Podcasts about grounded

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week, Tom Doyle with Uncharted Ministries and Todd Nettleton with Voice of the Martyrs joined us to share more stories of how God is working around the world included in the lives of persecuted Christians in Gaza, Iran, China, India and Ethiopia. Pastor and author Dr. Erwin Lutzer joined us for a conversation about two contemporaries D. L. Moody and Karl Marx and how they left very different lasting impacts on the world. Marx and the devastating system of Communism and Moody with ministry that continues to train believers to go out and share the enteral gospel with people around the world. Do you struggle with sleep? Many of us do. Emergency Physician and Pastor Dr. Matt Rehrer gave us practical guidance and effective tools for understanding sleep patterns, how sleep actually works and its impact on both our physical and spiritual well-being. Join Janet and Craig for another exploration of this week’s news under the clear and unchanging light of God’s word.

Grounded spycraft, a booby-trapped briefcase, and a villain plan too clever for its own good. Dom Bettinelli, Patrick Mason, and Jeff Haecker argue 1963's From Russia with Love is the truest spy movie of the Connery Bond era. The post The Secrets of From Russia With Love appeared first on StarQuest Media.

If you've ever wondered what goes on in a fragrance trade fair, get ready for all the news as Suzy reviews this year's Pitti Fragranze in Florence. There are some some thrilling new launches and brands to get excited by, and she reveals some of the trends we can expect to see filtering their way through to the wider fragrance world over the coming months.In fact, firstly a storm stopped play as we arrived in Florence, with Suzy's plane stranded on the runway for three hours as lightning struck. Luckily the rest of the trip was exciting for all the right reasons!Suzy has been attending the Pitti Fragranze trade fair for thirteen years, and genuinely felt this was one of the best ever years. The overall vibe seemed to be a return to beauty - classical perfumery elements woven in new and intriguing ways, and with greater cultural diversity from brands showcasing their heritage and aromas they grew up with. We'll be focussing more in this aspect - as well as talking about the trends Suzy saw emerging this year - in next week's episode. But until then, enjoy this whistle-stop rundown of some of Suzy's highlights of the show this year…Suzy's top picks of the show (well SOME of them - there were a lot! We'll have to cover some more in future episodes and on our Patreon page).Beaufort London Sunken TobaccoImagine an ancient, lead-lined wooden box of tobacco—lost in a shipwreck and submerged beneath the sea. Centuries later, the wreck re-emerges and its precious cargo is rediscovered. Barnacled and salt-encrusted, the lid is levered off - within, tobacco lies preserved in shadow and silt.Exposed at last to the sun, the furled leaves begin to bloom: warm, dark, faintly honeyed. Salt crystals glitter on wave-lapped rocks as the tobacco is laid out upon sun-bleached driftwood, its leathery richness threaded with mineral air, smoke, tar and sea-spray.A buried treasure, reclaimed from the deep - not pristine, but made stranger and more compelling by its long immersion. Sunken Tobacco is the scent of faded maps and flooded holds - of a sailor's hoard brought blinking into daylight, still carrying the ocean in its grain.Four new Olfiction Lab Editions (coming soon!

Previously a Lecturer and Collegium Fellow at ETH Zurich, she led the first scientific expedition to decode the rare scents of Mount Olympus using pioneering non-destructive technology. Recognised as an MIT Innovator Under 35 Europe and TEDx speaker, she is redefining perfumery through the convergence of science, sustainability, and the timeless spirit of Greece.‘Born from the rare botanicals of Mount Olympus, OLYMRA transforms myth, memory, and wild nature into modern extrait de parfum.Grounded in earth, inspired by the divine.'Persephone‘Deep. Intimate. Transformative.OLYMRA PERSEPHONE is a fragrance of dual worlds: one of light, one of shadow. Inspired by the mythic queen who walks between both, it captures a moment of transformation: the instant spring yields to desire, and dusk begins to bloom.The fragrance opens with bergamot, pink pepper, and cardamom; bright, spiced notes that shimmer like sunlight across stone. At its heart, a lush pairing of Damask rose, Centifolia rose, and the OLYMRA plant accord, a precise reconstruction of rare mountain flora, unfurls with velvet intensity. Beneath, a deep base of cacao, tonka bean, beeswax, grey amber, and hyrax evokes warmth, earth, and skin; the lingering traces of a myth reborn.OLYMRA PERSEPHONE is not a fragrance of opposition, but of passage and evolution; from innocence to knowing, from surface to depth, from petal to flame. Crafted for those who carry both sunlight and shadow.She walks between worlds. Will you follow her into the dusk?'Kharon‘Dark. Sensual. Elemental.OLYMRA KHARON is a fragrance shaped by myth and memory. Inspired by Kharon, the ferryman of Hades, silent, unwavering, eternal, it is an olfactory passage through the darker recesses of the soul.The scent opens with sharp lemon, luminous neroli, and the spark of black pepper, evoking the moment just before surrender. At its heart, the complexity deepens: Damask rose and tobacco entwine with the OLYMRA Accord, a precise reconstruction of wild flora from Mount Olympus. In the base, smoked wood, beeswax, vetiver, sandalwood, and a bold note of hyrax create a dry, tactile finish; intimate yet vast, like breath inside stone.OLYMRA KHARON is not designed to please. It is designed to confront. To carry. To remain. A fragrance for those drawn not to light, but to truth; wherever it may lead.The river lays ahead... Are you ready to cross?'Laboratorio Olfattivo Bagage à main(translates as hand luggage in British English)‘Leather and Nutmeg; middle notes are Vetiver and Peru Balsam; base notes are Patchouli, Amber, Tonka Bean and Ambronova ™'Laboratorio Olfattivo Rose Me Twice(By Jean-Claude Ellena)‘With over 40,000 varieties, the rose is the flower whose fragrance has been most extensively explored by perfumers — an entire universe in which one can easily lose oneself among its infinite nuances. This exploration took a decisive turn in 1867, when the breeder Jean-Baptiste Guillot created ‘La France', the first hybrid tea rose.With this innovation, Guillot introduced not merely a new flower, but an olfactory signature that would shape perfumery forever. Today, whenever I perceive a tea note within a rose, I immediately recognize its lineage from that historic hybridization. The secret of this aroma lies in a specific molecule: ionone — used to recreate the scent of violet, but also a key component in the olfactory impression of tea.'Heeley ChirisHistoric French house revered and revived by James Heeley in this INCREDIBLE leather / iris / Chypre fragrance.‘The fragrance house of Antoine Chiris dates back to 1768 and is considered to be the first and perhaps the greatest of the enterprises that made a business of harvesting natural materials and turning them into the raw materials of perfumery and, at times, creating the perfumes themselves.Antoine de Chiris was born into a wealthy family of Italian origin. In Grasse he began buying up fields which produced flowers which were converted into perfumery materials. Chiris held early patents on a steam distillation process capable of producing significant amounts of high quality oil at an economic cost. This technology helped made Grasse the international focus of perfumery for over a century and a half.'History from https://www.perfumeprojects.com/museum/marketers/Chiris.shtmlThe fragrance: ‘Chiris by James Heeley is an iris and leather fragrance created by James Heeley and launched in 2026. It pays tribute to Chiris, the historic perfume-materials producer founded in Grasse in 1768, and to the Iris Pallida it cultivated in Tuscany. Osmanthus, citrus and peach open the composition, followed by Iris Pallida and olibanum over a base of leather, cedar, sandalwood and amber.'Lorenzo Villoresi Vol D'AbarisThe nose behind this fragrance is Alessandro Villoresi. The fragrance features Tobacco, Amber, Vanilla, Musk and Woody Notes.

What if your family, neighborhood, and workplace aren't just parts of your routine, but places where God has uniquely positioned you to make a difference? Andrew wasn't the most famous disciple, but he was Peter's brother, and he used that relationship to bring Peter to Jesus. Today we'll discover how God can use the relationships already around us and a simple BLESS rhythm to begin loving people intentionally. You don't have to reach everyone. Start with the people God has already placed in your life.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Two First Nations-owned literary organisations have recently launched the First Stories Collective, a national network for storytelling and publishing. Delivered in partnership by Blak & Bright and Magabala Books, the Collective will deliver professional development opportunities, reduce financial barriers, and provide culturally grounded pathways for First Nations Australians. The Collective aims to promote visibility in an industry where fewer than 1% of staff identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, according to the 2022 Australian Publishing Industry Workforce Survey.

1943 WAR EMERGENCY PIPELINECONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 9-16Global Diesel Shortage Spans Multiple ContinentsMichael Bernstam explains Ukrainian drone strikes against Russian refineries impact domestic Russian consumption rather than global markets because Moscow previously banned refined petroleum exports. The worldwide diesel crisis stems from losing 2.5 million barrels daily due to Middle Eastern supply disruptions, Strait of Hormuz closures, and pipeline attacks. With global refineries running at 96% to 98% capacity, facilities face severe quality mismatch issues because domestic shale crude yields less diesel than heavy Middle Eastern imports. Meanwhile, overall Russian oil production dropped by 1.5 million barrels per day. New United States congressional legislation permits potential 100% tariffs on purchasing nations. (1)America Deploys Operational Space Control WeaponsRick Fisher reports Air Force officials publicly confirmed that the United States deployed operational space control weapons capable of protecting joint military forces. A French Space Agency graphic recently detailed orbital assets operated by America, Russia, and China, including telemetry jamming, proximity operations, and kinetic collision satellites. These classified capabilities were maintained secretly across multiple congressional administrations to prevent a dangerous space arms race. Strategic tensions surrounding Iran or potential Russian aggression in Europe likely prompted this public disclosure. Importantly, these conventional defense systems fully comply with established Outer Space Treaty terms because the agreement exclusively bans nuclear weapons. (2)Canada Seeks EU Integration Amid RealignmentCharles Burton reports Canada is rapidly reorienting its economic and defense relationships away from dependency on the United States. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed opening associate membership to Canada, creating a unique alliance covering defense, trade, and personnel movement. Supported by former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canadian leaders are promoting infrastructure initiatives to redirect trade flows while granting Europeaccess to critical minerals. Polling indicates that over 70% of Canadians identify with European values, whereas USsympathy dropped to 16% due to trade unpredictability. Canada also quietly strengthened strategic military defense ties with China regarding security. (3)Hellscape Defense Strategy Deters Taiwan InvasionRebecca Grant reports the United States Indo-Pacific Command developed an offensive tactical framework named Hellscape to counter potential Chinese invasions of Taiwan. Designed by Admiral Samuel Paparo, Hellscape deploys swarms of cheap drones, loitering munitions like Damocles, and unmanned vehicles to confuse attacking Chinese forces. This strategy draws upon lessons from Ukrainian drone warfare to disrupt enemy spectrum operations and clear pathways for heavy precision weapons. Regional allies including Japan, Australia, and the Philippines are integrating into this defense architecture. To ensure deterrence succeeds, Taiwan must receive delayed military shipments of advanced electronic warfare systems for its fighter jets without delay. (4)Diplomatic Strains Impact Global Western AlliancesMary Kissel notes global polls indicate declining trust in American leadership as both the United States and China are perceived as international threats. Friction over tariffs and rhetoric pushed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to pursue European Union associate membership and deeper ties with Beijing. In Ukraine, American requests asking Kyivto spare Russian oil refineries reflect a flawed moral equivalency that undermines deterrence against aggression. Meanwhile, escalating Middle Eastern instability and Houthi chokeholds along Red Sea shipping lanes threaten Saudienergy security, risking a shift where Gulf allies seek Chinese security partnerships if Washington fails to provide reliable military backing today. (5)Addressing Transnational Repression Before Summit MeetingPiero Tozzi, co-host Gordon Chang: Ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's summit in Washington, Tozzi urges increased protections against Beijing's transnational repression targeting dissidents, Tibetans, and Uyghurs on American soil. China operates clandestine police stations in cities like New York and Boston while using its United Frontapparatus to suppress peaceful protest movements. Grounded in a legalist Leninist governance ideology that demands complete cognitive control, Beijing recently enacted an ethnic unity law requiring families to teach love for the Communist Party. United States foreign policy must prioritize releasing prominent political prisoners, including Hong Kong Catholic publisher Jimmy Lai from solitary confinement in prison. (6)Historical Roots Shape Complex Yemen ConflictGregory Copley explains the ongoing conflict in Yemen reflects deep historical, cultural, and tribal divisions stretching back to pre-Islamic Jewish roots. Mountainous North Yemen, led by Hashemite Zaydis, maintains historical claims as traditional guardians of Mecca and Medina predating Saudi control. Demonstrating sophisticated defense capabilities, North Yemeni forces recently downed a Royal Saudi strike jet. Meanwhile, Egypt refuses to reenter the conflict after its disastrous 1960s war, leaving Oman as the primary regional mediator. Additionally, Canada is strengthening economic ties with Europe and King Charles III to reassert national sovereignty independent of Washington trade policy pressure across global commercial sectors today. (7)European Inflation Escalates Under Energy PressuresSimon Constable reports a severe heatwave in southern France damaged sunflower harvests while diesel prices soared to $9.20 per gallon, causing widespread agricultural and logistical distress. Rising European natural gas costs pushed electricity rates up 12% in one month, driving price hikes across essential agricultural commodities like corn and wheat. Meanwhile, public opposition against artificial intelligence data centers reflects underlying hostility toward wealthy technology figures rather than environmental impact. In the United Kingdom, escalating national debt service costs reached $127 billion annually, far surpassing the nation's $80 billion defense budget during severe ongoing international economic challenges facing European leadership in government circles. (8)Commercial Space Programs Advance Amid ShakeupsBob Zimmerman reports SpaceX is preparing Starship Super Heavy for an orbital test carrying commercial Starlinksatellites, while Amazon booked extra Ariane 6 launches to deploy its constellation. Meanwhile, NASA awarded Blue Origin a $700 million Mars communication satellite contract based on its Blue Ring orbital tug, prompting an unusual formal protest from Rocket Lab. Internationally, China is conducting an unannounced major organizational overhaul of its lunar program following recent mission failures. Additionally, American authorities arrested a Chinese tourist for flying drones over restricted Kennedy Space Center launchpads, and Djibouti joined the Artemis Accords as the newest member nation in global space.

In competitive sports, athletes who struggle to follow plays, miss subtle social cues, or freeze during high-pressure moments are often branded as uncoachable, unmotivated, or even defiant. Because athletic environments lack formal supports like IEPs or 504 plans, coaches often default to traditional, high-pressure discipline, mistaking neurological overwhelm for a lack of commitment. Courtney Edman, an executive function coach, founder of 2tametheshamE, and co-host of the See Me Podcast, joins Emily Kircher-Morris to explore what changes when coaches and families view sports through a neurodiversity-affirming lens. TAKEAWAYS Being coachable is not a static personality trait, it often depends on whether a coach delivers instructions in a way an athlete's brain can process and act upon. Motivation and physical activation occur in different regions of the brain, meaning a neurodivergent athlete can be deeply motivated while still struggling with task initiation. Athletic spaces lack formal school accommodations like 504 plans, making it important for coaches to proactively look for sensory and communication barriers rather than defaulting to discipline. Neurodivergent athletes bring unique strengths to sports, including high-level pattern recognition, statistical recall, strategic thinking, and deep hyperfocus. True athletic resilience is built by establishing a secure, trusting relationship with a mentor rather than subjecting young players to harsh, overwhelming environments. Missed social cues or literal interpretations during team drills often reflect communication mismatches rather than poor sportsmanship, disrespect, or bad attitudes. We're getting closer to our annual, free Creating Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools Crash Course. Our a panel of experts will talk all about how to approach the new school year and set our neurodivergent students up for success. The event is Tuesday, September 22 at 7:30 PM Eastern, and again, it is free to register and attend. Here's a link to register and join us! Courtney Edman is an executive function and life skills coach, parent coach, speaker, and the founder of 2tametheshamE, Inc. She brings more than two decades of clinical and developmental expertise to her practice, including 18 years in Early Intervention supporting families through complex genetic and neurological diagnoses, NICU stays, and long-term medical care. She also served as managing director for a specialized home-based physical therapy practice treating chronic, life-shortening conditions. Today, Courtney integrates her clinical foundation with her personal insight as a former student-athlete and parent of three adult children, including two collegiate athletes and a twice-exceptional son with ADHD and anxiety. Grounded in neurophysiology and family systems, she equips neurodivergent individuals, parents, and educators to reframe behavior, strengthen relationships, and rebuild executive functioning skills. Her work focuses on practical roadmaps that foster lasting confidence and autonomy at home, in the classroom, in the workplace, and in competition.

Church hurt is real, and for some people, it becomes a reason to walk away from faith altogether. But the failures of imperfect people don't change who Jesus is. Today we'll look at the difference between introducing someone to a church and introducing them to Jesus. We can acknowledge the ways Christians and churches sometimes get it wrong while still pointing people toward the One who never changes.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

CAPTION  1945 TRINITY TESTNuclear Deterrence And Russian Coercive ThreatsPeter Huessy examines Vladimir Putin's routine use of nuclear threats as weapons of blackmail, coercion, and "reflexive control" to deter NATO involvement in Ukraine. Grounded in a 1999 decree authorizing low-yield tactical nuclear weapons, Putin's rhetoric treats nuclear employment as a political instrument despite the catastrophic economic and human consequences of any nuclear detonation. Huessy emphasizes that nuclear use constitutes criminality rather than strategy. To counter Russian coercion, the U.S. maintains strong extended nuclear deterrence through visible bomber deployments in allied nations and modernizing sea-launched cruise missile systems to ensure long-term stability.

CAPTION  1914 BERLIN BANK RUNCONTENTS-JBS-9-15Federal Reserve Rate Hikes And AILiz Peek expects the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates by 25 basis points due to persistent inflation stuck between 3% and 3.5%. While U.S. economic fundamentals remain strong—with GDP growth exceeding 4% and robust consumer spending—rising diesel fuel prices over $6 per gallon are driving broader price increases across businesses. Refinery constraints and global energy pressures continue to exacerbate these cost headwinds. Regarding artificial intelligence, Peek argues that data center concerns and job loss fears are overstated, though emerging self-generating AI capabilities warrant self-regulation rather than Congressional intervention. (1)Iranian Proxy Warfare Disrupts Regional SecurityJonathan Schanzer analyzes how Iranian proxy strategy is disrupting regional security by targeting Persian Gulfenergy infrastructure. The Houthis have seized key Yemeni Red Sea territory including Mocha, while Iraqi militias shut down Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, restricting global oil flows. Desperate for military support, Saudi Arabia has engaged with regional partners and Israel. Meanwhile in Lebanon, the Israeli military continues dismantling Hezbollah's underground infrastructure, though political dysfunction in Beirut hampers government control over liberated areas. In Gaza, permanent stabilization remains tied to the difficult task of disarming Hamas through military power. (2)German Populism Politics And Monetary PolicyJoseph Sternberg examines the electoral rise of Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in Saxony-Anhalt, highlighting concerns over unpurged neo-Nazi elements within its leadership. While France's Marine Le Pen cleaned up her party's extremist image, the AfD retains radical elements, yet attracts frustrated voters in East Germany due to immigration and economic grievances. Sternberg also notes JD Vance's controversial alignment with European right-wing parties. Turning to economics, Sternberg discusses the Federal Reserve under Kevin Warsh considering a rate hike amid global bond selloffs, rising long-term yields, persistent inflation, and low-growth fiscal challenges in Britain. (3)European Energy Costs And German PoliticsJudy Dempsey and Thaddeus McCotter analyze European energy vulnerabilities and German political turmoil. Global diesel shortages and rising fuel prices are straining European economies and driving inflation, while U.S. aid to Ukrainehas dropped by 99%. President Trump requested Ukraine cease targeting Russian refineries, though Kyiv lacks sufficient air defenses. In Germany, Chancellor Friedrich Merz faces severe pressure over long-overdue economic reforms alongside electoral gains by the far-right AfD in Saxony-Anhalt and upcoming state elections. Meanwhile, Polandexperiences growing anti-Ukrainian sentiment, and Germany's military is shifting focus toward protecting Ukrainianinfrastructure. (4)Trump Family Ties To Russian OperativesCraig Unger details a ProPublica investigation revealing that Umar Kremlev, head of the International Boxing Association and associate of Vladimir Putin, funded hundreds of thousands of dollars for Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding parties. Kremlev has ties to Russian organized crime, Putin's security apparatus, and an organization linked to kidnapping Ukrainian children. Unger explains that Russian organized crime operates as an arm of state security. Reviewing historical ties dating back to 1980 KGB fronts and 2016 campaign contacts with GRU associates, Unger highlights major ethical and constitutional concerns regarding the Trump family's financial gains. (5)Nuclear Deterrence And Russian Coercive ThreatsPeter Huessy examines Vladimir Putin's routine use of nuclear threats as weapons of blackmail, coercion, and "reflexive control" to deter NATO involvement in Ukraine. Grounded in a 1999 decree authorizing low-yield tactical nuclear weapons, Putin's rhetoric treats nuclear employment as a political instrument despite the catastrophic economic and human consequences of any nuclear detonation. Huessy emphasizes that nuclear use constitutes criminality rather than strategy. To counter Russian coercion, the U.S. maintains strong extended nuclear deterrence through visible bomber deployments in allied nations and modernizing sea-launched cruise missile systems to ensure long-term stability. (6)Midterm Politics Policies And Economic RealitiesThaddeus McCotter evaluates midterm election dynamics, pointing to low presidential approval ratings and a 7% gap favoring Democrats. He criticizes President Trump's proposed $5,000 dividend tied to maintaining a Republicanmajority as an un-Republican, redistributionist scheme that undermines fiscal discipline during high inflation. McCotter notes that combining cash injections with demands for Federal Reserve rate cuts will likely guarantee interest rate hikes. High gas ($4.59) and diesel ($6.09) prices continue fueling voter discontent. Furthermore, McCotter lambasts asking Ukraine to stop attacking Russian refineries as prioritizing campaign optics over existential defense realities. (7)Narrative History And The Western TraditionAllen Guelzo, co-author with James Hankins of the two-volume The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition, emphasizes the crucial role of narrative history. Guelzo notes a one-third decline in college history majors over fifteen years, driven by employment anxieties and hyper-professionalized academic specialization that neglects broader historical storytelling. Using historical examples like Gettysburg and Thermopylae, he illustrates how core civilizational ideas about freedom, human nature, and the pursuit of truth inspire human flourishing. Guelzo highlights the resilience of Western civilization, which routinely undergoes cultural renaissances following major historical crises. (8)

Modern life can leave us feeling overstimulated, emotionally drained, and disconnected from ourselves. How can we slow down, get grounded, and reconnect with a deeper sense of inner calm? In this episode, I speak with Master Mingtong Gu, an internationally recognized Qigong teacher, healer, and founder of The Chi Center. He has spent decades helping thousands of people cultivate greater well-being through Wisdom Healing Qigong and embodied practices. We explore why so many of us feel disconnected today, how chronic stress affects the mind and body, and how breath, movement, mindfulness, and embodied awareness can help us feel more grounded and present. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or craving more calm and balance, this conversation offers a meaningful path back to yourself.

Histamine is quite possibly the most popular buzzword in healthcare right now and for good reason. For those living with a vestibular condition and dealing with a histamine intolerance, it can feel like a lot to understand and manage. In this episode, I’m breaking down what histamine is, what histamine intolerance can look like, how it’s impacting vestibular disorders and migraine, and what you can do about it. In this episode, we'll dig into: What histamine is and its role in your immune system, digestion, sleep, mood, memory, and more The 4 types of histamine receptors and what they have to do with your symptoms Histamine intolerance vs. MCAS What happens when you don’t have enough of the DAO enzyme What contributes to histamine intolerance and what it can look like How to properly diagnose histamine intolerance What you can do to support your liver if you have histamine intolerance How to do a low-histamine diet the right way How food freshness affects histamine levels The histamine-migraine connection What research is showing about histamine’s role in the vestibular system and inner ear How addressing histamine can make previous treatments that didn't work suddenly start working When there’s too much histamine in the body than what the body can actively remove, you’ll have more histamine reactions and a harder time processing histamine in general. I want you to remember though that all hope is not lost! For additional support, we have the webinar with Isabel Smith that touches on histamine intolerance, as well as liver and gut support inside Vestibular Group Fit.  We will also have Natalie Sampson, a Board Certified Genetic Counselor, joining me on a future podcast episode!

What does it take to turn a single moment of compassion into a lifelong mission? After a career spent supporting children in Vancouver's inner-city classrooms, Patti Shales Lefkos set out on a journey that carried her far beyond anything she'd imagined — into the remote mountain villages of the Nepali Himalaya, where a village asked her to help rebuild a school that was falling down around its students. She didn't promise anything. A year to the day after she stood in that village, the 2015 earthquake flattened it. Host Dr. Laura Scherck Wittcoff talks with Patti about the schools, homes, and scholarships that grew out of that moment, what she learned about listening instead of assuming, and why, at 79 and about to turn 80, she's packing for Kanchenjunga. Guest Patti Shales Lefkos, Founder, Nepal One Day at a Time Society. Following a rewarding career as a teacher, administrator, and advocate for Vancouver inner-city children, Patti studied journalism at Langara College. She's a graduate of the University of Toronto, Toronto Teachers College, Simon Fraser University, and a wilderness leadership program. She is the author of Nepal One Day at a Time: One Woman's Quest to Teach, Trek, and Build a School in the Remote Himalaya and Grounded by Granite, a coming-of-age story of family connection and personal resilience framed by summers on a remote island in the Canadian Shield. A third book, about the 800-kilometre Great Himalaya Trail trek she completed at 77, is currently seeking a publisher. She founded the British Columbia nonprofit Nepal One Day at a Time Society to support education, health care, and home building in Nepal, and lives near Silver Star Mountain in the BC interior. What is Nepal One Day at a Time Society? A small British Columbia nonprofit that funds education, health care, and home building in remote Nepali villages — the kind of places that sit at the end of the road, where children walk two hours each way to reach a classroom and the nearest bookstore is a two-day journey to Kathmandu. The organization works through long-standing relationships with a Nepali trekking company and its affiliated NGO rather than parachuting in. Two partner schools. The first, whose original 55-year-old building had a condemned top floor and rain coming through into the classrooms below, now runs kindergarten through grade ten and serves roughly 350 students. The second, a small primary school in the far northwest reached during the Great Himalaya Trail trek, serves about 150 children in classrooms with dirt floors and bare cement walls. Three homes rebuilt after the earthquake, at roughly $15,000 USD each — a two-room house with an outdoor bathroom and a front porch, built to post-earthquake standards with rebar corners. Student sponsorships. Rosina, sponsored from grade five in the village, is now 23, has graduated in physiotherapy, and lives in Australia. The guide's 12-year-old son is next. School supplies and technology. A first gift of $500 for library books — the school had none — followed by $6,000 for supplies, more books, and three computers for a staff that had none. Low overhead. The partner NGO is staffed by young people from the region who handle administration through the trekking company, keeping admin costs to roughly 3–5%. Funded by Rotary clubs in Vernon, BC, and Kingston, Ontario, profits from Patti's books, photo art cards of Nepal and Tibet, speaking engagements, and individual donors. Key Topics Covered A book in grade ten, and forty years of waiting. Patti grew up an outdoor kid on an island with no electricity, drinking straight from the lake, long before screen time. Then a novel on the grade ten curriculum — Lost Horizon — put the magic of the Himalaya in her head, and she filed it away. A year of high school in Switzerland got her a passport and a taste for adventure, and then she did all the expected things: university, teachers college, a career. It was only after retiring, and after journalism school, that she and her husband picked up passports again and started walking. A coast-to-coast hike across England was the shakedown. Tibet was next, including a three-day circumambulation of sacred Mount Kailash at an altitude she'd never experienced. She was hooked. The decision to go alone. They'd planned to return to Nepal together to visit their guide's and porter's villages and volunteer as teachers. Days before departure, her husband ruptured his Achilles tendon. Friends and family were getting sick. Her reasoning was blunt and worth hearing: you don't know what will happen to you next. With her husband's blessing, and with the same guide and company guaranteed, she went by herself. "Would you help us build a school?" After her volunteer teaching, her guide Raj took her to a village at the end of a road that had never received outside help. The school building was 55 years old, built by the villagers themselves. The top floor was condemned. They were still using the main floor, with rain coming through from above. The villagers asked her directly. Her honest first thought: they think all Westerners are rich — what could I possibly do? She promised nothing and went home to think. A year to the day, while still in Nepal, she'd met a Buddhist monk in Upper Mustang who was building a school for children with no access to education at all, funding it by giving teachings in Singapore five months a year. That conversation about what was possible stayed with her. She came home, mulled it over, looked into what starting a nonprofit would take — and then, a year to the day after she'd stood in that village, the earthquake hit. The area she'd visited was at the epicenter. Every home in the village was gone. Her husband, an outdoor guy who hates computers, built a slideshow. They showed it at Silver Star Mountain and raised $1,000 the first night. Then she joined her local Rotary Club, and everything scaled from there. Coffee, tea, and the discipline of listening. The most transferable lesson in the episode, and it comes from Vancouver, not Nepal. Trying to get parents involved at an inner-city school, Patti's team put out coffee every morning for the grandmothers dropping off the primary kids. They didn't want coffee. They wanted tea. She carries that into every village: don't decide what people need. Ask them. When she stood on that school playground in northwestern Nepal, the question she asked was simply, " Do you have any library books? Would you like some"? Being told about her own privilege, Patti recounts a former staff member giving her what she describes as a long lecture — that as a white, middle-class woman whose parents and grandparents went to university, she was operating from privilege. Her response, decades later and on the record: "that was really good for me to hear." Laura connects it to the reason the relationship works — the villages hold parades for her, which is not how a colonial dynamic looks. How she vets where the money goes: Patti admits she was long reticent about charities and what share actually reaches the work. Her answer has been to build relationships rather than write checks: a good feeling about the head of the trekking company that a first trip confirmed, a principal who traveled two days to Kathmandu to buy books and sent photos back, a guide who translates and vouches, and a partner NGO whose admin is handled by local young people at a few percent of the total. 800 kilometres at 77 In 2023, believing they had one last long trek in them, Patti and her husband designed their own route on the Great Himalaya Trail, which runs the length of Nepal. They walked 800 kilometres over 75 days with a guide, a cook who had cooked as high as Camp Two on Everest, and a donkey man with five or six animals carrying food and camping equipment. In the first 50 days they met perhaps seven or eight other Westerners — which is exactly what they wanted, because it meant being with Nepali people the whole way. She journaled daily and photographed a wipe-off sign each night recording the day number, kilometres walked, total distance, and altitude. Why she doesn't trek with big groups anymore On the Tibet trip, a man on their trek died of altitude sickness — a man who had climbed Kilimanjaro the year before. On her first Nepal trek, feeling sick at 12,000 feet, Raj simply said they'd stay put another day and see. She was fine. In a group of thirty, she notes, you're pressured forward: go ahead when you don't want to, or lose the group. Being able to make your own call is the whole point.

Hannah Foster is my cousin's daughter (my 2nd cousin?), and I happened to see a post on Instagram where she was an intern this summer, and I felt first, SO proud, and also like we could all learn something from this. I haven't seen Hannah or my cousin in a few years, since before she graduated high school, so I missed what she was focusing on - and totally missed what an avid learner she has become, and also that she was doing an internship! It was so fun catching up with her, and hearing about her being nominated for the internship - also that she's never grown food before, which makes the internship all the more important and exciting for her. Hannah just started her Junior year at Central Connecticut State University (CCSU), and is majoring in Secondary Education, with an English focus. One of her advisors suggested her for this 10 week summer Outreach Ed internship with Northwest Conservation District (NWCD). She learned a ton, as well as refreshing on some things. She was learning about water conservancy, forestry and environmental education outreach, as well as leading others in the group - she was also working on some social media content that would also be used as a blog. She learned about the importance of soil health and about community gardens, how and when to prune trees, and which to prune.She also works for the school radio station and hosts a live show on Tuesday evenings called Hanging with Hannah - and she's taken on training new folks (I'm seeing a leadership trend) Check out her radio feed on Instagram here: @hanginwifhannahPersonally, I"m so glad Hannah said yes to this internship, because this excitement she has for caring for the earth is so necessary! I'm grateful she had this experience and education, and I'm so glad she came here to share with us!Northwest Conservation District's website, for resources: https://nwcd.org/Hannah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hann.fos/Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

We often think we need more knowledge, better answers, or stronger faith before we can talk to someone about Jesus. Andrew didn't wait. After meeting Jesus, the first thing he did was find his brother and tell him what he'd discovered. Today we'll see why sharing our faith doesn't require having everything figured out. Sometimes it simply means telling someone what you already know and trusting God with what happens next.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Episode Description: In this broadcast, Brother Mike from the Arizona Deliverance Center uncovers the spiritual forces behind the escalating violence, parental betrayals, and tragic crimes across the country. Examining tragic cases from New York to Texas, Brother Mike illustrates how spiritual deception and evil afflictions infect minds to drive destructive acts. Grounded in Scripture, this teaching highlights the urgency of turning to God, offering hope, prayer, and deliverance for individuals and families facing spiritual opposition. Key Takeaways: The Spiritual Roots of Violence: Physical acts of murder, harm, and parental betrayal often stem from deceptive spiritual influences targeting vulnerable minds. Exposing Deception: The enemy operates through lies and corruption to distort truth, destabilize families, and promote destruction. Recognizing the Signs of Spiritual Warfare: Recent culture-wide surges in violence and mental health crises reflect an urgent need for spiritual discernment and intervention. Finding Hope and Deliverance: True healing, restoration, and freedom from dark spiritual influences are available through faith-based ministry, prayer, and commitment to God. Scripture References: John 8:44 – "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it."

Baruch HaLevi opens this conversation with a statistic most listeners have never heard: every 13 minutes in America, a man dies by suicide, and men account for roughly 80% of all suicide deaths. For Baruch, this isn't abstract. He's lost family members to suicide across multiple generations, and he candidly shares that he himself came close to the same fate about a decade ago, during a period of profound identity loss after stepping away from 20 years as a rabbi. Grounded in the work of Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, Baruch and Larry talk through what actually helps a man in genuine despair: finding a "why not," the specific reason to keep going, learning to sit with guilt without letting it curdle into shame, and the necessity of real, honest community instead of empty check-ins. Both men share their own history with suicidal crisis directly. If you or someone you love has ever been in a season that felt unbearable, this conversation offers a clear, compassionate way through it, but given the depth of what's discussed, please take care with how and when you engage with it.   Timeline Summary [1:24] Introducing the statistic behind Baruch's mission: a man dies by suicide every 13 minutes in America [2:41] Baruch shares that his father and grandmother both died by suicide, and that it's deeply personal to his work [4:50] Larry and Baruch each share their own history of suicidal crisis [7:07] Discovering Viktor Frankl's work as a turning point during his own darkest season [11:11] Rebuilding identity from the ground up after stepping away from a lifelong profession [12:22] A full introduction to Baruch: logotherapist, rabbi, author of "The Guy in the Glass" [13:40] The origin of the book's title, tied to a poem given to Baruch by his grandfather [16:21] Larry announces the first-ever Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals, November 15th [18:24] Baruch reflects on why his father reached the point he did [27:46] Introducing the concept of a "why not" as a foundation to keep living [29:49] Discussing how the idea of "finding your why" has become diluted in modern culture [31:19] Viktor Frankl's concept of self-transcendence: living for something beyond yourself [36:50] Larry announces a rare, small-group preview of the Dad Edge Business Boardroom Brotherhood [38:00] How genuine community changes the experience of shame and crisis [41:11] Why hiding in isolation during a hard season is actually a disservice to others [45:37] The loss of Baruch's closest friend, and the concept of "bearing witness" to another man's life [47:45] Unpacking the phrase "shame dies in safe conversations," and the difference between guilt and shame [49:53] Details on Baruch's book, his mission, and where to find his work [51:37] What Baruch would say directly to a man in a moment of crisis [53:24] Larry shares an important reframe he once heard from his own therapist   Five Key Takeaways Finding a concrete "why not," a specific reason not to give up, can be as important as finding a broader life purpose when someone is in genuine crisis. Guilt and shame are not the same thing. Guilt corrects behavior and can be redemptive; shame attacks a person's fundamental worth and has no redemptive value. Healthy communities make room for guilt and accountability without slipping into shame. Self-transcendence, living for something or someone beyond yourself, is described as the deepest source of meaning available to a person, more foundational than personal happiness or self-actualization alone. Withdrawing into isolation during a hard season doesn't protect the people who care about you, it deprives them of the chance to show up for you, and it removes the example of bravery that could help someone else going through the same thing. Genuine connection, being truly seen and known by another person, is one of the most protective forces against despair. Real community requires honesty, not surface-level check-ins that accept "I'm fine" as a real answer.   Links & Resources Baruch HaLevi: https://bhalevi.com The Guy in the Glass by Baruch HaLevi: https://bhalevi.com The Dad Edge Day at State Farm Stadium: https://thedadedge.com/nfl The Dad Edge Boardroom Mastermind: https://thedadedge.com/guest The Dad Edge Podcast: https://thedadedge.com/1530   Closing If you are having thoughts of suicide, or you're worried about someone who might be, please don't wait.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, Jason reflects on the end of American naivety. What felt like unity collapsed into fog after Iraq, weapons of mass destruction, Building 7, and the questions "Loose Change" forced. From "The Wire's" warning that men fight on a lie to JFK, COVID, George Floyd, and Hollywood propaganda, he traces how distrust replaced trust. Yet 9/11 became blessing, driving faith in God over government. Grounded in 2 Corinthians 6:17, Romans 1:28, and Isaiah 5:20, this monologue calls fearless soldiers seeking biblical clarity in insane times to watch, share, and stand today. ➢ Show Outline 0:00 - Where Did Our 9/11 Unity Go 0:53 - The Iraq War Lie 2:06 - Fog of War and 9/11 Doubts 3:56 - The Wire and Fighting on a Lie 5:06 - Reexamining JFK and American History 6:10 - How Terrorism Won Psychologically 7:11 - What 9/11 Taught Me About COVID 8:40 - What 9/11 Taught Me About George Floyd 9:45 - Hollywood Has Lost Its Mind 12:42 - Finding Faith When Narratives Fail 18:48 - The Lone Holdout Juror That Moved Me ➢ Subscribe to Jason's other channel https://www.youtube.com/JasonWhitlock?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockHarmony?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockBYOG?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockClips?sub_confirmation=1 ➢ Connect with Jason on Social Media:  https://x.com/JasonWhitlock  https://www.instagram.com/realjasonwhitlock/ https://www.facebook.com/jasonwhitlock ➢ Send Jason an Email FearlessBlazeShow@gmail.com ➢ Support The Blaze Visit https://TheBlaze.com.

In this episode of Healing with WORTH, Markell and Lauren explore how visualization can support women healing from betrayal trauma. They share how mental rehearsal strengthens boundaries, interrupts old patterns, calms the nervous system, and helps you show up with clarity instead of reactivity. Through spiritual insight, grounding tools, and lived experience, they explain how visualization expands perspective, gently processes emotions, and reconnects you with hope. This simple but powerful practice becomes a way to move through triggers, build resilience, and act from your best self—one intentional step at a time.

None of us knows what tomorrow will bring. One moment life can feel completely secure, and the next everything can change. As we finish our short course in wisdom from Ecclesiastes 7, we'll discover two reasons Solomon says wisdom matters so much: it helps protect us from unnecessary pitfalls and gives us perspective when life doesn't go as planned. Whether you're in a season of plenty or facing something you never expected, God invites you to ask Him for the wisdom you need for whatever comes next.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

We want results quickly, answers now, and progress we can see. But some of the most important things in life simply can't be rushed. Solomon warns us that impatience and pride can cause us to force something before its time or walk away before the work is finished. Today we'll discover why patience is essential to finishing well and why we don't have to keep looking backward for the "good old days." Where might God be asking you to stay patient and keep going?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

What happens when leaders stop performing, start telling the truth and allow themselves to be human?In this episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Tobi speaks with Jim Brown—leadership advisor, founder of OrgHealth, former partner at The Table Group and USA Today bestselling author of The Imperfect CEO. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience alongside CEOs, boards and executive teams, Jim explores why healthy leadership begins with honesty rather than perfection.Together, they examine the hidden pressure many leaders carry to appear certain, capable and in control—even when trust is weakening beneath the surface. Jim explains how the corporate “telephone game” distorts communication as organisations grow, why culture problems are often personal problems in disguise and what happens when ego, fear and image management replace truthful conversation.The conversation also enters the “messy middle”: the uncomfortable space where old leadership habits have stopped working but healthier ways of relating have not yet taken root. Jim reflects on the team trials that reveal what success can conceal, the freedom of admitting that we do not have all the answers and the difference between leading as a hero and leading as a steward.Grounded in Jim's Christian faith and his experiences as a father and grandfather, this episode is an invitation to rethink success, legacy and responsibility. Real leadership is not a polished performance. It is the courage to face reality, care for people and build trust through honest conversation.Chapters00:00 Leading with Humanity Instead of Ego10:21 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Leadership21:00 The Imperfect CEO and the Power of Vulnerability31:52 Communication and the Corporate Telephone Game43:01 When Culture Problems Become Personal45:48 Leadership Through Stewardship and Service51:49 Defining Success Beyond Career AchievementAbout Jim BrownJim Brown is a leadership advisor, author and the founder and founding partner of OrgHealth, where he helps CEOs, executive teams and boards build healthy, life-giving organizational cultures.

You know when you keep forgetting words, blanking on names, and walking into rooms with no idea why? If you are a woman in your 40s, 50s, or early 60s who has quietly googled “early signs of dementia” or “menopause brain fog,” this episode will encourage you.Because the truth is….you can run a boardroom and still lose the word in the middle of a sentence. On paper you present as “fine”, (ie your lab work) but deep down you know something is off. In episode 370 of the Treasured Wellness podcast, we walk through diligence, the 5th mark of a good health steward in the Health Stewardship series.We get into what is really behind midlife memory loss and brain fog.You will hear why just over 60% of women experience these cognitive changes during the menopause transition, why for most women it is not early dementia, and what the functional research says your brain actually needs beyond conventional advice of “don't smoke, avoid diabetes, and exercise.” We talk about estrogen and the midlife brain, blood sugar, deep sleep, cortisol and stress, and the root-cause habits that lift the fog. And we look at why the $22 billion menopause market is mostly a wall of products, while diligence means looking deeper.This is a faith-based, functional, root-cause approach to women's health in midlife. Grounded in Scripture and made for the exhausted, high-achieving Christian woman who is ready to steward her brain, body, and spirit with intention.If this episode has you realizing you've been drowning in women's wellness advice and you want a more personalized tool to help you understand what your own body is saying… you don't need another unhelpful health app.You need a place to start.The Treasured Wellness Journal is the whole health restoration tool to help you begin asking the question that changes everything: “Lord, how do I start to treasure my wellness?”Inside, you'll get the foundational, faith fueled tools to start understanding what your body is actually saying, and what to focus on first, while leaving room for your real life and true capacity.And if this episode put words to something you've felt for years, that your normal labs never told the whole story, that's exactly where we go deeper this month.Inside the Sanctuary, our members' home, I'm teaching what your labs are really saying, functional versus conventional, and the markers most doctors never check.

If you have recurring sinus infections, got the allergy shots, maybe even had sinus surgery, and still don’t feel better, this episode might shock you. For starters: 75-90% of people with self-diagnosed sinus headaches actually meet migraine criteria. I’m so excited to welcome back Dr. Jessica Lee, double board-certified ENT and lifestyle medicine physician to hopefully provide some answers you've been looking for. We’re going deep on sinus headache vs migraine, Eustachian tube dysfunction, as well as migraine and sinus management.  So many people are cycling through antibiotics, steroids, and booking surgeries without anyone ever connecting the dots to what's going on in the body as a whole. Dr. Lee is here to change that and to give you the questions to ask, the scans to request, and the framework to finally get some answers. In this episode, we'll dig into: How to start differentiating sinus issues from a migraine attack What’s actually happening with the pressure, fluid, and full feeling in your ear Why researchers believe TMJ may not be as common as we think How to best use CT scans as a diagnostic tool for sinus migraine What a deviated septum or mucosal cyst may not be the full diagnosis Why antibiotics are so overprescribed for sinus headaches Why you may feel like you never fully recover from sinus infections How GLP-1s and mouth breathing affects Eustachian tube function Why Dr. Lee’s surgical volume has gone down over the years The PACT framework for doctor’s appointments Whether it’s sinus headaches, ear pressure, or chronic infections that never fully resolve, the answer might not be another antibiotic. And with what you heard in the episode, you'll be able to ask the right questions to get the help you need.

We'd probably choose a celebration over sorrow every time. But Solomon says some of life's deepest wisdom comes from the places we'd rather avoid.

The moments we would never choose may become some of our greatest teachers.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

Like or didn't like what you heard? Share your sip with me! What if becoming a better leader isn't about adding another strategy, habit, or leadership tool, but about understanding yourself?On this episode, I'm joined by Michelle Scott, Executive & Intuitive Leadership Coach, for a conversation about the internal side of leadership we don't talk about enough.With more than 15 years of experience coaching C-suite executives, senior leaders, founders, and rising executives, Michelle helps high-achieving leaders move beyond the cycle of striving, stress, overthinking, and burnout to lead with greater clarity, presence, confidence, and ease.Together we explore why self-leadership matters, the blind spots that can hold even highly successful leaders back, how our internal state affects the way we show up for others, and why intuition deserves a seat alongside strategy and experience when making leadership decisions.Because sometimes the next level of leadership isn't about doing more—it's about becoming more aligned with who you already are.So grab your favorite sip and join us for a conversation about leading from the inside out. ☕️Connect with Michelle Scott:Website: Michelle Scott CoachingLinkedIn: Michelle Scott MA-CHH, D.S.S.Support the showFor more sips and tips, connect with me on social and follow @LeaderSips @Leadspirations and @LifeisGrit on Instagram, Threads, X, Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest.

Have you experienced the dark night of the soul? I know I have. It can happen to any spiritual seeker: the feeling of being disconnected from Source or God or your own soul, and questioning everything on your spiritual awakening journey.  It's a hard thing to go through, and it seems to be a rite of passage that all must face. In this episode of Soul Elevation with Kara Goodwin, we explore why faith gets tested, why connection fluctuates in our dynamic energetic environment, and how setbacks are often the doorway to deeper embodiment. If you've experienced a dry season, felt spiritually disconnected, or wondered if you've lost your path, know that you are not alone. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR: What the dark night of the soul really is and why it's (unfortunately) a normal part of the spiritual journey - Why feeling disconnected from Source doesn't mean you're doing it wrong - How setbacks, ego death, and shadow work initiate deeper spiritual growth - Grounded practices to keep moving forward when faith feels thin and energy feels flat Be sure to check out my most recent episode, featuring Rupert Isaacson. He shares openly about his near death experience and what he learned from it, as well as fascinating insights about shamanism, deep spiritual and energetic healing, the secret nature of reality, and so much more.

We're LIVE from the Farm Progress Show 2026 with Helena Agri-Enterprises! In this episode, we're joined by Jody Lawrence and Austin Anderson for a deep dive into one of the biggest conversations in agriculture right now: what the hell is driving these markets? With $13 soybeans and $5+ corn, we break down what's behind the recent run-up, whether today's markets are more volatile than they used to be, and what farmers should be watching as we look ahead toward 2027. Are these prices sustainable? What forces are moving the market? And what could change the picture going into next season? But good prices only matter if you've got bushels to sell. We also get into the agronomic side of the equation and talk about ways farmers can get more out of every acre. We dig into Grounded, a proprietary Helena adjuvant, why it could be a game changer for an operation, and how it can deliver value without breaking the bank. This was a great episode for us not only because of the conversation, but because we got to record it LIVE from Farm Progress Show and showcase our partnership with Helena Agri-Enterprises.

A comprehensive guide to ibogaine's healing power, cultural roots, and clinical potential“A compelling call for further research into the potential of ibogaine therapy.”—Kirkus Reviews• Explores how ibogaine works, including how it boosts cellular function,increases neuroplasticity, and interrupts habitual behavior patterns and trauma• Discusses the ritual roots of iboga in the Bwiti spiritual tradition of Gabon• Shares case studies showing ibogaine's healing effects for addiction recovery, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and Parkinson'sIbogaine is an alkaloid derived from the iboga plant, native to Central Africa. Its healing effects are revered within the Bwiti spiritual tradition of Gabon. International ibogaine expert Jonathan Dickinson explores how this psychedelic substance is now emerging as one of the most promising tools in neuro-regenerative medicine, addiction recovery, and treating trauma.Grounded in fieldwork and more than 15 years of clinical observation, Dickinson shows how ibogaine interacts with the body and mind, inducing a “bicameral state” of consciousness. This is a liminal mode of being in which ancient voices, archetypes, and internal guidance systems emerge, often catalyzing a profound reorganization of memory, identity, and behavior.He details how ibogaine boosts cellular function and shares impressive case studies to demonstrate how ibogaine has successfully treated PTSD, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's, neuropathic pain, and multiple sclerosis.As a clinician scientist, Dickinson has helped a multitude of veterans with their post-traumatic mental health struggles. As a Bwiti initiate, he is able to present in this book a unique understanding and new framework for engaging with this transformational psychedelic medicine.Jonathan Dickinson is the CEO and cofounder of Ambio Life Sciences, the world leader in integrative ibogaine treatments, and is also the founder of Terragnosis. He has more than 15 years of experience in clinical care, traditional practice, and psychedelic research. He was initiated into a Dissoumba/Fang branch of Bwiti in 2014 and the Missoko tradition in 2022. He lives in Toronto, Canada.https://ambio.life/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
