This show is about personal empowerment. Forager Health Podcast explores why we are meant to seek opportunities for depth, meaning, variety, and joy within the Human Experience as we explore our relationships with ourselves, each other, and with the Earth
Today's episode takes a holistic deep dive into why change feels dangerous. Across all human cultures over many millennia, some risk has always been inherent in the venture of change. Change in one's social circumstances, environment, societal norms, and the shifting of seasons have always brought with them a certain threat of uncertainty. But today, hundreds of thousands of years after the programmed responses to risk began to form in the human mind, the consequences of change are altogether less dire than they ever have been, while the threat feels larger than ever. We explore what this means for humans living in modern times, why it is important to strive to override and outgrow our responses as they perceived and provoked by the primitive centers of the mind, the psychospiritual implications of change, how our associations with risk developed in ancient times, how the loss of healthy culture contributes to our inability to respond appropriately to risk, and much, much more.
Health by natural action is really about radical self honesty, and the steps we take after making the choice to live with purpose under the predisposition of courage and hope. It is easy to get stuck once we decide we want to grow, we want to achieve something in life, we want to do something meaningful with our time. This is because we look outward for what direction to take, often latching onto opinions of others as our newfound identities, unknowingly falling for the same sense of security based on false reality that we set off to escape. In this episode, we discuss how to overcome these cycles, and arrive at a place of true Self-Knowing beyond the belief we are meant for something more. Today's show also covers :How the nature of our relationships with self, other, our environment, is predisposed to be largely symbiotic and universally beneficial for the planetHow the conditions that shift us away from harmony with Self is often ever present and unfolds from our time of birthWhat a fear state, scarcity mindset, and the wounded Self areHow to begin living in a state of courage, hope, and positivityWhy belief is tied to doubt, and is not needed when we foster awarenessHow crisis comes into our lives to drive us toward change in the absence of a dreamHow to eliminate crisis cycles in your lifeHow Radical Self Honesty is what brings us from a state of fear into alignment with natural actionHow being honest with our chosen actions removes interference and dis-ease, allowing health to occurHow to avoid common pitfalls in the journey of self actualization by not becoming your opinionsHow information overload and disconnection from wisdom traditions has caused large amounts of distress in the human designHow we know what is best for us in every moment even when we do not know we doHow we can bring unconscious knowing of our greatest good into our present awarenessand more!!!!
This episode is sometimes every bit as vulgar, jarring, and controversial as it is beautiful, enlightening, and invigorating for the most part. What is life without some hardcore self reflection every now and then anyways right?In today's very special comeback episode of FHP:Where I've been mentally and emotionally, and what evolutions I have been through these past 6 monthsHow frustration and self imposed pressure can creep up on us and what to do once we find ourselves thereBalancing surrender and action in the face of perceived adversityThe practice of waiting for answers to come to usWhen is it okay to be uncomfortable vs always fighting for or fleeing toward comfortTaking full authority over your actions in times of struggle Why manifestation is a false god and you shouldn't wait to be saved Lots more on radical self honestyOur outlook on where the show goes from here

This week we round up our deep dive into the teachings of Bruce Lee. Our conversation flows through many thought provoking concepts including learning to die, discovering the true nature of our Selves, dissolving our codependency with the Ego as armor against the world's expectations, and how to build a healthy self-relationship. One thing readily apparent through all of Bruce's writings is how interwoven and well versed his thoughts were as a fluid philosophical system. All ideologies he displays tend to compliment and strengthen each other as you guide yourself through them, as any philosophy on living life well should. One theme that comes into focus in today's look at some of Bruce's thoughts is this idea of common roots to all the self imposed boundaries we face as humans that keep us from the level of introspection and accountability required to break the rhythm of our lives often enough to achieve lives that are lived vibrantly, fully, and in a state of ready awareness. I would like to think that by looking within as deeply, frequently, and honestly as Bruce did, he not only achieved a lifestyle closer that ever-distant image of full self-actualization than most ever have or ever will, but that he also left behind a beautiful blue print on how we can do the same. Not by following his rhythm, his actions, his patterns, his thoughts, but by allowing his teachings to lead us by example as we look within ourselves, and find our own ways to break the rhythms keeping us from being Someone Real.

I have idolized Bruce Lee since I was a young child. I would watch his 4 movies countless times growing up. Before I became old enough to put a finger on what was so different about him, I knew there was an extra special something about the man who still to this day has the power to captivate people by name and image alone. Many years later, my fascination only goes stronger, and the lessons this timeless international icon continues to provide are only becoming more profound, and more necessary. Join me in this fun loving episode as I break down the major #brucelee moments in my life and reflect on some of the biggest teachings I have been blessed with through the influence his daughter @shannonlee and the Bruce Lee Podcast.

This week's episode is about how to navigate your responses to adversity the next time you feel the weight of your own expectations on your shoulders. We are just over the summer solstice at the time of this Airing - the thunderous rush of Spring and early summer has come and gone, if you are success-oriented or a seeker of expansion, a devotee to the evolution of your timeline… Than this past season has likely contained a fair deal of effort on your part to expand and evolve the nature of your offerings and services - your Self care, your relating with others, your professional standings - all of it wants to grow with the seasons And if you are like me, you may find year to year that sometimes, you can look back at the first half of the year and be really proud of what has changed, and other times, it feels like the circumference of your energy field rebounds almost completely in response to each of your attempts to be a bigger version of yourself. Maybe you have a mix of both going on right now depending on the nature of your focus or what your measures of personal success are. Either way, I am sure we have all experienced those moments we perceive the needle isn't budging despite our best efforts. Join us in this conversation as I offer some the best ways I currently deal with stress and get back into Flow when I find myself in a funk of my own design.

Above all else, Kevion is just a beautiful human. It isn't too long before we are taken into a deep Flow State discussing the nature of our own healing journeys, our ritualistic lifestyles, the nature of struggle and lessons discerned from within our relationships, the importance of stillness and introspection, and what human relating might have looked like in times of prehistory when the divine duality within each of us was more freely expressed than it is today. And thats just like the first half hour!! We also dive into: Lessons from our elders and contentment in a simple life well lived The romanticizing of trauma work and distortion of life through the experience of screening technology The depth of connection and access to Wisdom we can achieve in ritualistic interaction with nature The value of teaching our children what real food looks like and where it comes from Kevion's experience of getting to bring his light and ecological wisdom to suburban grade school classrooms where he teaches an interactive program on Agricultural Science and Technology.

What does it feel like to achieve a state of non-reactive neutrality in Service of another? The act of holding space for the sake of a human in need happens all too rarely in today's cultural landscape. Standing guard as the non-reactive neutral Source of council, comfort, and compassion used to be commonplace. It is critical for us as humans to able to create containers where people we care about feel safe to fully and honestly express themselves without fear of judgement, dismissal, abandonment, or worse - be met with trauma-dominant reactions of another when they themselves are bearing their hearts in hopes of healing. This week, we discuss building the capacity and the skill in your own integrity and knowingness of Self - The relationship you have with your Identity as it is built through our journeys of personal liberation from our own pains - to be able to truly BE THERE 100% for someone when they come to you in need. Join us and learn what it feels like to transcend yourself in order to Give from a place of selfless compassion.
@ArtemisAscendant joins us for this week's show!! Christa Whiteman is an adult-onset hunter, conservationist, practicing chiropractor, and clinical herbalist who shares her passion for the wild foods lifestyle she has so lovingly dedicated her life to with all manner of newcomers to the outdoors through social media, and through multiple educational outdoors organizations and mentoring opportunities. I hope you leave after listening to todays episode with a deeper sense of belonging and feeling of being welcome in whatever outdoor pursuits you have a mind to start engaging in, and how life can be enriched when its shaped by the seasons and influenced by the landscape. One thing will be really apparent as you listen in - When our minds are focused on engaging in the outdoors as an intrinsic value that is heavily connected to someone's lifestyle, theres always something to be excited about. We quickly flow into a talk on the importance of always striving to expand your knowledge of the local and not so local landscape to provide valuable insight to listeners new to hunting or foraging on the nuances and amount and types of effort it takes to actually be successful in procurement of wild foods. Each season's peak may only be a certain month out of the calendar year, but each and every individual pursuit has year round work for us if we want to find sustainable success. We then appropriately spend some time discussing optimizing our time in the outdoors and the dedication it takes to develop a well rounded relationship with your local ecosystems. We also talk about how strong community exists in outdoors circles, the value of good mentorship in outdoor pursuits, biggest barriers to entry as adult hunters, for women, and for members of minority groups trying to get involved outdoors, social media's influences on hunting and fishing culture, and what needs to change for this type of lifestyle to evolve with the times. Tons of valuable info and great resources in the shownotes for today's talk. Please do check out @artemisascendant - her content is awesome - and hope you enjoy the show!!

Jill Alanna Nixon is a Reiki Master teacher, Manifestation Coach and Shamanic Healing Arts Facilitator. Jill has a great deal of passion for helping people recover from patterns of trauma, coping mechanisms, and addiction. She helps people heal themselves by identifying limiting belief structures that can keep us unknowingly bogged down in looping cycles of habits and reactions that get in the way of the opportunity we have to create the lives of our dreams. We get into many of Jill's personal stories that led her to be able to surrender to the knowing that the world does conspire in our favor. Her journey stands as proof that if we allow ourselves to be still enough to listen to the signals we are constantly receiving, great shifts in our Reality can occur. We break things down down into practical, nitty gritty advice on what manifestation is, how it works for and against us depending on how we choose to express ourselves in the world, and what type of self-work we need to invest in to begin creating our own realities. I think by expressing a lot of both of our own personal backgrounds including moments of awakening, some of the shadow work we've done over the years, and examples of self-work leading into present day - we manage to deliver a conversation on this sometimes very spacey topic in really clear and simple terms that should make manifestation feel like a skill accessible to us all.

What it Feels Like to Be Connected with Your Purpose! Today's Show takes a super deep dive into what it feels like when we are in alignment with our highest timelines, on the road toward offering our greatest gifts back to the World and ultimately toward self-actualization. It's often easy for us to recall moments of elation, joy, relief, & full-bodied satisfaction that come with each passing milestone of success in life - Moments that come and go like passing reminders of how Life felt when we were young. They come as glimpses into how much simpler chasing our passions is as children. A far cry from what pursuing our Purpose becomes when we awaken the curious and creative child within us as adults. Between these Sparks of Light within the fog that can surround us when we choose to chase our Dreams, the paths we take can sometimes feel uncomfortable. Maybe sometimes we feel more insecure than when we started. Other moments leave us feeling like we are taking steps backwards, like everything we are doing must be wrong. How do we know for sure when we are on the right track? Aren't these periods of uncertainty when it is most important for us to be able to tell? In This week's discussion we break down many practical, easy, and natural ways to leverage our Intuitions and connections to our Truths in finding answers when we need them the most.

I explain in great detail why it is so important to accept that our imaginations are not only Real but are perhaps the most important guides we have toward Self-Actualization. I break down how to recognize patterns and cycles of coping mechanisms and habits rooted in traumatic conditioning and how these programs cause static build up that keep us from being able to tune into our Intuitive Wisdom. And of course, I also speak deeply on what it takes for us to remove these blockages and turn the VOLUME UP on our Authentic Innate Knowing. All this and much more in our first show back on the air! Walk on with us!!

An invocation of Intentions for Season 2 of our show, coming soon to all major platforms
On this special solo episode I share a glimpse into the inner workings of the passion it takes to create a one-man podcast production. I get deep down and vulnerable with my motivations and intentions for making the show during its first year. I discuss how my reasons must change moving forward and what my current WHY for continuing to produce this podcast is. I talk about my expectations for the show versus our actual outcomes for year one. I also give an insider's perspective on the impact leading a health-oriented show like this has had on my life. Then we look forward into Season 2, sharing changes and talking about what improvements in the quality and value of production I hope to make in the year to come. I dive into what you can look forward to for our conversations in 2022 and what big changes our listeners should really be excited for. As always, know that you are loved, and thank you for listening.
Today we are painting a picture of the galactic myriad of systems and influences that come together to create our food - Starting with the Cosmic Bio-battery of the living soil complex, and ranging far and wide into areas of discussion including but not limited to: What it means for our food to be recently alive and well The importance of cooking methods, post-harvest treatment, chronobiological match making in diet selection, and saying grace before meals How magnetic and electrical forces join together with water, minerals, and oxygen to create complete, healthy plants How real whole complete soil systems creating real whole complete ecosystems, cultivating real whole complete plants, bugs, fungi and animals that support all systems local and foreign - down the watershed and into the future of Time. How food is a product of the earth upon which it is grown, which is a product of the ecosystem that produced the earth it rises from. What happens when components of the environment our food comes from are missing. Why solely plant-based diets sourced from industrial organic agriculture are not sustainable or promoting of Vitality.

Learn everything about what is not food and discover ways to begin avoiding fake foods. We arm our listeners this week with defenses against poor decision making by talking about the inner mechanisms behind why harmful food products exist. We discuss why we have such a hard time breaking free of fake food in our efforts to live healthfully, and reveal how we have come to be raised in a world where children are often conditioned to be emotionally attached to harmful food choices for reasons you may not expect. This episode is also a big tease! - you'll hear us discussing the whole time how we are supposed to be building up to describing what food is, but in reality we spent so long covering what isn't food that we decided it should stand on its own merit, and now we have a 4 part series in the making! This is our most important conversation to date on the show, and its dense with information and perspectives on nutrition you aren't likely to find anywhere else - so don't miss it!!

Today I have Dr Jenn Rauscher on the show! Like many great DC's her knowledge, life experience and wisdom goes far above and beyond the science and art of adjusting, and our conversation today is a great example of how the DC profession produces truly some of the most effective, open-minded, inquisitive doctors there are! We first discuss living life intentionally, living an investigative lifestyle as a part of living authentically in alignment with our happiness, and ultimately how our passions are a part of who we are! We then get really deep down into the truth of CVD 19 and attempt to break through the false narrative and fear mongering we have both seen ruining quality of life this past 19 months in certain parts of the country for certain groups of people. We approach this topic not to spark controversy (there's enough of that already) but out of loving concern, and a knowing that we can still live hopeful, positive, healthy lives by believing in the power of the human body and in the upholding of personal values. This is a must-have conversation you do not want to miss.

One of our favorite people of all time joins us on the show this week as a recently minted Doctor of Chiropractic! Dr. Amber Majik DC attended over 70 workshops and seminars during her time in school. She took every opportunity for growth and expansion that came to her over the course of 4 years, often finding herself traveling literally all over the world to learn from nearly every living legend of vitalistic chiropractic you can think of. On her path Amber would face inconceivable hardship, seemingly unconquerable obstacles, and unimaginable loss matched only by the level of divine support, personal evolution, and human compassion she would discover along the way. Needless to say, she brings Wisdom beyond her years with her into every moment, and today's show is no exception. This is the first of a two part “very chiropractic” conversation. We dive deep into the stressors of graduate school, the unique demands on those who choose to embark on the spiritual path as healthcare professionals, why chiropractic is so powerful, the actual experience of personal expansion, how to get better at coping with the experience of growth during times of stress, integrating newly discovered aspects of Self, and what the future of healthcare education should look like to meet the demands and shortcomings of the modern world. This is a can't-miss episode for any heart centered free-thinker dedicated to their own journey of self-actualization.

This week on the show we share a heartfelt recap of the endurance principle as it is expressed in my journey toward self-actualization. Emilie takes the reins in this talk and interviews me just days after I completed a 69 mile ultramarathon in the mountains of southern Virginia rightfully named the Cloudsplitter 100. We talk a little about our history in ultra-distance running events, the unconventional training circumstances I dealt with in preparing for past races, and how the reasons for showing up to events like this can change over time. We then dive into my unconventional training and racing philosophies, including how this race was significant within the context of my personal journey toward soul-activation and embodiment of the highest self. With intentions and preferences all laid out, we then go into a full breakdown of the event itself, including favorite segments, most challenging moments, unexpected outcomes, and my biggest takeaways when all things were said and done. There is something here for anyone interested in bettering themselves or overcoming their own hardships regardless of your interest in running sports, so please do listen in and enjoy this low-key, fun, and wide ranging conversation between Emilie and I. Next week, we have our first guest in a while joining us on the show, and the conversation we share is bound to blow your minds… so stay tuned!
It's Halloween everybody! For our first ever seasonal special episode, we sit down for a late night chat with our friend and multiple repeat guest on the show, Taylor Luster DC to share ghost stories, discuss various theories of what paranormal activity actually is, and brainstorm over the possibilities of reincarnation versus single-life existence. This is a raw, goofy, fun, and mind-bending conversation you don't wanna miss.

Learn to revel in the beauty of your grand design, in the incredible power of your experience and the fact that your blessings for having gone through whatever you've been through in this life time have afforded you tremendous opportunity for growth. Learn to recognize the Innate warning systems inherent of our bodily existence are life saving, and that being grateful for signs of discomfort is our way toward vitality. Samatvam - The equal value and importance of all experience. The equal spiritual value of all living beings and their experience. The first step toward unconditional love. To not renounce action for the sake of outcome. To not pursue action for the sake of outcome. Acceptance that all outcomes of devotional action are of equal value.
Jen Davis joins us on the show this week to discuss life as an adult-onset sportswoman, forager, hunter, and conservationist. Jen is a volunteer hunter education instructor for the state of Michigan who helps lead workshops specifically geared toward adult women interested in getting involved outdoors. She's also an Artemis Sportswomen Ambassador, and she works a job helping maintain environmental health with her local Department of Parks and Recreation. We talk about lessons and considerations often encountered by anyone on a journey toward developing healthy relationships with their food and local environments. We discuss common roadblocks and challenges both women and men encounter upon deciding to get into the outdoors as adults, and share lots of resources and ideas for where to turn for those interested in starting out. We elaborate on the importance, intent, and inner workings of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. We also explain what it means to us intrinsically to live close to our food, and to live lives focused on our relationships with natural spaces and wild species.

Liz Montoya joins us on the show this week to share her incredible healing journey and quest for personal liberation. After being raised in a challenging, traumatic home environment within a Latter Day Saints congregation, Liz sought transformation, understanding, and freedom through a multi-year quest that would challenge everything she was ever taught to believe. Through personal guidance, a process of conscious uncoupling from a 14 year relationship, multiple plant medicine ceremonies, and learning to follow her intuition, Liz has redefined her relationships with Self and with Spirit. Today, Liz has gone from being the student to embodying the role of a guide who helps those knowing they want a life full of authentic connection but do not know where to start. She has a great deal of passion offering the type of guidance and direction for newcomers to the path of personal empowerment that took her years to find. This wide ranging, raw and honest conversation is full of passion, joy, and hope, and the energy Liz shares is something we could all use a little more of right now. Please tune in and we hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Topics discussed include putting ourselves first and how to heal core wounds at the root of people pleasing mentalities, not compromising our values and action plans to appease anyone else's opinions, setting expectations and boundaries in your relationships while healing, holding small containers of time to allow space for health, living above our hardship, and ultimately, how we must be our own primary care physicians if we want to truly heal in a world where we are taught from birth that once we are ‘ill', we cannot recover.

Today for our second installment of the Final Stages of Healing Series, we discuss how to Let Go of inner turmoil, fix stinking thinking, and improve the relationships in our lives to achieve true wealth and support healthy sociological environments for healing and personal growth. We touch briefly on how real lasting health in populations around the world is a product of healthy family and community values, elaborating on the science behind how lifting the weight of poor inward and outward communication skills off our shoulders can actually bring us to greater states of health and vitality. We then provide action steps and review several modalities used to alleviate past traumas, get to know ourselves, and embody the highest self while interacting with friends, family, and colleagues. Embarking on this type of personal evolution brings about greater responsibility as a leader in your community, but it also allows us to move through life with less junk in the basement - and more space for giving, grace, and gratitude for what we do hold onto.

This week Emilie Jones is back on the show as our official cohost and we are drawing from our collective experience to lay out step by step advice on how to leverage consistency in practice to evolve into a higher state of healing. We discuss what it takes, and how long it takes to reap the full benefit from a plan of action in overcoming states of dis-ease, and how to use radical self-honestly to track our progress. We elaborate on how this information is applicable to anyone who has ever sought to better themselves, and how the further we get in our journeys toward joy and vitality, the more susceptible we may become to losing sight of our long term outcomes. We also define the concepts of decision-fatigue and faith-fatigue. We give examples of how they can dissuade us from using fair judgement in searching for true, lasting states of health. We share how making choices using intuitive selection can help us avoid these common states that often squander our progress.
This week I take a deep dive into our largest takeaways and most prominent repeating themes from the first 6 months of the show. I elaborate on how connection is protection from life's challenges, and discuss how gratitude rooted in faith can be our saving grace during hard times. We look back on some incredible stories of transformation and perseverance from our guests and I mention some undiscovered gems in our episode backlog that are 100% worth revisiting. We once again dig into the power of energetic boundaries and leave off with how self-knowledge and wisdom bring us together as humans. I also touch on a little sneak peak on what to expect in the show moving forward, and we subtly say goodbye to our podcast's original name and introduce our switch to Forager Health Podcast! Time Markers: 8:31 - 15:07 Connection is protection from all life's challenges 15:07 - 20:31 Gratitude is hard to come by without faith 20:31 - 33:27 There is a ton of health, happiness, and well-being to be had that does not come from the store or in a pill 33:27 - 36:48 A sneak peak on our Final Stages of Healing Series 36:48 - 40:32 Even our heroes have moments where things seem to fall apart 40:32 - 46:55 The everlasting importance of Boundaries 46:55 - Authenticity and individual drive leads to more commonality than it does separation
Dr Joe Carranza joins us this week to share his love and passion for the healing art, science, and philosophy of chiropractic. Although Dr Joe facilitates growth in his patients through the lens of a specific healing practice, the life lessons we dive into throughout our conversation are universally applicable, and more valuable than ever before given today's sociopolitical climate. We talk about the meaning and purpose of tone, vibration, and intuition in our lives, how to remain constantly adaptive in the face of health challenges, how willingness to change is a major factor in healing, and how having unwavering faith is the ultimate tool for overcoming anything we come to face in life. Our discussion also gives listeners a deep inside look into the world of chiropractic. We dig into client progress in different types of adjusting environments, what it is like to treat people as a DC, how lifestyle factors effect change in the body, and what value the adjustment holds in the mind's eye of those in-the-know when it comes to the origins, purpose, and power that chiropractic care allows us to share with Humankind.

Today I have the pleasure of sharing a conversation with one of the most wonderfully introspective people I have ever met, Dr. Ambrose Koll DC. Ambrose joins us this week to share really powerful thoughts on what personal identity means to us in modern society. His amazing multi-career, multidisciplinary life story gives him a great deal of perspective on many topics most of us take for granted. We discuss the inherent importance of each individual journey we have as humans, overcoming the need for labels, how levels of sobriety can be considered altered states of consciousness, and what it feels like to change our relationships with technology. We also take a deep dive into Ambrose's perspectives and experiences with the Fullness of Chiropractic. We ultimately get into some really fascinating grounds in regards to how we distract ourselves from living presently and engaging in daily life, and how we may break those cycles in seeking fulfillment.

Dr Lance Von Stade joins us on the show this week to discuss how we may invest in practices and overcome patterns to allow for greater personal expression. This powerful conversation is jam packed with inspiration, motivation, and action steps that all come from a place of love and understanding. It is the type of media we all need more of in our lives right now. We discuss increasing our communication skills, identifying our personal values, decreasing inflammation, increasing the quality of our daily choices, and aiming for outcomes that provide delayed gratification and long-term health outcomes. Dr Lance is one the best chiropractors of our generation.

This week I have the pleasure of sharing a very special, heartfelt, & valuable conversation with my friend Jordan Neer. Jordan is the type of healer where experiencing her presence, energy, kindness, and lightheartedness goes beyond any title or label one would use in trying to describe her. Her unique, whimsical, and divine expression of life can only be taken in as an incredible example of human potential when we learn to feel our true needs and respond accordingly. She is wise beyond her years, and has in her journey of self-discovery learned to balance humility and assertion with grace. Jordan is everything a healer and doctor of the future should be, and all the qualities above are on full display in the power she brings to this conversation. We reminisce on major healing experiences we've both had on our paths within and beyond the chiropractic journey. We then discuss simple ways people should be taking time to allow for healing and self-love in the current socio-political climate, and ultimately we take a deep dive into what it means to have and hold sacred boundaries for yourself while living a life awareness, and what that could look like for people in different walks of life. Jordan is a chiropractic student at Life University in Marietta, GA who has spent countless hours beyond the classroom pushing her limits of perception and skill under the tutelage of our profession's best. She is also apprenticing as a Shamanic Light Worker under Dr. Suzan Rossi DC, a living legend in the field of chiropractic and one of the most powerful women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Needless to say, this week's episode is the kind of discussion that makes me happy to be alive, and excited for more. I hope that if you listen in, it will provide the same effect.

Come get your Sexual Orientation!!! This week I am joined by Kevion Devanté, Sound Shaman, Crystal Reiki Master, and Instructor of Tantric Healing Arts to discuss the all encompassing human experience of sexual energy. We all have it. We all have a relationship with it. Few have a fully healed, loving, healthy, compassionate, and empowering relationship with their sexual-being. This conversation has the power to change that. Join us and learn that everything within the grand duality of human existence is intrinsically sexual, inseparably intimate, and that embodying the Whole-Being of the Human Experience by Embracing Sexual Presence is not at all a shameful path. Like any other Innate aspect of Creation, sexual energy can be in soul-alignment… And as Nature's greatest potential act of Creation, it can be a powerful instigator for growth. No words can really describe the level of Wisdom on display in this conversation so please just invest the time. Come for the relief of healing and stay for limitless ability to manifest your best life through the power of connection.

This week's show features the type of conversation we all need more of right now. Justin Faerman joins us on the podcast this week to discuss how effortless growth is available to anyone in any given moment. We dive into how even in difficult times, we can shape our reality to be conspiring in our favor, how we can call forth highest outcomes by shaping our expectations, how we can let go of our need for struggle and regret while striving for progress in life, and much more!! Justin Faerman is a master of Flow. Not flow states, but flow consciousness. The ability to live in a heightened state of ease and of energetic attraction at all times brought on by an unwavering dedication to following one's own intuition. Justin co-founded Flow Conciousness Institute with his partner Jackie Knechtel in order to teach people how to release limiting core belief and trauma patterns, and replace them with expansive belief systems based on total abundance through their Flow Mastery courses. In other words, based on many years of personal research and exploration across many health related fields including neuroscience, quantum physics, metaphysical theory, and sociological development, they have designed a scientifically backed, tried and true system for altering our waking realities through a combination of neuro-feedback, brain training and trauma release techniques which allows people to freely experience higher planes of reality.

Today we bring you a very special conversation where I get to take a deep dive behind the curtain of our modern relationships with food, nutrition, life and death, and other things health related with a powerful human I follow on Instagram known as Maestro Quetzalcoatl! (https://www.instagram.com/wildquetzal/ (@WildQuetzal) on Social) Quetzal is a master when it comes to bringing the nature of our disconnections from what it means to be human to the forefront of peoples minds… In really bright, intuitive, beautifully orchestrated content backed by a rich history of self-education and personal discovery. He serves up high level of Truth and understanding of our food systems and their relations (or lack thereof) to indigenous cultures from around the world in easy-to-digest formats that allow for big takeaways in small amounts of time. Quetzal has a profound way of connecting the dots between our current standards of living and our lack of healthy relationships. He paints a picture of modern society as a system that has led us to lose ourselves through convenience of the built environment and removal from the natural world. Quetzal shows through his work that we presently tend to foster lack of connection with our food, our communities, and the ways of our ancestors, but that we do not have to… He shows people that even now, we have the power to choose the systems of life we invest our energy in. Don't miss out on this one, it's a heavy hitter!

Chris Brown comes back on the show as our first repeat guest to tackle all things on modern human relationships, personal development, spirituality, the subjective nature of reality, the nature of human consciousness, alternative history, human origins, the power of the Soul, and much More!!! I hope our audience takes this week's offering as an Invitation to take back our ability to be okay, here and now. This is a recording that Chris I made with no destination in mind… So naturally we covered just about every pressing issue under the Sun in this wide-ranging, extremely meaningful, and potent conversation. This is a long one but if you hang in there with us, you may just find yourself taking away a great deal of personal freedom that we all could really use right now no matter where you may find yourself in your journey.

Whether going out of town on business, heading to a conference, attending a workshop, investing in a personal retreat, or leaving home to visit family, we all deserve to allow space for the highest return on investment for our time. A primary way of holding space for our Highest Selves as we engage with Opportunity for Expansion is to set intentions before hand for the experiences you are going to encounter. In part 1 we discussed this and touched on family relations, car rides and travel times, food prep ideas, hydration, biohacking, examples of intentions and preferences for different chapters of our journey, and more! This week for part 2, we come together over morning coffee to tell stories, lessons learned, outcomes, successes, & challenges as we share the details of our misadventures. Our main take aways: Ask and we shall receive, even if what we ask for and what it ends up looking like are completely different in Real Time than whatever preference we have going in. Abundance can sometimes present itself in the strangest of ways…. And sometimes, the work we have to do on our inward realities projects itself so strongly outward, that the messages granted by our efforts to live out Life as our Highest Selves are higher in value than any preference or intention we could possibly conceive of before they come to be.

Whether going out of town on business, heading to a conference, attending a workshop, investing in a personal retreat, or leaving home to visit family, we all deserve to allow space for the highest return on investment for our time. A primary way of holding space for our Highest Selves as we engage with Opportunity for Expansion is to set intentions before hand. Sitting down and thinking on what you would prefer to get out of your investment is a critical, yet often overlooked strategy. In this short series we discuss the steps we have taken to get the absolute most out of our time, money, and energy invested in traveling.

We at Forager Health and many others in the chiropractic community consider Zachary Riles Conner as a no less than a Modern Renaissance Man. Zach is a POWERHOUSE of clarity, presence, love, and understanding, stemming from what I can only describe as his infallible pursuit to follow his genuine calling in life, and to consistently push his limits to do so in the most efficient & yet, holistically mindful ways possible. Zach is often seen playing a role of the Warrior Archetype, putting himself out there on the front lines in battle against ignorance to aide in the evolution of our understanding as a society toward a collective awakening to the truth that all can and does ‘begin and end' at Unconditional Love. In this discussion we peel back the layers of our short-term motives and perspectives as members of a world-wide community in dissection of the implications of mankind's current state of Being. In doing so, we inevitably end up coming to a place where time horizons are expanded, and comforting truths backed by Universal Principles are explained and elaborated on. We find common ground in a Knowing that in the end of all tumultuous periods, Life will always tend to arrive at a brighter, more positive, more expressive complex of systems than whatever history's previous peaks of Awareness may have looked like. This conversation, like any with Zachary Riles Conner, is NOT one to be missed. If you are new to hearing Zach speak, or you have been holding back on tuning in to the show, there has never been a better time.

Revelations, restitutions, contemplations, new chapters, personal growth, and beyond. Just stepping into larger roles as the human and Healer that I currently am by embodying my Truth in pursuit of my Reason. May this recording stand as inspiration for you to work on letting go of what is not yours and proudly claim all the pieces of yourself that remain when enough of your layers are shed. When we remove enough of what is not ourselves, it becomes clear that boys and girls who are lucky enough to become men and women within a single lifetime are no more or less than ever-fluid physical working outward expressions of True Masculine and Feminine-dominant Sacred archetypes. We each encompass essences of both sexes equally in balanced expression through every fiber of our being, in all of our bodily processes, in each thought, reaction, and every emotion. Everything in existence is both male and female in nature. To have preference for one side, or to be expressive more of one or the other is not a matter of ‘correctness', it just is, as a constant-acting Universal Truth... Happening in all objects always, animate, intelligent, or not. This is the great duality that upon the creation of this Plane, where first there was space and time, was perpetuated forward from the unknown by the Universal Intelligence of everything in its endless enthalpic spiral toward Infinite varieties of Love, where Love, according to Paul Chek is Consciousness experiencing itself. #Chek #HLC #HealthCoach #FutureDC #SacredMasculine #SacredFeminine #Tao #Balance #Health #Love #Empathy #Unity #Understanding #Relationships #Empowerment #Healing #ForagerHealth #LGBTQ
Kevin Gregory Jr. AKA @BubblestheClowne is an experienced strength and conditioning coach (CSCS), health and lifestyle influencer, cofounder of his own gym, and an OG Obstacle Course Racing athlete. Kevin has built a reputation at Spartan Race for being a light in the crowd that brings people together with his outgoing personality and the levity of his clown mask alter-ego on race day. Kevin is a major inspiration in the world of OCR with his never-quit attitude and drive to not only push himself to higher limits, but in his efforts to help tons of other people achieve things beyond their perceived abilities along the way.
