You Heal You Podcast

On the latest episode Josh Trent comes on the show to give us some guidance on breath work. It is one of the best ways to calm ourselves in times of stress or anxiety. He not only gives us methods but he also explains the how and why breathing is able to change our physiology and help us stay present and calm in any situation. This episode is full of gems that will help you in your journey to better well-being from how to breath properly to ways we can use breathing to feel our best mentally. One of the gems I pulled out of this conversation was the importance of inhaling from the nose and exhaling from the mouth when we use breath work to decrease anxiety or stress. I have always just been a nose breathier while I meditate, now I know when something does not go the way I expected, I say "good" and will now breath out with my mouth. Josh has a great tool to help us with our breath work and he is giving a 25% discount to you the listener using the discount word podcast25 at checkout!

Incredible what the last two years have been. I believe they have given us a great opportunity to stop and think in our health, the health of our communities and even the health of the world, from a different perspective.

This episode is awesome! Ali is my guest today and she has been on a journey of healing that is just incredible and you get to hear all about it. We all have our traumas, some self inflicted and others not. What is most important is that we have to work through them, all of them. We have to detoxify and the pharmaceutical companies are just legal drugs that must be detoxified in one way or the other. Ali went from to doctor to doctor hearing the same thing with no answers until one doctor helped her realize who she was and the potential she had to heal and then to thrive as a human being. Ali went through so much that she is now able to help so many others with her story of healing and now thriving. She finishes the conversation with 2 specific ways to take this journey called life and make it the best personal journey possible. Unfortunately Ali was just erased from Instagram for the 5th time, I believe so the Instagram she shared on the show is not available. What you can do if you have telegram is follow her there.

I have been on the barefoot journey for about a year now. I have pretty much been barefoot only putting on shoes when I leave the house. It is a journey that will change your life for the better. There are so many benefits to it. I have written about it in my book playing in the Dirt. I know my feet are stronger and more stable and that I walk better when I am barefoot. However that is just the tip of the iceberg of what going barefoot does for us. I recommend we all live as barefoot as possible. On the latest episode I got the privilege to talk to JC where we talked all foot health and why it is so important to be barefoot. He also gave some great exercises that you can start today to bring back the natural movement in your feet and ankles. Stay active and we will stay strong! Share this the more barefoot we are the healthier we will be!

I really enjoyed chatting with James. You are going to enjoy this one. Physical health depends basically on two lifestyles, what we eat and how we move. Today our focus is how we must move. Of course we have to live in a way where we focus not only on physical health but mental and spiritual health but on this episode my guest and I are focusing on something that interests me more and more and I find more and more important - movement and not just movement but movement against weight. James has a ton of experience with natural movements with weights and he explains in todays episode not only the reason why we need to be moving against weight but how we should be moving against weight. The stronger we are the better off we will be in every aspect of our life. What James helps you achieve is that. The strength you need with the proper about of flexibility to be able to move as we should move. Not going to want to miss this episode! Share it far and wide. Most of us have been taught wrong about movement, including me at times and it is now time to learn how we should be moving. Follow James on instagram @strongman_archaeolgy where he will teach you how to move properly to not injure yourself and become the most flexible and strong person you need to be.

This was a unique experience. I really enjoyed having Ryan on, different from what you are used to listening to. It wasn't just a a conversation about health and wellness but how to better walk through this journey called life that is becoming more and more complicated. A really interesting way of how we should be seeing the world and realize that most people are just out there for their own interests, which isn't bad but what we need to do is make sure we are looking for the people that are also going to help us move forward and it isn't our job to change others and when we try it is just arrogance and ego. We talked about why we should be questioning everything. It is so important that we question who we are and what we are doing and what we believe and not get into the rut of life. If we question everything there are two things we are going to figure out and both are positive. We talked about the importance of integrity and how we must shrink the integrity gap, how to build confidence and many other great ways to be better and when we are better our health will follow suit. Ryan finishes off by giving a way we can change our day for the better today, something simple - the after action review.

I have been asking you what you would like me to talk about and I got asked how do I keep my spinal movement. What an awesome question! The spine is so important, it is what is protecting our spinal cord, in other words our lives. Organ function and movement are just 2 of the things that is controlled through the nerve impulses that pass through the spinal cord. With out a healthy spine and most importantly healthy joints of the spine those nerve impulses coming and going aren't as effective. We are mechanical, of course we are biomechanical, we are alive but we are no different from all mechanical devices. The origin of wear and tear is at the origin of movement. Our joints are what start to wear out because they are the origin of where movement is. Yes we have muscles that cause the movement in the joints but the joint is where movement is. movement is incredibly important to our spinal health and our overall health. Spinal health all comes down to movement, natural movements at end ranges. Natural meaning movements that are used to do normal activities of daily living. Our bodies adapt to the movements and positions we place them in. We have to move a lot more. We can't expect to be healthy by working out an hour a day but live behind a desk for 8 to 10 hours. We have to move more often and at end ranges. Those end ranges will slowly come back, don't rush them, most of us have lost our end ranges not only in our spines but in most of our joints. Start by just trying to get into the natural resting position completely squatting with both feet planted on the ground. On today's episode I talk about how I maintain the health of my spinal joints, I talk about. The stretches I do and when I do them and how to make them habit The movements I include in my routine and how often we should be moving The types of movements I include against weight to strengthen The importance of movements at end range of motion.

I had an experience this last weekend that really made me think about the word empathy and how we show it to those around us. As humans I believe we cannot know or feel what another is going through just by being there for them. We all have distinct lives, the way we view life comes from so many different histories, upbringings and experiences that we each see the world in a very distinct way. To know and be able to understand the feelings of what one is going through the person must have gone through the same experience or something very similar. For example, losing a loved one too suicide. Only someone that has experienced it in their life can know and feel what it is like. A person showing empathy in this situation that has not gone through it themselves can only be 100% present in the moment. That is it, just listen and be there because we just can't understand what they are going though because we haven't experienced it. The one that has experienced it does know and not only shows empathy but understands and builds a different bond with that person because of it. We don't have to understand, know and feel what others feel to be empathetic because on most occasions we won't understand, know or feel what the other is going through. What we can do is be present with them and listen without judgement, without trying to make the situation less than it is or giving solutions. The first step too empathy is to learn to be 100% present when in company with others. Leave a comment with your thoughts, I hope to learn as much from you as possible.

I am reading an excellent book called The Economics and Ethics of Private Property by Hans-Herman Hoppe. A great book on how private property is at the base of our freedoms. The State does not want private property and the less there is the less freedoms to build the lives we want. As I see freedoms being eroded now pretty much on a daily base this has really hit me hard. Our agency to choose is so important. I believe it to be the second most important gift we have received from a loving father in heaven the first being our temple, our bodies. Without the ability to choose we cannot grow and learn, but we must remember that agency comes with it consequences. I believe it to be a right, I also believe it to be a responsibility, and the results of our lives will be made with our agency to choose. Some decisions won't make a big difference but there are others that will change the course of your lives. To choose, we need the knowledge to make the best decision for ourselves and our families, this only comes from personal study. We cannot passively learn, we cannot wait for the media or the politician to give us the correct information to be able to make the best choice for ourselves and our families. As our freedoms continue to erode in all aspects of life, one being what I talk about, our health freedom, it will become more and more difficult to be healthy. To be healthy we cannot just listen to the "expert." We have to take the time to study and learn. We can't trust the experts or even history because what they say and what has been said is said with an agenda. We have to study things out in our own mind and talk about these things with our families gathered around the table. We have to stand up and not be afraid to have the tough conversations anymore, the ones that will build us. Freedom is of utmost importance and we are giving it away. We have to fight for our freedom to choose, our health depends on it. If you haven't gotten a copy of my new book Playing in the Dirt it is now available get it using this link.

Life has a way of being very tiring and unsatisfactory, it is usually due to two lifestyles. One, where we go at it too hard and burn out and another where we only go half in causing a lot of wasted time and sedentary living. Both lives are very tiring and result in feeling emotionally sick. The only way to live a life of satisfaction physically and emotionally is by just doing the best you can everyday. Being content with your best. This episode is the conclusion of a 4 episode series of how we can make our emotional well-being simple. Don't get confused with simple and easy. All good things come with discomfort, time, practice and failure. That is what makes this agreement we must make with ourselves so important. We will not be perfect but we can do our best. That will be different with every situation we find ourselves in. All you can ask from yourself is your best, nothing more and nothing less. This is the agreement that brings it all together. The first agreement That Dr. Ruiz talks about is to be flawless in our words, he then goes on to not taking anything personally and finally not assuming. If we do our best in putting into practice the first 3 agreements our mental well-being will became unbreakable and if we do our best we will be content with our life. We won't judge ourselves and naturally punish ourselves because of the guilty verdict our internal judge will declare. Our mental well-being can be made simple, if we live these 4 agreements we will heal trauma, generational trauma, our own trauma. Our words won't hurt and those thrown at us neither. We will be strong we won't get knocked down, we will get hit but we will just keep pushing forward content with who we are and what we are accomplishing. This life is waiting for you all you have to do is make a pact to yourself that you will live the 4 agreements to the best of your ability. With practice, practice and practice they will become second nature and you will be free, you will be well mentally and emotionally.

We live assuming things about others and life in general, this only causes unnecessary suffering and heartache. All the sadness and drama you have experienced has its roots in the assumptions you made and the things that you took personally. Dr. Miguel Ruiz asks us to take a moment and think about the truth of that affirmation. Take sometime today, write this down and take time today and really ponder on what Dr. Ruiz said. Last night I had a little episode of making wrong assumptions. I was downstairs cooking and pretty tired of the moment and everything else that was going on and my daughter comes down with the cat in her arms all happy ready to give him food. I turn around and see her, me, being already irritated I assume she is downstairs with the cat because she doesn't want to be in the zoom class she is supposed to be participating in. I open up my mouth and make an unnecessary drama out of nothing by saying that she is downstairs because she doesn't want to be in the class. What I should have done was ask her what she was doing and she would have answered me with what she answered me later on that night saddened by the unnecessary drama I made. Imagine what your life would be like when you reach the day where you don't assume things about your significant other and as time goes on every other person that you meet or know. The way you talk to yourself will change dramatically and your relationships won't suffer from unnecessary conflicts that are only created because of wrong assumptions. Just like I made a conscious effort to understand how I assumed my daughter was doing something she shouldn't be doing and being totally wrong, we all have to start and make a conscious effort. This is tiring at first and will take a lot of effort but as we plant the seed and continue to nurture it, it will become easier and easier to see and feel when we take something personal or assume something that really isn't or say something that wasn't worth saying. These things become habit only through repetition, conscious repetition. If you haven't gotten a copy of my new book Playing in the Dirt it is now available get it using this link.

I had the awesome opportunity to bring on the show Graham Wardle. Graham is a Canadian actor who is a great advocate for health freedom. Our health is at the base of everything, without health we can't serve ourselves and less those around us. I have been saying for a while that at least 90% of our decisions should be make with our health in mind. There is that small amount where we take into account the quality of life but over all health should be the major factor in the decisions we make daily. Why? Because our health is not one decision or 2 it is a journey that lasts until we leave this beautiful ball called Earth. To be able to decide, first we need the freedom to choose in everything we do and what our children do. Freedom to choose how we will treat our temple, our body is the strong foundation of all health. We must have this foundation to further build a wonderful mansion of health that won't crack and brake with the slightest wind or shake of the Earth. Today it is extremely important seeing all those that are metabolically sick falling severely ill to a virus with a 99.7% survival rate. We have to educate ourselves and then make the best decision for ourselves and we can only do that with freedom of knowledge and then the freedom to choose. Don't miss this episode! This is an episode that needs to be shared with all those that you care for, this is just too important not to.

One of the reasons I love to be in nature and work in the garden, remember the garden is an edge of nature, is because of all the movements and positions that I can put myself into. Those movements and positions keep my body flexible and strong. I can shovel hundreds or even thousands of pounds of dirt in a couple of hours or I can squat all the way down and poke little holes in the ground planting seeds and all these movements and positions keep me strong and flexible. Don't miss this episode with Patrick Hogan where we get into what is natural movement and why it is so important for our health and well-being. One of the nuggets of knowledge I got was that our bodies adapt to the positions we place them, the more we are in certain positions that are not natural the more our body has to adapt to them eventually causing as imbalance in muscle tone. This bit of knowledge is so important. I talk about this at a cellular level but it never dawned on me that the positions we place ourselves the majority of the time also causes stress and eventually illness. What positions are you in most of the day? Enjoy this episode and share it because this stuff is just too important not to.

Here is episode 2 of a four episode series about how we can simplify our internal well-being, really make us bulletproof to words and acts of others. Most of our suffering is done before the actual suffering and by the time the actual suffering comes it isn't even close to what we imagined. If you haven't listened to the first episode of this series go and listen to episode 240 first where we talk about the first understanding which is be flawless in your words, the reason that episode is so important is because the other 3 understandings go hand in hand with being flawless with your words. The second understanding is don't take anything personal. This one has been one of the harder understandings for me to live by. But if we can master this understanding we become immune to any unkind word thrown at us even if it is a personal insult. This episode will show you why we shouldn't take anything personal even if the person is in front of us yelling insults straight at us. Nothing that people say is directly related to us. Not going to want to miss this episode to find out how! As I always say, this is a journey, we won't stop taking things personally overnight. Our health is a journey our mental well-being is a journey and all journeys have their rocks in the road but as we continue to become used to not taking things personally we won't put our trust in what others say or do. We will trust ourselves enough to make responsible decisions. We are never responsible for the acts of others, we are only responsible for our thoughts, acts and decisions.

I have been on a journey of trying to make my health as simple as possible in the circumstances I am living. As I learn I will share with you how I am trying and of course failing but the most important part, getting back up and getting back in the fight. Make things simple, This is the foundation to a healthy body, soul and spirit. There are 4 thought processes that if we learn, relearn and learn again we can highly improve our emotional and mental well-being. In the next 4 solo episodes I will be talking about these 4 thought processes using a book that is called Los Cuatro Acuerdos, un libro de sabiduría Tolteca by Dr. Miguel Ruiz. There is a translated version called The 4 agreements. The first understanding that we must embrace and the most important is be flawless in our words. Why our words? What makes our words so important? Our words are what gives us the power to create. Our intentions are manifested by our words. Our words reveal our dreams, what we feel and who we truly are. Our words are a strength, a power to express what we think and then create the events in our lives. Words are like a double bladed sword though, proper use of words can create heaven on earth. The improper use of words create a nightmare. The way we use words will make us slaves or free us. We can say that words are like spells and we are all wizards or magicians. We can be good magicians and work with white magic or bad magicians and work with black magic. With our words we can cast spells or break spells. We cast spells with our opinions. Throughout our entire lives people have been giving us their opinions, they have been casting spells with their words. You are dirty, you are not a good father, you are dumb, you are stupid, you are ugly, you are beautiful, you are smart, you are clean, you are a good father, these are all opinions some are white magic and will brake spells and others black magic casting spells. Words catch our attention they enter our mind and they can change for good or bad our belief systems how we see ourselves and the world around us. That is why being flawless with our words is so important. We change our belief systems with words and then help others break theirs when we are flawless with our words.

This has been a long time coming. I have been wanting to do a solo episode since the beginning of the year, 4 months later, man time flies. Time is so precious and for most we don't realize how fast it goes until it is gone. We never get time back. We are in an other year but most important we are in a new day. That is what is most important, measure your life and the progress you make in days, are you just slightly better than yesterday. There is a great meme out there that shows a family walking without face masks among many people wearing face masks and one kid says to his dad. "Dad, are they scared to die" and the dad says, "no, son they are afraid to live." We get one chance at this life full of mistakes, forgive, ask for forgiveness as soon as possible, love all and especially those close to you. Let them know. lets make the best of the time we have here. Don't let a marketing campaign of fear of something that has a 99.7% survival rate not let you make the most of every moment. The only way to beat fear is through knowledge. With the knowledge we can make a logical conclusion based on what we know and most importantly how we feel about the situation. With knowledge we can take responsibility for our lives and have the courage to make the decisions we need to make concerning our health and path in life. There are also people to help us on the path and I recommend them. Seek these good people, hopefully you consider me as one of those people that can be a guide for those looking, but the decision that will be made needs to be made by the person, the person must take responsibility, this is so important in every aspect of life but especially in health. These are my thoughts on getting the covid 19 shot, first, don't call it a vaccine because it is not one, call it a shot, an injection, a jab, but not a vaccine. I recommend that you stay as far away from it as possible, don't inject yourself with something that you have no idea what it will do to you now, and in the future. Don't do it because you are strong enough to get through it in the first place, 99,7% of people will get over it and the .3% that die almost all have lived a wonderful life beyond their own life expectantly. We all die at some point, covid is probably the last thing that will kill you, and if you know someone that died from covid 19 and not some comorbidity or other intervention I am so sorry for you, I truly am, just as I am truly sorry for anyone that loses a loved one to cancer, car accidents, pneumonia, stoke, obesity, metabolic disease, age, suicide and every other possible way people leave this beautiful ball called Earth.

Ever since I started this podcast, now over 5 years ago one of my main goals was to help people return to their ancestral roots because our ancestors are the best example we have of health and well-being. Since biblical times and even before our ancestors hunted and ate meats and fats of every kind, they also gardened and grew their own food and foraged when needed. Gardening was a normal practice of our ancestors, Jeremiah the Prophet who lived over 2600 years ago said "Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them…" Jeremiah 29:5 What is so beautiful about hunting and gardening is that it is so much more than just providing proper nutrition to our ecosystem of cells. The more I learn the more I realize that the garden is more of a physiological healer where we go to be present and enjoy the moment surrounded by beauty. That doesn't mean there will be hard times in the garden, that is the only way we grow but there are ways and tricks to make the hard times a little easier and that is where my guest comes in. Jon wrote about how we can make gardening just a little more easier with over 300 ideas. His new book Garden Hacks 300+ time and money saving hacks is full of ways to make gardening just a little easier.

Health is a lifestyle and with each and everyone of us being different that means our journey to health with be just slightly different. There are some core things that must be part of who we are to be healthy and well but how we get there is unique and special to everybody. We can't put everybody into the cookie cutter and expect the same results we just don't work that way. Ryan has a great way of explaining it and that is why I am excited to say that he is the latest guest on The Wellness Farmer podcast Check out his instagram at @livevitae where he breaks down health into simple lifestyles.

For over a year now the world has been in constant fear of something so benign that it has a survival rate of over 99.7%. How is that even possible? Because fear is all the media talks about. On today's episode we take that fear and turn it upside down. We have nothing to fear, even those people that are instilling the fear. We are strong. As human beings we are capable. But that is not enough we also need to be able to chose for ourselves, and to choose we need at least two views of a situation. Well we haven't been given a second view unless we looked real hard for it. That is why this episode is so important, it is a second view of what is going on in the world. Listen and then make your decision on how you will continue but at least you get to make the choice of how you will proceed knowing both sides. Freedom is of the utmost importance. Without options there is no freedom. To be able to choose how we will take care of our bodies is fundamental. Probably the most important aspect of health. Without the choice there is no freedom. On today's episode I chat with @themalchemist about a second opinion of what has been going on over the last year. Enjoy and share this is so important!!

Adrian is my guest this week and what a conversation we had! We talked about his journey from Leaving Romania as a refugee and living in refugee camps for over 2 years to what he is doing now. Providing nutrient dense dairy to many people through grass fed Guernsey cows. What a journey and how joyful it was to hear all about it. As he states he is not raising cows he is building soil and by doing that the cows raise themselves in a healthy way. There were a lot of gems in this episode and one that I really enjoyed what the A2 gene in dairy cows. Adrian explained what it is and why it is so important to those that drink milk.

Different emotions have different frequencies that radiate from us. Those frequencies not only effect us but also effect those around us. If you have a whole community full of fear or a nation or what we see today with the COVID-19 fiasco a whole world radiating a common frequency like fear it becomes very difficult to progress. When one feels fear the creativity and problem solving capacity goes way down. The wonderful part is that the opposite also happens If as a world we drop this fake fear and become content with what we have our frequencies will be felt by those around us influencing them to also tune into the same frequency. With this frequency we evoke creativity and problem solving becomes much easier and we progress as individuals and as a whole. Choose contentment and radiate the high frequencies so we can return to who we are - creative individuals with so much potential. Don't let the media scare you anymore!

I am stoked to have Alec Zeck as my guest on the podcast. 2020 has been a chaotic year due to a fake pandemic that has been forced on the inhabitants of the world with fear and ridicule or straight out censorship when one does not follow the crowd. Alec comes on the show to share his perspective of modern medicine and the situation we see ourselves in today. Just an awesome show! Thanks Alec for coming on the show. Alec Zeck is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point where he received a degree in Systems Engineering. He advocates for medical freedom, promotes free and independent thought, unity through spirituality, and natural health. He writes about free will, the Law of One, living a healthy life outside of western medicine, balancing mind/body/spirit, childhood trauma healing, and identifying and mitigating the effects of oppressive corporate and government systems. Alex and his siblings grew up in a very chaotic and abusive household where he was physically, emotionally and verbally abused. He had very little self-worth, so he learned to externalize in order to feel. Being in a military environment with a rigorous academic schedule, gave him the critical thinking skills, discipline, structure and time management skills that he needed, but he hadn't yet healed his trauma and learned to find peace within. After graduating, multiple traumatic events transpired that forced him to turn inward and heal his childhood trauma, and by chance, he discovered the Law of One. All of this happening in such a short timeframe led him down a rabbit hole of questioning and relearning everything he had been taught to accept, particularly government, health, medicine, politics, free will and the nature of reality, to name a few. Through his writing he encouraged others to think beyond what is fed to them.

On the latest episode I talk about some stuff I am reading in a book by Mark Manson. There are things we know we should be doing but for some reason don't do them. For example exercise, for some reason we always make up an excuse not to do it, but why? If we know we need to exercise why do we not do it 3-5 times a week. Well, today I give you a reason a little more deep than just making excuses why we might not be doing the things that we know we should be doing. Great stuff!

On today's episode I talk about something that has helped me so much. You will get to read all about it in my new book coming out. But I would like to talk about it briefly today.

On today's episode, I take on a subject that is somewhat new in today's society, well at least it didn't exist when I was a kid. Screens and the internet are all over the place. There are very few places in the world where we cannot get internet. Most people think that is a good thing. I used a screen to record this episode and am using the internet to share it with you today. It has its place and it is important but today I talk about some of the unintended consequences of screens and the internet. I sure hope you stay for the whole episode because this stuff is just way to important for all of us. I also ask some questions in the episode and I hope you can take the time to answer them because I want this episode to become a constructive conversation on how we can come together and be better with the use of screens and the internet to improve our health and our relationships. Here are the questions: Is the internet making things better or making things worse? If I am using a platform (the internet) that is causing so much damage to our health and relationships where my focus is on health and the importance of community why would I continue to use a platform that is directly related to so much suffering in health and relationships?

On today's episode I talk about a couple of ways that I am able to reduce stress. One will be pretty obvious but the others not so much. Let me know how to you reduce stress because there are many ways to do it and I only give four ways in todays episode. Also there are other things I would love to return to do to help reduce stress but with where I am at geographically it makes it more difficult. The reason I talk about this today is because yesterday, which was the 24th of April I was able to do one of the things that help me be grounded. What brings me back to the reality of yes I can. For many, what I am doing today would not be the stress reducer that it is for me. That is what I love about health, yes, it is simple, there are certain things that we must do but there are many way to accomplish them. The best and easiest way to become healthy is making it as individual as possible. Check out my new video series I am doing on youtube about my mini urban homestead. Check it out here!

On today's episode, I talk about decisions and a way to help us make them. When you hear it, it might sound a little awkward, maybe even backwards but all I ask is that you give it a try and see what happens. I talk about this because I am trying to come to a decision and it has not been easy due to my other obligations. I need to stay more focused, how can I stay focused if I have to many things going on? Truly, I would love to focus on just one thing. Well enough about me, enjoy the episode!

On the latest episode I bring you an interview, which I haven't done for a while with John Vespasian, he just published a new book and on today's episode he talks all about it.

I mean that is really why we have a memory and history to not repeat what does not work and repeat what does.

On the latest episode, I take a couple of experiences I am going through right at the moment that can make me a better person, if I allow it. We all go through moments of suffering and they all feel the same, some on the outside might look worse than others but to the person going through it, it is tuff. In those times is when we are in a perfect position to become better but we need to be willing to take advantage of the opportunity and not let the opportunity take advantage of us.
