MICHELLE JORGENSEN, DDS: DENTISTRY FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH: EP. 266

v DR. MICHELLE JORGENSEN, DDS After a decade and a half of studying and practicing dentistry and medicine so that she could keep others well, Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, DDS’ own body was sick. As a young mom of four busy, growing children, she was stretched between a demanding business and a taxing home life. She had no energy and felt like she could barely keep her head above water. She couldn’t sleep through the night or hold her dental instruments without pain and numbness in her hands and arms. Her diet had been whittled down to a few “safe” foods that she could eat without stomach pain, and her once very sharp memory couldn’t remember crucial details about patients and procedures. Something was very wrong but a plethora of doctors, blood tests, scopes, and X-rays all told her it was stress.  There was one test the doctors didn’t run and she asked for at the suggestion from a new practitioner friend—mercury toxicity.  “When my test results came back, I was floored,” says Dr. Jorgensen. “My mercury levels were so high they were off the charts. Finally, I had an answer, and it was simple. The mercury in those seemingly innocent fillings that I had been removing from my patients’ teeth was poisoning me and my cells. After learning about my toxic mercury levels, I swung between disbelief and anger that, as a dentist, I hadn’t been warned about this inherent danger, and profound relief that I had an answer for what was causing my body’s systems to fail.” Her five-year path to recovery led Dr. Jorgensen to discover ways to improve her family’s and her own health in all facets of life. Now, her new book breaks down what “health” really means for every cell in your body. In Living Well with Dr. Michelle: A Comprehensive Handbook for Optimal Health and Unlimited Energy (BenBella, May 20th, 2025), Dr. Michelle makes it simple, breaking down the true meaning of health at the cellular level and beyond. Drawing from time-tested wisdom and evidence-based modern science, she provides a clear, practical path to lasting well-being.  Watch Dr. Michelle’s intro video here.  We talk about:             ●      How to Have the Energy You Want, Without Getting Lost in Today's Health Trends ●      The Secret to Lasting Energy: Your Cells ●      Fueling Your Body with What It Needs (Eating seasonally, prioritizing whole foods, staying hydrated, including health fats) ●      Creating a Healthy Environment for Your Cells (reduce toxins, manage stress, support you detox system, rest and recover) ●      Protecting Your Cells from Harm (boost your immune system, exercise, avoid overexposure from toxins, connect with nature) ●      Communicating with Your Cells (daily movement, deep breathing, rest, listen to your body’s signals) ●      Why medicine is just a band-aid—Your cells do the healing      ●      Why your symptoms are not the enemy—They are the answer  ●      If you can keep one cell well, you can keep them all well—Introducing the Cell Well Model ●      The Fluoride controversy and brain health ●      Mercury toxicity and hidden dangers in dentistry- Dr. Michelle’s personal journey  ●      Oxygen’s connection to inflammation and what your mouth is telling you about your health   www.livingwellwithdrmichelle.com

JASON BRETT SERLE: CRAZY WISDOM: EP. 264

JASON BRETT SERLE is a British writer, filmmaker, musician, Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) Master and licensed hypnotherapist with a particular focus on themes involving psychology, spirituality, wellness, and human potential.   He has written articles for Jain Spirit and Watkins magazines as well as interviewing people such as Eckhart Tolle, Robert Anton Wilson, Andrew Cohen, Jan Kersschot, and Amado Crowley. He is cited in Crowley's 2002 book Liber Alba: The Questions Most Often Asked of an Occult Master as being the only other person to have seen The Book of Desolation; a book purported to have been brought back from Cairo by his father, Aleister Crowley, in 1904.   In 2012 he wrote and produced his first documentary film, 'Mind Your Mind: A Primer for Psychological Independence' which looks at the psychological methods used to manipulate people and what they can do to protect themselves. He also composed and performed most of the soundtrack. The film is distributed by Journeyman Films in the UK and Film Media Group in the US, and it was an official selection for the London International Documentary Festival (LIDF) in 2012. We l\talk about:   1. What exactly is crazy wisdom, and what makes it a path worth exploring?   2. How does crazy wisdom differ from what you call in the book divine madness?   3. How does The Monkey in the Bodhi Tree challenge our conventional understanding of sanity?   4. Why is trans-rational thought—going beyond logic and reason—so often misunderstood?   5. What are some of the most striking historical examples of crazy-wisdom?   6. How can embracing crazy-wisdom lead to greater clarity and self-realization?   7. How has crazy-wisdom influenced art, literature, and culture throughout history?   8. Why do spiritual movements sometimes attract charlatans, and how can seekers distinguish authenticity from deception?   9. What inspired you to explore this topic, and what impact has it had on your own perspective?   10. If someone wants to begin exploring crazy-wisdom, what is the first step they should take?   11. Where can people read The Monkey in the Bodhi Tree? O books Presents The Monkey in the Bodhi Tree Crazy-Wisdom & the Way of the Wise-Fool by Jason Brett Serle Release date: March 1st 2025 Categories: Eastern, Mindfulness & meditation, Rituals & Practice CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE BOOK COVER   Unleash the radical, transformative power at the heart of the world's great wisdom traditions.   Of the many paths up the mountain, that of crazy-wisdom, although one of the lesser travelled, presents a dramatic and formidable climb to those that are so inclined. Now for the first time, the true spiritual landscape of the wise-fool has been laid bare and its features and principal landmarks revealed.   Written in two parts, loosely based on the theory and practice of crazy-wisdom, The Monkey in the Bodhi Tree is the first comprehensive look at this universal phenomenon, from its origins and development to the lives of its greatest adepts and luminaries.   In addition to the theoretical foundations laid down in Part I, Part II deals with its practice and aims to demonstrate crazy-wisdom in action. To this end, 151 teaching tales from around the world have been meticulously gathered and retold to illustrate the methods of the great masters and adepts - stories that not only give practical insight but also, like Zen koans, can be used as contemplative tools to illuminate and provoke epiphany.   From the enigmatic Mahasiddhas of ancient India to the eccentric Taoist poet-monks of China, from the uncompromising insights of the Buddhist Tantrikas to the unconventional wisdom of Sufi heretics and the utter surrender to God displayed by the Fools for Christ, this book will take you to a place where the boundaries of logic and reason dissolve and enlightenment awaits those daring enough to venture forth.   BOOK LINK: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/monkey-bodhi-tree-crazy-wisdom   JASON’S WEBSITE: www.fasonbrettserle.com

STEPHEN CHONG: TALES FROM THE AFTERLIFE: EP. 263

STEPHEN CHONG had a profound Spiritual Awakening Experience  in 2019 after he fell five metres off a ladder and fractured his neck. Stephen says, "This life experience is what I know and understand to be a ‘Pivot or Turning Point’ … where I had to choose what happens after. It was about three months into the rehabilitation when things became a little clearer." Stepen's. new book, The Afterlife; A Journey To: Now You Know What Will Happen, delves into his Near-Death Experience (NDE) talking about what Heaven was like, how he came to understand the rules of Heaven, and the incredible guides, events and scenarios which take place there. He also offers the following about "purgatory",,, "Upon death, we passage through a tunnel of light and the silver cord (which connects the eternal soul to the physical body) is severed, and unlike an NDE, we are unable to return. Entry into these ‘Mists’ or ‘Purgatory’ confirms our life’s journey through the law of ‘What you sow, so shall you reap’. It is a confrontation with the self. What you have done (or not done) and what you have ‘caused to effect’ in your fellow man. It is a ‘Life Review’ where every moment of life is flashed before you and you see what you have done to and for people. In this place, ‘The emperor wears no clothes’. Your status, position, title, etc. are null and void. It is what you have done to others that holds the key … we are all one in spirit … ‘Whatyou have done to another, you do to yourself’."
