Have you ever considered what the limitations of scientific research are? What do we do with the limitations in nutrition science? Much of the conversation among nutrition scientists, outside the realm of eating disorders, revolves around various fad diets or approaches involving highly processed foods, intermittent fasting, and keto diets, among other trends. But the majority of this evidence may lack comprehensive scientific support. During this conversation, I want you to stay in the gray area with us. In this episode, I'm talking with Dr. A'nna Roby. Dr. A'nna Roby is an esteemed physiologist, author, speaker, and Registered Dietitian specializing in disordered eating and eating disorders. She received her Bachelor of Science from Cornell University where she studied nutritional sciences. A'nna was then accepted to the combined PhD/Registered Dietitian position at Cornell where she did her dietetic internship and PhD simultaneously, focusing on metabolism and body weight regulation. After her doctoral training, A'nna moved to Washington, D.C. and conducted research at the National Institutes of Health. She now runs a private practice in the Minneapolis area helping individuals cultivate a healthy relationship with food and their body. Tweetable Quotes “There's all this hype about intermittent fasting and keto and what so many people were so quick to jump on is that it is terribly restrictive. It's it's horrible for you. But it's not that there's zero evidence.” - Rachelle Heinemann “It's somewhat of a privilege problem. Some people don't have access to real food or the resources to prepare real food.” - Dr A'nna Roby "We have shown that intermittent fasting is no better than a traditional diet in terms of weight loss. There's nothing magical about it.” - Dr A'nna Roby “For those of you who are eating breakfast at seven and lunch at one, we're talking to you. Have a snack.” - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Dr. A'nna Roby's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dr.annaroby/?igshid=MjEwN2IyYWYwYw%3D%3D Dr. A'nna Roby's Website -  https://drannaroby.com/

 Can You Hold An Open House For An Agent From Another Brokerage? - Ep 207   On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club, Jennifer and Jim Camarata talk about “Can You Hold An Open House For An Agent From Another Brokerage?” Jim talks about the code of ethics violation and how it's related to this question! Tune in and find out!   Episode Highlights:  Jim says that you are not allowed to hold open houses for an agent from another brokerage in the state of Minnesota It is part of the code of ethics. 12 dash 5 says “Realtors shall not advertise nor permit any person employed by or affiliated with them to advertise Real Estate Services or listed property in any medium without disclosing the name of that Realtors firm in a reasonable and readily apparent manner, either in the advertisement or any electronic advertising via a link to a display with all required disclosures.” It's misleading to have agents of different brokerages show a house.  Jennifer says it's confusing because you can still advertise a listing from an agent from another brokerage, given that you give the right credits. She exclaims that it makes no sense to have this limitation of cooperation. If we can show another person's listings in multiple ways, how is the open house different? Jim simply says that it's written in the law. The seven-step guide to doing an open house 3 Key Points: Jim says that you are not allowed to hold open houses for an agent from another brokerage in the state of Minnesota.

What is the power of a motivating purpose in one's life? What happens when our chosen purpose seems to run out? What do we do when the expected fulfillment at the high point of a career or other life quest feels empty, less thrilling, than anticipated? How do you recalibrate when the change you worked so hard to catalyze has a timeline that doesn't match our expectations? For example, consider what we call the corporate refugees, executives who ticked all the right boxes, made the money, but still find something missing; or veteran change makers and leaders, who might wonder if their driving energy has been used up or burned out. How can any one of us, at any stage in our lives, discover a sense of renewal that propels us forward in harmony with an evolving world and universe?In this conversation, Aviv Shahar explores the many levels and expressions of human purpose with Holly Woods, author, consultant, transformation leader and founder of the Emergence Institute. Holly works directly with people from all paths and levels of accomplishment to discover and re-enliven their purpose and passion. She generously uses her own journey of success and shadow to illuminate a life of self-discovery and change. Among their insights:Living ‘on purpose' is to look squarely at your greatest sorrows and joys, find the connection between them over time, and see they are flip sides of the same coin. Neither is right or wrong; both illuminate who you really are.Many leaders in the transformational arena spend their lives looking, unconsciously, for the next inspiration but are afraid to move out of their existing structures.Enlightenment isn't a destination. We are in an epochal shift with an evolving story; we are forever pushing the void, the frontier, in an on-the-move realization.A form of burnout is doing something in a similar way consistently over time; when the world shifts and it no longer works, we don't know how to adapt.Veteran changemakers will struggle in a transition as their world shifts: they've gained perspective, but their capacity hasn't expanded; another version of themselves wants to emerge.Next-gen leaders can grow impatient with the pace of change, and the impatience can be externalized as righteousness. It's also the impatience of a person with themselves.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

So earlier fulfillment is usually related being externally oriented, with their family culture, community, corporate, and peer group expectations about what success looks like, and generally, we think of being fulfilled when I've achieved those expectations, so it is a very different kind of fulfillment, and when we wake up to what's inside of us, our internal milieu, we say, ‘ Oh, there's something I'm missing; I'm maybe happy sometimes, but I don't have joy. I don't have a life force; it's missing from me, ' and when people wake up, they really have a deep desire and longing for that, and I can speak more about what the longing actually is, but it's really at a later stage of development.” (Holly) “Sometimes they have successful businesses, sometimes not, and sometimes they come to me after they've been struggling for a long time. But not always; sometimes they're in the middle of their business and it's going well, and they scaled, and they're like, "Oh, I have all these things going, but it doesn't mean anything to me anymore.” They're kind of a mix of the other two categories. They often have figured out how to be successful in the material world.” (Holly ) “I used to tell my clients, ‘ We're going to do these things, we're going to discover your purpose, we're going to do shadow work, and then it's going to be like magic. ' I didn't even know how to explain it. I don't know what happens, but it just does, and it is magic. It shows up a lot, and now I understand it more fully. So, synchronicity is a huge part of my work, and I now understand it, and it really is alignment, which means that discovery through the shadow work helps resolve become clearer and more free of those limitations and constrictions, and then taking small steps into the world to invite in opportunities and, boom, it shows up. It still feels like magic. But I now understand fully how to create that opportunity for my clients. So, it is synchronistic for the vast majority of my clients. We get to a place, and there's usually a session where something happens there, like all kinds of awareness has happened, and then people in other places start showing up.” (Holly) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteEmergence Institute

We're about to get a close-up look at how a creative and successful business leader is using his remarkable experience and passion to transform the civic and business landscape. It's the latest chapter in an accomplished life dedicated to creating positive change in diverse communities. In his 22-year career at Microsoft, Robbie Bach led the creation and development of Xbox, the highly popular and successful video gaming system, in addition to other critical creative and leadership roles. In 2015 he published his first book, Xbox Revisited: A Game Plan for Corporate and Civic Renewal, and in 2021 he published his first novel, The Wilkes Insurrection. Robbie continues his leadership as consultant, catalyst, and speaker to civic, corporate, and university communities. In this conversation with Aviv Shahar, Robbie describes his current endeavors as “civic engineering,” the work we do every day to improve and transform our communities. He traces his personal journey from corporate leader to bridge builder — bringing together polarized political leaders in Washington, D.C., by creating new opportunities for working together. Robbie has an insider's perspective on the role of technology and media in culture and communities, and is open about the religious faith that helps shape his worldview. Robbi e shares with Aviv some of his insights and advice, including:The American experiment is about the middle — the bell curve. When the bell curve gets torn apart by extremes and polarities, we've got a problem.My generation has to take accountability for allowing this cynicism to seep into our society through lack of strong leadership. We are handing the next generation a world in a not very good situation.I look to people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, and say it's going to be your world. If the environment is going to be fixed and we can still keep the lights on, you have to figure out how to do that.Grace is recognizing what's going on around us, what's happening to us, and knowing there have been purpose and achievement along the way; then being grateful for the good and the bad that have shaped our lives.If you're dealing with anxiety, find a way to talk about it and turn it into something productive; find a friend, a counselor, a coach, a spouse, whoever it is; don't be shy about asking for help.The ability to overcome is one of the most important character traits people can develop.Tragedy is a place where we learn and grow; it's where we triumph. It's where we figure ourselves out. It's where we say, Who am I? What am I doing?Take the long road, have a plan, and then know it's going to change and be excited about it. You might have to zag a bit to be successful or get started, but that's okay.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

I'll say, in particular, social media, but broadcast media has fallen into the same trap, where all of our leaders feel like they're on 24/7. And the problem with that a) God knows who wants to live that life, that's a separate problem. But the bigger problem with that is, if you're on 24/7, in that world, you're constantly trying to make political points. And the fact is, when you got most of these people away from the cameras and away from the keyboard, they're actually pretty reasonable people.” (Robbie) “When I talk at universities, I do a lot of guest lecturing. And usually, that's business strategy, leadership, the things that you know, come from my Microsoft and Xbox experience. But I always at the end, talked about three things. I talked about faith, I talked about perseverance. And I talked about serendipity.” (Robbie) “In a dialogue, we're one of the characters here of the words, we must all overcome our fear. We must proclaim the true meaning of Islam. We must make people understand that Islam means peace. And she says, I may not practice all aspects of Islam, but it forms the fabric of my principles and beliefs. It shapes who I am and how I care for others. Islam is a faith-based in modesty, forgiveness, tolerance, and morality. So when I read this, in this paragraph, you obviously you've had to find the sense of empathy and embrace of otherness.” (Robbie) “ You know, in the middle of summer, there's not a lot of change going on. Things are sort of green, the weather sort of is what it is, and you're sort of waiting for something to happen in winter. Look, something new is going to come from this. The question is, do we see the opportunity to shape it or not? If we just let it happen, what will come may not be to our like, if we see it as an opportunity, we can shape it and turn it into something that is to our liking. That is wonderful. And that gives us the ability for that next generation that I was talking about to have a really fruitful and intentional adventure.” (Robbie) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteRobbie Bach

Why are both childbirth and sex often taboo subjects that evoke shame and silence rather than being seen as a fulfilling and completely natural sexual experience? In order to discuss this, Debra Pascali Bonaro explores the connection between birth and sex, tackling taboos and shared characteristics like movement and sound. She highlights the harm in separating birth from sexuality and emphasizes understanding anatomy in both contexts, uncovering historical medical practices that disassociated birth from sexuality. Debra urges reclaiming birth's empowering and sensual aspects, paralleling intimacy and birth while addressing fear and stress. In today's episode, listeners are encouraged to challenge taboos, infuse pleasure, and reflect on their beliefs, inviting them to share birth stories and offering comprehensive childbirth education to honor the profound link between birth and sex.   In this episode: Host Debora Pascali Bonaro delves into the intriguing link between birth and sex, challenging listeners to explore shared taboos and shame Viewing birth as part of one's sexual continuum is advocated She traces the disassociation of birth from sexuality through medical practices like hospital gowns, emphasizing the need to reclaim sensuality in birth Embracing and celebrating anatomy, fostering empowerment in both sexual and birthing contexts, is highlighted Debra emphasizes the importance of reclaiming sensuality and intimacy in the birthing process, urging listeners to consider creating a birth environment that mirrors the ambiance of a satisfying sexual experience The significance of rhythmic movements, sounds, and privacy in both experiences, fostering comfort and empowerment, are discussed Debra concludes by encouraging listeners to challenge norms, share stories, and seek comprehensive education that integrates birth and sex connections   Key Takeaways: Birth and sex are two taboo topics that can bring shame and silence Anatomy and physiology of birth are the same as sex Home births allow people to wear their own clothes, move in the way they want, and choose who is present Religion and patriarchy have played a role in separating sexuality and motherhood. Essential for safe and gentle birth: privacy, movement of body, sounds, and breath changes Get out of the mind to have an orgasm or a gentle birth. Bring back birth as part of a woman's sexual life Partners should talk together and clear any taboos   Tweetable Quotes:  "We must bring together birth and sex." - Sheila Kittinger "Both sex and birth should be incredible, orgasmic, pleasurable, joyful, loving, and ecstatic." - Debra Pascali Bonaro "It's so important that we start bringing back birth as a part of a woman's sexual life. And partners, if you're listening, this is so important for you to think about for you to clear whatever taboos and things are there and to talk as partners together." - Debra Pascali Bonaro   Connect with Debra!

In many Portals conversations we explore the nature of the emerging new universal possibility not as a separate and distant change, but as a living reality — an uplifting evolutionary impulse that can transform lives, communities and our planetary ecology. Especially in a time of political and environmental upheaval, how do we discover and more fully engage with the real potential of personal and collective transformation? What is the nature of leadership in a transformational journey of people and communities whose vision is to co-create a positive, sustainable future for humanity and the planet? In this conversation we get a deeper look at the kind of leadership that can facilitate emerging universal change and transformation. Aviv Shahar is joined by Geoff Fitch and Abigail Lynam, from Pacific Integral and Generating Transformative Change (GTC) North America. Jeff and Abigail recount their personal journeys of change and growth, and many years of leading the transformational experience of groups and individuals on three continents.Among their insights and learnings:My greatest fear became my greatest opening.If we don't do anything, we don't make mistakes. So the idea is to create more and better mistakes; new mistakes, rather than repeating the old ones.Humanity is in the midst of a profound period of change; the opportunity of our time requires us to embrace universal human values, ethical action, and engage our evolutionary potential.Unless we find a better way to engage generational resources, wisdom, and collaboration, our chances of meeting som e of the difficult challenges are dramatically reduced.It's how individuals can show up in the development of the collective; we can bring our greatest potential and fullest selves to hold a space of leadership for when it's our time.What makes this poss ible is we all have gifts and blind spots; we're all on our own evolutionary journey. We're whole and beautiful as we are – and we're ready.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

So we've been in the heat of it. It's not us coming from a place of, oh, we figured it out and now we're going to lay it out for you. We are in the practice ourselves and have been since the very beginning and in deep collected process.” (Geoff) “The thing I wanted to add to what you're speaking to Geo ff is one of the ways to hold the work is to say it's about being in relationship with ourselves, who we are and who we're becoming in relationship with one another.” (Abigail) “So one of the projections that we have about later stages of development is that there's somehow more mature, more whole, more complete. But one of my little tricks for counteracting that idealization, they're also more immature, you know, in a way, the most mature stage that we have is baby. It's like you, when you're born, you already know, you're an expert baby, you have it completely nailed, right. As you progress, you learn and grow.” (Abigail) “If you're accessing later stages of consciousness at an earlier age, sometimes that can mean that there are other aspects of the self that aren't as fully robust. And so how to support this sort of widening or growing out into the spaces that the self already has access to, how to stabilize, and how to integrate and work with the parts of ourselves that are less mature, is one of the challenges that we've witnessed.” (Abigail) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteA Community Of Leaders GTCPacific Integral

In many Portals conversations we explore the nature and meaning of what some people describe as expanded or greater consciousness — experiencing directly higher levels of intelligence and creativity than are ordinarily accessible through physical senses; connecting and communing with the universal source of cosmic or divine inspiration and purpose. The paths through history to expanded awareness or deeper levels of spiritual awakening are almost as varied as humans themselves: meditation and spiritual practices; physical ecstasy; hypnosis, and mind-altering substances found in nature or the laboratory. In this conversation, we follow the unique journey of awakening and transformation of Professor Christopher M. Bache, who explored the nature of consciousness through the clinical use of LSD in a 20-year study. Chris chronicles his experiences, perceptions, and thoughts about the future of humanity in his book LSD and The Mind of the Universe: Diamonds from Heaven. Chris currently is professor emeritus in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University. Chris and Aviv Shahar take a deeper look at the premise of an intelligent and purposeful universe that actually seeks communion with the human species, and the moment of peril now facing humanity and the planet. Among their insights:Our entire species and the development of this planet, in this solar system, in this galaxy, are all part of an exquisite purposeful systematic unfolding of this creative intelligence. The universe wants altered human consciousness to permeate all levels of physical reality so it can experience us in a richer, higher fidelity, higher quality, kind of way. There are no victims here, only saints and volunteers who have chosen to participate in the historic transformation of this time. Every person here deserves our respect. Spiritual visionaries of different lineages come to the same conclusion: evolution is speeding up, and humanity is at a pivot point of instability; we grow up, or probably go extinct. We have entered a phase of collective awakening; we may be able to go through an accelerated journey in one lifetime if we engage and participate in the evolutionary process. We generate energy by making choices, and the universe responds to the energy. In complex and subtle ways, we are always creating our own experiences.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

So what I'm about to describe is, in terms of justice, a splitting of the Divine Principle into two halves: a male half that stays outside of time and space in a transcendent position, and a female half that begins the process of manifesting time and space in the entire physical cosmos.” (Chris) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteThe Mind of the Universe Diamonds From HeavenChrisBache

OVERVIEW: Rest is part of productivity. Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about taking the pressure off of being an entrepreneur. In today's episode, Jason's text community asks for advice on how to step away from the pressure of running their business and focus on downtime. If you're an entrepreneur who feels almost burnt out, working 24/7 non-stop while chasing success, this episode is for you.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Join Jason's text community, and send a message to 386-284-4955. Community Question #1: "How do you not feel like you need to be working in your business 24/7 so you can prioritize some downtime?" Jason was part of a mastermind group called 2CCX Mastermind with Russell Brunson. Jason's mindset Coach, Lindsey, was using a framework that was really common in the therapy and coaching space: "Your circumstances influence your thoughts. Your thoughts impact how you feel emotionally. How you feel emotionally is going to have a lot of control over the actions you take." You have no control over your circumstances, but you have control over your thoughts. If you're hitting 80-85% of what you would generally target, you're on the right trajectory and can make improvements to reach higher. Community Question #2: "How do I get comfortable stepping away from my clinic?" People commonly think that no one can do what they do as well as they can. If you're hiring the right people, that won't happen. Hire people who can do 80-85% of what you would normally do in terms of quality and standard. Have the proper training, systems, and procedures in place to delegate responsibilities while you're away.   TWEETABLE QUOTES: "You can't control every single thought that enters your mind, but you can control how long that thought stays, your response to that thought, and your feelings towards that thought." – Jason A. Duprat "You will burn out as an entrepreneur if you put too much pressure on yourself to produce a certain level of results within too short of a time period." – Jason A.

OVERVIEW: “The job isn't to catch up to the status quo; the job is to invent the status quo.” – Seth Godin Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about creating tribes, communities, and movements to help your business thrive.

To learn more about community-building, Jason is studying Seth Godin's book entitled “Tribes.” Instead of focusing on marketing, Seth Godin challenges business owners to create tribes, communities, and movements. You're not challenging the status quo if you're not getting on anyone's nerves. The way to create the community is to connect people with the same ideals of challenging the status quo. “Build your loyal followers and don't treat them as numbers.” – This is a common concept taught throughout Jason's courses.

I don't feel like anybody should go through life feeling burnt out, depressed, and unmotivated.” – Jason A. Duprat “As a leader, you have to treat people fairly, treat people well, give them the tools that they need, and foster other leaders as well.” – Jason A.
