Podcast appearances and mentions of anthony sanna

Okay well he didn't really stop by. He lives in Nelson so we recorded the podcast with me and Victoria and him and Nelson. He's one of my best friends and online marketing smarty pants and a connoisseur of podcasts and communication. So we shoot the breeze and we talk about a whole bunch of different topics. A little about self-improvement, a little about podcasts and a lot about friendship and mentorship.

Which of your angels is teaching you the most? Have you ever heard the expression, ‘Follow the guidance of your better angels.’ I love that affirmation of clarity and self-trust. I am also reminded of those childhood cartoons with a character who has an angel and a devil on each shoulder trying to convince them to do something ‘good or bad.' What does any of that have to do with your day? Well, after almost 2 months of self-isolation, quarantine, or whatever this has been like for you, you are probably getting familiar with the proverbial angel and devil on your shoulders. If you look at ‘pandemic’  life through the lens of Social media, most people are living in their pyjamas, eating more than usual, binge-watching tv shows and trying to stay busy or distracted – or both. Some of us are craving attention and contact while others are hiding in the laundry room for a moment of personal space. I hope you are finding your balance in all of that. I hope you are learning to appreciate your angels and demons.     Given the challenges that most people are facing, we decided to do a podcast on sobriety. I would like to introduce you to Dr, Dana Leigh Lyons. One of the smartest and most authentic people I know. In this unexpected episode of FHR, Anthony Sanna and I get to chat with Dana about her experience with addiction and how she has become a respected sobriety expert. If you are looking for some inspiration and guidance, or just some honest human truth about living through challenging experiences, please check out this insightful conversation. Dana offers some great online support. This link takes you to her sobriety kit and recovery journal. Enjoy!

 Autoimmunity is on the rise. At present, one in six people suffers from one or more of the over 180 known conditions that we know are Autoimmune. It is very likely that many other chronic modern conditions like Cardio-Vascular Disease, Cancer and Alzheimer's Disease will soon be classified as Autoimmune. Most clinicians are in agreement that most people with Depression, Anxiety and some forms of insomnia are inflammatory and Autoimmune. Honestly, Autoimmunity is everywhere. In this episode, Anthony Sanna goes on a deep dive with Dr. Michael Smith about the Autoimmune Spectrum.

Self Quantification is 'All the Rage' in the modern health space. It is pretty cool that we can use a widget and a computer (or phone) to check in on our sleep patterns and things like Heart Rate Variability to monitor our health and ensure our progress with our health goals.

Functional Medicine is essentially Traditional Chinese Medicine with a Microscope and a time machine. Say what...? If you ask Dr. Michael Smith, that is the answer. It goes like this... Both Functional Medicine and Chinese Medicine aim to discern the root cause of a person's condition. They are both focused on the interaction of all of the subtle and complex systems within the human body. Chinese medicine has a VAST history and experience with diagnostic tools that have helped people for over 5000 years. Pretty cool! Functional Medicine applies some VERY leading-edge lab testing and, what is called correlative questionnaires. That is where the time machine comes in. On average, leading-edge lab tests are between 7 and 10 years ahead of what most insurance companies will pay for. Especially in Canada. In this episode, Anthony Sanna finishes a 2 episode deep dive into all things Functional Medicine with Michael Smith. Our Live Q&A will happen on Sunday, Feb 25 at 1:00 pm PST.  Here is the Link to the Zoom Webinar Meeting - This is going to be AWESOME!!! https://zoom.us/j/860207157   The Fusion Health Radio Patreon Page is Up and LIVE!

We all have an internal dialogue.   That voice that likes to rehearse conversations.   That voice that talks you into the best and worst decisions,   That voice that convincingly ensures you that it is actually you...   What if that voice is actually made up a dozen or so voices that come from deep evolutionary instincts, social conditioning, the people you dislike and the people you want to be like.   That's a lot of stuff to think about. Take a moment to talk to yourselves in your head for a bit...   Just kidding.    Waaaay back in the early 1970's Hal and Sidra Stone (both Ph.Ds) developed a practice called Voice Dialoguing. Voice Dialoguing is a therapeutic and Psycho-Spiritual practice that involves deeply listening to how you talk to yourself, giving the main voices a name, and negotiating for a healthier internal world.   This week, Anthony Sanna and Dr. Michael Smith get into a rip-roaring conversation about, (and with) the most common voices in most peoples heads.    Listen, Learn, Laugh and get to know your inner selves.     Sept. 16 -2017 The following is about Opportunity.

What is it like to live inside your mind? Is it chill in there, or is it scary and chaotic in there? Mindfulness and self-quantification are really big deal right now. Essentially mindfulness is a meditation on acceptance and presence. Spend a few minutes every morning and evening just appreciating the subtle qualities of being you. Self Quantification is the use of technology to measure your state, health variables and progress if you are in some kind of training. (example is a Fit Bit wearable device) Mindlessness is what all addicts are looking for. Mindlessness also describes a state that is not focused on the experience of your mind at all. Ready? In this conversation, Anthony Sanna and Dr Michael Smith take freewheeling a wondering conversation about consciousness, meditation and psychedelic plant medicines.

How life works is either weird or kind of funny sometimes. Take the erratic and unpredictable aspects of a person's mood or memory or sleep. What causes this randomness in a person? Is it stress, genetics or some scary psychiatric or neurological condition? Eeek! Did you know that most of how you think and feel is up to the health of your gut? What is your gut, you may ask?  Your gut includes your stomach, intestines, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, immune system and all of the micro-organisms that live in the 'tube' of your gut. As it turns out, your gut makes most of your neurotransmitters, balances your immune system, and clears your stress hormones. In this episode of Fusion Health Radio, Anthony Sanna gets into the details with Michael Smith about all things gut health. Especially the deep and life-changing experience that can happen when you actually take the time and change your habits long enough to heal your gut. Sept. 21-2017 The following is about Opportunity.

Mold is everywhere. It is literally in the air. Given some moisture, a lack of direct light, and a moderate temperature and you have the recipe for that weird green or black stuff that grows pretty much anywhere. Unlike the big fuzzy stuff that grows in the vegetable drawers of the very creative or very distracted, the mold that grows in the deeper, darker and wetter places is actually a very serious medical concern. Especially the black stuff that eats drywall and plywood. Yep, I mean the evil black mold. Toxic mold syndrome is one of the hardest things to diagnose and treat that I have ever seen. It is profoundly misunderstood by both clinicians and patients. In this episode, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about this surprisingly common and very terrifying condition. And, as it turns out, the mold is only the beginning of the problem. If you have any concern that toxic mold may be affecting your health, the health of a relative or the health of a patient, be sure to check it out.   Sept. 21-2017 The following is about Opportunity.

Everyone has had at least one pimple or blemish on their face.  In a culture that is a bit (or a lot) obsessed with physical appearance, acne is a game changer for some of us. How many physically beautiful people live deeply insecure lives because of a few zits. Then there are those of us who have acne for most of our adult lives. Then there are those with deep and painful cystic acne that can scar your face or back for life… not fun at all! So, what is acne? Why do so many young people have it? Why do people with other complex conditions also get acne? The standard answer is that acne is caused by dirty pores. If it were that simple, why is the standard medical treatment is either antibiotics or oral contraceptive hormones? In this episode of Fusion Health Radio, Anthony Sanna sits down with Michael Smith to explore this very question.

Body memory is a funny thing.    If you walk around in a cloud of hornets, expecting to be stung at any moment - you are basically having a panic attack. That is the body memory of anxiety.    We have all heard the expression "butterflies in the stomach". That may be the most commonly experienced embodied state.    Every extreme or chronic emotional state, injury or other cause of pain and every day of fatigue due to chronic illness is going to turn into the unique embodied state you create in reaction to any experience of overwhelm. We all do it every day...   Take a moment to reflect on that. And here is a question to help you reflect; "Are you aware of the volume of distress and discomfort you carry around in your posture and how you breathe?"   We all do this 'inner tension - outer persona' dance that can literally take over your body - your felt sense immediate and present sense of everything you feel as a body.    It is not a coincidence that the most modernized nations are the most medicated nations.   In this episode, Anthony Sanna and Michael Smith talk about a revolutionary perspective on the treatment of insomnia, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, PTSD, post-concussive syndrome, and a host of other deeply challenging chronic conditions.    This revolutionary perspective is very simple. 'What if there was a way to completely reset the nervous system, or the Mind/Body connection?'   What happens is AMAZING!!!   The practice is called sensory deprivation... Yeah, that thing where people float in tanks of warm water...   no light...   no sound...   There is only one way to find out what happens... Get in touch with your local float talk facility.     Sept. 21-2017 The following is about Opportunity. Fusion Health Radio is Growing Up. That means more and more people are finding the show.

Some of us, honestly, most of us hit a wall in life.    It is a wall of past feelings and a fundamental unwillingness to move on and continue to pretend that all is well.    It is at these times when your ability to relax deeply and sleep like a baby that determine your health and your future.   In this episode, Anthony Sanna continues a conversation with Michael Smith about the theory and practice of Neuro-Somatic Therapy. This practice can include regular bodywork or acupuncture sessions that focus on the layers of embodied distress that are the focus of NST. The practice can also be explored on your own, as a part of a Yoga class, or as part of a soak in a sensory deprivation tank.    If you are looking for a whole new way to experience your body, your instincts, your past, and the nature of human life, check out this episode or Fusion Health Radio.

Stress, trauma, pain, exhaustion and chronic illness all get stored, or 'remembered' in your body.    So do joy, elation, wonder and ease. The tricky part is to choose which state you feel and remember the most.   In this episode, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about just that. How do your day-to-day experiences and memories get stored in your body? Enter Neuro-Somatic Therapy; an evolutionary approach to the treatment of chronic pain, illness and exhaustion. Initially developed by Michael Smith, Neuro-Somatic Therapy (NST) is a hands-on approach to reducing the physical, emotional, somatic and biochemical 'memories' of the past.   NST turns about to be an unexpected but profound opportunity to decompress the way that the mind, heart, body and soul get stuck.   Check it out here...

Unless you are from another planet, you have probably heard that cholesterol causes heart disease.

Cancer is a VERY scary word. It is an even scarier diagnosis.  As of 2016, the statistics are actually mind-bendingly terrifying. At present, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime. YIKES!!! In this conversation, Anthony Sanna talks with Dr. Michael Smith about what cancer is, how it happens and what to do about it. Throughout the podcast,  it becomes more and more clear that Cancer may actually be a Natural but extreme immune response.  If you are concerned with this modern plague or know someone who has been diagnosed, please listen to this podcast or share with a friend in need. The standard model of treatment for Cancer is almost as dangerous as the disease itself, if not more so. Listen and share, and as always, we would love to hear your comments and questions.   Sept. 21-2017 The following is about Opportunity. Fusion Health Radio is Growing Up.

One of the most challenging experiences we all have is feeling stuck.  Decisions seem impossible, creativity is a long lost friend and it seems like there is always too much to do. At some point it gets so distracting, exhausting and oppressive that we have no choice but to make some changes. The hardest and most important decision is the first on that you actually commit to completely.  In this conversation Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about getting unstuck. This conversation will challenge and encourage you to apply some practices and tools to stay present and committed to our goals. 

Life is full of surprises! Some good and some bad. There is an old Daoist saying, "The only constant in the Universe is change." Clearly, it is essential that we all get very good at changing directions in life. If changing directions doesn't make our lives better then we may need to take an even bigger risk and start from scratch.  In this episode, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about starting over and rebuilding your life. Unlike our usual geek-out session on all things healthy, in this conversation we talk about how to face hard times with courage, patience, and compassion.  Rebuilding your life may be just the adventure you need to really learn about who you really are.

Science is amazing! Nothing has helped humanity move ahead in our evolution than science. We are lucky to be able to say that we are the recipients of the most rigorously tested, precise and powerful medications. Unfortunately, we are also the unwitting lab rats in the greatest experiment in all of history. Can the extensive use of powerful drugs with multiple and unpredictable side-effects actually bring about long-term positive outcomes? So far the number three killer of patients in the USA is iatrogenic death - or death by medical treatment. These deaths are profoundly unreported or misreported. It is more likely that the standard model of care is the number one killer as well. In this conversation, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about the realities of being a patient with chronic health problems in the 21st Century. We are respectful of the modern system of health care but are also aware that most people who are treated with the pharma-Surgical Model will eventually need to be treated for the side effects or limited effects of their drugs. What if we embrace a new model of care? If a person needs Pharma-Surgical intervention, thank God we have that available. Once that person is stable and ready to heal on a deeper level, they would be guided through a process of discovering what is at the root of their medical condition.

Evolutionary Medicine is becoming a hot topic in the world of fitness and nutrition.  What did our early ancestor's lives look like? Was it scary or friendly? What did we do all day?  Clearly, all of our ancestors knew what they were doing. Today, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about Evolutionary Medicine and the Four Worlds of most Indigenous cultures. Michael describes each World's way of living life together; the diet, cultural drives, lifespan, stress levels, and style of cooperation.  If you have ever wanted to travel back through time and see how humanity came into being, sit back and enjoy the show!

From an early age Anthony Sanna, by necessity became a translator and storyteller with a knack for getting the gist and passing it on.

Qi is a tricky concept to translate into English. To call Qi energy makes Qi a noun, which is easy for English speakers to understand, but can over simplify the depth of Chinese Medicine's understanding of health. In today's episode, Anthony Sanna discusses Qi with Michael Smith, a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, martial arts and Qi Gong expert. The conversation goes far and wide with many examples of how an understanding of Qi can help us all make some positive changes in our health, lifestyle and mindset.

In Episode 18 of Fusion Health radio, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about the challenges and some unique solutions to giving your brain a rest.

Most of take our brain and our brain's health for granted. It is natural to assume that, if we feel normal, everything is working just fine. This is especially true as we get older, because we all expect to lose some focus and memory as we age. In this episode Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about assessing the health of each major lobe of the brain and the do's and don'ts of maintaining a healthy body and brain.

This is an introduction to a four part series on brain health and all of the practical and essential things you can do to keep your brain, your mind, your body and Spirit free from confusion, suffering or degeneration.

Being in a conscious relationship with all of people in your life is your birthright. Imagine what that would be like. Connection without insecurity or manipulation... In the modern world we learn to be in relationship from the TV or from people who learned how to relate from TV. Sometimes that is good, lot's of shows are meant to educational and helpful and a lot more shows are people behaving in a dysfunctional way. Which can be funny as anything, but maybe not the best resource for conscious interaction. In today's episode, Anthony Sanna talks with Dr. Michael Smith about Medicine Wheeling and healthy relationship. Medicine Wheeling is a spiritual practice or, as we say now, a life hack, that is like having a compass in your hand throughout you whole life. It is a source of teachings on how to life a good life and how to solve problems co-creatively with nature. Today, Michael shares a few Native teachings that can help you navigate your relationships more consciously and whole-heartedly.

Sometimes the best solutions for improving our health are not always obvious or comfortable. In this episode Anthony Sanna asks Dr. Michael Smith the hard to ask questions about therapeutic enemas.

What if Human Beings are the descendants of scavenging primates that learned to swim?A strange question for sure. This question, and the perspective it brings to light, offers a unique opportunity to people living today. Especially those who need to re-frame their lives in order to improve their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. What if 80% of your opportunities to improve your health happen below the part of your mind that talks. What if simply focusing on the needs of a primate, or a pre-language primitive person could help you improve your health, your sleep and your relationships.In this episode Anthony Sanna interviews Dr. Michael Smith about the five Primal needs of our species, which turn out to be the needs of all of our primitive and primate ancestors.

Sometimes in life we find ourselves in situations that have high consequences. Getting into a fight is an obvious one, but so is chronic illness, obesity, depression, anxiety and insomnia.

In this episode Anthony Sanna interviews Dr. Michael Smith about the 3 healthiest ways of eating on earth. There are three distinct and potently healthy diets that have literally shaped us as a species. Before industrial society came into being, most of our ancestors were living as homesteaders. This way of eating was relatively nutrient dense, and was inherently self balancing with respect to the consumption of grains cooked in fat, dairy products and lacto-fermented foods.Before the advent of agriculture, all of our ancestors were hunters, gatherers and/or scavengers. This "paleolithic" way of eating is profoundly nutrient dense and focuses on a diet of plants, protein and fat. If you go back far enough into our evolutionary past, to discuss the diet of our early primate ancestors who were forced by severe Ice Ages to the ocean, near the equator, to subsist on a lot of fish, fowl, eggs, sea vegetables and plants. This profound change in diet and food gathering perfectly explains our evolution from primates to human beings.Feel free to offer your comments and ask questions for the Doctor.
