In the conventional, mainstream world of so-called biohacking, lies and gaslighting are second nature. People with wrecked bodies trying to fix serious issues with BAND-AIDs. People suffering side effects in silence as a badge of honor. The most successful and followed influencers telling people lies and selling them useless solutions. It truly is a crisis of epic proportions and it's bound to get worse. What is the truth about mainstream biohacking that highly visible individuals are too cowardly to admit? Is there a better way? In this episode, holistic health coach Dave Lee returns for an incredible conversation about all the BS being peddled in most optimization circles. When you block or inhibit a natural biological pathway - a God-given pathway with a drug, it's robbing Peter to pay Paul. It's a karmic effect, at some point you're going to pay that debt. -Jay Campbell Things We Learned - The sentience crisis In today's world, everything is a buzzword, byline or memes. Is it specifically designed to dumb people down? - The awful lie being peddled to the masses Why do they keep pushing testosterone boosters when we know they don't do anything? - Don't compromise long term life trajectory for short-term comfort Are many of the conventional biohacking methods leading people into early, avoidable graves? - Drop 5% body fat - that's all you need to solve your problems Most people associate weight loss with physical transformation, but is it also the key to spiritual elevation?

I am THRILLED to have this opportunity to introduce you to my dear friend Ashley Howatt (IG: @h3o2training) of H3o2training, and for her to share all of her wisdom around structured water, our quantum “water battery,” and so much more. About Ashley: My love of sports and science led me to St Francis Xavier University where I completed a BSc in Human Kinetics. This led to a full time gig as a personal trainer and then a few years as a Kinesiologist at a multidisciplinary Chiropractic Clinic. Along the way I discovered the work of Paul Chek and his world renowned CHEK Institute. This is where my knowledge of all things HOLISTIC health and fitness began. Fast forward a few years and I'm now a licensed level 2 CHEK Practitioner and Holistic Lifestyle Coach! My studies with the CHEK Institute through their Academy continues, as does my research and learning into other topics such as h3o2 water, light, sound, and all things "quantum health." I'm a forever student and passionate teacher. A health detective and dot connector. I work one on one with people where I really listen to your story and gather as many pieces to your puzzle as I can to help you see the big picture and coach you on how to put it all together. My unique coaching style enables clients to empower themselves with new knowledge and understanding, as well as tools and strategies, so that they can feel their best and not be limited or restricted in their life because of ill health, poor fitness or pain."

Okay, so we each have these two "sacred polarities" within us. But what do masculinity and femininity really mean in a day-to-day context? How do we harmonize, or, more importantly in the modern day, identify with these archetypal energies? Welcome back to the Sacred Polarities Podcast Part II, in which our amazing 6 guests (minus Josh this time!) get personal about the role of the sacred Masculine and Feminine in their lives.

Leigh was obsessed with sports as a child (and still is) and has always been active. At age 14, he began weight training in his school's gym, but started taking it seriously at 23. At the age of 27, Leigh completed his first course with the American College of Sports Medicine and his career took off from there! Since then, he's been passionate about learning and turning that knowledge into wisdom through the experience of what is now over 26 years working with clients. Leigh has always sought the ‘best of the best' to learn from and is as passionate about his work and gaining knowledge now as he was in 1996. He's studied many different disciplines, including corrective exercise, strength and conditioning, tennis conditioning, nutrition, functional diagnostic nutrition, energy medicine, Bio Geometry, and manual therapy, to name a few. This has given Leigh the ability to provide a truly holistic approach to helping clients over the years, which they have found very effective, often after other approaches hadn't helped them. Leigh has formally studied with some of the world's greatest minds such as Paul Chek, Bill Wolcott, Dr John Veltheim, Dr Michael Leahy, Dr Dietrich Klinghardt and Dr Ibrahim Karim. Nowadays, most of Leigh's work includes helping clients overcome injuries, gut conditions, and skin conditions. Leigh has also been a member of the Faculty of the world-renowned CHEK Institute since 2010 teaching and presenting in Europe, USA and Australia. He's also published four books and has a number of online professional continuing education programs.

When it comes to the realm of harm reduction within the psychedelic space, many of us are aware of concepts such as minimum effective dosing, however, many are unaware that our lifestyle habits, such as diet, exercise, water intake & sleep also play a big role in this realm. One area that I have been particularly interested in recently with regards to this idea is the notion that many of these medicines can deplete our mineral levels & without a method to reinstate these minerals in our body, we can end up potentially doing more harm than good within our ceremonies as a whole. Stopping back by the show today to dive into this topic & I imagine many others on our epic heart flow journey is a gentleman who is one of, if not the most knowledgeable individual I have had the pleasure of meeting when it comes to physical, emotional, mental & spiritual holistic health. He is a holistic health practitioner, a 5 MEO DMT facilitator, a medical qi gong doctor & a mineral alchemist & along with all of these amazing accolades, he is also a heart centered, joyous person who is an absolute blast to chat with, which are all the reasons why I continue having him back on the show for all of you to benefit from his knowledge & expertise in these fields. Show Notes:(3:00) Why do minerals matter?(8:19) This is ACTUAL healthcare.(13:12) How to test your mineral levels, and which tests to get.(24:42) How minerals are affected by plant medicines.(49:22) Mineral Therapy.(58:35) One final question…About Jason Gandzjuk Jason is a certified Holistic Health Practitioner, specializing in corrective, high-performance exercise kinesiology. Jason takes an integrative approach to health – focused on restoring balance to the body, through lifestyle, mindset, and spiritual direction. He is passionate about helping clients uncover the root cause of their health issues, supporting them as they transform their dreams into reality and create an empowered life they love. Traveling the world as a competitive motocross racer and professional cyclist for over 14 years, Jason understands first-hand the importance of properly conditioning and caring for the body in order to achieve peak performance. During his years as a professional athlete, he struggled with chronic life-threatening injuries and developed severe digestive and cognitive issues that were misdiagnosed by Western medicine. This forced Jason to take his health into his own hands. Through extensive research and working closely with Paul Chek, Jason was able to heal his body holistically, through the very same methods and principles that he now teaches his clients. Jason's own health journey inspired him to pursue continuing education at CHEK Institute, receiving certifications as a CHEK Practitioner and Holistic Lifestyle Coach.Jason soon discovered the power of plant medicine therapy. Having participated in a great number of ceremonies for himself and studied extensively with several highly skilled medicine facilitators, his passion for helping others grew, and he shifted his holistic wellness practice to be centered around integrative plant medicine therapy where he integrates medical qigong energy work with plant medicine. He was able to experience the amazing visions, profound and unmatched peace, connection to self, and healing of deep-rooted trauma. The impact was profound and deep; it ignited a passion and a desire to provide others with this transformative experience. His connection to his purpose became apparent, and he now helps others to be able to experience the same in a safe and guided space.While he still offers his holistic wellness services, his main focus is now on providing integrative plant medicine therapy
Today's show is with Nathan Riley, MD, FACOG. He's a holisitc OBGYN as well as a Chek Institute professional. That's right, a couple of dudes sat down to talk about birth. As someone who is obsessed with human development this interview was a real treat. What could be more pivotal to your development than what happens before, during, and after a pregnancy. For the ladies out there, I hope you find the conversation insightful. For the men, I know this will be insightful. We play a major role in the whole experience… and we'll never know what it's like to give birth. I'll never give birth to another human which is a bummer, but my role for my future children is no small feat.

Within the vast realm of health, let alone the vast realm of fitness, there are SO many different modalities one can employ to ensure they are staying healthy, fit & mobile as they age. A common misnomer that I see society moving out of in the present day in a big way is the misnomer that the body “breaks down” as we age. In my experience, I have found that the famous saying “move it or lose it” is one of the best philosophies to embody if we wish to be active & mobile throughout the course of our lives & allow our lives to be ones which are thriving in nature, rather than ones in which we merely survive. This being said, with more information than ever currently available to us, what are some of the best ways to stay active, mobile & in that state of thriving? In my personal fitness & health journey, one of my best kept secrets is that of the company Stick Mobility, which focuses on the trifecta of strength, mobility & coordination all in one system & todays guest on the show is not only a stick mobility coach, a CHEK trained practitioner & a chiropractic assistant, but he is also someone who has gone through his fair share of challenges within these realms in order to come out the other side with invaluable information for each person listening on how easy it can be to supercharge your health, fitness & mobility in order to live the version of your life that is the greatest & grandest in nature. This week, on Episode 112 of The Highly Optimized Podcast, we talk with personal trainer, stick mobility coach, CHEK Practitioner, and Chiropractic Therapy Assistant Cameron Angus about: (9:49) The Way of the Superior Man & not fitting into the corporate lifestyle.(20:05) Stick Mobility.(28:11) Learning new skills to fuel your passions.(37:52) Gym Mentality.(57:02) Knowing your “Why”.(1:07:22) Outro & One last question!Connect with Cameron on IG: @camangus68Thank you to our podcast sponsors!Freedom Builderz - https://www.freedombuilderz.com/Building profitable online programs FOR coaches using Kajabi so they can smoothly hit 10k months!https://www.highlyoptimized.me This episode was produced by Mazel Tov Media in Quincy, Massachusetts.https://www.mazeltm.com/highlyoptimized

Nicole Devaney is a shining example of a woman who is truly living in her Goddess nature. She is a faculty instructor at the world-renowned CHEK Institute and considers herself to be a “retired healer and self-employed way-show-er,” as she believes we all intuitively crave to be our most vibrant and healthy selves. In this empowering episode you may feel as though you are eavesdropping on Nicole & I chatting like two old friends about our lives, dreams and beliefs about who we are as women in this modern culture. I resonate with her as a dancer, entrepreneur and fellow Warrior-Empress living from the wisdom of her soul. Nicole shares the story of her adventurous career in exotic dance and how breaking her spine led her to healing, love and purpose through the holistic health of the CHEK Institute. We discuss the term “sacred selfishness,” and Nicole explains why it is absolutely okay—and even necessary— to defy the culturally-approved “martyr” identity and care for ourselves with gifts, acceptance (and sometimes chocolate) in a way that may be perceived as selfish. We also take a deep dive into the subject of feminine sexuality and how we can awaken our sacred power as women: from awakening the power in our hips through dance to addressing the myths of peri-menopause and embracing our ever-changing bodies. What would the world be like if we celebrated and acknowledged women's major life transitions between the phases of Maiden, Mother, Empress-Warrior and Wise Woman-Crone? Lastly, I ask Nicole to share some tips on MANifesting your dream partner, and she gives us the inside-scoop on the spiritual growth she experienced through her past and present romantic relationships. Whew… describing this meaningful & intimate episode barely does it justice, so go get cozy and press play!

At the World Congress of Back Pain, it was said that nine in 10 people will have back pain at some point in their life. Of course that will occur in varying degrees. What I have seen a lot in my work, working with injuries as a CHEK practitioner, is that many people who have back injuries are given such a glass ceiling with their diagnosis and treatment options. So if nine in 10 of us are going to experience back pain, what can we do about it? For those who have it severely, what hope do we have? Why is there such a high incidence of back pain? And just what is safe as you know so many people are told never to deadlift again. Today, my guest is Donal Carr, Chek Faculty and CHEK Practitioner and wait for it, my first ever mentor in the fitness industry. You see, almost 20 years ago, Donal Carr interviewed me to be accepted as a Personal Trainer and he was in fact the reason that I became a CHEK practitioner. I have watched Donal rehabilitate some of the most complicated injuries over the years and it is my pleasure to have him here today on the show to discuss the Myths of Back Pain. In the episode we discuss: Different types of back injuries Treatment options Breath Scar Tissue Dietary links to back pain Stress and emotional links to back pain The gabp in rehabilitation When are you really fully rehabilitated? Infant Development Program Design for Back Pain Deadlifts and danger for disc injuries References: Hodges and Hyde Diane Lee Gary Gray Shirley Sahrmann Stuart McGill Paul Chek You can find Donal and his wife and business partner Cathy Carr at www.placeofchi.com and on instagram as @donalcarr and @placeofchi.

Colin's passion is working with clients to help them arrive at a state of health through nutrition, manual therapy modalities, lifestyle and behavioral changes and more.
