The Elevated Life

Ever struggle with weight loss? We have too. When Chris and I first met over 14 years ago, one of the first conversations we had was about how we both felt overweight and needed help to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Together we embarked on a journey to a healthy, plant-based lifestyle, and have lost a combined 175 pounds.

Have you ever unmasked a hidden truth about yourself or the world? When you realize that your perception of the world has been influenced by outside authority figures or societal constructs, it will change you forever.

In this episode of The Elevated Life®, we’re sharing how our experience with mushrooms inspired us to make radical changes in our life, so that we could shine our light and live more authentically.  Tune in to hear: How we felt about drugs before our experience with mushrooms The 3 things Chris knew he needed to change after that night How mushrooms showed us the transformative power of love The importance of valuing your own inner voice rather than outside authorities.
