Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

I set an intention before I talk to somebody about this and you kind of know professionally when someone wants to change. You need to ask them, 'Are you in the headspace right now to receive advice, or do you still just need to tell me what is going on, and do you just need support at this point in time?' When I've found them to be in a space where they are willing to receive and act upon advice, I do it in a very, very gentle way. I just say, 'Look, when you step out because I know you're just stuck in it and it might be harder to see the big picture and how it's effective, but this is not serving you. I know you have so much potential and if we could just change this one thing, I think it will help you make real progress.' - Autumn Smith Are You Stressed Out Lately?

What are common myths about Apple Cider Vinegar? Why is it actually magical for your daily health routine?   Discover how ACV can amp up your energy, help your weight loss goals, stabilize blood sugar, lower inflammation, and improve gut health all at the same time.   Paleovalley's Apple Cider Vinegar Complex Save 15% with the code 'JOSH'   Introducing a powerful organic blend of apple cider vinegar and four more gut & health supportive superfoods. Paleovalley Apple Cider Vinegar Complex is a powerful aid to get organic apple cider vinegar into your body faster, easier, and without having to tolerate the taste. Lower Blood Sugar Naturally Their Apple Cider Vinegar Complex also contains four additional superfoods shown to support gut health, inflammation reduction, weight loss, and blood sugar stabilization. Unlike other similar products, they use all organic ingredients in order to avoid the pesticides and herbicides so prevalent in our food system today. They use gentle processing in an effort to preserve as many of the unique and fragile nutrients found in apple cider vinegar and these other four superfoods as possible.   Shop the BEST Organic Snacks at PaleoValley Save 15% with the code 'JOSH' PaleoValley's 100% Grass-Fed Beef Sticks Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are the only beef sticks in the USA made from 100% grass fed/grass finished beef and organic spices that are naturally fermented. Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy. PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. 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.

When you take it, it is going to promote not only blood sugar stability but it's also been shown to improve fat burning. The number one thing that I hear from people is that it takes away their cravings so you're using it in a beautiful, beautiful way that's going to help your relationship with food too. As the apple cider vinegar complex promotes satiety in your body; it makes you feel fuller longer. There's also research on how you can use it on the skin and its impact on cholesterol. The list goes on and on." - Autumn Smith Naturally Improve Blood Sugar "As a teenager, I would often be on this blood sugar roller coaster. At that time, I had no idea it was profoundly affecting my mood. Fortunately, I was able to stabilize that and once I started studying health, I realized unstable blood sugar will also actually increase your risk for pretty much every degenerative chronic disease possible. It can lead to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, and even more. However, if you use apple cider vinegar or something similar to bring your blood sugar stability back to normal, you will have this incredible wealth of bandwidth all of a sudden. The benefits are so powerful; you will have more energy, vitality, and will even sleep better." - Autumn Smith Being One with Mother Earth "In our modern world, we think there's a pill for every ill but that's not the answer we should be looking for. Here at Paleovalley, our products like our Apple Cider Vinegar Complex and beef and turkey sticks are about sharing the beautiful wisdom that exists between nature and our bodies. Even though we have evolved using that intelligence, we have also become very disconnected from the planet. Our products like the ACV Complex focus on trying to help people come back to that. We look at the wisdom of Mother Earth and we just bring the highest quality ingredients from our planet into a version that people can use every day." - Autumn Smith Links From Today's Show  352 Autumn Smith: How To Heal Your Brain With Food  Paleovalley's Apple Cider Vinegar Complex Paleovalley's Beef & Turkey Sticks The #1 Nutrient to Boost Your Mental Health 135 Autumn Smith: The Truth About Food And Mental Health ‎Optimize Paleo Podcast by Paleovalley Paul Chek | All Is God 405 Tim Corcoran 384 Shawn Stevenson 364 Alison Armstrong 293 Dr. Jade Teta 397 Kara Collier 336 Joe Sheehey 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 Paleovalley Instagram Facebook Twitter Autumn Smith Instagram Facebook About Autumn Smith Autumn Fladmo Smith has been a health enthusiast her entire life. She began her academic career with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and a minor in dance from the University of Montana. Upon graduation, Autumn danced professionally while becoming a certified yoga instructor.  Hoping to combine her love of dance with her passion for health, Autumn became a celebrity fitness trainer with Tracy Anderson, most notably completing a world tour with Jennifer Lopez. While working as a fitness trainer, Autumn could see that exercise alone was not enough for many of her clients to achieve the radiant health they worked so hard to achieve. Meanwhile, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and anxiety continued to plague her personal health, starting in adolescence. Autumn's Mission These frustrations further ignited her passion and interest in the study of holistic nutrition. Through self-guided research, she and her husband, Chas, healed her IBS with the paleo diet.  She then studied with the Institute for the Psychology of Eating to become a Certified Eating Psychology Coach and Hawthorn University where she obtained a Masters in Holistic Nutrition. In 2013, she founded Paleovalley with her husband and brother-in-law. Paleovalley’s mission is to disseminate excellent nutritional information and organic food products with 100 million people worldwide. Autumn's commitment to health reached new heights last year following the birth of their son, Maverick.

One of the great teachings that I've received from the great Daoist and Chinese medical masters who taught me was the Jing energy which is black kidney energy and the battery pack of your life. This is the energy that drives us and gives us energy in the 12th round, 13th round, 14th and 15th round like Mohammed Ali versus the first round. Now, the first round is your Chi - that is your firepower and how you mobilize your immune system. Chi is how you mobilize your energy quickly but Jing is the long-term power and that is a kidney energy. - David Avocado Wolfe   Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Power Quotes From The Show Big Pharma's Strategy To Manipulate Our Free Will "For our freedom of health and sovereignty, we need to realize that we're under a Big Pharma takeover right now and they're using that weapon against us. In past ages, it was a military strategy and they've transformed it to be Big Pharma focused now. In order to not be hit with the karma of killing, maiming, destroying, and all of the things that come with a 'war' or 'tyranny,' instead of that they're trying to get you to agree to everything. Once they get you to agree to it, then it's your fault and the karma or the burden is off of them. That's spiritually what they're trying to do and that's what we call lesser magic: They'll tell you what they're going to do, then they'll get you to do it on your own free will rather them forcing you to do it."  - David Avocado Wolfe The Presence of Food, Superfoods, Herbalism, and Fasting In Your Life "Your medicine is always there; it has always been in front of you during your whole life. So, whatever is growing outside of your front door - let's say dandelions and thistles - there's a lot of those plants in front of people's homes because they're toxic and it's a sign that a person has a toxic liver. It's nature's way of telling you it's time to cleanse and heal your liver. Throughout our lifetimes, when we're a baby and young we need mostly food with a little bit of superfoods and herbalism. As time goes on, it becomes more about the food then superfoods then still the herbalism as a growing category. Eventually, when you get to my age in your 50s, it's all about the herbalism. I don't need food, I can fast - I should be fasting and I do that a lot." - David Avocado Wolfe The New Freedoms of 2022 "In 2022 I see a huge awakening happening. We will have real freedom; freedom of thought, freedom of media, and the freedom to move around. Instead of combating that which is the old system, we're just going to displace it by building a new one and that's what we're doing right now. It will be more freedom than we've ever known - it's epic and I am so charged by it. People are waking up and they're realizing what this means for our world." - David Avocado Wolfe Links From Today's Show M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Store - Save on our fave health products!

We need to stop believing that doing the right thing is expensive or will cut into your profits. Doing the right thing on a global scale will always make you more wealthy. I think that's true in any part of your life and I'd say relationship is the one area that we make the most mistakes in because we don't value relationships for what they're really capable of doing. We have very surfacy relationships and we're not trained into sacred, holy relationship at any level - friendship, marriage - we take these very surfacy versions of them. So, when we start to think about sacred commerce, I think it's time for us to maybe put in the words, 'sacred value,' again. Let's put sacred value back into everything. - Zach Bush MD Are You Stressed Out Lately?

The ION* path was first laid in 2012 when an obscure soil science article showed Dr. Zach Bush, Founder and CEO, a family of carbon molecules capable of partnering with the human body. Already primed with a passion for finding root-cause solutions to human health problems, Dr. Zach and team set off to better define how we support the microbiome - our foundation of wellness. The answer didn't lie in the probiotics industry, but through our bodies’ innate drive to heal and thrive. The domino effect of good health, they found, was a function of supporting, not supplementing.

Why the results we see in the collapse of consumerism, capitalism corruption, and abuses of different cultures can be traced back to colonial times. Unpacking what Natural Law is and how it can be applied to our modern society. Why it was the Iroquis who really helped write the salient points of the Declaration of Independence. The bizarre reality that the money that moves in and out of our country is blood money. 405 Tim Corcoran How we can manage the dichotomy between people that are suffering financially but need help with their health vs how we can make a profit as a health company or organization and actually serve more people. Zach's various companies and how they are organized to create profit and pump it back down to finding and healing the root cause of various issues like with Farmer's Footprint. Farmer's Footprint M*Clinic The Journey of Intrinsic Health Project Biome Bio Capital Partners The immense amount of waste that our economy is creating (especially sugar cane) and how Zach's companies are working to offset that and make conscious change happen. Why doing the right thing for the world is not expensive or will cut into your company's profits; doing the right thing on a global scale will always make you more wealthy.   [33:00] Making Commerce Sacred Again What it looks like and feels like to be part of sacred commerce. Why it's important not to have "ownership" over anything but have your hands wide open and all the Universe to play through us with sacred commerce. How the Universe heard and helped Zach during a difficult time has he transitioned out of academia to a higher calling with his life. The intense environment Zach worked in academics researching cancer as his small office was surrounded by refrigerators holding tumor specimens and essentially death. Why spiritual enlightenment doesn't take a process, it takes a heart, surrendering, and being open to what the Universe can give you. Zach's take on consciousness and why there's no thing as rising human consciousness because consciousness is an access point to all knowledge in the universe.   [39:30] Surrendering and Answering the Universe's Call 429 Danielle LaPorte Why hope, joy and real love are often misportrayed as a feeling but it's really a state of being. The fact that the feeling of love only lasts about 7 seconds before it fizzles out and then we have to rekindle that feeling because it takes up so much neurological effort to create it. How we can step away from our emotional brain and step into a state of existence to access vibrational states of hope, joy, and love. The power of silence, micro naps, and sanskrit soundtracks to help Zach access the vibration of stillness and open his heart to be willing to answer the Universe's call. Zach's various life transitions in the last 10 years and how he's had to let go of a lot of things to help him grow. The minimalistic life Zach now leads living in a log cabin that he built with his son and why it's more than enough for him. What Zach had to give up during CV19 over the last year to stay true to himself and stop judging himself. Why the fabric of everything is not love, the fabric of everything is beauty and when you see beauty you will experience love. The beauty and love that is within all of us and why fear and death feel ludicrous when you tap into both. 196 Aubrey Marcus How we heal when we recognize the beauty within each other. A powerful exercise you can do right here with Zach and Josh to connect with the beauty within you and others.   [1:07:30] What Happens When We Isolate, "Cancel," and Stop Hearing Each Other How we can work with and transcend from censorship and "you're wrong, I'm right." Remember that if someone is attacking you, then those who are doing the attacking are projecting the hate or lack of love they have for themselves onto you. Zach's reminisce of the night he got the scar on his right cheekbone and why he feels great compassion for the person responsible for it. The tingle Zach feels in his right cheekbone still today whenever he starts to feel sorry for himself or abused by the system to remind him there is no victimhood here, it's humanity struggling to align with a nature that loves it. What happens between us when we simply decide to "cancel" someone and stop communicating with them - it's cancer of society. Why the antidote for every emotional injury lies within the wound yet we keep running away from the wounds we need to heal individually and globally.   [1:22:00] The Extradorinay Journey of Human History & Our Enlightenment Exploring the concept of time and dimensions plus why we've already won at the end of time as we continue to experience human enlightenment shifts like we are now. Why Zach believes we are currently in the biggest human evolutionary shift we've ever experienced right now. Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot The questions we've asked and how we've grown with our questions since we realized that there is so much out there in the universe than just our planet. Exploring how incredible the human body is and the fact that we are basically walking ecosystems of intelligence and sensory processing systems for all life on the planet. How we can let go of shame around feeling "I am not good enough," "I am not doing enough." Zach's deep US history roots going all the way back to Daniel Boone, his distant relations with the Bush politicians, and connections to other politicians such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Why it hurt the US when our Founding Fathers left the Founding Mothers' voices out of the Declaration of Independence.   [1:33:30] Building Community on a Grander Scale How we can stop getting in constant work loops and bring community back into our lives. Why Zach constantly seeks out community every single day. How conversation helps Zach let go of stress of the day and open his heart. Zach's own financial difficulties trying to run a clinic in rural Virginia and how it took a toll on both him and his family. The moment Zach surrendered this mission with the clinic and why it was a necessity for him. 364 Alison Armstrong How community can help you step up to your highest potential. Why your vision, dreams, and goals cannot work unless you have a community behind you. What wellness means to him now, 1 year after his last interview on Wellness Force. Eckhart Tolle   Power Quotes From The Show The Devolution of Our Food System "When we start to think about value systems, we need to ask ourselves: Are we in a state of scarcity or abundance? What do we really value? Are we valuing life behind something that we're consuming? Is that the food we're eating? Are we going to start to eat more conscientiously? Or are we going to keep eating things that are wrapped in layers of cellophane, plastic, and metal or are we going to start to have reverence for fruits, vegetables, and the animals that we kill? Are we going to start to have reverence again for the humans that work in our food system?" - Zach Bush MD   Spiritual Awakening Takes a Willing Heart "A spiritual awakening doesn't take a process, it takes a willing heart. If you just become willing for a second, the universe will show up for you so quickly, you won't be able to believe it. It doesn't take effort; it takes surrender. It's the opposite of effort - just let go of all of your beliefs of what it's going to take to become conscious. We are players in this beautiful, symphonic dance of life in the universe and humanity has this opportunity to surrender into that right now."  - Zach Bush MD   Where Does Hope Come From? "When we step away from the amygdala and from the emotional brain to start stepping into a state of existence, that's where we can find the vibrational states of joy, peace, and hope. They're not something that needs to be manufactured or conjured up - you're simply tuning into a frequency and it happens to be hope." - Zach Bush MD   Links From Today's Show  Wellness Force Programs Zach Bush MD ION* Intelligence of Nature 345 Zach Bush MD: Humanity, Consciousness & CV19> 362 Zach Bush MD: Saving The Soil, Saving Humanity What Is Wellness?

The question has gone from, 'How do you want to feel'? to 'What do you want to embody?' because feelings really come from the unconscious - from the subconscious. We want to embrace those feelings; we don't want to overidentify with the feelings because we are not our feelings. Your happiness, or your sadness, or your sorrow cannot take you out of the game of enlightenment... ...I am not my misery; I am a soul having this experience and these clouds called emotions are coming and going. I'm going to look at them and love them but I'm not going to be the rain cloud; I'm going to be the sky. - Danielle LaPorte Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Her personal healing journey with religion and why she decided to leave Catholicism. The mission she is on now to know God's perfect love and to be that perfect love. How we misuse technology and it can disconnect us from the heart. The dangerous territory we are entering with immorality, playing God, and separating from true consciousness through technology.   [17:30] Healing the Offended Ego Understanding the difference between good technology and ones like Metaverse and Oculus that are trying to steer us away from love, harmony, and connection. How suffering wakes us up and helps us be aware of what is truly happening around us. The fact that humans and our planet have been suffering for decades yet our focus is on other areas that don't help but continue to hurt us. Why the pain that the world is suffering now is actually a call for us to forgive and take care of each other. Ask yourself this: What would your life look like if you forgave everybody? The fact that we're all going to suffer at some point along our life journeys but we get to choose how we approach that suffering based on how we see ourselves. How we can handle moments when there is a power struggle or conflict between you and another person or group. Why she is currently working on her ego and helping it not feel so offended plus what you can do if you find yourself in a similar situation. The fact that forgiveness is actually more about asking for it and giving ourselves forgiveness rather than telling someone that you forgive them.   [29:00] Facing Our Own Tyranny & Holding Space for Sacred Anger Exploring the needs of other people and how we show up depending on if we're more healed, healed, or not healed. The different levels of healing, backgrounds, and purposes we see in relationships. How to be the counter-balance in a war by choosing peace. Why it hurts us to rile up and attack another person because you then become what you're fighting vs standing up for love, compassion, and inclusivity. How we can face our own tyranny and the violence we have against ourselves and other people. What we can do to shift our mindset and actions to help us live a more meaningful life and be of service to the world. How we could have used the CV19 experience to be there for one another and focus on our health and wellness but it just divided us even further. The fact that wisdom has nothing to do with intelligence; intelligence can be an ego play that is setting us back. Creating a space for sacred anger as we work on being better people in our modern world. Why anger is only sacred if it's including the benefit of others. When it's "eye for an eye," anger - it's not sacred, it's profane.   [42:00] Drawing Up Your Own Desire Map Her book, The Desire Map, and how her own map has profoundly changed since she wrote the book 5 years ago. The mission she has to help people recognize that their feelings matter and create goals with their souls. How we can allow what emotions we want to feel be our driving force for completing goals in life. The power of showing up and doing something good for someone every day no matter what kind of day we're having even if it's a horrible one. How we can embrace our feelings but not over-identify with them because we are not our feelings. What higher consciousness actually is and how to tap into and embody it.

The evolution of her business and why her mission has changed from The Desire Map to Heart Centered. Why Heart Centered is what we need now for our modern times to help us hold polarity. How simplicity can be a spiritual practice as we work from the outside in to let go of things or relationships that no longer serve us. Why we don't have to check in all of the time with the people in our lives to let them know that we love them. Danielle LaPorte on Spotify The fact that it's inevitable that we're going to be disliked by some people and we have to be okay with that plus how we can cultivate courage around this. Why it's important to not take praise or rejection personally. The fact that the negative thoughts we have about other people are a reflection of how we see ourselves. What it means in Danielle's words to live a heart-centered life. Embracing the unique life journey you're on now and accepting what you're being called to do with the life and gifts you have. How different opportunities and outcomes occur because your soul is trying to get you to expand in a different way. Why life hacking and biohacking are not the same as being heart centered. Oprah - Mantras That Get You Through Your Toughest Days   [1:13:30] Finding Meaning In Your Own Life Exploring what helps Danielle feel most fulfilled and find meaning in life. How to tap into what makes you feel good and what brings you feelings of love. The anxious thoughts, panic attacks, and Dark Night of the Soul journey that Danielle has experienced in her own life.

What plant tools from Mother Nature she uses consistently in her life including essential oils and why it's a big part of her wellness regime. 418 Nick Berry Why meditation is a must in her daily practice no matter what. Her advice for meditative practice and why she has found it most beneficial to have 1 practice ideally before the sun comes up for no more than 20 minutes and then she moves into prayer. Why she is currently taking a break from reading any spiritual material because it was making her anxious. Adyashanti Jiddu Krishnamurti Mooji Danielle LaPorte - The Heart As Your Power Source - Commune   Power Quotes From The Show Knowing God's Perfect Love "My prayer to God now is, 'I want to know your perfect love and I want to be that perfect love.' To do that, first, you have to believe that perfect love exists and that it's possible. I don't think you have to believe that you're worthy. Does perfect love exist? I think conceptually we all believe it does but does it exist for you? If it exists for you can everyone else wake up to it existing? That's my current shift with God and creation; that I am perfectly loved." - Danielle LaPorte   Humanity's Fantastic Threshold of Awakening "I’m not trying to save the world anymore. Not because I think that my actions don’t matter—every action by every one of us counts. And I’m not giving up on the world because I believe it’s a lost cause—we’re at a fantastic threshold of awakening.⁣⁠" - Danielle LaPorte   Exploring Sacred Anger "The energy of the heart is inclusive; so, anger is only sacred if it is including the benefits of others. So, if it is vengeance to right the wrong and has an 'eye for an eye' dynamic, it's not sacred; it's profane. If your anger's energy is on behalf of humanity and it helps bring justice with something like clean drinking water, all children are protected, and everyone has medical freedom - that is sacred anger. If your attitude is, 'You gotta go down so that I feel justified,' that is not sacred." - Danielle LaPorte   Links From Today's Show  M21 Wellness Guide Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Wellness Force Programs Heart Centered Membership The Heart Centered Facilitator Program The Desire Map 332 John Wineland Paul Chek | All is God Eckhart Tolle 418 Nick Berry Adyashanti Jiddu Krishnamurti Mooji Danielle LaPorte - The Heart As Your Power Source - Commune Fighting for your joy.

Genetic testing should actually empower the individual versus scare them. Once you dedicate time to learn how to interpret StrateGene®, determine the direction that you want to go with it - use it as a map. StrateGene® isn't an answer; it's a roadmap. At Seeking Health, we don't enable you - we provide you with information that allows you to determine where you want to focus on your health, how you want to do it, and then what tools you need in order to do it. You have to put the work into it but if you know your genetic variations and that certain environmental influences really affect your genetic expression either for the worse or for the better, that's extremely empowering. - Dr. Ben Lynch Are You Stressed Out Lately?

The Truth Will Set You Free Power Quotes From The Show The Detrimental Effects of Over Exercising "I always say that 'health' is a four-letter word spelled 'w-o-r-k' and you have to be able to understand what empowers your genes to work efficiently and what makes your genes work harder. Exercise is phenomenal but if you work too hard than your genes are getting too dirty and they can't handle it and they start calling on other genes to support it and then they also get overworked and overburdened and you start breaking down." - Dr. Ben Lynch Dangers of Undiagnosed Histamine Intolerence "Histamine testing is inherently not very useful and that is why histamine tolerance is so undiagnosed. People literally struggle for decades; on average it goes undiagnosed for a minimum of 6 years. So people are struggling with all of these histamine-associated issues like sensitivity to Wi-Fi or perfumes and excessive irritability, difficulties falling asleep, headaches, exercise-induced asthma, eczema, psoriasis, diarrhea, chronic sinus issues, bloody noses, or ringing in your ears." - Dr. Ben Lynch Having a 'Nature First' Mindset "Humans need to always remember 'Nature first.' Anytime that you get stuck somewhere in your health, you need to come right back to the basics. Take off your shoes and socks and walk in nature. Walk on a forest floor, not grass that has been sprayed with chemicals. Go out in nature on a trail or step into the ocean or a lake. Just immerse yourself in Mother Nature and breathe that air; hopefully in a clean environment because that's where we came from, that's where we're going to end up again, and that's where we should be each day." - Dr. Ben Lynch Links From Today's Show  StrateGene® - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Seeking Health - Get 10% off of your order with the code 'JOSH' 353 Dr. Ben Lynch CV19 Truth Series: Protecting Your Health Freedom Dirty Genes by Dr. Ben Lynch Dr. Bruce Lipton 140 Chris Kresser Dopesick Official Trailer | Hulu Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker 297 Mike Mutzel: The Truth About Fasting 380 Mike Mutzel | Syndemic vs. Pandemic: What The Health Do We Do Now?

Trauma is just the word that we are using right now to describe this phenomenon but this has been happening as far back as we can trace recorded history. The Mystics in India had a different name for it and I truly think that when they are speaking about attachment, they're speaking about trauma. Our attachment to something, our attachment to the memory of the past, attachment to the future, our ability to be with ourselves to sit in stillness and experience our bodies. It's all the same thing... ...So, what do we have to do? Slowly and methodically address the body's memory and help it to create a new form. Help it to discover itself. As soon as I notice that I am out of balance, my body will bring me back into balance because it's natural. - Will Rezin Are You Stressed Out Lately?

How our trauma prevents us from experiencing the miracle of being alive. Unpacking what our first line of defense is even before we get into freeze, fight, or flight mode. Why it's a survival mechanism to say "yes" to something even when we don't want to because we're afraid of what might happen if we say, "no."   [10:30] How to Prevent Trauma from Lingering Within Us The fact that we are way more animal than we are psyche and Will explains why.

Why tapping into the body's memories can help us grow and help it create a new form. How the body will naturally bring us back into balance when we need it The body's self-righting mechanism that is always working to keep us balanced and sometimes that looks like significant dysfunction as it works overtime to help us.

Somatic Experiencing International Directory: Somatic Experiencing International   Power Quotes From The Show The Threat of Trauma to Humanity's Evolution "We're not broken, we've had to adapt as we evolve to our environment but literally the largest problem that humanity has ever faced in its history - the cause of all other problems is our unprocessed trauma because it prevents us from experiencing our aliveness and it desensitizes us to life, to other humans, to our environment so we walk around disconnected, not really feeling that aliveness, the world, ourselves, or each other and what does that lead to? Destruction of the environment, destruction of ourselves, torture, and war. We can point to all of the other characteristics that might spring up out of that but all of these are symptoms and we're trying to put out of the fire but we're not addressing the volcano that's causing the fire." - Will Rezin   Move at the Pace of Nature "We put a lot of our faith into something; whether that may be a drug, an experience, or working with a certain kind of practitioner assuming it will give us the answer we need for the rest of our lives. No. Move at the pace of nature. Life is an ongoing journey of unfolding, rearranging, and growing. There is no place to arrive. There is only a continuous movement of change and if we let go of the idea that something will help us arrive or give us the answer, then it might give us the opportunity to actually change." - Will Rezin   Shaking Off Living Memories of Trauma "We are far more animal than we are psyche. Movement like dancing discharges the extra energy that we are carrying and helps prevent any trauma from happening. Trauma is the lingering of it; it's that living memory. We can prevent any memory from living on by allowing our body what it needs to do instead of inhibiting it. If i stop myself from experiencing an emotion, what happens to that emotion? Emotions are energy in motion but if I stop that process then it becomes stored within. Over time if I suppress feelings of anger constantly, I will become depressed. Depression is anger turned inward. It's an unexpressed and unprocessed survival response." - Will Rezin   Links From Today's Show Enter the Wellness Force $3,000 Holiday Giveaway HERE!

So Juraj went to the physician as we've all been directed to do in our lives, and he was given pharmaceuticals to treat the symptoms. When he inquired as to the length of time he should be taking them, his doctor said he take the pills for the rest of his life. A life sentence of pharmaceutical drugs was not something he was satisfied or would accept. Juraj's Biohacking Journey So Juraj started researching biohacking which led him way down the rabbit hole of EMFs otherwise known as electromagnetic frequencies and discovered the Somavedic. He ended up joining the company after the device changed his life and he's now the CEO and leader. There are a ton of EMF blocking devices out there that claim to protect you from EMFs, and honestly the research is pretty shady, but Somavedic approaches the EMF issue much much differently. Somavedic's Impact Somavedic is a functional and broadly accessible frequency therapy device harmonizing the negative effects of EMF on our bodies by leveraging the principle of controlled release of energy from minerals, combining an Eastern medicine approach with frequency therapy technology. When you look at the true research validating the properties of minerals and the effect of their specific vibrations on the ambient environment and the human body, not to mention the thousands of years that crystals have been utilized for a variety of purposes and healing modalities.

The vertical line that Alyson lives from: Mother Earth (Rock), Great Spirit (Star), and from her Heart (Shaman). Power that comes from being open and willing for the Divine to guide you. Why it's easier to trust in the Divine as it takes time for us to build great trust within ourselves. The fact that you don't necessarily need plant medicine to go inwards and heal yourself.

How to tune in and return back to yourself to change the world rather than focusing on what others are doing. Sacred Fire, Savanna Supernuts & Getting Down to Earth with Zac Efron with Darin Olien   Power Quotes From The Show The Beauty of Divine Intervention "When you go through the divine intervention where you have been resisting the truth of your being, the truth of your traumas, and you have been living with the veil over your head so tightly covering your third eye and living so tightly shrouded in ego and denial - once all of those systems get obliterated and you are forced to see the truth of yourself, you can't ever go back to untruth and denial any more. It can be uncomfortable but it's worth it because now you can navigate that whole spectrum of emotions and feelings. You also learn that once you get yourself through that portal of initiation, it is a magnificent process. I cannot go back to denial because it put me on a path of being unaligned with my purpose and everything else in my life." - Alyson Charles   The Planetary Practice of Shamanism "Shamanism holds within it the truths across all time and all ways of both planet and all of the universes. It truly is a planetary practice that is about oneness and acceptance and unconditional love. Thus, it is an invitation for all beings." - Alyson Charles   How to Reveal Your Core Animal Power & Guides "To call upon your core animal, the one that has been assigned to you for your entire life, it's a very sacred meeting and if you haven't done that yet my recommendation is to do a true shamanic journey which comes with Animal Power. You can do the journey at different times in your life depending on what you are going through and if you need a certain type of guidance, another animal will come into your life for however long you need it. If you have a meditation practice already, you can simply sit in meditation and call for the animal that wants to most serve you in your life right now but everyone receives the message differently. You might visualize or hear its name spoken in your ear. Then go to Animal Power and use it as your reference guidebook." - Alyson Charles Links From Today's Show Animal Power by Alyson Charles Ceremony Circle Podcast 285 Luke Storey | Plants & Breathwork: Welcome To The Jungle 361 Luke Storey: Relationships, Consciousness, & Coming Home To Yourself Abraham Hicks Soul Callings & Earthly Initiations: The Path of the Woman Shaman with Marie Mbouni Boyd Varty Solocast | A Victim of Intellectualization & The Wisdom of The Heart Sacred Fire, Savanna Supernuts & Getting Down to Earth with Zac Efron with Darin Olien Field Tripping: Great Spirit Peyote | Alyson Charles Connecting With Your Power Animals Through Modern Day Shamanism with Alyson Charles What is Shamanism?

Since then, her ability to share ancient sacred wisdom and divine energy and be a powerful catalyst for change ignited a global phenomenon. Forbes has called her both “a leading Shaman for expanding others into their full gifts and power” and “a full-fledged guide into your psyche,” Oprah Magazine named Alyson’s guided Shamanic journey "a top meditation to try," Huffington Post championed her as “a top limit-breaking female founder,” Dazed Magazine named her “one of the top seven wellness accounts on Instagram” and Marie Claire Magazine selected her as the cover story and "the next big thing." Alyson's Connection to Source & Great Mother Earth Alyson devotes her life to living by the calls and directives of Source, spiritual immersions and expansions. She preserves the ancient wisdom practices and traditions. All while simultaneously honoring the precise way her Earth mission is to work in these modern times. Alyson’s shamanic medicine and calling works directly with the wisdoms of Great Mother Earth and Great Spirit/Source (where the name she was instructed to use, Rock-Star Shaman, comes from). She honos the sacred truths of our planet and supporting the preservation of cultures and rituals (from astral and Earth) that unite humans more deeply with their Divine power within, oneness with all that is, our planet and the unseen realms. Alyson is often called to share these teachings and transmission to very large, mass audiences, through various media channels and to the mainstream in powerfully creative ways. This allows the energies to go to places that perhaps need it the most. She has been a leading pioneer in this work, taking it to places it has never been before.    

When we start to look at masculinity, even in its essence, it's subjective to us. When we talk about men being masculine and embodying masculinity - what does that really mean? In my personal opinion, I think that means to find what it is that resonates with you in your heart and in your soul and then be that man every day. Be that man in every moment. - Johnny Elsasser   Are You Stressed Out Lately?

The benefits of getting curious about our triggers rather than letting negative emotions control our thoughts and behaviors.   Power Quotes From The Show Letting Go of Our Anger "Men are carrying around this level of anger and judgment because they're taught that men are really supposed to be like that. They're taught this version of masculinity that if you're someone like a mechanic and you're grinding every day then it's okay to come home, have a beer, not talk to your family, and to be angry when someone wants something from you. Men like that are taught that it's okay to be resentful and put themselves above other men when they don't meet their standards. We still have men today that are promoting that way of being but how is that serving you, the community, or the betterment of the next generation if you're still stifling all of these things that are coming up with you and your only exposure to it is through anger in your actions and words?" - Johnny Elsasser   What It Means To Embody Masculinity "The embodiment of masculinity in my eyes is finding and tapping into both the masculine and feminine to balance them out and so that you're aligned with who you are and you're also teaching the next generation of men what it looks like to really embrace both sides of the fence. An embodied man is somebody who can sit here, be with himself and his demons but not project them, not be a victim, and not let his anger wound others." - Johnny Elsasser   The Mirror of Truth "Strip away all of the material things in your life; strip away the people you love from your life and what do you look like? If you aren't happy with that person, then how are you well? How do you treat yourself psychologically - what do you say to yourself in those moments when you're alone? How do you treat yourself when you have a success in your life? Do you celebrate anything? Do you give yourself grace when you falter? If you can't look in the mirror and say, "I love that man," or "I love that woman staring back at me," then I don't feel like you've hit that complete wellness for who you are. I just want people to be themselves in this world because in all reality, nothing outside of ourselves means anything if we aren't well and we aren't centered in who we are each day." - Johnny Elsasser Links From Today's Show  The Art of Masculinity Podcast The SAVAGE System The Wild Man Experience 353 Dr. Ben Lynch 344 Leslie Manookian Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties by Tom O'Neill Garrett J.
