Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

"When you fast, you force yourself to become more aware of what you consume; whether it be food or media. So, when people need to detox from propaganda and marketing, I will them to do an advertising fast. Without changing their behavior otherwise, they see how long they can go without seeing, hearing, or viewing an advertisement. People think doing a 24-hour food fast is hard but this is impossible because the only way that you'll escape is if you don't have your phone on and you're in the woods."  - Sky King Are You Stressed Out Lately?

The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

His obsession with how the media programs and shapes our reality led him down the path of understanding media manipulation, realizing in 2016 that podcasting was escaping the standard media model. Sky has made it his mission to continue allowing podcasts to stay outside the influence of advertising and keep their content sincere. His podcast Sky King's Mental Playground focuses on the tension between centralized and decentralized systems, specifically on propaganda, financial systems, and political systems. You can listen at skmp.supercast.com or follow Sky on Twitter @consumersky or Instagtram @iamaskyking. Propaganda, Art, Health, Regenerative Systems, Great Food, Economic Incentives, and building companies in an increasingly digital world. All of these concepts live in the balance of centralized and decentralized systems. I believe that if we are not careful, we will watch the pendulum swing away from self-governance, and in that swing, we have the opportunity to lose the future of humanity to the dark side. These are the concepts that own my mind space. This podcast is an opportunity to play with these ideas with world leaders, entrepreneurs, my homies, and people that I find generally exciting or entertaining. It is called a playground for a reason. This podcast will be as fun as it is informative; we are tackling society's most pervasive issues, but in a way that we are undoubtedly going to fuck up, scribble on, and get hurt. Podcasting: A Gamified Media Model? Why Attention The New NFT

Technology always has good and bad sides, right? So, I'm not demonizing EMFs like many others because I think there is value in it. If we can find a way to live with them in a good and healthy manner, that's the deal. Quantum energy is the energy behind the matter of what we can touch. Also, in every cell we have a quantum energy field; that's how the cells communicate constantly and instantly. That's the very same energy that we were able to harness in a super concentrated and pure fashion at Leela Quantum Tech. - Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Negative energy can become imprinted in matter but if you were to place a piece of meat in the Leela Quantum Bloc, for example, you will be able to neutralize, reset, and optimize its energetic structure so that you don't take in any harmful frequencies it may have been carrying." - Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling Letting Go of Trauma with Leela "When we come into this world we already have a 'backpack' of experiences including trauma from possibly past lives, stories, our family's history and we carry that with us but we also add to it. We add experiences we have in our current lifetimes whether that's accidents, a traumatic birth, abuse, embarrassment, and more but the path of life is really to release more and more stuff from the 'backpack' so that you can be freer and the Leela Quantum Bloc helps with that release." - Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling What Life is All About "Life is not about getting anywhere quicker; we should focus on being content in the moment rather than putting all of our energy on being someone else or somewhere else. The more of our consciousness that we can unlock, the happier we will be, the lighter our load will be, and the freer we will feel. That is what happiness is in the end: being our authentic selves and finding peace within ourselves." - Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling Links From Today's Show  Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling Meet the Healers at Leela Roman Christian Hafner 439 Khalil Rafati breathwork.io Leela Quantum Tech's research Water Structure Study - Emoto Institute Japan Bully A Plant: Say No To Bullying The power of the placebo effect 361 Luke Storey 449 Hearts Wide Open | Identifying & Healing Core Wounds To Live Your Vision Heart Math institute  404 Jay Brown David R.

YouTube Instagram Facebook LinkedIn About Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling Philipp Samor knows the energetic abundance that stands behind all existence. He is a coach, conscious entrepreneur, alpha chi teacher and energy healer. In parallel to a successful international business career he constantly worked through blockages and barriers that prevented him to truly connect with his true self. With that he started to also see energy fields and developed his unique skills as a healer. His core competency is to transform energetic blockages, and to open the hidden treasures within one’s self. He understands how it is to have forgotten who we are, why we are here, and how blocked we can be in regards to remembering and accessing our true inner nature, power and consciousness. His passion is to help others free their potential, and to help spread “tools” in the world that can act as a bridge for humans on the path to fully unlocking the access to our full consciousness, e.g., Carbon 60 as well as quantum and frequency technology.

An Akashic record is believed to be this energetic space that holds your soul's history. If you think of western Christianity and Judaism, they call it the book of life. In Eastern traditions, they call it Akasha Primary Substance but it's this idea that every single thing that you have ever done in the history of your soul's life, not this incarnation, has been recorded and stored somewhere." - Laura Coe Wellness + Wisdom Episode 451 Akashic Records Reader, Author of The Nature of Series, and Founder of The Little Soul School, Laura Coe, returns to share the truth behind the Akashic Records, how to unlock your potential in our 3D world, as well as the concepts of soul splitting, twin flames, and soulmates. What are the Akashic Records and how can they help you better understand your next path in life? Find out how Laura helps people better understand themselves, their soul contracts, and their dharma.

Laura’s experience of now training over 400 people to do Akashic Record readings. What comes up for people when they first learn this skill and how they avoid projecting their own traumas in the process. How and why people should trust their instincts during an Akashic Record reading plus what lessons can be learned if you don’t do this.

[31:30] Soul Splitting at Inception & Healing a Loss of Wellbeing The loss of wellbeing and different emotions that a person will go through when they experience a soul split. Her belief and understanding that our souls split at inception and that is what creates our twin flame. Why she doesn’t necessarily see this as a harsh split but more a desire from our soul to live through the body. Breaking down how the soul is ever-present and always aware of what is happening around us. How the energy of our past lifetimes can have an impact on our soul experience. Why people can be so drawn to dark energy that they find themselves stuck there rather than being in the light. The fact that bad emotions aren’t seen as being wrong in the Akashic Records. Why experiencing bad or negative thoughts, emotions, and behavior is all part of being human. Powerful lessons that we can learn from negative and heavy human experiences such as recognizing and embracing positive ones. Why it’s not important whether or not you are or were angry about something but the time difference between the experience and lack of attachment. [40:00] Soul Contract & Free Will Unpacking spiritual bypassing and why sometimes people use it knowingly or unknowingly to protect themselves. Why sometimes we’re not ready to heal or fix things and so spiritual bypassing and being positive all the time is a shield people use to protect themselves. Caroline Myss Exploring how the soul contract that we are born with and our free will are combined in this human experience. The plan we all created for ourselves before we came into this world so we can have the experiences and lessons we wanted to experience. Why it may take a soul several lifetimes to finally experience or learn something in this world that they have set out in their contract. The fact that sometimes a soul contract isn’t fulfilled and that then creates karma. Why karma isn’t a bad spiritual debt, it’s just owed without any negative attachment to it. The nagging, excruciating feeling that people can experience when they don’t think they’re living up to their potential or purpose but they don’t know what to do next.

Why dharma is like building a muscle over time: the more and more you practice and micro drop into, it will help you work your way to finding your purpose. The fact that many people are blocked from living their dharma by comparing it to other people’s dharmas. Laura’s own struggles and exploration phase as she searched for her calling. The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk MD Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma by Peter A.

[1:25:50] Twin Flames & Soul Mates Exploring the concepts of twin flames and soul mates plus how you know who is who in your life.

Why you can have many soul mates but just one twin flame. How twin flames help mirror back not just weaknesses but strengths as well. The reverence, tools, and support necessary for twin flame relationships and why they don't often stay together long-term. How the healing for a twin flame might continue down the line for 3 or more lifetimes even. Laura's relationship with her twin flame and why she's become 10x a better person because of it despite how hard it is in reality. How to know if you've really met your twin flame that is helping you evolve or if you're just in a toxic relationship. What Laura is currently working on for herself right now including releasing and accepting that maybe it's okay to not know everything. Power Quotes From The Show Why We Don't Really Want Success "When we think about success and how we define that and what that looks like; it's very easy to achieve success. Just get out there and grind; don't listen to anything, work 12 hours a day, just go for it and you will get success somewhere but that's not what people want. They want a sense of fulfillment, a sense of connection to themselves, and then that is reflected in the real world. That's why people come up empty-handed when it's all done; they worked hard, they built a business, but something doesn't feel right." - Laura Coe The Healing & Struggle of Twin Flames "The idea of a twin flame is that your soul has split in half and you have one other soul that is your other half. You don't meet in lifetimes that often but when you do there is this rapid growth of learning which causes a lot of struggle because you mirror each other's deepest wounds for the other person to rapidly heal and mostly unknowingly you're mirroring. The struggle is deep and often there is a lot of breaking up, a lot of challenges, and oftentimes the relationships don't work because it's so hard to be around somebody who mirrors you to that degree. It's for your soul growth and it is for your highest good so that you can heal these things and move into the world." - Laura Coe The Difference Between Soul Mates & Twin Flames "Whereas there's one Twin Flame, there are lots of Soul Mates we can meet during our lifetimes. Soul mates are like your best friend that you have had over many lifetimes. They are these souls that you reincarnate with a lot and there is that comfort. You meet how many people in a year in work and even just comings and goings but once in a while you meet someone who is like family to you." - Laura Coe Links From Today's Show  The Little Soul School Akashic Readings with Laura Coe 243 Laura Coe: Emotional Obesity Emotional Obesity by Laura Coe Get the first three books in Laura Coe’s Nature of series: The Nature of Love, The Nature of Self-Love, and The Nature of Boundaries.

She found her calling in philosophy, which she studied at Brandeis, as well as in graduate school at Tufts University. After realizing she didn’t want to pursue academia, she went on to become a healthcare tech entrepreneur. After selling her company in 2006, she came back to her philosophical roots and wrote Emotional Obesity, as well as hosted the popular podcast, The Art of Authenticity. When Laura came across the Akashic Records—a way to systematically deepen the connection to your authentic voice—she found that the wisdom of the Records changed the trajectory of her work, and she used it to author The Nature of Series and to found The Little Soul School. Her writing has been featured in Forbes, The Huffington Post, Inc., Thought Catalog, The New York Observer, and more.

Understanding the body's incredible intelligence especially when we stop to tune into it. Why the results of deficiencies might not show up until years later such as osteoporosis. Breaking down how urine tests are just as accurate as blood tests, if not more. How they have made Vivoo cost-effective for people looking to make and track lifestyle changes to better improve their health. Why it depends on each person for how often they track their biomarkers with Vivoo. Who their top customers are and why it's quite surprising. [13:00] Are You Chronically Dehydrated? The fact that many people are actually chronically dehydrated without even realizing it. What surprised Miray the most when she first began tracking herself with Vivoo. Sneaky reasons why you might be experiencing chronic fatigue. The Salt Fix: Why the Experts Got It All Wrong--and How Eating More Might Save Your Life by Dr. James DiNicolantonio The moment Miray realized that she needed more salt in her diet to help her keep her energy up and feel good everyday.

How Vivoo acts as a healthy mirror of mindfulness. Her own healthy habits around using trackers like the Oura ring without getting caught up in the data especially after something like a red eye flight. Miray's leadership style and the fact that their team is organically 70% women. Why their customers are mostly women buying for themselves or for their partners. How Vivoo can help with period tracking for women. Alerts women will receive to help them have a better monthly experience by alerting them what nutrients they're lacking such as magnesium to help with cramps as well as hydration and movement suggestions. How women use Vivoo post-pregnancy to track their nutrients. The fact that many period tracking apps have been created by men so Miray and her team are able to identify and provide what is missing for their female customers. [23:25] Improving Society's Overall Wellbeing The challenges they faced when developing the app and how they used machine learning to help overcome them. Breaking down what machine learning is and how it is a helpful AI tool. How the Vivoo strips work to transfer information back to you on your phone's app through API and also keeps your identity anonymous and information encrypted and safe.

How Texas compares to other states with their biomarking findings. The fact that the USA is more acidic and dehydrated compared to Europe and why that might be. Where most people are doing a keto diet compared to the rest of the nation or world. [28:00] Tracking & Understanding Our Oxidative Stress Unpacking the MDA (Malondialdehyde) biomarker to help track oxidative stress and why that is so special. The multiple free radicals that are in MDA and how it's tracked in urine with a color metric test. How the MDA helps a persona identify that they have an UTI or an infection. The increase they see in MDA for customers who smoke. The fact that free radicals stats can differ depending on the pollution within your postal code. Why it can be difficult to detect Vitamin C and that is something that they are working on improving. Exploring why urine has not yet been studied enough in helping us understand the human body and so they do their very own clinical trials.

Why it's common to see a significant increase in oxidative stress after being sick like Josh was recently with the flu. [31:20] How Coffee Impacts Our Health: Good or Bad for You?

The transition Miray experienced the moment she had to quit coffee for a teeth whitening treatment and how her body feels now compared to before. Biomarking and lifestyle changes Miray noticed when she quit coffee such as her pH levels, body composition, and energy.

Josh's own experience with coffee and why he started to only drink espresso starting 6 months ago. Why drinking caffeine might not be for you if you have a very sensitive immune system.

The amazing health changes people are seeing because of using Vivoo even if it's something as small as improving their hydration levels. [42:30] Vivoo's Incredible Biotracking Design Taking a closer work at how Vivoo actually works plus it's incredible design. Why it's important that each Vivoo strip is sealed before use so that no air, light, or humidity can impact it. The special design of the strip that makes it user-friendly and very easy to use. Why some of the metric colors such as for Vitamin C will change and others will not. Future plans Vivoo has to keep improving their design such as an add-on for a smart toilet at home. Their mission to always keep making their system easier for the user, especially their elder community. What surprises her the most about Vivoo and their product. Why they manufacture their product in-house. Their plans to increase the amount of biomarkers that you can track using Vivoo. 397 Kara Collier | How To Stop Eating Sugar: The CGM Solution & NutriSense How CGM devices like NutriSense can be a good tool to use in addition to Vivoo. Miray's experience combining Vivoo with saliva and CGM testing to cross-check everything. The fact that 60% of Americans are not meeting their daily magnesium intake and 70% are not for calcium. How important it is to count our nutrients and not just calories in some individuals' cases. Power Quotes From The Show Common Nutrient Deficiencies in the USA "Around 60% of Americans are not meeting their daily magnesium intake and it is 70% for calcium. Please be mindful of what you are eating. As well as counting calories, if you are doing that, try to count nutrients as well because as humans are living longer, we need to take better care of ourselves. Many of us will easily live to be 90 years old or older if we continue to take good care of our health. It's important that we have good health as we get older so that we're not in bad shape, barely walking, and suffering for decades. These nutrient deficiencies are really, really important and we need to keep an eye on them on a regular basis."  - Miray Tayfun Vivoo's Positive Encouragement for Lifestyle Change "I want people to be encouraged by their Vivoo results. If their results are above average, instead of panicking, I want them to see it as an opportunity to make a change to improve their results. The language we use on the app is not rigid but friendly because we don't want to make people feel sad or punished if they're not hydrated but rather encouraged. People don't tend to have a serious lack of information about how to improve their health but they have a lack of motivation and we want to help them with that. A health product and app should be supportive, not make you feel bad." - Miray Tayfun Living Life Well Every Day "For me, wellness is listening to your body's voice; listening to your mind's voice. Give it your full attention every day. Wellness is a whole but if one area of it is suffering, it's not the end of the world. You just have to take extra care. Maybe your body needs you to focus on nutrition or hydration more than usual some days. In moments of high stress when your heart is racing, remember to breathe. If you focus on doing something for your health every single day, then your whole body will remain strong." - Miray Tayfun Links From Today's Show  Miray Tayfun The Salt Fix: Why the Experts Got It All Wrong--and How Eating More Might Save Your Life by Dr. James DiNicolantonio LMNT 403 Robb Wolf | Electrolytes: How Sodium, Potassium & Magnesium Help To Beat Brain Fog 252 Why Sleep Beats Food For Fat Loss: Harpreet Rai 397 Kara Collier | How To Stop Eating Sugar: The CGM Solution & NutriSense Shop the Wellness Force Store breathwork.io Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Seeking Health - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40' Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Vivoo Instagram YouTube Facebook Twitter LinkedIn About Miray Tayfun Miray Tayfun is the Co-founder and the CEO of Vivoo, an at-home urine test with an application that measures 11 parameters and delivers personalized advice to individuals so they can improve their health and wellness.

If I honor my sadness and I don't try to get away from it and I feel to the bottom of my sadness, there's really just gratitude that I even get to hold my son, hold my partner, and experience life. That is an extreme recipe for living life fucking well if I can just honor the sadness about that. That is living; honoring the sadness is living.

You'll be able to have a more powerful divine connection. Everything will work better and when we first start out on this journey, getting the vitality of the body is super important, especially for the brain and nervous system for radical health transformation." - Dr. John Lieurance Unpacking Fear vs Anxiety "I notice that so many people use the words, 'fear' and 'anxiety' often interchangeably and when I first became sober, I used to just be so consumed with fear. However, as I started to unpack it, I realized that fear is when a wolf walks through the door and your life is in danger; a totally natural, healthy response is to be in fear and get away in that moment. Anxiety is if you're sitting here and there's no wolf on the property and you're obsessively thinking about what would happen if a wolf walked through the door right now. Fear is, in its truest sense for me, something that is immediate and righteous but anxiety is imaginary and always future-based that has no basis in reality. So, how can we uproot that anxiety and have greater open awareness that keeps us grounded in this present moment?" - Luke Storey The Wounded Healer's Magic "The magic really happens when you take yourself out of victimhood and take ownership of your life. When we play the victim, we're just at the world's mercy and totally powerless. Opposite of that, when you transform into the wounded healer, you are the one that carries the real medicine that you get to share with others." - Cal Callahan Botanic Tonics | Feel Free Save 40% on your Botanic Tonics Feel Free order with the code WELLNESS40 at wellnessforce.com/FeelFree A feel good wellness tonic of ancient plants from the South Pacificand Southeast Asia where they’ve been used socially and in wellness for centuries.

You're neutralizing a pattern that's not good for you; maybe it's just general stress and anxiety or a traumatic event that occurred. It's all the range. - Amy Piper Are You Stressed Out Lately?

What often leads people to try EFT Tapping after other healing practices like talk therapy. How EFT Tapping helps uncover where trauma is being held in the brain and throughout the rest of the body. The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk Why some areas of the brain like the amygdala, the limbic system, and other autonomic areas do not respond to spoken language and that's where EFT Tapping comes in to neutralize it.

The different organs and emotions each meridian pathway connects to in the body. Why the verbal part of EFT Tapping is essential because you are working with the pre-frontal cortex as well.

Power Quotes From The Show Combining EFT Tapping & Talk Therapy "Clients that are coming to me have often already done talk therapy 95% of the time and they have learned a lot from it but they're still having panic attacks, trauma patterns keep repeating or they're still having trouble in their relationship. So, where EFT Tapping comes in, and it's a beautiful compliment to talk therapy if people want to do both, is we're getting after where it is held in the brain... ..We're really going after fight or flight and the limbic or the emotional brain. As you talk while you tap, you're really going after the non-verbal part of the brain. You may know why you're having these panic attacks, phobias, addictions or anxious thoughts but you can't stop it until you tap to go after the brain that doesn't recognize spoken language and neutralize it." - Amy Piper Healing Emotional Weight & Trapped Emotions "Often people come to me with weight issues that they want to heal and so I work with them to go back and figure out when did this all started and what was going on in their life at the same time. Just by asking five to six questions, I receive a wealth of information to help them begin including asking, 'What part of this is emotional weight?' Not just diet and exercise but the emotional component and subconscious thoughts as well such as, 'I need this weight to protect me,' because it insulates me from the pain I'm feeling." - Amy Piper Healing Trauma: Peeling Back the Layers "EFT tapping actually doesn't take a long time to help people clear out their trauma so it doesn't have to be a painful process. Some times, for each specific area you want to work on it may only take 3-5 sessions. With each session, you're rapidly peeling back the layers of the anger, resentment, shame, and any other emotions you're feeling. You do have to go through it to heal but I think EFT really provides a safe way to feel and release." - Amy Piper Links From Today's Show  Tapping for Truth Use the code 'JOSH' in your subject line and message to Amy for a 15% discount for the 1:1 sessions and a 10% discount for the EFT trainings.

She works with people both in person and virtually in 1:1 sessions. She also conducts EFT Level I and 2 workshops to train others in EFT, as a tool for themselves, or for professionals to add to an existing healing practice. EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques, more commonly known as 'tapping.' She began her journey with EFT as a client over 15 years ago. Having direct experience with this transformational work, she felt called to train and become certified in these techniques. EFT is commonly referred to as “emotional acupuncture.’ It not only releases emotional distress but also goes beyond to reverse negative core beliefs. She loves it because it is powerful and works quickly. Amy's Work in EFT Tapping & Speech-Language Pathology Her formal education is as a speech-language pathologist; I completed my Master’s in speech sciences and embarked on this career nearly 20 years ago. She enjoyed working with people specializing in the area of brain injury/trauma within speech pathology, however, she often felt that something was missing. She was working primarily with people who had experienced a traumatic event as part of a rehab team of professionals. When she encountered EFT (tapping), she realized this was the piece that had been missing. EFT has the power to heal traumatic experiences/memories that are held in the body and energy system. Releasing these traumas/painful experiences can have a profound effect on one’s health. About the Science of EFT Tapping EFT brings Chinese Acupressure and modern psychology together. It combines gentle tapping on key acupuncture points while focusing your thoughts on physical pain, unhappy memories, uncomfortable emotions, traumas, fears/phobias, or any other problem. EFT works to “smooth out” the energetic disruption between thoughts/ memories and an emotional reaction. The emotional factors that contribute to the problem are typically released along with the energy blocks. The tapping is working directly with the limbic brain, specifically the amygdala, where our stress response (flight/flight) is controlled. Tapping has a direct and immediate effect to down-regulate the amygdala. It’s a powerful tool to clear recent traumas or things that happened all the way back in our childhood/early years. As we identify certain patterns in our lives or belief systems that no longer serve us, we can tap to clear these patterns. This allows us to live from a more neutral and joyful place.

There's a difference between learning and experiential learning. With experiential learning, you go through life and you get knocked down. Maybe you become an addict for a while or you go through broken relationships and blame it on other people. Then you wake up one morning thinking the last three relationships didn't work out; maybe it's me. From that point, you are on a mission of growth and of finding your purpose in life. To grow and have a true purpose you need emotional inventory, self-awareness, connection with a higher power, as well as curiosity and humility. - Josh Trent Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Hawkins The different obstacles we all face as we go from the lowest frequency, shame, to the highest ones of love and courage. How being uncomfortable with where we are at in life will force us to move through different frequencies of emotions. The lower frequencies such as despair that Josh stayed at for a long time and why he needed that to help him grow. Why addiction can happen when we are disconnected from ourselves. [12:30] Safety is an Illusion Backlash Josh experienced when he tried to white knuckle and force his way rather than be present and apply embodied wisdom. The price we pay when we force ourselves to be "square" and make things happen. Whey we're designed to be "round" in order to live life well. How we can begin to be proactive and take care of ourselves and our loved ones. The importance of honoring the mystery of life especially when sad experiences happen to us like someone becoming sick or world devastation. Where we can find safety: being right here, right now in the present moment. Josh's own massive wake-up health and growth moment at a party when he was 21 years old.

[32:00] Be Careful of Unearned Wisdom How to integrate the wisdom earned during a guided plant medicine ceremony or psychedelic experience. Jordan Peterson The key message that Jordan Peterson shares with everyone: be careful of unearned wisdom. Why it takes us much longer to integrate and embody wisdom from Mother Earth than we think it does. The responsibility we all have to heal ourselves. Unpacking epigenetics and how lifestyle can impact our mental, physical, and emotional health. Why it's important to be careful and aware during plant ceremonies of our parents' and grandparents' unhealed traumas. The deep connection that Josh had with his grandfather during one plant medicine ceremony. How to prepare yourself in multiple ways before you ever attend a plant medicine ceremony or psychedelic experience. Josh's bad experience during his last plant medicine ceremony because of the improper way it was prepared by the hosts and the fact that he's still integrating and healing from it 2 years later. What could've happened to Josh if had not done the preparatory work before his last ceremony. Why it's perfectly fine to not be called to something like ketamine, plant medicine, or other psychedelics unless it's something that can help you with the right professional guidance. [41:45] Embodying Wisdom with Breathwork 416 Ben Stewart The power of breathwork and why it is life. How we sacrifice the way that we breathe because we develop these coping strategies to stress. 358 Dr. Belisa Vranich How Josh helps people improve and embody their breath as a tremendous healing practice. Why tears and breath are steps toward being truly strong, embodied, and integrated. Gwen Payne 282 Anahata Ananda 249 Niraj Naik [48:45] Discovering & Embodying Purpose in 4 Steps Why self-awareness is key for finding your purpose. The fact that you might be living someone else's purpose if you have not yet cultivated self-awareness. Differences between learning and experiential learning. Why it's not just one thing but 3-4 things necessary to help you find your purpose. How purpose can shift and change over time as we grow and develop. Why we need more emotional intelligence training in schools and how Meg's son's class is actually focusing on this in their curriculum. Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey Why everyone must go on their own Hero's Journey during their lifetime. The three types of people in the world: sheep (which is most people), wolves preying on the sheep trying to get power, and then there are shepherds that are really trying to help the sheep. Why we have to be aware of the "goody-two-shoes" who believe they know what is best for everyone else because a lot of times their motive isn't pure. When the need for control and making decisions for other people comes from a place of fear and contraction. How our internal issues force us to wake up, especially during eras like CV 19. Power Quotes From The Show Raise Your Vibration "If you look at David R. Hawkins' work and you understand the frequencies of each emotion, the lowest possible frequency in the entire world is shame. As you climb the ladder from shame towards love, there are many rungs of the ladder that we have to grip and learn how to climb on. It's not until about 250 on a frequency basis that we actually get to courage. So, I think maybe some of us have to rifle around in these lower frequencies so that we became so uncomfortable that we would actually go from despair to anger and from there to courage, love, and eventually purpose." - Josh Trent How an Unhealthy Drive Harms Us "To do anything in life, there are so many things that have to be welcomed in and allowed space for otherwise we're just white-knuckling and our drivenness actually harms us. This unhealthy drive actually becomes a disease that we can be aware of unless we're presented and tune into ourselves." - Josh Trent Purpose Can Shift Over Time "Purpose can shift and change over time. Some people are lucky and know that from 3 years old they want to be a fireman but I was never one of those people. When people just know what they're meant to do, it can be called their God-given purpose but I think it can still shift. Then answer depends on a lot of different variables for each person." - Josh Trent Links From Today's Show  I Am Driven Podcast I Am Driven by Dr. Doug Brackmann Take the Driven Assessment BREATHE: Breath and Wellness David R.

If somebody experiences fear or unrest in themselves, my invitation and my request for somebody would be just to put their hand on their solar plexus or on their heart, take a breath, and remind themselves that they are here in this present moment. To remind themselves that they are an individual having a human experience and that they're safe. When you become truly present, you're always safe. - Jesse Elder Are You Stressed Out Lately?

The upgrades Jesse receives and what they feel like for him. His experience with anxiety when he was younger and how he knows these sensations are not that but upgrades in his mind, body, and spirit. The downshift drift he will feel when he gets too close to mainstream comfort levels like when he spends hours on his phone looking at social media. Benefits of doing deep research on past and current world events that are fearful but also sobering. Why we can't be love or experience true freedom without having both the light and the dark in life. 443 Leslie Manookian How to connect with higher consciousness and source by creating a specific environment for it.

[1:32:30] Your Natural Law Right Paul Chek | All Is God What tangible actions you can take right now if you are feeling uneasy or fearful after listening to Jesse and Josh's conversation. The fact that all humans are created equal and no human has more rights than any other. Why it's so hard for us to sometimes stand up for ourselves and so we go along with the majority because we want connection and to be safe. The place that we all have in the natural world and what that means. Breaking down taxation and the fact that it does not exist in the natural world, so why should we give in? The overwhelm that Jesse felt in his mind about two taxes to the point that he didn't pay them for up to 7 years. His interest in law and why there isn't any rule that says you must pay personal income taxes, it is voluntary, but he hired a lawyer just in case. The experience he had being audited and why it didn't scare him. Why it's so important to dig deep right now and start exploring who you are at your core in your mind and body, a divine creation. Alphonso Faggiolo on YouTube Official website of Alphonse Faggiolo Crrow777 Radio Donald Duck The Spirit of 43 1943 How to let go of our fear of 'death' in our minds. Power Quotes From The Show Mind Vitamins & Non-Resistant Flow “Time behaves very differently when you're operating in a vacuum of judgment. When you are completely free of the past and free of the future, and you are filling this time in space with who and what you actually are…and being fully, really powerfully yourself. It is beyond cathartic and a restoration of your child-like qualities of being timeless." - Jesse Elder | The Art of Resiliency Achieving Functional Mastery "I'm hungry and I'll do whatever it takes to be around other people that I can learn from. In that way, my ego is extremely involved too. I'm not competitive with anybody and I don't see how it can be a useful frame. After a while you absorb so much information, you're constantly testing, and then before you know it you have a mastery that might have taken ten years of trial and error if you hadn't compressed it in a short amount of time. Calendars are irrelevant to success; all achievement is really an emotional journey of normalization." - Jesse Elder How to be in Alignment with Universal Frequency "While we're in this physical experience, we're here to observe and create. We create by feeling our emotions as they constantly act as a beacon of attraction, but also a way to give feedback. When we feel good, happy, and have that powerful sense of well-being - then we're in alignment with the universal frequency. When we don't feel good because of our perception or because of other people's influence that pulls our perception, it's just a sign that we've gotten away from who we really are." - Jesse Elder Links From Today's Show  Jesse Podcast The Upgraded Life David R.

You will hear in this episode how Jesse started out as a little boy dedicated to Martial Arts, and by 20 yrs of age, he was traveling the world competing. Then he opened his own martial arts school and sought out successful mentors to help him with the business side of things. He learned that his success wasn’t going to rely on how great of a martial artist he was, but on how well he related and connected with others.

With traditional, non-organic mattresses, many people don't realize how the materials actually negatively impact their health. They think that there is no harm; they go to bed for a couple of hours, they wake up, they wash their sheets and they think that's not going to do anything but it's the accumulative effect. Every night you are breathing in and your skin is soaking up all these chemicals. At night is when our body is detoxing and it's trying to recover from the day but if you're on sleeping on a mattress with chemicals in it night after night, it's counterintuitive. - Tim Masters Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Warning signs to look for in a mattress including how your new mattress smells plus off-gassing and its Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). FDA orders R.J. Reynolds to stop selling some of its cigarette brands Final Rule: Standard for the Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress Sets The government's call for new fire retardent chemicals in 2006 with the 1633 burn test and the problem with it. Past burn test 1632 which called for strategically placing 36 cigarettes on a mattress. The fact that the fire retardant chemicals in mattresses today are the same ones that cause cancer. History of these toxins and how they were sold from RJ Reynolds to the mattress and bedding industry to be used in their products. Why we should always follow the money when looking at what is happening around us with different rules and regulations.

Why it's so important to help our bodies naturally detox at night by providing them with a healthy environment including our mattress, sheets, and pillows [23:30] Benefits of Organic Mattresses What My Green Mattress uses in their products to meet the fire retardant regulations including certified organic wool and cotton. Our history of using organic wool as a natural fire barrier including in firemen's jackets. The many advantages of using certified organic cool which include its ability to breathe so much better and it doesn't cost much more than the toxins in other mattresses. Tim's mission to help get the message out about the benefits and importance of organic mattresses. Other components of naturally made mattresses including organic latex which is sap from a rubber tree. Why organic latex is not the same as the latex we normally think of and why it's safe for you because it has the same proteins as a banana or a kiwi fruit. How organic latex is produced and why it has a carbon footprint of next to nothing. The organic toppers that are available from My Green Mattress if you like the cushion feel of a memory foam mattress. Why it was so hard for people to go from a water bed mattress to a traditional one when they had been sleeping on it for years. The transition your body might go through when you switch to an organic mattress but they're so pressure-relieving like water beds once you get used to them. [29:00] How Often Should You Replace Your Mattress? How Tim knew that Josh is a side sleeper just by looking at his body when he stood up for him. The pride Tim has for the work they do with My Green Mattress and helping people live healthier lives. His mission to always keep developing better mattresses and accessories for people. How to build mattresses that fit the people and their sleeping needs. The sad reality that millions of mattresses of toxins are just dumped at landfills and buried in the earth every year but 70-80% can actually be recycled. Going Zero Waste How the materials in My Green Mattress products last longer than other mattresses with chemicals and petroleum. Why mattresses in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s were made with natural dunlop latex from rubber trees and they were so durable that they lasted for up to 40 years sometimes. The important fact that if you're replacing your mattress every 5-10 years, that is way too soon and you should look at more durable options like organic mattresses.

Power Quotes From The Show How Traditional, Non-Organic Mattresses Cause Cancer "The chemicals that are in non-organic, traditional mattresses today are not only thought to be but actually proven to be cancer-causing. The chemicals that they put in to make them fireproof are the same chemicals put in cigarettes. How it works is with a cigarette, if you don't keep puffing on it, it will extinguish itself and the chemicals work similarly with these mattresses. RJ Reynolds sold most of these chemicals to the bedding and furniture industry to put in fire barrier products like the blanket that goes inside the top layer of the mattress." - Tim Masters What Kind of Sleeper Are You? "I can tell by looking at people and their physique what kind of bed they need. Every time a person comes into the showroom, based on the way that they carry themselves, I know what kind of bed is for them. I can tell a side sleeper from a back sleeper from a stomach sleeper. Many people who meet with me want the most expensive mattress but that one might not be what your body needs to heal and feel rested night after night. I build mattresses that fit the individual person and I love helping people that way." - Tim Masters Switch Your Mattress to Heal From Bedroom Toxins "People want to take care of their body and so they feed it something like organic food but your skin is your largest organ. So, when you're sleeping, your body is soaking up all those chemicals in a non-organic, traditional mattress. Many people don't make the connection that since they've purchased their traditional mattress, they haven't felt well in a year. Once they realize it and they switch to an organic mattress, they start to feel better because their body doesn't have to put up the fight all night long." - Tim Masters Links From Today's Show  Win an Organic Queen Natural Escape Mattress ($1,499 value)!

Tim was inspired to develop an organic crib mattress for her made from only the healthiest and most honest materials. Emily is a happy, healthy little girl who loves to play hard and sleep sound on a mattress made from her father’s motivation, fortitude, and best of all, love. Tim and his wife Cindy, and their five children: Rylee, Kyle, Emily, Madelyn, and Megan have a mission—to make their family’s sleeping environment, and yours, the healthiest it can possibly be.

People love cosmetics; it is a multi-billion dollar industry. They make us look, feel, and smell better but these chemicals are easy to access and make. You can make cosmetics very cheaply and in the USA, there is very, very little regulation on skincare and people don't realize that. So many people will say to me, 'Well, if it's sold at XYZ box store, then it must be safe. It couldn't go on the shelf if it wasn't safe.' That is completely untrue. - Emilie Toups Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Organics - Save 15% with code 'JOSH' Emilie Toups 437 Josh Trent | Death & Rebirth: Why I’m Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force… How Toups & Co. got its start because of their first daughter's skincare needs for her severe eczema and topical allergies. The moment she realized that what they were feeding her daughter, the standard American diet, might be part of her skin problems. Her family's background and her mother's own interest in herbalism. Why she wasn't interested in the idea of a home birth at first and what changed her mind. The fact that tallow, which is rendered beef fat, is surprisingly beneficial for our skin. How they use tallow in their product line and the fact that they only use it from grass-fed cows that live on regenerative farms. Why tallow is the only skin moisturizer that her mother will use on a regular basis. Unpacking what sebum is: the oil that our skin creates on its own. Why we don't want to use products from soaps to laundry detergents that strip away our natural sebum.   [15:45] What's Really In Your Skincare? The Top 3 Skin Offenders The importance of helping regulate your skin's natural microbiome to keep it healthy. Why it's important to avoid fragrances, parabens, Phenoxyethanol, and other bad chemicals in your skincare products even "natural" ones. The fact that the average woman uses 12 products a day with up to 168 different chemicals that cross into our bloodstream. How the chemicals a pregnant woman puts on her skin can be crossed into a developing fetus. What "fragrance" really means on a label and how it can be used to hide up to 4,000 chemicals sometimes in a product. Breaking down why all of these chemicals have been allowed to be even put into our products. The fact that there is very, very little regulation on skincare products. Why some products are put on a store's shelves without even ever being tested. The revolving door of CEOs trading places in organizations like the FDA, Big Food, USDA, Big Pharma, and AIG.   [24:00] Secrets of Big Name Skincare Companies The importance of keeping your eyes and ears open so that you are not duped by marketing that promises something is good for you when it really is not. Dangers of traditional cologne and perfumes that you are breathing in and why it's good to switch to an organic, non-toxic product. Why it's no secret that many skincare companies are owned by big business conglomerates that also own other brands in different industries. How companies hide the research and make it appear that their products are safe. Why one research study done in the USA will say something is safe but than somewhere else like Europe will come out saying it's not. The Truth About Olaplex's No. 3 Formula and Its Link to Infertility Why women still continue to use products like Olaplex even though it has harmful side effects including infertility. The fact that many big name products from companies like Neutrogena and Murad that are oil-free have so many harmful ingredients in them. Oil-Free Skincare Lawsuits Pile Up Why it's hard for women to look for more natural ingredients because of marketing or maybe they want to emulate someone else.   [31:00] Don't Trust What (Most) Influencers Are Promoting Her hope for women to become more educated about what harmful ingredients can do to your skin and the rest of the body. Different red flags out there that you should rethink about a product before buying it. The fact that the Kardashians own a skincare brand that is full of toxic ingredients and then they're lobbying to get toxic ingredients out of the beauty industry. Kourtney Kardashian Lobbies to Get Toxic Ingredients Out of the Beauty Industry The many hoops that skincare lines (including smaller brands who are doing the right thing) have to go through to be labeled "organic" including paperwork and money. Why it's easier for big brands with money like Target and Wal-Mart to jump through the hoops or find another way to be labeled "organic" while it's much harder for other, smaller brands. What it is about humanity that we're so easily duped into buying products that harm our biology. The fact that our poor diets are causing our skin and hair to be unhealthy and so we turn to what will give us a quick fix.   [38:30] The Beauty of Feeling Our Best Why we're seeing more and more lawsuits against skincare brands recently in 2020 and 2021. How to shift our mindset from wanting to "look perfecting" to "looking and feeling our best." Why sometimes it takes us until we're really sick until we finally start making lifestyle changes. The first products you should focus on switching out for both men and women. Why deodorant with aluminum and fragrance should be immediately replaced. What products her husband uses for his face's skincare regime including tallow. The products they have available for you to try yourself. How a shaving soap bar with a brush is a great swap out for shaving cream for men. Why mascara is their top-selling makeup product. The toxins that are found in other mascaras; especially waterproof products. What order she recommends using their skincare products in for your new regime. Why you really only need 3-4 skin products instead of the average 12 you might've been using before each day.   [49:30] Raising a Healthy Family What shifted for Emilie for her to go from giving birth to 1 child at a hospital to a home birth for her other 3 children. The mission she has to protect her family not only from toxic chemicals but their minds as well and so they've decided to home school their children. What her children are able to do and experience that maybe they wouldn't have in a traditional school setting. Their family's spirituality and why that is a key part of life for them. How Josh stays curious as he continues to father Novah and look after his family. What helps Emilie and her family move forward and make decisions by also being curious and asking questions. Why wellness is a pentagon with financial intelligence being a key part of it. How to take long-term costs of something into priority like nutrition vs. fast food and getting caught up in the moment of what costs less but not necessarily better for you down the road. Why wellness is a state of mind for her and we have so many chances to make good choices.   Power Quotes From The Show What Real Beauty Looks & Feels Like "We want something that makes us look good and feel good. We want to essentially be better and that's why the cosmetic industry is so large. We have a greater desire to look prettier than we do to feel better. Especially with haircare, our diet is so poor that on the exterior, we're seeing the results of years and years of a poor diet which is unhealthy hair, nails, and skin. People want to look like what they see on TV with hair extensions and basically just fake everything. We see this version of a human that isn't even real. A real human has imperfections and that's just the way that we were made but deeper than that we have a society that is more unhealthy than we've ever seen." - Emilie Toups How to Find True Health "Real beauty is health. People who have incredible, vibrant skin and clear eyes that can also think clearly and feel good from real health. So, real health comes from within and it's a food, mind, spiritual, and body connection. When I meet people who have true health, they radiate beauty. Opposite of that when I meet people who are struggling with their health it's never just one thing. It's never just the skincare they're using or the food they're eating or their state of mind, it's all of these things because they're all connected. We are incredible human beings and every single part of the body is connected." - Emilie Toups The Impact of Toxic Chemicals on Skin "Sebum is the natural oil that our skin makes that nourishes and protects it. It is self-regulating and we are constantly washing that important layer on the skin away with soaps and detergents that strip it away which is not good for us. This protective layer is actually an active microbiome of good bacteria and even yeast that needs to stay in balance for healthy, vibrant skin. When that balance is thrown off we have irritated skin, rashes, or dry skin. People have so many skin issues and just having a healthy microbiome on our skin and nourishing it with something that is protective like tallow will solve a lot of these problems." - Emilie Toups Links From Today's Show  Emilie Toups 437 Josh Trent | Death & Rebirth: Why I’m Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force… The Truth About Olaplex's No. 3 Formula and Its Link to Infertility Oil-Free Skincare Lawsuits Pile Up Kourtney Kardashian Lobbies to Get Toxic Ingredients Out of the Beauty Industry Environmental Working Group is a 501(c)(3 "Skin Deep" Revenue of the cosmetic and beauty industry in the United States from 2002 to 2020 Kourtney Kardashian Lobbies to Get Toxic Ingredients Out of the Beauty Industry According to Class Action Lawsuits, These Are the Worst Makeup Brands in America Oil-Free Skincare Lawsuits Pile Up More Trouble For Embattled Skincare Firm Rodan + Fields: Its Insurer Is Suing SkincareSettlement.com ACE Family and Catherine McBroom allegedly sued for $30 million following the fall of the latter’s skincare brand Fair Packaging and Labeling Act: Regulations Under Section 4 of the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act Lawsuit Filed Against Mario Badescu Skin Care Product Line Shop the Wellness Force Store breathwork.io Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Seeking Health - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40' Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Toups & Co.
