The Superhumanize Podcast

Our body is host to billions of microorganisms, and especially the ones IN our gut microbiome have an effect on all aspects of our health. As far as supplements to optimize our health go, taking a high quality probiotic may be one of the most important ways to support our all over wellbeing.Today’s guest Tina Anderson is the co-founder of Just Thrive, a supplement company specializing in spore-based probiotics. From a career in the pharmaceutical industry that left Tina and her husband deeply disappointed with the over prescription of drugs and the lack of preventative treatments, the couple decided to look into a different, more natural way to help people. And they dove in head first, spending their life savings on acquiring the exclusive rights to a groundbreaking probiotic strain developed by London University and then building a company from scratch.Today we are going to discuss all things probiotics: how to distinguish the good probiotics from the many suboptimal probiotic products on the market, what the best probiotics are and also how spore-based probiotics differ from the rest.

We live in a time where old paradigms are disintegrating and where it is profoundly important to heal what needs to be healed in ourselves and call forth our inner leaders. It is paramount that we look inside, instead of looking outside for the "one man who fixes it all", or the "one hero that saves the world". It is the heroine or hero within all of us that can begin the shift inside and then extend it to our planetary community. It is a time to heal and step into our full power and help others rise into their full potential, too. How do we connect with and nurture our inner leader and how can we help others become the best leaders they can be?Our guest Jennifer K Hill has some profound insights on this. Jen is an Evolutionary Leader, conscious entrepreneur, author, speaker and TV host. She has hosted popular shows with leading minds such as Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Rollin McCraty, Dr. Dain Heer, and many other global luminaries. After selling her first company in 2018, she recently co-founded a new company in the wellness space, Om Heals, a platform that custom matches you with energy medicine practitioners from around the world who best suit your needs based on a proprietary, matchmaking algorithm.Jen is also the author of 101 Spiritual Tools For Uncertain Times.

"As above, so below."This paraphrase of the second verse of the Emerald Tablet describes the idea that what happens in a higher realm or plane of existence also happens in a lower realm. Since the dawn of time, humankind has looked to the higher realms of the stars for guidance, whether for navigation of our oceans and planet, or via astrology for the navigation of our destinies.Astrology dates back to the 2nd millennium BC, when the Babylonians developed the first organised system of interpretation of the celestial bodies and their influence on human affairs. Until the 17th century, astrology was actually considered a scholarly tradition. Famous people of science and scholars such Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton and Carl Gustav Jung used astrology to guide their lives and work. Do the answers lie in the stars? Today we are welcoming a man on the show who says, yes, they do.Gahl Sasson is an expert astrologer, storyteller, and teacher. He is a guest lecturer at USC, Tel Aviv University and teaches at Esalen, Omega Institute, University of Judaism and the Open Center in NYC. With deep roots in the ancient art of Kabbalah, astrology, and psychology, Gahl helps his students and clients interpret their past and design their future in illuminating and life-changing ways. Gahl is a bestselling author and his first book, A Wish Can Change Your Life, has been translated into over eight languages and is endorsed by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. His second work, Cosmic Navigator, has been called the essential reference guide to understanding our astrological makeup. Since 2018 Gahl has been publishing a yearly bestselling book on the astrology of the upcoming year. In this episode we will talk about the history of astrology, the application of it to our lives, as well as the power our names hold. And last but certainly not least, Gahl will share with us his predictions and book for 2023, which has the title Traversing the Bridge - Movement of the People.In this episode with Gahl Sasson, you'll discover:-Founding origins of astrology and why Gahl believes it is the key to a better life…03:46-The role of the ancient Sumerians, Babylonians and Greeks in promulgating the practice of astrology…10:09-Gahl’s journey into the realm of mastery of astrology…12:30-Gahl’s thoughts on the upcoming “astrological traffic jam” of 2023 and beyond…21:10-Gahl does an on the spot astrological prediction on Ariane… 28:45-Gahl’s take on time, past lives, etc…33:00-The importance of our names, why we choose our names before we’re even born, and why they are fundamentally important to our life’s story… 39:46-About the “shadow element” of our name…47:10-Gahl’s best personal practice…49:38-And much more…Resources mentioned:Cosmic Navigator websiteTraversing the Bridge - Movement of the PeopleA Wish Can Change Your LifeCosmic NavigatorGuest's social handles:FacebookInstagramYouTube

We spend about one third of our lives sleeping. For many of us, me included, sleep is one of life's greatest pleasures. For others, falling and staying asleep and sleeping well is a constant battle. But what is sleep exactly, and why must we do it every night? Answering these questions are some of the biggest and most fascinating challenges biologists face today.We do know that sleep is as essential to our life and wellbeing as food and water. Sleep is the time when our body repairs itself. Sleep, or the lack of it, affects every aspect of our lives, from immunity, to hormones, to our mood and cognitive function. A lack of sleep makes us vulnerable to many chronic medical issues and affects us not only as individuals, but as a society, considering the impact of car accidents or disasters such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Knowing about sleep and how to optimize it could literally save your life or that of someone you love.My guest today is an authority on the neurobiology of sleep and circadian rhythms. Dr. Craig Heller is an award winning professor of biology and researcher at Stanford University and has been studying why we sleep and the ways that sleep can support physical performance. Dr. Heller will share with us his hypothesis about the purpose of sleep, some of his key insights about how the clock in our brain works and how to harness the power of sleep.In this episode with Dr. Heller, you'll discover:-The mystery of sleep, and why we need it so much…03:30-An overview of the relatively new study of sleep…05:45-Sleep is essential for “memory consolidation”…08:01-The body is offline, but the brain is quite active during REM sleep…09:30-Circadian rhythms, and how to optimize our internal clock…11:20-How to right the ship when your circadian rhythms get off kilter…14:45-How sleep affects cognitive function and the efficacy of the immune system…18:00-Why even blind people must be attuned to the effects of light on their circadian rhythms…22:00-Technology and therapies available to assist in quality of sleep…27:00-Primary vs secondary insomnias…31:30-The sleep pattern changes which occur throughout our lives…36:00-What can be done about PTSD and “night terrors”… 44:30-Does long haul Covid affect sleep patterns?…51:00-Healthy sleep hygiene practices…54:05-Can we enhance lucid dreaming to enhance creativity and productivity?…59:00-Dr. Heller’s best personal practices…1:04:05-And much more!Resources mentioned:Dr. Heller's Stanford University bioDr. Heller's Stanford University profileSecrets of Sleep Science: From Dreams to Disorders

Hello beautiful Superhumans. I am so happy you decided to tune in with me again. Those of you who have been listening to this podcast for a while know, this is a place where we talk about growth and transitions and exploring how humanity can become humanity 2.0 and how we can fulfill our highest potential in every aspect, mentally, physically and spiritually. I have always felt that love is at the core of what drives humanity. As I perceive it, everything is about love, the presence, or the absence of it. Romantic relationships are built on the foundation of love. When we look at the current discussion about defining what a relationship is, what is apparent to me is that there are so many ways to celebrate and live love and that the so-called traditional model of relationship does not work for a significant percentage of the population. When we look at divorce rates and the high numbers of individuals who live a lifestyle of serial monogamy, which not always, but likely often is an indicator of the heteronormative model not working for someone and when 49% of Millenials either have experienced or say they want to experience a non-monogamous relationship, it tells me that we need to look at the way we understand love.Are what we call traditional relationships truly traditional when we look at the history of humanity? What is the secret sauce for happy, healthy relationships?Today's guest, Effy Blue, has answers to these questions. Effy is a relationship coach and founder of Curious Fox, a community that inspires individuals to challenge the status quo in love, sex and relationships and the one-size-fits-all prescription society so far has offered us. Effy encourages and teaches us to seek and find our own expression of loving and relating, whether our love is monogamous, polyamorous, hetero, queer, asexual or whether we choose to put a label on it at all.In this episode with Effy Blue, you'll discover:-The current trends regarding monogamous relationships among the younger generations...03:30-"Traditional" relationships are a relatively new concept...06:31-Effy's process of self-discovery pertaining to infidelity and authentic relationships...11:11-Embrace your true identity by expanding your circle of influence regarding relationships...15:40-Different forms of non-monogamy...21:00-First steps to consider when you're ready to explore differing forms of relationships...26:20-Why is there such fear of the concept of "free love"?...30:00-What are the benefits of having multiple partners?...35:17-"Emotional literacy" defined...38:26-How to make time for multiple partners, not to mention yourself!...42:05-Effy's thoughts on the future of relationships...48:22-Effy's best personal practices...50:00-And much more!Resources mentioned:https://effyblue.comhttps://www.wearecuriousfoxes.comWe Are Curious Foxes podcast Guest's social handles:FacebookInstagram
