Podcasts about practitioners

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with Mariah Gannessa, founder of Four Visions, a plant medicine platform rooted in sacred reciprocity and indigenous partnership.  Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-317/?ref=278 Mariah shares her decade-long apprenticeship with the Inga people of Colombia and her journey creating Four Visions as a reverent bridge between Amazonian healing traditions and modern seekers. The conversation explores the Four Visions of the Yahé tradition, the nuances of cultural appropriation vs. cultural exchange, and the responsibilities of Western entrepreneurs engaging with indigenous medicines. Mariah also discusses how Four Visions reinvests in indigenous communities and why the concept of sacred reciprocity is central to her mission. Join Paul F. Austin and Mariah Gannessa on August 21st at 10am PT / 1pm ET for Hapé 101 for Practitioners, Coaches & Guides, a free live webinar hosted through the Psychedelic Coaching Institute. Whether you're new to hapé or looking to deepen your practice, you'll gain practical, respectful guidance on working with this sacred Amazonian snuff—personally and professionally. Mariah Gannessa has spent the last decade immersed in the healing cultures of the Amazon and has dedicated her life's work to the plants and indigenous peoples of the rainforest. Her healing journey during her decade-long apprenticeship in study and service with the Inga tribe of Putumayo was a catalyst for her evolution as an entrepreneur, philanthropist and musician. Mariah acts as a bridge in the sharing of plant medicines with the world in order to support humanity's healing. She is the founder of Four Visions, a global leader in supporting indigenous communities through direct commerce partnerships, donations, and sponsoring charitable initiatives. In partnership with her teacher, world-renowned healer and Ingano Botanist, Taita Juanito, she founded MAGIC Fund, spearheading projects to preserve the Amazonian peoples, their cultures, and lands. Her work in service is fully inspired by a vision to leave a legacy of a better Earth for future generations.

Since the Buddha's time, certain practitioners have chosen to leave the household life to dedicate themselves completely to formal Buddhist training. Undergoing a ceremony of ordination in which they took monastic vows, these monks and nuns lived the remainder of their lives within a Sangha – community – of other ordained people. In modern Western Zen, you will find a thoroughly confusing situation where ordained people who live fully monastic lives are rare, most ordained people are called “priests” and live householder lives, and practitioners who are not ordained often teach the Dharma and lead lay Sanghas (functions historically reserved for ordained people). What is the use – if any – of continuing with a tradition of “ordination?” I discuss the value of monks, priests, and lay practitioners in the context of Zen as it is currently manifesting in the United States.

In this episode, we welcome back Sean Luitjens, VP of Product Strategy and Partnerships at Salary.com. Drawing from his recent conversations with over 20 WorldatWork affiliates, Sean shares his insights on the most pressing challenges and consistent messages from compensation practitioners on the front lines. He also unpacks the “mass confusion” caused by data overload and new compliance demands, the strategic allocation of limited budgets, and future of merit increases.  [0:00] Introduction Welcome, Sean! Today's Topic: The Consistent Messages from WorldatWork [5:07] What are the most consistent messages you've heard from WorldatWork affiliates? Practitioners are facing “mass confusion” from the sheer volume of data, technology options, and compliance requirements.  Despite increased demands, compensation budgets and headcount have not grown.  [17:47] Where are compensation departments focusing their time and budgets? Technology now allows for more sophisticated segmentation and pay philosophy execution than was possible with Excel.  The role of the compensation professional has expanded to include communications, as transparency makes it critical to explain the “why” behind pay decisions.  [28:17] Are merit increases going away? The effectiveness of traditional merit increases vs. paying for the role and offering performance-based bonuses that are not added to base pay.  The practical challenges of any model, whether it's merit-based or role-based, often come down to inconsistent management and lack of buy-in.  [34:36] Closing Thanks for listening! Quick Quote “We don't always put ourselves in the seats of the [compensation] practitioner . . . There's so much information coming at them from data, and the one thing that seems to not have changed in the comp budget.”

Hey Friend, If you feel bloated all the time—even when you're doing “everything right”—this is the episode you've been waiting for.

This week's episode is an interview with returning guest, Bonnie Biagioli. She's a somatic breathwork practitioner, certified sound healer, Functional Medicine Health Coach, and yoga teacher who has dedicated years to deep personal work.She shares her powerful journey of breast explant surgery after realizing her implants, which she had gotten over two decades ago, no longer resonated with who she had become. After making the decision to have the surgery, she realized they might have been contributing to health issues such as brain fog, heart palpitations, hair loss, and dark circles under her eyes.She has felt profound changes since day one without them. Most transformative of all, Bonnie has experienced a shift in her heart space — breathing deeper, feeling lighter, and coming home to herself. This conversation is a raw and inspiring reminder of the remembering that comes from listening to your body and embracing it — scars and all.Highlights- Her experience growing up in a cult — and the courage it took to leave at 17- What led her to choose breast implants- How her body and energy transformed after explant surgery- Her journey from seeking love, acceptance, and beauty externally to cultivating them from withinConnect with Bonnie:https://www.withbonnie.com/ https://www.instagram.com/bonniebiagioli/ Related Episode: Whispers of Trusting the Medicine with Bonnie #13If you'd like to connect with Stephanie, you can find her here:Instagram-@schoolofwhispers @__steef___/email-schoolofwhispers@gmail.com If you would like to schedule an acupuncture appointment with Stephanie at her current clinic, Balance Point Acupuncture, you can either visit ⁠www.balancepointacu.com⁠ or call 561-615-4535 to schedule your appointment today.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.

Hey Friend, Have you ever walked out of a doctor's office feeling more confused—or dismissed—than when you walked in? You're tired. Moody. Foggy. Hormones feel off. But the doctor says your labs are “normal” and you're “fine.” If that frustration sounds familiar, you're not alone—and you're not crazy. In this week's episode of Functional Medicine for Christian Women, I'm sharing:

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ben Weitz, a chiropractor with nearly four decades of experience and a deep-rooted passion for functional medicine. After suffering a serious bone injury on Halloween 2023, Dr. Weitz turned his own recovery into a masterclass in functional healing—skipping surgery and injections in favor of peptides, targeted supplementation, and upstream thinking. This isn't theory—it's application. We unpack what worked, what didn't, and why root-cause resolution still matters most. We dive into key healing tools like Forteo, collagen, and vitamin D3 + K2, while also covering deeper concepts like mTOR, longevity science, and why chiropractors often lead the way in integrative care. It's a powerful reminder that movement dysfunction, not just aging, is the true driver of poor health—and that healing starts when you treat the system, not just the symptom. Key Takeaways: Functional Medicine's Role in Healing: Dr. Ben Weitz utilized a functional medicine approach, including advanced supplements and anabolic compounds, to address a severe femur fracture. Integration in Medicine: The conversation highlights the importance of integrating functional medicine with conventional treatment strategies for optimal health outcomes. Focus on Longevity: Contrary to mainstream views, the discussion embraces a balanced approach to mTOR regulation, emphasizing muscle maintenance for longevity. Importance of Quality Nutrition: Dr. Weitz emphasizes the necessity of clean, quality supplements and a balanced diet rich in colorful vegetables, quality protein, and healthy fats. Exercise as a Health Pillar: The episode stresses the vital role of regular physical activity, particularly resistance training, for maintaining bone density and overall longevity. More About Dr. Ben Weitz: Dr. Ben Weitz is a Los Angeles-based sports chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner with over 35 years of clinical experience. He is the founder of Weitz Sports Chiropractic and Nutrition, where he helps patients address chronic pain and optimize long-term health through an integrative, root-cause approach. Dr. Weitz is also the host of the Rational Wellness podcast, where he interviews top experts in health and medicine, diving deep into topics like gut health, hormone balance, and longevity strategies. His passion lies in bridging chiropractic care with evidence-based functional medicine to support healing, performance, and preventive wellness. Website Instagram Facebook Connect with me!

In this episode, Dr. Jim Zeliff, DVM, MBA, joined us to discuss the emergence of mid-level veterinary practitioners. In November 2024, Colorado voters passed Proposition 129, creating a “veterinary professional associate” position. After two years of training and certification, these associates would be able to practice veterinary medicine under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.The AVMA, AAEP, and many other veterinary associations are strongly opposed to this mid-level role. In the episode, Dr. Zeliff encouraged veterinarians to become involved in their state VMA to increase advocacy for equine and other sectors of veterinary medicine. In closing, he said increased utilization of licensed veterinary technicians is an important part of keeping VPAs out of equine veterinary medicine.The Business of Practice Podcast is brought to you by CareCredit.This information is shared solely for your convenience.

Hey Friend, Have you ever felt like your hormones are completely off, but you can't figure out what's actually wrong—or how to fix it? Your labs say “normal,” but you feel anything but normal. Mood swings, fatigue, heavy cycles, anxiety, weight gain, insomnia… Friend, your body is not broken. It's communicating with you. You just need the right lens to interpret the message.

Welcome back to another episode of your favorite paranormal interview show, I am delighted to finally be able to release this edition of the show. I am being joined by Claudia Rosenhouse Ralken, Master DreamBirth Imagery Practicioner and Author. As most of you know I now have a 8 month old in my life, well this recording was done over a year ago when my wife was still pregnant, therefore this episode taught me a lot and meant something to me. Claudia and I had a fascinating talk about birth, babies, the paranormal side of being pregnant, reincarnation, past lives, manifestation, and so much more. Enjoy!

When clients come to work with me, one of the most common stories I hear is: "I've already spent THOUSANDS of dollars healing." This story often comes with a mix of bitterness, grief, and discouragement, but the most dangerous emotion it can come with is distrust. While other emotions like bitterness and grief can be painful or heavy to bear, distrust is one of the most dangerous emotions I see potential clients have because it breaks their ability to rely on others. Relying on others is something we all need to heal, because whether it's a matter of paying an expert to help us do something or simply trusting a friend or family member to care about us and bear our burdens with us, distrust sows the seed of unwillingness to move forward and get what we actually need to heal - others. That's why, on today's episode, I'm digging into the topic of how to handle the distrust that comes along when multiple providers or "solutions" you've paid time, money, and effort on end up in disappointment and pain. On this episode, I'll be sharing parts of my own personal story with distrust and discouragement in my health along with quotes from a book I've been digging into on trust, and stories from the lives of my clients. Whether you're trying to heal your gut, hormones, thyroid, brain, or any other set of symptoms or diagnoses - I hope this episode encourages you and gives you brain something new to chew on as you move forward in healing.

Our guest this week is Anita Schnee. Anita is a Feldenkrais™ practitioner who has joined us many times on this podcast. During the recent conversation we recorded with Dr Brennan Armshaw and Dr Claire St Peter (episodes 324 and 325), I kept thinking - I wish we had invited Anita. Well it turns out Anita was listening. Anita offers Awareness Through Movement classes twice a month via zoom. The introduction to her next on-line ATM lesson was built around Dr. Armshaw's work. It was sparking off all kinds of fun connections. I loved Anita's introduction to that evening's class. Of course, I wanted her to join me in a conversation, so here we are. We begin with a much better description of the Feldenkrais™ work than I provided during Dr. Armshaw's podcast. Dr. Armshaw uses electromyography biofeedback to shape at the level of the activation of individual muscle fibers. Compared with his starting point we are all massively lumping! What interests me in this is what can be achieved when you start small. When we look for what comes before what comes before the action we are interested in, good things happen. Dr. Armshaw and Anita are helping us to understand what happens when we start small.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with someone who truly embodies grit, discipline, and the underdog advantage. From catching passes alongside Joe Montana to lining up against legends like Deion Sanders, JJ Birden's journey isn't just about athleticism—it's about mindset. What stood out most to me is how JJ turned obstacles into stepping stones. Despite being overlooked early on, he made it to the NFL through sheer determination and a no-excuses mentality. His stories from the field are more than just entertaining—they're lessons in perseverance, strategic thinking, and personal accountability. But his journey didn't stop when he left the game. JJ shares how he applied the same principles to entrepreneurship, launching his brand Beat the Coverage—a six-step framework for recognizing opportunity and winning in life. He breaks it all down in this episode, along with the health and wellness habits that keep him sharp and performing at his best today. This isn't just a highlight reel—it's a masterclass in resilience. If you've ever felt like the odds were stacked against you, this conversation is your playbook for rising above it. Key Takeaways: Resilience & Mindset: JJ Birden emphasizes the power of resilience and a strong mindset in overcoming barriers and achieving goals against the odds. Transition from Sports to Entrepreneurship: Birden discusses his career shift, leveraging his football experiences to motivate and guide others in their personal and professional journeys. "Beat the Coverage" Framework: JJ introduces a six-step framework designed to spot and exploit opportunities in life's challenges, aligning with his personal narrative.

Family First: Birden and his wife made a significant impact on their family by adopting his five nieces and nephews, expanding their household from five to ten, showing immense dedication and love. More About JJ Birden: Born June 16, 1965, in Portland, Oregon, JJ's athletic prowess earned him a track scholarship to the University of Oregon. He walked on to the football team and later excelled in both football and track & field In the 1988 NFL Draft, JJ was selected in the 8th round by the Cleveland Browns and went on to play nine seasons as a wide receiver, surpassing the average NFL career length of under two years Despite standing just 5'10" and weighing 157 lbs, he defied the odds, overcoming injuries and even being turned down by four teams in five days to establish himself as a key player with the Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, and a stint with the Cowboys After retiring, JJ didn't slow down. He became a successful entrepreneur in the health and wellness space, distributing Isagenix products and building multiple ventures. He also spent years preparing for life after football, serving as a track coach, raising funds, investing, and coaching youth, then launched a career as a motivational speaker and performance coach JJ's signature speak­ing style blends stories from his NFL experience, playing two seasons with Hall‑of‑Famer Joe Montana, with clear, actionable strategies designed to help audiences in business and life "seize their opportunities" bestselling book, When Opportunity Knocks: 8 Surefire Ways to Take Advantage!, captures the principles he lives by, and teaches others to follow He and his college sweetheart, Raina, have been married over 35 years and live in the Phoenix area, raising three children and five nieces and nephews under their roof.

Hey friend, Are you constantly tired… no matter how much you sleep? Do you feel like your body is working against you, and coffee is the only thing getting you through your day? Have you told yourself: “This must just be part of being a mom… or getting older… or being a woman”?

Want to be the kind of practitioner that supports your clients to discover their own inner knowing (and avoid telling your clients what to)?  If you're the kind of person (like me) who strongly dislikes being told want to do, and wants to avoid the ‘know it all' coachy stereotype in their client work, there's one simple test you can apply…   In this episode, we unpack: The “ratio” ninja trick that shows what type of practitioner you are Key differences between coaching vs. facilitation (they are oceans apart) Why most embodiment practitioners default to facilitation The two big reasons I believe coaching creates more transformation and more income How to shift from leading the session to holding space for deeper breakthroughs   If you've been inviting clients into their body - using meditations, guided experiences, and doing a lot of talking…. But you want to help them find more of their own answers instead this podcast is for you!    Resources mentioned in this podcast:  Somatic Self Coaching - free guide  Primal Feminine Flow - at home embodiment practice  Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification - professional training

Dr. Andrew Wells is a prominent expert in functional medicine, co-hosting with Dr. Woolner on the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast. He brings a wealth of experience from his extensive work in healthcare, emphasizing transparency and authenticity in developing functional and virtual medical practices. Episode Summary: In this episode of the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells delve into the often-misunderstood process of building a successful virtual practice. They challenge conventional beliefs, tackling myths about needing more certifications or complex technology to succeed. The hosts emphasize that many practitioners unknowingly follow unsuitable models, and they outline the strategic shifts necessary for doctors who wish to escape the traditional grind, explaining how to create a practice that fits their lifestyles. The episode dissects common misconceptions and reveals that building a virtual practice has never been easier, given today's digital resources. However, despite these capabilities, many doctors fail to succeed because of "unprioritized potential." The conversation uncovers the critical importance of dynamic prioritization, urging practitioners to align their professional goals with their core values and mission. Drs. Woolner and Wells stress the need to thoroughly self-reflect and dynamically prioritize to effectively manage time and resources, paving the way for achieving a thriving virtual practice. Key Takeaways: Building a successful virtual practice is easier than ever due to abundant resources like ChatGPT, Google, and YouTube. Practitioners often fail not because of lack of resources or capabilities, but due to "unprioritized potential." Dynamic prioritization, as opposed to static prioritization, is vital for effectively managing time and achieving success. Clarity on your "sacred center"—understanding your core mission and values—is essential for proper prioritization and fulfilling professional endeavors. The choice between building a virtual practice from scratch or using a proven system is crucial in determining the success and efficiency of practice development. Notable Quotes: "It's easy to build a virtual practice—a successful virtual practice even. It is easy, and if it's so 'easy,' why aren't more doctors doing it?" "The truth here it is, drumroll, please… About building a virtual practice is that it's easy, and that might shock you a little bit." "If you focus your time and attention on being a great athlete, you can do that. And that's all we're saying here." "We really do say in the grand scheme of things, when we zoom out, there has never been an easier time to build a successful virtual practice." "Our movement statement is that we're building an army of health professionals who are done watching their patients and communities suffer needlessly."

In this 50th episode, your hosts, Jonathan Kay and Stephen Julich, reflect on the intersections that shape the evolving path of the scholar-practitioner. This episode traces a search for wholeness through three vital crossings: • the intersection of thinking and doing, where lived practice challenges the silos of classical knowledge production; the intersection of the arts and knowledge-making, where expression becomes a mode of inquiry; and the intersection of soul, creativity, and contemplative introspection, where inner life becomes central to how we know, make, and become. We reflecting upon the themes from the last 49 episode through the central framework of the East-West Psychology Department; East–West–Earth–World and how they have lead us to better understand the scholar-practitioner model. We explore the limitations of classical knowledge production and the possibilities that emerge when we embrace a holistic approach to co-creative and participatory inquiry. We discuss how the scholar-practitioner is not a hybrid figure balancing roles—but a generative and integral site where research, art, and spirit converge. We ask: How might the humanities begin to embody the kind of quantum paradigm shift that physics once underwent? What forms of cultural practice and shared transformation emerge when we no longer separate thinking from being, or knowledge from soul? This episode is a 50th episode celebration of crossing thresholds—between disciplines, between inner and outer, and toward an integral vision of scholarship attuned to both the whole and the parts.
