Philosophy of Next Level Human - Ep. 135
Send us a textThe foundational concept of a Next Level Human can only be understood if these other two concepts are understood as well: Base Level Human and Culture Level Human. The Base Level is always directing his attention to his own desires and the Culture Level maintains his own desires with the acceptance of others, but the Next Level will find his desire only when he finds his purpose. That’s the difference between an individual who, despite adversities, makes an effort to be: true, honest, and selfless. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade takes you through a read of his upcoming book, focusing on the philosophy section where the main idea navigates around what it means to be a Next Level Human. What makes human beings special? What path are human beings meant to choose? How can we go from nothing to something throughout our existence? These are all questions highlighted in this episode and in the text too. Tune in to learn more! Check out the Next Level Human sponsors!

Weight Loss Lies with Robert Davis, PhD - Ep. 134
Send us a textDiet philosophies have become very polarizing in recent years. For instance: veganism and vegetarianism, the paleo diet, intermittent fasting, and counting calories are all eating plans that diverge on what is the best option when it comes to weight loss. While there are true concepts on all of them, there are a lot of myths on them as well. The best approach would be: think beyond diets and see what works for you. Tune in to this episode of the Next Level Human podcast as Dr. Jade talks with Robert J. Davis, PhD; the author of “Supersized Lies,” which revolves around diet philosophies and why people can’t seem to lose weight even with so many popular diets popping up in the industry. Robert advises on a variety of topics such as macronutrient consumption, processed foods, quality and quantity of food, and why demonizing certain groups of foods is not the solution.

On Convenience Eating - Ep. 133
Send us a textHow can convenience foods be part of a sustainable diet? It is well-known that healthy foods are not a simple option for everyone; either they tend to be more expensive or not as practical. For instance, when grocery shopping the healthy sources of clean proteins and carbohydrates are not the average individual's first choice. On the other hand, convenience foods are extremely easy to find, almost always affordable for everyone, and an undemanding solution for busy days. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade shares a complete guide on convenience based eating. From a health perspective, he explains that by following a few reasonable and realistic rules it is possible to have a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle even if you incorporate convenience foods and fast foods here and there.

Confident Detachment with Emily Gough – Ep. 132
Send us a textJoin Dr. Jade Teta and Emily Gough in this episode of the Next Level Human podcast as they talk about confident detachment and the idea of controlling only what is in our power to control. The concept of confident detachment involves being aware that how you organically show up in a relationship can be different from how other people show up, and managing your expectations about it to not be frustrated is the first step to preserve yourself and your emotions. Emily, who is a Coach, Speaker, and Host of the Room to Grow™ podcast, also talks about the distinction between a person, who is romantically involved with someone, having needs (in the sense of wants and desires) and being needy (being overly connected and not functioning alone). In addition, you will learn that we are all multidimensional beings living multidimensional lives so it’s important to eliminate expectations coming from other people because what they do and how they behave is a sole responsibility.

On Connection with Dr. Edward Brodkin - Ep. 130
Send us a textHow does human connection relate to being a next level human? Nowadays, our connections with other human beings are the foundation to achieving our next level self. What most people don’t know is that taking care of ourselves first is the initial step to creating meaningful relationships, connecting with other individuals, and truly nurturing those relationships by giving them the attention they deserve. In this episode of the Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade interviews Dr. Edward Brodkin, co-author of Missing Each Other to talk about how important it is to clear our heads and be aware of our thoughts in order to focus on what the moment calls for. Anxiety and overwhelming feelings really prevent us from connecting with other people because we get so stuck in our own heads that we are unable to create identification. Dr. Edward also touches on topics like meditations, empathy, politics, and setting boundaries for ourselves. Tune in to learn more! Check out the Next Level Human sponsors!

Nutritional Keystones - Ep. 129
Send us a textHow do we structure a healthy lifestyle that is easy to attain? What are the 3 things you can focus on TODAY in order to create this healthy lifestyle? Sometimes we pay too much attention to things that don’t really matter. When it comes to nutrition and fitness, it is way easier to focus on a few variables that make a huge difference than to focus on a lot of things that create little change. In this episode of the Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade discusses the importance of having ‘keystones’ (aka: ‘big rocks’) to create effective changes in your nutrition and overall lifestyle. Building out your list of the 3 things to check on a daily basis is enough to achieve results – whatever the results might be for you. As Dr. Jade points out: the key to achieving a goal is not doing more of everything, it’s doing more of what you need to do the most. Tune in! Check out the Next Level Human sponsors!

The Four Existential Crises – Ep. 128
Send us a textDealing with life events and other human beings along the way really makes us face four critical concerns: freedom, loneliness, meaninglessness, and death. In a way, freedom can be a primal cause for anxiety; loneliness is the natural state in which everyone is born with; meaninglessness is what every individual wants to – or should – avoid by living a purposeful life, and death is the ultimate event that makes us want to leave a legacy. In this episode of the Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade analyzes these four existential crises, how each one of them influences our actions, and how they would eventually modify our existence – for better or for worse – if we take the time to consider and think about each one of them. Managing these crises is a skill that must be strengthened with time, but it’s one more step towards becoming a next level human. Check out the Next Level Human sponsors!

On Metaphysics and Magic with Candy Irven - Ep. 126
Send us a textWe, as humans, are energetic beings: we can feel other people’s energy, we can sense energy emanating from certain environments, we can step into a different type of energy if we feel the need to, and we can manifest all kinds of energies for our life – even without realizing it. We are also receivers of the universe’s energy and it’s our job to learn how to interpret it, convert it into our own inner guide, and fully take advantage of this unseen power. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade sits down with Candy Irven of itsyouguru.com.com, Intuitive Coach, to give you a complete discussion about metaphysics, magic, and all the tools connected to these topics such as astrology, numerology, and cardology. Candy talks about the power of the universe, or higher self, and how it is always trying to talk to you and handle your hidden messages. Candy also explains everything about her work as a coach and how you can start applying these lessons to your learning and self-development journey. Check out the Next Level Human sponsors!
