Key Takeaways: How did Keith start Paleo f(x)™ and what has his health journey been like up to this point? Keith's health journey was a coping mechanism for the traumas he didn't realize he had.

Psychedelics offer people an objective view of how that trauma happened so that they can recover from it.

Key Takeaways: Energy is everywhere! How do you tap into it? How did Kristine become a turnaround specialist? We always talk about EQ and IQ, but what about your SQ (your spiritual/soul intelligence)? How does Kristine help her clients work on their inner selves? We oftentimes have outgrown certain habits or beliefs and we're being held back from truly living from an SQ place. If you're stuck on old beliefs, you're going to have a hard time truly manifesting and tapping into your energy. Kristine has seen it take clients around three sessions before they can truly shed their past selves and limiting beliefs. People feel younger, feel lighter, feel better when they can let go of everything they've been bottling up inside! Kristine shares how her process works and how she can connect you with the right energy you need. Are there bad spirits out there? If you're not in the right mindset, you can blow holes in your auric field, and these gaps can allow you to let in lower-tier energies that drain you. You want to live peacefully within your soul's essence, but the only way to get there is by taking the trash out. Kristine shares the lessons she learned while working with narcissists. Remember, a narcissist doesn't love who they are. So, they'll do everything they can to control others. Episode Summary: Kristine can see and feel people's energies and she knows right away when something is off. People might not know it, but energy is the missing bridge between feeling stuck, heavy, lost to feeling connected, love, and aligned. In this week's episode, Kristine explains how everyone and everything is energy, how this energy can get stuck and prevent you from being fully aligned with your soul, and how you can navigate your EQ and your IQ to fully reach your SQ! Guest Bio: As a turnaround specialist in the corporate world for more than 25 years, Kristine Glein was driven every day to identify people, process, and technology that wasn't working well together in order to streamline operations and improve business outcomes. In other words, she had to uncover where the energy was stuck, what processes were creating stagnation, and what technology could no longer support the operation. Ultimately, she was responsible for discovering what needed to shift to make the energy flow better for the people and the organization as a whole. When it comes to transformational change and energizing others to meet or exceed expectations, you must have your passion (EQ) and purpose aligned (IQ), as it is only then that you are able to fully stand in your authentic power and embody your full potential. It's your SQ—your spiritual intelligence—that creates the flow of energy within you and ignites your ideas, fuels your passion, and drives your actions—enabling you to leverage your talents and gifts and share those with others to influence and inspire. Kristine's purpose for forming the GC Impact Group is to motivate individuals to access their soul intelligence to become game-changing leaders in their lives, businesses, and communities.

That means 95% of what's going through our mind is subconscious." "When you feel your mission, your vision, your values, are all aligned and you feel part of something bigger than yourself, when you can achieve that level, that's when you have soul intelligence (SQ) working for you." "A lot of people feel lighter, their face looks brighter, because we get rid of all that heavy stuff holding you back." "Our bodies are naturally wired to sense light/dark. We are in a land of duality."

Key Takeaways: Cynthia shares how she got started in the medical field and became passionate about intermittent fasting. For the first time, Cynthia started feeling better and younger and had more energy, when she started doing intermittent fasting. Cynthia shares the response she received at TEDx and how that opportunity came about. People are tired of gimmicks. They just want something to work. Women in the age ranges of 35-45 are a forgotten demographic. So many myths are out there when it comes to women and their health. People say that you can't intermittent fast when you're at child-bearing age, and will also say older women can't do it either. Cynthia gives a general 101 guide to intermittent fasting. For many, intermittent fasting is not as overwhelming as you might think! It's actually very easily achievable. Why does intermittent fasting work so well? If you drink anything sweet when you're fasting, you've broken your fast. A week before your period, you want to shorten your fasting window. This is because we're more insulin sensitive during that time. If you're not sleeping, do not add intermittent fasting until you get this under control! Important! Balance is so important for our bodies. This is not a one-sized approach. People should not be fearful to at least try this. How long should you be fasting for? What does a 24-hour fast look like? Weight gain doesn't have to be just a "normal part" of aging. It's not! Sometimes a little bit of discomfort is not a bad thing. When our bodies get too comfortable, we are not at our optimal. Your body doesn't have to fall apart at 45. Episode Summary: Cynthia helps women get more out of life through intermittent fasting. She has seen her clients completely change; not only do they lose those difficult pounds, but they end up having more energy, and way more life! In this episode, Cynthia shares why intermittent fasting is such a primal and critical part of our wellbeing, and how you can get started. Guest Bio: Cynthia Thurlow is a globally recognized expert in nutrition & intermittent fasting, highly sought after speaker, CEO and founder of Everyday Wellness Project. She's been a nurse practitioner for 20+ years, is a 2X TEDx speaker: her 2nd talk on intermittent fasting has been viewed over seven million times. She has been featured on ABC, FOX5, KTLA, CW, and in Medium and Entrepreneur. Cynthia was recently listed in Yahoo Finance as one of the "21 Founders Changing the Way We do Business." She's also the host of Everyday Wellness podcast, which was listed as "20 Podcasts That Will Help You Grow in 2020" by Entrepreneur magazine, and in Business Insider "21 Podcasts To Expand Your Mind in 2021."

Key Takeaways: Not all water is created equal! How did Patrick become so fascinated with water and the quality of it? Before Patrick discovered his passion for structured water, he would wake up with fear every day because of the stress of his job. How does the water industry work on a global scale? Water is connected to everything. Patrick recently moved to a new community and he's been choosing more and more to be connected instead of being distracted by negative media. Personal growth work and meditation really do make a big difference in your quality of life. How do you find the perfect water? Filtered water doesn't mean you're getting good water. Patrick is against removing minerals out of your water. Should you be using filters that add in minerals to your water? Filters are optional, adding minerals can be optional, but choosing which structured water device is critical. There is a connection between dehydration and emotions. If you become just 1% dehydrated, you're going to lose cognitive function and clarity. You can diligently raise your consciousness and your positive vibration by just fueling your body correctly with water. What kind of structured devices does Patrick offer? Before you buy anything, go to nature first to get the free and original version of structured water. Patrick explains how his devices work and where the crystals are sourced from. How does Patrick test his structured devices so that he knows that they work? Do structured water devices make it safe for viruses? Patrick ran his own tests to see. The water molecule is the place where your body meets all the energy of the universe. The human race creates millions of tons of toxics every year and we put that back into our earth. You can actually put your wine through this structured device and it'll taste better! Episode Summary: Water is the center and heart of everything. Without it, your body will die. However, not all water is created equal and Patrick shares why in this week's episode. There are a couple of things about water that you should consider before investing in a filtered device or a structured water device. Patrick also shares absolutely free ways for you to get connected to quality and life-giving water to help rejuvenate your soul. Guest Bio: As a financial advisor for eighteen years, Patrick Durkin learned that success with money doesn't equal a satisfying life. Called to make a difference for people and the planet, he left his first career to found The Wellness Enterprise, Inc. to create a solution to the plastic water bottle problem. Researching traditional filters, Patrick learned about the chemistry of water and then the physics of water through structured water devices. He experienced how sacred geometry, vortexing, and precious gems can naturally revitalize, energize, and purify water. He created Water Magic 101, a course designed to help others understand these phenomena. He also markets water solutions through a global network of alternative health providers. Patrick is the author of "Flow: From Pure and Safe Water to Higher States of Consciousness." As a public speaker, Patrick has supported tens of thousands of people to understand and benefit from structured water. He's been interviewed by dozens of health- and spirituality-focused telesummit, radio, and podcast hosts. Darius Barazandeh, from You Wealth Revolution, calls Patrick "the voice of water."

Pollack Quotes: "Inside the world of physics, we're not trying to remove anything. We are trying to embrace all that is and come to terms with it or even love it." "Water carries information and most often it carries minerals. It's important people get educated on the topic of minerals and make a choice for their water." "In the structuring part of your water, if you don't take care of the energetics of your water, it's always going to be a mess." "Structured water is in nature. If you want to structure your water, you can quite simply go walk at the beach or go to a natural waterfall. Go into it. If you can't do that, choose water-rich foods like cucumbers, watermelons, etc, to get your structured water."

Key Takeaways: Today's topic is all about pain. TK developed a pain-relief product that is completely natural and it works instantly. When we have an energy blockage along our meridians it is what leads to pain. How can we unblock our energy points? After years of being a pharmacist, how did TK develop his cream? Everything in our body is connected, like a computer system. There is always an emotional component of any type of pain you experience and have. TK knows the veteran population has been neglected and suffers from chronic pain. This is why he incorporated a "buy 1 give 1" veteran program for his products. PTSD can be cured. By being dependent on opiates, it shuts off so many things within your body and stops you from healing. When we look at pain, we should look at the whole puzzle instead of looking at just the parts that hurt. TK has also developed a sexual rejuvenation cream to help couples. Episode Summary: TK Huynh developed a cream to help people get off addictive pain meds and onto something more natural. As a pharmacist, he hated that he was contributing to the opiate problem and used ancient energy medicine and the latest technology to form his flagship product, MindBody Matrix's Fast Acting Pain Relief Cream. TK shares his story and how he came to develop the product, and also shares his mission to help one million veterans find peace. Guest Bio: It all started when Dr. TK Hyunh recognized his innate desire to help others stand back up. At just 10 years old, young TK — a first-generation immigrant in America — made the right choice to help a war veteran stand back up after falling out of his wheelchair. What seems like a normal act of kindness turned out to be quite the pivotal moment in TK's life. Fast forward several years, Dr. TK Hyunh lived up to his self-promise by pursuing a doctorate in Pharmacy and becoming 1 of 4 pharmacists in the world to complete a Fellowship in Anti-Aging & Regenerative Functional Medicine. With over 15 years of pharmacology expertise, TK devotes his life to simplifying the way in which you can incorporate Energetic Medicine into your pain management and total wellness routines. MindBody Matrix was born in 2012 as a bio-energetic company that uses science & integrative medicine to bring you an innovative approach to pain relief. At the foundation, MindBody Matrix and Dr. TK coexist to guide you to a more powerful mind-body energy connection and to help you manage the root cause of pain and trauma. We deliver on this core value by enhancing your understanding of the association between emotion, energy, and physical pain.

"Information is everywhere. Our heart and our brain is the computer chip." "We wanted to help our veterans. We created a 'buy 1 give 1' pain cream for veterans. Any veteran can get free pain cream from our website." "The basic thing that tends to get neglected is the environment that we're in. If we're in a stressful environment, our body will obviously take in more stress."

Key Takeaways: How did Joshua get his start in the quantum world? What is quantum energy transformation and how does it work? We suppress our energy and our emotions. Joshua was having panic attacks because he had an excess of energy. You can turn back the time by harnessing your inner quantum energy power. What is Age Clearing™? We have a tendency to keep repeating bad patterns, but you can break the cycle by releasing it. Sometimes talk therapy can take 14 years just to be able to get a breakthrough.

By tackling your emotions by the root, you stop patterns from repeating. The beauty of this technique is that you can do this any time, any place! How can we live more from a heart-centered place instead of a brain-centered place? Joshua shares an anti-aging technique that he uses in times of hardship, stress, and loss. For example, you can't be ADHD if you're operating in slow energy! You literally have control over how fast you're going. How can you create an intentional practice of being grounded? Go out and live life on your own terms! Episode Summary: Joshua Bloom used to experience regular panic attacks until he discovered his quantum energy transformation method. Timelines work differently when you're tapping into your quantum power, so much so, that you can release years of bad patterns and suppressed energy with just one session.

We are master suppressors. We're not supposed to have any feelings because that's not okay in our society." "That's what quantum energy transformation does, it processes the energy stored at the cellular level of the body that causes us to feel emotionally upset and it moves the energy at the cells to create transformation." "It can take years, talk therapy can take forever, 14 years or so, just be able to get the change you're wanting to make, but when you're in the quantum field, the rules and timelines change." "Because we released the issue, from its inception, you're not likely to actually produce that issue again, so we've stopped the pattern from continuing to happen."

Key Takeaways: How did Dr. J get involved in medicine? Despite having a lot of tools in the bag, some of Dr. J's clients just weren't getting better. When Dr. J did a genetics test on herself, so many things just clicked for her and she got answers as to why her body was lacking in certain nutrients. Dr. J suffered from depression throughout her life and when she finally understood her DNA and her imbalances, she experienced natural happiness for the first time. Dr. J no longer gets her patients to go on detox. Instead, by understanding someone's genes, she can get their bodies to go on natural detoxes. The body truly can heal itself if we give it the right tools. What's the first step to working with our genes? People are scared to get their DNA tested because of privacy issues. Her facility only tracks barcodes and no names. When Dr. J switched her diet around according to her genetics, she felt so much better. Dr. J got her genetic report from a bunch of different companies and their results were very "black or white" and the human body isn't designed that way. Certain superfoods like, turmeric, could actually make your body feel worse! If you have a genetic block to sulfur foods, a lot of strange symptoms can start to occur in your body, like itching. How do you know if you have a problem with your mitochondria? Dr. J's mother is 95 years old and she's living a fantasy life! You'd be surprised by how introducing basic nutrients into the body can literally stop cravings and addictions. What should you be aware of when it comes to histamines? Everything Dr. J knew prior to this DNA test was wrong. Listen to your body. If you feel worse if you exercise, your mitochondria could be out of balance. Episode Summary: Dr. J used to be depressed and down all the time until she got a DNA test and realized her genetics didn't allow her to absorb certain nutrients naturally. When she was able to adjust to this new-found knowledge, she felt naturally happy for the very first time.

What's best for you is going to be a lifetime guideline." "There is no one-size-fits-all. It's very important to look at your nutrients." "These aren't mutations. These are adaptations.

Key Takeaways: How did Dr. Shiroko go from being a medical doctor to taking on a more holistic approach? The first time Dr. Shiroko saved a life, it was life changing. Within the first year of pursuing her medical degree though, she hit a 'midlife crisis' despite only being in her 20s. When someone has a difficult health issue, what should you do? Think of your body as your friend rather than as your enemy. It can be difficult to think positively when you feel like you've been betrayed by your body. If you can't put love into your body, then put love onto someone else, just start somewhere! There's three key things to getting balance in your body: Hormones, nervous system, and immune system. Remember, we can't control our outer environment, but we can control our body and reconnection to the heart. We really don't notice how big of our emotions play on the immune system. When you have difficult health issues, it can be so easy to give up. But it's critical to your success that you don't! Why is love your healing superpower?

Key Takeaways: How did Marcelle get into this career field? Companies see 80-hour workweeks as "full-time" now. If you have adrenal issues, you don't have an immune system that works. The good news is, you can do something about it! But it first goes with getting into the root cause. It's important to experiment with your body and what feels right to you. Love yourself and be gentle on this journey. What's the difference between adrenal fatigue or something like the Epstein-Barr virus? What is cortisol? We don't really realize how much we overextend ourselves. Remember, if you can't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anybody around you. There is no one-size-fits-all diet out there.

NO! At 70 years old, what is Marcelle's secret? Episode Summary: It is a myth that we lose our sex drive as we get older.

Key Takeaways: Dr. Samuel helps people safely come off of psychiatric medicines. We often forget who we are and our purpose in life when we leave the womb. Dr. Samuel had spent a good part of his life in self-discovery. How can people navigate and better their mental health in today's environment? Breathwork is accessible to everyone! The universe is so intelligent that what's happening to us right now is actually perfect. How can we reverse our age mentally? How can people get out of a negative event or trauma?

The world is changing and so should you! When we choose to become intentional with abundance and coherence, amazing things happen for us. We are often in two modes, survival or creation. Connecting with nature revitalizes your energy sources and helps you become less stressed. Just listening to bird songs can get your body back into coherence.

COVID-19 has caused many of us to take a pause and take a step back in our fast-paced environment. Teri doesn't think this is a coincidence.

Teri dives into what the Wildatarian Diet is and how it's different from other diets out there. For one of Teri's patients, who was on his deathbed and could not move, his diet of chicken and broccoli was actually killing him.
