She discusses the characteristics that make Flow Integrative unique, including its holistic wellness model in bringing together the mind, body, and spirit.We also talk about how Christi's diverse background in fire jumping, emergency medicine, and teaching led her down a path to learning about ketamine as a tool to “help the help,” which birthed the idea of Flow Integrative.Throughout our conversation, we highlight valuable advice from Christi, like the importance of sitting with ketamine for those interested in providing it to patients.

Every Year, we host the LFTN Spring Workshop and folks wonder why should they invest three days of their time in something that souls like one big camping party? And each year, I watch people's lives change. I watch the lights turn on. The decisions get made. I see super shy people stand up in front of a group and speak into a microphone. And each year, there is a different “spirit” at the event. Today, we will talk about the cool things that happened at #LFTN23, the breakthroughs and lessons learned and I post a question - What Are You Doing Next. Featured Event: Exit and Build Land Summit https://livefree.academy/op/exit-and-build-land-summit-iii-registration/?ref=183 Content includes, exiting the healthcare system, exiting the cities, how to raise money for land when you think you can't, seed saving and food preservation, PMAs and more.

I add the slivers to a grated bar of Dr Bronners. Operation Independence We will start finding out how much the new solar system saves on power compared with last year, and deduct that from the capital investment of $5000 Considering adding a farm stand and targeting the nearby marina Main topic of the Show: What Are You Doing Next? The LFTN Spring Workshop always ends with exhaustion of a kind that is difficult to describe because I always feel both empowered, motivated and ready for a long nap. Each year, I am not quite sure what the BIG THING is that came from the workshop and yet, each year something does. In 2020, we realized that grow is a state of mind, not state of the economy. It is your choice. In 2021, we realized that our connections are already the foundation for a parallel society - as in we already have one. In 2022, we realized that we are the people with normal relationships and the unhealthy anchors in the “real world” must be tossed off So what is next? The phrase that is beating through my head today as I prepare the show notes is What Are You Doing Next? It reminds me of the day my roaster caught on fire… How does this relate to #LFTN23 Poverty mindset Make money despite the recession Business q and a with John Willis Sewing best practices and demos Cheese making demo Fencing tour Holler Roost Solar Build Impromptu rabbit processing …melding of the minds Get off your ass BreakTHROUGH “I dont want to leave - also I CANT WAIT to get home and start some things. And the whole time I was kicking around doing 75hard, and talked to a participant about it - turns out she has tried twice, The shift was to How Can I It wasnt the fellowship, the hijinks, the rum tasting, the torrential rains help at bay by Tajmaholler. We didn't care - we asked what next? It wasn't the fabulous food from right here, or the build your niche business presentation, or dog bite demo – we asked what can we do? It wasn't the quiet morning coffee because we had late sleeps, or the roasted pig, or the wild edible walk, we asked what do I want to build – then we turned to someone close to us and talked about it. New connections Better ideas A fire lit under our butts So, in the words of John Willis, I ask: What Are You Doing Next? I am doing 75Hard to increase my mental discipline – and whatever else it brings. What are you doing today, tomorrow, next week? What thing are you ready to tackle? What do you want to build? Really, I ask you – What are you doing next? Make it a great week! GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.

Whole, Healthy and Free: Defying the Limitations for Personal Breakthrough
There is a saying, “ What you don't know won't hurt you,” but after this recent product development and lengthy research into Synthetic Fragrances, I would beg to differ. These seemingly innocent chemicals are in the bulk of consumer products and they are wrecking havoc in some exceptionally significant ways right under our nose! If you have concerns with allergies, sensitivities, migraines, weight gain (seemingly for no reason) hormone imbalance, depression, anxiety, low testosterone and fatigue. DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE! I do believe there is a solid amount of info on the dangers of synthetic fragrances out there but there is a lot more than what has been talked about. Some of what I discovered about this ingredient is just recently begun to be studied and quite a lot seems to be still slipping through the cracks. What we don't know IS hurting us.

Turning Fear Into Compassion with Rabbi Joshua Corber - ep 49 We all want a transformative experience when we apologize but when can you expect forgiveness? When can or can't you expect an apology back? Perhaps we have to forgive without expectation of an apology or acknowledgement. Hear from a great Rabbi and Reiki teacher, Joshua Corber. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Rabbi Joshua Corber studied Religion Literature and the Arts at the University of British Columbia, spending one year abroad at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He graduated UBC in 2005. Alongside his academic studies, Rabbi Corber was also working to become a Reiki master which he has always incorporated into his Judaism, particular in the realm of Jewish Meditation. https://www.adathjeshurun.com/clergy "I have a voice" song by Elana Arian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC6dk9Ch6vs&t=77s Dr. Bronner's Magic SoapBox Doc https://youtu.be/huSicfeTc6w
Nicole and Jeni are back from a quick vacation in Frankenmuth where Jeni had the longest chicken dinner of her life. Nicole shares her "secret" for how to save money at the waterpark where they stayed. Jeni says it's not really a secret, but it can still save you some money! Jeni also takes us through the story of how she found out she was pregnant with Nicole. It's a crazy one that you won't want to miss! PS: How many photos do you have on your phone?? Jeni thought she had a lot, but wait until you hear how many Nicole has. More podcasts at WAVE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/artist/wave-podcast-network/1437831426

Happy Christmas in July! Buckle up, because this episode has a little bit of everything in it - I finally catch up with Gracie and she talks about her role in our community theater's production of The Sound of Music. We then talk about our trip to Bronner's Christmas Store, and of course had to taste test some cookies I picked up from there. After that we get very silly and attempt to talk in British accents (with horrible results) and I do my worst impression of Kermit the Frog - (with apologies to Tim Babb and the Can't Wait for Christmas Podcast - you can keep your Imaginary Listener Who Kind of Sounds Like Kermit the Frog!) After that author Nat Bickel stops by to read her new Christmas short story "The Adventures of Phoebe's Christmas Dwarf" which is going to be published this fall in a new collection of heartwarming Christmas stories. Remember to honor Christmas in your heart, and try to keep it all the year... this episode will surely help you do that!

Alles streng biologisch und fair produziert - Amerikas größter Naturseifenhersteller kommt aus Deutschland, entstanden aus einer kleinen Kellerproduktion im eigenen Haus im jüdischen Viertel von Laupheim. Mit der "Machtübernahme" der Nazis gelang einem Teil der Familie die Flucht in die USA, der andere wurde ermordet. Der Sohn setzte die Produktion daraufhin mit klarer Botschaft fort: "all one" - ein Bekenntnis zu einer fairen, sozialen und nachhaltigen Unternehmensführung. Seit 2015 ist der Hersteller als "Benefit Corporation" anerkannt.
Money circulates nearly an unlimited number of times in white neighborhoods, but only once in African-American communities, according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth. On this episode, we ask: how can we keep the Black dollar circulating in Black communities for longer? First, we hear from Bernard Bronner, President and CEO of Bronner Bros., the Black, family-owned beauty company behind the annual Bronner Bros. Hair Show. After losing their best-selling hair care product because they didn't manufacture it themselves, the Bronners recognized the importance of ownership for sustaining not only the company, but the broader Black community. Then, host Carla Harris sits down with author and activist Maggie Anderson, who embarked on a year-long journey to only buy Black. Through her lived experience and supporting data, Maggie unpacks the historical and ongoing factors that prevent Black dollars from circulating through the Black community. And she highlights opportunities that exist for Black entrepreneurs and consumers to reclaim the power of their dollar. https://www.morganstanley.com/what-we-do/inclusive-innovation-and-opportunity Disclaimer textThe guest speakers are neither employees nor affiliated with Morgan Stanley & Co.

Supply chains - and, especially, their points of failure - have become a global hot topic, encouraging us all to take a closer look at how goods move around the globe. Dr. Gero Leson has spent the better part of his career developing supply chains from the ground up, modeling a community-driven approach that holds a vision of interconnection and a broader understanding of success for Western culture. At natural soap company Dr. Bronner's, Leson and his colleagues and collaborators have developed ingredient supply chains for key ingredients, including palm oil, cocoa, and olive oil, that have aimed to honor people and process as much as product. At times, the results have been humbling, but, also, educational and human-centered. Working in communities around the globe, including Ghana, India, and Sri Lanka, Leson's sourcing stories demonstrate how working closely with people and recognizing the role of serendipity can have surprising and dynamic results--and lead to regenerative, more socially just supply chains. In Honor Thy Label: Dr. Bronner's Unconventional Journey to a Clean, Green, and Ethical Supply Chain (Portfolio, 2021), Leson shares case studies of his work and offers insight into the complexity of critical supply chain issues, including sustainability, regenerative organic agriculture, and fair trade. Dr. Gero Lasen is the vice president of special operations at Dr. Bronners, a top-selling brand of soaps in North America. After joining the company in 2005, he helped its transition to sourcing all major ingredients directly from certified fair trade and organic projects, built from scratch and supplied by small scale farms. Under his leadership, Dr Bronners has become a pathfinder in the global movement to establish socially just and environmentally responsible supply chains. Leson holds a masters in physics and a doctorate in environmental science and engineering. He is a regular speaker on business, sustainability, fair trade, and regenerative organic agriculture. Dr. Susan Grelock Yusem is an independent researcher trained in depth psychology, with an emphasis on community, liberation, and eco-psychologies. Her work centers around interconnection and encompasses regenerative food systems, the arts and conservation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Working in communities around the globe, including Ghana, India, and Sri Lanka, Leson's sourcing stories demonstrate how working closely with people and recognizing the role of serendipity can have surprising and dynamic results--and lead to regenerative, more socially just supply chains. In Honor Thy Label: Dr. Bronner's Unconventional Journey to a Clean, Green, and Ethical Supply Chain (Portfolio, 2021), Leson shares case studies of his work and offers insight into the complexity of critical supply chain issues, including sustainability, regenerative organic agriculture, and fair trade. Dr. Gero Lasen is the vice president of special operations at Dr. Bronners, a top-selling brand of soaps in North America. After joining the company in 2005, he helped its transition to sourcing all major ingredients directly from certified fair trade and organic projects, built from scratch and supplied by small scale farms. Under his leadership, Dr Bronners has become a pathfinder in the global movement to establish socially just and environmentally responsible supply chains. Leson holds a masters in physics and a doctorate in environmental science and engineering. He is a regular speaker on business, sustainability, fair trade, and regenerative organic agriculture. Dr. Susan Grelock Yusem is an independent researcher trained in depth psychology, with an emphasis on community, liberation, and eco-psychologies. Her work centers around interconnection and encompasses regenerative food systems, the arts and conservation. Learn more about your ad choices.

Supply chains - and, especially, their points of failure - have become a global hot topic, encouraging us all to take a closer look at how goods move around the globe. Dr. Gero Leson has spent the better part of his career developing supply chains from the ground up, modeling a community-driven approach that holds a vision of interconnection and a broader understanding of success for Western culture.

In this 30 minute episode I tap on a Dr. Bronners bottle without talking (beyond the intro).
Christmas decorating could be a problem this year. Have you noticed how your local grocery store has no selection of bottled water? Believe it or not, the same thing causing a shortage of bottled water could affect Christmas decoration supply this year. It just another reality heading into our 2nd pandemic Christmas. This episode of the Merry Little Podcast talks about how Christmas decorating will be different this year because of all the weird going on in the world. We reached out to experts at Bronners.com, the world's largest Christmas store, to tell us what is going on and how everything to do with Christmas decorating will be affected. While decking the halls will be different they will be decked. It is a tradition of antiquity. To that end we explore the history of "Deck the Halls" and explain why it wasn't only just a holiday tradition back in the day but also why it is as much a party song as it is a carol. Of course, we find joy in sharing the decorating of Christmas as well with our 16th Annual Ornament Exchange at the Merry Forums of MyMerryChristmas.com. Pandemic or no, we're celebrating. To that end, we invite you as well to explore more about Bronners with this great episode from our friends at the Sleigh Bells and Mistletoe Christmas Podcast, who talk with CEO Wayne Bronner about the story of the world's biggest Christmas store.
The Well Store is a multi-award winning Small Business based in Rozelle, Sydney’s Inner West. Founder Mariana Boulos wanted to fulfill the need to source the purest, most natural & organic products for her family and home that didn’t compromise their health. All the products stocked at The Well Store are natural, organic and non toxic. The ingredients are checked personally by Mariana and given the green light of approval. There are over 3,000 products in-store across 200+ brands such as Bare & Co, Eco-tan, Skin Juice, Weleda, Lily Lolo, Woohoo Body, Dr Bronners, La Mav, Inika and more. The crazy, unpredicted year of 2020 very sadly negatively affected so many businesses, however meant unexpectedly for The Well Store that it was been flung into a feeding frenzy of growth. Consumers are now doing the majority of their shopping online and are wanting their orders quickly. In this Mindfulbiz Podcast episode, Business Coach Alison Morgan speaks with Mariana about launching her ecommerce brand, growth, marketing and more. https://www.relauncher.com.au https://www.instagram.com/relauncher_alison/
This week on EnvironMental, we talk about our main takeaways from the past month that we’ve spent diving into sustainable sourcing. We asked a few questions like what global certifications should we trust? What questions should we ask? What resources are out there, and what does it take to create a sustainable supply chain? And we have to say - our questions were answered PLUS SOME. We talked to Trish Flaster, who gave us tons of incredible resources to help small brands find safe sources. Then we read the first hand account of Gero Leson on growing the sustainable value chains for the big multinational, Dr. Bronners. We are incredibly inspired by the possibilities that are out there for small brands right now to plug into vetted value chains, and for the future of growth that still exists in the sustainable, traceable value chain for a small brand. #1 tip for how to treat your supply chain? Know every member of your chain and treat them all like they’re your team members (because they are!). These are the top resources for small brands we found throughout this month: Botanicalliaisons.com is Trish’s business. She can help you if you need a sourcing specialist or if you need help finding the right connection to a supplier that you can trust. Supplyside365.com - this is a network of people - a hub - for industry professionals (in every part of the supply chain) to get connected, meet each other, learn from each other, and find the best sourcing for their fair sustainable brands. www.fairforlife.org - Fair For Life certifies entire supply chains to ensure that they are fair trade and holistic. They have a list of their certified resources and how to connect with them so you can source fair products and ingredients. www.ssciglobal.org/ - The Supplement Safety & Compliance Initiative is a nonprofit led by brands and retailers to ensure that the supplements they promote are safe, authentic, and compliant to global standards.
Most leaders want to build a legendary business and be socially and environmentally responsible at the same time. Sadly, many get caught in a false dilemma between doing good in business and doing good in the world. In spite of that, there are companies that strive to do both and continue to prosper to this day. In this episode of Follow Your Different, Dr. Gero Leson shares how Dr. Bronner’s has become the pioneer in the global movement to establish socially just and environmentally responsible supply chains. So if you care about building a long term, successful business that dominates its niche and makes a giant difference in the world, you're going to love everything about this conversation. Having an Impact on the World If you’re looking for a company that has an impact on the world, look no further than Dr. Bronner’s. They have spent 70 years showing everyone that you don’t have to choose just one to maintain good growth. They back up this claim by ranking as the second highest scoring B Corp in the world. Dr. Gero Leson attributes this success to having an authentic brand and being consistent about it all these years. He believes that the causes they address speak to the general public, particularly to people who advocate saving the planet. “There are many other things. Of course, it's the quality of our product, no doubt. But I think it's also the messaging and then the action (we take). It's what we do to have an impact beyond just making soap. I think that package speaks to people, and we have a fantastic team that's all driven by the same vision.” – Dr. Gero Leson Standing the Test of Time Dr. Gero shares his thoughts on how Dr. Bronner’s is still relevant after all these years. Despite having new ideas and products launched, they have stayed true to their desire to have more natural and sustainable products and ingredients in the market. As for their sustained growth, Dr. Gero explains that they don’t focus on it. He knows it sounds like a cliché, but that mindset helped them explore new ideas that others would find risky. “This is not about cashing out, getting a few millions in the bank and then retire and just sit on the board of philanthropic organizations. The Bronners’ and most of our executive team just love being able to make decisions and bring about change, and that drives me alive. This is the biggest fun ever. I could retire, but that would be so boring. It's just so much fun to use your business to bring about change, honestly.” – Dr. Gero Leson Precision and Creativity Nowadays, it is normal to have your Executive offices and your production line separate. Yet for the longest time, Dr. Bronner’s has kept it all in one place. This leads to a unique contrast of seeing everything work with exact precision, but in an environment driven by everyone’s creativity and individuality. “It is really fun to watch normal people respond to this. I sometimes bring in the chiefs of our projects and they're very normal people. They come there and they say, “Huh, there's a very interesting, great atmosphere here”. Its a very unique contrast of normality, efficiency, planning and at the same time, you have wildness and independence driving.” – Dr. Gero Leson To hear more from Dr. Gero Leson and his thoughts on building a business that thrives while making a difference, download and listen to this episode.

David Bronner & Gero Leson are todays guests on the Podcast. They are the unique trailblazers and (r)evolutionaries behind the ethical and regenerative brand that Dr.Bronner's has become over the last decades. David grew the company from $4 million in 1998 to over $129 million in annual revenue in 2019. From a hister of over 150 years of family soap-making history: Dr. Bronner’s began in the U.S. in 1948; founder Emanuel Bronner’s German-Jewish family began making soap in 1858. Gero who is Vice President of Special Operations at Dr. Bronner’s just published a new book: Honour thy label (March 2021) We talked about: Not just making soap, but trailblazing conscious and regenerative business impacting social, environmental and regenerative well-being: The difference of organic by neglect and expanding the global agriculture into Regenerative Organic Agriculture. Recently launched ROC certification, that Dr. Bronners spearheaded with other ethical brands such as Patagonia. It’s really a standard that mandates what you should be doing in your farm, not just choosing better “than no pesticides” but going deep into Focus on the education of farmers in these communities, to develop practices such as composting, cover cropping, mulching, and other regenerative organic methods that build up soil fertility and organic matter. Gero shared some stories about soil making and management from Canada, to Sri Lanka, Palestine, Ghana, Germany and many other countries on the planet. How Gero & David met through their love and knowledge around Hemp and the diverse soil and crop approach. David shared insights into the Cannabis market, and why Organic Cannabis doesn’t (yet) exist in the legalized US market. Check out his consumer facing standard SUN and EARTH on that note. And of course their 7 generational dream for the planet, our species and the soil.

Graham Boyd is the co-founder and Executive Director of The Psychedelic Science Funders Collaborative (PSFC) and the Political Director at Dr. Bronners. And a huge driving force behind the MDMA-as-medicine movement. We are proud of Graham, since he helped complete the MAPS Capstone challenge, a Psychedelic Research Fundraising Campaign that just has attracted $30 Million in donations in just 6 months which will prepare MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for FDA Approval. If successful, this would be the first-ever psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to earn approval from the FDA. Graham has spent his career fighting on behalf of social justice causes. Through his work advocating for those who have been marginalized, Graham was introduced to psychedelic science. Recognizing that those who will benefit from physician-prescribed MDMA and psilocybin are often suffering in silence, he brings his expertise from past efforts to help raise funds and resources to further the FDA process and bring much-needed relief to veterans, abuse survivors and others who are struggling with PTSD, depression and anxiety.

Welcome back to the Paleo View, episode 397. (0:40) Stacy and Sarah are doing a follow-up show to episode 394 to answer listener's frequently asked questions. Since then, a lot has changed and Stacy and Sarah want to empower listeners with the latest information. Stacy wants to remind people that if you are home with your kids, be mindful of what you are exuding in front of them. Calm and reassurance is critical with kids right now. A Follow Up Show Sarah and Stacy each shared a bit about how they are parenting through this unique time. It is ok to be fearful and anxious, but make sure you find the appropriate outlet and time to share on your feelings. A lot can change by the time this show airs, but Stacy and Sarah are hoping that these points will still be helpful as this continues to evolve in the US. For people who aren't feeling symptomatic, we could still be harboring the virus and give it unknowingly to people. This is why we are all in quarantine and it is incredibly important to understand this. There is this other side of the quarantine equation that has to do with taking healthy people out of the possible infection pool. Sarah talked about other country's quarantine practices and why the US has chosen the course that we have. If we can slow the infection rate, we will spread this out over a longer period of time, which is good because it means we won't overwhelm the medical system. The whole point of all these steps is so that people who need treatment can get it. We are trying to protect the more vulnerable people. Recognize that some people who don't appear vulnerable are getting a severe course of this disease, and there is no way to predict how bad it is going to be. We are, figuratively, coming together as a community so that we can protect our communities from overwhelming our local medical care. Updates Stacy quickly shared an update on one of the two bills that were discussed on last week's episode. (12:19) Sarah has collected representative questions from the most common discussions that are happening on both Stacy and Sarah's channels. WHO is quoting global mortality at 3.9%. However, Sarah wants to emphasize that this is still very likely an overestimation due to the undercounting of mild cases. Almost no countries are testing for mild cases right now. South Korea still remains the exception of a country that is testing at the right level. All other countries still need to ramp up for their testing capacity. The mortality rate has climbed in South Korea to 0.9%, which is ten times higher than the seasonal flu. Although this is better news than what WHO is reporting right now. The Latest Findings We are still looking at the scientific literature. We are still looking at about 80% of people having a mild disease course. However, Sarah wants to emphasize here what mild means in this context. It encompasses everything short of pneumonia, and all the way down to almost no symptoms. 15 to 20% of people who are considered critical will need medical care, like supplemental oxygen. Something like 5% of the cases are requiring more advanced support for the respiratory system. On average, for mild symptoms, people are sick for about two weeks. The severe and critical cases are lasting three to six weeks. When you see news stories of worst-case scenarios, know that we completely have it in our power to make sure that things don't escalate to that point. The people who are at higher risk of having a severe course are still older people, which starts at 50. The other people who are more vulnerable are people with pre-existing conditions and immunocompromised people. What people are dying from with covid-19 is acute respiratory distress syndrome or multiple organ failure syndromes. Respiratory Risk Factors Stacy asked Sarah, "do you think it's realistic to say that if you are prone to respiratory infections that you would need to be especially mindful during this period?". There is currently no evidence that those with asthma are considered higher risk. Stacy shared her thought process behind this. At this point, having a history of bronchitis or pneumonia is not a risk factor. However, some of the things that might contribute to a high frequency of bronchitis and pneumonia may be risk factors. The lifestyle factors are still our top action items at this time. Immunocompromised Are all of us with autoimmune diseases automatically considered immunocompromised? (26:03) The answer is no. Autoimmune disease does not automatically imply immunocompromised. This phrase is referring to people with HIV/AIDS, cancers that are impacting immune cells, cancer patients who are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy, transplant patients that are on immune suppressants, and those with genetic diseases that affect the immune system. That being said, some autoimmune disease suffers are also immunocompromised. If you are taking disease-modifying drugs or steroids to manage an autoimmune disease, your doctor may tell you that you are immunocompromised. In general, an autoimmune diagnosis does not mean that you are immunocompromised. Sarah wants to reassure listeners that you are not automatically in a high-risk category because you have an autoimmune disease. If you have had great success managing your autoimmune disease with functional medicine approaches and diet and lifestyle, your immune system is probably well equipped to handle a viral infection. Levels of Severity Is the severity of the disease going to be worse for those with autoimmune conditions? (29:48) Sarah shared information from this, this, and this study to explain what the research currently shows. There is a time and a place for medication. Do not discontinue your medicine without talking to your doctor if you are on immunosuppressants. If you are on immunosuppressants, yes, you would be considered a higher risk. Make a decision with your healthcare provider about the best path forward and take all of the precautions to protect yourself from exposure to covid-19. It is not that autoimmune diseases increase your risk for a more severe course, it is that the immunosuppressant drugs potentially increase risk. Be sure to call the doctor's office first before showing up. Cleaning vs. Disinfecting Should I be used an antibacterial soap to wash my hands? And will this impact the beneficial bacteria on my skin?(36:40) A similar question Stacy and Sarah has received has to do with the effectiveness of natural soaps. There’s a technical difference between cleaning (where you’re removing bacteria and viruses by trapping them in your cleaning solution and rinsing/wiping them away) versus disinfecting (where you’re killing the bacteria and viruses with a powerful antimicrobial chemical). For cleaning, yes, natural soaps such as Dr. Bronners and Branch Basics work, make sure you’re rinsing/wiping clean, depending on the application. For disinfecting, try 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). The EPA has a list of disinfectants that should be effective against SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes covid-19) here. Stacy has a blog post here with additional product recommendations. Sarah pointed out that there are a lot of disinfectants out there that haven't actually been tested for their effectiveness. Be sure to check the CDC to see if your products are actually disinfecting. If you are thinking about using essential oils, please refer to this podcast episode. Sarah shared her thoughts on how to best check for a product's effectiveness against covid-19. Treatment What can we take to help us feel better if we do get covid-19? (47:25) In moderate to severe cases, call your doctor and find out what their recommendations are. Please know that if you are in that 80%, rest and hydration are still your primary strategies. If you have a fever, if it is not dangerously high, try not to take any medicine for it. Sarah noted that a high fever, above 104F (and lower from susceptible individuals, you probably already know if this applies to you) can cause seizures. If you are going to take something, avoid NSAIDs (which suppress some aspects of the immune system), and take acetaminophen. Call your doctor if you can’t get your fever down. If it hurts in your chest when you are coughing, call your doctor. And if you have any doubts, don't be afraid to call your doctor. Any symptom relief that is going to improve sleep is going to be beneficial. More Ideas For cough, honey is a surprisingly good cough suppressant (even recommended by Mayo clinic), which you can either add to herbal tea (lots of antioxidants!) or just take a spoonful. Eucalyptus oil, diluted with something like coconut oil, rubbed onto the chest may help act as an expectorant and cough suppressant. If you happen to have a Joovv at home, it will help with your joint pain. There is nothing from a lifestyle perspective that is going to prevent you from getting something. You can Paleo as hard as you can, but sometimes that is not going to change anything. For a concentration amount of information on what you can do from a diet and lifestyle standpoint, refer back to this podcast episode. Get enough sleep, manage stress, have plenty of low/moderate activity throughout your day, and avoid nutrient deficiencies. Sarah wants to really emphasize that the magnitude of effect from supplements is very small. It is far more important to avoid nutrient deficiencies and to get your nutrients from foods. Stacy is personally working hard to manage her sleep habits. Look at all the things that are making you stressed and anxious, and identify what is in your control. Instead, look at what you can focus on and what you can do best. Supplements We are conditioned now that when we don't feel well we take a pill. (1:02:10) Even in alternative health, there is lots of food-based supplements. Functional health doctors love to give supplements. We don't yet have data on how supplements impact covid-19. There is no pill that is going to substitute for going to bed early or doing something to reduce stress levels. Other than a vitamin D supplement if you are vitamin D deficient, there is nothing else that you are going to be able to take that is going to help. Even as Stacy and Sarah talk about supplements that are going to be beneficial, they are talking about very small effects compared to the lifestyle factors. Colloidal Silver Products The answer is no colloidal silver products are not going to help. (1:04:31) Data on colloidal silver products are incredibly mixed. There have been studies showing absolutely no antibiotic activity, and a couple have shown no antiviral activity. It is also very easy to important to know that you can overdose on silver and it can be toxic. The upper limit seems to be context-dependent. Elderberry There are two different schools of thought online. Sarah wrote about the study showing that elderberry can reduce the severity of symptoms and duration of relevant viral infections. It does not seem to prevent viral infections. And should not be taken daily since long-term safety has not been established. Studies evaluate 5-day intervention “at the first sign of illness”. Some people are recommending against Elderberry due to concerns that it may increase the severity of or increase the risk of cytokine storms. The safety of elderberry has never been tested long-term. A cytokine is a chemical messenger that the immune system uses to communicate with itself. There are dozens of different cytokines. Sarah shared more on cytokines and what they do in the body. There has been some cytokine profiling done of those patients with covid-19, and they are showing that this is potentially causing the complications. The cytokine storm is not unique to covid-19. Doctors are trying to figure out the best treatment protocols. There is a bit of research out there on the effects on the elderberry, and Sarah broke those down in greater detail. The studies Sarah referred to are here, here, here and here. Sarah appreciates the voices of caution on the use of elderberry out there. The fact is we don’t know if it would help with covid-19. All in all, Sarah is not convinced elderberry would contribute to cytokine storm, but caution is the better part of valor. Additional Supplements Other people have asked about vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin D. (1:21:09) With vitamin D, you are definitely supporting your immune system by addressing a deficiency. Testing your vitamin D levels is a great action item right now. Zinc supplementation has been shown to reduce infection rates. However, 73% of Americans don't get enough zinc. Sarah recommends using a food journal like MyFitnessPal or Cronometer to see how much zinc you are getting from your food. Make sure you are choosing foods that help you get enough zinc. Sarah thinks there is a compelling reason to avoid deficiency and not a compelling reason to supplement. The same can be said for vitamin C. Eating fruits and vegetables with vitamin C are going to provide a number of benefits. There are also recommendations floating around to take SA glutathione and vitamin A as well as d+k2. In general, Sarah thinks it’s best to be skeptical of any claims that a supplement will protect you from covid-19. All of the supplements recommended by Dr. Lynch are all general immune health nutrients, and certainly being deficient is problematic. There’s no evidence that glutathione, vitamin A or K2 supplementation can reduce infections or infection severity. Be sure to talk to your doctor about supplementation for feedback unique to you. The things that are actually going to help us is social distancing, hand washing, cleaning, getting enough sleep, managing stress, being active, getting a nutrient-dense diet, and following quarantine protocols. Additional Suggestions Stacy wants to emphasize the mentality part of this. (1:26:30) There is endless science on how stress negatively affects our bodies in a multitude of ways. Look for ways to help yourself feel better. Don't listen to this podcast and feel stressed that you need to be doing more things. Take a deep breath or go for a walk. Stacy shared ways that she is looking for things she can own and the problems she can solve. There are things that each of us can control. Feel grateful for what you do have, whatever that may be. Most of us our families are healthy, and you can be appreciative and grateful for that. The more things you can be grateful for the more it is going to help you calm down and destress. Mail is still being delivered, trash is still being picked up, grocery stores are still open. There is a lot of gratitude we can find around us, we just have to be willing to pause and look for it. Wrap Up Stacy shared her appreciation for all the prep-work Sarah did for this week's podcast episode. Sarah shared with listeners that we will host as many covid-19 podcast episodes as needed throughout this pandemic.

This week’s podcast is with David Bronner, CEO aka Cosmic Engagement Officer for Dr. Bronners, the top selling brand of natural soaps in North America. Not only do they make the best soap, but they’ve dedicated themselves to advocacy around our food supply, regenerative organic agriculture, animal welfare, fair labor practices, and responsible integration of cannabis and psychedelic medicine into American and global culture. In my opinion, this is one of the best examples of how a company can operate ethically and sustainably in today’s society and it was an honor to spend this time with David. I could spend the entire podcast just talking of all the amazing thing Dr. Bronner’s has done for the community and it’s employees, but the main purpose was to discuss their partnership on the Sun and Earth Certification for cannabis and the non-profit David has helped in establishing called Brother David’s. https://www.kisorganics.com/pages/cannabis-cultivation-and-science-podcast-episode-55
In this episode, Joe interviews Cody Swift from the Riverstyx Foundation. In the show, they talk about Peyote and the troubles for Native Americans and their church not having access and preservation of Peyote. 3 Key Points: RiverStyx is a small family foundation that funds projects that demonstrate the potential for healing and beauty. RiverStyx has funded the preservation of land to protect the sacred Peyote plant. The Portugal Model shows that decriminalization works. Portugal faced unprecedented overdoses and drug abuse, typically with heroine, and when they turned to decriminalization and treatment, overdoses and incarceration dropped significantly to almost none. The Native American churches have held onto their ceremonial practices very tightly, and they struggle to find legal and sustainable access to Peyote, their sacred plant medicine.

Navigating Psychedelics Show Notes About Cody and RiverStyx Foundation RiverStyx is a small family foundation Cody’s grandfather was the CEO of UPS, and before his grandmother passed, she put a large share of the stock into a small family foundation Cody and his father took their quarter of the Foundation and created RiverStyx “How do you use a million and a half dollars a year for remarkable good?” - Cody He fell into philanthropy along with the burden/blessing of making decisions to change the world with a lot of money He started LEAD (Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion) It is a program that aims to help those struggling with addiction rather than punishing them with prison time The Portugal Model In the early 2000’s, Eric Schlosser’s book, Reefer Madness Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market eluded to Portugal having decriminalized all drugs Portugal faced unprecedented overdoses and drug abuse, typically with heroine They realized that they couldn't arrest their country out of the drug addiction problem, so they turned to decriminalization and treatment They de-stigmatized treatment and drug users didn't have to feel ashamed and use drugs in the shadows This lowered HIV rates to almost nothing It was highly successful “Not everyone needs drugs, but not everyone should be at risk to go to jail if they get caught with them.” - Joe Joe encourages psychedelically inclined folks to look deeper into harm reduction and drug decriminalization “Let's provide these people safe access to a clean supply where they can stabilize again” - Cody Joe mentions a book by Jeremy Narby, Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge, Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge The drug war is causing danger to the plants Cody says, if cane syrup was made illegal because it is killing people, we wouldn’t ban the growth of corn, because it is sacred and used for so many other things “Jail is one of the biggest problems for mushroom users” - Joe Joe mentions that he was a little frustrated that Michael Pollan was able to take mushrooms and not go to jail, but the average person could go to jail Cody says that he highly respects Michael Pollan and what he has done for the psychedelic revolution, and that he thinks that Pollan wouldn't want anyone to go to jail for this People like Michael Pollan and Tim Ferriss have done a tremendous job securing funding for Psychedelic Research Peyote Native American people had always been close to Cody’s heart As a philanthropist, he didn't know where to begin There is a myriad of problems facing Native American communities About 5 years ago, it just came into consciousness He got connected to Sandor of the Native American church He learned about ceremony and it became absolutely clear that he had to be a part of it It was an unclear path on how to support the community in the beginning, there was no 501C-3, there were no other philanthropists, the community is so large “How to support them in the continuance and empowerment of their using of a highly potent and healing substance to treat communities that have suffered so much, that was the key question” - Cody Looking at the threat and endangerment of the Peyote plant was the most important part of securing the preservation of this sacred plant Synthetic Mescaline is difficult to access and expensive Ceremony It's hard to track the ancient original threats to the traditions The Native American churches have held onto the ceremonial practices very tightly It's important that white people don't just come in and tweak the ceremony The average life expectancy for Native Americans is only in their 50s They have gone through so much suffering, and they are very awake, sensitive people that are holding this culture and practice close to them Alcoholism is one of the largest problems in Native American communities, and Peyote has shown to be a highly tangible benefit and cure for alcoholism Preservation It has taken over 4 years to begin building these alliances Riverstyx and Bronners have been the only sources of funding, they need more Through this, they purchased 605 acres of land for peyote preservation in Texas 600 acres may not solve the Peyote crisis, but it is a start and has opened the doors to connect with other farmers that has now led to 12,000 acres dedicated to peyote preservation This is to return sovereignty and control to the Native After the land was purchased, they had a pilgrimage with the Navajo Peyote is God to them, it's their connection to the spiritual realm Native Americans have resisted acculturation and stuck to their ways, that is their strength Links Email: cody@riverstyxfoundation.org Website About RiverStyx RiverStyx Foundation attempts to lessen human suffering caused by misguided social policy and stigma, while advocating enhanced opportunities for healing, growth, and transformation in such areas as drug policy, criminal justice, and end-of-life care. The Riverstyx Foundation believes in the human potential for healing, growth, and transformation. The Riverstyx Foundation works to provide a bridge to the relinquished parts of ourselves, our society, and our ecology, to ease those fears and prejudices by funding projects that demonstrate the potential for healing and beauty, when life is embraced in its fullest expression.

Dr. Bronners & Co. - Wir haben getestet | #werbung | Bevor wir den Podcast begonnen haben, wussten wir selbst von einigen tollen Dingen in unserem Leben noch nichts. Wir selbst wollten bewusster leben und dieses dann auch in die Welt hinaus tragen, darum gründeten wir dieses Format. So haben wir beispielsweise in Folge 001 das Thema Hygiene behandelt. Dabei ging es hauptsächlich um Waschmittel und Seifen. Wir haben versprochen, einige dieser Mittel auszuprobieren und haben euch gebeten, euch einzubringen und uns Vorschläge zu machen. Gesagt, getan. Wir haben in den letzten Wochen mehrere Seifen und andere Dinge getestet, die für ein bewussteres Leben auf der Straße dienen sollen. In dieser Folge gehen wir ganz ehrlich darauf ein, was uns gefallen hat und was unserer Meinung nach nicht gut ist! Deine Vanlust Hosts Christian & Mogli

Plus an interview that will have you in awe of just how far one company will go to implement agroforestry practices when I talk to Ryan Zinn of Dr Bronners. Plus a long-armed hack and a suuuuuper epic fail!

Episode 10: We’re All One or None! All One! With Dr. Bronner’s CEO David Bronner 150 years and 5 generations of family soapmaking Dr. Bronner’s was founded in 1948 by Emanuel Bronner, a third- generation master soapmaker from a German-Jewish soapmaking family. He used the labels on his superb ecological soaps to spread his message that we must realize our unity across religious & ethnic divides or perish: “We are All-One or None!” Still family-owned and run, Dr. Bronner’s honors its founder’s vision by continuing to make socially & environmentally responsible products of the highest quality, and by dedicating our profits to help make a better world. All-One! David Bronner is Cosmic Engagement Officer (CEO) of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps, the top-selling brand of natural soaps in North America. He is a grandson of company founder, Emanuel Bronner, and a fifth-generation soapmaker. David and his brother Michael established Dr. Bronner’s as a trendsetter in the organic body care industry by becoming one of the first brands to certify its soaps, lotions and balms under the USDA National Organic Program in 2003 — marking the beginning of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps’ issue-oriented activism in the natural products marketplace. David made this possible and meaningful by implementing fair trade all over the earth, family farms, and co-ops. Because of David’s personal mission and efforts, today, Dr. Bronner’s coordinates certified Fair Trade projects for all major ingredients, including olive oil from the West Bank and Israel, coconut oil from Sri Lanka and Kenya, peppermint oil from India and palm oil from Ghana. David pioneered the use of 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) bottles for the liquid soaps, as well as a hemp and recycled paper blend to package the bar soaps. As the main facilitator of the Hemp Industries Association’s (HIA’s) successful multi-year litigation against the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), from 2001-2004, David played a crucial role in US farming of industrial hemp and defending sales of hemp foods and body care in the U.S. David is an active supporter of both the HIA and Vote Hemp. He is also a key leader in the fight to label GMO foods in the U.S. David dedicates time and resources to many different issues on behalf of the company’s mission — which encompasses commitments to making socially and environmentally responsible products of the highest quality, and to dedicating profits to help make a better world. Did you know that Dr. Bronner‘s knows how to heal the soil to heal the planet? This is a Company that selflessly truly lives by example! The most technically sophisticated form of agriculture, designed to solve our future food & climate challenge and the most ancient, wise, and timeless way of growing is Regenerative organic agriculture. David made this possible and meaningful by implementing fair trade all over the earth, family farms, and co-ops. He and his Dr Bronners’ family is helping turn the earth around. From a corporate view it was not the cheapest idea but from the helping the earth view, it was incredible. He achieved this with his innate fundamental, environmental and social ideals and applying them to the earth around us and applying them to reality to serve the ideals Dr. Bronner his grandfather put on the label. Join us as the quest to unite spaceship earth continues. So excited to release my next Grey Matters Now podcast Episode 10 with David Bronner.

Brad continues to discuss topics of recent interest and new strategies he is trying out in training experiments, including his plunging deep into the world of temperature therapy. In consult with Dr. Kelly Starrett, author of Becoming a Supple Leopard and founder of MobilityWOD.com, you’ll get tips to start using cold water therapy as well as heat therapy to pursue the vaunted benefits. Brad has a chest freezer filled with near-freezing water for both morning and evening plunges. For morning, it’s a hermetic stressor to boost adaptive hormones and naturally sharpen central nervous system function. For before bed, a quick plunge helps facilitate a good night’s sleep by lowering body temperature. Brad’s game is to stay for ~3 min at temperatures 36-40F. Not long enough to suffer or shiver for hours afterward. Check out his YouTube videos: Check out his YouTube demonstration coming soon! Short demo to get you started: Coming Soon! A detailed description of benefits and demo: Coming Soon! The deal with cold therapy is to keep it far away from training stimulus. You want the inflammatory process to run its course after a workout, despite the fact that it feels great to cool your legs in an icy river after a hard run or the like. With heat therapy, the infrared sauna causes a mini-fever effect to enhance cellular function and improve cardiovascular function. Starrett likes the hot sauna where you can really sweat and even get uncomfortable before getting out. Brad is doing Chris Kelly’s Nourish BalanceThrive detox protocol of going into a sauna for a big sweat, and immediately scrubbing off with Dr. Bronners soap to clear toxins (since his NBT tests showed residue of toxic metals and rubber by-products in his blood! Possibly a consequence of growing up in smoggy LA or perhaps even drinking from plastic water bottles that have been exposed to heat - like a sunny car.) In furthering the concept of a more varied and relaxed approach to training, Brad references the podcast where he discussed the Simply Running approach of New Zealand Olympic 1500 meter silver and bronze medalist Nick Willis. The takeaway message is to design a training program that is enjoyable, fits conveniently into your other life responsibilities, and tone down the obsessive need to hit arbitrary time or volume standards. Consistency in the context of building fitness is simply not as important as we think it is. Don’t compare yourself to the elites. They are out there for hours every largely because they do have plenty of time to spend on training and are looking for those incremental benefits. Take a page from the bodybuilding scene. Ridicule the bro science if you must, but bodybuilders respect and appreciate the importance of balancing stress and rest—breaking down muscles with intense training and then resting and hyper-nourishing to come back with huge muscles. On the other hand, realize the disastrous consequences of a chronic approach, as we now see the elevated cardiovascular disease risk factors in hard training. Brad also refers to his super nutrition morning green smoothie, also available on YouTube: Coming Soon! Great topics to get you thinking about ways to optimize your approach to training!

There aren't any slick commercials or campaigns advertising Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps. And yet, you've probably heard of the product. The soap is different – some might say a little weird. The most memorable feature isn't the soap itself; it's the labels, which are packed with over 3,000 words about “God’s Spaceship Earth,” Mohammed, Jesus, the Marxist welfare state, arctic timberwolves and more. The quasi-religious rants on the labels were written by the company's founder, Emanuel "Emil" Bronner, an eccentric man who started by selling his liquid peppermint soap to people who would first listen to his soapbox lectures about uniting humanity. When he realized that more people were showing up to buy the soap than listen to what he had to say, he started printing the main tenets of his philosophy right on the labels. In our latest episode of “I Made it in San Diego,” VOSD’s podcast about the region’s businesses and the people behind them, Emil's grandson David Bronner, CEO of Dr. Bronner's, talks about how the family's company has grown from a quirky sideshow soap with a cult following to a multimillion-dollar brand that folks can find at places like Target. David Bronner said the first big boom happened in the '60s, when the rising hippie counterculture embraced the soap, both for its messages of love and unity and for its sustainable, organic ingredients. "My granddad's message just caught fire and became the soap of a generation," he said. Tax problems caused some setbacks – Emil saw Dr. Bronner's as a religious, tax-exempt organization, the IRS did not – but the company, which has its factory in Vista, has continued to grow at a rapid pace. David Bronner attributes the success to putting the company's progressive ethos and messages it champions at the forefront. Issues like fair trade, progressive employment practices and legal marijuana have become central to the business, garnering the company a lot of press. "It's kind of the way my grandpa did it," David Bronner said. "We fight hard for the causes we believe in. And you know we're kind of like cause marketing 101, but way beyond it. People respect that we're not just doing it for the marketing bang, we're actually in our fights to win them." David Bronner, for instance, once locked himself in cage filled with hemp plants in front of the White House in an effort to make the case for the legalization of hemp harvesting in the United States. Hemp is an ingredient in the soap. David Bronner was hesitant about joining the family business, but the activism that's become a big part of his job has made running the company about a lot more than just soap. "It turns out you can write soap into all kinds of interesting, fun, adventurous things," David Bronner said. "And so I'm never bored."

As you may know from reading my article on "", if I can't eat something without it killing me, I don't smear it on my body either. From liquid soaps, to my bar soap, to lip balms to lotions, I've been using as one of my main personal care products sources to follow this simple rule. Unlike most commercial soapmakers, who distill the glycerin out of their soaps to sell separately, Dr. Bronner's retain it in their soaps for its superb moisturizing qualities. They use natural vitamin E from sunflower seeds and citric acid from fermented tapioca to protect freshness. They don't add any chelating agents, dyes, whiteners or synthetic fragrances, and instead use pure and powerful high-quality certified organic essential oils. All their soaps are biodegradable and nature-friendly and their bottles are made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic. In today's podcast, I interview David Bronner, the president of Dr. Bronners, and a guy who has been arrested for hemp activism, written a , and who recently championed a , a drive that unfortunately lost by narrow margins, but is now being revived in another form, which you'll learn all about in today's episode, including: -The amazing story of the original Dr. Bronner... -Why there are over 30,000 words on the label of Dr. Bronner's soaps... -What’s in Dr. Bronner’s soap... -Why not all coconut oil is created equal... -Why David Bronner recently penned this ... -What you can do to stop the toxic production of GMO's on our farmed crops... Do you have questions, comments or feedback about Dr. Bronners or about GMO labeling? Leave your thoughts at , be sure to , and visit to help fight GMO crop production, to cast your vote, to donate and to stop the spread of toxic herbicides.
