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.

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?...

"What piece of advice would you give a brand-new mom who's struggling to feel like herself after giving birth?" Okay, first and foremost, I was raised by a single mom and a single mom on welfare, by the way. So if y'all don't know what welfare is in the United States, it's like Velveeta cheese and processed cereal and the food you could ever eat. Not to mention my dad was not at home. So, Christina, my heart goes out to you whether you have a husband or a man in the house or not. If you don't, then this question holds even more weight. Let's start with if you do have at home, a husband at home, a partner at home. So the best way for you to get back in your body is just to give yourself there's going to be 9 months or more, because you carry a child for 9 months typically, 9 months or more that you are going to go through an out-of-body and reintegration in-body experience. And I can speak from personal experience on this, Mar. Have you ever had a friend or a family member who's delivered a child? Yeah, a few. Did you notice their behavior was different or they just act differently once they had the child? It's just a lot of stress and lack of sleep. So I'm not surprised that people just, it brings the worst out of them because just don't have enough nourishment and enough sleep and enough, like anything that a person needs to feel well. Yeah, no doubt. The struggle is real y'all for single moms or moms with husbands. So let's start on model number 1 with a husband or a father. The best thing you can possibly do is from a grounded place. And I learned this from an episode we did with Margo Running. And Margo was telling me that when she broke up with the father of her children, she did all the work to come from the most loving grounded space and the way that she would speak about the children speak about the father. Now, going back to the first model, if the father is in the home, you can do the same thing. I've experienced just on a personal level, a lot of friction with Carrie Michelle, with my partner, with the mother of my children, because she was learning this new version of herself as a mom. I was learning this new version of myself as a father, especially when my son Nova was born in 2021. Oh my gosh. The phrase that comes to mind is the phoenix rising from the ashes. Because when you go through a birth process, Christina, you are literally being decimated. You're going through a birth and a death at the same time. And I think this is easy for men to forget for sure. I think women understand this on a more visceral level because to be, and I know this is a reductionized statement, women tend to be more in tune with their unconscious than men. I think it's just how they're wired for nurture... [11:50] Reparenting Your Adult Self All right, let's get to the next question, Mar. Who is next? Next, we have Maureen, and she also sent us an audio about reparenting her adult self. So it's going to be a good one. "Hi Josh, I am wanting to break through limitations and expand the field of possibilities for myself. I've been looking into inner child work, shadow work, and reparenting stuff recently. And I've made a list of child self-attributes and adult self-attributes for reparenting purposes. For the most part, I could see where I could adult my inner child parts but when I came down to the words the bottom felt pretty stuck. I reached a point where I haven't successfully adulted yet I realized where I am still juvenile and inexperienced in my development And that area is around wishing someone else would just take charge so I can in the world. I still want some sort of parentified figure, like a boss or even my husband, to set parameters and reassure me that I'm safe. And at that moment when I was trying to ask myself how I would parent self part of me who needed that kind of caretaker to feel safe in the world, I felt really at a loss. I don't know how to take charge and step into that role of an adult who enjoys and feels confident being in charge and at ease in the world in that position. So my child self doesn't have to live in fear. I had a bit of fear and anxiety around the idea of not knowing how to take charge. So my question to you is, how do I develop that adult self with the sense of confidence in taking charge of my own life and feeling safe to do so in the world. Thanks." Wow, what a beautiful question. I'm just like smiling right now. What a beautiful question. Gosh, I mean, can you relate to this Mar? Completely. I've been there myself and I might still be there sometimes these days. So I totally understand. Yeah, Maureen. It's so good. I'm curious to Mar before I go into the layers of this because layers here, Maureen. So we're only going to do 3. Well, we get to do 3 big, beautiful questions today on the AMA. And I really wanted to spend a good portion of time on this because this is not a question that we just want to breeze through. There are some really beautiful deep layers here. I'm curious When you heard Maureen's voice and when you felt her energy, what arose for you? What about your own life experience, Mar, could you relate to in her share? I would say it's just not allowing yourself or not giving yourself the permission to access all these spaces where you can feel safe, where you can express yourself and allow others to hear you and see you. Because what I noticed recently, I've always wanted to be seen and heard, but I also realized I was so scared to be seen and heard. So there's this internal blockage that's stopping you from what you actually want. And it's, it's so confusing, can be so confusing for a person to get through all of that. So that's something that came up for me. Would you say in those moments, and I'm not here to psychoanalyze you, I just think this is such good material for what she asked, for what Maureen asked. Would you say that there's one side of you that knows exactly what you want. And there's another side of you, maybe unconscious or an aspect of yourself unconsciously that wants something else. 100%. How would you describe that? I think there are some social constructs that I put on myself and that I need to get out of the way that are limiting me and some things that I also bring from my childhood that I need to unlearn in order to really be myself. That's what it is. Yes, All right. That's a great starting point. You said really be myself and that's it, isn't it? We all are on this journey and it's become very clear to me this year, 2024 y'all, I don't know if you feel it, like we're only a few months into the year. There has been more death, rebirth, physical death, spiritual death, emotional death... [30:05] Anxiety + Depression = Self-Love? Let's get on to the next question. What's the next one, Mar? All right, the next question we have is from Diane. "Hey Josh! For someone that struggles with both anxiety and depression where do I even fucking begin to address the way that I feel in my body when they hit me SO hard? There are times when I don't even know what to do and all I can do is just lay down on the floor and cry. What are your thoughts on this?" I took a deep breath because I have been there. And I'm probably there like a few times a quarter, really, where I'm just like, I'm feeling so much right now. What do I do with this? Can you relate more? I've been there not many times, but I have All right good for you. I don't think it has to be our path that we always do this stuff, right? But depending on the level of trauma that we've experienced Here's what I believe. I was meditating on this before we recorded today and I wrote this that I want to read to you. So, the manifestation of anxiety and is the result of a broken family unit and tribe that equals validation of the unconscious evidence that we are loved, that we aren't worthy, and that we won't be accepted by others. So really what this is a call for is this is a call for your protection and your own self-love. Now at first audible, you might be like, well, how do I make sense of that? Like, what are you talking about? I'm on the floor like screaming or crying or feeling like shit. Okay, well, what I'm saying is from the brokenness and from the bottom of everything that you're feeling, what is it? What's there? All that's there is energy. All that's there is energy in motion. That's why it's called emotion. And energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be moved. It can only be transmuted. So if that's the truth, and if a part of you believes that's the truth, Diane, and I know you do because you wouldn't be here with us if you didn't know that that was already true in some way, then really this process for you can be started by just tracing back to the trauma. You don't have to know why it happened. This is where, Mar, a lot of people loop. Why did it happen? What's the meaning of why it happened? Oh my god, and we can just get so down the fucking rabbit hole of like what's the existential meaning of this? Something I learned in NLP training with Scott Jackson. It's a powerful episode by the way We're gonna link that in notes Diane Trace back the trauma like what is your emotional inventory process right now? We already listed out the steps of the EI2 process, the beginning steps. What are the tools of inventory and of somatic that you've already implemented? I'm guessing if you find yourself in this place a lot, then potentially those tools aren't in place. So let's list out some really practical things. We'll start at the bottom of the staircase, we'll go to the middle, and then we'll end up on the second floor, okay? And Mar, if you're feeling anything, just interrupt me because I know this is something that you and I have jammed on before. This manifestation of anxiety and depression is the result of a break in the bond. A beautiful, beautiful resource for this is our second episode that we did with Mark Wolynn. He talks about the break in the bond and break in the bond is really specific to our healing to identify not why it happened, but just that it happened. A break in the bond is a split from the mother. All wounds, by the way, originate from the mother, either in utero or epigenetically or in the first 7 years of life or in young adulthood. Everything, everything, everything, if you look at science or spirituality, it all starts with the mother. Now the father wound also takes place, but we are birthed from our mother. So of course the origin of all trauma and place for all healing starts with the mother. And so the father wound is part of this, but I'm really going to focus on the mother here. There is some part of a break in the bond with our mother figure or feminine energy that brought us into the world deserves attention...

Let's start with the masculinity that's in deprivation. This is from Anna. Let's listen to the question right now. "Do you think masculinity is in deprivation in our society of feminism?" Well, the short answer is yes. And I'll tell you why, but before I begin, Mar, you know, you and I were chatting about this before we jumped on, and there's a dark and a light to feminism. Now, you as a woman, right, The majority of our audience is women and also men who are interested in accessing the feminine inside of themselves. That's why we have the upside-down triangle in our company logo so that I can master that myself. From a feminine perspective, what do you think the light and the dark of feminism are in your, in your mental view? So I'm still in the process of figuring out what's the good part and what's the kind of negative feminism. I've never been involved in the feminist movement at all because my opinion is every moment that has gone is not serving its purpose anymore. And that has happened with every big movement, basically. So I do see it in a way that it has brought us some freedom in a sense we're not dependent only on men anymore, which in a sense is good, but in the same sense, we have become the masculine in the world as well, because we get to work every day and we get to earn our own money and take care of children and do everything on our own. And I don't think that's a good thing. We just do way too much. Right. It's beautiful. Look, so it's a great question, Anna, and I'll start by, We'll go into 3 different chunks here. I think any movement when it begins, it does come from a good place, right? And so women's suffrage has been happening for a long time. You know, Eckhart Tolle talked about the pain body of women. And just like a lake, if you were to throw a rock, which could essentially represent the dark side of the patriarchy, which is a real thing. Patriarchy and feminism both have a dark and a light. That rock of the dark side of patriarchy was thrown into the lake. And in some ways, in many ways, the ripple is still being felt by the feminine, by women in the world. So I'm not here to negate the suffrage of women or the pain that women feel. I am here to just bring a different perspective. So with that vantage point, when it started, feminism I believe was about getting women to a place where they feel empowered, where they feel free. Unfortunately, like most movements here in the matrix, that movement was captured early 1900s by the IRS and by top wealthy families in America. And it was a way to get women out of the house and into the workforce for this reason, to double the taxes that were actually collected. And also it sacrifices the family... [14:50] How to Build a Mental Grit What is our next question? We have one from Jackie. She's asking about your advice on building mental grit during these crazy times. "What is a way you can build resilience and grit in these crazy trying times with social media, 24-hour news cycle, etc? How can you build the skills needed to survive your mind during these crazy times? I appreciate your advice and your answer. Thank you." Isn't Jackie asking the quintessential question of our times? In this day and age where we're also quote, hyper-connected on social media, and we have the most perceived that we ever had, I think really what we're talking about here is a pseudo connection where our energy and really our focus is being harvested. I don't know about you, Mar, but I'm very aware of how much I'm on my phone. Do you have a great relationship with your phone or what is that like for you? I wouldn't call it a great relationship. I'm trying to get away from it as much as I can. And every time I'm in a real social situation interaction, I try to never use my phone. It's just, to me, it feels so rude when I'm face-to-face with somebody and they're just on their phone. I can't stand it and that's why I'm not doing that. But yeah, I'm definitely trying to bring the screen time down as much as I can. That's my goal. Yeah, it's well said. Y'all can go on your iPhone, I believe on your Android too. And you can look at your hours. It actually shows you on your phone how many times you pick it up and how much time you're spending on your phone. So if you think you don't have time, I challenge everyone who's here with us to pick up your phone and how much time you're spending on your phone. I remember we had a guest on the show. It was Dr. Kyra Bobinet and she was a neuroscientist. She told me something very, very powerful. She said, look, no matter if you have children or not, even as adults, we're all being trained. We're all being trained on a neurological level to seek comfort and to seek what's called reward circuitry in our limbic system from the phone itself. Another great resource for this is the episode we did with Nir Eyal, where he talked about the variable reward of cell phones. I think, Jackie, what your question really points to is the phone, because the phone and computers and social media, these are the devices and these are the things that are actually down our capacity to have mental grit. Look at our ancestors, right? They saw, and I'm talking like even our grandparents, Mar, they saw maybe 150 to 200 things that were high decision-making things that they needed to make decisions in life. We see 10,000 things or more. So it's like 20 to 100 X times of input that's coming at us all day long. We are human. We are half beast and half spirit. And so I think it's no surprise that all of us are struggling in some way with mental grit. Now, when you say crazy times, a lot of these crazy times are propagated by what we see on social. We've all heard the term doom scrolling, right? It's actually why Mar and myself and our entire team, we design content that can actually go out there and hook people where they are. And that is essentially maybe in the bathroom, going to the bathroom, doom scrolling, or on the trolley or whatever, like just going through your phone, trying to get some kind of a mental reward from just the normalcy of where you are. And I think what we've lost is the ability to just be present in a moment... [24:30] Find The Courage to Grow Let's get to the next question. It's from Joanna. So Joanna is calling out the new age bullshit and she wants to know the difference between forcing versus cultivating courage to accept life's purpose. It's so good. Oh my gosh, how many people can relate to this? Let's hear Joanna. "Hey Josh, my name is Joanna. And my question for you is, I've heard you in the past talk about how in the new age, people say things like, if it doesn't feel good, then don't do it. And I've heard you call BS on that. And I would love if you could elaborate more about that, specifically, like with differentiating between, like, if you're forcing something, and it's, you know, like, to just switch lanes versus like, something is meant for you. But it might just be hard, you know, like how do you differentiate clarity around the path? Because obviously it's going to be hard either way. So it might not feel good either way. I hope that makes sense." It makes perfect sense. So the analogy would be when to grit and when to quit and how to have the emotional mental faculty in order to know when you should be forcing something, which I believe now is never that I'll get into, versus cultivating the courage to accept your life purpose. And this is multi-layered. So let's spend some time on this one because this is a very contextual question. So in the new age, we have these phrases, Mar, like good vibes only. I've even seen T-shirts and sweatshirts. Have you seen these? Good vibes only, or like social memes? Love and light. What does that bring up for you when you see that? Well, I've been through a lot, I know it's not true. It's just one part of it. It's like we live in a dual world and so always the shadow part and we cannot ignore it. If we only focus on the light and the love and the good vibes only, we're missing out on a lot. No doubt. Yeah, and you know what we're missing out on is we're missing out on the human experience of just having a process in general. I'll never, ever, ever forget this. I was at Paleo FX back in the day when Paleo was happening here in Austin, and I was doing a live podcast with Christine Hassler. And she said, never allow yourself to rob someone else of their process. And why that's so important is because when we focus on hyper positivity, or when we focus on good vibes only, or just love and light, we're missing out on a fucking myriad of the human experience that is grief, pain, anger, resentment, betrayal, jealousy. Human emotions are not necessarily good or bad, right? They're just emotions. And so energy in motion is really just a clue as to where the energy is asking to be or where the energy is asking to be channeled. So when I'm feeling angry or upset, that's actually a good thing. It's a good thing because my boundary has been broken in some way, or I'm not being respected in some way, either by myself or my partner or a friend or a colleague.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Most People Want to Quit Drinking Caffeine "93% of Americans consume some form of caffeine every day but 90% want to consume less. If almost every one of us is consuming caffeine, and almost every one of us wants to consume less, why don't we?" - Shawn Wells Side Effects of Caffeine "Caffeine provides you with that jolt of overstimulation and then you crash. It raisse your anxiety levels. So all in all, you're just not feeling great after you consume it, even though you get that acute boost of energy." - Daniel Solomon All Diseases Are Metabolic in Nature "99% of disease is not genetic in nature, it's metabolic in nature. Your propensity to get any and all diseases is much higher when you're metabolically dysfunctional which is where you're going to have a 'trifecta of damage' on the mitochondria: oxidation, glycation, and inflammation. All of those are connected to disease and aging." - Shawn Wells Links From Today's Show  Daniel Solomons Shawn Wells 359 Shawn Wells: Ingredients For Healing, Self Love, & Mental Health Update Energy Drink - 25% off with code "JOSH25" How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan Logan Paul Panera Bread’s Charged Lemonade Linked to Second Death in Lawsuit Paraxanthine Supplementation Increases Muscle Mass, Strength, and Endurance in Mice Alive and Well Austin MANNA Vitality - 20% off with code "JOSH20" 565 Pavel Stuchlik | Connecting Back With Spirit: Dark Retreats, Iboga + EMF Detox (Your Guide To Self-Transformation) 129 The Four Tendencies – Gretchen Rubin 048 Nir Eyal: Breaking Bad Habits, Technology Addiction, & Emotional Triggers   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Supplements Drink Update - Save 25% with discount code "JOSH25" Organifi - 20% off with discount code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" 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" Biohacking BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” ⁠ClockWize Fertility Test - Save 10% with code "JOSH10" 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 "TRENT10" Neuvana - 15% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Nutrition + Gut Health SEED Synbiotic - 30% off with the discount code "JOSHTRENT" 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" 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 discunt 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" Feel Free from Botanic Tonics - $40 off with the discount code "WELLNESS40" CalmiGo - $30 off the device with discount code "JOSH30" Personal Care OneSkin - Save 15% with discount code "JOSH15" HigherDOSE - Save 15% with discount code "JOSH15" ⁠EnergyBITS - 20% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE⁠" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" Cozy Earth - Save 40% with discount code "JOSH40" Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Shawn Wells Shawn Wells, MPH, LDN, RD, CISSN, FISSN, is the Chief Scientist of UPDATE and the world’s leading nutritional biochemist and expert on health optimization.

After three years of trial and error, they created UPDATE – you can think of it as the Tesla of energy drinks.

The result is an energy drink that delivers the efficacy you expect from caffeine without any side effects.

[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. And we talked about this with Christopher Dufey. And there's also a really good reference for what I'm about to share, 11 ways to be a more conscious parent. Learn from Your Children 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. The LOA movement, the law of attraction movement, and the secret, actually did a lot of damage on people...
