Nancy Rynes, author of Awakenings from the Light, Walking in the Light, and Messages from Heaven, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share what happened when a distracted driver ran her over on a Colorado bike path, dragged her 50 feet, and left her with over 100 bone fractures — and what she experienced on the other side. A former scientist and committed atheist, Nancy returned from her near-death experience with a radically transformed understanding of consciousness, the soul, and what she now calls "home."In this episode, Nancy walks through her life review, her spirit guide's beyond-telepathic communication, why she refuses to call it the "afterlife," and the daily practices that keep her connected to source energy a decade after her recovery.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:10 Consciousness can split during trauma — Nancy experienced the accident from two simultaneous vantage points.16:33 A mysterious trauma nurse held Nancy down at the scene, almost certainly preventing her death from a broken neck.27:00 During her NDE, Nancy began remembering that Earth is the simulation, not home.31:42 The life review was the most transformative part — she experienced every event from the perspective of everyone involved.34:06 Thoughts carry energy that extends beyond the skull and affect the people and situations around you.37:11 Communication in the NDE was beyond telepathic — feelings, history, and meaning transmitted in an instant.41:10 We plan our lives at a high level before arriving, including a pre-agreed willingness to experience difficulty.45:11 Nancy's father appeared at the foot of her bed at the exact moment of his death, 250 miles away.54:55 Nancy's bones healed in four weeks despite over 100 fractures — her doctors were stunned.58:07 The heart is the direct channel to source, and 15 minutes of genuine gratitude or love can shift your entire state.If you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book

Allyne Betancourt, a member of the Dr. Joe Dispenza healing community, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share one of the most extraordinary healing stories on the show to date: how she was diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer, cured it holistically before ever undergoing surgery, and then — after surgeons removed most of her rectum anyway — used meditation and visualization to regenerate the organ back to nearly full size. Allyne walks through her refusal to "own" her cancer, the alternative protocols she combined with traditional treatment, the devastating aftermath of a surgery she now believes was unnecessary, and the dark night of the soul that led her to Dr. Joe Dispenza's work. The conversation closes with the medical documentation of her regeneration, the forgiveness work that made healing possible, and her hard-won belief that anyone — not just the exceptional — has this same capacity for the impossible.KEY TAKEAWAYS(00:02:38) Diagnosed with advanced T3 colorectal cancer and told surgery and a permanent colostomy bag were her only option — and her calm, immediate decision to refuse(00:05:37) "This is not my cancer" — why Allyne refused to own her diagnosis from day one, and how that mindset carried through seven months of treatment(00:10:01) Combining traditional treatment with alternative approaches: organic-only foods, raising her own grass-fed beef, and daily Buddhist chanting for hours at a time(00:11:54) Fasting five days before each chemo treatment — and the unusually severe reactions her oncologists had never seen before(00:19:27) The pressure to have surgery despite inconclusive scans, and her repeated request that doctors simply look before cutting(00:28:06) Waking up from surgery and instantly knowing she'd made a mistake — while the surgeon celebrated how well the procedure had gone(00:30:13) The physical toll of losing 8-10 centimeters of colon and most of her rectum: nonstop urgency, incontinence, and a dehumanizing new reality(00:36:04) Getting the lab results back — no cancer found anywhere in the tissue that was removed(00:37:15) Five months of worsening depression and a devastating conversation with her husband about not wanting to live like this anymore(00:39:50) The turning point: "I'm either going to live like this, or I have to grow another rectum"(00:46:04) Starting Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditation practice while running to the bathroom every 45-50 minutes, and the first sign of change after two months(00:52:16) Confronting the surgeon who performed the operation — and learning she had no idea Allyne never had cancer to begin with(00:59:50) The visualization practice Allyne used to dissolve scar tissue and "stretch" her remaining rectal tissue back toward full size(01:10:18) The colonoscopy that documented her rectum had grown from 3 centimeters to 10 centimeters, with no trace of scar tissue(01:15:46) Her message on breaking "the habit of being yourself" and why she believes healing the impossible isn't reserved for exceptional people(01:18:09) How Allyne has learned to meet life's setbacks with curiosity and trust instead of fear — even in the face of her husband's deathIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book

Quinton Sanicola joins Dr. Tara Perry for a wide-ranging conversation on subconscious reprogramming, near-death experiences, fasting, psychedelics, and the invisible "brakes" most people don't know they're driving with. Quinton opens up about his own experience going through Tara's hypnotherapy work after years of following Dr. Joe Dispenza, and the profound release he felt once his subconscious blocks were identified and rewritten. Tara shares the science behind why chronic stress keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight, real client stories of autoimmune conditions and chronic pain resolving through this work, and why so many high achievers are secretly driven by unresolved trauma. The conversation ranges into near-death experiences, dry fasting, Vipassana meditation, and the nature of reality itself — closing with Tara's reflection that healing doesn't mean life's challenges disappear, but that we become far more resourceful and resilient in facing them.KEY TAKEAWAYS(02:58) Quinton's own experience with subconscious work after years of following Dr. Joe Dispenza — and the question that led him to go deeper: "How can I take this further?"(04:50) "Running through mud" — Quinton's description of pushing through life without addressing what's really holding him back(05:29) The release Quinton felt after his first session — like releasing the brakes on a car that's been driving with them on the whole time(06:01) Why the invisible walls and hooks people carry usually got installed in early childhood and have nothing to do with who we are today(07:35) Real client outcomes Tara has witnessed: autoimmune issues resolving, veterans with severe PTSD improving in two sessions, and chronic pain and food allergies disappearing(09:47) The science of chronic stress — why living in fight-or-flight blocks the body's ability to heal, rest, and digest(13:18) Two remarkable client stories: someone with severe food allergies who reintroduced foods after 90 days, and a Rottweiler attack survivor who avoided further jaw surgeries(16:24) Why high achievers often carry unresolved trauma and imposter syndrome — including successful entrepreneurs who are uncomfortable asking for money(19:07) Tara's recent deep dive into near-death experiences, including Dr. Eben Alexander's story and what "life reviews" reveal about what really matters(24:10) A conversation on the simulation theory of reality, affirmations, and Tony Robbins' work on rewiring the nervous system through incantations(31:51) Tara's experience with a 7-day dry fast, the mental clarity it brings, and why she considers it a powerful reset(43:23) How addictive patterns like sugar, shopping, or alcohol are really the subconscious trying to fill a void — and why healing the root removes the need for the substitute(47:12) Why even after deep healing work, life's challenges don't vanish — but you become more resourceful, resilient, and less triggered(51:33) A look at the current research on psychedelics for reducing violent crime, addiction, and end-of-life anxiety — and the difference between therapeutic use and overuseIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book

Serena Sabala, author of The Hormone Harmony Shift and co-founder of Whole Shift Wellness, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share how she healed from PCOS and debilitating hormonal symptoms that doctors told her had no cure — and built a life and career around holistic hormone health as a result. Serena traces her passion for wellbeing back to watching her father's mental health crisis unravel his life as a child, and shares the pivotal moments that shaped her own healing: moving out on her own at 18, discovering yoga in London, and finally uncovering meditation with her husband. She opens up candidly about her own diagnosis with PCOS at just 15 and premenstrual dysphoric disorder in her 20s — and how she reversed both without medication. The conversation closes with the three pillars she now teaches to help others achieve the same transformation, and a remarkable client story that shows just how life-changing this work can be.KEY TAKEAWAYS(01:41) Watching her father's bipolar diagnosis unravel a thriving, successful life — and the early lesson that no amount of success matters without your health(04:08) Growing up in a dysfunctional home environment and Serena's belief that mental illness can be "contagious" through a developing brain(07:07) The pivotal moment at 18 when she moved out on her own and realized, for the first time, that she could feel good in the right environment(08:01) Discovering yoga, then meditation, as the two turning points that took her healing to a whole new level(11:14) The moment her "someday" dream of teaching yoga became a real plan — and how her life fell apart in the best way when she committed to it(13:18) Meeting her husband, a national yoga champion and 20-year fitness veteran, and realizing they were meant to build this work together(19:22) A client's mother who joined a retreat, began a health transformation, and unknowingly caught a cancer early enough to have it surgically removed without chemotherapy(23:19) Why Serena believes there's no better investment than your own mind and body — and the mindset shift high achievers need around health spending(26:03) The biggest myths about hormones, and why a "one pill, one problem" approach to the endocrine system falls short(28:34) Being diagnosed with PCOS at 15 and told there was no cure, then developing severe PMDD in her 20s that required maxing out painkillers just to function(33:44) Reversing both conditions naturally — her gynecologist now tells her she has the reproductive system of a woman 10 years younger(34:53) The three pillars of hormone harmony: the focus pillar (mindset and stress reduction), nutrition (including the psychology of eating), and movement (and why more exercise isn't always better)(42:24) Where to find Serena's work, her free Hormone Harmony assessment, and her retreats in Sicily and BelizeIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book

As we wrap up our July Joy Series, we're exploring one final question:If the purpose of life is to be happy…why aren't we happier?After spending the month immersed in the science of happiness and the wisdom of books like The Book of Joy, The How of Happiness, and The Art of Happiness, I've noticed something unexpected—I really am happier. But is it because I've been reading about happiness? Or because I've been putting simple happiness practices into action?In this episode, we explore why happiness isn't something we wait for or someday arrive at. It's something we intentionally practice through our daily habits, routines, and rituals. From mindfulness and gratitude to movement, meditation, and the Habit Thrive Cup, we'll discover that lasting happiness is found in the ordinary moments we choose to notice.We'll also reflect on the Dalai Lama's belief that "the purpose of our life is to be happy" and consider a different perspective: perhaps our purpose isn't simply to be happy, but to seek happiness—and to become someone who creates more happiness for ourselves and everyone around us.As we close this special series, I hope you're reminded that happiness doesn't require a perfect life. It grows one intentional choice at a time.So, ask yourself: What is one small habit I can practice today that helps me seek—and create—more happiness?xoxoLorrieIn this episode:The How of Happiness by Sonja LyubomirskyLoving the show?

Sylvester McNutt III, 10-time best-selling author, podcaster, speaker, retired arena football player, and father, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a grounded and deeply personal conversation on healing, identity, and reclaiming your story. Sylvester shares how growing up with two parents battling addiction through a violent divorce set him on a lifelong search for answers, why a stolen notebook at age 12 saved his life, and how football gave him both his greatest advantages and his biggest blind spots. He opens up about the difference between wallowing in the past and truly integrating it, the blind spots he sees in the high achievers he coaches, and why he refuses to pass a victim story down to his sons. The conversation closes with the mindset shift that changed everything for him — and a powerful invitation to stop beating yourself up and fall in love with your life right now.KEY TAKEAWAYS(02:46) What football didn't teach him — why sports prepare you to be an athlete but not for who you are when the identity is gone(04:47) The athlete's advantage — with 60-70 plays a game, there's no luxury of shame or rumination; you learn to refocus and return to baseline fast(07:58) What athletes hide — how fan culture dehumanizes athletes, why accepting verbal abuse is written into the job description, and the pain and fear that get masked(13:41) How Sylvester is raising his own sons in sports — keeping it about fun and learning, not performance, pleasing dad, or going pro(15:32) Growing up with two parents in addiction through a violent divorce, being separated from his brother and sister, and refusing to stay in a victim mentality(18:31) The power of imagination — why he saw an "image" of a different life, how football became the one place his parents couldn't influence, and how school field trips showed him what was possible(20:51) Why he chose communications as his college major: to solve the childhood riddle of what happened to his parents(25:57) Wallowing vs. avoiding the past — how to know when a wound is truly integrated, and why Sylvester feels nothing but love when he tells his story now(26:53) Holding parents accountable while honoring them — accepting the duality that his biggest pain points were also his biggest providers(30:59) The blind spots of high achievers — imposter syndrome, inflated shame, lying to the people trying to help you, and the epidemic of missing boundaries(37:37) The stolen 7-Eleven notebook that saved his life at 12 — and the full-circle moment when he returned as an adult to repay it(39:20) The biggest mistake people make when they want a better life: obsessing over how it will happen instead of anchoring to why(44:39) What 10-year-old Sylvester needed to hear — and the message every adult's inner child still needs: everything will be okay(46:50) Sylvester's closing invitation: stop beating yourself up, and fall in love with your life right nowIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book

Del Bigtree, Emmy Award-winning producer, founder and CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), and host of The Highwire, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a thought-provoking conversation on medical informed consent, government transparency, and the question he believes everybody should be asking. Del is the executive producer of the documentary An Inconvenient Study, viewed more than 130 million times worldwide, and through ICAN has pursued more than 1,000 FOIA requests and legal actions involving the FDA, CDC, NIH, and HHS. Del shares the nine-year backstory behind the film — from a 2016 dinner challenge with Henry Ford Health's head of infectious disease to the hidden-camera footage and the two-month sprint to finish the documentary — along with why he believes we're in the "violently opposed" stage of truth, where his fearlessness comes from, and the faith that anchors his work. The conversation closes with Del's megaphone message to the world: speak your truth, get involved, and let go of fear.KEY TAKEAWAYS(02:06) The handshake bet that started it all — Del's 2016 dinner with Dr. Marcus Zervos of Henry Ford Health, and the admission Del calls one of the most remarkable he's ever heard from a pro-vaccine scientist(04:59) The study gets done in 2020 — and why Dr. Zervos refused to publish it, captured on hidden camera at a second dinner in 2021(06:36) The phone call that changed everything — Senator Ron Johnson agrees to publish the study on the Senate website, giving Del just two months to make a documentary he thought needed a year(08:13) Two awards at FreedomFest — and why Del says he still gets tears in his eyes watching the finished film(10:59) Why Del says this is now "repeatable science" — what he describes as the 10th–12th study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children, all pointing the same direction(13:00) Del's challenge to the New York Times and Washington Post — "show your evidence" — and how he says the expert defense has shifted(16:44) The communicator's craft — how Del layered animation, music, visuals, and nine years of Highwire interviews to make a complex subject land for every kind of learner in just 70 minutes(19:30) Taking the film to Italy, France, Poland, England, the Netherlands, and Japan — nearly 10 languages and counting, with free translations on request(20:53) The Australian Senate moment — how Del realized the study at the center of his film is reaching health departments on the other side of the world(22:46) Schopenhauer's three stages of truth — why Del believes we're in the "violently opposed" stage, and the vaccinated-versus-unvaccinated study he says RFK Jr. is still fighting to complete at HHS(29:17) Why Del is optimistic — the 15% it has historically taken to change a system, and the 30% he believes "can't be hypnotized"(34:49) Where his courage comes from — parents who marched in the 1960s and celebrated his challenges, an unshakeable optimism, and a faith that leaves no room for fear(37:32) Del's biggest heroes — from Andy Wakefield and RFK Jr. to the unsung heroes history will never name(39:48) What he'd tell his 18-year-old self who dreamed of being the next Spielberg — "you have no idea how much fun your life is going to be"(42:43) Del's biggest concern for the years ahead — global governance, AI, and why he says rebellion is in our DNA(46:08) Del's megaphone message to the world: wake up every morning, ask what you can do to make the world better — then listen, and go do itIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consult

Mike Campbell, men's coach and author of Unleash Your Alpha, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a candid conversation on why so many outwardly successful men feel stuck, unfulfilled, and disconnected on the inside. Since 2012, Mike has coached more than 3,000 men across New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and the US, helping business owners, leaders, husbands, and fathers become more confident, emotionally grounded, and connected. Mike shares the heartbreak and loss that launched his own inner work, why the "armor" men build to feel safe ends up weakening them, and the deceptively simple practices he uses to help men slow down, face themselves, and reclaim the lives they actually want. The conversation closes with what men wish women understood, the biggest mistakes men make in marriage, and the power of doing this work alongside other men.KEY TAKEAWAYS(01:52) The iceberg beneath the surface — what successful men who "have it all" are silently struggling with, and why Mike has conversations with men that most men have never had(09:00) "A strength turned up too high is a weakness" — how coping mechanisms become armor, and why the thicker the armor, the thinner the skin underneath(12:17) Mike's origin story — a broken engagement, losing his mother to lung cancer, and the soul-searching that took him from personal trainer to men's coach(15:46) The realization that changed his career: men come with a physical want, but underneath it is an emotional need at the identity level(21:38) The "Trojan horse" approach to self-awareness — why Mike starts with simple, cutting questions like "Do you like yourself? Do you like your life?"(27:00) The 15-minute daily practice Mike gives every client — sitting alone with your thoughts, no music, no distractions — and why the discomfort points you in the right direction(29:40) "The thing I say I want, I don't allow" — why men crave space, peace, and ease but fill every moment, and the movie-watching homework that exposes it(32:59) The Lincoln axe analogy — why slowing down to sharpen the axe beats exhausting yourself cutting the tree down with a bread knife(39:01) Life as a million-piece jigsaw puzzle — why clarity and ownership of your own picture make everything more intentional and meaningful(42:40) What men wish women understood — why having their efforts witnessed, acknowledged, and appreciated is fuel(45:23) The biggest marriage mistakes men make — being emotionally inaccessible, or making their partner their therapist — and why men need other men(48:04) Inside "Hunt and Gather" — Mike's back-country initiation experience in New Zealand, and the irreplaceable power of men doing this work together(52:30) Mike's megaphone message to the men of the world: an invitation to come back home to yourselfIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consult

Doug Noll, trial-attorney-turned-peacemaker and internationally recognized conflict resolution expert, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a powerful conversation on why traditional "active listening" fails, how naming emotions can defuse conflict in under 90 seconds, and what a decade of work inside maximum-security prisons taught him about human nature. Doug shares the martial arts and mediation background that shaped his approach, the neuroscience behind why labeling feelings calms a dysregulated nervous system, and the moment he realized he was going about conflict resolution all wrong — and how fixing it transformed the lives of incarcerated women and power couples alike. The conversation closes with his framework for "listening someone into existence" and why he believes childhood emotional invalidation is at the root of most human conflict.KEY TAKEAWAYS(01:26) From trial lawyer to peacemaker — Doug's 22 years in the courtroom, his path through tai chi and martial arts, and the whitewater rafting trip that changed everything(06:14) The mediation with a divorced couple that led to Doug's breakthrough insight: listen to the emotions, not the words(08:34) The UCLA brain scanning study behind "Putting Feelings into Words" — why naming an emotion calms the amygdala and activates the brain's self-regulation center in about 90 seconds(09:47) Inside Prison of Peace — training incarcerated women and men to become mediators, and the staggering recidivism results: 800+ certified life inmates released, zero reoffenses(14:58) The science of affect vs. emotion — why we're born with only nine basic affects and how childhood shapes our ability to name and process feelings(18:17) Why Doug calls emotional invalidation "the most pervasive and insidious form of child abuse" and its link to violence, addiction, and mental illness(23:05) The story behind Doug's TED Talk concept of "listening someone into existence"(24:44) Why Doug teaches people to ignore the words and tune into the feelings — and how competing narratives turn into unwinnable arguments(28:34) Debunking traditional active listening — the real difference between Carl Rogers' original teaching and the "what I think you're feeling is..." formula that backfires(35:32) A story from a women's maximum-security prison: an incarcerated mother reconnects with her son after 18 years using the skills Doug and his colleague taught her(38:02) Where to find Doug's book Deescalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less, his upcoming book Empathy Leadership, and how to connect with his workIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consult

Dr. Pierre Kory, critical care physician and outspoken advocate for reexamining suppressed medical therapies, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a wide-ranging conversation on chlorine dioxide, the barriers facing independent medical research, and his current work on mineral-restored water. Pierre shares the personal stories that first pulled him into the world of chlorine dioxide research, why he believes regulatory bodies have effectively blocked oral and IV studies before they can start, and what he's learned from physicians and healers around the world who've used it in clinical settings.

Debra Martin is a spiritual healer and the founder of Army for Love, a free global healing community she built after surviving cancer and dying three times, each time returning with a deeper gift for healing. Debra now facilitates miracles for people around the world, from eliminating chronic pain without surgery to helping people finally release the emotional roots of physical illness.Debra shares how healing is never one-size-fits-all, why a diagnosis should never become your identity, and how staying present with love — even through cancer, grief, and radical life change — is the most powerful medicine available.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:00:57 Healing avoids surgery when the root is addressed, not just the symptom. 00:10:10 Giving a diagnosis your identity gives it power it was never meant to have. 00:12:16 Some people heal instantly; others heal in divine timing, and both are right. 00:13:29 Talking to your illness with curiosity instead of fear changes your relationship to it. 00:15:33 The brain remembers a state of wellness, and you can use that memory to return to it. 00:36:01 Walking away from every form of security can be the thing that sets you free. 01:05:07 External validation can never make you feel whole — authenticity is the only path there.RESOURCES MENTIONEDArmy for Love (free group healing, first Tuesday of every month, 3 PM Arizona time): https://www.debramartihealer.com/army-for-loveDebra Martin Healer — YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DebraMartinHealerIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consult

Dr. John Gray, author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus and the bestselling relationship author in history, joins Dr. Tara Perry to reveal what's actually happening in your body when love feels hard. With more than 50 million books sold across 50 languages and 40 years of research behind him, John connects the biology of stress hormones directly to the communication breakdowns quietly destroying modern relationships, and shares exactly what men and women can do differently to bring those connections back to life.John also opens up about why independent women are unknowingly producing the hormones that push love away, why men's mirror neurons shut down the moment a woman says "we need to talk," and how small, intentional acts between partners can shift the entire hormonal chemistry of a relationship.KEY TAKEAWAYS02:24 Why women's growing independence has changed relationship dynamics and what it means for their hormonal balance.03:59 The three symptoms that tell you a woman's hormones are out of balance: feeling overwhelmed, resentful, or exhausted.07:44 How stress looks completely opposite in men and women at the hormonal level, and why that explains almost every relationship conflict.09:45 What actually produces estrogen in women — and why it's not massage, it's the anticipation of support.19:11 How successful women can shift from their "male side" back to their female side after a high-performance workday.25:03 Why a man's mirror neurons shut down the moment stress enters the room, and how to talk to him so they stay open.33:47 The 10-minute conversation that drops a woman's stress more effectively than a full therapy session.43:29 The "two hands up" signal John teaches women — and why every man, no exceptions, will respond to it.47:41 What the "spark" in a relationship actually is biologically, and why you can keep producing it at any age.49:45 How women in and beyond menopause can continue producing estradiol naturally using the techniques John teaches.If you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consultRESOURCES MENTIONEDMen Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus — For Women Only by Dr. John Gray:Available at marsvenus.comDr. John Gray on YouTube:youtube.com/@JohnGrayMarsVenusHeartMath Institute: heartmath.com

philosophy and walking

Michael Rix didn't choose music — music chose him. Growing up in Faith Assembly, a cult in rural Indiana that forbade medical treatment, secular music, and nearly any form of outside connection, Michael found his escape in a homemade guitar string stretched across a punishment paddle. Today, he's an eight-instrument musician with over 24 million streams, a residency in Nashville, and a Grand Ole Opry performance to his name. His memoir, From Cult to Country: An Asthmatic's Journey to Find More Air, tells the full story — including watching his infant brother die of untreated meningitis, surviving years of stress-induced asthma without medical care, and the long road to healing that followed.In this episode, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with Michael for a raw and remarkable conversation about what it costs to grow up without permission to be human, how trauma lives in the body long after the circumstances change, and why telling the truth about your story is one of the most powerful things you can do.Key Takeaways:When you're in a cult, you don't know you're in a cult (00:00:35) — Michael describes watching his father transform from a joyful, basketball-playing man into someone cold and controlled — and how noticing that contrast was one of his earliest signs that something was deeply wrong. The teachings of Hobart Freeman's Faith Assembly came in slowly, then all at once.A medical doctor who walked away from medicine (00:02:46) — Michael's father completed his residency as a heart surgeon, then quit the profession after a sermon convinced him that modern medicine was equivalent to witchcraft. Michael unpacks the twisted theology behind it — and what it cost their family when that belief was applied to their children's health.Over 300 deaths, all from treatable conditions (00:07:24) — Faith Assembly members died from dental infections, childhood illnesses, and ailments that penicillin would have resolved. Michael describes the congregation, the prosecutions that eventually followed, and the surreal reality of parents being sentenced to prison for letting their children die while trying to follow God.Stress-induced asthma and the body's way of keeping score (00:14:24) — From age 11 to 14, Michael suffered three-day asthma episodes that left him breathless on the sofa, too sick to move. No inhaler. No emergency room. It wasn't until decades later — after hearing a Nashville minister describe her own identical symptoms — that he understood his asthma was emotionally driven, his nervous system responding to a world it didn't feel safe in.Watching his brother die (00:25:24) — At 14, Michael witnessed his six-month-old brother John die of untreated meningitis. His father prayed over the infant until the final breath. Michael was standing in the living room. This is the moment the episode turns — and the anchor point from which so much of his healing work has since begun.Music as the original medicine (00:29:53) — Long before therapy or coaching, Michael found his way out through songwriting. With headphones, a CD player, and a notebook, he translated his interior world into lyrics. His album I Can See the Sun — 24 million streams — grew directly from those pages. He shares the song titles and the feelings behind them, and reflects on what it meant to finally say what he actually felt.The toxic beliefs trauma leaves behind (00:32:48) — Through a process called SoSo Prayer with a psychologist friend, Michael excavated the beliefs he'd built around his worst experiences: nobody will accept me if they know, better keep this buried, telling the truth will get me rejected. Dr. Tara connects this to the subconscious stories that run below the level of awareness — and explains why those stories often control outcomes long after the original wound has passed.What happened when Michael worked with Dr. Tara (00:34:37) — Michael describes the session: a deeply relaxed state, forgotten memories surfacing, and a palpable shift in the heaviness he'd been carrying for years. Within days, the anxiety he'd long struggled to name had lifted — and opportunities began opening around him in ways he hadn't expected. He describes feeling clear, unblocked, and no longer weighed down by a stress he couldn't locate.Ready to take your own next step?

Dr. Liz Graves didn't set out to become a doctor. She discovered chiropractic as a patient, fell in love with its foundational philosophy that the body heals from the inside out, and built a career around that principle. Today, as the founder of Back 2 Real Food, she helps people restore their metabolic health through food, cyclic nutrition strategies, and targeted amino acid therapy — without relying on willpower, calorie restriction alone, or one-size-fits-all dieting.In this episode, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with Dr. Graves for a wide-ranging conversation on why so many people are doing "everything right" and still can't lose weight, what the modern food system is doing to our metabolism, and the counterintuitive strategies that actually work.Key Takeaways:The real reason diets stop working (00:07:00) — Every time you diet without recovery, your body adapts to living on less, slowing your metabolism over time. Dr. Graves explains her cyclic approach: a structured window of fat loss followed by a deliberate high-calorie phase that trains the body to metabolize more, not less.Seed oils are the #1 offender in your diet (00:16:44) — Vegetable, canola, sunflower, and safflower oils disrupt cell walls, cause inflammation at the cellular level, and impair mitochondrial function. Removing them is the first and fastest win Dr. Graves makes with every new client.Three foods worth adding right now (00:19:41) — Healthy natural fats (animal fats, olive oil, coconut oil), quality mineral-rich sea salt, and more whole foods without a label. Small additions that compound into meaningful change.Know your farmer (00:21:49) — Pesticide load, not the food itself, is driving the explosion in leaky gut, celiac, and autoimmune conditions. Dr. Graves recommends the Weston A. Price Foundation as a starting point for finding local farmers and co-ops, and makes the case that buying direct is often cheaper than buying organic at a grocery store.Targeted amino acid therapy changed everything (00:26:56) — Most people have never worked with a practitioner who assesses neurotransmitter imbalances and uses amino acids to correct them. Dr. Graves explains how depleted GABA, serotonin, and dopamine pathways fuel emotional eating, overwhelm, and burnout — and how replenishing them through targeted therapy gives people the neurological resilience to stay on course.Cortisol, stress, and weight retention (00:32:41) — Chronic low-grade stress (email, notifications, relentless demands) keeps the body in protective mode, holding weight and suppressing metabolic function. Dr. Graves connects the modern stress environment to the ancestral body we're still living in, and explains why supporting the brain matters as much as fixing the food.Body composition over the scale (00:58:06) — Dr. Graves uses body composition testing (muscle, fat, water, bone) rather than BMI or scale weight to track real progress. She shares the story of a five-foot-one woman with 105 pounds of muscle who technically "should" weigh 100 pounds — and why that framing is misleading and discouraging.What results actually look like (00:47:24) — On Dr. Graves' six-week protocol, most people lose about 10 pounds and drop one clothing size. On the nine-week plan, 15 to 30 pounds and two clothing sizes. She describes it as achieving six to nine months of focused progress in six to nine weeks — structured and demanding while you're in it, but consistently described as the easiest thing clients ever did when they look back.Ready to take your own next step?Visit calendly.com/consulttara/consult to book your free customized consultation with Dr. Tara Perry and get your GPS map — the coordinates for where you are now and where you want to go.

What happens when you build the life everyone admires — and it still doesn't feel like yours?Dr. Jeremy Goldberg knows that feeling well. A behavioral scientist with a doctorate, publishing research on the Great Barrier Reef, working alongside world-class scientists for the Australian government — and yet something was quietly draining out of him. In this conversation with Dr. Tara Perry, Jeremy shares how he learned to hear the difference between the heart whisper and the fear shout, why he walked away from a prestigious career to buy a van and wander through America, and what it actually means to live in integrity when the outside of your life looks perfect.In this episode, you'll discover:Why high achievers often feel the deepest emptiness — and what that signal is really pointing toThe "worst case scenario" mindset shift that gave Jeremy the courage to walk away from his PhD careerWhat "heart whispers vs. fear shouts" means and how to tell the two apart in your own lifeHow Jeremy's side project, Long Distance Love Bombs, grew from internet posts into a global coaching and speaking brandWhy chasing happiness at all costs may actually be the thing keeping you stuckThe power of wholeness over happiness — and why shadow, contrast, and difficulty are what give life its depthWhat becoming a father taught Jeremy about presence, feeling deeply, and what it means to truly arriveResources & Links Mentioned:Long Distance Love Bombs website: longdistancelovebombs.comDr. Jeremy Goldberg on Instagram: @longdistancelovebombsJeremy's book: It'll Be Okay and You Will Be TooBook a free intro coaching call with Jeremy at longdistancelovebombs.comReady to take your own next step?Visit calendly.com/consulttara/consult to book your free customized consultation with Dr. Tara Perry and get your GPS map — the coordinates for where you are now and where you want to go.

Dr. Christine Bishara, gut health physician, founder of From Within Medical in New York City, and author of The Gut Revolution, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a live Q&A exploring the science of the gut-brain connection and what most people are getting wrong about healing from the inside out.Dr. Bishara draws on her personal journey, losing over 70 pounds as a teenager through food, intermittent fasting, and microbiome science before most of the research even existed, to lay out a practical, back-to-basics framework for optimizing mood, metabolism, and immunity through the gut.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:00 The conscious mind processes 30 bits of information per second. The subconscious processes 40 million. Lasting healing requires reaching the elephant, not just the rider.07:39 Most Americans are eating in a way that keeps their gut in digestion mode around the clock, leaving no time for immune function or neurotransmitter production.10:04 Inflammation begins in the mouth. Oral microbiome imbalances can deposit arterial plaque directly into the heart.15:34 Serotonin requires tryptophan, an amino acid the body cannot make on its own. Mood disorders are often a nutrient deficiency problem, not just a chemistry problem.22:15 Acetylcholine controls the speed of neuronal communication. Brain fog and sluggish thinking are often tied to low healthy fat intake, not willpower.29:25 Chronic cortisol elevation keeps the body in fat storage mode. It is persistent stress, not short-term spikes, that drives chronic inflammation and disease.45:37 The biggest intermittent fasting mistakes: not eating enough fiber, fasting too long, and confusing restriction with healing. For women, prolonged fasts can backfire by triggering cortisol.54:47 Beneficial gut bacteria produce postbiotics that activate GLP-1 receptors naturally. You can get the satiety effect without medication, just eat the vegetables first.58:13 Children who had high levels of bifidobacteria were largely protected from severe COVID outcomes. Bifidobacteria, which thrive on plant fiber, is the single most important bacteria in the microbiome.01:00:26 Studies show meditation and prayer increase lifespan by an average of five years.

Send us Fan MailWhat if one of the clearest lessons about God doesn't come from a pulpit, but from a battlefield? We take a fresh look at George Washington and the word he returned to again and again: providence. Not luck. Not vibes. The steady belief that God's hand can guide outcomes even when the situation looks impossible.We connect Washington's story to LDS doctrine and modern revelation, especially how God speaks through the mind and heart in quiet impressions rather than constant spectacle. From Valley Forge to victory, we talk about what real faith looks like when nothing is working, and why “small and simple things” often show up long before the miracle feels obvious. Then we get practical: how to notice those promptings, how to act on them, and how that changes the way you move through fear, uncertainty, and decision-making.We also dig into gratitude as spiritual power, not polite behavior, and why gratitude protects us from pride and spiritual blindness. From there, Washington's refusal to seize a crown becomes a vivid case study in moral agency: just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. We tie that to humility, teachability, and leadership as stewardship and service, echoing the Doctrine and Covenants teaching on persuasion, longsuffering, and gentleness.We close with a personal question: have you ever made it through something you shouldn't have survived, something that feels more like providence than coincidence? If you're still here, God's not finished with you yet.

Title of this lecture (speech): "PURPOSE OF LIFE & LIVING". Speaker:

Traver Boehm, founder of the Uncivilized Men's Movement, two-time TEDx speaker, men's coach, and author of Today I Rise, Man Uncivilized, and 28 Days in Darkness, joins Dr. Tara Perry to explore the root causes of male suffering, why healing men is the key to ending harm caused by men, and what it actually took to spend 49 days alone in complete darkness.Traver draws on his background in MMA, professional bodyguarding, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to make a case for a new masculinity, one that is raw, relational, and built on brotherhood rather than isolation.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:03 Toxic masculinity messaging has left a generation of young men ashamed of natural desire. 03:35 Ending harm caused by men requires first addressing the pain that men are carrying. 07:38 Men in crisis stay silent because every outlet has taught them nobody cares. 10:34 Traver chose a 28-day dark retreat to discover who he was beyond physical achievement. 16:25 On his first retreat, the facility had never let anyone attempt more than three days. 22:41 Men are purpose-driven, and telling them they are not needed creates dangerous disconnection. 30:51 Owning your mistakes and attacking your resistance makes 90% of relationship problems disappear. 36:08 Brotherhood and high relational standards are the key to welcoming men back to the table. 38:40 Men do their best when given a place to be raw, real, and in relationship with their anger. 01:01:15 The four pillars Traver teaches: curiosity, physical competency, skill development, and relationship.RESOURCES MENTIONEDMan Uncivilized — Traver's men's movement, coaching, and community hub 28 Days in Darkness — Traver's latest book on his first dark retreat experience Today I Rise — Traver's book for navigating divorce and profound personal loss Traver Boehm on Instagram — @traverboehmWork with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

Steven Twohig, international speaker, author, and founder of Mastering Change, joins Dr. Tara Perry to discuss what happens when you stop running from your shadow and start treating it as a guide. Steven's story begins in a basement, where as a three-year-old he endured abuse, starvation, and threats — and it ends with 26 years of shadow work, over 200 trained guides, and a growing global community built around one core idea: you are the medicine.In this episode, Steven breaks down why the patterns we can't escape aren't bad luck — they're the mind looping unresolved trauma until we're willing to look at it. From the boardroom to the carpet ceremony, from Tony Robbins' stage to a bathtub suicide attempt, this conversation goes deep.Key Takeaways01:07 Shadow work isn't spiritual theory, it's the most practical tool Steven knows. 03:12 The first time someone turns within, they see they're both the warden and the prisoner. 05:00 Even a skilled guide catches himself deflecting fear — on the way to the vet. 09:48 Childhood torture, addiction, and multiple suicide attempts shaped Steven's entire path. 12:15 Jung was right: what you don't address will appear in your life as fate. 16:12 Projection isn't a metaphor, it's a measurable dynamic playing out in real time. 17:44 "Shadow dancing" is why couples keep triggering the same wound in each other. 21:53 The Shadow Work app and 65+ online integration groups are free entry points. 28:05 Family constellation parallels: when the container is right, trauma peels away. 47:57 The 100th monkey effect, HeartMath, and why 144,000 people doing the work could shift everything. 54:02 High achievers at peak performance are often running hardest from their core wound. 1:08:44 The mind wants to rewrite itself — you just have to stop blocking it.Resources MentionedTurning Within: Reclaiming Your Soul from Shadow by Steven TwohigShadow Work App — free download, includes the 28-question Wheel of Life quizmasteringchange.com — full program and guide training hubshadowceremony.com — live immersion carpet work (next event: September 18–20, Orlando)Work with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS PHOTOGRAPHYOK this might be my most interesting in bold essay yet: the simple idea: the purpose of life is photography?So after regaining my Ricoh, first the GR monochrome, now the current GR IV,,, this is the big idea:wow, truly having a pocket bowl camera, a standalone digital camera without all the distractions of an iPhone or whatever… Is perhaps the secret to living the most present focused, jubilant life? Another simple thought I had was, very simple… I just never want to miss another photo opportunity ever again. How many times have you simply seen something that you wanted your photograph, a great photo moment but, you're like stuck in traffic, your camera was in your bag or your backpack, or worse at home… And all you had was your iPhone, maybe you've photographed it with your iPhone but it doesn't just hit the same way as it fit or a shot with your standalone camera?Or even worse, let us say that you're shooting it on film or whatever, and like, the tedious burden of figuring out how to get it developed and scanned because you're so busy, but you're also kind of on a budget, and then, the tedium of having to purchase additional film and deal with the workflow?So a lot of people want to live off the grid, get some sort of like Tesla, maybe a solar powered roof or something and not have to be dependent on any like foreign infrastructure to power your your life and lifestyle, I think people also have this idea with money finances economics etc.So I think the genius of digital photography it seems so obvious now… Assuming you have an iPhone and iPad or laptop whatever,.... isn't it kind of amazing that you could create a fully integrated solution? That is independent of external sources?I've been thinking about this a lot, especially now that I'm getting pretty knee-deep into finances, bitcoin investing etc.… the general goal is capital Accumulation, towards what end?I mean the simple answer is for the sick of financing your photography lifestyle, it's like not accumulating and accruing a bunch of money in capital for the sake of it but for the sake of making it that you could just keep traveling the world making insanely great photos, doing your photography thing, and never running out of money?And I think this is where perhaps the critical thinking of philosophy has been so beneficial to me… I mean the big questions, like having enough money, towards what ends etc.… Nobody ever seems to think about this that critically because maybe, we simply feel like we never have enough? So then… Life living your life be very simple, just heard from the backwards start from the end, and work your way backwards. If the purpose of life, the endgame goal is photography, then the simple goal is sacrifice everything for the sake of your photography?ERIC***Ricoh Ricoh Ricoh Ricoh Ricoh which one should I pick? why?Another analogyTowards what end?so why does this matter?

In this episode of Next Level Healing, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with New York Times bestselling author, CPA, entrepreneur, and financial literacy advocate Sharon Lechter, co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and long-time partner of both the Rich Dad Company and the Napoleon Hill Foundation. Sharon's Origin Story: Money at the Dinner TableSharon grew up lower middle class in a family of entrepreneurs, living between her father's used car lot and her mother's beauty shop, and helping manage rental properties from the age of 10. [4:50] [5:00]Her family also owned orange groves; her father taught her that the oranges were cashflow while the land itself would grow in value—land that later became part of SeaWorld in Orlando. [5:10]Money, assets, and investing were regular dinner-table topics, shaping her understanding of wealth early on. [5:10] [5:24]She became the first in her family to attend college, was the only woman in her accounting classes, and one of the first women in public accounting in the late 1970s, where she learned how companies succeed and fail. [5:24] [5:51]From Talking Books to Rich Dad Poor DadSharon helped build a global company around the first talking children's books with sound strips, licensing with Disney, Warner Brothers, Sesame Street, and Marvel Comics to get kids excited about reading. [6:17] [6:35]After selling that company and moving to Arizona, her oldest son went to college, was lured into credit card offers with “free pizza” and “free t-shirts,” and ended up in serious debt—an experience that took him seven years to repair and ignited Sharon's lifelong commitment to financial literacy. [6:50] [7:12] [7:36]In December 1992, she dedicated the rest of her career to financial education, initially working with school systems. [7:56]Meeting Robert Kiyosaki & Building a Global BrandSharon's husband, an intellectual property attorney, introduced her to Robert Kiyosaki, who had created the board game CASHFLOW. [8:11] [8:33]At the first beta test, Sharon was the only player to get out of the “rat race,” and she loved how the game aligned with her teachings on investing, assets, and the difference between active and passive income. [8:33] [8:46]Drawing on her experience commercializing products, she helped Robert bring the game to market. When he wanted to price it at $200 in 1996, she suggested writing a brochure to explain his philosophy and justify the investment. [9:09] [9:21]That “brochure” became Rich Dad Poor Dad, which they co-wrote and never expected to become a standalone phenomenon; their company was originally branded Cashflow Technologies. [9:38] [9:54]Over a 10-year partnership, Sharon served as CEO, co-authored 15 books, created multiple games and infomercial products, and launched the Rich Dad Advisors series, helping build what became the world's largest personal finance brand in 110 countries and 51 languages. [9:54] [10:09] [10:28]Leaving Rich Dad & New Doors OpeningAfter a decade, Robert wanted to move into franchising, which Sharon felt was not a good model for franchisees; she chose to leave, emphasizing that sometimes you must close one door for others to open. [10:28] [10:41]Shortly after, she was appointed by President George W. Bush to the first President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, later serving under President Obama as well—an opportunity she believes she would not have had if she'd stayed at Rich Dad. [1:29] [10:52] [11:08]In March 2008, the Napoleon Hill Foundation invited her to help reinvigorate Hill's teachings, leading her into the world's largest personal development brand. [11:08]

Have you ever gotten something you always wanted? Maybe you chased it for years, working, praying, and paying for it, and once you finally had it, you felt empty and unfulfilled. And so you kept going, chasing, and thinking, “If I only had a little bit more, then I'll be satisfied.” But what if that's a lie? What if the things we're all chasing were never meant to satisfy us? For six weeks we'll learn some hard lessons from the book of Ecclesiastes. Written by King Solomon, Ecclesiastes is a cautionary tale about what happens when you get everything you ever wanted and it's still not enough. With this series, we'll expose life's darkest lies by holding them up to the light of God's truth.

This podcast episode of Next Level Healing features Dr. Tara Perry speaking with fitness industry expert Kevin Steel, PhD, about the transformative benefits of exercise for brain health, anti-aging, and overall well-being.Kevin Steel brings decades of experience in health and fitness, having completed multiple Ironman competitions and holding a PhD in exercise physiology with a subspecialty in nutrition. He spent his career working with everyone from corporate executives to athletes, eventually becoming director of education research and member services for the world's largest health club company. The conversation centers on Steel's assertion that exercise is like a miracle drug - "if science could put it inside a pill, people would be lined up around the block, willing to pay anything to get it". He emphasizes that only 7% of chronic diseases are genetic, meaning 93% are lifestyle-related and preventable. Key benefits of exercise discussed include:Brain Health: Regular exercise regenerates neurons and expands gray and white matter in the brain [13:52]. It stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which acts like "fertilizer for your brain" [15:32]. Exercise can reduce amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's and dementia [13:52].Mental Health: Steel references Dr. John Ratey's book "Spark," which demonstrated that exercise therapy can achieve the same or better results than pharmaceutical drugs for treating anxiety, depression, and stress [21:12] [21:38].Physical Health: Exercise improves cardiovascular function, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and can even reverse type 2 diabetes when combined with healthy eating [18:58] [16:32] [18:01].Children's Health: A study in Naperville, Illinois showed that structured exercise programs eliminated ADHD symptoms in children, allowed them to go off medications like Ritalin, and dramatically improved academic test scores [23:05] [23:34] [23:44].Steel advocates for a whole food, plant-based diet, noting concerns about hormones and antibiotics in mass-produced animal products [34:11]. He emphasizes that exercise doesn't require expensive equipment - simple activities like walking 30 minutes daily cost nothing but provide significant health benefits [29:33].Despite these proven benefits, only 26% of American adults exercise regularly, and only 18-20% belong to health clubs [28:34]. Steel attributes this partly to doctors receiving little education about exercise science in medical school, leaving patients without specific guidance when told to "eat better and exercise" [30:53] [31:41].The episode concludes with Steel's contact information for those seeking more guidance: LinkedIn at Kevin D Steel PhD: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevindsteelephd and email at KDsteelphd@yahoo.comWork with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

Send us Fan MailYour mind can argue forever, but your soul often knows in an instant. Todd sits down with Shane Murphy and Myles Treanor to explore the Soul Alignment Method, a practical approach to remembering your soul's purpose by learning to listen for a the sense of lightness and/or clarity within life force. We talk about what happens when modern noise drowns out intuition, why “alignment” can make decisions simpler, and how spiritual growth becomes real when we act on the promptings we receive. Myles also shares how intense life moments and patterns found in near-death experience research point to a universal theme people struggle to describe with words: the experience of an overwhelming light and a sense of coming home. From there, we dig into discernment in a world full of persuasion, charisma, and information overload. Words can be used to heal or harm, so we focus on where they come from and how the heart helps us tell the difference between truth and false light. You'll also get a guided alignment meditation you can return to, built around breath, awareness, and heart-centered affirmations like “Oh Sacred Heart, I am listening.” After the practice, we share simple questions to ask when you feel aligned: what makes you feel alive, what inspires you, and what truly matters. If you want to go deeper, learn more at thesoulalignmentmethod.com and check out the six-week Remember Your Soul Purpose journey that starts in May. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs clarity, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Support the showYou can reach me anytime at email: tandrewsen.monat@gmail.comInstagram @toddtalks_ig

We live on an amazing planet. Consider its diversity of terrain – mountains, valleys, plains and deserts, mighty rivers and babbling brooks. We have rain, fog, mist, snow and ice falling on our homes and heads. Mornings and evenings paint beautiful mosaics as the sun shines through the clouds. Consider the diversity of life, from earth worms to elephants. The waters hold an amazing variety of strange and beautiful creatures – each fulfilling a unique purpose. Some filter and clean the waters, others dazzle us with their beauty and strangeness, and some are food for other creatures. Then there is the flora – magnificent trees, eye-pleasing flowering shrubs. There is the spectrum of greens -- from dark to light. Flowers come in all colors of the rainbow and in mixed shades. We live on a planet suited for man. Yes, there are challenges we face that strengthen us, but there are the joys of eating with family and friends from the limitless variety of foods of every texture and taste. When was the last time you put down your smart phone or turned off the television and asked: Is there a purpose for life? And if so, what is it? Am I merely the product of blind evolutionary forces? If so, how can there be meaning? And how can there be life beyond the grave? Simply put, why are you here?
