This summer I was grateful to return to the jungle to experience the 2nd Annual Mind, Body & Soul Retreat at Usha Village in Honduras. Usha Village was built from scratch by the infamous herbalist Dr Sebi, who preached the foundation of all health is dictated by what substances you ingest daily. It has been proven that with Sebi's recipe of herbs, an alkaline diet and discipline, anyone can make a disease-free life their reality. This year I knew more of what to expect and was eager to complete my twice a day regimen of bitters, herbs, sauna, thermal water and of course, good eatin'. This trip we incorporated meditation, massages, bachata, and get an intense lesson on each mineral and its purpose. I came back not just with the smooth skin of a dolphin, but on a mission to keep my overall vessel clean so I can continue to be the healing vessel for others. Although sometimes life seems grim, the opportunities to educate and elevate are always available to you.

Jude Anthony Angelini, also known as 'Rude Jude', is a radio host, television personality and best selling author who has hosted Shade 45s 'The All Out Show' on SiriusXM since the early 2000's. Jude's truthful conversations and wild antics have shocked and awed millions of listeners for the past 20 years, making him one of the most unapologetic icons to date. His first break into entertainment was getting cast on the 'The Jenny Jones Show' in the 90s, after his cynical humor became a necessary edition to the reality program. Soon after, Jude got his first radio gig that sent him to LA, NY & back to his hometown of Detroit, MI. Though he only journaled as a child, Jude realized he needed to find another form of income since his industry is more about who you know, rather than how you can add value to your company. 'Hyena', 'Hummingbird' & his newest 2022 publication, 'Fin', carry you through a dark and light trilogy, mentally and physically, of what Jude experienced from childhood up until the present day in his 40s. His fresh perspectives on sex, drugs, and life will keep your eyes glued to these tell-all autobiographies until you subsequently ask yourself "What Would Jude Do?". You can find all 3 books available for purchase on Amazon and tune in to the 'All Out Show' Weekdays 4-7pm ET/1-4pm PT on Sirius XM radio. https://www.instagram.com/onemorejude/

Living with obesity and asthma, Dr Sebi had decided to educate and heal himself of his own ailments by use of available plants in his village in Honduras.

While balancing high school and basketball, Bowman was learning how to change peoples lives drastically, starting with healing his best friend of herpes at 17.

Mohave Mushrooms is a medicinal mushroom company based out of Las Vegas, focused on bringing the eclectic science and traditional use of mushrooms to mainstream American culture. Although mushrooms have been used culturally for centuries, modern science is only now brushing the surface of what our ancestors already knew - that mushrooms are deep reservoirs for powerful medicines and an integral part of human evolution, both physically and spiritually. Mohave Mushrooms started with two partners Jordan and Wrara, growing gourmet mushrooms on a small scale and selling them at local markets. They have since streamlined the business to focus on creating medicinal mushroom tinctures, supplements, and jerky, made from homegrown mushrooms, then eventually sourcing from the best growers in the nation. These supplements are made from 100% mushroom fruiting body, meaning there is no filler in the powders or tinctures. The average healthy consumer experiences better sleep, sharper cognitive function and increased memory, while people with serious health issues like lupus and fibromyalgia experience huge differences in their health, quelling seizures and digestive issues. When Jordan isn't spreading mushroom awareness, he is working on music production, martial arts and aerialist performances. https://www.instagram.com/mohavemushrooms/ https://www.fadedtruth.com/
