Power Quotes From The Show "Plants will give you their medicine if you treat them with respect. We extract at room temperature and with no pressure; that's our way of respecting the plant & asking it to give us its medicine." - #RetTaylor of #Ned on @wellnessforce Radio episode 233 wellnessforce.com/233 "I started researching why I'm so drawn to nature and through that process, I realized my purpose. I'm here to help people, businesses, and organizations reconnect with nature. So, Ned is very much an extension of that for me." - Ret Taylor "I was living this life in New York City that I thought I wanted but I ended up just feeling empty. At the end of the day, there was no connection to nature. I'd grown up going to my grandparent's farm in Finland every summer and my family had these 4 acres that I enjoyed as a child but by the time I was 30, I had completely severed this relationship I had with the natural world. I had worked so hard to accomplish becoming this type of person and build this identity for myself but it essentially all just became a life raft for me and I started to question what I was really here for." - Adriaan Zimmerman "Whether it's insomnia, anxiety, pain, or cancer, many people who seek out hemp oil resources do so because they are stuck in a prison. Through nature, we're able to thrive and the deeper connection we have with nature, the more we're able to thrive. That's why we as a society are not thriving as much as we could. As soon as we go to the mountains and stand beneath the Redwoods, that's when the thriving begins to happen. That's what we're really trying to do with Ned; to take something from nature and to do it as ethically, simply, and naturally as possible, put it in a bottle, and let people know exactly where this hemp oil comes from." - Ret Taylor "We don't want to be just a hemp oil company. We are searching the world for the best, natural remedies and we plan to bring many of those back home under the Ned label. In five years time, we'd love for Ned to be that alternative to a pharmacy so you won't have to go sift through all sorts of literature and endless aisles at the drugstore. Instead, we'll just make it simpler for you with natural, whole products. That's our mission beyond hemp oil." - Adriaan Zimmerman "Plants will give you their medicine if you treat them with respect. If you take those plants and throw them in a thrasher and then extract them at a super high temperature with massive amounts of pressure, you will get some medicine out but you don't know how good that medicine is or what its molecular structure and profile looks like. We extract at room temperature and with no pressure; that's our way of respecting the plant at the end of its life and asking it to give us its medicine." - Ret Taylor Links From Today's Show Ned & Co.

WFR 111 Evan Brand WFR 184 Scott Nelson WFR 226 Paul Chek About Ned & Co. Ned ™ was officially born one cold October morning on an alpine climbing expedition in the heart of Colorado’s Indian Peaks Wilderness. After spending years in different industries chasing our previous ideas of "success" in some of the world’s busiest cities, we had come to the realization that there is something fundamentally broken about the way we, as a modern society, are approaching our health and well-being. Many of us are feeling the consequences of device addiction, stress, anxiety, and a multitude of other ailments that have come to rule our lives. We are too quick to turn to doctors and prescription drugs as a first line of defense. We were reminded, in our own ways, that the best answers often lie in nature… in a walk through the forest; in the glow of a campfire; and in the plants, herbs, roots, fungi, and the very soil that our ancestors have used for millennia. That is why we created Ned. We knew that getting into the elements on that October morning would fuel the creative wave we were riding. The two of us set out in blizzard conditions and, sure enough, by the time we were thawing out over well-earned burritos, we had built our foundation. Ned is a representation of our passion for feeling better and living better through simple means and a deep connection to the natural world. We truly believe we were put on this earth to share in the wonderment of nature and rediscover all of the healing power that it holds.     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?

Sofia Adler: In an attempt to be completely honest andvulnerable, I want to share that I’m going through a tough time emotionally. It’s a big transition period for me, which is exciting, but hard. I know deep down that this time of my life is simply the start of something new and exciting. Nonetheless, there are many unknowns ahead. The feelings I’m wading through right now aren’t easy; I have negative emotions far more than positive emotions these days. ---> 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  I’m sharing all of this because I’m working on being more honest with myself and others about how I’m feeling. I’ve made this honesty part of my awareness practice, which helps me shift my attention from ruminating over what’s wrong and focus on the steps I’m taking to get myself back on track, feel more aligned and reconnect to myself. I know I’m shedding parts of my old self so I can welcome in the new and step into who I’m meant to (and want to!) be. IT’S TRUE: WE TEACH WHAT WE NEED TO LEARN My recommitment to a strong awareness practice validates the common saying that we teach the lessons we ourselves need to learn. So, in the spirit of this wise message, I want to introduce some relevant positive psychology research by Barbara Fredrickson on positive emotions. Fredrickson's research provides a “how” for overcoming, or at least lessening, the grip of negative emotions. Before I do that however, I want to remind you that we need to honor both the positive and negative parts of our lives. As Francis Bacon once said, “In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present”. One can’t exist without the other. It is often those times of darkness that help us appreciate the light that much more. REMEMBER: THE GOOD CAN’T EXIST WITHOUT THE BAD! I bring this point up again because I don’t want you to walk away from this post thinking you should only focus on positive emotions. It’s common to receive advice to focus on the good as a solution to our problems, which isn't necessarily a bad thing (and a message that I share with others too!), but it has to be taken in the right context. It can be frustrating – even irritating – to receive advice that implies you should ignore what you’re struggling with and see the world through rose colored glasses. I’ve felt this way a lot lately; I’ve been reminded of how hard it can be to focus on the good when the going gets tough. If it’s hard for you too, I hope my story reminds you that no one – and I mean no one – is perfect. We are all in this together. LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR EMOTIONS Both positive and negative emotions are momentary by nature. Nonetheless, emotions don’t always feel fleeting. They may arise quickly in response to a thought or event, but they can also have a lasting effect on our beliefs, decisions and actions. Our emotions thus directly impact how we live our lives. Psychology research on emotions has historically been reserved for negative emotions, but the rise of positive psychology has led to a surge in research on positive emotions – what they are, how they work and how we can use them to our advantage. Professor Barbara Fredrickson is one of the pioneer researchers on positive emotions, best known for her Broaden and Build theory. WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS: BROADEN AND BUILD THEORY Through the Broaden and Build theory, Fredrickson explains that positive emotions broaden people's momentary thought-action repertoires, which build their enduring personal resources, ranging from physical (cardiovascular health!) and intellectual resources to social and psychological resources (resilience!). In other words, positive emotions broaden our awareness, which opens us up to more possibilities and sparks our creativity. Positive emotions expand our peripheral vision, helping us see more and capitalize on the opportunities around us. Research also shows that negative emotions have the opposite effect. Negative emotions cause us to narrow our beliefs and prevent us from seeing multiple outcomes or opportunities when presented with a problem. Consider our fight or flight (survival) mechanism, for example. When your body thinks you’re at risk and signals the negative emotion of fear, your immediate reaction is to run. There’s no time for considering the various possible outcomes or whether or not the risk is real; we experience a tunnel vision of sorts and take immediate action accordingly. This is beneficial (and necessary!) in a threatening situation, but this type of limited thinking holds us back in less dire circumstances. POSITIVE EMOTIONS AND THE POWER OF POSSIBILITY Now that you understand more about the power of our emotions and the way they can shape our outlook and actions, I want to introduce one last principle: The Positivity Ratio. The positivity ratio explains that our negative emotions are more impactful than our positive emotions. Put simply, we need many positive emotions to outweigh the effects of a single negative emotion. The initial ratio of 3:1 positive to negative emotions has recently been disproven empirically, but the general premise of the research still stands. In order to fully process and absorb the meaning of the positivity ratio, I like to reference a helpful analogy I picked up from one of my teachers. Think of negative emotions as rocks and positive emotions as feathers. If placed on a scale, you’d need far more feathers than rocks to balance things out or tip the scale in positivity’s favor! HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO REMEMBER I’m a big fan of understanding the “why” before I act. In order to make sure you fully grasp the meaning of this research and how you can apply it to your life, I’ve summarized what I feel are the key takeaways below: Next time you get frustrated when someone tells you to focus on the positive, remind yourself there’s empirically proven research behind this advice. When done in the right context, focusing on the good causes an increase in positive emotions, which can have a profound impact on your lives and the way you see the world. If you feel stuck and can’t seem to find any sort of solution, your emotions may be to blame. Positive emotions help us see that there are many potential ways to deal with a problem, whereas negative emotions do the exact opposite. Both positive and negative emotions have a significant impact on our thoughts and actions, yet we have to be aware of the power dynamics between the two. We need far more positive emotions than negative emotions to break the hold of negative emotions, thoughts and feelings (remember, feathers vs. stones!). Finding ways to spark more positive emotions throughout the day (micro-resilience!) is key to maintaining longstanding happiness. Take some time to let all of this sink in. I’ll share some of my favorite ways to boost positive emotions in my next post; but in the interim, I’d love to hear your favorite techniques! In the upcoming months, I’ll explain micro-resilience in more detail and show how it can be applied to the six pillars of wellness – thoughts, feelings, actions/behaviors, eating, movement and sleep – in bi-monthly blog posts. Click here if you'd like to be kept in the loop for upcoming posts and all things micro-resilience.  About The Author As a former marketing strategist and avid reader, Sofia Adler is a lover of storytelling (especially the stories we tell ourselves).

Power Quotes From The Show "The easiest way for me to change how I feel and shift my mindset is to just start moving my body. Find your healthy outlet to really move your mind and body in a more positive matter." - @yelkaim on @wellnessforce Radio episode 232 wellnessforce.com/232 "When you give yourself a certain identity, you kind of box yourself into a stereotype to some degree. So, a lot of people with weight issues can't really identify or visualize themselves as a lean, thin, energetic person. The problem with that is if you can't even see that for yourself as a possibility, then you're not going to act in accordance with that. Our brain is never going to act or our body will never behave in discord with how we see ourselves. So, how we behave and our beliefs; all of this has to be congruent with how we see ourselves showing up in the world which is essentially our self-identity." - Yuri Elkaim "It's important for all of us to realize that we're here for a reason. I don't think we'd be here if there wasn't a reason. So tell yourself, 'I believe I'm here for a reason. Perhaps I'm not too sure what that is but I'm here which means that I'm here for a reason and I'm going to figure it out.' That is part of the spiritual journey of understanding yourself and achieving self-actualization." - Yuri Elkaim "Structure equals freedom. When we look at our lives and how we live our days, I really believe that a lot of people have to structure their day. How does structure give us more freedom? When you plan ahead, you don't have to think in the moment. When you think ahead of time, that alleviates the need to make those daily decisions. Meal planning works because the worst question you can ask yourself in the moment, especially with a family, is, 'What's for dinner?' If you ask that question when it's time for dinner, you've already lost the battle." - Yuri Elkaim   Links From Today's Show Yuri Elkaim Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest Healthpreneur Healthpreneur Live 2018 Facebook Instagram YouTube Healthpreneur Podcast Getting Past Your Emotional Demons to Create a Business Breakthrough with Josh Trent [Episode 125] From Soccer to Bed to No Hair On My Head (My Unusual Journey) The All-Day Energy Diet by Yuri Elkaim The All-Day Fat Burning Diet by Yuri Elkaim How to Beat Cancer: The Top 15 Cancer-Fighting Foods Yuri Elkaim: Raw Food Dieting, Where Vegans Go Wrong, and What Canadians Think of Canola Yuri Elkaim Quick Facts The Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Psycho-Cybernetics Tony Robbins WFR Free Guide: The Morning 21 WFR 046 Dr. John Gray   About Yuri Elkaim Yuri Elkaim is a bit of an outlier and renegade in the nutrition and health community.

Children are now sicker than their parents for the first time in history. One out of two children now has a chronic disease and this was unheard of as little as two to three decades ago. This is a drastic health change in our lifetime that mostly stems from the gut. No doubt that we are all affected by this gut intestinal permeability, leaking gut, and dysbiosis which is an imbalance of the microorganisms in our gut's micro-biome. - Dr. Michelle Perro As a parent, doctor, or educator, how can you step into the role of helping children eat more nutritious, organic foods? JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE On Wellness Force Radio episode 231, pediatrician, lecturer and consultant at Gordon Medical Associates, and co-author of What's Making Our Children Sick?, Dr. Michelle Perro, shares her favorite tips and hacks on how to buy, prepare and eat healthy on a budget; which genetically modified, processed ingredients and foods you can easily keep out of your diet; and how organic farming can actually feed everyone, nourish the planet, and combat climate change.

With chronic disorders among American children reaching epidemic levels, hundreds of thousands of parents are desperately seeking solutions to their children’s declining health, often with little medical guidance from the experts. What’s Making Our Children Sick? convincingly explains how agrochemical industrial production and genetic modification of foods is a culprit in this epidemic. Is it the only culprit? No. Most chronic health disorders have multiple causes and require careful disentanglement and complex treatments. But what if toxicants in our foods are a major culprit, one that, if corrected, could lead to tangible results and increased health? Using patient accounts of their clinical experiences and new medical insights about the pathogenesis of chronic pediatric disorders―taking us into gut dysfunction and the microbiome, as well as the politics of food science―this book connects the dots to explain our kids’ ailing health. What’s Making Our Children Sick? explores the frightening links between our efforts to create higher-yield, cost-efficient foods and an explosion of childhood morbidity, but it also offers hope and a path to effecting change. The predicament we now face is simple. Agroindustrial “innovation” in a previous era hoped to prevent the ecosystem disaster of DDT predicted in Rachel Carson’s seminal book in 1962, Silent Spring. However, this industrial agriculture movement has created a worse disaster: a toxic environment and, consequently, a toxic food supply. Pesticide use is at an all-time high, despite the fact that biotechnologies aimed to reduce the need for them in the first place. Today these chemicals find their way into our livestock and food crop industries and ultimately onto our plates. Many of these pesticides are the modern-day equivalent of DDT. However, scant research exists on the chemical soup of poisons that our children consume on a daily basis. As our food supply environment reels under the pressures of industrialization via agrochemicals, our kids have become the walking evidence of this failed experiment. What’s Making Our Children Sick? exposes our current predicament and offers insight on the medical responses that are available, both to heal our kids and to reverse the compromised health of our food supply.   Listen To Episode 231 As Dr. Michelle Perro Uncovers: How she teamed up with local moms in her area to put an end to pesticides being sprayed in their city.

Power Quotes From The Show "Can you be the parent who brings oranges to the soccer game and not cupcakes? Can you be that mom or dad? You be the model for change. It begins with you; don't pass it on to somebody else." - #DrMichellePerro on @wellnessforce Radio episode 231 wellnessforce.com/231 "Organic farming isn't only doable but it can feed and heal the planet. As regenerative farming and organic soil remove CO2 from the earth, they also nourish the planet and combat climate change." - Dr. Michelle Perro "We have been molded into complacency believing that we're going to be taken care of by the food industry. We've come to falsely believe that they have our best interests at heart and nothing could be further from the truth. They're adding increased processed fats, salt, toxic colors and dyes for you to buy more food and increase their profit; they're not doing it for your health" - Dr. Michelle Perro  "Western medicine has been so beneficial for health; however, it has to be expanded to care for and assist with these chronic health issues that we're seeing because of what we've done to ourselves. Let's not attack western medicine but expand it. We can have a medical curriculum for healthcare practitioners that isn't only based on the pharmacy industry but based on nutrition or supplements and herbal medicine when needed. Herbals have been around for thousands of years. We need to expand our thinking; not contract it. We need to be positive; not negative. I don't say get rid of western medicine; I say expand it to include many forms of healing." - Dr. Michelle Perro    Links From Today's Show Dr. Michelle Perro LinkedIn What's Making Our Children Sick?

This past week I spent 8 days in the Eastern Sierras. While I originally went for nature therapy, hiking, movement, and connecting with friends, I wound up experiencing an NDE. It was the second time I was gifted one of these in 2018, except this time it happened at 12,000 feet. Illuminated by a full moon, and trying to sleep while laying on the cold gravel in a small tent at the Mount Whitney trail camp, I felt my heart pounding fast and began to realize: I couldn't breathe. After 45 minutes of attempted conscious breathing to calm my nervous system, positive affirmations, and canister oxygen, I finally accepted the truth of what had happened: AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) I made the call. At 1230am, myself and a friend packed up to leave 3 other men to summit that morning while we both walked down the trail with headlamps to lower ground. So I wouldn't die. I recovered, slept, and I write this message to you feeling great, thanks to my decision to listen to my body. My survival brain did me well, it kept me alive. Weight loss, however, does NOT have to feel like this. If losing weight feels like you can't breathe, or if you know someone you care about that feels this way, please share with them the live Q&A link with David Zappasodi tomorrow at 11am PST (2pm EST). Click here then tap "Get Reminder" and tag them in the comments. > Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well.

Renegade Beauty is really about engaging with the elements, being in contact with nature, and getting back in touch with our bodies again. We need to engage with the water, air, sun, and earth aspects of our lives. The body is alive and its cells and bacteria create billions of points of consciousness besides whats being radiated from our thoughts and heart. The ecology of our bodies is what's allowing our cells, bacteria, and our own selves to thrive. - Nadine Artemis Modern advice tells you to pile on all the SPF you can when you go outside but what does ancient wisdom say about the benefits of sunbathing, vitamin D absorption, and avoiding toxic chemicals?

It changes throughout the seasons or by the magazine but it's so deep in our culture and it's growing more because of social media. There are ads and images that we're seeing all the time and we're not even really dissecting them or looking at what's influencing us. Our mission at Living Libations is to really undo that cultural programming. " - Nadine Artemis "Our skin is designed to be exposed to solar rays; it's our form of photosynthesis and cosmic pollination. We have thousands of vitamin D receptors in our skin including places that don't even see the sun. When we receive the sun's rays through our skin, then we're able to literally fill up our vitamin D receptors. While vitamin D supplements are important, especially for people who live in winter climates, we really need to remember that the skin is designed to be exposed to the sun. We need to re-learn that we can trust this ancient design of our bodies." - Nadine Artemis  “Essential oils help us to really tap into our own emotions, mind, and physiology in a way that nothing else can. We have the ability to experience plants and herbs through eating them or drinking tea but essential oils just have this other, unique element that quite frankly is a little bit magical." - Nadine Artemis   Links From Today's Show Nadine Artemis Facebook Living Libations Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest Renegade Beauty: Reveal and Revive Your Natural Radiance Everybody Loves the Sunshine by Living Libations Living Libations - Organic/Wildcrafted Everybody Loves The Sunshine Beach Balm With Zinc Holistic Dental Care: The Complete Guide to Healthy Teeth and Gums Holistic Dental Care on Facebook Carrie Anne Moss Introduces Nadine at the Longevity Now Conference 2018 Dr. Auguste Rollier (The Sun Doctor) The dminder app 11 Things You Need to Know Before Buying Essential Oils Dr. Axe - Articles on Frankincense The Morning 21 Wellness Force Free Guide The Morning Routine Is Dead: Why Rituals Win Better Wellness   About Nadine Artemis Nadine Artemis is the author of two books including Renegade Beauty: Reveal and ReviveYour Natural Radiance and Holistic Dental Care: The Complete Guide to Healthy Teeth and gums.

The root of the problem isn't in your mind or in that way that you're thinking. The root of the problem is that you formed an association when you were younger that you weren't aware of and now you're trying to solve that survival association with your conscious mind which doesn't pair up. That's the only problem you have; that you're trying to use a tool that can't fix the situation. It's like you're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.- David Zappasodi What can you learn from your emotional pain in order to end food cravings, addictions, and unhealthy attachments?

These approaches can sometimes help you to lose weight quickly, but they don’t help you in the long-term. If they did, then efforts at long-term weight-loss would have more than a 3% success rate.

Why you might not be on the right path in your wellness journey if you're at the same place as you were before a year ago from now. The differences between the survival, the reptilian brain, and the conscious mind. Examples of how he's helped clients with their brain flip including one woman with a craving for diet soda. How we're conditioned to associate foods with feeling better and being comforted when we're sad or hurt. Why we're wired to associate past experiences and memories with our senses such as smell and taste. The cycle we go through during a moment of indulgence from being tense to just relaxed. Why it's so vital that a brain flip process occurs during their moment of indulging in something such as soda or ice cream.f How studying marketing is actually really beneficial for him to be able to help his clients with their cravings. His counterintuitive methods and why it works for his clients in helping them relieve emotional pain. Why we need to become a gardener for our thoughts and feelings when trying to create healthier habits. How brain flips are able to happen in just 4-6 days. What you can do in this moment to start ending negative associations with past events or memories. How to make that unsafe feeling actually feel safer when going through a brain flip and making changes in your life. What actually happens in the moment of working towards a complete brain flip. Why focusing too much on our past, faults and problems we've had could create and bring that identity into our future. How he defines generosity and how it comes into play during brain flip sessions for both ourselves and our tribe. How his brain flip therapy differs from traditional talk therapy or support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Overeaters Anonymous. His own experience using his brain flip method on himself to help break the connection between watching movies and ice cream eating habits. What happens after the brain flip and how we can use that for momentum to keep up with behavior change. Power Quotes From The Show "If we're conscious, then we're aware that we have these conflicts and our journey is one of ever improving alignment in some form so that we're becoming more and more aligned with who we are." - @davidmzappasodi on @wellnessforce Radio episode 229 wellnessforce.com/229 "I don't try to help people lose weight so that they can transform their lives later. I help them to drastically and intensely transform their lives right away and then I help them lose the weight. Once we have the brain flip transformation, the survival brain where ice cream no longer equals enjoyment but pain switches the flip so that being overweight no longer means feeling safe anymore but unsafe. Once the conscious brain and the survival brain are one in the same intention, it's easy to change your life and lose weight easily but you have to go through the pain of the brain flip first before you can get to that point." - David Zappasodi "I think traditional talk therapy is great in certain circumstances but in another case, the more that we focus on our past and the problems we've had, the more we create an identity where we bring that into the future and we keep perpetuating it. So, I don't have people focus on their faults at all. I have them listen to an audio of them talking about all the painful things but when they of thoughts and memories come up, we don't try to deal with it, forgive anybody, or anything like that. We just keep going with the practice and all of those mental images and emotions just iron themselves out." - David Zappasodi "Generosity is when we're willing to get out of our comfort zone and do something different which will allow us to let go of the past; to generously give it away. The saying, 'If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always gotten.' That's the opposite of generosity. Generosity is doing something different so that you get a different result. In the process of getting a different result, you're letting go and generously giving away what's no longer needed." - David Zappasodi   Links From Today's Show David Zappasodi Facebook Twitter LinkedIn YouTube Vimeo Immovable Heart Unstoppable Mind by David Zappasodi Brain Flip Weight Loss with David Zappasodi Presentation: Brain Flip Weight Loss WFR 072 Immovable Heart Unstoppable Mind with David Zappasodi Book a call with David The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton David: About The Author of Immovable Heart Unstoppable Mind Immovable Hearts: About the Book 4 Shifts To Absolute Weight Loss - Linda's Testimonial The ONE THING That Creates Obstacles to Weight Loss David Zappasodi on Fox 11 - Santa Barbara David Zappasodi on The Morning Blend About David Zappasodi David Zappasodi is the founder of Empowered Health Now.

JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  Paul Chek: The Revolution Is Coming | Part 3 In Part 3, Paul Chek uncovers: How to identify where you're out of balance so you can use a holistic approach to develop core values that will help you heal. What depression truly is in the human mind - the fear that yesterday will be tomorrow. How to carve out time for yourself with such a busy schedule in this Western, modern society. Views on music genres such as hard rock metal or rap - Are they spreading negativity or do they allow us to embrace the darkness to complement the light? The difference between depression and anxiety. What happiness really is and why it's not having everything you ever wanted. Definition of consciousness as a psychic substance that's not produced blindly but in living awareness of opposites. The fact that the only universal constant is change. How modern culture has become afraid of change rather than seeing it as an invitation to embrace something new and exciting. What it means to be in a real, loving relationship with someone. How to grow and give both your full love and attention to your significant other. Steps to make yourself happy rather than relying on your partner. How to work through difficult times by working with a focus on the labor of love instead of on money. The process he works through with people to help them find their real dream, happiness in their struggles, and identify what challenges have actually helped them grow. The polarity between both men and women in our masculinity and feminity. How men can better treat women in a loving relationship. What wellness means to him and how we can live a life focused on health, self-care, and being conscious. Power Quotes From Part 3 "Your 'yes' has no value until you learn how to say, 'no.' Until you know what your own core value system is, you'll make poor, unhealthy decisions that make you unhappy because you haven't learned how to say, 'no.' Once you understand what your values are, you can shift and move your energy in alignment with your dream." - Paul Chek "If you're listening to sad music when you're sad but you're not taking action to create happiness, then you're actually just medicating yourself with the illness." - Paul Chek "Consciousness is a psychic substance produced not blindly but in living awareness of opposites." - Paul Chek "Depression is the fear that yesterday will be tomorrow.

That is what we need to get back to as a society. You don't need to over exercise but you do need to exercise. You don't need to overeat but you shouldn't under eat." - Paul Chek "Plant medicines don't do the work for you; they open up your psyche and show you what's truly keeping you from being human and a citizen of the universe. From that moment, it's up to you to pick yourself up and walk through the door that they have opened up for you." - Paul Chek "Constant consumerism is an indication that we have lost connection with our soul. We have lost connection with what gives us a sensation of satiation emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We've lost connection to what really is beautiful." - Paul Chek  "Right now, we need all hands on deck to make this world a better place. However, you can't think effectively until you're fed and rested effectively; you can't do any work until you're ready to work; you can't be loving until you're loving to yourself. You have to eat well to think well; you have to eat well to move well; you have to eat well to rest well. If you don't eat well, you can't sleep because your body is jacked up on chemicals and you're full of adrenaline and cortisol. When you see what it takes to be a healthy person, it means you have to go right back to basic principles." - Paul Chek  "A sick body has sick emotions. A sick body has a sick mind. The mind and the body mirror each other; as above so below, as below as above." - @PaulChek on @WellnessForce Radio http://bit.ly/wfpodcast   Links From Today's Show Paul Chek Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn The C.H.E.K.
