JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THIS PODCAST   In Wellness Force Radio episode 259, Creator of The Functional Forum, CEO & Founder of The Evolution of Medicine, and Author of The Evolution of Medicine, and Founder of KNEW Health, James Maskell, discusses how the healthcare system is set up to keep people hooked on long-term medications and actually lead them to worse health, why functional medicine's focus is turning towards whole health treatments, and why reversing chronic disease should be our number one priority right now in the world of healthcare. Discover how functional medicine, community micro practice, and direct primary care will change the future of healthcare as we know it. KNEW Health Finally, the alternative to expensive health insurance you've been waiting for. Click here to learn more about KNEW Health today. KNEW Health is not an insurance company. We are a community of healthy, happy, wellness-minded individuals like yourself, who work together to stay well and contribute to a community fund to support one another’s large medical bills. Think of this as a safety net for large, unexpected medical costs. Because you take care of your health, you’re likely to need less medical expense support — so why should you pay insane insurance premiums when you can have your large expenses supported by our Medical Cost-Sharing Community that is over 10,000 members strong? With conventional health insurance, you–the healthy person who exercises, doesn’t smoke, and eats fresh fruits and vegetables–are subsidizing the medical expenses of people who smoke, don’t exercise, and eat junk food all day. How unfair is that? Furthermore, with health insurance, it’s likely you’re paying these high premiums and yet not using many of your benefits. That’s money down the drain each and every month. At KNEW Health, you’ll be paying so much less each month–which gives you more money to invest in wellness and preventative care, such as fitness classes, acupuncture, massage, healthy fresh food, and herbs and supplements. Wouldn’t you rather invest your monthly health expenses into life-giving wellness care, rather than sending that money to faceless health insurance bureaucracies, never to be seen again? By making a commitment to living a healthy lifestyle, you’re helping transform health care.   "Many of us don't need these expensive medical visits, lab tests, and pharmaceuticals. Most chronic disease is driven by lifestyle and can be fixed by lifestyle." - James Maskell Listen To Episode 259 As James Maskell Uncovers: KNEW Health - What it is, how it can help you, and how it's changing the narrative around healthy lifestyles and self-awareness. Why he did the KNEW Health Tour - a 4-month family trip to launch evolution of alternative health. Why functional medicine goes much further into our health's journey than just a couple of lab tests. How functional medicine can help prevent the body from degrading, slowing down, and experiencing chronic disease. The Community Micro Practice - how it's benefiting the world of functional medicine and changing the lives of both healthcare practitioners and their patients. The vital importance of looking at our emotions and past traumas so that they do not manifest into a disease. Steps people can take to begin looking for a functional medicine practitioner that's right for them. What Direct Primary Care is and how it can improve a doctor's relationship with patients and the ability to afford healthcare. His 3-part strategy for the true transformation of healthcare explained. The high amount of insurance he was facing while living and working in New York City and what answers he found when he sought out different opportunities. His mission to begin his own program to help people save money on insurance and encourage others to reach out to functional medical doctors when they really need it. The experiences that transformed his life and drove him to keep going in his mission and see this functional medicine movement through. How the company, Heal, is changing healthcare by having practitioners go straight to the patients' homes. The flood of new applications and tools that are available right now such as GoodRx and MDSave which can help you cut down on the price of healthcare. His explanation for why it's unlikely that functional medicine will be delivered through health insurance anytime soon. Why it's easier to change your behavior and reduce chronic disease while in a group environment compared to working one-on-one with a singular healthcare provider. How healing with psychedelics and marijuana can play a part in functional medicine. The first step you can take towards shifting your health by finding a community environment that can help you. "More medicine doesn't actually equal better health outcomes. In fact, the more you use the medical system, the worse your off your health outcomes are going to be in the long run." - James Maskell "Functional medicine is a new operating system of delivering health that is focused on three main principles: root cause resolution, holistic viewpoint, and participatory system. What really differentiates functional medicine from integrative, naturopathic, or holistic medicine is that it's a reproducible system and structure which helps everyone follow the same steps. In that sense, it prioritizes what you should be doing in a specific order and that makes it much more efficient than other methods." - James Maskell "The most effective way that functional medicine is being delivered is through a group format such as that at The Cleveland Clinic. There's really something powerful about the vulnerability of being in front of a group and the community that's created by being amongst supportive peers." - James Maskell "What will it take to facilitate a consciousness transformation in how we view healthcare? There is a very clear engine of transformation consciousness that happens when people go to a functional medicine doctor. When you go to an empathetic provider like that, they will empower you to take action to form a new story about your life." - James Maskell "If you can get people to change behavior in a group environment, a lot of the chronic disease will go away. Many of us don't need these expensive medical visits, lab tests, and pharmaceuticals. Most chronic disease is driven by lifestyle and can be fixed by lifestyle, we just need structures that are efficient enough to deliver it."  - James Maskell Links From Today's Show James Maskell Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn KNEW Health Facebook Instagram YouTube The Functional Forum The Evolution of Medicine The Evolution of Medicine by James Maskell Rythmia GoodRx app  MDSave app Heal.com ICEERS - International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies - MAPS Dr. Mark Hyman Valerian/lemon balm use for sleep disorders during menopause. (Organifi GOLD) The Cleveland Clinic Jason Silva Dr. Kelly Brogan Dr. Jeffrey Gladd Michael Pollan WFR 096 Daniel Schmachtenberger WFR 140 Chris Kresser WFR 249 Niraj Naik About James Maskell With the soul of an advocate and the mind of an entrepreneur, James Maskell has spent the past decade sparking debate and encouraging a shift away from conventional western medicine and toward a wellness-centered, functional medicine model--starting with the doctors themselves.

Learn how he's helping design a new blueprint for psychiatric healing to help decrease addiction, depression, trauma, and PTSD.  "Coming to truth is not a comfortable path. We don't do this work because it's easy; we do this because it's the path towards our liberation, fulfillment, expression, and authentic beauty being readily available." - @drdanengle on @WellnessForce Radio 241 wellnessforce.com/241   Click here to get your copy of The Concussion Repair Manual by Dr. Dan Engle Concussion -- the biggest name in today's high-impact sports. As more and more high-profile athletes come forward to share their stories of invisible suffering after head injuries, we as a culture are finally acknowledging this silent epidemic. The Concussion Repair Manual is written as a user’s guide for those suffering after head traumas and those that support them. It is one-part “textbook,” packed with the leading research on medical technologies for healing the injured brain, and one-part “workbook,” offering a step-by-step method for making and tracking a personalized recovery regimen. Dr. Dan Engle's background and passion for concussion repair stem from a three-decade investigation into the many modalities for healing his own traumas. When the usual medical treatments didn’t help, he explored what was possible, found what worked and put them into this manual - "the best of the best" in the medical arena for recovering from sports-related head injury.   Listen To Episode 241 As Dr. Dan Engle Uncovers: His connection with human optimization and wellness leaders such as Paul Chek, Kyle Kingsbury, and Aubrey Marcus. The current anxiety and depression we're currently going through as a society; especially for adolescents, geriatrics, and veterans. Why social media and feeling urgent all the time is leading us to feel more lonely, anxious, and depressed than ever before. What emotions we feel when we're being inauthentic and lying on social media. Why time urgency is the number one cause of stress. What revelation he had while healing from his injuries that he didn't want to live by other people's expectations and didn't want to be working in a hospital for the rest of his career. His experience from the plant medicine, Ayahuasca, and what he learned about himself from it. Why our society resorts to prescribing medication rather than looking at the core issue of a person's health problem. Why psychedelics aren't for everyone and they should be respected rather than misused. Benefits of psychedelics for those who are suitable candidates to use them to heal. Proper and regulated screening, preparation, and integration that patients would receive during treatment with psychedelics such as Psilocybin. Differences between levels 1, 2 and 3 plant medicine experiences and which ones are the most recommended for therapeutic use. Why he believes plant medicine and psychedelics are part of a sacred path for people who are candidates to participate. Why he contemplated suicide after diving so deep into plant medicine and thinking about all that was expected of him by other people. How he was in this deep Bardo phase of being in between lives and worlds have his experience with Ayahuasca. What The Satori Method is and how it helps with multi-level healing. Sensory deprivation, Vipassana, and meditation - how they can be integrated into plant medicine preparation. Why being able to practice sensory deprivation and meditation in a float tank is so beneficial and vital to being able to experience plant medicine. Why mindfulness meditation can be harmful to those with active PTSD and trauma but external guidance is better. Power Quotes From The Show "We're more digitally connected than we've ever been but we're less socially connected than we've ever been. We, as social beings who bonded for connection, are fighting a loneliness epidemic." - @drdanengle on @WellnessForce Radio episode 241 wellnessforce.com/241 "If we can't talk it through at therapy, then we rely on pharmaceuticals to manage the symptoms. Our health care is a system that's built for acute care management but it's horrible at chronic care support and core issue resolution. Psychedelic medicines are good for the core issues where psychiatry is weak. Many of the psychedelics are good for one if not all of the five core primary archetypes of psychiatric symptoms: depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction and pain." - Dr. Dan Engle "When we become clear with who we are and bring our shadow into the light, we will get to know it. This process helps us integrate our work with the healing. Plant medicines don't fix us and they're not designed to do that. This is our work to do. The medicines help us get clear with our truth and the direction of being able to actually actualize that truth via the next steps and orientation but they don't do the work for us." - Dr. Dan Engle "If we can solidify the foundation to be able to self-regulate better then when we do come up in close with our core issues and shadow material, we're more willing, ready, and able to process it, learn from it, heal it, integrate it, and become more whole." - Dr. Dan Engle   Links From Today's Show Dr. Dan Engle Facebook Instagram Twitter The Revive Treatment Centers of America Facebook Instagram Full Spectrum Medicine The Satori Method Onnit The Concussion Repair Manual California Vision 2020 Huachuma: The Forgotten Psychedelic (Full Documentary) Ayahuasca - Drink The Jungle Documentary Are Psychedelic Drugs the Next Medical Breakthrough?

Masculinity and femininity are inherently beautiful, yet the media has distorted these words with the phrase “toxic.” Together, now we get to decide as a culture how to move forward with a new narrative. Society is changing, and we’re not going backward. - Boysen Hodgson What factors of our culture and society are no longer serving the feminine and masculine? How can we come and work together to create something new that fits what we want?   ---> 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. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THIS PODCAST   In Wellness Force Radio episode 258, Marketing & Communications Director for The ManKind Project USA and author of The New Macho, Boysen Hodgson, explains what has created "toxic" masculinity and feminity, how men and women can process and connect through safe spaces, and the #IAmResponsible Campaign that MKP has launched in response to #MeToo. Learn how men can support each other to heal from their past traumas, come to their whole masculine and feminine selves, and realign with women. The ManKind Project Presents: The New Warrior Training Adventure Click here to sign up for The New Warrior Training Adventure The New Warrior Training Adventure: A life-changing 48-hour experience brought to you by the ManKind Project, an international nonprofit organization. The New Warrior Training Adventure is a challenging real-time hero's journey. It's safe, supportive and cutting edge. It is not a retreat, a conference or a workshop. It is unlike anything you've done before. Many men say that this experience is a turning point in their lives, an event that marks the beginning of a new way of being in the world. It is a singular type of life-affirming event, honoring the best in what men have to offer the planet. We are only able to recognize the powerful brilliance of men because we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating ... and suffering. This is the paradox of modern masculinity, and it is a lesson we are dedicated to learning and teaching. The New Warrior Training Adventure is a modern male initiation and self-examination. We believe that this is crucial to the development of a healthy and mature male self, no matter how old a man is. It is the "hero's journey" of classical literature and myth that has nearly disappeared in modern culture. We ask men to stop living vicariously through movies, television, addictions, and distractions and step up into their own adventure - in real time and surrounded by other men. What we practice at The New Warrior Training Adventure and why: Emotional Authenticity - Because we believe in honesty and wholeness ... we practice emotional intelligence and self-awareness. Personal Responsibility - Because we value integrity and accountability ... we take 100% responsibility for our feelings, and we own the impacts - both positive and negative - of our choices and actions. Leadership Mastery - Because we believe that role models change lives ... we practice highly principled personal, interpersonal, and group leadership. Empowered Mission - Because we value generosity, service, and connection to spirit ... we explore and live from our deepest purpose. Supportive Community - Because we care for ourselves and the generations to come ... we create a place for men from all walks of life to learn and teach in a safe, respectful, challenging, and inclusive peer-network.       "We need emotional expression, vulnerability, and softness in men. We need men as nurturers. What is a farmer if not a nurturer? We need that in our world today." - Boysen Hodgson Listen To Episode 258 As Boysen Hodgson Uncovers: The ManKind's mission as a non-profit and the work they do which includes men's groups all over the US, over 150 global training programs, and The New Warrior Training Adventure. Some of his top influences including David Deida and authors of King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine, Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette. Why more than ever we need to teach men that they can express their emotions, be vulnerable, and more nurturing. The narrative and division we see in the media focusing on "toxic" femininity and masculinity. Where the phrase, "toxic" masculinity comes from as a counterpoint to "deep" masculinity. "Toxic" masculinity compared to "toxic" femininity in a world of disconnection and the wave of the feminist movement. How today's modern world is affecting men in the workplace, at home, and higher rates of depression and suicide. Epigenetics and long legacies of trauma that has been inflicted on portions of our society. The powerful practices of moving, zen, and sitting meditation. How they use various archetypes to embody different energies during their Men's Work at MKP. Why the archetype, Sovereignty, is so important for both the masculine and the feminine. The power of purpose and how it and the sovereign energy directly impact your life. Where he was at in his purpose, thoughts, and relationships during his 20s vs. now as a husband, father, and part of MKP's mission. Lessons he learned from observing his father's relationships, his own unhealthy relationship, and processing all of that before he could let go and become his own purpose. How men and women can process and connect together and alone through safe spaces. How men can support each other to heal from their past traumas, come to their whole masculine and feminine selves, and realign with women who've also done the work. How "pink collar jobs" such as teaching have created a divide between men and women as far as what careers are acceptable for each gender. How doing men's work has helped him tap into his himself and his inner Golden Child to help the relationship he has with his children grow. Power Quotes From The Show "As a society, we have to slow down, be present, and get quiet. It's only in that quiet that I can hear my soul or that I can create the possibility to hear yours." - Boysen Hodgson "We have launched a campaign, #IAmResponsible, in response to #MeToo. It's not about, 'Hey, Brother - I'm responsible for your actions' but 'I'm 100% responsible for my actions, for creating the type of culture that I want to live in, and for what masculinity looks like today." - Boysen Hodgson  "At men's group, 'breathe' is probably the first and most powerful incantation that I can do with a man doing a piece of emotional process work. Where are you breathing, how are you breathing into your body, where do I see you inhabiting breath into your body? When you stop breathing, that tells me something about what you're going through." - Boysen Hodgson "Both men and women whether individually or in groups, let's trust each other enough to let us do that work. Society has changed and we're not going backward. What the world needs from us as men is different than what the world needed from us then. Let's move toward the evolution of creating beautiful hearts that want to be connected, loved, shared, and protected." - Boysen Hodgson  "The environment has to be painful enough to motivate a man enough to take action. Men will have a sense in their gut that it's time to do something. So, what we can all do as men is to create and hold a space for when you see a man in your life who you know is experiencing that." - Boysen Hodgson "Men will show up. Men are hungry to be healthy influences and role models. We can fix our community by showing up as men. Through #IAmResponsible, we're stating that we are 100% responsible for our actions, for creating the type of culture that we want to live in, and for what masculinity looks like today."  - Boysen Hodgson   Links From Today's Show Boysen Hodgson Facebook Twitter LinkedIn The ManKindProject Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube The New Warrior Training Adventure The New Macho by Boysen Hodgson #IAmResponsible Campaign David Deida King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette Dr. Robert Augustus Masters Iron John by Robert Bly The Art of Charm Podcast Dr. Shepherd Bliss The End of Men by Hanna Rosin We Believe: The Best Men Can Be | Gillette (Short Film) Integral Meditation by Ken Wilbur Planet on Purpose by Brandon Peele Amber Ward of Life UnLtd The M21 Guide from Wellness Force WFR 149 Johnny Blackburn   About Boysen Hodgson Boysen Hodgson is the author of ‘The New Macho,’ a credo for the mature masculine.

Your head can be your friend or foe when it comes to getting stronger, fitter, and sexier. That's because your mind is your most powerful muscle.

What patterns of difficulty she noticed in high achievers, executives, and celebrities like Britney Spears while helping them build healthier lifestyles.

How her fitness habits evolved into new strategies once she became a mom which she shares in her latest book and program, Badass Body Goals. Her 4-3-2-1 HIIT fitness program to help people, especially busy moms, get fit and get great results. Why HIIT training is the most effective way to burn the most amount of calories in the least amount of time yet you shouldn't do it every day.

Why exercise isn't enough unless you also focus on a healthier diet, mental health, hydration, stretching, mobility, and more. What drives her to keep creating content when life is challenging. The importance of always growing both emotionally and spiritually in your own unique wellness journey. How to lead by example and why that's the best motivation for anybody. The 6-morning habits that are destroying our productivity. Why hitting the snooze button is making you less productive, gives you less energy, and makes you procrastinate for the rest of the day.

Strategic practices she helps her executive clients work on to keep them healthy during their busy, long working hours. How you can know when it's time to let go of your personal trainer. What she does to balance her career and family life in order to help alleviate overwhelm. How she helped create a strategy to help her stay on track and avoid pitfalls in her healthy lifestyle through discipline and goals. The vital importance of relieving stress and how you can do that through balance and finding what makes you happy in multiple areas. Power Quotes From The Show "Being mentally fit makes you physically fit. Being present, conscious, having set intentions and goals is the most important part. Losing weight and staying fit is a by-product of all of that." - Jennifer Cohen "All of your focus on fitness is for naught if your diet is not there. 80% of your results come from what you eat and the other 20% is tweaking and toning your workouts. You can't do one without the other."  - Jennifer Cohen "As we get older and have more stressors in life, it's important that we do a lot for our wellness and mind through a holistic approach that's not just nutrition and exercise. What are you doing for your wellbeing? What are you doing for your reflection? Are you drinking enough water? What are you doing for your mobility; are you stretching? There are a lot of different things in the wellness umbrella that are important."  - Jennifer Cohen "Having a goal of getting stronger versus getting skinnier is a more positive message than just losing weight and it's a healthier place to be mentally. Exercise helps to build confidence and mental strength. The stronger you get physically, the more confidence you will have and the stronger you will feel mentally."  - Jennifer Cohen "Motivation comes and goes. You can go to a Tony Robbins seminar and be super motivated and then within the next day, that feeling starts to wane. Same with willpower; it ebbs and flows. You shouldn't be relying on motivation and willpower; you have to build healthy habits and routines to keep you on a path for long-term success. Once you're on autopilot with that healthy behavior and you don't even have to think about exercise or nutrition,  you can use your brain for other things that need your attention." - Jennifer Cohen Links From Today's Show   Jennifer Cohen Facebook Twitter Instagram Badass Body Goals Strong Is The New Skinny No Gym Required Habits & Hustle Podcast 6 Morning Habits That Are Destroying Your Productivity No-Gym Workout With Jennifer Cohen Surrounding Yourself With The Right People Changes Everything Four Ways Your Inner Circle Is Crucial To Your Success 10 Things Healthy People Have in Common How to Set Fitness Goals You'll Actually Achieve This No-Gym, HIIT Workout Gets the Job Done in 10 Minutes A Winter Workout to Improve Your Focus About Jennifer Cohen Jennifer Cohen is a leading fitness and wellness authority, best-selling author, entrepreneur and frequent guest on national media.  She was recently named in “ Greatist” 100 most influential people in Health and Fitness and #16 Most Impactful Fitness Entrepreneurs on Web MD.

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. Dr. Kirk's superman complex that he had during his past marriage and how he overcame it. 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 impact that traveling has had on Ted; especially being around the local people in both Thailand and Vietnam and what he has learned from their culture. How experiencing struggles or adversity in a group can really energetically bind us together. The rugged, individualism that's part of the American culture compared to the lifestyles, mindsets, and beliefs of other countries.  What it was like for Ted to live in Miami and why he personally felt so stuck and out of alignment living and working in that city as a personal trainer.

Why it's so important to understand the medical and science side to take plant medicine for your own safety. The trauma and abuse he experienced as a child that has impacted his entire life.

What thoughts and emotions came up for him during the plant medicine ceremonies. How you can grow on your own terms by taking what resonates with you and leave the rest behind. 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?

How to set up your morning practice to connect with yourself and the world around you for better wellness. Power Quotes From The Show "Emotions are energy in motion. 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.

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.

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.
