Wim explains that we are built to be connected with our stress mechanisms at will to defy any kind of stress. If we don’t go into the stress mechanisms of our brain in the way that nature intended, we leave them unstimulated.

Wim has a lot of wisdom to share, so be sure to stay tuned today to learn about his unique method for coping with stress naturally. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT: How we are built to connect with our stress mechanisms at will, to be able to defy any stress. How the cold quickly connects us with our adaptive powers, thermogenesis, and the deeper parts of our brain. Connecting with the deeper parts of the brain through the power of your intention. Why you need to work hard and change your mindset to gain control of your deeper biological processes. How breathing techniques, meditation, and cold therapy can stimulate your immune system, change your biochemistry, and heal you. How to get high on your own supply.

Stay tuned to find out more!The Story Behind the Micro Daily EMF ProductDr. Prasad has formulated a micronutrient product that has a rich history of science behind it. In 2001, he was approached by the US Department of Defence while they were getting ready for the Afghan war. The US military was collaborating with the Russian Federation at the time because of their experiences in Afghanistan. The Russians had had positive experiences with antioxidants with their troops in Afghanistan. Those troops were healing and performing better than troops without antioxidants, so the US military also wanted to have a supplement for the US soldiers. They picked Dr. Prasad as their expert, and in 2001, they began an almost six-year process with Dr. Prasad conducting fourteen clinical studies to validate the foundational formula that is in the patent-pending Micro Daily EMF product. The product is safe to use, and none of the ingredients in it interact adversely with either prescription or non-prescription drugs.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT: What EMF radiation is and why we need to be concerned about it. Credible research that indicates that 5G EMF radiation causes cellular damage and is a threat to our health. The impact of EMF on the developing brain. Using micronutrition as an effective defense against 5G EMF radiation damage. Dr. Prasad developed a supplement that has all the necessary micronutrients that are critical for the health of our bodies.  Why Dr. Prasad recommends taking a micronutrient supplement twice, rather than once a day. Why Dr. Prasad does not add any iron, copper, or manganese to his micronutrient preparation. Some simple changes you can make that will reduce your exposure to radiation from the EMF devices in your home. Our bodies are designed to deal with threats from our environment if we give them the proper nutrition at the foundational, cellular level.
