And I've been talking about the diet not because I wanted to be known as a diet person because I was never really interested in like vegan or gluten free or any of that. It was just like I'm more interested in books, you know, and stories and learning things then diet.

But I've felt like the urge to tell people about this because of how much I suffered and how much of a difference it made to me that I've felt like morally obligated to tell people even though I don't really enjoy being the diet person.

Welcome to episode 147 of my podcast, the Michaela Peterson podcast. Sorry about the lack of episode last week. I got a toddler flu and almost died.

What you're about to see is a conversation that's actually from Dr. Mark Colston's podcast. So I'm the interviewee for a change. He was on my podcast last summer.

Mark's an incredibly kind X FBI hostage negotiator, psychiatrist and the author or co author of nine books.

He's also well known for coaching CEOs and as the inventor of surgical empathy. We've been trying to make this happen for a while now. And I'm glad we did because we covered a lot of interesting topics.

I hope we talked about purpose, my experience with psychedelics and the difference between coping and healing. We also explored some interesting concepts like surgical empathy and how ayahuasca seems to reconfigure minds before we get started this episode was sponsored by bio optimizers.

If you're experiencing anxiety, depression, stress or have trouble sleeping, having a routine can make or break you, but there's a super easy to implement the thing.

Most of us forget about magnesium, 50% of Americans are magnesium deficient. Seriously, isn't that insane?

Magnesium is proven to help with depression, anxiety, diabetes, blood sugar, blood pressure and even fat metabolism and digestion as magnesium is the body's master mineral and powers over 300 critical reactions. And again, 50% of Americans are deficient.

Magnesium breakthrough by bio optimizers is a supplement with all seven organic forms of magnesium and co factors like manganese and vitamin B6 for enhanced stress relief and performance.

Many users report immediately noticing the benefits.

Most magnesium supplements are synthetic or only have a couple of types of magnesium in them. Magnesium breakthrough is the only supplement like this on the market.

Welcome to another episode of my wake up call. This is that podcast where I meet people I get to know a little bit about them and I want to get to know a lot more about them.

But while I'm getting to know them, I figure why don't you listen in our listeners and then when my guests use videos, why don't you watch as we get to know each other.

And I'm really excited to have as my guest the ever elusive Michaela Peterson because I was on her podcast and we've been meaning to connect.

And because of all kinds of various things, we didn't connect until now, but let me tell you a little bit about her.

She's an amazing podcaster. She's a CEO, TEDx and Oxford Union speaker. She's the host of the Michaela Peterson podcast where she interviews a wide range of experts and public figures to discuss health, natural phenomena, politics and other topics that are often shied away from.

And the way she overcame incredible adversity in the form of severe autoimmune diseases that destroyed her ankle hip and brain function after researching and implementing a new diet for which she is now known.
