43. David Perez: How Honoring Your Body Can Help Reduce Pain May 14, 2021

Show notes

Why do we experience pain? What role does inflammation play in the pain we experience? Did you know that your skin absorbs everything you apply to it?

In this episode of HYDRATE, David Perez and I discuss the ways that we experience pain and how that experience should be different. No matter the age that we are, we all experience some sort of pain, for which 95% of it is due to our body responding to inflammation. This inflammation is caused by more than just what we eat.

Plus, David emphasizes honoring our body and being careful of what we put on our skin. As most of us are unaware of the transdermal delivery system, which is when the skin absorbs what is applied to it into our bloodstream, being aware of the toxins and preservatives that we have to avoid applying to our skin is crucial to avoiding any sort of inflammation or pain in the near future.

David Perez is a humanitarian, philanthropist, and serial entrepreneur with over 36 years of executive management experience working in, establishing, and financing start-ups that are focused on nanotechnology, nutrition, telecom, software technology, wireless, and finance. His true passion is saving lives, disaster relief, and logistics operations for NGOs.

42. How Meaningful Connections Impact Your Vibrational Frequency May 07, 2021

Show notes

When was the last time that you actually felt seen? That you felt that someone looked into your eyes and intentionally looked to build a connection with you? In this episode of HYDRATE, I chat with you about the behaviors I have observed as quite common in our interactions with other human beings in today’s era of “Great Distraction”. The reality is that we live in a world where everything is fast-paced and transactional, making meaningful connections and a grounded presence something that we rarely get to experience or come across in others. As I believe that we are all created for meaningful connection, this failure to see others and acknowledge them, to physically touch others, and to genuinely build connections will cause us to fail to thrive. I also share with you three actionable steps that you can take implementing today to bring your vibrational frequency up to the highest level that we known, which is the frequency of love.

41.Robert Slovak: The Ugly Truth About Your Tap Water + How to Decontaminate It Apr 30, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of HYDRATE, Robert Slovak and I dive deep into the importance of understanding what contaminants are present in the water that we drink and which ones are truly eliminated when the water is filtered. In fact, most brands who sell filtered bottled water advertise their water as being superior to its competitors, in terms of taste, feel or smell. But we must beware of these marketing tactics, as their filtering method only suffices to eliminate chlorine while leaving other far more dangerous contaminants present. We also talk about how we can do our own due diligence when it comes to drinking tap water. Reading the reports that are made available to us by our municipalities often reveals the contaminants, such as pesticides and pharmaceutical residue, that are found in dangerous amounts in the water we have running in our homes. Robert Slovak is an International water scientist and is regarded as one of the world’s foremost water experts. He has devoted himself to the science of water after life-altering experiences. He and his brother are considered the early developers of Reverse Osmosis technology.

40. Abe Al-baba: Using Neuroscience to Optimize Our Physical Performance Apr 23, 2021

Show notes

What does the way you walk say about your brain? How can we use neuroscience to optimize our physical performance? In this episode of the Hydrate podcast, Abe Al-baba and I dive into the world of Neuro Sports performance and how important the input we give to our brains is to the output we get in terms of our physical performance. In fact, our brain can limit our performance if we don’t give it the right input. Plus, we talk about how the catalyst to a lot of the chronic illnesses and pains that we might be enduring often lies in the unconscious ways that we act and the habits that we practice on a daily basis. As all of our muscles are connected to different parts of our brain, assessing your habits and changing what is detrimental to your health will help you improve your physical performance. Abe Al-baba is an institutionally trained exercise physiologist specializing in performance optimization, nutrition coaching and the development of elite athletes. Al-Baba’s focus is to provide the brain with the most appropriate input while performing sophisticated strength and conditioning methodology with the intention of injury deterrence and performance optimization.

How can we employ frequencies as a healing art? What exactly is vibrational medicine? How does our body know when and how to heal itself? In this episode of the Hydrate podcast, Geoffrey Smith and I cover the basics of vibrational frequencies and vibrational medicine. While conditions of disease in humans are multi-faceted, we cannot ignore the frequency aspect when treating individuals. Plus, we also talk about how our bodies constantly strive for perfection, as it is intelligent enough to heal itself and to show up as perfect in every way possible when it comes to our health.

He offers unique treatments that often combine advanced osteopathic techniques with bio-resonance, vibrational medicine and spiritual psychotherapeutics for the treatment of a wide variety of conditions often succeeding where allopathic medicine may have failed.

37. Stefanos Sifandos: Why Men Love the Chase but Not the Catch Apr 03, 2021

Show notes

Why do men love the chase but not the catch? I’m about to get real with you…I feel like a man's eyes are on you until he gets what he's wanting and then his focus shifts to his next pursuit. Ladies, do you agree? Men, do you beg to differ? I know that's not with ALL men, but for me, it feels like a pattern. It was even something as a little girl that I paid attention to. And because of that, I always feared getting married. I feared that if I finally had a relationship with a man where we were committed forever, that he would stop pursuing me. The pursuit would be over. I’ve be so curious about this and wanting to understand this in great depth and that’s why I brought Stefanos Sifandos onto the HYDRATE podcast. In the episode, he gave me a clear understanding as to why I feel like this is a regular pattern with men, and what I can do as a woman to break it. Stefanos is a trained educator and relationship expert with a background in behavioral science. He is passionate about leading people closer to their highest potential. He helps men and women escape negative patterns and cultivate a positive sense of self as well as restructuring and re-framing their relationships with themselves and their loved ones. Whether you’re a man or woman, I know there is a part of this episode that will speak to you and bring greater awareness to your actions in your relationships.

36. Mike Belkowski: Non-Native Lights, Malillumination + Why Modern Health Needs Red Light Therapy Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

Are you malilluminated? What does that even mean? Well, you know what it means when someone is malnourished. It’s the same, but being malnourished with the light you’re intaking. Malillumination is not getting the correct light and bombarding yourself with non-native lights and that’s exactly what I chat about with my latest HYDRATE guest, Mike Belkowski. Mike argues that when you surrounding yourself with blue light, Bluetooth, wifi, laptop, T.V., and your cell phone, it’s just as bad as eating Mcdonald's. In today’s modern world, we are constantly exposed to non-native lighting, and getting in the correct natural lighting daily is a struggle. The two of us discuss how we can begin to increase our intake of correct lighting to ensure we’re getting a healthy dose daily for optimal health. We also discuss what non-native lights are, what they’re doing to your health, how to increase our sun tolerance, and supplementing our sun exposure with red light therapy. Mike is the founder of BioLightandis, bringing game-changing technology to red light therapy around the world. As a physical therapist, he has worked with patients across the lifespan spectrum and has an impressive amount of experience with Integrative Dry Needling, Mulligan mobilizations, cupping, and rehabilitating orthopedic pathologies, running biomechanics, and concussion injuries.
