Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

The body tries to maintain balance but if you're eating all of these carbs because you're feeling all of this stress, that's an emotional connection to food and you're mitigating your stress via emotional eating. I've done that too, I'm totally guilty of that and I get it but fasting makes us brutally honest with our emotional connection to food. - Mike Mutzel What is intermittent fasting, how can you begin one, and what are its benefits?   ---> Join the Wellness Warrior VIP Club: get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.** ---> Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well.

Power Quotes From The Show   The Growth Edge Of Intermittent Fasting "Before you had all of these safety nets like Paleo gluten-free chips that you could just grab and eat whenever you were stressed without the guilt but now that you're fasting, you have to deal with that stress. When you begin intermittent fasting, you'll feel uncomfortable, awkward, and nervous but you have to figure out why you're feeling that way and what you're going to do to resolve, address, and heal it. That's where growth can take place with your intermittent fasting practice."- Mike Mutzel A Fasting Plan As Unique As You "There's a lot of confusion out there when it comes to creating your own fasting plan because first of all, everyone is so different. From a young athlete who wants to start a family to someone older, close to retirement, and as had a couple of kids, both of their approaches to fasting are completely unique. So, we have to consider the context but also the person's goals and their background. Someone who has been eating healthy their whole life will have a very different approach and set of goals compared to someone who has been eating fast food for several years and now needs to be a bit more extreme with their health." - Mike Mutzel Achieving Ketosis Through Fasting "When we start to fast, that's a natural way to get into ketosis. So, maybe the diets for keto and fasting are different but you can have success with intermittent fasting or prolonged fasting and not be on the ketogenic diet. It's a lot easier to have success with fasting or intermittent fasting if you are on a low-carb diet anyway because it lends itself to producing ketones."  - Mike Mutzel Recover Faster: FITAID RX ZERO (Sugar Free + CREATINE) Recovery Blend is Keto-friendly, with the same clean ingredients and essential nutrients you love in FITAID ZERO.

To live life ever forward, the only question that matters is, 'How did you love?' How did you love your neighbor? How did you love yourself? At the end of the day, that's all I want in my wellness capsule. Love with movement, love with nutrition, love with my significant other, love with the present moment, but love with myself is hands down the most important. - Chase Chewning How can we let go of the past in order to live a life ever forward?   ---> Join the Wellness Warrior VIP Club: get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.** ---> Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well.

Taking a step back and re-evaluating where he's at with his business and provided the best form of assistance to clients. Emotional, physical, and spiritual trauma he has experienced and worked through during the personal development process of his wellness journey. His impact on his millennial generation as a voice of conscious masculinity. Why fitness and easy movements are the ultimate "gateway drug" to better health. The fact that his first business coach meeting didn't even focus on his brand but who he truly is at his core. How Josh felt unaligned with the wellness apps and technology brands of the fitness industry so much so that it affected both himself and the mission of Wellness Force. Decline of his father's health until his death from ALS and the impact that his words and lessons of living a life ever forward had on Chase during that era. The three phases of intelligence: gathering information, applying what we have learned, and embodying the knowledge. Dating in this modern age and all of the weapons of mass distraction that are getting in the way of true connection. Priming Your Personal Development How to begin priming your personal development right now in this modern world. The rule of thirds for the different types of people you should keep close to you in life. Importance of focusing on loving and respecting yourself at your core first before opening yourself to a romantic relationship.

The fact that many of the deep-set beliefs we have aren't even our own, they've been passed down to us from generations ago.   Power Quotes From The Show   Fitness Is The Gateway Drug To Wellness "We want to feel better, we want our life to be better, and we're all seeking health and wellness but how do we achieve all of that? Where do we start? We figure that first, we have to lose weight, maybe by starting to run or go to the gym. It all starts with fitness. Fitness is the gateway drug to wellness. Fitness is the gateway drug to true happiness. Fitness is the gateway drug to everything we're seeking that we have no idea that we're even after. If we can get positive, physical results by working our bodies, what else can we achieve when we shift our mind?" - Chase Chewning False Connection "All of these weapons of mass distraction when it comes to dating, being, and connecting allow us this false inability to create our own world because we can live in our phones, through social media, and can do whatever we want whenever we want. We can Amazon prime our life in every way possible. Honestly, is it our fault or society's fault? Is it conditioning? If I can do all of these things in my life with extreme pace and get an extreme result, why can't I get that in my real-life relationships?"  - Chase Chewning Do You Know Yourself? "I was asleep for the first 29 years of my life. From 27 to 29, that's when I began to fully acknowledge that I needed to do something to change my life and work through my struggles. I didn't complete the inner work in two years, I began to become aware of my ego, toxic thought patterns, and what was no longer serving me that I needed to let go of in order to really understand what it means and to be able and allow myself to really love myself. I couldn't have done that any sooner in my life because I didn't know who I was then. How can you fully love someone if you don't know who they are? Do you love yourself? If not, do you even know yourself? Start there."  - Chase Chewning Recover Faster: FITAID RX ZERO (Sugar Free + CREATINE) Recovery Blend is Keto-friendly, with the same clean ingredients and essential nutrients you love in FITAID ZERO.

The greatest gift that you can give to your beloved: integrating your wholeness through enlightenment.   Power Quotes From The Show   The Divine Mind Code vs The Ego Mind Code "When you're in the Divine Mind Code, you really understand and trust that who you are is a perfect divine being. From that place, all that you are is revealed. You are this high-frequency being everywhere you go and your actual being is more important that what you are doing. Whereas when you're in the Ego Mind Code, you're in a victim mentality which is quick to judge. The Ego Mind Code separates us from our hearts, from God, and from each other." - Sandra Biskind   The Inner Stories Passed On To Us "Our ancestors had events happen where they had an emotional charge and they created decisions and beliefs that have been passed down to our bodies and cellular membrane. So, not only are we dealing with that we've brought in from past lives and from what's happened to us since conception to now but we're also dealing with our ancestors' inner programs." - Sandra Biskind   Love Is The Fuel Of Miracles "The ego mind is a culmination of all of the beliefs, programs, ideas, and stories that make up that part of inner judgment and fear that are separate from the perfection and love that you actually are. Unlike the ego, love doesn't and can't make up stories. Love is the fuel of miracles. So, from the place of love, there is no expectation; there is only joy, happiness, and success. - Sandra Biskind     Links From Today's Show Organifi Jack Canfield Vipassana Meditation – A Spartan Race For The Mind Codebreaker by Sandra and Daniel Biskind You Are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero Carl Jung 204 Robyn Openshaw Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian L.

She coached fitness competitors to the stage and has even graced the stage as a National Level Athlete and Fitness Magazine Cover Model herself.   Listen To Episode 294 As Danny-J Johnson Uncovers: Why the lessons you need to learn from plant medicine tend to take time to unfold rather than just overnight. Preparation and inner work are just as important as the plant medicine ceremony and post-integration. Lessons she learned from plant medicine about her relationship's infidelity and why it happened for her rather than to her. Being her authentic self on social media about her depression, suicidal thoughts, plant medicine experience, antidepressant medication, and healing journey. Why we have to go through difficult moments in life to experience the best gifts it can bring us. Different experiences of depression and suicidal thoughts she has had in the past which led her to seek the short-term medical help she knew she deserved. The side effects she experienced from taking Zoloft to fight her depression and then the eventual, personal switch to taking Wellbutrin for her unique mental and physical biology. How suicidal thoughts can occur depending on hormones, a woman's menstruation cycle, Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), postpartum depression and other factors. The real truth about plant medicine, psychedelics, why they're not glamorous at all, and how to use them as a tool for healing. The constant stigma surrounding depression and what we see on the surface rather than someone's inner struggle. The vital importance of mental health when also approaching emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness. Breaking Stigmas About Mental Health Approaching mental health in your family: both of Josh's and Danny-J's own stories and experiences. What you can do now for better mental, physical, and emotional wellness despite your family's past health history. The moment she realized she wasn't giving herself enough self-care and what she's doing now and in the future to change that. Taking away the negative charge that something might happen to you by asking yourself, "So, what? So what if that happens?" Why we all have different experiences yet every human being experiences the same feelings at one point or another in their lifetime. Epigenetics and why something that happened in your family's lineage three or four generations ago could possibly be activated when you're in certain situations in life. Negative consequences of spiritually bypassing mental health and difficult situations in the health and wellness world. How she applies her message of "you can't control what happens to you, you can only control how you respond and act from it" to her own life. The magic of social media to guide, connect, and help other people get to a better place. Setting healthy rules and boundaries for yourself around social media and including being wise about how you spend your time on your phone. Changing your language from saying, "I have to" to "I get to," and how that simple switch will completely change our perception and mindset in life.   Power Quotes From The Show   We Get To Choose Happiness "When people observe your life and they think everything is going great for you, you're perfect, or you have everything together, it's hard to admit that you don't have it altogether. There's still a lot of stigma around depression and people asking, "Well, what do you have to be depressed about? You have everything going for you." I have amazing friends, I have all the tools, and I know what to do. Our podcast is called The Best Life because we literally feel like we have the best lives and we get to choose that. I believe in choice and that we get to choose happiness." - Danny-J Johnson   The Common Thread In Each Of Our Stories "There are no new stories. A lot of our feelings are the same but we all have unique biochemistry and situations in life. You could have a cheating spouse, mourn someone's death, or get rejected from a job and still react the same way. We are all figuring life out based on all of our unique experiences and then finding the common thread in each one." - Danny-J Johnson   Setting Healthy Social Media Boundaries "A couple of years ago when I wasn't well and I was gaining all of this weight, I was following so many other fitness influencers and models on social media. Reading their messages of 'Getting in two a day,' or 'No excuses,' triggered these constant internal battles of feeling guilty that I wasn't working out even though knew I needed to heal by resting. So, I started to unfollow them based on whether their content made me feel bad about myself or if I was judging them. It's not their fault that I felt this way; they're living their own lives but I needed to unfollow people who weren't serving me. This wasn't about me watching all of them, this was about me staying grounded by putting all of my focus back on myself." - Danny-J Johnson

JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 293 Integrative physician, host of The Next Level Human Podcast, and author of several books including his latest, Human 365: Daily Meditations To Become A Next Level Human, Dr. Jade Teta, returns to discuss what a Next Level Human is compared to a Culture Level Human, the toxic construct of faking it rather than being it, and how we can improve society through horizontal hierarchies rather than vertical hierarchies. Listen and learn as Josh and Dr. Jade take a deeper look at how we can fully embody all of the lessons we have learned in life to become a Next Level Human through the Four Jobs of Every Human: Finances Fitness & Health Personal Relationships Purpose Human 365 by Dr. Jade Teta Click here to buy your copy of Human 365 Why do some people change and others don't? Why do some people succeed while others, just as talented fail? What makes one person who chases their passion find fulfillment while someone else is mored in regret. It is not luck, circumstance, access to money or who you know. It is also not about some esoteric new age idea like the law of attraction or the "universe has your back." It comes down to awareness and mastery of 6 POWERS that every human can learn to master. This mastery is what the Next Level Human practices every single day. What is a Next Level Human? Next Level Humans recognize there is nothing special or unique about their suffering. They know millions have endured the same hurt, pain and negative forces. What sets them apart is the ability to turn suffering into meaning and success for themselves and others. Next Level Humans are masters of The Six POWERS: PERCEPTION: The ability to recognize distraction and delusion, become present and self-aware, and rewrite the rules and stories of your own experience. OWNERSHIP: The ability to take radical responsibility for your life, declare who you are, and live your Honor Code. WISDOM: The ability to diagnose ignorance, recognize bias and dogma… and humbly seek truth using logic and reason. ENGAGEMENT: The ability to overcome indecision and apathy… and take conscious, definitive action. RESOLVE: The ability to transcend fear… and rise after failure. SHARING: The ability to use your signature strengths to better the world, without needing reciprocation or acknowledgment. Human 365 challenges your thinking and guides you toward change, one day at a time. You will no longer “leap and let the net appear.” You will leap and weave the net as you fall. You will no longer “rise to the occasion.” You will create the occasion. You will no longer believe “everything happens for a reason.” Things will happen. And you will make a reason. With this awareness and self-mastery, you can rise, fully-fledged, into your power as a Next Level Human.   Listen To Episode 293 As Dr. Jade Teta Uncovers: His next big project, Next Level Human, and why he titled it that and not something like Higher Level Human. How to make a difference for humanity and show up for the world as a Next Level Human. A new approach to improving society through horizontal hierarchies rather than vertical hierarchies. The Four Jobs of Every Human needs to master, broken down in detail that he includes in his book, Human 365: Finances, Fitness & Health, Personal Relationships, and Purpose. Why some of the areas for personal growth have to be taught by those in our wellness tribes and local community, not from a degree. The different variations of men, how they show up in several ways, and what he believes it means to be a strong man in the modern world. How men can be more intuitive with what their partner really needs and be able to fulfill that need for them. Deciding whether being a strong, tough man or an open, vulnerable, and soft man or something else is best for your partner, family, or community. What the alpha male looks like our society today with the focus on being your authentic self. The massive evolution for woman, what it means to be female in today's world, and what they expect from men. The "As If Principle" - Acting as if you are the person that you want to be so that you actually become that person. Be It Until You See It Why "faking it until you make it" is the wrong mindset compared to "being it until you see it." How both Josh and Dr. Jade react and respond to negative comments on social media. Alfred Adler's personality theory and why humans must develop the courage to be disliked in order to put the Cultural Level Human construct of thinking behind them. Tips and insight on being your authentic self to reach people online as a podcaster, personal coach, or wellness expert. How money shapes us and why it's become such a deep wound for some people including Dr. Jade himself. The old stories about money that Josh and Dr. Jade used to believe in based on their unique childhoods. How to be wise about your own money habits for now and the future so that you can do good in the world. The fact that many of your beliefs about money were passed down to you through your family or environment growing up. The impact of being brave enough to ask for help with something that you're struggling with including asking for money. Why giving into famous sayings like, "Leap and the net will appear" or "Things happen for a reason," are actually holding us back. The fact that Next Level Humans don't think about perfection because they know it doesn't exist; it's a Cultural Level Human construct. Power Quotes From The Show   Next Level Human vs. Higher Level Human "The title of Next Level Human was chosen rather than something like Higher Level Human for a very important reason. Higher-level says, "I'm better than you." According to Alfred Adler, we shouldn't look for vertical hierarchies which put us above others but horizontal hierarchies. Most people think they're above others and they try to keep others down or maybe I'll bring you up to where I'm at or maybe you're above me and I want to reach to get to you. We should aim to be Next Level Humans because each of us has something uniquely beautiful to contribute on this planet and everybody has that no matter what domain they're in. There's no Higher Level Human, it's just the Next Level Human and we all have something that each and every single one of us can only contribute to humanity." - Dr. Jade Teta   The Four Jobs Of Every Human "When you are tapped into the Four Jobs of Every Human: Finances, Fitness & Health, Personal Relationships, and Purpose, you have a much easier time feeling happier, centered, and more fulfilled because you know that you've taken care of these basic things that every human has to do. Of course, each and every single one of us suffers in one or more of these areas at any one time and most of us are struggling with all four. There's nothing wrong with that but being a Next Level Human is about saying, 'Okay, let me be aware of these four jobs, let me look and be honest about how well I'm doing with them, and let me grow and learn to get better at them because if I can't do my four jobs, I can't contribute my gifts fully to Team Human.' " - Dr. Jade Teta   Owning Your Contribution To The World "Where are you at on your journey to becoming a Next Level Human? There are things that you and only you can teach me and vice versa. You go out into the world, walk down the street, and you will meet people who are the only ones that can you teach you something that you could not possibly know without running into them. Each of us is contributing something to the world and having ownership of that contribution is one of the most important things we need to do as we mature as humans and that is the path of the Next Level Human." - Dr. Jade Teta     Links From Today's Show Organifi Oura Ring Carl Jung Sigmund Freud Alfred Adler Human 365: Daily Meditations To Become A Next Level Human Alan Watts Tao: The Watercourse Way Muhammad Ali Bruce Lee Bruce Lipton Joe Dispenza Terence McKenna Dennis McKenna You Are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero Landmark Worldwide Hoffman Institute Adler's Personality Theory The Next Level Human Podcast Next Level Human Introduction- Episode 26 The Metabolic Effect Diet Textbook of Natural Medicine Dr. Jade Teta Facebook Twitter Instagram   About Dr. Jade Teta Dr. Jade Teta is an integrative physician, author, and expert in the realm of natural health, fitness, metabolism, and self-development.

When you are living from that center in your core, there are no problems; there's just joy and happiness. Obviously, we need to do the inner work but if people just go back to their breath, their relaxed state of being, and paying attention to the stillness and silence underneath the noise, they can come back to their center wherever they are." - Pavel Stuchlik Our Natural Intuition "You want to pay attention to what is breathing you versus you breathing it.

After a life-threatening bout of the Epstein-Barr virus caused Stuchlik to quit his first career as a professional cyclist, he turned his attention to the world of business, launching Pavelʼs Vision, a successful enterprise selling carbon-fiber bicycle parts online. International real estate ventures soon followed, but Stuchlik was destined for America. Applying his lethal combination of charm, grit and a “never accept failure” ethic, Pavel was soon a leading franchise owner in OrangeTheory Fitness, the multimillion-dollar wellness franchise boasting more than 1,000 locations worldwide. By the age of 21, Stuchlikʼs net worth had already well exceeded $4 million.

As for music festivals, NOA | AON has performed at Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada, and at Imagine Festival in Hampton, Georgia, with more on the horizon.

This 100-mile run challenge for Operation Underground Railroad wasn't quite the same as Fit2Fat2Fit which was more of a long-term physical, traumatic experience but it was also emotional and mental which was my biggest takeaway from it. I've also done other smaller experiments here and there but this 100-mile run was 24 hours of suffering for the greater good. Sometimes that's what it takes to raise the human consciousness and realize that it's time to change. And that one thing is something crazy that catches their attention and creates greater awareness but also motivates them to take action. - Drew Manning How can you help bring awareness to an important cause that's close to your heart?   ---> Join the Wellness Warrior VIP Club: get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.** ---> Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well.

O.U.R.'s Underground Jump Team consists of former CIA, Navy SEALs, and Special Ops operatives that lead coordinated identification and extraction efforts. These operations are always in conjunction with law enforcement throughout the world. Once victims are rescued, a comprehensive process involving justice for the perpetrators and recovery and rehabilitation for the survivors begins. It is time for private citizens and organizations to rise up and help. It is our duty as free and blessed people. Domestic ServicesO.U.R. salutes our nation's law enforcement officers and prosecutors at the federal, state and local levels who protect our country's children. Law enforcement professionals skillfully investigate, arrest and prosecute those who violate children. Our nation's police efforts to protect children in the U.S. are light years ahead of many, if not all other countries. O.U.R. acknowledges the expertise and extraordinary work done by these dedicated men and women who bravely battle the scourge of child sexual exploitation. We share the mission to save children and seek justice for those who victimize them, therefore O.U.R. is committed to enhancing law enforcement efforts by providing resources where budget shortfalls prohibit child pornography, child exploitation or human trafficking operation from going forward. O.U.R. will also provide or facilitate child exploitation investigative training in U.S. jurisdictions where a need exists. Collaborating with law enforcement will reduce duplication, promote best practices and avoid other potential issues which might arise without close coordination. O.U.R. is privileged and honored to support our nation's heroes in this important cause to deter, disrupt and dismantle child exploitation and the trafficking of children in our nation's communities.   Complete Keto by Drew Manning Click here to buy your copy of Complete Keto by Drew Manning A New York Times best-selling author and expert trainer offers a ketogenic lifestyle reset packed with sustainable strategies and practical tools that really work--for life.

The fact that sometimes it takes us to do something crazy or different to raise awareness in our society. How he was misguided as a child to thinking that suffering was part of his self-worth and being a better person. Living an authentic life for yourself rather than acting a certain way or enduring obstacles for others. Why he puts himself through challenges like running 100 miles or Fit2Fat2Fat from a place of self-love rather than self-hate. The benefit of creating your own struggles and challenges to work through so that you can be resistant when the unexpected comes your way. Why doing the same types of workouts and routine actually leads him to experience burn out and go through the motions. The challenge of losing weight, getting in shape, and loving when your body when you're unhappy in the first place. How telling the public about his goal to run 100 miles actually helped motivate and hold himself accountable to his goal. Why he specifically chose Operation Underground Railroad to help raise money for them with his 100-mile run. How we can make Operation Underground Railroad's mission known throughout the USA and beyond through the power of influence and grabbing other people's attention through action. The power of being empathetic, connecting, and relating to other people and their struggles. The Benefit Of Creating Your Own Struggles How being vulnerable and sharing his own story of divorce, the journey of Fit2Fat2Fit, and other struggles have empowered others to share their truth from an authentic place. Why we so strongly believe that once we have an incredible physical body, we'll be set for life and everything will open up for us but that's so far from the truth. The importance of really digging deep down to your darker side to be able to transform your physical, mental, and spiritual self. Old ways of being when it comes to fitness and health compared to the new narrative of not only focusing on the physical but emotional, mental, and spiritual self as well.

Being in great shape doesn't guarantee happiness. Yes, workout programs work for physical transformation but are they bring you self-fulfillment? I'd say, no.” - Drew Manning   Motivation Through Self-Love "When I do an event like running 100 miles, it's coming from a place of self-love instead of self-hate. Coming from a place of self-love instead of self-hate, it's a different type of motivation that helps me complete these challenges. Instead of hating or punishing myself, self-love allows you to create a better relationship with your body." - Drew Manning   What It Actually Means To Be Successful "Yes, a person's body will change when they begin a new health program and they become less obsessed with that number going down the scale but they also become super happy with who they are, they feel better, and their perception on health, fitness, and success begins to shift. Success isn't based on that number on the scale going down; it's so much more than that. Success is about who you're becoming while you're taking that journey up the mountain." - Drew Manning   Recover Faster: FITAID RX ZERO (Sugar Free + CREATINE) Recovery Blend is Keto-friendly, with the same clean ingredients and essential nutrients you love in FITAID ZERO.

Exploring The Power Of The Breath Breathing habits you've unconsciously become accustomed to such as breath-holding that signals the body and the lizard brain that it's in danger. The incredible impact that making an audible, vocal breath sound makes compared to the silent one for your nervous system. What thought patterns, emotions, and psychological states breathing reveals in you when you pay close enough attention to it. Why getting a handle on your emotional state is key for being exposed to devastating and stressful situations. Steps he took to help him through his son's death including using the breath as a tool for greater emotional intelligence. The power of breath as a foundation for those who work in the creative space of speaking, singing, and performing. Discovering your authentic truth when you pause, let go of the old way of being, and become aware of what is actually happening in your life. Dealing with the emotions and memories that bubble up and are released during breathwork and meditation. How the practice of relaxing his jaw during inhaling helped Tony Robbins lower his blood pressure by 15 points in a week and it never went back up after that training with Dan. Why breathing is so subjective and what matters the most are the muscles being used, what you're focusing on, and whether you're relaxed or tense rather than the rate of breath. The fact that people will sometimes get different results even though they're using the same techniques as another person.   Breath Mastery "Breath mastery is learning how to use the breath as a tool, as a force, and as a bridge for health, for growth, and for change. Once you discover the power of breathwork, it's almost like you've found out that you have an arm growing out of your back and now you realize it's there and all the amazing things you can do with it. We've tapped into the power of breath enough to survive but we haven't entered a process of higher consciousness with it." - Dan Brulé   Coming Back To Our True Selves "The breath is a way to come back to who we really are but people don't use their breath enough or correctly. They kind of practice it through the exercises they learned in a yoga book but they don't integrate it into their life as a strategy like they do with brushing their teeth, taking a shower, or eating. Breathwork should be on the level of those activities that need to be done consciously every day but people don't see its potential yet." - Dan Brulé   Breathing In Energy "When we inhale, we're charging ourselves with energy. Take the time to actually breathe in and consciously focus on it. You're not breathing in air, you're breathing in energy. So, when you let it go of it in the exhale, you can observe how your body is responding, focus on the strongest physical feelings, and breathe into those body parts that need energy and your highest level of attention." - Dan Brulé   Expressing Ourselves Through The Breath "Through the breath, we make sure that what's coming from us is coming from who we really are. Breathing gives us a chance to very consciously and deliberately connect to our inner intelligence, begin to trust it, and allow it to express through us." - Dan Brulé       Links From Today's Show Organifi 086 Mark Divine HeartMath Sandra Biskind 203 Brian Mackenzie The M21 Wellness Guide Tony Robbins Dr. Richard Brown Wim Hof Method SOMA Breath Synesthesia Breath via NOANAON Stan Graf - Holotropic Breathing Performance Breathing Rebirthing Breathwork Shamanic Breathwork  Transformational Breath 365 Breathing Zone with David O'Hare Dr. Patricia Gerbarg 275 Paul Chek 055 Gay & Katie Hendricks Eckhart Tolle Dan Brulé: Mastering Breathwork For Success Just Breathe by Dan Brulé Shut Up and Breathe by Dan Brulé Breath Mastery Workshops & Membership Facebook Group - Breath Mastery Dan Brulé Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube   About Dan Brulé Dan Brulé is a modern-day teacher, healer, and a world-renown pioneer in the field of Breathwork.

When I had cancer, I was also unconscious and had become a slave to my emotions. hatred, and anger. That disease was basically bad energy that pooled into tumors and just about killed the host. The more time you're spending in a state of love, consciousness, giving, and divinity, the purer you are. The universe rewards that state of gratitude; especially when you learn to love yourself so much that you ask for what you desire and what you deserve because you have exactly what you deserve right now all the time. - Mike Koenigs Do you live with the nagging feeling that you should be doing more?

According to the US Small Business Administration, 9% of the US population are small business owners and entrepreneurs. That means over 150,000 small business owners will be diagnosed with cancer, and more than 50,000 won’t survive, leaving their families, employees, and customers behind. Until now, there hasn’t been a handbook for business owners who are diagnosed with cancer and have to deal with running a business that takes 40–80 hours a week and at the same time caring for a spouse, children, employees, and customers. This breakthrough book, Cancerpreneur, guides the entrepreneur, business owner, spouse, children, employees, and friends through the process of dealing with the complexities of a cancer diagnosis and treatment. Stage 3a cancer survivor, serial entrepreneur, and 13-time #1 bestselling author, Mike Koenigs, provides a solution to this complex mess. He successfully survived a cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, while keeping his marriage, relationship with his young son, and business intact. During his recovery, he also managed—with the help of his incredible team and advisors—to package and sell his business to a publicly-traded company. As a 5-year survivor, Mike’s friends, family, and associates frequently call him for cancer advice. After taking hundreds of calls and giving hours of cancer and health recommendations, suggestions, referrals, and solutions, Mike finally turned his experience and expertise into a bestselling book that can provide entrepreneurs diagnosed with cancer with life-saving strategies.

What the environment was like growing up in a low-income family and how that helped his journey to who he is today. What captured his attention the most about Tony Robbins' Power Talks with Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer so much that it transformed his life. The great resident frequency in the world at the great pyramids of Egypt and what happened when he corded in the sarcophagus. His career of owning and selling so many businesses to the point where he no longer enjoyed it and felt completely misaligned. The journey of healing his soul and becoming realigned with who he is at his core by putting his energy into his wellness, family, and eliminating old trauma. His cancer and how that experience allowed him to see a whole new side of empathy and compassion to the separation of flesh from the soul. How we can let go of being slaves to the control of trauma when we recognize our emotion and that it is not who we are. Separating what situations are real and not real so that we can move on from past including inherited thought patterns, emotions, and trauma. What we can do physically to boost our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Understanding and Letting Go Of Trauma Epigenetics and how trauma can be passed on for years and years through multilevel DNA.

The low-frequency and current state of mind embodied by the U.S. government and how it reflects the fear, anger, and hatred we have as a society. His intentional plan of setting healthy boundaries and saying 'yes' or 'no' to cleanse his life and focus on his health, relationships, and spirituality. Power of self-awareness and how he identified what skills he is good at and not the best at for his career path. How doing less and letting go of what was taking up most of his time allowed him to focus on what was truly important for both business and personal life so that he can grow. The belief that the universe is eternal, there is no beginning nor end and every type of situation out there is possible. We have the power to filter out anything we don't want in our lives from our phones, media, and real-life. His wife's primary focus on safety and how he honors that every day through his actions, voice, and energy. Granular presence through simple activities like making your bed every single day and how that helps us live life well. [spacer height="20px" id="2"] Power Quotes From The Show   We Are Creators On A Mission "Imagine that there is no beginning and there is no end. In fact, I believe that the universe has been and always will be eternal. I do believe in a universal consciousness which for me is God and I love the notion that man was created in God's image. So, we have a God-like identity, and image, and the nature of man and woman is to constantly evolve. Our purpose is to love, to procreate, to experience an identity. To give glory to your Creator is to become self-realized. So, of course, this life is a simulation; you only have five senses. The question is, is this a man-made creation? I believe we are created in God's image and we have our God within us. We are in fact Creators who's mission is to become fully realized that we are divine." - Mike Koenigs   A Timeline Of Fear "We all have a timeline of where our fear kicks in. It could be 5 minutes from now or 5 years from now. This is why you hear about multi-billionaires who are absolutely miserable because they're living in the trauma and terror of yesterday instead of resetting and realizing that those experiences served them and helped them become who they are and allowed all of their successes happen. Acknowledge and thank that dear soul and trauma for giving you who you've become as well as welcome yourself to the first day of the rest of your life." - Mike Koenigs   The Next Step In Human Evolution "We have not yet educated ourselves as human beings about our emotions to the extent that we have science and technology right now. It takes a long time to train both the animal body and the spiritual body so that they connect. Our unified, holistic, psychological, and emotional education is weak. We are human beings and we have an opportunity right now to evolve into super-beings and that is the next step in human evolution."  - Mike Koenigs   Links From Today's Show Upgrade Labs Organifi The Benefits Of Lemon Balm For Sleep And Wellness 250 Dave Asprey Neale Donald Walsch Tony Robbins Deepak Chopra Wayne Dyer Whole Life Expo Louise Hay Jack Canfield Tony Robbins' Money Masters Program Capability Amplifier with Mike Koenigs and Dan Sullivan Your Professional Decline Is Coming (Much) Sooner Than You Think Codebreaker by Sandra Biskind Black Mirror Elon Musk Joe Rogan 206 Dan Pardi Mike Koenigs Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn YouTube   About Mike Koenigs Mike Koenigs helps business owners and entrepreneurs get paid for BEING, instead of DOING by becoming Transformational Business Influencers, authorities and thought-leaders to create impact, income, and a great lifestyle.

A porn addict is looking for connection, warmth, and comfort but they're scared of being vulnerable and rejected by someone in real life. So, the brain has found a synthetic version of the connection they're craving. There's nothing wrong with wanting to feel intimacy but we have been conditioned to be less relational as far as eye-to-eye, person-to-person contact.  - Greg Woodhill What exactly are the detrimental effects of porn and sex addiction to both the brain and heart?   ---> Join the Wellness Warrior VIP Club: get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.** ---> Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well.

Various categories of sex addiction and why addiction isn't always intercourse for some people but porn instead. Signs to be aware of that an unwanted behavior is actually an addiction. The fact that in 2017, 46% of 11-13-year-olds had already seen porn. Easy access that people have to porn through the internet compared to decades ago when this online world didn't exist. Why it's so difficult to regulate the amount of porn that is available to us especially online. Why so many people are attached to porn because it's an inanimate object that won't judge them like an actual person in real life. Facts that the vast amount of pornography is made, produced or created by men for men while the women are experts at selling it by allowing themselves to be humiliated, dominated, and hurt. What Porn Addicts Are Actually Craving how porn can build up a person's shame, negative thoughts, and eroticized rage. The term, 'pornosexual,' for those who prefer to be with pornography than be with another person. Our natural desire and need to procreate and how porn takes that natural drive and funnels it to a place that's solo, secretive, and far less scary than being rejected by another person. How smartphones have increased the impact on our lethargy, anxiety, sleep, focus, and our need for distraction. What porn addicts are actually craving for including warmth, connection, and acceptance The synthetic condition of porn and how it mirrors want addicts desire the most. You don't need permission to open up to share your thoughts and emotions with other people. How he helps men understand and realize that it's okay to let someone know when they've hurt your feelings or what emotions you're experiencing. Chaos vs. Order - Why the chaos of addiction can actually be a means for showing us order and love for those who are ready to get real with their emotions. Diagnostic criteria for porn addiction to help you discover whether are living with it or not.   Power Quotes From The Show   Fear Of Rejection And Judgement "Porn doesn't judge you and thus the attachment to the sexual experience is one in which the person is completely in control; it's a one-person system. So, if you bring that person to a room where there is another living, breathing human being who has feelings, needs, and preferences, it's like a record scratch." - Greg Woodhill     What Is A 'Pornosexual'? "A pornosexual is not a sexual orientation but someone who would rather be with pornography than a man, woman, both, or neither. Pornography has become their first choice because that is what they're attracted to. It doesn't mean that all of a sudden they're not attracted to real people but it means that when someone sees a person they're attracted to, they have the need to go watch porn." - Greg Woodhill   Porn's Affect On The Brain "When someone becomes so consumed by pornography that it takes their natural drive and funnels it into a place that is solo, secretive, and far less dangerous and scary than walking up to a person and saying, "Hello," so that they can reject you while porn can't, it takes the brain to a level of hyper-stimulation because the amount of dopamine that is created in their brain is far greater than what a real-life encounter can create. I'm not saying porn is better or more exciting, any in-person physicality or romance is far better in every way but as far as dopamine, porn creates a craving so intense that it's all people want instead of trying to finding a way to enrich their life with a real person because they're afraid of rejection." - Greg Woodhill   Our Essence Of Love "We are all born with the essence of love. That's it, that's who we are. You don't need to learn to love or love yourself, you need to allow the love that you were born with and remove the obstacles that are in front of it. One of the biggest obstacles to feeling peace, love, joy, connection, and intimacy with other people, for a lot of people, especially young men, is the fact that porn is their lifeline." - Greg Woodhill     Links From Today's Show Organifi Porn Addiction Stats - Pornography Addiction Statistics, Percentages, Numbers, & Info The Digital Generation These 16 U.S. States Passed Resolutions Recognizing Porn As A Public Health Issue 046 Dr. John Gray 208 Maddy Moon David Deida "Pornography Addiction" in 2017 Pornography Addiction Leads To Same Brain Activity As Alcoholism Or Drug Abuse, Study Shows The great porn experiment | Gary Wilson | TEDxGlasgow 012 Dan Pardi 048 Nir Eyal Sex Expert Webinar Series: Porn Addiction, Toxic Masculinity, and Anger Charles Duhigg Sex Therapy Lecture Series: Greg Woodhill - Porn Addiction: Kryptonite to Intimacy Greg Woodhill: Root Causes Of Porn Addiction And Healing With Real Intimacy Sex and Relationship Healing A Brave New Man Podcast with Greg Woodhill Greg Woodhill, MFT, CSAT LinkedIn Instagram Twitter   About Greg Woodhill Greg Woodhill, MFT, CSAT is a licensed psychotherapist who has spent thousands of hours directly helping sex and porn addicts recover from their addictions.
