Podcasts about on wellness force radio

I'm so excited to celebrate 100 episodes (can you believe it?) of Quit Happens with you today, and to do so, I'm going to be sharing two interviews where I was the guest on other podcasts.  If you're a regular listener you're probably already familiar with Mike Bledsoe of The Bledsoe Show and Josh Trent of Wellness Force. I love these two humans so much and wanted to share these two amazing conversations for you to enjoy as well. A couple links I mention that are worth checking out: Jason Goldberg's Episode  And the even funnier YouTube video   Show Notes From My Episode On The Bledsoe Show Dr. Lynn Marie Morski is a physician, attorney, and life-long quitting enthusiast. She practices medicine at the Veterans Administration and shares her love of strategic quitting through speaking, coaching, and her podcast Quit Happens. Her goal is to pass on the strategic quitting skills she's developed to help people go from settling to succeeding. When she's not doctoring, lawyering, or evangelizing quitting, Dr. Morski is also a certified yoga instructor, trains the Brazilian martial art of capoeira, plays guitar and bass, and dances like everyone is watching. In this episode, we talk about strategic quitting, her various careers, her book Quitting By Design, and her upcoming podcast on plant medicine   Check out the full post here   Show Notes From My Episode On Wellness Force “You want to live your truth as much as you can. So many people think that “quitting” is this dirty word but to me, “settling,” is the dirty word.” – Dr. Lynn Marie Morski Deep down you know it's time for a change but how can you leave a job, relationship, or educational pursuits and feel secure, safe, and happy about your quit?  On Wellness Force Radio episode 247, Coach, Speaker, Author of Quitting by Design, and Host of the Quit Happens Podcast, Dr. Lynn Marie Morski, shares why quitting can be a beneficial form of self-care and discovering what works for each person, the number one reason why people don't embrace the quit, and how quitting vs. settling are two very different things Discover what a strategic quit is and how to use it to your advantage and for the benefit of your mind and body.  Thousands of self-help books have been written to tell people to live their best lives, without necessarily addressing the fact that making major life changes almost always requires quitting one thing and starting another. This pain point – the quitting itself – is often the barrier to change. Many avoid quitting because they fear the unknown. Will they find another career or relationship? Will their new path provide financial stability? Will friends and family question the decision to quit?  Will society see them as quitters? These questions generally go unaddressed. But that’s where Quitting by Design comes in – its sole focus is to help people through their quits successfully so they can proceed with their transformations. It’s a step-by-step guide that takes readers from deciding if there’s something they should quit all the way to preparing their health, finances, and relationships for a quiet, and it helps them conquer any fears that may pop up along the way. Dr. Lynn Marie Morski knows how to address fears and prepare your health, relationships, and finances for a quit because she's been there time and again. She has quit educational pursuits, jobs, careers, relationships, political parties…you name it; she's found a way to quit it while maximizing the benefits and minimizing the challenges associated with major life changes. And she wants nothing more than to pass these skills along to you.   With this book, Dr. Morski aims to pass on what she's learned about quitting not only from her own experiences but also through interviews with others who have made successful quits themselves. She tackles the stigma surrounding quitting while highlighting what a useful and necessary tool it can be in carving out a life you enjoy.

Why our fear of the unknown makes it so hard to quit when it comes to moving on with our health, wealth, and relationships.

How to test out your quit in your mind to see how it feels long before you actually take action. Why she's against the idea that everything happens for a reason but doesn't have any regrets because they've all led her to this very moment in her life.

How to get out of the mindset that “quitters” never win and you have to fake it to make it. Why sharing your quits with other people can help other people with their own strategic quits.

Her 3 physical practices that can help you get clear about whether or else you need a strategic quit. Power Quotes From The Show “If you're quitting something that may seem like a dream job to others or feel this societal pressure to not quit, you have to stop and realize that the people who are going to judge you aren't you. They're not in your shoes, they're not in your head, and they're not living your life. You're the one who has to live your life; why should you let what somebody else's thoughts of you shape your existence?” – Lynn Marie Morski “Does your boss want an employee who's constantly looking for a way out? No. Do other people a favor by quitting. Quitting is actually a generous act at some point because they should want somebody in that position who wants to be in that position. If you're forcing yourself to be in this job, you're actually doing them a disservice and there's an opportunity cost for both you and them.” – Lynn Marie Morski “As a society, we're avoiding putting ourselves out there. We need to quit this facade, quit the mask, and quit this external game. Social media has made it so much worse and is doing the opposite of what it should be doing.” – Lynn Marie Morski Links From Today's Show Check out the full post here Dr. Lynn Marie Morski Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Quitting by Design by Dr. Lynn Marie Morski Quit Happens Podcast So Full of Quit!

The biggest thing that all entrepreneurs should be doing is to be really in tune with our bodies and the signs that something is wrong. It just kills the momentum in business when we stop taking care of ourselves. So, paying attention to the signs and being consistent with your routines such as fitness, diet, breathwork, or plant medicine can help keep you on track and be present. - Aaron Hinde How can living a healthier, more mindful life impact your family, tribe, and career?   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 303 On Wellness Force Radio episode 303, Co-Founder and President of LIFEAID Beverage Company, Aaron Hinde, joins us for a second interview to take a deep dive into how you can cultivate mental resilience and fortitude, how to expand your consciousness through new ways of being, and how to be a good role model for your children by adopting healthier habits for life.   Listen and learn more about Aaron's mission to help people live life well and drink less sugar-loaded, highly caffeinated beverages by providing them with healthier ones that also taste better.     [1:30] Cultivating Patience & Perseverance Organifi LifeAID 242 Mastering The Mind For Business & Life: Aaron Hinde 269 Live From Rythmia: Gerry Powell & Jay Brown Where in your life can you begin to cultivate more patience?

The Launch of LifeAID They were equally convinced that consumers were looking for more functionality than the caffeine found in energy drinks or isotonic sports drinks.  After months of brainstorming and collaboration, they created their vision for LIFEAID and funded it with a mere $30,000 apiece.

How professionals can come together and respect one another despite opposing viewpoints.   Josh Trent and Dr. Michael Ruscio at Paleo f(x) 2019   Power Quotes From The Show   "I don't think there are certain foods that would just cause thyroid dysfunction compared to inflaming your gut and just making you generally unwell. However, there have been some completed studies that show simply going on a Paleo diet can improve thyroid function and immunity." - Dr. Michael Ruscio   "The primary cause of hyperthyroidism is autoimmunity. So, if the primary regulator of your immune system, your small intestine, and the primary cause of hyperthyroidism is autoimmunity and immune imbalance, there's your connection. If you eat foods that irritate your small intestine, that will likely rev up your immune system and will make the autoimmune symptoms worse or conversely, if you're eating foods that are healthy for your gut, you can see a decrease." - Dr. Michael Ruscio   "If you're on a medication and you suspect that you were not correctly diagnosed; especially if you saw an integrative, progressive, or alternative provider, most models of misdiagnoses are from these providers. These providers are not doing it with any bad intention but you should always check your lab work from before you went on thyroid hormone medication and if the lab range didn't flag you high TSH and low T4, then there's a very high probability that you don't need the medication that you're on. Now, don't do anything else before the first meeting with a clinician who can walk you through this and a conventional endocrinologist will probably do a very good job with helping you discover what support is best for you." - Dr. Michael Ruscio     Links From Today's Show Paleo f(x) The Future of Functional Medicine Review Clinical Newsletter UBiome suspends founders, sales of microbiome tests in wake of FBI raid Dr. Ruscio's Gut Quiz Thyroid Autoimmunity – What Are Healthy Levels for Thyroid Antibodies Tailor Made Compounding WF Player One | Pro Hats WFR 250 Dave Asprey WFR 206 Dan Pardi Dr. Ruscio's Great-In-8 Action Plan Healthy Gut, Healthy You by Dr. Michael Ruscio WFR 119 Dr. Michael Ruscio – The Orthorexia Connection WFR 223 Dr. Michael Ruscio – Healthy Gut, Healthy You WFR 236 Dr. Michael Ruscio - Healing The Second Brain Dr. Ruscio Radio Podcast Mapping Your Microbiota – Health Miracle or Hyperbole, with Professor Rob Knight Peptides – Medical Breakthrough for Anti-aging and Immune Health with Dr. Kevin Wallace When Your Brain is Stuck in Fight or Flight Mode - Annie Hopper Retrain Your Brain, Fix Your Gut - Ashok Gupta Dr. Michael Ruscio Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Google+ Pinterest   About Dr. Michael Ruscio   Dr. Ruscio’s best-selling book, Healthy Gut, Healthy You, has paved the way for a ‘start with the gut’ philosophy which has enabled doctors and patient to obtain improved outcomes with minimal expense and effort.

Our ego and inner coach are not the same. Our ego is always looking for control and a result but our inner coach is not. Our inner coach keeps us present by looking for being with what is, accepting what is, and finding out what we can learn from it." - Christine Hassler   ---> Join the Wellness Warrior VIP Club: get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.** ---> Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well.

On Wellness Force Radio episode 277, Master Coach for Primal Health Coach Institute, Author of Expectation Hangover, and Host of the Over It & On With It Podcast, Christine Hassler, returns to discuss how the inner coach differs from the ego, the power of surrender, and why tools like diets, applications, or products are keeping you from dealing with the real issues at hand. Tune in as Christine shares the biggest life lessons she has learned so far including why you shouldn't be afraid to reach out for help, you don't have to keep struggling to learn, and you're never done doing the inner work.   Expectation Hangover Get your copy of Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler here When our expectations are met and things go according to plan, we feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. Risking little, we feel safe, in control, and on-track. But when life throws us a curveball or does not live up to our expectations, we end up with an Expectation Hangover. This particular brand of discomfort is profoundly sobering and uncomfortable. Christine Hassler urges us to not wallow in regret, self-recrimination, or anger, and instead see these hangovers as a catalyst for profound transformation. Often life has to throw us a curveball (or several) so that we look in a different direction. When we fully treat our Expectation Hangover on the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual level, we learn courage, faith, surrender, and love, and we make room for the kind of unexpected things that lead us more directly to a life we love—rather than a life we planned.   Listen To Episode 277 As Christine Hassler Uncovers: Her experience as the Master Coach for Primal Health Coach Institute and how she's helping other health coaches dive deep into their own personal life, relationships, and mission. The pros and cons of biohacking for better wellness. Her own wellness journey and the negative effects of Prozac on her physical, mental, and emotional health. The importance of focusing on both the emotional as well as physical sides of health when healing from depression. How humanity has evolved to a place where we can now dig deeper into consciousness and emotional intelligence. The expectation hangovers we all experience and her own experiences including having the fear of losing someone. The negative impact of being in a relationship in which you feel the need to rely on another person so intensely. The importance of looking back at ourselves and relying on ourselves to fulfill a need when we expect something from another person. How the inner coach helps us to accept what is, be present, and not look for a result vs. our ego trying to be in control of everything, keep us in our comfort zone, and find a result. The benefits of dating yourself and explore what you truly want in a relationship. Why there is power in surrendering, accepting, and going with the flow instead of relying on planning, knowing, and certainty. What tools she uses to make sure she's checking in with her emotions enough and she helps people with their own. Different body cues the body will give us when we need to pay attention to something within ourselves. What vulnerability really even means and why it's been so difficult in the past for men to express it up until now. How her truth has shifted from focusing on her inner work to understanding why we're all here in our human bodies.   Power Quotes From The Show "Whenever I'm looking for control or certainty, I know that's not really my inner coach and it's more of my ego trying to keep me in my comfort zone. Whenever I'm not really looking for a result but I'm willing to be present, accept what is, and work with it, that's my inner coach. So, the ego is always looking for a result but the inner coach is not. The inner coach is looking for being with what is, accepting what is, and finding out what you can learn from it." - Christine Hassler "If I hadn't dealt with the emotional at the same time as the physical, I think I'd still be struggling with so many things in my life like depression. Yes, getting off gluten was important and going on a Paleo diet definitely helped but I don't think that would've done it completely for me nor other people. Why at 11 years old was I keeping my feelings inside? Why was I depressed? You can change your diet, do light therapy, or take supplements but it's not going to take away the emotional pain. A physical change will help you feel a little better but if you really want to be optimized as a human being, you have to hit all of the levels." - Christine Hassler "In relationships, people can meet each others' needs but it's not everything. If we're outsourcing our needs or our happiness to anything outside of us, then we really don't have that access point to our full potential. We really have to be there for ourselves and make sure that our own needs are met as well." - Christine Hassler   Links From Today's Show Sunlighten Saunas Slenderella Paleo f(x) AMP #176 - The Wild Woman and The Wild Man with Christine Hassler | Aubrey Marcus Podcast Primal Health Coach Institute Slenderella Shawn Stevenson David Deida WFR 260 Stefanos Sifandos WFR 250 Dave Asprey WFR 206 Dan Pardi WFR 201 Micheal Gervais WFR 258 Boysen Hodgson WFR 132 Christine Hassler The Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler Over It & On With It Podcast Christine Hassler Facebook Twitter Instagram Youtube   About Christine Hassler Christine Hassler is a former Hollywood agent and achievement addict turned best-selling author, speaker, and consultant known for helping companies and brands understand and connect with Gen Y.

Discovering Our Human Nature: Erick Godsey How can journaling, meditation, and breathwork help you discover the unconscious characters that lie within? On Wellness Force Radio episode 276, Onnit Content Manager and Podcast Host of The Myths That Make Us, Erick Godsey, shares how he keeps in check with his ego, social media's impact on the conscious mind, as well as his personal insight and thoughts on monogamous vs. polygamous relationships. Discover why life transformations within yourself and others can only happen when you truly come from a place of radical authenticity. The Myths That Make Us Podcast Click here to listen to The Myths That Make Us Podcast I believe we each have an unconscious story about who we are and what kind of world we're in. This story, our myth, influences our goals, desires, mindset, and happiness. On this podcast, I'm going to help people identify the myths that make them. "When you are honest and vulnerable with people, it'll work out beautifully." - Erick Godsey Listen To Episode 276 As Erick Godsey Uncovers: How the Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology, Carl Jung, impacted his life and spirituality. Social media's impact on society including our understanding the self and becoming aware of our consciousness. His favorite tools for handling moments of stress including journaling. Why meditation and being still are challenging for people in Western cultures but journaling can help them get there. Why life transformations can only truly happen when we're radically honest with ourselves. The lack of a fatherly presence he felt in his life and how he tried to find a spiritual father in books, psychedelics, and philosophy. How psychedelics negatively impacted his mind because he wasn't truly ready for them and how journaling helped him put his mind back together. The idea that we choose our parents, life, and programming when we come to this life. How being unconsciously invited to act as his mother's psychologist impacted his mind, their relationship, what he's doing for humanity today, and why he's grateful for that. The fact that we're all just doing the best we can and no one has it all together even if it appears that way on social media. His relationship with his ego and how he keeps it in check by being present with it. The experiences and unique challenges he's facing in a new romantic relationship and what he wants from himself in it. His current stance on masculine, feminine, intimacy, and relationships. Monogamy vs polygamy relationships and why people choose to be in one type over the other. How we can create from a place of truth and love to not fall to the demise of ego, popularity, and social misappropriation. What he does to help him stay radically authentic to himself and for his social media audience. How he metaphorically related his unconscious character, dreams, and past relationships with women to the story of Samson and Delilah. Why he's radically honest with women about himself, his past wounds, and his wants in a relationship on the first date. Power Quotes From The Show "What tools can we use to uncover the unconscious characters inside of us that have been whispering behind the thrones of consciousness that gets us into these patterns in our lives and how can we re-program that?" - Erick Godsey "One set of people will find the divine through deep work and another set will find it through relationships. People who find the divine in the deep work seem to be able to go deep in a monogamous relationship and it makes them feel safe. In comparison, the people who find the divine in relationships might find polygamous connections a truly an interesting way to live in those bliss moments." - Erick Godsey "I know I'm going to die and I know that everything I do will eventually be forgotten at some point in time so what should I do? It's better to redirect your program towards the highest value than to try to invest all of your energy to uninstall all of the programmings you've already received. All of us can take the set programming from the first seven years of our lives and redirect it towards the highest possible good that the programming could be. We chose our parents and we chose this programming so it's much more effective to redirect it as opposed to try spending 40 years completely undoing it." - Erick Godsey "At least once a week during a work day I have to stop what I'm doing, leave my desk, grab my journal, and ask myself, "Why am I alive? What am I doing?" It might appear that I have everything in life together but there are times when I become so overwhelmed and I have to stop and reconnect to why I believe I'm alive." - Erick Godsey Links From Today's Show Sunlighten Saunas Paleo f(x) Onnit Dr. Rhonda Patrick Joe Rogan #66 Josh Trent | Human Optimization Hour w/ Kyle Kingsbury Carl Jung Why I Write The Morning Pages The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron Duncan Trussell Friedrich Nietzsche Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs King, Warrior, Magician, Lover by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette Enlifted Tim Ferriss WFR 196 Aubrey Marcus WFR 132 Christine Hassler WFR 191 Mary Shores The Myths That Make Us Podcast Erick Godsey Instagram Twitter YouTube    Join The #WellnessWarrior VIP Club **Click on the photo above to get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.**   More Top Episodes 226 Paul Chek: The Revolution Is Coming (3 Part Series) 131 Drew Manning: Emotional Fitness 129 Gretchen Rubin: The Four Tendencies  183 Dr. Kyra Bobinet: Brain Science 196 Aubrey Marcus: Own The Day 103 Robb Wolf: Wired To Eat Best of The Best: The Top 10 Guests From over 200 Shows Get More Wellness In Your Life Join the #WellnessWarrior Community on Facebook Tweet us on Twitter: Send us a tweet Comment on the Facebook page

Conflict is an important part of human relationship. If you don't have conflict, can you ever really get to know somebody?

The place of emergence of life itself can't know itself unless it explores all of its own potentials." - Pau Chek Listen To Episode 275 As Paul Chek Uncovers: Why conflict is such an important part of human relationships to get to know people, start important conversations, and for spiritual growth to happen. Why a spiritual growth process helps lead us to death of the ego and expansion of self. His plant medicine ceremony experiences including envisioning a story of the past life of his son. The midlife crisis he faced and how plant medicine allowed him to heal the pain. How plant medicine, symbols, and strong sensations played a role in him and Angie taking the step forward together to becoming parents to their son, Mana. The various teachings he has gathered from various spiritual practices including spirit medicine, meditation, monks, martial arts and Christianity. His ability to be clairvoyant and a remote viewer with the ability to take his consciousness out of the body and go anywhere in the known world. His experience with psychedelics and how they can be beneficial for those who truly need them and are ready for them. The importance of properly diagnosing people for the right amount of psychedelics. The system he developed to properly prepare, process, and post-integrate people with plant medicine. The dangers of poorly run plant medicine ceremonies and why plant medicine is not for everyone. The strong truths that people may come to face in a plant medicine ceremony and why they might not be able to distinguish them between thoughts and reality if they're ill-prepared. The differences between the group soul, biological soul, intellectual soul, and awareness soul. The impact that the myth of consumerism has caused on our culture, relationships, and how we connect with one another. How repressing the human mind and our creative ability has led to trauma for years. What consciousness truly is in our world compared to how we used to see it. Why plant medicine ceremonies don't only explore personal traumas, challenges, joys, and highs but also the collective unconscious of everything that has ever been on this planet. The fact that the plant medicines do not give you the visions you see but they amplify what's already inside of you. The 4 Doctors you'll only ever need: Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet, Dr. Happiness and Dr. Movement. The dangers of doing too many plant medicine ceremonies to that point that you don't know what's real anymore. Power Quotes From The Show 'Plant medicines don't fix you; they illuminate where the healing is and show you what the possibilities are." - Paul Chek "Anytime you engage in a spiritual growth process, it's death to the ego because the more you grow spiritually, the more porous the ego becomes to your wants, feelings, and needs of other people and then your concept of self greatly expands. However, the ego will still inherently try to control and create the illusion of safety and convince itself that it knows what the outcome is going to be for us. That's when the process of spiritual growth and development will help us relax inner conflict and our need to control what happens in life." - Paul Chek    "You have to have spiritual courage to really grow spiritually because if you really want to take guidance from your soul, you have to be ready to realize that many of the things you're asking guidance on, your ego already has some kind of an addiction and your soul might trick you because you find your soul has a much broader sense of right and wrong than your ego could ever conceive of." - Paul Chek  "Until a person actually knows how to access their soul, they can't tell the difference between their soul and their mind. The soul is not as simple as people think it is. The soul has many levels and the mind is actually inherently part of it." - Paul Chek "A medicine plant is a seed but you have to fertilize, water, trim, and protect it every day to have an actual spiritual experience. Plant medicines don't fix you; they illuminate where the healing is and show you what the possibilities are but you have to become that person every single day to the degree that you have the spiritual strength or courage to depart from the old you to become the new you." - Paul Chek   Links From Today's Show Paleo f(x) The C.H.E.K.

Listen and discover how Mike is helping athletes, coaches, and everyday women and men develop a holistic mindset for life both in and out of athletic competitions. Mastering The Kettlebell Click here to learn more about Mike Salemi's Mastering The Kettlebell Program While this program is incredible in its depth, it only involves (and takes) one kettlebell to perform and covers the foundational lifts. I truly believe that with mastery of what I teach in the program, you will be set up to take kettlebells as far as you’d like to go- advanced movements, double kettlebell lifts, kettlebell “flows”, even entering a competition. Above all, gain rare insight into my overall thought process. This way you can assess different training scenarios and use critical thinking skills to come up with an optimal solution. To do this it truly does take a comprehensive system - and system being a keyword. It took me 12 months of work to outline organize and complete this training. My life’s work - all the struggles and successes- are reflected in it. So you and your clients can be set up for success.   "All great things are not achieved by just one person. There's always a community of people who have to come together to make the impossible happen." - Mike Salemi Listen To Episode 274 As Mike Salemi Uncovers: How he was able to help his build his family's business back up after the 2008 recession and the emotional roller coaster that experience brought him. His personal experience working a job that he did not love and how that impacted his wellbeing. What brought him to the Holistic Lifestyle Coach Program at the C.H.E.K. Institute. Why he felt called towards weight lifting and what it has taught him about emotional intelligence. What doing the inner work taught him about the similarities he shares with his father and the qualities he received from observing him. Why our greatest gifts can sometimes be our greatest weaknesses. The reason why he's taking time from competing to be present and focus more on being playful. How he gets adults excited about play through his fitness programs. The importance of having a fundamental skill in using equipment such as kettlebells before moving forward with training. His favorite way of working in a physical movement for strength training. His mission to work with fellow coaches that have a holistic mindset to truly inspire them and their athletes to focus on having a healthy living philosophy. How to begin a wellness journey with injury prevention as your top priority. The spiritual practice of embracing, feeling, and blocking out the pain he felt from a toe injury to be fully present in teaching. What it was like to work one and one with Paul Chek for both the physical and spiritual work. Why it took him two years until Paul Chek thought Mike was truly ready for his first plant medicine experience and what lessons he took away from it. His interest in becoming a Kambo medicine Practitioner someday in the future. What an ELDOA stretch is and the many benefits of adding it to your wellness routine. The lessons plant medicine is teaching him including being more aware of patterns and cycles of the males in his family. Whether or not we should have more plant medicine facilities throughout the world.  How to decide whether or not a piece of technology will actually help you accomplish your health goals or not.  Power Quotes From The Show "If the physical goal rises in a holistic system, so does the emotional and the spiritual. All of these goals have to rise in order to accomplish them in an integrated matter. The more I test myself or put myself in an uncomfortable situation, the more I'm going to be a better coach, friend, and able to have empathy for my clients." - Mike Salemi "Sometimes our greatest gifts are our weaknesses. Having discipline and being hard on ourselves can lead us to achievement but on the other hand, we should be a little bit more gentle with ourselves." - Mike Salemi "I'm truly here to share, support, and inspire both athletes and coaches to not only realize their truest potential in sport but also when they leave their sport so that they have some type of healthy living philosophy moving forward."  - Mike Salemi   Links From Today's Show The C.H.E.K.

For greater wellness, we need to create a primal fusion of diet, exercise, rest, and happiness. Without even one, none of them will work. All of your primal needs have to fuse perfectly and be in balance. - Sara Gustafson How can we break through modern world influences that numb, distract, and cloud our thinking to be with our most authentic, primal self? On Wellness Force Radio episode 268, Champion of Radical Self-Care, Female Empowerment Founder of “Women Who Raise Hell”, and Director of Women's Health Ambassador of Authenticity at Primal Fusion, Sara Gustafson, discusses how you create more primal fusion in your life, the power of healing through neurosomatic therapy, and how you can harness the power within to make anything you want come true.   ---> Join the Wellness Warrior VIP Club: get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.** ---> Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well.

They don't prioritize, understand, or believe the value of happiness. It's impossible to have a balanced primal fusion if you're not happy." - Sara Gustafson Listen To Episode 268 As Sara Gustafson Uncovers: Why the rapid growth of violence has been so hard on men and their masculine identity. Why conflict is healthy in a relationship, love is hard, and relationships take work. Why people hide behind their ego through spiritual materialism by going to church or yoga class and owning items like crystals. Why activism is still a form of violence because it's segregating and dividing. The health issues she faced as a child with a poor immune system and how taking antibiotics and the steroid, prednisone, had a further negative effect on her wellness. The social pressures she faced as a teenager to be perfect while battling constant illness. How her own experiences with bullying and sexual assault as a teenager led her to help other girls her age in an organization she began with local schools counselors called Teens Against Dating Violence. How being a victim led her to make herself more masculine through bodybuilding, being tougher, and emasculating men which then led to a lot of hurt in her relationships with them. The difficult divorce she experienced and how that led her feeling like a victim once again. The visceral coding that the mind goes through when we've experienced trauma. Why women shouldn't be raising hell through protest but raising hell within themselves to let go of all the pain that's inside. Why she believes that women truly don't know what they want because they've experienced so many years of not really being listened to by men. Her exploration of past lives and how ancestral karma is impacting her life and the lessons she's learning now. How her and Aleks balance being business partners at Primal Fusion, working together, raising children, and being in a relationship. Why tracking all of your data and being obsessed with what you eat is why you're not seeing the results you want. Steps you can take to be brutally honest with yourself about what's happening in your relationship before communicating about it with your partner. Why women have such a hard time accepting that they're holding onto their anger for so long because of victim empowerment. The importance of knowing how to breathe properly deep in the belly before attending a breathwork workshop. How being authentic about honest about her personal life helps her keep in check. [spacer height="20px" id="2"] Power Quotes From The Show "The Hero's Journey isn't about sacrifice, it's about uncovering your truth. You have to decondition your truth, break it open, and put yourself back together again." - Sara Gustafson "Embodying, exploring, and sitting with our feelings without any distractions is the hardest part of inner work because it is not comfortable. We're talking no drugs, alcohol, or excessive activities. If anything is going to make you grow, it's that because of how our modern culture has been built. Everything you can think of that will numb the cry of our bodies exists in substances like pills, environments like bars, or distractions like spending long amounts of time doing an activity from working out to shopping to learning." - Sara Gustafson "For greater wellness, you have to focus on fusing all of your primal needs together. Without even one, none of them will work. If you don't have your diet in place, exercise will fall apart. If you don't rest or recover, nothing else will be in place. If you're not happy, then forget being able to do anything else. If you're not focusing on yourself and taking responsibility for that, then why invest in anything else? All of your primal needs need to fuse perfectly and be in balance." - Sara Gustafson "Happiness is what's missing from most people's primal fusion. They don't prioritize, understand, or believe the value of happiness. When we try to program happiness into a client's life, it can take them up to a year sometimes to begin to start practicing it because they don't understand its value. It's impossible to have good health if you're not happy." - Sara Gustafson "You are in control of your life and every decision you make. You have the power and you can create anything that you want to happen. Some people are so afraid of that power that they don't want it because they're afraid that once they recognize and embody that power, then they're responsible for it. Once they're responsible for that power, they're then afraid to fail." - Sara Gustafson Links From Today's Show Sara Gustafson Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Primal Fusion Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Primal Fusion Team Primal Fusion Holistic Health, Performance & Transformational Life Coaching Women Who Raise Hell Facebook Group Neurosomatic Therapy Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercises and Your Vagus Nerve Breathology: Master Your Nervous System Breathwork I Tried This Trippy Healing Modality For Mental Clarity—And Still Can't Believe How It Made Me Feel Eckhart Tolle JP Sears WFR 226 Paul Chek WFR 258 Boysen Hodgson About Sara Gustafson Visionary thought leader, authenticity expert, and truth-seeking provocateur Sara Gustafson sparks healing + transformation through her powerful life coaching and holistic wellness programs.

The 5x2 Method Click here to get your copy of The 5x2 Method Did you know you use at least one of your five senses every moment of the day, even when you are asleep? Each sense has its own special power, but it is when they are used in combination that we create those unforgettable experiences. We all have a set of daily habits that tend to dull our senses and encourage us to lead a pretty basic life of existence. We often find ourselves in the vicious cycle of wake up, repeat and go to sleep. Chirs DiVecchio developed the 5x2 method to help wake those senses back up and create a whole new way of thinking, acting, being and doing so that you can start living the life of happiness you deserve! As we know, the five senses are controlled by five organs: Touch - Touch has a memory Sound - Music to your ears Taste - Taste the rainbow Sight - The windows to the soul Smell - Stop and smell the roses In this book, Chris breaks each sense down in detail to help you understand a bit more how they can be used to shift you into a more positive state of being.   "Having control over how I look, feel, and take care of myself mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually costs me nothing. I don't have to pay a cent to register, process, and choose my thoughts and feelings." - Chris DiVecchio  Listen To Episode 266 As Chris DiVecchio Uncovers: What his upbringing was like with such loving parents that he sought out "tough" guidance from his friends' parents. The varying degrees of trauma that people might experience from neglect to no support from their family. Why there's nothing better to him than to make a living to make a difference. How he was able to find general peace and happiness throughout each day with the 5x2 Method even though he wasn't making a lot of money as an actor. Which of the 5x2 Methods help people the most go from doing nothing to creating something. The healing process that the current fitness industry is going through to focus more on wellness. Why he gives his clients a Giving Key necklace as part of working with him on their wellness journey. The deep questions he asks clients to really know who he's working with at their core. The common fear of taking a photo at the start of a weight loss transition and why we shouldn't feel that way. Why we naturally want to deal with what we need to focus on when the stakes are higher. Why losing weight will never be the end of our wellness journey. How to approach working with a new client when they're currently a client of another personal trainer you know. Why you have to be a greater listener to be a great trainer. What lessons we can learn when we pay more attention to something and see all of its benefits and worth. His unique connection to animals throughout his life and how they inspired the 5x2 Method. The biggest lesson that he's learning and teaching at the same time. How he implements his spiritual side to his training and helps his clients do the same. Why he doesn't believe in "good vibes only" with his optimistic outlook and will do the inner work with his deeper emotions. Why being given too much love as a kid was a problem for him as he grew up into adulthood and explored different relationships. About his other program, The E7 (Emergency 7), which is a 7-day protocol to help people naturally drop weight by their target date for a specific event such as a wedding. Power Quotes From The Show "If you feel good emotionally, then 9 times out of 10, your body is going to match that." - Chris DiVecchio "The growing fitness trend of using performance-enhancing supplements has its place but the healing process is really what people are focusing on now. Our main concern today is caring about how we feel rather than how we look. That's where the world of fitness and wellness is going. We're now realizing that if you feel good, then 9/10 times your body is going to match that vibration." - Chris DiVecchio "I had to put in an insane amount of trust that I was doing the right thing and I was in the right space. For me to freak out, panic, or to buy into any type of negative thought pattern I have right now, it's just not going to serve me. If I have control over how I look, feel, and take care of myself mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, then I have to do that at least. That costs me nothing; I don't have to pay a cent to register, process, and choose my thoughts and feelings." - Chris DiVecchio "Taking inventory is important in order to look back and reflect on your lifestyle situations, habits, or traumas. Being able to learn from past experiences and dissect some of the emotional turmoil that you've been through without allowing yourself to get stuck in it is a skill. A lot of people don't get as deep in their past to clear house is because they're afraid of what they might see along that journey." - Chris DiVecchio "Forget about discipline; discipline doesn't mean anything. What we actually need to do right now is care. The people who are at the top of their game in optimal health and wellness are those who care enough about themselves and care enough about their bodies to focus on what contributes to a healthy looking vessel." - Chris DiVecchio   Links From Today's Show Chris DiVecchio Facebook Instagram Twitter Premier Mind & Body Facebook Twitter The 5x2 Method Emergency7 Man loses 70 pounds after his poker buddies bet him $1M that he couldn't TED Talk with Joshua Klein: A thought experiment on the intelligence of crows In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts with Dr. Gabor Mate The 5 Love Languages The Giving Keys Shawn Stevenson WFR 058 Rob Dionne WFR 242 Aaron Hinde About Chris DiVecchio Chris DiVecchio, Founder & Trainer, brings a wealth of self-development transformation mixed with a very practical technique to his fitness training.

When we realize that we are not our thoughts or actions, we can begin to become less attached to what we were and create a new version of ourselves. - Stefanos Sifandos Do you wake up in the morning being pulled by life or do you have to push and trudge every day? Are you living a life of truth? If not, then let's explore it together. ---> Join the Wellness Warrior VIP Club: get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.** ---> Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THIS PODCAST   On Wellness Force Radio episode 260, Relational Alchemist, International Speaker and Author, Stefanos Sifandos, shares why we have so much more to do as a society as far as evolutionary wholeness, what men's work means to him and how it can help a man who is struggling with himself, and the evolution of masculinity and femininity in this modern world. Listen and discover how shifting his mindset through breath, sound and movement transformed how Stefanos sees himself, others, and how others see him. Reclaim Your Kingdom Embark On A 3-Month Immersive Journey For Men Only Join Stefanos for The Most Comprehensive Men's Transformation Program Join Stefanos and a tribe of inspired men on a 3-month journey as we explore our depths, inner strength and evolve our consciousness . . . all by following ancient wisdom blended with cutting-edge modern practices. We come together as a tribe of empowered men willing to transform for the better. To expand our consciousness, access to inner resources and connect, bond and unite as strong & empowered men to open our minds and hearts to the world that has been bestowed upon our feet. You will be guided, facilitated, directed and asked to contribute meaningfully your life experience. You will not be judged, you will grow, you will be challenged and you will experience being a man through a new lens – a supportive, empowered and life-changing lens. You will learn the difference between being a good man and being good at being a man! Reclaim your kingdom – a warrior’s code is predicated on the uniquely put together 12 principles, which form the conscious warrior model. This ethos is about reframing the manner in which men behave, become and move through the world. The manner in which we ‘see’ ourselves and the manner in which we learn to forgive, create, release and evolve. This program is a pragmatic and practical way to evolve our ways leveraging ancient wisdom and modern techniques (such as neuroscience, modern psychology, eastern mysticism and evolutionary psychology to mention a few) to allow us to be more connected, intelligent, adaptive, strong, inclusive and lovingly open men – to ultimately revere women and children and to learn to step humbly into our authentic power and of course revere ourselves. Listen To Episode 260 As Stefanos Sifandos Uncovers: What evolutionary wholeness is and why it's his mission to teach more people about it. What compensatory strategies are that we cultivate during our youth and bring into our adult lives and relationships. The importance of taking regular inventory of our experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Why stress is the high-achiever's word for fear and how to cope with that emotion. Why hypocrisy is such a natural part of life and it's necessary for growth to happen. Various tools from journaling and group work to shamanic healing and counseling to help you unpack your thoughts and emotions. The emotional roller coaster he went through as an adolescent and the aggressive behavior he learned from his father. How he began his own deep dive into a wellness journey to free himself of his negative habits, invest in himself, and heal from past trauma. How suicidal thoughts are a by-product of not living in our truth and being in a haze of pain when we think there's no alternative. The plunge he took to really feel his emotions and move beyond his pain by giving himself permission to fully feel and live by intention. The meaning behind the powerful question we can ask ourselves during tense moments, "What would love do now?" Changing the brain physiology via neural empowerment and mapping through breathwork, journaling, and counseling. How to change your attitude, behavior, and focus in 3-seconds. How breathwork literally saved his life and the various techniques he practices for trauma. How the experiences we have from ages 0-7 impact and affect our adult relationships. Various types of relationships from polyamory to monogamy and which one he resonates with the most. Why people consciousnessly put themselves through pain instead of allowing nature to take the lead. Some qualities men can learn to master in order to go from being good to great. The natural segregation that happens in society and how it's come to an extreme point in our modern world. Power Quotes From The Show "Stress' is the high-achiever's word for 'fear.'" - Stefanos Sifandos  "Compensatory strategies are developed and cultivated when we're very young and we bring them into our adult lives and relationships. However, they don't really have a place. We don't need to behave in that extreme yet we do anyway because we're coming from a set of unconscious feelings or fears. So, when we begin to do a self-inventory, it's normal that we don't really know where to look, it's really difficult to do on our own, and we feel stuck in our trauma." - Stefanos Sifandos "Instead of justifying our trauma, pain, and fear as being normal parts of our lives, we need an inventory. Something that we could be taught as young people is to take regular inventory of our lives. Whether or not you think something is "wrong" with you, at the end of every day, take inventory of your life. How did you behave and think? Were you happy with your thoughts and interactions? How did you relate to others? How did you give and receive love? Did you experience pain, fear, or discomfort? What was the cause of discomfort? Have you noticed those patterns of discomfort before? We're not taught to be self-reflective or self-critical in our culture often enough." - Stefanos Sifandos "I don't like to say, 'I'm stressed,' because it makes me feel weak. I'd rather say, 'I'm scared' of something. I don't have a healthy fear with stress and underpinning that is a fear as well. To me, saying, 'I'm stressed,' is like saying, 'I'm not good enough to cope with what I'm producing, doing, or facing,' and I don't like that." - Stefanos Sifandos "What does it mean to have a yearning to actually grow and be better than you were yesterday? I don't know what it means for you; that's something you have to answer on your own. When we start paying attention to ourselves through conscious awareness, we get to learn more about ourselves but we also have to be okay with being uncomfortable. If we unpack something that's painful, there are several tools available to us that we can use: journaling, support groups, psychologists, spiritual work, or anything that resonates with you that can help. That will help you cultivate resilience in the body and in the mind." - Stefanos Sifandos "The desire to be self-reflective requires work and effort. Today, in contemporary times without the application of effort, we're losing the essence of who we are as men. As we've evolutionarily grown, we have become accustomed to being in involatile environments. Our bodies are made to work and the more physical work the body does, the healthier the body is."  - Stefanos Sifandos "Too many men live in lies and we come across either shady, confused, manipulative, or untrustworthy. Why do we do that? It's because we're valuing values like status, accumulation of material goods, or how others see us over being just genuine and living in our truth. We don't even realize we're doing it and if you want to be attractive to a woman, you have to be the truth." - Stefanos Sifandos    Links From Today's Show Stefanos Sifandos Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Pinterest Reclaim Your Kingdom Conscious Mentorship Program Alchemy Academy SoulPlay Retreats Dr. John Demartini Dr. Joe Dispenza Jordan Peterson David Deida Byron Katie Dr. Peter Levine The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk Dr. Harville Hendrix Keeping the Love You Find by Dr. Harville Hendrix Tony Robbins WFR 086 Mark Divine WFR 132 Christine Hassler WFR 129 Gretchen Rubin WFR 196 Aubrey Marcus WFR 217 Steph Gaudreau WFR 245 Peter Sage WFR 258 Boysen Hodgson About Stefanos Sifandos Stefanos is a Relational Alchemist, International Speaker and Author who facilitates transformational growth through neuro-empowerment practices, an integration of spiritual praxis and western psychology to improve, evolve and enhance the quality of your relationships.

Learn how he's helping design a new blueprint for psychiatric healing to help decrease addiction, depression, trauma, and PTSD.  "Coming to truth is not a comfortable path. We don't do this work because it's easy; we do this because it's the path towards our liberation, fulfillment, expression, and authentic beauty being readily available." - @drdanengle on @WellnessForce Radio 241 wellnessforce.com/241   Click here to get your copy of The Concussion Repair Manual by Dr. Dan Engle Concussion -- the biggest name in today's high-impact sports. As more and more high-profile athletes come forward to share their stories of invisible suffering after head injuries, we as a culture are finally acknowledging this silent epidemic. The Concussion Repair Manual is written as a user’s guide for those suffering after head traumas and those that support them. It is one-part “textbook,” packed with the leading research on medical technologies for healing the injured brain, and one-part “workbook,” offering a step-by-step method for making and tracking a personalized recovery regimen. Dr. Dan Engle's background and passion for concussion repair stem from a three-decade investigation into the many modalities for healing his own traumas. When the usual medical treatments didn’t help, he explored what was possible, found what worked and put them into this manual - "the best of the best" in the medical arena for recovering from sports-related head injury.   Listen To Episode 241 As Dr. Dan Engle Uncovers: His connection with human optimization and wellness leaders such as Paul Chek, Kyle Kingsbury, and Aubrey Marcus. The current anxiety and depression we're currently going through as a society; especially for adolescents, geriatrics, and veterans. Why social media and feeling urgent all the time is leading us to feel more lonely, anxious, and depressed than ever before. What emotions we feel when we're being inauthentic and lying on social media. Why time urgency is the number one cause of stress. What revelation he had while healing from his injuries that he didn't want to live by other people's expectations and didn't want to be working in a hospital for the rest of his career. His experience from the plant medicine, Ayahuasca, and what he learned about himself from it. Why our society resorts to prescribing medication rather than looking at the core issue of a person's health problem. Why psychedelics aren't for everyone and they should be respected rather than misused. Benefits of psychedelics for those who are suitable candidates to use them to heal. Proper and regulated screening, preparation, and integration that patients would receive during treatment with psychedelics such as Psilocybin. Differences between levels 1, 2 and 3 plant medicine experiences and which ones are the most recommended for therapeutic use. Why he believes plant medicine and psychedelics are part of a sacred path for people who are candidates to participate. Why he contemplated suicide after diving so deep into plant medicine and thinking about all that was expected of him by other people. How he was in this deep Bardo phase of being in between lives and worlds have his experience with Ayahuasca. What The Satori Method is and how it helps with multi-level healing. Sensory deprivation, Vipassana, and meditation - how they can be integrated into plant medicine preparation. Why being able to practice sensory deprivation and meditation in a float tank is so beneficial and vital to being able to experience plant medicine. Why mindfulness meditation can be harmful to those with active PTSD and trauma but external guidance is better. Power Quotes From The Show "We're more digitally connected than we've ever been but we're less socially connected than we've ever been. We, as social beings who bonded for connection, are fighting a loneliness epidemic." - @drdanengle on @WellnessForce Radio episode 241 wellnessforce.com/241 "If we can't talk it through at therapy, then we rely on pharmaceuticals to manage the symptoms. Our health care is a system that's built for acute care management but it's horrible at chronic care support and core issue resolution. Psychedelic medicines are good for the core issues where psychiatry is weak. Many of the psychedelics are good for one if not all of the five core primary archetypes of psychiatric symptoms: depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction and pain." - Dr. Dan Engle "When we become clear with who we are and bring our shadow into the light, we will get to know it. This process helps us integrate our work with the healing. Plant medicines don't fix us and they're not designed to do that. This is our work to do. The medicines help us get clear with our truth and the direction of being able to actually actualize that truth via the next steps and orientation but they don't do the work for us." - Dr. Dan Engle "If we can solidify the foundation to be able to self-regulate better then when we do come up in close with our core issues and shadow material, we're more willing, ready, and able to process it, learn from it, heal it, integrate it, and become more whole." - Dr. Dan Engle   Links From Today's Show Dr. Dan Engle Facebook Instagram Twitter The Revive Treatment Centers of America Facebook Instagram Full Spectrum Medicine The Satori Method Onnit The Concussion Repair Manual California Vision 2020 Huachuma: The Forgotten Psychedelic (Full Documentary) Ayahuasca - Drink The Jungle Documentary Are Psychedelic Drugs the Next Medical Breakthrough?

So, you can either flex it to boost your motivation or perseverance which is great or clench it to resist your efforts which is bad. - Jennifer Cohen Is it better to have a fixed, go-go-go mindset on losing weight or do we get to focus on building small, new habits regularly for greater health results?   ---> Join the Wellness Warrior VIP Club: get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.** ---> Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well.

Power Quotes From The Show "Being mentally fit makes you physically fit. Being present, conscious, having set intentions and goals is the most important part. Losing weight and staying fit is a by-product of all of that." - Jennifer Cohen "All of your focus on fitness is for naught if your diet is not there. 80% of your results come from what you eat and the other 20% is tweaking and toning your workouts. You can't do one without the other."  - Jennifer Cohen "As we get older and have more stressors in life, it's important that we do a lot for our wellness and mind through a holistic approach that's not just nutrition and exercise. What are you doing for your wellbeing? What are you doing for your reflection? Are you drinking enough water? What are you doing for your mobility; are you stretching? There are a lot of different things in the wellness umbrella that are important."  - Jennifer Cohen "Having a goal of getting stronger versus getting skinnier is a more positive message than just losing weight and it's a healthier place to be mentally. Exercise helps to build confidence and mental strength. The stronger you get physically, the more confidence you will have and the stronger you will feel mentally."  - Jennifer Cohen "Motivation comes and goes. You can go to a Tony Robbins seminar and be super motivated and then within the next day, that feeling starts to wane. Same with willpower; it ebbs and flows. You shouldn't be relying on motivation and willpower; you have to build healthy habits and routines to keep you on a path for long-term success. Once you're on autopilot with that healthy behavior and you don't even have to think about exercise or nutrition,  you can use your brain for other things that need your attention." - Jennifer Cohen Links From Today's Show   Jennifer Cohen Facebook Twitter Instagram Badass Body Goals Strong Is The New Skinny No Gym Required Habits & Hustle Podcast 6 Morning Habits That Are Destroying Your Productivity No-Gym Workout With Jennifer Cohen Surrounding Yourself With The Right People Changes Everything Four Ways Your Inner Circle Is Crucial To Your Success 10 Things Healthy People Have in Common How to Set Fitness Goals You'll Actually Achieve This No-Gym, HIIT Workout Gets the Job Done in 10 Minutes A Winter Workout to Improve Your Focus About Jennifer Cohen Jennifer Cohen is a leading fitness and wellness authority, best-selling author, entrepreneur and frequent guest on national media.  She was recently named in “ Greatist” 100 most influential people in Health and Fitness and #16 Most Impactful Fitness Entrepreneurs on Web MD.

About The 1% Rule Click here to buy your own copy of The 1% Ruly by Tommy Baker In a highlight reel, microwave world — you're led to believe success is right around the corner: It's not working. Not only is it not working with your ability to achieve your goals, but we've also never been more frustrated, stuck, stressed and unfulfilled. Most personal development is all about the big and bold vision, yet these days we're not missing ambition or dreamers... We're missing results and execution. But what if there was a way to shut off the noise, fall in love with the process and take one step forward every single day as you paint your life's masterpiece? Enter The 1% Rule — a daily system designed to help you close the gap without the crushing pressure that has kept you stuck in the past. The 1% Rule was designed to answer three core questions: Why do some people seem to achieve massive success with everything they do — while others can't seem to get out of their own way? What separates those who get excited and inspired for a season, a quarter or a few months — and those who are consistently on fire? What are the mindsets, principles, routines, and behaviors of those who execute daily, and those who sit on the sidelines pondering? ...through answering these questions over the last decade in the trenches with thousands of people — they are now the framework of The 1% Rule and are yours today. "All transformation is emotional. Whether you want to lose ten pounds or grow your business, you're going to have that emotional battle that comes with change and getting uncomfortable." - Tommy Baker     Listen To Episode 254 As Tommy Baker Uncovers: What the 1% rule actually is and his mission to share it with the world to help you win the day. Why the constant hustle and bustle isn't even doing you any good by creating constant overwhelm. His experience in a float tank and how it allowed him to explore his thoughts and eventually change his life. How he let go of everything in his life to up and move out west to Arizona for a new pace and environment. The power of not getting caught up in thinking 'how' you're going to make something happen. What the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen is all about and how it relates to the 1%. Why you can't make the most out of life transformations without being focused on small developments that can help you build a foundation. Why he focuses on purpose, attention, and action rather than 'hustle' when he wakes up every day at 4 AM. How he began to lean into his own emotions and feel each feeling for greater emotional intelligence. His experience working with entrepreneurs and helping them navigate their dark emotions, lack of something missing in their lives, and thoughts of self-hate for greater inner peace. How getting radically honest with yourself without judgment will open new doors. One of his own biggest breakdowns that allowed him to have the breakthrough he needed. How one of his greatest breakthroughs came from finally surrendering which then allowed him to heal from his illness. The steps you can take to embrace all of the emotions you feel, the breakdowns you experience, and your individual wellness journey. How you can practice surrender and letting go on a daily basis. A deep look into the biology and energetics of the law of attraction. Why both failure and success can equally crumble you if you don't do the emotional inner work. Power Quotes From The Show "So many breakthroughs come during breakdowns because that's when the band-aid is ripped off and we're actually willing to take an honest look at ourselves. That's when change happens." - Tommy Baker "We can grasp all of the answers we need in the moments of silence and where our inspiration lies. Anywhere in which you feel a pull, there are your answers. If you give yourself enough space, all of the answers you need will come up. All of the distraction, noise, and stimulus you face elsewhere is just blocking the answers but if you dig deep, you can get them back." - Tommy Baker "Ultimately, emotions can be used in one of two ways: to create or to destroy. If we don't understand our emotions, we become lost and often take the destructive route through bad habits that destroy our bodies or relationships. Getting to know oneself is a beautiful journey and you have to be okay with these "negative emotions" which aren't even negative emotions. If we have the courage to dig deep enough into the dark, there's always going to be something in there like a moment of clarity or new opportunity that we never noticed saw before." - Tommy Baker "A lot of people talk about unconditional love with others but what about unconditional love with ourselves? Are we willing to face ourselves with these dark emotions and not judge ourselves or feel guilty but just be a witness to them and appreciate ourselves despite our flaws?" - Tommy Baker   Links From Today's Show Tommy Baker Facebook Twitter Instagram Resist Average Academy Facebook Instagram YouTube Resist Average Academy Podcast UnResolution The 1% Rule The Leap of Your Life by Tommy Baker | Pre-Order Now Tommy Baker - Influencive Blogs Self-Resilience | essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson Guided Abundance Meditation | Bob Proctor Dr. John DeMartini | The Law of Attraction Dr. John DeMartini Kaizen Alan Watts Zhuang Zhou Joseph Campbell Gary Vaynerchuk David Deida Dr. Joe Dispenza Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert WFR 055 Gay and Katie Hendricks About Tommy Baker Ever get excited and inspired by a bold vision -- then completely get lost on what to do next?

"Embracing your feminine side is not a weakness; it's just a different way for women to express themselves. As women, we can be powerful in a feminine way." - Dr. Brenda Walding  Sick of Being Sick - Dr. Brenda Walding   Listen To Episode 253 As Dr. Brenda Walding Uncovers: Why she chose to not go down the traditional path of chemotherapy and radiation to heal her breast cancer but decided to try natural medicine instead. The importance of being in a good environment in order to heal the body, mind, and soul. Benefits of forest bathing and essential oils to help improve your health and mindset.

They're meant to be fluid so that when we embrace and feel them, they move through us. They don't get stuck unless we don't allow ourselves to feel them." - Dr. Brenda Walding "A lot of my healing process focused on embracing the feminine energy by dropping into my heart and feeling my feelings. Instead of being this charging athlete, I turned towards learning how to flow and dance with music. That started to wake up this creative, feminine energy within me that I had not known before. It felt so good to begin to be aware of my feminine power. There is power in this feminine way of being and it's not a weakness; it's just a different way for women to express themselves. As women, we're not meant to express ourselves and be powerful in a masculine way; we can be powerful in a feminine way."  - Dr. Brenda Walding "I had this sense that I was ill because there was something wrong with me or I wasn't worthy of God's love but the more I read and did the inner work, I realized something. The God that is love does not punish or create disease and that fundamental belief that somehow I deserve to be punished was blocking my healing. So, switching to thinking about how this power that created me, the cosmos, these beautiful sunsets, and this extraordinary world is also within me helped me to become more open to experiencing and receiving this healing." - Dr. Brenda Walding  "If we can begin to open or shift our perception that disease is potentially this divine opportunity and this catalyst for radical growth and transformation, we can really go in and remove all that isn't us and awaken to the truth of who we really are." - Dr. Brenda Walding  "We all have this deep desire to live our best life and feel peace, happiness, purpose, passion, and connection but the only way to experience our optimal life is to feel. Part of the human experience is this symphony of emotions from happiness and joy to sadness and anger. Embracing all of these contrasting emotions is what it means to be human. So, give yourself permission to feel those feelings. Feel each feeling and love what you feel. No matter what it is, love that feeling." - Dr. Brenda Walding   Links From Today's Show Dr. Brenda Walding Facebook Instagram Email at risetoradiance@gmail.com  NativePath Facebook Twitter  Instagram Sick of Being Sick by Dr. Brenda Walding The Anti-Inflammatory Diet Guide by Dr. Chad Walding and Dr. Brenda Walding Well Being Journal Doctor's Guide to Wild Oregano Oil - 101 Uses - Cass Ingram The Cure Is In The Cupboard by Dr. Cass Ingram Marianne Williamson Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol K.

(Full Rules Here)  More About The Book The bestselling author of Head Strong and The Bulletproof Diet answers the question, “How can I kick more ass at life?” by culling the wisdom of world-class thought leaders, maverick scientists, and disruptive entrepreneurs to provide proven techniques for becoming happier, healthier, and smarter. When Dave Asprey started his Bulletproof Radio podcast more than five years ago, he sought out influencers in an array of disciplines, from biochemists toiling in unknown laboratories to business leaders changing the world to meditation masters discovering inner peace. His guests were some of the top performing humans in the world, people who had changed their areas of study or even pioneered entirely new fields. Dave wanted to know: What did they have in common? What mattered most to them? What made them so successful—and what made them tick? At the end of each interview, Dave asked the same question: “What are your top three recommendations for people who want to perform better at being human?” After performing a statistical analysis of the answers, he found that the wisdom gleaned from these highly successful people could be distilled into three main objectives: finding ways to become smarter, faster, and happier. Game Changers is the culmination of Dave’s years-long immersion in these conversations, offering 46 science-backed, high performance “laws” that are a virtual playbook for how to get better at life. "Emotional intelligence is hackable and you do have to do the work but maybe you can do the work more effectively. There can be a fast path instead of a slow one." - Dave Asprey   GAME CHANGERS GIFT GIVEAWAYS What works for the game changers in this book, can work for you!

Listen To Episode 250 As Dave Asprey Uncovers: The various health struggles he has faced in his life and how biohacking helped him find the answers he sought. His program, 40 Years of Zen, and the fast-paced meditation benefits you can get from participating in it. Why he wrote, Game Changers, in order to answer the question, 'What are the three most important pieces of advice for someone who wants to perform better at everything they do as a human being?' How he came to discover the 46 Laws for High Performance after interviewing hundreds of people. Why it's impossible to actually be able to complete every single personal development practice in this lifetime and that's okay. His documentary, Moldy Movie, about how there are over 100 million homes in the US with toxic mold which are leading to disease. How early trauma including what happens while we're in the womb can affect our personality and fear response as an adult. The power of gratitude and how it can help us rewire the brain, stop the negative voice in our head and let go of shame. His own gratitude practice and how he lets go of the negative voice in his head. How EMDR is an effective tool for therapy and resetting old patterns. The common thread and patterns of emotional intelligence and intuition that Dave discovered in these high performers during the interviews he conducted for Game Changers. Why he titled the law, Eat Like Your Grandma, rather than title it with the common Paleo phrase, Eat Like A Caveman. His definition of consciousness and how it relates to his work with Bulletproof. The role that the ego played for him at Bulletproof's beginnings compared to now years later. How you can step outside of yourself and look back with a different mindset to see what's actually going on. The orgasm hangover for men and how ejaculation sucks their energy so that they're much less likely to be loving, kind, and patient the day after compared to women who feel a higher sense of connection. The 4 Laws of Sex in Game Changers explained and how intimacy can lead to an altered state of mind. The laws and rules, "Money Doesn't Make You Happy" and "The Power of 'No." How he uses the power of 'no' to help him stay balanced and make decisions. His own most important three pieces of advice for someone who wants to perform better at everything they do as a human being.   Power Quotes From The Show "There's so much that we can do on this planet and I don't want to waste time getting to the next challenge. We're here to evolve as human beings." - Dave Asprey "Your body is a very powerful pattern matching system and it'll match patterns of threats long before you can think about them. You might feel at unease about something that triggers you and you don't even know why. Then you end up making a story about why you feel that way and the story probably isn't even true. Even worse, we beat ourselves up afterward for reacting to this made up story. The first thing to do to permanently let go of a trauma so that the pattern matching no longer matches the pattern is actually gratitude." - Dave Asprey "Consciousness is your ability to be aware of what's actually happening in the world around you instead of your story of what's going on. If you want to be conscious and you want to be free, you have to understand that the ego is part of this ancient bacteria operating system that keeps you alive. The ego isn't going to go away but if you let it drive instead of you, bad things will happen. At Bulletproof, we want to engage people's ego to then dissolve the ego." - Dave Asprey  "Having a sense of purpose, a mission, and knowing why you're here is a big challenge because if you don't know why you're here, it can be painful. When you're doing things that society, your parents, or trauma tells you that you're supposed to be doing but they're not fulfilling you, that's a pretty good sign that you don't know why you're here. I wish I could tell people really quickly how to know why you're here but it's going to take some work and really deep self-reflection such as journaling or meditation. When your purpose in life comes to you, it'll be really obvious and everything works. When you do other things that don't give you meaning, life sucks.  So, find that mission and know why you're here." - Dave Asprey  "Understand that so much of your decision making is an emergent phenomenon from ancient bacteria who think they're in charge. This probably comes from what's in your gut and the way it talks to the bacteria that run your power systems and your environmental sensing systems. If you understand that you are not the voice in your head, you just share a hardware with it, it's not you and it doesn't even share your best interest at heart, that can unlock so much consciousness, emotional intelligence, and even just the ability to show up, not in a big way, but just to dinner." - Dave Asprey    Links From Today's Show Dave Asprey Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Bulletproof Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Game Changers by Dave Asprey  Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey Biohacker Meets Spirit Hacker: Shaman Durek #517 Bulletproof Upgrade Labs Bulletproof Cafés Head Strong by Dave Asprey The Bulletproof Diet by Dave Asprey Bulletproof Homebiotic 4 oz Concentrate Moldy The Movie – The New Bulletproof Documentary Bessel Van Der Kolk M.D. 40 Years of Zen How to Rewire Your Traumatized Brain Bruce Lipton | Epigenetics Gabby Bernstein Eric Kandel Jack Canfield Stan Grof Esther Perel John Gray Chapter 11 of Think Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill - Sex Transmutation WFR 046 Dr. John Gray About Dave Asprey Dave Asprey, the founder of Bulletproof and author of New York Times bestseller The Bulletproof Diet, is a Silicon Valley investor and technology entrepreneur who spent two decades and over $1 Million to hack his own biology.

What are you going to do in the fulfillment of your life to honor your family, traits, and what's possible by being one individual who rocks it?" - Lauren Handel Zander "You're stuck with yourself for the rest of your life. That inner dialogue of yours is your relationship to yourself. Do you like yourself when you look in the mirror? What are you saying to yourself? What do you think of other people? Where you are with yourself is basically the most important relationship you're having that then extends to all the other areas in your life." - Lauren Handel Zander "We naturally operate out of fear and we're afraid of people leaving us if we say or do the wrong thing. So, we lie to protect other people but really we're not checking in with ourselves about why our relationships with other people are the way that they are. Fear is the protection mechanism that's ruling us; not love." - Lauren Handel Zander "Most people, in their heart of hearts, know who they are but then they're corrupted by the family history that has been carried on through them. By stripping away all of the views and issues that have been passed onto you, you can have your own dream of what you want to fulfill on this planet." - Lauren Handel Zander   Links From Today's Show Lauren Handel Zander Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Handel Group Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Maybe It's You by Lauren Handel Zander InnerU.Coach The Handel Group Current Reality Quiz Complimentary 30-minute consultation with Handel Group A Little Magic Goes a Long Way Want a Radical Miracle in Your Life?

This pain point – the quitting itself – is often the barrier to change. Many avoid quitting because they fear the unknown. Will they find another career or relationship? Will their new path provide financial stability? Will friends and family question the decision to quit?  Will society see them as quitters? These questions generally go unaddressed. But that’s where Quitting by Design comes in – its sole focus is to help people through their quits successfully so they can proceed with their transformations.

And she wants nothing more than to pass these skills along to you.   With this book, Dr. Morski aims to pass on what she's learned about quitting not only from her own experiences but also through interviews with others who have made successful quits themselves. She tackles the stigma surrounding quitting while highlighting what a useful and necessary tool it can be in carving out a life you enjoy.   Listen To Episode 247 As Dr. Lynn Marie Morski Uncovers: Her journey as a "lifelong quitter" from going to a physician to an attorney to a law professor.

Her 3 physical practices that can help you get clear about whether or else you need a strategic quit. Power Quotes From The Show "'QUIT until the life you want is yours." - Dr. Lynn Marie Morski "If you're quitting something that may seem like a dream job to others or feel this societal pressure to not quit, you have to stop and realize that the people who are going to judge you aren't you. They're not in your shoes, they're not in your head, and they're not living your life. You're the one who has to live your life; why should you let what somebody else's thoughts of you shape your existence?" - Lynn Marie Morski "Does your boss want an employee who's constantly looking for a way out? No. Do other people a favor by quitting. Quitting is actually a generous act at some point because they should want somebody in that position who wants to be in that position. If you're forcing yourself to be in this job, you're actually doing them a disservice and there's an opportunity cost for both you and them." - Lynn Marie Morski "As a society, we're avoiding putting ourselves out there. We need to quit this facade, quit the mask, and quit this external game. Social media has made it so much worse and is doing the opposite of what it should be doing." - Lynn Marie Morski   Links From Today's Show Dr. Lynn Marie Morski Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Quitting by Design by Dr. Lynn Marie Morski Quit Happens Podcast So Full of Quit!

Power Quotes From The Show ]"A break up is a heart issue that has to heal on its own terms. Breakups can feel devastating. Part of healing the heart on its terms is to honor its feelings, give it space, and release its emotions." - @cristabeck on @wellnessforce Radio episode 244 wellnessforce.com/244 "When a woman is centered and powerful in herself, she can deeply contribute to a man from her own love radar. This is her place of wisdom and intuition. Not only will a woman's love radar enrich a man's life but it will also allow them to come closer to a woman so that she feels safe and adored." - Crista Beck "#MeToo is really a chance for women to express the pain that they've been repressing for years of being mistreated by men. It's a beautiful thing that women are sharing their stories and uniting in this mission to not be mistreated anymore. It's an important part of the process to be able to express your pain or anger because it's part of the healing process." - Crista Beck "I understand that people want connection but you cannot base your decision of who you want to be with solely on whether or not you feel a spark on the first date. Choosing your life partner is the most powerful decision that you will make in your life. We as a society are not trained on how to do that and so there's a lot of confusion on how to choose someone. Choosing someone just based on physical chemistry is a recipe for disaster. Yes, you want to be attracted to them but you want to be grounded and consider the actual characteristics that you know you need and want in a long-term partner." - Crista Beck "Our society encourages people to just get back out there and start dating again after a breakup. People don't realize that this is a heart issue on its terms. You need to honor your heart just like you would treat your body and mind after an accident. Breakups can feel devastating as if you broke all the bones in your body. Part of healing the heart on its terms is to honor its feelings, give it space, and release those emotions." - Crista Beck   Links From Today's Show Crista Beck Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Google+ LinkedIn Call with Crista - Your Laser "Find Love" Discovery Session Your Dating Compass™ — What It Is And Why You Need One Beware the Fairytale: "He's Not My Type" "2 Ways To Stop Sabotaging Your Love Life For Good” Katherine Woodward Thomas Gigi Sage Power Connections for Women by Gigi Sage Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill Rhythmia Spiritual Retreat Center: Yoga & Meditation WFR 157 Amy Baglan WFR 204 Robyn Openshaw WFR 208 Maddy Moon About Crista Beck Crista Beck, The Love Radar, is a dating expert who teaches single people who are seeking a healthy and long-term relationship how to attract quality dating partners, increase their confidence, and take the actions necessary to have the love they deeply desire.

Emotions are an essential part of our human design. Ignoring, denying, or feeling shame about having them will only weigh you down with emotional obesity.

Discover how to enlighten your life by letting go of the emotional weight, discovering your truth, and living an authentic life. "People have this idea that having emotions means there's something wrong with them. There's nothing wrong with us; it's just how we're designed as humans. Accept, examine, and then let your feelings go." - @laurascoe on @WellnessForce Radio episode 243 wellnessforce.com/243   Click here to get your copy of Emotional Obesity by Laura Coe Every year, we spend millions of dollars on healthcare and beauty systems. Our days begin with teeth brushing, hair combing, and perhaps even exercise. Even if there are still many who need persuading or incentivizing towards participating in such routines, there is a general consensus that these self-care rituals are good for us. But when it comes to our emotional health, we are taught from a young age to “get over” our feelings, and yet, in reality, most of us just stockpile them, carrying their weight throughout life. Even though we are not conscious of them, the feelings are weighing us down from the life we want to live. The messages they create—of not being good enough, not worthy, undeserving–become the guiding principles of our lives. Our goal is to become aware of our feelings. Then subscribe to the habit of daily rituals for our emotional health, just as we have for our physical health. By doing this we can free ourselves from the destructive and unresolved feelings of the unconscious mind and begin to direct our lives from our authentic self where our true passions and desires reside.   Listen To Episode 243 As Laura Coe Uncovers: What society says about both men and women sharing their emotions plus what we can do to change that narrative. How emotional obesity is keeping us from living an authentic life that we live. What factors are piling on the stress and negative emotions we're experiencing as a society day to day in the USA. Why people feel like they're going crazy when they're just experiencing natural, human feelings. Emotional fitness and her guided exercise to help you grow your emotional strength. The moment she started her own emotional wellness journey after she sold her healthcare company and began seeking for something more authentic. Why success is path but purpose and fulfillment are so much more meaningful to us. First steps you can take to really get an inventory of what you're feeling and how to digest those emotions to find your purpose. How she helps people find and confront the fears that are holding them back from discovering their purpose. How to start being honest and authentic with yourself by asking simple questions like, "What do I really want? Do I want tea or coffee right now?" Anger and shame - how they let us know that something has triggered us so that we can learn more about why it bothered us so much. Emotional weight loss and how you can be more present with your body through this process. How to let your truth unfold and let go of the fear of change. Why your gut feelings might actually be a false sense that's keeping you from listening to your authentic self. How she listened to her own authentic self that warned her against doing business with a specific agent for her book because he wasn't right for her. Why your authentic self is presented to the world based on the choices you make every day. Why you don't have to rush into action but can go at your own pace and be genuine with each step you make. How we can let technology not get in the way of our health by being aware of how we use and interact with it. Power Quotes From The Show "Don't let emotions weigh you down. Instead, you have to get curious about yourself and accept that there's nothing right or wrong about feelings; they're just they're interesting pieces information." - @laurascoe on @WellnessForce Radio episode 243 wellnessforce.com/243 "We're aware of the impact that food has on our body but when it comes to our thoughts, we don't really consider how they impact our lives. What do you feel when you think of your outlook and perspective of the world, life, and yourself? Do they weigh you down? How can we get to a place where our thoughts don't feel heavy but instead we feel light, free, and content?" - Laura Coe "There's a tipping point where we become overly focused on the external world, people and their thoughts, other's approvals, and even our own thoughts. That's when we lose touch with that deep connection with our authentic self. These barriers of thoughts, knowledge, and focus on the outside world block us from focusing on ourselves and our internal compass and inner truth." - Laura Coe "This idea that the feelings we're having are somehow right or wrong is false. People often think having emotions means there's something wrong with them when what we feel is completely normal. Then, they feel amazed that they actually have all these emotions they're feeling. So, with each strong emotion, find out what triggered that reaction within you so you can grow, learn, and make a decision of what to do with that emotion." - Laura Coe "Some people don't know where to start at all with what they want to do with their lives. If that's you, it's a process to get there but it's not that difficult. It's really just learning what your unique talents are, what you feel uplifted towards, and then starting to pursue those things more and finding what feels more like play and enjoyment again to you in life." - Laura Coe "If I'm feeling angry about something while another person isn't, that's an inner energy that somehow was triggered in me. In moments like that, we want to start asking ourselves what's happening within us and get very curious about ourselves. To get curious about yourself, you have to be able to accept that there's nothing right or wrong about these emotional states; they're just happening and they're interesting pieces of information." - Laura Coe   Links From Today's Show  Laura Coe Facebook Twitter LinkedIn YouTube Emotional Obesity by Laura Coe The Art of Authenticity Podcast One on One Coaching with Laura Coe Figure out your emotional weight How To Conquer Fear: An Emotional Workout How To Have A Life Of Purpose The Value of Daily Emotional Workouts Do You Suffer From Emotional Obesity? 5 Essential Steps To A Cure Marianne Williamson Gary Vaynerchuk Tony Robbins WFR 223 Dr. Ruscio About Laura Coe   Laura co-founded Litholink Corporation, a healthcare company serving over 350,000 patients per month nationally.

Power Quotes From The Show "A scarcity mindset is one in which we put all of our time and energy into business and therefore the family must suffer. A scarcity mindset isn't a time issue but an attention issue." - @aaronhinde of @DrinkLIFEAID on @wellnessforce Radio episode 242 wellnessforce.com/242 "We're all on a trajectory whether it's positive or negative. So many young people want velocity and for things to happen right now but if you're on a negative trajectory, you're going to crash and burn even faster. Your trajectory has to be positive and all the fundamentals have to be in place. If the trajectory is right, the velocity will eventually come." - Aaron Hinde "While it's easy to maintain momentum, it's so hard to create it. You can't just drop everything on focus on one thing. You have to keep everything from the little things to relationships at full momentum. Momentum fueled with the right trajectory and alignment towards a common goal with your team will help you crush it." - Aaron Hinde "The key is to not let your negative thoughts to keep circulating in your mind because otherwise, you will end up manifesting that negativity. We can never get rid of our demons but there are tactics to control the negative head talk. When we control the negative head talk, we can switch over to an appreciation mindset." - Aaron Hinde   Links From Today's Show Aaron Hinde Facebook Twitter Instagram LIFEAID Beverage Company Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Orion Melehan LIFEAID Products Product Locator LIFEAID Press Spartan Race Spartan Race Partners With LIFEAID – Names Leading Supplement Drink FITAID Official Recovery Drink Aaron Hinde and Orion Melehan at Event Santa Cruz The LIFEAID Story by Co Founder Aaron Hinde How Aaron Hinde, Co-Founder of LifeAid, Made it to Success How LIFEAID Rolled Into the Competitive Beverage Industry with Massive Success with Aaron Hinde [Episode 74] Michael Matthews Tony Robbins About LIFEAID LIFEAID founders Orion Melehan and Aaron Hinde first met in a Crossfit Box in Santa Cruz, California, in 2009. Melehan was a Certified Financial Planner and Hinde was a sports chiropractor who worked with many local athletes. A friendship was quickly struck, which later evolved into a business partnership. The two were convinced that conscious consumers would start to demand alternatives to high sugar, high caffeine, and artificial mass market drinks. They were equally convinced that consumers were looking for more functionality than the caffeine found in energy drinks or isotonic sports drinks.  After months of brainstorming and collaboration, they created their vision for LIFEAID and funded it with a mere $30,000 apiece. Melehan’s financial expertise helped craft the business plan.  Hinde’s background in nutrition and chiropractic care proved essential when developing LIFEAID products as he worked with their team of a biochemist and beverage scientists. LIFEAID now makes six specially-formulated blends, plus a protein/carb food pouch  Fast forward to today and the company’s products can be found in hundreds of golf courses, thousands of gyms, and nationwide in fine retailers such as Whole Foods, Sprouts, and The Vitamin Shoppe.  FITAID is the official recovery drink of the 2017 CrossFit Games LIFEAID remains an independent brand run by its founders – not a subsidiary of a large beverage conglomerate.  That spirit of independence is reflected in their company culture, the products they offer and the communities they serve.  Join The Wellness Warrior VIP Club:  **Click on the photo above to get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.**   More Top Episodes 226 Paul Chek: The Revolution Is Coming (3 Part Series) 131 Drew Manning: Emotional Fitness 129 Gretchen Rubin: The Four Tendencies  183 Dr. Kyra Bobinet: Brain Science 196 Aubrey Marcus: Own The Day 103 Robb Wolf: Wired To Eat Best of The Best: The Top 10 Guests From over 200 Shows Get More Wellness In Your Life Join the WFR Community on facebook Tweet us on Twitter: Send us a fun tweet (or a what's up) Comment on the Facebook page Rate & Review Wellness Force

Learn how he's helping design a new blueprint for psychiatric healing to help decrease addiction, depression, trauma, and PTSD.  "Coming to truth is not a comfortable path. We don't do this work because it's easy; we do this because it's the path towards our liberation, fulfillment, expression, and authentic beauty being readily available." - @drdanengle on @WellnessForce Radio 241 wellnessforce.com/241   Click here to get your copy of The Concussion Repair Manual by Dr. Dan Engle Concussion -- the biggest name in today's high-impact sports. As more and more high-profile athletes come forward to share their stories of invisible suffering after head injuries, we as a culture are finally acknowledging this silent epidemic. The Concussion Repair Manual is written as a user’s guide for those suffering after head traumas and those that support them. It is one-part “textbook,” packed with the leading research on medical technologies for healing the injured brain, and one-part “workbook,” offering a step-by-step method for making and tracking a personalized recovery regimen. Dr. Dan Engle's background and passion for concussion repair stem from a three-decade investigation into the many modalities for healing his own traumas. When the usual medical treatments didn’t help, he explored what was possible, found what worked and put them into this manual - "the best of the best" in the medical arena for recovering from sports-related head injury.   Listen To Episode 241 As Dr. Dan Engle Uncovers: His connection with human optimization and wellness leaders such as Paul Chek, Kyle Kingsbury, and Aubrey Marcus. The current anxiety and depression we're currently going through as a society; especially for adolescents, geriatrics, and veterans. Why social media and feeling urgent all the time is leading us to feel more lonely, anxious, and depressed than ever before. What emotions we feel when we're being inauthentic and lying on social media. Why time urgency is the number one cause of stress. What revelation he had while healing from his injuries that he didn't want to live by other people's expectations and didn't want to be working in a hospital for the rest of his career. His experience from the plant medicine, Ayahuasca, and what he learned about himself from it. Why our society resorts to prescribing medication rather than looking at the core issue of a person's health problem. Why psychedelics aren't for everyone and they should be respected rather than misused. Benefits of psychedelics for those who are suitable candidates to use them to heal. Proper and regulated screening, preparation, and integration that patients would receive during treatment with psychedelics such as Psilocybin. Differences between levels 1, 2 and 3 plant medicine experiences and which ones are the most recommended for therapeutic use. Why he believes plant medicine and psychedelics are part of a sacred path for people who are candidates to participate. Why he contemplated suicide after diving so deep into plant medicine and thinking about all that was expected of him by other people. How he was in this deep Bardo phase of being in between lives and worlds have his experience with Ayahuasca. What The Satori Method is and how it helps with multi-level healing. Sensory deprivation, Vipassana, and meditation - how they can be integrated into plant medicine preparation. Why being able to practice sensory deprivation and meditation in a float tank is so beneficial and vital to being able to experience plant medicine. Why mindfulness meditation can be harmful to those with active PTSD and trauma but external guidance is better. Power Quotes From The Show "We're more digitally connected than we've ever been but we're less socially connected than we've ever been. We, as social beings who bonded for connection, are fighting a loneliness epidemic." - @drdanengle on @WellnessForce Radio episode 241 wellnessforce.com/241 "If we can't talk it through at therapy, then we rely on pharmaceuticals to manage the symptoms. Our health care is a system that's built for acute care management but it's horrible at chronic care support and core issue resolution. Psychedelic medicines are good for the core issues where psychiatry is weak. Many of the psychedelics are good for one if not all of the five core primary archetypes of psychiatric symptoms: depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction and pain." - Dr. Dan Engle "When we become clear with who we are and bring our shadow into the light, we will get to know it. This process helps us integrate our work with the healing. Plant medicines don't fix us and they're not designed to do that. This is our work to do. The medicines help us get clear with our truth and the direction of being able to actually actualize that truth via the next steps and orientation but they don't do the work for us." - Dr. Dan Engle "If we can solidify the foundation to be able to self-regulate better then when we do come up in close with our core issues and shadow material, we're more willing, ready, and able to process it, learn from it, heal it, integrate it, and become more whole." - Dr. Dan Engle   Links From Today's Show Dr. Dan Engle Facebook Instagram Twitter The Revive Treatment Centers of America Facebook Instagram Full Spectrum Medicine The Satori Method Onnit The Concussion Repair Manual California Vision 2020 Huachuma: The Forgotten Psychedelic (Full Documentary) Ayahuasca - Drink The Jungle Documentary Are Psychedelic Drugs the Next Medical Breakthrough?

If you want to have a healthy brain, you have to have a healthy gut. Someone who has depression and brain fog can feel better in just a couple of months by understanding the enteric nervous system and healing their gut. - Dr. Michael Ruscio How does the gut connect, communicate, and work with the brain through nerve signals and stress hormones to not only thrive and heal but to impact your emotions and intuition too?

Discover why focusing on both mental and gut health go hand in hand. "Slow down, do one thing at a time, and realize that to learn what your body needs, you can't do 7 things at once.

Learn to listen to your body and trust what it says." - @DrRuscio on @WellnessForce wellnessforce.com/236   Buy your own copy of Healthy Gut, Healthy You Over two thousand years ago, Hippocrates said that all disease begins in the gut.

A vibrant, healthy you begins with your gut start healing your body today! Listen To Episode 236 As Dr. Michael Ruscio Uncovers: The Enteric Nervous System (ENS) - what it is, how it connects to the gut, and why it's the second brain. How gut problems like dysbiosis and IBS not only affect the stomach system but the brain and our moods as well. Types of skin issues might occur if a person has a leaky gut. What advanced interleukins testing is and how it helps to check for inflammation. Why each person needs to figure out how gluten affects their individual body compared to focusing on avoiding it at all cost. The benefits of the elimination diet to help your body heal and better understand if any foods affect your body. Why the Ketogenic diet isn't for everyone even though it's all everyone is talking about. Why there is no "should" or "should not" when it comes to dieting and eating in a way that matches your individual needs. How some culture's gut microbiotas, lifestyles, and diets can actually be harmful to other people with a different genetic background. Why you shouldn't be spending hundreds of dollars on gut health testing as your first step towards healing. What you should know about the health claims that some clinics are making without any sound evidence. How being fatigued can be connected to how much you're pooping each week. His self-care practice of listening to music, meditating, and spending time in solitude to reflect and think. How he realized he was burnt out from working too much and what he did to balance out work and his life. What next steps we can take for functional medicine and mental health resources to come together to help people. Research being done by clinical studies - how to weed through all the information and be careful because companies will only share positive findings. What it's like to be in a cryotherapy chamber and why he's added it to his self-care practices. Cannabinoids, plant medicine, adaptogens, herbs, CBD, and hemp - can they help the gut? Why taking the minimal suggested dose is so important when it comes to taking any kind of medicine including cannabis. Why slowing down and take your health step by step and observing changes might just be what you need to do to heal. Power Quotes From The Show "There is this connection between the brain and the gut. When you see a problem in the gut, you will almost always see that manifest in the brain. The Enteric Nervous System of the gut is basically your second brain." - @DrRuscio on @WellnessForce Radio wellnessforce.com/236 "When it comes to their health, people make things more complicated than they need to be. They overcomplicate things because they hear other tidbits and have a hard time following just one lead. Or they overcomplicate things in the sense of thinking that in order to follow this protocol, they have to do everything perfectly. The biggest thing people can do is to just find a simple system like the one in Healthy Gut, Healthy You, just chill out, and do their best to go through it." - Dr. Michael Ruscio "If you're someone on a budget and you're trying to get healthy, then do not spend hundreds of dollars on one of these tests because they really don't deliver on the promise that they're making. It's unfortunate that I have to be blowing the whistle here but I'd like it if these companies didn't make these pretty lofty health claims when there really isn't any data to support them." - Dr. Michael Ruscio "Slow down, do one thing at a time, and realize that to learn what your body needs, you can't do 7 things at once.

Why we as humans might not like having to make so many decisions on a regular basis and how structure = freedom. The key to front-loading your day - The benefits of tackling all your favorite health activities early in the morning - exercise, meditation, or drinking your green juice.

Why he believes it's so important to be authentic and truly you on social media in order to attract the right clients for you. His steps on how to truly speak your truth with to your audience on followers online. Power Quotes From The Show "The easiest way for me to change how I feel and shift my mindset is to just start moving my body. Find your healthy outlet to really move your mind and body in a more positive matter." - @yelkaim on @wellnessforce Radio episode 232 wellnessforce.com/232 "When you give yourself a certain identity, you kind of box yourself into a stereotype to some degree. So, a lot of people with weight issues can't really identify or visualize themselves as a lean, thin, energetic person. The problem with that is if you can't even see that for yourself as a possibility, then you're not going to act in accordance with that. Our brain is never going to act or our body will never behave in discord with how we see ourselves. So, how we behave and our beliefs; all of this has to be congruent with how we see ourselves showing up in the world which is essentially our self-identity." - Yuri Elkaim "It's important for all of us to realize that we're here for a reason. I don't think we'd be here if there wasn't a reason. So tell yourself, 'I believe I'm here for a reason. Perhaps I'm not too sure what that is but I'm here which means that I'm here for a reason and I'm going to figure it out.' That is part of the spiritual journey of understanding yourself and achieving self-actualization." - Yuri Elkaim "Structure equals freedom. When we look at our lives and how we live our days, I really believe that a lot of people have to structure their day. How does structure give us more freedom? When you plan ahead, you don't have to think in the moment. When you think ahead of time, that alleviates the need to make those daily decisions. Meal planning works because the worst question you can ask yourself in the moment, especially with a family, is, 'What's for dinner?' If you ask that question when it's time for dinner, you've already lost the battle." - Yuri Elkaim   Links From Today's Show Yuri Elkaim Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest Healthpreneur Healthpreneur Live 2018 Facebook Instagram YouTube Healthpreneur Podcast Getting Past Your Emotional Demons to Create a Business Breakthrough with Josh Trent [Episode 125] From Soccer to Bed to No Hair On My Head (My Unusual Journey) The All-Day Energy Diet by Yuri Elkaim The All-Day Fat Burning Diet by Yuri Elkaim How to Beat Cancer: The Top 15 Cancer-Fighting Foods Yuri Elkaim: Raw Food Dieting, Where Vegans Go Wrong, and What Canadians Think of Canola Yuri Elkaim Quick Facts The Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Psycho-Cybernetics Tony Robbins WFR Free Guide: The Morning 21 WFR 046 Dr. John Gray   About Yuri Elkaim Yuri Elkaim is a bit of an outlier and renegade in the nutrition and health community.

Food is not the enemy; we can use food strategically to help us heal. You don't have to follow such rigid diet rules to the point of feeling like you're failing unless you're putting in this daunting amount of effort. There are two diets you can begin with - Paleo or a low FODMAP diet. The beauty of these diets is that all you really need are 2-3 weeks to get a sense for if the diet is working for you. These diets won't 100% heal you in 3 weeks but you will be able to know whether you've improved or not. If you can't tell if you're improving or not, then move onto the next diet. - Dr. Michael Ruscio Activated charcoal, probiotics, antimicrobial herbs and more; there are so many different products as well as various forms of testing, research, and information available to help heal your gut but is it all necessary?

The truth is that you get better results with less testing." - @DrRuscio on @WellnessForce http://bit.ly/wfpodcast Healthy Gut, Healthy You Buy your own copy of Healthy Gut, Healthy You Over two thousand years ago, Hippocrates said that all disease begins in the gut.

You can get the knowledge of an antifungal protocol off the internet but the wisdom for how to properly apply it is accrued after years and years of diligent studying and reflection." - @DrRuscio http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "The two main functions of the gut are digestion and the absorption of nutrients but it's also an immensely dense immune barrier. If inflammation is the instrument of the immune system, then we can connect these dots and conclude that one of the key sources of either immune to inflammatory conditions can be emanating from imbalances in the gut. This isn't just a far-reaching inference; we do know that the highest density of immune cells is contained in the small intestine." - Dr. Michael Ruscio "Within the rules of a Paleo or low FODMAP diet, you don't have to be 100% compliant with your diet. I expect people to miss a few meals. There might be a social function or a work event and you can have a drink or some not planned food. Do the best you can with what you have available to you but a few misses will not be the make or break between success and failure." - Dr. Michael Ruscio "When did becoming healthy and becoming a hypochondriac become synonymous with one another? They really shouldn't be. The whole point of becoming healthier is so that you're more resilient and you can enjoy occasional treats from time to time. If I want ice cream, I can have an ice cream because I've built up a robust enough level of health including gut health to allow me to have those indulgences." - Dr. Michael Ruscio   Links From Today's Show Dr. Michael Ruscio Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Google+ Pinterest WFR 119 Dr. Michael Ruscio - The Orthorexia Connection Healthy Gut, Healthy You by Dr. Michael Ruscio Dr. Ruscio Radio Podcast Mapping Your Microbiota – Health Miracle or Hyperbole, with Professor Rob Knight Dr. Ruscio's Great-In-8 Action Plan InsideTracker 23andMe WellnessFX NOW Super Enzyme Tablets Re-challenge Studies in Non-celiac Gluten Sensitivity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Do You Really Want a Hunter-Gatherer Microbiota?

One of the most beautiful things about life is that you get to choose your sacrifices." - @ConnerWanders ‏ http://bit.ly/wfpodcast   "Patterns and biases in your behavior and decision making may seem like they’re limiting you, but they were created at some point in your life to serve you. Those behaviors gave you safety and giving them gratitude will set you free. You can choose to let go of things but you can't just throw them away; you have to tell them 'thank you' for serving you but you no longer need them." - Conner Moore "Broaden the boundaries of your experience and how you bring yourself into this world. Allow yourself to take more in and create more context so that you will have more information to draw and express yourself from. We're patterned to be a certain way and there are things right in front of our faces that we can't see that create these false boundaries about how we see life. If you can take yourself a little bit less seriously, withhold judgment for a little while, have some compassion for yourself, and then get curious, you will be able to explore more and more until you discover what you don't like and what you absolutely love that you didn't even know existed before." - Conner Moore "Be open and receptive to the kindness of people. Treat every human interaction like a human interaction and have the intention inside of you to really connect with people. When you're clear with what you're bringing to the world, it's going to attract people who also resonate with that. That's the natural  progression of creating a tribe." - Conner Moore   Links From Today's Show Conner Moore Facebook LinkedIn Instagram Twitter The Realness Media YouTube The Realness Community The Realness Podcast The Ego and Ayahuasca with Josh Trent from Wellness Force Episode 37: Choose Yourself with Caitlyn Howe The Lifestyle Design Program Realness Retreat Kirsten Asher of FEM Method Mind Tribes Alan Watts WFR 196 Aubrey Marcus WFR 199 Peter Crone WFR 086 Mark Divine About Conner Moore   Conner Moore is the Founder of The Realness Media.

It's important to really be conscious about how you want to approach your meals. You can look at it being reactive vs. proactive. Do you want to wait until 5 o'clock and scramble to figure something out last minute or do you want to take a step back and be more thoughtful about planning your meals in advance? If I want to take things to the next level, for me that means doing some work up front with batch cooking.

Choose a consistent day and time each week for when you can do your meal prep. Even if you just chop vegetables in advance, it really makes life easier and makes you more likely to include vegetables with each meal if they're already prepared ahead of time." - Allison Schaaf "Going to a grocery store with a list is key because that's where so much time is wasted during the week. If you have to take an extra trip to the grocery store, your losing time. There are a lot more options now to make grocery shopping more efficient such as grocery delivery or online shopping. Plus, ordering online will helping meal prepping so much easier by planning in advance. At Prep Dish, we're also thinking of different ways of making that grocery experience super efficient but it all starts with making a list." - Allison Schaaf "People jump into batch cooking thinking they have to do it, want to do it, or need to do it but can't find the time to actually do it. So, you first have to believe in the idea that this is going to help save you time later on, this is why I want to do it, and this is why it's important to me instead of thinking of it as something that you should do. Stop seeing it as something you should be doing and think of it as something you want to be doing." - Allison Schaaf "Having a meal prepared in advance that includes the core pieces of vegetables, protein, and healthy fats will help you avoid eating an unhealthy meal when you're stressed.

Power Quotes From The Show [tweetthis]"You don't bring the ego down. You bring your true self up and then the ego becomes less important. Acknowledge and identify with who you really are beyond the ego. Identify as that force of love as life itself." - @AubreyMarcus http://bit.ly/wfpodcast[/tweetthis] "We think there's a type of person that we're supposed to be and we have to 'slay all day' in order to get to the top. We have this idea of what it takes to be a man. So, we're always looking for something or someway to validate ourselves rather than to enjoy the experience. That's where you really run into a lot of trouble in any variety of ways and not just in the bedroom. You might also try to validate yourself in the gym, with your bank account, or a million other ways. The truth of the matter is that we're already valid." - Aubrey Marcus "The more you cling onto something, the more exhausting this entire life process becomes. We're meant to thrive. Our baseline is connection, enjoyment, love, physicality and all of these things that we were born with." - Josh Trent "There's a certain humility in expressing yourself to the fullest that people don't really look at. Sometimes we put on these airs and we don't really own our success which we call 'humility,' but it's actually more humble to just be authentic. Just be radically authentic. Express yourself when you mess things up, when you've killed it, and let the public opinion go whichever way they want. As long as you're genuinely authentic, you're not adding more to the negative or the positive and people will be able to identify with you and be able to support you in a much better way." - Aubrey Marcus "The only way to get out of this pattern of punishing yourself for your past transgressions is to radically forgive the past. Recognize that you're just human and if you could've done better, you would've done better. But you didn't have the right information and you weren't the type of person that you are today. You didn't have the training, knowledge, or experience. So, forgive that past person and stop punishing yourself for it. That way, you can actually apply self-love to yourself and open yourself back up to love and abundance from the universe instead of relentlessly punishing yourself for everything that you've done in the past." - Aubrey Marcus "You don't bring the ego down. You bring your true self up. You bring who you really are up and then the ego becomes less important. Acknowledge and identify with who you really are beyond the ego. Identify as that force of love as life itself. Express that force of presence and consciousness. Identify as that and allow the ego to just be along for the ride instead of identifying as the ego and then bringing your consciousness along for the unconscious ride that your ego is taking it on. You'll find it in the stillness and when you quiet your mind."  - Aubrey Marcus Links From Today's Show  Aubrey Marcus Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube LinkedIn Own The Day, Own Your Life by Aubrey Marcus Onnit Aubrey Marcus Podcast Today Is A Good Day To Die with Dr. Dan Engle - AMP #52 Go For Your Win Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Napoleon Hill You Are the Placebo by Dr. Joe Dispenza Mooji Baba Paul Selig Power vs. Force by David R.

Not fitting in is actually how you live the extraordinary life. The fear of not fitting in is what makes us mediocre. People who are famous or have done something great in the world are not like everybody else. They do not fit in.

How you can close the gap between knowing and doing. His experience with plant medicine and Ayahuasca and why it was the most life-changing experience of his life. The process of taking Ayahuasca and what you can expect from it. Why the only things that you can control are your thoughts and actions. Power Quotes From The Show [tweetthis]"The way that somebody treats you is very rarely ever based on how you treat them. It's usually just a projection onto you about how they actually feel about themselves." - @robdial http://bit.ly/wfpodcast[/tweetthis] "I don't know how I was so intuitive when my father passed away. At that young age, I wasn't a Tony Robbins or a positive person and my childhood wasn't the greatest. Looking back, everything was really horrible at that point in my life and I knew that I could either choose to let my father's death affect me in a negative way or a positive way. It really took about four years for that to truly manifest within me. Because of that experience, by the time I graduated from high school, I felt that there was so much more that I could give to the world. " - Rob Dial "Most people don't find meditation hard because they cannot turn their brain off. Meditation is hard for people because they're afraid of what they're going to find. We put all of our surface level problems and issues like traffic and co-workers in front of ourselves because we're trying to hide from the things that we're really afraid of. These are the issues that we have, the problems we've created, or what we don't like about ourselves." - Rob Dial "People fight the truth about who they are because where they are now is already comfortable. Where we are right now is like the cave of a caveman. It's safe here and we don't want to walk out at night because we can't see and there's a physical fear that there could be a lion that could kill us. However, in today's present moment, we don't have to worry about those types of fears, but that part of our brain still exists as the amygdala. So, instead of the lion, we have all these other fears that we put in front of ourselves to hide from everything else. Your modern day cave is your comfort zone and the amygdala is not smart enough to know that if you leave your comfort zone, you're not going to die. Consciously, we already know that, but our amygdala doesn't." - Rob Dial "The only way to combat uncertainty is to try to control everything. However, the only thing that I can control is myself. I can't control any external circumstances. We so badly want to control other people, the traffic, the weather, and every other aspect, but we cannot control anything except for the way we think and what we do. Nothing else is under our control and that's it." - Rob Dial "A lot of people aren't afraid of failure; what they're afraid of is success. We have this fear yet there is this greater self that is inside of us. We need to stop being afraid, sit down, and actually say, 'Okay, I'm going to try and understand what my best self-looks like and then I'm going to try to become that every single day." - Rob Dial Links From Today's Show  Rob Dial Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn MWF Motivation Podcast The One Small Thing That Will Massively Change Your Life Hack Your Goals by Rob Dial and Dean DeVries Stop Fitting In!

Most of us don't breathe correctly and actually many of us breathe at just 20% of our capacity. Oxygen is our number one energy source and it's what drives every cell. If we're not filling our bodies with the maximum amount of oxygen that it can use, then we're basically only giving our bodies enough oxygen to simply get by in the day. That's why people are chronically fatigued or feel like life is such a chore. They find everything so hard to do because we're leaving 80% of the potential energy that we could be running our lives with on the table. - Christian Minson JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE When was the last time you truly focused on your breath?   On Wellness Force Radio 187, International Speaker, Best-Selling Contributing Author, Trainer, Coach, Founder of Breathflow Wellness, and Leader of the Breathwork Program at the Rythmia, Christian Minson, shares what you'll experience once you focus on proper transformational breathwork, how breathing will help you with your biggest stress triggers, and why the relationship you have with yourself is more important than any other.

How breathwork can help you make a difficult decision and discover the relative truth to your authentic self. Power Quotes From The Show "The whole purpose of life is our own evolution and self-realization. The way to get there is by developing a direct relationship to our spirit and the way to do that is through techniques of meditation such as breath manipulation." - @BreathFlow http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "Breathing keeps us alive and that's a pretty fundamental reason for us to breathe. I think it's such an important reason to breathe, but that's where people stop and go, 'Okay, breath equals life. Breath is what keeps us alive so that's the purpose of our breathing.' But then we discount the idea that there's the possibility for any more reason other than that. However, if you really start working with the breath and working with oxygenating the body and actually bringing more lifeforce into your being, it's not only sustaining your life, but it elevates and evolves your life too." - Christian Minson "As monks, we were doing modified forms of breathing without really focusing on the breath. So one of the liabilities of that lifestyle was that we kind of discounted our physical being in pursuit of our spiritual dimension. What I love about breathwork is that not only does it reinforce that we are spiritual beings, but that we are actually physical beings too. Therefore, breath and movement work together in harmony. As spiritual beings having a physical experience, there's a route back to our spirit, but there has to be a physical gateway into that and that is the breath." - Christian Minson "Despite the fact that breath is a foundational tool to our whole evolution, still very few people actually know about it. So, people come to Rythmia primarily for the plant medicine and to have this experience. More people know or understand plant medicine much more than they know about breath. So to hold plant medicine and breath in such equal esteem and have people experience both, our guests get to experience and learn about the benefits of breathwork firsthand." - Christian Minson "Both breathwork and plant medicine are tools that open the doors of our consciousness. The difference is that the breath opens that door gently and invites you in. The plant medicine opens that door and pulls you in and won't let you out till it wants you out." - Christian Minson Links From Today's Show   Rythmia Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Christian Minson Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Breathflow Wellness The Reality of Truth The 5 Habits of Highly Spiritual People Developing Your Intuition to Improve Your Life and Decision Making John Gray Good genes are nice, but joy is better Be Here Now by Ram Dass Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda Use Breathwork Techniques to Boost Your Mental State Breathwork for Clearing Trauma from the Body Breathwork - GoodTherapy.org WFR 137 Dr. Tim Brown WFR 149 Johnny Blackburn [spacer height="20px" id="2"] About Christian Minson Christian Minson is an International Speaker, Best-Selling Contributing Author, Trainer, Coach, and Founder of Breathflow Wellness, a transformational holistic health business. ​ A former Monk for 10 years, now he helps others achieve greater spiritual and emotional intelligence by integrating trauma, releasing limiting habits, managing emotions, and teaching others to find meaning in their own lives and work.

We spend 93% of our time under artificial light; that's probably not a good thing, right? When we look at our ancestors who spent all their time outside, it makes sense that artificial light isn't healthy for us. So, the first thing you should do isn't' go buy a product like ours. Instead, go outside and get more natural sunlight; become more aware of how natural light is good for your body. Even if you're outside for just 5-10 minutes, you'll notice a difference in how you feel. If you don't notice it, then maybe you should invest in a light therapy device. - Scott Nelson  JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE How can light therapy bring so many wonderful benefits to your overall health and wellness?

What's the time limit for using Joovv per light therapy session? How close can you be to the device? Power Quotes From The Show "At its core, photobiomodulation is photons of light or certain wavelengths of light and studying how our bodies metabolize them and the different physiological inner workings of how we digest and metabolize light. Light is food. Photobiomodulation essentially allows your cells to do what they're supposed to be doing but at a heightened level. " - Scott Nelson "These specific wavelengths of light are helping our cells produce more energy. That's why photobiomodulation has such a long list of benefits. It's so extensive that it almost sounds too good to be true, but all of these benefits like skin health, muscle recovery, joint pain relief, cognitive function and more are all supported by peer-reviewed clinical literature." - Scott Nelson  "When people are researching about skin health, they might have this vanity concern. Even though this vanity concern exists, photobiomodulation is really more of a longevity and cellular health tool. If you chase the healthy behaviors and you actually do the things that fill you up from a physical and emotional space, the vanity concerns will be a by-product. However, if you only chase the vanity, your results are going to be limited." - Josh Trent   "At Joovv, we fundamentally believe that everybody should be getting more sunlight. Something like our device is a great hack, but everybody should be getting more natural sunlight. Unfortunately, it's just something that's harder to do in a climate like Minnesota's or the upper Midwest in general." - Scott Nelson  Links From Today's Show Scott Nelson LinkedIn Joovv Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Pinterest Medsider Radio Ben Greenfield on Joovv in Men's Health How To Triple Your Testosterone Production With Red Light How Does RED LIGHT Impact Arthritis & Joint Pain?

Being vulnerable simply means admitting that you have challenges too. There's a difference between airing your dirty laundry and sharing some vulnerability. When you share vulnerability, there is a purpose of connecting and a solution-oriented talk rather than just complaining and feeling bad about yourself. If you're going on about how much you suck and how everything in your life is falling apart, there's no point in continuing on like this. You have to find a solution and make things different in your life. - Alissa Daire Nelson JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE Ready to discover what sets you apart from everyone else and discover your true strengths?

But you have no frickin’ clue how to get there. Fortunately, these things are true: Everyone is uniquely wired for their own success. You are enough. Success is unreachable only if you allow yourself to get in your way. We all too often focus on fixing our weaknesses—on becoming a Jack (or Jill) of all Trades.

Are you ready to discover the 4 things that make you so unique? Listen To Episode 181 As Alissa Daire Nelson Uncovers: How she came to specialize as a Strengths Finder after the method helped her through her own struggle with negative thoughts and emotions. What a psychosomatic test is and why it's a reliable method to help you learn what your strengths are and how to develop them. Why she believes that we're all here for a reason, but doesn't believe that things happen for a reason. The vital importance of moving forward positively when something negative happens. The most difficult moment she's ever experienced in her life and how that forced her to take a closer look at herself. What mom guilt is and why many female entrepreneurs are experiencing it. Why she doesn't believe in the theory of work-life balance, but work-life harmony. Why the lesson you have to face will be taught to you at the right moment when you need it the most. How to enjoy the journey while on your way to being healthy or accomplishing another goal. Her own definitions of true vulnerability, authenticity, and honesty. Why it's okay that you're not everything because you're still awesome no matter what. How to show up with the best parts of you by being real and authentic with others. Why you automatically connect with other people when you become vulnerable and share your challenges with them. The 34 strength themes that exist and how you can use them to help you grow your emotional and vulnerability skill set. How to tap into your various strengths whenever you need them. The first steps you can take to become more vulnerable and open with other people in person; not on social media. The SFD Tactic - Your Shitty First Draft and how to rewrite the false stories you're telling yourself in order to uncover the truth about yourself and other people. The power of getting curious about other people instead of judging them to have a better understanding of where they're coming from. Why you have the potential to become great by being the best version of yourself. Power Quotes From The Show "Before I realized what my strengths were, I was always wondering what was wrong me and I was so good at emotionally beating myself up. I was going through a divorce when I found the book, Strengths Finder, which included a psychometric test. That book helped me to see that I did have potential and taught me how to use my strengths to unleash it. Knowing you're great is one thing, but then understanding how to leverage your strengths and apply them to your life is a whole other thing." - Alissa Daire Nelson "We have such a large capacity with this soul, body, and mind connection. I firmly believe that none of us are here as an accident. However, I don't believe that everything happens for a reason. God, a divine power, or whatever you believe in didn't have time to make junk. So, that means that there is something redeeming and amazing about you. I believe part of our journey is to figure out what that thing is and how we get to contribute to our world." - Alissa Daire Nelson "No matter how horrific or wonderful a situation is, you can use that for the betterment of your own life and the lives of other people. Great things can come from every situation, but you have to choose it. You may become the victim of a situation; however, you don't have to remain a victim for the rest of your life. A bad situation wasn't your fault, but it's your responsibility to move forward." - Alissa Daire Nelson "When you're ready to learn the lesson, the teacher will appear. So, you have to be ready for that lesson and be able to face it. Even if you're sort of feeling like a coward because you're so afraid, that can be what moves you forward along this journey to do something magnificent and different. You can start off easy; learning the lesson isn't a race. It's not about the end goal, but about the journey and what you experience from it." - Alissa Daire Nelson "Everybody is capable of greatness, but who's willing to do the work to get there? Greatness is there for the taking for every single one of us. Instead of trying to do something else, why don't you do something that you're great at? We have the potential to become better versions of ourselves every single day.

50% of our calories should be coming from fruits and vegetables. So, tell me why we use our land to produce less than 5% of fruits and vegetables in the United States? It's because it's 95% profit for big brands. Rather than growing the food here, they import food from cheap labor countries, but all that food has been sprayed a tremendous amount of chemical. As a customer, you're not saving  money with their method anyway; you're going to spend money later on a kidney dialysis, a heart transplant, on diazepam or whatever hundred drugs pharmaceutical companies are going to shove down your throat. - Josh Tickell JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE How can healing ourselves through growing and eating more natural, nutritious foods also help heal the environment? On Wellness Force Radio 179, Film Director and Producer of documentaries such as FUEL and the upcoming Kiss The Ground film with Big Picture Ranch, Author of the book, Kiss the Ground, and Blogger of The Veggie Van Voyage, Josh Tickell joins us to share how we can reverse the effects of CO2 in the air by making changes on both a micro and macro level with our soil. From composting to voting with your wallet, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to improve your carbon footprint on this planet. Kiss the Ground     Josh Tickell, one of America’s most celebrated documentary filmmakers and director of Fuel, has dedicated most of his life to saving the environment. Now, in Kiss the Ground, he explains an incredible truth: by changing our diets to a soil-nourishing, regenerative agriculture diet, we can reverse global warming, harvest healthy, abundant food, and eliminate the poisonous substances that are harming our children, pets, bodies, and ultimately our planet. Through fascinating and accessible interviews with celebrity chefs, ranchers, farmers, and top scientists, this remarkable book, soon to be a full-length documentary film narrated by Woody Harrelson, will teach you how to become an agent in humanity’s single most important and time-sensitive mission. Reverse climate change and effectively save the world—all through the choices you make in how and what to eat.   Listen To Episode 179 As Josh Tickell Uncovers: His experience working on organic farms as a WWOOfer. Where he got the idea of using a natural source instead of gas to fuel his van for the Veggie Van Voyage. What it was like to live next to an oil field growing up and the illness that his family was experiencing from all of the pollution.  The large number of cancer cases in Louisiana because of the oil production and witnessing his family members dying prematurely. His process of writing the book, Kiss the Ground, and what information is included in it. The reality of what the world looks like now as far as available land and fresh water. Why there's so much carbon dioxide in the air rather than in the ground and how we can reverse it. Why we don't look at measuring the environment by Parts per Million (PPM) anymore, but by gigatons or the measurement of mass. The problem with modern farming including pesticides, bees dying off, and the degradation of our soil. The fact that our agriculture industry got its start from the technology and science that came out of WW1. Why the health of the soil and our natural environment is so important for our own wellness. A basic test to see whether or not the soil in your city is healthy or not. How we can both heal ourselves and the soil on macro and micro levels. Why biology is the real answer to sustaining human life as the population continues to grow. The importance of composting and how people who live in big cities, apartments, or don't have much space can participate with vermicomposting. How we can be more proactive with growing our vegetables and restoring the soil on our properties. How the changes we make to help the soil can lead to improving the climate overall and restoring the ecosystem. Why we have the power in our own communities to get rid of pesticides usage. The fact that glyphosate is everywhere - in water, in the food, and in our bodies. Organic vs. Regenerative foods and what new food policies we could put in place. Power Quotes From The Show   "The new conversation is not about solar panels and wind; those things are happening, but they need to happen faster and we need more of that kind of green technology. The new conversation needs to focus on the fact that we have a 2,000 gigaton mass of carbon floating in the atmosphere. Where are we going to put that? It has to go somewhere." - Josh Tickell "We're basically dirt on legs. Roughly 50% of our cells are not human cells, but microbial cells and the same microbes that also live in soil. A handful of healthy soil has more living organisms than all humans who have ever lived." - Josh Tickell "If you are experiencing problems, one of the first things that this new wave of medical science will tell you is to increase your gut bacteria. So, how do you do that? The real gut bacteria actually comes from the soil. If that good gut bacteria is not in the soil, then it's not in your food and if it's not in your food, then it's not going in your gut." - Josh Tickell "Every time you eat, you make a political decision. So, we vote 3 times a day and what we're voting for is an entire system. This is a chain reaction that begins with a calorie that we consume, but it ends with a farmer or a rancher and a plant or an animal. If that plant or animal is building soil, then you're voting for a future of plenty of food for all people." - Josh Tickell "Food is politics Food is power. Food is activism. Food is life. Food is medicine. Food is nutrition. Food is reversing global warming. Food is your access right now. You go into a grocery store and you have access to buy all that food!" - Josh Tickell Links From Today's Show The Compost Story by Kiss The Ground Josh Tickell Facebook Twitter YouTube Kiss The Ground Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Big Picture Ranch Facebook Twitter YouTube Kiss The Ground by Josh Tickell The Soil Story by Kiss The Ground The Compost Story by Kiss The Ground How to Compost at Home WWOOF -Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms What is Organics? by Paul Chek Vegetarianism Inside & Out by Paul Chek Joel Salatin: Polyface Farms The Two Secrets to Weight Loss The Nobody Knows by Josh Tickell Hell's Cartel by Diarmuid Jeffreys Paul Hawken's Project Drawdown Harvard's Healthy Eating Plate & Healthy Eating Pyramid WFR 167 Michelle Norris WFR 121 Dr. David Minkoff About Josh Tickell According to Inc Magazine, Josh Tickell is "America’s #1 Strategist" for Connecting with the Millennial Generation (a.k.a. “Generation Y”). He is also a film director who specializes in movies geared toward Millennials.  Tickell grew up in Louisiana where he lived next to waterways polluted by petroleum refineries. In 1997 he captured national attention by driving a van powered by used French Fry oil across the United States. “The Veggie Van” as it was called was a viral sensation. Only four years after the first web browser was introduced (and AOL was still a novelty), Tickell’s FUEL won the Sundance Audience Award for Best Documentary and was released theatrically in the United States. FUEL became a global sensation gaining millions of viewers on Netflix, iTunes, Hulu and CNBC, Russia TV, TeleSur and beyond. The movie was screened in the White House for energy and environment staff working in the Obama Administration and was shortlisted for an Oscar. Josh Tickell directed the Cannes Film Festival movie, The Big Fix (2011). The film explores the corporate and political malfeasance that led to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. His third film, Freedom (2011), focuses on alcohol fuel and aired on the SuperChannel in Canada. His latest documentary PUMP (2014) exposes a conspiracy to block fuel choice at the gas pump and is being theatrically released by Submarine Entertainment. He is currently in production on Good Fortune (2015), The Official Biography of John Paul DeJoria, Co-Founder of Patrón Tequila and Paul Mitchell Systems. Today Tickell spends much of his time working for companies on strategies that engage members of the millennial generation. He achieves breakthrough results by modifying internal and external corporate practices to meet the desires and needs of Generation Y. By combining aspects of Corporate Social Value, Participation, Emotional Response and Product Design and Functionality, Tickell provides a wide variety of organizations with unprecedented success in connecting with members of Generation Y.

Power Quotes From The Show "There's always going to be work to do in a relationship, but you get to choose who you want to do it with. You and your partner have to learn how to be in conflict together. So, if doing that work and being in conflict together always brings out the worst in both of you, that tells you something about your relationship." - Amy Baglan "I've always had this desire that people show up as their authentic self rather than put on a front or be superficial. I can't connect with others when they're not being true about themselves." - Amy Baglan "I always urge people to look at how a potential partner acts and not pay attention to what they say. The way that people show up in the world, their behavior, and how they treat other people including yourself cannot be filtered by words." - Amy Baglan "Dating apps are almost like a trigger happy, fast food style atmosphere where there's almost too many options and choices. This is teaching younger generations that this is all there is. They learn that people can be disposable and that the quantity of connections over quality is better." - Amy Baglan "If all a person does is share pictures of selfies on a dating app and they only care about what their body looks like, then they probably don't value anything else about themselves. If that's the case, then I certainly don't think they're going to value much else about myself either." - Amy Baglan Links From Today's Show: MeetMindful Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Amy Baglan: LinkedIn Twitter Amy Baglan - Mindful Dating on the Untangle Podcast Mindful Dating is Now a Thing - And This Buzzy New App is Here to Prove It 5 Rules for Mindful Dating & Relationship-Intention Setting this Holiday Season by Amy Baglan Variable Rewards: Want To Hook Users?

Your relationship with fear is the most important one in your life because it's also a mirror of the relationship you have in your core. - Kristen Ulmer Instead of stopping your fears in their tracks, what if you tried to understand them better? JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST 20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE We can all relate to pushing back the feelings of fear and anxiety that like to resurface from time to time. For those who suffer from chronic anxiety, it may seem impossible to get through a single day without negative emotions controlling every moment. What would happen if you didn't prevent yourself from feeling your negative emotions, but embraced them instead? What kind of relationship could you have yourself by trying to understand your anxious thoughts? On Wellness Force Radio 151, former US Ski Team athlete turned Thought Leader on Fear, Zen Therapist, and author of The Art of Fear, Kristen Ulmer, takes you on a journey of getting to know yourself better by building a relationship with fear. After seeking assistance to help tackle her own worries and anxieties with a Zen Master, Kristen developed the highly effective teaching tool, Shift: The Game of 10,000 Wisdoms. Since becoming a Zen Therapist, she has helped many people who have insomnia, PTSD, panic attacks, depression, excessive anger, indecisiveness, and more. Discover who you are by allowing yourself the permission to feel and truly understand both fear and anxiety in just four easy steps. By the end of this episode, you will know how to approach and embrace your negative emotions.   The Art of Fear by Kristen Ulmer A revolutionary guide to acknowledging fear and developing the tools we need to build a healthy relationship with this confusing emotion—and use it as a positive force in our lives. We all feel fear. Yet we are often taught to ignore it, overcome it, push past it. But to what benefit?  This is the essential question that guides Kristen Ulmer’s remarkable exploration of our most misunderstood emotion in The Art of Fear. Influenced by Ulmer’s own complicated relationship with fear and her over 15 years as a mindset facilitator, The Art of Fear will reconstruct the way we react to and experience fear—empowering us to easily and permanently address the underlying cause of our fear-based problems, and setting us on course to live a happier, more expansive future. Listen To Episode 151 As Kristen Ulmer Uncovers: How we can #ShiftIntoFear and why we should uncover the underlying causes of fear. What services, events, and programs she offers to people with chronic fears and anxiety. How decision fatigue is a tough obstacle to overcome when we have to make daily choices.

Why she repressed her own fears for so long and when she knew that she had to do something about them. What she learned about fear and herself by working with a Zen Master. Why we should honor our emotions of fear  and anxiety in order to improve our relationship with them. How you can give yourself permission to feel your fear and other emotions with just 4 Steps. Deal with fear by finding the sensation of discomfort in your body. Be curious of where you feel it. Acknowledge that it's perfectly normal to experience discomfort in life. Take time feeling the fear, but don't try to get rid of it. Be curious again about fear's message for you. Why fear is here to serve you in order to help you become more present and focused. What she is doing to help professional athletes overcome their fear so that they can perform at their best. How can we feel more alive? What can we do to get in touch with ourselves amidst our current society? What lead her to becoming this model of a fearless person and the consequences of her being so tense. How she realized that she was experiencing adrenal fatigue and what she did to overcome it. Why she loved feeling the fear when she was a skiier, yet she regularly repressed it. How experiencing and feeling anxiety and fear will actually help us grow. Power Quotes From The Show   "Many professionals are advising us to stay away from fear, but I do the exact opposite. You think that all these modalities, therapies, and medications would be helping us to conquer our fears and anxieties, but they're only getting worse and worse. The treatment for dealing with excessive fear and anxiety is actually exasperating the underlying causes." - Kristen Ulmer "We should honor our fear in order to improve our relationship with it. It just wants to be heard. Instead of spending so much time thinking about our fear, what if we focused on feeling our fear? Emotions are meant to be dealt with emotionally, not intellectually." - Kristen Ulmer "How we treat fear is exactly how we treat ourselves. If we're embarrassed by fear, then we're embarrassed by ourselves. If we hate our fear, we hate ourselves." -Kristen Ulmer Links From Today's Show: Kristen Ulmer Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube The Art of Fear Kristen Ulmer on Making Friends with Fear - Life is Beautiful Festival 2015 Work with Kristen The Art of Fear and Skiing Events Kristen Ulmer Talks About Fear and Skiing Freedom From Excessive Fear and Anxiety Ski to Live Fear Specialist Kristen Ulmer Makes Suggestion on How to Live Your Live with Fear How Fear Influences Athletes - and What You Can Do to Have a Healthy Relationship with It 2017 U.S. Spartan Race David Deida The Hendricks Institute Fear Melters Animation WFR #055 Gay and Katie Hendricks About Kristen Ulmer Kristen is thought leader, master facilitator and fear specialist who radically challenges existing norms around the subject of this deeply misunderstood emotion. Starting out as a mogul specialist on the US Ski team, Kristen more notoriously became recognized as being the best female big mountain extreme skier in the world, a status she kept for 12 years. Known for enormous cliff jumps and you-fall-you die descents, she became sponsored by the likes of Red Bull, Ralph Lauren, and Nikon. Her mastery of other danger sports including paragliding, ice and rock climbing, kiteboarding, adventure mountain biking, and flying trapeze also gained her the outdoor industry vote as most extreme woman athlete in North America, beating all danger-sports stars, not just skiers. Retired as an athlete since 2003, she then spent the next 15 years going to the next level — studying intently with a Zen Master, which led to facilitating thousands of clients, addressing numerous subjects such as the mindset of optimal sports performance, flow states, whole mind thinking, how to embrace change, emotional intelligence and more. She developed a highly effective teaching tool called Shift: The Game of 10,000 Wisdoms. This is a facilitated dialog which helps groups or individuals access the resources of their own minds to solve problems in a matter of hours that would otherwise take decades of therapy to achieve. Her revolutionary work has been featured in such media as NPR, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Forbes, USA Today, Outside Magazine, Sports Illustrated and many more. Kristen’s transition to thought leader on Fear came in 2012, the day she realized that most of her client’s problems –such as underperforming, insomnia, PTSD, panic attacks, excessive anxiety, depression, excessive anger, excessive fear, indecisiveness and more, were quickly and permanently resolved once she helped them address their avoidance of fear.
