact that we all experience some form of trauma in life. Khalil's turning point to finally be able to focus on healing his addiction after trying for so long. The full own systemic infection and yeast overgrowth Khalil had because of his poor oral health.   [34:00] Khalil's Spiritual Journey to Building a Relationship with God Why Khalil detested his parents' religions so much and the Catholicism practices he was taught in school as a child and just pushed any spiritual or religious idea to the side until he started to heal as an adult. How Khalil's mindset shifted dramatically to see God and spirituality in a more positive light as he prayed for his healing. Powerful moments in Khalil's life where people have helped him on his path to healing physically, mentally, and spiritually. The obstacle Khalil faced of trying to figure out what he was going to do and where he was going to stay once he got out of rehab. Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse The little things Khalil started to do to try to be a good samaritan as he built his relationship with God. Why addiction can be a spectrum from our phones to food to porn to drugs. Josh's own addiction to porn and how a poor Ayahuasca ceremony took him beyond the edge and his healing journey from that. 275 Paul Chek   [55:30] From Helplessness to Humility What learned helplessness is and how we can turn it into learned humility. How our parents, partners, and even the school system can teach us learned helplessness. Why the school system failed Khalil as a child and told him all these negative things about him. Subtle programming that happens to children whose families live on welfare and what Josh's experience was like in the 1980s. Why learned helplessness is not true; it's a story that we're taught. The fact that anyone can be in so much pain that they can change things in their life in an instant. Why Khalil does not see himself as a spiritual person and he has yet to master humility in his relationship with God. How we mature through life and at some point have to take sole sovereignty for ourselves and everything - good or bad - that is happening in our lives. Why he thinks it's better to not know what you want to do with your life at 25 than to actually know: the journey is the destination and you're supposed to struggle. His past girlfriends and the ups and downs he faced with them as he struggled with his own demons. Some of the best advice a close friend gave him about letting go of issues that aren't serving us.   [1:07:30] Which Inner 'Wolf' Are You Feeding? The Native American story of the "two wolves." Joe Dispenza Bruce Lipton Tony Robbins Mel Robbins Dr. Kyra Bobinet The fact that whatever you put your focus towards - good or bad - it will grow. How you can shift your subconscious thoughts from negative to positive ones. The Secret trailer Think and Grow Rich trailer Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz How feeding the "good wolf" within led to an incredible transformation for Khalil's health, career, relationships, and beyond. Khalil's regular biohacking practices during this transformation including saunas, niacin, dry brushing, and cold showers.   [1:15:30] Why Pain & Struggle are Great Teachers Around the Year with Emmet Fox: A Book of Daily Readings The early stages of how Khalil got back on his feet with the help of other people. His introduction to the world of saving and investing money. Other forms of addiction like watching a movie over and over again or becoming obsessed with the stock market. How Khalil lost all of his money in one night because he didn't sell in the market at the right moment. The incredible moment when Around the Year with Emmet Fox: A Book of Daily Readings was brought back into his life after he lost everything and how it has helped him find solace. Josh's own experience with losing money in cryptocurrency and the message that came to him from Khalil's book. The power of financial wisdom and why it's about finding the middle way; not being greedy. Lao Tzu How moments of pain, discomfort, and struggle can bring us to great wisdom. His process of compassion and inquiry of self when he is faced with something difficult. How his girlfriend, friends, and random downloads from time to time help him see the reality of what he thinks is happening. Making peace when things that we perceive as "bad" happen to us but then they really don't make that much of a difference in our lives. Why, even if we hit zero or rock bottom, we can safely know that we'll be all right and we can come back in life.   [1:33:00] Healing The Body & Mind from Within The fact that 90% if not more of the thoughts we experience about events we perceive as negative when in reality they're neutral. How we make sense of moments when we're attacking ourselves and how to heal from that. The daily self-care practices Khalil does regularly to help his mental health. breathwork.io How simply changing your posture to either be closed or open can release cortisol or serotonin and dopamine. 436 Dr. John Lieurance MitoZen Wellness Force Store 401 JW Ross Feel Free by Botanic Tonics 400 Cal Callahan   [1:40:00] The Right Timing (If Right for You) to Try Plant Medicine The importance of waiting to try something like Feel Free (kava and kratom) or plant medicine if you are newly sober. Khalil's experience being sober for 18.5 years and that personal process for him. The spiritual pride he developed around being "Sober Guy" and why he used to be offended when people suggested plant medicine or any other healing drugs. Michael Pollan Ben Greenfield How Khalil has helped other people heal and become sober plus incredible stories of men he thought would never change but then they experienced plant medicine journeys. Similarities he kept seeing pop up like seeing specific animals in groups of three plus the powerful symbols of animals. 425 Alyson Charles The moment Khalil tried plant medicine for the first time and though he was nervous as a former addict, he knew it was time and something he was supposed to do for his healing journey. Why Khalil would not advise anyone newly recovering from drug addiction (0-10 years sober) to try plant medicine.   [1:51:00] Using Plant Medicine Responsibly Why it's so important to use other tools like breathwork, therapy, float tanks, or journaling to help you heal trauma before you even consider doing plant medicine. The dangers of doing plant medicine ceremonies, especially ill-prepared ones, all the time. Why it's not good to do a plant medicine ceremony for only the purpose of getting high; in that scenario, you're basically a drug addict. What can happen if a plant medicine ceremony goes wrong like it did for Josh and why it's so important to be financially stable to help you should you need it. Why you have to look out for unearned wisdom when you try Ayahuasca. Tim Ferriss:An Urgent Plea to Users of Psychedelics: Let’s Consider a More Ethical Menu of Plants and Compounds The importance of holding yourself with loving awareness when you go into a plant medicine ceremony. Why it's not spiritual to have multiple partners; the sacred reunion lies in monogamy no matter your sexual orientation. The power of love and why it's greater than anything else in the world. Why they love living in Austin, Texas so much, especially for its welcoming community. The downside of fame and why it's basically a prison mentally, emotionally, and physically.   [2:11:00] The Healing Power of Community Unpacking what suffering and shame really are and how to move through it. His advice for anyone trying to recover from addiction for the first time. How doing group workouts and suffering with other people made him realize that pushing through these hard things isn't really suffering when you have community. Why anyone can heal, succeed, and find happiness if they really want to go after their goals. The powerful truth that we all get what we want but you have to figure out what that is and take action to make it come true. What wellness means to Khalil after all of the experiences he has had in life. How he sets healthy boundaries for himself and his schedule. Khalil's own self-awareness about what he posts on Instagram and how that impacts him and those who follow his feed.   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 Links From Today's Show  SunLife Organics Malibu Beach Yoga Riviera Recovery I Forgot to Die by Khalil Rafati Remembering to Live by Khalil Rafati Be Here Now by Ram Das Gabor Maté 431 David Wolfe 361 Luke Storey Eben Britton Alan Watts Paul Chek | All is God 438 Justin Donald The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse 275 Paul Chek Joe Dispenza Bruce Lipton Tony Robbins Mel Robbins Dr. Kyra Bobinet The Secret trailer Think and Grow Rich trailer Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz Around the Year with Emmet Fox: A Book of Daily Readings Lao Tzu 436 Dr. John Lieurance 401 JW Ross 400 Cal Callahan Michael Pollan Ben Greenfield 425 Alyson Charles Tim Ferriss:An Urgent Plea to Users of Psychedelics: Let’s Consider a More Ethical Menu of Plants and Compounds Khalil Rafati Instagram Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code "JOSH10" PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code “WELLNESSFORCE" SiPhox - 10% off with code "JOSH" BON CHARGE - 15% off with discount code "JOSH15" Defender Shield - 10% off with discount code "JOSH" Neuvana - 15% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Nutrition + Gut Health SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the discount code "25JOSHTRENT" EONS Mushroom Coffee - 20% off with the discount code "JOSH20" Tiny Health - $20 off with discount code "JOSH20" Zbiotics | Breakdown Alcohol Byproduct  - 10% off with discount code "JOSH10" Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only Intelligence of Nature - 15% off with the code ‘JOSH15' ⁠EQUIP Foods - 15% off with the code JOSH15 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code "JOSH" Supplements Organifi - 20% off with discount code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Drink Update - Save 25% with discount code "JOSH25" Adapt Naturals - 15% off with discount code "WELLNESSFORCE" MitoZen - 10% off with the code “WELLNESS FORCE” Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” BiOptimizers - 10% off with discount code "JOSH10" Lightbody Total Eye Health - 20% off with discount code "JOSH20" Fitness + Physical Health Detox Dudes Online Courses - Up to $500 off with discount code "JOSH" SimplyO3 - 10% off with discount code "JOSH10" SinuSonic - 15% off with "JOSH15" Kineon - 10% off with discount code "JOSH10" Earth Runners Shoes - 10% off with the code "JOSH" Drink LMNT - Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Haven Athletic Gym Backpacks - $40 off with the code "JOSH10" ⁠Myoxcience - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Create Wellness Creatine Gummies - 20% off with discount code "JOSH20" Healthy Home QI-Shield EMF Device - 20% off with discount code "JOSH" Zyppah Complete Sleep Kit - 20% off with the code "JOSH" ALIVE WATERS - 33% off your first order with the code "JOSH33" Holy Hydrogen - $100 off with discount code "JOSH" Essential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Mental Health + Stress Release Mendi.io - 20% off with the discount code "JOSH20" Cured Nutrition CBD - 20% off with the discount code "JOSH20" LiftMode - 10% off with the discount code "JOSH10" NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the discount code "JOSH10" CalmiGo - $30 off the device with discount code "JOSH30" Personal Care OneSkin - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" ⁠EnergyBITS - 20% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE⁠" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" Cozy Earth - 40% with the code "JOSH40" Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Khalil Rafati Khalil Rafati is a speaker, author, and health & wellness entrepreneur.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 632 What can biohacking reveal about your life and why is it a more masculine approach to holistic health? Jerry Kuykendall, Founder of Biohacking Truth, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 632, to share why he approaches biohacking as a holistic health tool, how you can use attunement to heal, and why self-love is the key ingredient that will end your suffering.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Biohacking Is a Masculine Approach to Healing "Women are being asked to be more masculine in the world and men are being encouraged to be more feminine. I think that biohacking is the masculine representation of holistic health.
