Podcast Intro: Many individuals compare some of the long-term side effects people are experiencing to long-term COVID after receiving the vaccine. According to estimates, 30% of those who catch COVID develop a long COVID. But it's an unknown factor.  The countries where glyphosate is widely used are those where it accumulates in crops and enters the food chain. Glyphosate exposure, which we frequently experience, interferes with our immune system's ability to combat the virus. Everyone who received the vaccine is suffering from the same impact. If you have a strong immune system, you can handle the vaccine. Dr. Stephanie Seneff is a senior researcher at MIT and has been working on studies with mRNA vaccines. Today, Cate and Dr. Stephanie will talk about COVID, COVID vaccines, how food affects an individual's immune system, and how glyphosate plays an essential role in agriculture. What you'll get out of tuning in: How to tell the difference between longtail COVID symptoms and vaccine effects How glyphosate disrupts the innate immune system How spike protein starts damage within our body How vaccines make it worse How glyphosate plays an essential role in agriculture How vaccinated people can still shed virus How vaccinations impact fertility How do someone clear heavy periods and massive blood clots Links/CTA: Listen to other podcast episodes: What is Medicine?

It probably does. Through the viruses, once you have and have stress, your immune system is weak, and the viruses come in and take over. The herbs are so important. The American diet kind of ignores those things. It's just potato chips and hamburgers and soy protein bars. Nitrous oxide is 100 times worse than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas.  I think you need to have a healthy immune system if you've got a weak innate immunity. Everything's going to happen slower because you depend upon your immune cells to remove the things that are bad, and it's particularly the spike protein itself.

Podcast Intro: When it comes to climate change, we've all heard about droughts and flooding and the impact on agriculture and infrastructure from extreme weather events such as hurricanes. However, we may not hear as much about climate change's physical and mental health consequences. Natural disasters can negatively impact health and emotional well-being. People who are affected by extreme weather events and slow-moving disasters, such as droughts, face a wide range of challenges in their lives. Mental health repercussions of climate change events include mild stress and anguish, high-risk coping behaviors such as increased alcohol use, and occasionally mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Dr. Lise Van Susteren is an expert on climate change's physical and psychological impacts. She earned her Ph.D. in Geography at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, and has been researching climate change since 2007. She has written several books on the subject, including The Heat Is On: The Science, Politics, and Solutions to Global Warming (2016) and The Climate Crisis: Dispatches from the Front Lines (2017). In this episode, she shares knowledge on climate change, how it affects the health of many people, and what actions we must take to get better.

Podcast Intro: Durga Leela (a spiritual name) is a person in long-term recovery, a certified Ayurveda Practitioner, yoga teacher, and yoga therapist (IAYT certified) from the UK and now based in the US. She has shared Yoga as a Recovery Pathway in several Recovery Conferences over the last 20 years. She has also served as the Director of the Ayurveda Programs at the Sivananda Ashram in California since 2003 and is a professional member of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA). In this episode, she shares her journey of healing and recovery from addiction. She also talks about the issues of Health Care regarding addiction, how she used Yoga to heal from alcoholism, and the emotional and mental health issues surrounding addiction. Personal story being a child of an alcoholic,  becoming alcoholic myself in my teens,  finding yoga in my mid-20s,  a few suicide attempts,  and losing my mother to alcoholism when I was 32 years old.  Shortly after, I was fired from a job I was headhunted into. Then I “did a geographic”— moving from London to Lake Tahoe to take a year off and sort myself out. But “wherever you go, there you are,” and after nine months in the United States, my new life was in shambles. I once again felt desperate, but this time I took myself to a meeting of AA (Alcoholics Anonymous)  18 months sober, allopathic medical professionals offered me antidepressants for their diagnosis of clinical depression Book Yoga of Recovery, Integrating Yoga and Ayurveda with Modern Recovery Tools for Addiction - YoR works with people who have a sex addiction, eating disorders, codependents with no substance abuse, and others where substance abuse is present but it is not the primary presenting issue. I work with people 16–84 years old; those who are members of 12-step programs and those who are not. We offer help to those who want to come off the pharmaceuticals they have been prescribed but find they are now dependent on them. What you'll get out of tuning in: We talk about the roots of the addictive behaviors: the main causative factor is the ego, the idea of having disconnection from spirit, disconnection from life. How Ayurveda is a foundational behavioral health care system that can help people thrive in long-term (emotional) sobriety spread addiction - it's not just about alcohol and drugs! addiction is treated by the acute care model but needs a continuum of care from recovery-oriented systems of care - a chronic care model - and overall CARE rather than CURE which tends to be mainly at the level of pharmaceuticals and surgery - but this does not work so well for problems of addiction article: Ayurveda Journal of Health  I truly believe Ayurveda is the best system of behavioral health care for all modern chronic diseases. sobriety, service, and fellowship (the three pillars of 12-step principles) Addiction is a bio-pscyhosocial-emotional-cultural-economic-political, etc. “character defects” that underlie all addictions—the one that is most ubiquitous being our tendency toward codependency—our ability to see in the other what is wrong but not be able to see or deal with it in ourselves “Svastha”— and addiction UT and “Svastha” This was very interesting to me as it fits with what I'd been told in AA—that addiction was a “spiritual malady” and I was “spiritually sick.” Ayurveda describes all diseases as “forgetting our true nature is spirit.”  Dr. Harikrishnan, Medical Director of Vaidyagram Ayurvedic Clinic in Coimbatore, India, states, "Addiction arises when we lose the purpose of our life. Vedic literature tells us we only get a human birth after several thousand other lives. The purpose of human life is to evolve, to go to a further level. When you have a bigger purpose, this guides you better in how to live each day. PK and recovery to reset cellularly. Dr. Harikrishnan, “We recommend cleansing the body through PanchaKarma-this eliminates the toxins and allows you a break from the circumstances-time away to cleanse and calm down, introduce new practices, change your lifestyle, and feel the effects of the new habits. It takes three months for food to go to the seventh tissue; within three months, our body is completely changed. Hence it is ideal for spending a minimum of six weeks to three months in a staged recovery process.” YoR offers Ayurvedic Pancha karma retreats in India.  Out-of-pocket spending vs. what is covered by gov't or insurance. The first stage is the deep cleanse; the second stage is learning both the principles and tools of Yoga and Ayurveda to help us make better decisions, and the third stage gives time to offer service to the others-the best way to get out of self. This increases confidence and self-esteem and allows us to share the gifts of our recovery with others.

You're the Divine. You are in the seat of the Creator. What are you gonna do with it? And, because you are the Creator, who you are is intrinsically evolution. So you are the whole and you are separate.” (16:39) (Cate) “If we actually look at the habits of modern culture - or what I call conventional culture - the habits of conventional culture leads to chronic inflammation which leads to chronic disease which is the number one killer worldwide.” (24:48) (Cate) “The people who are already turned on got more turned on. There are a few people who are getting turned on who got more turned on. The problem was that the narrative in the media globally was the message that you're the victim of a virus, which is largely known as Germ Theory.” (30:39) (Cate) “These habits that re-wild us are the ones that really turn on our physiology and our neuroplasticity. They're called positive stressor habits. Not all stress is the same. Some stress is when you do the hard thing and that hard thing makes you smarter and more able to do hard things in your life, which really changes the outlook of your future.” (44:39) (Cate) “Urine therapy goes way back. The Buddha talked about it. It's in the three main ancient Ayurvedic texts from about 2,000 years ago. It's one of those things that once you're in the know and you get it, you see the entire world differently.” (1:08:30) (Cate) Resources MentionedYoga Healer Website – https://yogahealer.com/ (https://yogahealer.com/) Cate's LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/cate-stillman/ Cate's Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/yogahealer/ (https://www.facebook.com/yogahealer/) Cate's Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/yogahealer/ (https://www.instagram.com/yogahealer/) Cate's YouTube Channel – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXZuCiGCy6yx8i-DcdQdNng (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXZuCiGCy6yx8i-DcdQdNng) Cate's Podcast: Link to Live Events – https://yogahealer.com/our-events/ (https://yogahealer.com/our-events/) Link to Cate's P Book – https://yogahealer.com/p-book (https://yogahealer.com/p-book) YogaHealer – https://yogahealer.com/podcasts/ (https://yogahealer.com/podcasts/) Cate's Books: https://www.amazon.com/Cate-Stillman/e/B017T8RWAG%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share (https://www.amazon.com/Cate-Stillman/e/B017T8RWAG%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share) Read It Later App –...

Your health and wellness has a big impact on your business and there are a lot of opinions about what being healthy looks like. Social and cultural norms often take precedence, along with quick fixes.   The truth is that change and evolution, both in business and in your health and wellness, take time. This week on the podcast, Cate Stillman is sharing her expertise around integrating changes into business, doing hard things, getting uncomfortable so you can evolve, designing your lifestyle, taking care of chronic issues, and so much more.    What Cate has to say is controversial for many because it goes against everything the masses believe in our culture. But isn't that an even better reason to have this conversation? It's important to open minds to new ideas and ways of doing things and to truly look at the science behind why we feel the way we feel and do the things we do.   I hope you'll tune in with an open mind and think about how you can let go of some of the challenges that might be holding you back. About Cate Stillman: Cate founded Yogahealer in 2001 as an avant-garde dialogue in ancient wisdom for modern humans. The Yogahealer community has depth, span, and breadth. Over 20 years, Cate Stillman has corralled the conversation towards relevance, resilience, rewilding, rewiring & results for modern humans to thrive in their bodies and achieve their life goals.   Cate is an evolutionary thought leader, global tribe builder and author in the field of rewilding humans, orienting towards meaning and purpose, and getting deeply invested in life.

Podcast Intro: A well-functioning immune system protects the body against sickness and infection.  When the immune system fails, it destroys healthy cells, tissues, and organs by mistake. These attacks, known as autoimmune diseases, can damage any region of the body, compromising bodily function and potentially posing a life-threatening hazard.  You can imagine that if your cells are attacking each other, there isn't much balance or harmony in the body, which isn't a good foundation for good health. It requires balance and harmony to function properly. So, how do we give our bodies the balance they require? Tune in as Cate talks about the correlation of autoimmune with habits, and what can you do to target the root cause of this dreaded illness. What you'll get out of tuning in: What are the early symptoms of Chronic Diseases Difference between allostasis and homeostasis in autoimmune Two digestive operating systems on a cellular level Links/CTA: https://yogahealer.com/ Highlights: Cate talks about the ancestor's knowledge that everyone has different body types Cate talks about the dangers of negative bias Cate talks about the inflammation-causing confusion in physiology Timestamps: [05:26] - The Modern Healthcare System  [07:41] - Symptoms of Autoimmune Fatigue [14:47] - Different Body Types [19:01] - Counter Negative Bias with Positive Bias [26:21] - Circadian Rhythm Habits [28:11] - Rewards of the Healing Journey [32:43] - How Diet Affects your Body [39:08] - Fasting vs. Over-eating Quotes: "I also want people with the symptoms of autoimmune where their symptoms without a diagnosis to be able to potentially prevent going down the path of having a scary diagnosis." "The endocrine system is the big communicator of the body. If we understand that the fatty tissue of the body is an endocrine system right then we have to understand that like okay, the stakes are high if we're carrying too much weight." "In terms of personality, people with more Vata, or wind in their type, the lighter type, so they'll naturally be excited, they'll naturally be fun to be around, light-hearted, quick to remember, quick to forget, and quick to forgive."   "It's easy for anybody to feel overwhelmed, and what we need to correlate is that overwhelm is an emotion of inflammation. If we entertain that emotion, meaning we don't do something to change our emotional state, what can happen that can turn the tide of a symptom of autoimmune into a disease of autoimmune." "One of the scariest things about negative bias is it decreases your neuroplasticity. It makes you less able to learn something new. Negative bias to become less capable of diet and lifestyle changes." Guest BIO: Cate Stillman Cate Stillman started Yogahealer.com. She educates wellness professionals on how to have a more significant impact and earn more money while also living their best lives, and she gives thrive-seekers the tools they need to do just that.

Podcast Intro: How would you feel if your doctor diagnoses you with an Autoimmune disease? How would you be able to face that reality? These types of questions are the reality that is faced by many.   Many believe that detoxing and creating a positive environment can help “undiagnosed” their autoimmune disease. Repairing the DNA to reverse the diagnosis might sound like fantasy, but it is true and very possible in Laura's case. Tune in as Laura shares her insights and experience in facing her autoimmune disease. What you'll get out of tuning in: How can you prevent yourself from putting things in your body that won't be going to be any good? How can you do more with less? Are the studies done with diet and lifestyle modifications? What are the habits that work for Laura? What would Laura recommend? Links/CTA: Check out our FREE Workshops Upcoming Live Events Highlights: Cate says that when she is in the group doing a thing, whether it's a challenge, or whether it's the yogi detox, there's this invitation into depth and it feels like a current or it feels like a gravitational pull. Cate always finds with herbal medicine that if you're not getting the effect, increase the dose, increase the frequency, and see what it can do.    Cate shares her interview with Peter where he devoted his life to understanding the community.

Doing that prevented me from putting things in my body that was only good for a minute or two and then they weren't going to be any good later on.” “Connect with as many people as you can and ask questions. The doctor cannot just put all your eggs in one basket.” “It was really finding out from other people who weren't doctors that got me to ask the important questions.”

Podcast Intro: Taking medication is a normal part of many people's daily routine, and these medications are used to treat disease and promote health. Although medications can help you feel better and recover, it is vital to understand that all medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, have risks as well as benefits.   The advantages of drugs are the beneficial results they provide when used, such as decreasing blood pressure, curing infection, or relieving pain. But what are the chances that anything unfavorable or unexpected may happen to you if you utilize them? How can you assess the risks and advantages while deciding which medications to use? How can lifestyle change, diet, and medication help you control chronic diseases? When the advantages of treatment outweigh the known hazards, the FDA considers it safe enough to approve. However, before using any medicine, as with many other things you do on a daily basis, you should weigh the benefits and risks in order to make the best decision for you. What you'll get out of tuning in: The study of drug versus lifestyle changes in patients FDA is mechanized to protect big pharmaceutical companies How drug advertisements are unregulated How drugs are not tested with diets and lifestyle changes for efficacy. What is the placebo effect How wild habits organize you What are the unconventional habits are your best medicine How chronic inflammation is driven by habits The devastating effect of the microbiome that leads to dementia Links/CTA: Upcoming Workshops: Yoga Health Coaching - May 4 Master of You Workshop - May 12 - 13 Body Thrive - May 5 Living Ayurveda Course - June 9 Join Cate's LIVE Workshops: Lisbon Live Event (Lisbon, Portugal) - June 3 - 5 Alta Live Event (Alta, WY) - July 28 - 30 Highlights: Cate encourages listeners to know more about what a particular disease and its chronic symptoms look like so you can make a distinction between chronic inflammation over acute ones Cate discusses that the generational split is around 30% of adolescents 50% of adults 85% of elders who overconsume drugs according to statistics.

There isn't an entire mechanism established in terms of scientific rigor for testing lifestyle changes.” “It just doesn't make sense to me to allow a drug to be advertised as preventing cardiovascular disease. When you have included lifestyle changes as an arm in the study. It's just so crystal clear that the purpose of the study is to sell the drug. It's not to prevent cardiovascular disease.“  “We know why drugs can't get to the root generation of chronic inflammation, but can alter how the body responds to chronic inflammatory habits. But how overdosed are we and does that hinder reversing chronic?” “Humans as a species are drugged at epidemic inflationary rates.” “Because drugs don't sell themselves, the drug makers buy media in the form of advertising, which in the US is largely unregulated.” “Almost half of all ad dollars are centered on prescription drugs to treat chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, and depression.” “The conglomeration of the food industry, advertising industry, Big Pharma and healthcare, and big media make short-term gains for stockholders at the expense of overdosing the population. All these trends are shepherded by the US the trend is global” “Shareholders profit while the species generate the lack of integrity and big picture solutions lead to a physiological and psychological breakdown at the epigenetic and genetic level.” “Drugs cause dysbiosis, promoting more inflammation, hindering digestion, doubling emotional sensitivity, and come with specific unrelated side effects.” “Symptoms of chronic inflammation are meant to force our hand to wake up to develop antifragile habits of resilience.” “Rewiring habits is the way out of the pain cave.” “Wild habits shift your mindset towards the positive so you can preference your future self over your current habits leading to breakthroughs.” Guest BIO: Cate Stillman Cate Stillman is an Ayurvedic practitioner, yoga instructor, and wellness coach with a vision for the future.

Podcast Intro: Meditation helps you be in a state of relaxation. It helps you release the tension that you are feeling. It can bring you awareness and pulsation to your surroundings. When it comes to meditation, you should know what meditation posture you would be doing. It can be sitting, lying, standing, and walking. There are various types of brainwave states. Beta is defined as an old patterning mind. Meanwhile, theta focuses on a person's awake state but not particularly you. In this podcast, Cate will share the process of meditation and the different types of brainwave states.

There's no need to do this right. There's no doing it wrong. There's simply the outside coming in and the inside moving out.” “Allow your awareness to be at the boundary of your skin.” “When humans don't hit deep sleep for long enough, it causes dementia.” “What's hard about sleep deprivation is that it triggers adrenaline addiction” “If we're sleep-deprived, the mind and body are in an adrenaline addiction cycle where it's producing cortisol in greater quantities at the wrong times of the day.” “You're not meditating to have insights and thoughts. That's a different practice.”

I love bringing you behind the scenes of successful businesses so that you've got lots of examples of different ways to build YOUR business. In this week's episode of Rebel Therapist, I'm talking to a healer and entrepreneur who has built a robust ecosystem with high priced offerings. I asked her about how she's developed her offerings, her sales and marketing processes, and how she's scaled back her work hours. Meet Cate Stillman. Cate established Yogahealer.com in 2001, and Yoga Health Coaching in 2012 for wellness professionals. Her books include Body Thrive and Master of YOU. Here's some of what we talked about: Creating a business around yoga health coaching Developing a second branch of her business around business coaching How Cate listens to her people in order to create her curriculum and offers Starting a 2 hour workshop that became a year-long course Using an "intense" sales process Setting high prices Working 20 hours per week outside of her book writing time Her webinar process, from idea to delivery Here are some takeaways that particularly stand out to me: Takeaway #1: Information doesn't equal transformation. What people need and will pay for is a process to help them implement. Cate started with a 2 hour workshop and over time she developed that into a year-long course teaching and practicing habits. Takeaway #2: Think about how long people have to wait to work with you. When developing a program or course, if you set it up that folx can only start once or twice a year, you may be losing a lot of opportunities to work with people. Please don't worry about this when you're creating a new offer. This is something to consider further down the line. Takeaway #3: When you're ready to hire, choose people who are different from you and who have skills and interests different from your own. I'm in my own hiring process right now, and I'm paying attention to this. This means I have to acknowledge what I suck at as well as what I'm great at. It's humbling!

Podcast Intro: Juliet Cullins, a yoga health coach, and Cate discuss what is preventing her from enrolling more people in her coaching group. Some conclusions include more free talks and more social media posts to "put herself out there." Cate mentions using Grant Cardone's 10X rule to exponentially reach her target of 20 new people in the coming year. Cate helps Juliet accept and internalize the positive feedback given to her by her group members. With this confidence, Juliet will be able to integrate her feminine side and overcome her doubts. Her next action steps include asking friends and family to spread the word about free talks and reaching out to ten locations (using the 10X rule) to offer free talks.   What you'll get out of tuning in: How to take actions to drive enrollment for marketing. How to accept positive feedback. How to overcome doubts. How to ask friends and family to spread the word. How to reach out to businesses to do free talks.

I feel like I should be giving them more - I like to send extra emails to them with tidbits, tips, and other info I come across. What is not working: I am not having conversations with others for enrollment into my next quarter in about 6 -ish weeks. I am also not doing free talks right now - although I have been thinking about some topics to do. Have not put that into action. Feeling a little stuck with free talks, social media, and reaching out. Links/CTA: When Getting Leads is Your Zone of Incompetence What is the call to action Be a Coach Link to Image 1 Link to Image 2 Link to Image 3 Highlights: Your doubt is a critical issue, you need to externalize it not internalize it. Cate  If you work backward from the 10x rule it will bring you to more interesting places in life! Cate I just finished my pilot with great results from my members. Juliet Timestamps: [5:59 - 6:35] Cate: “I'm in healthcare and it doesn't feel like healthcare”. [12:52 - 13:35] Cate: “Do you think that trying to enroll 20 people with friends and family is a good tactic?” [25:04- 25:41] Cate: “I would look at a lot of places to do free talks right now.” Quotes: Juliet: My long-term goal is to be a health coach, to help people that want to be helped. Cate: You need to clarify what your goals are in health coaching to clarify your marketing. Cate: What should you be doing that you're not doing? Cate: This is the benefit of the Body Thrive habits, you learn to live in your body and do cool things. Juliet: I'm hesitant to totally step away from my job in the western medical field right now.

Have you ever had a story that needed to be told and heard? We at Yogahealer believe experiencing certain stories can be very special, something happens when you tell it genuinely. Our brain and the nervous system evolved in response to a story deeply embedded in the structure of our psyche, including the structure of our nervous system. So there appears to be an intense desire for narrative in humans. In this episode of Yogahealer Podcast, our host Cate Stillman talks about Rewilding, Conversing Stories with other People, and the Power of Funerals. Cate has guided a global online triad to thrive in their bodies while achieving their life goals through innovative yoga and Ayurvedic teachings since 2001.  What you'll get out of tuning in: What is Ayurveda?

[18:30] What happens in Stories [19:43] Absorbing the Energy of Nature [21:48] Getting Comfortable with a Familial Atmosphere [23:28] Storytelling with Elders [25:52] The Power of Practice Quotes: “Health is your birthright and that there's a lot more free solutions to thriving in your body and in your lives than you might have.” “There's often a sense of the story that needs to be told. And when we tell it, authentically something lands. “You can't be separate from your ecosystem and your ecosystem can't be separate from you.” “A lot of what happens with stories is that we're taking someone on a journey with us.” “The more we tell stories, the better we get at storytelling.” Guest Bio: Cate Stillman is the Founder of Yogahealer.com.

In this podcast, Cate Stillman, fearless leader and founder of Yoga Health Coaching, Body Thrive, Living Ayurveda, Yogi Detox, and Master of You, discusses the importance of rewilding your life. Cate talks about good and bad bacteria, gut microbiomes, and how to upcycle your pee for optimal health.

In this podcast, Anna and Ashley talk about Ashley's journey to self-healing and her future as a Yoga Health Coach. Ashley has opted to take a break after successfully teaching a pilot group for over a year to examine her own healing. Recognizing that she wasn't always feeling in line with her own advice to her group, she's now attempting to create greater space to be more in tune with her own self-discovery path. Going deeper on her path to self-psychology, Ashley has a pattern of not asking for help and not speaking up. She also has some fear about getting involved in a leadership role again.

She now works with her students that are all inspiring individuals working towards living out their own dharma. She helps them to align with nature's rhythms, to deeply trust their own intuition, and pass down this wonderful wisdom map of Ayurveda.

My guest today is Nancy Wind, the powerhouse behind Peaks And Poses, a company that guides people outdoors for trail yoga, hiking, backpacking and other adventures. Nancy is also a health coach who’s been teaching plant-based cooking and has built a wellness program, called Power UP, around Ayurvedic principles.Nancy’s practices focus on the interplay of the mind, body, and spirit, which has resonated more with me as I get older and often feel like I’m falling apart at the seams! Let’s just say I’ve been forced to pay closer attention to all three of those components, especially with all the added stressors that the pandemic has thrown our way. So it brings me great pleasure to speak with Nancy, since she brings her positive energy, encouragement, and sense of adventure to everything she does under the Peaks and Poses umbrella.Nancy has already inspired me to venture out to new trails close to home, and plan big adventures in previously overlooked places - any other Massholes out there interested in an end-to-end traverse of Blue Hills Reservation later this winter?!?You, too, can get more inspiration from Nancy and learn more about her PowerUp Coaching Program by following Peaks and Poses on the web, Instagram and Facebook.And it’s not too late to tag into the last few sessions of Nancy’s New Year Rejuvenation & Renewal Workshop - the last two sessions are Feb. 7th and 14th at 10am - contact Nancy through her website for details!More links from our fascinating conversation:New England Over 40 Hiking MeetUp groupWelch Dickey LoopCannon Cliffs13 Falls TentsiteMt.

Cate Stillman founded Yogahealer.com in 2001, a one million plus revenue a year business. Cate is a leader and author in the field of Ayurveda, Peak Performance, and Habits (titles: Body Thrive; Master of You); podcaster with two million downloads, and global community builder. She runs Yogahealer with her remote team (10 contractors + 40 work studies), so she can ski, surf, and run rivers with her family in the Tetons and Mexico. What you'll learn about in this episode: Cate Stillman's healing journey with Yoga and Ayurveda How Yoga and Ayurveda are intertwined in the path to enlightenment Why it is critical to have proper teaching and guidance to benefit from Yoga and Ayurveda How to fulfill yourself on a soul-level How the healing process of Ayurveda works What Cate has done to overcome doubt and shatter her limiting beliefs Resources: Website: https://yogahealer.com/peak-performance/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cate-stillman/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/yogahealer Twitter: @yogahealer  Health and Clarity Through Ayurveda Cate Stillman is an innovative teacher and wisdom leader of Ayurveda, Peak Performance, and Habits. She founded Yogahealer.com in 2001 and Yogahealthcoaching.com in 2012 to provide a full range of introspective resources for coaches and students alike. She is also the author of “Body Thrive” and “Master of You.” In this episode of the Intentional Greatness podcast, Cate joins us to share her healing journey with Yoga and Ayurveda and explains how you can embark on your own journey. Developmental Consciousness Cate was initially drawn to Yoga because of her interest in developmental consciousness. She discovered that the more conscientious a person is of their bodies, the more conscientious they become of their ecosystem. Their sphere of care moves beyond themselves as they discover the path to enlightenment and radiant longevity. But that path is long and tenuous. You have to be comfortable in your body to harness the full spectrum of benefits these practices have to offer. Fulfill Your Soul There are a lot of languages and tools that can help us take on a holistic perspective in life. This is immensely important because if you don't fulfill yourself on the soul-level, a lot of other parts of your life are going to suffer as a result. A lot of people don't necessarily see that connection because it is nearly impossible to develop spiritual languages and roadmaps without proper teaching and guidance. Through the creation of Yogahealer.com, Cate has been able to make these teachings more accessible and easier to learn.

However, it wasn't until college — when she was introduced to yoga and yoga philosophies — that she found a health practice that really stuck and worked for her. When she graduated from college, her interest in yoga grew. At that time she was building solar farms and would work well over 50 hours a week. One day, on her way home from work, she discovered a yoga studio just off the highway and figured, rather than sitting in traffic, she could go to a yoga class for an hour. This practice aligned her mind, body and emotions. Lisa's well-being flourished and her career goals shifted. She realized that she needed to share the shifts she was experiencing and expanding into. It was in this very yoga studio that Lisa discovered Ayurveda for the first time.  After going through her yoga teacher training in 2016, Lisa made the commitment to pursue her certificate as an Ayurveda Health Counselor. She is now on a journey to help other women feel better than they ever thought possible.

In this podcast, we're going to talk about dietary fats and what type of fat your body thrives on. Short-chain fatty acids These are made from fiber. They feed the colon cells, potentially decrease the risk of cancer, and can help with insulin resistance. Medium-chain fatty acids MCT oil is an example of medium-chain fatty acids. Medium-chain fatty acids don't require bile to be absorbed. This can be a great source of fat for fuel if a person doesn't have enough bile. Long-chain fatty acids These fats provide fuel and certain elements for structural parts of the body, and they also provide essential fatty acids. A few examples of long-chain fatty acids would be: • Animal fat • Butter • Coconut oil • Palm oil • Vegetable oils • Nut oils • Omega-3 fatty acids Omega 6 Fatty Acids: https://youtu.be/iXXBwBMtGmQ Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.

This episode's guest is a fountain of knowledge and wisdom—a strong and motivated healer and coach, Cate Stillman. Cate has inspired a lot of the paths that Alex took throughout her journey. She founded Yogahealers, a community of people wanting to live their unique greater purpose, in 2001 where she met Alex later in 2015. This episode gives a nosy insight into what made Cate pivot from being the privileged, young American girl who took counterculture steps to help other people and how these bits and pieces of experience and learnings propelled her forward a non-unilateral journey. As a teenager, Cate woke up to her privilege, and as a global citizen, she woke up to what was going on in the ecosystem of our planet. To her, the brighter part of that privilege is to have the opportunity to understand what's going on right now. And most importantly, to have wanted to change the game as against the fact that not many people who had the same privilege want to do something about these problems. Instantly, there was a deep alignment to making a difference to being part of the solution and not the problem for her. And Cate was aware that doing so will require her to step up and step away from the I-me-my conundrum. Cate's path seemed to have always been carved out, but from the inside out. She always knew what she wanted to pursue—the ground of being. But it was never a straight path either. Like anyone else, Cate had struggled with her body and asthma, symptoms of Kapha which were resolved altogether along her critical issues through the full acceptance of her constitution, something she now shares and helps people with. Her take: surround yourself with people who are where you want to be next. It's mission-critical. Because otherwise, you will end up taking advice from and being influenced by people who haven't gotten where you want to go. But this conversation around a successful journey also travelled the nuances of waking up into our ecosystem's reality and the self in this ecosystem. To Cate, it's like sleepwalking, and the pain of waking up is like the same painful conversation around this reality. But this pain evolves just like grieving stages—from despair, anger, denial to acceptance. The more important thing is we see through it to live our deeper dreams finally. Cate's piece of advice: Honour your deeper dream. Do it. You have it for a reason. It's there to guide your life.

This brought me to yoga and Ayurveda. - Cate Stillman Part of accepting my own privilege was accepting that I could probably do what I wanted and figure how to make it happen. There was a very strong sense of dharma. I’ve always been interested in bigger solutions and I constantly surround myself with people who are big-picture thinkers. - Cate Stillman For people who see the potential, it's a fight. There's a lot of ignorance to overcome. Yogis are clear about overcoming ignorance, waking up from sleepwalking. But with all the distractions around like devices, it's harder than ever. - Cate Stillman I was looking for the truth. I was looking at how humans can become more conscious. From that lens, Ayurveda becomes second to none. I just pressed on. I knew I had a very high quality of life but not a lot of money. I was more interested in knowledge and wisdom than material riches. - Cate Stillman People are not really taking the time to digest their critical issues. If we're not doing that, we're not really creating a good strategy. There has to be a lot of coming up against your own insufficiencies to do what you actually want to do next. That's real. And it doesn't feel good. There's a level burn but when you're there, you're going to get used to it. - Cate Stillman We might be going down a path that is not filled with the money but is a path that makes us totally happy and is synced with everything leading to greater liberation. We need to be in surround-sound with people who have done what we want to do. - Alexandra Kreis The truth of what I always wanted is that I want to be a spokesperson for the possibilities of living a life where you really thrive, that there is a good in us through and through and I want to become that more and more. I want to go through all the pathways and to be led more. - Alexandra Kreis Master of You: Achieving bigger goals and a life of purpose. Once people have met their material needs, checked their boxes of material goals, they really get on with a much bigger vision of impact.   Guest BIO: Cate Stillman is the founder of Yogahealer.com.

Things will have changed at home.” - Cate Stillman “When you have these lighter liquid diets, it frees up energy for digestion.” - Cate Stillman “I really like miso soup because it’s simple. I’m obviously not having it for every meal but it’s super easy, especially with a little bit of nori on top. It’s easy also to integrate into my families’ meals because they can add whatever they need to.” - Rachel Peters  “My first book on Body Thrive is how to eat earlier at night, be done eating sooner. Go to bed early, wake up, hydrate, eliminate, meditate. Do breathe body practices. This is the recipe. And for those of you who have been in Body Thrive, for those of you who’ve been living Dinacharya, you get to really tap into the recipe and go deeper and have more time and eat lighter and feel more intuition. And what you find in this process is that you fall more deeply than ever in love with yourself. And not in a narcissist way. It’s consciousness merging with matter and matter merging with consciousness. And when you experience that, you are naturally led to that which is your medicine.” - Cate Stillman

In helping people name their deepest fear and longing, as well as supporting them in the work of transmuting it, I live my Dharma or higher purpose. I am deeply grateful for the courage and grit people demonstrate in pursuing this work and for their willingness in allowing me to be part of their reclamation!   Serving as a therapist and addictions counselor for over a decade, my life's work is helping people unscrew themselves and create meaningful change. I offer individual and group coaching services through a synthesis of Holistic Psychology, Ayurveda, Healing Arts, and the most current science in sustainable habit formation.

Each of us is worthy and capable of robust health, self-expression, and mental ease-now let's make it happen!

Why detox? Improved digestion, restful sleep and clear skin is the tip of the iceberg. Tune into the podcast with Cate and Rachel Peters to find out what detox is and when to do it.   What you’ll get out of tuning in: What detox is. Why feeling hunger is key to satiation. When to detox. Show Highlights: Cate reflects on how our ancestors lived. Cate describes true hunger. Softening ama. Favorite Quotes: “Imagine back when, you lived closer to the earth, and you were perhaps sleeping on the earth in a little hut. And outside were all the plants you were using to feed your body. There were times of winter and times of summer, there were times of scarcity and times of abundance. Your body would naturally move into those times of scarcity. And in times of scarcity when you’re taking in less food and your atmosphere is one that’s more barren than full, you have the experience of the opposites. So part of the problem now is whenever you go into WholeFoods, it’s abundant! There’s always strawberries, like always. There’s always blueberries. And so we have to create what seems like an artificial experience of barreness or a season of scarcity so that we give our organs a freakin’ break.” - Cate Stillman “Most people I work with in Body Thrive have lost the feeling of true hunger. And there’s a disconnect between the feeling of true hunger being the only path to true satiation.”  - Cate Stillman “When you’re emptiness, you’re full of possibility.” - Cate Stillman “The body is smart and the mind is smart and the soul is smart. And I radically believe in the intelligence of you, of your organism and your mind-body-soul configuration. I believe if you give yourself the opportunity to release that which it wants to, so the body will release what it wants to, the liver will release what it wants to, the colon will release what it wants to, the arteries will release what it wants to.” - Cate Stillman “When we’re not so busy, when our bodies are not so busy digesting the food that we’re putting in, we create the space to digest the other things that we’ve distracted or pushed to the side.” - Rachel Peters

Transcript: I'm so excited to welcome Cate Stillman of yoga healer. So you are an author of body thrive. You're the founder of yoga healer and yoga health coaching. You founded in 2001 you have a podcast called yoga healer. There's one and a half million podcast downloads. You've got a community and 194,000 YouTube views and 35 a hundred community members. Kate, welcome to the show. Can you tell me more about your backstory? How did you get here? Oh Yeah. So I came, I came into my path that at yoga healer, which is all based on personal and planetary thrive. So we look at both, you know, people thriving but also our planet thriving. I came, I came into yoga healer into AyurVedic medicine and yoga from international environmental politics and policy. I'm particularly focused on global warming, so I have a different story into, into yoga, that and into wellness. Then a lot of my than a lot of my colleagues, I really came from a, a global public policy background. And I was looking at how, you know, how can I make the biggest difference in my lifetime to leave the planet in a better place? Then I was finding it. And basically what happened is in policy, I quickly came to the place of frustration of bureaucracy and wanted to look at how do we help humans become more conscious? And that's what really brought me into your Veda. Yeah. So let's back up for a second. When you were growing up, did you grow up in a spiritual household or what was that like for you? Cause it sounds like it, it sounds like two polar opposites, when in reality they're probably more intertwined. We just don't connect the two. So I'd love to hear more about your interest in and political policy or global policy and the spiritual. How did that awaken for you? Yeah, I think it was like, you know, it was Many ways the opposite of growing up in a spiritual household. Like I grew up in an atheist household and very, you know, very based in the material reality of, of the world. And I met, I met my first spiritual teachers in high school working trail crew in the national forest out out West. And I was volunteering my time to and living in the wilderness wilderness areas, like literally wilderness areas rebuilding trails. And I, and I met people that had, you know, very educated in terms of global public policy, had that perspective and really woke me up to, you know, what the planet, what the situation was with the planet and what the situation was with people in public policy. And so it was really in high school and then going back East, I was raised as competitive East coast gal. I'm in sports and academics and all of the, all of the things. And I was able to really see the materialistic culture that I had been pretty much bought into. You know, and even in terms of how medicine works, I had a lot of health issues. Even though I was very athletic and very in shape as a kid, I had migraines, I had constipation, I had allergies that were pretty severe. So I was in and out of out of allopathic doctors offices my entire childhood. And didn't really interface with holistic medicine until I got my, you know, until after my, if you will eco spiritual awakening and starting to look at like, wait, what is the relationship between all things? What is the relationship between my experience and my body and, and my inputs, including, you know, including people, including food, including beliefs, including, you know, all the things. And that's really, that really helped steer me more towards a lifetime of, of helping people thrive. Where was that moment that it clicked on for you? Did something happen or did you meet a spiritual teacher that, that awakened you? Cause I feel like there is an awakening that's happening now where people are starting to realize that their chronic illnesses could be because of what they've eaten. And it may not be their fault, it's just what's been around. So it has never been connected until now where I think it's a little more readily available or accessible in terms of putting that together. So what was that like for you? Yeah, I mean, I remember reading fit for life in high school. So coming back from my work in the forest service and, and reading, you know, just starting to get that connection between food as plant-based guy. What's, what's his name? Yeah. I mean fit for life was like just, it was really a lot about plant based diet and yeah, and it was, I mean, it's not even like, you know, in retrospect there's so many better books now. Fast forward, you know, 40 years there's, there's better books now I would say about, you know, just helping people understand seasonal eating and, and understanding the connection between your local ecosystem and your health and how being connected is actually one of the factors. You know, and for me in terms of like, what was it, I think it was probably just a series of, it was a series of events. Then in high school I became part of a group called mass hope. It was, I was in Massachusetts and the hope stands for high schools organized for protect the earth. So as soon as I was, you know, in a way activated or turned down, I started, and I believe this is very, anyone listening is gonna understand this. You know, it's like as soon as you're wanting to make a change to hang out with other people who are actually making that change, it change. That's the change. It changes everything because then you're the world of higher level thinking in the world of problem solving and the world of ideation and you're less in the world of victim mindset of, Oh, all this is happening to me. Whether it's health symptoms or whether it's the current state of politics or the current state of a ecological health. Did you feel like you were in the victim mentality or did you feel like you were always more of a doer? Yeah, I think in terms of how I was raised with standard American diet, which is not a living foods diet, it's not an ecologically connected to your ecosystem diet to say the least. And being in and out of allopathic doctors offices, which were basically like, you can take a pill, you can have allergy shots. One of my nicknames growing up was the pill popper thanks to my dad giving me that name. So I think I was in a not, you know, in an unconscious victim mindset as, as a kid and as a teen before I really you know, started to educate myself in terms of is there another way? I mean, and again, that was the 80s, so that was, it was a different climate then then now literally pre-internet, right? So you can't just like Google holistic headaches and get some clues. Like I didn't know until I was pretty deep into our, your Vedic medicine in my twenties. I didn't understand from a daily habit, embodiment perspective, how my headaches were linked to constipation and how to deeply cure my constipation. So in our body thrive course, like habit number three, start the day, right? We teach, we teach, we basically teach people how to become pooping champions because it's such a huge problem in the West. I often cite the stat that, you know, like the number one medicinal tea is smooth move the number one selling medicinal tea. And that tells us that people are not having complete elimination, which means we're bringing waste into our day. So even if we're taking all the right supplements, but we're constipated, we're not going to get the level of absorption from the supplements. We're basically not flushing money down the toilet is one way to look at it, but we're not actually getting to the root of the issue. So it did take me, you know, quite a while to connect the dots. It's an evolution for sure. And it's funny, on a personal note, I am plant-based for this month. So I am a, I'm trying it and I am a Pooping champion. Like I am so gassy and I'm like, I don't know if this is healthy or not, but I, God, it's a, it's, it's been a, it's been interesting. I'm trying to figure out if, if this is okay or not, but yeah, so far so good. Yeah. I mean in looking at, in our your Veda, we look at, you know, things like gas is like there's a, there's usually a lack of absorption with that or there's a level of like your digestive fire not adjusting to your new. The other thing is like some people digest beans a lot better than, than others. Just depending on your heritage. Like what did your ancestry eat? So there can be, there can be a lot, there can be a lot to it. So interesting. I think what's, what's fascinating about everything you're talking about is so complex but also connected. And I'm wondering what is your mission? Yeah, I mean it's been, I mean it's all based on personal and planetary thrive. So at yoga healer we have a number of different ways of, of helping people. So the way we always start with everybody is body thrive. So it's like, let's dial in your habits. So these are the habits of yogis. These are the habits that build resilience and adaptability. It's how can, how can we actually get reset into universal rhythms and circadian rhythms? How can we actually go with the flow of what our bodies are designed to do and how they're designed to feel. And that's counter culture. And that's the sticky hard thing, right? It's like the habits are earlier, lighter dinner, so you don't overload your digestion at night. Then early to bed, which is easy to do if you haven't had too many calories later in the day, you'll naturally get tired. A lot of people have issues with early to bed just because it tech addiction, right? So then we get to look at that head on the third habit to start the day, right? The hydrating and eliminating. And people don't realize that we can retrain our body into, into these habits, breath, body practices before you eat, that you actually wake in your pronic body or your energy and physical body and and get ready for the day. So we create a lot of space before going into the day. And then there's, there's six other habits that follow that. There's, these are just like the most basic habits. A yogis in yoga philosophy. It's called Dina Charia. It's the daily cycle. So if someone's in line with the daily cycle, what happens is they start to experience resilience and adaptability. The resilience enables them to do a lot more than they were able to do. Like their immune system is strong, they have surplus of energy. The adaptability is being able to actually take a few hits, take a few punches from life if you will, and be able to adapt to what the situation needs. Whether that's travel, whether that's an unexpected illness or death or you know, some massive trauma that happens. There's an ability to adapt to the situation. So once, once our members have that, then they go onto a much I say more interesting path because I personally find that like a lot of people get stuck in the never ending health cycle when they get quite narcissistic. If I can call a spade a spade where it's like I'm in that zone, that narcissistic zone, like how do I look? Right? How do I feel? And, and that's a never ending cycle because I mean yoga has this great teaching of like wherever you place your awareness that will expand. So if you just continually put your awareness on your own health, you, you can become in, you know, just like increasingly to the nth degree more or less like obsessed with personal health. But the problem is that doesn't actually lead to a fulfilling life. There's more to life than how you looking how you feel. It's a really good baseline to check the box off and say, do I have the automated habits to thrive? If so, yes, check that box off, keep doing those habits and you'll be just fine. Now you can get onto life purpose and that's where my second book, which is releasing March, 2020 a master of you comes in is like how do you, how do you attune to a much bigger life, like a much bigger life purpose, a bigger Dharma, a bigger sense of your ambition. Like what are you here to do in this lifetime? Like, let's get on that and work through a systematic process with, with the five elements, with your space or your home, with your body or Earth's element with your fire or your ambition with your time or your air element. And then with your integrity and flow, which is water element. And you know, basically see what you can see, what you can do. So I felt, I feel like what you're talking about is really resonant. Like it sounds like such a utopian state to be able to be grounded in the earth to, you know, be conscious about what to eat to make an impact outside of yourself by taking care of yourself and helping others. So it sounds like a very profound plan. Can you talk a little bit about yoga healer? Cause on your website it talks about it's, you guys do yoga teacher training, you know, who signs up for things like this. How do you track these people? Cause I think I think the community that you started to leave less of a carbon footprint, you know, and being very cognizant about, you know, eating from the earth and eating things that aren't processed and having a more fulfilling sustainable life. I want to understand a little bit more about who is yoga healer for and, and I, I also would like you to define Dharma and I are Veda. Yeah, Right. Good. Let's go back to the beginning. I, you means life and Veda is, is to study or to live the wisdom. So it's the living wisdom tradition. So that's what are your Veda means. And it's the healing science that Koa Rose with. Yoga is inseparable from the path of yoga. And it's from the ancient Indus Valley in Northern India. And it's evolved over thousands and thousands of years. Some people will give you a 5,000 year timeframe. Other people will say, well, the prebate is, that goes back to 8,000 years. So it's based on a culture that was like, I like to say hell bent on enlightenment. Like what is an awake life? What is a like, what is possible for a human being. And that's if we look over time, this dedication to living in alignment with the cosmos. So it's, it's big, it's big. It's like, you know, it goes right directly into spirituality, like to live in alignment with the cosmos that created you. There's things within, there's mechanisms within the human mind, body, spirit awareness that let us know if we're aligned and let us know when we're out of alignment. I mean, I just invite every listener right now. Like you could create a quick list of three things that you've done in the last 24 hours that are in alignment with your life purpose or with your Dharma. Even if it was like, I drank enough water today. Like check, right? And you can also write a list of three things that you've done that are totally out of alignment, right? And we can all do that and we can all continually do that because there's a sense of continual refinement. We can continue to evolve. Potentiality is a moving target. So you never actually arise. Like the next level becomes reveal. Those, you're halfway through this level, you start to see the next horizon. And that's, you know, to me so much of what the Ayurvedic path is. It's, it's not just about health, it's about enlightenment. And then as far as the word Dharma, the roots of Dharma are in Dar in our duty and in responsibility. The roots of the word have a lot to do with cast actually from India of like if you were born into this caste, you had certain duties and certain responsibilities. A lot of the concepts from yoga, they change with time, right? The deeper meaning transforms as, as humans evolve. And so now that we're in like a post caste system Dharma, like what is your duty? Like, what is your responsibility? And I'll speak to that for just a moment. So I was born into a, I would say an upper middle class household. We didn't spend frivolously at all, but we had means and resources most of which were dedicated to education. That was the philosophy of, of my house. So I always had access to fantastic education. If not world-class. And that was the emphasis. So I feel a certain level of responsibility and duty based on what I, I just, I mean, I didn't step into this life starving in Africa and with the AIDS virus, right? Like me, I stepped into this life into an educated household where the priority was education. And there was plenty of financial means to, to pursue that. And because of that, there was always, always access to be able to make money in the marketplace in meaningful ways. So I feel a certain responsibility in my life to be of service to humanity rather than like, I could have become a stockbroker. You know, cousins, he's worked on wall street finance for the last 30 years. He just retired. I'm like, I could have gone that way. I could've gone that too, but I didn't, you know. And that to me is, was part of my Dharma of just recognizing like, Hey, I've had, I've had certain breaks from day one, like, let me fulfill my duty to, to respond, right. Responsibility to respond in a way that is deeply meaningful to those who my life will touch. I think that's so, it's funny cause I have a seven year old son and I talk to him every night and talk about you were given a purpose, but I am talking out of my ass like, you know, your job is to figure out what that purpose is and live, you know, and, and be of service to others. But I have no idea what it is. It just sounds really good. And yeah, I'm trying to be a good mom and trying to raise conscious children. I've got a four year old girl and a seven year old boy. So I, I love that you are putting words or articulating a concept. And one of the things that I noticed about your podcast from some of the episodes that I learned, I really like, I don't think it might've been released today, but the one about stress and sleep that was really powerful. And I think that's some of the concepts that you talk about and talk with experts on are very practical. And very relatable, especially with sleep apnea or people that are, you know having issues with sleep or that teenagers need nine and a half hours of sleep. And the reason why they're suffering or of technology addictions have everything to do with something as simple as sleep. You know, so it seems like very simple principles if I'm understanding what you're putting out into the world, you know, but you give some practical advice to be able to do that. And I'm wondering, one thing that you you, I, I wrote down from, from your talk, you said don't underestimate the power of belonging. And I thought that was so freaking profound, you know of communities. So I want to understand your role in building a community and teaching others how to build their own community out to make their own impact. Cause that is like the superpower, Kate. Mmm. Yeah. So who do, who are we most aligned with? Like, one of the things that I look at all the time is, you know, especially with my course members is they often know what, what they want to do, but they don't, they don't know how to do it. Right? Yeah. And so when we look at that, there's this, there's this how to do it and then there's also an a, an efficiency. So that's the effectiveness, how to do it. And then it's like how to do it efficiently. Like how to get there more quickly. That becomes really important in what, that's when you start to focus on those things. Like there's actually a community of people moving in that direction and there's already leaders and guides that have done that journey. And that's always true. Like we're never really the first one. I mean, I might, I think it was like the first are your Vedic podcaster, right? But I wasn't the first podcaster and even the first podcast or wasn't the first person having a radio show. And even the first person having a radio show wasn't the first person with a message that had that had a fan base around the message. Like that goes way, I mean the, in the yoga tradition that goes back thousands and thousands of years of like the guru sitting and, and, and giving teachings, right? And so it's like you're never really the, you're never really the first on. And when we have that perspective, it's like, who's already, who's, who's at exactly the vibration that if I tune into that, I'm going much forward, much faster on the how to do what needs to actually get done. So it's like the what to do and then the how to do it efficiently. And if we tune into the community that's already going there, boy, a lot happens quick. So for instance, in yoga health coaching, that's, that's our global professional community of wellness pros, both from yoga and our, your Veda, but also nurses and doctors and body workers, nutritionists, personal trainers, mental health therapists. Like it goes on and on. So anyone who's like, I'm here to help other people thrive and becomes a member of that course. There's a few components to that course and we're really clear before someone enrolls with these components are in terms of like where you'll end up at the end of it and there's a big component on how to have a lucrative lifestyle, like how to make a great living and take great care of yourself. So there's a whole business model components, so say someone wants that, we're really clear, like if you get in this community like that's, we're hitting all edges of that conversation, all sides of the puzzle, all the edges of that conversation. And so you won't feel awkward talking about how to double your income as a wellness pro in this community. That's totally normal for us. Now we're also going to talk about efficacy, like how do you get your members to results faster? How do you get people healthier faster. And then we're also going to talk about groups about how people change faster and groups then one on one. So if you want to leverage double dynamic groups model, if you want to lucrative lifestyle, and if you're curious about yoga and Ayurveda, and you resonate with me because I'm kind of, you know, I'm the one wearing the ringleader hat, then you're going to love this. And that's a tribe. That's a community. So we know how to do it. You know, we know what to do. We know how to do it, and it will enable someone to just be in that. It's like a, to me, it's like a container. It's like a crockpot. And for anyone who makes fermented foods, I love in my house, we're always preventing sauerkraut or kimchi or jots or, or whatnot. I'm a huge fan of culture. And, and if you want to understand culture, start creating food cultures, and you'll start To understand how a food culture is not Just the ingredients that you put in. It's not just salt and water and cabbage. Sauerkraut is different than salt and water and cabbage. It's a living probiotic organism onto itself that heals the human microbiome. And that's really what a dynamic group can be. So if someone's like [inaudible] Oh my gosh, I love this conversation. That's your radar tuning into the community because there's a gazillion communities out there, but like one are you like, wow, this, this lights me up on all levels. And it makes me think new and better thoughts. So one of the things that you say, I think it's right in the beginning of the podcast and I think you are maybe talking about yoga health coach or some of the yoga health cold calls, the free calls that you have. And you said something that really resonated where you say and I'm totally paraphrasing, I'll probably butcher it, but you said you know, you ever have those conversations that you remember there are so impactful that they change not only your perspective, but you start to change your behavior. And that is like, that's the magic right there. And Cate, I don't know if you know this, but you are endlessly fascinating and I'm wondering, I told my husband, yeah, please do. So I'm wondering, I have to go back on this, that you started this yoga healer in 2001 I think it's becoming more normalized now, but you must've been like a freak show to other people in 2001. What was it like kind of being the, you know, with your ring leader hat and then screaming out where, you know, people are going, this girl's crazy, where now they're like, wow, she knew what she was talking about. So what is it like kind of blazing your own trail where there isn't so much of a path there yet? Yeah, it's such a good question. I mean, when I tap back into it, there was, I was in San Francisco in 2000 going back and forth between aryuveda school and in yoga school and I was in two, two year programs. So yoga teacher training in 2000 was not a weekend workshop. It was a two year program. And so there was this depth of, of seriousness of like the Sadika of the true practitioner. That was very in ingrained in San Francisco, which was really the hub of teacher training in the United States at the time. And what I saw and the more, actually I understand, I think this might be helpful to Alison for just everyone listening. It's like the more you understand who you are, the more you understand your personality profile. So I really recommend everyone take like five personality tests who just understand who you are. Cause once I, once I understood that it all made sense. So I'm really high in innovator creator, futurist. Like those things always come up but I didn't know that in 2000 I was just like why is everyone paying attention to the wrong thing? And that's what I was also like in my teen years and environmental activism. I was like why is everyone paying attention to fashion or like the next pair of like whether it's baggy jeans or skinny jeans or whatever instead of like we're destroying the planet. Hello, let's wake up to this. So the more I understood that, like my awareness actually is very, very future oriented. So I was looking at like my unborn children's children right back in the 80s when I was a teenager because my awareness just is very future forward. My ability to innovate. The way that intersected with growing yoga healer was that I found there was a faster, better way to teach people Ayurveda and, and yoga. And so I, I didn't know at the time that I was a curriculum creator, but I started creating my own curriculums when I was only a year into both schools. I just started like, I was like, there's a workshop, like someone's got to teach this work that like why hasn't anyone taught this workshop yet? And I was sort of blown away and I'd say like anyone who's like blown away by what hasn't happened yet, like that's your Dharma is to make that happen. So I started teaching these two hour workshops, daily routines of a Yogi to yoga in yoga studios in San Francisco in 2000 and when I found was like, it mostly attracted wellness pros, it mostly attracted yoga teachers and body workers and you know, people that were doing Chinese medicine. And doing yoga at the time or was it an evolution? Yeah, no, I was, yeah, I was, I was in, I was in yoga teacher training at the time that the Iyengar yoga Institute. Yeah. And so I, I mean arguably like yeah, I was in those communities and that's who was turned on to it. But that's who's always been kind of turned on to Ayurveda in the U S as the yoga people and tell lately. And now it's like the spa people. So if you do like SEO research in Ayurveda, which we do at yoga healer, I'm like, Ayurveda and massage comes up, which is a really different target audience than people who are really interested. Interestingly enough. And understanding Ayurveda how do you, how do you measure success? Oh, that's a good question. So one, like one of my coaches, he's always like, what does winning look like? What does winning look like? And it's, it's very holistic, right? So in he was in my office a week ago. This is brilliant, like very huge scale businessman and, and you know, he, when he looks at me, he's like, you're so, you're such an amazing integrity. He works with, he works with entrepreneurs from all over the world and he's like, you're so in integrity and lifestyle. And he's like, and I get that like winning for you looks really different than like, you know, 99% of the CEOs I work with. And so for me, winning, it's, you know, it's a 30 hour work week. It's working from home. I have a global remote team. I eat all my meals at home. I, with my, you know, with my husband, with my daughter, my husband was just home for lunch. We had lunch an hour ago and I'm just I'm just around. So winning for me is, has a lot to do with family and lifestyle. My mom lives a mile down the road. I would go cross country skiing with her after we're done podcasting. So I've created idyllic life, my ideal and I believe we all have the possibility to do that. Many people don't do what it takes to make that happen. Whereas I'm very specific and strategic and that's what master review does in that book and the course that goes with it. Awake living is helping people actually use strategy to live their ideal life. And then on the business side, because business is a huge part, like I'm a, I'm an entrepreneur, I'm a CEO, I'm, I'm the head coach at yoga healer. I mean we have a huge target this year of doubling. We grew last year, we were up by the end of year about 40% over last year. This year we want to go 100% larger, which is significant because I'm already in like top 2% of us women business owners. So I set big targets but I'm continually using parade as principal. Like what are the, what are the 20% of things that are driving the results and I'm ruthless with when things have to change. Like we had to reschedule calls cause we have powder right now and I'm in the mountains and my ski house. Where are you right now? I'm in, I'm in Teton County, Wyoming. How do you have this cool background, blue background that the office door, it's a Mirage. It's just a white, there's so much brightness out of this window. Look how fun. Yeah. So it's funny, I would have put a blue background because blue is my favorite color, Whatever is right or something. Yeah. And so I'm, I'm curious. You got you. So you've made, there are so many people in your community and I would imagine that probably one of the most gratifying feeling is, is when people, when that light switch goes on and when that transformation happens and you know, to take it back. So I know that in some of your podcast episodes, you talk about meditation and how some people get very frustrated with it. I'm one of those people that I I don't know if I hate myself. I just do not want to be in a room alone with nothing going on. I'm always listening. I'm always, you know, doing something. I'm very productive. I wake up at four 30 in the morning and I do some breathing, but but I'm, I'm not in that meditative mind space. So for my own, for my own personal journey. Tell me about a time when you meditated, where it was the most transformational for you. Can you please enlighten me as to what it might feel like if I finally get this stupid meditation thing down? I'm really resistant to offering the, that's what you want because in many ways it's not the point. So in, yeah, so the is like the point of meditation to experience deep peace and bliss. I [Inaudible] It may be one of many, is to know that that's the backdrop of everything. And so it is a worthwhile goal to know how to, to drop into that, which is already In the undulating pulsations of universal energy, which feels amazing, which feels like that's, yeah. I mean it's not that that's not a worthwhile goal, it's just that if that's the goal now we don't even have a shot at it. Yeah, that makes perfect sense too. And I think just having the ability to feel like there's value in meditation for me is the goal is to understand that it is worth something and not like just keeping me from all the shit I need to get done. You know what I mean? So I would reframe yes, definitely reframe. So one of, one of the, I would say like one of the biggest toxicities right now. So, and Ayurveda toxicity is really different than it is in the West. So toxicity is that which is on digested. It's really fascinating concept. So when you sit to meditate and everyone listening just put you in the You Seat with Alison and I'll put, I'll put myself in there. When I sit to meditate, often what happens is that which is undigested. And so the process of meditation is, is digesting that which hasn't been digested. I mean, interestingly enough, like physically. So if there's undigested food, the energy of attention will go into digesting food if there's undigested emotions, right. Just from all the interactions that happen through the day. Like, say, say you're like a typical mom and you do something, you have some interaction with your child and you're like, I don't want to do that again. Right? Like we all do. Right? I'm like, there's a better way actually when you said they'll be a process of digesting that emotion without actually focusing on it. And that's the paradox. And meditation is, it's not through analysis. It's not through journaling. It's not through talk therapy. It's actually being able to be with what is and there's a surrender into the universal intelligence that's part of all of ourselves, that the intelligence of, of us, of universal energy, it actually does digest the emotion. There's also undigested thoughts. So say it's fascinating cause you, and I wanted to circle back to this cause you said something about you don't know your Dharma. And I was like, Oh yes you do. You don't just create little left of center and have two children without, you know, and wanting to be a conscious parent and step deeper into your own, thrive without. So it's like what are your, what are your deeper convictions? Yeah. Right. And so even if we look at the process of meditation and how this relates to all that, like say there's something that you're, say you have like two disconnected thoughts, there's like this thought here and there's this thought here and when they connect it actually shifts your brain chemistry and enables something else to happen. It enables another thought sequence. It changes your radar or your perception, your ability to perceive. So when we sit to meditate, the like what is going to create that synapse across that cleft? Right? And that's what happens is those two undigested seemingly disparate things actually become connected in the unified field of consciousness. So I wouldn't worry so much about what your emotions are in meditation, whether the emotions of peace or the emotions of pleasure or the emotions of stillness or the emotions of extreme agitation, anger, fear. I mean depression, you know, jealousy, like whatever they are. It's just to actually be in awareness of that without needing to analyze it. And then all the magic actually is happening on a subtle level. This, this digesting that which is undigested. That has never been positioned to me in that way. And I thank you for doing that. I'm going to sit on this as I listen back and and trying to figure out, I still remind myself to do that, you know, I've been a 20 year meditator and I still ended like a daily basis remind myself of that in practice. Well I think that's what is so interesting about you and about whatever I've consumed of your work so far is that it is incredibly relatable and practical. And I wonder from, you know, what are some simple insightful tips that, that could make us all better? I mean, some of it you've already talked about if some of the, the steps, but you know, what are we missing? What are we getting wrong in your opinion? Yeah. I Mean there's a reason all our courses start with, with body thrive, with the, with the book, with the process, with the tip sheet. I'll give you an, I'll give you a few tip sheets to put in the show notes for people to get just like on one sheet. Like, what are the 10 habits of body thrive? What are these habits of yogis? I'll also give you a link to the how to be a Vata, how to be a Pitta, how to be a Kafa which is just a great way of just starting to understand your unique body type. It's where most Westerners really connect with Ayurveda is, Ooh, it's my constitution. But yeah, I mean, I think what we're, what we are missing in general is the habits. And it's because we're in a culture that eats, have your later dinner. We're in a culture that snacks rather than does intermittent fasting. We're in a culture that hyper consumes media stays up late because of that. Right? Netflix says our greatest competitors sleep. Right? And that's real. That's true. That's not, it's insane. It's insane. We know that if with sleep deprivation basically comes every health issue, you know, I mean, it's, it's, it's crazy. Sleep is, sleep is our best. Medicine always has been meditation close behind it, but sleep is second to none. So, you know, a complete elimination, intermittent movement in the day. Like all these just super basic habits that everyone's grandparents knew, you know, but they are counter culture right now. Well, it's interesting because as I'm thinking about the answers are so simple. Getting sleep, eating food from the earth, or at least co, you know consciously sourced food, eating food that is actual food and not processed bullshit. You know, I'm staying off of some of the technology or kind of getting involved in that. And you know, I talk a lot about about this on my show that I feel like, you know, we, we are scheduled from the moment we get up until the moment we go to bed and we do not give ourselves any time to process anything, myself included. You know, like we are, we, we look at productivity as King and, you know, if something hurts you take a pill and fix it and move forward, you gotta keep moving, you know, or if something hurts, take a pill, take a drink, you know, go shopping. I know for me, my, my vice is shopping and chocolate. And you know, like, it's, it's always an evolution. So, you know, I'm wondering, the world is not organized well enough where sleep is priority. Where good food, where people have access to good food. So if the world is pushing again to, you're probably the best person to answer this as somebody who you know, has kind of pioneered and blazed your own trail when it wasn't very popular to do. So, how do people stay true to those habits when the world isn't really organized to make it very easy to do that? Yeah, No, it's, it's true. I mean with publishing, I self published the book in 2015 and then sounds true rereleased it and in 2019 and and over the years we've had so many people just be like, wow, the book. But it's hard. It's like we have the course and this goes back to community. Just like what you were saying. Like if you're, if you think about it, like if you were to hang out, say you were living in a household of meditators, like everyone had the habit upon arising before bed, maybe before meals. Just taking a moment, like say that was your culture. Say you had a culture of people that went to bed early, you know, and just basically had wifi off after 6:00 PM, had wifi turned on after 9:00 AM right. Say you lived in that culture, would it, the question you want to ask yourself is like, would it be easy for you to have those habits? I think so. Yeah. Yeah, I do too. Right. And the same thing is true. Like when I was in college, I ran track. And I, and my, actually, even my first year they put me, they roommate roomed me with another person on the track team. The second year, a lot of us live together. I was in a culture of people that ran. I was in a culture exercise every day at least once. Yeah. So for me to not exercise would have been harder then to exercise. And so when people come into the body thrive course, they enter, they enter a culture of people that are already doing the habits. They're not surrounded by begin with beginners, they're surrounded with experts. And we have people that have been mentoring in that community for years. There's me, I've been teaching this for decades. There's a lot of people that have been in it for three months, six months, nine months, a year, and then two years, three years, four years, five, 10 years. Right? So they're surrounded by a moving momentous experience. And some people have just had a breakthrough. They've just been in for three months. But those people are like, you know, actually are three, six and nine month members are the ones. It's fascinating now, cause we've had, we've had, we have so much data over time at this point and it's really common for someone between month six and month nine to wake up to their own habitual use problems. Mm. You know, it sounds like the answer is you find your tribe, you have to find a tribe that say, you know, and I'm, I'm curious And not a tribe that enables you, but in a tribe that will actually push you to the development that you want to experience. And that's where I find a lot of people go wrong as they find a tribe that feels comfortable. You really want to find a tribe that feels edgy. Ooh, I like that. And one thing you said, I want to make sure I say this, you said in the, in the conference who said, we embrace challenges as evolutionary adventures. And I thought, what a great way to look at problems and shit that is just hurled at you. That if you reframe it as an evolutionary adventure. I like that. And I'm curious, how do, how do people contribute to your mission? Yeah, yeah. I mean, all of our members contribute by taking the actions of their own evolution, right? And then our wellness pros do it by following our, our business model, which is dynamic groups and they start to scale their own impact through that. So those are the two biggest ways. But even like podcasts, listeners, so we have at this point where we're 2 million downloads and one of the things that like, I was in the airplane the other day and this woman's, I listened to your show or you, you know, and, and, and it's the best way she can help is just by sharing something interesting. Like you mentioned sleep apnea before. So if someone has sleep apnea and they listened to that, that stress and sleep episode, and they forward it to their mother who can't sleep or their partner who can't sleep or their best friend who they know is, has sleep deprivation. Like that's, that to me is how it works. I always say that culture changing is a movement and the only way it works is when you share what, you know, what you've learned, you know. And so how do people get in touch with you? Yeah, well the, I mean, really the best way to find out how we can help you at yoga healer is to schedule a conversation at yoga, healer.com forward slash conversation. So if like anything I said today was like, Oh, I want to find out more, go there. Because my, my coaches there, they know all of our, we have tons of like free video trainings and whatnot. But the best way to find out, like, which is the best one for you, whether it's an aryuveda one, whether a Dharma one or a career one is just to talk to talk to someone on my team. I have, I have fantastic gals, Megan and Anna. They're the easiest people to talk to and they'll get you in the right free training to see if you know, to see how interested you really are in something. And they'll also be able to share really specific tip sheets. I think we have over 30 tip sheets. You know, that, which is really gonna address your particular desires right now. I love what you're up to and I'll leave you on this one quote of yours. I took copious amount of notes. You're probably like, this girl is kind of a stalker. What am I doing? I mean, that's, you're saying this, I'm like, let me see if I can get, cause I did a I did a webinar on community building and on tribe. So yeah. So there's a video on yoga forward slash. Tribe. So if someone wants to, to get all Allison's quotes first. Yeah, for sure. But you said, okay. So I'll leave on, your ambition is lurking underneath the surface, waiting to be ignited. What a powerful way, Kate Stillman. Thank you so much. You're a culture changer. I appreciate all that you're doing and honor what you're doing as well and certainly appreciate the time you took to talk to me and my audience and I, I, I'm a hopeful to be part of your mission as well. If I can contribute and to share the word I am your girl to do that. Thanks so much, Allison. I really enjoyed your, thanks Kate. Thank you. Thank you. The intellectual scientists by Kate.
