112: How To Live A More Compassionate Life w/ Dr. Steven Stosny Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

Negative emotional habits can impact the way in which you see the world, experience relationships, and express yourself. While it may be something you or your partner is subconsciously adopting, it can have a serious impact on your ability to solve issues and cope with stress.

This is why I have asked Dr. Steven Stosny to share with us his research in the power of compassion and emotional habits. An author of several books including How To Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It and Love Without Hurt, Dr. Stosny is an expert in using the most profound part of your brain so that you can understand your stress and work to develop compassion as the cornerstone of your emotional blueprint.

Compassion gives you the endorphins you need to stop feeding off of anger and start understanding the negative reactivity in your relationships. Instead of letting your 'toddler brain' win by using blame, denial, or avoidance, Dr. Stosny is here to provide you with ways that you can improve, appreciate, connect or protect in order to make whatever situation you are in better.

By getting in touch with your core values you can learn to fall in love with your adult brain and in turn, spread kindness to those struggling with resentment. If you or someone you love is struggling with anger, resentment, and stress, Dr. Stonsy's knowledge will be invaluable on your journey towards peace. If you are looking to prevent regret through compassion, this is the episode for you.

How are you working to be more compassionate to yourself and your loved ones? Share your story with us in the comments on the episode page.

In This Episode

Why you default to your 'toddler brain' when you are stressed and what to do about it
Understand gender difference in the way that we relate to each other in relationships
How to use compassion to heal resentment, anger, and other negative emotions
Discover the science behind why anger can be addictive and resentment can be contagious
First steps that you can take if you or someone you love has an anger problem

Quotes

"If your emotional habits are bad, you are just seeing the world through a tunnel vision. Emotions are how we react to each other and how we know the world, so we better get them right!" (7:16)

"We do need to be happy on our own, but together we can make something better than what we can do on our own, and that's harmony." (10:43)

"Resentment becomes part of your defensive system, it becomes part of the way you negotiate your world. It's more than just a feeling, it is a way of looking at life when it gets entrenched as it goes on. It's worse than fear of change." (31:09)

"When you are hurt or you are emotionally aroused, it is almost impossible to see other people's perspectives. So in a relationship when the people are hurting each other, it gets harder and harder to see each other's perspectives. And that's not just true for emotional pain. If you have a headache, it is hard for you to sympathize with someone's toothache, between your pain is seizing your whole conscious intention, that is what it is supposed to do… when you are hurt it is motivating you to do something about your hurt, so you can't see the other persons hurt." (35:41)

"When your self-value is lowered, you have to do something that makes you feel more valued, more loveable. Not more powerful. Because it's not a power problem, its a value problem." (41:29)

"Your only chance of getting the partner you most want to have is to be the partner you most want to be." (50:04)

What piece of information shared today surprised you? Let us know how you are taking care of your heart in the comments on the episode page.

In This Episode

Discover your likelihood to develop heart disease and what you can do about it
Surprising symptoms to look out for to proactively look after your hearts health
Learn how to reverse prior cardiovascular damage to improve your longevity
Addressing the dietary and nutritional confusion you have around fats and more
The six things that could contribute to you developing heart disease despite your health now
What test you can take to find out if you should be concerned about heart disease

Quotes

"Nobody with heart disease should be surprised, they should know years before the event." (13:18)

"I wish heart disease were wrinkles because we care and can see wrinkles, we cant see heart disease so we don't care about it as much. But there is probably a relationship between not just earlobe creases. The point is, if you want beautiful glowing skin, eat fruits and vegetables and legumes. At the same time, we know you are going to benefit your cardiovascular system." (20:11)

"Plant-based, we all get it. 100% plant-based is where I am at, but if you are 90%+ then you are in the sweet spot of the best glowing skin, cardiovascular benefit, reduction, and risk for adult diabetes and such." (24:50)

"There is confusion because I think we have to define who you are talking too. There is no one size fits all. And in a typical blog on the wellness sights don't really make that distinction, whereas I am always writing for the heart patient." (29:19)

"You look at a population of 20 or 30 thousand people who say 'I don't have heart disease', and 20 years later you go visit them and say 'who had a heart attack? Who is alive, who died of heart disease?'. There are six things that predict developing heart disease in a relatively healthy population." (37:47)

110: Ways You Can Influence Your Energy Fields w/ Harry Massey Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

Harry Massey is the co-founder of NES Health and is responsible for creating the world's first practical clinical system for reading an individuals 'body-field' and correcting it. Through cutting edge research and instrument development that is shaping the future of medicine, Harry is here today to share his knowledge on the energy field of the body, the concept of the Body-Field, and how you can make it work for your health.

Every organ, every cell, and every part of your body has its own energy and information, which it both broadcasts and can detect from others. Harry works to show how through the detection of the information and energy within your body, you can work to correct the necessary information in your body so that you can learn more about your body as a whole.

By turning simple experiments into a health analysis system, Harry is breaking the ceiling when it comes to mind-body interactions and correcting information and biochemistry to find optimal health for all. The Body-Field and biochemistry is a two-way street, and it is only by understanding their connection and looking at the role of each organ and every cell that you can begin detecting when corrections are needed for you.

Are you ready to learn how you can detect your Body-Field and correct it so that you can clear your energy pathways and start seeing real results on your health journey? Share what you found most interesting about Harry's work with us in the comments on the episode page.

In This Episode

Ways that you can influence your body, body-field, and biochemistry into better health
How to find the motivation to get out of pain and keep going on your health journey
The role of reincarnation and ghosts when imprinting Body-Field information
Tips for making a commitment and breaking the glass ceiling to better health
Why you need to be open to new forms of healing even if it is not what you were taught

Quotes

"What we are able to do today, is we are actually able to use the information of how the body is when it's working optimally and basically trigger a healing response directly in the body. Which gets pretty interesting because you can basically create an epigenetic change directly without the sort of indirect methods of the past." (7:32)

"Absolutely every part of reality, or if you like our consciousness, is completely interactive with our reality, which is a very strange idea when we are looking at things from biochemistry or Newtonian point of view. But if you sort of take a step back into the physics, where we are looking at everything as patterns of information and energy, it starts to make more sense." (11:48)

"I think that is one of the absolute keys to life, it is really to keep an open mind when you are presented with facts that don't fit your world view." (14:32)

"Its a theory, because it is very hard to prove. You cant prove reincarnation or soul, and I can't necessarily prove out what I am saying with physics. But I think we are getting closer these days to physics being able to explain a lot of these ancient spiritual ideas." (25:39)

"Just keep going, if you have got out of pain and you are sort of semi-well and your bouncing back, just don't give up, keep going. Because there is a state in health where everything really is pretty joyful and you can do all of the things that you really want to do in life." (31:21)

"When we are disconnected, that is where we fall into destructive habits and we fill ourselves up with addictions because we don't have the proper connections that we really need to sustain us." (19:49)

"Love, I believe, is our ultimate medicine. In the tradition in which I sit… we always use Metta Bhavana which is loving-kindness at the end of our session. It is the balm that we have consistent access too, and it elevates us. And it heals us, love, completely." (43:16)

108: Living Right For Your Blood Type w/ Dr. Peter D'Adamo Jun 25, 2020

Show notes

Do you know your blood type? Many American's don't, but it can be a true vital sign when it comes to dealing with your health. Dr. Peter D'Adamo is a naturopathic physician, distinguished professor of clinical sciences, author, and much more, who is passionate about converging science and nature to find whole-body health.

By using blood types, epigenetics, and computer science, Dr. D'Adamo is individualizing medicine while still honoring the inherent idea of the healing power of nature. Different blood types respond differently to stress, environment, and the microbiome, and it is only by understanding how your blood type impacts your health that you can start to personalize your health to you.

The evidence and utility of your blood type and secreter status is overflowing, and with the information that Dr. D'Adamo shares today, you can get a handle on how your body works so that you can treat it better and promote your longevity. Everything from your blood viscosity to your diet can play a role in how your blood and body reacts to your lifestyle. If you are looking for a science-based framework to understand your body better and give it what it needs, this is an episode you cannot miss.

Discovering how your body works is not a 'one size fits all' undertaking. By using technology to provide you with the insights that can bring you back to what you are strongest at, you can learn about the pathways of your body and treat it better.

Are you ready to take a step back and appreciate the theory of generative medicine? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section of the episode page.

In This Episode

Learn about the different blood types and how they can be determinant of health
Understand the differences between the blood types and why it matters
Why a one size fits all approach to blood type and treatment is a dangerous theory
Basic diet strategies for each blood type and how they relate to generativity
Discover why naturopathic medicine was responsible for uncovering the differences in solutions for individual blood types

Quotes

"The idea that blood type influences personality is kind of silly. The reality is though that there are chemical and immunological and genetic things that do differ by blood type that has to do with how we deal with stress." (12:10)

"The reality is that we are constantly molding ourselves and remolding ourselves and remaking and remodeling ourselves in response to the environment. And if we didn't, we wouldn't be here today." (15:57)

"Food is a political issue in this particular time period. And to be able to simply anything beyond this idea that there is a one size fits all that is going to work for everybody, that is a very very dangerous thought." (27:28)

"I decided that I would write software that would simply write everybody their own book. So in our clinic, we do an analysis and generate software, one of a kind diets, that essentially result in the patient having a book written for them right then and there." (38:52)

"These variations, we shouldn't be running away from it. We should be accepting it, we should be exploring it, turning it sideways, upside down. Because it is all about learning, it is all about finding out more about ourselves. We should be celebrating the differences rather than trying to sweep them away into a one size fits all thing."

Quotes

"Through diet and proper supplementation, we can see significant reductions, and these reductions in inflammation are more effective in protecting against having a heart attack or stroke than simply lowering your cholesterol." (4:28)

"Were seeing that many of these chronic degenerative diseases, like heart disease, like Alzheimer's disease, like Parkinson's disease, like type two diabetes, and obviously cancer, are related perhaps more to this accumulation of pesticides over our lifetime, as well as other toxins, just as much as with our dietary sins." (12:17)

"What's good for your heart is good for your brain. And so if you want to live longer, it's not just about reducing your risk of having a heart attack or stroke, you want to make sure that your brain is seeing the benefit too." (22:15)

"[Drugs] are really good at suppressing the symptom, but not at really getting at the underlying cause, and that is bad medicine. Because if you don't get at that underlying cause, it's eventually going to manifest itself in a way that can be catastrophic. And that certainly the case in cardiovascular disease." (30:14)

"So often we are afraid of the emotions, the thoughts, the purging that might have to happen. But I feel that when you understand that that is the process, and you learn how to work with it, it actually gets quite exciting.

"The other side of radical expression is life long oppression. So if radical expression is a breakthrough, life long repression is a breakdown. Radical expression can change your world, and life long oppression can build walls around you in the world." (40:36)

105: The Serpent and the Butterfly: Seven Laws of Healing w/ Dr. Ben Reebs Jun 04, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Ben Reebs is an award-winning naturopathic doctor, founder of Portland Clinic of Natural Medicine, and author of the new book, The Serpent & The Butterfly: The Seven Laws of Healing. Dr. Reebs specializes in resolving chronic disease with natural medicine and is here today to discuss the ways you can incorporate the seven laws of healing into your journey. Dr. Reebs considers himself merely a colleague of the vital force and wants to help you work with the laws of vitality rather than against them.

The triangle of chronic disease; toxicity, deficiency, and vital force, all respond not only to your energy and environment but also your thoughts and feelings. Dr. Reebs believes that the law of intention is directly impacted by the law of vitality, and it is only by believing in our own innate ability to heal that we can truly begin to walk down that road.

Science is only now just proving many traditional treatments that our ancestors have used for centuries. By marrying the concepts of art and science, Dr. Reebs uses homeopathy to combine different therapies and plants so that his patients can strengthen their ability to heal through the vital force. By honoring, loving, and listening to yourself, Dr. Reebs is proof that true healing is possible.

Are you ready to apply the seven laws of healing to your journey? Share how you feel about the role of naturopathic medicine in resolving and preventing disease with us in the comments on the episode page.

In This Episode

The importance of envisioning and believing in your ability to heal
Learn about the Seven Laws of Healing and how to apply them to your journey
How to use pharmaceuticals in the right way to support vitality compensation
Discover how homeopathic medicine works within the law of resonance
Why you may find your greatest gift in the place you have been wounded most

Quotes

"The first law is the law of vitality. And it is really this idea of the vital force… this innate healing capacity, this idea that the body is always working to heal itself. It is always working for us to restore normal structure and function. It is actually innate programming in the very cells of our biology." (5:46)

"It really begins with the intention to get well. With being open to the possibility that we can get well, and if we don't believe that we can get well, it is a lot more challenging." (9:41)

"They all kind of prove that the law of resonance really is a real thing. And so certain therapies resonate with certain patients, certain medicines resonate with certain diseases, and I think that the #1 medicine would be homeopathic medicine because it really illustrates the law of resonance. Because we can use homeopathic medicines that resonate with a certain disease pattern." (23:13)

"Plants can be used like drugs, and they produce primary effects and secondary effects." (27:50)

"Where we have been hurt is actually where our strength lies, its where our journey begins. So we have to go in and find that pain." (35:30)

"You don't need to drive your car into a tree, so to speak, for these things to happen, if you are willing to listen." (10:18)

And not from the falls, that has rewired from the work that I have done." (30:53)
