Troy Casey: Beyond Biohacking #49
https://troycasey.com/ Our guest, Troy Casey, has become one of the world’s leading longevity authorities and the “Certified Health Nut.” He’s worked with indigenous tribes in the Amazon as a medicine hunter, studied the ancient Vipassana Meditation technique Ashtanga Yoga, and worked closely with Paul Chek at the world-famous C.H.E.K. Institute. He has since successfully restored physical, mental, and emotional balance to clients who have failed with all other systems using a unique, simple, and nature-informed holistic approach that anyone can follow. And, honestly, if you want some indication that this system works, look at some pictures of Troy – it’s nuts that this guy is in his 50s. Today, Troy’s work goes a step beyond biohacking your own body and mind. He has a grand vision for co-creating a world with clean air, water, soil, and equitable systems for all mankind in his lifetime – something he believes is absolutely attainable. To complete the mission, though, we need two things: a complete systems change that values creativity over competition, in every area of life (energy, agriculture, commerce, media, government, etc.), and a collective rising of consciousness to support the new systems.So, are you ready to rise up and join Troy in his campaign to improve the world? If you aren’t now, I think you will be after hearing him talk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Revealing the truth about the artificial chemicals in many toothpastes and mouthwashes, Artemis also discusses the harmful effects of mercury fillings and the much safer ceramic filling options that are available. Covering topics that include healthy nutrition, oral care for children, and the benefits of botanical substances and plant extracts for maintaining oral health, Artemis introduces a comprehensive eight-step self-dentistry protocol that offers an effective way to prevent decay, illness, acidic saliva, plaque build-up, gum bleeding, inflammation, and more.Check out Nadine's new book RENEGADE BEAUTY (https://www.amazon.ca/Renegade-Beauty-Radiance-Beauty-Solutions-Preparations/dp/1583949690) Hosted on Acast.
