Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

To reach your soul's potential, you must grow through pain. When we resist growth, we suffer. When we remain emotionally and spiritually immature, we resist and fight what is; we take stances, we create and continue to manifest duality and programs of separation. Growth really means to drop into your heart space and get out of your mind because thinking ruins everything. - Rachel Fiori   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 396 Mystical Therapist, Spiritual Teacher, and Creator Of Masters of Self University, Rachel Fiori, shares spiritual and practical tools to help raise your emotional IQ, explains how to fulfill your unique soul's potential plus will guide you to your human spirit integration point and how to create sacred relationships from that space.   How can you stop overthinking and running old programs in your head to fully drop into your heart?   By the end of this episode you will gain the first steps for self mastery of the emotional, behavioral, and mental programs that show up in your psyche.   Belcampo Farms Get 20% off of your first Belcampo order with the code WELLNESSFORCE Belcampo was founded with a purpose: to create meat that’s good for people, planet and animals.

Belcampo is the pioneer of hyper-sustainable, organic, grass-fed and -finished, Certified Humane meats, broths, and jerkies. The company is on a mission to revolutionize the meat industry for the well-being of people, the planet, and animals by farming meat the right way – with Certified Humane, regenerative, and climate-positive practices, which means it’s better for you, the planet and the animals.

Her mission to help people master life and love. Breaking down her definition of the word, 'potential.' Why so many of us have been brought up to believe that our potential is how successful we can be and why that's simply not true. The fact that we limit ourselves when we only focus on success and how much money we can make. Unpacking the one critical spiritual law that will help you break past limitations when you integrate it into your life:You are spirit but you are also human. Breaking down the differences between the human and the spiritual potential. How pain compares to suffering and how the soul's potential grows through pain.   [14:00] Unpacking Our Emotional, Mental, and Behavior Programs The friction she felt in her heart and soul while working as an occupational therapist and how she wanted to help people. Her curiosity wondering why some people heal but others don't or won't. 277 Christine Hassler  Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler How her moral ethics ultimately clashed with work in western medicine and she decided to leave and begin her own business. The power in trusting in the Universe even if you don't understand why things are happening the way they are now. Why you should ask yourself what you're meant to learn, how you're supposed to grow, and how you're going to get through difficult moments when they happen. 213 Bonnie Kelly Why it's key to understand how you show up in the world, your triggers, and your behaviors during a personal development journey. The fact that you will never heal anything if you only focus on fixing your behavior programs and dive deep into the emotional and mental ones. Byron Katie   [25:00] What A Spiritual Awakening Experience Is Closing the gap between knowing and doing. Why wisdom, not knowledge, is power. How humanity has lost divine responsibility and what you can do to gain that back. Why it's absolute divine ignorance to believe that you can have anything that you want at the snap of your fingers. Breaking down what a true spiritual awakening is, why it is a lifelong process, and why it is not for the faint of heart. What a soul contract is and why it's different than the concept of free will and choice. How our higher soul has chosen certain life experiences for us before we were even born so that we can learn specific skills, thoughts, and feelings. Why we're self-sabotaging ourselves when we let the fear of success and programs of low self-worth hold us back in the comfort zone. How we deny reality and essentially half of who we are when we embrace the idea of "good vibes only" and don't embrace our emotional pain.   [40:00] Generational Pains & Inherited Programming The impact of her father dying when she was 5 years old and her mother remarrying a physician who was extraordinarily abusive emotionally, psychologically, and sometimes physically. Why we shouldn't take other people's programs personal, even our own parents, because it has nothing to do with us. How our programs can lead us to reenact our own childhoods without us even realizing it such as the example of Rachel's stepfather. Alan Watts What steps you can take with her program to delete old programs and recognize your triggers. Why she seldomly takes clients who haven't had past therapy sessions or guidance because they're not ready for the real work to heal. The fact that relationships aren't here to make you happy; they're to make you more conscious. Why we'll never be able to offer healthy love to another human unless we love and accept ourselves first.   [50:00] Why Our Triggers Are Gifts How triggers can help guide us because they show us where in our lives we don't feel free. Josh's own past triggers and how he has healed what has haunted him. How to check in with yourself and show up in the world as the person you want to be in your life. Why you're not wrong for being where you with your life and neither is anyone else; no judgement. The importance of getting rid of duality in our nation and opposing people because those are programs of separation. How a global 'Dark Night Of The Soul' is occurring on this planet and the pandemic is part of that to show us where we are at standing on opposite sides pointing the finger in judgement instead of facing each other and taking a step towards a loving balance. Why our society is at the age of a preschooler when you consider all of the harm we do to each other or could do with the nuclear weapons we have created. Unpacking both karma (collective and personal) and the law of attraction. Her take on the law of attraction and how the phrase has become such a cliché. Why we usually think of karma as something negative but it can be the universe giving you the next challenge that will take you deeper and higher into yourself.   [58:00] The Space Between The Head & The Heart The pure fact that our thoughts, our emotions, our behavioral actions and we ourselves are nothing but energy. Exploring the programs that we are running through our minds when we judge someone else such as if they're wearing a face mask for example. How to get to zero karmic debt by opening your heart to loving everything and everyone. How exactly generational thoughts, patterns, and beliefs are passed down by the way that we are raised and that is not the same thing as karma. Power vs Force by David R. Hawkins Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by David R. Hawkins The fact that no matter who we are on this planet, our minds are "bat-shit crazy" and never meant to be the CEO but the heart is. Why we will never experience actual bliss that is in the core center of our heart when we are not anchored in it. What it means to allow the power and the light that you are to grow and expand in the face of anything when you are connected to heart energy. The guidance that you will receive from her program, Masters Of Self University. Differences between the heart chakra and the heart space. The steps she takes people through to get connected to their heart space and energy to heal and deprogram.   [1:14:00] Are You Willing & Devoted To Do The Work? Exploring the dark side to healing such as through tools like plant medicine. Bad experiences Josh has gone through during and after an Ayahuasca ceremony which has been a beautiful lesson for him. Why it' so important that the people who go through her program are divinely responsible, awakened, educated, and trained enough for the inner work process. Ego Is The Enemy by Ryan Holiday Steven Pressfield  Dr. V. Vernon Woolf and Holodynamics Why so many people believe that the ego is the enemy but is it really? Rachel's view on the ego and why she refers to it as the shadow self, low vibrational mental programs, and inner child wounds. Why Rachel believes that the ego can be our best teacher and you will not authentically heal and be more conscious if you do not move through darkness. What mystic spiritualism really is: being a realist as you dissolve all the allusions of the ego.   [1:22:45] How To Mystically Parent Yourself Breaking down how you can mystically parent yourself through your healing journey. Paul Chek | All Is God 390 Hamilton Souther Why she believes both that things happen for a reason and that experiences are divinely guided. How our programming makes us reenact our childhood over and over again until we fully understand them. The universal truth that weak people don't heal and how they can get stronger so that they may heal. How to start learning the universal divine truth language and why it doesn't begin with, "My truth is..." Why healing only happens in the presence of love; weak people don't love, they hate, judge, and spiritual bypassing. Why things like meditation are supportive tools and not a waste of time but it's important to know that they are not transformational healing methods. breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   Your Spirit & Human Potential "Live from heart centeredness in the sense that you are so powerful that whatever the universe throws at you, no matter how painful, you will love yourself through it and you will love everything and everyone that comes your way even when it is painful. That is your soul's potential - to spiritual maturate. Your human potential means that you can become so emotionally resilient that no matter what the universe throws at you, you've got it and you're gonna make it through no matter what." - Rachel Fiori   Accept, Love, and Transform Yourself "When you learn how to work with mental, emotional, behavioral programs, you also then learn what your inner child is doing, saying, how it's being activated, and how old you really are when you're being triggered and something of discord is awoken within you. You will learn what all these pieces are at the deepest transformational levels in order to then see them, love them, take divine responsibility for them, and then transform them so that they are no longer a part of who you are." - Rachel Fiori   The Ego Is Your Best Teacher "Your ego is your darkness, your shadow self, that part of you that keeps itself small and doesn't realize what power actually means. What heart centeredness actually means. The ego doesn't like to live in reality, it likes to live in its own made up belief world. The ego is selfish but it's our biggest teacher because we would not embrace, honor, and offer selfless love if we didn't first experience adversity. If you want to awaken, you have to go deep into that ugly truth and do the real work." - Rachel Fiori     Links From Today's Show  Masters of Self University “How to Raise Your Emotional IQ” 277 Christine Hassler  Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler 213 Bonnie Kelly Byron Katie Alan Watts Power vs Force by David R.

Is it possible to have HPA axis abnormalities or low cortisol or low morning cortisol or dysregulated cortisol? Absolutely, that is a real thing but it is fundamentally wrong to claim that adrenal fatigue is the cause or the primary cause or even a common cause of fatigue. It's also fundamentally wrong to claim that adrenal fatigue, the chronic stress leading to low cortisol levels is a real thing - that is also incorrect. You can be exposed to chronic stressors like work or financial stress and even metabolic factors like smoking and over exercising for years or even decades and never get low cortisol levels." - Ari Whitten   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 395 No. 1 Besting Selling Author, Fatigue Specialist, and Founder of The Energy Blueprint, Ari Whitten, shares how to heal your own energy fatigue, breaks down the current dilemma with chronic sickcare in America, lessons he has learned from plant medicine, and what markers are the actual determining factor in what causes fatigue.

What led Ari to become an energy and fatigue specialist and his 'aha' wellness moment. Dr. Joseph Mercola Why he became interested in pursuing a career in natural healthcare rather than western medicine. What he disliked about medical school and why his health began to deteriorate after two years in the program. Why he feels that western medicine is flawed in many different ways with his background in natural health. The fact that many medical students receive basically zero education on nutrition, lifestyle, and root causes of chronic disease. Negative feedback he would receive when he would hint at or suggest educating and giving patients healthy food at the hospital. The high rate of ignorance we see in the western medicine world about the benefits of healthy exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle to heal and prevent illness.   [15:30] The Chronic Sick Care In America How we can avoid being put on chronic sick care or leave the system as quickly as possible. Examples of absurd science from humans who think we can meddle with nature including experiments and technology funded by Bill Gates. The real issue of perception that exists in the world of science including agriculture and healthcare when humans think they are smarter than nature with our technology and chemicals. Why your goal should be to optimize your body's innate capacity for healing and self regeneration if you want to combat fatigue, be healthy, and live a long life. The hard decision he made to finally leave medical school and how that impacted his wellbeing for several years. Fears he had after leaving medical school such as disappointing his family, what if people thought he failed, and what if no one listens to him if he doesn't have the title. His experience becoming a trainer after leaving medical school and later on pursuing a PhD in clinical psychology but then decided he didn't want to be a therapist.   [29:30] Lessons Ari Received From Plant Medicine How, in his unique experience, plant medicine drastically helped his mind with depression and a toxic relationship compared to the talk therapy he was also receiving. Why talk therapy can be extremely beneficial and not all psychological illness is conducive to being treated by psychedelics or plant medicine. His decision to leave studying clinical psychology because he didn't want to be placed in one box for his profession and not be able to practice nutrition if he wished. What lessons Ari received from psychedelics and plant medicine and how those experiences helped heal his depression and expand his consciousness. Dr. Joseph Mercola Joseph Campbell How Ari set aside society's pressure on his career and start following his bliss in teaching people about natural health. Experiences of resistance that he faced as he began to grow the Energy Blueprint community online. Why it takes incredible courage to share your truth and novel ideas out there with the rest of the world. 332 John Wineland Jordan Peterson   [47:30] Creating More Energy At The Cellular Level Breaking down how we can build more energy and cultivate a body that is capable of producing more energy. Ari's own person fatigue experiences in his mid 20s with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and how that led him to explore what natural health has to offer for combating fatigue. Hans Selye (1907–1982): Founder of the stress theory Paul Chek His specific research on adrenal fatigue and what doctors know and don't know about adrenal fatigue. Why conventional medicine is really clueless on adrenal fatigue and how to properly treat it with their four methods: antidepressants, cognitive behavioral therapy, 30 minutes walking a day, and to use stimulants as needed. Exploring what Addison's Disease is and why we shouldn't compare it to adrenal fatigue. His research on fatigue, cortisol levels, and what he has discovered. Adrenal Fatigue: Is It Real? The Hidden Truth About "Adrenal Fatigue" Common thoughts about adrenal fatigue, hormonal changes, and stress that are wrong and outdated. Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert M. Sapolsky Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst Reprint Edition by Robert M. Sapolsky Common Viruses That Can Trigger Chronic Fatigue (CFS)/ Myalgic Encephalomyelitis │The Best Viral Infection Treatment Approach Why fatigue affects us differently depending on outside factors such as work and relationships. Why Stress Causes Fatigue and How To Overcome Stress The fact that people who have disease from lifestyle choices actually have slightly higher cortisol levels than healthy people and thus our adrenal glands don't wear out. Exceptions with autoimmune diseases such as Addison's Disease and its connection to chronic fatigue.   [1:11:00] What Actually Causes Fatigue? What biomarkers are the determining factor of fatigue if cortisol is not the source. The fact that the 50+ studies on the adrenal fatigue theory have all failed to prove that it is true. Why the primary sources that regulate our energy levels are the mitochondria, the brain, and sickness behavior. Dr. Robert Naviaux Unpacking what the cell danger response is and how mitochondria are critical hubs for sensing what is going on in our environments. The two modes of mitochondria based on their environment to either pump out energy or shut down if they detect threats. Dr. Martin Picard on How Stress Affects Your Body (and Your Mitochondria) What sickness behavior is and why one of the fundamental symptoms of it is fatigue. How the human body has evolved to conserve energy to threats by resting and diverting that energy to defending off threats. Metabolic features of chronic fatigue syndrome What the metabolomic panels cover in its biomarker testing for adrenal fatigue and how Dr. Naviaux and his team found that cortisol levels were normal. Why we really overestimate just how much information biomarkers are going to give us about a person's health. The fact that 95% of the time, blood panel tests do not actually identify anything that is abnormal in a person with chronic fatigue. Why lifestyle variables and symptoms are enormous clues as to what is going on with a person's health. What simple steps you can take if you are experiencing chronic fatigue including food and supplements. The Energy Blueprint Supplements 60-Day Energy Blueprint Program 359 Shawn Wells Surfwise trailer breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Creating, Not Gaining, More Energy   "Look inward both literally and metaphorically because the source of energy is your own body's cells. It's not stimulant pills that you take externally or this and that prescription drug. It's how do you build more energy at the cellular level. How you create and cultivate a body that is capable of producing more energy. That's what it's all about." - Ari Whitten   The Unique Impact Between Sleep & Cortisol Levels   "Even if you are healthy and don't have fatigue, just the one factor of being an night owl chronotype and going to bed late at night will dramatically alter your cortisol levels. If you take a group of healthy people who are either morning people or night owls and you look at their cortisol levels and you chart it, those people on average will have cortisol levels that would get them diagnosed by someone who believes in adrenal fatigue as having adrenal fatigue. However, that's not at all what's going on; it's just a function of being a night owl chronotype. That's one factor but circadian rhythm and sleep dysregulation across the board is the single most common reason for HPA axis dysfunction." - Ari Whitten   Exposing America's Sick Care System     "How do we mimic, support, and optimize the natural systems of the human body? It's literally the difference between looking at a disease like diabetes or neurological disease and saying, 'How can we study what biochemical pathway is causing this disease and how can we develop a drug that interrupts that biochemical pathway that will therefore  cure this disease?' which is a paradigm which almost never works to actually cure diseases; 97% of drugs can only address symptoms at best versus the paradigm that says, 'How can we understand the big picture of what are the root causes that led to the development of that condition in the first place, address those causes while understanding that the human body has an innate capacity for self-regeneration and self-healing, and how can we give the right inputs to allow the body to express that?'... ...These are fundamentally different ways of thinking and if somebody's goal is to actually be healthy and energetic and live a long life to avoid developing chronic disease, be on over 15 prescription drugs, and be in and out of the hospital with a terrible quality of life - If you actually want health, energy, and longevity, the goal is to optimize your body's innate capacity for healing and self-regeneration."  - Ari Whitten     Links From Today's Show  Ari Whitten The Energy Blueprint Podcast Dr. Joseph Mercola Joseph Campbell 332 John Wineland Jordan Peterson Hans Selye (1907–1982): Founder of the stress theory Paul Chek Adrenal Fatigue: Is It Real?

There are 3 Pillars to what I personally believe will shift someone's life and what I stand for which are Consciousness, Creativity, and Community. Consciousness brings you to the awareness of new ideas, ways of thinking, and ways of being. Consciousness makes us aware of the choices that are available to us. Creativity is the thing that isn't attached to the result. Creativity is the purest expression of your soul. It is the most healing frequency that you can bring through your body. It's your unadulterated, unfiltered expression and it doesn't have to be tied to how you earn your living but it gets to be part of your life. The third one is community and I think that it's very important for us to have a community that supports us along the way. - Adam Roa    Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 394 Host of the The Deep Dive Podcast as well as Founder of both The C.R.E.A.T.E Community and Surrendered Artists, Adam Roa, explores the masks we wore before COVID-19, the 3 Pillars to being yourself, how to integrate the ego using creative arts, and how he has used his own trauma to propel him forward in life.    Are you experiencing a radical life change or are you craving one?    This podcast episode is divine timing as Adam discusses the power of freewill and manifestation during difficult times.    Belcampo Farms Get 20% off of your first Belcampo order with the code WELLNESSFORCE Belcampo was founded with a purpose: to create meat that’s good for people, planet and animals.

Exploring the "masks" we ourselves wore even before COVID-19. Asking the question, "How often do we really look at, notice, and see people?" Why we crave to be authentic yet at the same time we are putting up our own walls around the truth of how we're feeling with ourselves. The fact that many people cannot openly admit that they are unhappy in their marriage, with their job, or anything else in their lives. Adam's own biggest "mask" covering his authentic self and how he was able to remove it. His struggles in high school not feeling like he was enough to be accepted by his peers. Why he saw high school as a game that he could play and work his way to being popular yet when he got there he never felt different about himself and his insecurities. The fact that many people believe there is an achievement that is going to change their world forever but then all their thoughts, feelings, and insecurities still remain.   [17:30] Is The Life We're "Supposed" To Live A Lie? Why Adam began questioning if everything else in life is a lie (college, career, money, things) if reaching his goal of popularity in high school didn't subdue his insecurities. How he helps people when they get stuck on their own mountaintop of achievement and still feel unfulfilled. Why we're not allowing ourselves, as a society, to even have a moment to give ourselves permission to take off our masks. Society's expectations of men and why you're not "truly a man" if you let your guard down, fail, or show your emotions. 110 Bedros Keuilian The toxicity in telling someone to "man up" and we need to be having more conversations about emotional intelligence, inner work, and just be more vulnerable. Why Adam openly puts himself out there with his insecurities and vulnerability to help other people. Struggles he has faced with depression, being molested at a young age, and being late to puberty. MyIntent Project The power of setting an intent and embracing a side of yourself that you don't give enough love and attention to every day.   [22:00] The 3 Pillars To Being Yourself How we can begin the process of choosing to give ourselves permission to be ourselves. Adam's 3 Pillars to changing your life: Consciousness, Creativity, and Community. How community and having a tribe has changed Adam's life drastically. Why the "game" of life hasn't been designed for us to do it alone but with the support of others. The moment he sold everything he owned to go in a new direction and the challenges he faced in that transition in January 2013. Adam Roa - Why The Law Of Attraction Isn't Working For You Abraham Hicks What happened when he took a deep dive into studying spirituality. Tai Lopez The fact that we are the sum of the 5 people that we spend the most of our time with in life. Unpacking the 1/3 rule: Why you want 1/3 of the people that you spend time with to be those who look up to you, 1/3 to be peers, and 1/3 to be people that you look up to.   [29:30] The Power Of Free Will & Manifestation In Difficult Times 092 Preston Smiles and Alexi Panos His and his former partner's mission for greater self development and how they teamed up with Preston Smiles and Alexi Panos to help facilitate their trainings. The choice he and his former partner made to give away or sell 75% of their belongings as they surrendered to divine intervention and a new way of living life. Why we will always have the choice in how we respond to our circumstances and environment. What steps you can take to move forward, respond, and be resilient when sudden change impacts your life.

Even if they're walking down the street and I notice them, do I really see them? In society, people are craving authenticity and yet at the same time putting up their own walls around the truth of how they're feeling with themselves. So many people are not being honest with themselves about the fact that they're unhappy in their marriage or their job or where they live or they feel really lonely or whatever it is." - Adam Roa   You Don't Need A Breakdown For A Breakthrough   "You're not strong because of your trauma. You're strong because of how you responded to the trauma which was your inherit birthright of divine strength and spirit. The human spirit is unbelievable! So, why would I tether my strength to that trauma? I'm going to say, 'No.' I brought my strength to respond to that trauma and that is what turned me into this person. Because I used my spirit. I used my strength. I used my courage. I used all of me to work through that trauma and it shaped me in this way but I didn't need that. That didn't have to happen for me to be inherently strong and capable and worthy. If that were the case, we would be intentionally inflicting it upon everyone because it would be a necessity but it's not. The breakdown isn't the only way we to grow and get the breakthrough. You can find the breakthrough differently and we need to stop assigning our strengths to our traumas and woundings." - Adam Roa   What You Resist Persists     "If you really go into your worst case scenario of what could happen and just make peace with that possibility - what we resists persists - and so you're no longer in resistance to that scenario. If it happens, it happens and you can still do everything you can to not go in that direction. That's not going to change but the energy changes. You're now not running away from your worst case scenario but running towards the vision you have for yourself." - Adam Roa     Links From Today's Show  The Deep Dive Podcast with Adam Roa The CREATE Community MASKS | Spoken Word Poetry by Adam Roa You Are Who You've Been Looking For by Adam Roa Surrendered Artist 311 | Adam Roa: The Intersection Of Art And Personal Development Treat Yourself Like Someone You Love by Adam Roa Cosmic Philosophy: A Month In The Light by Adam Roa MyIntent Project Adam Roa - Why The Law Of Attraction Isn't Working For You Abraham Hicks Tai Lopez 092 Preston Smiles and Alexi Panos Paul Chek | All Is God Marci Lock JV Crum III Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma by Peter A.

When you look at immunity, you're looking at wellness. Immunity is about peak optimal performance; that your needs are met, you're not stressed or anxious, and you're able to focus. I think animal wellness supports that in terms of providing optimally nutrient dense food and with minimal inflammation. Our immune system is compromised when we're inflamed and inflammation comes primarily from junk that's in our food. Eating whole, high nutrient dense, and anti-inflammatory foods is so important for boosting immunity. - Anya Fernald   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST* Wellness Force Radio Episode 393 Co-Founder and CEO of Belcampo, Anya Fernald, shares her mission to revolutionize the meat industry from the inside out, explains how ethically raised meats can boost your immunity while also helping the planet, and explores our spiritual and emotional connection to food.   How do we create and consume animal products that are good for people, the planet, and the animals themselves?     Join us as Anya shares her mission with Belcampo to revolutionize the meat industry by farming meat the right way with regenerative agriculture and positive climate practices.   Belcampo Farms Get 20% off of your first Belcampo order with the code WELLNESSFORCE Belcampo was founded with a purpose: to create meat that’s good for people, planet and animals. What started as one mom’s desire to feed her family the healthiest meat possible became a mission to revolutionize the industry from the inside out. Belcampo is the pioneer of hyper-sustainable, organic, grass-fed and -finished, Certified Humane meats, broths, and jerkies. The company is on a mission to revolutionize the meat industry for the well-being of people, the planet, and animals by farming meat the right way – with Certified Humane, regenerative, and climate-positive practices, which means it’s better for you, the planet and the animals. Conventionally raised animals are confined to feedlots and eat a diet of inflammatory grains, but Belcampo’s animals graze on open pastures and seasonal grasses resulting in meat that is higher in nutrients and healthy fats.     Listen To Episode 393 As Anya Fernald Uncovers:   [1:30] Meat You Can Feel Great About Eating Anya Fernald Belcampo Food Network | Anya Fernald What Belcampo and its mission means to her. Her background in food and how she came to be a artisanal cheesemaker in Italy. Obstacles and changes she faced as an expat in Italy for 8 years. The ambitious drive that led her to get out of her comfort zone and seek work outside of the US. Her own personal health shift in Italy compared to how she felt when she lived in the US and had struggles with moodiness, dry skin, split ends, and cavities. Unpacking the slow food movement that Italians live by compared to other countries. What food actually means for our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Why good food doesn't necessarily mean it's been prepared by a professional chef but that it is clean and both whole ingredients and methods have been used. The importance of slowly growing our food, using micronutrient rich soils, and being mindful about consumption. How she has become such a strong leader for Belcampo by tuning into her intuition, speaking her truth, and being driven by their mission.   [19:00] Revolutionizing Meat: People, Planet & Animals 357 Robb Wolf The fundamental ethics that Belcampo stands behind with the treatment of their animals including raising them outdoors to support their customer's wellness. Why it's so important to raise animals in a way that is aligned with their own evolutionary context. Unpacking this fight between ethical consumption of meat and people who don't believe in eating meat. How PETA harassed her for two years including one time when she was giving a talk while also 9 months pregnant. Why PETA's question to her, "Would you eat your dog?" doesn't even make sense from a pathogen perspective as dogs are carnivores. The empathy that she has for people in PETA and why she believes their success is her success because they are fighting for the same thing: the end of animal confinement in agriculture. Belcampo's positive impact on agriculture yet the amount of grass-fed and finished farms is still less than 1%. Why many of the vegan movement messages are correct when it comes to confinement agriculture.   [27:30] Food's Connection To Spiritual and Emotional Health 376 Mike Salemi  How humans have lost the instinct to seek out whole foods as our sense of smell has decreased with the use of food packaging, processed ingredients, and marketing. Her mission to give people a product that smells amazing, has a great story and you can both connect with and feel good about purchasing. The challenge that she has for the health and wellness movement now with the simplification that food is fuel or that protein is protein powder to the point that it's playing the agroindustrial game. Why adding mindfulness to food can help us win against the agroindustrial game of processed and poorly raised, grown, or created food. Unpacking the fact that the most uncommon food to eat comes from pigs because of it being an omnivore and fear of getting sick from something such as trichinosis. Why it doesn't make sense for humans to eat carnivorous animals because they have a very similar microbiome to us and any parasites they may carry could then live in our guts. Her life as a vegetarian and experiencing poor skin conditions, low energy, weight gain, and depression  for almost 10 years before adding meat back into her diet when she moved to Italy. How she got into artisanal cheese making after being a traditional baker using whey. Why she's not anti-vegetarian and believes it works great for some people, it just didn't work well for her body.   [32:30] Healing Energy From Ethical Meats The fact that a lot of raw meat is often eaten in northern Italy and thus it became a regular part of her diet while she lived in that area and felt great because of it. How her health got worse when she came back to the US as she gained a lot of weight, felt lethargic, was grumpy, and had brain fog. Exploring how her focus on better health for herself helped launch the start of Belcampo. The real cost of food and why it's affordable to eat grass-fed and finished meat such as that from Belcampo. Unpacking the truth about organic and the hidden costs of not eating organic food. Her own rules for buying organic foods for own household. Why cows are able to process and filter out toxins such as GMOs unlike fruits and vegetables. Exploring the slow movement of grass-fed, organic meat and why the health of these animals are important for your health too. How the amount of protein in her animals differs compared to conventionally raised meat. What meat labels you should look for at the grocery store: grass-fed and grass-finished, 100% grass-fed, and pasture-raised.   [40:30] The Issues With Raising Conventional Chickens Joel Salatin 362 Zach Bush MD The fact that most common medicine in the US is antacid and most people have GI issues. Why it's so important to pay attention to what our bodies are telling us if we eat foods that make us feel sick. How eating meat again was an important piece of Anya's gut feeling better again. The fact that the third largest greenhouse gas emitter is meat that we throw away as we overproduce meat that is raised in extremely poor conditions. Why pricing is an important factor in being mindful of what we buy and put into our bodies. Exploring the impact of raising chickens either the conventional or natural way Morgan Spurlock - SUPER SIZE ME 2 Official Trailer - Holy Chicken The fact that conventional chickens can be processed by being bathed in chlorine and pumped up to be sold at higher prices with less nutrient value.   [47:30] How Conventional Chicken Is Raised In Stressful Environments Why chicken can be really complex as we our meat consumption of it is 60% and it is the most changed as far as pricing and perceived cultural value in the past 6 decades. How the high-stress environment that chickens are raised in and continuous exposure to antibiotics suppresses their microbiome and leads to rapid weight gain. The fact that some chickens are under so much stress from being kept to lay eggs to forced molting in their environment. The Meat Racket: The Secret Takeover of America's Food Business by Christopher Leonard The horrible conditions that some people work in and how it can also impact those who live nearby the farms.

The fact that on average even USDA approved chicken, 48% of them have some fecal matter on them. Doctors Sue USDA for Ignoring Concerns Over Fecal Contamination of Chicken How to know if your chicken has been dunked in a bleach bath because a gooshy, white liquid solution will come out.   [53:30] Ethical Meats & Immunity How to build and boost your immunity with ethical meat consumption. Why a lot of our gut health issues have to do with a the glyphosate, antimicrobials, and bleach that is in our food. The fact that all flour is now treated with antimicrobials because of the issues with E.coli. Why you might not be intolerant to gluten but have a strong reaction to antimicrobials in your food. How the strong antiviral and antimicrobial sprays on planes while traveling has affected her gut health lately. The power of nutrient dense foods to boost our immunity and wellness. Why bloating and holding onto water is a sign that there is inflammation in the body. 365 Dr. Paul Saladino The fact that most people who start eating higher amounts of animal proteins reduce their inflammation and physically look less puffy. Anya's experience following a strict carnivore diet and the healthy benefits she received from it but why she isn't following it in the long term. Why not everyone's body can handle a ton of fruits and vegetables and so they find that a meat-based diet is better for their bodies. The problem the US is facing with land that is not sustainable for growing crops yet animals can still graze on them and help redistribute seeds. Historical records of agriculture and the planting of crops that have succeed and failed such as from the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl eras. The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl by Timothy Egan   ] [1:06:30] How Anya Has Become A Leader For Women In Business The biggest trigger that Anya has faced: Being dismissed as somebody who is good at marketing.

Why she focuses on spending every single moment of the day taking care of herself or making things better for her company and employees.

The benefits she has received from having a mentor to help and guide her path. Start With Why by Simon Sinek breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show Clearing Out GMOs, Bleach, & Antimicrobials In Our Food   "A lot of the issues that we have with digestion have to do with the glyphosate, bleach, and antimicrobials that are in our food. For example, all flour is now treated with antimicrobials because of the E.coli issues so you don't get sick if you eat raw cookie dough. So, when people think they're intolerant to gluten, they may actually be reacting to a strong antimicrobial that their food is infused with. From an immunity perspective, clearing out glyphosate, bleach, and antimicrobials in our food is the number one thing to do." - Anya Fernald   The No. 1 Rule About Eating Organic Foods "There are certain things I will never eat if they are not organic and that is anything that has a very thin skin and no protective exterior membrane. So, something like a blueberry, a strawberry, zucchini or lettuce. Avocado? No problem; I'll eat a non-organic avocado. Corn occasionally? Sure; It has a husk. If there's a cabbage that's not organic, I'll peel off the exterior sections before eating it but that's not my everyday choice. Be rational - the thinner the membrane as well as the sweeter it is inside, the more careful you need to be about organic foods. What about meat? These animals have all these organs that make them great at processing and filtering out toxins. Will you get glyphosate from a cow that ate GMOs? No way; you can't make a better machine that is able to filter out toxins than a cow but eating organic animals is more about being the change that you want to see in the world." - Anya Fernald   Human Wellness Is Supported By Animal Wellness   "From a fundamental integrity perspective, the most important factor of ethical meat is to raise the animals outdoors. This is a key piece to human health. Evolutionarily, human wellness is supported by animal wellness. We need to look at systems that allow animals to live in an evolutionary context; in systems that are aligned in a way with their own evolution." - Anya Fernald     Links From Today's Show  Food Network | Anya Fernald 357 Robb Wolf 376 Mike Salemi  Joel Salatin 362 Zach Bush MD Morgan Spurlock - SUPER SIZE ME 2 Official Trailer - Holy Chicken The Meat Racket: The Secret Takeover of America's Food Business by Christopher Leonard Doctors Sue USDA for Ignoring Concerns Over Fecal Contamination of Chicken 365 Dr. Paul Saladino The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl by Timothy Egan Start With Why by Simon Sinek Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Anya Fernald Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Belcampo Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube   About Anya Fernald Anya Fernald is the Co-Founder and CEO of Belcampo.

When we do something like this, we're holding ourselves hostage in versions of our life that don't work for us so that we can look like we are surviving and getting by. I get why people do that and sometimes we forget that living in and of itself is an achievement. You have to get out of bed, go to school, sometimes we don't feel well, you have to make money and put food on you table. It's an achievement just to exist; it requires a lot from us." - Ashley Stahl   Fear Of The Unknown & Misery   "This dynamics between fear of the unknown and our misery in our current situation are always at play in our lives, our career, and our decisions. The fear of the unknown will usually paralyze somebody but they won't launch in and override it until their misery in their current state is so much that they no longer care about the unknown because they're too miserable. So I help people figure out what they can do to lower that threshold so that they don't have to get to misery; they can start asking questions when they're lukewarm too many days in a row." - Ashley Stahl   Clarity Comes From Engagement     "If you don't really know yourself, you're just going to turn your career and life into this graveyard of trial and error. Sometimes there's some great things about that but I think the world makes way for people who do have clarity. It's not to say that we're always going to have clarity; we're always constantly in transition. That's who we are; we are transitioning. So, my biggest thing for anyone who really wants something, is for them to make the decision to go on the path and get that clarity because in order to get somewhere new, you need to do something new. Clarity comes from engagement; it's never just going to come from thought. That's like sitting in a rocking chair and hoping you're somewhere else by the end an hour later." - Ashley Stahl     Links From Today's Show  You Turn: Get Unstuck, Discover Your Direction, Design Your Dream Career Three Questions to unlock your authentic career: Ashley Stahl at TEDxBerkeley How to figure out what you really want | Ashley Stahl | TEDxLeidenUniversity You Turn Podcast Ashley's Quiz: What Career Path Is Actually Right For You? 333 Dr. Kelly Brogan Dr. Joe Dispenza How the Coronavirus Outbreak Has – and Hasn’t – Changed the Way Americans Work In a New Study, 90 Percent of Employees Admit to Feeling Burned Out.

There's a lot of talk that we need to collectively raise the vibration but it's not done like that. We don't collectively do anything. Transurfing is about accountability for yourself and your actions. 'Tuning into the collective' is a nice way of saying and adhering to a script. External scripts written by others don't really benefit a lot of people. Reality Transurfing you remove yourself from the script, wake up as an individual, and follow a script that is best suited for you, your intentions, and your trajectory in life. The cool thing is, when you raise your frequency, you raise the frequency of others around you and so on and so forth. - Renée Garcia   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST* Wellness Force Radio Episode 391 Founder of the International Transurfing Institute, Renée Garcia, unpacks what reality transurfing is and how you can use this psychological tool for personal development, shares her own personal success story of transcending her poverty into abundance and sickness into healing plus why we fall into the trap of unhappiness by seeking fulfilment outside of ourselves and how you can escape this mentality.   Are you living to your fullest potential?

How narcissism can be weaponized in the world of self development. Exploring the transurfing modality that "Anything goes! As long as you are not hurting another person or people." Alan Watts Her definition of success and how she sees it in her own life and mission. How the human psyche traps us to think we're safe when we have money or this and that. What wellness means to her and where you can further connect with her online. breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show   What 'Anything Goes' Means For Transurfers   "Transurfing is a knowledge based in non-duality. We don't really believe in black and white. We believe in what is good for you. In that regard, I definitely could understand how some people could view reality transurfing as being a tool for a narcissist but I think that term is really thrown around in our culture. When you guilt someone or you call them a narcissist, what you're attempting to do is adhere that person to the script of your choosing. In the transurfing modality, we say 'Anything goes as long as you are not hurting another person or people.' Transurfing is about opening your eyes to how society guilts you or pressures you into adhering to a script so that you can do your own thing." - Renée Garcia   Are You Ready for Reality Transurfing?   "People love the idea of transurfing: the conversations, the concepts, and how it makes them feel but at the end of the day many of them lack the desire or the intent or the ability to actually take action in their lives and move in the direction of the reality they desire. The people who take action are actually taking my words, my videos, my lessons, or my course and they're applying them to their lives and they're seeing results. Your reality will not change if you're just entertained by reality transurfing and don't actually do anything." - Renée Garcia   Finding Happiness Within Your Soul Fraile     "The more stuff I gained, the more panicked I became because nothing was making me happy. I had the profession, and the condo, and a lot of things that people would love to have but I still didn't feel fulfilled. What finally made me feel some sense of happiness, fulfillment, and meaning was to finally disconnect from all the external things that I believed or was told would bring me happiness and tune into a place I had never explored before and that is what we call the soul fraile in reality transurfing. The soul fraile is the specific code of who you are as an individual and acting from that place instead of connecting to your external environment and doing what it compels you to do. That's why so many people are unhappy today; because they're living from the external rather than the internal way." - Renée Garcia     Links From Today's Show  LMNT Belcampo Farms Reality Transurfing Institute International Transurfing Institute Community Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior by David R.

More than anything, the plant medicine industry needs to hear a message of responsibility. They need to understand the true power of what they're engaging with and they need to understand that these plant medicines are not just medicines if you administer them. You're not taking on a glorified role of a bartender prescribing a tea or some kind of plant elixir to somebody. These are unbelievably serious and profound plants that have literally shaped human consciousness over thousands of years and there's a fundamental reason in the Amazon that the true practitioners of the lineages of medicine go through 10 to 15 or even 20 years of apprenticeship.  - Hamilton Souther Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST* Wellness Force Radio Episode 390 Author, Master Shaman, Chairman/Founder of Blue Morpho as well as Co-founder, Chairman and CEO of Sizzle Media, Hamilton Souther, shares how to tell if a plant medicine retreat center is the real deal or not, how to know if you are a good candidate for an Ayahuasca ceremony as well as how to integrate, know, and love your shadows.   Have you had an experience with plant medicine?

Shamans have to be properly trained and know how to use plant medicine just like a surgeon trains to do a knee replacement. You, as a practitioner of the plant medicine, need to be trained to be able to diagnose somebody, look at them, understand where they're coming from energetically, and literally straighten out all of the problems they have energetically in that multidimensional field. You have to be able to navigate all of that and ultimately have the person come out on the other side of their ceremony having had healing and you can see that the affliction is no longer there and they have had a healing transformation."  - Hamilton Souther   The Dark Side Of Plant Medicine: Manipulation & Mind Games   "The dark side of plant medicine is the opposite of healing someone. This darkness is a form of manipulation and a form of distortion that is coming from a really twisted kind of intention where there are power games taking place. It's like sleight of hand magic, filling someone with an illusion, and taking somebody who's already in a state of need and putting them in an even greater state of need. There are all different kinds of means of doing that and it's taking advantage of people in a way that's really frowned down upon by the people who practice medicine. You have to be very careful about the practitioners that you interact with because of the power and influence that they can hold; especially when somebody is in a vulnerable state." - Hamilton Souther   How To Choose A Plant Medicine Practitioner     "Be grounded in the best of your ability when picking a practitioner to have these plant medicine ceremonies with. The real key is to understand how important the person is who is administering the ceremony. Don't make the mistake of thinking it doesn't matter who's administering the ceremony because it's all the plant medicine; no, on the contrary, the people who are administering that ceremony are unbelievably important to the outcome that you're going to have from it." - Hamilton Souther [spacer height="20px"]   Links From Today's Show  Belcampo Source Independent Entertainment The Mystical Secrets of Medicine vs Sorcery by Hamilton Souther Mystical Secrets to Money Magic by Hamilton Souther Tim Ferriss: An Urgent Plea to Users of Psychedelics: Let’s Consider a More Ethical Menu of Plants and Compounds Paul Chek: All Is God Carl Jung 032 Katie & Gay Hendricks Alan Watts 312 Kevin Kelly Sorcery Vs.

Josh's call to arms as a society for all of us to take a deep breath and to learn how to use the power of breathwork so that we can embody God's love. Paul Check | All Is God Rachel Fiori The power of asking yourself what mental, emotional, and behavioral programs are you running? The mirror of collected wounds in our society that we need to heal by reconnecting with God. breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Transcript From God Is Love | Solocast Josh Trent (00:00): God is love. God is love, and this is what we've all gotten wrong. And I have compassion for all of us, myself included because we've been doing the best that we can. And I know this resonates with you because we are all walking this path, this pathway towards knowing the God inside of ourselves and knowing the God that directs and guides all things. And so in this reflection, in this transmission, in this episode, I get to share with you my learnings, my lessons, and my teachings that have transpired for me in 2020, 2021. It's been quite a long time. It's been a long time since I've done a solocast. I've been really focusing on sharing other people's messages and missions and spotlighting people that I believe in my deepest heart are here to serve the world, make it a better place and reconnect us to the God within ourselves and the God outside of ourselves.   Josh Trent (01:08): But I made a snap judgment a long time ago that I'm taking ownership for now. And that is I thought that by sharing the mental constructs, the mental faculties, the lists, the PDFs, the guides, and all these things that somehow that was going to get myself and all of us closer to love, closer to loving the God inside of us, closer to loving the God outside of us. But the reality is the mind is just the gateway. And this is really the truth. The mind is just this gateway to what the heart and the soul and the connection to God outside of us and inside of us are really seeking. And that is, we are all seeking forgiveness - all of us. We are all seeking forgiveness, a reconnection to the love within ourselves and being kind to ourselves and one another along the way.   Josh Trent (02:05): I have had in my almost 41 years of life, so many sins, and I laugh with a tear in my eye because these sins must be forgiven. There is actually no way to move forward with my life or for any of us to move forward as a collective, as a society without forgiveness. I once heard someone say forgiveness is not a gift that you give to another person. It's a gift that you give to yourself. And I think what's really powerful about that is I have not been giving myself that gift.   Josh Trent (02:48): And let this be a call for all of us, let this be a call to you and your heart to begin to take deeper breaths through your nose. Whether it's in our BREATHE: Breath and Wellness Program or not, whether it's in the M21 Guide, just that short box breath practice, may we all have the courage and may we all be connected to our heart and to our soul and to God inside of us and to God outside of us, that if we can choose to take a breath, if we can breathe, we can choose. Truly if we can breathe, we can choose.   Josh Trent (03:30): Se posso respirare posso scegliere. And knowing that, knowing that if we can breathe we can choose, what else can we choose if we choose to breathe? What else can we choose to do? How else can we choose to be? Who can we become if we choose love? And love is not a light switch. Love is not this switch on the wall that you can flick. Love is an ever-present, everywhere and nowhere, all encompassing energy that holds us like your grandfather or your grandmother or your mother and your father held you when you were a baby. And you may not even remember it. But I guarantee if you ask them, they do. That is God. That is love. The feeling of trust and security and safety and connection to being held by your own mother, your father, your grandfather, a brother, a sister, a friend, anyone that is pure in their heart, pure in their soul about what love really is.   Josh Trent (04:32): And what love really is, and this is what I've learned over the past six years of this podcast, love is not an action. Love is not an action. Love is a way of being. And we are all collectively kneeling at the altar here, either the altar of forgiveness or the altar of self-judgment and self-hatred. And so I asked myself today and I ask us all, what altar are we kneeling at? Are we kneeling at the altar of darkness and feeding the beast where I'm getting angry at someone wearing a mask? I'm getting angry at people who really I get to have compassion for. They don't see between the lines. They don't see between the trees. They don't understand what's really happening in our world because when I go to the altar of truth and I ask God, "God, Spirit, please connect through me. Allow me to be your servant. Allow me to be someone that puts your work into this world so that I can embody the love that you show me is real, every breath every day," that is the altar that I choose to pray at.   Josh Trent (05:44): The other altar of darkness is the altar of judgment and betrayal and vitriol and anger and hatred and me pointing the finger at someone else. And so I get to ask myself today and we all get to ask ourselves, as I point my finger at the people wearing a mask, what mask am I wearing emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally? What mask am I wearing that I'm not willing to take off either? And the mask that I've been wearing is that I can't handle everything that I deserve. I can't handle everything that I deserve. Isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting? And if you're resonating, just take a breath.   Josh Trent (06:36): What mask are you wearing? What mask are you wearing? You can name out a thousand things, but behind that mask is sins that have not yet been forgiven. And I don't mean this in a religious way. I know myself and a lot of us have wounding around religion, even around the term spirit or God. They've been so fucked up for so long. We have people like the Medical Medium. We have people that are out there doing plant medicine ceremonies, and people that are with the good intentions trying to help others, but yet they themselves are not healed. They themselves are wounded operating as if they are whole, as if they are unwounded and it's a lie.   Josh Trent (07:15): And so this is the call to arms. There is a deep, deep and powerful call to arms happening. When I look back on COVID and mask wearing and cognitive dissonance and Black Lives Matter and racism and all of these things, all of this stuff, all of this putrid, black, dark energy is bubbling to the surface so that it can be healed. Don't you get it? That's what's really going on right now. All the things that are coming up in me, my self-hatred, my judgments of self, my unforgiven sins about the way I treated women in the past or the pornography I watched, or the people that I hurt, this is our work. This is your work.   Josh Trent (08:01): Look within yourself today. Be still. Put your hand on your heart, take these deep breaths and ask God within yourself and outside of yourself, please forgive me. Please show me how I can forgive myself. This is the day that the healing begins - right now. You listening to this with me, this message, this is where the healing begins right now. Not because it's a mental construct, but because you and I together in this community, on this podcast since Day 1 and especially today and how we move forward, our commitment to discovering this love, discovering this physical and emotional intelligence.   Josh Trent (08:45): And by the way, intelligence is love. Intelligence is the embodiment of love. Intelligence is the way that I hold my future son, I hold my wife, I hold my brothers and sisters. That is intelligence. Intelligence is not a book you read or a podcast you listen to. It is what you have embodied. And it's living in your body right now. And all of this call to arms is as a society, individually with myself and you in this audience, it is for all of us to take a deep breath, to learn how to use the power of the breath so that we can embody God's love. The embodiment of God's love is not something you can fake. It's not something that you can read in a book. It has to only, and I'm laughing because I fell into this trap myself in the past. God's love can only be something that you embody from experience, from actually knowing God.   Josh Trent (09:41): Key references from this podcast today. It feels good to do a solocast. If you like this, let me know. Write me on social, connect with me. This is pure. This is raw. This is from the heart. And I may lose people, I may gain people. It's all good because it's all God and it's all love. So, key resources from this. The episode that we did with Paul Chek, it's wellnessforce.com/AllIsGod. Our key resource for you to begin this unpacking process of not just your sins, but also your programs, how you're showing up, what, as my mentor would say, Rachel Fiori, my friend, my colleague, my business partner, what mental, emotional, and behavioral programs are you running? What are those programs? And are you happy with the results of your programs? If not, reach out to me. I trust I can guide you. I trust that I can help you. And I trust that if I can't, I can refer you to someone that can.   Josh Trent (10:37): So, know that as you listen to this, as you feel the words that are coming through me and that are being absorbed by your consciousness, trust that if they're resonating inside of you, they are resonating for a reason. That is the bread crumbs that are being left by Spirit for you to follow them and that should put a smile on your face.   Josh Trent (10:56): And the last resource I'll leave you is the BREATHE: Breath and Wellness Program. This program was built from my heart to yours. And you have my absolute promise that if you, especially in module one video, I believe number seven, the box breathing, seven minutes, if you just master that one video, you can download it on an app, you can do it on desktop, if you just download that one video, you will begin to unpack decades of generational trauma, decades of stress, and decades of old programs like mine possibly that have said things like this. It's too hard. You don't deserve it. Who are you to be so big? And you won't be able to handle it even when it comes. And we know that if we're still enough, and I know that if I'm still enough, and we know that if we can do our work to heal ourselves, then all the mask wearing, all the racism, all the violence and all the utter bullshit that is something society has been praying to on the altar of darkness, will not be able to breathe anymore.   Josh Trent (12:04): And so I think about this metaphor of George Floyd where he was kneeled upon by someone who was wounded themselves. And I think about how that's the mirror for the wounds in our collective society where we are dying to be reconnected to God. And this is the big question. Do we have to die as a society in order to be reconnected, to love, in order for love to reign? Because at the end of it all, and you know this and I'll leave you with this, God is love. God is love.   Josh Trent (12:39): If you resonate with this today, go to wellnessforce.com/M21. You can download your breathwork, calm mind, really energy boosting. That's the biggest thing it does. Energy boosting guide. It's wellnessforce.com/M21. If you want to work with me one-on-one, you can start by going to the BREATHE: Breath and Wellness Program, and you can find that at breathwork.io. I'm sending you so much love and so much wellness. And until I see you again on the next solocast or on the next podcast, or until you and I discover this physical and emotional intelligence so we can live our life well, which is the whole point of this show and that's really the whole point of anyone who's on the path to awakening or on the path to living a better loving, connected life, I'm wishing you love and wellness.   Build Immunity.

I wrote Fast This Way to explain both the spiritual as well as physical side of fasting but what people get wrong is that they will try to use the spiritual practice of fasting in the middle of a work day. There's such a thing as a working fast which you do for more energy, high performance, and anti-aging and then there's something called a spiritual fast which is something that you do for spiritual development and they're just fundamentally different. Until you do a longer fast with rest, relaxation, meditation, and introspection, you're not going to see it. So, I see a lot of people trying fasting and then it doesn't work and they say they couldn't do it right because it sucks. Well, when you do intermittent fasting right it doesn't have to suck. - Dave Asprey   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 389 New York Times bestselling author, podcast host of Bulletproof Radio, as well as Founder and Chairman of Bulletproof, Dave Asprey, returns to discuss his latest book, Fast This Way, how mitochondria dictate our willpower, the benefits of prebiotics and soluble fiber supplements during a fast plus whether you should fast alone or with a group.   What is the right way to do a fast?

There's a fasting trap, a vegan trap, a keto trap, and an exercise trap and they're all from the same basic human behavior which is, 'You know what, if something is good, more is better.' If you go into keto and you stay in keto all the time, you will hate your life eventually. You'll feel great for a while and then when it stops working, you'll think it's because you're not keto enough and you'll go from 15 grams of carbs to 12 and wonder why it's still not working and then you'll be stuck there and fasting is the same way. If you fast heavy every single day, it might not be the best idea. Fasting in moderation and learning how to have less stress and more energy during a fast is sufficient." - Dave Asprey   Building A Stronger Mindset   "In Fast This Way, I found this study that 15% of the average person's thoughts are about food every single day. So, if you turn off your hunger - Wow! You just got 15% more of your thoughts back. If that's just our thoughts on food, then it's a lot more for our fearful thoughts. Is it half your thoughts? Are two-thirds of your thoughts about the fear-running thoughts, inner critic, and angry voices in your head? If most of your thoughts are hunger and fear, there's just a little bit left for personal development and self-improvement." - Dave Asprey     Cravings vs Hunger     "From a somatic perspective, understand that there are two different states people have mixed up around hunger. One of them is cravings and the other is actual hunger. Most people only have cravings and they never get to feel hunger. A craving is, 'If I don't eat soon, I'm going to die;' you have to have it and it's an intense feeling. Cravings can be caused biologically when you eat certain foods; in fact many or most cravings are caused by eating the wrong stuff. Then you have hunger which is that mild feeling of, 'Yeah, it's probably about time to eat but it'll be okay if I do or don't." - Dave Asprey     Links From Today's Show  Belcampo 250 Dave Asprey Fast This Way by Dave Asprey Game Changers by Dave Asprey  Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey Bulletproof Upgrade Labs Head Strong by Dave Asprey The Bulletproof Diet by Dave Asprey Molecules Of Emotion: Why You Feel The Way You Feel by Candace Pert How Your Attachment Type Defines Your Sense of Self – Daniel P.

One pragmatic practice is to separate out the worry from the thinking. Fear plus uncertainty equals anxiety but uncertainty can also move us into a growth mindset. When there's a lot of uncertainty and we're really feeling down on our luck or really stressed out because of our finances; in those moments when we're really worried, take a deep breath, step back and ask yourself if this worrying is helping? Because worrying makes our thinking brain go offline. What do we need to help us move forward? We need our thinking brain. - Dr. Jud Brewer   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 388 Internationally known expert in mindfulness training for treating addictions, Executive Medical Director of Behavioral Health at Sharecare, and Author of his latest book, Unwinding Anxiety, Dr. Jud Brewer, returns to explain how worry and anxiety become habits, why we become addicted to stress, and practical strategies to navigate uncertainty.   What do we do with our anxiety?

In addition to reward based learning it has another trick up his sleeve. It takes what it learns and moves the learning into muscle memory as soon as it can. In other words, our brains are set up to form habits so we can free up brain space to learn new things."  - Unwinding Anxiety by Dr. Jud Brewer   Why Worry Can Be A Powerful Teacher "Inevitably life goes on and things are constantly changing and we have no control over the future. So, those feelings of uncertainty and wondering when the shoe is going to drop have been described as ways that make us feel like we're in control because at least we're doing something about it by worrying. However, worrying doesn't help and it actually makes our brain work less well. Try to see anything that isn't going well or isn't perfect as a learning experience. When your anxiety comes back up, what can you learn from it? If you lean into your hardships and challenges to get something out of them, they can actually be quite rewarding in the sense that you've grown and become more resilient." - Dr. Jud Brewer     Moving Into A Growth Mindset "What do we need to do in today's age? We need to be able to think beyond our narrow sense because the world has changed a lot. It has had this seismic shift that's never going to go back and we don't even know what that's going to look like. So, ask yourself, what I am I getting from worrying? See if you can step out of the worry and lean into that challenge. I'm not saying this is easy but I'm saying this is what we can do, right? Lean into this and ask yourself how you can move into your growth mindset and what's possible for you right now."  - Dr. Jud Brewer     Links From Today's Show    Belcampo breathwork.io Unwinding Anxiety by Dr. Jud Brewer 319 Dr. Jud Brewer The Craving Mind by Dr. Jud Brewer Eat Right Now app Craving To Quit Sharecare Mind Science 129 Gretchen Rubin Eric Kandel Carol Dweck Michael Pollan Loving kindness meditation guided by Dr. Jud Brewer How to use kindness to create connection during crisis Dr. Jud Brewer on using mindfulness to ease worry and anxiety 'Habit Loops & Everyday Addictions' 'Tame Your Feelings of Anxiety' TED Talk | A simple way to break a bad habit | Judson Brewer Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Dr. Jud Brewer Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube   About Dr. Jud Brewer Dr. Jud is the Executive Medical Director of Behavioral Health at Sharecare, Director of Research and Innovation at the Mindfulness Center, and associate professor in psychiatry at the School of Medicine at Brown University, as well as a research affiliate at MIT.
