Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

When it comes to this narrative about meat, there are three elements that tend to get thrown out there: meat is damaging to our health, it's unethical to eat meat, and meat is injurious to the environment. There are truths and falsehoods to each one of those ideas but once you look closer at the health and environmental parts then the ethical consideration of meat starts getting interesting. It looks like we have a singular tool that could both feed humanity and potentially protect or save us from climate change. - Robb Wolf   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 357 Best Selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired To Eat, host of The Healthy Rebellion Radio, Robb Wolf, returns to Wellness Force to discuss his new book and film, Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat, the unintended consequences of changing nature's cycle from agriculture to COVID-19, how COVID-19 has impacted the meat industry, how to make food more affordable plus reduce healthcare costs, and how grazing animals and regenerative farms can help change the world including reverse climate change.   What do you eat for optimal human and planetary health?     Join Robb and Josh as they explore the quandaries we face in raising and eating animals—focusing on the largest (and most maligned) of farmed animals, the cow.   Sacred Cow CLICK HERE to get your own copy of Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat We’re told that if we care about our health—or our planet—eliminating red meat from our diets is crucial. That beef is bad for us and cattle farming is horrible for the environment. But science says otherwise. Beef is framed as the most environmentally destructive and least healthy of meats. We’re often told that the only solution is to reduce or quit red meat entirely. But despite what anti-meat groups, vegan celebrities, and some health experts say, plant-based agriculture is far from a perfect solution. In Sacred Cow, registered dietitian Diana Rodgers and former research biochemist and New York Times bestselling author Robb Wolf explore this topic in greater depth. Takeaways from Sacred Cow: A Case for (Better) Meat Taking a critical look at the assumptions and misinformation about meat, Sacred Cow points out the flaws in our current food system and in the proposed “solutions.” Inside, Rodgers and Wolf reveal contrarian but science-based findings, such as: Meat and animal fat are essential for our bodies. A sustainable food system cannot exist without animals. A vegan diet may destroy more life than sustainable cattle farming. Regenerative cattle ranching is one of our best tools at mitigating climate change. You’ll also find practical guidance on how to support sustainable farms and a 30-day challenge to help you transition to a healthful and conscientious diet. With scientific rigor, deep compassion, and wit, Rodgers and Wolf argue unequivocally that meat (done right) should have a place on the table. It’s not the cow, it’s the how! WIN 1 of 5 copies!

Exploring the fact that we now have more people dying of diseases from overeating than malnutrition. The actual impact that shellfish and termites have on our environment including creating greenhouse gases. Why the suggestion to expunge organisms like shellfish to create life by stopping greenhouse gases just doesn’t make sense when we look at the whole life cycle.   [15:30] Unintended Consequences Of Changing Nature’s Cycle A story of unintended consequences that came from India’s government trying to incentivize the elimination of their cobra population. Continued nintended consequences that we are seeing right now as people are being forced to lockdown and wear face masks. Unpacking the experiences younger generations are now having compared to older generations when they were their age. How the actions of society now during COVID-19 could significantly impact us in the future.

The ego humanity has to think that we could create something better in a lab than what Mother Earth is providing us at each meal.   [25:30] How COVID-19 Has Impacted The Meat Industry Earl Butz The impact the Nixon administration had on our food industry by using science to go against nature and grow monocrops. Why Americans were told that it was important to add more carbohydrates, sugars, and monocrops to their diet and less meat during the Cold War which has stuck ever since till now. Ancel Keys Why it was suggested by Ancel Keys that animal fat was the root cause of cardiovascular disease yet he left out a lot of actual science on that statement in his papers. Exploring the McGovern Commission of Nutrition and Human Need that was tasked with preventing nutrient deficiencies in the USA and improve the health of the American Populus with Ancel Keys’ work. Whether he believes that it was good intentions or human greed that created a huge shift in the way that we saw food during the Nixon administration. Unpacking the four identities that own 90% of the food production in the United States including 2 foreign companies.

How government decisions at the local, municipal level in European countries differ dramatically from the American system. The culture war we see occurring on social media with one person’s ideas pinned up against another’s. Robb’s insights on how we can navigate the Info Wars of 2020 on social media and in the mass media to come to the real truth of what is going on with meat consumption and the agriculture industry. Alex Jones Sacred Cow’s action plan in the face of a pandemic which was published long before COVID-19. The three talking points surrounding meat in our modern world: Meat is damaging to our health, it’s unethical to eat meat, and meat harms our environment. Why they consider it child abuse in Europe to give babies or children a vegan diet as it is recognized as dangerous for developmental milestones.   [44:30] How Grazing Animals Can Reverse Climate Change How properly raised grazing farm animals can actually reverse climate change, expand our grasslands, and backpedal desertification. Exploring how farm animals can be used as a singular tool to both feed humanity and potentially protect or save us from climate change. The ethical comparison of regenerative raising grass-fed meat and the industrialized row crop model to see which one harms the environment, humans, animals, and insects more. His prediction for the future of agriculture and society years from now and how technology will play a key part in helping us shape that image. The repeated pattern we’re seeing in how technology is impacting the human mind and making us slaves to it like we’re slaves to cheap, processed food. 048 Nir Eyal How much we spend on food in the USA compared to other countries like Italy. The broken economics food pricing model that is bankrupting us with cheap, convenient foods in America. How our mind has shifted over time to see healthy food as something that’s too expensive. Why people would be more likely to eat healthier foods if they knew that it would mean they wouldn’t be crushed under healthcare debt.   [51:00] How To Make Healthy Food More Affordable & Decrease Healthcare Costs Unpacking how we can make healthy food more affordable to help people stop eating Twinkies, drinking Big Gulps, and finding themselves in increasing financial debt. The pilot study he helped create for 40 members of the Reno, Nevada police and fire department to get healthier and help decrease exponentially increasing healthcare costs through a low carb Paleo diet, better sleep, and modified exercise program. His experience working with the Chickasaw Nation for two years as he helped to develop some of the infrastructures of their health risk assessment program. What he learned from working with the Chickasaw Nation including the need for a better paying solution similar to a Medi-Share cooperative.   [59:30] What Lessons We Can All Learn From Sacred Cow Exploring how people can apply the teachings of Sacred Cow to their own lives. What choices families can make to get the most out of the nutrition their meals provide. The high standards that elitists are making and spreading about nutrition like "Eat organic and grass-fed food or avoid it all costs" when we should be avoiding that kind of mentality. Going over the fact that conventional meat still actually has a lot of great nutrients in it when we compare it to grass-fed meat. The hard truth that the only place in the world where grain-fed meat is cheaper than grass-fed meat is the United States of America. Diving into the facts and myths about the amount of grain and water needed to farm cattle. Different categories of water sources and how much we actually use to farm local cattle vs American grown almonds that we export from California. 234 Darin Olien   [1:08:30] How Regenerative Farming Can Change The World Allan Savory  How regenerative farming is economically very savvy as it allows farmers to grow more grass and thus more animals. The trends we are seeing in meat processing plants and the focus on decentralization and regenerative farming. Why it’s so important to fire people up about regenerative farming and eating organically in order for us to see greater change throughout the country. Breaking down how Medi-Share insurance plans are so different and better for us than the traditional insurance model we’ve been following for decades. What steps we can take to help our local food producers as much as possible. Why it appears that we’ve really lost the ability to listen to one another and new, different ideas. His concerns but also what he’s most excited about when he looks at the future of life and greater health for the world. BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show Meat's Great Potential To Help The Planet "Once you understand that it's going to be very difficult to properly feed humans without animal inputs and once you appreciate the potential that properly raised grazing animals have to reverse climate change, expand our grasslands, and backpedal desertification, not only could we produce a lot of food but we can produce an even greater amount as we reclaim areas that have been turned into deserts."  - Robb Wolf   Should I Only Eat Grass-Fed Meat? "On the organic food front, some people would say, 'Well, if you can't afford to eat organic, grass-finished meat then don't eat meat at all.' That's a pretty elitist position to take. Imagine a family of four that's trying to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and the parents know how critical nutrition is for their children's health. Conventionally-raised meat is going to be far more beneficial than any plant material that you could feed those kids. At some point, you can't put more grapes, bananas, or sweet potatoes down a person without getting nutrient deficiencies relative to just giving them some good, quality meat. Even conventionally-raised meat spends 70% of its life on grass and it's pretty much as nutrient-dense as grass-fed meat." - Robb Wolf     Moving Forward With Regenerative Farming "If we can wrap our heads around the need for an agriculture system that looks more like a natural ecology, then we're moving in a good direction. If we can look at a piece of land holistically and see how we can change it to improve the lives of other animals that live there such as birds, then it's going to be good for farms. When we create regenerative farms, we will see habitat restoration, improve the carbon capture of the soil, improve the water retention of the soil, extend the soil microbiome levels beneath the ground, and produce nutrient-rich food that could go on basically indefinitely for the planet. That is the opportunity that we have with regenerative farming." - Robb Wolf     Links From Today's Show  103 Robb Wolf The Paleo Solution  Wired To Eat The Healthy Rebellion Radio Why eating meat is good for your health... and the planet 345 Dr. Zach Bush  275 Paul Chek C.H.E.K.

Why feeling our emotions is the prerequisite to the healing process.

Why our constant need to know something or fix what is going on in our lives is an addiction in itself. Exploring one of his favorite quotes from Matt Kahn: “Whatever question you have, the answer is exactly what you don’t need right now but the answer will be there when we’re ready to receive it but you need to be able to live without it first.” Matt Kahn Why, for Greg, stillness is our access to the truth but it’s not necessarily the access to all of the answers because the questions that we’re asking are usually the wrong questions. How he came to the point to realize that his OCD was actually a gift to unpack and apply its spiritual teachings to his life.   [1:19:30] Coming Back Into Balance And Awareness Through The Middle Way Exploring the massive gut check we’re experiencing as a society as we go through the Middle Way in 2020. Whether the Middle Way is actually the right path for us or if we should go hard right or hard left instead. How we use the pathways of hard left or right to counterbalance the imbalance that we had prior to COVID-19 How we can come back to the Middle Way after going hard right or hard left. Why the violence that we’re seeing in today’s society is happening because we’re avoiding going in and looking at the shadow. Exploring this new wave of masculinity as men are starting to face their emotions, feel their pain as well as accept and love all of their feelings. Why there is a place for conscious anger that is not used destructively and how it can be explored in the Middle Way. What happens when we define an emotion as “bad” and store it back in the unconscious instead of being willing to experience and accept it. How the breath is used to bridge the mind and the body in the present moment. BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   Healing OCD Through Integrating It Into Your Being "I have healed my OCD but have I completely gotten rid of everything? No, but I don't have the desire to get rid of everything because I've integrated it into my being and I know that it's the greatest spiritual teacher that I've ever had; it's the only reason I can really understand how the mind works and how consciousness works. So, the answer to the question, 'Can we can heal mental health 100%?' is 'yes' but to heal it 100% is the acknowledgment that we're not here to get rid of it, we're here to integrate it. By carrying our mental health struggles with us, we heal them 100% but if we focus on getting rid of it for good, then we're still engaged in it." - Greg Schmaus   Separating Ourselves From Our Addictions "OCD is a form of addiction and the challenge we run into with trying to get rid of an addiction is the part of ourselves that is engaged in it is also the same part that is trying to get rid of it. It's almost as if addiction has this persona that is wrestling itself and we're creating the illusion that we're in the wrestling match. So, the first thing to do is to become aware that you are separate from that conflict; you are the one that is observing the conflict. OCD and addiction are very similar in their energy and root cause; usually they some form of trauma that runs so deep that we will set up these conditions, routines, and rituals as a way of making sure that we never re-experience that level of vulnerability again." - Greg Schmaus     The Healing Journey's Divine Timing "A lot of times, we're not yet ready to heal and integrate the parts of ourselves that we've rejected or abandoned. I do feel that there is divine timing in terms of when we are ready and the opportunities will present themselves but the prerequisite for all of that to happen is awareness. We have to be aware of when those opportunities and those teachers or mentors are presenting themselves to us." - Greg Schmaus   Links From Today's Show  CURED Nutrition 275 Paul Chek How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy! by Paul Chek 311 Mark Wolynn Living 4D with Paul Chek - Greg Schmaus: Overcoming OCD and the Mental Health Crisis The Four-Fold Way: Walking the Paths of the Warrior, Teacher, Healer, and Visionary by Angeles Arrien Matt Kahn Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Greg's Holistic Strength Training Instagram Twitter Greg Schmaus LinkedIn   About Greg Schmaus Greg Schmaus is a Holistic Health Coach and Licensed Massage Therapist.

As a kid, he was always playing soccer, ski racing, or out playing on the golf course. At the age of 16, Greg moved to South Carolina to pursue golf exclusively.

After a traumatic injury and surgery during his freshman year, Greg began to experience various physical and mental health challenges. These challenges eventually led him in a new direction. Rather than pursuing golf collegiately and professionally, he began to invest more time in holistic health, healing, and went on a journey of self-discovery. This journey led him to the CHEK Institute, where Greg furthered his studies. At the CHEK Institute, Greg studied corrective exercise and rehabilitation, nutrition, and holistic health coaching. Greg's Mission To Help Others Heal During this time, Greg was personally coached and mentored by the founder of the CHEK Institute, Paul Chek.

Using the tools that were taught to him by his mentor and guide, Greg now acts as a mentor and guide for others on their healing journey.

"Most people are dealing with a massive amount of toxins in their system; it's impossible not to have any. The chemicals in our tap water, amalgam fillings, GMOs, pesticides, vaccinations, seafood, and most skincare are all synthesized products that we are inundated with on the skin, in the mouth, in the body, and it affects us on a deep, biochemical level because we are creatures of the earth and we are meant to be using natural products from nature. We're not meant to be synthesizing things for maximum profits, minimum costs, and the highest turnaround." - Josh Macin   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 355 Founder of The Detox Dudes, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World and Pan American champion, and host of The Free Macin Podcast, Josh Macin, explains what a samskara is and how we can decharge the ones we carry, shares his own wellness and healing journey of detoxification, and explores what our ego can teach us during our Hero's Journey.   Do you feel sluggish, anxious, unmotivated, tired, or weak all the time?

But if you don't feel vibrant in that journey; if you don't, on average, feel like you're living on top of your wounds, pain, and fatigue, then you're not in your given birthright which is vitality. Check-in with yourself; what have you been putting into the machine that is your body? Whatever you put into this machine, you get. Everything you put into the machine slowly accumulates to either make you weak, tired, and sick or strong and healthy. No one thing is going to change your life; healing is a process and a journey where you have to address all of the possible roots of mental, emotional, and physical toxicity." - Josh Macin   Finding Out What Really Matters In Life "We are losing connection to our ancestors, our lineage, our old ways, and our earthly laws. People don't realize how much we're harming ourselves by harming the planet. We're just stuck in this money mindset and everything we're doing in our modern world is chasing an agenda of profits but this is not the way we're meant to live. The coronavirus and the quarantine are almost allowing us to get back to our old ways and how humans are meant to live as we're given this opportunity to introspect and reflect on the way that we've been pillaging the earth. Personally, through my pain and all that I've suffered, I've come to realize that all that really matters is love, peace, fun, joy, transformation, healing, being centered, being connected to the divine, and the earth. These are the only things that matter and it takes pain for people to get there in life."  - Josh Macin   The Incredible Wonder That Is Life "People assume that facing their shadows and darkness is scarier than having them linger in the closet for the rest of their life. Personally, I think it's scarier to have them in the closet for the rest of their life. I think people are terrified of their own power and the sheer lifeforce that lies within. People are terrified of how complex, extraordinary, and magical the body is but if we understood how much is possible in this lifetime; to have access to the inside of our breath, heart, and third eye, it would shatter the body if we had access to all of it in one moment. Accessing all of these points in the mind, body, and soul is a gradual process." - Josh Macin   Links From Today's Show  How Mercury Poisoning Nearly Killed Me The Free Macin Podcast Josh's Transformational Detoxification Masterclass The Fundamentals Of Detox Manual & Five Day Resurrection Protocol How to Clear Your Sinuses Naturally With Supercharged Neti 211 Chad Walding Wim Hof SOMA Breathwork 249 Niraj Naik Connie Fox Leaky Gut Syndrome: 7 Signs You May Have It - Dr. Axe 205 Wendy Myers 335 Catharine Arnston Little Dieter Needs To Fly: Dieter Dengler Rescue Dawn Natascha Kampusch Viktor Frankl 345 Dr. Zach Bush Restore 4 Life Terrahydrite Supplement ION*Biome Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Josh Macin LinkedIn The Detox Dudes Facebook Instagram YouTube   About Josh Macin Josh Macin was the 2010 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion and the 2012 Pan-American champion. Suddenly, in October of 2013, he began to experience debilitating panic attacks, suicidal despair, and gut-wrenching anxiety. After pharmaceutical drugs provided no relief, he found himself on a hero’s journey – traveling to the corners of the earth experimenting with some of the world’s most powerful hallucinogens. When neither ayahuasca, float tanks, fasting, meditation, colon cleaning, nor yoga could provide him with relief he began to lose faith. In a surreal sequence of events that transpired three years after beginning the journey, he found out about heavy metal poisoning and started a comprehensive detoxification protocol. Now, alive and well to tell the tale, Josh has created TheDetoxDudes.com – a company devoted to helping people overcome toxicity. [spacer height="20px" id="2"] Build Immunity. Breathe Deeply.

I know very well what propaganda is; I know what thought control is and how to avoid it from having been taught in schools in the military. What we're seeing right now in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic is text-book thought control. The first thing you want to do to break someone down or control them is no. 1 create confusion and no. 2 instill fear...What do we have going on right now? Confusion; wear a mask, don't wear a mask...wear a mask, don't wear a mask. They don't know. Social distancing? We don't know; is it 6 feet, 12 feet, 18 feet? Ask anyone on the street right now; what does the CDC say about face masks? Nobody knows. Then they instill fear by putting people in unusual circumstances; what is more unusual than social distancing and mask-wearing? It is textbook mind control. Step back and ask, Is this about health? Or is somebody trying to control me?" - Keith Norris   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 354 CDO & Co-Founder of Paleo f(x), Keith Norris, explains how the government and organizations are instilling confusion and fear to enforce mass mind control, explores how humans are designed to live vs the modern-day American lifestyle, discusses the war going on inside our collective consciousness and unpacks the "bread and circuses" that are present amongst us today in Corporate America.   Are the government lockdowns, CDC guidelines, and face masks about health or is somebody trying to control you?

Why he decided to leave corporate America because of the bread and circuses it's creating to launch Paleo f(x) with his wife, Michelle Norris. His transition from the military to work for the corporate pharmaceutical industry with the mission to help people. The miserable emotions he and his wife were feeling living the "American Dream" to the point that they wondered if this dream was actually a lie. George Carlin on "the American Dream" The hunger he has always had inside to search for the truth in everything. Why we should pause, observe, and question whether or not what we're reading in the mass media news is true or false. Unpacking the reality we experience first hand and how we project that onto other people.   [19:00] The War Inside Our Collective Consciousness Exploring the consciousness here in the 3D and where we actually are now in human history. The huge spike of people getting interested in plant medicine and psychedelics for deep-dive self-exploration and contemplation. His and Michelle's belief that the reason why everyone is all of a sudden interested in plant medicine is that the Universe is trying to wake up as many people as possible. The importance of getting curious and questioning what is happening around you especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. 353 Dr. Ben Lynch 345 Dr. Zach Bush The old paradigm that is dying as we begin to figure out what we want to create together and what we want to be rebirthed through Mother Earth. Breaking down the Bread and Circuses that we're experiencing today: A diet of entertainment or political policies on which the masses are fed to keep them happy and docile. Questioning whether the government lockdowns, CDC guidelines, and face masks are about health or if someone is trying to control us.   [27:00] Taking Back Our Power From The 1% Why cutting our connection to Mother Earth and the further we go is actually disconnecting us from both ourselves and our brothers and sisters. The power of decentralization to ensure that fewer and fewer people with a motive are able to control our leaders. Why it's so important to talk to people in real life about what's going on instead of allowing the mass media to hijack your thoughts. The forced division of racism that is being driven in society to control people's thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. How racism was handled during his military career and the fact that you were out of the organization if you displayed any behavior of it. Why courage is grown over time and we need to begin to reach deep for the courage to question our own motives, what lense we are seeing things through, and our beliefs. How plant medicine and psychedelics help to put people in a situation where they feel safe and they can disassociate enough from a story to question it objectively. Why it is so hard for us to erase some things from the hard drive we developed between the time we were born and age 7. 213 Bonnie Kelly   [38:00] The Monumental Changes To Come in 2020 Shawn Stevenson - The Model Health Show The fact that there are 60 million people just in the USA who don't have a job or are in massive financial stress due to COVID-19. Why thresholds of pain like what COVID-19 has brought us can actually lead to something beautiful even if we cannot see it now. The financial struggles Keith and Michelle faced in 2008 with the recession and housing crisis. Important choices they had to make moving forwards including whether they should go back to work for corporate America or hold true to the course they set for themselves in 2006 which eventually led to Paleo f(x). Other great entrepreneurial ventures that came from 2008 besides Paleo f(x) such as Airbnb. How humans are designed to be resilient and push forward to create great change for their lives in the face of adversity. What monumental changes he predicts will happen after 2020 that makes 2008 look like child's play. 086 Mark Divine Why the shared suffering we collectively experience will actually bring us closer to one another.   [46:00] The Courage To Speak Your Truth Why the phrase, 'new normal,' has been hijacked by those in power as propaganda to control us. How to not get caught in the idea that 'Zoom' is now the only way to communicate and face masks are now a part of daily life as the 'new normal.' The criteria that the government has put out for large events such as Paleo f(x) and how they're planning to work around it including hosting mini-events all over the USA. Why collaboration is key because no one is going to make it out of the mess that COVID-19 has caused alone. How entrepreneurs are reaching out to one another to help during this difficult time. The fact that we don't grow just by sitting back and being comfortable; we grow when we are thrown into the fire and are challenged to change. Why those who are in control don't care how you react as long as you do react while they're playing not just one side of the story but all of the sides.   [55:00] How To Know When To Fight Or Let Go The message he has received from plant medicine about when to know if it's time to fight for or to let go of something. How to listen to your intuition and innate intelligence to know where the truth and love are by sitting back, taking a breath, and not get caught up in the whirlwind around you. Why the emotion, anger (not irrational anger), can be a source of love if it's coming from a grounded, conscious, and centered place. The stage fright Keith has faced and how he has worked to overcome it on his own and with people such as Bo Eason to switch that sensation from fear to excitement. Bo Eason 275 Paul Chek How Keith and Michelle are moving forward with Paleo f(x) and the Wellness Tribe they've created from 2008. Why Paleo f(x) means so much more to them now than the house, cars, and their children's schools during their "American Dream" era. The fact that materialistic things just don't mean anything anymore compared to having loved ones in your life once you realize that you don't need a lot to be comfortable and happy. BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   The Universe Wants Us To Wake Up "About three or four years ago, Michelle and I noticed this exponential growth in people who wanted to find out about plant medicines and psychedelics. Not psychedelics for party use but for deep-dive self-exploration and contemplation. We truly believe that the universe is trying, right now, to wake up as many people as possible. It doesn't a whole lot of nudging to get people to get to the point of questioning and that is the biggest hurdle. Do I sit back and accept what I'm being told or do I question it? Does it make sense? Do I feel like I'm being played or lied to? Is there a narrative of control, who would want to control me, and why? Don't stop asking, 'Why?'" - Keith Norris     Tuning Into Our Innate Intelligence "How do I know when to fight or to let things be? You will know from your own innate intelligence where truth and love are. Trust your innate intelligence but the only way you can do that is if you stand back, take a breath, and don't get caught up in the whirlwind around you. You have to be quiet and in a calm place to be able to listen eternally. If you get caught up in the fanfare of the bread and circuses, it's not going to happen." - Keith Norris     How We Can Win Against Mind Control "Those who are looking to control you are looking for you to react. You are being spun and spun up to create a diversion and profit for someone else. Truly those in control don't care if you react in favor of one thing or the other because really they're playing both sides and all sides; they're going to win either way. The only way they don't win is if there is calm and no reaction. We have to step back and see what is actually happening with the face masks, COVID-19 lockdowns, and social distancing regulations." - Keith Norris     Links From Today's Show  167 Michelle Norris Theory To Practice ID Life ARX Fit Efficient Exercise George Carlin on "the American Dream" 353 Dr. Ben Lynch 345 Dr. Zach Bush 213 Bonnie Kelly Shawn Stevenson - The Model Health Show 086 Mark Divine Bo Eason 275 Paul Chek Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Keith Norris Facebook Instagram Twitter Paleo f(x) Facebook Instagram Twitter   About Keith Norris Keith Norris is one of those few lucky souls who has been able to completely transition out of corporate America and dive headlong into his passion for bettering lives by teaching the art and science of physical culture. He not only “walks the walk” on a day-to-day basis, but his economic well-being hinges on his precepts of “proper exercise, stellar diet and lifestyle, and intelligent “hacks” and supplementation” forming the bedrock foundation for a long, healthy and prosperous life. The Launch of Efficient Exercise Keith, together with partner Mark Alexander, have molded Austin-based Efficient Exercise into one of the most highly regarded fitness venues in the nation. Keith’s mix of intelligent and highly effective exercise programming, coupled with Mark’s business savvy and proprietary equipment genius have made Efficient Exercise the preeminent wellness authority. The Mission Behind Paleo f(x) The very essence of Paleo f(x)™ is rooted in the idea of putting theory to practice; an idea that Keith is heavily invested in, having been blogging about these issues since early 2007. And his “30-thousand-foot view” for the Paleo f(x)™ enterprise serves as the movement’s guiding, north star. And with a belief that intelligent “hacks” can help bridge the gap between our elegant evolutionary programming and sub-par environmental surroundings, Keith is continually ferreting out and backing the most promising of technological enhancements. As a founding partner of ID Life, Keith is helping to usher-in 21st century, optimal supplement dosing. It might be said that Keith lives by the credo written by the Greek poet and soldier, Archilochus, over 2,600 years ago – “We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training”. And his vision for Paleo f(x)™ is that of a battle-tested warrior, preserving the right of everyone to fully, actively and enthusiastically engage in the human experience.   Build Immunity.

We're a very sick population and if we keep thinking that we need to kill and hunt down these sicknesses, viruses, and bacteria, that will forever put us at the mercy of the government or other organizations claiming to try and save us vs. us putting the actual work and effort in to become the healthiest versions of ourselves. It's all about choices vs being manipulated and basically lied to in my opinion. - Dr. Ben Lynch   Do you have symptoms of Dirty Genes?   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 353 Best-selling Author of Dirty Genes, Naturopathic Physician, and President of Seeking Health, Dr. Ben Lynch, explains how to overcome genetic dysfunction, the difference between making our own health choices vs. being manipulated by the system, why any face mask that isn't N95 certified is useless, what the Super 7 Genes are and how they can be supplemented with products from Seeking Health.   Discover the connection between dirty genes, how to clean them, and how to protect yourself from COVID-19 as well as all viruses out there.     Listen To Episode 353 As Dr. Ben Lynch Uncovers:   [1:30] Making Our Own Health Choices vs Being Manipulated By The System Dr. Ben Lynch Seeking Health Dirty Genes by Dr. Ben Lynch 297 Mike Mutzel His statement and medical perspective on May 22nd, 2020 of where we were at with COVID-19. The negative impact of relying on external things compared to taking action on our own health. How suppressing with antibiotics, antacids, antidepressants, and focusing on "killing" the coronavirus, cancer, disease etc. is the mentality that keeps us digging a hole for humanity. What steps we can take to make our own health choices that support our wellbeing vs relying on the systems of the government or the healthcare industry to "fix us." Fear-mongering platforms that the mass media and government are creating around face masks and hand sanitizer. Judy Mikovits Dr. Ben Lynch & Judy Mikovits Facebook Live "People Are Brainwashed by The Big Pharma" - Judy Mikovits Leave You Speechless Why lifestyle change should be considered first before giving a patient a new medication.   [11:00] Questions We Should Be Asking Now About COVID-19 Questions we should be asking ourselves about COVID-19 before creating so much pandemonium around it. Asking the question, Why are we making a big deal about the coronavirus now and not with influenza, H1N1, or measles? Unpacking why there are specific times in history when people with agendas are pushing for vaccines. Comparing control through COVID-19 to looking closely at how Nazi Germany took meticulous records and statistics of all of their prisoners to keep their soldiers busy which then encouraged them to forget how awful their actions were towards people and hijack their conscious thinking. 345 Dr. Zach Bush 350 Greg Anderson Why educating people about the truth doesn't mean we have to keep them in constant fear and busywork. Miseducation about COVID-19 testing, what it actually is, what it does for us, and how it "keeps us safe" or not. What he can tell us about COVID-19 antibodies, vaccines, PCR, and the actual testing that matters for us right now. Why the influenza vaccine, according to one study, will not prevent the spread of it, the severity of it, nor prevent infecting other people; all it did was just shorten the duration of the sickness. Testing for Coronavirus Antibodies and Coronavirus Vaccine Status Report   [20:30] Becoming A True Seeker Of Health Why a true health seeker is someone who just wants to explore it with an unbiased lens. His approach to looking at health with a Socratic lens, taking his time, and really dig into the paperwork. Dr. Ben Lynch's Facebook page Exploring what is it about our microbiome and disconnection to it that are driving more people to be susceptible to any virus let alone COVID-19. Why illness like chronic sinusitis has a higher chance of occurring when there is less diversity in the nasal microbiome. What it actually takes to have a good, diverse microbiome beyond eating fermented foods like kefir, kimchi, and sauerkraut. Different forms of good bacteria that can be found all of the body - our eyes, nose, cheeks, armpits, etc. and why they're so important for our overall health The devastation we are creating for good bacteria, our food, and our own health as we are blasting COVID-19 with sprays, chemicals, disinfectants, sanitizers, and UVs Why antibiotics and antacids are not the first solutions we should go to when we get sick as our healthy bacteria will fight them off on their own. How swollen tonsils actually work as a line of defense to let us know if we're intolerant to certain foods.   [27:00] Why Any Face Mask That Isn't N95 Is Useless Why Mother Nature is very resilient as she has backup systems for backup systems to repair what we're trying to do to this planet with pesticides, pollution, COVID-19, and natural resource drilling. How to tell whether or not our soil is actually healthy. Why we're actually destroying ourselves when we destroy the environment. His views as face masks and why he's 100% confident that it's actually hurting us as it's used as a governmental tool to maintain the fear and submission. Why face masks are useless unless they're N95 because the size of the holes are not sufficient, they're not properly sealed, and you're just exhaling and inhaling the old, toxic air. Unpacking the fact that people with respiratory symptoms such as COPD cannot wear a face mask as it will kill them. The Model Health Show - Can A Mask Really Keep Us Safe? How the coronavirus is proving that we are a sick population and a vaccine is not going to fix that.   [34:00] Making Our Own Conscious Health Decisions How we can use our time in quarantine to pause, start thinking about things and look at what's really going on with COVID-19.

Unpacking Washington state governor Jay Inslee's agenda as his daughter works for Gates and he is supported by Big Pharma and the Bill And Melinda Gates Foundation. The new awakening as we pause and actually take a look around us to see what is truly going on in the world and who's ruling it with their wealth power. Exploring the narrative of true health freedom during COVID-19 and beyond. What vitamins such as A, B, C, D, K as well as iron and zinc we should be adding to our diet. Standing by what you know is right for your health and the health of your family rather than allowing the government to control your decisions. Is a vaccine truly the answer to the coronavirus pandemic? With Dr. Ben Lynch and Dr. Paul Saladino on Fundamental Health Podcast Why it's natural that you will have a much more severe reaction to an infection or a virus like a coronavirus if your primary body's antioxidant, glutathione, is low. What the coronavirus actually is: A whole-body hypoxia of the blood vessels as they break and are unable to transport oxygen everywhere. Why putting people on ventilators is not working to help patients with COVID-19 as it increases oxygenated stress and kills 90% of the people.   [20:30] Taking Back Control Of Your Health From The Government How to take back the responsibility of your health rather than the government control it for you. What the government should actually be focusing on instead of what we can and can't do about our health. Why he feels that former President Obama's choice for Minister of Agriculture, the former head of Monsanto, was the wrong choice. Unpacking what he knows about campaign finance reform.

Gary Vaynerchuk How reducing the things you don't need from useless belongings to toxic people to junk food will optimize your life. Why you actually need electrolytes to stay properly hydrated. BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   Are Face Masks Hurting Us? "I'm 100% confident that being enforced to wear face masks is hurting us. Face masks are a tool used by the government to maintain the fear and submission. In addition, if a face mask isn't N95 qualified, then when you speak or cough, they will do nothing for the person that is standing next to you. The size of the holes and seal in non-N95 masks are insufficient." - Dr. Ben Lynch     Cleaning Our Dirty Genes "For me, Dirty Genes is a culmination of all of the things that I have learned; how our genes function, what makes them function the best, what prevents them from functioning, and how to optimize their functioning through other outlets than nutrition, lifestyle, and behavior but targeted supplementation and genetic variations." - Dr. Ben Lynch     Unlocking Our Health Freedom "It's great that we can take this moment in quarantine and have time to start thinking about things and really start to look at what is actually going on. Just like prey when facing their predator, they will give it their all to fight back. So, this moment is really a blessing because it is pissing off the world; not just the American public, this quarantine is making the world fight back for its health freedom. It's causing a lot of people to really stop, look, listen, think, and really start understanding what's going on in a big way and none of this is hidden. The government and people with money who have an agenda like Bill Gates who funds WHO are in plain sight." - Dr. Ben Lynch       Links From Today's Show  Dirty Genes by Dr. Ben Lynch 297 Mike Mutzel Judy Mikovits Dr. Ben Lynch & Judy Mikovits Facebook Live "People Are Brainwashed by The Big Pharma" - Judy Mikovits Leave You Speechless 345 Dr. Zach Bush 350 Greg Anderson The Model Health Show - Can A Mask Really Keep Us Safe?

A consistent focus on treating symptoms, rather than building health, can mean that you cycle in and out of symptoms and “treatment” over and over, sometimes for years.

We used to think that our brain and gut connection were sending each other a single message from one to the other but now we know that they are actually sending four messages for every single one. The gut and the brain are constantly communicating with each other. So, when our gut is unhealthy, where 95% of our serotonin and 50% of our dopamine is made, then our brain becomes unhealthy too. We're eating three times a day and if we're eating inflammatory foods we are creating an inflammatory environment three times a day not only in our gut but also in our brain. - Autumn Smith   What simple dietary changes can create positive health results for your body's unique needs?   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 352 Co-founder of Paleovalley, Co-Founder of Wild Pastures, and co-host of the top-ranked Optimize Paleo Podcast, Autumn Smith, returns to Wellness Force to explore how we can heal the brain with food, common gut-brain issues, the three foundational steps to a healthier you, and why we should nourish ourselves seasonally.   Discover why so many of us are experiencing poor mental health during this enforced lockdown and what nutrients can help you heal mentally, physically, and emotionally.   Listen To Episode 352 As Autumn Smith Uncovers:   [1:30] Getting To The Root Of Gut-Brain Issues Autumn Smith WFR 135 Autumn Smith Paleovalley Wild Pastures ‎Optimize Paleo Podcast by Paleovalley The incredible personal story of Autumn's background and her life before Paleovalley and becoming a certified eating psychology coach.

BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   Autumn's Three Foundational Health Steps "There are three foundational steps that I like to teach people to help heal their gut and brain when inflammation is present. Find the inflammation, make sure that your nutrient bases are covered, stabilize your blood sugar, and on top of all of that, get some tests done. It's about finding your specific imbalances and then getting the assistance to make some real positive life changes." - Autumn Smith   Creating Discussions Around Nutrient Deficiencies "Many of us are facing nutrient deficiencies and we're not talking enough about what we should be eating. We're all talking about eliminating gluten, soy, dairy, and whatever else and that is great and can be very empowering for a lot of people. However, the bigger picture that we all miss is, 'What are we eating?' and 'Is this enough to sustain us?' because we need to think about how to aid our brain chemicals. That protein you eat is becoming your neurotransmitters. So, if we're not getting enough protein or if the body is unable to digest it, then it will manifest into nutrient deficiencies." - Autumn Smith     The Golden Ticket To Your Perfect Diet "What it all comes down to in creating the perfect diet for you is listening to your intuition and your body because you are the only person who can design it. Don't eat something just because an expert tells you to if you don't like that food. Also if something is working for you today it might not necessarily work for you tomorrow or in the next season. We have to eat in tune with our environment and our life circumstances. There will be times where you experience seasons of nourishment that you need to move through, question, stay aware, and know that your body is going to give you the feedback that you need unless your metabolism has been hijacked with really, really processed foods. Once you tune in and heal what needs your attention, that's going to be your golden ticket to the perfect diet." - Autumn Smith     Links From Today's Show  Autumn Smith WFR 135 Autumn Smith Wild Pastures ‎Optimize Paleo Podcast by Paleovalley The #1 Nutrient to Boost Your Mental Health 345 Dr. Zach Bush Gluten Triggers Strange Delusions in Woman with Celiac Disease The Baffling Connection Between Vegetarianism and Depression Julia Ross' Cures Felice Jacka Junk Food May Increase Depression Risk Healthy Eating for Growing Bodies & Minds EP211: Getting Kids to Care About Healthy Food (& Eat It Too) with Katie Kimball Greens Every Day Keeps Your Brain 11 Years Younger 341 Josh Clemente  103 Robb Wolf 275 Paul Chek  The End of Alzheimer's: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline by Dale Bredesen Cronometer 252 Harpreet Rai Trace Elements Morley Robbins aka Magnesium Man Michael Pollan 311 Mark Wolynn Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Paleovalley Facebook Instagram   About Autumn Smith Autumn 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. Autumn & Paleyvalley's Mission 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. 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 Paleo valley with her husband and brother-in-law. Paleo valley’s mission is to disseminate excellent nutritional information and organic food products with 100 million people worldwide.   Try Paleovalley's Turkey & Grass Fed Beef Sticks Get 15% off Paleovalley's tryptophan-rich Pasture-Raised Turkey Stick and Grass Fed Beef Stick with the code JOSH Paleovalley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Stick Our Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks are made with happy, healthy turkeys – none of this "cage free" or "free range" trickery here. Pasture-raised animals living a natural life are, not surprisingly, much healthier and contain higher levels of vitamins and minerals. They also have a much more favorable omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio which is important because when omega-6 levels are too high inflammation is often the result.   With such high quality ingredients we didn't want to degrade the product in the processing. While most snack stick products contain a health-damaging ingredient called encapsulated citric acid, we naturally ferment our sticks which results in a delicious, shelf stable product with the presence of gut-friendly probiotics.     Paleovalley's Grass Fed Beef Sticks Our 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are made beef from happy, healthy cows. They are NEVER fed grains. Unlike most companies using the term "grass fed" even though their products are NOT grass finished - we actually care about the quality of life the animals enjoy. Truly pasture-raised cows are, not surprisingly, much healthier than grain fed cows and contain higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They also have a much more favorable omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio which is important because when omega-6 levels are too high inflammation is often the result.   With such high quality ingredients we didn't want to degrade the product in the processing.

Glyphosate has been around initially, believe it or not, since 1980. At that time, things like autism, Alzheimer's, and obesity were really low on the radar but year by year, they have increased as we continued to use this chemical. How could one chemical cause such a diversity of diseases? It is because it destroys our immune system, digestive system, and even our mood. Glyphosate is literally a depressant as it destroys our ability to produce hormones that control our emotions. - Dave Sandoval   How much do you actually know about glyphosate?   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 351 Best-selling Author of The Green Foods Bible as well as Co-Founder and CEO of Purium, Dave Sandoval, explains the connection between obesity and glyphosate, how to remove glyphosate from your diet, how he and his team are positively changing the lives of farmers that have been devastated by Monsanto, and how you can join the new social sharing economy with Wellness Force and Purium.   Discover how to empower your own health with our July 7th, 2020 kickoff with Purium and get $100 off the ultimate lifestyle transformation with the code WELLNESSFORCE   Listen To Episode 351 As David Sandoval Uncovers:   [1:30] Greater Financial And Physical Health With Integrity Dave Sandoval Purium Biome Medic The Green Foods Bible The Dave Sandoval Academy of Learning BREATHE 237 Zen Honeycutt 278 Dr. Michael Ruscio 084 Dr. David Perlmutter 275 Paul Check Roundup Maker to Pay $10 Billion to Settle Cancer Suits Monsanto Ordered to Pay $289 Million in Roundup Cancer Trial Join the Wellness Force Team and partner with Purium for our July 7th 2020 kickoff.

Purium's Biome Medic product which removes glyphosate through extraction and naturally excretes them out. How Purium helps people get back the good bacteria after removing the bad bacteria, toxins, and glyphosate.   [32:30]  Paying For Our Health Now With Nutrients & Getting Glyphosate Out Genetic Roulette How Purium took the step forward to become certified Anti-GMO compared to just being Non-GMO. Why our bodies are like a rental unit that we take care of by "paying rent" with daily nutrients and minerals.

You have to pay the rent, the electricity, and the water bill. So, every single day, your body actually has a daily need for different bills to be paid with nutrients and minerals. If those bills don't get paid, then those services get shut down. Most people have never paid their bills every day and they have no idea of what real health looks like until we show them and it blows their minds." - Dave Sandoval   Experiencing Freedom With Purium "If you're not free from disease, illness, or being beholden to a system of medicine or just any system, then you're not truly free. I believe that freedom is the most powerful motivator it's just we haven't tapped into it in so long. When people work with Purium and can live where they want to live, work the hours they want to work, wake when they are rested, rest when they're tired, eat when they're hungry, take the days off they need, make the money they want to make and choose the people that they work with, they start to experience true freedom." - Dave Sandoval   Cleaning The Inside Of Your Body From Glyphosate "When people ask me, 'Well, why do I have to clean the inside of my body,' I ask them whether they shower, brush their teeth, or wash their hair and how often. Once you start cleaning the outside of the body, you're not going to think of it as something that you can do once and then walk away. Just like the first time you took a shower, you didn't say, 'Oh, I'm clean now. I don't need to do that again.' When you start to develop external hygienic habits, you don't stop them so why would you stop an internal hygiene practice?" - Dave Sandoval     Links From Today's Show  Join the Wellness Force Team and partner with Purium for our July 7th 2020 kickoff.

When at any time in American history can a cop tell you what you have to put around your face? 100% of my co-workers are in absolute agreement with me and they cannot believe the stuff we're seeing officers do nationwide. That is why I was compelled to talk about it in my video. I said, 'I understand that you've got a mortgage; I do too. I understand you have babies to feed; I do too. It doesn't matter what your financial situation is or your personal financial commitment, none of that is relevant because this is simply a matter of law and simply a matter of right and wrong. We do not have the option to go and enforce these executive orders and destroy people's livelihoods.' - Greg Anderson   What constitutional rights have been taken away from you during the COVID19 lockdown?     Look at the facts and ask yourself: Does this feel right?

His spiritual journey over the last year and how it has drastically changed his life. The national disbelief from himself and other officers that the government is commanding them to forcibly shut down businesses and arrest people for things like going to church, surfing, or mailing product orders during COVID19. Why it's the duty of military and law enforcement officers to police their own if they're putting themselves and others at risk or behaving unethically. What inspired him to go create and post his viral video about his thoughts on how officers have been acting during COVID19. [13:50] What Changes Need To Happen Now In Our Country Breaking down why it's not up to the government to impose these tyrannical orders on people under the guise of safety. The danger we're seeing in the USA of allowing one person to dictate how everybody else acts and how its impact could increase from one leader to the next if we just sit back and allow it to happen. Why he believes that the majority of bad press that police officers have been receiving for the last 10 years are blown out of proportion. His own experience seeing the gap of trust between police and citizens become wider over the years especially the moment he puts on his uniform. 345 Dr. Zach Bush His next steps moving forward after being fired for sharing his thoughts via video online by continuing to do rallies, post videos, and share his message on other podcasts.

His plea to other people to avoid violence by coming together now and stand up for their rights. Explaining some of the many rights that people do have such as not allowing police officers to search their car if they haven't done anything wrong. [37:00] Finding Comfort In The Discomfort Why he made the move to close down both his jiu-jitsu academy and CrossFit gym to protect his members from the coronavirus before the government made the official lockdown announcement. Looking closely at what was deemed essential by the government to stay open during the lockdown in Washington state: WA State Licensing (DOL), the lottery, construction sites contracted by the government (none private businesses), marijuana stores, liquor shops, and anything that pads the wallet of the government. What his friend, a physician in Queens New York with 200 COVID19 patients is saying compared to the mass media and they are not matching up. His statement to the world: Look at the facts and ask yourself, does this feel right? Does this feel right in your heart? What is your truth? Does this seem like the right thing to do? Why the government doesn't have to nor should be telling us what to do during COVID19; it's our right to make our own terms and decisions. Steps you can take to analyze and take action during difficult situations like COVID19 with the process he has used in the military, "War Gaming." How we can find and build on resilience in everyday life such as with exercise by learning to find comfort in discomfort. Follow Greg on Instagram BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show What Feels Right In Your Heart?   "I don't want my message to be your truth. I'm just a person just like you're a person but what I'm imploring people to do is simply look at the facts and ask themselves,' Does this feel right? Does this feel right in my heart? Does this seem like the right thing to do? What is my truth?' Because there's a reason that there is international outrage when we see that young woman dogpiled by six cops in the New York City subway for not wearing a face mask. There's a reason for that and that's because we know fundamentally in our hearts that that's incorrect." - Greg Anderson   Your Right To Health Freedom "I almost find it offensive that the government feels like they need to protect us with the COVID19 lockdowns because I'd like to think of the American people as emotionally intelligent enough to find out, look inward, and decide what's going to work best for them. If people do that and they ask themselves, 'What do I feel comfortable doing? Where's my line in the sand? Where am I not going to get pushed any farther?' If people start to come to terms with these things, then when they find themselves in those situations, they're already going to have their answers because it's already something that they've ramped through in their minds and in their hearts." - Greg Anderson   Simply A Matter Of Right And Wrong "We don't have the authority to tell people what they have to put around their face; there are no laws on the books or anything that exists that has been legislated that allows us to do that. That's why I'm saying - 'Hey! As a cop, not only should we not do that because that's infringing on people's liberties, we don't have the ability to do that'. Our authority doesn't grant us that and there's some disconnect between how law enforcement officers are supposed to and how we're legally authorized to enforce the law and these governors and mayors that just get this idea that 'This is what I'm going to do now and I'm going to have my officers enforce it for me.'

The world of veganism is not just about health; there's a lot of baggage, layers, and levels that make nutrition about politics and ethics. Although I believed in the plant-based lifestyle and all the benefits that can come from it, these past 10 years have been an integration of health transformation rather than living by an ideology. The truth about diet is that there will always be extremes from veganism to carnivorism but what's in the middle is what will actually work for the mass population. - Ronnie Landis   Is the vegan diet really healthy for everyone?   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 349 Evolutionary Nutritionist, Founder of Holistic Health Mastery, Host of The Official Ronnie Landis Podcast Show, and Author of both The Inner Alchemy Youthening Program and The Life Food Peak Performance System, Ronnie Landis, shares why he chose to transition out of veganism after a decade, explains the ups and downs of veganism including its global impact, and why he believes that veganism is actually anti-human at its core.   By the end of this interview, you will have a firm understanding of why veganism can be a short term diet tool; not a sustainable lifestyle.   Listen To Episode 349 As Ronnie Landis Uncovers:   [1:30] Why Ronnie Is Transitioning Out Of Veganism Ronnie Landis Holistic Health Mastery The Life Food Peak Performance System The Inner Alchemy Youthening Program The Official Ronnie Landis Podcast Show 122 Ronnie Landis Cured Nutrition Why he decided to leave his raw vegan lifestyle to start eating meat once again.

Frankl BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show Evolving Through Eating   "There are short-term therapeutic approaches such as elimination diets and then there are long-term, sustainable lifestyles and ultimately, our eating habits have to become a lifestyle and not just one component of our wellness journey. Even if someone is vegan or plant-based, something is going to change in their macronutrient ratios or what they're doing. They're going to incorporate new ideas, experiment, and have an open mind because if something doesn't change, then they may not be changing; their identity and their belief systems are not changing. A lifestyle itself is a reflection of that person's own evolution." - Ronnie Landis   Diet Is Just One Of Many Healing Tools "There's a multiple layered process to healing and the diet is just a tool. It's an access point for healing the human being but when we get wrapped up and obsessed about the diet, it's actually a tactic to avoid the spiritual, psychological, and emotional healing that created the attachment to the diet itself." - Ronnie Landis   90% Of A Diet Is Psychological "90% of a diet or any health practice is psychological. It's based on compliance. It's based on belief system adaptation. Does your belief support the practice? If not then you're going to self-sabotage someway, somehow. You're going to find a way to not incorporate whatever it is even though consciously you say, 'Oh, this is the healthiest thing; this is the best thing for me.' We have this survival and scarcity software which oftentimes pulls us down from our highest potential and what's best for us. I saw that happening quite a bit in the nutrition world and more pronounced in the plant-based community than anything else." - Ronnie Landis     Links From Today's Show  Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes The Life Food Peak Performance System The Inner Alchemy Youthening Program The Official Ronnie Landis Podcast Show 122 Ronnie Landis Cured Nutrition Joel Salatin Weston A Price Foundation David Wolfe 275 Paul Chek Sean Croxton Born To Run by Christopher McDougall The Sunfood Diet Success System by David Wolfe Spiritual Nutrition by Dr. Gabriel Cousens Diet for a New America by John Robbins Why the Heir to the Baskin-Robbins Empire Doesn’t Eat Ice Cream Spencer Mack  Dr. Robert Cassar Rudolf Steiner PETA 179 Josh Tickell Rodale Institute 055 Gay & Katie Hendricks Biome Medic – Purium Jason Wrobel Daniel Vitalis Brian Rose Brian Rose on Infowars Alex Jones  Purium Ancestral Supplements Human Potential Podcast Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E.

BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community     Power Quotes From The Show A New Age Of Health   "The industrial era was the time when we became so flush with choices that were pre-packaged, pre-chosen, and pre-processed for us that made things wonderfully convenient in a certain way, but really for our bodies and our health, wonderfully inconvenient because we lost touch with who we actually are. Now we're at a point of rediscovery as we're focusing on the basics like cooking our own meals with local foods, creating a backlash against industrialization, and essentially coming back to who we are as humans." - Dr. William Li   The Body's Ecosystem "The 5 Health Defense Systems that I write about in Eat To Beat Disease - angiogenesis, stem cell regeneration, microbiome, DNA repair, and our immunity are really quite amazing because they're all interrelated. Our health defenses are like The Great Barrier Reef; there's not just one type of coral - there are many types of coral plus other plant life, turtles, fish, and the list goes on. It's an ecosystem and everything works together. That's really what our body is; a gigantic ecosystem of health." - Dr. William Li     Making Good Decisions Today For Greater Health Tomorrow "To live healthy and eat healthy, start with nutritious foods that you already love. If you do that, you're already going to be way ahead of the game and that's where everybody should begin. It's not only about cutting out processed foods, but it's also about what you add to your diet. In addition, food itself is not a magic bullet but a part of the equation. Stay physically active, manage your stress, and get good sleep. All of these things work together to make a happy ecosystem in your body. The decisions we make today can make huge implications for who we are tomorrow." - Dr. William Li     Links From Today's Show  Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes TED-Ed | Can we eat to starve cancer? - William Li Judah Folkman 275 Paul Chek 179 Josh Tickell  345 Dr. Zach Bush An Overview of Food as Medicine to Fight Disease Preparing Your Immune System for “Normal” Life Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself Boosting Our Immune System Through Food | Dr. William Li 10 Things to Eat Right Now to Fight Back Against COVID-19 BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Dr. William Li Facebook Instagram YouTube   About Dr. William Li William W.
