A person's first name can have a profound impact on their life. This episode begins as I describe how people instantly get preconceived ideas about you based solely on your name – some good ideas and some not so good. It seems your name can shape who you are for the rest of your life. https://www.theifod.com/how-does-your-name-shape-who-you-are/ Some people can just walk into a room and exude charisma. I am sure you have seen it happen. People are attracted to charismatic people. But it is sometimes hard to figure exactly what makes someone charismatic. Listen as my guest Vanessa Van Edwards, reveals the ingredients of charisma and explains how anyone can express more of that quality that people find so attractive. Vanessa is founder and lead investigator at Science of People (https://www.scienceofpeople.com), she is a sought after speaker and author of the book Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication (https://amzn.to/3vFoLZ0). What science has discovered about genetics and DNA in just the last few decades is amazing. Remember it wasn't all that long ago when we started using fingerprints as a crime solving tool. Today DNA evidence is helping to solve decades-old cold case crimes with incredible accuracy. Plus, we now know so much about our genetics and how it all relates to our health. Joining me to discuss this is Dr. Joshua Rappoport. Joshua is a cellular biology expert who teaches at Boston College and is author of the book Mapping Humanity: How Modern Genetics is Changing Criminal Justice, Personal Medicine and Our Identities (https://amzn.to/35RY6wT). Could it be that shopping actually has health benefits? Listen as I describe one study that equates shopping with physical exercise. Plus, it also seems to offer emotional benefits as well – depending on how you shop. https://business.time.com/2013/04/16/is-retail-therapy-for-real-5-ways-shopping-is-actually-good-for-you/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

Ever wonder how listening to your intuition can change your life? Dr. Neha Sangwan, CEO and founder of Intuitive Intelligence, is an international speaker, author, and corporate communication expert who truly believes in the power of intuition. She brings her unique blend of engineering, internal medicine, and executive coaching to this intriguing conversation, revealing how she guides leaders and their teams to confront the root cause of stress, miscommunication, and interpersonal conflict. With her private practice merging physical and mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health, Dr. Sangwan underlines the importance of active listening and being present as keys to building human connection and fostering self-trust.Sometimes, the answers to the most complex questions lie within us. Dr. Sangwan introduces us to her pioneering “Awareness Prescription” - a set of five questions that help uncover the true root of our stress, going beyond physical symptoms. By encouraging us to tap into our inherent wisdom, Dr. Sangwan shows us how intuition and attentiveness to our bodies can lead to profound self-discoveries, much like the innate wisdom of children. As we navigate the complexities of stepping outside traditional medical systems and trusting our intuition, our conversation with Dr. Sangwan illuminates the path.In the final leg of our journey with Dr. Sangwan, we delve into the art of maintaining a connection with oneself and one's vision. Embracing the unknown becomes less daunting as Dr. Sangwan emphasizes the importance of trusting oneself and one's intuition when making decisions. Together, we explore the transformative power of data and technology, and how they can help us shape our destiny. This conversation with Dr. Sangwan is a powerful reminder that we are all creators, capable of crafting our own narrative. Join us for this enlightening chat with a pioneer of self-awareness, intuition, and medicine.Dr. Neha can be found herehttps://nehasangwan.com/about/Kim: https://www.kimduffselby.com/

The queer, liminal, and shamanic all point in their own ways to working fruitfully with 'betweens' and 'crossings,' and yet the possible relations between these worlds and their sensibilities are seldom discussed in the liminal / metamodern communities. Layman sits down with Rachel Hayden to explore these overlaps and to consider what might follow from their more conscious integration. Rachel tends to fret about what to write on a bio. Fortunately, her Personal Medicine of doing tai chi to become calmer is helping her at the moment. She has long been fascinated with mind-body practices, and uses many of these regularly - tai chi, Eastern and Western meditation and philosophy, and karate, to name a few. These have gotten her through some rough patches, kept her generally healthy, and pointed her toward greater insight and meaning. One of her other favorite things is music - listening, playing guitar, singing, and writing songs. Three years ago Rachel switched from being primarily a bodywork therapist and co-op grocery manager to being primarily a peer supporter. It has become part of who she is, and is probably the job she has loved the most, being with people through life's ups and downs. Being a queer trans woman herself, she often works with LGBTQIA+ people and others who are marginalized by society. Rachel became a CPMC to deepen and expand her approach to peer support, and help people find connections to their inner wisdom. She has a profound faith in authentic Personal Medicine, having realized its power in her own life.

In this episode, herbalists Ashley Elenbaas and Holly Hildebrandt share their personal experiences working with nettles. From breakthroughs around boundaries to clearing eczema and allergies, you will learn many ways to utilize this powerful plant medicine.

Today I am sharing my personal reflections after taking Lemon Balm, Melissa officinalis,  for one month as part of a plant dieta experience. I have used Lemon Balm for over 20 years. However, I learned so much more about this plant's nuances over this month and through the shared experiences of my students from the Roots and Spheres course. Some of the themes of Lemon Balm were a sense of calm amidst chaos, restraint in anxiety, bee symbolism, and many circumstances where I was able to feel into the moment rather than overreact. I hope you find this video helpful, and if you struggle with anxiety, try Lemon Balm! To learn more about Lemon Balm, watch my Herb of the Month Spotlight Video on Lemon Balm here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hnk9RBtpMig To read research on Limonene and mood regulation, click here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33548867/#:~:text=Abstract,different%20parts%20of%20the%20brain.

Damiana, Turnera diffusa, is a shrubby plant native to Mexico known for its aphrodisiac properties. In this episode, clinical herbalist, Ashley Elenbaas, will share her experience dieting this plant for 28 days, or a full moon cycle. The theme that played out in her experience of Damiana was a reframing of pleasure. Ashley shares how her childhood understanding of pleasure informed her ability to experience joy as an adult. Through the course of 4 weeks, Ashley shares how each week highlighted an aspect of the pleasure and slowly opened the doorway into a more mature and integrated experience of pleasure itself.

The Global Wellness Summit (GWS) was launched in 2007 and modeled after the World Economic Forum. Since then it has grown to be the most influential meeting between titans of the wellness industry. Its non-profit research arm, the Global Wellness Institute (GWI) was launched in 2015. Neither organization would exist without the dedication and vision of this week's guest. Today we're talking to the co-founder, chair, and CEO of both GWS and GWI—sometimes called the Godmother of Wellness. During our conversation, you'll hear the living history of a global movement explained and find out details of Susie's incredible journey to becoming one of the most prominent voices in the world of wellness. She also details not only how her organizations were the first to identify and quantify the Global Wellness Economy and how you can access all of the free wellness resources that have resulted from the work spearheaded by Susie and her team of collaborators. When Susie started her career, there wasn't even a wellness conversation. Things like fitness, nutrition, and beauty existed in their own silos and were only brought together in places called spas. In fact, the very first Global Wellness Summit was actually called the Global Spa Summit. Despite all of the importance placed on the Summit—and it is an incredible event held in different countries each year and which this year is bringing together industry leaders to the welltech hub of Tel Aviv, Israel —you don't have to attend to benefit from the Global Wellness Institute's efforts. Part of Susie's mission is to promote research and trends that are making a difference in the world and to make much of that information available free to the public. Those research and trends range across the eleven sectors of wellness, in descending order of dollar value as of 2020: Personal Care & Beauty – $955 billion Healthy Eating & Nutrition – $946 b Physical Activity/Fitness – $738 b Wellness Tourism – $436 b Traditional & Complementary Medicine – $413 b Public Health, Preventive & Personal Medicine - $375 b Wellness Real Estate – $275 b Mental Wellness – $131 b Spas – $68 b Workplace Wellness – $49 b Hot Springs - $39 b GWS' research topic for 2022 is wellness policy. We're seeing that governments are wanting to have more direction when it comes to wellness, and the policy choices they make have a vast impact on people's lives. In the coming years, we're going to see even more how the decisions of policy play a role in our global wellness. You'll hear how Susie Ellis' recipe for success is vision, passion, and responding to a personal calling -- and how that helped grow this dynamic organization. And there's only more to come as GWS and GWI continue to recognize and research trends to identify and shape the future of the wellness industry.

He has logged hundreds and hundreds of hours floating and runs an incredible float spa in Austin texas. Float tanks are being used to help treat PTSD, anxiety, depression, and physical ailments. This is a truly exciting technology for uncovering deeper layers of ourselves and experiencing altered states of consciousness without psychedelics.Kevin Johnson is also a wonderful musician and a trained shaman who facilitates ayahuasca medicine ceremonies. We discuss the immense benefits of floating on the human nervous system, Kevin's history with exploring states of consciousness and the float tank, psychedelics, and how holding a ceremony is similar to holding space for your podcast guest. We get into a lot of really fascinating territory here, including how the jungle is broadcasting its own message through ayahuasca and the shamans who share its medicine.

[BYWG BEST OF…] Genomics, 23 and Me, and Personal Medicine with Ryan Frisinger Ryan is an interdisciplinary specialist operating at the intersections of medicine and culture. His major research project is the interaction between genetics, biotechnology, medicine, culture and the humanities. With an emphasis on biohacking, Ryan designs customized health programs that address genetic weaknesses, nutritional deficiencies, emotional traumas, and performance issues. By transforming advanced multidisciplinary research into potent health-restoring programs, he provides individuals with an operating manual for their unique body. His client base includes professional athletes, type-A high performers, autistic children, and individuals with autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders and other chronic illnesses. His broader work encourages a better understanding and articulation of scientific knowledge and informed critique of the ethical and cultural issues surrounding medical interventions and the practice of medicine.         Our Supplement of the Month is BYWGs Turmeric Boost Turmeric has been in the news for its surprising effectiveness to manage inflammatory issues and arthritis pain. However, not all turmeric supplementation is the same! Curcumin is one of the key active ingredients of Turmeric but it is not the only one and research suggests that supplementing with the whole turmeric is better than extracted curcumin alone. Turmeric is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and it is also a challenge to get the minimum recommendation of 1 gram per day in our diet. Turmeric BCM-95 is a patented form of whole turmeric that helps to address this issue by providing a trademarked formula with 700-900% better absorption in human clinical trials. In addition, it doesn’t require black pepper to be absorbed which can be a sensitivity for some patients. We added medium chain triglycerides (MCT) to BYWG Nutrition’s Turmeric Boost, which is a fat that encourages even better absorption as well. Once again, no fillers, no wheat, no gluten, no diary – just value, quality and effectiveness.
