After a 4-year battle with cancer, she fell into a coma and was given days to live. As her doctors gathered to revive her, she journeyed into a near-death experience (NDE) where she was given the choice to return to her physical form or to continue into this new realm. She chose the former, and when she regained consciousness, her cancer began to heal. To the amazement of her doctors, she was free of countless tumors and cancer indicators within weeks. Her book Dying To Be Me has sold over two million copies worldwide, in over 45 languages. It has been named a Contemporary Classic and a Foreign Language Phenomena by her publishers. Her latest book Sensitive is the New Strong has started a global movement around the theme of embracing sensitivity as our super-power, promoting empath leadership. She considers herself a contemporary activist for peace and love, and currently travels the world speaking her truth with grace and humor to sold-out audiences who are ready to embrace change and learn about the power of healing that is available to them from within.

It's that time of the year. The end of 2022, and time for my Solo Episode. I couldn’t think of what I wanted to do this year for the Solo Episode. Last year I did a 2021 Health Update, and I did “Top 20 Lessons" in 2020. There has always been something that felt top of mind for me. This year I just didn’t have that thing, that “this is what I want to talk about” thing. So it hit me, literally yesterday. That I should ask you guys what you want to know about me. So the 2022 - Solo Episode is an AMA - Q&A style Solo Episode, with an opening Health Update. I am answering some Pretty Intense questions. We hope you enjoy the show.

Dr Joe’s passion can be found at the intersection of the latest findings from the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to explore the science behind spontaneous remissions. He uses that knowledge to teach people how to heal their bodies of health conditions, make significant changes in their lives, and evolve their consciousness. Since 2010, he has partnered with scientists and universities to perform extensive research on the effects that meditation has on the brain and body. During his advanced retreats around the world, his team has gathered more than 18,000 brain scans (quantitative QEEG) and 10,000 heart-rate variability measurements (HRV) in an attempt to correlate the effects that sustained elevated emotions and self-regulation have on heart and brain function, immune response, and overall mind-body health. He and his team have also studied gene expression, protein regulation, immune response, neurotransmitter changes, telomere length, and variations in bioactive cellular metabolic particles in both novice and advanced meditators. As a New York Times best-selling author, researcher, lecturer, and corporate consultant, Dr Joe’s research has led him to develop a practical formula to help people transform their lives.
