Finding Genius Podcast

There is no question that we are living in unprecedented times with the ongoing public health crisis that is COVID-19. As we continue to deal with this pandemic, it seems that the stance on vaccination that governments and big pharma are taking is very black or white, leaving very little room for open discourse.  In this episode, we are joined by Dr. James Lyons-Weiler, who is the president and CEO of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge (IPAK), a nonprofit organization that conducts research in the interest of the public. Dr. Lyons-Weiler has a bachelor's degree in zoology, a doctoral degree in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology, and a postdoctoral degree in computational molecular biology. He has been a front-line researcher for the COVID-19 pandemic, and he shares his thoughts and findings regarding how the vaccine is affecting society.  Listen now to learn more about: The various degrees of COVID-19 vaccine injury, and why it’s not being discussed. The importance of early treatment of COVID-19, and why it’s not being provided. The efficacy of shutdowns in the effort to curb the spread of the disease.  Learn about this, and much more in this skeptical yet enlightening episode.  To research more on this subject, Dr. Lyons-Weiler recommends visiting Ipaknowledge.org, as well as his personal medical blog popularrationalism.substack.com. Additionally, for online courses regarding these matters, he recommends using the resources at ipak-edu.org. for a limited time, Finding Genius Podcast listeners can get up to $800 off MSRP on Echelon workout products.

Is the climate really in a crisis like so much of the media and pop culture would like us to believe? Based on the actual statistics and historical climate events, we may not be in as much trouble as we think. Listen up to learn: When the most severe hurricane took place The two main problems with traditional energy The possible benefits of CO2 A Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics, William Happer, shares his work as a climate specialist and a whistleblower on the climate "crisis." Despite the significant voices joining the call for change amidst a climate crisis, it may be a red herring for the real problems harming society. Even the warnings of increasingly severe fires and storm events may be overblown. While greenhouse gasses and fossil fuels are usually the factors blamed for climate change, they may promote certain beneficial factors. Even carbon dioxide can actually promote greening worldwide rather than promote harm like previously thought. Visit https://co2coalition.org for more educational resources.

Does climate change deserve the panic it has caused in recent years? Based on statistics, it may not warrant the reaction we have been affording it. Listen up to learn: When air pollution was really the worst How the green transition can truly succeed Why recent climate models may be fundamentally flawed Bjorn Lomborg, the author of False Alarm, shares his work researching the true impact of climate change and the cost of the panic caused in recent years. Climate change has long been touted as one of the most significant threats to the modern world. However, based on the statistics presented outside of the mainstream, the effects may not warrant the reaction the world has afforded it. While the effects of climate change are damaging in particular ways, the reality of the situation is that the situation may have been improving the entire time. Even if global agencies are influencing modern models, the data actually may show a gradual improvement, despite the reality of global warming. Visit https://www.lomborg.com to learn more.

Does Nihilism deserve the bad reputation it seems to carry? Well, according to Wendy Syfret, it may be the key to happiness so many seek. Press play to learn: The classic definition of Nihilism How Nihilism can lend a new perspective on life Why pointlessness may not be such a bad thing Wendy Syfret, the author of The Sunny Nihilist: A Declaration of the Pleasure of Pointlessness, shares her perspective on Nihilism and how it can play a role in cultivating happiness and peace in the mundanity of life. Many hear Nihilism and immediately connect it with apathy or pessimism. However, in reality, it offers solutions to some of the most significant emotional dilemmas humans face.  In the face of overwhelming importance placed on even the simplest of everyday tasks, relief can be hard to come by. If one becomes interested or overwhelmed, though, accepting the deeper understanding of insignificance may be the remedy.  Visit https://www.wendysyfret.com for more information.

What makes it so difficult for those suffering from endometriosis to find a proper diagnosis or relief? Unfortunately, due to misplaced research and lack of credence given to patients, the only practical and available treatments are difficult to obtain. Listen in to learn: The flaws in the retrograde menstruation theory Treatments for stabbing pelvic pain How patients can be better supported Sallie Sarrel, a pelvic physical therapist, speaks on her research and work surrounding pelvic pain and endometriosis. Those with endometriosis have struggled to find treatments or even a doctor who will listen to them for a large portion of recent history. Unfortunately, this is due to a lack of up-to-date knowledge, and a misplaced foundation of knowledge proliferated even in treatment as current as of the present. Even though effective treatment can be challenging to obtain, alternative options and remedies are available even in your own home. By optimizing the quality of life and experimenting with various physical therapies, relief may be more attainable than many patients may think. Visit https://salliesarrel.com for more resources.

How does cancer begin to spread throughout the body? Epithelial cells may be a significant culprit through cell metastasis and various mutations. Press play to learn: Why the body's features are consistently placed The impact of the liver's growth factors Possible breakthroughs in cancer research in the near future Engda Hagos, M.S., Ph.D., an Associate Professor of Biology at Colgate University, shares his work with cell metastasis and the possible causes and symptoms of metastatic cancer. Cell metastasis and its impact on cancer can be challenging to examine when attempting to find the origin and initial causes. However, through various mutations and gene structures, traits and actions can be triggered within cells which may not have initially been possible. The commonly accepted causes of cancer remain largely at fault for many mutations. However, attempting to understand the true nature of cancer will be the endeavor that may bring novel advances in cancer research.

Can world religions possibly share more similarities than we may have thought? The similarities may surprise us if we look back at ancient religions and trace them through history. Listen up to learn: Why comparing religions can be dangerous  What inspired the formation of religious texts How religious study can impact students Yair Lior, Ph.D. of religious studies in the department of religion at Boston University, shares his research and study in comparative religion and its science.  While many of the major world religions today may appear vastly different at first glance, they may share ancient similarities branching from distant commonalities. Especially when considering beliefs in the distant past before modern religious ideas, we can begin to uncover the similarities which branch from unexpected practices. If we begin to separate ourselves from where we base our religious beliefs, we can adopt an analytical mindset when studying the world of religion. Moreover, by introducing exploration and education into current beliefs, it may even strengthen the beliefs we currently hold, allowing us to explore deeper than we previously believed.

Tune in to learn about her incredible journey and discover: The connection between stress and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) What Transcendental Meditation® is and how it affected Cohen almost immediately How our vibrational frequencies reflect and translate to our emotional states and health “I quit because my body was quitting for me,” says Cohen. From 70-hour workweeks in Hollywood doing story and script development to hardly able to walk from her bedroom to the bathroom: It was a relatively sudden and drastic change for Cohen that would completely alter the trajectory of her life and career. She explains her journey in detail, sharing how she came to learn so much about her and other people’s emotions, and ultimately heal herself—her body and her mind. For so long, her body had been communicating to her, but she wasn’t listening. Not because she didn’t want to, but because she didn’t know she needed to, or even how to. Cohen now spends her time helping others heal—both physically and mentally—by tuning into and listening to their bodies. She explains her process, and how she works with people both in person and virtually. Press play to hear the full conversation and visit https://quantummindshift.com/ to learn more.
