Michael Dubrovsky | Healthspan Revolution: Game-Changing At-Home Biomarker Blood Testing For Wellness + Longevity (SiPhox)
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 581 Is biomarker blood testing the future of real healthcare? Michael Dubrovsky, co-founder of SiPhox, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast, episode 581, to reveal how at-home biomarker blood testing is revolutionizing people's health journey, why the healthcare system should adopt a preventative approach, and how you can combine blood testing with wearables for best results. "We went after at-home blood testing to put a device in every home in America and make it possible for people to have easy access to this rather than making blood testing reactive, where "I have terrible symptoms, now I'm going to get a bunch of blood work." SiPhox is making it proactive so that people are getting much more blood tests and that's the cornerstone of the whole medical journey." - Michael Dubrovsky 15% Off SiPhox The SiPhox Health at-home test kit measures 17 blood biomarkers of inflammation, hormonal health, metabolic fitness, and cardiovascular health. 15% off with code "JOSH" Track how your body responds to your lifestyle, diet, and supplements to reach your health goals faster.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Biomarker Blood Testing "The way we view biomarker blood testing is like this panel is the base panel, you should be getting it frequently. We have add ons that allow you to look deeper at certain things. And that's how most engineers will debug a system, right? You do something broad and simple and you kind of see what's going on here and these are all biomarkers that are really well studied, very commonly if something's out of the range, and then we go deeper down a particular rabbit hole." - Michael Dubrovsky Life Expectancy in the U.S. "Life expectancy is not increasing while cost is increasing in the standard medical system and that is not true in Europe. If you look at all the European countries, everybody's life expectancy is increasing and the cost is not increasing that much. America is just obviously broken. We don't have a very strong opinion of how to fix it beside you need more data and you need more control over the situation." - Michael Dubrovsky The Evolution of the Medical System "Medicine is getting better but it's too expensive for most people to get that kind of scrutiny. Having more data makes it easier. If you give a doctor lots of data, such as 5 years of blood tests, the chances that they're going to give you an answer quickly is very high." - Michael Dubrovsky Limited Edition: Gold Pumpkin Spice from Organifi Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Fall treat is here!

It happens unconsciously, without us even realizing it. But what exactly is emotional contagion? How does it manifest itself in our behavior, relationships, and everyday life? Let's explore emotional contagion from a seduction perspective as well as look at its effects on unhealthy and healthy empathy as well as the biology of belief. What is Emotional Contagion? First off, let’s define emotional contagion in simple terms: It’s when we catch or “absorb” another person's emotions just by being around them or interacting with them. We don't actually "feel" their embodied emotions like they do but instead, we become influenced by their emotional state so that our own behaviors start to adapt to fit theirs. This type of influence is sometimes referred to as "social proof." Social Proof is a psychological phenomenon where a person mirrors the behaviors of others in an attempt to connect and fit in. In essence, it’s the notion that, since others are doing it, I should be doing it, too. When one person experiences an emotion such as fear or joy, those feelings spread quickly throughout the group in which they are present. It is an incredibly powerful phenomenon that has a deep impact on our behavior, relationships, and everyday life. Where Does Empathy Come In? So, empathy is an emotional capacity that allows us to understand and share the feelings of others. It is a powerful ability that can be used for good or ill, and it has been studied extensively by psychologists in both its positive and negative forms. Empathy enables us to more deeply connect with people, helping us form stronger relationships and build emotional bonds with those around us. By understanding empathy better, we can use it to create a healthier environment for all. Empathy without borders however is a prime candidate for emotional contagion; it's where people can accidentally label themselves as an HSP (highly sensitive person) when really, they just have poor emotional awareness and boundaries against emotional contagion. The Science of Seduction Ok, let's dive into seduction - one way to think about emotional contagion is through the lens of seduction. The science of seduction is an intriguing and complex subject that has been studied extensively by psychologists in both its positive and negative forms. It involves understanding emotional contagion, emotional intelligence, and the power of emotions to influence relationships. By understanding the science of seduction on a deeper level, we can use it to create a healthier environment for ourselves and our loved ones and also dodge bad relationship bullets! Seduction, it's not always a bad thing. Sometimes it can be really good but it is a complex and often misunderstood art. Understanding healthy seduction can help us create healthier environments for ourselves and our loved ones by enabling us to better connect with authentic people and form trustworthy long-lasting emotional bonds. Emotional contagion is an important part of the science of seduction – it’s when we catch or “absorb” another person's lustful or sexual projections onto us - just by being around them or interacting with them. Seduction can be voluntary or involuntary, just like our breath. Many people enjoy consciously being seduced while, unfortunately, many people who have unhealed wounds, attract unconscious, seduction. Emotional intelligence really helps us here - it helps us understand how our own feelings and boundaries affect those around us so that we can use this knowledge to build stronger relationships with ourselves and others. How do you know if you're being seduced? Seduction can be a powerful tool for emotional connection and relationship building, but it can also be used to manipulate and control people. Dark seduction techniques involve emotional manipulation, coercion, and even emotional abuse in order to get what the perpetrator wants from their target. Protecting yourself from dark seduction requires you to recognize the signs of emotional manipulation, develop healthy boundaries and maintain emotional self-awareness. Emotional Power & Manipulation Recognizing the signs of emotional manipulation is key when it comes to protecting yourself from dark seduction. This could include someone attempting to guilt trip or shame you into doing something they want or trying to make you feel bad about your choices or decisions. It’s important to trust your instincts if something doesn’t feel right – don’t let anyone pressure you into doing anything that makes you uncomfortable or unsafe. Developing healthy boundaries is another way of protecting yourself against dark seduction tactics. Healthy boundaries are necessary for any kind of relationship – romantic, platonic or otherwise – as they help define how we expect others to treat us without allowing them too much control over our lives. Setting limits on other people's behavior helps ensure that we remain in control of ourselves so that no one can take advantage of us. Finally, understanding the power of emotions to influence relationships allows us to effectively manage difficult situations while still maintaining meaningful connections with our peers. With these tools at hand, we can use seduction not only for romantic purposes but also for creating healthier environments where everyone benefits from strong emotional bonds and understanding communication between parties. Gretchen Rubin's model of The Four Tendencies is an incredibly powerful concept that has been used in psychology, relationships, and everyday life. It suggests that our emotional states are contagious, meaning that we can influence the emotional state of those around us simply by being present. This idea has far-reaching implications for understanding how our emotions affect others and for improving empathy and emotional intelligence. We’ve all experienced emotional contagion at one time or another – when we feel the emotions of those around us without realizing it. Again as we've already discussed, emotional contagion occurs when we catch or “absorb” the emotional state of someone else just by being around them or interacting with them. Then, in steps boundaries. Creating Emotional Boundaries Creating emotional boundaries is an important part of healthy relationships, but it can be difficult to know how to set them. The Gottman approach to emotional boundary setting is a powerful tool that can help couples create emotional safety in their relationship and foster greater connection. This approach focuses on understanding each other’s emotional needs, communicating clearly and effectively, taking responsibility for one's own feelings and emotions, and respecting each other’s differences. By using the Gottman approach to emotional boundary setting, couples can cultivate greater trust, intimacy, and understanding in their relationship. The Power of Healthy Empathy Empathy is a powerful emotional capacity that allows us to understand and share the feelings of others, but it can also be used for harm. It is important to understand when empathy has become unhealthy so we can protect our emotional wellbeing and the emotional safety of those around us. Let's discover how to identify when empathy has gone too far and some strategies for creating emotional boundaries in relationships. A prime example of when empathy goes too far is when a 3-year-old boy has been infected by the mind virus of gender dysphoria, either by scrolling on Instagram or seeing it on YouTube from the demonic energies that troll for innocence there. Instead of being a loving parent and letting the boy simply go through a process of maturation into adolescence and adulthood with loving guidance and firm boundaries around the biology of that child, unfortunately, an unhealthy, distorted version of empathy would allow that child to actually begin to think that they are the opposite gender of how they were born, which then would lead to even more serious mental health ramifications down the road which we see playing out in the world at large right now. So in other words, when empathy goes too far a helping hand actually harms someone else or yourself which in this case with gender dysphoria, you can see how this is absolutely tragic. A great podcast to listen to about this is the episode we did with JP Sears you can find that at JoshTrent.com/463 Having empathy is a powerful emotional capacity that allows us to understand and share the feelings of others. It can be used for good or evil, so it's important to learn how to have a healthy version of empathy in order to build strong relationships with those around us and create emotional safety. But when empathy has gone too far? Look no further than how emotional contagion affects our behavior, relationships, and everyday life by understanding the biology of belief. The Biology of Belief The concept of the Biology of Belief is based on the idea that our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us have a powerful effect on our emotional and physical health. It suggests that our beliefs shape our biology by literally changing how our cells and genes are expressed. The power of this concept lies in its potential to improve mental and emotional wellbeing as well as physical health. Our beliefs act like scripts that shape our behavior, emotional states, and the way we experience life. When it comes to emotional contagion, we can use these scripts to create positive emotional states in ourselves and in those around us. Positive emotions lead to increased empathy, emotional intelligence, and emotional safety within relationships. The Biology of Belief suggests that when we change or release old belief patterns, we can create new patterns of behavior which ultimately result in improved emotional and physical health. Our thoughts contain energy which has an influence on both our outer environment and on the inner workings of our body’s cells. Recent scientific studies show that when we make conscious efforts to think positively about ourselves, others, or situations in general – rather than focusing on the negative – we can actually increase levels of dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins (the “happy hormones”) in the brain which help reduce stress levels, improve moods, and promote overall wellbeing. This is also widely known as the science of how thoughts become things otherwise known as psychoneuroimmunology. Biology + Neurochemicals When it comes to emotional contagion, this means that if one person projects positive emotions such as joy or peace onto another person, they could be influencing their neurochemistry by helping them feel relaxed or content. Similarly, if someone projects fearful emotions onto another person they could be creating a more anxious neurochemical state in that person by causing them to feel fear or worry even if there is no immediate danger present. In addition to influencing neurochemistry through emotional contagion, the Biology of Belief also suggests that we can use visualization techniques such as meditation or guided imagery to mentally create positive outcomes for ourselves or those around us by sending out waves of energy into the universe which create opportunities for healing effects both at a physical level and an emotional level. This practice helps us tap into greater self-awareness so we can identify unhelpful thought patterns which may need releasing as well as helpful thought patterns that need reinforcing – ultimately leading to improved mental and emotional wellbeing. Ultimately, understanding how beliefs shape our biology through emotional contagion helps us become more aware of how quickly emotions can spread from one person to another so we can take steps towards cultivating healthier connections with those around us for greater mental wellness. With this knowledge, we are empowered with the ability to make conscious decisions about how best to nourish ourselves emotionally so we can live fuller lives with more meaningful connections with those who matter most! Bruce Lipton’s “Biology of Belief” Bruce Lipton’s “Biology of Belief” is a revolutionary scientific theory that explores the connection between our beliefs, emotional states, and physical health. By exploring this connection, Lipton has created an alternative model for understanding the power of our mindset that profoundly impacts not only our emotional wellbeing but also how our cells and genes are expressed. The Biology of Belief suggests that our thoughts and emotions create energy which is then broadcasted into the world and also plays an essential role in shaping how our cells and genes are expressed. This means that when we think positively about ourselves or certain situations, we can literally change the expression of our cells at a molecular level. To put it simply: If we believe something to be true, it will become true in reality as well because it is given form through our thoughts and emotions. Better Boundaries With Visualization Techniques Moreover, by using visualization techniques such as meditation or guided imagery along with breathwork, we can use these belief systems to literally create positive outcomes for ourselves or those around us by sending out waves of energy into the universe which promote healing on both physical and emotional levels. This practice helps us to access greater self-awareness so we can identify what unhelpful patterns may need releasing as well as helpful ones that need reinforcing to improve mental wellbeing overall. Taking it Home: Self Love FTW At the end of the day, all of the aspects we've explored point towards greater self-awareness and greater self-love through the mechanisms or mediums of intuition, healthy, emotional boundaries, and specific practices you can do every single day that will strengthen your spiritual, emotional, and mental connection to the truth. And not just the objective truth, but the truth that tends to guide all of us in this world, and that is our subjective truth.

It affects your sleep and your cognitive ability. We've done studies on cognition and it impairs your cognition, your mood, you get depressed or anxious." - Dr. Rodney Schlosser Avoid Environments That Trigger Sinus Issues "Dairy's probably the number one thing I hear about that creates thick mucus, thick flam, throat clearing... If you can avoid environments that are going to cause, whether you're allergic or not, triggers than do that. Stay in a healthy clean environment. Rinse your nose out with saline and flush things out." - Dr. Rodney Schlosser The Negative Effects of Mouth Breathing "Nasal obstruction will force you to become a mouth breather at night. You can get more cavities because now your mouth is all dry. There's something called the adenoid face. Kids have big adenoids in the back with their tonsils and if it obstructs the nose and they become a mouth breather, it actually changes the shape of their face." - Dr. Rodney Schlosser Links From Today's Show SinuSonic - Use code "JOSH15" for 15% off Dr. Rodney Schlosser David Lewis Dr. Richard Bogan A Decongestant in Many Cold Medicines Is Ineffective Dr. Zachary Soler Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT) Dr. Stephen Porges Why Being a "Mouth-Breather" Is Bad For You w/James Nestor BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Wellness + Wisdom Approved Products MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" 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 Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Dr. Rodney Schlosser Rodney J.

If you are interested in getting some wisdom and guidance today, directly from me, stick around if you are looking for a featured guest interview check out our Tuesday podcast episodes, over 500 of them. But no matter what you do, make sure that you join us at the M21 three-week guided wellness journey over at JoshTrent.com/M21. This is where you will get six backed practices, one of them, including breath, work, and another one, including specialized movement and journaling practices to amplify and essentially reset and renew your commitment to your own self-love and your own wellness. I created this guide from over 500 podcasts and it's yours for free, no strings attached just my gift to you over at JoshTrent.com/M21. [01:20] Why Wellness Is A Pentagon In today's solocast we're talking about the wellness pentagon, the five critical factors to build your best life, and these critical factors truly are critical I mean out of all the things that you could do and be, and say in the world, these in my opinion, and in my own 20+ years of being in this wellness world are the absolute most important things. You can focus on every day, one breath, one inch at a time to have the best life you could ever imagine. And my life is the result of that so if you're wondering why should you listen to me well take a look at the website and see what I've been creating since 2015 after I left the fitness industry and dove heart and soul into wellness and podcasting. Multiple six figures of income and a family and a thriving business and all my results speak for themselves. So if you ever want to know if you should listen to someone, look at the life they're living and ask yourself: "Do I want all or some of their life?" If you yourself are a coach or trainer or therapist, or anyone at all that either wants different results in your life or wants to love yourself more deeply or be of service to your clients and your customers this podcast has the potential to change your life. I don't say that lightly this is legit wisdom from over 20+ years of me flailing forward getting bloody and learning sometimes not the easy way, but always coming out with more wisdom than before so let's begin. By the end of this podcast, you'll be left with the details and gold about the mental physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial aspects of what I call the wellness pentagon, which in my experience is the only thing and will be the only thing you ever have to focus on to live WELL in a very complicated world. I've made this more simple for you. At the end of each of these five quick yet potent and powerful sections today, I'm going to give you one challenge and one resource that you can take action on as soon as you're done with this podcast. Now, no need to write anything down so if you're driving keep your eyes on the road. If you're walking in the park, which hopefully you are, I hope the sun is shining on your shoulders. No need to write any of this down. You can find everything today over at JoshTrent.com/513. [04:22] Physical Let's start with the physical. It has been said that "as above, so below", and the soul must connect to and live inside the heart and mostly get out of the mind, but yet, the mind and the heart cannot survive without the physical body. It is the foundation it is the being that we inhabit. It is the only thing we all express from, so the physical takes a very important place in the pentagon, which is why I always start with the physical. It is the floor, it is the root, it is the foundation of all things included in your physical wellness. It is your breath, work, hydration, nutrition, movement, digestion, immunity, and anything and everything that relates to motion, respiration, assimilation, and processing. It is where the brain lives. It is where the heart beats. It is where your blood flows. One thing to really pay attention to when it comes to your physical aspect of the pentagon is to make sure every single day that you take 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes to consciously breathe and move your body. Now, I know that seems easy you're probably listening to this and saying "Well duh, of course, I need to move my body, of course." but here's the question: are you doing it? Are you placing it in your calendar to make it a priority to consciously breathe like we do in the Breath + Wellness program or move your body out in the arms of nature? I don't care if it's in your freaking hotel room on a 5 or 10-minute break from work, or if you're wearing a tie or dress shirt. None of this matters. Notice that when it comes to nourishing your physical body, the mind will sometimes tell you that it's "not the right time "but it is always the right time to breathe consciously and move consciously. Otherwise, you will be in the control of your unconscious. And your unconscious always wants to rest, always wants to eat the chocolate cake, always wants to chill and take it easy because that is where it feels safe and it does not have to grow and it does not have to do anything that your heart is directing you towards. We'll talk more about heart intelligence when it comes to the spiritual aspect of your wellness. One quick step that I want you to take today if you take an inventory and you realize that from a physical standpoint, you may be carrying extra weight or you have pain or you're dealing with a health issue or you just don't feel well physically would be to take a breath and just be OK with the fact that you are where you are. Shame will not motivate you, or inspire you from this place only truth and acknowledgment of where you are is what will allow you to pick yourself up because no one's coming to save you. If you're struggling physically, make a time and financial investment to purchase a program, and hire a trainer to start with an external framework of accountability where you have to show up because you've paid for something or you have to show up for a workout or a hike or run or exercise with a friend because you don't want to let them down. Sometimes when it comes to stoking yourself physically, the subconscious mind and the neuroplasticity in the brain are so deep that a human being can believe the story that their physical health is not as important as it truly is, and it is these bullshit stories that create terrible results which make people feel stuck. So from this moment right now, I know you can feel it inside of your heart in your body because that's where the change is coming from that wants to be expressed… Right now, lock it in and make an appointment and invest time and money into moving your physical body every single day, and when you do that, it will create a cascade of momentum that will allow you to continue to do it over and over and over again. As a challenge, you can head over to breathwork.io and use the code "PODCAST30". It's the first time I've ever given this big of a discount but I'm doing it because, by the time you're listening to this, you'll need this inspiration more than ever. So use the code "PODCAST30" to save 30% off your three-week breathwork.io journey where I guide you personally to breathe consciously and to move consciously so that you can start expressing this energy and this wellness that has been inside of you for so long. It's my gift to you. Do it right now and if you don't do it with me, do it with someone you're gonna have to make an investment with someone you may as well make it with me you can trust me, I've been there and I'm there for you right now. That is my promise. As we close this short teaching about the physical aspect of your wellness, take stock of how you feel that is going to be the biggest report card about what needs to be changed when it comes to your physical health. It may seem hard, but that is just your subconscious mind creating a story that it's going to be. Taking a walk for most of us is not hard, touching your toes, doing 30 deep breaths, walking up some stairs instead of the elevator, and taking 5 minutes to do some burpees or push-ups or squats is not hard. It's not. It's just that the stories the subconscious mind has been projecting for decades may be telling you that it is. So to get over the story, take accountability to change your story by changing something that you are accountable to someone or something. Maybe it's money, maybe it's time, maybe it's a friend. This is what makes all the difference. I truly believe this, I used to be 280 pounds. I've been there a great resource for you is the breathwork program that I've talked about you can also go to the website JoshTrent.com and just search for fitness and breathwork on the website - there's tons of content there for you. [11:46] Mental Next is the mental. And this is by far (in order of importance) the second most important thing that you must focus on if you want your physical, spiritual, emotional, and financial wellness to thrive and to be different than how it is today. That's what we all want, isn't it? We all want to reach our potential in all five of these things, but the reason we don't is that we believe stories about why we can't, so let's change that story right here, right now. When it comes to mental health, there are core aspects of the brain, health, cognition, mindfulness, and neuroplasticity that absolutely must be addressed here, and obviously today in this solocast, we are simply identifying and taking a quick inventory with an actionable step for each one today. Obviously, every one of these five sides is a lifetime of work and study but to simplify it because I told you, I would do that, to simplify it every single section in our five sections today will have an inventory identification process, and an actionable step that you can take to get a result right away because results matter results create momentum. In a mental and also emotional inventory, we must identify the stories that we are telling ourselves or the stories that we believe about other people or events or things that are dictating. A quick mental inventory of your belief systems is the only place to start, to start at self-awareness. For example, if you notice that you are quick to judge or quick to anger, it is not just an emotional program that is running. It is a mental program. The only way we can identify that mental program is through increased awareness and I have found that the most powerful tool for increased awareness is to be still. But how do we just choose to be still when we're triggered or when we are at our most mentally stressed? I would argue to say that that's not the best time for you to do it if you're just starting on your journey. If you're a seasoned veteran, maybe that might be the ultimate ninja training for you, but for most of us the best time to be still is first thing in the morning or when you go to bed at night. These are the times when in the morning you can prime your mind we talk about this in the M21 three-week guide that I'm giving to you for free at JoshTrent.com/M21. And the best way to prime your mind is by consciously breathing, followed by bulleting the subconscious mind. Once you have identified the thoughts that you allow yourself to think, the thoughts that you attached to that is in my opinion, the origin of mental health, true mental health comes from true self-awareness. In the bullet journal system that we talk about in the M21 guide you begin by: writing the date of the day the three things you're grateful for the three goals you have for that day the three affirmations and the final question that is the most powerful is who do I get to be today? Who do I get to be today? I know this might sound easy or too simplistic but this is the only way that I have improved my life and created multiple six figures with a woman I love and a family. Do you want one or all of those things? It is my promise to you that the more you do this, the more you bullet, your subconscious mind, the greater mental health you will have, and that mental health will transfer to every other part of your pentagon that is my promise to you. Just a quick note on mental health and psychedelics because it's important. "Just because we can do something, does not mean that we should." The intrusive thoughts we have (not that we are) are designed to keep you safe, in a box, and protected from the risk of freedom and love. The work is about unearthing the old stories, bringing compassion to your scared self, and allowing yourself to feel the old pain and sit with the current fear. Make sure you listen to the entire episode with Scott Jackson titled "Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage." You can find it at JoshTrent.com/481. [16:42] Emotional Next is the emotional. One powerful and very quick way to take an inventory of your emotional state is to do what I like to call the emotional inventory or the EI2 process. A powerful solocast I'm going to link for you is about emotional epigenetics and you can find it at JoshTrent.com/499. This concept of emotional epigenetics is fascinating to me. It's what I'm writing my book on and I think that my life is a byproduct of its expression in me and I know and trust that the way you are with yourself and others has a direct connection to what you have experienced in your life out of the womb, inside the womb, and what you have been imprinted with from your mother, grandparents, great grandparents, going back as far as five generations, or even more. If it is the first time you are hearing this concept about imprinting or epigenetics, then I implore you to go over to JoshTrent.com/499 and listen to the entire solo cast I think it will make a huge impact for you personally with a lot more clarity around how you inherit not just physical characteristics, but also emotional characteristics and ways of being from your lineage. We talk about this concept of "the work "so much and personal development and self-growth but what is it exactly, what is the work? The work is about developing a practice of letting go as an antidote to the wounded self that tirelessly tries to control, and finding the faith and courage to take the risk of opening your heart with your loving, present, available self + partner. The anima and animus are described in Carl Jung's school of analytical psychology as part of his theory of the collective unconscious. Aristotle decided that "Nature abhors a vacuum". Jung described the animus as the unconscious masculine side of a woman, and the anima as the unconscious feminine side of a man, each transcending the personal psyche. Jung's theory states that the anima and animus are the two primary anthropomorphic archetypes of the unconscious mind, as opposed to the theriomorphic and inferior function of the shadow archetypes. He believed they are the abstract symbol sets that formulate the archetype of the self. Once you know how you operate and what you want to operate differently, you can change it but until then you will be repeating over and over again the same triggers, and the same stories that give the same results. If you want new results and I know you do because I have definitely struggled with this concept in my lifetime, I will share with you that the only thing that made a difference was increased awareness and increased inventory. Take the inventory take the emotional inventory over at JoshTrent.com/499. [20:30] Spiritual Spirituality is often incredibly misunderstood. Religion has trained the world to worship something outside of themselves, and I do believe that there are positive aspects of religion but unfortunately, just like any tool religion has been used to help and harm people for millennia. Traditional Christians, Jewish Islam, and many others do not want to face the fact that in the religious texts, there are many phrases and stories that point to God being inside the human. It is easy to pontificate that there is no meeting to anything so what's the point but that is actually the most powerful part of our human existence is that there aren't any meetings of all this, there really aren't. The one take away, and one challenge that I want to offer to your heart and your hands when it comes to spirituality is this: Can you search way deep down inside yourself blow all the layers of conditioning, below all the layers of shame, or judgment, or stories that you've chosen to believe about yourself or others or the world, and can you find a place where there is absolutely no mental chatter and there is only love? Do that tomorrow morning or even tonight. Sit in your stillness with your breath and no distractions and see if you can find that place I'm talking about. RUMI said something like this: "Beyond the field of right and wrong, there is a field. I will meet you there." Do not concern if you don't know what I'm talking about because going on a spiritual journey is not for everyone, it is not for the victims. It is only for the victors because, at the end of the tunnel, you will find something that is so profound, and so loving, that nothing else will matter. You will find God's love. You have to be prepared for the price to be paid to feel and be in the presence and acceptance of God's love because it will not be like anything you ever thought it was, it will only be exactly what it is. Start your journey toward this understanding with our three-part series with my mentor and friend, Paul Chek, and in this three-part series titled All Is God, and you will understand. This three-part series will ripple across the globe as we share one of the most powerful conversations on this podcast to date. Together, we will explore: Some of the most radical and profound wisdom you will ever hear The concepts of relationship and understanding we have of God. The true definition of L.O.V.E [24:00] Financial We saved something very important for last. It is a fact that we have all signed up to be here on planet earth at this time otherwise we wouldn't be here and part of that agreement is that in order to have a life well lived we must have an understanding and mastery of financial intelligence, and be financially well. I fought this for so many years... I would cast judgment and throw shadow at successful people, and label them as evil and mean I actually used to think a thought just like this: "Money causes pain and rich people take advantage of other people all they care about is money..." I have now successfully replaced that story with a new story and the new story is something that emanates from my pelvis, solar plexus, heart, and throat which I know you're gonna feel in my new story. It sounds like this: "Money is a vehicle that through its movement and acquisition gives energy to people and things I love and care about." Notice how I did not say that I love money... Even though I do love money, but really when I say, I love money I just love the freedom and the opportunities that money brings. There are so many "spiritual gurus" out there who will tell you that you have to master your money mindset, and that you have to do all of these things from a spiritual level in order to gain wealth, which is true and is also not true. Which is a true paradox. And life is a paradox so I will share this with you from my experience, and from specifically the episode, I would love for you to listen to Robert Breedlove's podcast with me at JoshTrent.com/442. Now that you've begun this journey of the five sides of your wellness pentagon, I'm curious, what came up for you? Or what came down for you? Did you start to feel upset with me? Inspired by me more connected to me tell me what you feel right to me admin@wellnessforce@gmail.com. I'm sending you so much love and so much wellness from my heart tears until I get to be with you again every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday every single week I'm wishing you love and wellness.

Whenever you drink kava regularly, what we see in populations is people tend to become more introspective, reflective, empathetic, and, across the board in many cases, more intelligent." - Cameron George [spacer height="20px"] What's The Root Cause of Addiction? "Addiction is not the problem. Addiction is your attempt to solve a problem.

You could not have an experience of light or an appreciation or an understanding for it without the contrast of darkness. It's only as light as the dark is dark. If you're going to blame the seemingly "bad" circumstances in your life for bringing about such horror and terror and all of the bad, then you better blame them for the good too. Inside every experience, inside the darkest of the dark, the most traumatic of the traumatic, there is opportunity." - Cameron George Links From Today's Show Cameron George Tru Kava - 20% off Tru Kava with code "JOSH20" Finding Joe Jordan Peterson Michael Pollan 388 Dr. Jud Brewer | Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind American Pain 503 Paul Levy | Wetiko: Break Free From Collective Mass Psychosis The Book of Eli 375 Bizzie Gold: Break Method | Why Instinct And Intuition Are Not The Same (Rewiring The Subconscious) Gabor Maté 538 John Wineland | A New Masculine Paradigm: Leading With Love, Living Your Truth + Healing The World Cameron George on Luke Storey's Podcast Jurassic Park 192 Jason Prall: The Human Longevity Project Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Wellness + Wisdom Approved Products MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" 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 Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Cameron George Cameron George is an acclaimed researcher, writer, and a globally recognized leading authority on Kava.

Millions of Americans and people globally are in the same boat. It can be tough to figure out how to get out of the cycle of debt and poor financial decision-making. But there is hope: become financially educated and sovereign, so you can exit the matrix of financial slavery from a system that has existed for hundreds of years to monetize every aspect of your life. Know that we have all signed up to be here at this time on earth so part of the learning curve of this lifetime is to figure out finances. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here or money wouldn't exist. Quite a philosophical and even esoteric statement, that I just made, however, if you really search within your heart and soul, you can feel that it's true. The truth is that money is whatever you want it to be it could be a source of pain or a source of pleasure, but at the end of the day based on universal laws, money is an energetic reward for the value that you provide to others. It's what others are willing to pay you for, it's what the universe is willing to give to you - depending on three key factors: What do you know, think and feel you're worth? How do you enthusiastically and with love and persuasiveness articulate that worthiness while being of service to others? What value of (goods or services) do you provide in the marketplace that is unique and important enough for others to pay you for? By following some simple steps and making some positive changes in your life, you can start to heal your finances once and for all. Keep reading to learn more... 1. Acknowledge your feelings - it's okay to feel stressed and depressed about your finances 2. Talk to someone who can help - a financial planner, therapist, or even a friend 3. Make a plan - figure out where your money is going and what you can cut back on 4. Take action - make small changes in your spending habits that will make a big difference over time 5. Be patient - healing your finances takes time, but it is possible to get back on track 6. Reward yourself - once you've made progress, treat yourself to something special Acknowledge your feelings - it's okay to feel stressed and depressed about your finances Feeling stressed and depressed about your finances can be a normal reaction to an overwhelming situation. If you’re feeling this way, it’s important to take some time to acknowledge those feelings. Reflect on what might be the cause of your stress and find ways to address it such as implementing more discipline into your financial habits or shifting your mindset about money. Maybe it’s coming up with a plan for living within or below your means or having conversations with loved ones who are able to provide guidance—whatever it may be, taking these steps can help ease the burden of financial worry and put you back on track toward healing your finances for good. Talk to someone who can help - a financial planner, therapist, or even a smart friend! Talking to someone who can help is a key step to peace and healing when it comes to finances. We all need mentors and guides, especially when it comes to something as daunting as our bank accounts. Finding the right person - whether it be a financial planner, therapist, or friend - can help you release stress and create a plan of action. This can be hugely beneficial in giving you the peace of mind and security you are searching for in your finances. So make sure you reach out for help; it is an invaluable first step in your healing process. Make a plan - figure out where your money is leaking: what you can cut back on? The key to financial freedom is having a strategy and thoughtfully following through. You can start by figuring out where your money is going, and which places you can cut back on. Once you have done that, then you can begin optimizing the places where you do spend, freeing up more of your resources in order to build wealth; don't let the stress of your finances weigh you down! A plan takes time and effort to create and maintain, but it will be a worthwhile investment in reaching a state of financial success. Take action - make small changes in your spending habits that will make a big difference over time Taking inspired action is one of the best ways to build a healthier relationship with money, and start taking control of your finances. Making small changes in your spending habits can add up over time, and make a big difference in your overall financial health. Whether it's committing to tracking your expenses each week, sticking to a budget that works for you, or making adjustments to improve your financial goals—any effort toward putting yourself in charge of your money will pay off. Start now by taking inspired action towards reaching your goals and be on the path towards healing your finances for good! Be patient - healing your finances takes time, but it is possible to get back on track Healing your finances is no simple task, and it doesn't happen overnight. Finding relief from stress and depression related to money matters can be a slow process, but one that is worth taking your time with. To get back on track, generosity is key; start with small acts of generosity like forgiving debt you feel others owe you. With generosity in mind, don't forget about discipline — make sure you're creating a financial plan for how to keep your money safe and grow it over time. And with patience, generosity, and discipline working together, it's possible to truly heal your finances for good. Make A Plan: Money + Mental Health Stress and depression related to money matters can take a serious toll on your mental health. If you're feeling overwhelmed by financial worries, it's important to remember that you're not alone—and that there are steps you can take to start healing your finances and finding relief. The first step to getting your finances back on track is making a plan. This will help you figure out where your money is going and what adjustments need to be made in order to reach your financial goals. To start, sit down with a pen and paper (or an app like Mint) and write out all of your expenses. This includes necessary costs like rent/mortgage, food, utilities, etc., as well as less obvious ones like subscriptions or monthly memberships. Actually, I just use a Google spreadsheet where I have all money coming in and all money going out, this is otherwise known as a profit and loss sheet or P&L. I track all my expenses right down to the penny using the Mint app, which is huge when it comes to tax time because I can literally run reports on where all of my money goes... Once you have a big-picture view of where your money is going, then you can begin the hard work of trimming those expenses down to something that you can manage each month. It's also important to make sure that any debt management plans are tailored specifically for your needs and resources—and that they prioritize what's most important first. For example, if credit card debt has been weighing heavily on your mind, consider reaching out to a debt consolidation specialist who can help negotiate lower interest rates on those cards so that more of each payment goes towards the balance itself rather than just accruing interest charges. Lowering the amount of interest being charged each month means more of your payment will go towards reducing the principal balance—which in turn will help get more quickly back on track financially. NEXT: Take Action While simply understanding where your money is going may feel empowering at first, it won't do much good unless you actually start putting into practice the changes needed for improvement. Start small: Make a commitment to tracking all of your weekly expenses or sticking with a budget that works for you; cut out unnecessary services such as magazine subscriptions; or adjust spending habits when possible so that more resources are available for savings and investments. Any effort towards taking control of the situation will reward in the long run! The most powerful thing I've ever seen in my own life, and in the lives of almost all people I know who have struggled with money is to take an honest look at where you are wasting money in exchange for immediate gratification. If you're spending money on alcohol and crappy food and going places that you don't even like just because you can't deal with the fact that your life is uncomfortable then it's time to take an emotional inventory. A powerful step for you to begin would be to head over to joshtrent.com/513 where I talk about the wellness pentagon, and the emotional inventory process so you can get clear on where your focus and attention are leaking out dollar bills from your wallet. Seriously go there right now. It is a perfect bookmark for you to do right after this. Be Patient Finally, it's important to remain patient and generous with yourself during this process; Healing finances takes time—no matter how small or big the steps required may be. Generosity is key here: start with forgiving any debt owed by yourself or others; follow through with discipline by creating a financial plan for keeping safe what’s yours and growing it over time; reward yourself responsibly when progress has been made - celebrate success but practice moderation when it coming rewarding yourself too much! Reward yourself - once you've made progress, treat yourself to something special Achieving financial freedom can be an incredibly rewarding process - no matter how small the steps! As you experience achievement and progress, don't forget to reward yourself for all the hard work and discipline it takes to turn your finances around. Whether it is a new outfit or dinner out, giving yourself something special will encourage you to continue on your journey while celebrating the achievement of your successes. Be sure to reward yourself responsibly and not take on more debt in order to do so: practice moderation, self-awareness, and planning to ensure that you make lasting changes for a brighter financial future. Ultimately, Stressed About Money? The Answers Are In Your Heart Tips to cope with debt and depression can lead way towards healing both psychologically and financially speaking - just be sure to remember to be patient and generous while doing so! With dedication comes progress - make sure to keep up with tracking expenses & setting realistic goals - then stick with them. Remember: celebrate successes along the way & reward yourself responsibly every once in a while. Every single time you allow yourself to ruminate and stress about money coming in takes you away from the inspired action place of doing and being so valuable to the marketplace, and to the people around you that you actually unconsciously sever the connection between money being given to you by the universe. When I say the universe, I don't just mean some pie in the sky idea that you're going to click your heels together three times and chant that "there's no place like home." What I'm talking about is not a fairytale. I'm talking about the life that you and I signed up for to live well inside of which requires every aspect of the five sides of the wellness pentagon, which I teach: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial. What I mean is that you will be such an energetic match by the service in your heart, and the passion in your soul, that people could literally not be able to not pay you because they want what you have or they want what you have to give. This has been the hardest learning curve for me in life, and that is my bank account is a crystal clear reflection of my beliefs about myself. And again, not just what other people are willing to pay you for what you give to them, it's what the universe is willing to give to you - depending on the 3 key factors I mentioned: What do you know, think and feel you're worth? How do you enthusiastically and with love and persuasiveness articulate that worthiness while being of service to others? What value of (goods or services) do you provide in the marketplace that is unique and important enough for others to pay you for? This holistic approach helps build a healthier relationship with money over time + truly get back on track sooner rather than later... After reading this... Where do you feel is the perfect starting point for you to achieve peace around your money and finances? You're not alone in feeling stressed and depressed about your finances - but there is hope. By reaching out for help, making a plan, and taking action, you can start to heal your finances and put yourself back on track. Be patient with yourself and celebrate your successes along the way - healing takes time, but it is possible. So where will you start? Listen to this Wellness + Wisdom podcast with Josh Trent and Robert Breedlove, about the history of money, and how you can create better financial success and sovereignty for yourself, utilizing digital currency and practical strategic financial steps.

Rob Dial | LEVEL UP: How To Stop Procrastinating + Create Your Dream Life
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 575 What is procrastination driven by? Is it laziness or fear? Rob Dial, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast, episode 575, to teach you why you need to seek inspiration over motivation to get things done, how to stop procrastinating, why it's important to follow what gives you energy, and why every day should be a good day to die.

They will either do it or they'll die trying." - Rob Dial 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.

But if you want it because you want to serve others, which is a much easier way to drive yourself to get stuff done and take action - if you're trying to do it for other people. When it's self-serving, it will last a little while but eventually the spark will die." - Rob Dial Bodily Programming Based on Our Past "You'll feel something before you think it. Our body is programmed based off of everything that has happened to us in the past. Normally, what happens is that you feel something first and then your brain tries to catch up. You usually feel fear before you notice the thought. There's an unconscious thought that comes first, then the body responds to it, then the conscious mind notices it." - Rob Dial Identity + Actions + Results "Identity goes into actions, actions go into results, results go back into identity. You have to question who is it that you are. You take either an action that's going to get you towards where you want to go or you're going to get your action to take you further away from where you want to go. And that's going to feed back into your identity." - Rob Dial Links From Today's Show Rob Dial The Mindset Mentor Podcast Level Up: How to Get Focused, Stop Procrastinating, and Upgrade Your Life by Rob Dial Hal Elrod Alan Watts 369 Paul Chek: All Is God | Part 1 of 3 461 Dr. Wendy Myers | Emotional Detox: Is Perfectionism From Trauma Causing Your Health Issues?

Parents are unable to individuate and break free themselves because they're so enmeshed with the parental indoctrination from their childhood that they need to present as perfect or happy or cheerful. That's why they can't allow their children to be autonomous individuated separate human beings and control their children." - Dr. Shefali Tsabary In This Episode, Dr. Shefali Tsabary Uncovers: [01:30] What Is Conscious Parenting?

Why anything that is not questioned can become dangerous. Why Dr. Shefali's mission is to break people from their conditioned patterns. How coming back home to yourself makes you more connected and compassionate. [15:55] Why Do Parents Control Their Children? Releasing the unproductive patterns. Why "good vibes only" is spiritual bypassing. How parents are unable to individuate and break free from their own conditioning. Why we control our children and see them as a part of us. Parenting is our ego on steroids. [20:50] The 5 Masks of Our Ego The sleep deprivation struggle as a parent. Why we put on masks as a survival mechanism.

Unpacking why we should stay aligned with our true selves. Why the seductions of culture are only important to our ego but don't truly make a difference. How Dr. Shefali tames her ego. Evolve 2023 with Dr. Shefali [spacer height="30px"] Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Who We Believe We Are "We believe that who we are is based on other people's opinion of us, our image in the world, our bank account, our looks, what we posses... This is the prevalent idea of how we should define ourselves. It's delusional because these things will never reach an endpoint of satiety or fruition." - Dr. Shefali Tsabary Are You Raising a Mini-Me? "When you're a parent, it's crucial you realize you aren't raising a mini-me but a spirit throbbing with its own signature. For this reason it's important to separate who you are from who each of your children is." - Dr. Shefali Tsabary Men's Conditioning "Men as a whole need to be reminded of their humanity. Men are not evil and women did not raise toxic men. Men have been conditioned to become toxic because of the prevelant cultural narrative. We need understand how men have been twisted and suffocated by this cultural paradigm as well as understand ourselves as women. But it's in understanding both that we will awaken and be emboldened to the highest empowerment." - Dr. Shefali Tsabary Links From Today's Show Dr. Shefali Tsabary The Parenting Map by Dr. Shefali On Children by Kahlil Gibran Gabor Maté A Radical Awakening: Turn Pain into Power, Embrace Your Truth, Live Free by Dr. Shefali 543 Kelly Brogan MD | How to Love ALL Your Parts + Be Self-Sovereign 503 Paul Levy | Wetiko: Break Free From Collective Mass Psychosis Evolve 2023 with Dr. Shefali Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products BREATHE - 20% off with the code “PODCAST20” 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" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" 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" HVMN Ketone-IQ - 20% off with the code "JOSH" 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 ‘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 Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Dr. Shefali Tsabary Dr. Shefali Tsabary is a world-renowned clinical psychologist specializing in integrating Eastern philosophy and Western psychology, making her an expert in her field.
