Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

When a trauma happens, it changes us. Literally, it causes a chemical change in our DNA. The best way to say it is we're born into fears, feelings, anxieties, and depressions that aren't ours. We do not enter the world with a clean hard drive; there is an operating system that's already taking place containing the fallout of our parents', grandparents', and maybe even great-grandparents' traumas. We're born in the dark with thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that we can't explain. - Mark Wolynn What if your thoughts, reactions, and even just ways of being aren't even yours but just parts of your family's history that you have inherited?   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 311 Director of The Family Constellation Institute, The Inherited Trauma Institute and The Hellinger Institute of Northern California, and Author of It Didn't Start with You, Mark Wolynn, is North America’s leader in Inherited Family Trauma.

Anxiety. Chronic Pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. The evidence is compelling: the roots of these difficulties may not reside in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains—but in the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. The latest scientific research, now making headlines, supports what many have long intuited—that traumatic experience can be passed down through generations. What You Will Learn It Didn’t Start with You builds on the work of leading experts in post-traumatic stress, including Mount Sinai School of Medicine neuroscientist Rachel Yehuda and psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score. Even if the person who suffered the original trauma has died, or the story has been forgotten or silenced, memory and feelings can live on. These emotional legacies are often hidden, encoded in everything from gene expression to everyday language, and they play a far greater role in our emotional and physical health than has ever before been understood.

The Wellness Force M21 Guide Wellness Force Community on Facebook Power Quotes From The Show Uncovering Our Trauma Language "I find that when a trauma happens, there's something else that goes on; trauma language is left which we also carry with us. Clues after a trauma are left behind in the emotionally charged words and sentences. This leaves behind a bread crumb trail and if we know how to follow it, it'll lead us to the missing piece of the picture that finally gives us context for why we feel, think, and act the way we do." - Mark Wolynn Shaking The Family Tree "We've got to shake the family tree and see what falls out. We have to find out what stories have never been told, what secrets were hidden, and what traumas were never fully healed. Then, we have to do our own healing work, understand how we're reliving those traumas, and what we can do to bring strength and peace to ourselves and future generations."  - Mark Wolynn The Residue From Traumatic Events "Just as we inherit eye color and blood type, we also inherit the residue from traumatic events." - Mark Wolynn Links From Today's Show Cured Nutrition 302 Mark Groves Alan Watts Bruce Lipton Bert Hellinger The Wellness Force M21 Guide Wellness Force Community on Facebook Three Generations of Family History - Inherited Family Trauma Creating an Inherited Family Traumagram The Legacy of Unfinished Business The Family Constellation Institute, The Inherited Trauma Institute The Hellinger Institute of Northern California It Didn't Start With You Mark Wolynn Facebook Instagram Twitter About Mark Wolynn Director of The Family Constellation Institute, The Inherited Trauma Institute and The Hellinger Institute of Northern California, Mark Wolynn is North America’s leader in Inherited Family Trauma.

(54:20)   Power Quotes From The Show   Fear Is Just A Feeling "Through my meditation practice, I was able to recognize that every time I was experiencing fear, it was really just my body generating an emotional reaction. Fear is just a feeling and something that I won't allow to rule over me." - Ariel Garten   What Meditators Can Learn About Their Emotions "As a meditator, what you learn is that emotional experiences rise and they move. So, for a non-meditator, an emotional experience can feel very overwhelming and thus they try to not have emotional experiences because they don't want to be overwhelmed by them. As a meditator, what you learn is to sit with the physiological experience of a feeling without creating a dialogue around it." - Ariel Garten   Facing Fear Head On "When I made myself do the things that I was afraid of and felt the fear that was associated with it, I realized that I was fine once that emotion washed over me. Fear is just a feeling and it has no power of you. If you want to break through the fear, you can. Ultimately, I believe all of us want to do just that - to break through the fear of our lives. When you start to do it, you realize that it's really not scary at all; we've just built up a bunch of stories around it that made it feel scary." - Ariel Garten   Links From Today's Show Ariel Garten Get 20% off of your Muse purchase with code "JOSH20" 011 Beyond Meditation: How To Get A Better Brain With Ariel Garten Organifi 235 Drew Canole Awakened Futures Summit Leave Wellness Force a review  Rumi 302 Mark Groves Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan NCBI PubMed - Meditation leads to reduced default mode network activity beyond an active task. 292 Pavel Stuchlik 290 Dan Brulé Research Projects Involving Muse A Study of a Mindfulness-Based Intervention with a Wearable Wellness Brain Sensing Device in Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgery Jordan Peterson Women && Tech - Ariel Garten Exponential Medicine - Ariel Garten Untangle Podcast - Ariel Garten: Your Brain On Meditation Michael Pollan | Dissolving the Default Mode Network Know Your Brain: Default Mode Network The meaning of freedom | Ariel Garten | TEDxGatewayWomen Ariel Garten Facebook Instagram Twitter Muse Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube   About Ariel Garten Ariel Garten is a neuroscientist, innovator, and entrepreneur whose driving purpose is to empower and help others overcome mental obstacles in order to live healthy, happy lives and reach their maximum potential.

M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   Moving From Unworthiness to Worthiness "We are all avoiding the relationship with ourselves which is sacred because we have to go there and love ourselves. You have to go and love the part that feels unworthy. How do you move from unworthiness to worthiness? You bring your love, heart, and compassion." - Agapi Stassinopoulos   Your Soul's Calling "The reason why I have so much compassion now for anybody who says, 'I don't feel like I know my place in the world. I don't feel like I belong. I feel like a stranger in a strange land.' So, I tell them, 'My darling, let me tell you how that is the case for most of us. If you really think that people get up in the morning and feel like they belong in this world, there are very rare cases of that and God bless them if they feel that way. 99% of people walk around feeling amiss, feeling like they're not enough, and feeling the human condition. For me, my awareness was basically my soul had a calling to be here and to find itself without the man, the children, or a successful career. My soul had a calling to find it in the universality of its immense love and then my heart opened up."  - Agapi Stassinopoulos   Exploring Our Divine Intelligence "We have 37.2 trillion cells give or take that are giving us life in this moment. So, the fact that we all have Divine Intelligence and that we are more than our personalities, egos, or unique selves. When we go deep inside of ourselves in a meditative state, we can see that we are the ocean of love and mercy. We are the divine, the spirit, and the soul. And you do have a personality, a history, and your inner child but that all becomes part of your human experience. So, how you get to own that is to know that you are worthy of the love of the Divine that is your cells and the worthiness of that takes courage." - Agapi Stassinopoulos   Links From Today's Show 250 Dave Asprey Upgrade Labs Organifi Leave Wellness Force Radio a review Arianna Huffington HuffPost Thrive Global Byron Katie John-Roger Unbinding the Heart by Agapi Stassinopoulos Conversations with the Goddesses: Revealing the Divine Power Within You by Agapi Stassinopoulos Ram Dass Ram Dass, Becoming Nobody | Official Trailer Rumi M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Wake Up to the Joy of You by Agapi Stassinopoulos The Meditations by Agapi Stassinopoulos - Meditation on Awakening Your Joy Agapi Stassinopoulos Facebook Instagram Twitter   About Agapi Stassinopoulos Agapi Stassinopoulos a best-selling author and speaker who inspires audiences around the world.

(22:00) Her very first experience witnessing the work of a Qigong Healer who helped her dad's back pain and sister's ankle sprain. (31:00) The disapproving remarks she received from her family when she told them she wanted to become a Chinese Qigong Healer when she grew up. Why she decided to honor her family's wishes to study math and science in order to go to a school like Harvard University rather than focus on completing a Chinese medicine apprenticeship.

Home - Coming home to yourself and recognizing that you already have the answer within. Environment - Making sure your environment is set up and optimized the best way possible for greater wellness so that you're synchronized with nature's natural rhythm. Air | Agua | Aaarmph - Engaging with breathwork, the quality and quantity of water you drink, and how you eat your foods, Lightening up on all levels of health by letting go of a strict diet and exercise practices to focus on adapting simple habits. Thought and truth - gathering, applying, embodying, and mind mastering intuitive tools. (1:02:00) Heart - Living from the heart by healing stressful thoughts and cleaning up the physiology.

(56:00) 275 Paul Chek  Byron Katie HeartMath Dr. Jade Teta Why struggling and becoming a new version of yourself is all part of being human (1:08:20) M21 Wellness Guide     Power Quotes From The Show   The Simple Foundation of Good Health "Diet, exercise and all of these traditional ways of wellness do matter but they may be secondary to something way more foundational. So, in my SuperWellness class, we look at all basic aspects of health that are almost too obvious that people just skip right over them. Some of them are so simple, so free, so crazy obvious that we take them for granted. Since we take them for granted, we don't do them, and thus don't see the results. We're never going to see a TV ad reminding us to turn off the television, go outside, and get some fresh air. That's never going to happen; who's going to make money off of you being so independent and self-empowered in your own wellness?" - Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan     How To Crowd Out The Bad Habits "Practice nourishing yourself the right way and as a side effect, you will crowd out the bad habits. Focus on nourishing yourself with all of those delicious things like love and hugs but also breathwork, sunshine, sleeping properly in complete darkness, drinking the right kind of water; not just the quantity but quality of water. All of these good habits will crowd out the necessity to eat junk foods and live by other poor behaviors." - Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan     The Power of Mindful Eating "When we tell people to lighten up on all levels of wellness, the first thought that comes to mind is portion control. Well, what if I tell you that you don't have to control so much? What if you naturally lightened up as a side effect of bringing a different level of presence and mindfulness to your eating. Just even eating in a state of joy and gratitude; slowing down, chewing your food, and savoring it properly. As a side effect of that, you'll naturally eat less and be way more satiated. What if you just focused on slowing down, savoring, and enjoying your food instead of having to be so rigid and militant about it. How are your eating habits weighing you down now and how can you lighten them up?" - Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan       Links From Today's Show Cured Nutrition 300 Special Edition: Top Lessons Learned From 300+ Shows Organifi Leave Wellness Force Radio a review Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan SuperWellness Wim Hof Dr. Michelle Robin 6-WEEK SuperWellness Program LIVE online series Inflammation: The Common Pathway of Stress-Related Diseases  Dr. Gerald Pollack Masaru Emoto 290 Dan Brulé 275 Paul Chek  Byron Katie HeartMath Dr. Jade Teta M21 Wellness Guide The Dr. E Show podcast SuperWellness: Become Your Own Best Healer The School of Dan Tian Wellness Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan Facebook Instagram LinkedIn YouTube   About Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan is a Holistic Chinese Medicine Doctor, author, speaker, and coach who has devoted her life to unlocking the secrets of our human potential.

Before applying to medical school to stay on the path of "NORMAL" as people advised him, he decided to "take a year off." That year off has now turned into a decade of BREAKING NORMAL adventures throughout all 50 states and at least 20 countries. He travels the world as a keynote speaker and facilitator of Breaking Normal Experiences / radical retreats and workshops (though he likes to call them playshops, as what's purer than play?) based on the principles of raw honesty and emotional freedom. He found that the common theme through his journey and experiences was that so many people seemed to be trapped in self-imposed prisons, keeping a lid on their genius, joy, & growth. Thus Breaking Normal was birthed as a way for people to free themselves from this self-imposed prison.   Join The #WellnessWarrior VIP Club **Click on the photo above to get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.**   More Top Episodes 226 Paul Chek: The Revolution Is Coming (3 Part Series) 131 Drew Manning: Emotional Fitness 129 Gretchen Rubin: The Four Tendencies  183 Dr. Kyra Bobinet: Brain Science 196 Aubrey Marcus: Own The Day 103 Robb Wolf: Wired To Eat Best of The Best: The Top 10 Guests From over 200 Shows Get More Wellness In Your Life Join the #WellnessWarrior Community on Facebook Tweet us on Twitter: Send us a tweet Comment on the Facebook page

Biohacking is not about looking for short cuts or easy ways out because creating any real lasting change in our lifetime requires work, strategies, and best practices to elicit the desired end result. Biohacking is recognizing that there are a lot of different ways to get to an end result but based on your health status, genes, and epigenetic expression, there's only one that is the fastest and the path of least resistance for you. Biohacking is identifying what that is and taking that personalized approach to condense time and flip the biological triggers in your body as quickly and easily as possible. Biohacking is all about having control over your health, mind, body, and performance. - Anthony DiClementi  Which biohacking methods will rapidly optimize your physical and mental performance?   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 305 Author of The Biohacker's Guide To Upgraded Energy & Focus, Host of the Biohacking Secrets Podcast, and Creator of Biohacking Secrets, Anthony DiClementi, shares what biohacking actually is and isn't, the power of being your own health advocate, and how to create a better environment through detox, nutrition, movement, and community.       Learn all about Anthony's favorite biohacking secrets for the mind, body, and spirit that you can effortlessly apply to your modern-day world.   Listen To Episode 305 As Anthony DiClementi Uncovers: [1:30] Health & Biohacking Tools To Experience More Life  Organifi Red Tony Robbins Paleo f(x) Get your free copy of The Biohacker's Guide To Upgraded Energy & Focus and just pay the shipping.

A higher quality, deeper life experience. It's very easy for us to just get into these loops constantly pursuing self-improvement but we're skipping the very things that make life enjoyable and the very experiences that reward this path of constant and never-ending improvement."  - Anthony DiClementi  Workouts For Healing The Body "When we get an infection, we have to rewind everything with low level, steady-state cardio, strengthen and re-condition our body to create the necessary foundation in order to integrate the high-intensity training. HIIT and CrossFit are great if you're healthy and have never had any issues but if you have, you need to recondition your body, get your blooding flowing again, and create an environment that is inhospitable for infections." - Anthony DiClementi    What Happens When Our Environment Is Off "When our environment is off and we're eating foods that do not help us to thrive and increase our energy, over time we see a hit in our immune and mitochondrial function. Both of those start to degrade and then the door opens up for these chronic infections such as Lyme Disease, Epstein-Barr Virus, and herpes simplex virus." - Anthony DiClementi   Greater Trust In Our Health Decisions "We need to start trusting ourselves more and there is so much information out there that is not correct. We're outsourcing our health and doing workouts that make us feel worse but because someone else said it, we're doing it and we're not taking back the feedback that our body is giving us to correct course, make adjustments, and find out what works for us individually. We have to start trusting ourselves, listening to our intuition, and give more credence to the feedback that our mind and body are giving us." - Anthony DiClementi     Links From Today's Show Organifi Red Tony Robbins Paleo f(x) Paleo F(x) 2019 With Anthony Diclementi And Cary Jack Of Biohacking Secrets 206 Dan Pardi 250 Dave Asprey 103 Robb Wolf Dr. Joseph Mercola 298 Nick Pineault Clearlight Infrared Sauna The One-Minute Cure by Madison Cavanaugh 292 Pavel Stuchlik Alan Watts ENV RD-10 meter Veritas Farms Endo Scientific Dr. Max Gerson Biohacking Secrets - How to prepare and do Coffee Enemas Medical Medium Celery Juice: The Most Powerful Medicine of Our Time Healing Millions Worldwide by Anthony William, Medical Medium M21 Lyme Disease Myths Busted and How to Reclaim Your Life A Bearded, Bad-Ass, Biohacking Beast & His Best Secrets For Enhancing Muscle, Sleep, Recovery & More!

They're not even making rational decisions; they're just absorbing everything. So, everything that they see us do, hear us say, and what we teach them as parents will affect them either positively or negatively for the rest of their lives. Everything that they have to deal with is a result of us as parents and that responsibility is heavy. So, do I speak to them in scarcity mode? Do I eat McDonald's every day or do I eat clean? That programming can affect these kids in perpetuity." - Aaron Hinde   Leading Your Brand With The Golden Rule "There is no 'work' and there is no 'personal' life, it's just life. So, we have to approach it like that and when personal things come up, let's figure it out together. We can overcome all obstacles but we have to treat people like human beings and treat them as we or they want to be treated. It all comes back to the super basic, Gold Rule we all should follow." - Aaron Hinde   Attracting Your True Tribe "It's okay that you're not friends with everybody. It's okay that not everybody is in your tribe because the great thing about a tribe is that you attract who you're going to attract and you're also going to repel who you're supposed to repel. If you're authentic, then you'll attract people who are also authentic and on that same wavelength and have a true tribe." - Aaron Hinde     Links From Today's Show Organifi LifeAID 242 Mastering The Mind For Business & Life: Aaron Hinde Spartan Race LIFEAID Co-Founder Aaron Hinde Speaks Out Against Highly Caffeinated Drinks Being Marketed to Kids Alan Watts Orion Melehan Beyond Meat John Mackey Jesse Elder The Two Faces of Jesus 293 Dr. Jade Teta Marshall Sylver Wellness Force Community  M21 Spartan Race Spartan Race Partners With LIFEAID – Names Leading Supplement Drink FITAID Official Recovery Drink Aaron Hinde and Orion Melehan at Event Santa Cruz The LIFEAID Story by Co-Founder Aaron Hinde How Aaron Hinde, Co-Founder of LifeAid, Made it to Success LIFEAID Products LIFEAID Product Locator LIFEAID Press FITAID on Instagram Aaron Hinde Facebook Twitter Instagram LIFEAID Beverage Company Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube   About LifeEAID LIFEAID founders Orion Melehan and Aaron Hinde first met in a Crossfit Box in Santa Cruz, California, in 2009. Melehan was a Certified Financial Planner and Hinde was a sports chiropractor who worked with many local athletes. A friendship was quickly struck, which later evolved into a business partnership. The two were convinced that conscious consumers would start to demand alternatives to high sugar, high caffeine, and artificial mass market drinks. The Launch of LifeAID They were equally convinced that consumers were looking for more functionality than the caffeine found in energy drinks or isotonic sports drinks.  After months of brainstorming and collaboration, they created their vision for LIFEAID and funded it with a mere $30,000 apiece. Melehan’s financial expertise helped craft the business plan.  Hinde’s background in nutrition and chiropractic care proved essential when developing LIFEAID products as he worked with their team of a biochemist and beverage scientists.

If they're not, there are some really good questions you should now ask yourself: Are they making you a worse human being? Do their values relate to your values? Do they have integrity and keep their word? Do you? Those are the questions I ask people when they've hit a wall in the relationship or they're complaining about their partner. The biggest factor of rejoining one's self is choosing yourself for the first time." - Mark Groves Why Anniversaries Aren't A Relationship Success Indicator "We often hear from older generations that people don't take commitment seriously these days. Well, some people don't but some people who have didn't take it seriously or they had side issues back in the day. If we say that people leave relationships too early now, I'd like to put on the table that people stayed far too long in a relationship before. We make relationship length the predictor of relationship success and sure, that's one marker of it but as soon as you know anyone who hates each other who's together, it's kind of eroded the value of that number. Now, we're in this revolution where we seek relationship depth."  - Mark Groves Taking Responsibility For Our Wounds "A lot of our wounds are not our fault but they're our responsibility. We might not have been dealt the best hand in life but we can have the mindset that we're going to play these cards well. When we step into that space, then we're empowered." - Mark Groves   Links From Today's Show Alan Watts Organifi David Deida Marriage, a History: How Love Conquered Marriage by Stephanie Coontz Caroline Myss Mark Groves Podcast: Making Your Heart Make Sense Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl Viktor Frankl It Didn't Start with You by Mark Wolynn Eckhart Tolle 288 Greg Woodhill 055 Gay & Katie Hendricks When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön Letting Go by David R.
