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?

There's no exact amount of hard work that will guarantee success. We often get caught up on what success really is but if we can change that focus to 'hard work done consistently equals progress' then we're sure to be better than yesterday. - Matt Vincent How can you become stronger by exploring your own inner hate, self-loathing, and darkness? ---> Join the Wellness Warrior VIP Club: get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.** ---> Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well.

Find out what good can come from diving into yourself to uncover and heal from your own demons. "Bring the fight; don't sit & wait for it to come to you. Be on the offense of strategy because today's an opportunity. We're not just surviving; we're going to thrive." - Matt Vincent @matSOawesome of HVIII Brand Goods on @WellnessForce Radio episode 240 wellnessforce.com/240   Click here to learn more about and buy from HVIII Brand Goods HVIII (sound it out: H+Roman Numeral 'VIII') is a strong term that many will find negative. Good. So do I. I refuse to not get better. It is not an option. I will make the sacrifices necessary to be the best. This attack on the self is necessary because if I don’t train every day with the intention of destroying the old me, then I’m missing something. This is the fire I feel, that I want you to feel. This is the fire, the hate, the motivation for improvement. HVIII Brand Goods is a lifestyle brand that is based on a very simple philosophy: Turn negativity into positive results. Everyone has doubts, everyone worries about just how much they can accomplish. Don't hide from those thoughts; let them drive you. Find adventure, chase strength, build something. Whatever you choose to do, put your whole self into it and enjoy yourself in the process. The process is everything. At HVIII Brand Goods, we make apparel and accessories with an emphasis on style and quality. Every item we create starts with a basic idea: Is this something we would want for ourselves? If the answer is 'yes' then we obsess over getting it just right so we can share it with you. Carrying the HVIII Brand Goods message on your body is a statement of support, and we take that seriously. Loyalty above all. You deserve our best, and we attack every day with the purpose of giving it to you.   Listen To Episode 240 As Matt Vincent Uncovers: How he created the philosophy of HVIII Brand Goods: "The spirit of self-improvement through self-loathing." This renewal of reconnecting with others and really looking for a tribe through groups like CrossFit. The power of going outside of your own suffering and still be there for your team so you can win together. His morning routine being relaxed vs. getting fired up with exercise, movement, cold tub, and coffee. What he learned from the process he went through when his dad passed away from pancreatic cancer. What the term 'hate' means to him and why he finds it so motivating. How he stays authentic in his social media platforms, videos, and the HVIII brand. His past experience working in sales and what he took away from it. Levels of consciousness: How much he has grown since he worked in sales to beginning HVIII. What he's learned about himself, success, and hard work by completing tasks by himself compared to with his team. Why pain and trauma are not a competition and we're all dealing with our own issues at our own full capacity. How he balances all aspects of his health, business, and relationships. What he does when finds he's out of balance with work and personal relationships. The inner work he did before he met his wife and how they've both grown since then. How he defines himself and stays authentic to who he is. What the Highland Games is and what he loves the most about throwing and being an athlete. His experience with injuries and what he went through mentally during some of the toughest moments of his throwing career. Where he's planning for his company, HVIII Brand Goods, to go in the future. The power of saying 'no' to what you don't want to do and focusing on getting to do what you love. The most he's learned from his wife when it comes to strength training and mindset. Power Quotes From The Show "I'm not obligated to train; I get to train. You can't outsource progress. If you want to become stronger, more fit, and healthy, all of that takes time and you get to put the time into it."- Matt Vincent @matSOawesome on @WellnessForce Radio episode 240 wellnessforce.com/240 "No one owes you success; the universe doesn't care. If this is what you want, you do it but you do it for yourself and nobody else. Quit focusing on the mindset of, 'If I just get there, all of this will be okay,' because there is no 'there;' it's all just a journey and a process. So, learn to live in that because that's where we are now." - Matt Vincent "'At some point, we have to realize that pain and trauma are not a competition.' Everyone is dealing at 100% all the time for them. People are just doing the best they can with the tools they're given." - Matt Vincent quoting David Choe. "Knowing yourself is so important. You have to dive into the dark parts of yourself. Pretending they don't exist doesn't make them not exist. If you've got darkness, that's okay. You don't get to experience the good without the bad." - Matt Vincent "I don't want me to care more about your success than you do. That can't work; you have to care and be the one to instill it in you that this is the standard, this is the line that we hold, and this is non-negotiable. You have to hate yourself enough to do the work. Good enough isn't good enough today. Perform when it counts and like anything else, that's a knife that can be sharpened." - Matt Vincent " 'Comparison is the thief of joy.' Own your work and do it for you. If you're doing it for someone else, that's not sustainable either." - Matt Vincent Links From Today's Show Matt Vincent Instagram Twitter YouTube HVIII Brand Goods Facebook Twitter Instagram UMSO Podcast Training Lab by Matt Vincent Spartan Race World Championships Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook - Gary Vaynerchuk Jordan Peterson Alan Watts Carl Jung Brené Brown Joe Rogan Tony Robbins Dana Linn Bailey Kelly Starrett Mark Bell WFR 086 Mark Divine WFR 196 Aubrey Marcus About Matt Vincent Matt Vincent is a traveling strength athlete, two-time Highland Games World Champion, and founder of HVIII Brand Goods. Through his travels, Matt was lucky enough to spend time with exceptional people who were chasing strength, fulfillment, and personal growth in every imaginable way.

What's the deeper truth about sports-specific uses of Cannabidiol and how can this natural plant can help to potentially fight against the rising opioid addiction epidemic in our nation? Does Cannabidiol really have the potential of preventing inflammation and helping athletes managing pain? Our guest today is Jay Hartenbach the CEO of MedTerra, a CBD health and wellness company started by a group of individuals passionate about CBD products to help heal and provide relief through the incredible power of plants, specifically hemp. Jay has spent the last five plus years distributing CBD across the world where he has built a network of industrial hemp farms. Learn more about MedTerra.  Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid constituent of cannabis. It was discovered in 1940 and initially thought not to be pharmaceutically active. It is one of at least 113 cannabinoids identified in hemp plants, accounting for up to 40% of the plant's extract. As of 2018 in the United States, Food and Drug Administration approval of cannabidiol as a prescription drug called Epidiolex for medical uses has been limited to two rare forms of childhood epilepsy What is the Endocannabinoid system? Discovered in the 20th Century, the endocannabinoid system is a biological system composed of endocannabinoids that are neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors in the mammalian brain and body. CBD is one of the primary cannabinoids found in hemp. These cannabinoid receptors play a pivotal role in physiological processes such as mood, memory and pain. There are two cannabinoid receptors - CB1 and CB2 that are located on cells throughout the body. What are CB1 and CB2 Receptors? CB1 receptors are primarily located on nerve cells in the brain, spinal cord and central nervous system. They are very abundant in the cerebellum, basal ganglia, and hippocampus. The CB1 receptors have been found to play a role in memory processing, motor regulation, pain sensation, mood, and sleep.  CB2 receptors are primarily found on cells in the immune system and its associated structures. When activated, they stimulate a response that fights inflammation, which can reduce pain and minimize damage to tissues. How do these receptors work? Cannabinoids help coordinate and regulate how we feel and think by binding with the endocannabinoid system’s CB1 and CB2 receptors. Fitting like puzzle pieces, cannabinoids are designed to link together with the cannabinoid receptors. Linking activates the receiving neuron into action, triggering a set of events to pass along the message and carry out a variety of cellular responses needed for homeostasis and healthy functioning. ---> 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.

Monocrops are the number one most susceptible crop to pests, destruction, and possibly famine. By saving seeds, we maintain crop diversity. When we save seeds and store them, we’re not relying on the potential doom and gloom of industrial agricultural systems. - Sefra Alexandra We find ourselves in a pinch of time in our ethnobotanical history where the genetic biodiversity of our planet is in rapid decline. The seeds that hold the knowledge of our land and the memory of our ancestors are being ignored and forgotten. Today, 93% of vegetable varieties have already gone extinct. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE   Discover how easy it is to begin seed saving at home, plant, and grow crops in your window box, patio, or garden. "The solution for stable, nutritious crops that can grow in non-fertilized, non-irrigated soil exist; there just needs to be a larger conversation about what those crops are and how they can be shared with the world." - @TheSeedHuntress on @WellnessForce wellnessforce.com/238   Click here to learn more about seed saving and the Crop Trust Our mission is to ensure the conservation and availability of crop diversity for food security worldwide. It has never been more critical to conserve crop diversity. We need the greatest possible diversity of crops to secure our food supply at a time when we are making unprecedented demands, and putting unprecedented pressure, on our environment. A 10,000 YEAR LEGACY WE CAN’T LEAVE TO CHANCE Throughout the history of agriculture, farmers have generated a seemingly endless diversity within crops, discovering ingenious solutions to local challenges. Meanwhile, many of the wild relatives of these crops have also persisted in nature, adapting to tough environments. Crop diversity allows farmers to feed the world. But this diversity is not in fact endless. It is disappearing, and once lost, it’s lost forever.  We need crop diversity both in farmer’s fields and stored in genebanks – available to all through an efficient global system to ensure that nutritious food will be available at stable and affordable prices without expanding agriculture’s footprint. Safeguarding biodiversity in – and around – agriculture is a prerequisite for food security. No single institution can hold this diversity, which amounts to millions of distinct crop varieties and make it available to plant breeders and farmers around the world. The Crop Trust brings together and secures those genebanks that are tasked by the international community with conserving this legacy for all of us.   Listen To Episode 238 As Sefra Alexandra Uncovers: What it means to be a seed huntress and how she became involved in seed banking. The differences between ex situ conservation and in situ conservation of plant or animal species. What consequences and issues happen when aid organizations send in seeds from the US to natural disaster zones in other countries. Our natural connection with the earth and how she connects with it in her own way. What a 'higher power' is to her as a spirit who moves through all things. Why there isn't a current universal focus on preserving seeds for future generations and what she's doing to help change that. What you can do to start seed saving and growing your own food if you live in a large city. Permaculture - what it is and how it's becoming more and more popular in cities like Los Angeles. The problem with patented seeds in our farming industry and how GMOs can spread during pollination season to other farms. Seed Law 101 - what to know about patented seeds, Monsanto, and open source options from seed catalogs. The Food Forever Initiative to try and maintain natural plant and crop diversity. How we can feed and nourish the world through seed saving compared to monocropping. Why we don't have to rely on only 12 crops and get nutrition from only 4 of them: canola, corn, wheat, and soy. Edible forest gardening - what it is and how it helps to both save seeds and regrow forests. The nutritional benefits of kelp, seaweed, and other sea vegetables for not just humans but the marine environment as well. The Seeds Savers Exchange - what it is and how it can help you get started in saving seeds, growing vegetables, and learning more about it. The various varieties of crops and plants that you can order from a seed catalog. What she thinks seed collecting will look like in 5, 10 years. Why herbs are the easiest thing that you can begin to plant today. The benefits of taking oregano oil for different uses when necessary. Power Quotes From The Show "Just because monocropping is giving people calories, it doesn't mean we're giving them nutrition. The reality is that we're also dealing with a lot of malnutrition througout the world because of the monoculture." - @TheSeedHuntress on @WellnessForce wellnessforce.com/238 "It's too late to be pessimistic; it's all about optimism now. Often times, people forget about the power they have to be stewards and caretakers of the earth. In fact, it's a lot easier than what most people think. It's a great feeling to see how communities are rebuilt and regenerated after a natural disaster occurs. The same thing can be said about rebuilding an environment and ecosystem." - Sefra Alexandra "Each corn kernel you eat is a whole corn plant. Each apple seed is an entire apple tree. An acorn can grow into an oak. When you start to have reverence and understand the magic embryos that you are encountering every day, you start to have a different relationship towards being around food." - Sefra Alexandra "We can walk into a grocery store here and there is just this gorgeous cornucopia of food available. There are very few countries where everyone is dieting. In most countries, people are dying. This comes from a huge point of privilege and to look at all this abundant food but not have an appreciation for it. Seed saving is so much easier than people think. You can take the seeds of a tomato you like and grow them in your own garden or window box at home." - Sefra Alexandra "You can either focus on the doom and gloom of the big corporations like Monsanto or realize that the power is exactly inherently the opposite; it's completely in our hands. When we take seeds, plant, and save them, we're not relying on these bigger, industrial agricultural systems. That's how we build our own resilience." - Sefra Alexandra   Links From Today's Show   Sefra Alexandra Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest   Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance Seed School Online  Food Forever Initiative Spartan UP!

The impact of the business partnership between Monsanto and the pharmaceutical company, Bayer. An increasing amount of lawsuits against Monsanto and why a total of 10,000 is expected by the end of this year. Power Quotes From The Show "It takes a big man to make a big and powerful company but it takes an even bigger man to acknowledge when something is not working and to go in a new direction." - What @zenhoneycutt said to the Monsanto CEO. Learn more on @WellnessForce Radio episode 237 wellnessforce.com/237 "Not just for Moms Across America but for consumers from all around the world, this trial that found Monsanto guilty was really a triumph for all of humanity and life on this planet. This sends the message to the chemical companies that you must be responsible for your role in your products and for the outcome of what happens in the world." - Zen Honeycutt "I understand the wanting to believe our government, media, or regulatory agencies but what I found when I looked deeper was that these chemicals actually aren't approved by the EPA. The EPA only requires safety studies on one ingredient in a product and there could be 50 different ingredients. Since the 1980s, we have come to understand that the other ingredients in RoundUp besides glyphosate are a thousand times more toxic than glyphosate. Not to say that glyphosate alone isn't harmful but the other chemicals are a thousand times more toxic and they have never been approved by the EPA. So, to say that the product is safe and to just trust the product that's on the shelf is safe to use around your kids and pets is a perception that was created with brilliant marketing by Monsanto to mislead the public. Their claims don't have a scientific foundation and are not based on anything or that's been presented to the EPA." - Zen Honeycutt "People are realizing that agriculture has had an addiction to these chemical cocktails and by shining the light on glyphosate, it's become known what's happening in the food system so that people can choose to opt out of this chemical monopoly. We can choose to eat organic, grow our own food, and to know our farmers. I call this the beginning of the end of this chemical era." - Zen Honeycutt "The monocrop culture which is based in the United States is really a way for us to export more produce. That act of exporting monocrops to a third world country doesn't actually help them. It may feed them temporarily but it makes them dependent on another country rather than establishing their own local food systems and sustainability. So, it actually decreases jobs, productivity, community, health, and their ability to have access to diverse, local foods." - Zen Honeycutt  Links From Today's Show Zen Honeycutt Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn YouTube Moms Across America Facebook Twitter Instagram MAA National Toxin Free Town Campaign UNSTOPPABLE: Transforming Sickness and Struggle into Triumph, Empowerment and a Celebration of Community Could 2018 mark the end of the anti-GMO movement?

Now backed by extensive scientific research, this idea still holds true today.

Listen To Episode 236 As Dr. Michael Ruscio Uncovers: The Enteric Nervous System (ENS) - what it is, how it connects to the gut, and why it's the second brain. How gut problems like dysbiosis and IBS not only affect the stomach system but the brain and our moods as well. Types of skin issues might occur if a person has a leaky gut. What advanced interleukins testing is and how it helps to check for inflammation. Why each person needs to figure out how gluten affects their individual body compared to focusing on avoiding it at all cost. The benefits of the elimination diet to help your body heal and better understand if any foods affect your body. Why the Ketogenic diet isn't for everyone even though it's all everyone is talking about.

Why taking the minimal suggested dose is so important when it comes to taking any kind of medicine including cannabis. Why slowing down and take your health step by step and observing changes might just be what you need to do to heal. Power Quotes From The Show "There is this connection between the brain and the gut. When you see a problem in the gut, you will almost always see that manifest in the brain. The Enteric Nervous System of the gut is basically your second brain." - @DrRuscio on @WellnessForce Radio wellnessforce.com/236 "When it comes to their health, people make things more complicated than they need to be. They overcomplicate things because they hear other tidbits and have a hard time following just one lead. Or they overcomplicate things in the sense of thinking that in order to follow this protocol, they have to do everything perfectly. The biggest thing people can do is to just find a simple system like the one in Healthy Gut, Healthy You, just chill out, and do their best to go through it." - Dr. Michael Ruscio "If you're someone on a budget and you're trying to get healthy, then do not spend hundreds of dollars on one of these tests because they really don't deliver on the promise that they're making. It's unfortunate that I have to be blowing the whistle here but I'd like it if these companies didn't make these pretty lofty health claims when there really isn't any data to support them." - Dr. Michael Ruscio "Slow down, do one thing at a time, and realize that to learn what your body needs, you can't do 7 things at once. Do one thing for a few weeks and then move onto the next.

Power Quotes From The Show "Once you get everything that you want, you realize that it's such a small piece of the whole entire picture. I want as many as people as possible to wake up and recognize their own greatness." - @drewcanole on @wellnessforce Radio episode 235 wellnessforce.com/235 "When you make the conscious act every day to supply yourself with the highest quality nutritious, organic superfoods that have been clinically tested to legitimately lower your stress, reduce depression, increase your energy, improve your mood, and do all of these absolutely amazing things for the human body, it just changes you." - Drew Canole  "If I am part of divinity and a pencil in the hand of God plus know that God is constantly expanding in the constant universe, rippling out then my natural ability to expand co-exists with what that is. The big bang is inside of me so my ability to be open is really my ability to hook to the infinity that's within me. That's the greatest secret of all because once you have access to that and it's not about you, your dream life is there and divine synchronicity starts to happen. God or the universe is using us consistently but we have to be open to it." - Drew Canole "Put your faith out there and just be you; don't try to change yourself in order to sell more products because that's not going to be fun. You're going to get to the end of your life and you'll have all this money but if you lose yourself in the process of making money, that's not a life worth living. You just want to become more of who you are and you want the world to pay attention and buy that."  - Drew Canole "Soul mapping is really turning inwards, getting deep within yourself, and recognizing the patterns in our lives. When you look back far enough on your life, you'll see this red thread of patterns of your soul's choices. Once you get to that point, you're much more equipped to make choices from your soul in the future. A lot of times, we make choices from our mind but if you can start to make choices from your heart and soul, your purpose and desire for what you want to create on this planet really start to enlarge."  - Drew Canole Links From Today's Show Drew Canole Facebook Twitter Instagram Organifi FitLifeTV YouTube  Facebook Pinterest You Be You WFR 078 Drew Canole: Self Love, Juicing, & Transformation FitLifeTV Alpha Reset Wayne Dyer Jim Fortin The Joel S.

We do have power and we do have a choice but I think we underestimate the power that we have. It saddens me that many people just go about their business every day without considering the impact of their choices. Even though I'm 100% plant-based, I've never taken the position of telling a person what they should or shouldn't do but I do want people to know about the miracle of plants and superfoods; just for them to eat more and better nutritious foods. If you can grow your own, find your own, or support companies by really voting with your money, that's a good thing. - Darin Olien How can the power of your wallet make a dramatic shift in the way the world sees, produces, and consumes food?

Discover how the superfood, Barùkas nut, of the Baru fruit from the Brazilian Cerrado (pronounced 'sahadu') can improve your health, help others, and leave behind a smaller water footprint. "It's actually more economical for you to be biting into a Barùkas nut and getting all those superfood nutrients for your money than what you're paying for an almond."- @SuperLifeLiving on @wellnessforce Radio episode 234 wellnessforce.com/234   Order and try Barùkas here data-template-name="productDescription"> Barùkas are the healthiest nuts on the planet; literally a mini-cocktail of hard to find micronutrients and vegan protein. A single handful packs your daily fiber requirement, and it’s simply amazing how many healthy micronutrients are in each bite. But they’re not just good for you, they’re good for the world. Barùkas represent an amazing opportunity to reforest our planet and sustain indigenous communities on their land. The trees that give these nuts are called Baruzeira. They are found in the Amazonian savanna biome called the Cerrado (pronounced sahadu), which covers an area 3 times the size of Texas. It’s one of the most beautiful areas in the world. Unfortunately, this immense biodiversity is already being deforested to make way for cattle ranching. The growth of Barùkas can help put an end to the deforestation and preserve the original flora. Not only that, it will allow indigenous people to make a sustainable living off the land. It’s truly a win all around. For your health, the health of the planet, and the health of the world community. Give them a try and let us know what you think.

On one respect, the body is doing everything it can to stay in that balance but if you're being exposed to something over time and you don't know it and you keep eating your regular food that has a heavy metal which no one has ever tested, then all of a sudden you'll start to question, 'Why I do forget things?', 'Why am I sluggish?','Why is my thyroid off?' and the list goes on ten and twenty years down the line." - Darin Olien "Then long-term longevity studies, researchers on the blue zones, and centurions know without a doubt that the research is in: believing in a higher power and having faith in something outside of yourself is good for your health. However, you have to stop the judgment; to believe in something but to then judge others for having a different belief is not helping. Get rid of the judgment, leave it alone, and live your life." - Darin Olien "We have to get outside, take off our shoes, and expose our skin to the sun without chemicals for periods of time.

Just get back into the primal aspects of being exposed to the sunlight, feel the cold weather, or touch the real earth with your feet." - Darin Olien   Links From Today's Show Darin Olien Facebook Twitter Instagram SuperLife Barùkas Facebook Instagram Twitter Excursions with SuperLife SuperLife Superfood Conservancy SuperLife: The 5 Simple Fixes That Will Make You Healthy, Fit & Eternally Awesome Barùkas® Trail Mix | The New Superfood on Kickstarter RainCatcher Darin Olien: A Superfood Hunter On Peak Nutrition & Next Level Hydration The Indiana Jones Of Superfoods: Stem Cells, Air-To-Water Machines, Coffeefruit & More With Darin Olien VARIDESK Sit-to-Stand Desks The Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown Dr. Michael J.

It’s his no-judgment, progress-focused, supportive approach that gets results. Darin’s interest in food and nutrition began when a college football injury drove him to uncover better ways to heal his body. He realized there had to be a better option out thereafter he struggled to recover using only traditional Western medicine treatments that failed to address the healing potential of his diet and lifestyle choices. It’s then that he began to pursue a healthier lifestyle and deeper understanding of how hydration, nutrition, and exercise can truly impact the human body. Darin changed his major, studying Exercise Physiology and Nutrition. He now holds a Bachelor degree in this field as well as a Masters in Psychology.  Today Darin is widely recognized as an authority and valuable resource on plant-based nutrition, supplement formulation and elite performance programs, which he has created for some of the top athletes in the world. After 20+ years of travel and unwavering dedication to research, Darin published his book, “SuperLife: The 5 Simple Fixes That Will Make You Healthy, Fit & Eternally Awesome” in 2015 at the same time that the online SuperLife community was founded. One year later, the leading SuperLife 10-Day Nutrition program was launched, which has helped thousands successfully reclaim their health and experience the healing power of plant-based nutrition.     Get More Wellness In Your Life Join the WFR Community on facebook Send Josh Trent a personal message Tweet me on Twitter: Send us a fun tweet (or a what's up) Comment on the Facebook page Sign up to get an email alert whenever we release a new episode Support This Podcast Leave a 5 star review on iTunes Share this episode with someone you care about Contact Wellness Force Radio for podcast sponsorship and partnership opportunities Rate & Review Wellness Force ---> REVIEW THE PODCAST Ask A Live Question For The Next Episode ---> Click here to leave a voicemail directly to Josh Trent to be read live on the air.  You May Also Like These Episodes Food Freedom Forever With Melissa Hartwig Nir Eyal: Breaking Bad Habits, Technology Addiction, & Emotional Triggers Healthy, Happy & Harder To Kill w/ Steph Gaudreau of Stupid Easy Paleo Beyond Meditation: How To Get A Better Brain With Ariel Garten Living A Healthy Lifestyle In A Modern World With Dan Pardi Creating A Life Worth Living With Michael Strasner   Join the Wellness Force Newsletter: www.wellnessforce.com/news Don't miss next week's show: Subscribe and stay updated Did you like this show on Ketosis? Rate and review Wellness Force on iTunes You read all the way to the bottom?
