Did you know that pairing cold therapy with breathwork can give you supreme longevity and wellness benefits? Founder of Plunge and Capitol Floats, Ryan Duey, explores the power of conscious breathing with cold therapy, how to cultivate both physical and emotional resilience with a daily cold therapy practice, what brown fat is and how it accelerates your metabolism, and the overall benefits of cold therapy for weight loss, immunity, and mental health. "Cold plunging for me - it's the energy. I just get in there for 2-3 minutes and my morning is accelerated. I'm clear and I'm concise. It's a fast-track in meditation. I could go and sit for 10-20 minutes, which I encourage people to do as well, but 2-3 minutes in the Plunge gives me almost that same feeling in my mind as the mental apps get turned off." - Ryan Duey Biohack Your Mind & Body with Plunge Ice Baths!

The Plunge is safe for indoor or outdoor use and we've made installation truly plug-and-plunge. Fill your Plunge up with a hose, turn it on, set your temp (down to 39F) and you're all set. Plunge was born out of optimistic vision during a challenging time. In March 2020, COVID-19 shut down Michael's float spas and with his newly found free time, he looked at the cold plunges on the market and found them shockingly expensive. Enlisting the help of his dad, they were determined to create a more affordable option. After countless iterations and improvements, the Plunge was born. A friendship turned into a powerful partnership when Ryan Duey came on board. Michael and Ryan have a common passion for cold plunging, floating, and building win-win relationships. After building the first 20 Plunges out of Michael's garage, they have since opened a factory in Sacramento and are sending Plunges all over the world!   Listen To Episode 562 As Ryan Duey Uncovers: [1:00] Float Tanks, Plant Medicine & Ice Baths Ryan Duey Get $150 off your Plunge order with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Capitol Floats The changes Josh is going through as a new parent and how doing cold plunges have really been helping him.

Why doing an ice bath can be so empowering as you go from a sympathetic state to being in control of the experience.

Why weight loss, metabolism, and immunity are the biggest benefits for Josh with his cold plunge practice.

Ryan's personal health practices and why he sometimes struggles from time to time to want to do them. Why the path of least resistance isn't always the way especially when it comes to physical health. Exploring when resistance can be a healthy thing in our lives especially for a heart-based issue. The tipping point we might experience when the weight of not changing becomes so great that the weight of change is the path of least resistance.

His definition of wellness after all he's been through over the years as a wellpreneur.   Power Quotes From The Show   The Benefits of Ice Baths "From an inflammation standpoint, there are so many benefits of cold plunging after a workout. Also, it gives me so much energy, clears my mind, and makes me feel incredible." - Ryan Duey   The Best Workout for the Nervous System "A cold plunge is the best workout for the nervous system. We work out to tear our muscles down and they build back stronger. By getting in the plunge, you're getting outside of your comfort zone, the adrenaline is increasing, and your mind begins to stress but you have the opportunity to completely override and go from a sympathetic state of fight or flight into being in full control of your breath. By doing that cold plunge, you have literally changed your whole body system in 2-3 minutes. Think about what that could mean in everything we do in life; that you are actually in control."  - Ryan Duey   How Cold Plunging Helps Heal Depression "On a time front, cold plunging is such a short commitment and when you're in a very depressed state, big things seem so unfathomable. If you have this in your house or a river right near you or you take a cold shower, there's a moment where spending time in cold water gives you a window to make a positive shift moving forward. Just spend 2 minutes or even take 10 breaths to help you open up out of your depression and start making the actionable steps when you feel stuck." - Ryan Duey   Links From Today's Show  Get $150 off your Plunge order with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Capitol Floats Temple of the Way of Light MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies 210 Brad Burge 410 Mark Divine Wim Hof Dr. Andrew Weil Dr. Rhonda Patrick Dr. Andrew Huberman Dr. Rhonda Patrick on her cold plunge experience Scientific Evidence-Based Effects of Hydrotherapy on Various Systems of the Body The Kaufmann Protocol Vipassana Meditation – A Spartan Race For The Mind John C.

He attended Cal Poly University where he spent a semester abroad in Barcelona. The experience was so impactful that after graduation, Ryan returned to Spain and spent the next two years living and working in Madrid. After Madrid, Ryan returned to the states and began working in the front office of the San Jose Earthquakes. Soon after, Ryan had what he calls his “greatest gift”: a head-on motorcycle accident in Thailand. This near death experience catapulted Ryan into a journey of self-inquiry, leading him to the jungles of the Amazon, the inside of a float tank, and a commitment to entrepreneurship in the Health and Wellness industry. While building Capitol Floats, Sacramento's Premier Float Center, Ryan traveled to Reboot Float Spa in the Bay Area with the hopes of meeting the owner, Mike Garrett. The two quickly became friends and business confidants. Now, six years later, Ryan and Mike are taking the next step together and have joined forces to create Plunge. Their mission is to make cold plunging as common as coffee. Ryan couldn't be more grateful and excited to be working alongside such an impressive human and building the team at Plunge.

His guest, Brad Burge, BS, MA, Director of Communications and Public Relations of MAPS (Multi-disciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies) from 2009-2020 and a psychedelic expert, was instrumental in organizing the 2017 largest Psychedelic Science conference in history. Tune in to learn the truth about this emerging field of Psychedelics and how they have the potential to change lives.While cannabis is considered a treatment for many different diseases, psychedelics are used as part of psychotherapy to assist in the efficacy of treatment. These chemicals and naturally occurring substances are not considered a cure nor necessarily part of a daily health routine. Psychedelic therapy may involve an altered state of consciousness and can be beneficial in the doctor/patient relationship during structured and monitored therapy of growing interest is the practice of “micro-dosing” psychedelics. This is a naturalistic event which allows for a more conventional experience with some benefits and may or may not require therapy. Some of the properties of micro-dosing psychedelics mimic the use of pharmaceuticals to treat depression, migraines and other distressing and life changing chronic illness. All psychedelics are Schedule 1 along with Cannabis.Join the discussion of the fascinating effects of psychedelics, whether they are naturally occurring or created by man to assist in the expansion of the mind and the treatment of chronic disorders. www.UnitedPatientsGroup.com - Sitewww.UnitedPatientsGroup.com - Podcast

In this episode they discuss the Phase 3 Trial for MDMA Assisted Psychotherapy, contradictions and Expanded Access. 3 Key Points: MAPS is about to run Phase 3 Trials of MDMA Assisted Psychotherapy If MDMA passes this third phase, it will still be tricky to get insurance involved. But the cost of one series of MDMA Therapy is much cheaper than a lifetime of typical pharmaceutical drugs and therapy sessions to heal PTSD. The only reason for-profit companies haven't gotten involved before was because there wasn't a promise on their investment. Finally, for-profit companies (like Compass Pathways) are interested in advancing these medicines (Psilocybin and MDMA).

The transformations he has gone through from his military career to PTSD. His struggles with bulimia when he was 15 years old and the abuse that both he and his brother experienced from their parents. The "I have to be the best" mindset he had going into the Marine Corps. How he developed exercise compartment syndrome by overworking his body and what it took to have it treated and to recover. The moment his father was diagnosed with cancer and how George helped him during that time up until his death. His process of acknowledging, embracing, and letting go of shame and other emotions in order to move forward. Why he decided to come out and be authentic at Paleo Fx about being sexually abused when he was a child. How talking and having a human connection to therapy can allow you to let go of old emotions, self-sabotage, and trauma. His own struggles with empathy in specific situations and how he became aware of it. How difficult it was to unravel 30 years of beliefs and create a new, authentic story in a short amount of time. The fact that more people aren't dealing with their inner traumas and depression when they should be. Different experiences people can have while undergoing MDMA therapy including his own. How he's now able to come from a place of love instead of experiencing cycles of anger. The work he does every day and the breakthroughs that have happened because of his daily practices. Why there's no cheating, only choices and it's okay if we fail because later we get to make a better choice. Why he actually doesn't like cooking and how he used it as accountability to help him grow. What's wrong with the Marine culture as far as pain, winning, and leadership. The biggest breakthrough he made this year - accepting that he can't do it all alone. Power Quotes From The Show "Human connection is the remedy but the first step is to discover an authentic connection to yourself. It's about who you are at the core; not who you think you are or pretend to be but unapologetically who you are at the core." - @CookingCaveman http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "Talking, in general, is the most underutilized and important facet of any healing. I don't care if it's with a therapist, a mirror, or your dog. How do you neutralize fault, shame, blame, and guilt? It's really, really simple. Those emotions only have power over you as long as you allow them to stay your head." - George Bryant "There's this illusion that once you've done the work, you can let go of everything but that's not true at all. You learn how to coexist with the feeling to the point of where it's no longer toxic but neutral. As I go through my life and have all of these experiences, every one of these experiences is like a new neighbor moving into my neighborhood. The truth is that I really hate some of those neighbors and when I resist them, they resist back stronger. When I can love my neighbors by simply acknowledging their existence, they become neutral and I can choose not to listen to them or give them power for just 30 seconds before I take it back. It's a daily practice." - George Bryant "If there are any thoughts that we have in our brain, mind, or being that are taking up real estate or affecting an emotion that's anything but neutral, that only reason that it's capable of doing that is because there's only one person that knows that it's even happening and that's us. These thoughts keep us disconnected, in self-sabotage mode, and we stop ourselves from telling anybody because we want to be right about our stories and it's uncomfortable to go to the other side. However, the moment you can take a thought and speak it into the universe, it neutralizes the charge because it's no longer just yours; now it's everybody's." - George Bryant   Links From Today's Show George Bryant LinkedIn Facebook Twitter Civilized Caveman Facebook Instagram YouTube The Paleo Kitchen by George Bryant and Juli Bauer Civilized Caveman Lifestyle Facebook Group George Bryant aka Civilized Caveman on Bacon and Have We Gone Too Far?

MAPS isn't just developing treatments for mental illnesses. We're not just working within the system; we're also challenging the system. There's this idea that there's something broken in our brains such that we need to medicate it with these laboratory designed pharmaceuticals and that we as human beings are essentially damaged; that we're not perfect and we need to reach outside of ourselves to be healthy and happy. That's why we have our culture's fascination with drugs. - Brad Burge What is possible when a suitable candidate for psychedelics begins using them to heal from anxiety and mental illness? How can plant medicines help us in human optimization through unlocking the release of suppressed thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations? JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE In Wellness Force Radio episode 210, editor of Manifesting Minds, Director of Strategic Communications for Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), Brad Burge, explains how psychedelics can help people get back in touch with ancient ways of being, connect with the world, and help aid them in their journeys towards extreme habit change including ending addiction. Discover how the assisted therapeutic use of psychedelics and plant drugs is helping people liberate their consciousness, heal from PTSD, and integrate new lifestyle changes. "Using psychedelics for therapy doesn't look like what we've been taught to think psychedelics look like. It's not a party in a room. People are not just getting off their heads and having a great time; that doesn't happen." - @BradBurge_ http://bit.ly/wfpodcast   Click here to buy your copy of Manifesting Minds edited by Dr. Rick Doblin and Brad Burge Featuring essays and interviews with Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, Ram Dass, Albert Hofmann, Alexander (Sasha) Shulgin, Daniel Pinchbeck, Tim Robbins, Arne Naess, and electronic musician Simon Posford, as well as groundbreaking research and personal accounts, this one-of-a-kind anthology is a "best of" collection of articles and essays published by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). Topics include the healing use of marijuana and psychedelics--including MDMA, ibogaine, LSD, and ayahuasca--for PTSD, anxiety, depression, and drug addiction, as well as positive effects of these substances in the realm of the arts, family, spirituality, ecology, and technology.  Listen To Episode 210 As Brad Burge Uncovers: The vast amount of research that's going on today with the use of psychedelics and therapy. What people misunderstand the most about plant medicine and psychedelics The results from the studies that have been done on war veterans, police officers, and fireman with an MDMA assisted cycle of therapy for PTSD. The contrast and differences between LSD, DMT, MDMA, ibogaine, cannabis, psilocybin, and Ayahuasca. His own personal story and the various obstacles he faced when it came to his mental health and using lithium. The turning point in his life when he tried LSD and what the outcome was like for him. His integration process to not taking lithium by adding in activities such as art and exercise while avoiding alcohol and tobacco. Who benefits the most from psychedelics and who shouldn't be taking them at all. What LSD and other psychedelics can bring out in people as far as mental illnesses and psychosis. How he would define psychosis and how its hard to understand what it exactly is with all of the continuous research. The process of assisting people to get off drugs and liberate their consciousness by using psychedelic substances such as LSD. What he's noticed between people using plant medicine and psychedelics for recreation vs. therapy. Why guided help and community is so important for the preparation, use, and integration of psychedelics. How psychedelics can help us really connect with our ancient ways of being and with the rest of the world. Why psychedelics are mind manifesting in the sense that they can help us release our thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. What the future use of psychedelics such as MDMA could look like as far as limiting usage to be under supervised therapy in a clinic. The opioid epidemic and the correlation between Trump supporters and the number of overdosed deaths. How MAPS is helping society change their stigmatized views on plant medicine and psychedelics. What the future of MDMA, psilocybin, Ayahuasca, DMT, and ibogaine will look like. Power Quotes From The Show "Lithium wasn't allowing me to accomplish my potential, recognize how efficient my brain was and how useful my emotions were to me. Psychedelics showed me that my thinking of, 'What's wrong with me,' was keeping me from achieving more." - @BradBurge_ http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "It took me a couple of days to process this but after using psychedelics and spending time in nature, I realized that there isn't anything broken with me; there's nothing wrong with the way that my brain is processing information, feeling emotion, or experiencing things. It's just that things are so intense for me. Life wasn't perfect for me after that experience, but it showed me that lithium wasn't getting me anywhere." - Brad Burge "When you see these drugs in action; whether it's in a therapeutic or a recreational setting, there's something very embodied about them. The experience isn't just about out-of-body consciousness exploration, but there's a real embodiment that happens. In addition to getting us off prescription pharmaceuticals, showing us that we're not fundamentally damaged and that we have the capacity as individuals, I think psychedelics also help get us down deeper into our bodies. When I took LSD for the first time, I spent the entire day in my body doing this 8-mile walk around a lake and I think being physically exhausted was part of it as well. It was part of this feeling of, "There's nothing wrong with me," because my body was fine; my body was happy when it was moving around." - Brad Burge  "What MAPS is doing is actually using psychedelic drugs to help people get off drugs. Just two or three sessions with these substances are producing lasting changes and people don't need to stay on their existing medications. We're helping people liberate their consciousness from these straightjackets of conventional pharmacotherapy." - Brad Burge   Links From Today's Show Brad Burge Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Google+ Pinterest Tumblr MAPS Podcast Manifesting Minds PRESS RELEASE: Pineapple Fund Offers $4 Million Matching Grant to MAPS Smart Drug Smarts with Brad Burge #099: Psychedelics – New Perspective Over-the-Counter Ecstasy?

MAPS (The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) is a non-profit research and educational organization dedicated to developing legal medical applications for psychedelics.  Knee-deep in the FDA approval process for several substances, their research has begun to bear fruit, perhaps most notably in their staggeringly successful use of MDMA to treat PTSD.    Brad and I discuss these studies, as well as the undeniable societal, spiritual and philosophical shifts that would occur, in a world where psychedelics are accepted as valuable, powerful personal medicines that are to be respected, rather than chemical boogiemen that are meant to be avoided at all costs.
