Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

This episode is brought to you by Cured Nutrition and Legacy. What is consciousness? What is God? Who are we? What is our purpose? How do we truly heal? Prepare to navigate the mysteries of our minds and beyond with esteemed guest and personal friend, Dr. Randy Scharlach, MD. In this episode, we dissect the inner workings of our identities, emotions, and perception of life and death. Our conversation takes us from the modern science of consciousness to the ancient traditions and practices that allow us to access the divine. With Randy's unique medical experiences, we venture into the transformative world of psychedelic medicines, their profound influence on our understanding of the world, and quantum theory's significant implications on our perception of consciousness. Randy also shares his experiences as an oncologist and as a psychedelic practitioner in dealing with trauma and loss. Join us as we discuss the future of consciousness exploration! Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning ----- In this episode, you will learn... Consciousness is a complex, multidimensional concept that is intricately linked to our identities, emotions, and perception of life and death. Understanding consciousness can be a lifelong journey, but can also lead to profound personal transformation. Quantum theories suggest that our perceived physical reality might be an illusion, with the true fundamental reality being a field of consciousness that permeates the universe. The exploration of consciousness through psychedelic medicines can provide unique insights and transformative experiences. These altered states of consciousness can help individuals connect with their inner selves and can even help in transforming trauma into spiritual growth. The division between science and religion, often referred to as the Cartesian split, has led to resistance in the scientific community to ideas of consciousness as a fundamental reality. The concept of God in the context of consciousness can be interpreted as the entirety of the universe, and our individual consciousness is a part of this universal consciousness, suggesting that our individual experiences are a way for this universal consciousness, or God, to experience the world. ----- Episode resources: Save 20% on my favorite functional mushroom, adaptogen, and CBD products with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.CuredNutrition.com Save $20 on the For Today at-home male fertility test kit with code EVERFORWARD at https://testlegacy.com/everforward Get The Immortality Key hardcopy book here or the audiobook for FREE at https://www.AudibleTrial.com/everforward After Skool video Watch and subscribe on YouTube

This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Caldera Lab, & Timeline Nutrition. Have you ever wondered about the impact our ever-increasing reliance on technology has on our health and environment? This episode sheds light on this crucial issue along with repeat guest Darin Olien. Together, we unravel the complexities of electromagnetic frequencies and their implications on our health, from cellular stress responses to the foreboding reality of lowered testosterone levels. Darin also highlights the urgent need to shift towards a sustainable home and poses challenging but realistic alternatives to our daily living that will not only keep us healthier but reduce our carbon footprint and create healthier communities. Fatal conveniences are the toxic products we routinely use and the unhealthy things we do that our culture and corporations have made us believe are safe and necessary for living well and efficiently. These things—from deodorant, cosmetics, dental floss, and sunscreen to laundry detergent, air fresheners, carpets, and crayons to candles, tea bags, cell phones, and chewing gum—are ubiquitous in daily life . . . and they are wreaking havoc on our health and our planet. The environmental toxins found in these products create a cascade of problems, including chemical sensitivities, auto-immune issues, obesity, chronic health diseases, and more. But it's not just about what we put in or on our bodies, we explore the profound impact our decisions can have on our personal growth and the world around us. Darin underscores the importance of connecting with others, caring for ourselves, and living purposefully. Dare to challenge fear, choose love instead, and transform your life one decision at a time.

"How do I keep promises I make to myself?" This is a question I get asked a lot, and it's one that all of us can benefit from knowing the answer to. The ability to make and keep promises directly impacts our level of success in everything we do—whether it's a promise to go to the gym regularly or stick to a diet, to double down on a side hustle or a relationship, or to follow through on writing a book or starting a podcast. Listen in as I talk about the common reasons we don't stick to our own promises, and why we shouldn't beat ourselves up when we fail to meet our own standards. I also share four powerful tips for making better promises and seeing them through to fruition! Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights The word "promise" can be used as either a noun or a verb. As a noun, a promise is "a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing, or that a particular thing will happen." As a verb, when you promise something, you "undertake or declare that something will happen," or "give good grounds for expecting a particular occurrence or situation." Promises can quickly become too strict a commitment that holds too much emotionally-negative weight when not kept. If you're constantly beating yourself up over broken promises, try changing your definition of "promise" from that of a noun to a verb. That means committing to the path rather than the destination. It means committing to the pursuit of the goal: the process, baby steps, and small wins required to accomplish what you set out to do. We know that we can keep getting away with broken promises when the only person we're accountable to is ourselves. Take the pressure off of yourself by sharing your commitments with people you're comfortable confiding in. This not only helps you grow your sphere of accountability beyond yourself, but it also allows you to gain precious feedback from those you trust. Lean into positive reinforcement. Reward yourself only for promises you actually keep, and dismiss the promises you fail to keep. When you assign feelings of happiness, contentment, and fulfillment to small kept promises, you're more likely to follow through with larger promises. If there's a particular promise that you're continually breaking not long after making it, consider that you don't really want it. For the sake of your mental health and the likelihood of fulfilling all other future promises you make to yourself, you might want to walk away from that one promise you keep failing to commit to.

Chase here! In this solo episode, I'm breaking down why I started testosterone replacement therapy a year ago. I share my results almost 15 months later and why I've decided to stop. If you've followed my TRT journey on social media, you've seen my dosages, you've seen how I've changed physically, and you've seen how my numbers have gone up at the gym. But there's a lot that I haven't shared yet. I haven't shared how I've administered my dosages, nor the side effects I've experienced. Listen in as I come clean about my testosterone replacement therapy journey, from why I started in the first place, to specifics regarding my labs and personal regimen, and why my journey is coming to an end. Follow me on Instagram @chase_chewning Key Highlights I was determined to enter my 37th birthday in October 2022 as the best me possible. I didn't just want to look at my best. I wanted to feel at my best. I was no slouch at 36. I was doing great physically, and I felt it. But I knew there was room for fine-tuning. I became more regimented, both inside and outside the gym, but being in my mid-30s, I began to struggle with keeping up that level of motivation. Not to mention it was tough to maintain my body composition despite my increased efforts. This was why I decided to explore TRT to provide that edge. If you're considering TRT, the very first thing you should do is check in with yourself. Do a head-to-toe scan and be as objective as you can, and even a little critical, about what you see and feel. Get clear on what you want out of your day and out of your training. Compare those ideals with your current day-to-day realities. Always keep in mind that TRT is not a quick fix—not that you should ever pursue anything because it's a quick fix anyway! I ultimately decided to stop testosterone replacement therapy for two reasons. The first was that I experienced skin issues that slightly impacted my social life. Secondly, even though TRT did not negatively impact my sexual activity, I've recently decided to prioritize my fertility health over my muscle mass. These two reasons are why, after 14 months, I've begun to titrate down and eventually go off TRT completely.

I recently sat down with Eli Weinstein to share my decades-long journey to discovering and embracing the real Chase Chewning! It's a journey that reached its critical point when I turned 35 during the COVID outbreak in 2020. Like everyone else, my world was flipped on its head, and I'd started questioning deep-seated beliefs I'd held all my life. My goal? To rid myself of the beliefs that didn't serve me and replace them with beliefs that do. The one question that I always asked myself, whether or not I was conscious of it, was: "Do I feel safe?" And ultimately, that boiled down to yet another question: "Am I loved?" And if I felt no safety or love at any moment—in holding onto a given belief, in interacting with a certain individual, in inhabiting a particular room—then I gained the clarity and the courage to climb over those walls that kept me in and found my freedom. Eli and I give our thoughts on the process of living an intentional life with a full commitment to oneself, from setting healthy boundaries, to avoiding a life lived in fear of other people's opinions, to the true meaning of living life ever forward. Follow me on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow me on TikTok @chase_chewning Key Highlights We take a lot of our beliefs for granted, mainly because we lived our whole lives up to this point assuming they were fundamental "truths". But if we really sit down and think about those beliefs, we can determine which of them serve us and which of them are nothing more than destructive forces that impede our growth. When we find ourselves needing to walk away from someone in our life who no longer supports our mental or emotional health, we need to fall back on our boundaries. It's easier said than done to create strong, healthy boundaries, but we need them in order to stay in a constant state of safety, security, and love. We fall into selfishness when we rely on others to dictate our moral compass. This can be as serious as having our values shaped by other people or as insignificant as wearing certain clothes to avoid being judged in a certain way by those around us. Living life "ever forward" comes down to sharing lessons learned from significant, often difficult, life experiences with others, whether through conversations or creating content or even monetizing those lessons through a product.

Sam Visnic is a Certified Massage Therapist specializing in neuromuscular and clinical massage, as well as a Certified Corrective Exercise Therapist. He's also the host of Who Knows This?? Podcast. Follow Sam Visnic @releasemuscletherapy Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Key Highlights What is hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that uses guided hypnosis to help a client reach a transcendent-like state of focus, concentration, diminished peripheral awareness, and heightened suggestability. Sam explains how hypnotherapy and sensory-based focus can be used in therapeutic processes to reconstruct our internal experience. He notes the similarities and differences between hypnotherapy, meditation, and mindfulness. The world is so stimulating that many of us have realized we're not as relaxed as we think we are. That's why people feel loopy and out of it after their first hypnotherapy session - it's because they're actually relaxed and they've forgotten what that feels like. Once you build that awareness, you can begin cultivating more of that in your life. Sam describes how creating deep change isn't harder than creating simple change… it just requires a different set of skills. Resilience is one of the best skills you can develop to create change, maintain momentum, and accomplish your goals. People are using hypnotherapy to change the gut microbiome, improve gut health, and even heal IBS. How? Does hypnotherapy work just as well as the FODMAP diet? Tune in to find out!

Humble the Poet goes deep about all things self-love, romantic love, overcoming societal pressures, and the true value of self-awareness and vulnerability. He highlights a few concepts from his new book, "How to Be Love(d): Simple Truths for Going Easier on Yourself, Embracing Imperfection, & Loving Your Way to a Better Life". We all want a better, easier life, and we all want love. We all want to love and be loved… but what stops us from experiencing that and how can we create more pathways for love to enter our lives? That's what we're exploring in this episode. Humble the Poet (Kanwer Mahl) is a Canadian-born artist, rapper, spoken-word poet, international best-selling author, and former elementary school teacher with a wildly popular blog with over 100,000 monthly readers. He is the author of "Unlearn", "Things No One Else Can Teach Us", and most recently, "How to Be Love(d)". Follow Humble the Poet @humblethepoet Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Humble the Poet sheds light on his upbringing as a child of immigrants, from the fomo of celebrating holidays to the subtle awards for Americanizing yourself. What is society? What is society trying to pressure you to do? When you reflect on that, you begin to see the distinction between reward and punishment, needs and wants, truth and falsehoods. Why is it so hard to find love or to keep love? If you find yourself thinking that in a relationship, ask yourself: is this actually love? Love should not be demanding anything of you, other than honesty and presence. Humble shares the meaning behind his quote: "Love is the breeze, the work that we have to do is to open the sail." Vulnerability is the key that unlocks love in all forms. If you don't have love in your life, maybe your sail is just closed. How is vulnerability different than honesty? Tune in to hear Humble's answer! Humble describes why we should abandon the concept of good and bad. We're more in control of our relationship with ourselves. If we were kinder on ourselves, it'd be easier to be kinder to others. One of the biggest mistakes we make with love is measuring its value through a timeline. Love doesn't have a timeline. To Humble, it's all about creating pathways of love.

Meet the Zenchronicity Sisters as they shine light on the power of psychedelic medicine, soul work, and the dire need for a mental health revolution in America. Together, they break down the benefits of using psychedelics and how you can achieve the same mental health benefits without them. Change is inevitable when we choose to work on ourselves. Whether it's through mind work, body work, emotional work, or soul work, you're never going to be the same person you went in as. Isn't that such a freeing concept? If we dive into the soul and embrace the change that comes with it, we can go to places we've never even imagined. Megan Michelena and Nicole Michelena, aka the Zenchronicity Sisters, are plant medicine practitioners and Certified Mental Health Experts specializing in psychedelic medicine. They also co-host The Zenchronicity Podcast and offer 1:1 and group coaching to people who want to maximize their personal and professional potential (with or without psychedelics).

What are we doing well and what do we need to do differently? They describe how psychedelics have changed their lives and improved their mental health as well as why they think the future is androgynous. We focus so much on mental work and physical work that we often forget soul work. Listen in to learn how psychedelics can be used to do soul work. Intention and integration are the keys to receiving and retaining the benefits of psychedelic experiences. Should everybody do psychedelics? Who shouldn't take psychedelics? If you don't immediately find meaning in your psychedelic experience, don't try to force meaning. It may come to you days, weeks, or even months later. "When you just surrender and let go, 99% of life shows up for you, and that's integration." Why is it so hard for us to surrender and let go? The answer lies in our divine masculine and feminine.

Benjamin and Azrya Bequer shed light on how emotional intelligence, mirroring, and spiritual integration can help you elevate your relationships and co-create a healthier, more beautiful world. They offer sage advice on communicating to your partner during difficult times and their favorite tool for finding growth in the paradoxes of life. If you're ready to surrender to growth and self-love, this episode will help you do that. Benjamin "Bee" Bequer and Azrya Bequer are the co-founding stewards of BEQOMING, a platform dedicated to providing the future stewards of society with the emotional intelligence tools to elevate humanity and co-create a more beautiful world. Bee and Azrya are also the co-authors of "BEQOMING: Everything You Didn't Know You Wanted". Follow Bee and Azrya Bequer @beqoming Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Our education system, and our society as a whole, lacks an emphasis on emotional intelligence. This boils down to an inability to be in relationship with ourselves. Bee and Azrya shed light on their use of plant medicine early into their relationship during a time of doubt, fear, and insecurity. They describe the powerful concept of mirroring in relationships - how mirroring shows us our true selves and what we need to work on within ourselves. If we are in an awakening, what are we awakening to? Are we headed in the right direction? Tune in to hear their thoughts! What does it take to truly "surrender"? Can plant medicine help me surrender? "I don't know if you can truly surrender if you don't have an established relationship with something greater than yourself," Azrya says. "What's important is that you can feel the relationship with it. It's not just a concept… it's actually a felt experience." Every version of ourselves, those that we love and those that we've hated, is still inside of us today. Loving all those versions and embracing the contrast within yourself and your partner is a practice of self-love and integration. How can I communicate to my partner that their pain/struggle is not serving me or our relationship? Listen in to hear Bee and Azrya's candid advice!

As humans, we experience so many different types of pain. Physical pain, mental pain, emotional pain, financial pain… and the level of uncertainty that comes with those pains can be overwhelming. In today's episode, Sean is here to help you navigate the pains you experience in life and turn them into opportunities for growth and gratitude.

Follow Sean Pastuch @drseanpastuch Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Sean shares his definition of pain, noting the four aspects of pain that affect our responses and relationship to pain. He explains how to reduce your anxiety and uncertainty around pain, so you can make conscious decisions for how to approach pain management and/or treatment. When working with fitness trainers, doctors, bodyworkers, etc., it can be easy to not share certain information or ask the best questions. This can hinder your adherence, quality of care, and outcomes. Listen in to learn how to best explain your experience and goals to your providers and ask the right questions so you can get the best outcomes and enjoy the process. Navigating the financial aspect of pain management: Should we rethink financial pain in order to alleviate another type of pain? Tune in to hear Sean's candid answer along with what he learned from hiring a mentor for $1,000/month while he was broke. We can't manage pain, reach our health goals, or feel grateful for our progress all on our own. "The belief that we don't need help robs us of our ability to be grateful," Sean says. Sean speaks on why the biggest need in mental and physical health is awareness. He describes his own biggest pain point in life and how he's navigating it.
