Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Paraxanthine Is Going to Change The World "Paraxanthine is the caffeine 2.0. It's going to change the way society thinks, feels, and acts. It's going to be the replacement for caffeine where it's been an abusive relationship for millennia." - Shawn Wells What Is Science? "Science is meant to be empowering. Science is meant to be a journey. Science is meant to be open-ended. I believe that science is an art that's meant to be explored. We never truly get an answer. It's a journey with no definitive beginning or end. And we get to explore and find what makes sense for us, that's science." - Shawn Wells The Benefits of Paraxanthine "Paraxanthine doesn't only give you energy. It increases the nitric oxide to the brain, glutathione, catalase, BDNF neuroplasticity, cognitive flexibility, serotonin, acetylcholine, and dopamine. All the ways that your brain could be younger, it's doing. So it's no longer a come-at-a-cost ingredient like caffeine. It's the ingredient that is going to help us reshape our society, if we let it, in a very healthy way." - Shawn Wells Links From Today's Show  Shawn Wells 618 Shawn Wells + Daniel Solomons | Paraxanthine: UPDATE Your Energy + Vitality Without Caffeine 359 Shawn Wells: Ingredients For Healing, Self Love, & Mental Health 447 Josh Trent with Dr. Doug Brackmann | I am Driven: Embodying Higher Frequencies to Live Your Purpose 686 Mark Groves | Your Triggers Are Your Teachers: How To Answer The Call of Self-Mastery In Relationships + Life Steven Young 692 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream 096 Emotional Resilience, Nootropics + Outsmarting The Modern World – Daniel Schmachtenberger The ENERGY Formula by Shawn Wells How To Eat, Move And Be Healthy! by Paul Chek A 70-Year-Old Billionaire’s Definition of Success   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only EQUIP Foods - 15% off with the code JOSH15 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Legacy Cacao - Save 10% with JOSH when you order by the pound!

Now I'm not a mom and I never will be. And by the way, never will anyone with an XY chromosome. It just won't exist. Men are biologically different and different because we're here to serve a purpose that we can honor in other episodes. Of course, I'm here to honor fathers. I'm a father. But today I really wanted to give grace and respect and homage to mothers. This world that we live in, Mar, there is so much propaganda and so much really conditioning from the media and let's just call it out for what it is, the woke mind virus that Paul Levy described as Wetiko or the mind virus that native Americans as a projection of the darkness of self, either individually or collectively. And I feel like what we're experiencing with RFK coming to the helm and the health awareness that's gonna sweep our nation at least, and that's gonna trickle over into Europe, is just this ownership of nature and an ownership of self. That just feels so good to say out loud. The fact that mothers are going to have even more spaciousness to be real mothers in America and in Europe and everywhere. But it starts with narrative, it starts with belief... [05:10] Tap Into The Motherly Love Yes, this is a podcast for mothers. This is also a podcast for women who have mothers. And by the way, if you're here, you have one. They're either with us or, you know, they've transitioned to another dimension, another life. And so I just want to honor my mom to start this. And so wherever you're listening, just put your hand on your heart and just feel the warmth of your heart in your hand. And just, if you're driving, just pull over or if you're walking in the park or whatever you're doing, and just close your eyes for a moment and just feel the warmth of your hand on your heart. And I want you to go on an imaginary timeline way back to when your mom first put her hand on your heart. And just feel how loved you were then. Because she loves you the exact same way now. She loved you before you were born. She loved you when you were just an emanation of a star seed. She's loved you since the time you took your first breath. And you are loved in the exact same way by your mother, whether she's here in physical form or not, you are so deeply loved by her. And just trust that that's real. And just take a cold breath with your hand in your heart just feel the warmth of your mother's hand on your chest, penetrating through your skin, going all the way down to your heart. And just be grateful that you are here, that you've had a mother who loved you enough to birth you into this world that didn't get caught up in the propaganda that my body, my choice means reckless sex and hedonism and multiple abortions. Just be grateful that you're here. And also just have compassion in this moment your mom. My mom struggled with bipolar the majority of her life. It still does. And medications are really just for energy and expression that couldn't come out, that didn't have the space or the courage or the safe place to come out. And a lot of moms that deal with bipolar or emotional issues or choosing abusive husbands or choosing dads that choose to leave, all of this, all of this, all of this has nothing to do with the fact that your mom loves you so much that she into this world. She carried you in her body for so many months so that you could draw your first breath. And just let that for a moment, just let that be enough that you're loved so much that you were gifted life through a woman. And just how special that is, how incredibly sacred and beautiful that is, and just hold that in your heart and take a big deep breath and breathe it out. And maybe this is just the one piece of gratitude you could have today, the fact that you were born and your mother loved you enough that she'd carry you in her body and bring you into the world. And now just send that love to your mom wherever she is. Maybe she's with you, maybe she's still here, maybe she's left the planet. And just say thank you, mom. Thank you, mom, for doing everything that you've done so that I could eat, so that I could nurse from your breast, so that I could be nourished by you. And just feel how special it of a mother and that your mother has always done the best she can with the level of consciousness and awareness that she's been brought. Because this is the ultimate truth. You don't need a strategy, you don't need a PDF, you don't need the top 5 ways to love your mom. Just connect with the same heat in your hand that rests on your heart mom touched you for the first time when you were born. And just let that be enough for a moment. And just let the power and the love of that wash over your entire nervous system and just say thank you mom, thank you for being there for me, for taking care of me when I was sick, for loving me when I didn't know how to love myself, for showing me all the ways that I could express myself with joy, or for teaching me by its opposition because I always wanted to experience joy and you showed me the way that I could not experience it. So thank you for its opposite. Because regardless of the trials and the tribulations that we have with our mothers, the fact is that they loved us enough to bring us here. And so, when we have attacks on motherhood and when we have gender dysphoria and vocabulary and nomenclature that are supposed to be for everyone. Well, I'm here to tell you if you stand for everything and everyone, then you fall for anything. And I think what's most important when we talk about this conversation of truly honoring mothers, it is to just give homage and respect and reverence for what it really means to be a mother. This selfless, caring, nurturing, beautiful being with her own imperfections that were gifted to her by her mother. It's just so beautiful. So instead of fighting against gender dysphoria or fighting against this narrative, which really is you feeding it, Stand for motherhood and stand for women instead. Because if we keep fighting what words can you use to describe breastfeeding? What words can you use to describe a mother? A mother is a mother. That's it. There's nothing else. Yes, it's biological, but it's also God-given. It's also from nature... [20:10] Let Go of The Story You're Telling Yourself When we're young, we have such an underdeveloped ego that we think there's something wrong with us. We think that our parents loving us in the best way they know how, which by the way, most of them weren't loved by their parents either. And I say most because it's most. That we create stories to cope that were not lovable, that were not accepting or worthy of love. And it's all a lie. It's a complete fabrication that the ego creates to make sure that we can tough it out as a lone wolf and make it alone. This is why the hashtag boss babe, boss bitch exists. And this is why all the men that have millions of dollars in their bank account still have an empty heart. It's because in their core, they don't actually feel worthy of love and they don't know how to give that love because don't have it to give. So it's these small exercises today where we just honor mothers, just let go of all the fucking story for like 1 minute and just love her and forget all the projections and all the trauma and all the wounding and just imagine what it's gonna be like if God gives you a child that you can hold against your breast and how special it'll be for you to put your hand on that child and how much done as a woman to be able to show up for that child so loving and so imperfect yourself, which is probably the same thought your mom had. When she brought you into the world, she probably said, Mary Padileno, my mom, probably said, I'm gonna love this child, I'm gonna be the best mother, I'm gonna do anything I can for this baby. And then their stuff came in. But see, the difference between us and them is that we are empowered with such radical knowledge that they never had access to. This podcast brings that, our conversation brings that. So if anything, call your mom. Call your mom today and tell your lover, you don't even have to get into the stories because they're there, right? And you'll get to them. But call your mom, send your mom a text, send your mom a card, connect with her, love her because society only wins this narrative of society where mothers are chest feeders and mothers don't exist and gender doesn't exist. That narrative only wins if we feed it, if we fight against it. It's like Paul Levy says, the seed of Wetiko has encapsulated within it the solution to the very virus itself. Always, always, always, encapsulated in every question is the answer. So when we say, how do I love my mom? I've been through so much trauma, she didn't love me the way that I wanted. How do I love my mom? You just love your mom. It's in the question itself. So how do I do the work on myself so that I can pierce through all the generational bullshit that's gotten the way that she put on to me from her mother and then from my great great and then from my great because all that stuff lives in our body. A really great teaching from this is the Paul Chek episode that's coming next week, where he said that Carl Jung states that the unfinished business of parents will be finished by their children. And it's true on a cellular level, on an energetic level. So yeah, I mean, it would be great if our moms could hang out in a shop and just laugh and hug each other, and we could hug them, and just having these moments of healing, having these moments of somatic connection without story, Without all the stuff that's there, because we know it's there. It's there. But can we just honor mothers?...

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show The Unfinished Business of Your Parents "Whatever you have not resolved in this lifetime will go with you and your children will have to work on it. This is why Jung said, all children are tasked with the unfinished business of their parents' lives. Even if your kids didn't know about it, they're going to have to carry it out because your soul is still in resonance with their genes. So everything that's unresolved in you actually is like a flow of desire that's coming through the psychic energy that the DNA of their bodies is picking up because they're in resonance with you as their parent." - Paul Chek Should You Take Plant Medicine? "People should not do psychedelic journeys either when they're psychologically not ready, they're doing it for the wrong reasons, they're being pressured into it, or they're doing it with the wrong people that have the wrong motives because you can use a psychedelic just as effectively to enter the dark arts as you can the light arts or the healing arts." - Paul Chek Where Are You Living Untrue to Reality? "Your soul only opens the door to the transcendent experiences that are needed for you to awaken to the truth of yourself at the level of our spiritual development that you're at. So you have a God experience when you're ready for it. And until then you have an awareness of all the parts of you that you've put energy into that are blocking you from realizing the truth of yourself. And that's what real spiritual development is, is becoming aware of where you are living untrue to reality." - Paul Chek Links From Today's Show  Paul Chek Paul Chek | All Is God - 3 Part Series Be Here Now by Ram Dass The Religious Case Against Belief by James Carse IG reel @paul.chek Spirit Gym - 15% off with code "JOSH15" Salicrow and Angie Chek: Death and Beyond  How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy! by Paul Chek 668 Evolve Your Consciousness: The True Healing Work To BE An Adult, Learn How To Love + Live A Thriving Life | Margo Running It Didn't Start With You by Mark Wolynn Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products 🎉 This Year's Black Friday + Cyber Monday Deals!

And these continents are connected either by land or water. And the thing that's most fascinating is that we just forget this, don't we? We forget that someone living in Europe still is breathing the same air that Jesus breathed. It's like energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transmuted, right? The law of thermodynamics and Albert Einstein's work are true then, now, and always. And so there are also certain things when it comes to health because we're talking about health today, with the incredible events that have transpired with the presidential election, with Donald Trump being elected 47th president. Now look, I am not a total fan of everything that Trump says or that he represents. It's really, really important for all of us to feel what I'm about to say. Don't shoot the messenger, just make sure you resonate with the message. Y'all don't have to love me, right? You don't have to love Mar, which kind of sucks, right? Cause don't we just want to be loved Mar? We just want to be loved and accepted by everyone. But part of being a human being is that we just are okay and at peace with the fact that our own safety is within us first and foremost. We don't have to have everyone like us.I can't even imagine what people are feeling in America. You know, 350 million people plus that live in America, I think about 150 or 160 million people actually voted. That means that over half the people, Mar, that live in this space in America didn't even feel empowered enough to cast decision. They didn't even believe in themselves enough. Maybe they're downtrodden by the system. Maybe they don't believe that voting actually has any merit which is partially true if you look at common law which is a whole nother subject. But case in point, just speaking your truth or voting or putting out your pain into the world via choice of what you want to experience versus what you don't want to experience, which I think is at the core of all voting. That's what voting really is. I think that's the most important thing for us to focus on today. So we're going to go over the tweet from RFK Jr. Who is going to be the leader of health in the White House cabinet in 2025. It is absolutely incredible what I'm about to say. I mean, it should send chills down your spine, especially if you look at all the content we've put out over the years in this podcast. And I don't care if it's Paul Levy or Paul Chek or Mark Groves or Dr. William Li or anybody that we've ever had on the show talking about human health, human nutrition, and all the different alternative methods that have proven so successful in health, yet they have been so suppressed by the FDA, the USDA, and really the terrible revolving door that exists because of corruption in government. So Mar, let's go ahead and read this. We're going to link it in the show notes today. By the way, if you're looking for a full-length guest episode, those are on Tuesdays. So make sure you subscribe to the podcast wherever you're listening to this now, and you can get longer format content. We have a really exciting episode coming out next week. Who is our episode with next week? Who is the guest next week, Mar? It's Mary Ruddick. Mary Ruddick, which is actually perfect, because these tribes that Mary Ruddick visited, and then right after that is Paul Chek, I believe, which is so incredible, the timing of what's coming out now. These tribes that Mary visited, they have no connection at all to the FDA. These tribes live healthy, they live happy, and they're in the sun and they're exercising, they're eating animals and drinking raw milk and harvesting things the land. It's just so inspiring the way these people live. And I believe that what Mar's about to read right now is the battleship, turning the massive corrupted battleship that's been going for like a hundred years basically in America. I think we're about to turn it around. I'm really excited about this. So let's read the tweet from Robert F. Kennedy Jr that you can find on our show notes page. Okay Josh, I'm gonna need your help on this because there are words never heard before, so this is really challenging my English skills, so I'm gonna read and you'll know exactly what I'm gonna struggle with. Let's go! FDA’s war on public health is about to end. This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can't be patented by Pharma. If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags. I love this. If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have 2 messages for you. one, keep your records, and two, pack your bags. I absolutely love this. I mean, he's literally declaring peace because the FDA has been at war with public health. The suppression of everything from hydroxychloroquine to ivermectin, to hyperbaric therapies, to chelating compounds, nutraceuticals, sunshine, exercise. Y'all have felt this for a long time. You felt it for a long time and I know that I have too and that's why it's so timely that we discuss this today. Please share this episode with somebody who is completely in the not knowing because I'm about to drop some very uncomfortable truth on your ears. In 2014, Johnson & Johnson paid out $2 billion because of baby powder that actually had really harsh in it. They caused ovarian cancer and asbestos contamination. Just absolutely heartbreaking. And you know that they knew it right? Between the years of 2018 and 2020 Monsanto now part of Bayer was sued for its herbicide roundup which caused non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. These lawsuits argued that Monsanto knew of the cancer, but failed to warn consumers. Bayer in 2020 paid out $10 billion to 100, 000 people. Now y'all tell me, if these pharmaceutical companies are spending literally tens of billions of dollars because of poisoning people, hurting people, killing people, and they knew? How could that not be anything other than evil? Like how could you go to bed at night when you're an executive of Monsanto, when you're an executive of a pharmaceutical company, and you know that your scientists have shared with you that these compounds could harm people, how could you possibly sleep at night? What kind of psychopathy would you need to be going through as a CEO or as an executive to feel so good about the 3 yachts you have and the 40-foot pool in your backyard and your trips to Turks and Caicos that are so much better than a woman who's suffering from lymphoma caused by your product... [30:15] The Pandemic Was BS! I can remember when all the BS first happened in January 2020, I actually got, you know, it's funny, in 2019, I got so sick. It's the most sick I've ever been. I was out for like 3 weeks. I couldn't even walk up a hill without stopping and lying down. I mean, it just destroyed me. I'm almost 100% confident that I had the COVID strain at that time. And there's actually a lot of reports that it came at the end of 2019. But I'll never forget when we got back from Hawaii and when all the craziness started to go on, what was most heartbreaking for me is that people blindly believed what they had been told. And I don't know how that was for you, people forcing you to do things, forcing you to get a jab, forcing you to wear a mask, forcing you to stand in a certain way, forcing you to... I mean, just this forcefulness. It was not just in America, I mean, it was everywhere. These are the same people, by the way, that benefited so much. There were more billionaires and multi-billionaires and more P&L spreadsheets multi-tens of billions of dollars in profit on the pharmaceuticals coffers than in any other time in history. COVID and lockdowns were the greatest transfer of wealth in time, including the Great Depression. There has never been a transfer of wealth that is so massive as there was during lockdowns and during COVID measures. And it is a direct correlation to people outsourcing their power, wanting to be good little boys and girls and do what mommy and daddy or mommy daddy government wants them to do. What was your experience with that? You know, where were you when all the insanity was going down? What did you feel in your heart? Did you know right away that this whole thing was bullshit? I knew right away, yeah. At first, I couldn't believe it. How did you know? But how did you know? Because all of the measures were going against just common sense of what health is about. So just locking us inside while being in nature would actually be much healthier for us, being in the sun would be healthier for us. So I was in Peru at that time and the measures were complete nonsense. So you couldn't use your car, you could only use public transportation. That's the first thing that just makes you question everything. It's like, how does that even make sense? Then they started like all these laws about you can only go out and Wednesday and Friday. On Sunday, nobody can go out at all. And it's just, it's like, how does anybody have so much power to tell me when to be outside or not to be outside? And of course, yes, if you're sick, stay at home, don't see anybody, wear your mask, it's completely fine. But if I'm healthy and I want to move and be outside, why is somebody stopping me from doing that? It just didn't make any sense to me at all. Yeah, because you were just actually in communion with your soul. Your soul knew that this was complete bullshit. And I remember we had our interview with Zach Bush go viral at that time. I did a Facebook Live podcast with him in the middle of everything. And he said, the first thing I would have done if I could have inspired people to do anything was said, everyone needs to go out and go camping together. Everyone needs to just hang out together. Because, and it's not to disrespect the people whose lives were lost, right? There were real lives lost. It was an actual virus that harmed people. Yet, the flu kills people too. And many things that happen in regards to sickness and immunology and virology, they kill people and harm people too. So it's a very aggressive flu essentially. And so yes, take measures and be kind to one another. If you're sick, don't go cough on someone, don't go in a public place. But to live in fear is actually more harmful in the existence of the virus itself. Because when we live in fear, we are more monetizable by these pharmaceutical companies. I felt it, Mar. I mean, I felt the fear. I was like, wait, what if they're right? I mean, I had to go through a whole process of figuring out, was this right? Looking at the research, thank God I was connected to so many doctors, actual MDs in the health sphere, that I realized it's actually okay if I get because I've done the work preemptively to be healthy. What was really apparent is that so many people that don't move, that don't go outside, that eat really terrible foods, that are addicted to drugs, that are already super unhealthy themselves, those were the people that were in the most fear. And it was really a reckoning of all the choices that they had made that put them in the clutches of fear in the first place. And what I'm saying is, in other words, they were already so predisposed to get really radically sick because they were already sick to begin with. They already had so many things about their immune system that were compromised because of the lifestyle they were living. And I think that's the big gift that that plandemic actually showed us is that every single day is an opportunity to move towards health or to move towards disease. I know it's like really myopic for me to say that, but literally, I mean, every single thing that we do every day, like this morning, I had a blood draw for my biomarkers, which costs money. It's an investment...

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 690 How does tribal wisdom inspire modern practices to nurture health and well-being in ourselves and our children? Mary Ruddick, Researcher + Ancestral Nutritionist, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 690, to explore the correlation between chronic illnesses and the modern lifestyle, how traditional tribal practices foster resilience and wellbeing, and why C-sections disrupt essential bacterial transfer crucial for a baby’s gut and immune health. "The places that I go are very traditional. They have not been colonized. They're not wearing T-shirts. They are not dire. They're not hungry. They are the highest version of us. There aren't divorces or cheating. I haven't seen drug abuse or alcoholism.

Why tribal parenting is more loving than parenting in the modern world. [19:00] Tribalism in The West Why most tribes don't place importance on money.

How focusing on the present moment removes the fear of the future. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show C-Section Birth Can Ruin a Baby's Gut Microbiome "In many places, there is a 50% or higher rate of births through C-section and those are usually from women that have already had antibiotics. But even if they hadn't, they're going to have IV antibiotics during the C-section. So when they nurse, the children are not going to get the same microbes that they would have if the mother didn't take antibiotics." - Mary Ruddick Traditional VS Modern Tribalism "Tribalism in the traditional context is what we all want. It is a deep breath of life. Whereas tribalism in our cultures here in the West tends to be the opposite. It tends to be judgmental, exclusionary, reason for violence and aggression. And I really think a lot of it comes down to the ill health of the individuals building up that society." - Mary Ruddick Children In Tribes Are Raised With Confidence "People in tribes have true confidence. And they have it from competence. They're taught competence from a very young age. They're given the tools where they can face danger, but at the same time in a place where they're watched. And so the children grow up with this sense of confidence that's very rational. It's not this self-esteem movement." - Mary Ruddick Links From Today's Show  Mary Ruddick 300 (2006) 682 Dr. Dominik Nischwitz | It’s All In Your Mouth: The Truth About Biological Dentistry’s Impact To Transform Illness To Wellness The Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA GOLD - Save $20 off with code JOSHGOLD HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only EQUIP Foods - 15% off with the code JOSH15 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Legacy Cacao - Save 10% with JOSH when you order by the pound!

This is from Charles Mayfield. He's the CEO of Farrow Life. Now full transparency y'all, he's one of our business partners, right? We're an affiliate for him. But I only, and I mean capital O, I only promote things that I actually use myself. And Farrow Life is one of those products among many other things that we're gonna talk about for skin health today. So let's get into this question from Charles: Josh thanks for this opportunity really excited to hear you rip it up with Paul I guess my question would be you know, the angle I'm coming in with but foundationally, you know Paul does a lot of different stuff and really I think focuses on the foundations of strength the foundations of mental wellness of health and so, you know at the bottom of that pyramid sort of Maslow's hierarchy style foundations. What does he see at the foundation? I mean, you've got food, you've got clean air, clean water, you've got exercise, you know, maybe what foundationally, what kind of exercises, and then obviously I want to know how skincare fits into the hierarchy of self-optimization and so really excited to hear this one. Okay, cool let's go right to you on this 1 mark because I'm gonna get some of Paul's teachings and share those. And also an interesting take on how he even framed the question where he talked about Maslow's hierarchy. I'll talk about that as well. But for you as a woman, and with the absolute siege that is on the psychology of women, where you are literally bombarded by the time you even know what makeup is, what skincare is, with just stories and bullshit and manipulation to really make you feel less beautiful than you are so that the ultimate solution could be for you to buy the Maybelline or buy the Neutrogena or buy the products that will deliver you into beauty. What's that been like for you, your journey as a woman in skincare? Honestly, it's been tough for me personally, because when I was a teenager, I struggled a lot with acne. And also, I really didn't love myself, There were so many parts of me that I wanted to change and especially as a teenager in the 90s or I was a teenager in the early 2000s more or less. So for me, it was just seeing all the skinny girls in the magazine with the perfect retouched skin and all of that. So it conditioned me to believe that only that is beautiful. Nothing else really is perceived as beautiful. So I really, really disliked my body, my face, my skin. I used to wear glasses, so I was also like, I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin at all. And of course I was looking for solutions and like this cream is gonna your cellulite and this cream is gonna get rid of this and it's gonna slim you down and improve your acne. So I tried everything possible. And then eventually I realized that that's not the way to go around things. What is the way to go in your opinion? I feel like there's a lot of inner work that no product can replace ever. Like self-love, self-acceptance. I feel like sometimes self-love can be a little overrated because we first need to learn to accept ourselves. We don't need to love ourselves, but just accept the fact this is who I am, this is how I look, especially right now, because a lot of times people have this goal in mind like once I lose weight, I'm going to love myself. Once I get rid of the acne, I'm going to love myself. But if you can actually accept yourself as you are now with the flaws, with the acne, with the weight that you want to lose, I think that's where the true work is done true self-love and self-acceptance is created. It's so well put because I think what you just shared is probably a mirror of every single woman that has ever embraced her woman-ness. The reality is that we have all been fed a lie for quite some time. For men, it's how much money is in your bank account. For women, it's how sexy are you? How beautiful are you? And I'm here to tell y'all that none of this stuff actually matters when you're on your deathbed. No grandfather or grandmother is going to tell their grandchild with the life wisdom that they have that they wish they would have been more beautiful or they wish they would have made more money. It's just so insane the lies that we believe a reason we believe these and I'm going to get into that right now because of what Charles eloquently said, which I never thought about I've never thought about skincare and Maslow's hierarchy. So at the bottom of the triangle, there are 5 different aspects, right?... [18:10] The Problems with The Beauty Industry So we've already touched on a lot of the pieces of self-love and esteem and how we actually can flip the Maslow's hierarchy so we're not monetizable. But let's talk about the monetizable part because this is really important. So y'all make sure that you share this. The top 5 lawsuits from skincare companies, number 1 was from Johnson & Johnson. They paid out $4.7 billion in settlements for cancer claims because of baby powder, which they astoundingly said that it'll make your skin smooth and it helps your skin. It was all bullshit y'all, and this is not the only one. Next in line was Proactiv, a $40 million settlement for false advertising related to acne specifically. Estee Lauder, $10 million settlement for an anti-aging serum. L'Oreal, $5 million settlement for chemicals and hair straightening products. And Neutrogena, a $20 million settlement over benzene contamination in sunscreens. Look, the reason why these companies are being exposed is because they are for-profit institutions that at their core, I'm sure want to do well for people, but when you get compromised and when your integrity gets compromised in a back boardroom because you want more money on a P&L spreadsheet, it is the biggest sacrifice of the soul to knowingly put out things that harm people and to pretend you're not doing it. And it has to spark a question in all of our hearts. If these, let's just say these 5 companies exposed, how many other skincare companies are putting in complete science experiments on their products that we don't even know we don't know. I mean, there have to be hundreds of these chemicals. So what do we do? Right now that we know that the dark is definitely dark, where's the light? Well, the light is actually a return to nature. It's a return to natural skincare. And I've always said it the same for my whole life. I think a woman looks the most with no makeup. I really do. I think that a woman's beauty that's hidden by makeup is a pseudo-beauty because as soon takes all the makeup off, there she is. It's like a man that's trying to get injections for a larger penis. It's like, where did we go wrong as a society where we started to inject and even fake breasts and fake butts and fake lips Botox and just all this insanity and craziness. It's like, where did we go wrong? And I think where we went wrong is we started to believe what you had talked about more. And this is for men and women, by the way, where we just didn't think we were good enough. We didn't think we were beautiful enough. We didn't know how to accept ourselves and how to feel good because we were comparing ourselves to the popular boy or the popular girl in high school that just genetically was maybe blessed that we weren't blessed with, but we were blessed in other ways. And so it's a strange thing that we've fallen into this, this cave, but there's a way out. And the way out is through the light...

It's Wellness + Wisdom. This is Josh Trent and today is our AMA where we talk about Ask Me Anything. Now look, anything means anything, right? On this podcast, we explore the wellness pentagon, which is the way we nourish or starve ourselves through the 5 sides of self, our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial you. That's why you're here. That's why you clicked on this because you're interested in growing the nourishment of all these 5 sides of yourself. And this episode is really unique because it came from a YouTube question that we're going to read today. But before we get to the YouTube question, I want to introduce my co-pilot. As always, Mar in the island of the Azores, living her best life with vitamin D and the ocean that I just love so much. Mar, How's life treating you today? It's been treating me well, I would say. There are ups and downs all the time, but it's just how you approach it. And I really like the topic that we're going to discuss today because it's something that I've personally struggled with, especially lately. I've been trying to find a way how to express this part of I've been trying to deny it for some reason, maybe feeling a little bit ashamed that I believe in God and I come from a country that's not a country that would believe in God at all. So I feel a little bit of shame around that topic. So I'm trying to discover what is a way for me to express this part of me... [03:10] Why Is Your Spiritual Growth Seen As Crazy? Let's get into the question. Wow ~ I could relate to this and see resonance in both speakers. I was adopted by my maternal grandfather and his new wife when I was a year old. Deep taboos in the family and my birth. It wasn't until 2000, a tragic breaking away that led me on the path of self-discovery. 2009, Dark Night of the Soul ~ (experience of maternal womb) I had a Rebirth. I knew, there's a battle for our SOULS - past history lists all the historical events of evil (timeline leading back to 180 A.D.) I was on a mission to re-claim mine (SOUL). I realized this Wetiko - but called it, "Familial Hypnotic Trance" . . .. this global SPELL. I had BROKEN myself out of my ancestral SIN (blindness, missing the mark). It felt like I was part of a BALL OF COSMIC STAR LIGHT, that had exploded into a million shattered pieces and then, it (LIGHT) came back into a NEW. Everything follows the process of life, death, and rebirth, and WETIKO holds the poison and CURE. EVOLUTION= LOVE I tried to express this understanding to family but they thought I was talking Woo-woo, nonsense because SCIENCE can't explain our individual - phenomenal experiences. I am continually amazed by Synchronicity = soul timing. New Subscriber to your channel❤ 🙏 I can remember when I first started diving into plant medicine, 2016, 2017, I believe. My family thought I was crazy. And honestly, I thought it was crazy too. And I'm not here to start this conversation that people should run out and drink ayahuasca or do mushrooms at all. But anytime you want to change your results, you have to be willing to look at changing your behavior. Because if you keep doing the same thing in your life, you're just going to get the same result over and over and over again. You know, to quote Carl Jung, your faculty in your mind that Jung was talking about with this quote is really about the things that you cannot see the unconscious incompetence that you don't even know you don't know. And he said, Until you make the unconscious conscious, it'll rule your life and you'll call it fate. So all the things I just did an Instagram LIVE on this by the way more like right before we recorded this. So y'all go to Instagram because I did a deeper dive on this too. And it was all the things that we have been encoded or imprinted with, we believe those to be true and we don't even know why we believe it to be true, yet it continues to create for many of us challenging results, challenging relationships, challenging illness, and just challenges that we are creating because we're the author of our story, y'all. This is just a game and we're playing the game so once you get clear on whatever game you're playing and you hold true to that game there really isn't space for people judging you and thinking your spiritual path is crazy because it's just part of your game What am I really trying to get out here? What I'm getting at is many people's beliefs when religion or God or spirituality came from when we were together in hunter-gatherer tribes. We needed a way thousands and thousands of years ago to give a moral understanding of what God is. And so we put language to it, which is religion. And religion became its own construct, where it became really bastardized by the ego of man, where the church had to be a dealer between you and God. And I'm here to tell you, you do not need a church, you do not need plant medicine, you don't need anything to connect with God, except for your own willing heart. So I can relate to what he's saying here, Bijou, it may be a man or a woman, I don't know. I'm guessing it's a woman if it's Bijou, it's kind of sounds like a cool cat name, Bijou. So let's just say it's a woman. So what I hear from her is that she could see resonance and she brought up something really interesting because in the word evolution is the word love, which I absolutely connect with. And I've said this many times on the podcast and just in my own personal life too, in order for us to evolve we have to be to embody love and a lot of times embodying love means you're gonna piss some people off especially in your family a lot of the times what was taught to be loving in a family is actually not loving at all, right?... [17:55] Wetiko = Coldness of The Heart The Bible indirectly describes what Wetiko is. As a blindness of the mind correlated to the coldness of the heart. So when you have a coldness of the heart, when you have closed your heart to curiosity, when you've closed your heart to playfulness, when I have closed my heart to someone calling me crazy, then I have 0 curiosity about anything they're saying that could be true and I have no reference point for my individual truth or my journey actually being real because I have no reference point for someone else's point of view. When I have a coldness of the heart, when I've closed my heart to everyone else's verbiage or everyone else's opinion, I actually robbed myself of a spiritual growth moment. Now, it doesn't mean that you have to take what your family is saying as reality, right? You don't have to wear it. You don't have to let it hit your heart and go deep in there and start to create a belief. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that, look at what's happening on social media right now, where we have camps that are Democrats and Republicans, pro this, anti that, fight for this, defend against that. All it does is just create more war, more suffering, and more division. That's the opposite of evolution. But paradoxically, it has to occur this way because the only way that we know is through conflict. So what Paul is talking about, and what the Bible indirectly says, the blindness of the mind is correlated to the coldness of the heart, what that means is, and what the Bible is saying, if you can have a beginner's mind, and we talked about this on an upcoming episode with Paul Chek that we'll link in the show notes, it is a barn-buster episode. It is literally one of my favorite episodes about this topic, right? Paul was labeled as absolutely insane when he came out with Swiss ball training. People called him a weirdo, why would you train with a Swiss ball, and now Swiss balls are totally accepted. It's the same thing with his spirit gym and with all his teachings around God and modernity. So if we have a coldness of the heart, and I can think back in my life to even being a parent, I used to believe more, this is how crazy the coldness of my heart was. I used to believe that circumcision was not only normal, but it was healthy. I actually believe that. And it wasn't until getting informed by the feminine wisdom of Carrie Michelle, watching documentaries, seeing how it's a very barbaric Judaic practice that's 1 step away, Jung described, from child mutilation, child sacrifice. That's what, that's essentially what it is. I became aware that my beliefs were not only not of service, that they were truly unloving and they could have been, I mean, I'm so thankful that my beliefs didn't get transferred onto my son. Can you imagine if I would have allowed the tip of his penis to get cut off in the first day or year or week of his life? That would have been so traumatic for him, right? So traumatic. But I used to believe I was harbored by Wetiko that was taught to me by my parents who were taught society who is actually informed by a very demonic energy in the Judaic faith. And I'm not anti-Semitism, so don't label me that. Every religion has its darkness, right? Christianity, Islam, they all have darkness. But what I'm saying is that the coldness in my heart and the lack of open-mindedness to even hearing someone else's point of view could have caused my son pain. Could have caused my son pain. So this is a call to be emotionally regulated enough and to do the work of emotional regulation, to be open to what your family is saying to you when they say that you're crazy. Does it mean you're crazy? Maybe, maybe not. But it's up to you and your soul to decide what is gonna evolve here in the most loving way and are the that I'm making actually going to provide myself and my loved ones and the people I care about a good result? Because that's the game that we're playing...

[08:20] Ignorance Is Bliss Why people attract wounded people as their romantic partner. How being dissociated from our pain keeps us stuck.

How positive emotions can help in survival situations. [55:15] What Drives Your Power of Choice What we fear to experience from our trigger is created by responding to the trigger. How the antidote to defensiveness is acknowledging someone else's point of view. Why boundaries feed self-worth and vice versa. How meditation and a good diet can help us create more awareness.

How rituals and ceremonies are necessary for humans. [01:21:40] The Healing Process 609 Connor Beaton | Self-Discovery Through Shadow Work + How To Find The Perfect Partner Why we shouldn't glorify the healing work. As adults, we start to choose which parts of us we want to keep or remove. Why people are seeking help when they want to fix something about themselves. How some of our healing intentions feed the brokenness. Why most of us have coping strategies that come from our shadow. We need access to choice in order to change our lives. 538 John Wineland | A New Masculine Paradigm: Leading With Love, Living Your Truth + Healing The World Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show You Can't Change Your Past But You Can Change What It Meant For You "Anything that still feels sticky has wisdom to be gleaned from. Can you be with the reality that this did happen to you? And because you can't change it, can you actually change what it meant for you in your life? " - Mark Groves Dissociating From Pain "I was so disassociated from my pain and the way that I was trying to anesthetize the pain was through arousal and alcohol so that I didn't have to be in my body. If I was in my body, I had to hear: You're not great right now. You're not good emotionally. You're not acting in alignment with your integrity and your values. You're not learning the skills that you need to be a better partner, a better human." - Mark Groves Inflammatory People = Inflammation In The Body "If I'm at war with my own self-expression, of course there's inflammation in my body. I'm in relationship with inflammatory people.  I'm a high conflict person because I'm choosing to be in high conflict relationships. I am a match for them." - Mark Groves Links From Today's Show  Mark Groves 630 Mark Groves + Kylie McBeath | Liberated Love: Release Codependent Patterns + Create The Love You Desire 386 Mark Groves | Create More Love: How To Deal w/ Breakups, Boundaries, & Beyond 302 Mark Groves: Create The Love Finding Joe (2011) 311 Mark Wolynn | It Didn’t Start With You: Ending The Cycle of Inherited Trauma Dr. Stephen Porges The Luck Factor by Richard Wiseman The Secret (2016) 674 Daniele Kathryn Hage | Gender Equality vs. Gender Equity: How to Have a Lasting + Loving Relationship For Life Vitalogy be E.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 685 In this special episode, Josh Trent, the heart and mind of the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, steps up to the mic to deliver a heartfelt message about the journey to personal freedom, thriving in relationships, and answering the deepest call of your soul at Mark Groves' live event "Answering The Call" in Austin, Texas. Josh opens up about his own life — from navigating the highs and lows of fatherhood and love to the quest for emotional liberation. He shares his belief that relationships are the ultimate crucible for growth, teaching us the hard truths about ourselves. Whether you're in a partnership or on your own, the core lesson remains: we're all seeking freedom, but we’re only as free as the darkest secrets we keep. Using the Wellness Pentagon model — focusing on the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial aspects of wellness — Josh invites listeners to explore what it really takes to thrive. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about showing up, dropping the BS stories we tell ourselves, and having the courage to live our truth. Throughout the talk, Josh shares about the tools that have helped him along the way — breathwork, nervous system regulation, emotional resilience — and how these practices can help listeners break free from limiting beliefs and old patterns. This isn't surface-level wellness; it’s about deep, lasting freedom. If you're ready to stop living on autopilot, confront the stories holding you back, and answer your own call to a liberated life, then this episode is for you. 🧖‍♀️ Experience Red Light Therapy at Home Save 10% on your SaunaSpace order with the code "JOSH10" Unlike the traditional methods, near-infrared light works with your body’s biology to create radiant heat from the inside out.
