Truth Health Freedom Podcast

An interview with physician & nutrition expert Dr John McDougall. In this interview Dr John McDougall shares his understanding of the human diet, an understanding backed by over 50 years of study into the scientific, medical, & even archaeological literature, as well as over 40 years of successfully preventing, treating & reversing patient’s illnesses through nutrition.Dr McDougall also stresses the urgent importance of our food choices for the health of the planet, highlighting the impact that modern agriculture has on our ecosystem & climate. For many years Dr McDougall lived & worked in Santa Rosa, California, an area which was devastated by fire in 2017. The McDougall’s survived but lost their home & all their possessions, as did the entire community.  When Dr McDougall talks about climate change it is from raw personal experience, the savage impact of the fire clearly audible in his voice & fuelling the urgency of his message, “The world is worth saving, it really is”, “if we get the food right we might have a chance… that’s how important I think the food is”. For many years Dr McDougall used the catchphrase “It’s the food” with reference to the health of individual patients. Now that same message can be applied to our impact on planet Earth.If we as a collective can understand the impact of modern agriculture on the ecosystem we can limit the damage we are doing & give Planet Earth a chance to recover. The greatest power we have is how we spend our money at the checkout, what we choose to buy and eat. Agribusiness will respond to customer demand so choose wisely, spend wisely and eat wisely – for your health and the health of the planet.To understand the impact of modern animal agriculture upon the environment, please view this video entitled “COWSPIRACY - The Sustainability Secret in about 15 minutes (Short Version)”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSjE8xw_-Dg Dr McDougall has published a wealth of information on health and nutrition, a lifetime’s work, available for free on his website www.drmcdougall.comHis book “The Starch Solution” is available from good booksellers, as are the many cookbooks full of healthy recipes by his wife Mary.Dr John McDougall Biography from www.drmcdougall.com“A physician and nutrition expert who teaches better health through vegetarian cuisine, John A.

An interview with Paul Coleman, also known as the Earth Walker. Paul's extraordinary life has taken him from Manchester to his current eco-home in Patagonia passing through 39 nations along the way. He has walked much of the Earth and written fairytales to promote peace, the beauty of nature and environmental sustainability. In this interview he talks of his early life and career in the merchant navy, his powerful vision in Iceland which inspired him on a path to spread his message of conservation, his adventures rafting down the Amazon river, his first great walk from Canada to Rio to attend the 1992 Earth Summit, how he came to walk and plant trees all over the world and in particular he takes us deep into the heart of Sarajevo at the height of the war in 1995. Finally he describes how he met his beloved wife Konomi and explains how and why they built their eco-home in the mountains of Patagonia where they live to this day. This is an inspiring story for anyone who has a dream of living more sustainably in harmony with the planet, an example of what can be achieved when one commits to a path motivated by a higher purpose.Paul Coleman Biography (from Linkedin)Paul Coleman,was born in Manchester, at a time when it's industry was in a state of decay and the city was suffering through a century of pollution with a ship canal so polluted that merely to fall in it meant a visit to the hospital. This rather unnatural environment led him to dream of visting the places he read of in books. Places like the Amazon, for example, where he would picture himself leading expeditions, wading through Piranha infested waters and meeting up with the Indians in the forest. These dreams led him to a life time of travel, first in the Merchant Navy, then as a Chauffeur to a friend of the British Royal Family and finally as an Earthwalker, planting trees and spreading the environmental messages as he walked almost fifty thousand kilometers through 39 nations inspiring people wherever he went. Now he lives with his wife Konomi near the village of La Junta in Patagonian Chile, where they are creating a sustainable lifestyle . They have built their home, with their own hands, using ancient technologies and modern ideas to have minimum impact on the natural environment and utilizing the natural resources available from their land and the immediate vicinity, on a small piece of hillside pasture that had previously been eroded by cattle and sheep to the extent that it looked like a pool table. This pool table of land gave them a blank canvas to work with and they have planted more than 1300 indigenous trees and fruit trees to bring it back to its former glory, while at the same time to providing them with a food forest to compliment the terrace gardens that they have made. Their drinking water comes from a nearby steam, which runs dry for at least five months of the year. In order to feed the gardens during this time they catch rain from their house, guest cabin, greenhouses and hillside slopes, channeling the water into the nineteen ponds they have created. Their work and farm is known throughout the region and they often receive visitors from the government and organisations interested in sustainability and the alternative methods of farming that the couple have used to grow crops not previously grown in the region.Footnote: Paul did end up leading an expedition, wading through Piranha infested waters and meeting up with the Indians!Paul Coleman Links: Connect With The Earth Walker!https://www.facebook.com/earthwalkerpchttps://earthwalker.com/CreditsInterview recorded 20th May 2018 in Cheshire and Patagonia via Zoom CallInterviewer, Host and Show Creator: Alan BurtonThis and all other episodes of the Truth Health Freedom Podcast are also available at itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/truth-health-freedom-podcast/id1369946890?mt=2  and youtube  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrq99mkXID-1ELpu0VMmk5g/videosThe podcast can be followed at www.facebook.com/thfpodcast and www.twitter.com/truthpodcast

On 3rd May 2018 I was honoured to be interviewed by Robert Brus of the highly rated Go All In Podcast. In this interview I share my journey from chronic ill health to thriving well being, primarily by going 'all in' on detoxification, nutrition and natural health. This is the first time I've shared my story so publicly in this depth and I'm proud that I've overcome my resistance to do so. I did this because I feel that my experience may help others with similar issues to regain control of their own health through natural and affordable means.As I reveal in the interview, I am a particular believer in Whole Food Plant Based Nutrition. In December 2017 I gained a certificate in this subject from the T Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies at eCornell University. I have also created a facebook group called Whole Food Plant Based Manchester. You may also be interested in episode 6 of TheTruth Health Freedom Podcast, an in-depth interview with water-only fasting expert and whole food plant based advocate Dr Alan Goldhamer.If anyone would like to contact me about the subjects raised in this interview please do get in touch, if I can help point you in the right direction I'd be delighted, or if you have your own journey to share please do so in the comments - it could help someone.DESCRIPTION FROM THE 'GO ALL IN' SHOW PAGE:On todays show our guest is Alan Burton.

Here strong roots for his songs were created in vigils of repeated ceremony and constant immersion in icaro.Maestro Richard now 54 years of age regards himself with humour as a “young elder”. With a professional background in psychotherapy and hypnosis he often uses hypnotic language and storytelling techniques within his healing songs and soundscapes.Richard also enjoys the co-creations of work with his wife, Katerina Down – sound healer. They call themselves, Gateway to the Heart - and together they produce sound healing events, World Peace initiatives and an event tour of live performances of that they have called, “The Song,” a shamanic story and sound journey.In recent years Maestro Richard has been extending the healing power of his medicine songs, linking shamanic communities and gathering people together with a focus on creating pathways towards World Peace initiatives: Strong encouragement of loving ways and an emphasis on summarising wisdom are the mainstays of his message.For this reason Maestro Richard recently created “Power Up”, a live tour to spread his message of World Peace through his medicine song. The tour began successfully in London in March, and will be coming to the Heaven and Earth Space in Manchester on the 5th of May. In Richard’s own words, “People come together in the name of love – it’s time to co-create World Peace”.Listen to this episode on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxsk0gpMkgE&t=3sListen to this episode on itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/truth-health-freedom-podcast/id1369946890?mt=2Follow the Truth Health Freedom Podcast at www.facebook.com/thfpodcast and at www.twitter.com/truthpodcast

An interview with Manchester based spiritual psychotherapist Charmain Berry. Charmain explains how new developments in psychology, particularly the Internal Family Systems model (or IFS), are improving patient outcomes especially in healing trauma. She explains how these cutting-edge developments fuse ancient and modern wisdom and build a bridge between science and spirituality, between shamanism and quantum physics. We explore such topics as love and epigenetics, discuss the connection between the body and the psyche, and discover why aligning with self energy is not just important for healing but is also vital to our ability to live authentically and to thrive individually and collectively. We discuss the connection between the microcosm and the macrocosm through Charmain's belief that healing society and the planet begins with healing ourselves. Charmain explians where you, the audience, can learn more about this topic and these methods, and how you can take responsibility for your own health, wellbeing and personal growth (see links below).Important Links Discussed in This Show:charmain@psychologycentral.co.ukFacebook : charmain berry psychotherapies IFS training / workshops internalfamilysystemstraining.co.ukUSA website www.selfleadership.orgOne day introductory workshop this Sunday 15th April at Yoga Central IFS monthly meet up group - 1st Monday of every month Facebook group: Internal Family Systems Manchester Group CHARMAIN BERRY BIOGRAPHY:Charmain Berry is an accredited (BABCP) psychotherapist working in private practice in Manchester specialising in the treatment of psychological trauma.  She holds a degree in Psychology and Diploma in CBT model counselling.  She is an EMDR Europe Association Approved EMDR practitioner and is a qualified Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner and is also trained in Comprehensive Resource Model - a novel therapeutic model which uniquely bridges neuroscience and spirituality. For over 16 years Charmain has been dedicated to expanding her awareness of the human psyche with this leading to the field of trauma and the discovery that ‘mental health’ difficulties directly correlate with earlier life adversity, neglect and inadequate attachment during childhood.  This includes the gestational period of life.  She also holds space for people who believe that wider experiences such as past life and ancestoral trauma also impact upon the present.  She considers herself a ‘trauma informed’ therapist and is in full support of the emerging paradigm shift which is now challenging the mainstream’s assumptions on emotional and physical healing.Charmain has a specialist interest in the newer psychotherapies and has recently completed training in an approach called Internal Family Systems.  This is a psycho-spiritual psychotherapy which provides a safe and understandable way to navigate and heal the complex arrangements within the psyche.  The two basic principles of IFS assume that 1) we each have an un-damageable core self and 2) the psyche is multiple in structure.  The founder of this approach (Dick Schwartz) learnt that if we align Self-energy with our wounded and dissociated psyche ‘parts’ we can effect healing.  From this premise he was able to map out the systemic arrangement patterns within the psyche and develop the techniques required to enter into this murky world in a safe and respectable way.IFS not only brings to life the ancient teachings of our ancestors but it also enables us to contextualise these into the modern world and the contemporary psychological problems we face. Listen to this episode on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyVU9a3-3Vs&t=24sListen to this episode on itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/truth-health-freedom-podcast/id1369946890?mt=2Follow the Truth Health Freedom Podcast at www.facebook.com/thfpodcast and www.twitter.com/truthpodcast
