In this engaging episode host Myrna Young welcomes Christian Rasmussen, a notable figure in the ethnobotanical field, to explore the power and potential of the Amanita Muscaria mushroom. Christian's personal story of overcoming benzodiazepine addiction with the help of Amanita Muscaria sets the stage for a broader discussion on plant-based healing methods for mental health, particularly their role within the legal landscape.The conversation also delves into the comparison between Amanita Muscaria and popular psychedelics like psilocybin, highlighting the unique benefits of this legal alternative in addressing issues like anxiety, insomnia, and PTSD among others. Christian explains the importance of storytelling in destigmatizing natural remedies, emphasizing that lived experiences can radically transform perceptions of mental health solutions and inspire a collective shift towards plant-based wellness. The episode encapsulates a journey of hope, empowerment, and healing grounded in Christian's mission-driven approach to promoting natural alternatives in mental health care.Key Takeaways:Amanita Muscaria's Unique Role: Unlike typical psychedelics, Amanita Muscaria mushrooms offer psychoactive benefits without the visionary experiences.Healing Power: Christian shared his personal experience of overcoming a severe benzodiazepine addiction using Amanita Muscaria. Microdosing Benefits: The safe and structured use of low doses of Amanita can help enhance relaxation, focus, mood stabilization, and overall mental balance without adverse side effects.Resources:Website: Home - Amentara  for more information on Amanita This Episode is Sponsored by:NativePathTransform Your Skin, Hair, and Joints with Ancient Grass-Fed Collagen...Discover the life-changing effect of NativePath Collagen.RIGHT NOW, VISIT getnativepath.com/Transform FOR A SPECIAL BUNDLE DEALAuraFramesFor a limited time, visit AuraFrames.com and get $45 off Aura's best-selling Carver Mat frames by using promoTo advertise on our podcast, visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/TransformyourMindor email kriti@youngandprofiting.com See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/

This episode is a deep dive into why having fun is not optional for men's mental health—it is the silver bullet that so many guys are missing. From the outside, men are told to grind harder, stay stoic, and carry everything alone, but inside, loneliness, stress, and emotional exhaustion are quietly stacking up. Having fun becomes a radical act of rebellion against isolation, shame, and emotional numbness. John and Will unpack how having fun and playful presence can pull men out of their heads and back into their hearts, bodies, families, and communities, opening the door to real connection, creativity, and relief.Loneliness in men is now recognized as a genuine health risk, not just a feeling to tough out, and it is strongly linked to anxiety, burnout, depression, and even physical illness. In this conversation, John and Will explore how lightening up and making space for joy can interrupt that spiral. When men stop treating life as a never-ending performance review and start allowing play, silliness, and hobbies that feel good, their nervous systems calm down, stress chemistry shifts, and it becomes easier to open up, reach out, and let people in.You'll hear how simple practices—like reclaiming old passions, trying new playful activities, or bringing a sense of humor into daily routines—can build resilience and emotional flexibility. Research shows that enjoyable leisure and playful mindsets boost mood, sharpen focus, improve problem-solving, and enhance relationships, all of which are crucial for men who feel stuck, burnt out, or alone. This episode connects those insights directly to real life: how having fun with friends, partners, kids, or even solo can be the bridge from isolation to intimacy, from rigid seriousness to grounded presence.The tone is honest, unpolished, and real—no fake positivity, no macho posturing. If you're a man feeling the weight of loneliness, or you love a man who seems checked out, this conversation offers both language and tools to shift the story. You'll walk away with a new understanding of why having fun is not childish or trivial—it is a serious strategy for protecting men's mental health, rebuilding friendships, and rediscovering what it feels like to be fully alive.Feeling stuck? If you need help getting out of your rut, Will can help - head to willnotfear.com to learn more about his coaching to get you off the hamster wheel. More from MTM at: https://mentalkingmindfulness.com/ Chapters:00:00 - Introduction02:54 - Playfulness as a Tool for Connection05:45 - The Consequences of Losing Playfulness08:57 - Creativity and Brain Development11:51 - Playfulness in Adulthood14:51 - The Role of Fun in Mental Health17:41 - Breaking Free from Societal Expectations20:36 - Finding Joy in Everyday Life23:41 - The Courage to Be Playful26:53 - The Connection Between Play and Success29:47 - Embracing Vulnerability and Fun32:44 - The Adventure of Playfulness35:28 - The Playful Spirit of Jesus38:32 - Final Thoughts on PlayfulnessHosted on Ausha.

If you've ever been told your gut is “fine” but you still feel bloated, inflamed, exhausted, or stuck, this episode will change the way you look at your health. In today's episode, I break down what a GI Map actually is and why I use it as the starting point for almost every woman I work with. I explain the critical difference between what a traditional GI doctor looks for and what a GI Map is designed to uncover.  While medical doctors are trained to find disease, this type of testing looks for dysfunction, the subtle imbalances that quietly sabotage your energy, hormones, digestion, and metabolism. I walk you through what the test measures, including bacteria, yeast, parasites, inflammation, leaky gut markers, and detox capacity.  You'll learn why so many women get “normal” test results at the doctor's office but still feel anything but normal in their bodies. I share why skipping the gut and jumping straight into hormone work often leads to stalled progress and frustration. I also break down how we use GI Map results to create custom gut-healing protocols that go far beyond random supplements.  We talk through the real-life signs that your gut might be your missing piece even if you don't have obvious digestive issues. I explain why this test alone isn't enough and how coaching and real-time adjustments are what make the process actually work.  If you've been doing “all the right things” and still feel off, this episode will connect the dots for you. By the end, you'll understand whether a GI Map might be the next step in your healing journey and why guessing is no longer necessary. If you're ready for clarity instead of trial and error, this episode is for you.  Time Stamps: (1:21) Home Ownership(4:40) GI Map's(6:32) Disease vs Dysfunction(9:50) What Is A GI Map?(12:27) Where We Start Our Vital Spark Clients(15:40) Your House Is On Fire(20:07) Episode 206 and 207(21:58) Would You Benefit From A GI Map?(29:47) What Happens After The GI Map---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Do you ever feel like you weren't meant to be here—like you're the unwanted guest at a party? I've felt that most of my life. I'm sharing the shift that pulled me back from the edge: making a violent commitment to living—taking suicide off the table (Plan B) so I could finally go all-in on Plan A. I cover the “burn the ships” mindset, the difference between having a thought and entertaining a thought, and why small coping tips can feel absurd when the pain is massive—plus what to do instead.If you're in crisis (U.S.): call/text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org.

Most people think hard things are hard because they're inherently difficult. But in this episode, we explore a deeper truth: it's the waiting that makes them worse. Based on Seneca's quote, “It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult,” we'll break down how avoidance multiplies fear, how procrastination creates mental mountains, and why courage isn't a feeling — it's a behavior. If you've been putting something off, this episode will help you take the first step — before hesitation turns into self-sabotage.If you're interested in more mindset and health hacks for overwhelmed women, find me on Instagram @jaim91, or head to https://shorturl.at/HC5XO to learn more about the 16 week 3R Method

The Myth of Anxiety with Neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Taylor (Part 1)  The Black Spy Podcast 222, Season 23, Episode 0002 Episode 1 – The Anxiety Myth: What If Everything We Think We Know Is Wrong? Is anxiety really a mental health crisis—or have we misunderstood the entire phenomenon? In this week's Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King and Neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Taylor dismantle the assumptions, narratives and commercial interests shaping our modern understanding of anxiety. Why are anxiety diagnoses skyrocketing in the West while resilience appears to be collapsing? Has society medicalised normal human emotion to the point where stress, fear and discomfort are now rebranded as pathology? Dr. Taylor brings cutting-edge neuroscience to the table, challenging listeners to rethink the brain's threat systems, the role of trauma, and the possibility that anxiety may not be a "disorder" at all but a misinterpreted survival mechanism. Carlton interrogates the political, economic and cultural drivers behind the anxiety industry: who benefits from defining millions as "unwell"? Is the modern world genuinely more dangerous, or have we simply lost the tools to cope? And crucially—if anxiety is not what we've been told—what does that mean for treatment, medication and human agency? This episode asks one radical question: What if anxiety isn't the enemy—but the message? So, please get informed and don't miss these discussions by subscribing to the Black Spy Podcast for free, so you never miss another fascinating episode.

Former Michelle Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz joins us to explore the world of Jewish wisdom she discovered beyond ethnic jokes, bagels, and a vague sense of guilt. She shares how her culturally Jewish upbringing transformed into a deeply learned, joyful identity—and why real Jewish study is essential if we want to withstand modern antisemitism. We trace how 2,000 years of Christian anti-Judaism, Nazi antisemitism, and Soviet anti-Zionism have been funneled into today's leftist campus ideologies—shaping the anti-Israel narratives dominating universities, media, and movements on both the far left and far right. Most people don't even realize they're repeating propaganda from the soviets and nazis. We also cover the idea that every human being is created in the image of God shaped democracy and human rights, and why "the chosen people" is wildly misunderstood, it's a burden of responsibility, not a claim of superiority. Sarah also explains Judaism as a living, evolving interpretive tradition (hello, 2,500 years of commentary and argument), why dissent and chavruta-style debate are sacred. Sarah ends on a surprisingly hopeful note - so listen in to hear her message. 06:30 — Judaism as wisdom, not just religion or holidays 09:00 — Why antisemitism keeps reinventing itself 12:30 — Image of God, equality & the Jewish roots of democracy 15:00 — The title As a Jew and reclaiming identity without apology 18:00 — Internalized antisemitism & the "cultural Jew" problem 21:30 — What Jews actually are: peoplehood, tribe, civilization 24:00 — Campus antisemitism 27:30 — Israel, refugees & dismantling the "original sin" myth 31:00 — Zionism explained (without the hysteria) 34:30 — Qatar, ideology, and what's shaping academia 37:00 — Michelle Obama, "silence," and the problem with performative activism 40:00 — Chosenness redefined: responsibility, not superiority 43:00 — Jewish law evolves: debate, dissent & chavruta 46:00 — How observant is Sarah now?  48:30 — What gives Sarah hope for Jews in 2025 51:00 — Jewish spirituality, bodies, death rituals & chaplaincy 54:00 — Parting wisdom: why Jewish learning is the antidote Topics Discussed: The history of Israel's founding: land purchased at inflated prices, UN partition, war, refugees on all sides and why Israel is not founded on some unique "original sin" Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, and why Palestinians are treated as a unique, multi-generational refugee category in a way that has harmed both Palestinians and Israelis. Qatar's influence and money in U.S. universities and how that has influenced academic discourse on Israel. Why Sarah, as a proud Zionist and proud American, rejects the idea that Jews can't be loyal Americans. What "chosenness" really means in Jewish tradition (spoiler: not racial superiority) The Jewish idea that every person is created b'tzelem Elohim (in the image of God) and how that idea helped shape the moral core of American democracy How chavruta (study partnership) and argument "for the sake of heaven" sharpens thinking and deepens truth—illustrated live in Polina, Yelena, and Sarah's back-and-forth What's next for Sarah https://www.sarahhurwitz.net Check out our website: https://meantforyoupod.com Reach out to us: meantforyoupod@gmail.com Follow us on IG If you enjoyed this episode, you may like these conversations: Our previous podcast with Sarah discussing her first book, Here All Along Brandy Shufutinsky on the Marxist Roots of Ethic Studies Rabbi  Steve Leder, History, Faith , DEI, Ethics, Anxiety and Awe Sophia Khalifa, Bedouin Muslim Israeli Engineer Shares Why She Became an Acivitist for Israel Dumisani Washinton, Pastor, CEO and Author of Zionism and the Black Church Soviet Anti-Semitism with Izabala Tabarosky,  Erin Molan Fearless Reporter and Advocate for Humanity
