Rituals have been used for millennia in every culture and walk of life to help manifest and power up goals. Traditionally many have learned to light a candle and pray to the highest spiritual power many call God, or the God-force. There are a multitude of different kinds of rituals in this toolbox. How do rituals help the brain focus, connect and turn our goals into reality?  My special guest today is Elissa Wilson, aka The Ritual Woman, a health coach who helps others remember who they are and connect with that spiritual essence of ‘I am’.  She has developed a strategy of using certain rituals to make that connection easier.  Her own journey of awakening has helped to inspire and motivate others to find their ‘fun’. https://theritualwoman.au/

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and bipolar disorder share certain symptoms and traits, which means they’re often misdiagnosed for one another. They can also occur simultaneously.  8.4% of children and 2.5% of adults are estimated to have ADHD. Symptoms include inattention or difficulty focusing and concentrating, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Whereas, bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that range from depressive lows to manic highs.  In this episode we will tease apart what may be causing these behaviours.  My special guest today is Lynda Dyer, a Master Trainer and Coach of NLP and Matrix Therapies. She is also author of 13 books for self-development and empowerment, helping you to be the master of your life and destiny. https://lynda-dyer.com/

How do excessive estrogenic compounds and chemicals suppress magnesium? How is it related to excessive weight gain, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue and metabolic syndrome. There is also a difference between natural endogenous estrogen and the synthesised version (the former working with magnesium and the latter against it). My special guest today is Falyn Morningstar, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) practitioner who graduated with a Master’s Degree from Penn State in the area of Environmental Engineering. Her research paper is centered around minerals in the environment and how they interplay in the body. Falyn’s own health journey struggling with digestive discomfort, insomnia, fatigue, hair loss, muscle soreness, irregular menstrual cycles, and emotional eating motivated her to find the solutions. Now she specialises in women’s health issues. https://www.facebook.com/falyn.morningstar/  Instagram: @falynmorningstar  www.falynmorningstar.com

Technology can be an angel or a demon, depending on whether it supports human personal growth, happiness and prosperity, or whether it is used for criminal activity or excessive overreach in government totalitarian control. For self-empowerment people need personal freedom, which means we need tools to be free within the environment we live in, and to connect safely with other like-minded people for trade and commerce, relationship building, mental health and community support. Freedom allows us to be creative and happy. Entrapment and parasitic top-down control causes depression, excessive stress (causing magnesium deficiency) and further ill health. My special guest today is technology entrepreneur Eric McHugh. He is the President of SHOPX web3 ecommerce, and Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer of Dataing - an ai powered matchmaking platform. In the past, he founded a Saas platform that replaced affiliate codes for ecommerce brands, worked as a constant for Fortune 500 companies, helped Snap optimize their ad algorithm, and supported the research team at Carnegie Mellon University in their dark matter research. https://shopx.co/  https://www.dataing.io/  or Instagram: ericdmchugh

Why are so many women suffering from energetic burnout?  Despite good nutrition and lifestyle practices, they may still suffer from stress overload due to a subconscious drive to ‘helicopter mother’ their family at the sacrifice of their own needs.  What is it that makes them feel responsible for the happiness of others?  Why do they put their own needs last, and can often suffer chronic fatigue and depletion as a result? My special guest today is Lolita Guarin, a four-time #1 bestselling Amazon author, stress management coach, and dynamic speaker. Through her journey, Lolita discovered powerful, drug-free stress management strategies, emphasizing the importance of healing childhood trauma.

Toxins, heavy metals and endocrine disruptors are notorious for blocking the activity of our vital minerals such as magnesium.  These chemicals affect hormone balance, suppress metabolism, and can be stored in excessive fat, contributing to obesity. To make matters worse, the extra fat storage makes more estrogen, dampening down testosterone, and leads to a whole cascade of problems downstream, including metabolic syndrome, diabetes, immune dysfunction, sexual dysfunction and eventually cardiovascular disease or cancer. My special guest today is Erin Souza, a multifaceted health expert, including roles such as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Registered Dental Hygienist, and Certified Mold Illness Practitioner. She is the Founder + CEO of EC RESTORATIVE.  https://ecrestorative.com/

Many office workers sit way too much during the day, sit again in transport to and from work, and sit again to watch TV after dinner. ‘Exercise Deficiency’ ages us prematurely and leads to metabolic issues, chronic fatigue, brain fog, obesity and degenerative diseases.

She is an exercise physiologist and national speaker for the Medical Fitness Association, and has led fitness episodes for Viacom Cable, taught Corporate Wellness at Belmont University, and directed programs for 12 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

An abusive relationship can not only happen in intimate partnerships, but also in the workforce, in business and every area where you may be working as part of a team. The abuse is part of a power play and often involves a narcissistic personality type.  My special guest is Dana S. Diaz, a wife, mother, and author of a best-selling book called GASPING FOR AIR: THE STRANGLEHOLD OF NARCISSISTIC ABUSE. Dana has had life-long experience with narcissistic abuse, beginning in childhood. Her education in journalism and psychology at DePaul University in Chicago gave her the ability to accurately recognize narcissistic abuse and how it creates confusion and conflict within victims. She now helps many to take back control of their lives with self empowerment, detach from the abusive situation, and regain confidence to live a happier and more fulfilling life.   http://www.DanaSDiaz.com

Why can't people move forward with their lives if an emotional issue creates a speed bump that hinders focus, confidence and progress? How does one detach from the revolving door of an obsessive thought? What happens when we can see the rationale of something intellectually, but the negative emotion attached to a memory doesn't follow suit?  What happens when such an emotional memory becomes a straight jacket?  How can we untether from this kind of snag? My special guest today, Joanna Armstrong, can shed some light on how to dissolve emotional obstacles that hinder our progress.  She has become a specialist in this area using a suite of proven therapeutic techniques such as EFT-tapping, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Positive Psychology. https://knackpunkten.kartra.com/page/xlK195 https://www.blissyjoy.com/

According to the Australian CSIRO, at least 50% of Australians experience unpleasant gut symptoms from bloating and reflux to Inflammatory Bowel Disease, with 1 in 7 experiencing very distressing symptoms. The Lancet reported that in 2023 the prevalence of ulcerative colitis was estimated to be 5 million cases around the world, with the incidence increasing worldwide.  It involves microbiome dysbiosis, inflammation and erosion of the mucosa and submucosa of the colon, and leaky gut syndrome. My special guest today is Marc McLean, a health and wellness journalist and author based in Dumbarton, Scotland.  After copious research Marc discovered the true root causes of his own gut problems and was able to completely reverse his IBS and ulcerative colitis.

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare recently published a report which shows that nearly half of Australian adults commonly report at least two sleep-related problems. Getting too much or too little sleep is associated with an increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke. The trend is on the rise due to increasing life stresses causing magnesium deficiency and premature ageing, and there are nearly twice as many men than women who suffer from sleep disorders. Sleep-related breathing disorders restrict oxygen in the body and this hypoxia can become very serious. In Australia Medicare subsidises sleep studies and treatments, so you can enquire with your GP for a referral. My special guest today is Dr Bijoy John, a US board-certified sleep specialist in Pulmonary, Sleep and Critical Care Medicine. He is also known as ‘Dr. SLEEP FIX’ with over 25 years of experience in the field of sleep medicine.  He has just published his book called NOBODY'S SLEEPING and has a successful program of ‘The 7 proven sleep strategies’ in his SLEEP NOW course. www.sleepwellnessinfo.com www.sleepfixacademy.com www.sleepnowacademy.com

The brain is the most fascinating and mysterious organ, and there is still a lot to learn about how it works.  A recent enigma is the inexplicable rise in the numbers of autistic children, and how best to raise them, educate and support them.  This can result in great stress for the family.

  What happens to our emotional self when we encounter a major life-changing SHIFT-HIT-THE-FAN moment’?  What happens when a marriage fails or a business partner you trusted does the dirty on you? What happens if you were exposed to war traumas and then had to fit back into your old world outside of that battle zone?  What happens with mental health when life serves up something very different from the expectation you had in your mind?  My special guest on this podcast, John Lawyer, has been able to transform from a soldier in desert combat zones to a battle within dealing with feelings of guilt, PTSD, and eventually to a spiritual seeker. He acts as one of many guides for Kishar, a non-profit online spiritual community for people to share their journey and explore their own unique spiritual path. John is an Omnist and believes in the validity of great human thought from around the world and across time. https://kishar.org

We have seen an exponential rise in recent years in the use of hemp products like Cannabidiol (CBD) as a natural health supplement to support the endocannabinoid system, most commonly for pain relief, but also as an adjunct to cancer treatment and immune system disorders (which are notorious for producing pain). This has opened the gate to a proliferation in suppliers of cannabis products with a variety of strengths and quality standards. Some of these products are extracted isolates from hemp and so behave like a drug with negative side effects.  Some are grown with toxic residues in the soil, which end up in the plant.  Some people can get allergic reactions like brain inflammation when contaminants are present.  Some people have problems with digestion and absorption. How can people sift and sort through all the choices to find the products most appropriate for their needs and optimal health? Today’s guest is Inesa Ponomariovaite, the founder and CEO of Nesa’s Hemp. A lifetime of disappointment in pharmaceuticals led Inesa to become an holistic health professional. Her expertise is in restoring the body to homeostasis, where all systems function at their optimal best.  She has a lot to share about the right natural hemp product to suit your needs, which is safe to use, without toxic contaminants, and which include phytonutrients such as CBD-A, CBG-A and THC-A and many more. https://www.nesashemp.com/

If your mind is becoming a nuisance and getting in the way of your life, if you can’t shake fearful thoughts like some dog turd on your shoe, and if you’ve tried all the mind techniques to ‘re-program’ your thinking, but to no avail, then think again.  The problem may not be in your mind at all, but actually in your body.  So how do we fix that? My special guest Daniel Packard can shed some light on the issues with practical proven solutions. Daniel Packard is a U.C. Berkeley Mechanical Engineer that turned his painful 10-year battle with severe anxiety into a mission to engineer an actual permanent solution for anxiety.
