Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 632 What can biohacking reveal about your life and why is it a more masculine approach to holistic health? Jerry Kuykendall, Founder of Biohacking Truth, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 632, to share why he approaches biohacking as a holistic health tool, how you can use attunement to heal, and why self-love is the key ingredient that will end your suffering.

If that's what you truly authentically want to do, then decipher the symbol that the biohacking world is pulling out of you.

Where there is fear, there's an absence of faith. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Biohacking Is a Masculine Approach to Healing "Women are being asked to be more masculine in the world and men are being encouraged to be more feminine. I think that biohacking is the masculine representation of holistic health. So perhaps, some of the women that would be more attracted to biohacking, there might be something in their internal world or external world that leads them to believe that they need to approach it in this way." - Jerry Kuykendall Are You Judging Yourself? "Why are you withholding your best self while at the same time judging yourself for not being your best self?" - Jerry Kuykendall Attunement "Through attunement we can be aware, through attunement we can accept, through attunement we can dismantle, through attunement we can turn that ship around, knowing that we'll be pointing in the wrong direction for the majority of that turn." - Jerry Kuykendall Links From Today's Show  Jerry Kuykendall Email Jerry for 20% off a Biohacking Truth program with code "WW20" at Jerry@biohackingtruth.com 503 Paul Levy | Wetiko: Break Free From Collective Mass Psychosis 293 Dr. Jade Teta: How To Be A Next Level Human 275 The Revolution Is Here: Paul Chek 482 Dave Asprey | Advanced Biohacking For Body Mind & Spirit: How To Train A Healthy Brain, Boost Your Flow State + Remove False Beliefs Quantum Consciousness: The Guide to Experiencing Quantum Psychology by Dr. Stephen Wolinsky Way of Human, Volume II by Dr. Stephen Wolinsky David Goggins What About Bob?

It's Josh Trent. This is Wellness + Wisdom, the place, the podcast, where every single week, every single day of my life and yours, whether you know it or not, it's definitely what attracted you here to this podcast. We learn how to gather, how to apply, how to embody the wellness and the wisdom to nourish, to truly feed and nourish these 5 sides of self. You know, we call this the Wellness Pentagon. It's the very best optimized, actualized version of yourself in your mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial self. It's the part of you that makes up all of you and we break off these 5 sides so that you can practically use this wisdom in your life. This is an AMA (if you're looking for our full-length episodes they're released on Tuesdays) but I think you're in for a total treat today because we have some very very hard-hitting questions... [06:05] Trauma Detox + Healing on a Budget This is our first question today on the AMA. We're only going with two questions, which is actually Mar's suggestion, which I love because it allows us to go a lot deeper into the many layers of the sometimes finite and sometimes infinite solutions that occur for some of these questions and some of these puzzles that we're trying to figure out how to solve. So let's listen to Christina. This is our first question today for the AMA. And Christina is gonna ask us about trauma on a budget. What tips do you have for families who don't have much money but are trying to detox and heal from trauma and mold and all sorts of other exposures? There seem to be so many wonderful and herbs and things that are out there, but so many of them are outside of my reach due to finances. Just wondering if there, what other ways there are to achieve healing. Thank you so much. I can literally feel Christina's heart. I almost could tell she was maybe in like a middle economic area or a lower area in potentially the South or the panhandle, or I don't know where you are, Christina, and none of that is judgment. It's just my perception, right? So wherever you are, it sounds like the budget's really for you. And I, first of all, just want to presence that and honor that and acknowledge that. I was born into a construct of welfare, which means government red tape, Section 8 housing, eating Velveeta cheese and Kix cereal, and no vegetables. I've been there, I really have. And so when I offer some of these tools today, I really want you to breathe into them and take them to heart because it's not about just getting super expensive therapy. It's not about asking only why something happened. It's really about seeing how all of this, every single thing that has happened for you is happening for your own awakening. And when I say awakening, I mean when terrible things occur and when challenging things occur, they are literally pushing you, fueling you, pulling you forward into a place you've never been. It's the exercise of the agency of the power of your own choice. And this is going to allow you to step into this beautiful, evolved, incredible, incredible version of Christina, which by the way, that version was the one asking. That version in you was the one asking, how do I do this? Because even with your exterior circumstances of low money, your heart and your soul are still being guided to ask, How do I heal? How do I move forward? And that part of you that I'm talking to right now, that is the part of you that's already fully evolved in the future. It just happens to be speaking with us right here in this moment. So feel into this. The very first thing I want you to do is want you to get free resources. Now, free does not always mean quality, but you can trust me that I did not fill the free resources I'm about to give you with junk. So first thing, head over to JoshTrent.com/M21. And this is for you, Christina, and all of us to begin. In this understanding process of how do we even access where our trauma is so we can understand where it's there, why it's there, how it's there, who put it there, are we holding it there? There's an inventory process we're gonna talk about in a moment here called the EI2 process, but everything begins with breath. It's the first thing you do when you're born. It's the last thing you do when you die. And in this space, we create meaning for breathing. We just create a meaning for our life. And all of these breaths that either guide us towards love or guide us towards fear, it actually is voluntary and involuntary. So there's some free breathwork training at JoshTrent.com/M21. There's also a journaling prompt and there are some resources there for you and it's totally free and it's totally quality, that is a beautiful place to start. Mar, we talked about breathwork quite a bit. Before we get into the aspects for Christina and for all of us, have you gone to the depths of your soul with breathwork? Specifically some of the Stan Grof holotropic methods or anything more intense, or have you focused more on just breathing and box breathing and circle breathing? So I don't think I've been focused on breathing and breathwork as you have. I'm not sure why. Sometimes I use it when I begin a meditation, but I never use breathwork as a tool on its own. I have tried a practice with a man who specializes in DMT breathwork, which brings you to a really deep meditative state. And that was an amazing experience. It's really amazing to see what your own breath can do to your body and your mind. Yeah, no doubt. And you bring up a great point because we can have these almost peak experiences like you described. So we have these peak experiences, we go to, and this all relates to your question, Christina. We go to Tony Robbins, we go to a healing weekend. We have these crazy experiences where we touch God or we touch ourselves. And then what? How do we integrate it? How do we embody it? How do we apply it? This is the arc of wellness that we talk about so much... [25:20] What Is Josh Trent Going Through Right Now? The next question is from Errin, my soul sister. I love you, Errin, Errin Smith. She's coming out with an incredible project. I can't even tell you yet how excited I am for this, but I'm going to have her on the podcast, and let's listen to what Errin today. She went deep, of course, she put me on the spot. Let's go, Errin. What's up, Josh Trent and the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast? I've got a question for you based on the incredible podcast episode you did with Carrie, the beautiful goddess mother of your children. That podcast was my all-time favorite because it was so human and raw and real and vulnerable and the gloves were off and the masks were off and you left it all out on the table and you were just so wide open. And that's I think what everybody craves to hear that we're all human and we're all going through it together. And so I would love to hear what is Josh Trent going through right now. Are you struggling with anything in specific in human experience? What are you struggling with right now? And how are you holding up the mirror? What do you see when you look in the mirror? How are you healing from it, navigating it, loving it, honoring it, alchemizing it? What's your process for healing? What's your roadmap for healing when Josh is going through some stuff? And what are the beautiful gifts and lessons that are inside of it. Because I've noticed this whole entire last year in my life has been so much rugs being pulled out from underneath me, the struggle, so many things. And in every single moment of those struggles, there has been a beautiful, beautiful gift inside of it if we choose to see it. And I'm just wondering what is the beautiful gift inside you right now? Come on, Errin, put me on the spot.

The body lets us know when something is off. What changed when Kylie and Mark got back together after breaking up. There's nothing broken, there's something to be healed. [23:25] Devotion to Truth Liberation is the ultimate devotion to truth. What it means to be coherent. Understanding what is true in our body and our being. Why we need a lot of self-trust to honor our decisions. How we choose other things and people over ourselves. [30:10] The Power of Being Present How we become reductionists in relationships and spirituality. Why many of us are looking for a quick fix. How we bypass the present moment by being on our phones. What to do to reverse codependency. Why hitting rock bottom can actually help us. We're not using enough of the gifts we naturally have as humans. [38:10] Relationship 1.0 We internally know when we shouldn't trust someone. Why Kylie didn't trust herself and the world when she was younger. Needing a man to feel safe was her old survival pattern. Why she needed to break the intergenerational cycles before having a child. Women need to tap into their anger. [45:40] Birth Has Become a Commodity 628 Eric Clopper | The Truth About Circumcision: Ending Male Genital Mutilation + Reclaiming Fetal Innocence The pressure and challenges Mark has come across after becoming a father.

How we can move towards something that is a 'yes' for us. [01:06:50] How to Regulate Your Nervous System There has not been a template for a woman to navigate changes. Challenging the norms makes us the black sheep. Language is a gateway to the nervous system when we ourselves are regulated. We need the nervous capacity in order to create a change. Wait But Why Being single is an opportunity to create transformation. How cold plunging helps us create more space between our reaction and our conscious choice. [01:13:10] Liberate Yourself from Codependency The opposite of codependency is authentic co-creation. Codependency is directly tied to our nervous system. How we learn to shut parts of ourselves down over time. What our fear around relationships truly tells us. The importance of bringing our truth to our partner. [01:20:10] Choose Yourself The lessons Mark learned along his journey. It's okay to leave relationships where we don't feel fully chosen and choose ourselves. The brain and the heart work together. Why we get easily thrown out of balance by fear. [01:28:40] Spread The Wings The meaning behind the bird on the book cover. We need to know from ourselves that we are safe.

We're playing out our survival strategies in self-protection mode, doing what we learned how to do in order to survive our earlier family system dynamics, and we're just repeating that in our adult dynamics now." - Kylie McBeath Coming to Truth "There is no coming to change without coming to truth. You can't change if you don't acknowledge your circumstances and your way of being because you can't change something you don't accept as true." - Mark Groves Liberation Through Limitation: Become Solid in Your Foundation "The majority of us don't know what it feels like to be in our center, don't know what it feels like to have inner authority, don't know what it feels like to be really solid in our foundation. Liberation through limitation allows us to see the blind spots; where we're still trying to source validation, where we're still trying to source security or safety from someone at the expense of our wholeness." - Kylie McBeath Links From Today's Show  Mark Groves Kylie McBeath Liberated Love: Release Codependent Patterns and Create the Love You Desire by Mark Groves and Kylie McBeath 302 Mark Groves: Create The Love 386 Mark Groves | Create More Love: How To Deal w/ Breakups, Boundaries, & Beyond 366 Mark Wolynn | How To Heal Generational Trauma: The Thoughts, Feelings, Patterns & Behaviors Formed Before You Were Ever Born Marriage, a History: How Love Conquered Marriage by Stephanie Coontz 628 Eric Clopper | The Truth About Circumcision: Ending Male Genital Mutilation + Reclaiming Fetal Innocence Wait But Why What Is Wellness?

Wellness + Wisdom Episode 629 Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host and Wellness Force Media CEO, Josh Trent, shares how Wetiko manifests in intimate relationships, how can light support your cancer healing journey, and what to do and avoid when you're dealing with mold. Send Josh your AMA Question HERE! Today's Questions Jaki: I am curious to hear how you navigate the shadow or rather when pushing up against edges in your partnership with your beloved. I find that when my triggers are triggered, when my shadow is triggered, I get into the Wetiko and it sometimes can be so engulfing that I'm just this emotional wreck, and how I perceive everything is such a delusion and not reality. How do you navigate that and how do you show up better? Shere: If you had breast cancer, which would you use if you could only choose 1, the infrared light therapy or the sauna, and your reason why? Thank you so much. Dr. Ashley Beckman: I'm wondering if you have checked to see if you've been exposed to toxic mold. I am Dr. Ashley Beckman, and I check this with all of my clients if I feel like there is a need to, and I want to see if it's a piece of your health puzzle. I see it in over 90% of my clients, and it's the biggest driver that I have seen for root causes of mystery symptoms, autoimmune issues and just feeling unwell. 25% Off Seed Daily Synbiotic Use the code "25JOSHTRENT" for 25% off SEED'S DS-01® DAILY SYNBIOTIC FOR 18+ AGE GROUP For Gastrointestinal + Whole-body Health 2-in-1 capsule-in-capsule probiotic and prebiotic.

This is Wellness + Wisdom. It's a podcast where, as always, we nourish these 5 sides of ourselves. You know the ones I'm talking about. The mental, the physical, the emotional, the spiritual, and the financial. All the things that we signed up to be the master of or be in mastery on planet Earth. You know, we call this the Wellness Pentagon. We're here to expand our knowledge today in an AMA talk about Wetiko in partnership. How do we navigate the darkness in ourselves? How do we go through cancer and get the right healing that we need? And also what are the myths around mold testing? We have a very mixed bag today on the AMA. [06:20] Wetiko in Relationships Okay, let's get into our first question today. I already touched on it a little bit. It's how to navigate with Wateco in partnership. And this is from Jaki. I've seen Jaki comment on a lot of our Instagram. Jaki, thank you for being such a loyal listener and somebody who really cares about their own wellness. First of all, before we even get into this, before we started working together, Mar, did you ever even hear of Wetiko? Did you know what Wetiko was? No, no, I first heard about it in the episode with Paul Levy. Yep. And when you first heard about it, did you say to yourself, wow, that's definitely been in my life before, or were you like, no, this is bullshit? No, it's definitely been in my life. I just didn't know there was this term for I didn't understand the dynamics of it. So how Paul described it in the episode, I feel like it really just gave perspective on it and just made it make sense to me. Yeah, Paul is a master, 40 years of Tibetan monastery work and meditation work will do that to you. Let's listen to Jaki's question. I think all of us can really resonate with this universal human experience in relationships the way that we don't want to show up. I am curious to hear how you navigate the shadow or rather when pushing up against edges in your partnership with your beloved. I find that when my triggers are triggered, when my shadow is triggered, I like get into the Wetiko and it literally sometimes can be so engulfing that I'm just this emotional wreck and I like just how I perceive everything is so such a delusion and not reality. So anyways, then it sometimes it seems like it takes a few days to like get out of that and then there's that like sense of guilt and for my behavior. Although I do pull back and I do the work, I think I'm doing the work, but like that subconscious so big, whatever that might be, unworthy of love, fear of being hurt. So anyways, I'm just curious when you and those spots where you are experiencing that that bigness. How do you move through that? How do you navigate that and how do you show up better? What a great question. So let's start with this False dichotomy that not just Teal Swan has brought up, but I want to say in many words or less, probably 200 or more guests that have been on the show. And it's this concept of holding 2 worlds, right? So how do you navigate with Wetiko and partnership? The very first thing that you do is you identify that Witeko is within you. It's within all of us, by the way. A great resource for this is Paul Levy, episode 503, JoshTrent.com/503, where Paul teaches us about these two worlds. And this is what I want to say, because this is actually probably the most complex question we have here, because when it comes to emotions or spiritual maladies or anything about human behavior, it's not always perfectly quantifiable to be able to explain or even decipher human behavior. So a great jumping-off point for this would be, Jaki, can you hold two worlds? Can you hold one world of compassion and understanding for yourself? That this trigger feels so fucking intense that it takes over your nervous system, that it takes away your breath, that all of a sudden you're behaving like your mother or your father and you're screaming at your significant other or your boyfriend and you pull back from that and realize, wow, who was that?... [25:55] Red Light Therapy for Breast Cancer Let's get to the next question, Mar. How do you pronounce her name? Is it "Cherie" or "Cher?" As a non-English native speaker, I cannot answer that question. Okay. Let's get to Shere. Hi Josh, If you had breast cancer, which would you use if you could only choose 1, the infrared light therapy or the sauna, and your reason why? Thank you so much. Well, first of all, Shere, I just have such a soft spot for your voice. I can feel your journey. You remind me of my grandmother's that I've had and you just touch a really beautiful spot in my heart. So thank you for having the courage to just ask that question. First and foremost, this is a disclaimer. Nothing we ever talk about on Wellness + Wisdom is ever medical advice, especially when it comes to a cancer journey, right? But here's what I will say and this comes from Scott Jackson who's been on the show JoshTrent.com/622. This comes from Zach Bush who's been on the show. We just had Scott Jackson on the show, which honestly, Shere, I think it's the most beautiful, powerful resource I think I can point you towards now, doesn't actually have anything to do with infrared light or with sauna. I think that's really a cover question. A cover question is where the meaning or the fear or the energy or the emanation point from the real desire is below the words that are used to cover the ego, essentially, not to call you out, we all have it. I've asked questions like this too. In other words, the ego is protecting us from the real answer that it wants because it's scared that the answer might or might be false. So this is a cover question. Hey, Josh does infrared light or a sauna help me more support a cancer journey? I wanna be really gentle with you too, because like I said, I can feel your heart, Sheree, and I can have the most sincere compassion for the journey that you're on. I don't know what it's like to be on that journey. I don't, because I've never been on it. But what I can say from all the people we've had on the show is that the cover you're asking points to a really deeper discovery. And the deeper discovery is, can I find homeostasis? Can I find the equilibrium and the feedback loop, the homeostatic feedback loop of all my organs, of all my nervous system, of my mind, body, spirit, and soul? And there's harmony that is being requested by your system. Otherwise, the cancer would not be there. Again, I'm very respectful of your journey. I'm very compassionate of your journey. But what I will share is the red light or the sauna, these are great things. I don't think one is better than the other. I think really what these are doing is, it's opening your and your heart up to new answers About why the cancer is there in the first place Because the cancer is there because of something or someone that happened a long time ago. Typically it's 10 years or more. I've heard one of my mentors, Paul Chek, say that cancer can take 10 years to form, but the origin of that cancer, either energetically, spiritually, physically, emotionally, or mentally, it happens at a decade point and then we experience it much later. Look at Scott Jackson. He had really intense drug abuse in his 20s and 30s. And it wasn't until he got to his 50s that the cancer came around. And when I felt into Scott and his heart and his energy, it's like, yeah, sometimes it takes a decade or 2 for stuff to show up on our body or in our mind or in our heart. And so I think it's really beautiful, Shere. And I wanna say that if I had to choose, and again, this is not medical advice, I wanna answer your cover question, and then I wanna get to the deeper homeostasis. The infrared light,

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 628 Why is circumcision leaving an imprint on boys for the rest of their lives? Eric Clopper, Leading Attorney and Activist in the movement to protect children from genital mutilation, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 628, to explain why male circumcision is genital mutilation and should be considered child abuse, why the U.S. must expand the laws to protect both male and female children from genital mutilation, and how his law firm, CLOPPER LAW, is planning to launch historic constitutional challenges to ensure that ALL children are protected. "The first sexual experience of most American and Jewish men is that they are sexually stimulated and then they feel the worst pain that they will probably feel in their entire life, as the most erogenous part of their body is crushed and amputated. It is not only an active mutilation of the penis, but it also causes an incredible myriad of complications which can include the loss of the entire penis or the death of the child." - Eric Clopper Support Eric Clopper's Nonprofit Intact Global, Inc., The Premier Nonprofit Dedicated to Ending Infant Genital Mutilation Go to www.clopper.com/donate Potential plaintiffs, collaborating lawyers, and donors may also email Eric Clopper directly at eric@clopper.com with questions, comments, and suggestions.

[57:45] Some Traditions Need to Die How traditions are passed onto new generations even though they don't have a valid reason to exist. Why Jewish men place a lot of importance on genital mutilation. Mutilation is a psychological delusion. How the law discriminated against genital mutilation based on gender. How informed consent is abused. What Eric's law firm is trying to achieve. [01:06:55] How Circumcision is Monetized Circumcision is a violation of a child's right to autonomy and physical integrity. How circumcision is monetized by the medical system. High Cost of Circumcision $5.7 Billion Annually The American Academy of Pediatrics views have been scientifically untenable. Circumcision can cause a complete loss of the penis or death of the child. Why foreskin is harvested to be used in cosmetics. Beauty Industry Part of Foreskin Flesh Trade, Anti-Circumcision Activists Warn [01:14:15] Don't Stay in The Victim Mindset Why people get stuck in the sadness so they can't move on to the anger. How playing a victim provides people with a feeling of justification. Why the Jewish tradition of genital mutilation is supported by people. [01:17:55] It's All About The Money Why Eric has been getting censored by large institutions. If you want to maintain a status quo, you can't offend anybody.

How his work is a contribution to the collective consciousness. [01:43:40] The Manifestation of Evil on Earth How circumcision is connected to the patriarchy. Why religions care about what is most profitable. What makes people believe that rich people are evil. Why Eric's trying to figure out how to make circumcision non-profitable. It's not worth living in fear.

Pharmaceutical companies are motivated by profits. Many people who circumcise children are barbers. Why foreskin is an important part of the penis. How foreskin allows for more pleasure for both men and women. The U.S. media continues to feed us the circumcision ideology. Why Eric finds it offensive that our tax money is used to support circumcision. [02:20:30] Male VS Female Circumcision + Sexuality Male and female circumcision are identical. How men are being told uncircumcised penis is abnormal. The female and male genital tissue is the same. How sexuality has been tainted by trauma. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Masturbation Prevention "John Harvey Kellogg said we need to circumcise our kids to prevent self-abuse, aka masturbation, so the child forever associates sexual pleasure with pain." - Eric Clopper Our Swords Are Unsheathed "As men, our swords are unsheathed. We're always irritated and ready for war. If you look at the Middle East, that's almost an entire genital mutilating area and they're the ones in chronic wars. Because if you abuse or inflict violence on your men, you're going to damage these individuals and they will in turn be damaged and damage others, including women." - Eric Clopper Metzitzah B'peh "Before the 1800s, a mohel would use his sharpened fingernails to shred the foreskin off of a child and some of the babies would bleed out and die. So rabbis instituted a new practice called Metzitzah B'peh sucking, which is after they'd shred the infant's genitals, they would suck on the bleeding penis. The thought behind it was if you get a cut, you may suck on it to stop it bleeding. But it seems overtly sexual to me to perform bloody fellatio on an infant. It's horrific, it's disgusting, and it spreads diseases and kills infants." - Eric Clopper Links From Today's Show  Eric Clopper Criminal cutting: break the circumcision taboo and end male general genital mutilation with Eric Clopper Sex & Circumcision: An American Love Story by Eric Clopper American Circumcision (2017) Local rabbi accused of infecting babies with herpes High Cost of Circumcision $5.7 Billion Annually Beauty Industry Part of Foreskin Flesh Trade, Anti-Circumcisi

Wellness + Wisdom Episode 627 Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host and Wellness Force Media CEO, Josh Trent, shares how the power of language impacts your life, what men can do to create a long-lasting relationship and intimacy with their women, and how to bring two families together. Send Josh your AMA Question HERE! Today's Questions Ian Vogel: Are there any words that you intentionally don't use because you find that they can impede your ability to communicate with somebody. I'm curious, are there any words or maybe speech patterns that you intentionally don't use because they get in the way? And if there are, how would you determine, or what's your criteria for determining whether a word is actually useful or not, or if you should banish it? Melissa: I'm starting a new relationship, I'm formally divorced and I have a child, and he is formally divorced and also has a child.

Question number one is from my homie who I've done training with, my friend, Ian Vogel. Let's tune in to what Ian has to say. Now, Mar, you and I picked this question because don't we, you and I, practice language together all the time, the most empowering language? Every single day. Yes. Before you had heard about this concept of language and like using language, had it ever come into your awareness the way that we use it with each other? Sometimes, but more Not in a sense like paying attention to every single word, but more like how I talk to myself in my head, especially. So like taking myself down and just like calling myself names when I do something wrong and just like these little details, but I haven't thought about it before in relation to other people and like how I actually express myself. So it was more about the inner talk. Yeah. Inner dialogue is definitely where outer dialogue comes from. That is for sure, which we're going to talk about in the critical factor today from Ian's question. So let's listen to what Ian has to say. Josh Trent, my man. I hope you're doing well. As always, I love the content you're putting out. My question for you revolves around language. Are there any words that you intentionally don't use because you find that they can impede your ability to communicate with somebody. For example, the first thing that pops into my head is the word shaman. I intentionally don't use that word because it seems to have a different meaning for everybody. And I find that using that word just muddies the water. So I'm curious, are there any words or maybe speech patterns that you intentionally don't use because they get in the way? And if there are, how would you determine, or what's your criteria for determining whether a word is actually useful or not, or if you should banish it? And maybe a quick follow-up question, Are there any words that you have banished from your dictionary or lexicon intentionally? I'd love to know. So good. Look at the word etymology, right? The word etymology is the study of the origin of words and the way in which that meaning has changed throughout history. I mean, that should be everything we need to know about why language is malleable. And language literally is a spell. So there's a practical scientific explanation for this, and then there's also a more grounded spiritual way to experience this. You know, I'll throw it to you, Mar, so you had said inner dialogue is something that you have been focusing on since we've been working together, And it's been something that I've been aware of since 2008, 2009. Am I perfect at practicing it? No. Do I do my best? Yes. But the one thing for me, and I'm curious how you feel before I go into both spiritual and scientific definitions for Ian, is this. Don't you believe that in communication, whoever uses language and then corrects themselves on the language they use is vulnerable, is authentic, and truly has the most power because there's nothing to hide? There's peacefulness in the way they communicate... [17:30] Blending Two Families Into One Let's go to the next question here. So our next question is from Melissa. I did the training with Melissa as well, too. Our NLP master prac training together. So let's see what Melissa has to say. Hi Josh, it's Melissa from Canada. I wanted to say thank you for the episode that you made with Carrie Michelle and for both sharing so openly in that episode about your experiences. After that time, having some time since then, I was wondering if you had any new learnings that you could share, kind of in general on relationships, and maybe even more specifically anything that you could share from the perspective of someone that, for me, starting a new relationship. So I'm starting a new relationship, I'm formally divorced and I have a child, and he is formally divorced and also has a child. So we are working through what that looks like to bring two families together and all the struggles of the past that we're trying to help each other heal through and move forward and build something. So What are your thoughts on that? Thanks so much, Josh. Amazing. So I can speak from what I know and I'm not gonna speak from what I don't know. What I do know is that even the question that Melissa is asking shows that she has the pure intention to bring healing to a blended family. And that's really what we're talking about, right? It's actually twofold. Before we get to the blended family, let's talk about this. For all y'all that have been through divorce, divorce can feel like the most gut-wrenching, most insane, most growth-producing, by the way, if you approach it from a learning lesson mentality that I think any man or woman could ever go through on planet Earth, really. I can't think of something more painful and more just abrupt to the nervous system, the heart, and the mind. So before you even blend the families, you have to create the container to do so. But the container to do so actually with you, because as we've talked about so much more on these AMAs, it is really about awareness first with everything. It's about know thy self, written on the temple at the Apollo in Greek mythology. So if we understand that the container is anything of creativity, of connection, of a blended family, it starts with, how are we, what is our intention inside of us? And how are we going to put that intention into the space, right? So the intention I would suggest for you would be to go deep within yourself and have a specific practice of emotional inventory. You can listen to our AMAs Or by the way, you can just meditate and get clear from journaling. You don't have to do my EI2 process. I know that it works, cause I do it myself. [28:30] How to Create a Harmonious Relationship Let's move on to the last question. It is from Archer. I met Archer here in Austin. And by the way, y'all, all your questions can be dropped at JoshTrent.com/AMA. So 90 seconds or less, it's so easy. And if you've been wanting to just get a place, get to a place different than been in a long time, or just some different thoughts or different feedback, or you want to pose a question because you're interested in the evolution of humanity. It doesn't have to be deep. It can be deep because I like it deep. That's my preference. Okay, let's hear from Archer. Hello, Josh and the wellness and wisdom team. Thank you all so much for what you do. I've got a question for the AMA. In your opinion, what are the top 3 things that men can do to improve and sustain their relationships, and marriages, women and even outside of providing and provision? So yeah, what are the top 3 things men can do to create harmonious, long-lasting, beautiful relationships and marriages? So good. Before I answer this, Mar, what do you think women want from their men? That's the million-dollar question. What do women want? I think most women don't even know what they want. I think that's the main issue. So I think a lot of us, and this is based on Alison Armstrong's work, The Queen's Code, a lot of women just expect to have another woman, somebody who shows up as their bestie, right? As another woman. And when they meet a man, they don't realize that men work and act completely differently than women. And this was a really wake-up call for me. So Alison Armstrong's Queen's Code, it really opened my eyes and I really recommend all the women to listen to it because, oh my God, it's life-changing. Were you a frog farmer? Yes. Oh, big-time frog farmer. Y'all need... y'all get to see. I just caught myself, right? You don't need to listen to the episode because nothing I say you ever have to do. We're just here to present information and a

Who is our first question from? We have Stacie and she's a volleyball coach. So this is going to be interesting because she's teaching young girls. And I'm not sure if boys too, volleyball at high school. All right, let's hear from Stacie because I actually used to coach Volleyball players. This is back in the day, Mission Beach, California. Shout out to the Wave House, which used to exist there. But let's hear from Stacie and how to navigate the stresses of change. Hey Josh, thank you for this opportunity. My question is, I'm going to preface it with, I'm a beach volleyball coach, and I help kids through some first big life transitions, trying to get committed to playing college volleyball. What advice would you give them to manage stepping into something uncomfortable and unknown and what practices would help them navigate the stresses of it? Okay, navigating stress is the big one. So thanks for your question, Stacie. I used to be a coach and I was a trainer for 10 years. And so a lot of what I learned when, I guess it was 10,000 hours plus, actually much more than that, but maybe a baseline 10,000 hours, all human stressors are universal. So we'll just start there. Everybody experiences stress in the same way, but to the degree that our nervous system has been encoded by lowercase and capital T trauma, that's the degree in which we have the capacity to feel our stress or to process our stress. So I actually think if I were to do it all over again when I was coaching the volleyball players and these were women that in the AVP or that were trying out for the AVP. And I remember they were all dealing with the same stuff we were dealing and they had the stressors of performing as an athlete. Now for college volleyball players, they have even less life experience because they're typically, you know, 18 to 20-ish. And so they don't have a big repository of life experience to pull upon. And so the best way that I would do it if I were you, and what I would go back and change in time based on what I know now, is I would actually have an introductory questionnaire, like a PARQ if you're a personal trainer. And I would make sure in that par-q that I did an emotional inventory with the athletes. And I would actually have specific questions laid out so they could get their stress out of their mind and get it onto paper or get it onto a video. Some type of way that you as a coach or you as a guide, that's really what you are. You know, you're half coach and you're also half life coach because the stresses of change happen because these are being pushed to their max. And so whatever their degree of capacity for processing stress is, you have to know that. You have to get inside of their psyche and really understand what has happened in their life to think the way they do. Because the stressors and the things that have happened for them in their life are going up on the court. It's the same way they're gonna play their sport. So I would have a questionnaire that dove deep into emotional inventory. What is your relationship with your mother? What's your relationship with your father? How was childhood for you? Can you scan above your timeline and figure out what were the key events that trained you to associate with stress? And then what are your coping mechanisms? I would have a list for these athletes that their coping mechanisms are raw and honest with themselves. Do they drink? Do they smoke? Do they party? What are the ways in which they mash down their feelings and mash down their fears so you can start helping them decouple from those coping mechanisms? Now, granted, none of this is like psychological advice. I'm not a therapist, but I just see patterns over and over and over and over again in myself with our guests and everyone else. A really powerful resource for this is episode 612 with Dr. Michael Gervais. He was a performance coach for many years, decades for NHL and NFL, and he talks about living an authentic life, and how to stop worrying about what other people think of you... [13:30] The Holistic Health Lens of Homeostasis Let's get to the next question. Who is our next question from here? It's from Hayley and she's asking about holistic health and there's a lot for you on this one. So let's listen to it. Hi Josh. When it comes to holistic health and really getting to the root cause of a person's health and well-being, what system in the body, mind, and spirit are you looking to first? Is it the digestive system? Is it the nervous system? Is it our energetic chakras? From your perspective and from all knowledge and wisdom, what is the first line of defense that you are looking to support and to nourish when we're looking at deep holistic health. It's so good. And I actually was feeling into this earlier. And I wonder, Hayley, are you talking about somebody who is dealing with a health issue? I think Mar and I had a consensus on that, that this is somebody with a health issue. ut also this question pertains to just homeostasis and optimization body, right? The key place to start with everything, everything, everything is the 1 marker in our body that rises when we're under psychological, emotional, mental, financial, or spiritual stress, right? I see things through the wellness lens because that's what I've learned in my life actually moves the needle. The one marker, the very most important thing that everyone gets to be aware of is inflammation. Inflammation is the barometer your body is truly at and the best inflammatory marker that I have come across and seen and we talked about this with Shawn Wells and Daniel Solomons in our episode 618. So just go to JoshTrent.com/618. This marker is called CRP, a C-reactive protein. So C-reactive protein is a measurement of actually what is on in your body? It leads to internal markers of stress, like oxidative stress, a good test for that is from Genova Diagnostics. So CRP and oxidative stress can rise together. Also, CRP can affect HDL-LDL. Also, CRP can affect heart health as a whole. It can affect blood sugar. They all feed into each other. And I guess the best way to describe this would be through a story a metaphor, right? Because that's how we all learn the most. Something I learned from my mentor, Paul Cech, in his book, in 2008, I read this book called How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy. And he talked about our allostatic load. Allostatic load is how much stress is in total from those 5 parts of the self. And also, by the way, relationships are in there as well, right? Relationships are both, relationships are all the things. So relationships are actually encoded into the lens of the wellness Pentagon. So all of these things can raise our CRP. Inflammation is essentially a marker of our body dealing with a stressor that's pulling it out of center or pulling it out of homeostasis. And in his book, Paul talks about allostatic load. Allostatic load, there's a bathtub and the bathtub is your capacity to process stress. And if water is the stress, water is filling up your bathtub, that's your allostatic

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 624 Is ancestral healing the solution to healing generational pain and trauma? Teal Swan, Spiritual Teacher, International Speaker, and Best-Selling Author, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 624, to share how to heal your lineage and generational pain through ancestral healing, how the modern lifestyle hurts women and especially single mothers, and what it takes to understand multidimensional truths. "We have every memory of every single ancestor in our body which means that we are literally inheriting memory. Each one of us in an amalgamation of multiple selves and that those selves have a very complex system of relationships." - Teal Swan 26% Off Ancestral Healing Course 26% off Ancestral Healing (no code - discount is automatically applied) Ancestral Healing incorporates shadow work into the healing process. The instructions and lessons are communicated in a clear, easy-to-understand way that anyone can follow and experience. Teal Swan uses her leading-edge modalities such as her version of parts work to facilitate major positive change and heal past wounds rather than covering them up with futile and empty affirmations or spiritual bypassing. Teal shares stories from her own personal experiences researching ancestry and explains what ancestral trauma is and how it gets passed down. She also touches on epigenetics, the truth about our DNA, and what it means to essentially ‘clear’ ancestral trauma. In This Episode, Teal Swan Uncovers: [01:30] The Struggles of Motherhood Teal Swan Ancestral Healing Course - 26% off (use this link) Why most people are struggling. How women are expected to do it all on their own. A single-family household doesn't provide sufficient resources to both the children and the parents. The purpose of being a mother. Our children can improve our society. [08:05] It Takes a Village to Raise a Child Why being a single mother and pursuing her purpose has been the most difficult thing in Teal's life. All children need multiple attachment figures. How Teal raised her son in a community. Why she would never put her son in a public school. Fathers are not being shamed for being famous, but mothers are. [13:50] Run from Fame There is a lack of freedom in fame. Why famous people can't easily trust and connect with people. We get many of our needs met when we put other people on a pedestal but we also feel unsafe. [17:00] Ancestral Healing: Heal Your Lineage Why Josh reached out to his father after going through the Ancestral Healing Course. What happens when we are in rejection of our parental figures. Cutting off our ancestors doesn't keep us safe from pain. [20:40] Understanding Resistance Ancestral problems are created by extreme traumas. Taking ownership of our family line patterns. Why we protect ourselves through avoidance. Our resistance can be an expression of our boundaries. Resistance informs us about our personal needs. We are an amalgamation of different selves. [28:10] Indirect Inherited Trauma How Teal's airplane anxiety is a pattern from her mother. Why she hired a genealogist to understand her family's history. How we get indirect inherited trauma from our ancestors. Teal's irrational fear of whales. 366 Mark Wolynn | How To Heal Generational Trauma: The Thoughts, Feelings, Patterns & Behaviors Formed Before You Were Ever Born What she does to heal her extreme fear. [39:15] Mastery of The Self Through Relationships We can't heal relational trauma outside of relationships. People turn to spirituality to run away from the vulnerability of relationships. Why people try to control or withdraw from relationships. Our resistance is a sign of an internal war. [45:10] Power Doesn't Provide Safety Why Teal doesn't want to do the things that go against other people's best interest. How having power gives people false safety. Why we can't be trusted with each other. Governmental systems limit our growth and potential, and we need to find a better model. [49:50] Healing Generational Pain How we collectively seek intimate connections and freedom. Why we're driven to understand other people's perspectives. The feeling of powerlessness activates our coping mechanisms. Large cultural movements happen because of ancestral pain. How the protector and rejector models manifest in today's world. Why we need to become aware of the problems that come with the path we choose for ourselves. [56:40] Power Struggle We never know what we don't see. How Teal faced her own power struggles. Why we will never be better than somebody else. How trying to be the best is a protective mechanism. How Teal uses an intense level of presence to ease people's dysregulation. [01:03:10] Emotions + Suffering Men have an issue feeling their emotions. Male resistance to their emotions causes resistance to female emotions. How children learn to make everything in life predictable to feel safe. Why some people don't have struggles in their lives. Some people get inspired by suffering and some people let it consume them. No two siblings had the same childhood. [01:11:30] The Shadow Side of Patriarchy + Feminism How Teal is related to almost all U.S. presidents. The dark side of patriarchy. How the masculine traits can either be used to do good or to cause harm. People can surrender to a man who is able to take others as a part of himself. How the shadow side of feminism is eradicating men. The difference between female and male warriors. [01:21:00] The Feminine + The Masculine Why men need to provide containment to be in alignment. How women need to learn to fully trust men in order for to receive containment from them. We need a partner who is willing to grow with us. How dating apps can keep us isolated. Our nervous system can't handle the amount of threats we obtain through the news. [01:27:15] Connect with Nature Fluoride blocks non-physical information to come through the brain. Technology makes us more disconnected. How emotional neglect causes people to not know what they're missing. Our disconnect from nature and our environment makes us suffer. We are too busy to focus on connecting with nature. [01:34:15] Multidimensional Awareness Teal's gift of seeing people's energy. How she sees fractals everywhere at all times just like when people take plant medicine. Mastering our relationships is what is going to save us. Each dimension has different rules and truths, but in multidimensional realities multiple truths are true. How spiritual teachers negate people's reality in the 3D world. Why Teal's work is to undo other spiritual teachers' teachings. [01:42:30] Embracing The Darkness + Light Religions were made to control people. We can extract pieces of wisdom from different religions. Where our free will comes from. The changes Teal would like to see in the world. How her feminine side influences her teachings. Why she struggles with the temporal physical world. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts ❄️ Biohack Your Mind & Body with Plunge Ice Baths!

We are literally eradicating men becase the wounds that feminine has experienced with the masculine have gotten to the point where there's a desire for them not to exist." - Teal Swan Women Can't + Shouldn't Have to Do It All "As women, we want to think that we can do it all and that we're expected to do it all, even though it causes us pain. But we keep fueling ourselves and each other with this illusion and because of it, children are suffering, we are suffering, and we're unable to set up the right structure within society to make it so that children can thrive." - Teal Swan Why Do Some People Turn to Spirituality? "The vast majority of people who are pushed towards the spiritual field are pushed there because of relational trauma. They've experienced enough pain with people that they're no longer looking to people for their answers, they're looking to connect with something else. Usually that's when people turn to the spiritual realm." - Teal Swan Links From Today's Show  Teal Swan Ancestral Healing Course - 30% off (use this link) 366 Mark Wolynn | How To Heal Generational Trauma: The Thoughts, Feelings, Patterns & Behaviors Formed Before You Were Ever Born   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” ⁠ClockWize Fertility Test - Save 10% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code "JOSH10" PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code “WELLNESSFORCE" SiPhox - 10% off with code "JOSH" BON CHARGE - 15% off with discount code "JOSH15" Defender Shield - 10% off with discount code "TRENT10" Neuvana - 15% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Nutrition + Gut Health SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code "25JOSHTRENT" EONS Mushroom Coffee - 20% off with the discount code "JOSH20" Tiny

Hey Josh, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all you do and for all you share. My question is dealing with a relationship with marriage. When you are going through the crazy cycle over and over again, you keep having the same issues and you want to reach out for help, but you're looking for something that's maybe more somatic over talk therapy. Is there anything that you would recommend for that? It would be great to know. Thanks a lot. Okay. First of all, amazing question because who can not relate to that, right? Whether you've been in any relationship ever, or whether you're in a 5, 10, or 20-year marriage, these are all really important things to figure out how do we create the most loving place here? How do we get to the most loving place within ourselves first? It is true nature, don't you agree Mar, that our partner is our teacher. In other words, our triggers are invitations for us to look at what bothers us about ourselves. Have you felt that in some way? 100%. It Played out in a relationship that I had a couple of years ago in a way I didn't expect and never wished for but in the end, it showed me the things that I needed to look at and wasn't willing to look at Until I was completely forced to so yeah, they're definitely a teacher Yeah, Jacqueline. I feel you so I'm I'm not in a marriage per se, but I'm in a five-year sacred union on its way to marriage at some point. And I also want to share with you, marriage is a construct that was brought to North America from a place that wasn't fully loving. The original meaning of marriage I think, and I'm going to answer your question here, was to pass land and title. We talked about this in an upcoming with Mark Groves and Kylie Macbeth where we really explored, not just the etymology of the word marriage, but also the origin of marriage. So with that as a speaking point, as a jumping-off point, it's really important to go back to before you were married. Start with the end in mind, but also identify how you started the thing, whatever the thing is. So we're talking about marriage, a sacred relationship. Think about if you could take a deep breath and just close your eyes right now. If you're in your car driving, don't do this, like pull over, but close your eyes, take a deep breath, and float 30,000 feet above your entire life. And look at the most significant points in your marriage or in your relationship, go all the way back to the beginning, Jaclyn. Remember how you felt in your body and in your heart when you met your man, when you fell in love with him when you started to cultivate trust, and when you started to understand that he was the one you, and go back to that. And feel in your body right now what it felt like then. Just take a moment, put your hand on your heart, put your hand on your stomach, take a big deep breath through your nose, feel your belly. Exhale, a couple more times while you're listening. And just know that that is still there... [18:15] Freedom-Focused Care Let's get to the next question. Okay, this next question is from Dr. Stanton Hom, who was a guest on the podcast and he's such an amazing chiropractor just freedom, I don't wanna say freedom fighter cause he's a freedom advocate, right? Whatever we fight against, we fuel. So he's a great freedom advocate. He's an incredible father and podcast host. Make sure you check out Future Generations. Let's hear from Stanton. My brother Josh, Dr. Stanton Hom here, future generations. I feel like I've been on a 3-and-a-half, 4-year deployment. Being someone who is a combat veteran, somebody who has seen his friends die in combat, I sit here in the wake of this four-year psychological operation. I feel very blessed that you and I have had several conversations illuminating many of the sources, many of the root causes, but also many of the ways that humanity has responded in the most inspiring ways, but also in some of the most in many respects negligent or absent ways. I'm curious what you think is the key right? The powers that be, those people pulling the puppet strings behind the systems, behind your doctors, your public health officials, your legislators don't care about you, are bringing the war to our devices and are bringing the war to our children. What are some of the top things you believe must rise to? Wow, talk about a bomb drop question. Let's unpack it slow because... So Dr. Stanton is talking about what we've experienced in North America, which is, you know, USA and Canada. But what happened in 2020 with the lockdowns and the COVID theater and the outsourcing of our own agency autonomy happened globally. And I'm sure you felt it as well, Mar wherever you were. And the way that I think we can start this conversation, it's quite nuanced would be, what are the actual facts that don't have anything to do with a narrative of interest? What do I mean by that? The facts are that we are all feeling this interstitial tension. And I know we feel it all the time, whether it's government or policy or politics or finance or control or permitting at how many things we have to go through just to drive a car, just to own a home, just to be a human being in this world. And quite frankly, what's really hard to swallow is that the United States of America, as well as all countries, are actually corporations. Now, this is something you can easily search for. It is not the common narrative. So I'm gonna present things that I know, Stanton, you're on board with, but it's going to be very uncomfortable to hear. All of us are being monetized at all times. We're being monetized at all times, specifically through 2 vehicles, anxiety and depression. And so really Stanton, the bulk of your question is where do we go from here and what do we get to focus on from here? We first get to identify that these anxiety and depression, energy and motions, these energies we feel, they're actually our protectors. And we talked about this last week where, you know, Mar, I think you even asked me, should we rename the title? Because is anxiety and depression really self-love or is it something else? And it's a paradox because anxiety is a focus on the future. It's a fear of the future. Depression is a rumination or a saturation of the past, shame, blame, what I could have done differently, did I fuck it up, blah, blah, blah. And we're never gonna get out of these energies c

If you're just focused on spirituality as your path for development, then you're missing a huge part of who you are that must be developed. The thing that you're working towards is already ever-present right now and always has been. That which you want to become is already who you are." - Scott Jackson ❄️ Biohack Your Mind & Body with Plunge Ice Baths!

Everything has a light side and a dark side. 555 Mike Dillard | Richer Every Day: How To WIN The War on Your Money + Mind [05:50] The Paradox of Time There are many paradoxes in the process of awakening. Everything happens in the now. Why people have a fear-based relationship with time. Relationships and money get us caught up in the realm of time. How you can use the concept of time with intentionality. Why emotional attachment is causing us suffering. [11:25] Spiritual Journey Becoming sober was the beginning of Scott's personal development and spiritual journey. Why he said 'yes' to everything. What led him to finally find God. How he began to experience the connection with God. [15:50] Self-Development + Integration What it truly means to be integrated. Why it took Scott a long time to understand integration. We can be highly spiritually developed but not have emotional intelligence. Why self-actualization wasn't accessible to past generations. There are many parts of us that need to develop outside of spirituality. Understanding what your motivation is to grow. [23:00] Inspiring Others to Love How can more people be inspired to want to grow. Moving from dual to non-dual reality. The illusion of the separate self. Why we forget that we are love and that we are not separate. It's easier to be in silence than interacting with people. Life happens in relationships. [30:25] The Path of Suffering The pursuit of less suffering can increase more suffering. Handling Fear: Talks on Spirituality and Modern Life by Marianne Williamson Why most people choose the path of pain over the path of joy. How different stages of development allow us to feel new emotions. [34:15] Unconscious Incompetence Unconscious incompetence: we don't know what we don't know. It's our responsibility to contribute to the evolution of consciousness. Why we need to create more connection and share inspiration with others. Scott's dharma is to contribute to bringing people to love. We experience suffering because our reality is distorted. [41:45] Integral Wisdom Scott's initiation into the spiritual world. Why his father's passing was a catalyst experience. Integrating spiritual, emotional, and psychological wisdom. Why healing is a spiral and why our struggles return even though we thought we healed. The craftiness of the ego shames our healing process. Healing takes place when space is held for us. [50:50] How to Become Integrated Why Scott doesn't think he's fully integrated. A Brief History of Everything by Ken Wilber How we can develop our emotional, mental, and spiritual body to become integrated in our thinking and behaviors. Why integral healing is what will truly change the world. Understanding the needs of others facilitates conversations where needs are met. An integral thinker has the ability to connect different perspectives. [57:30] Choose Outrageous Love How Josh reacts to hateful messages. Why the answer to outrageous rage is outrageous love. The ways Scott catches his unconscious behavior. Outrageous love can be doing the opposite of what you normally do. Dr. Marc Gafni If all reality is love, then all of reality is a love story. Dysfunction in relationships is based on disagreement on different values. Love can be expressed at any level of our development. [01:07:10] Healing The Feminine Wound Why Scott pursued a path to know God. How he's cultivating his relationship with Goddess. His dad's passing created space to heal the wounded feminine. Scott didn't think about the feminine wounding because he was putting all of his energy into healing the masculine. How Scott's mom evoked many emotions in him which started a process of healing the feminine. [01:20:30] The Mind + Body Connection Being wounded is okay and not something we should shame ourselves about. How somatic awareness allows us to feel different emotions. Most people are identified with their thinking mind but are disconnected from what's happening in their body. Why Scott intentionally connects through his heart with others. Learning to trust ourselves and our intuition. [01:28:50] Healing The Inner Child 366 Mark Wolynn | How To Heal Generational Trauma: The Thoughts, Feelings, Patterns & Behaviors Formed Before You Were Ever Born The Psychic Roots of Disease: A New Medicine by Bjorn Eybl How Josh learned to understand his sinus problems. We can be responsible and playful at the same time. Why meeting his inner child changed Scott's trajectory of life. How his spiritual teacher permitted him to explore everything. We need to go through the separate self before we become integrated. [01:42:40] Pluralistic Relativism Why people resist self-growth. How pluralistic relativism shows up in our thinking. Doing something for the sake of doing it is a pluralistic level of thinking. How group environments create more separation. Why all consciousness is not of the same value. The Theory Of Everything by Stephen Hawking Wholearchy integrates all levels of consciousness into a system. [01:51:30] The Purpose of Self-Development Self-development can move us from an egocentric perspective to caring about the world. Increased awareness also changes our behaviors. How our desire to do good enables us to be pure and receive teachings. The difference between desire and craving. [02:01:35] The Whole Self The importance of developing the whole self. How NLP (neurolinguistic programming) helped Scott grow, solve problems, and think critically. Using language to create healing instead of creating wounds. Why NLP has a disconnect from spirituality. The whole self is a unique expression of who we are. [02:08:35] Remember Who You Are Life is an experience of remembering who we are. Solving the karma of this life and the previous ones. We're trying to become someone who we already are. Talking about problems is not going to solve them. The more flexibility we have in our thinking, the more we can work with people with different values and beliefs. A New Pair of Glasses by Chuck Chamberlain The solution to conscious separation is conscious unity. [02:22:00] Feminine + Masculine Archetypes How the pandemic allowed some people to raise their consciousness. Daniel Schmachtenberger Why we need to understand the feminine and masculine archetypes to be able to fully develop. How a man can provide feminine holding for another person. Using discernment in our lives. [02:21:30] Fear of Loss Why Scott's cancer is a journey of healing the feminine. How cancer brought him an existential crisis. Why he was worried about not fulfilling his dharma in this life. Exploring death and what it means to die. How to let go of attachment. [02:35:55] Love + Cosmocentric Vision All of us are worthy of love. Everybody would do the work if it was easy. Why we need to focus on helping people instead of dividing them. The culture of humanity is a culture of love. 603 Honoring Christian Oliver: What Death Teaches Us About Living A Generous Life Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Reality Is a Love Story "We can choose to outrageously love at any moment. If all of reality is love, then all of reality is a love story. We've gotta get humanity to share and agree upon love being the value, that is most important to us all, that is the reality." - Scott Jackson Death Doesn't Exist "I meditated in what it was to die, what it was to leave this life, leave this body, leave this storyline. And what happened was it all dissolved. There is no death. If I die next week or in 30 years, it's of no consequence. My job is to do what is present now, to be love now, to contribute now, not to worry. Who cares about what time there is left? It's of no consequence. And with no attachment, I'm free." - Scott Jackson Pluralistic Flatland "In pluralistic flatland, all hierarchies get flattened. Because in that type o

"What piece of advice would you give a brand-new mom who's struggling to feel like herself after giving birth?" Okay, first and foremost, I was raised by a single mom and a single mom on welfare, by the way. So if y'all don't know what welfare is in the United States, it's like Velveeta cheese and processed cereal and the food you could ever eat. Not to mention my dad was not at home. So, Christina, my heart goes out to you whether you have a husband or a man in the house or not. If you don't, then this question holds even more weight. Let's start with if you do have at home, a husband at home, a partner at home. So the best way for you to get back in your body is just to give yourself there's going to be 9 months or more, because you carry a child for 9 months typically, 9 months or more that you are going to go through an out-of-body and reintegration in-body experience. And I can speak from personal experience on this, Mar. Have you ever had a friend or a family member who's delivered a child? Yeah, a few. Did you notice their behavior was different or they just act differently once they had the child? It's just a lot of stress and lack of sleep. So I'm not surprised that people just, it brings the worst out of them because just don't have enough nourishment and enough sleep and enough, like anything that a person needs to feel well. Yeah, no doubt. The struggle is real y'all for single moms or moms with husbands. So let's start on model number 1 with a husband or a father. The best thing you can possibly do is from a grounded place. And I learned this from an episode we did with Margo Running. And Margo was telling me that when she broke up with the father of her children, she did all the work to come from the most loving grounded space and the way that she would speak about the children speak about the father. Now, going back to the first model, if the father is in the home, you can do the same thing. I've experienced just on a personal level, a lot of friction with Carrie Michelle, with my partner, with the mother of my children, because she was learning this new version of herself as a mom. I was learning this new version of myself as a father, especially when my son Nova was born in 2021. Oh my gosh. The phrase that comes to mind is the phoenix rising from the ashes. Because when you go through a birth process, Christina, you are literally being decimated. You're going through a birth and a death at the same time. And I think this is easy for men to forget for sure. I think women understand this on a more visceral level because to be, and I know this is a reductionized statement, women tend to be more in tune with their unconscious than men. I think it's just how they're wired for nurture... [11:50] Reparenting Your Adult Self All right, let's get to the next question, Mar. Who is next? Next, we have Maureen, and she also sent us an audio about reparenting her adult self. So it's going to be a good one. "Hi Josh, I am wanting to break through limitations and expand the field of possibilities for myself. I've been looking into inner child work, shadow work, and reparenting stuff recently. And I've made a list of child self-attributes and adult self-attributes for reparenting purposes. For the most part, I could see where I could adult my inner child parts but when I came down to the words the bottom felt pretty stuck. I reached a point where I haven't successfully adulted yet I realized where I am still juvenile and inexperienced in my development And that area is around wishing someone else would just take charge so I can in the world. I still want some sort of parentified figure, like a boss or even my husband, to set parameters and reassure me that I'm safe. And at that moment when I was trying to ask myself how I would parent self part of me who needed that kind of caretaker to feel safe in the world, I felt really at a loss. I don't know how to take charge and step into that role of an adult who enjoys and feels confident being in charge and at ease in the world in that position. So my child self doesn't have to live in fear. I had a bit of fear and anxiety around the idea of not knowing how to take charge. So my question to you is, how do I develop that adult self with the sense of confidence in taking charge of my own life and feeling safe to do so in the world. Thanks." Wow, what a beautiful question. I'm just like smiling right now. What a beautiful question. Gosh, I mean, can you relate to this Mar? Completely. I've been there myself and I might still be there sometimes these days. So I totally understand. Yeah, Maureen. It's so good. I'm curious to Mar before I go into the layers of this because layers here, Maureen. So we're only going to do 3. Well, we get to do 3 big, beautiful questions today on the AMA. And I really wanted to spend a good portion of time on this because this is not a question that we just want to breeze through. There are some really beautiful deep layers here. I'm curious When you heard Maureen's voice and when you felt her energy, what arose for you? What about your own life experience, Mar, could you relate to in her share? I would say it's just not allowing yourself or not giving yourself the permission to access all these spaces where you can feel safe, where you can express yourself and allow others to hear you and see you. Because what I noticed recently, I've always wanted to be seen and heard, but I also realized I was so scared to be seen and heard. So there's this internal blockage that's stopping you from what you actually want. And it's, it's so confusing, can be so confusing for a person to get through all of that. So that's something that came up for me. Would you say in those moments, and I'm not here to psychoanalyze you, I just think this is such good material for what she asked, for what Maureen asked. Would you say that there's one side of you that knows exactly what you want. And there's another side of you, maybe unconscious or an aspect of yourself unconsciously that wants something else. 100%. How would you describe that? I think there are some social constructs that I put on myself and that I need to get out of the way that are limiting me and some things that I also bring from my childhood that I need to unlearn in order to really be myself. That's what it is. Yes, All right. That's a great starting point. You said really be myself and that's it, isn't it? We all are on this journey and it's become very clear to me this year, 2024 y'all, I don't know if you feel it, like we're only a few months into the year. There has been more death, rebirth, physical death, spiritual death, emotional death... [30:05] Anxiety + Depression = Self-Love? Let's get on to the next question. What's the next one, Mar? All right, the next question we have is from Diane. "Hey Josh! For someone that struggles with both anxiety and depression where do I even fucking begin to address the way that I feel in my body when they hit me SO ha

Let's start with the masculinity that's in deprivation. This is from Anna. Let's listen to the question right now. "Do you think masculinity is in deprivation in our society of feminism?" Well, the short answer is yes. And I'll tell you why, but before I begin, Mar, you know, you and I were chatting about this before we jumped on, and there's a dark and a light to feminism. Now, you as a woman, right, The majority of our audience is women and also men who are interested in accessing the feminine inside of themselves. That's why we have the upside-down triangle in our company logo so that I can master that myself. From a feminine perspective, what do you think the light and the dark of feminism are in your, in your mental view? So I'm still in the process of figuring out what's the good part and what's the kind of negative feminism. I've never been involved in the feminist movement at all because my opinion is every moment that has gone is not serving its purpose anymore. And that has happened with every big movement, basically. So I do see it in a way that it has brought us some freedom in a sense we're not dependent only on men anymore, which in a sense is good, but in the same sense, we have become the masculine in the world as well, because we get to work every day and we get to earn our own money and take care of children and do everything on our own. And I don't think that's a good thing. We just do way too much. Right. It's beautiful. Look, so it's a great question, Anna, and I'll start by, We'll go into 3 different chunks here. I think any movement when it begins, it does come from a good place, right? And so women's suffrage has been happening for a long time. You know, Eckhart Tolle talked about the pain body of women. And just like a lake, if you were to throw a rock, which could essentially represent the dark side of the patriarchy, which is a real thing. Patriarchy and feminism both have a dark and a light. That rock of the dark side of patriarchy was thrown into the lake. And in some ways, in many ways, the ripple is still being felt by the feminine, by women in the world. So I'm not here to negate the suffrage of women or the pain that women feel. I am here to just bring a different perspective. So with that vantage point, when it started, feminism I believe was about getting women to a place where they feel empowered, where they feel free. Unfortunately, like most movements here in the matrix, that movement was captured early 1900s by the IRS and by top wealthy families in America. And it was a way to get women out of the house and into the workforce for this reason, to double the taxes that were actually collected. And also it sacrifices the family... [14:50] How to Build a Mental Grit What is our next question? We have one from Jackie. She's asking about your advice on building mental grit during these crazy times. "What is a way you can build resilience and grit in these crazy trying times with social media, 24-hour news cycle, etc? How can you build the skills needed to survive your mind during these crazy times? I appreciate your advice and your answer. Thank you." Isn't Jackie asking the quintessential question of our times? In this day and age where we're also quote, hyper-connected on social media, and we have the most perceived that we ever had, I think really what we're talking about here is a pseudo connection where our energy and really our focus is being harvested. I don't know about you, Mar, but I'm very aware of how much I'm on my phone. Do you have a great relationship with your phone or what is that like for you? I wouldn't call it a great relationship. I'm trying to get away from it as much as I can. And every time I'm in a real social situation interaction, I try to never use my phone. It's just, to me, it feels so rude when I'm face-to-face with somebody and they're just on their phone. I can't stand it and that's why I'm not doing that. But yeah, I'm definitely trying to bring the screen time down as much as I can. That's my goal. Yeah, it's well said. Y'all can go on your iPhone, I believe on your Android too. And you can look at your hours. It actually shows you on your phone how many times you pick it up and how much time you're spending on your phone. So if you think you don't have time, I challenge everyone who's here with us to pick up your phone and how much time you're spending on your phone. I remember we had a guest on the show. It was Dr. Kyra Bobinet and she was a neuroscientist. She told me something very, very powerful. She said, look, no matter if you have children or not, even as adults, we're all being trained. We're all being trained on a neurological level to seek comfort and to seek what's called reward circuitry in our limbic system from the phone itself. Another great resource for this is the episode we did with Nir Eyal, where he talked about the variable reward of cell phones. I think, Jackie, what your question really points to is the phone, because the phone and computers and social media, these are the devices and these are the things that are actually down our capacity to have mental grit. Look at our ancestors, right? They saw, and I'm talking like even our grandparents, Mar, they saw maybe 150 to 200 things that were high decision-making things that they needed to make decisions in life. We see 10,000 things or more. So it's like 20 to 100 X times of input that's coming at us all day long. We are human. We are half beast and half spirit. And so I think it's no surprise that all of us are struggling in some way with mental grit. Now, when you say crazy times, a lot of these crazy times are propagated by what we see on social. We've all heard the term doom scrolling, right? It's actually why Mar and myself and our entire team, we design content that can actually go out there and hook people where they are. And that is essentially maybe in the bathroom, going to the bathroom, doom scrolling, or on the trolley or whatever, like just going through your phone, trying to get some kind of a mental reward from just the normalcy of where you are. And I think what we've lost is the ability to just be present in a moment... [24:30] Find The Courage to Grow Let's get to the next question. It's from Joanna. So Joanna is calling out the new age bullshit and she wants to know the difference between forcing versus cultivating courage to accept life's purpose. It's so good. Oh my gosh, how many people can relate to this? Let's hear Joanna. "Hey Josh, my name is Joanna. And my question for you is, I've heard you in the past talk about how in the new age, people say things like, if it doesn't feel good, then don't do it. And I've heard you call BS on that. And I would love if you could elaborate more about that, specifically, like with differentiating between, like, if you're forcing something, and it's, you know, like, to just switch lanes versus like, something is meant for you. But it might just be hard, you know, like how do you differentiate clarity around the path? Because obviously it's going to be hard either way. So it might not feel good either way. I hope that makes sense." It makes perfect sense. So the analogy would be when to grit and when to quit and how to have the emotional mental faculty in order to know when you should be forcing something, which I believe now is never that I'll get into, versus cultivating the courage to accept your life purpose. And this is multi-layered. So let's spend some time on this one because this is a very contextual question. So in the new age, we have these phrases, Mar, like good vibes only. I've even seen T-shirts and sweatshirts. Have you seen these? Good vibes only, or like social memes? Love and light. What does that bring up for you when you see that? Well, I've been through a lot, I know it's not true. It's just one part of it. It's like we live in a dual world and so always the shadow part and we cannot ignore it. If we only focus on the light and the love and the good vibes only, we're missing out on a lot. No doubt. Yeah, and you know what we're missing out on is we're missing out on the human experience of just having a process in general. I'll never, ever, ever forget this. I was at Paleo FX back in the day when Paleo was happening here in Austin, and I was doing a live podcast with Christine Hassler. And she said, never a

[02:25] Medicinal Plants We have a recording from Sara L. Price. But before I play the recording, can you actually just read the words that she wrote? I actually really loved it. She put an emoji of hands together. This seems like a very spiritual woman. This seems like a very deep woman, Sara. I really think so too. So Sarah, Sarah Price, she asked, I would love to see an episode, it's not a question actually, it's more of a request, I would love to see an episode on your current thoughts around plant medicine, Bufo, ayahuasca, etc. Okay, let's hear what she has to say. "I'm so excited to ask this question because you have absolutely hinted episodes that your views on plant medicine ceremonies like ayahuasca have changed. And I'm only sitting there hoping that you will go deeper into this. And so, yes, my question is, how have your views on plant medicine ceremonies changed? And what are your views on other Indigenous medicine ceremonies like Bufo. Seems like we have a lot of friends who are sitting in ceremonies, and I just wanna know, what is up in your world? What do you make of it? Where are you at with it? What can you, like what insight can you learn from having sat in ceremonies regularly in the past? What can you share with us? I cannot wait. Cannot wait to hear." So here's what has changed for me the most. In 2018 and 2019, I got my ass kicked so profoundly by ayahuasca that it changed my vision. It changed my understanding of what plant medicine is actually for. The thing that I will say, Sarah, is that the most important piece of ceremony is the come from. If your come from is not pure, is not of loving service to yourself, is not connected to God through a spiritual hygiene practice, then you are potentially opening yourself up. And by the way, this is bufo, this is ayahuasca, this is all plant medicines, right? Anything and everything that is an entheogen or a psychedelic, your intention, your come from, I just can't say this enough because I learned by getting my face bloody, your come from is the most important thing... [11:35] Getting Over The Terror Barrier Let's move on to the next question from Lia. Mar, what does Lia want to know? So Lia, I think Lia is one of our most engaged audience members. She's awesome. Thank you, Lia. Yeah, thank you, Lia. And so she sent us a voice message about taking the jump in a relationship and career. And I think we should listen to it because I think it will explain it much better than I would. Let's listen. "Hi Josh, it's Lia from Sweden and my question to you is how do you get over the terror barrier for real? Take that step or the jump both in a relationship and career-wise, when you know in your body that something needs to change and not be stuck in the familiar patterns when those patterns don't serve you anymore. And it's a false safety. And there comes the fear of not taking action to thrive and do something else. Hope you get my question. And thank you for an awesome podcast. Much love." I think it's so cool that somebody from Sweden listens to the show. That's why you know, podcasting is such a beautiful wave that's touching people's hearts because people want long-form content that they can use and turn into wisdom. That's why we're here. So I have so much to say about this. I mean, this is like literally the entire episode, Mar, but let's do like 3 to 5 minutes here of just stream of consciousness. FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real You know, the phrase that came up for me is the acronym FEAR. False evidence appearing real. So just feel into that, right? There are 2 types of fear. There's rational fear and there's irrational fear. We all know what fear feels like. Your throat gets tight, your stomach gets queasy. Maybe you have to go to the bathroom. Some of these times are valid. They really are. Like fear is not necessarily a bad thing at all. And we talked about this with one of my favorite people in the world, Akshay Navati. This is where Akshay talked to us about loving our fear, which is really the most important thing. We get to love our fear, but before we love it, we have to know what it is, right? So fear in our nervous system is actually a good thing. It's a protector. If you were next to a cliff, Mar, there are tons of cliffs in the Azores, right? Like these massive, I saw online, there's like these 50, a hundred foot, 300-foot beautiful faces in the ocean. It's so gorgeous. When you get next to the cliff, you, you have to feel the fear because if you didn't feel that fear, that rational fear, you fly off the cliff, you'd, you'd perish, you'd go into the water. So I want you to feel this, Lia. Fear is not necessarily a bad thing. It's about loving it... [19:10] Raising Children What's the next question, Mar, today? So the next one, we have Marie's question, @mariemama111. How do you have a full-time career and children time without losing your mind? Or, maybe you already did. Yep, I already did. And that's actually good. You know what's cool about that phrase, losing your mind? I think even Michael Pollan did a book on that, right? The Omnivore's Dilemma, how to lose your mind. I think it was in some of his marketing. And I love that phrase because I want to lose my mind. I want to lose my mind so that I can actually make decisions from my soul and my heart. I want my mind to be a director. I want my mind to be a worker. I don't want my mind to be this controller master over me and my heart and soul. And so my children, specifically my son, has brought up all of my stuff. All of my stuff. And we talked about this with Christopher Dufey. And there's also a really good reference for what I'm about to share, 11 ways to be a more conscious parent. Learn from Your Children So what I'm gonna say is my son brings out all the things in me from a patient's perspective that I never even knew that I didn't know that it was literally unconscious incompetence when we're parents we have to surrender to the fact that we just simply don't know that we don't know certain things. Actually, this is the beauty I mean it brings up emotion to me just sharing this like my son knows things that I have forgotten. He knows how to play in such a way that it reminds me how to do that. He knows how to sleep when he's tired. He knows how to ask for a hug or give love or express. All the ways that I have been wounded in my past and that we have been in our past, these children come into our lives to teach us how to reaccess that part of ourselves. And it might seem like pie in the sky, woo, but you know what? That's exactly what it fucking is. And that's exactly what you and I are because we're half spirit and half beast. We're spirit having a human experience. So in my human experience, I will say this, the only way that I have made it through this journey so far, my son is 2 years, 7 months, and my daughter's 9 months old, is by losing my fucking mind. And I think all parents can relate because I want to shed the skin of the snake in my mind. I want to shed that skin on a daily freaking basis, on an hourly basis. Because whenever I'm thinking about spending time with my family, like I can, I can even feel it right now. I can feel it in my legs and I can feel it in my, my perineum and my heart and my throat. I can feel, literally feel somatically in my body, how much I love them, how much I love my children, how much I love Carrie Michelle... [26:35] Being Financially FREE What's the next question? Okay, so the last question is from Amelia Higgins. And it's also more of a request

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 614 Why is nobody talking about HPV; the world's most common sexually transmitted infection? Mimi Lindquist, Nutrition Expert and AHCC Educator, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 614, to spread awareness about HPV which affects up to 90% of the population, how medicinal mushrooms help boost immune surveillance, how to remove shame around HPV, and why viruses are messengers telling you to focus on your health. "HPV is the most commonly transmitted STI. 80 to 90% of us will have to deal with this at some point in our lives because it is that common. We see that in clinical research that really strong, low-grade stress and chronic stress degrades our ability to have a robust immune surveillance.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show The Shame Around HPV "HPV is not just a physical diagnosis because of the shame that surrounds the diagnosis. Why would a woman feel shame about having the equivalent of the common cold for the cervix?" - Mimi Lindquist The Antidote to Shame "We shame pleasure and not just in a sexual sense. The antidote to the shame is actually more pleasure. Tapping into more pleasure in your life taps you into presence. You can't experience pleasure without being present." - Mimi Lindquist Treat The Root Cause, Not The Symptom "The medical system is not set up to help your long-term health and vitality thrive. It's set up to manage symptoms. About 350,000 women die every year of cervical cancer. Their solution is to go in and remove a portion of the cervix. Cutting away a part of the body is not a solution. It's just turning off the check engine light. If we don't address that initial immune dysfunction, we're not addressing the root of why there is a signal from your body the first place." - Mimi Lindquist Links From Today's Show  Mimi Lindquist Clear HPV - Use code "JOSH10" for 10% off enrollment in the CLEAR + FREE program Shawn Stevenson 362 Zach Bush MD: Saving The Soil, Saving Humanity Dr. Nathan Riley Gardasil Lawsuit 603 Honoring Christian Oliver: What Death Teaches Us About Living A Generous Life Paul Stamets   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" SiPhox - 10% off with code "JOSH" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" Defender Shield - 10% off with the code "TRENT10" Neuvana - 15% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Supplements Organifi - 20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" LiftMode - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Adapt Naturals - 15% off with code "WELLNESSFORCE" MitoZen - 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” BiOptimizers - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Lightbody Total Eye Health - 20% off with "JOSH20" at checkout.

Okay, let's get this week's AMA... [02:55] Nootropics For Starters What's our first question? And who's it from, by the way, who are these people who are brave enough to ask questions that actually care about themselves and their wellness? So this week, we only have questions from our Instagram account, and we would love to hear your voices next time. But the first question is from Alaina, and she asks you, Josh: @alaina.bren_: "What are your thoughts on nootropics? Where can I start?" Okay, this is great. So for people that don't know nootropics have been a godsend for me I'm gonna 2 of them today. I'm actually drinking drink update. So this is an evolved caffeine drink. And this is not a video podcast. We may do a video in the future, but for now, we're just going to speak directly to your ears and into your heart. Here's what I have to say about nootropics. There are many different kinds, and the simplicity around them is actually to start with the end in mind. Now what do you want? That's really it. What do you want from nootropics? You want to have a brain that functions at its highest optimal level. Well, How do you do that? First of all, you have to neuroprotect your neurons, your dendrites, and your axons in your brain. So you have to be able to support your brain's function. Next, you have to be able to protect it. So neuroprotection, that's another thing that nootropics are good for. And then lastly, increasing verbal fluency and the way you can articulate things. So those 3 pieces are why you are in nootropics. If you've been feeling brain fog, if you've been feeling like you just can't get thoughts out of your mouth, Nootropics are a great start. And here's why they're different than coffee. So the way coffee works is that it blocks a chemical called adenosine. And most people don't really know this about caffeine. Caffeine is actually a plant toxin. And I learned this on an upcoming episode that we have with Daniel Solomons and Sean Wells, who's a returning guest, and we're doing a really phenomenal podcast that's coming out in just a couple of weeks. And there's this new molecule called Paraxanthine Now, paraxanthine is much different than caffeine, and paraxanthine, I believe, is a nootropic of its own. I also love a company called Nootopia, and I'll list out about 3 or 4 things that I think would be really good for you, Alaina, and for all of us to be able to have those 3 aspects, right, the neuroprotection, the articulation, and the support of the brain itself. So the cool thing about this is that you don't have to crush caffeine in order to get energy. And a lot of people are addicted to caffeine. Mar, have you ever been addicted to caffeine in your life? I'm really lucky. I never liked even the smell of coffee or the taste. So coffee for me has never been an issue. Okay, well, you are one of the select few. There are some people that don't ever get addicted to coffee. I myself freaking rode the caffeine roller coaster for decades. And I'm happy to be off of it. Like as a treat, I'll give myself maybe once a week. Actually, it hasn't even been 3 or 4 weeks since I've been, I started to drink the drink update with the Paris Anthene, but I give myself one espresso as more of like a ritual, you know? But what's really cool about nootropics, Alaina, is that they give you everything you need without you later in the day. And this is like the big take-home here. So y'all go to JoshTrent.com/Nootopia. Use the code "JOSH10" for all the things I'm about to share with you. Now you're probably thinking, Oh my God, is Josh trying to get me to buy something? No, I'm not. You can actually live in the forest and get perfect vitamins and minerals and nutrients and get everything need by just living out in nature and not have any stressors of the modern world and not have to pay rent or mortgage or with responsibilities. But let's be honest, is that any of you guys? It's not. No one out there has a life that is identical to how our ancestors lived in nature. So this is why nootropics and different supplements are so, so powerful for us. So the first one that I'm gonna talk about is called Brain Flow. Now, Brain Flow is what I take after Reboot AM and the Mental Reboot PM. We talked about this with Mark Effinger on the podcast and the episode number JoshTrent.com/593. This is where Mark and I went deep on the subject of supporting cognition. Brain Flow is amazing because it has neuro pepped and it has other different things that allow the brain. I'm not a scientist by the way. Mark is actually the scientist. Brainflow is great because it gives you all the neuroprotection and the support and the articulation without the crash. Again, this is like literally the best part of energy without getting the poor part, the crazy part of the caffeine crash. So that's why I love Brain Flow. The Mental Reboot is a precursor So think of a mental reboot from an entropic standpoint literally wiping a slate clean. So it helps clean your brain. Another fun fact that I could share with you, Alaina, before we move on is, did you know that at night your brain actually exudes excrement? This is pretty crazy, Mar. Our brain literally starts filling up with its own poop. How does that work? So we have these channels in our brain and they are glial cells and these cells produce waste product. And so when our brain produces waste products, that's actually what gets cleared out as we sleep. So right before you go to bed, your brain is producing a lot of this. All day long, your brain is producing a lot of this trash or poop, it's excrement. So when you don't sleep properly, which is, by the way, a whole another podcast on sleep, you actually don't empty the trash in your brain on a physiological level, on a neurological level, your brain can't empty out its trash. So it's so, so important that we get quality sleep, but the Mental Reboot PM that I talked about, that actually helps with these cleanups, with the cleanup in the brain. So Mental Reboot PM wipes your slate clean at night. Mental Reboot AM wipes you in the morning. And then I love the Zamner Juice. I've been using Zamner Juice for so long and Zamner Juice is my absolute for articulation and verbal fluency. One of the things I love about the Zamner Juice is I just spray it under my tongue in that, you know, right behind
