Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

Fall is the season of harvest; a moment of appreciation and gratitude. Winter is a hibernation period of inner work, reflecting, and preparing for what's next. Spring is a time of creation, going through the process, and planting the seeds. Summer happens when all of the work from Spring is now flourishing, blossoming, and coming to life. However, each season requires different energies and you cannot force yourself into a season; you have to be honest and honor each season." - Tommy Baker Which season will help you take the next big leap in your life: Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter?   ---> 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.

Find out how honoring your seasons will give you the power to let go of inner struggles, tune into what you need right now, and create something wonderful.    The Leap of Your Life Get your copy of The Leap of Your Life here There's a bold decision in your life you've been waiting to make, and every day passing by is a reminder of what hasn't happened. Conveniently tucked in a box labeled "someday", the fear of the unknown has taken a grip on your life and put your dreams on hold. Until now. Whether your leap is quitting the soul-sucking job and starting your own business, taking a bold chance on love or finally going all in on your dreams, The Leap of Your Life is the ticket to get you there - all while having the time of your life and ensuring you don't wake up years down the line with a sinking feeling of regret. Author and high-performance coach Tommy Baker has helped thousands of everyday people identify and take their leap, step into courage, and create a life they can't wait to wake up for. After interviewing 250+ of the world's most powerful entrepreneurs, thought leaders, experts, spiritual teachers, and athletes he discovered a common theme: They all took a leap, even if they were full of fear - and it radically transformed their experience of life.     Listen To Episode 281 As Tommy Baker Uncovers: The current winter season that Tommy is now experiencing, what it means for him personally, and how it's allowing him to grow inside. Why honoring your seasons will help you pause and tune into your body. Our inability to force the different seasons in our lives to happen when we don't have the energy or mindset for them. Why some people will use a winter season has an avoidance mechanism to not do the real inner work. Why many people in spring seasons are spiritual bypassers who are always looking for the latest "life-changing tool." How constantly being in a summer or spring season can lead to burn out and not let the magic actually happen. The fact that everything in life including our emotions and negative thinking is just temporary. Their meditation retreat experiences and the struggles they faced during them including Josh's 10-day Vipassana Meditation. Why building friendships might be harder for those who don't already have a good relationship with themselves first. The importance of leaving space for yourself to take a pause, a breath, and a moment of stillness before jumping in on what's next in your agenda. Why nature is the fastest connection to the soul that we have access to through breathwork, meditation, and spending time outside. Learn More The importance of learning from elders so that one day we may become one ourselves even if we don't know all the answers yet and are still growing. Negative comments Josh and Tommy have received about their work and how that actually validates the work they are doing for higher emotional intelligence in our modern world. Why it's healthy to pause and question your path when you're at a plateau and reach a break down before a breakthrough. If you want to make a change, you can make that happen by changing your environment diving deep into what is holding you back. The biggest distraction American's are facing that is keeping them from self-love and being able to sit with their emotions. How to know it's time to let go of a toxic tribe of people that are holding you back from being yourself, your true potential, and what you want in life. The power of dating yourself and really getting to know who you are without other people telling you how to act, think, and be. How he sets up healthy boundaries to spend time on himself and with loved ones to create even more powerful relationships. The deep commitment and growth both Tommy and Taylor have experienced together through constant communication, letting go, and new life changes.   Power Quotes From The Show "If we're pushing ourselves and we're thinking bigger and bolder, I sure hope we're also questioning that path. If it's the right path then we'll double down and be more committed. If it's the wrong path, then that will manifest itself." - Tommy Baker   The Four Seasons of Life "If you're going to experience a winter season, you have to be prepared for some of the inner work and emotional challenges that are going to come with that. Just like Winter, the seasons of Spring, Summer, and Fall will have their own unique challenges as well. Why do people spend a lot of time in Winter and don't step into their true power in Spring? It's because the idea of creation and birthing something that didn't exist prior to your notion of bringing it to life requires a lot of courage because it's no longer yours and it's out in the world. Once it's out in the world, people can throw stones at it. You can impact people but people can look at what you've done and make assumptions about you. When you're in Spring and Summer, go all in on those seasons; that is your time to literally light it on fire and speak your truth." - Tommy Baker   Questioning Your Path "While on your journey of growth and discovering who you are, you will of multiple moments of questioning your path and I never see that as a bad thing. Whether you're on track or off track, questioning your path is very healthy. If you're off track, it's very obvious and hopefully questioning your path will lead to some new insights and breakthroughs that will put you back on track. However, even if you're on track and you're committed to your mission, when you question it, you will have the opportunity to gain new insights and perspectives but also reaffirm your commitment."  - Tommy Baker     Leaving Space For The Magic "If you don't leave space for the magic, that's a big loss. So, delete some things from your life like social media or binge-watching Netflix. The average American watches 35 hours and 25 minutes of TV a week; that's a lot of magic that's being given away."  - Tommy Baker     Links From Today's Show Anahata Ananda Resist Average Academy Ep. 92 | 7 Steps For Success in 2018 with Anahata Ananda Vipassana Meditation – A Spartan Race For The Mind The Leap of Your Life  WFR 063 Karan Bajaj WFR 254 Tommy Baker: The Art of Surrender Larry King Jason Silva WFR 272 Udo Erasmus Resist Average Academy Podcast UnResolution The 1% Rule Tommy Baker – Influencive Blogs Tommy Baker Facebook Twitter Instagram Resist Average Academy Facebook Instagram YouTube   About Tommy Baker Ever get excited and inspired by a bold vision — then completely get lost on what to do next?

How doing an internship at the Berkeley Psychic Institute changed her life as she learned how to help others discover their own intuition, reveal their deepest power, and understand how to work with the energy around them. What made her and Adam feel truly called to coach people in one-on-one sessions and retreats. The soul contract and free will of choice that we all have to create whatever experiences we want in life. How a near-death experience allowed her to reemerge with her soul and stay on the path she was meant to follow for Bee The Wellness. Who her Authentic Self Program is for and how it's broken down into three modules over 9 months. The importance of really investing yourself and committing to doing the inner work for long periods of time rather than just relying on a quick fix to get you there. Her own inner work process including letting go of the past, negative thoughts, struggles, and toxic emotions. Why we struggle so much with the process of feeling our emotions, experiencing them, and finally letting them go. Her experience with plant medicine and how it has helped her surrender her struggles and emotions in order to connect to something bigger than herself. Learn More Why the plant medicine experience begins as soon as people feel called and have decided to take part in a future ceremony. The fact that plant medicines and psychedelics have come so far in helping people heal and yet this concept is still so new for the American society. How the brain is naturally wired to have a neural network that was established when we were in our mid to late teens and how you can differentiate yourself from who you were then to who you are now. Why experiencing HALT - Hungry, Lonely, Angry, Tired will keep us from moving forward and letting go of old thoughts, struggles, and emotions. The power of getting a good night's sleep to help you show up strong in the world the next day. What helped her realize she needed to hit the pause button and incorporate more stillness in her life.  How you can create and cultivate stillness in just a single breath when you have a busy schedule to keep up with.  Why getting into your body and moving when you're in a shame spiral can be extremely beneficial to take action and move forward from negative thoughts. Her own experiences with low-frequency vibrations including shame. Power Quotes From The Show "Exploring your authenticity is how you get into alignment and to another place where you're at home with yourself. When you are authentically you, you are not constantly fighting yourself anymore." - Vanessa Lambert Accepting Your Unique Self "I was fighting this idea of who I should be rather than who I really am. I was fighting the vision of who I thought I was supposed to become, the world I was supposed to live in, and what I was supposed to represent rather than just being me. A lot of us are going through that same struggle of having a duality of which version is really us and which version are we going to commit to being." - Vanessa Lambert   A Commitment For Positive Change "We're all super addicted to quick fixes but to make real change, you have to commit to the process, practice, and follow it for a while. This isn't just a 21-day fix, this is about really digging deep to uncover your authentic self." - Vanessa Lambert   Love Is The Answer "Love is the answer. At the end of the day, we get to reconnect with love in whatever way that helps us have deeper respect, a better relationship, and hone our skill with love because it is a skill. Love is granted to everyone but we don't necessarily feel that way about it all the time and it really is a skill to understand how to cultivate it, express it, and work with the pattern of love in our lives. For me, being a human and being in the human experience is really about understanding how to come into oneness with love." - Vanessa Lambert   Your Soul Contract "Your soul has a contract with what it wants to work on within this lifetime and you're definitely put into a path of opportunity to explore the things that will give your soul a deeper and richer experience of itself but I think it all comes back to love. It seems so simple and easy but that's it; it all comes back to that essence of love." - Vanessa Lambert   Links From Today's Show Organifi OURA Berkeley Psychic Institute Mark Victor Hansen Zig Ziglar Katie Cordoza Glen Cordoza Be Here Now by Ram Dass Graham Hancock Awakened Futures Summit 2019 Tim Chang Mikey Seigel It Starts With Food by Melissa and Dallas Hartwig Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by Dr. David R.

As a promising young gymnast, her coach asked if she would instruct the introductory classes at her gym. Her natural love of the movement was only deepened by sharing it with others. There began her basis of learning to coach and her understanding of the unique importance of the teacher-student relationship. No stranger to competitive sport, Vanessa played soccer, basketball, swam competitively, and was also co-captain of her cheerleading squad. A Natural Coach In her early 20’s she moved to Maui to improve her surfing practice and became one of the first female surf instructors in the Hawaiian islands and a true force in the water. She and Adam were also an integral part of the CrossFit NorCal team that took third place in the affiliate games in 2009. Throughout her life, she continued to evolve her diet in order to better fuel her performance and her busy schedule. In fact, Vanessa had already embraced the Paleo diet when she began training with Robb Wolf as a client. She had seen the dramatic benefits of doing so and was delighted to find out that not only did her coach agree, but he was one of the thought leaders on the subject. The Start of Bee The Wellness It would be her years at Norcal Strength and Conditioning training under the tutelage of Robb and his wife Nicki, that her ancestral wellness practice would deepen. After relocating to Los Angeles to pursue her music career, Vanessa was introduced to Mark Sisson. Working closely with Mark at the Primal Blueprint headquarters over the last four years, Vanessa developed the personal coaching program, Primal’s luxury retreat vacations, and has become a staple at the PrimalCon events where she and Adam coach the fundamentals of weightlifting and gymnastics. Vanessa feels truly blessed for having worked with the best and the brightest in the ancestral health world. This experience is what motivated her to co-create the Bee The Wellness program with her husband Adam. These days, her focus is to help as many people as possible become the very best version of themselves.     Bee The Wellness Meditation Challenge Featuring Vanessa Lambert Click here to download theBee The Wellness Meditation Challenge Featuring Vanessa Lambert At Bee The Wellness we believe that, as part of a holistic wellness plan, we should integrate and expand our mindfulness practice.

Why biohacking is actually a form of self-love and care for the mind, body, and soul. Power Quotes From The Show "Don't wait until you're sick to get healthy. If you love yourself enough, you're going to understand that you are connected to everything on this planet and you're going to connect yourself consciously to those things and express it to the world through your thoughts, actions, and words." - Thaddeus Owen Wireless Radiation "There are many effects from wireless radiation but the only way cell phones are regulated for safety is through whether or not they heat the body like a microwave oven. If your body heats up while using a cell phone, they call that "damaging" but that is not how wireless radiation affects the body. It affects the body through at least four different mechanisms and the higher the frequency and the more power you put behind it, the more damaging it will be. There are over 5,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies showing the biological effects of wireless radiation like those from cell phones, WiFi routers, and Bluetooth." - Thaddeus Owen (PMF) Wavelengths "Because our bodies are tuned to wireless radiation, it can be done in a way that heals the body. There are healing wavelengths that people are using all of the time such as Polarization-Maintaining Fiber (PMF) wavelengths. Can you use a cell phone and a WiFi router on a healing frequency? Yes! Are we doing this? No, and one has to question why that is." - Thaddeus Owen Advanced Technology "The more you dive deep into the primal ancestral and the more we look into this advanced technology, the more we need to realize who we are and put that energy out there because microwave radiation is just wireless frequencies and we can say it harms us but what if that was the most biologically adaptive frequency that we're able to change through our connection, entanglement, thoughts, and actions to be positive. Microwave radiation might just be something that can heal you instead of thinking of it in a harmful way but you can only do this if you are connected, centered, and looking at both the ancestral and the modern to integrate those two things to live in this modern world but in a way that you show up from your true self and really, deeply connect with others." - Thaddeus Owen  Links From Today's Show Sunlighten Saunas Paleo f(x) FitCon Cell Phone Radio Frequency Radiation - National Toxicology Program (NTP) BioInitiative Report New patent points towards self-healing displays from Motorola Can You Eat Celery Seed?

The impact of over-diagnosis of hyperthyroidism and what the problem could actually be instead. How diets such as Paleo and Keto can impact the thyroid's health. Why taking TSH and 3T4 tests are the best way to know if you truly have a problem with your thyroids if you're not on hormone medication already. The impact of nutrition on your body and how to begin really tuning in and listening to what it's telling you.

The concerns of over-supplementation and why it might be good to take a break from them from time to time. How some supplements can actually irritate the gut. First steps you can take to decide whether or not you have a gut or a thyroid problem including taking the gut quiz that Dr. Ruscio offers on his website.

How professionals can come together and respect one another despite opposing viewpoints.   Josh Trent and Dr. Michael Ruscio at Paleo f(x) 2019   Power Quotes From The Show   "I don't think there are certain foods that would just cause thyroid dysfunction compared to inflaming your gut and just making you generally unwell. However, there have been some completed studies that show simply going on a Paleo diet can improve thyroid function and immunity." - Dr. Michael Ruscio   "The primary cause of hyperthyroidism is autoimmunity. So, if the primary regulator of your immune system, your small intestine, and the primary cause of hyperthyroidism is autoimmunity and immune imbalance, there's your connection. If you eat foods that irritate your small intestine, that will likely rev up your immune system and will make the autoimmune symptoms worse or conversely, if you're eating foods that are healthy for your gut, you can see a decrease." - Dr. Michael Ruscio   "If you're on a medication and you suspect that you were not correctly diagnosed; especially if you saw an integrative, progressive, or alternative provider, most models of misdiagnoses are from these providers. These providers are not doing it with any bad intention but you should always check your lab work from before you went on thyroid hormone medication and if the lab range didn't flag you high TSH and low T4, then there's a very high probability that you don't need the medication that you're on. Now, don't do anything else before the first meeting with a clinician who can walk you through this and a conventional endocrinologist will probably do a very good job with helping you discover what support is best for you." - Dr. Michael Ruscio     Links From Today's Show Paleo f(x) The Future of Functional Medicine Review Clinical Newsletter UBiome suspends founders, sales of microbiome tests in wake of FBI raid Dr. Ruscio's Gut Quiz Thyroid Autoimmunity – What Are Healthy Levels for Thyroid Antibodies Tailor Made Compounding WF Player One | Pro Hats WFR 250 Dave Asprey WFR 206 Dan Pardi Dr. Ruscio's Great-In-8 Action Plan Healthy Gut, Healthy You by Dr. Michael Ruscio WFR 119 Dr. Michael Ruscio – The Orthorexia Connection WFR 223 Dr. Michael Ruscio – Healthy Gut, Healthy You WFR 236 Dr. Michael Ruscio - Healing The Second Brain Dr. Ruscio Radio Podcast Mapping Your Microbiota – Health Miracle or Hyperbole, with Professor Rob Knight Peptides – Medical Breakthrough for Anti-aging and Immune Health with Dr. Kevin Wallace When Your Brain is Stuck in Fight or Flight Mode - Annie Hopper Retrain Your Brain, Fix Your Gut - Ashok Gupta Dr. Michael Ruscio Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Google+ Pinterest   About Dr. Michael Ruscio   Dr. Ruscio’s best-selling book, Healthy Gut, Healthy You, has paved the way for a ‘start with the gut’ philosophy which has enabled doctors and patient to obtain improved outcomes with minimal expense and effort.

Our ego and inner coach are not the same. Our ego is always looking for control and a result but our inner coach is not. Our inner coach keeps us present by looking for being with what is, accepting what is, and finding out what we can learn from it." - Christine Hassler   ---> 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.

Sunlighten is the addiction you can feel good about.   How To Access Your Inner Coach: Christine Hassler What exactly is your inner coach and how can you use it to stay present, accept what is, and enjoy the journey? On Wellness Force Radio episode 277, Master Coach for Primal Health Coach Institute, Author of Expectation Hangover, and Host of the Over It & On With It Podcast, Christine Hassler, returns to discuss how the inner coach differs from the ego, the power of surrender, and why tools like diets, applications, or products are keeping you from dealing with the real issues at hand. Tune in as Christine shares the biggest life lessons she has learned so far including why you shouldn't be afraid to reach out for help, you don't have to keep struggling to learn, and you're never done doing the inner work.   Expectation Hangover Get your copy of Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler here When our expectations are met and things go according to plan, we feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. Risking little, we feel safe, in control, and on-track. But when life throws us a curveball or does not live up to our expectations, we end up with an Expectation Hangover. This particular brand of discomfort is profoundly sobering and uncomfortable. Christine Hassler urges us to not wallow in regret, self-recrimination, or anger, and instead see these hangovers as a catalyst for profound transformation. Often life has to throw us a curveball (or several) so that we look in a different direction. When we fully treat our Expectation Hangover on the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual level, we learn courage, faith, surrender, and love, and we make room for the kind of unexpected things that lead us more directly to a life we love—rather than a life we planned.   Listen To Episode 277 As Christine Hassler Uncovers: Her experience as the Master Coach for Primal Health Coach Institute and how she's helping other health coaches dive deep into their own personal life, relationships, and mission. The pros and cons of biohacking for better wellness. Her own wellness journey and the negative effects of Prozac on her physical, mental, and emotional health. The importance of focusing on both the emotional as well as physical sides of health when healing from depression. How humanity has evolved to a place where we can now dig deeper into consciousness and emotional intelligence. The expectation hangovers we all experience and her own experiences including having the fear of losing someone. The negative impact of being in a relationship in which you feel the need to rely on another person so intensely. The importance of looking back at ourselves and relying on ourselves to fulfill a need when we expect something from another person. How the inner coach helps us to accept what is, be present, and not look for a result vs. our ego trying to be in control of everything, keep us in our comfort zone, and find a result. The benefits of dating yourself and explore what you truly want in a relationship. Why there is power in surrendering, accepting, and going with the flow instead of relying on planning, knowing, and certainty. What tools she uses to make sure she's checking in with her emotions enough and she helps people with their own. Different body cues the body will give us when we need to pay attention to something within ourselves. What vulnerability really even means and why it's been so difficult in the past for men to express it up until now. How her truth has shifted from focusing on her inner work to understanding why we're all here in our human bodies.   Power Quotes From The Show "Whenever I'm looking for control or certainty, I know that's not really my inner coach and it's more of my ego trying to keep me in my comfort zone. Whenever I'm not really looking for a result but I'm willing to be present, accept what is, and work with it, that's my inner coach. So, the ego is always looking for a result but the inner coach is not. The inner coach is looking for being with what is, accepting what is, and finding out what you can learn from it." - Christine Hassler "If I hadn't dealt with the emotional at the same time as the physical, I think I'd still be struggling with so many things in my life like depression. Yes, getting off gluten was important and going on a Paleo diet definitely helped but I don't think that would've done it completely for me nor other people. Why at 11 years old was I keeping my feelings inside? Why was I depressed? You can change your diet, do light therapy, or take supplements but it's not going to take away the emotional pain. A physical change will help you feel a little better but if you really want to be optimized as a human being, you have to hit all of the levels." - Christine Hassler "In relationships, people can meet each others' needs but it's not everything. If we're outsourcing our needs or our happiness to anything outside of us, then we really don't have that access point to our full potential. We really have to be there for ourselves and make sure that our own needs are met as well." - Christine Hassler   Links From Today's Show Sunlighten Saunas Slenderella Paleo f(x) AMP #176 - The Wild Woman and The Wild Man with Christine Hassler | Aubrey Marcus Podcast Primal Health Coach Institute Slenderella Shawn Stevenson David Deida WFR 260 Stefanos Sifandos WFR 250 Dave Asprey WFR 206 Dan Pardi WFR 201 Micheal Gervais WFR 258 Boysen Hodgson WFR 132 Christine Hassler The Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler Over It & On With It Podcast Christine Hassler Facebook Twitter Instagram Youtube   About Christine Hassler Christine Hassler is a former Hollywood agent and achievement addict turned best-selling author, speaker, and consultant known for helping companies and brands understand and connect with Gen Y.

Discovering Our Human Nature: Erick Godsey How can journaling, meditation, and breathwork help you discover the unconscious characters that lie within? On Wellness Force Radio episode 276, Onnit Content Manager and Podcast Host of The Myths That Make Us, Erick Godsey, shares how he keeps in check with his ego, social media's impact on the conscious mind, as well as his personal insight and thoughts on monogamous vs. polygamous relationships. Discover why life transformations within yourself and others can only happen when you truly come from a place of radical authenticity. The Myths That Make Us Podcast Click here to listen to The Myths That Make Us Podcast I believe we each have an unconscious story about who we are and what kind of world we're in. This story, our myth, influences our goals, desires, mindset, and happiness. On this podcast, I'm going to help people identify the myths that make them. "When you are honest and vulnerable with people, it'll work out beautifully." - Erick Godsey Listen To Episode 276 As Erick Godsey Uncovers: How the Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology, Carl Jung, impacted his life and spirituality. Social media's impact on society including our understanding the self and becoming aware of our consciousness. His favorite tools for handling moments of stress including journaling. Why meditation and being still are challenging for people in Western cultures but journaling can help them get there. Why life transformations can only truly happen when we're radically honest with ourselves. The lack of a fatherly presence he felt in his life and how he tried to find a spiritual father in books, psychedelics, and philosophy. How psychedelics negatively impacted his mind because he wasn't truly ready for them and how journaling helped him put his mind back together. The idea that we choose our parents, life, and programming when we come to this life. How being unconsciously invited to act as his mother's psychologist impacted his mind, their relationship, what he's doing for humanity today, and why he's grateful for that. The fact that we're all just doing the best we can and no one has it all together even if it appears that way on social media. His relationship with his ego and how he keeps it in check by being present with it. The experiences and unique challenges he's facing in a new romantic relationship and what he wants from himself in it. His current stance on masculine, feminine, intimacy, and relationships. Monogamy vs polygamy relationships and why people choose to be in one type over the other. How we can create from a place of truth and love to not fall to the demise of ego, popularity, and social misappropriation. What he does to help him stay radically authentic to himself and for his social media audience. How he metaphorically related his unconscious character, dreams, and past relationships with women to the story of Samson and Delilah. Why he's radically honest with women about himself, his past wounds, and his wants in a relationship on the first date. Power Quotes From The Show "What tools can we use to uncover the unconscious characters inside of us that have been whispering behind the thrones of consciousness that gets us into these patterns in our lives and how can we re-program that?" - Erick Godsey "One set of people will find the divine through deep work and another set will find it through relationships. People who find the divine in the deep work seem to be able to go deep in a monogamous relationship and it makes them feel safe. In comparison, the people who find the divine in relationships might find polygamous connections a truly an interesting way to live in those bliss moments." - Erick Godsey "I know I'm going to die and I know that everything I do will eventually be forgotten at some point in time so what should I do? It's better to redirect your program towards the highest value than to try to invest all of your energy to uninstall all of the programmings you've already received. All of us can take the set programming from the first seven years of our lives and redirect it towards the highest possible good that the programming could be. We chose our parents and we chose this programming so it's much more effective to redirect it as opposed to try spending 40 years completely undoing it." - Erick Godsey "At least once a week during a work day I have to stop what I'm doing, leave my desk, grab my journal, and ask myself, "Why am I alive? What am I doing?" It might appear that I have everything in life together but there are times when I become so overwhelmed and I have to stop and reconnect to why I believe I'm alive." - Erick Godsey Links From Today's Show Sunlighten Saunas Paleo f(x) Onnit Dr. Rhonda Patrick Joe Rogan #66 Josh Trent | Human Optimization Hour w/ Kyle Kingsbury Carl Jung Why I Write The Morning Pages The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron Duncan Trussell Friedrich Nietzsche Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs King, Warrior, Magician, Lover by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette Enlifted Tim Ferriss WFR 196 Aubrey Marcus WFR 132 Christine Hassler WFR 191 Mary Shores The Myths That Make Us Podcast Erick Godsey Instagram Twitter YouTube    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

Conflict is an important part of human relationship. If you don't have conflict, can you ever really get to know somebody?

The place of emergence of life itself can't know itself unless it explores all of its own potentials." - Pau Chek Listen To Episode 275 As Paul Chek Uncovers: Why conflict is such an important part of human relationships to get to know people, start important conversations, and for spiritual growth to happen. Why a spiritual growth process helps lead us to death of the ego and expansion of self. His plant medicine ceremony experiences including envisioning a story of the past life of his son. The midlife crisis he faced and how plant medicine allowed him to heal the pain. How plant medicine, symbols, and strong sensations played a role in him and Angie taking the step forward together to becoming parents to their son, Mana. The various teachings he has gathered from various spiritual practices including spirit medicine, meditation, monks, martial arts and Christianity. His ability to be clairvoyant and a remote viewer with the ability to take his consciousness out of the body and go anywhere in the known world. His experience with psychedelics and how they can be beneficial for those who truly need them and are ready for them. The importance of properly diagnosing people for the right amount of psychedelics. The system he developed to properly prepare, process, and post-integrate people with plant medicine. The dangers of poorly run plant medicine ceremonies and why plant medicine is not for everyone. The strong truths that people may come to face in a plant medicine ceremony and why they might not be able to distinguish them between thoughts and reality if they're ill-prepared. The differences between the group soul, biological soul, intellectual soul, and awareness soul. The impact that the myth of consumerism has caused on our culture, relationships, and how we connect with one another. How repressing the human mind and our creative ability has led to trauma for years. What consciousness truly is in our world compared to how we used to see it. Why plant medicine ceremonies don't only explore personal traumas, challenges, joys, and highs but also the collective unconscious of everything that has ever been on this planet. The fact that the plant medicines do not give you the visions you see but they amplify what's already inside of you. The 4 Doctors you'll only ever need: Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet, Dr. Happiness and Dr. Movement. The dangers of doing too many plant medicine ceremonies to that point that you don't know what's real anymore. Power Quotes From The Show 'Plant medicines don't fix you; they illuminate where the healing is and show you what the possibilities are." - Paul Chek "Anytime you engage in a spiritual growth process, it's death to the ego because the more you grow spiritually, the more porous the ego becomes to your wants, feelings, and needs of other people and then your concept of self greatly expands. However, the ego will still inherently try to control and create the illusion of safety and convince itself that it knows what the outcome is going to be for us. That's when the process of spiritual growth and development will help us relax inner conflict and our need to control what happens in life." - Paul Chek    "You have to have spiritual courage to really grow spiritually because if you really want to take guidance from your soul, you have to be ready to realize that many of the things you're asking guidance on, your ego already has some kind of an addiction and your soul might trick you because you find your soul has a much broader sense of right and wrong than your ego could ever conceive of." - Paul Chek  "Until a person actually knows how to access their soul, they can't tell the difference between their soul and their mind. The soul is not as simple as people think it is. The soul has many levels and the mind is actually inherently part of it." - Paul Chek "A medicine plant is a seed but you have to fertilize, water, trim, and protect it every day to have an actual spiritual experience. Plant medicines don't fix you; they illuminate where the healing is and show you what the possibilities are but you have to become that person every single day to the degree that you have the spiritual strength or courage to depart from the old you to become the new you." - Paul Chek   Links From Today's Show Paleo f(x) The C.H.E.K.

Listen and discover how Mike is helping athletes, coaches, and everyday women and men develop a holistic mindset for life both in and out of athletic competitions. Mastering The Kettlebell Click here to learn more about Mike Salemi's Mastering The Kettlebell Program While this program is incredible in its depth, it only involves (and takes) one kettlebell to perform and covers the foundational lifts. I truly believe that with mastery of what I teach in the program, you will be set up to take kettlebells as far as you’d like to go- advanced movements, double kettlebell lifts, kettlebell “flows”, even entering a competition. Above all, gain rare insight into my overall thought process. This way you can assess different training scenarios and use critical thinking skills to come up with an optimal solution. To do this it truly does take a comprehensive system - and system being a keyword. It took me 12 months of work to outline organize and complete this training. My life’s work - all the struggles and successes- are reflected in it. So you and your clients can be set up for success.   "All great things are not achieved by just one person. There's always a community of people who have to come together to make the impossible happen." - Mike Salemi Listen To Episode 274 As Mike Salemi Uncovers: How he was able to help his build his family's business back up after the 2008 recession and the emotional roller coaster that experience brought him. His personal experience working a job that he did not love and how that impacted his wellbeing. What brought him to the Holistic Lifestyle Coach Program at the C.H.E.K. Institute. Why he felt called towards weight lifting and what it has taught him about emotional intelligence. What doing the inner work taught him about the similarities he shares with his father and the qualities he received from observing him. Why our greatest gifts can sometimes be our greatest weaknesses. The reason why he's taking time from competing to be present and focus more on being playful. How he gets adults excited about play through his fitness programs. The importance of having a fundamental skill in using equipment such as kettlebells before moving forward with training. His favorite way of working in a physical movement for strength training. His mission to work with fellow coaches that have a holistic mindset to truly inspire them and their athletes to focus on having a healthy living philosophy. How to begin a wellness journey with injury prevention as your top priority. The spiritual practice of embracing, feeling, and blocking out the pain he felt from a toe injury to be fully present in teaching. What it was like to work one and one with Paul Chek for both the physical and spiritual work. Why it took him two years until Paul Chek thought Mike was truly ready for his first plant medicine experience and what lessons he took away from it. His interest in becoming a Kambo medicine Practitioner someday in the future. What an ELDOA stretch is and the many benefits of adding it to your wellness routine. The lessons plant medicine is teaching him including being more aware of patterns and cycles of the males in his family. Whether or not we should have more plant medicine facilities throughout the world.  How to decide whether or not a piece of technology will actually help you accomplish your health goals or not.  Power Quotes From The Show "If the physical goal rises in a holistic system, so does the emotional and the spiritual. All of these goals have to rise in order to accomplish them in an integrated matter. The more I test myself or put myself in an uncomfortable situation, the more I'm going to be a better coach, friend, and able to have empathy for my clients." - Mike Salemi "Sometimes our greatest gifts are our weaknesses. Having discipline and being hard on ourselves can lead us to achievement but on the other hand, we should be a little bit more gentle with ourselves." - Mike Salemi "I'm truly here to share, support, and inspire both athletes and coaches to not only realize their truest potential in sport but also when they leave their sport so that they have some type of healthy living philosophy moving forward."  - Mike Salemi   Links From Today's Show The C.H.E.K.

Slowly but surely that becomes a movement against the current healthcare industry" - Adrienne Nolan Smith "All of us deep down know when we don't feel whole and we don't feel like we're really on the right track to living our best life or preventing and reversing from chronic illness when it might arise. It's important to do the work to arrive at a place where you feel whole and are able to experience everything that life has to offer from joy and movement to relationships and self-love." - Adrienne Nolan-Smith "You are the CEO of your health and all change starts with people speaking up. Slowly but surely that becomes a movement against the current healthcare industry and we truly have no choice because if you look at the rate of this chronic disease epidemic, it's just skyrocketing and there are no signs of it slowing down." - Adrienne Nolan-Smith "The conventional healthcare system loves scores, charts, and tests. So, I'm sure they could come up with some way to create a quiz or a test to score emotional intelligence if they haven't done so already. You can use those results to help any practitioner, doctor, or insurance company to understand the baggage that people with illnesses are holding onto as well as the fact that they're not self-aware or very emotionally intelligent to be able to work through what they're going through." - Adrienne Nolan-Smith "It's absolutely worth investing money into helping people quantify their emotional intelligence, understand their thoughts and feelings, and unpack what's inside. Sure it may take time to see trends and quantified results but I believe that anyone who invests in holistic health will see the impact of certain activities that either worsen or improve one's health." - Adrienne Nolan-Smith   Links From Today's Show Dr. Kelly Brogan The National Institutes of Health (NIH) PubMed The NIH Human Microbiome Project Dr. Laura Belus The HEAL documentary by Kelly Noonan Gores Kelly Turner Former surgeon general sounds the alarm on the loneliness epidemic Michael Pollan Johns Hopkins Psychedelic Research Unit 9 Key Factors Affecting Radical Remission From Cancer The "Loneliness Epidemic" Patient advocacy Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Research WFR 236 Dr. Michael Ruscio WFR 129 Gretchen Rubin WFR 192 Jason Prall WFR 199 Peter Crone WFR 226 Paul Chek The WellBe Podcast How WellBe Are You? Quiz WellBe Guides WellBe Health News & Research WellBe Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube   About Adrienne Nolan-Smith In her personal and professional experience, Adrienne Nolan-Smith has seen how integrative health and wellness are key to preventing and reversing disease. When she was 11, Adrienne was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Her conventional doctor prescribed antibiotics, but they didn’t work and her mother was then told there were no other options. Two years and multiple integrative therapies later, Adrienne was Lyme-free. Over the years, other health issues came up and each time it became clear that conventional doctors had tools to treat her symptoms, but they never got to the root of the problems, nor did they really try to cure them. In 2010, Adrienne lost her mother to suicide while she was on antipsychotic and antidepressant medications to treat schizoaffective disorder. At that point, Adrienne knew she needed to completely switch careers and began working for a healthcare technology company, hoping to fix the system from the inside. After several years working with hospitals, she realized that, until wellness is the standard of care, the current chronic disease crisis would only continue to rise. She also realized that until people demand wellness from their doctors, their brands, their employers, their governments and ultimately, from themselves, nothing will change. Adrienne founded WellBe to facilitate this change by helping you get and stay well, and demanding a system that supports you in this endeavor. Adrienne received her BA from Johns Hopkins University, her MBA from the Kellogg School at Northwestern University, and is a board-certified patient advocate (BCPA). She lives in New York City, where she was born and raised. Adrienne gets WellBe with acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and eating (mostly!) clean, real food.   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

Power Quotes From The Show "When you're fully present in the space that you occupy and you're not lost in your thoughts, it feels so good to be alive." - Udo Erasmus "While we're here on this planet, knowing that it's temporary, why don't we push to thrive rather than just try escaping from the pain by chasing carrots? We were made to thrive." - Udo Erasmus "Peace is the deepest state of being and out of that comes love. On that level, love is the superlative state of being because love is all about giving. Giving doesn't happen until we feel full or more than full with love. When that feeling happens, there's nothing else to do but to give and help others." - Udo Erasmus  "Oils are the most sensitive of all of our nutrients so they should receive the most care including protection from light, oxygen, and heat. Unfortunately, we're mostly giving them the least amount of care. We're just throwing them into a frying pan and turning them into smoke. When we burn the oils, they burn us. When we fry the oils, they fry our health. They're vindictive and treat us like we treat them." - Udo Erasmus "How can food not be medicine? Your entire body is made out of light, oxygen, water, and nutrients. Nothing else. According to nature, drugs are not part of making human body's that already work. No one has ever had a drug deficiency. We throw drugs at problems to suppress symptoms but that is not fixing the cause. We can fix the cause by coming back aligned with nature. People aren't well, they're either out of line with their awareness, life energy, inspiration, movement, relationships, or the big picture." - Udo Erasmus   Links From Today's Show WFR 265 Jennifer Sodini WITMA Live Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill by Udo Erasmus Man awarded $80M in lawsuit claiming Monsanto's Roundup causes cancer Abraham Maslow Joseph Campbell Finding Joe What is Health?

He was born in Poland during the Second World War to parents from Latvia and Estonia. His family emigrated to Canada when he was ten years old. He began his university studies at the age of sixteen and gained a B.Sc. in Zoology with a major in Psychology. This was followed by graduate studies in Biochemistry and Genetics at the University of British Columbia. In 1980, Erasmus was poisoned by pesticides, and, as a result of the experience, began to research the relationship between nutrition and health. He gave special attention to the effects of fats and oils on human health. Erasmus had become intrigued by the fact that Eskimos consumed largely fats, such as whale blubber, yet remained relatively healthy well into later life. In his research he discovered what he considered "healthy fats", that is fats which were beneficial rather than harmful to health. His thesis for his Ph.D. in nutrition was published with the title Fats and Oils in 1986. It was revised and expanded under the new name, Fats That Heal Fats That Kill (1993). Udo Erasmus has partnered with natural foods company Flora Inc., of Lynden, Washington, and Burnaby, British Columbia to produce the essential fatty acid blend called Udo's Choice Oil Blend as well as a line of probiotics and nutritional supplements.   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
