This is a special solo cast where every Thursday I speak from the heart about a topic that I and we can all learn from that is both timeless and timely when it comes to our own journey of a life well lived. If you're brand new to the podcast, this may or may not be a perfect place for you to start. On Thursdays, I share an additional bonus episode, either with myself or myself being interviewed that I believe is of true value to one or all of the five sides of what we here at the Wellness + Wisdom podcast call the Wellness Pentagon... These are the five sides of the house we live in - they make up the quality of our life, so starting at the floor with our physical, then moving to the walls of our mental and emotional, and building the roof of our spiritual and financial within ourselves so that essentially we can show up and love our life and love others. I've definitely learned by becoming a father and producing this podcast in almost 10 years and with over 600 episodes that the true embodiment of intelligence only comes with time, compassion, and the work of integration. This is the only way I know it occurs and this is a topic that deserves exploration today. Specifically our spiritual development side of the Wellness Pentagon, now I am not a political activist. I do not choose a side. I am neither Democrat nor Republican so none of this that you were going to hear today on the podcast has anything to do with my political opinion, I'm simply a witness as you are of the shadow of humanity that is playing out right now with Palestine and Israel. Again, I want to remind you that this is not my opinion of which side is right or which side needs more resources, that is not important, what is important is that we all learn individually, and as a collective, as to why war exists specifically wars about religion or politics, which essentially always happen from a place of greed or control or power. The Intention of This Solocast My intention with this is to explore my own personal, and our collective wounding around the shadow of humanity that allows war to continue in the first place so let's begin. War is such a challenging thing, because it is found as a natural organic unfolding process in nature when we see bears at war or animals at war, or a shark eating a seal. Although grotesque and horrific beyond what many can tolerate, war is a continuation of modernity's shadow expression of greed, power, and control. War, in essence, has been called a continuation of politics by other means. In the heart of the Middle East, amidst the complex tapestry of history and conflict, lies a region that has become synonymous with strife and struggle - Palestine and Israel. For decades, these two entities have been entwined in a bitter and seemingly intractable dispute, leaving scars that run deep. However, beneath the surface of geopolitical tensions and historical grievances, there emerge profound lessons in self-love and self-healing that resonate not only within the borders of these nations but reverberate across the collective consciousness of humanity. Understanding the Context The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a mosaic of historical complexities, territorial disputes, and clashing national identities. Rooted in a history that spans centuries, the struggle for land and recognition has given rise to a cycle of violence that has left both Palestinians and Israelis grappling with the weight of their shared past. Yet, within this crucible of conflict, there lies an opportunity for self-reflection and growth, individually and collectively. Self-Love Amidst Adversity One of the most poignant lessons that emanate from the heart of this conflict is the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Palestinians, despite enduring decades of displacement and hardship, are exemplifying a self-determined and profound form of self-love. In the persistent pursuit of justice and recognition, they find strength within themselves, cultivating a deep-seated belief in the validity of their existence and the right to self-determination. Similarly, Israelis navigating a complex socio-political landscape marked by constant security concerns and historical trauma must confront their own journey towards self-love. The recognition of the need for security is intertwined with the acknowledgment that true peace is born out of understanding and empathy, both for oneself and the "other." The Power of Forgiveness In the quest for self-healing, forgiveness becomes a powerful tool for individuals and nations alike. The wounds inflicted by decades of conflict can only begin to heal when both Palestinians and Israelis acknowledge the pain of the past and extend empathy to one another. The olive branch must be extended, and I am not here to say that I know how it would be especially if I was a family member, who lost a brother, sister, mother, father, daughter, son, grandparent, or close relative. I can't even begin to imagine what that might feel like, and that deserves a deep breath and the deepest depth of compassion. The ability to forgive, while not forgetting, is an act of self-love that liberates individuals from the shackles of hatred and resentment. While this journey towards forgiveness is fraught with challenges, it offers an invaluable lesson for humanity at large. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict teaches us that the path to healing begins with acknowledging our own wounds and finding the strength to let go of the burden of hatred. What is happening right now in the Middle East deserves a global deep breath and there are really no words that I can say to assuage the pain that both sides are feeling and experiencing with levels of loss that most people cannot even comprehend or contend with here in North America for the most part. But it is the truth that the only way out is through what I believe is really happening right now in the Middle East, and really anywhere where there is bloodshed and children being killed, and families being separated, is the darkest part of our collective shadow that we are not willing to take an honest look at. The Darkest Part of our Shadow That dark part of our Shadow is the thing that makes me control, others, where I don't feel safe and myself, so I project that lack of safety onto other people, and then I start telling myself a story that the only way I can be safe is if I attack the person who I perceive may attack me. And so on and so forth, you can see how the spiral feeds itself how war leads to more war which leads to war, and the only way out is through. I remember we were talking about this on multiple podcasts, but one of them hit me the hardest when I was speaking with Scott Jackson in episode number 481 which you can find by going over to JoshTrent.com/481, where we were discussing neural linguistic programming, and this critical factor, which is essentially the barrier between our conscious and unconscious integration of self. It made me reflect on so many times in my life when I have harmed others, even when I didn't want to or when I was young, and I had a lack of awareness around my behaviors, which is essentially a microcosm that is playing out in a microcosm of this conflict in the Middle East, and also conflict across the planet. One thing I was reminded of by this podcast was how young we are as humanity. When you look at how old the world is and how old animals and different species are that have lived here on the planet. Humanity's Maturation We are essentially a teenager, young teenager, who is finding their way of love and fear of scarcity and abundance of dark and light, and although painful this is all designed by the creator, otherwise, it would not be happening, and that is the meaning that I rest upon. This meaning of mystery is that we don't know why the creator allows these things to occur, but we know that a part of ourselves is maturing, and it happens through thousands of generations just like it always has and always will. So I can take solace in the fact that you and I are here in this compensation hearts connected from this podcast that I know will ripple out to the hearts and minds of people who need to hear this most. But honestly what we need now is a different conversation of our micro behaviors because over time. Those micro behaviors are the very thing that will unravel the gauntlet of war. It may not seem like that now, especially if you look at the history of all of the world wars we've had, and all of the conflicts on the planet but what I know to be true is that within myself there is a tyrant, a general, a king, a lover, a magician, a warrior, and all the things, and it is only where I place my attention, that archetype grows within me. Where Do We Go From Here? So what does all this truly mean, what is the solution to this war, and the death, and tragedy, and trauma that is happening in the Middle East? I believe it is an awakening, an awakening of consciousness, and an awakening of a deeper awareness of self, and it is coming through violence and bloodshed, which, although incredibly sad beyond words, is playing out in the mysterious unfolding of life here on planet Earth. So the solution right now is that there is no solution other than the behaviors that we take in every single city that we live in with every moment of our lives with our children with our brothers and sisters, with the food that we eat the water that we drink the products that we buy the things that we believe in shape the reality of our lives, literally, and figuratively. What we need now is to start building schools and homes and families that return to a conservative nature and abide by and respect the laws of nature. The source of so many of these wars is a fear that you believe something different than I believe, specifically, when it comes to religion. Holy wars and religious wars are so ironically blind to themselves into their motivations for war in the first place. Because if you look at any religious text whether it's from China Israel Palestine, or even the depths of the Bible and Christianity at the core foundational teachings there is love acceptance and compassion. So how ironic is it that in any holy war where people are being killed because they do not believe what the other side believes, that they themselves have forgotten the very core foundation of their own religions, and that is, God is love. Building Bridges To The WE The physical and metaphorical walls that have been erected between Israelis and Palestinians symbolize the deep-seated divisions that exist within their societies. Yet, the very existence of these barriers serves as a stark reminder of the need to dismantle the walls within ourselves. The journey towards self-love and self-healing requires breaking down the walls of prejudice, bias, and fear that inhibits our ability to connect with others on a fundamental human level. As Palestinians and Israelis seek to build bridges of understanding, it prompts a global audience to reflect on their own internal barriers. The notion that true peace is achieved not through separation but through connection is a profound lesson that transcends borders. International Solidarity and Collective Healing The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not isolated from the broader context of global politics and human rights. In supporting the quest for justice and peace in the region, the international community participates in a collective act of self-love—a recognition that our fates are intertwined, and the healing of one part of the world contributes to the healing of the whole. The Crucible of Humanities Healing Palestine and Israel serve as a crucible of humanity's capacity for both darkness and light. The lessons in self-love and self-healing that emerge from this tumultuous region resonate with a universal call for introspection and transformation. As Palestinians and Israelis navigate the arduous path towards reconciliation, they provide humanity with a mirror through which we can examine our own prejudices, fears, and capacity for forgiveness. In embracing the profound lessons offered by this enduring conflict, we, as a global community, can move towards a future built on empathy, understanding, and the collective healing of wounds that transcend borders. The journey towards self-love and self-healing is, ultimately, a shared odyssey that unites us in our common humanity. I really hope this podcast allows your heart to expand and your mind to see things in a different way through a new set of eyes. As I said, this is not a political podcast, and I am not here to choose sides, my goal and intention with this episode is simply to give, a resounding call to myself, and all of us to heal the tyrant inside of us and the warmonger inside of us the one that controls by domination and power when we know if we've done any spiritual work, that true power only comes from peace. War of Self: The Journey Towards Forgiveness Because the power that comes from peace can be trusted and power that is taken by force never can be trusted because down the road one day that power will eventually be taken back by the people it was taken from because that power did not come from peace. So the way forward is, through the darkness, through this shadow of humanity through this incredibly what feels like insane time, the only way out is through so my wish is that all of us do our deep, spiritual work starting with ourselves our friends our families are community. Our cities are country, and that is what will shift the tide. Maybe in our lifetime maybe not but everything that we do now ripples forward to our children who will teach their children and eventually I do believe that a beautiful world we all know is possible that still has challenges but that has much less bloodshed is absolutely possible, and it starts in our hearts today with this conversation. You are loved you are supported, and you are on the right path. Even at times when it seems like, you are not, you are, and the deeper you can choose to connect with God, or higher power, or the universe, or whatever nomenclature you like to put on the very thing that created you, the very thing that when you hold your children or you hug your friends, or you put your hand on your own heart that feeling of love you have that awareness of love, that is God and God is love, and God has a plan for all of and so let us meditate or pray or just take space right now for a deep breath, and a moment for all the loss and the tragedy in the Middle East, and know that we can begin the healing here many many miles away in our own hearts by asking ourselves this powerful question: God, what do I need to learn and how can I be most humble to learn it? From that question, we start to unravel the war in ourselves, and eventually over time with compassion, and effort, and love, and showing day after day, I do trust in my heart that the war will unravel when we choose to turn and look inside of ourselves. That is my wish for both of us, for all of us, so take that with you as you're going into your life and make sure that you enjoy this podcast. You share it with somebody that you care about who may be struggling with some of these concepts and if you're looking for a deeper spiritual practice, it begins with the way that you breathe.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 593 What are the best tools to optimize your brain and body?

"The way that nootropics work is they affect neurochemicals that are available in your gut: serotonin, adrenaline, norepinephrine, and dopamine. They activate certain neurochemical processes in the brain and they also provide the raw products so that your brain can create the neurochemicals necessary. They also support neurogenesis which is the blooming and creation of new neurons." - Mark Effinger 10% Off Nootopia UNLOCK YOUR BRAIN'S Maximum Focus, Concentration + Creativity 10% off with code "JOSH10" Try Josh‘s favorite Nootopia product: Zamner Juice! “Zamner” Means “Going Beyond the Beyond.” • Designed to Sustainably Stimulate Dopamine, Serotonin, and GABA Production • Essential Neurotransmitters for a Positive Mood • Feel Almost Immediate Raise of Mental Well-Being and Outright Euphoria • Be More Outgoing, Confident, and Better with Words in Social Situations • Powerful at Boosting Good Mood Save 10% off of your Zamner Juice order with "JOSH10" In This Episode, Mark Effinger Uncovers: [01:30] Allow Hardship to Empower You Mark Effinger Nootopia - 10% off with code: "JOSH10" 497 Mark Effinger | Brain + Mood Optimization: Become Unstoppable With Nootropics The benefits of nootropic supplements.

The Ultimate Nutrition Bible: Easily Create the Perfect Diet that Fits Your Lifestyle, Goals, and Genetics by Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Chronic Stress "It's almost like we're carrying around IVs and every few seconds there's a little drip of stress. Our ancestors had stress but it wasn't like ours. We are in chronic stress all the time. And because it doesn't necessarily hit instantaneously, meaning the buildup of these toxins is happening but you don't notice when it starts happening. When it suddenly builds up to the point where you have massive brain fog." - Mark Effinger Surplus in Life "Once you start finding that extra 10, 20, 30, or 50% of available surplus in your life, the things that will start showing up that allow you to pause and reflect, and if you internalize them and say "what does that thing mean to me?" I guarantee you will find some event, person, possibility, or opportunity that will become the catalyst for the biggest future." - Mark Effinger Nootropics: The Bridge to Greater Cognitive Capacity "Nootropics can be a bridge to psychedelics. It isn't the euphoria necessarily.It isn't the out-of-body experience. It's not the loss of ego. But it is a bridge to more cognitive bandwidth, more capacity to deal with cognitive load, more opportunity to laterally think, to be creative, to explore some of the things instead of that shrinking in of ourself." - Mark Effinger Links From Today's Show  Mark Effinger Nootopia - 10% off with code: "JOSH10" 497 Mark Effinger | Brain + Mood Optimization: Become Unstoppable With Nootropics Nootropics as Cognitive Enhancers: Types, Dosage and Side Effects of Smart Drugs Collagenius - 10% off with code "JOSH10" Elon Musk My First Million Podcast The Top 5 Neurotransmitters from a Clinical Neurologist's Perspective Charlie Rose Bryan Johnson Clean Fifteen David Goggins Maria Bamford David Sinclair The Last of Us 482 Dave Asprey | Advanced Biohacking For Body Mind & Spirit: How To Train A Healthy Brain, Boost Your Flow State + Remove False Beliefs The Ultimate Nutrition Bible: Easily Create the Perfect Diet that Fits Your Lifestyle, Goals, and Genetics by Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” SiPhox - 10% off with code "JOSH" Holy Hydrogen - $100 off with code "JOSH" SinuSonic - 15% off with "JOSH15" Organifi - 20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' QI-Shield EMF Device - 20% off with the code "JOSH" SEED Synbiotic - 30% off with the code "JOSHTRENT" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" SimplyO3 - 10% off with code "JOSH10" Kineon - 10% off with code "JOSH10" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Adapt Naturals - 15% off with code "WELLNESSFORCE" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Cured Nutrition CBD - 20% off with the code "WELLNESS FORCE" PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" LiftMode - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" MitoZen - 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - $25 off with the code "JOSH25" BiOptimizers - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" ION - 15% off with the code ‘JOSH15' Feel Free from Botanic Tonics - $40 off with the code "WELLNESS40" Essential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATERS - 33% off your first order with the code "JOSH33" Earth Runners Shoes - 10% off with code "JOSH10" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Drink LMNT - Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community Limited Edition: Gold Pumpkin Spice from Organifi Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Fall treat is here!

Have you ever noticed that people say things like, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, or they're just like their mother, they're just like their father." Now, why is that? Today, we're going to talk about emotional epigenetics, which quite frankly, I think it's something that I made up. I don't find it on any DuckDuckGo, Google searches, or Brave, it's just not out there, and if it is out there, please send me an email admin@wellnessforce.com.

By the end of this Solocast, you are going to understand what epigenetics are, what gene expression happens through emotional trauma, capital T, lower-case T trauma, and why parents' emotional trauma may change, that science is showing their children's biology, literally, the biology. Think of it as the software, which is the trauma, can actually alter the hardware, which is our brain, our synapses, and so much more. So let's dig in. Here's a story that I can share with you to understand this concept of emotional epigenetics and why I believe it's the missing link in true holistic circular complete medicine today. Epigenetics is a rapidly emerging field of science that has massive implications on how we address our health and the health of our future children. The word literally means on top of the genes, and that pretty much describes the epigenetics role in the body. Look, all of us have DNA. Almost every cell in our body contains all of our DNA and all the genes that make us up. It's the fabric of who you are. This is known as the genome. But look, we're not just made of one cell. Our brains do many different things from those in our heart, for example, who behave differently than the cells in our toenails or our skin. If all of our cells have the same info, why is it that they do such different things? Well, this is where epigenetics comes in. It's basically a layer like an onion of instruction that sits on top of the DNA and gives it signals to turn off and on, and many other things. You can think of it like an orchestra. When you have a conductor with the symphony. Well, if the DNA is the music, the epigenome is the conductor, it waves its wand, it tells the cells what to do and when, and everybody has an orchestra inside. This is what biochemical individuality is. So while the epigenome doesn't necessarily change our DNA, it is responsible for deciding what genes will be expressed in your body's cells.   [03:30] "Genetics Load the Gun, Behavior Pulls the Trigger" We had Chris Kresser on the podcast, and I'll link that here in the show notes for the Solocast. He said something so profound. He said, "Genetics load the gun and behavior pulls the trigger," and just let that land for a moment. When we look at epigenetics, it's what sits on top of the DNA, on top of the genes. You are not... and I want to share this from my heart to yours, not a victim of what you were born with, what your parents did, or what your parents acted. So in other words, it's not your fault, but it is your loving responsibility. This is where things can get very challenging because if you listen to our episode with Scott Jackson about being at cause. We know that being at cause does not mean that it's your fault. There's a difference there. In the same way that we have this biological adaptation for epigenetics and epigenetic expression, I've been noodling on this for a while now, just try this on, just bear with me. If you receive certain genomic adaptations from your parents, like type 1 diabetes proclivity towards MTHFR, proclivity towards weight gain, proclivity towards sensitivity to sun, or sensitivity to caffeine based on your haplogroups. These are all things to consider from a physiological standpoint. But what about emotionally, what about emotionally, is it possible? Today, I'm going to make a case that it absolutely is. Is it possible that emotional epigenetics are the missing link in what is actually being manifested on a physical level? Here's why I believe this. Not only is the biological adaptation that we go through in life, a combination of our genes and our epigenetics, but also the stress that we incur both in-utero, and also, if you look at the work of Mark Wolynn, I'll link this, we've had him on the podcast twice. He wrote It Didn't Start With You. He's the founder of the Family Constellations, where they talk about past life trauma. So the trauma that happens, capital T, which is like physical sexual abuse, terrible things, lower case T, which is neglect, an unsupportive parent, an avoidant parent, an anxious parent. All of these things stack up. Now they're emotional trauma from parents, from in utero, from past life, maybe even from other dimensions. I mean, look, we're all figuring this out as we go along. We all know that emotional trauma can actually change our biology.   [06:12] Gene Expressions for Generations Studies show that suffering triggers changes in gene expression that last for generations. This is a study I came across that was fascinating. In Zurich, Switzerland, the children living in SOS Children's Village orphanages in Pakistan had a very rough start to life. Many lost their fathers, which in conservative Pakistani society can effectively mean losing their mothers too. Now, these widows often struggle to find enough work to support their families and may have to give up their children. That's one example. University of Zurich physician and neuroscientist Ali Jawad says that despite the support that these children received, they experience symptoms similar to PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder, including anxiety and depression. Now, this neuroscientist wondered about a potential hidden consequence of these children's experiences. He set up a study with the orphanages to probe the disturbing possibility that the emotional trauma of separation from their parents also triggers subtle biological alterations changes so lasting that the children might even pass them off to their own offspring. If you think about this in utero perspective, your grandmother was born with your mother inside of her, and your mother created you. So if that's the case, and we know now that epigenetic transfer happens on a biological level, then why wouldn't it happen on a psychosomatic level? I think it's so fascinating that people laugh at the idea that behaviors can be contagious. But we know from so many of the people we've had on the podcast that emotional contagion is utterly real. It is palpable. In other words, you're not just the sum of the five people you hang out with the most, you're the sum of all the behaviors of the people you choose to be around. Now, that idea would've been laughed at 15 years ago. But today, the hypothesis that a child's experience and adults' experience might actually alter the cells in behavior of their children that they bring into the world and the grandchildren that come into the world, it's now been accepted across the board.   [08:20] NLP: Neuro Linguistic Programming Look, in animals exposure to stress, cold or high-fat diets definitely triggers metabolic changes in later generations. There are some small studies that have been done on humans exposed to very traumatic conditions. Among them, the children of the Holocaust survivors point to biological and health changes in their children. So look, the implications of this are profound. If our experiences can have consequences that reverberate to our children, then to our children's children. This is a huge argument against everything from smoking to poor diet to toxic mentality. That's really the big one, toxic mentality. People that say things in families like, "Oh, that's just who we are. Oh, you're a Smith. Smiths are alcoholics." I mean, what an absolutely disempowering thing. And by the way, if you look at NLP and the barrier between the conscious and unconscious mind, when you are brought into the world zero through seven, at your seventh year, your brain has a lot of neuroplasticity and essentially your hemispheres have been connected for so long that you are so suggestible when you come into the world and you're so suggestible because all the programming in your brain, it actually unwires as you get older. It creates space for new programs. So how sad is it? Honestly, I'm like my hands on my heart right now. How sad is it that this emotional trauma that is very distinct from physical stress can be passed on to generations? Well, this is what was proven in this study. Let's dig in. In the study to explore how trauma affected generations of mice. Researchers stressed the mother mice, their little pups then exhibited both molecular and behavioral changes, such as taking more risks on an elevated maze. This is the key. These changes, they persisted for up to five generations, five generations. That's 3 to 500 years, you all. So the mother separated from the pups, and traumatized, the mother would ignore the offspring. The three-month-old male offspring made it with traumatized females. The offspring showed epigenetic and behavioral changes... this is the key, without having experienced the trauma, and that breeding carried out for six generations. I mean, look, if you're a scientific person, this study should be all that you need to know about emotional epigenetics. Why the trauma that we experience before we're even born while we're in utero and also in the first seven years of our lives and more, it's almost like we're all connected. It's almost like everything is all connected.   [11:04] Taking Emotional Inventory So here's the case that I'm making to you today, and I'm curious how you feel about this. If you can take a true emotional inventory of all the things that have happened for you in this lifetime that your soul chose to experience in quite a perfection, by the way, otherwise it wouldn't be experienced. Can you, number one, be at cause for the things that have happened for you in life? I'm not saying it's your fault. I know that terrible things happen, and I know that right now, maybe it's palpable for you. Maybe in your arms or your body and your stomach and your heart, maybe you feel like, "Fuck you, Josh. What are you even talking about? You think that me being raped, that me being abused, that me being hurt, that me being neglected, you think it's my fault?" No, that's not what I'm saying, my friend. What I'm saying is it's not your fault. It's not your fault. I think of that scene in Good Will Hunting, when Robin Williams was hugging his patient, Goodwill Hunting, and he said, it's not your fault over and over and over again, and finally Will just broke down crying. It's one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen in a movie. You have to watch Goodwill Hunting. But it points to exactly what I'm talking about, because what I'm talking about is it is not your fault, but it is your responsibility. You can either be at effect or you can be at cause. So how do we unpack this in a way that truly provides a solution? Well, here we go. Number one, you must take an emotional inventory. I've talked about this in the Solocast on hypervigilance. You can go through that entire process because I want to move forward here with us today. Go to joshtrent.com/490. That's going to be the starting point for this emotional inventory process, which by the way, you know that if you experience hypervigilance, where if you ever feel like you're a junkyard dog and everything's fine. So why are you so stressed out and what's going on? This is where you start. You start with the emotional inventory, and I can speak from my own personal experience. To this day, at 42 years old, I still have an awareness of my own hypervigilance, the things that trigger me. I'll say that my hypervigilance is an expression of my epigenetics, and really the missing link for me to dive deep into and for all of us to dive deep into, because as above, so below, so below, as above. "You cannot have the tree reach its branches to heaven unless its roots touch hell," Carl Young. So what I'm saying here is if the missing link or the bridge between what appears for us, what manifests physically, cancer disease, rheumatoid arthritis, CHD, weight gain, liver issues, all these things, if they are a manifestation, and Chinese and Western medicine, show us that they are... If what we experience physically is a manifestation of what we are experiencing emotionally, energy in motion, then today, I know I've planted a seed in your garden that allows you to see the truth around if epigenetics express themselves physically because of what the cells were told by our parents' grandparents in utero and outside dimensions, then you know that after this podcast, you can see that the emotional energy that we experience as human beings, emotionally, these things get transferred too.   [14:28] Healing Addiction I think this is really something that is worth a deeper look on your own. It's going to be in the book that I write next year. It's going to be in many of the upcoming podcasts that we do. Emotional epigenetics, I believe is the missing link in holistic medicine. In holistic medicine, there is nutrition, breathing, water, thoughts, beliefs. Many of the ways that Paul Chek, Dr. Michael Ruscio, a lot of the people that we've had on the show who are experts in their field, they all approach these basic fundamental human behaviors. But what I love about Paul's work and what I love about my own work, too, is understanding what creates energy and motion. What I believe creates energy and motion and is the true missing link here is, the curiosity about discovering why energy is dysregulated, why energy is dysregulated. This is a part of this podcast that I really want you to feel before we say goodbye, and this is what you can take to the bank. If you are experiencing energy and you try to suppress or resist that energy, a part of your heart and soul knows that it always comes out sideways. In other words, why do alcoholics, drug addicts, porn addicts, shopping addicts, work addicts, why is addiction of any kind even a thing in anyone's life? It's because the opposite of addiction is connection. If you are connected to the energy that you're experiencing in your body, and you are courageously able to open up to that energy, to learn from that energy, to learn from the pain teacher, and to learn from the things that you are experiencing in a perfect way, otherwise they wouldn't be happening, then guess what? The more you lean into your emotional experience, the greater health, the greater wellness you will have, you will be. Period, end of story, full stop, new paragraph. This is it. Now, obviously, that is a sensitive issue because the moment that a human being starts to dig into their emotional inventory, starts to actually feel what they feel, starts to actually understand what the pain teacher, what these emotions are trying to tell them, well, then hypervigilance, the subconscious strategy that slowly kills us, this is what we talked about in the podcast, joshtrent.com/490. In that podcast, I go into depth about what hypervigilance is trying to tell us, but really what hypervigilance is, it's epigenetic expression of trauma; of trauma from an emotional standpoint that is trying to be let go of. It's always been said in many circles, what's coming is going, but what's coming that's blocked, never goes. So if that's the truth and there's something in your life, my life, all of our lives that is freaking asking for permission, it's asking for permission to be let go of, this is the ultimate question today, and this is what you can take and put in the bank as well. Can I cultivate the courage to take the emotional inventory, to feel the feelings I'm feeling, and to be honest with the challenge of my life? Can I be honest with the challenge of my life? Look, there's no shame if the answer to some of those questions was no. There was a major part of my life that was ruled by pornography for so long, and I think that these synapses that are wired, they do float away. They do uncouple. But in full transparency, I still have random thoughts of porn throughout the day. Do I act on them? No, I don't act on them because they don't hold the charge anymore because I've had the deeper work and the commitment to this deeper work be an everyday part of my life. Now, if you ask my partner, Carrie Michelle, she might be like, "God, can we just have one day where we're not working on ourselves?" My answer is like, "No, we can't," because every day is an opportunity. Every day is an opportunity to work on thyself, and that is my wish for you today.   [18:35] Join our Wellness Community: M21 and Breathwork Guide We've covered emotional epigenetics.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Locus Coeruleus: The Blue Spot "Locus coeruleus is the point of control master system to the entire system in the brain. We store the short-term memory. If we don't transfer the short-term memory to our upper cortex and integrate it, then we can't make sense of what's happening in the now as it relates to what's happened in the past to formulate in context our life, our mission, and our relationships." - Dr. John Lieurance Melatonin: The Safest Molecule "I would challenge anybody to bring me a molecule that has more testing showing safety than melatonin. There isn't. Every cell in your body makes it. We need melatonin to survive." - Dr. John Lieurance Dura Mater "The cranium is made up of separate bones which come together in unique ways to facilitate a motion called cranial rhythm. But there's a connective tissue layer just inside of the bones called the dura mater (tough mother). It's got 2000 pounds per square inch of tensile strength. It's very, very durable. And what happens when mothers are overly protective? The kid doesn't get to explore the environment and doesn't learn. The same thing happens with the neurological system when you have this bound connective tissue. It disrupts the flexibility, but it also causes the skull to be contracted and pulled into a collapsed position." - Dr. John Lieurance Live Life Well from Sunrise to Sunset Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Superfoods brand, ORGANIFI, including their Sunrise to Sunset Bundle and their Women's Power Stack that includes HARMONY + GLOW for true hormonal balance and great health radiating through your beautiful skin.

"We have the challenge of our food just not being as nutritious as it used to be because of declining soil quality. We'd have to eat 8 oranges today to get the same level of nutrition that our grandparents got from just eating 1 orange." - Chris Kresser 15% Off Adapt Naturals 15% off with code "WELLNESSFORCE" Embark on a transformative journey with regenerative supplements, designed to tackle a range of health issues at the root — from easing stress to clearing brain fog.

[11:00] Dysfunctional Health Insurance Model How functional medicine is individualized. Why functional medicine is not covered by insurance. Conventional doctors only get 5 minutes per patient.

Sometimes 20X, 40X, 50X difference between the amount of nutrients in the liver and other very nutrient dense foods. Native Americans used to throw muscle meats to the dogs and just eat the heart and the liver and the organs themselves." - Chris Kresser Big Changes = A Series of Small Changes "Big changes are often the result of a series of many small changes. We tend to think that in order to make progress, we have to do these big heroic interventions. And I think this is just part of our American mentality - no pain, no gain." - Chris Kresser Intestinal Permeability "If you have an autoimmune disease, it's almost certain that you also have a leaky gut or intestinal permeability. Intestinal permeability is a precondition of developing autoimmunity. And some of the recent statistics suggest that up to 1 in 6 people now have an autoimmune condition." - Chris Kresser Links From Today's Show  Adapt Naturals - 15% off with code "WELLNESSFORCE" Chris Kresser 140 Unconventional Medicine – Chris Kresser Unconventional Medicine: Join the Revolution to Reinvent Healthcare, Reverse Chronic Disease, and Create a Practice You Love by Chris Kresser How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy! by Paul Chek 492 Robb Wolf | Mental Health Sovereignty: How To Make Your Mind Wise + Strong Amidst Chaos Dr. Dale Bredessen Alessio Fasano 408 Dr. Michael Ruscio | Hypothyroidism, Thyroid Symptoms, & The Truth About Hypothyroid Ty Beal 183 Dr. Kyra Bobinet | Living A Well Designed Life: 10 Lessons In Brain Science Limited Edition: Gold Pumpkin Spice from Organifi Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Fall treat is here!

Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host and Wellness Force Media CEO, Josh Trent, shares how to identify and get rid of self-sabotage. In this solocast, you will learn: How self-sabotage unconsciously hinders our success. Why wounded ego is the reason why we self-sabotage. The disconnect between what we want and how we show up in our life. How we act out unconsciously what we see from our parents until we heal. The way intimate relationships can drive low insecure attachment style, self-worth, fear of getting heartbroken, and fear of commitment. Cognitive dissonance: Holding two conflicting ideas at the same time, one being conscious and the other one unconscious. How self-sabotage leads to chronic struggles. Procrastination and perfectionism: Trauma response and defense mechanism. How breathing and being still stops self-sabotage, and why we need the courage to turn toward the root of the repeated cycle. What is our self-sabotage wanting to teach us? Limited Edition: Gold Pumpkin Spice from Organifi Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Fall treat is here!

Whether you're hearing this live on the day it's published or years from now, it still has the same weight and the capacity to uplevel and change your life. That is my promise that by the end of this solocast, I'm going to give you an actionable guide, as well as some science and spirituality behind self-sabotage, why we do it, and how we stop the cycle. How do we unhinge from the very thing that we know is causing us pain but we just aren't aware of what the root of that thing actually is? Well, it may seem shocking some people undermined their own good intentions and long-term success goals because self-sabotage occurs in the shadows when people hinder their own success, and take destructive steps without actually knowing it. Maybe some deeper part of them knows it because their harmful behavior shows up as the results of their lives with negative impacts in nearly every part of their existence, including money, relationships, career health... You name it. Self-sabotage shows up in so many deleterious ways.   [01:15] Unconscious Destructive Behaviour So first, let's go over why people self-sabotage. People, unconsciously block their progress for so many different types of reasons. They may consciously or unconsciously commit these acts of self-sabotage and the causes range from childhood issues, epigenetics, emotional epigenetics, prior relationships, and heartbreak essentially all the ways that the ego that is wounded tries to stay safe. Other reasons for this destructive behavior stems from low self-esteem, or a sense of not being good enough and coping with cognitive dissonance, which I'll go into in a moment. So if we know what we want and we know what we don't want, then why is there a disconnect between our embodiment of how we show up in the world, and the results of our life? In other words, if we know what we don't want and what we do want then why do we continue to receive what we don't? Well, I will share with you that people who self-sabotage may be aware of their actions, for example, somebody who is overweight and on a diet might consciously sabotage their efforts by eating a whole chocolate cake or staying up till 4 AM, and then eating a whole pizza. Or they might act from an unconscious place where they miss a work deadline which on the surface it seems like they were running late, but the truth is they are afraid of failure, so the human being self-sabotage is by unconsciously missing the due date and bypasses their goal to advance in the company. Difficult childhood growing up in a dysfunctional family can contribute towards a proclivity towards self-sabotage. We act out unconsciously what we see from our parents so without a secure attachment style you might have an ambivalent or vacillation or avoidant attachment style. It's because our earliest engagement and lessons from our parents and caregivers drastically impacted how we connect to ourselves and others. Take an inventory right now, take a deep breath. There's something that you wanted from the solocast and this is the core of how you get it. Question: Did your parents tell you growing up that you'll never amount to much or that you're not good enough or did you have people in your life when you were growing up especially ages 3 through 7, but even 7 through 18, those are the very formative years where neuroplasticity and neurogenesis are in full speed from a brain perspective. In childhood, we are delicate like a rose and require water, sunlight, and nourishment, and if we don't get that emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally, then unconsciously, we will act out the exact situations in childhood from an unconscious space until they get healed.   [04:32] Relationships And Self Sabotage Here's your first action step: take an emotional inventory. I've talked about this in-depth on the Hypervigilance Solocast, which you can access at JoshTrent.com/490, and also the Emotional Epigenetics Solocast a JoshTrent.com/499 these are two huge scaffoldings that will help you understand this podcast and give you more context on what I am teaching today. Another core root of self-sabotage has been difficult relationships. For example, if your ex-partner consistently put you down, you still might feel bruised or broken in this way. Based on a recent scientific study on self-sabotage from Cambridge University, psychologists who specialized in intimate relationships in Australia identified the main issues for the recurrence of self-sabotage in romantic relationships. The reasons included insecure attachment style, low self-worth, the fear of having their heart broken, fear of commitment, unhealthy, toxic beliefs about relationships, they learn from their parents and society, and coping problems when it relates to matters of the heart. And, lastly, at the root is cognitive dissonance or the mental discomfort that a human being may have when they hold two conflicting ideas at the same time. Humans are pleasure-seeking, and pain-avoidant creatures, who like to have consistency between their beliefs and actions. As an example, if you marry someone you love, but you come from a dysfunctional family where your dad left and your mother went from one abusive stepfather or boyfriend to another… You unconsciously, don't believe in a stable, loving marriage yet continue to plan the wedding and send invitations. Here's another example related to work when it comes to cognitive dissonance. You are about to land a huge client and earn the most money you've ever earned but rather than do what it takes to close the deal you hold yourself back because you don't feel worthy. You might even get drunk the night before or miss the meeting with the potential client completely, and rather than of had to take action to literally shoot yourself in the foot, because on a deep level, you don't feel worthy. Self-sabotage leads to chronic struggles with sex, pornography, drugs, food, alcohol, gambling, shopping, workaholism, and even self-injury. This destructive behavior has topical roots to exactly what we will talk about next.   [08:31] Procrastination + Perfectionism Now that we've gone over the science of self-sabotage, let's talk about procrastination and perfectionism, which are really equally deleterious and equally challenging to hold. It has been said that perfectionism is really just a trauma response. A great resource for this is if you head over to JoshTrent.com/461, where I can quote Dr. Wendy Myers: "For many people, perfectionism is a response to trauma. It's not that you just want to do everything perfectly. It's a defense mechanism we create, which can lead to a negative mindset and a constant inner critic." Holding oneself to an impossible standard causes delays in setbacks. Well, it seems like such a positive thing to aim for things to go as planned without any problems, perfectionism is really a belief that if you're seen as imperfect, then you won't be loved. And that's at the bottom of it for me and for all of us. Then there's procrastination, procrastination is a way you show others you're never ready and put off taking your time and being mindful until the last second so you can get that huge rush of energy because really you don't trust yourself to do it without a state of stress. I can see from my own journey with procrastination. It really came from me not feeling that I could handle at all without the stress hormones that drove me to push me beyond my beliefs, and it wasn't until I got down to the core beliefs that if I didn't make as much money as my father than I wouldn't be loved or if I didn't look a certain way physically, then I wouldn't be excepted or sexually attractive all of these things… They lead to procrastination because it is the unconscious projection of the self into the conscious action. [10:38] How To Stop The Self-Sabotage Cycle Now let's break down the spirituality. Whether you believe in past life regression or epigenetic emotional transfer, where five generations of mice have been proven in scientific studies to exhibit trauma-based behavior, you have to realize that in this lifetime there is so much more than you see. So your next action step when it comes to a spiritual inventory of why you self-sabotage, and how to stop the cycle is to simply breathe and be still. You heard that right, breathe and be still. You're with me right now for a reason otherwise you would not be hearing my voice and so I'd like you to take three deep breaths with me. Now, after these three deep breaths, put your hand on your body where you feel the most pressure or tension, or discomfort. Maybe it's your hips, your glutes, your stomach, your throat, your forehead, your shoulders... Wherever you feel the most tension, go there right now and do three more deep breaths. Notice, the voice that I speaking to you is the same voice that is inside of you because you and I all come from the same place, the same creator of the same omnipresent, loving energy that has created all things and always has been. Let go of any dogmatism, religious training, spiritual or amygdala hijacking from the media, and just be with me right now take three more deep breaths. Notice, the only way you can stop a cycle from repeating is to have the courage to turn towards where the cycle comes from in the first place. And when it comes to spiritual inventory, the first place you must begin is at the altar of humility and forgiveness. Yes, people can treat self-sabotage by examining the root causes and stopping procrastination and looking at the bigger picture, and potentially even letting go of perfectionism as a coping mechanism for trauma. But the deeper more spiritual questions, you can ask right now in the stillness with your hand on your heart and the breath in your lungs is this. What is my self-sabotage wanting to teach me? (You may sit with this for moments or hours.) Is this feeling familiar? Have I felt this feeling before and can I go to the very first time I ever felt this feeling, right now? Can I trust myself to go to the very first time I ever felt this feeling right now? This memory, this event that you have been carrying for so long is asking for forgiveness and possibly asking for rest. In order to rest, you must lay something down, you must let go. What is it that you must let go of, and how can you ask the creator to give you the courage to let it go? And now we are at the end of our time together but we will return next week for another series of emotional intelligence to support you on your path And as we say goodbye notice you are loved you are supported, and with the right questions in the right stillness you can hear the voice of God, the creator, and you will always be on the right path.   Links From Today's Show  JoshTrent.com/490 JoshTrent.com/499 JoshTrent.com/461 Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Wellness + Wisdom Approved Products Kineon - Save 10% with code "JOSH10" SiPhox - Save 10% with code "JOSH" Holy Hydrogen - Save $100 with code "JOSH" SinuSonic - Use code "JOSH15" for 15% off Tru Kava - Use code "JOSH20" for 20% off MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Adapt Naturals - Save 15% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” MitoZen – 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Organifi –20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" QI-Shield EMF Device- 20% off with the code "JOSH" SEED Synbiotic - 30% off with the code "JOSHTRENT" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Cured Nutrition CBD - 20% off with the code "WELLNESS FORCE" LiftMode - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Paleovalley – 15% off with the link only NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - $25 off with the code "JOSH25" BiOptimizers - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" ION - 15% off with the code ‘JOSH1KS' Feel Free from Botanic Tonics - $40 off with the code "WELLNESS40" Essential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATERS - 33% off your first order with the code "JOSH33" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Earth Runner Shoes - Save 10% with code "JOSH10"

"If you've got a fire in your kitchen and the house is burning down, you have inflammation and pain in your joints. The pain is the signal, the sound coming from that fire alarm. The fire in the kitchen is the inflammation. And what we see people doing with with opiates and anti-inflammatory drugs, is taking the batteries out of the fire alarm so that they can't hear this anymore but the fire's still going." - Forrest Smith 10% Off Kineon Red light therapy for fast relief from joint pain and inflammation 10% Off with code "JOSH10" The MOVE+ Pro is a safe, non-invasive, enhanced light therapy device.

The 50% that had the ACL tears had a greater than 50% increase in severe cardiovascular disease. You have increased chronic inflammation in that joint almost forever after that traumatic tissue damage that you have with the injury and then the surgery. And it impacts and impairs your cardiovascular endothelial tissue." - Forrest Smith Healthcare Is Actually Semi-Care "The most profitable way to run a pharmaceutical company is to keep people in a state of semi-health, provide them some benefits, but never get them well. The pharmaceutical industry has spent billions of dollars developing different solutions that would keep people in that most profitable role of the commercialization, which is in semi-health and semi-sickness. That's the most valuable customer to have. What's not a valuable customer to have is somebody that you can provide preventative measures to." - Forrest Smith Inflammation Impacts Your Entire Body "When you measure the temperature of the muscle above the unhealthy joint, it's 1 to 2 degrees colder than the one above the healthy joint. That's severely impacting the amount of oxygen and blood delivery to that tissue. Local inflammation impacts degrading tissue, tearing down your cartilage, making you have worse outcomes from a mobility standpoint. And then you go regional and you look at the muscle tissue and it's getting worse blood delivery, worse oxygen delivery. And you go systemic and you look at endothelial cardiovascular tissue and the sheer strength is dropping. This is something that's impacting you across all of these different parts of your body." - Forrest Smith Movement + Mental Health "When you can't or don't move, your joints just get worse and worse. And it's extremely highly correlated to depression, increased chronic anxiety, and a lot of neurological impacts because of lack of movement." - Forrest Smith Photobiomodulation Research Photobiomodulation (PBM) research - a comprehensive database Photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy The Efficacy of Photobiomodulation Therapy in Improving Tissue Resilience and Healing of Radiation Skin Damage Photobiomodulation—Underlying Mechanism and Clinical Applications Is It Time to Consider Photobiomodulation As a Drug Equivalent?
