In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes Dr. Richard Blake, a pioneering psychologist and breathwork researcher, to discuss the science and clinical application of Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB). Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-307/?ref=278 Dr. Blake shares key insights from his groundbreaking randomized controlled trial—the largest to date—on the effectiveness of CCB for reducing anxiety. The conversation explores the distinctions between breathwork modalities, how altered states are reached without substances, and why trauma-informed facilitation is essential for safe practice. Paul and Dr. Blake also dive into the pitfalls of mainstream psychotherapy, the overlooked power of lifestyle interventions, and how breathwork compares to both SSRIs and psychedelics in measurable outcomes. Dr. Richard Blake holds a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology and is a pioneering researcher in the field of breathwork, psychedelics, and holistic mental health. He conducted the largest-ever randomized controlled trial on Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB), providing groundbreaking scientific evidence on its effects on anxiety and well-being. Dr. Blake works with RUNGA, where he is dedicated to advancing the evolution of mental health treatments—moving beyond head-centered approaches to include breathwork, psychedelics, nutrition, exercise, and other integrative healing practices. His mission is to help people unlock deeper levels of psychological resilience, nervous system regulation, and self-awareness through embodied and experiential methods. Highlights: Why breathwork is a potent tool for trauma and anxiety Comparing Holotropic Breathwork to newer trauma-informed approaches Facilitator-to-client ratio standards for safety The ethics and economics of group breathwork sessions Inside the largest randomized trial on CCB for anxiety Why 5% adverse effects matters—and how it compares to SSRIs The “pivotal mental states” hypothesis explained Integration of talk therapy and altered states The power of community and connection in healing From peak performance to depth psychology: Dr. Blake's story Episode Links: Website RUNGA Breathguru Richard on Instagram RUNGA 90-DAY INTENSIVE, START NOW FOR FREE.

Bic Runga is one of New Zealand's iconic performers – dazzling audiences since the release of her first single in 1996. She went on to reach international fame, as well as winning the most New Zealand Music Awards by an individual ever. Runga is currently on the road as part of the Greenstone Summer Concert Tour, performing alongside Cold Chisel, Icehouse, and Everclear. The first show of the tour was this past weekend in Queenstown, and Runga told Ryan Bridge that she's having ‘such a good time' on the road. “It was really cool to meet these guys on the road,” she said of the other performers. “They're all legends and, y'know, they're all lovely.” Runga has brought her family along on this tour, and she says that it's definitely a military operation trying to keep everyone organised. “I'm trying to get on stage and someone's asking me where their sock is.” “It's cool to have them, but there's... it's just an extra layer of stuff to, y'know, find and wash,” Runga told Bridge with a laugh. Most people stream music nowadays, but despite having close to half a million monthly streams on Spotify, Runga says that it's not the main way artists make their money. “Streaming is a bit stacked up against you,” she said. “It has been harder and harder for musicians to make money out of things like that, but, y'know, I guess that's why we tour." “You have to really love doing it, y'know, I still do it because it's super fun and I can't do anything else.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Telegram” pēdējās nedēļās ir bijusi medijos visvairāk apspriestā interneta platformā, kas saistīts ar tās veidotāja un īpašnieka Pāvela Durova arestu Francijā. Tas licis ne tikai runāt par noziedzīgajām darbībām, kas veiktas, izmantojot šo platformu, bet arī par citām aizdomām, kas par “Telegram” bijušas agrāk, tajā skaitā sadarbību ar Krievijas dienestiem.  Uz Durova aizturēšanu ļoti histēriski reaģējusi Kremļa propaganda, kas ar to mēģina izplatīt vienlaikus vairākus vēstījumus, piemēram, ka Durovs aizturēts tikai tāpēc, ka viņš ir krievs un, ka Rietumos valdot "diktatūra". Bet ko mēs vispār zinām par “Telegram” un tā īpašnieku no publiski pieejamās informācijas? To šajā “Atmaskots” epizodē ar pētnieku un publicistu Frederiku Ozolu apspriež “Latvijas Avīzes” žurnālists Māris Antonevičs. Raidījumā izmantoti fragmenti no LTV “Panorāmas”, CNN, AlJazeera, TechCrunch.  Mediju atbalsta fonda ieguldījums no Latvijas valsts budžeta līdzekļiem.

Boh Runga burst onto the scene in 1999, the frontwoman of award-winning pop-rock Kiwi band Stellar.  She's gone on to become something of a multi-hyphenate, with fingers in various pies.  The singer, songwriter, and musician has become a household name, expanding her enterprises to include designing, jewellery making, and even writing a book.  Runga is taking part in the world-first Pride Synthony event, where popular music genres and hits are married together with classical orchestral music.  The pride event is the first of its kind, and set to be an incredibly inclusive event not just for those in the queer community.  “It's featuring a lot of artists over different genres of music coming together to celebrate the music that I guess Pride, if you can say, is famous for,” Runga told Newstalk ZB's Jack Tame.  “Like disco, and like, great gay icons, I guess.”  “I'm chuffed to be a part of it.”  She told Tame that when the email came, she replied straight away, which she reveals is unusual for her.  “This was such a special one. I'm so pleased to be a part of it.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This morning, Stace Azura and Charlie caught up with Boh Runga to talk everything Synthony Pride and have a song suggestion for her set. Do you think she'll like the suggestion? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Michael Ruscio, DC is a Naturopathic Practitioner, Doctor of Chiropractic, clinical researcher and author. His primary focus is digestive health and its impact on other facets of health, including energy, sleep, mood, and thyroid function and optimization. Dr. Ruscio's book, Healthy Gut, Healthy You, has paved the way for a ‘start with the gut' philosophy that has enabled doctors and patients to see improved outcomes with minimal expense and effort. In this episode, Dr. Michael Ruscio draws from his vast experience to present an approachable perspective on diet and things we can all do to become healthier and enjoy our lives even more, starting today.10:38 - Clinicians who are more opinionated tend to be more rewarded, but beware. When someone has a specifically clear narrative or is highly confident in their perspective, it's best to proceed with caution. This can be a sign of ignorance of the full picture and the complexities of the human body.20:45 - People can become less healthy overall when trying to maximize the health of their diet. If you're learning about lichens, histamines, dairy, seed oils, etc., it is easy to put yourself in a dietary prison from a place of fear and worry. We need to ensure that we don't end up diminishing quality of life by limiting social activities and other aspects of life.31:37 - We each have a health bank account: you put deposits in the bank and sometimes you make withdrawals. Invest and deposit liberally in your health, and make exceptions to have fun, smile and laugh. Having the vitality from enjoying different experiences in moderation will lead to a net positive account. 34:50 - The mind-blowing way we might be causing ourselves to be more sensitive to certain foods and environmental triggers. The limbic system helps us recognize aspects of our lives that help us survive, and the amygdala and limbic system get overactive when associating certain foods with fear. This correlates with depression and anxiety, and most importantly, can lead to blood that is actually more prone to inflammation. This means that your relationship with and narrative around food can cause you to actually become more sensitive to things like mold, pollen, and perfumes.This episode is sponsored by Quicksilver Scientific.

The Nordic nations served up tension, drama and excitement in abundance at the weekend as several titles were decided by the narrowest of margins. The Swedish men's and women's titles came down to goal difference, as did a bonkers goal-laden battle for promotion in the Norwegian third tier. That got co-hosts Lee Wingate and Paul Watson racking their brains about the closest title races in history in Part 1, with England, Azerbaijan and Austria all getting a mention. As do Sexy Pants, who have unfortunately been relegated in Finland! There is a venture outside of Europe in Part 2 as Paul talks in-depth about the Te Runga Games, a quadrennial sports competition held in Kiribati – one of the most remote places in the world. There's also a word for Afghanistan, whose new coach Ashley Westwood faces a full-scale rebellion before the World Cup qualifier against Qatar, and Eritrea, who have pulled out of the tournament entirely because the country's authoritarian regime deems the players to be a flight risk. And finally there's a listener email from Ian, who was treated like a royal on a football trip to Tajikistan. It is back to Europe in Part 3 as Lee pays a visit to Austrian club Blau-Weiss Linz, whose former player Raphael Dwamena sadly passed away after collapsing during a match in Albania on Saturday. That story is followed by the news of the penalty shootout that took place in North Ireland between Coleraine and Ballymena, and is the third-longest in football history. To finish off, we talk about our upcoming trip to Paris to watch Tahitian champions AS Pirae take on sixth-tier Saint Meziery in the Coupe de France at the weekend. RUNNING ORDER: Part 1: Frantic finales in the Nordic nations, the closest title races of all time & a roundup of the remaining Scandinavian football headlines (00:44) Part 2: The Te Runga Games in Kiribati, Eritrea's withdrawal from World Cup qualification and Ashley Westwood's mutiny in Afghanistan (17:48) Part 3: Completing the Austrian Bundesliga's 12 stadia, the third-longest penalty shootout ever & a preview of our Coupe de France trip (35:36)

Evolving, changing our programing, or stepping beyond trauma is a process, and it's not going to be perfect. It often looks like two steps forward, one step back. But that's the way the world works. Just realize that every time you work through something, especially when it's something you thought you've already addressed, there's often a different lesson or additional layer to work through. This episode is with my dear friend Joseph Anew. Joseph is a health, fitness, and nutrition expert. He and his wife run an event called Runga, which is one of my favorite events we go to every year. Joseph has undergone immense personal transformation, especially since the birth of his son. We talk about how certain events in our lives will create a fork in the road where we can choose which path we want to take. How things happen for us, not to us, and set us on a trajectory that has the power to change our lives. We also talk about how growth and change can affect the relationships around you. Enjoy!

If there's one thing the last few years have made abundantly clear, it's that humanity is in the clutches of Godless forces, and that anyone who walks in resonance and consciousness has to break away before it's too late.   Breaking away from the matrix takes on many forms - for some it will require walking away from the who and what we know, and for others it means getting as far away from “the grid” as we can. Either way, it comes down to protecting your energy field so you're not pulled into the reptilian consciousness.   For Joseph DiStefano, breaking away meant changing his name to Anew. Our family names have been passed down through generations and they carry traumas, beliefs and relationships that may be in direct conflict with coherence.   In this episode, my friend and founder of Runga, Joseph Anew joins me to talk about changing his name, and the solutions we have to put in place to thrive.   This is a war between God and those without God and those without God are trying to play God. -Jay Campbell     Three Things We Learned    Why Joe changed his last nameChanging the course of our reality requires sacrifice, what are you willing to give up for your resonance? Tapping into your coherence capacitorWhy is the matrix so hell-bent on muting our heart signals? How to find your dharmaWhat makes it so hard for people to find and thrive in their purpose?    Guest Bio   Joseph Anew is a health, nutrition, lifestyle coach, host of Intuitive Warrior and founder of Runga, an experience that combines cutting-edge wellness tools with fitness, yoga and meditation practices.   Over the last two decades as a professional in the health and fitness industry, Joseph has become a true global authority on how to optimize wellness and longevity on the path to improving fitness and sports performance.

In today's episode, I speak with Paul F. Austin. Paul is a 21st century pioneer who has long advocated for the responsible use of psychedelics for healing, leadership, and personal transformation. He has been featured in Rolling Stone, the New York Times, and WebMD for his work amplifying awareness around the benefits of microdosing psychedelics.Third Wave's Website:  www.thethirdwave.co Third Wave's Instagram:  @ThirdwaveisherePaul's Personal Instagram: @paulaustin3wPaul's new book, Mastering Microdosing, on Amazon: Mastering Microdosing: How to Use Sub-Perceptual Psychedelics to Heal Trauma, Improve Performance, and Transform Your LifeToday's episode is brought to you by:Quicksilver Scientific: Use code RUNGA to save 15% off your order.Traeger Grills: Traditions are better with Traeger. Support the showSupport the show

Functional cranial release drops the default mode network, just like psychedelics do. You experience this balloon inflation. There's this very calm sensation people will experience. And so there's kind of a window for people to have emotions that will come up, being able to be objective or empathetic towards those emotions. So there's a lot of utility for not just treating the brain and neurological conditions, but also with mental, emotional, spiritual applications. - Dr. John Lieurance Are You Stressed Out Lately?

"Limbic isolations are really really important because they either synchronize or asynchronize a whole wealth of pathways on the brainstems that keep us healthy and vital. And when we don't have that, it shuts it all down, so a lot of people might find they have a lot of anxiety, and there can be a lot of neurological confusion that happens with the brain." - Dr. John Lieurance   Releasing Hidden Fears "We carry a lot of fears that are based on thoughts that we believe are true like 'I'm not good enough' or 'I'm not loved.' What might be covering that up are thoughts like, 'My father doesn't respect me' or 'I'm going to be late for this appointment and they'll be made.' Those thoughts are covering up all of these hidden fears that we all carry and when you start to get into psychedelics or breathwork or even this endonasal treatment that I do, they take us back to a calm state and help us let go of those fears as they de-regulate our default mode network."- Dr. John Lieurance   Holding The Breath = Holding The Trauma "When we hold our breath, that's the veil. You have trauma, you hold your breath, it's going to push it into the subconscious. It's going to be there and it's going to control you in a way that's probably not going to be positive and create suffering." - Dr. John Lieurance   Links From Today's Show  Ultimate Cellular Reset RUNGA 436  Dr. John Lieurance | Melatonin Miracle: Supra-Physiologic Dosing, Sinus Health & Ending Inflammation 449 Hearts Wide Open | Identifying & Healing Core Wounds To Live Your Vision: Luke Storey, Cal Callahan, Dr. John Lieurance & Josh Trent Quadcast 468 Joseph Anew | Becoming an Intuitive Warrior: Developing Courage to Face Obstacles + Why Vibrant Health Starts in the Heart (RUNGA) It's All in Your Head: Endonasal Cranial Therapy by Dr. John Lieurance Melatonin: Miracle Molecule by Dr. John Lieurance Weston A.

I feel fortunate to be invited to many, many events in the health and wellness industry... ...but honestly, lately, I haven't felt all that motivated to go to most of them. There is one event, though, that is well, well worth the travel. It's called RUNGA and it's the most uplifting, rejuvenating, and empowering event I've ever attended. RUNGA is held twice a year for three days in Austin, TX, and I'm a regular.  Only fifty guests are invited to the beautiful, secluded property, which gives RUNGA an intimacy that I've never felt at other events. The people who go have a wide range of backgrounds, but what they share is their dedication to optimal health. Each day, we woke up to a delicious, nourishing organic breakfast, then spent the days engaged in activities like yoga and meditation, oxygen treatments, IVs, biohacking, cooking workshops, and more. The first was a panel called "State of Mind," during which we talked about spirituality, psychedelics, smart drug stacks, and general mindstate shifting using plant medicines, technologies, breath, and other cutting-edge, scientific and free, and natural methods to alter one's state of mind. My co-panelists were Tero Isokauppila from Four Sigmatic, Joseph Anew from the Intuitive Warrior podcast (and the creator of RUNGA), and my friend Dr. John Lieurance of MitoZen.  I recorded both the panel and the Q&A, so there's a huge range of topics covered in this one episode -  If you're interested in joining me for the next RUNGA event in April 2023 in Austin, Texas, you can apply here. I'd love to meet you in person. Episode sponsors: Elements of Vitality Event. Head over to bengreenfieldlife.com/elements-event to learn more and reserve your spot before it's too late!

Shop the BEST Organic Snacks at PaleoValley Save 15% with the code 'JOSH' PaleoValley's 100% Grass-Fed Beef Sticks Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are the only beef sticks in the USA made from 100% grass fed/grass finished beef and organic spices that are naturally fermented. Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy. PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on. Listen To Episode 468 As Joseph Anew Uncovers: [1:30] How to be an Intuitive Warrior Today Joseph Anew RUNGA Spartan Race Intuitive Warrior Podcast Heartful: Practices to Awaken the Heart BREATHE. | Joe DiStefano | TEDxLugano Exploring how to be an intuitive warrior in our modern era and why it's such a challenge for many people. 375 Bizzie Gold: Break Method | Why Instinct And Intuition Are Not The Same (Rewiring The Subconscious) Breaking down how intuition is different from instinct.

The fact that you can test your intuition through muscle testing. Paul Chek Joe Dispenza Why the future of healing comes down to frequency and vibration. [8:00] Joseph's Evolution + Hero's Journey from 3 Near Death Experiences Leonidas I Why Joseph decided to change his name, especially because of his son. Joseph's horrific accident when he actually fractured his skull. The inner strength Joseph found within as he began to heal and be his own support system.

The various other accidents Joseph has been through from cracking his teeth to breaking his ribs to dislocating his shoulder.

[28:30] How to Become the Frequency of Change How Joe Dipsenza's work has greatly impacted Joseph's journey. Where Joseph is at now compared to before having his frequency shift with Joe Dispenza's work. Why the phrase from Dispenza, "Be the frequency of change," has been so helpful for his growth.

Their decision to ask people to fill out applications to be accepted to attend RUNGA. Breaking down how the heart acts as a magnet. The difference between the idea of 'law of attraction' and true sending and receiving messages on a higher frequency.

Josh and Carries own birth experience with Novah. Britta Bushnell Transformational Birth Course Why he recommends Britta Bushnell's Transformed by Birth course to help parents prepare for the unknown. The heightened intuition both Joseph and Josh felt as their sons' births got nearer and nearer. Nathan Riley, MD, FACOG The OBGYN physician that helped Carrie and Josh immensely with Novah, Dr. Nathan Riley. How modern western medicine has really robbed the birth experience from women and the family. The multi-hundred billion dollar industry that grabs very high-level plasma stem cells from the baby's umbilical cord and placenta. How Joseph and his wife, Emilía, have made peace with Leon's birth experience and they're so grateful to have a healthy son. Why a person's birth experience is often reflective of the life journey that they're going to have in their time on earth. Joseph's mission to be a warrior and protect Leon with all that he has especially with how the birth went for them.

The Dark Night of the Soul that Joseph went through when his father died in 2017. Why the healing journey all comes down to ourselves and the individual path we go on in life. How Arnold was like a surrogate father figure for Joseph when he seeked out his mentorship. 463 JP Sears | This Is How Media HIJACKS Your Mind: Stop Censoring Yourself & Heal The Tyrant Within The power of breath and being aware of active breathing and moments when it becomes constricted based on the energy we're feeling or what we might have just listened to or read.

How RUNGA has been created to be a transformational experience to help people grow and achieve greater abundance and step into themselves. [56:15] Joseph's Top Mental + Emotional Tool Sets Why healing and doing the inner work shouldn't be forced and that was an important lesson for Josh to learn when he changed the podcast from Wellness Force to Wellness + Wisdom. Byron Katie's Four Model Questions and why Josh (and others) feel that they push shame on people when used in a general way. Josh's experience at RUNGA and all of the different activities that they did.  Why certain life experiences or moments in life call for one set of wellness tools over another and how to know when to use each one. How detours and blocks pop up when we misinterpret our energy and look too much back into our wounding. Why sometimes we don't need to keep processing a certain energy but go and use it through an activity such as mountaineering in Joseph's case. The incredible biohacking tools and supplements we have available today to help us keep our health in check and beyond yet we're going backwards at the same time. MitoZen 436 Dr. John Lieurance | Melatonin Miracle: Supra-Physiologic Dosing, Sinus Health & Ending Inflammation How sound and stillness will be the next important wellness practices that Joseph believes we will be going back to for healing. Why you need to employ the power of a thunderbolt or sound and vibration when you're going to make a real change in your life. [1:06:00] The Heart is the True Brain The different rites of passage for both men and women and why a vision quest is one way to experience it. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and why it's an incredible tool to keep the body in sync and essentially the true brain. HeartMath's research and how the heart gives off so much more energy than the brain and the communication is from the heart to the brain; not the other way around. The blood pressure wave in the HRV and why it's the reason he believes the three strongest emotions - anger, fear, and sexual energy can switch in a moment. Why Joseph believes that it is attainable to live in joy all of the time despite the duality we live and experience. How HRV is a reflection of our mood and state of being plus why an elevated average is best. The fact that the roof of our mouth has 83 acupuncture points and every sound we make has a frequency. Why so many yogis change their names after years of practice. Joseph's belief that we can check all the boxes and try to follow logic but heart and intuition is the only true path. Why our partners act like a mirror and bring up all the things we need to work on for ourselves. What the neck up approach to loving and dating looks like plus why it's not the same as true intimacy. [1:15:00] Why + How We Choose Our Life Partners How Joseph's wife, Emilía, came into his life to help him do the inner work and in the end he became Joseph Anew. Josh and Carrie's similar relationship story and how they help each other grow. Paleo(Fx) Why Joseph was so sure that he was going to marry Emilía the moment he met her at Paleo(Fx). The idea that maybe we already choose a life partner that levels us up to the point where the things that are hurting us on a subconscious level are going to help us flush those out. Why love isn't always enough; we need to be with someone that will challenge us and make us better. Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives by Michael Newton Why being open and intuitive are so important because people and signs are the map even when things don't make sense. How we're matched up with a life and life experiences based on what we're only able to handle plus learn in this lifetime and the next one. [1:25:00] The Key to Finding Purpose + Gaining Mastery The power of exploration and learning different things in life rather than just zeroing in on one thing and how that fits into the health and wellness journey. How Joseph's return to mountaineering is going to flow over into other areas of his life, especially parenthood. Why curiosity and playfulness is the missing piece in wellness that RUNGA is able to provide participants.

Deepak Chopra What primordial sound meditation is and why the word, "runga," has an interesting vibration. Joseph's view on wellness and what being well means to him. What it means to him to step out with his new name, Joseph Anew, and how his DNA is literally changing with his new identity. Power Quotes From The Show Coming Back Home to Joy "When we are born, we are abundant. We are joyful, we are happy. The game, the lived experience is us going far from there and coming back. That's the duality, that's the journey." - Joseph Anew Law of Attraction vs Higher Frequency "Between the law of attraction and sending messages on a higher frequency, the approaches are different but it's the same concept. Different approaches cater to different audiences. When you read books like The Secret or Think and Grow Rich, you're very focused on what you want and it's not that you shouldn't get granular even if you're into Dispenza but to me with Dispenza, you're looking for a more broad version of this change. A lot of people are looking for healing for example; not a blue BMW by September 20th, 2025. In my opinion, you want to become the frequency of change to see what's there." - Joseph Anew How to Live Your Own Life "I would tell my 17-year-old self that everything is happening on purpose. Everything in your life is for a purpose. Remember that there is no time or space in dharma, really. Right now your focus is to follow your heart, find your true friends, take good care of your body, be as physically fit as you can be in a reasonable amount of investment, and await further instructions. When we go to college and everyone has to be a doctor or a lawyer or something that pays well, you lose the magic. Everyone has their unique genius, their special gifts. For example, you could be an astronaut if you want to be but you're not supposed to be; you have a different soul contract and purpose for this world." - Joseph Anew Links From Today's Show  Spartan Race Intuitive Warrior Podcast Heartful: Practices to Awaken the Heart BREATHE. | Joe DiStefano | TEDxLugano 375 Bizzie Gold: Break Method | Why Instinct And Intuition Are Not The Same (Rewiring The Subconscious) Paul Chek Joe Dispenza Leonidas I 086 Creating The Unbeatable Mind With Mark Divine 410 Mark Divine | Positive Neurodiversity: Kokoro Spirit, The 5 Mountains For Inner Peace, & How To Fulfill Your Potential Paths to God: Living the Bhagavad Gita by Ram Dass Alan Watts Arnold Patent Eckhart Tolle Tony Robbins Britta Bushnell Transformational Birth Course Nathan Riley, MD, FACOG Esther Perel 463 JP Sears | This Is How Media HIJACKS Your Mind: Stop Censoring Yourself & Heal The Tyrant Within MitoZen 436 Dr. John Lieurance | Melatonin Miracle: Supra-Physiologic Dosing, Sinus Health & Ending Inflammation Paleo(Fx) Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives by Michael Newton Deepak Chopra Shop the Wellness Force Store breathwork.io Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Seeking Health - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40' Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Joseph Anew Facebook Instagram LinkedIn RUNGA Facebook Instagram LinkedIn About Joseph Anew Joseph Anew is an international speaker, fitness expert, entrepreneur and lifestyle coach.

God doesn't want you to use drugs to interact with the spiritual world. The reason for that is it's very easy to put your faith in being able to have God or the gods at your beck and call, being able to divine, being able to experience God but not ever truly know God, being able to experience a deep spiritual awakening but never actually go through the blood, sweat, tears, and the hard work that develops true spiritual enlightenment. - Ben Greenfield Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy. PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

How to come familiar with what you're good at and then without shame take that and run with it, not in the spirit of monetizing it, but with love. [1:13:30] How Prayers Can be Answered + Sometimes Are Not Why your heart first has to be in the right place and with pure intention when you commune with God about your wishes and desires. Ben's prayers for years to God to help heal his gut issues and how that health experience led him to actually helping so many people with their own healing process. How his health issues keep him humble knowing that his body is not perfect. Why prayers, like the ones he made for his gut health, are sometimes not answered directly because God knows that another purpose needs to be served,  you need something better or you need to be praying for something different. The fact that some people pray but they don't truly believe and that hinders the process. How God makes plans for us in ways that we cannot fathom and things will play out in a process that we never expected. Why we need to thank God now for the very thing that we desire compared to coming from a place of scarcity. How Ben defines wellness and living life well.

To be able to be on my knees each morning and say to God, 'I give everyone and everything to you. I can't do this on my own. I can't be good on my own nor be the father and husband I want to be on my own. Although this might sound like the total polar opposite of a positive affirmation, I'm a fallen creature and I would commit great evil if I were left all alone to myself; I know it...' ...However, there is this great confidence that despite all of that, I am loved unconditionally and have been offered a rescue line that is free so that all I have to do is rely upon the grace of God and his love to be able to help me be as good as I can be. I think knowing that gives great hope because then you know that you don't have to do it all on your own. You can rely upon a higher power to be the person that you want to be in this life." - Ben Greenfield Loving the World Through Your Purpose "You were made for a reason and you just have to unlock it. You have a planned divine purpose and it's so easy to experience the "grass is always greener" syndrome especially in a world with social media. It's so simple to look at other people living their purpose; they're a doctor or an architect or a gardener and then you find yourself comparing your life to theirs but never underestimate your unique skill set and the things that come easy to you because that's how you can love the world the most. You just have to intimately become familiar with what it is that you're good at and then unashamedly run with it in the spirit of not monetizing it but loving with it. Find your purpose and know that you never have to be ashamed of that purpose." - Ben Greenfield The Appropriate Path to God "In my own plant medicine experiences, they have only ever been about light, love, and spiritual enlightenment. Many former atheists that I have spoken to that have participated in plant medicine have been able to come and know God through ceremony. Plant medicines can be a path to God but it is not THE path; it is not the appropriate path to God. The reason for that is you can go in protected with positive energy plus the right environment and know that you can trust the shaman but it's really just playing with fire... ...That's why God has warned us about pharmakeia in the bible because he knew how attractive it was and how much of a train wreck it would cause in the end or how much of a displaced trust it would cause for people to put their faith and reliance upon how they could become spiritually enlightened in anything other than the free act of just leaving their burden at the foot of the cross, thanking Jesus, and living in grace." - Ben Greenfield Links From Today's Show  Listen to: Ben Greenfield Life Podcasts Why I Am No Longer Going to Be Using Plant Medicines: Part 1 - The Big Problem With “Plant Medicines” Part 2 - Why I Am No Longer Going to Be Using Plant Medicines: The Big Problem With “Plant Medicines” CHEK Institute How To Eat, Move, & Be Healthy by Paul Chek Paul Chek on Wellness + Wisdom Podcast RUNGA  Cover Story | Power Trip by New York Magazine Onnit 123 Aubrey Marcus – Own The Day 196.

I first became familiar with the brilliant Dr. William Davis and his impressive body of work when I interviewed him for an episode about heart attacks way back in 2009. Later, he joined me for a podcast about his book Wheat Belly, in which we discussed why you're not eating the same kind of wheat your ancestors ate, whether wheat bread is really better than white bread, if wheat is ever OK to eat and if so, when, and good substitutes and alternatives for wheat. Today, Dr. William Davis is back to discuss his new book Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight. In Super Gut, Dr. Davis takes his research and findings a step further and shows that because of our highly processed diet, pesticides, and overuse of antibiotics, our guts are is now missing so many of the good bacteria required to be healthy. As a result, many of us have lost control over health, weight, mood, even behavior. The ancient bacteria that keep our gut in alignment and our digestion easy have been dying off, replaced by harmful microbes that don't serve to keep us physically healthy and mentally fit. With cutting-edge research, Dr. Davis has connected the dots between gut health and modern ailments and complaints. There are entire species of microbes that have disappeared, creating health issues that were uncommon one hundred, or even fifty, years ago. A major consequence is SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), a silent and profound epidemic, which affects one out of three people and is responsible for an astounding range of human health conditions. Super Gut shows how to eliminate bad bacteria and bring back the missing “good” bacteria with a four-week plan to reprogram your microbiome based on research and techniques that not only get to the root of many diseases but improve levels of oxytocin (the bonding/happy hormone), brain health, and promote anti-aging, weight loss, mental clarity, and more restful sleep. Super Gut explains the science clearly and includes more than forty recipes, a diet plan, and resources so you can pinpoint your gut issues, correct them, and maintain your long-term health and well-being. Dr. Davis provides solutions to health problems by addressing the microbiome, massively disrupted in modern people. He shows readers in his Super Gut book, for instance, how to restore important lost microbes lost such as Lactobacillus reuteri, restored by using a unique method of yogurt fermentation that smooths skin and reduces wrinkles, restores youthful muscle and strength, deepens sleep, reduces appetite and provides many other youth-preserving and anti-aging effects. In Super Gut, he provides additional do-it-yourself-at-home strategies for benefits such as improved mood, improved athletic performance, better sleep, heightened immunity, and improved body composition. Dr. William Davis is also responsible for exposing the incredible nutritional blunder made by "official" health agencies: Eat more "healthy whole grains." The wheat of today is different from the wheat of 1960, thanks to extensive genetics manipulations introduced to increase yield-per-acre. Eliminating wheat yields results beyond everyone's expectations: substantial weight loss, correction of cholesterol abnormalities, relief from inflammatory diseases like arthritis, better mood, reduced blood sugar with many type 2 diabetics being freed of insulin and other drugs, all articulated through his Wheat Belly series of books. He is also a champion of individual self-directed health, as discussed in his Undoctoredbook.

Alvey and I got to know each other through Runga, a wellness retreat hosted a few times per year in Austin. At first glance, you wouldn't think that Alvey and I had a lot in common, but you'd be wrong! We have both lost a parent before we knew we were ready, and that rebuilding process can go one of two ways: make you or break you. In Alvey's case, losing his mother was hard but also forced deep self-reflection, prompting a journey that has transformed him into a deeply spiritual and effective health coach. I loved this conversation, as subtle shifts in the masculine can provide a great deal of healing to our feminine as well as to those energetic bodies of the men and women that we are for in this world. [15:00] - Seeking external validation is equitable to giving your power over to somebody else [22:00] - Love languages [26:00] - The pain teacher cometh [30:00] - Vulnerability precedes connection [39:00] - What does "holistic" mean?

[...] Starting anew, right now, is the best thing we can do.” ~Joe DiStefano Joe DiStefano is a coach, educator, the Founder of RUNGA, and host of the STACKED podcast. Joe joins Adam once again on this episode of Up and Adam to look back on the past 19 months since the beginning of the pandemic and offer their thoughts and encouragement as we move forward into a post-COVID world. Adam and Joe believe that the reclamation of one's individual sovereignty should be the top priority if we are to step away from the culture of fear that has defined the first two years of 2020. In Adam's words: “We rolled into harbor. Through that storm that we weathered, we formed bonds. Now it's time to get off the ship and burn the f*king boat because it is time to move forward and pursue the path that we are truly meant to be on.” Asked about how his approach to RUNGA has evolved in the new normal, Joe says that the sifting process for his events has always been incredibly stringent, and that he has only doubled down on those high standards while increasing the frequency of these events in the coming years. Adam then switches gears to talk about what drew Joe to the world of psychedelics and gets his thoughts on heroic dosing versus microdosing as well as finding the medicine that works for you. Finally, Joe looks forward and paints a picture of where he plans to be by the end of 2022 and gives his final words of encouragement to listeners as we begin to emerge from a period of intense vitriol and seemingly endless uncertainties.   Follow Joe @coachjoedi Follow Adam @vonrothfelder   Key Highlights How do we move forward in a world where people we called “friends” in the old normal have now deemed us crazy for holding certain views that contradict the mainstream narrative? Joe explains how he has adjusted RUNGA in the new normal in order to bring people closer and remove all the negativity of the outside world. Joe shares what drew him to psychedelics and his thoughts on heroic doses versus microdoses. Joe paints a picture of where he will be by the end of 2022. Powerful Quotes by Joe In order to achieve your highest greatness, not only do you need Strong Coffee, but you need your tribe. You need a constellation around yourself to be the best Adam this planet has ever f*cking known. With ketamine, the idea of the journey is to get to that one insight that helps guide you. There are people who are far more knowledgeable about psychedelics than I am; but, I think that having the right sherpa is probably the most important thing in choosing the right medicine.

Joe DiStefano is a coach, educator, the Founder of RUNGA, and host of the STACKED podcast. Joe joins Adam on this episode of Up and Adam to do a deep dive into the science of stress, how the modern world has cornered us into a neverending state of survival mode, and how to break out of that vicious cycle. Joe kicks things off talking about his transition out of the corporate side of the wellness industry into pursuing an NASM certification in 2004, during a time when “the fitness scene was very much ‘sit-and-push' and personal trainers were basically ‘rep counters'.” After a brief period of learning in physical therapy circles he opened his own gym, Ultimate Athlete, at the age of 24. Down the road, he sold the gym and got the opportunity to become an early-stage company advisor—and later full-time executive—for Spartan. “In the fitness franchise,” says Joe, “I learned how to scale coaching.” This was the reason he joined Spartan, and a foundational experience that led to his success as an sought-after authority in the world of fitness. Asked about the psychology of those that dive into endurance events, especially one as grueling as the Spartan Death Race, Joe says that it comes down to the accessibility of endurance sports and the opportunity they give us to stretch ourselves beyond our limits. This led down into a rabbit hole that contained the real meat of today's discussion: navigating stress in our fast-paced and increasingly tribalistic society. The prevalence of chronic stress in today's world means that a large amount of our energy is being shuttled away from our vital systems and toward those that fuel our primal survival instinct. This high-stress state that too many of us have been living day-in and day-out has been a huge blow to our gut and reproductive health, not to mention mental health. Joe and Adam go into how “bad” stress negatively impacts our lives in more ways than most think, and how we rise above the noise.   Follow Joe @coachjoedi Follow Adam @vonrothfelder   Key Highlights Joe shares what motivated him to sell his gym and work with Spartan. What type of personality becomes motivated to take part in the Spartan Death Race? Joe talks about the difference between “good” stress (ex. athletic activities) versus “bad” stress (ex. watching the news), and when it might be a good idea to exercise less. Joe explains why you shouldn't get your news from the same place you read up on conspiracy theories. Powerful Quotes by Joe We all need something, and I think that endurance sports are just low-hanging fruit. Exercise is beneficial, but if your exercise is a super beatdown, and you're super-stressed already from watching the news or having some sort of emotional stress or fighting with your spouse, then you might have been better off doing a half-hour foam roll than doing some super-hard exercise session. Anything that's metabolically expensive and doesn't lead to an increased chance of survival under stress is basically stunted, or shunted, until the stress goes away—but the stress never goes away these days.

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/magazineinterview Recently, I agreed to do an interview for a magazine called Biohackers Update, and they sent over questions in advance. Now, they were pretty intriguing and adventurous questions. So interesting, in fact, were the questions, that I decided to turn the entire interview into a podcast for you...and I think you'll enjoy it quite a bit. Biohackers Update is committed to bringing readers all of the important updates from the world biohacking community while sharing positive tips, tricks, and trends for self-improvement. With a focus on scientific studies, statistics, and data science, the content in Biohackers Update is based on methodical approaches and validated information (which you know I appreciate). Because I really enjoyed answering the questions for this interview, I thought it would be kind of nice to share a collection of my replies in long-form audio, or what I affectionally call a "solosode." The questions spanned topics from advice for a pandemic-stricken world, to my updated daily routine, to my favorite quotes and book. We also talk about what is most probably most top-of-mind for me right now, which is the rebranding of Ben Greenfield Fitness into Ben Greenfield Life, the mission of Ben Greenfield Life, and how this shift aligns with my own ultimate purpose. So, a big thanks to Biohackers Update for the inspiration for this episode, and feel free to knock yourself out with comprehensive show notes below. In this episode, you'll discover: -Ben's ultimate mission in life...07:20 -Ben's approach to healing, and how it differs from a conventional approach...28:15 -Ben's favorite books...42:10 -What advice do you have for the pandemic-stricken world?...1:06:03 Upcoming Events: Join me and my wife Jessa at Runga for The Gathering.

Today, I'm joined by my good friend Joe Distefano. In this episode, Joe talks about his experience recovering form a traumatic brain injury and how specific neurological treatments plus a shift in his mindset ended up making the biggest difference when his progress had stalled. One of the themes you'll hear in this podcast is how Joe's brain injury served as an "indicator" for him. Because it was sensitive to changes in his environment, his condition showed him exactly when his lifestyle was helping or harming him. He was able to use these learning experiences to craft the interventions and tools he now shares with his business, Runga Life.   Visit our WEBSITE www.neu.fit to learn more!

In this first episode of Heartful: Practices to Awaken the Heart, Emilía Rún shares a glimpse of the rewards to be reaped from incorporating these practices into your life.Emilía touches on:When times are especially divisive, our potential for awakening is so great because we're so far from our nature. Even just a little bit of meditation and slowing down can help us realize, amidst the uncertainty, what's truly important, both individually and societally. As we continue on our own unique paths, we may find areas of our lives where we too are not living in alignment with our own hearts. Meditation as something to check off our lists in the mornings doesn't tell the whole story. The spiritual path is full of wonder and joy, and it also often full of raw emotions, denial, and doubt… and then rebuilding as we find our way in the world a little differently than before.Spiritual practice can help us deepen the relationships around us. Our capacity for loving and communicating expands, and we more easily tap into our patience, understanding and compassion for others and their suffering.Media and culture can push us into perceiving a “bad other”, and we are all affected because our nervous systems resonate with each other. This creates disconnection and unease as it relates to how we view the outside world.These practices and teachings reorient the heart towards joy, compassion, love, and kindness. We water these seeds in our hearts so that they can continue to grow and help us act our purest intention, to live from the truth of who we are.Spiritual practice can help us turn towards our human challenges; it helps us have tea with Mara as the Buddha would describe. The invitation is to use our spiritual awareness to experience this human life more fully. Our growth edges and challenges are our greatest opportunities for growth. It takes a courageous heart turn towards our suffering.If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, share and subscribe to the show!Emilía hosts weekly community mindfulness classes on RUNGA's platform, The Tribe. 

"I never want people to think there's just one thing you need to do to kind of change your life." -  Joe DiStefano Joe DiStefano is a coach, educator, and Founder of RUNGA. His talks and teachings focus on ingraining profound mindset shifts, giving audiences the courage and the tools to align their actions with their objectives throughout daily life. During his eight years as Head of Sport and Training at Spartan Race, Joe worked full-time with professional endurance athletes and taught seminars all over the world. Joe joins Adam on this episode of Up and Adam to talk about everything from energy, vibrations, courage, and optimism to food, yoga, and wellness. Most of us cannot imagine giving up our salary, working every minute of the day to create something that will potentially lead to the future that we envision. Talking of mindfulness and energy, Joe says you can't keep one foot in a job that's not serving you and expect the other foot to just manifest your reality. To get to your dream, you have to burn the boat. He shares how his learnings of vibrations and energy were majorly influenced by a Kundalini Yoga class he attended in LA. Listen in to the refreshing conversation the duo has today and learn all about getting to your higher consciousness by choosing the kind of food and nutrition practices for your body.   Key Highlights Courage is the gateway to higher consciousness; it helps bring fearlessness. Start speaking the truth. It influences your life in more positive ways than you can imagine. Hear about Les Brown, a well-spoken African American pastor who talks about how the fear of change is too great and that it takes courage to live your dreams, manifest your greatness, and decide to live.  Learn the importance of time management in life and how you can practice that. In the gym, Joe had the most straightforward nutrition plan ever for his kids. Why does he keep it that way? Lower amounts of pesticides, the use of organic food, and the like help in the better functioning of your mind and body. Know the importance of learning balance. Imbalance comes from knowing all the edges. Joe shares how he was introduced to Kundalini yoga and how it helped him evolve as a person. Weakness in the body is vibration. Know all about the break in the vibrational sequence and how food influences it. Joe discusses optimism and spirituality and also the impact it has on the people you talk to.   Up and Adam is an Operation Podcast production.
