I know from quite a few of you giving me input and feedback on social media, or via emails, that you feel conventional medicine is reactive and disease oriented and that little focus is put on trying to find and heal the underlying cause of an issue.I personally feel that much of that disappointment is justified and at the same time I feel deep gratitude for having the option to seek and get medical treatment in case of say, an accident or a horrible infection. I have deep respect for the medical professionals who work hard every day, often at a high price to their own physical and mental health, to help others.I do believe it is our system that needs an overhaul and I also believe that an ideal medical system integrates the approach of holistic medicine and what we call conventional medicine.

Transcendence Via Eros, Sexual Alchemy, The Divine Feminine And The Teachings Of Mary Magdalene With Dr. Joanna Kujawa

Throughout the ages philosophers and sages, seekers and spiritual leaders, artists and scientists have sought and in a few instances also taught how to connect with the divine. There are different ways to do so and a very powerful one is also one that has been suppressed in many cultures and times: I am talking about the concept and expression of Eros.Eros is much more than sexual love or desire.&nbsp;Eros is a bridge to the sublime and can help us achieve transcendence. And, it is also intimately tied to the power of feminine sexuality, which, coincidentally, also has been suppressed for millenia.Today's guest, Dr. Joanna Kujawa has gone on a quest to unveil the mystery and history of Eros and find an answer to some intriguing questions in her book The Other Goddess: Mary Magdalene And The Goddesses Of Eros And Secret Knowledge.Is there a lineage of goddesses that claims the evolutionary power of female sexuality? And if so, why were they pushed to the shadows and demeaned as harlots? Was Mary Magdalene one of them, and what were her teachings?&nbsp;Looking into esoteric traditions that celebrated the Goddess and her art of sexual alchemy, Dr. Kujawa set out on a detective journey and discovered that Mary Magdalene stands at the center of this investigation.And&nbsp;whether looking at Mary Magdalene, Sophia, Aphrodite, Inanna, Hathor, Isis, or the goddesses of Hinduism, Dr. Kujawa's findings about the archetype of&nbsp;The Other Goddess,&nbsp;as&nbsp;the bearer of the mysteries of sexual alchemy that ends the division between sexuality and spirituality are not only fascinating, but have the potential to redefine how we think and how we express spiritually and sexually.In this episode with Dr. Kujawa, you'll discover:-What is a "spiritual detective"?...03:45-How Dr. Kujawa discovered her femininity by revering Mary Magdalene...08:33-Why women are groomed to suppress the power of their sexual energy...13:40-Why we're fed the lie that the sensual element of sex is the only element there is...17:01-The difference between Eros and sexuality...19:45-The differences between the three primary tantras...26:24-Who was Mary Magdalene, and why is she significant in history?...33:40-Why Joanna believes Mary Magdalene was the primary disciple of Jesus...43:20-The resurfacing of the lineage of goddesses in the public psyche...49:00-How to embrace the "divine femininity" in the modern age...1:00:30-And much more!Resources mentioned:WEBSITEJoanna's personal websiteBOOKThe Other GoddessGuest's social handles:LinkedInFacebookDr Joanna&nbsp;Kujawa&nbsp;is an author, scholar, and spiritual detective.&nbsp;She received her BA and MA from the Pontifical Institute for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto, Canada, and her PhD from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.

There are multiple studies that have confirmed the incredible link between the health of our microbiome - the trillions of organisms that live in our digestive tract - and our likelihood of getting viral diseases like COVID-19. A lifestyle of low fiber diets, processed foods, little connection with nature and overuse of pharmaceuticals messes up the microbiome and makes us more susceptible to viruses than we naturally would be.There is a solution to this, though: our microbiome is constantly evolving, which means we can nurture it back to health if we are struggling and we can protect it and make it even stronger even when we are well and want to stay well.My guest today, Dr. Robynne Chutkan is a board-certified gastroenterologist and author of the bestselling digestive health books&nbsp;Gutbliss:&nbsp;The Microbiome Solution, and&nbsp;The Bloat Cure.&nbsp;In her latest book,&nbsp;The Anti-Viral Gut: Tackling Pathogens from the Inside Out,&nbsp;Dr. Chutkan shares new insights and cutting edge research about our gut and our health, as well as a practical plan for strengthening the incredible antiviral defenses located in our gut and resolving symptoms of illness.Dr. Chutkan received her bachelor's from Yale University and her medical degree from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons,&nbsp;where she also did her internship and residency and served as chief resident. She completed her fellowship in gastroenterology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Dr. Chutkan has been on the faculty at Georgetown University Hospital since 1997. In 2004 she founded the Digestive Center for Wellness, an integrative gastroenterology practice dedicated to uncovering the root cause of GI disorders.Dr. Chutkan incorporates microbial optimization, nutritional therapy, mind-body techniques, and lifestyle changes into her therapeutic approach to digestive disorders.&nbsp;Dr. Chutkan has been the medical expert on The Today Show, CBS This Morning, The Doctors, The Dr. Oz Show, The Megyn Kelly Show, and has her own PBS Special entitled “Gutbliss”.Today she will share with us her powerful and practical road map to strengthening the gut immune system.In this episode with Dr. Robynne Chutkan, you'll discover:-Social factors that inspired Robynne to write her latest book...04:30-Acid-blocking drugs compromise our immune system and gut health...09:06-The explanation of the gut and its role in our health...13:07-Innate and adaptive immunity within our bodies...22:05-Recommended tests to assess the health of your gut...30:30-A primer on the virome which allows billions of active viruses to coexist in harmony...38:10-First steps to take control of your gut and overall health...44:30-A "dirty" approach to using nature to optimize your health...47:30-Dr. Chutkan's best personal practice...54:50-And much more!Resources mentioned:Dr. Chutkan's websiteThe Anti-Viral Gut: Tackling Pathogens from the Inside OutThis Week in Virology podcastGuest's social handles:FacebookInstagramYouTube

A Deep Dive Into the Physical, Mental and Spiritual Benefits of the Vegan Lifestyle with Dr. Will Tuttle

Many of us hope that our presence will help make the world a better place than we found it. The way we go about this is deeply rooted in personal choice. One of the most profound and impactful choices I made was to switch my diet and lifestyle to a plant based one. I turned vegetarian in&nbsp;2008&nbsp;and vegan a couple of years after. Or, to be more precise, AVAP, as my philosophy is, the acronym standing for As Vegan As Possible. I found that everything I cared most about was connected to the food choices I make. With plant based food I choose animal and planetary welfare, fairer food systems and more social justice and, as far as my own welfare is concerned, better mental, physical and spiritual health. Plant based foods help me support systems and philosophies that align with my principles. The way we eat can truly be revolutionary and evolutionary. That is why I live a plant fueled life. And today’s guest is a leading mind and heart of the vegan movement.Dr. Will Tuttle is a visionary author, spiritual activist, educator, and inspirational speaker. He has been vegan for&nbsp;over 40 years and wrote the acclaimed Amazon #1 best-seller The World Peace Diet: Eating For Spiritual Health And Social Harmony,&nbsp;published in 15 languages. He is also a recipient of the Courage of Conscience Award as well as the Empty Cages Prize. Will created several wellness and advocacy training programs and is also co-creator of VeganPalooza, the largest online vegan event to date, as well as co-founder of the non-profit Circle of Compassion and the Worldwide Prayer Circle for Animals.Will has a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, focused on educating intuition and altruism in adults, and he has taught college courses in creativity, humanities, mythology, religion, and philosophy. A former Zen Buddhist monk and a Dharma Master in the Korean Zen tradition, he has delivered over 4,000 presentations worldwide, with his wife Madeleine, a visionary artist from Switzerland, to promote and inspire peace, social justice, health, animal and environmental protection and cultural healing and awakening.In this episode with Dr. Will Tuttle, you'll discover:-Dr. Tuttle's journey to the vegan lifestyle...04:30-Unraveling the hidden agenda re: the environment in the media and pop culture...12:00-How our view of food is the ultimate connection between humanity and nature...24:00-The most misunderstood elements of the vegan philosophy and lifestyle...35:30-How veganism opens up the mind to an awakened consciousness...42:00-Planting positive seeds in other people vs. trying to force your ideology on others...46:10-Why liberating animals is essential to human freedom...52:20-Dr. Tuttle's best personal practice...55:15-And much more...Resources mentioned:WEBSITESWill TuttleWorld Peace DietBOOKSWorld Peace DietBuddhism and VeganismYour inner Islands: The Keys to Intuitive LivingGuest's social handles:FacebookYouTube

Gahl Sasson On The Founding Origins of Astrology, The Upcoming &quot;Astrological Traffic Jam&quot; And Opportunities Of 2023, The Power Of Our Names, and Much More

"As above, so below."This paraphrase of the second verse of the Emerald Tablet describes the idea that what happens in a higher realm or plane of existence also happens in a lower realm. Since the dawn of time,&nbsp;humankind has looked to the higher realms of the stars for guidance, whether for navigation of our oceans and planet, or via astrology for the navigation of our destinies.Astrology dates back to&nbsp;the 2nd millennium BC, when the Babylonians developed the first organised system of interpretation of the celestial bodies and their influence on human affairs. Until the 17th century, astrology was actually considered a scholarly tradition. Famous people of science and scholars such Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton and Carl Gustav Jung used astrology to guide their lives and work.&nbsp;Do the answers lie in the stars? Today we are welcoming a man on the show who says, yes, they do.Gahl Sasson&nbsp;is an expert astrologer, storyteller, and teacher. He is a guest lecturer at USC, Tel Aviv University and teaches at Esalen, Omega Institute, University of Judaism and the Open Center in NYC. With deep roots in the ancient art of Kabbalah, astrology, and psychology, Gahl helps his students and clients interpret their past and design their future in illuminating and life-changing ways.&nbsp;Gahl is a bestselling author and his first book, A Wish Can Change Your Life, has been translated into over eight languages and is endorsed by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Sleep Hygiene to Enhance Productivity and Cognitive Function, Circadian Rhythm Best Practices, and Much More with Dr. Craig Heller

We spend about one third of our lives sleeping.&nbsp;For many of us, me included, sleep is one of life's greatest pleasures. For others, falling and staying asleep and sleeping well is a constant battle.&nbsp;But what is sleep exactly, and why must we do it every night? Answering these questions are some of the biggest and most fascinating challenges biologists face today.We do know that sleep is as essential to our life and wellbeing as food and water. Sleep is the time when our body repairs itself. Sleep, or the lack of it, affects every aspect of our lives, from immunity, to hormones, to our mood and cognitive function. A lack of sleep makes us vulnerable to many chronic medical issues and affects us not only as individuals, but as a society, considering the impact of car accidents or disasters such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Knowing about sleep and how to optimize it could literally save your life or that of someone you love.My guest today is an authority on the neurobiology of sleep and circadian rhythms. Dr. Craig Heller is an award winning professor of biology and researcher at Stanford University and has been studying why we sleep and the ways that sleep can support physical performance.&nbsp;Dr. Heller will share with us his hypothesis about the purpose of sleep, some of his key insights about how the clock in our brain works and how to harness the power of sleep.In this episode with Dr. Heller, you'll discover:-The mystery of sleep, and why we need it so much…03:30-An overview of the relatively new study of sleep…05:45-Sleep is essential for “memory consolidation”…08:01-The body is offline, but the brain is quite active during REM sleep…09:30-Circadian rhythms, and how to optimize our internal clock…11:20-How to right the ship when your circadian rhythms get off kilter…14:45-How sleep affects cognitive function and the efficacy of the immune system…18:00-Why even blind people must be attuned to the effects of light on their circadian rhythms…22:00-Technology and therapies available to assist in quality of sleep…27:00-Primary vs secondary insomnias…31:30-The sleep pattern changes which occur throughout our lives…36:00-What can be done about PTSD and “night terrors”… 44:30-Does long haul Covid affect sleep patterns?…51:00-Healthy sleep hygiene practices…54:05-Can we enhance lucid dreaming to enhance creativity and productivity?…59:00-Dr. Heller’s best personal practices…1:04:05-And much more!Resources mentioned:Dr. Heller's Stanford University bioDr. Heller's Stanford University profileSecrets of Sleep Science: From Dreams to Disorders

Rethinking Everything We Believe About So-Called “Traditional” Relationships, Emotional Literacy And The Secret Sauce For Fulfilling Intimacy with Effy Blue

Hello beautiful Superhumans. I am so happy you decided to tune in with me again. Those of you who have been listening to this podcast for a while know, this is a place where we talk about growth and transitions and exploring how&nbsp;humanity can become humanity 2.0 and how we can fulfill our highest potential in every aspect, mentally, physically and spiritually.&nbsp;I have always felt that love is at the core of what drives humanity. As I perceive it, everything is about love, the presence, or the absence of it.&nbsp;Romantic relationships are built on the foundation of love. When we look at the current discussion about defining what a relationship is, what is apparent to me is that there are so many ways to celebrate and live love and that the so-called traditional model of relationship does not work for a significant percentage of the population. When we look at divorce rates and the high numbers of individuals who live a lifestyle of serial monogamy, which not always, but likely often is an indicator of the heteronormative model not working for someone and when 49% of Millenials either have experienced or say they want to experience a non-monogamous relationship, it tells me that we need to look at the way we understand love.Are what we call traditional relationships truly traditional when we look at the history of humanity? What is the secret sauce for happy, healthy relationships?Today's guest, Effy Blue, has answers to these questions. Effy is a relationship coach and founder of Curious Fox, a community that inspires individuals to challenge the status quo in love, sex and relationships and the one-size-fits-all prescription society so far has offered us. Effy encourages and teaches us to seek and find our own expression of loving and relating, whether our love is monogamous, polyamorous, hetero, queer, asexual or whether we choose to put a label on it at all.In this episode with Effy Blue, you'll discover:-The current trends regarding monogamous relationships among the younger generations...03:30-"Traditional" relationships are a relatively new concept...06:31-Effy's process of self-discovery pertaining to infidelity and authentic relationships...11:11-Embrace your true identity by expanding your circle of influence regarding relationships...15:40-Different forms of non-monogamy...21:00-First steps to consider when you're ready to explore differing forms of relationships...26:20-Why is there such fear of the concept of "free love"?...30:00-What are the benefits of having multiple partners?...35:17-"Emotional literacy" defined...38:26-How to make time for multiple partners, not to mention yourself!...42:05-Effy's thoughts on the future of relationships...48:22-Effy's best personal practices...50:00-And much more!Resources mentioned:https://effyblue.comhttps://www.wearecuriousfoxes.comWe Are Curious Foxes podcast&nbsp;Guest's social handles:FacebookInstagram

Rethinking What We Believe to Be True About Genetics with Dr. Bruce Lipton

Our mind and the way we think is the most powerful influence on our wellbeing.The vast majority of illnesses do not start in our bodies, as the old model of biology has taught in the past. Instead, we are coming to understand that it is our nervous system that reads our environment, interprets our environment and then sends control signals to our cells, which answer to these signals creating sickness or health.Today's guest, Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., is regarded as one of the leading voices of the new biology. He is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. A cell biologist by training, Bruce was on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and later performed groundbreaking stem cell research at Stanford University's School of Medicine.This research revealed that the environment, which operates via the cell membrane, controls the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. Dr. Lipton's discoveries challenged the established scientific view that life is controlled by genes and paved the way for one of today’s most cutting edge fields of study: the science of epigenetics, the new science of how environment and perception control genes.Dr. Lipton is the bestselling author of The Biology of Belief, as well as The Honeymoon Effect and Spontaneous Evolution, co-authored with Steve Bhaerman. He is a recipient of the prestigious Goi Peace Award in Japan in honor of his scientific contribution to world harmony.On today's episode we talk about the epigenetic revolution of science, the relationship between thoughts and reality, how our minds are programmed when we are very young, how 65% of these programs are dysfunctional and how to rewrite these programs, placebo and nocebo effects, the power of positive thoughts and how the current crisis we are collectively living through is an opportunity for evolution.You are going to leave this interview feeling empowered, inspired and perhaps also a bit daunted. Because the takeaway is that we are largely in control of our destiny.In this episode with Dr. Lipton, you'll discover:-Why our nervous system, not our genes, determines the quality of our life...04:45-We create the life we're programmed to create, for better or worse...12:45-How to assess the current programming of our life...24:54-Love versus fear as it relates to real growth and mere survival...29:05-How it is possible to change the thought habits which write our programming...34:15-Training the brain to respond to positive programming...49:23-How to inform ourselves without succumbing to the barrage of negative energy in the media...55:06-A call to the individual to exercise leadership within our communities...1:07:25-Simply watching the news weakens the immune system, and Dr. Lipton's thoughts on vax mandates...1:11:50-And much more...Resources mentioned:Bruce's websiteThe Biology of BeliefThe Honeymoon EffectSpontaneous EvolutionP.S.

Former Navy SEAL Commander Rich Diviney On The Attributes Of Success, Optimizing Your Performance, Why Narcissism is Underrated And Redifining Badassery

Some people excel, even when things get tough in situations of uncertainty and instability. Have you ever wondered how they do this? How is it possible to succeed, no matter what the circumstances? Today's guest went on a mission to understand what separates those who succeed from those who fail and how each one of us can work on developing our full potential, in order to be the greatest version of ourselves.Rich Diviney has over 20 years of experience as a Navy SEAL Officer. He completed more than 13 overseas deployments - 11 of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan, achieved multiple leadership positions, including the Commanding Officer of a Navy SEAL Command.Rich was intimately involved in the world-renowned SEAL selection process, which whittles exceptional candidates down to a small cadre of the most elite optimal performers. But Rich was often surprised by which recruits washed out and which succeeded. Someone could have all the right skills and still fail, while recruits he might have initially dismissed would prove to be top performers. The seemingly objective criteria weren't telling him what he most needed to know: Who had what it took to be part of the world’s most elite military unit? Eventually, he cracked the code. Through years of observation, Rich learned to identify a successful recruit's core attributes, the innate traits for how a person performs as an individual and as part of a team. And this same methodology can be used by anyone in their personal or professional lives.Since his retirement in early 2017, Rich has worked as a speaker, facilitator, and consultant with the Chapman &amp; Co. Leadership Institute and Simon Sinek Inc.Rich has taught leadership and optimal performance to more than five thousand business, athletic, and military leaders from organizations such as American Airlines, the San Francisco 49ers, Zoom, and Deloitte. He is also the author of the bestselling book The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance. And today he shares his insights and strategies with us.In this episode with Rich Diviney, you'll learn:-What a "badass" really is, and Rich's personal history...03:44-The process of identifying who's got what it takes and who doesn't...09:00-Five categories of grit and successful team building...15:30-How to use narcissism as a positive attribute...20:21-Identifying the key attributes that will allow us to achieve great things...25:11-The "open gates" technique to calm down the sympathetic nervous system...31:15-The difference between discipline and self-discipline...33:50-Core attributes of success...37:40-What builds cohesion - and toxicity - in a team...41:45-The traits of the achievers who finish the grueling SEAL training...47:12-The biggest challenge of making a major life transition...53:05-Rich's best personal practice...56:00-And much more!Guest's social media handles:InstagramFacebookLinkedInResources mentioned:Rich's websiteRich's Book: The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance

The Nine Components of a Whole Human Experience, Overcoming Childhood Trauma, Instilling a Sense of Purpose in Youth and Much More with Dr. Darcia Narvaez

Many of us believe that the culture we live in mirrors innate human nature. But today’s dominant cultures of competitive destructive detachment are rare and recent. Nearly every other culture that has ever existed during our species history over millions of years has been one of connected cooperative companionship. We evolved in cooperative bands of kin and nonkin where we were nurtured and welcomed by all members of the community. We lived together, we gathered food together, we sang together, and we danced together. We knew it would have been impossible to survive on our own. But together, we thrived.Today, we are living in a culture that goes against everything it means to be human. Our culture emphasizes toughness over tenderness, isolation instead of togetherness, even for babies. As a result, we are depressed, anxious, chronically ill, and at the bottom of every international indicator for health. We are stuck in a Cycle of Competitive Detachment where we feel disconnected from others and even ourselves, while at the same time feeling we have to compete for anything worthwhile. There is a way, not only to break this cycle, but to create a new cycle, one that reclaims our humanity and helps us heal ourselves and our culture. We can create a cycle of connected, cooperative companionship.To heal ourselves and our world, we simply must return to this way of nurturing children and communities. And today's guest TEACHES how to restore the Cycles of Connected, Cooperative Companionship.Darcia Narvaez is a Professor of Psychology Emerita at the University of Notre Dame, who has written extensively on issues of character, moral development and human flourishing and whose work encompasses the neurology of moral development, as well as the study of evolved parenting practices.Narvaez is a fellow of the American Psychological Association, the American Educational Research Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.Amongst other, she is the author of the books Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality, and Restoring the Kinship Worldview: Indigenous Voices Introduce 28 Precepts for Rebalancing Life on Planet Earth.She is also the founder of https://evolvednest.org, an online platform dedicated to restore human nature to its cooperative orientation, its original and "normal" human heritage.In this episode with Dr. Darcia Narvaez, you'll discover:-A bit of Dr. Darcia's backstory...05:16-A brief history of humanity, and where things went wrong...08:15-How the "Western Enlightenment" has shaped the world as we know it...12:55-Break the cycle of dis-ease with the "Evolved Nest"...17:50-How to nourish underdevelopment in the brain from childhood hardships...31:53-Nurturing a sense of "mattering" as a means of thriving in life...37:27-Connecting with the "one mind" on a deep level...44:02-Rites of passage have tragically gone by the wayside in modern society...47:20-How to encourage healing in adults who have experienced trauma in the past...50:15-A practice Dr. Darcia relies on for success in life...59:40-And much more...Resources mentioned:Evolved Nest websiteDr. Darcia's personal websiteRestoring the Kinship Worldview: Indigenous Voices Introduce 28 Precepts for Rebalancing Life on Planet EarthNeurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution, Culture, and WisdomGuest's social handles:<a...

Dr. Eben Alexander On Meeting God, The Death of Materialism, The Necessity of Evil for True Growth, The Nature Of Consciousness And More

What if everything we were taught about consciousness by conventional science in the past was wrong? And what if there was proof that heaven exists? Imagine being a distinguished brain-surgeon, teaching at Harvard and you are convinced there is no afterlife. Until all of a sudden your brain dies and you are on life-support for seven days. And during these seven days you travel to the other side and meet God.&nbsp;This is the story of Dr. Eben Alexander. The American neurosurgeon’s book Proof of Heaven debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and his latest book Living in a Mindful Universe is a compelling introduction to the current paradigm shift in science, where the old nihilistic worldview where consciousness is merely a side effect of brain activity is now being replaced by the idea that consciousness is the fundamental basis of what defines and makes reality itself.&nbsp;Dr. Eben Alexander’s take on consciousness, mind, soul and love offers a compass to navigate the trying times of conflict and confusion we are currently experiencing. In this interview he not only talks about life after death, but also how to live a more meaningful existence right here and now and how his Near Death Experience completely changed his old worldview, which was until then, completely materialistic.In this interview with Eben Alexander, you'll discover:-The "Amnesia of the Divine"...02:49-How quantum physics has debunked the pseudo-science of materialism...07:00-Eben recounts his encounter with the Divine...12:45-How and when the "materialistic" worldview came in vogue around the world...21:33-How reconnecting with the spiritual realm eases anxiety and fear in this life...25:42-Prayer and living in a mindful universe...31:32-Why evil is necessary for personal and communal growth...37:40-What to say to those who maintain this life has no meaning...42:37-Ethical concerns over advances in the realm of extending our physical presence on Earth...49:25-Self-love as it relates to interconnectedness with others...54:04-Eben's best personal practice...Resources mentioned:Eben's websiteProof of HeavenThe Map of HeavenLiving in a Mindful UniverseDr. Larry Dossey's book&nbsp;One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part Of A Greater Consciousness And Why It MattersSteve Taylor's book&nbsp;Spiritual Science: Why Science Needs Spirituality To Make Sense Of The WorldPim van Lommel's book&nbsp;Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science Of The Near Death ExperienceInstitute of Noetic Sciences project on Spontaneous RemissionDr. Kelly A.
