Her mission to help people have a different consciousness around money. Why our health is truly our most important asset. Why health and money are one and the same when it comes to freedom and having it all. Dr. Kirk's experience working with veterans and helping them heal through plant medicine. Their experience during a plant medicine ceremony together as business partners and what their biggest takeaways were that led them to deepen their relationship and focus on WealthyWellthy together in this new partnership. The fraud moment of Ayahuasca that people may experience including Krisstina. The roller coaster of emotions and thoughts they experienced when looking at the transition of their new life together.

The glass slipper theory of what love and relationships are supposed to be like when life really isn't like that at all.

How both Dr. Kirk and Krisstina find talking out loud helps them process their thoughts and thus has helped them grow in their relationship. Their own journeys to figuring out what life is all about for themselves and why we're in the game of love. Why we overthink money and health when they're actually pretty simple. How to apply the practice of love and how it can help you face your fears in real life. The power of being honest in your relationship to help it grow rather than using it to be cruel. Why you can't pursue love; you have to give love. How truth and honesty are ultimate forms of freedom. Why wellness and freedom are choices and how a choice can live in multiple categories. Power Quotes From The Show "What I learned the hard way when I went through my health crisis is that my body is my No. 1 asset. When you don't have your health, then the money, career, and possessions you own don't really matter; all you want is your health back. If we trade our health for wealth, what's the point? It all comes down to just realizing that love, our physical bodies, and our health are what's truly important because we use our bodies, health, love, and our hearts to experience life every day." - Krisstina Wise "Both Krisstina and I process our thoughts by talking to allow ourselves to think out loud. Our plans, next steps, what we want to learn and how we want to grow aren't really processed and solidified for either of us until we can talk about them. Who are you going to talk about them to if your partner isn't going through it with you? That's one of the powers of our relationship and one of the reasons why I've been able to grow so much faster since being in a relationship with her. It's all because I can talk things through with her and we do have the same appreciation for language, we have very similar backgrounds, and we can understand each other in a way that neither of us has ever been understood before." - Dr. Kirk Parsley "The real work is self-love first. That's where the work is. We have to learn how to love ourselves and until I had my breakthrough, I didn't love myself. I didn't feel loveable and I escaped myself through success and achievement. I had to completely break apart to be whole and love this person named Krisstina Wise. I love her but then that's not enough; I have to love me before I can love somebody else." - Krisstina Wise "We're so distracted going from one thing to the next and keeping ourselves busy and this is how we go around the fear. That's why plant medicine is so powerful; because it allows us to go straight to focusing on the fear. From a place of truth and love, we can face our fears." - Krisstina Wise "You can replace ego with fear because ego is a defense from fear. If I become angry, then I'm protecting myself from my own fear and I'm projecting that fear on somebody or something else. Anger is a form of bullshitting in which I'm lying to not only myself but others as well and I know it. If you're being egoic, then you're really being fearful and the only way to get past that fear is to not bullshit." - Dr. Kirk Parsley "When it comes to love and relationships, the fastest way to face fear is to be in an intimate relationship. This is the biggest mirror of our fears of abandonment, overwhelm, or not being good enough. The real-world practice of love is in relationships but we're out there searching for the next thing rather than being present and connected right now to one another." - Krisstina Wise What Others Are Saying About Wealthy | Wellthy Live Links From Today's Show WealthyWellthy Facebook YouTube Krisstina Wise Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Dr. Kirk Parsley Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Wealthy | Wellthy Live Event WealthyWellthy Supplements Falling for Money by Krisstina Wise Wealthy Wellthy Wise Podcast Money Masterclass The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Manson Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill Brendan Brouchard Tait Fletcher Tony Robbins WFR 055 Gay and Katie Hendricks WFR 125 Dr. Kirk Parsley About Dr. Kirk Parsley Doc Parsley served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One. He is a former SEAL and served as Naval Special Warfare’s expert on Sleep Medicine. Doc’s philosophy is simple; in order to optimize our health and get the most out of our bodies and minds, we must live more closely to the way we evolved as a species. Many diseases and disorders that we accept as “inevitable” in modern society are unnecessary complications of poor sleeping habits, living in a toxic environment, eating foods we were not designed to digest, and allowing stress to overwhelm us. As a physician, Dr. Kirk Parsley has been indoctrinated to "standard of care" medicine. As a life-long athlete and former Navy SEAL he's been heavily involved in nutrition, exercise, mental toughness, coaching, and constant self-improvement. Dr. Kirk has researched, practiced, trained, proctored, and consulted with world leaders in alternative, eastern, western, holistic, and functional medicine. He’s also had the good fortune to become close colleagues and friends with the greatest minds in nutrition and exercise. He incorporates all of his life experience into his passion for helping people make immediate and profound shifts in their health and performance. His belief is that we can all improve (you don't have to be sick or broken to want to be better), and optimizing your health and performance is not as overwhelming as all of the misinformation would have people believe. You simply need the right team of experts with you, and the self-determination to do it.

The rise of consciousness that is growing within modern society. Why selfishness and truly taking care of yourself can actually be a good thing for you in 2019. His stance on the importance of sharing content to express your truth and be authentic online rather than just be fishing for likes and comments. Power Quotes From The Show "When we are truly being authentic, we are not seeking attention, likes, or status. You won't see a state change in others if you're being inauthentic. Being selfish is one thing, being self-serving is another." - Ted Ryce "There's no need to quantify our emotions but for those who are searching for a way to do it, science can be something that leads them to a stage in life where they have more evidence showing the effectiveness of an emotional intelligence practice." - Ted Ryce "We try to use the power of our minds as we look for transformation through a book or a podcast. Sometimes a personal transformation can happen but far too often, even if we find clarity in someone's message, it still won't be a big enough state change because everyday life will eventually pull us out of it. Rather than taking that approach, I intuitively sought out certain activities that changed my state and the more I did them, the better I felt and the more they changed me as a person." - Ted Ryce “When we’re truly being authentic on social media, we’re not seeking attention, likes, or status; we’re sharing so that other people get something from it. If you check-in and feel like what you’re sharing is making a difference, you will also see a state change in other people. If you don’t, then maybe you shared it from an inauthentic place. Being selfish is one thing, being self-serving is another.” - Ted Ryce "We all need to find what works for us and check-in internally rather than use research, randomized controlled studies, or a guru telling us what to do. We need to check in internally because only we have the answer and no one else. Everyone else is just a guide or giving some suggestions that could be good or bad but only you have the true answer."  - Ted Ryce Links From Today's Show Ted Ryce Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube WFR 176 Ted Ryce: How To Deal With Stress & Overwhelm WFR 099 Ted Ryce: Eat, Sleep, And Move Your Way To Legendary Health WFR 049 Ted Ryce: Your Guide To Live A Legendary Life Legendary Life Podcast Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Michael Pollan Tried A Series Of Psychedelic Drugs...

About The 1% Rule Click here to buy your own copy of The 1% Ruly by Tommy Baker In a highlight reel, microwave world — you're led to believe success is right around the corner: It's not working. Not only is it not working with your ability to achieve your goals, but we've also never been more frustrated, stuck, stressed and unfulfilled. Most personal development is all about the big and bold vision, yet these days we're not missing ambition or dreamers... We're missing results and execution. But what if there was a way to shut off the noise, fall in love with the process and take one step forward every single day as you paint your life's masterpiece? Enter The 1% Rule — a daily system designed to help you close the gap without the crushing pressure that has kept you stuck in the past. The 1% Rule was designed to answer three core questions: Why do some people seem to achieve massive success with everything they do — while others can't seem to get out of their own way? What separates those who get excited and inspired for a season, a quarter or a few months — and those who are consistently on fire? What are the mindsets, principles, routines, and behaviors of those who execute daily, and those who sit on the sidelines pondering? ...through answering these questions over the last decade in the trenches with thousands of people — they are now the framework of The 1% Rule and are yours today. "All transformation is emotional. Whether you want to lose ten pounds or grow your business, you're going to have that emotional battle that comes with change and getting uncomfortable." - Tommy Baker     Listen To Episode 254 As Tommy Baker Uncovers: What the 1% rule actually is and his mission to share it with the world to help you win the day. Why the constant hustle and bustle isn't even doing you any good by creating constant overwhelm. His experience in a float tank and how it allowed him to explore his thoughts and eventually change his life. How he let go of everything in his life to up and move out west to Arizona for a new pace and environment. The power of not getting caught up in thinking 'how' you're going to make something happen. What the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen is all about and how it relates to the 1%. Why you can't make the most out of life transformations without being focused on small developments that can help you build a foundation. Why he focuses on purpose, attention, and action rather than 'hustle' when he wakes up every day at 4 AM. How he began to lean into his own emotions and feel each feeling for greater emotional intelligence. His experience working with entrepreneurs and helping them navigate their dark emotions, lack of something missing in their lives, and thoughts of self-hate for greater inner peace. How getting radically honest with yourself without judgment will open new doors. One of his own biggest breakdowns that allowed him to have the breakthrough he needed. How one of his greatest breakthroughs came from finally surrendering which then allowed him to heal from his illness. The steps you can take to embrace all of the emotions you feel, the breakdowns you experience, and your individual wellness journey. How you can practice surrender and letting go on a daily basis. A deep look into the biology and energetics of the law of attraction. Why both failure and success can equally crumble you if you don't do the emotional inner work. Power Quotes From The Show "So many breakthroughs come during breakdowns because that's when the band-aid is ripped off and we're actually willing to take an honest look at ourselves. That's when change happens." - Tommy Baker "We can grasp all of the answers we need in the moments of silence and where our inspiration lies. Anywhere in which you feel a pull, there are your answers. If you give yourself enough space, all of the answers you need will come up. All of the distraction, noise, and stimulus you face elsewhere is just blocking the answers but if you dig deep, you can get them back." - Tommy Baker "Ultimately, emotions can be used in one of two ways: to create or to destroy. If we don't understand our emotions, we become lost and often take the destructive route through bad habits that destroy our bodies or relationships. Getting to know oneself is a beautiful journey and you have to be okay with these "negative emotions" which aren't even negative emotions. If we have the courage to dig deep enough into the dark, there's always going to be something in there like a moment of clarity or new opportunity that we never noticed saw before." - Tommy Baker "A lot of people talk about unconditional love with others but what about unconditional love with ourselves? Are we willing to face ourselves with these dark emotions and not judge ourselves or feel guilty but just be a witness to them and appreciate ourselves despite our flaws?" - Tommy Baker   Links From Today's Show Tommy Baker Facebook Twitter Instagram Resist Average Academy Facebook Instagram YouTube Resist Average Academy Podcast UnResolution The 1% Rule The Leap of Your Life by Tommy Baker | Pre-Order Now Tommy Baker - Influencive Blogs Self-Resilience | essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson Guided Abundance Meditation | Bob Proctor Dr. John DeMartini | The Law of Attraction Dr. John DeMartini Kaizen Alan Watts Zhuang Zhou Joseph Campbell Gary Vaynerchuk David Deida Dr. Joe Dispenza Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert WFR 055 Gay and Katie Hendricks About Tommy Baker Ever get excited and inspired by a bold vision -- then completely get lost on what to do next?

As women, we can be powerful in a feminine way." - Dr. Brenda Walding  Sick of Being Sick - Dr. Brenda Walding   Listen To Episode 253 As Dr. Brenda Walding Uncovers: Why she chose to not go down the traditional path of chemotherapy and radiation to heal her breast cancer but decided to try natural medicine instead.

They're meant to be fluid so that when we embrace and feel them, they move through us. They don't get stuck unless we don't allow ourselves to feel them." - Dr. Brenda Walding "A lot of my healing process focused on embracing the feminine energy by dropping into my heart and feeling my feelings. Instead of being this charging athlete, I turned towards learning how to flow and dance with music. That started to wake up this creative, feminine energy within me that I had not known before. It felt so good to begin to be aware of my feminine power. There is power in this feminine way of being and it's not a weakness; it's just a different way for women to express themselves. As women, we're not meant to express ourselves and be powerful in a masculine way; we can be powerful in a feminine way."  - Dr. Brenda Walding "I had this sense that I was ill because there was something wrong with me or I wasn't worthy of God's love but the more I read and did the inner work, I realized something. The God that is love does not punish or create disease and that fundamental belief that somehow I deserve to be punished was blocking my healing. So, switching to thinking about how this power that created me, the cosmos, these beautiful sunsets, and this extraordinary world is also within me helped me to become more open to experiencing and receiving this healing." - Dr. Brenda Walding  "If we can begin to open or shift our perception that disease is potentially this divine opportunity and this catalyst for radical growth and transformation, we can really go in and remove all that isn't us and awaken to the truth of who we really are." - Dr. Brenda Walding  "We all have this deep desire to live our best life and feel peace, happiness, purpose, passion, and connection but the only way to experience our optimal life is to feel. Part of the human experience is this symphony of emotions from happiness and joy to sadness and anger. Embracing all of these contrasting emotions is what it means to be human. So, give yourself permission to feel those feelings. Feel each feeling and love what you feel. No matter what it is, love that feeling." - Dr. Brenda Walding   Links From Today's Show Dr. Brenda Walding Facebook Instagram Email at risetoradiance@gmail.com  NativePath Facebook Twitter  Instagram Sick of Being Sick by Dr. Brenda Walding The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Guide by Dr. Chad Walding and Dr. Brenda Walding Well Being Journal Doctor's Guide to Wild Oregano Oil - 101 Uses - Cass Ingram The Cure Is In The Cupboard by Dr. Cass Ingram Marianne Williamson Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol K.

When you do that, you're making an active choice to not show up and be the best version of yourself that you can be." - Harpreet Rai     Listen To Episode 252 As Harpreet Rai Uncovers: How Oura is helping people with their weight loss progress through tracking and teaching them about their sleep status. The guilt he first faced when leaving work to go exercise and how he got over that feeling. The three barriers we face that keep us from focusing on our health: time, money, and guilt. How the Oura ring acts as a mirror of mindfulness to help us keep showing up in life. The alarming amount of Americans that are currently taking medication for sleep How social media, smartphones, and even Netflix are amplifying our stress and anxiety which then leads us to poor sleeping habits. The little amount of sleep he was getting a night at 4 hours while being an investment banker and how that led to gaining a pound each week. The importance of starting our day at the exact same time every morning and being exposed to sunlight throughout the day. How self-monitoring our sleep patterns can be just what we need to help change our behavior and habits. The wellness journey of one Oura ring user and how cutting out the 4 o'clock coffee helped him go back to a normal sleep cycle. The latency feature of the Oura ring that tells you how long it takes you to fall asleep and why you shouldn't be falling asleep right away. How breath is integrated into Oura and the technology aspect with the respiration rate. Why they chose a ring as their product from both a comfort and accuracy standpoint. Why no single wearable is 100% accurate but the most important thing to consider is precision in the day to day data. How they've designed the Oura ring to be very accurate in its precision to help the individual track their sleep and health. Results Oura users have seen reflected in their data when they've made changes to create a better sleeping atmosphere. How the 5 senses change when we're sleeping and how to create your best night's sleep experience. The benefits of relaxing and stretching before bed that we don't normally consider. How Oura can lead the charge in conversations about personal development through the use of mindfulness and wellness technology. Power Quotes From The Show "If you don't measure something, how does it get mastered? But is sleep the be all end all? No; I think there are so many things we need to do to be great humans and sleep is a great place to start." - Harpreet Rai "Addiction to our phones and social media has completely amplified our poor sleeping habits. Our stress and anxiety are leading to poor nutrition and weight gain. We can't sleep well if we're being pulled in different directions by every notification that pops up on our phones." - Harpreet Rai "When people start to see personal data that pertains to themselves, they begin to question those findings. You might ask yourself, 'Why am I not getting any deep sleep?' and then you seek answers from other Oura users, podcasts, or books. Once you just start to see the data becoming personal, you'll start to reflect, change habits, and notice patterns." - Harpreet Rai "If you rewind thirty or forty years ago and before the Internet, we probably used to be able to naturally tell whether or not we got a good's night rest and feel the difference. We used to feel and think about our sleeping patterns a lot more but now we're so distracted and I don't think we have time to feel. Now that we're busier than ever, it's harder for us to take the time to concentrate on what our bodies are telling us and therefore, tracking makes more sense now than it ever did before. Tracking holds you accountable as you start to look at the data and ask yourself simple questions that can lead to lifestyle changes." - Harpreet Rai "If you don't measure something, how does it get mastered? But is sleep the be all end all? No; I think there are so many things we need to do to be great humans and sleep is a great place to start. If you don't sleep properly, it's probably going to be harder to eat better, exercise more, and just be a good human being. Sleep sets you up on the right track to succeed." - Harpreet Rai   Links From Today's Show Harpreet Rai LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Twitter ŌURA Twitter Facebook Instagram YouTube Vimeo WFR 160 Petteri Lahtela - Co-Founder, President, and CIO of Oura The NEW Oura Ring The Philosophy Behind Oura Oura user @sandiegojoey on Instagram Find Your Own Circadian Rhythm Ten Ways to Sleep Better Right Now Heart Rate While Sleeping: Look for These 3 Patterns Nobel Prize for discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm Why Your Brain Feels So Foggy From Sleep Deprivation Sleep deprivation and hippocampal vulnerability A single night of sleep deprivation #53 Harpreet Rai | Human Optimization Hour w/Kyle Kingsbury Strategy of Monitoring: Gretchen Rubin Center For Sleep And Cognition Joe Rogan Experience #1109 - Matthew Walker - YouTube Nick Littlehales' Guide to Understanding Sleep Ethan Weiss | UCSF Profiles Kelly Starrett Dr. Rebecca Robbins Dr. Joseph Mercola Ben Greenfield The Morning 21 WFR 125 Dr. Kirk Parsley WFR 129 Gretchen Rubin WFR 206 Dan Pardi WFR 250 Dave Asprey About Oura Health        Join The Wellness Warrior 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 WFR Community on facebook Tweet us on Twitter: Send us a fun tweet (or a what's up) Comment on the Facebook page Rate & Review Wellness Force

For episode 251, we spotlight 8 of our favorite moments over 2018, to pull the gems of wisdom, moments of laughter, and the real-life action steps that I've learned to both trust and believe in. I want to share my truth: This entrepreneurial and podcast path has not been 100% rainbows. Even since early childhood, I have known, deep down, that I march to the beat of a different drummer. Maybe you feel that too, and that’s why you’re here. I’ve faced inner and outer demons I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and since I began to wake up in 2012, I’ve done some deep work to let go of old stories about genetics, beliefs, and the people and things that don't serve my wellness. But yet as hard as this has been, I’ve also learned that when you operate from a place of love and service to others, and if you really want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. This podcast has been my life since 2015, and today, I get to give thanks to YOU! 2018's Top 8 Wellness Force Dr. Cortney Warren In episode 177, Clinical Psychologist, Researcher, TEDx Talk Speaker, and Author of Lies We Tell Ourselves: The Psychology of Self-Deception, Dr. Cortney Warren, dives into how you can transform your life while experiencing trauma, misery, and self-doubt. Furthermore, Dr. Warren shares the importance of taking a deep look at yourself, being honest, and accepting who you are without judgment. Only when you do that, can you develop the strength to change your life despite hesitation or fear.   Dr. Michael Gervais What does it mean to be human and perform to your optimal level?

As Peter has taught various entrepreneurs of all different backgrounds, the different levels of consciousness and the art of surrender will help you re-contextualize your negative thoughts when outer life doesn't fit your inner world.

In this next clip from episode 219, retired American professional mixed martial artist and now Director of Human Optimization at Onnit, Kyle Kingsbury, reveals that it's okay and necessary to set healthy boundaries when you truly need it in order to let go of those pent-up thoughts and emotions so that they can no longer consume your energy.  As you listen, you'll discover how you can satisfy the need for ‘more' based on what makes you feel good, whole, and happy.   Aubrey Marcus  In episode 196, CEO of Onnit and the author of Own The Day, Own Your Life, Aubrey Marcus, reminds us that we have the power to move on from the past. We were not the same people that we were before and we don’t have to allow our past to define and label us. It is Aubrey’s mission to help each person understand that they have the ability to make their life their own. By giving people the tools to transform their work, relationships, and wellness, he’s helping create a world of optimized individuals who are looking to become the best versions of themselves.   Mary Shores How can you stop your negative thought patterns in order to rewrite your story and live life to its fullest?  From episode 191, author of Conscious Communications, Mary Shores, has a mission to help people clear themselves from their financial debt and feel good about doing it.

(Full Rules Here)  More About The Book The bestselling author of Head Strong and The Bulletproof Diet answers the question, “How can I kick more ass at life?” by culling the wisdom of world-class thought leaders, maverick scientists, and disruptive entrepreneurs to provide proven techniques for becoming happier, healthier, and smarter. When Dave Asprey started his Bulletproof Radio podcast more than five years ago, he sought out influencers in an array of disciplines, from biochemists toiling in unknown laboratories to business leaders changing the world to meditation masters discovering inner peace. His guests were some of the top performing humans in the world, people who had changed their areas of study or even pioneered entirely new fields. Dave wanted to know: What did they have in common? What mattered most to them? What made them so successful—and what made them tick? At the end of each interview, Dave asked the same question: “What are your top three recommendations for people who want to perform better at being human?” After performing a statistical analysis of the answers, he found that the wisdom gleaned from these highly successful people could be distilled into three main objectives: finding ways to become smarter, faster, and happier. Game Changers is the culmination of Dave’s years-long immersion in these conversations, offering 46 science-backed, high performance “laws” that are a virtual playbook for how to get better at life. "Emotional intelligence is hackable and you do have to do the work but maybe you can do the work more effectively. There can be a fast path instead of a slow one." - Dave Asprey   GAME CHANGERS GIFT GIVEAWAYS What works for the game changers in this book, can work for you!

Listen To Episode 250 As Dave Asprey Uncovers: The various health struggles he has faced in his life and how biohacking helped him find the answers he sought. His program, 40 Years of Zen, and the fast-paced meditation benefits you can get from participating in it. Why he wrote, Game Changers, in order to answer the question, 'What are the three most important pieces of advice for someone who wants to perform better at everything they do as a human being?' How he came to discover the 46 Laws for High Performance after interviewing hundreds of people. Why it's impossible to actually be able to complete every single personal development practice in this lifetime and that's okay. His documentary, Moldy Movie, about how there are over 100 million homes in the US with toxic mold which are leading to disease. How early trauma including what happens while we're in the womb can affect our personality and fear response as an adult. The power of gratitude and how it can help us rewire the brain, stop the negative voice in our head and let go of shame. His own gratitude practice and how he lets go of the negative voice in his head. How EMDR is an effective tool for therapy and resetting old patterns. The common thread and patterns of emotional intelligence and intuition that Dave discovered in these high performers during the interviews he conducted for Game Changers. Why he titled the law, Eat Like Your Grandma, rather than title it with the common Paleo phrase, Eat Like A Caveman. His definition of consciousness and how it relates to his work with Bulletproof. The role that the ego played for him at Bulletproof's beginnings compared to now years later. How you can step outside of yourself and look back with a different mindset to see what's actually going on. The orgasm hangover for men and how ejaculation sucks their energy so that they're much less likely to be loving, kind, and patient the day after compared to women who feel a higher sense of connection. The 4 Laws of Sex in Game Changers explained and how intimacy can lead to an altered state of mind. The laws and rules, "Money Doesn't Make You Happy" and "The Power of 'No." How he uses the power of 'no' to help him stay balanced and make decisions. His own most important three pieces of advice for someone who wants to perform better at everything they do as a human being.   Power Quotes From The Show "There's so much that we can do on this planet and I don't want to waste time getting to the next challenge. We're here to evolve as human beings." - Dave Asprey "Your body is a very powerful pattern matching system and it'll match patterns of threats long before you can think about them. You might feel at unease about something that triggers you and you don't even know why. Then you end up making a story about why you feel that way and the story probably isn't even true. Even worse, we beat ourselves up afterward for reacting to this made up story. The first thing to do to permanently let go of a trauma so that the pattern matching no longer matches the pattern is actually gratitude." - Dave Asprey "Consciousness is your ability to be aware of what's actually happening in the world around you instead of your story of what's going on. If you want to be conscious and you want to be free, you have to understand that the ego is part of this ancient bacteria operating system that keeps you alive. The ego isn't going to go away but if you let it drive instead of you, bad things will happen. At Bulletproof, we want to engage people's ego to then dissolve the ego." - Dave Asprey  "Having a sense of purpose, a mission, and knowing why you're here is a big challenge because if you don't know why you're here, it can be painful. When you're doing things that society, your parents, or trauma tells you that you're supposed to be doing but they're not fulfilling you, that's a pretty good sign that you don't know why you're here. I wish I could tell people really quickly how to know why you're here but it's going to take some work and really deep self-reflection such as journaling or meditation. When your purpose in life comes to you, it'll be really obvious and everything works. When you do other things that don't give you meaning, life sucks.  So, find that mission and know why you're here." - Dave Asprey  "Understand that so much of your decision making is an emergent phenomenon from ancient bacteria who think they're in charge. This probably comes from what's in your gut and the way it talks to the bacteria that run your power systems and your environmental sensing systems. If you understand that you are not the voice in your head, you just share a hardware with it, it's not you and it doesn't even share your best interest at heart, that can unlock so much consciousness, emotional intelligence, and even just the ability to show up, not in a big way, but just to dinner." - Dave Asprey    Links From Today's Show Dave Asprey Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Bulletproof Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Game Changers by Dave Asprey  Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey Biohacker Meets Spirit Hacker: Shaman Durek #517 Bulletproof Upgrade Labs Bulletproof Cafés Head Strong by Dave Asprey The Bulletproof Diet by Dave Asprey Bulletproof Homebiotic 4 oz Concentrate Moldy The Movie – The New Bulletproof Documentary Bessel Van Der Kolk M.D. 40 Years of Zen How to Rewire Your Traumatized Brain Bruce Lipton | Epigenetics Gabby Bernstein Eric Kandel Jack Canfield Stan Grof Esther Perel John Gray Chapter 11 of Think Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill - Sex Transmutation WFR 046 Dr. John Gray About Dave Asprey Dave Asprey, the founder of Bulletproof and author of New York Times bestseller The Bulletproof Diet, is a Silicon Valley investor and technology entrepreneur who spent two decades and over $1 Million to hack his own biology.

Through the breath, we can control our state of energy to change emotion.

Yoga understands that we are all divine beings and we are also a product of our imprinting. Yoga is designed to allow you to break free of those chains of your human conditioning."- Niraj Naik "Everything is divine and we choose to either tune into it or not. That choice comes from your level vibrational energy of L-O-V-E. The more love you have for yourself and others, the more connected you'll be to this divine energy." - Niraj Naik "Heavy emotions such as fear, anger, rage, rage, and guilt are what really binds us to the earth in a way that we end up in survival mode. Specifically, guilt is a really, really terrifying emotion to experience for a long period of time and it can just paralyze you. If we can change that emotional state without using drugs, antidepressants, or even having to resort to psychedelics and do it naturally through our own body instead, then we're getting somewhere. That's what I focused on through pranayama, yoga, and Ayurveda." - Niraj Naik "What is the best thing that the yogis have done for us? They taught us how to have an off switch for stress which is the breath and the exhale. By learning how to exhale properly, hold your breath, and control your breath, in certain ways, we actually learn how to control the entire physiology of our mind." - Niraj Naik "The exhaled breath is our off switch for stress. By learning how to control, hold,  and properly exhale our breath, we can actually discover how to manage the entire physiology of our mind." - Niraj Naik   Links From Today's Show Niraj Naik Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn SOMA Breath Facebook Community Instagram The Renegade Pharmacist Facebook YouTube The 21-Day Awakening Breath Protocol Program Scientific Explanation Of Soma Breath What Happens One Hour After Drinking a Can of Coke Niraj Naik – Healing with The Power of Breath 24 Questions with Niraj Naik Renegade Health Test: How healthy are you really?

Hawkins WFR 209 Jamie Wheal WFR 226 Paul Chek About Niraj Naik Niraj Naik is a qualified pharmacist who comes from a background of working long hours for several years as a community pharmacist.  Becoming a certified “legal drug dealer” at the ripe age of 24, he got to witness first-hand, many clients going home with shopping bags full of drugs each month, rarely getting better and usually going on to suffer from other diseases. He also learnt of the debilitating side effects of the prescription medication which drove many of the patients to have to take more and more drugs to ease the side effects. Curious to find ways to improve his own health he attended several health seminars and discovered an in-depth approach on how to reach optimum health and vitality by understanding the true origin of disease and how to prevent it. After experiencing great benefits with his own health, Niraj was motivated to devise a scheme to see if he could also help his suffering patients. He incorporates a lifestyle plan called his "healthy shopping lists' that includes simple food swaps, tools, and websites to support their specific condition. Niraj is now a professional musician, holistic health expert, and entrepreneur. He runs several successful websites that help others who suffer from stress-related, chronic diseases through his self-composed, captivating meditation music, and online courses. Niraj has composed music for healing centres, spas, and therapists worldwide.    Join The Wellness Warrior 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 WFR Community on facebook Tweet us on Twitter: Send us a fun tweet (or a what's up) Comment on the Facebook page Rate & Review Wellness Force

What are you going to do in the fulfillment of your life to honor your family, traits, and what's possible by being one individual who rocks it?" - Lauren Handel Zander "You're stuck with yourself for the rest of your life. That inner dialogue of yours is your relationship to yourself. Do you like yourself when you look in the mirror? What are you saying to yourself? What do you think of other people? Where you are with yourself is basically the most important relationship you're having that then extends to all the other areas in your life." - Lauren Handel Zander "We naturally operate out of fear and we're afraid of people leaving us if we say or do the wrong thing. So, we lie to protect other people but really we're not checking in with ourselves about why our relationships with other people are the way that they are. Fear is the protection mechanism that's ruling us; not love." - Lauren Handel Zander "Most people, in their heart of hearts, know who they are but then they're corrupted by the family history that has been carried on through them. By stripping away all of the views and issues that have been passed onto you, you can have your own dream of what you want to fulfill on this planet." - Lauren Handel Zander   Links From Today's Show Lauren Handel Zander Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Handel Group Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Maybe It's You by Lauren Handel Zander InnerU.Coach The Handel Group Current Reality Quiz Complimentary 30-minute consultation with Handel Group A Little Magic Goes a Long Way Want a Radical Miracle in Your Life?

This pain point – the quitting itself – is often the barrier to change. Many avoid quitting because they fear the unknown. Will they find another career or relationship? Will their new path provide financial stability? Will friends and family question the decision to quit?  Will society see them as quitters? These questions generally go unaddressed. But that’s where Quitting by Design comes in – its sole focus is to help people through their quits successfully so they can proceed with their transformations. It’s a step-by-step guide that takes readers from deciding if there’s something they should quit all the way to preparing their health, finances, and relationships for a quiet, and it helps them conquer any fears that may pop up along the way. Dr. Lynn Marie Morski knows how to address fears and prepare your health, relationships, and finances for a quit because she's been there time and again. She has quit educational pursuits, jobs, careers, relationships, political parties...you name it; she's found a way to quit it while maximizing the benefits and minimizing the challenges associated with major life changes. And she wants nothing more than to pass these skills along to you.   With this book, Dr. Morski aims to pass on what she's learned about quitting not only from her own experiences but also through interviews with others who have made successful quits themselves. She tackles the stigma surrounding quitting while highlighting what a useful and necessary tool it can be in carving out a life you enjoy.   Listen To Episode 247 As Dr. Lynn Marie Morski Uncovers: Her journey as a "lifelong quitter" from going to a physician to an attorney to a law professor. The connection between mental and physical health when it comes to feeling shame. Steps we can take to just stop being so serious all the time. Why our fear of the unknown makes it so hard to quit when it comes to moving on with our health, wealth, and relationships.

How to get out of the mindset that "quitters" never win and you have to fake it to make it. Why sharing your quits with other people can help other people with their own strategic quits. The stigmas around quitting and why society has leaned towards this narrative of shaming people for making drastic life changes.

Her 3 physical practices that can help you get clear about whether or else you need a strategic quit. Power Quotes From The Show "'QUIT until the life you want is yours." - Dr. Lynn Marie Morski "If you're quitting something that may seem like a dream job to others or feel this societal pressure to not quit, you have to stop and realize that the people who are going to judge you aren't you. They're not in your shoes, they're not in your head, and they're not living your life. You're the one who has to live your life; why should you let what somebody else's thoughts of you shape your existence?" - Lynn Marie Morski "Does your boss want an employee who's constantly looking for a way out? No. Do other people a favor by quitting. Quitting is actually a generous act at some point because they should want somebody in that position who wants to be in that position. If you're forcing yourself to be in this job, you're actually doing them a disservice and there's an opportunity cost for both you and them." - Lynn Marie Morski "As a society, we're avoiding putting ourselves out there. We need to quit this facade, quit the mask, and quit this external game. Social media has made it so much worse and is doing the opposite of what it should be doing." - Lynn Marie Morski   Links From Today's Show Dr. Lynn Marie Morski Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Quitting by Design by Dr. Lynn Marie Morski Quit Happens Podcast So Full of Quit!
