What has happened in human history that has led us to forget to tune into our powerful sense of smell. Why he feels that chemical and fragrance companies have purposely designed body care and environmental cleaning products to teach us what a scent is supposed to smell like and this has dulled our senses.

What wellness means to Dr. Nick now compared to his answer during his first interview with Josh.   Power Quotes From The Show Why Our Senses Are Numb "With our modern way of living and as we continue to separate ourselves farther from nature, it has invited us to numb our senses. We're less keen on feeling the dirt on the bottom of our feet as we're walking throughout the field and absorbing the negative ions to help destress our physical system through the process of earthing which has been a natural process for many generations before us. The way that we engage with life today is affecting our biology every day as all of these types of technology can stun our senses and some of us are still learning how to take a deep inhalation and notice the different aromatic qualities when we're walking by a tree." - Dr. Nick Berry   The Power of Grounding "We're now living a more indoor lifestyle in homes and offices in front of computers which affect our magnetic field but conscientiously engaging with nature, working with the breath, and being more present will awaken your senses. Your body is a natural resource that connects with all living things and the more that you can continue to harmonize and strengthen your physical vessel, the more your senses will heighten when you step into nature and take in all of these subtle cues as a result of it." - Dr. Nick Berry   Building Greater Physical Intelligence with Essential Oils "As we continue to work with essential oils, one of the biggest gifts that they can give us is not just that instantaneous connection with nature, especially for people that are in urban settings or aren't able to engage with nature in the most desirable fashion but if we're really listening and we dedicate a practice towards working with the oils, they can inform us of a deeper awareness of our own physical body and our own aromatic senses."  - Dr. Nick Berry   Links From Today's Show  Dr. Nick Berry breathwork.io BREATHE Essentials Pack 306 Dr. Nick Berry CV19 Truth Series: Protecting Your Health Freedom 290 Dan Brulé Trinity Blend OmniQard EMF Card Nassim Haramein Lightning In a Bottle Ascention Blend The Chemistry Behind How Febreze Works 361 Luke Storey Focus Life Force Energy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pmviUS1Zac Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Belcampo Meat Co – Save 15% on your first order with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE'!

Power Quotes From The Show Questions To Guide Your Healing "The key is to start asking better questions internally because what we ask internally our subconscious answers. So, when I was asking questions like, 'Why can't I lose weight? Why is this so hard?', my subconscious was telling me, 'Oh it's because you've had 6 kids and you have thyroid problems,' which didn't help me move forward. Then when I started asking better questions like, 'How can I be at peace within myself? How can I love myself and my children more? How is it so easy and fun to move toward a state of better health?', then my subconscious started giving me those answers." - Katie Wells Loving The Wounded Inner Child "We all have these core childhood wounds and questions in some form. They might be questions like, 'Am I lovable? Am I worthy?', or this core belief of 'I'm not good enough.' But when we can shift to see other people and ourselves as a hurt child who wasn't taken care of and wasn't loved in the way they should have been loved, it's much easier to show them love and compassion over anger and resentment." - Katie Wells Uncovering The Origins Of Emotional Pain "Start stepping back and asking yourself, 'Who is experiencing this emotion? Who is experiencing this pain?', and also start differentiating because in childhood we develop this idea that any kind of pain or struggle or hardship is bad and we start categorizing emotions and that relationship continues on into adulthood. We put emotions in boxes as good or bad but there inevitably will be struggle as part of the human condition... ...We're unlikely to get through life without some version of that but the better question is, 'Should we even if we could?' - Is that not part of the teaching of living this life? If we can step back and reframe and not go, 'Oh! Pain equals bad', but ask the better questions about where and what this pain is and who is this deeper version within ourselves that is experiencing that pain, then we have a different perspective to start to work through that." - Katie Wells Links From Today's Show  Katie Wells Wellnesse Wellness Mama Podcast 309: How I Overcame Trauma (and Lost 50 Pounds) 472: Josh Trent on Breathwork for Health, Inner Peace, and Learning to Feel Safe In Your Body Paleo f(X) The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma by Peter A.

417 Katie Wells | Healing Trauma, Wellness Mama: The Road To Self Love & Letting Go

Real change rarely comes in the absence of crisis. When we're comfortable, there's no real deep, emerging drive that is compelling us to really analyze the bedrock upon which we rest. The awakening and change that come out of crisis; a lot of the time it happens during a moment of panic so it's reactive rather than responsive. For me, the crisis that we're in now is the perfect set and setting to begin moving in the right direction as a community. We have to start reaching out to like-minded people, allowing them to speak authentically, and not feel ashamed for feeling or believing in certain things. - Ben Stewart   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE at wellnessforce.com/CURED   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 416 World-class filmmaker, writer, musician, and Creator of the Psychedelica Series on Gaia, Ben Stewart, shares why there is a silver lining in every crisis, explores the lost art of dialogue and how to communicate from a place of alignment, unpacks how to obtain critical thinking skills, and explains the downside of following the herd.

How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan 326 John Chavez Power Quotes From The Show Building a Relationship with the Nervous System "We have access to our nervous system; you can speak to your nervous system like it's your best friend - in fact, we should because when we come into a better relationship with our nervous system and acknowledge that some things seem really urgent but in what state do you want to start creating the next step? Do you want to do it in the sympathetic nervous system or parasympathetic?" - Ben Stewart Society Awaking: Opening Our Ears To New Ideas "You shouldn't feel bad for having different thoughts or believes than other people. Let's come together as a community and really listen to one another because we're all in this together. I have no clue what superpower these people gleam from believing things different from me so let's all come together, let's pow-wow, let's talk about what's good about this rather than gossiping and putting each other down. It's great when other people have different thoughts than me; I want to learn what that has done to their mindset and how they move forward in the world accordingly because of it. All of us have a gift to share with the world." - Ben Stewart Learning to Trust Your Discernment "Instead of being corned into fear by the media and relying on something outside of yourself to feel safe, trust your discernment. Start trusting your intuition because when you learn to do that then you know when something doesn't feel right. You don't have to have all of the answers or details; just move slower and be more discerning.

The incredible level of physical, mental, and emotional health that Scott's grandfather still has at the age of 88 and why it inspires his wellness journey. Why he focuses on being part of work that helps people develop and age well throughout life. The difference between focusing on living a good health span rather than just longevity. Exploring how far we have come in the health and wellness tech space for healing the human body. The benefits of Hapbee and why it's essentially the "digital imprint of a drug." [14:00] How To Digitize A Drug The various emotional vibrations from the lowest at shame and the highest at enlightenment and love. How Scott's team formulated the Hapbee technology to quantify emotional intelligence. Which 8 current frequencies are available with the Hapbee device to boost your vibration. How Hapbee has been designed to be very safe especially when you consider all of the radiation our cell phones emit. The benefits of digitizing a drug compared to taking a physical drug and all of the issues that come along with it from side effects to high costs. 401 Jerry Ross Why people like Dr. Kenneth Ferguson who invented Cialis are now exploring how digitizing drugs can benefit the human body. How they used magnetometers to hear magnetic waves starting to come off of the molecules of a drug. What studies are currently being done to see how digitizing chemotherapy can help cancer patients but it could take a decade or more with all of the studies that need to be done. Which drugs they have begun digitizing and completing safety tests for including caffeine, nicotine, and even stimulants found in dark chocolate. 312 Kevin Kelly [27:30] Hapbee for Children & Pets Who Hapbee is for and how it can help them on their wellness journey. Dr. Steven Gundry The attention Hapbee is getting in the functional and holistic medicine world right now. Who should be careful with Hapbee including people that have a pacemaker or are pregnant yet Scott and his team have not seen any issues in their studies so far. The fact that many parents are having their children use Hapbee if they have ADHD, trouble sleeping, or do not want them to use pharmaceuticals. Positive behavior pet owners are experiencing when they wear the device and their pet comes and curls up next to them. [30:00] Quantifying Emotional Intelligence Exploring the study they have done on covalent and non-covalent bonds in the body. Breaking down the technology of Hapbee even further and how it's been designed to work with and aide your body. Why the cannot use covalent bonds and only non-covalent bonds which is a free range electron exchange. Fascinating patterns they're finding in their studies where someone either feels Hapbee working right away very strongly or it takes them a couple of tries including their CTO, Sid. Why people who have done a lot of brain work like meditation and inner work for trauma usually feel the effects of Hapbee right away. 310 Ariel Garten If you have a trauma blockage and have not done anything before on your own or with someone to heal it, that can literally block Hapbee's sensations. 385 Dr. David Rabin How Hapbee's sensations have been designed to only give you a medium dosage; you cannot get drunk or high or caffeine stimulated from their device. [37:30] Most Surprising Benefits of Hapbee How products that directly stimulate the prefrontal cortex compare to Hapbee which focuses on creating whitespace and playing the quietest signal. What plans Hapbee has for their products in the future including possibly plant medicine based modulations. How Hapbee wants to keep expanding to help people with their physical and emotional wellbeing beyond just helping people feel safe to actually make your cells behave in a very specific way. 130 Tom Bilyeu The main benefits of using Hapbee in your day to day life including better sleep and focus. 384 Shawn Stevenson How Hapbee can help break poor habits and creative positive change like ending a caffeine or melatonin habit. The advantage of using Hapbee for something like an energy boost over a cup of coffee. 373 Matteo Franceschetti [51:00] Building Your Personal Wellness Toolbox Breaking down the difference between PEMF and Hapbee's ulRFE technology.

The struggles we all face in life and how they help us grow. Joe Polish Be Here Now by Ram Dass Scott's spiritual journey and why he considered becoming a pastor at one point until his theology professor told him to become a leader in the business world. His mission to use business for good and to help more people as quickly as possible. BJ Fogg The Social Dilemma | Official Trailer | Netflix   Power Quotes From The Show   Game Over for Big Pharma "Everything from our cells to our neurons is connected through sound and frequency. So, we asked ourselves, 'What if we could digitize a drug?' If you take drugs, there's a chemical bound and the potential for side effects, toxicology issues addiction problems, and it's very expensive. If you can digitize it and remove any of the side effects, you can still give people the desired altered state that will help our lives move forward, to engage with other people, to focus more, to sleep better, and more. There's so many practical reasons and if you can digitize a drug, it's game over for Big Pharma." - Scott Donnell An All-In-One Support Tool "Hapbee is a tool and we're not going to fix everybody's problems but what we can do is be right there as a perfect assistant for you when you need it quickly. Think of it as an easier version of a sleeping pill and something that helps you with your energy levels in the middle of the day and can also give you that nice Happy Hour relaxed feel all in one. You don't have to go cold turkey from everything in your life, but this is at your side when you need it right away." - Scott Donnell Wellness Is Freedom "Wellness to me is waking up every day and being able to do, think, believe, say what I want to that day and not be restricted. Whether it's going on a walk or hanging out with the people that I love, that's wellness at the end of the day - it's freedom." - Scott Donnell Links From Today's Show  EMulate Therapeutics Mind Pioneer Podcast with Scott Donnell 361 Luke Storey 389 Dave Asprey 401 Jerry Ross 312 Kevin Kelly Dr. Steven Gundry 310 Ariel Garten 385 Dr. David Rabin 130 Tom Bilyeu 384 Shawn Stevenson 373 Matteo Franceschetti Dr. Drew Pinsky Jim Kwik NutriSense 397 Kara Collier 403 Robb Wolf 40 Years of Zen Joe Polish Be Here Now by Ram Dass BJ Fogg The Social Dilemma | Official Trailer | Netflix Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Belcampo Meat Co – Save 15% on your first order with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE'!

415 Scott Donnell | Beyond Big Pharma: Digitizing Drugs & Choosing How You Feel With Wellness Technology

Healing the mind is really about integration and in reality, any time we need to go through a healing process it's because there are parts of ourselves that we have divorced ourselves from. There are childhood wounds, there is trauma, there are unresolved emotions that we try to divorce ourselves from and try and bypass which creates a lot of stress in the body and the psyche. The healing process is really bringing those parts home; bringing the wounded child home and resolving this trauma or that relationship.” – Greg Schmaus  Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE at wellnessforce.com/CURED   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST* Wellness Force Radio Episode 414 CEO of 4D Healing, Holistic Health Practitioner, and Creator of Healing The Mind, Greg Schmaus, returns to explore how humanity has grown because of CV19, what the peace paradox is, why pain is our greatest teacher, how to honor our four internal seasons, and the three biggest reasons why we self sabotage.

Listen To Episode 414 As Greg Schmaus Uncovers: [1:30] How Humanity Has Grown Because of CV19 Greg Schmaus 4D Healing 356 Greg Schmaus Greg's own experience having COVID-19 and what lessons he learned from it including how to reground and connect with nature again. How COVID-19 sped up global awakening and specifically higher consciousness for people like Greg. Why the pandemic was an opportunity for us to shine light on our underlying fears and wounds. 345 Zach Bush MD 362 Zach Bush MD Paul Chek | All Is God CHEK Institute Greg's purpose to help the awakening of consciousness and to really help coach people during their healing journeys. Why everything is here to help us; even our challenges are opportunities to really grow. Greg's own healing journey and how their mutual friend, Paul Chek, helped guide him. [12:30] The Peace Paradox Why we cannot rely on other people 100% to help us heal, we have to do the work ourselves. How we can quiet the mind and find the stillness within and why it can be complex day to day. What the mind does to protect us when we have experienced trauma, rejection, and abandonment. How we actually end up wounding ourselves when the mind tries to protect us from emotional pain. 366 Mark Wolynn What you need to know to help you fully prepare for your journey of healing your mind. Why the health of the mind is so dependent on the health of the body. The power of sitting in the eye of the storm and deeply surrendering to your emotions and what is going on around you. Exploring this dance of polarity we are experiencing at high levels in the world today and how that impacts our psyche and stress levels. [24:30] 3 Reasons Why We Self Sabotage How Greg has built his program, Healing The Mind, for a 3 week process starting with the foundation of healthy lifestyle practices. Why starting with the physical foundation of health focusing on sleep, nutrition, and movement is so important before doing the deeper emotional work. The addiction to complexity some people face as they try to skip over the simple yet important health fundamentals to get to the hard stuff because “that's where the answer has to be.” Breaking down the 3 reasons why we self sabotage: fear, limiting beliefs, and unresolved emotional wounds. Why so many people have a fear of healing and they actually get their needs met by not healing such as receiving love and support for the first time because of a health crisis. How we become addicted to a crisis or playing the victim. Why some deeper health issues need to be resolved like your relationship with food before you begin to heal with a healthy diet. [31:30] How Pain Guides Our Healing Unpacking the war between the head and the heart plus their relationship towards pain. Why healing can only happen when the head and the heart are fully aligned and you can commit to your wellness journey. How vocal expression plays a big role in aligning the head and the heart. Common causes for the head and the heart to become out of alignment. Why finding a big enough dream and purpose for yourself will help you find your inner compass. How the Pain Teacher works as a feedback mechanism and utilizes your inner compass as an opportunity to awaken your consciousness and help you grow. Why playing the victim is essentially denying divine creation. The fact that there is a light and a shadow side to each archetype including the victim. Matt Kahn Why our personal healing is also helping the collective heal on a grander scale as we break generational and society patterns. How God is exploring it all through our individual experiences: relationships, emotions, trauma, potential and so on. [43:30] Mental Health Opportunities Why so many people, 85-90% of Americans in Greg's opinion, are facing moderate mental health issues. How we can switch from focusing on mental health issues to mental health opportunities. Why we'll never resolve our stress or anxiety if we spend all of our time trying to get rid of it and pushing it away. Josh's severe pornography addiction that he worked on for 25 years and why fighting it didn't help but doing the inner work to love his addiction and fear is what helped him. How to know if you truly have an addiction to something whether that is porn, alcohol, social media etc. Greg's past addiction to exercise to feel valued and protect himself even though he felt more and more depleted. Why many of us have so many unhealthy addictions and attachments without realizing it. The 1 question Greg asks people to help them uncover their addiction(s). [50:30] Honoring Our Internal Four Seasons The fact that humans are wired to follow a seasonal rhythmic pattern both nutritionally and also emotionally. Why the opposite of addiction is connection – either connection to self or connection to others. Dr. Gabor Maté Exploring what the seasonal rhythms are and why we ignore them. How Greg's program integrates all of the seasons of nature in the final third week of his program. Why we get off track with the seasons because the human mind has created this construct of linear time: past, present, and future which is an allusion. Nature's cyclical time construct and why it is not linear at all. Why the four seasons exist inside of us and even in a 24 hour cycle. How humans have become addicted to the internal summer season of go-go-go, create, and grow to the point that we've ignored the spring and fall seasons. What addictions we turn to when we try to keep in one season instead of naturally building a balance within. Why we become so addicted to the summer season because we need the external world to validate and approve of us. Rumi Rumi Quotes & Poems [1:02:00] How To Start Your Healing Journey What causes people to ignore the pain teacher for so long. Why Greg started listening to his pain teacher so early on in life in his late teens and early twenties. Times when Greg wasn't yet ready to listen to his pain teacher and would turn to addictions to bypass that inner work. Why sometimes we have to get to the point of being so uncomfortable that we don't have any more options but to start the healing journey. How Greg learned to sit in “the eye of the storm” and have some of his most spiritual experiences while fully surrendering to his deepest pain. The benefits you receive every single time you re-listen to different interviews at various times in your wellness journey as you continue to grow and change. Why and how to become really connected to your truth and live in full alignment with that rather than outsourcing your truth to the government, social media, and the healthcare system or even what Greg says. How inner child wounds keep us from healing the mind as well as connecting with and living our truth. Why it's now your job, as an adult, to offer yourself what you didn't receive as a child. What wellness means now to Greg since his first interview with Josh on Wellness Force.

The healing process will then focus on stacking the head and the heart on top of each other through the expression of using your voice. What's between the head and the heart is the throat so how you express yourself and your needs and your values as well as how you set healthy boundaries and live fully in alignment with all of that is one of the most important pieces for healing. People are sick because they've given themselves away so much; they've fragmented, they've divorced, they've wounded themselves out of the fear.” – Greg Schmaus Moving Past The Crisis Mindset “What is your dream, what is your purpose, what is it that you really want to create for yourself? When you have a dream, you have a purpose. You have some sort of objective and an inner compass. When you know what direction you want to go in and what you want to create for yourself, you no longer have interest in creating what you were before which was your crisis.” – Greg Schmaus Pain: The Catalyst For Growth “The pain teacher utilizes crises as an opportunity to awaken your consciousness and to grow yourself. Pain is a feedback mechanism. Pain in the body is mirroring back to you your choices, behaviors, and belief systems that are no longer serving you.”  – Greg Schmaus Links From Today's Show 4D Healing Healing The Mind: A Journey To Wholeness 21 Day Guided Program 356 Greg Schmaus 345 Zach Bush MD 362 Zach Bush MD Paul Chek | All Is God CHEK Institute 366 Mark Wolynn Matt Kahn Dr. Gabor Maté Rumi Rumi Quotes & Poems Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Belcampo Meat Co – Save 15% on your first order with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE'!

Every dream, job, profession, school or anything that is tied to the stripping of rights, sovereignty, or freedom has to be questioned at this point.

Listen To Episode 413 As Dr. Stanton Hom Uncovers:   [1:30] The Civil Rights Movement Of Our Time Dr. Stanton Hom Future Generations The Future Generations Community Future Generations Podcast The modern day segregation we are witnessing when it comes to medical records and our privacy. Heightened levels of oppression and tyranny happening in our society with the example of vaccine passports. Why segregation by vaccine is the Civil Rights Movement of our time and how it compares to segregation by gender and color. The Asch Conformity Experiments The fact that our medical records are all protected under the ADA yet businesses and organizations are illegally asking to see our vaccine records. Why many Holocaust survivors are speaking out against segregation by medical product. Unpacking what is happening in society today with this medical cartel and people being called to rise into a level of humanity and purpose that we've never experienced before. Dr. Stanton's experience growing up in a family that immigrated from mainland China and Taiwan during a time of the Chinese Exclusion Act. Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl Why we need love than ever now to help us hold people accountable for their acts of segregation in 2021.   [18:00] Mass Media's Psychological Warfare Zach Bush MD Instagram post - Part 1 Zach Bush MD Instagram post - Part 2 345 Zach Bush MD 365 Zach Bush MD The psychological warfare we see every day in the media's propaganda and how it's turning us against one another. Unpacking the medical cartel's brainwashing agenda. Why 1910 is one of the most pivotal years in medical history with the Flexner Report and the auditing of all medical schools for how much the chemical industry had inflexed the students' training. The Flexner Report of 1910 Wilk v. American Medical Ass'n case What the Wilk vs AMA case is and how it still affects chiropractors like Dr. Stanton to create division in the health and wellness community today. The immense amount of real-time infiltration and cartel in numerous governments all for profit and control.   [29:30] The Medical Cartel Revealing who the medical cartel is that is profiting from CV19 and medical products. Why these influencers and medical doctors will say something under one umbrella whether that's the US government, CDC, or NIH but something different before or after they're time with these organizations. The marriage we see in the medical cartel between Big Pharma, Tech, Government Leaders, and Public Health Officers. Dr. Mercola's Total Health Program Backlash that Dr. Stanton and other health professionals like Dr. Mercola and Dr. Sheri Tenpenny have received. The important process of informed consent for whatever medical decision people decide to make. What outcome of our current medical system Dr. Stanton is seeing in adolescents today which many of them have a chronic illness, a learning disorder, or a special need. Exploring the question of 'Why is our government and the media only fixated on the negative numbers with COVID-19? Why don’t they share the recovery rates? Why do they change the numbers from ‘deaths’ to ‘cases?’ Dr. Stanton’s curiosity of why we would force anything on our children such as face masks or vaccines if there is an over 99% survival rate.

Why are the numbers always bad numbers and fear numbers? Why do they always change from deaths to cases? From the very beginning of CV19, I planted this message in my patients: 'Guard your mind, guard your heart, guard your spirit from the fear and the anxiety because it's coming." - Dr. Stanton Hom     The Impact of CV19 on Future Generations   "If children have this virtually 100% survival rate at this stage, why would we force anything more on them? From a clinical perspective, a fall out 10, 20, 30 years from now can exist. When some of these young kids are starting to grow their own families, and they're riddled with fear and anxiety that their healthy bodies can harm or kill a loved one - anyone random, unassuming person on the street- that belief system is what I stand wholly against today." - Dr. Stanton Hom     The Pilot Light of the Human Spirit "We are as a species undergoing the greatest form of generational trauma that we will ever know in humankind; I hope that we will ever know. What I know at the depths of our soul is that the human spirit sometimes feels like it's crushed - like it's completely extinguished but it's always a pilot light, it's always there and always has a potentiality otherwise we wouldn't be talking, otherwise we wouldn't be alive. Because it has the potential to be stoked into a greater flame - it's all going to come from community." - Dr. Stanton Hom   Links From Today's Show The Future Generations Community Future Generations Podcast The Asch Conformity Experiments Chinese Exclusion Act Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E.

I know for me if I don't get a good night's sleep, I feel terrible the next day. Imagine what that is like for people to suffer from not enough quality sleep every night; it's devastating and it can lead to health issues like diabetes, heart attacks; you name it. Lack of quality sleep is really bad for your health." - Amir Reuveny   Creating a Sleep Action Plan with Wesper   "After we told my father that he has sleep apnea, I was really anxious about what that means for me as well and whether or not I should wear a CPAP and about the next steps. This is also when we started moving our focus on the patch and sensing technology alone to more of a platform to help people not only get their results in an easy and seamless way but also an action plan and start implementing it with our support at Wesper." - Amir Reuveny   Treating The Two Types of Sleep Apnea "Within sleep apnea, you have two main types; one is central sleep apnea and the other is obstructed sleep apnea. Central sleep apnea is basically your brain controls and stops providing commands to your lungs to breathe during the night but this is less common - only 10-15% of the cases. The more common sleep apnea is obstructed and is caused by the obstruction of your airways. Some causes can be the tongue muscles relax during the night especially if you sleep on your back or the narrowing of the airways sometimes when you gain weight. If you have sleep apnea the important thing is to identify which type so you can treat it specifically." - Amir Reuveny   Links From Today's Show Amir Reuveny 125 Dr. Kirk Parsley 397 Kara Collier | Nutrisense OURA Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Belcampo Meat Co – Save 15% on your first order with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE'!

 Creativity has the capacity to surprise you. If you're washing dishes the same old way for the 365th time this year, there's not much learning going on there but if you shift your attention - let's say you're in a zen monastery and there washing has a different significance; it's about being present with each dish and with the task at hand. Even if washing dishes doesn't seem like a meditative experience, it is in that context. - Gay Hendricks   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE at wellnessforce.com/CURED   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 411 Best selling author of The Big Leap, Conscious Loving, and his latest, The Genius Zone, Gay Hendricks Ph.D, returns to share how you can love your fear, spark gratitude through creativity, unlock inner peace, and use the power of consciousness for weight loss.   Are you living your genius?

Why we ourselves our Creators whether that's with ourselves, our partner, or with the Divine. How Gay would define the word, "creation," and what it means to him at its core. What you can do to spark creativity and be more present every day even with tasks like washing dishes. Why our own wellbeing has a huge impact on our thoughts and emotions with different activities. The most important thing for Gay: to expand every day in love, gratitude, appreciation, and abundance while he's facilitating and helping people to do the same.   [15:30] The Power of Consciousness For Weight Loss Finding Joe | Official Trailer How we can move past trauma and negative thoughts in order to enter the genius zone. Gay and Josh's experience gaining weight during stressful moments as an external padding. What helped Gay get on the right path towards greater wellness and healing.

Questions you can ask yourself today to help you realize what you really want out of life before you are on your deathbed   [26:00] Learning How To Love Your Fear One of the biggest takeaways Josh had from his first conversation with Gay: "You have to learn how to love your fear." Why it is so hard for people not to love themselves and it is one of the biggest challenges they may face in life. How negative speech has such an impact on children's self esteem as early as the ages of 3-5. The power we have to either feed the positive "wolf" or the negative "wolf" in our minds. Why we get in the habit of putting so many negative thoughts in our head and how to turn that around. What steps you can do to get more and more into the Genius Zone every day and let go of the negative thoughts in your head. Why our late thirties and early forties are an especially crucial time because "the personality that got you to 40, isn't the same that will get you to 80," as you unlearn and grow. The power of identifying where you feel fear in the body when that emotion comes up in different moments. How fear can block our experience of life if we allow it to always be present.   [36:30] Freeing Up Mind Space for Genius to Emerge Why trying to control everything actually leads to big issues and how we can begin to let go of that habit. How Gay let go of trying to control his weight and placed his attention on what he could actually control like food. Why the biggest barrier block on our path to genius is a habit of fear based negative thinking. How to learn to love yourself by asking yourself who is someone that you know for sure that you love. Why peace of mind will only come in through full awareness of what is happening within your mind and body. Our incredible connection to the universe, everything, and everyone. How to create space to allow your energy of genius to flow. Why we just give more and more energy to negative thoughts as we continue to criticize them. The importance of not staying in a positive only or negative only mindset but trying to be more neutral and observant of our thought patterns.   [51:30] How To Grow Past The Ego What helped Gay better understand relationships by thinking about the 3 things he wanted and the 3 things he didn’t want in them. The moment Gay realized that he and his partner were in this continuous loop of having the same argument over and over by neither of them being honest and transparent with one another, always blaming each other, and her not allowing him to have a space every day for his creativity to flow. How the ego can get in our way of creative flow and how Gay defines this word. Why our early childhood experiences have such a great impact on who we grow up to be, our thoughts, and our habits. The fact that your personality is made up of two factors: 1) Everything that you do to try and please other people and 2) how to avoid pain. What the unconscious mind does to try and avoid pain and “losing at the game of life”: Get sick and have accidents or not play the game and be apathetic. Why amazing things will happen when you grow and go beyond the two factors of your conditioned childhood personality. How the ego comes into play as that part of you that is busy always making other plans as life goes on.   [1:07:30] How to Commit to Your Genius The power of commitment to help you move forward with positive change. What you can do to commit to your genius every day. How consciously committing and saying, ‘Yes,’ to your genius will invite barriers so you have the chance to overcome them. His work with helping people say, “Yes,” to their genius and overcome their egos becoming angry when barriers come up. How old emotions can easily be experienced when we are moving through new transitions. What “tall poppy syndrome” is and how it keeps people back from fully stepping into their genius. What wellness means to Gay now compared to 5 years ago from his first interview with Josh.

The problem with fear is our attempt to control it. There is rational fear like when you're walking alone in a parking garage and irrational fear like when you're making love with your beloved and your mind is still back in the parking garage. That's a problem because then you're using your fear as a way to block your experience of life. To love your fear, the first thing we need to do is simply acknowledge our fear and let ourselves open our hearts to it rather than try and squeeze it out or our bodies." - Gay Hendricks   The Power of Positive Thinking   "Often the most powerful first positive thought you can have in any given area is, "Okay, I commit now to bringing forth my..." and you fill in the blank. Whether it's your health goals, your true creativity, or your genius, commit to it so that you feel this energy and inspire other people. Those kind of positive thoughts are the place to start any new pattern from because they cancel out all of the other things. Once you put in this new idea, your mind will automatically start to naturally go to it. Until you do that though, your mind will automatically go to the least painful, negative idea and start working down from there. The universe is very happy to teach us with the tickling of a feather or hit us with a cosmic wham." - Gay Hendricks   How to Unlock Inner Peace & Creative Space     "Fear is hard to love at first because you've been pushing it out of it body for so long; when something hurts you, you want to get rid of it quickly but with fear it works the other way around. Peace of mind comes only through full participation with what's going on in your body. For peace of mind, you have to admit and allow into your mind fear, anger, sadness - all of those negative emotions. We make the mistake of thinking there's one faucet called, 'pleasure' and one faucet called, 'pain,' but there's only one true faucet and that's called, 'awareness...' ...You turn up the faucet of awareness and life - big life starts to come at you. Sometimes that life has fear, anger, and sadness in it but what's also coming is the power of this awesome life energy that we all have access to; we all have access to this enormous creative presence and space inside us." - Gay Hendricks   Links From Today's Show  The Genius Zone: The Breakthrough Process to End Negative Thinking and Live in True Creativity by Gay Hendricks 055 Love Vs.

Why we first start with the physical training in order to help get the body get in balance. The power of training the mental, physical, and emotional factors at the same time with a team. Key differences and benefits of training with a team compared to on your own. Why the individual way of being that we have been taught as Westerners in the USA is not beneficial and we need community.   [46:30] Transitioning From “Me” to “We” in Your Wellness Tribe What ethnocentrism is and how it helps you put the needs of your team before your own plus why we are comfortable with this in a family setting but not others. Why it’s vital to meet your needs first before those of your teammates as a way of cultivating emotional intelligence. Unpacking the emotional baggage we carry in the subconscious mind.

How you can resolve all of your past karma and generational trauma and patterns but it requires commitment to your training. Why the emotional component of meditation was missing when it was brought to Western society. How to begin removing the things, people, and obligations that are no longer serving you. The fact that pain and suffering is part of the experience of our spiritual selves having a physical experience while alive.   [1:07:00] Building Consistent Wellness Practices How physical training has become something that Mark loves to do and so it is a big part of his day-to-day life compared to what other people might do to also get the benefits of physical exercise. Why the mental and emotional parts of being actually don’t take up a lot of time; you can take 20 minutes in the morning for breathing, meditation, and visualization each day. The incredible benefits of doing a little bit of wellness practices every day instead of doing something like 5 hours of it straight on a Saturday. People with Neurodiversity features may spend a lot of time trying to adjust to their work environment. They may need to manage their social impressions or find ways to block out distractions.   [1:11:30] Letting Go of Shame & Other Low Energy Vibrations Letting Go by David R. Hawkins Exploring the different levels of emotions and why the lowest vibration begins with shame. Why shame is what is making the most money in marketing and is keeping people in jail mentally and spiritually. How shame is driving the division we see in society as far as different political views and being a “good boy or good girl” with lockdown and face mask protocols. Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior by David R. Hawkins The Eye of the I: From Which Nothing is Hidden by David R. Hawkins How to tap into low vibrations such as shame with the tools of shadow work and deep mind-body work.

What you can do to stop feeding the “wolf of fear” and begin feeding the “wolf of courage.” The power acts of acceptance and forgiveness which are at some of the highest levels of vibration behind love. Why change happens when we begin to focus on shifting our mindset and consciousness but only if we are spending our attention wisely.

Why so many people are facing dark thoughts about the future because they haven’t yet trained the mind for a positive shift. The fact that Mark is seeing more and more people in their 40s and up really taking charge of their health and spirituality. How younger generations are being raised by higher conscious parents and that is positively impacting life around us. The positive tipping point he believes we will experience between 2030 and 2040 after all of our collective work to heal and cultivate greater consciousness for humanity.

When that day is over, it's like a metaphorical death. You're done with that day but you could be done with your life so go be happy. The only way to know that you had a life well lived is to commit to your evolution and to do the best you can every day. The more nuanced you become with your practice, it becomes every minute and then every second. Then it becomes every moment to moment... ...You become so present and so aware that every thought and emotion that comes up, every experience you have, every interaction you have is an opportunity ask, 'How can I use this moment to evolve and serve?' so that it becomes part of your everyday awareness and perpetual flow state." - Mark Divine   The Five Mountains of Wellness   "Wellness is a journey, not a destination. It is easy for people to fall off of the path when they hit those major obstacles and this is when the other mountains, Spiritual and Intuitional, come into play with the Physical, Mental, and Emotional. Acknowledge what is blocking you, lean into it but don't stop your other training. Keep going to the gym, journaling, eating healthy, and doing your box breathing practice. If you fall off your rituals, just get back on and continue the work." - Mark Divine   The Training of Unbeatable Mind     "The training of Unbeatable Mind is really powerful because when we train ourselves physically, mentally, and emotionally, what we're doing is working to connect and integrate all those physical aspects of the mind: the brain-brain, the heart-brain, the belly-brain, and the body-brain. Then we're also working simultaneously to expand our perceptions so that we begin to experience the mind independent of the body as well. Those are the first 3 of the 5 Mountains." - Mark Divine     Links From Today's Show  086 Creating The Unbeatable Mind With Mark Divine Sealfit Unbeatable Mind Mark Divine's Books Unbeatable Mind Podcast with Mark Divine Mark Divine Instagram | Morning Rituals, Courage, Facing Fears, Witnessing and Relationships A DEEPER WHY Josh Trent's Journey Thru SEALFIT 20X-12 Hr.

At twenty-six he graduated as Honor Man (#1-ranked trainee) of SEAL BUD/S class number 170. Mark served for nine years total on active duty and eleven as a Reserve SEAL, retiring as Commander in 2011.  His leadership of teams was so effective the government tasked him with creating a nationwide mentoring program for SEAL trainees.  Not only did it increase the quality of SEAL candidates, it reduced BUD/S attrition rate up to five percent.   A New Kind of Fitness Company What made Mark’s program so effective was his focus on more than just physical fitness.  He’d seen laughter conquer fatigue and bond teams at their BUD/S breaking point, intuition save his men during the hell of war and special ops missions.  He knew he could form a fitness company that prepared civilians for the physical AND mental/emotional demands of  Navy SEAL-like lifestyle.  So he started SEALFIT.   Entrepreneur, Professor, and Unbeatable Mind At the same time SEALFIT was beginning he co-founded Coronado Brewing Company, built www.NavySEALs.com, the leading website for SEAL gear and information, and launched US Tactical, a government contracting business.  He also served as adjunct professor of leadership at the University of San Diego before the Navy called him up for duty in the Iraq War. Through Mark’s teaching, entrepreneurial endeavors and travel to foreign countries, he noticed the power of mental toughness, emotional resilience, intuitive leadership and a healthy spirit for anyone wanting breakthrough performance.  They weren’t solely for combat or restricted to the business world or one culture.  He’d watch them transform lives in people from every background, nation and belief system.  So he wrote and self-published his first book, Unbeatable Mind, in 2011 and launched its at-home study program.   More Writing and a Continuing Journey Three more books poured out in a torrent…  The Way of the SEAL, published by Reader’s Digest, and 8 Weeks to SEALFIT and KOKORO Yoga, both published by St. Martin’s Press.  Writing his experience for others triggered a realization of his own full-circle journey… Grown up in upstate New York, a degree in economics and an MBA from NYU.  He’d prepared for life as a high powered CPA… and then left his high paying finance career for the adventurous life of a Navy SEAL officer.  Now he’s once again sought after by those same corporations and institutions, as a trainer of the mental toughness and the whole person training that shaped, and healed him. Mark lives with his family in Encinitas, California, where he continues to train, explore, learn from others and generate more resources to improve the lives of everyone he meets.   Build Immunity.

Hey, it's Josh from Wellness Force, and this is a special solocast. It seems that not a moment goes by in the mainstream media that is projecting people into fear. I know you feel this. If you yourself have felt the pull of the ancient brain, the amygdala, that has literally pulled you into fear, this solocast is for you and this solocast is for anyone who has become what I believe is a victim of intellectualization. How many of us have searched the world going from book, to PDF, to podcast, to lecture, to lesson, to curriculum, to certificate, to doctorate, to training, to workshop only to feel incomplete? Because all of these modalities, all of these training platforms, learning platforms, they all do their very best, but they're all missing one very important key, and that is access to the heart. Yes, we know that sometimes for many of us, most of the time in this modern world, that the largest space is between the head and the heart. So with good intentions, so many people fall into the great trap, the great trap of the 3D world of the modern world, and that trap is to intellectualize our healing and to intellectualize our being.   Josh Trent (1:27): Now, look, I'm not here to say that the mind or being an intellectual is wrong. Actually, intellectualizing and using the mind to discover and learn and be curious is a beautiful vehicle for discovery, but it is only a vehicle and a vehicle cannot run without gas, without fuel, and I believe that the fuel of the mind is the heart. The fuel of the mind for a whole and complete embodied human is the heart. So how do we escape the clutches and the traps of being a victim of intellectualization, especially right now with people being in fear about vaccines and mask-wearing and all these things? We take a breath and we escape it by letting go. We let go of having to repeat phrases we've heard like, "Love won't pay the rent" or "You're just a hippie sitting around a fire, talking about how love is all there is," but the most beautiful and the most polarizing thing is that love is all there is. So when the rent is due, that's love. When your bills are being paid, that's love. When you're seated before the beauty of a majestic tree with the sunlight kissing your shoulders, that's love. Because nothing on planet earth is not love. Therefore, all is love and all is God. So God is love and God cannot be intellectualized. God can only be felt with the warmth of Mother supporting you as you lay on her earth; and the bright blue sky from Brother; that sweet, cool wind from Sister as Father Sun heats our hearts and warms our skin. These are not things that can be intellectualized. You cannot read these in a book. They can only be felt by the wisdom of the heart and so we begin the healing as a collective within myself and within anyone who is hearing this right now; that is, to recognize when you have been a victim of the intellectualized mind.   Josh Trent (3:20): Now being a victim of intellectualization, it's very common. It's incredibly common because we've all been taught to disconnect from our hearts. Since birth, we've been taught to disconnect from our hearts and somehow our mind will find the right way for us. Our mind will make us successful. Our mind will make us the money. Our mind will get us the girl or the guy. Our mind will do it all. This is the absurdity and the foolishness modern society has taken upon itself, how we have chosen to forget who we are and disconnect from nature. So the healing begins by breathing, by taking an honest look at who we are and how we're living, then only can we reconnect to the wisdom of the heart. So I challenge everyone here with us right now. Take stock. Take emotional inventory. When did you first realize that you disconnected from your heart? Did you learn it from your parents? Did you learn it from school? Were you bullied? Were you called fat? Were you called stupid? Were you made fun of just from being who you are, go to that place and love that being, love that girl, love that boy, that soul and begin to re-parent the heart inside of you to know that it is safe. This world is a safe place. This world is not totally dangerous. Your immune system is not something to be feared. This world is not 100% unsafe. Yes, there are certain laws that are mysterious and we honor the mystery because we are never ever 100% safe. To live is to be alive and to be alive is not always safe, but this world is a safe place.   Josh Trent (5:02): So with the wisdom of the heart and honoring Great Spirit and Mother, this place is where we can find peace. These archetypes of Great Spirit and Mother Earth and Sky and Wind and Water and Fire, all these archetypes are here for us to connect to in a way that we choose, that serves us yet the universal law is that all is one brother, sister, father, mother, grandfather, wind, water, fire, earth. We are all part of this family. Now, this seems like a mystery to you if it's the first time you're hearing this. This is where you set up your tentative awareness. In the words of one of my guides from the Vision Quest, Mark, this is where you set up your tent: you set up your tent in the center of when the detonation and the destruction and the hurt and the tears and blood were spilled, where you may have been infected with the evil that tells you to disconnect from your heart. This is the space where the zero point field begins to access the wisdom of your heart, and the wisdom of the heart has many voices. The wisdom of the heart has tears, laughter, singing, anger, sadness, despair. The wisdom of the heart has so many voices asking to be heard. But yet in our society we've been taught to ignore these voices. We've been taught to ignore the voices of the heart. We ignore our tears. We ignore our sadness. We push it down with another shot of tequila, swipe on Tinder, or a jerk off session to porn. We try to clamp down and not let our tears escape by another thousand dollar Nordstrom visit or a shopping spree on Amazon. All things that fill a hole with no bottom, because the true bottom of the hole is the wisdom of the heart, and the wisdom of the heart cannot be silenced. Therefore, its voice may come out sideways.   Josh Trent (6:54): If you're angry, sad, resentful, and you do not have connection to your heart in order to sing or cry or scream or shake or express that anger, trust me, sadness or grief will come out sideways. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transmuted. This is why addiction exists. Addiction is the opposite of connection. Watch the podcast with myself and Mark Groves, I'll link it here in the show notes. Addiction is the opposite of connection. It is not something that just Gabor Mate has talked about; addiction is the opposite of connection, and by connection I mean connection to the wisdom of the heart because the wisdom of the heart knows no limitations, it knows no bounds. It knows no boundaries because love is all there is and God is love and the God inside of me, the God inside of you, inside of all of us, can we stop and can we ask for forgiveness? Can we cry to Great Spirit, "Thank you. Thank you for letting us be here on this earth and this body blessed by your warmth and cooled by the rain that falls from your sky, that bright blue sky that lights us, the sun that warms us, the ocean that cools us, the wind that cools our face on the top of a mountain after we hiked up sweaty, how that wind and rain can wash it away?" These are the things that are real. Dollar bills and Bitcoin and fiduciary responsibilities and email lists and social media and how many followers do you have, those things aren't fucking real. What we do have in this modern world is a stack of perceived value, but it is not real because the deepest treasure and the greatest wealth on planet earth is the wellbeing inside of yourself. That wellbeing cannot be intellectualized, it can only be felt. It can only be felt with your shirtless back on Mother Earth as you breathe to feel her warmth, as she cradles you with her soil. That wisdom cannot be intellectualized; that wisdom can only be felt.   Josh Trent (9:58): Today, make this the day where we all take one loving, inspired action to reconnect to the wisdom of the heart because I believe the antidote to intellectualization is the wisdom of the heart. The antidote to being a victim and being poisoned by the intellectualized mind is the wisdom of the heart. You can only access the wisdom of the heart through a felt emotional experience and experiential learning of reconnection to God and nature through breath and movement, conscious eating, conscious communication, loving interactions, singing, dancing, storytelling. These are things that God put us on earth to do and to be. So let today be the day. Let today be the day that you let go and maybe you admit to yourself, maybe you can admit to yourself and to Great Spirit that you have been victimized and you were the oppressor yourself and you did the very best you could. You've gotten all the certificates, the degrees, the books, the podcasts, the trainings, the lectures; your library is full; you have all the social media trappings, but yet there's still not peace in your heart. It is from that place where you are authentically real with yourself, to know that peace only comes from your heart and there is power in that, and that power can be trusted.   Josh Trent (10:25): So go out today, feel the wisdom of your heart. Take stock in emotional inventory. With my clients for the Freedom Accelerator Mentorship, when they're on a path of repatterning their subconscious, the very first thing that I do with every client is I have them take what I call an emotional inventory. Draw a line down a piece of paper. On the left side write 10 things that you are caused the most pain by, like things that are really, really hurting you. Maybe it's health or wealth or relationships or trauma. Write them down. On the right side, write 10 things that you feel truly grateful for, like no BS, like things you really, really feel grateful for. Then this is the power: circle the one on the left that's causing you the most pain and circle the one on the right that you're most grateful for. Now, the bridge between knowing and doing is clear. Once you have circled the thing that's causing you the most pain and you have circled the thing that's causing you the most gratitude, this is where you create that bridge of inspired action. You physically call someone. You post it in the Wellness Force group, wellnessforce.com/group. You reach out to a coach, to a facilitator that has experiential learning, and you share with them, "Hey, I took an inventory of where I am. I believe I'm a victim of intellectualization. I have been victimized by my own mind. I have allowed my mind to take over." From that place, the authentically real place, you begin to find peace, and there is power in that. There is power that can be trusted. When from peace, from humility, you are honest with yourself through an inventory and you reach out for support, that is what changes everything. That is what changes everything.   Josh Trent (12:15): So today, do this: take the emotional inventory that I just shared. Have the courage to reach out and share with somebody the one thing and the one thing, the pain and the gratitude, and then state your commitment. "I am committed to changing this one thing and I'm doing it for the thing I'm most grateful for," and that is where you begin. If this resonates with you, if you enjoyed this podcast, if you enjoyed this solocast, if you feel like you are a victim of intellectualization, go over to wellnessforce.com/team. At that place, you can begin your journey. You can reach out to me. You can work with me either one-on-one or in group, or you can simply just be supported at wellnessforce.com/group. Make this the day where you breathe, be at home in your body, and begin to walk a different path, a place that is peaceful and a place where there is power. Because power without peace cannot be trusted. But when you have peace, power can always be trusted. That is the kind of power that creates a life lived well. This is Josh Trent signing off. Have a beautiful day and take action from that place. You are loved, you are supported, and you are on the right path.   Build Immunity. Breathe Deeply.

You get to be in charge of your health and you get to have an unfettered relationship with your provider.

You can't go to a community and just think about what you going to get from it; that's not community but we also have to prioritize taking care of ourselves. That mutuality is so, so important and community allows us to have that. Especially 2020 and now in 2021, this experience is allowing us to get back to that with some fresh ways." - Erika Kraus     Fixing The Price Transparency Problem   "We have a price transparency problem in the USA that is everywhere in the news right now and when there's not transparency when it comes to your cost, when you actually do not know what you are paying for, you do not know the end cost. You may need to go have this surgery but if you do not know what that actual cost is, there's no accountability and there's so much room for waste to get built in. No one knows.It's really hard to navigate your healthcare choices but when we do have price transparency, you can look at these different surgery centers and see the actual cost and reviews. That's what shopping for healthcare should look like." - Erika Kraus     Links From Today's Show  Erika Kraus 259 James Maskell Solocast | Vision Quest Part 1: Honoring Our Ancestors Solocast | Vision Quest Part 2: Touching Death Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Cured Nutrition - Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Organifi - Special 20% off to our listeners with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Paleovalley - Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code 'JOSH' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Belcampo Meat Co - Save 15% on your first order with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE'!

409 Erika Kraus | Health Freedom: Medical Cost Sharing & The Unsustainable Squeeze

 There is this rampant and egregious over and incorrect diagnosis of hypothyroidism. It doesn't mean that hypothyroidism does not exist; of course it does but there have been major outcries even published in the Journal of Thyroid or in Medscape that there is this drift to incorrectly diagnosing people all probably because we're trying to help them but it ends up doing way more harm than it does good. - Dr. Michael Ruscio   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE at wellnessforce.com/CURED   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 408 Doctor, clinical researcher and best-selling author of Healthy Gut, Healthy You, Michael Ruscio, DC, returns for the 5th time to share the truth about hypothyroidism, which lab tests you actually need for diagnosing hypothyroidism, sleep's role in helping uncover health issues, and what to do if you have been misdiagnosed with an illness.

The high amount of misdiagnosis of hyperthyroidism we're seeing and while clinics are trying to help, these misdiagnosis is actually causing people more harm than good. Misdiagnosis of Graves' Disease with Apparent Severe Hyperthyroidism in a Patient Taking Biotin Megadoses 395 Ari Whitten Breaking down what it actually means to be diagnosed with hypothyroidism and what is happening in the body especially for men in Josh's scenario. The fear that came up for Josh during his call with the clinician, being told his "body is broken," and how it could've been handled better. What range of TSH we should be looking at to properly diagnose somebody with hyperthyroidism and who will actually benefit from medication. Exceptions in hypothyroid symptoms and prescribed medicine including infertility and young age. How misdiagnosis hurts people mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially as they go from one medication to another medication when they don't actually need them.   [16:00] Sleep's Role In Helping Uncover Health Issues Exploring the different types of therapies available at centers such as Dr. Ruscio's to help people with their hypothyroidism or other health issues. The difference between lab forward clinics that are focused on theories and those that will work directly with the client to help them heal with clinically trialed therapies. Why supplements and prescribed medicines don't actually help address the root cause of our health problems compared to changing our lifestyles. What lifestyle factors Dr. Ruscio looks at first when helping a client: sleep, diet, and other areas. Different diets Josh has tried including the ketogenic diet which made him personally feel sleepy and lethargic compared to something like the Mediterranean diet. How Josh's specific background including having the APO34 gene impacts his health and how his body responds to different foods. 373 Matteo Franceschetti Eight Sleep Sleep biohacks Josh is adding to his life including the Eight Sleep bed which uses thermoregulation to adjust the body temperature for greater rest. How Josh is tracking his body's response to different foods using the NutriSenseCGM device. 397 Kara Collier Save $25 on the first month of any monthly NutriSense plan with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' 365 Dr. Paul Saladino 252 Harpreet Rai | OURA Ring   [26:00] How Singing Can Improve Your Sleep Gaps that might occur with a mattress that tracks HRV compared to the home sleep test that Dr. Ruscio's team does which tracks if a person is snoring to help them with their hypothesis of testing for sleep apnea and other issues. Breaking down why men are at higher risk for sleep problems than women and Dr. Ruscio's theories on why. Weston A. Price Foundation 321 Sally Fallon Morell & Hilda Labrada Gore How your sleep angle can play a role if you are seeing metabolic insufficiencies and suboptimization. Why singing and playing different woodwind instruments like a didgeridoo have shown to reduce obstructed sleep apnea because of how it improves the tone of the musculature in the palate and throat. Tatch   [30:30] Which Lab Tests Are Beneficial? What tests Dr. Ruscio suggests Josh and similar people in his shoes do including an expanded cardiovascular panel to get a better sense on what Josh's risk looks like and help him make modifications. Breaking down which lab tests are actually essential to help someone improve their thyroid health. Why it helps to do an in depth look at what is bothering you: snoring, jaw clenching, dry mouth, receding gums, exhaustion, or drool as well as your history with braces and headgear. The fact that the one thing that will tank metabolism and testosterone levels for males is a an undiagnosed sleep issue. Exploring which workouts and weight lifting exercises that really help move the needle for testosterone and general health. Why the impact of exercise on hormones is actually fairly minimal. 380 Mike Mutzel What mouth taping is and if it might benefit your personalized health. Why mouth taping might not drastically help move the health needle for you compared to diet and exercise like it has for people such as Dr. Ruscio. Paul Chek | All Is God Why even the healthiest people who perform at a high athletic level will also face bad days but with the right help they should feel heard, things should make sense, and your clinician shouldn't make you feel afraid. Signs that you should look out for when following the advice of one clinician over the other. Why a trusted clinician is one that is open-minded, looks at different approaches, and is cautious.

Why this is so problematic is because literally once per week at our clinic I will see a case of someone who has been misdiagnosed with hypothyroidism; it's really that rampant in today's society."  - Dr. Michael Ruscio   The Right Way To Speak To Patients   "When people aren't feeling well, there's already a predilection for patients to be a little bit anxious and their minds go to the worst case scenario. I've been there before myself; these thoughts happen and if you prey upon that, it's really the wrong way to handle these conversations because you end up making the person feel worse than they actually are. As clinicians, we should be trying to leverage a placebo in a positive and say something like, 'Hey, you can heal and you can recover. It's not that bad and these things can be repaired," rather than telling patients like in your case, "Your body is broken." Telling people their body is broken causes harm mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially." - Dr. Michael Ruscio   Do You Really Need Hypothyroid Medication?     "Many of these lab forward clinical models are predicated upon theory. It's a theory that your TSH shouldn't be above 2 or 2.5. So, what we're trying to use at our clinic is proof that when people have certain symptoms and they make diet, lifestyle or supplement changes, there is clinical outcome data showing these changes improve their symptoms. And a much better model is to put that lifestyle change process into a cascade of decision making trees that you can walk the person through until you get the result. Sure, some lab work guides that slightly but it's really the person and their symptoms and their response to therapeutics that drives the model predominantly compared to just treating labs and treating numbers that is again just based upon theory that chases a number and doesn't focus on the person." - Dr. Michael Ruscio     Links From Today's Show  278 Dr. Michael Ruscio - What’s Really Going On With My Thyroid? 236 Dr. Michael Ruscio - Healing The Second Brain 223 Dr. Michael Ruscio - Healthy Gut, Healthy You 119 Dr. Michael Ruscio - The Orthorexia Connection Dr. Ruscio Radio Podcast Healthy Gut, Healthy You by Dr. Michael Ruscio Thyroid immunity – What Are Healthy Levels for Thyroid Antibodies Misdiagnosis of Graves' Disease with Apparent Severe Hyperthyroidism in a Patient Taking Biotin Megadoses 395 Ari Whitten 373 Matteo Franceschetti Eight Sleep 397 Kara Collier Save $25 on the first month of any monthly NutriSense plan with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' 365 Dr. Paul Saladino 252 Harpreet Rai | OURA Ring Weston A.

 How do I adapt my shoreline to the capacity that the feminine energy that I love is asking for? Well, the only way that I can change the geography of my shoreline is by doing a rite of passage that will actually change my shoreline forever. - Josh Trent   Wellness Force Radio Episode 407 Wellness Force Media Founder, Josh Trent, joins host of The Art of Masculinity Podcast, Johnny Elsasser, to discuss how to adjust your shoreline through a Rites of Passage, the power of true brotherhood, and break down of the three stages of intelligence: gathering, applying, and embodying for greater emotional wisdom.   What is authoritative playfulness and why is it needed now more than ever in our world?     Join Johnny and Josh as they share practical tools for the masculine energy to build themselves up from the inside out.  Paleovalley's Apple Cider Vinegar Complex Save 15% on your order with the code ‘JOSH' at wellnessforce.com/paleovalley Introducing a powerful organic blend of apple cider vinegar and four more gut & health supportive superfoods.

Josh's journey to fatherhood and how expecting Novah has shaped his life. How and why many men abuse the beautiful gift and power of intimacy. What new 'terms' Josh is most excited about with his new role as a father and starting a family. 405 Tim Corcoran Josh's recent experience doing a 10-Day Vision Quest and what thoughts and emotions came up for him during that experience.

The power of a Rites Of Passage and why it's a vital part of entering adulthood. King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette Breaking down what a true rite of passage actually is, how it changes the 'shoreline of your being' and how to complete one. The various types of Rites of Passages around the world and what Josh enjoyed the most about his experience doing a Native American based Vision Quest.   [8:30] True Brotherhood Why gangs and the military are the closest things we have to a 'Rites of Passage' in American culture and neither are very good for our wellbeing or psyche. Exploring why you cannot have true power or brotherhood from a place of violence and war; only from a place of peace. How these groups with dogmatic, controlling leaders begin to grow an infection of resentment within and it begins to unravel the brotherhood. The fact that the old school patriarchy was infected and has operated from that space for a millennia but we're now witnessing this positive shift away from that mentality. Why it's foolish to think that evil does not exist because in the world there are fear and love, chaos and order, dark and night...there are always opposing forces because all is God. Paul Chek | All Is God   [12:30] Authoritative Playfulness Why it's not real to believe in "good vibes only" but what is real is to have "authoritative playfulness." Breaking down what authoritative playfulness is and why it's what modern men need to cultivate. How authoritative playfulness gives men the skills to take care of themselves and their family against evil. The deep ego wounds we still carry with us from people being mistreated for thousands of years: greed, resentment, and betrayal. Why we have square thinking when we need to think in a circular way to live in our 360 world. Exploring why men are afraid of this new way of being in their masculine selves. Why our ego will fight any time our way of being is challenged with a new idea or with change. Holodynamics | Dr. Vernon Woolf 404 Jay Brown Dr. Vernon Woolf's work on holodynes and how beliefs are passed on to us from our past generations. Why, like technology, we must also always be evolving and challenging ourselves to grow.   [20:30] The Three Phases Of Intelligence What steps you can take to help the men in your life realize that they do need to get in touch with love and Spirit. The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell Unpacking the 'tipping point' we all face when we have experienced a way of being that is creating pain. Why we encounter the tipping point every single day and how we can show up by choosing to be aware of our reality and then decide how we will adapt and serve in that awareness. 086 Mark Divine Tools that help Josh be aware, show up, adapt, and serve including breathwork. How to show up as a better man by following the three phases of intelligence: gather, apply, and embody. How men can apply breathwork and greater awareness in their relationships to help them solve difficult moments especially when old programming is going on in your mind's background. 358 Dr. Belisa Vranich breathwork.io The power of breathwork and how taking a deep, vertical breath will help reset your nervous system. Why the biggest gift we can give to ourselves, our partner, and our space is asking for permission to learn so that we can become a better leader. How you can become a better leader for your team by asking members to help you understand any stress they're feeling if the energy is off at work.   [30:00] How Men Can Build Greater Emotional Intelligence Why true intelligence goes beyond just how smart you are or how you speak. How we can all gain greater emotional intelligence by taking very complex things, dropping into our heart, and speak with honest language. How Josh's M21 Guide with six practices will help you on your path to embody greater emotional and physical intelligence. What people can look forward to in starting a breathwork practice and the science behind how it helps shift the brain's chemistry. The biggest factors that cause people to be stuck in the sympathetic or "freeze" state: trauma (big or small). How you can get out of the sympathetic mode: hugging, nature, exercise, or conscious relationships but the no. 1 is the pulse of the breath. Why we become victims of intellectualization where we think that life has to be this crazy, hard complex obstacle but it's all programming. What if money was no object? by Alan Watts The power of being aware of what "masks" you are still wearing in your everyday life instead of showing up as your authentic self. Why sometimes fear wears a smile when we're all about "good vibes only" and putting on this front that everything is fine.

It's so hard because we are fighting biology. Steven Pressfield calls it 'the resistance.' So, what is resistance's number one job? What is a holodyne's number one job? What is a core belief that got installed almost like a microchip in a computer; what is its core job? Its core job is to function without change. So, when I am presented with new information that goes against the construct of the programs that were installed in my mind that activate the holodynes and the beliefs and the way of being, there is going to be a system error, right? That is when your soul has to come in, see things from an observer perspective, and override the programming." - Josh Trent   The Tipping Point We Face Every Day   "We all have a tipping point that comes when we have experienced a way of being that is creating pain. We change through pleasure and pain; it's an axis and the reason that dark comes really strong right before light is because every day we're in a tipping point. Every single day you and I as men can choose to show up as authoritative playful leaders based on our environment and what we're aware of happening in it. How can you do this? First you have to choose that you want to be aware of what is actually going on in reality; not the subjective reality but the objective reality that you can see from 30,000 feet. After that, ask yourself, 'What is my decision making faculty about how I'm going to adapt and serve in that awareness?' "  - Josh Trent   What It Means To Be An Authoritative Playful Man     "Authoritative Playfulness is what men need to cultivate because if we can be authoritative and playful, that can be trusted. Authoritative means you take care of your body, you take care of your mental health; maybe you learn how to use firearms properly to protect you and your family, maybe you learn how to grow food. Maybe you learn all kinds of skills that can protect from a place of peace and love against evil because evil is real just like love is real. Evil is real because we are still at the consciousness level where we are still carrying out the wishes of evil and those come from greed, resentment, and betrayal which are all ego wounding.... ...They are still these deep, bloody ego wounds that we are uncovering from thousands of years of people being mistreated and honestly trying to be led from dogmatism. So, we get to be authoritative and we get to be playful because we have to have fun and we have to be loving. That's the art form of being authoritative playful and that's what us men have to embody today."     Links From Today's Show  The Art of Masculinity | Episode 191: Change Your Shoreline with Josh Trent 405 Tim Corcoran Solocast | Vision Quest Part 1: Honoring Our Ancestors Solocast | Vision Quest Part 2: Touching Death 196 Aubrey Marcus  King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette Paul Chek | All Is God Holodynamics | Dr. Vernon Woolf 404 Jay Brown The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell 086 Mark Divine 358 Dr. Belisa Vranich What if money was no object? by Alan Watts Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community About Josh Trent Josh Trent is the Founder of Wellness Force Media, host of the Wellness Force Podcast and the creator of the BREATHE: Breath & Wellness Program.

407 Josh Trent | The Art of Masculinity: Changing Your Life's Shoreline, Authoritative Playfulness & Rites of Passage

 When you really dig into the inner work process, the first place to begin is to stop worshipping and praying at the altar of perpetual growth and ascension. We are obsessed. We are addicted. We are fixated on and relient on this need to be special and this need to grow and this denies us the experience of a kind of falling apart. No man wants to fall apart and come into contact with the realities of what his grief might have to teach him. The fact is that when we really get present to it, what we're actually afraid of is that we don't know what that's going to look like. We are terrified of what will happen on the other side of not worshipping the 'God of Growth' and beginning to allow the wisdom of this grief to enter. - Connor Beaton   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE at wellnessforce.com/CURED   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 406 TEDx Speaker and the Founder of ManTalks, Connor Beaton, shares his own journey of coming back from rock bottom, the healing power of shadow work, how men can begin the process of fathering their inner child, and why the war of the sexes is officially over.   Are you ready to begin the journey towards deep radical healing?   Discover why pain has its own intelligence and what it can teach us when we are present to its guiding wisdom.   CURED Nutrition Save 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE at wellnessforce.com/cured It's taken me over a year to find the right hemp and CBD company to introduce to the Wellness Force Community and I could not be more thrilled that it's CURED Nutrition!

How the mask and the illusion he had built around himself started to crumble and impact those around him. His past destructive behavior patterns and how he worked to overcome and be anew. So-called "rules" that men learn including "You don't talk about what it's like to be a man" especially if it doesn't fit into the typical male role. Francis Weller Breaking down how our pain as its own intelligence and why men are taught not to observe that and it is crippling them. The fact that Connor couldn't cope with the pain that he felt inside that led to fights, dangerous behavior, and infidelity because that's what he thought a man should do to stuff it down. Why we shouldn't suppress our feelings and pain but explore and express them to help us heal.   [15:00] Pain Has Its Own Wisdom How embracing the emotional pain during his 10-Day Vision Quest allowed Josh to heal past wounds he had carried for decades.

What it means to go "into the cave" and experience the dark night of the soul that will ultimately lead you on your Hero's Journey.   [30:30] Shadow Work & Self Healing Breaking down the keys to shadow work and begin the self healing process. How to pay attention to how you react and why that response is so important to understanding your shadow and where you go when you are unconscious. The benefits of keeping a journal of what you react to, how you reacted, and what narrative runs through your mind when the shadow self comes out. Unpacking the differences between responding from the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous systems and applying that to your fight, fight, or freeze response. Exploring capital "T" and lower case "t" trauma for men especially if they have experienced sexual trauma, physical abuse, or a family member with a mental health illness. Why men who have been abused either have a "fawn" response where they freeze or they people please because it is safer for them. Unpacking the co-dependent saying "Happy wife, happy life" and how it keeps people back from doing the real inner work. Why we, and especially men, over rely on our intellectual understanding of things but struggle with intuition and emotions in relationships. Conner's decision to not call it therapy but training because men are missing skill sets that they actually need in order to have fully functional relationships, careers, health, romantic relationships, and self fulfillment. What past narratives Connor had to unlearn so that he could learn new trainings such as the arts of self discipline.   [44:30] How To Begin The Shadow Work Exploring the law of reciprocity and how it relates to things happening for us instead of to us. Why he believes that in some way karma is what we attract because we believe we deserve it. How our pain unconsciously attracts what we don't want in life and that's why we should be paying attention to what it's telling us. Why the shadow work is not a golden bullet for automic healing but it is an important part of the process. The importance of easing into doing the shadow work by first realizing what areas of your life you are avoiding. A shadow work game Connor would play with himself by catching himself whenever he lied to others and then autocorrect that behavior real time. What he believes shadow work is in 2021 and why so many people are abusing the word and practice. How Carl Jung came up with the concept of the shadow self and shadow work. Connor's own experience with shadow work and working with parts of himself that he was hiding from others. How Connor helps people with addiction and the 12- step process. Why he believes that addiction is often an attachment dysfunction. How spirituality comes into place with the process of healing from addiction.   [57:30] The War Of The Sexes Is Over The different programs that are available at ManTalks to help you with the healing process. What the ManTalks group, The Alliance, is about and why it's a safe space for men to have challenge based relationships to help them grow. Why we need to stop focusing on bringing a matriarchy or a patriarchy into power and instead create a humanity arch together to lead from a place of wholeness and not wounding. Stephen Jenkinson Breaking down the actual etymology of the word, "patriarchy," why it doesn't mean putting men on a pedestal, and how it applies to our world in 2021. Why a lot of the work that we do as men is to learn how to father ourselves. How ManTalks and The Alliance help men tend to and father themselves but also integrate and initiate themselves through the obstacles they're facing into more sovereign, self led men who can bring their gifts into the world. Why there is no more "war of the sexes" and we can work together as one in society while honoring our core differences and similarities. The spiritual courage to surrender to change and allow ourselves to evolve and mature.

When men enter this work, they think, 'Okay, I'm going to work on my shadow; I'm going to do shadow work,' or 'I'm going to go to therapy, I'm going to get a therapist.' They do so almost always from the place of: I just want that one ultimate equation that's going to liberate me so I can get away from this. They want to make it as pragmatic as possible but you know, you're entering into territory that may not work like that and you have have to consider that. Consider that what got you into the dysfunction that you have been in may not be the path that is going to get you out of it. That perhaps, you're going to have to learn a very different, equally valuable lesson when you begin the real inner work." - Connor Beaton   Facing Your Shadow   "Carl Jung's work focused on facing the shadow; facing the parts of you that you have been rejecting and hiding and avoiding. Start there to begin your inner work journey and ask, 'What have I been rejecting about myself? What have I been avoiding? What have I been denying about myself and lying about in my life?' Start there by working on those aspects because when we do, we begin to reveal that parts of ourselves that we have hidden from the people that we love and then we wonder why we don't feel like they really know us.... ...So, begin with the things that you have been neglecting about who you are or begin with the parts that you have been rejecting of what your life actually looks like. For some men this is very challenging because it means that they have to come into contact with the truth that maybe they're not as happy and things aren't as perfect as they had been selling to the world for years." - Connor Beaton   How To Father Your Inner Child     "The work that we do in many ways is about learning how to father ourselves as men. That we stop offloading the responsibility of our wellness, of our strength, of our confidence, of our wellbeing onto other people because the truth is, if we're really honest, there's a lot of men out there who have no idea how to tend to the wounded child that they've been carrying around for years. Where has he gone? If you've been abused as a child, where did that child go? Nowhere; he's in you - he is you and if you don't know how to take care of him, he's going to cause havoc in your life. If you don't know how to parent him and father him, he's going to cause havoc if you become a father." - Connor Beaton   Links From Today's Show  ManTalks Podcast Get a discount for Man Talks Shadow Work Program with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' 386 Mark Groves ManTalks Podcast: Josh Trent – Breaking Through the Barriers of Our Own Past, Pain and Failures Francis Weller Carl Jung Stephen Jenkinson Duey Freeman Paleovalley - Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code 'JOSH' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Belcampo Meat Co Botanic Tonics - Save 20% with the code 'WELLNESS20' Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Connor Beaton Facebook Instagram Twitter ManTalks Facebook YouTube Instagram   About Connor Beaton Connor Beaton,the founder of ManTalks. He was raised to believe that being a man meant you had to follow certain rules. The most notable one is like the first rule of Fight Club: don’t talk about it. For most of his life, he believed all men had the same rule. Shut up and deal with it. Man up. Over the next few years, he learned to take his trauma, shame, and denial—all the shadowy parts of himself—and integrate them. He spent thousands of hours learning and training. He consulted psychologists, historians, neurologists, and authors. Connor trained for years under mentors and leaders in Jungian psychology, somatic therapy, and holotropic breathwork. He even apprenticed under a disciple of Carl Jung himself. In 2014, Connor founded ManTalks as a grassroots movement to further the cause: giving men the tools and training to create a truly self-led life.   Build Immunity. Breathe Deeply.
