M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show Gratitude Is Our Life Force "Gratitude is the life force of everything. It can help us at any point in our life. Turn your attention from what's not going well or causing you distress, dis-ease, and frustration to just focusing on what you appreciate. Just focus moment by moment, one by one on what you appreciate. When you do that, gratitude can then open you up to awareness which is self-awareness." - Shannon Kaiser Passion Over Purpose Explained "Self-awareness is really important and allows you to understand who you are and what you were made for. Yes, we were all made for awesome things but sometimes we can caught up in the pursuit of, 'I need to find my purpose.' If we just shift our perspective and realize that our purpose is to live more on purpose, be more present in each moment, and be more intentional of each step we take, then what is revealed to us is our passion." - Shannon Kaiser Living From Our Heart "We're more than just what we do. Sometimes we get stuck on defining ourselves by our job titles, what we do, and what we're contributing. I think the most important thing to know is that if you're living from your heart, you're making a difference by being true to yourself. That itself can help inspire others because it's also being of service to others." - Shannon Kaiser Links From Today's Show Cured Nutrition 309 Agapi Stassinopoulos 311 Mark Wolynn Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community The Self Love Experiment Find Your Happy Adventures For Your Soul Find Your Happy Daily Mantras Joy Seeker Work with Shannon Shannon Kaiser Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Pinterest About Shannon Kaiser Shannon Kaiser is the bestselling author of five books on the psychology of happiness and fulfillment, including the #1 bestseller, The Self-Love Experiment and Adventures for Your Soul and new book Joy Seeker.

(55:00) Everybody needs people; we can never be a 'lone wolf' because connection is what feeds us. M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show Establishing New Responses to Difficult Situations "We're conditioned to respond in a particular way; like we all have a very conditioned mode of responding emotionally to situations. We either shut down, we fight, we get angry, we get defeated, we feel sad, we get excited. Most people have a very predictable way of how they respond to what we would call resistance. If you can really understand what those stop signs look like, you can start to just run plays and run experiments on how to rewire but also understand how to set up conditions so that when those stop signs show up, you condition yourself or train yourself to do something different." - Jeff Agostinelli Building Up Resiliency "Resilience and resistance go hand in hand. A lot of times when we go through transitions and navigate change, resistance comes on strong. It's really our job to look those thoughts and feelings of resistance in the face and go past them, start to be resilient, and build up the ability to pursue during tough conditions instead of succumbing to gravity and pressure of the past." - Jeff Agostinelli Sometimes Love Swings A Sledgehammer "A lot of people need not a drill sergeant but somebody that is going to call them out on their shit and give them direction. Many times that direction is going to be gentle and other times you have to be willing to take out the sledgehammer and shatter those beliefs in a super loving way. Sometimes love looks like being tough on other people so that they realize that if they keep doing something, other people are going to suffer forever." - Jeff Agostinelli Links From Today's Show Organifi Gold Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Dr. Joe Dispenza The Next Level Podcast episode 175: The Power of Movement to Increase Joy and Build Connection with Kelly McGonigal Gary Vaynerchuk Steven Pressfield The War Of Art by Steven Pressfield Carl Jung Marie Forleo Buddha's Brain by Rick Hanson Hardwiring Happiness by Rick Hanson Resilient by Rick Hanson The Joy of Movement by Kelly McGonigal Jessie May Wolfe Jordan Peterson Do The Work by Steven Pressfield The Next Level Podcast episode 104: 3 Simple Things to Manage Overwhelm Do The Work by Steven Pressfield The Next Level Podcast episode 043: How to Play Your Way to An Anxiety-Free Life with Charlie Hoehn M21 Wellness Guide The Next Level Podcast episode 121: How to Be More Resilient with Sarah Sherwood Wellness Force Community The Next Level Podcast Jeff Agostinelli Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube LinkedIn About Jeff Agostinelli With a background in studying pre-med biology and working as a private chef, Jeff Agostinelli wanted to take his knowledge about food, healing, natural health, and a healthy lifestyle to help others.

Endogenous DMT acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory; so, producing these sorts of chemicals would seem to be optimal for the brain.

(54:40) 311 Mark Wolynn How he would describe what 'source' is to someone who has a very analytical mind. 073 Kute Blackson M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community The Creation of Endogenous DMT Through Breath "When endogenous DMT, which is naturally produced within the human brain, is upregulated, it also induces neuroplastic properties which allow us to change our neural pathways that then allows us to change our perception and perception is everything. It changes our way of thinking, changes our perception, and changes our life. Anything along the lines of natural tools such as breathwork, meditation, or sound that create endogenous DMT is always going to be in the right direction." - John Chavez Cleansing The Brain Through Breathwork "From what I've seen, the quickest way to get in an altered state is breathwork. It's faster than hypnosis or meditation. Deep breathing also correlates with the cleansing of the brain. It's like DMT acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory; so, producing these sorts of chemicals would seem to be optimal for the brain. There's enough evidence to show that endogenous DMT produced by proper breathwork creates more optimized fluid dynamics in the brain and thus allowing us to kind of clear out debris; not only when we sleep but also when we're awake too." - John Chavez Unpacking What 'Source' Is "We have the idea that we're disconnected from everything but there is a source, something powering everything on this earth. 'Source' is like the Sun; without it, everything on this plant will die. Whether directly or indirectly, we need it because it's the driving foundation of life." - John Chavez Links From Today's Show 308 Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan Cured Nutrition 300 Special Edition: Top Lessons Learned From 300+ Shows 299 Christa Orecchio 249 Niraj Naik The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman Joe Rogan Podcast DMT: The Spirit Molecule (2010) Rick Strassman 'Mystical' Psychedelic Compound Found in Normal Brains Vipassana Meditation – A Spartan Race For The Mind Wim Hof 305 Anthony DiClementi Rythmia 196 Aubrey Marcus 275 Paul Chek Nick McLaughlin of Stationary Astronaut Gabor Mate Terence McKenna PlantMedicine.org Plant Medicine Podcast 247 Dr. Lynn Marie Morski 290 Dan Brulé 241 Dr. Dan Engle 325 Dr. Josh Flowers & Dr. Dan Engle Revive Treatment Centers of America Alan Watts 199 Peter Crone Dr. Joe Dispenza 311 Mark Wolynn 073 Kute Blackson M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Questions For The Lion Tamer Part 1 Questions For The Lion Tamer part 2 John Chavez DMT Quest Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube About John Chavez John Chavez believes that communication of mystical and supernormal experiences is just as important as the scientific exploration of these occurrences. There needs to be a bridge between scientific results and the ability of the general public to understand these results in a straightforward manner. In this digital age of media, he believes that a widely distributed ongoing docuseries can provide a tool to accomplish this goal. After having operated as an independent researcher for 5 years and having written 2 books titled "Questions for the Lion Tamer: Delving into the Mystery that is DMT" and "Questions for the Lion Tamer 2: Swimming in Electric Endohuasca", he believes that it is now time to take everything to the next level. DMT Research This entire field of research has been lagging tremendously since the 1970's financially speaking. It is embarrassing that with an annual budget of over $39 billion dollars that the NIH still refuses to allocate any amount to endogenous DMT research. One would figure that if the NIH can spend $3.2 million studying the effects of alcohol in monkeys, it can surely spend the same amount on a field that the general public is extremely interested in such as endogenous DMT. In any case, it's been estimated that there are nearly 2,500 billionaires in the world and likely over 50,000 hundred millionaires (people with $100,000,000 or more). There is enough private funding out there collecting dust that could change this endogenous DMT research industry in a very short time frame. About DMT Quest DMT Quest is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is focused on raising money and awareness for endogenous DMT research. This organization operates under a strict 100% transparency code in which all fundraising generated by DMT Quest will be publicly disclosed on our website and any expenses/allocations will be publicly posted as well (in a straightforward manner). This company was created in order to solve the problem of a lack of funding for endogenous DMT research. While a psychedelic renaissance of sorts is taking place currently (2019) in which companies such as MAPS have raised upwards of nearly $50 million for exogenous psychedelic studies, the endogenous research capital has been minimal at best. Based on internet statistics, the general public appears extremely interested in the discussion and results of endogenous DMT studies. DMT Quest's Mission Our mission is to create a brand that can assist in driving research funds into this specific field in order to satisfy the demands of the public and develop a greater understanding of human biology and potential. We have culminated a powerful list of advisors including Wim Hof, Dr. Jimo Borjigin, Dr. Dennis Mckenna, Dr. Roland Griffiths, Dr. Ede Frecska, Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan, Dr. David Luke, Dr. Mauro Zappaterra, Dr. Andrew Gallimore, Dr. Jason Wallach, Dr. Ovidiu Brazdau, and Dr. Robert Davis.

The origin story of Revive Treatment Centers of America and how the name was chosen. (8:30) Their approach to helping patients from both a physiological and psychosomatic approach. How patients develop the mentality that they're never going to heal from their brain injury and how Revive is helping them breakthrough that idea. (10:30) What steps they take to help patients see that change isn't a bad thing and come to grips that their health is improving and it can get even better. Why we allow trauma to become our identity and how to let that idea go for good. (11:30) The fact that you can't treat everyone with the same approach; each individual will need a different treatment plan and approach.

(36:00) How healing with psychedelics and overcoming adversity can help a person improve their understanding of who they are as a person and get to states of both humility and maturity which ultimately accelerate consciousness. (37:00) The fact that not many people realize that stress is one of the most complicated factors of all disease and they don't think that it's important to learn how to manage that.

What other signs you should be paying attention to post brain injury to find out if there is something more going on with your health. (52:40) Why knowledge and awareness are powerful tools to help you take action about your wellbeing rather than being stuck in a fog. M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show The Launchpad Of Transformational Medicine "We're moving from this allopathic medical arena from over the last hundred years now more and more into functional medicine which is an improvement for sure but it's still fairly reductionistic. Now we're growing into this launchpad of transformational medicine which is the combination of hardware and software technologies i.e. neurology and psychology. If you take the analogy of a computer, once you uplevel the hardware and the software together, then you have the best opportunity to completely accelerate the operating system and the performance of the engagement between us and our other world." - Dr. Dan Engle The Power Of Healing Psychologically "For the best, long-term overall success, patients not only have to heal from the physical damage that's been done and get their body back into a really strong balance of homeostasis but they also have to come to grips with their traumas psychologically to help themselves fully heal from the traumatic event that may have happened to them." - Dr. Josh Flowers Healing The Individual Patient "Healing the brain is not about overcoming the traumas but integrating them into a more full experience of the whole human. Our traumatic events are often times are things that significantly shape us, mature us, and quicken or consciousness. If we take a more whole-person perspective, a full-spectrum process of assessment, and appreciate the fact that everybody has their own unique constitutional wiring, then we can work people through and help them work through a process of recovering and healing." - Dr. Dan Engle Starting To Understand How Your Mind Works "You have to start becoming aware of yourself and your own internal landscaping to realize that things are off. Step into that role, know who you are, and become comfortable with yourself because a lot of times our society tells us to not pay attention to that background chatter and what's going on but the more you come in tune with it and in control of it, the more you start to sort things out. That's where mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork are the best tools that we have within ourselves. Start diving into your own mindset and psyche to see what comes up, understanding why the brain brings it up and looking at it from a non-judgemental standpoint." - Dr. Josh Flowers Links From Today's Show 241 Dr. Dan Engle The Concussion Repair Manual by Dr. Dan Engle Cured Nutrition Alan Watts Rumi 305 Anthony DiClementi M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Dr. Dan Engle Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Dr. Josh Flowers Instagram LinkedIn The Revive Treatment Centers of America Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube About Dr. Dan Engle With a background in integrative psychiatry, neurocognitive restoration, peak performance medicine and psychedelic research, Dr. Dan Engle helps individuals shift from illness and trauma to health and happiness.

However stuck you feel, don't feel like you have to immediately go and be something like a carrier of love, forgiveness, charity, or good humor. That's not the message.

That attention is food for that aspect of yourself. - Charles Eisenstein What if we could leverage a social sharing economy, change how business is done, and shift the way we see money forever?

Why we all have unique gifts to share no matter what our job role or title is. M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show A Declaration Of The World We Want To Create "Each failure, in service of an ideal, is a declaration of the world that you want to create. Such declarations that are backed by action, and even failed action, exert a powerful pull on reality and reality is not some objective thing outside of ourselves; it's intimately connected to the inner world and to our choices." - Charles Eisenstein The Theory Of Morphogenetic Fields "We're not separate from the world so anything that we do has cosmetic significance. Every choice that we make generates a field. Any act of love, kindness, forgiveness, or generosity creates a field of the same energy which then positively affects the whole world. Maybe someone across the world is now in that field and they become more forgiving or generous too. It's not dependent on them finding out about your act of generosity because someone put it on YouTube, it went viral, and they became inspired when they saw it." - Charles Eisenstein Using Our Gifts Towards For Their True Purpose "So many people come to me saying that they want to do more for the world but they don't have the resources, tools, or support and there's no shortcut for that but there's a process out of that which begins by acknowledging the fluidity of that desire. You're not crazy for wanting that or for feeling trapped and confined in the money, medical, economic, relational or educational system. All of these systems are built on a story that you are wanting to move beyond right now. Each of us has our unique gifts and journeys for a reason." - Charles Eisenstein Links From Today's Show Cured Nutrition Join our Wellness Force mission to heal the mental health crisis at wellnessforce.com/team Purium Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Changing consciousness through relationships, Charles Eisenstein Metaphysics & Mystery The New Economy Movement in the United States 096 Daniel Schmachtenberger Viktor Frankl Unlearning: For Change Agents M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Charles Eisenstein Podcast Sacred Economics by Charles Eisenstein Other books by Charles Eisenstein Charles Eisenstein Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube About Charles Eisenstein Charles Eisenstein is a teacher, speaker, and writer focusing on themes of civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution.

What thoughts normally come to mind when we hear the word, "unstoppable," and how he defines it. How his habits have shifted around what it means to work hard and be successful. (6:00) Why he used to stay up until 3 or 4 AM working during "quiet time" but then realized how unproductive it all actually was for his goals. How he worked out, competed, ate healthily, and took supplements to change his life yet something was missing to help him accomplish his weight loss goal.

Why it can be scary to tune into yourself compared to listening to an expert but that's where the benefit is during the inner work. (14:45) The story behind the core value of his family: "Life begins at the edge." Why we find it so challenging to have more time on our hands when we choose to step away from something else. Realizing that a quick pill, a one-time program, or a singular coaching session wasn't going to cut it for the work that needed to be done. (18:00) Noah Kagan Why many wellpreneurs tend to have that "one thing" that is easy to follow and extreme but that isn't his purpose with the book, Unstoppable. [21:00] Adapting A Optimization Mindset How to adapt an optimization mindset first to be able to focus on building physical and emotional intelligence. Why many men find they gain so much emotional intelligence from the women in their lives. David Deida The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida Why the tiniest step today is a step more than there was yesterday. His goal right now to optimize inner happiness and his legacy.

Primal Kitchen 112 Mark Sisson M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show Why Routine Is The Secret To More Freedom "When you firmly stick to a routine and schedule, you will have taken away all the complexity of making decisions to free up your day, give yourself more freedom, and live a more fulfilling life. The word, 'routine,' sounds very rigid; however, it allows the rest of the day to be totally un-rigid. If you look at the most successful people in the world, they all identify routine as being critical to their success. It's not the same routine for everyone, it's just a routine that works best for your life." - David Hauser The Most Important Factor Is You "The biggest change for myself has been identifying what works the best for me. I've spent a lot of years thinking that I just need to listen to what other people are doing, how it works for them, and taking in that conventional wisdom. So, when I understand that what was important was how it worked for me, how I felt, and how performed, that was a paradigm shift that I just can't compare to anything else. That new mentality then allowed me to try different approaches, individual testing, and uncover what actually worked for me but until I stepped into that mode, nothing was possible." - David Hauser Emotional Intelligence Is Key For Human Optimization "Emotional intelligence is a key part of the human optimization process because it's so important to identify with both the emotional and physical feelings that you have. Most of us, and myself for sure, try to ignore and cover-up those feelings as much as possible but when you actually want to change something, you have to open yourself up and be present." - David Hauser Links From Today's Show Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes 206 Dan Pardi Noah Kagan David Deida The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida 297 Mike Mutzel Cured Nutrition Oura Ring 048 Nir Eyal Primal Kitchen 112 Mark Sisson Creative Warriors Podcast - David Hauser: Optimize Your Life M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Unstoppable: 4 Steps to Transform Your Life David Hauser Instagram Facebook Twitter LinkedIn YouTube About David Hauser David Hauser is a serial entrepreneur who launched several companies before he began high school.

I often refer to depression as the emotional flu and thus I'd do what I'd do if I got the flu. I would make sure that I'm taking care of myself by getting enough sleep, Vitamin C, exercise, socialization, and good nutrition. I would do those things and beyond that, I would just let the depression take its course until it goes away. I don't turn my depression into deep, existential questioning." - Eric Zimmer Curiosity Is A Key Human Trait "Curiosity is one of the key traits that unlocks so many of the things that most of us would say is worth having in life. Whether that be awakening, awe, fascination, or wonder. It is also a remarkably good tool to lessen or emotional pain. The more curious we can become about emotional pain, the better able we are to take a step away from it and look at it in broader and new ways." - Eric Zimmer Suffering Equals Pain Times Resistance "Resistance isn't helpful. I often quote this on my podcast, 'Suffering equals pain times resistance.' So, if I know that depression is my pain, the more I resist it and tell myself that it shouldn't be this way, the more I suffer. When I can sort of let it just be what it is, it's not that the pain isn't there, it's just that I don't make it worse. Sometimes the best thing we can do in certain situations is to not make it worse by waiting until the moment passes and engaging with it at a different time." - Eric Zimmer Links From Today's Show Cured Nutrition Leave Wellness Force a review WFR 300 Special Edition: Top Lessons Learned From 300+ Shows 086 Mark Divine Dr. Gabor Mate BJ Fogg Nir Eyal Charles Duhigg 206 Dan Pardi Hal Elrod 275 Paul Chek James Clear 285 Luke Storey Carl Jung Lao Tzu Adyashanti 319 Dr. Jud Brewer David Christian Eric Tivers 317 Lauren Zander M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community The One You Feed Podcast Eric Zimmer Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn About Eric Zimmer A behavior coach, podcast host, and author, Eric Zimmer is endlessly inspired by the quest for a greater understanding of how our minds work and how to intentionally create the lives we want to live.

The Wellness Force M21 Guide Power Quotes From The Show Our Relationship With Food In 3 Basic Elements "We can narrow down our relationship with food to three basic elements: a trigger, a behavior, and a reward. The process of those three combined elements is set up to help us survive from a nutrients standpoint. What we have to stand from a modern standpoint, is why our brains are still set on survival mode when we have a fridge full of food." - Dr. Jud Brewer The Power Of Mindful Eating "Our Eat Right Now app program really teaches people step by step how to be more mindful with food. The first step is to just go ahead and eat but that really freaks out a lot of people because they've had these "food rules" forever and they feel like they're going to go to "food jail" if they don't follow them. So, we tell them to just trust themselves and follow the natural law rather than their own rules. At first, they're worried that they'll just keep eating without any self-control but when they pay attention to what they eat, discover what the reward from eating feels like, and think about why they're eating, it helps them work through their old habits and cravings." - Dr. Jud Brewer Dialing In For Greater Emotional and Physical Intelligence "Intelligence has a lot to do with dialing in and sensing these little feelings of contractions vs. expansions that emotions such as fear, joy, and curiosity create. If we can be intelligent around those pieces of subtle sensations that we experience, it's going to help us change bad habits, support the habits that are helpful, and foster greater kindness, connection, compassion, and mindfulness. This can all happen simply by bringing awareness to how painful the contracted emotions feel compared to how the non-painful, rewarding, pleasant ones feel. Knowing our psychophysical being, seeing these elements, and being able to link them up both with mental and physical behaviors will make us tremendously intelligent." - Dr. Jud Brewer Links From Today's Show Mindfulness Center at Brown University The Craving Mind by Dr. Jud Brewer Judson Brewer: A simple way to break a bad habit | TED Talk Dr. Jud and MindSciences' App-based Behavior Change Programs Wellness Force Media's new mission for 2020 Gabor Mate Vipassana Meditation – A Spartan Race For The Mind Eat Right Now app LIFEAID CBD Unwinding Your Anxiety app Why Is It So Hard to Pay Attention?
