Hawkins A Painful Case by James Joyce Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D. Gabor Mate Mindshift Recovery The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk Power Quotes from Dr. Jud Brewer "Changing a habit is not about willpower. We don't really have willpower. What we do have is awareness. We can't think our way out of a habit because that's not how they form. We have to feel our way out." — Dr. Jud Brewer "Addiction is habits. And the behavior that we have is driven by feeling unpleasant and we want it to go away. Often we get this brief relief but it's actually perpetuating the cycle. And it's just feeding the want of wanting to feel better instead of meeting the need for connection. We're just putting band aids upon band aids because we don't know how our brains work." — Dr. Jud Brewer "We're all hallucinating our world. We're generating our world. We're creating a story of the world every moment that is based on our past experience." — Dr. Jud Brewer Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ Korrect Life - 15% OFF WITH CODE "JOSH15" MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code WELLNESSANDWISDOM PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH NutriSense - 30% off with WELLNESSFORCE Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

Why niceness is an emotional survival response born from fear of not being loved, fear of being alone, and fear of not being worthy. How people pleasing is a conditioned response rather than a personality trait. [02:35] Somatic Recognition + Body Awareness The most common physical indicators of niceness: facial tension, elevated shoulders, and fast breathing. How the enteric nervous system can detect authenticity within a 6-foot perimeter through micro-facial expressions. Why the body responds half a second before the mind processes input. [13:05] Language + Identity Transformation How self-identification as 'recovering people pleaser' or 'recovering perfectionist' reinforces the unwanted identity. Why we need to feel emotions rather than bypass them. The three awareness pillars: body awareness, voice/word awareness, and environment awareness. [15:40] Practical Implementation Strategies How to practice authentic 'no' in low-stakes situations to build courage for high-stakes scenarios. Why 'no' is the greatest gift we can give others, as it demonstrates self-love and trustworthiness. Pre-response check: placing hand on chest, breathing, and asking 'Is what I'm about to say/do aligned with who I am?'. [19:45] Stop Being a "Nice Girl" Why women struggle with direct communication and tend to avoid conflict through indirect refusal. How nonviolent communication in relationships serves as a model for boundary-setting. [20:55] Parenting + Generational Patterns How Josh navigates situations where he catches himself telling his son to 'be a good boy.' Why we pass people-pleasing patterns to children if our personal healing work isn't completed. [22:00] Identity + Values Framework The core self-knowledge questions: 'Who am I? What are my values? What do I stand for? What do I do and why?' What it takes to become'unfuck-withable.' How identity transformation extends cycles of recommitment from multiple daily reversions to weeks between old pattern occurrences. [25:55] Setting Boundaries in a Workplace The importance of recognizing people-pleasing behavior in a management role. Why we need to be kind but firm in our communication in professional settings to maintain healthy workplace dynamics.

That's why we think we don't have to ask each other, what do you need? And we think we don't have to say what we need." — Alison Armstrong ""As long as I take men's power, I will never know my own. So after I gave up emasculating men, men became proactively caring for me, looking out for me, taking care of me, and warning me against bad people." — Alison Armstrong "You can tell the question that people have in their head by what they interrupt you with. They interrupt with something that their own mind answered that compelled them. If you're speaking, you're mostly provoking thought, you're not being heard." — Alison Armstrong Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code WELLNESSANDWISDOM PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH NutriSense - 30% off with WELLNESSFORCE Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

It's not linear. It's a sphere, a space, a locality. And with our consciousness, we can go anywhere within this sphere that we want with our mind. We can bend time. We can travel time. We can experience multiple times or multiple lifetimes in the now.

What if true freedom demands separation from old beliefs? Josh Trent welcomes Preston Smiles, Abundance and Money Coach, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 752, to reveal how our need for external validation hijacks our true potential and abundance, what it really takes to break free from generational wounds, and why the commodification of spirituality will only be undone by uncompromising honesty and a relaxed nervous system. In This Episode, Preston Smiles Uncovers: [01:10] Why Most Self-Development Is “Blind Leading the Blind” Why healing doesn't have a hierarchy. How all fathers hold the hard things inside. Why nobody is better than anybody. What makes us chase the feeling of significance. How we're taught to seek validation outside of ourselves. Why most self-development is blind leading the blind. Resources: Preston Smiles 092 Now or Never: Alexi Panos & Preston Smiles [09:35] Being Honest with Your Children Why honesty is a gift to our children. How Preston's children witnessed a conflict between him and his wife. Why he apologized to his wife in front of his children after they had a fight. How being a demonstration is what lands the most for people. [13:00] How to Repair After Conflict Why God only hears 'yes.' How the body stores everything we've ever been through. What creates neurotags in the body. How not addressing our neurotags makes us harden. Why most of us didn't learn how to clear guilt, shame, and trauma from our body. The importance of having proactive practices to prevent disease. [18:30] The Role of A Father Why most of Preston's childhood friends didn't fulfil their potential because their fathers weren't present. How his father encouraged him to be a leader. Why most people don't have a father that's loving and present. Resources: Dead Poets Society (1989) [23:35] How to Be Free Why Preston quit being a reverend twice in his life. Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes The importance of questioning our answers. What is behind our belief that money is hard to come by. How questioning our path can set us free from generational wounds and beliefs. Resources: Spiritual Millionaire by Preston Smiles [29:00] Why Elevation Requires Separation How repair provides a space to ask each other questions. How we become like the people we spend time with. Why his wife was the first person Preston ever made love with. What led him to go deep into esoterics and conspiracies. [35:20] You Can Heal Yourself The difference between healthy and toxic fear. How Preston developed a skin disease and fell into shame when he was a teenager. Why he needed to process the abuse he went through as a child. How acknowledgment helped him heal. Why he did 31 ayahuasca ceremonies in a year. How people began to be part of Preston's healing. Resources: You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay [40:25] The Next Level of Law of Attraction The missing link to the law of attraction. Why the work is constant remembering of what is actually here. How learning to love what is opens up the door for us. Why we need to choose but not want. What we can't stop thinking about, it's our calling. How Preston connects with God. Why hearing God's voice when he was 15 saved his life. How he met his wife through listening and trusting God. Resources: The Secret by Rhonda Byrne 674 Daniele Kathryn Hage | Gender Equality vs. Gender Equity: How to Have a Lasting + Loving Relationship For Life [49:20] Healing Porn Addiction What made Josh realize that porn addiction was his own choice. How Preston approaches his children's sexuality. Why pornography is a tool of control. How he finally chose to see sex as a sacred act. [56:50] Is Demonic Energy Ever Good? How even demonic energy can serve us to awaken. Why the demonic energy is not the urge but the marketing machine that sold us the urge. How the bad things in our lives are our teachers on a soul level. [01:01:35] The Wounded Ego Why it's not our fault when we fall into addiction. How social media glorifies toughness. Why Preston's team didn't stop working when he decided to let them go. How he used to feel better than everyone. [01:08:05] How Much Money Do You Really Need to Be Happy? How Josh has worked through his relationship and money wounds to get where he is now. Why there is a point where money doesn't matter anymore. How Preston learned to appreciate his tiny apartment back in the day. Why get more if we can't love what we have now. How some rich people identify with the status of money and get controlled by it. Why Preston doesn't keep the things that make him attach to his ego. [01:14:45] Cheaters Don't Last How people have used Preston to climb the career ladder. Why his friend stole his workshop. How people who cheat other people don't last long in the game. Resources: Tai Lopez Grant Cardone [01:22:05] Spiritual Commodification Why the antidote to the commodification of spirituality is honesty. The importance of crediting those we've learned from. Why scarcity tells us there's not enough for everyone to share. How abundance comes from a relaxed nervous system. Why most people have a very small window of tolerance.

They're not embodied. And if who we're mimicking and following is not embodied, then we're going to stay stuck in a vicious cycle." — Preston Smiles "The body is a living library that stores everything we've ever been through. Over time, if we do not address the stored paid, the body starts to become dense and the fluidity of the system hardens. If we don't have healthy, intentional, proactive practices, the body will turn on itself and begin to create cancer cells because it is not flowing like it should be." — Preston Smiles "Get your questions answered and your answers questioned. If you accept the answer, that is what you will experience. But if you question the answer, what do you get? You get freedom." — Preston Smiles Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code WELLNESSANDWISDOM PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH NutriSense - 30% off with WELLNESSFORCE Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

In this powerful episode with Josh Trent as a guest on Bryan Reeves’ Bridging Connections Podcast, Josh dives into what it truly means to live a liberated life. In this conversation, Josh unpacks: Nature’s Universal Laws: How metaphysical principles like reciprocity, oneness and polarity guide us toward wholeness, and why we’re only as liberated as our capacity to align with them. Emotional Epigenetics™: The science of how our inherited beliefs and emotional patterns switch genes on or off, influencing everything from stress response to inner peace.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 750 Does AI hold the key to fixing the modern healthcare system that's keeping us sick? Nathan Graville, CEO + Co-Founder of Geviti, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 750, to reveal why “feeling good” and “being healthy” are two very different things, how routine blood tests can expose hidden inflammation before it becomes disease, why reactive care driven by Big Pharma benefits from keeping you sick, and how AI doctors can help you reclaim ownership of your health. "Within the next 5 years, everybody is going to have an AI doctor in their pocket, and the whole traditional healthcare system is going to be reshaped forever.

"There's incentive to keep people sick because Big Pharmaceutical will profit off of it, and then they'll prescribe the medications and the medications to combat the side effects of their own medications. It's a vicious cycle that's very hard to escape." - Nathan Graville Peptides + MSCs "Peptides and MSCs are the future of longevity. These are two therapeutics that will get us to living into our hundreds. When you do a MSC IV, it's going to find out where in your body you need healing and it's going to go to those areas on its own. This is potentially the most powerful therapeutic that we know about in existence as it relates to longevity." - Nathan Graville Feeling Healthy Doesn't Equal Being Healthy "There's no way to know if you're healthy based on just how you feel. You can have elevated markers that are directly correlated to all-cause mortality. Which is why looking underneath the hood is so crucially important. The only way to know is by doing a routine blood work." - Nathan Graville Links From Today's Show  Nathan Graville Geviti Conscious Capitalism by John Mackey + Raj Sisodia 734 Kirk Parsley MD | Sleep As Medicine: How To Sleep Like Royalty + Stop Being Sick 694 Shawn Wells | Your Ultimate Guide To Healing Mental + Physical Health NOOTOPIA (10% off with code JOSH10) Joy Kong MD   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code WELLNESSANDWISDOM PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH NutriSense - 30% off with WELLNESSFORCE Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 748 Are your unresolved childhood wounds hijacking your relationships and keeping you stuck in depression or anxiety? Neuro-Rewiring Expert Mike Zeller joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 748, to share how healing your protector parts can transform conflict into deeper connection and trust, why psychedelics can reopen critical social learning periods and give you access to the hidden programming of your mind, and how to move from fear-driven protector parts into authentic flow state. "Our core longing as human beings is connection and love. We think that the wounded, victim, angry self is who we are because that part is in the driver's seat, and we're identified with that feeling. When we do the neuro-rewiring work, we separate that enmeshment. And because of that separation, we can now recognize the patterns and awareness instead of being in it so much that we can't see." - Mike Zeller 🍄 A fully legal psychedelic microdose? YES!

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Exile Protector Parts "Exile protector parts are there to protect something that was vulnerable, something that happened in our life where we got taken advantage of, or someone was really harsh with us. It's something that's unprocessed. That protector part is wrecking havoc and we're losing energy. We want those parts in harmony. So we have to gently invite that part back into our psyche, make sure that part feels safe even when he or she has a little bit of a flare up, then approach again with gentleness. So then the flare up becomes less and less." - Mike Zeller Relationship Will Trigger Your Wounds "Our core wounds are often going to be activated in a very precise and needed way from our partner. That means that my wife's core wounds and my core wounds are perfectly in friction. So if I left, then I would have cowarded out on dealing with my core stuff." - Mike Zeller What Is The Driving Force of High-Achieving Men? "High-achieving men are high-achieving because they want love and they're clamoring for love. They think their pathway to get there is to excel and be perfect. They’re working hard so that their partners will love them, even though their partners already do love them. They don't have to do all those things. Instead, they can achieve from the state of 'I'm already loved and I'm already worthy and I just want to offer my gifts to the world.'" - Mike Zeller Links From Today's Show  Mike Zeller Psychedelics reopen the social reward learning critical period 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill Ego Is The Enemy by Ryan Holiday 746 Marc Gafni | Why Soulmate Relationships Don’t Work: The Secret Whole Mate Code to Cosmic Love Stealing Fire by Jamie Wheal + Steven Kotler The Art of Impossible by Steven Kotler No Bad Parts by Richard C.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 746 Are you ready to reconfigure your past and reimagine humanity’s future through the power of outrageous love? Visionary Philosopher Marc Gafni joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 746, to guide you from mythic narratives of soul mates to the co-creative vision of whole mates: evolutionary partners in service of the cosmos. Learn how the gift of suffering becomes the pathway to transcendence, why raising children is a spiritual act of embodiment, and how solving humanity’s value crisis can spark a galactic awakening. "Soulmate relationships don't work. They're insufficient. If a couple is not looking at a shared horizon and they are only looking deeply in each other's eyes, it will not work. Whole mates are not just looking deeply in each other's eyes. They're first looking at a shared horizon, a shared mission. They're looking at the whole. They're in a relationship to the whole. And then from there, they turn back and look at each other." - Marc Gafni In This Episode, Marc Gafni Uncovers: [01:20] Outrageous Love Marc Gafni Why 'I love you' is our sacred creed. How facing death puts us in our visceral truth. Why we've lost connection to the meaning of 'I love you.' The difference between ordinary love and outrageous love. How love allows us to give our unique gifts. When we're in love, we feel welcome in the cosmos. Why reality is not a fact but an outrageous love story. How reality is generated. [09:50] What Is Evolution? Whole Mate by Marc Gafni The three levels of knowing. How we get lost in the complexity, which blocks us from seeing the depth. Every place we've been, we needed to be. Why every detour is part of the destination. How reality has mathematical, musical, molecular, metabolic, moral, and mystical values. Why reality is movement towards transformation. Evolution is love in action in response to need. How becoming what reality intended us to be, divinity experiences self-recognition through us. If we don't have the experience that we matter, our mind, heart, and body break down. [20:20] The Three Faces of God Why the God we don't believe in doesn't exist. The importance of the word 'God.' Why outrageous love is not a response to another person but the love that moves through us. The three faces of God: first, second, and third person. Neil deGrasse Tyson How religions show the faces of God. [29:50] New World Why we're in a time between worlds. How 40% of AI researchers believe that AI could destroy all humanity. 692 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream How we can create a new story of values for the world. [35:45] Divine Loneliness Why God is lonely. How we need separation to create intimacy. What it means to be lonely. How Marc's son made him see the human singularity. The importance of knowing our soul print. How we cover up our emptiness by getting our attention hijacked. Why we need to sit in loneliness in order to fill up with our soul print. The divine is being, spaciousness, and becoming. Why evolution is a love story of the universe. How wholeness comes from brokenness. [47:25] Pseudo-Eros + Shame Why pornography is pseudo-Eros. How pornography is explicit sexuality taken out of the context of a story. Why our relationship to essence is always sensual. How our shame tells a story that we're wrong. Why a great saint makes new mistakes. The meaning of the word 'hallelujah.' [56:10] From Soul Mate to Whole Mate Why soulmate relationships don't work. Evolution of Love from Quarks to Culture by Marc Gafni, Zak Stein + Elena Levin Why reality is evolution, relationships, and the evolution of relationships. How crisis drives evolution, and the movement is an evolution of relationships. The evolution from role mate to soul mate to whole mate. The Boy Crisis by Warren Farrell + John Gray How each one of us has a role within a relationship in order to survive and thrive. Love Story (1970) [01:11:50] How Movies Tell The Story of Reality How the Matrix movie displays a whole mate relationship. The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman Why Mars and Venus Collide by John Gray Getting The Love You Want by Harville Hendrix How love replaced our values. Why sexuality is not personal but universal. The importance of having a shared vision as a couple. Social Physics by Alex Pentland Why most children don't believe in love anymore. Sapiens by Harari Yuval Noah [01:30:35] Raising Children As Whole Mates 744 Debra Silverman | Your Pain Has a Pattern… and Astrology Reveals It All (This Isn’t Random) What embodiment feels like. Why raising children is more than a role mate part. How we can serve the larger whole. Phenomenology of Eros by Jonna Bornemark + Marcia Sa Cavalcante Schuback The reason why most relationships don't work. Why monogamy is a practice. Why relationships are the basic structure of reality. How most couples therapists don't address the issue of not having a shared vision. [01:42:15] Our Deepest Desires Our Divine Desires Why God is the intimate infinite. How creating a new intimacy creates a new God. Why spirituality and religion must come together. How our desire to become more intimate comes from God. [01:48:55] The Purpose of Evolution Why the purpose of evolution is the evolution of love. How the evolution of love is the evolution of God. Why whole mates are evolutionary partners. An atom is a new value of intimacy. How we move from matter to life. Why power gives us pleasure and dignity. How we can impact the whole world. Why we're never powerless. Enlightenment means to know the nature of reality. [01:58:55] Reconfigure Your Past What creates a capacity to transform. How we can get beneath time. Why we can undo our mistakes. How transforming our will transforms our deeds. [02:07:10] New Humanity + Existential Risks How we can practice love in the moments of pain. Why the universe feels love. How outrageous lovers commit outrageous acts of love. Why war is not inevitable. We can create a new human and a new humanity. How the cosmos is moving towards more goodness. What existential risks we're facing as humanity. Reimagining Humanity’s Identity: Responding to the Second Shock of Existence by Marc Gafni + Zachary Stein Why evolution doesn't stop. [02:17:05] Solving Value How the process of getting deeper is our joy. First Principles and First Values by David J. Temple Why there are different qualities of love. How the new age community doesn't do the deep work. Why we need to solve the value to create a change in the world. [02:25:30] What Is Value? How the source code is corrupted because the story of value has gotten lost. Why we need to go to the source code to clarify our values. What makes us question ourselves. How reality desires to evolve the source code. Why we're on the edge of a galactic moment. Avatar (2009) Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts 🍄 A fully legal psychedelic microdose? YES!

We think that I love you is an ordinary love, a social construct where we agree this is the thing called love and we love each other and it gives us status and security and a sense of belonging. That's not what love is. Love is not ordinary love. Love is outrageous love. And outrageous love is not mere human sentiment. Outrageous love is the heart of existence itself." - Marc Gafni Bodhisattva Sexing "Sexuality models the larger field of Eros. It doesn't exhaust it. There are seven levels of Eros, seven tastes of sexing. And the seventh level is called Bodhisattva sexing which is when my orgasms become prayers. I'm sexing for the sake of the whole. I'm pouring my energy into the whole." - Marc Gafni The Source of Loneliness "Loneliness is the inability to share my soul print with another person, usually because I haven't shared it with myself. But my soul print is not a thing. My soul print is a story. It's a set of relationships. That's what reality is." - Marc Gafni Links From Today's Show  Marc Gafni Whole Mate by Marc Gafni Neil deGrasse Tyson 692 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream Evolution of Love from Quarks to Culture by Marc Gafni, Zak Stein + Elena Levin The Boy Crisis by Warren Farrell + John Gray Love Story (1970) The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman Why Mars and Venus Collide by John Gray Getting The Love You Want by Harville Hendrix Social Physics by Alex Pentland Sapiens by Harari Yuval Noah 744 Debra Silverman | Your Pain Has a Pattern… and Astrology Reveals It All (This Isn’t Random) Phenomenology of Eros by Jonna Bornemark + Marcia Sa Cavalcante Schuback Reimagining Humanity’s Identity: Responding to the Second Shock of Existence by Marc Gafni + Zachary Stein First Principles and First Values by David J.

He holds his doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University, as well as Orthodox rabbinic ordination. He teaches on the cutting edge of philosophy in the West, helping to evolve a new ‘dharma’ or meta-theory of Integral meaning that is helping to re-shape key pivoting points in global consciousness and culture, with the aim of participating in the articulation of what Dr. Gafni together with Dr. Zak Stein and colleagues are calling CosmoErotic Humanism. At the core of CosmoErotic Humanism is what Dr. Gafni and Dr. Stein are calling ‘First Principles and First Values’, Anthro-Ontology, and a “Universal Grammar of Value”. This is the ground of a new shared universe story and a new narrative of identity for the new human and the new humanity. This is what they are calling the emergence from Homo sapiens to Homo Amor. This shared story, rooted in First Principles and First Value,s can then serve as the matrix for a global ethos for a global civilization. Gafni is considered by many to be a kind of Einstein of Philosophy who is leading a team of thinkers articulating a new vision of meaning for the world. Website Instagram Facebook YouTube X

Join the Tribe Today (It's FREE) Listen To Episode 745 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Introduction to Emotional Epigenetics + Genetic Determinism How we inherit emotional patterns. The myth of genetic determinism: genes are not destiny and can be influenced by environment, emotions, and beliefs. Scientific studies prove how trauma and emotional experiences can be passed down through generations. The concept of learned helplessness is where individuals feel stuck due to societal programming and limiting beliefs about healing and personal change. Quantum entanglement and how personal healing can ripple through past and future generations. The four pillars of the L.I.F.E. Method: Liberation (uncovering hidden patterns), Integration (using breathwork and somatic tools), Frequency Upgrade (regulating the nervous system), and Embodiment (anchoring new behaviors and boundaries). [05:45] It's Your Responsibility to Heal Emotional epigenetics is likened to tending a garden, where inherited genes are seeds and the environment and choices are the nourishment. While inherited pain is not one's fault, it is each person's responsibility to heal and prevent passing trauma to future generations. How the L.I.F.E. Method program accelerates participants to pull out inherited emotional 'weeds' and rewire their nervous system. Emotional healing is not just biological but also spiritual, involving energy in motion (emotion) and the quantum field. Daily practices of emotional integration and inventory, and the importance of unconditional love and acceptance from all spiritual traditions. How healing oneself contributes to healing past and future generations. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts A fully legal psychedelic microdose? YES!

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Astrology Is About Pattern Recognition "Pattern recognition is what astrology is about. The whole system is based on geometry, and sacred geometry is pattern recognition. There are these repetitive patterns that come on and on and on." - Debra Silverman Relationships Are The Hardest Lesson "The hardest lesson on planet Earth according to astrology is relationships: marriage, partnership, friendships, business partners, and commitments. Can we stay loyal? Can we listen to the other? Can we step over our egos? Can we really care about the other? That's 101 why we're here." - Debra Silverman We're Entering The Golden Age "We're at the very end right now of the Age of Forgetting. And we're just entering the Golden Age. But we're in this very thin threshold between worlds where we're going to be done with this old system. You and your children are heralding in an entirely new way of being. In the meantime, the transition is painful because we're so confused." - Debra Silverman Links From Today's Show  Debra Silverman I Don't Believe in Astrology by Debra Silverman J.P.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 742 Is your fear of suffering keeping you from discovering the deepest treasures of your soul? Author and extreme adventurer, Akshay Nanavati, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 742, to share how embracing suffering during his 60-day solo crossing of Antarctica became the key to transcending limitations and unlocking pure potential, what his journey taught him about the paradox of oneness, and why the only way out of suffering is through it. "When you stop resisting suffering, it frees you from the grasp of suffering. It's not the suffering in and of itself that I seek. Suffering is the means, not the purpose. The purpose is what it gives you access to. It's the transcendence, the awakening, the breaking down of the illusions, the surrender." - Akshay Nanavati In This Episode, Akshay Nanavati Uncovers: [01:10] 60 Days Alone in Antarctica Akshay Nanavati 606 Akshay Nanavati | How To Love Your Fear: The (REAL) Secret To Unlocking Your Pure Potential How the world shows you more about the human soul than any textbook.

How the last 10 days felt like he was drunk. Why he ended the expedition after 60 days due to a life-threatening medical issue. [08:45] How to Stay In The Present Moment What brought Akshay into moments of oneness and bliss during the expedition. The three elements of a raw experience. Why he was pushing himself back into the present moment in order to keep going. How the only thing he could control was his next step. [12:40] The Paradox of Oneness How we all seek different forms of peak experiences. Why the illusion in which we experience life changed for Akshay. Fearvana by Akshay Nanavati How the opposites encompass the human experience. Why the mind creates an illusion of good and bad. How Antarctica made Akshay feel very small but also extremely powerful. Why love is an experience of both separation and connection. How resisting or clinging to duality creates suffering. [19:40] The Gift of Suffering The bigger the dragon we battle, the better the treasure on the other side of the battle. Why the human experience is a paradox. How suffering is the means to transcendence. Why pain connects us to God. How Akshay accepts what is instead of resisting suffering. Why comfort is not the enemy. [26:45] Pure Experience Why reality is not "either, or." How labels create divisions and limitations. Why words can open the door for us, but can't provide the same value as experience. How mastery is about bringing ourselves back to the center. [31:40] Stop Attaching to The Outcome How Akshay's Antarctica crossing helped him shed the resistance to the outcome. Why he's been embracing the process more than the outcome. How he plays on the edge in the middle. What led Akshay to find more peace within.

Why separation makes us feel more connected. [54:15] Accept The Isness Why we're stabbed with two darts of suffering, according to Buddha. How bringing conscious awareness to our self-dialogue can help us change it. Why all unnecessary suffering is the resistance to accepting the isness. How embracing the edge of you makes life more joyful. [59:00] Feel It All Why we need to respect the mystery of God. How Akshay saw value in the delusion he was experiencing during the expedition. Why we shouldn't rob our children of their lessons. How Indian parents tend to over-spoil their kids. Why having our kids experience the full range of emotions builds their resilience. The only way out of the suffering is through it. [01:06:30] The Power of Language How soft talk disempowers us. What led Akshay to become more conscious of his language.

Fearvana Instagram Why fear and nirvana are not opposite but complementary. Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi How finding beauty in suffering makes life more joyful. [01:43:15] Fear of Other People's Opinion Why Akshay doesn't feel directly affected by Indian culture. How he feared what people would think if he didn't make it through the expedition. Why other people's lens of reality doesn't change who we are. How Akshay only took a day off from walking Antarctica on day 50. [01:47:30] Your Beliefs Hold You Hostage Why Josh wasn't able to start the podcast for 4 years because of his childhood conditioning. Inside Out (2015) Why all paths are a crossroad.

"We as individuals, we will not rise to the level of the desires we want. We will fall to the level of the struggle we are willing to endure." - Akshay Nanavati The Paradox of Oneness "The paradox of oneness is the realization that all the opposites that encompass the human experience are not truly separate. They are interconnected and they are part of a greater whole. True peace and freedom are created through shedding the illusions of the conceptual mind that creates these divisions, seeing them as one, and embracing both sides as part of the greater whole." - Akshay Nanavati Links From Today's Show  Akshay Nanavati 606 Akshay Nanavati | How To Love Your Fear: The (REAL) Secret To Unlocking Your Pure Potential Fearvana by Akshay Nanavati 734 Kirk Parsley MD | Sleep As Medicine: How To Sleep Like Royalty + Stop Being Sick 612 Dr. Michael Gervais | Living An Authentic Life: How to STOP Worrying About What People Think of You Henry Worsley Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl 538 John Wineland | A New Masculine Paradigm: Leading With Love, Living Your Truth + Healing The World Uncommon by Mark Divine Fearvana Instagram Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Inside Out (2015) When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Harold Kushner Hacksaw Ridge (2016) The One You Feed Podcast   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code WELLNESSANDWISDOM PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH NutriSense - 30% off with WELLNESSFORCE Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

Since then, by embracing his demons, he has built a global business, run many ultramarathons, spent 17 days in darkness and isolation, and spent 100 days alone dragging heavy sleds for over 1200 miles in the polar regions. Despite 4 biological defects including a blood disorder that 2 doctors told him would kill him in boot camp, he is now a sponsored athlete and most recently he pushed his body to the brink of death, spending 60 days alone in Antarctica dragging a 420 sled for 500 miles on what has been called “the boldest Antarctic expedition in modern times.” Combining his life experience with years of research in neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality, he wrote the book “Fearvana," about which the Dalai Lama said, “Fearvana inspires us to look beyond our own agonizing experiences and find the positive side of our lives.” Now, Akshay travels the world sharing the wisdom he has unearthed from the most extreme depths of solitude and suffering. He is on a mission to help our human family explore the edges and fall in love with both play and suffering in order to create a life of greater meaning, joy, and fulfillment.

Wellness + Wisdom: Liberated Life Series | Episode 741 Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host, Josh Trent, and the Liberated Life Series Co-Host, Mar, reveal the secrets to accountability and boundary enforcement without shame or anger, drawing on nonviolent communication and the “rule of three”, and how emotional regulation and clear communication can guide you to practice boundaries in a way that fosters deeper connection and self-trust, no matter how challenging your relationships might be. Join The Liberated Life Tribe We ALL have problems. Stop hiding. Start living life liberated. Learn how to set yourself free from self-sabotage, limiting beliefs, thoughts + behaviors so you will have lifelong confidence + clarity of purpose through a thriving community + practical tools, guiding you to play a new reality game. Discover lifelong confidence, clarity, and a true sense of purpose with practical tools and a supportive community. Learn to rewrite your reality + master a new “reality game.” Unlock your highest potential in your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual + financial SELF beyond your wildest dreams through accessing the power of surrender to trust life + create new results. Join the Tribe Listen To Episode 741 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Introduction to Accountability + Boundaries The essence of accountability. Boundaries are essential for self-love and healthy relationships. How much responsibility do we have to hold others accountable? Fear often prevents people from enforcing boundaries; fear is reframed as 'false evidence appearing real.' [03:45] Setting + Practicing Boundaries Boundaries are first set, then practiced; self-regulation and self-accountability are key. Letting go of the fear of 'burning bridges' is crucial when enforcing boundaries. Boundaries should be communicated clearly, especially in family and intimate relationships, where they are often hardest to enforce. Practicing boundaries with strangers or in low-stakes situations helps build skill and courage. [07:20] Learning from Broken Boundaries + Pain Pain from broken boundaries teaches self-love and integration. Rigid boundaries may block love and growth; flexibility and self-trust are needed. Repeated lessons occur until boundaries are internalized and enforced naturally without fear or anger. [09:45] Nonviolent Communication + Boundary Enforcement Boundaries can be enforced without shame or anger, using curiosity and dialogue. Public and private boundary enforcement share the same principles: identify the breach, ask questions, and seek shared outcomes. Role-play example demonstrates the 'rule of three' for boundary communication: verbalize the breach, bring curiosity, and co-create a result. Adding emotional context (how it makes you feel) enhances understanding and connection. [19:35] Emotional Regulation + Honesty Breath and presence are essential for emotional regulation during boundary conversations. Triggers are opportunities for growth; honesty about feelings creates clarity and speed in resolving issues. Slowing down communication and being honest about triggers or fears leads to better outcomes. Honesty is the foundation for clarity, which in turn enables faster resolution and connection. [24:40] Attachment Styles + the Path to Peace Speed in resolving conflict is a universal human desire, but true speed comes from honesty and clarity, not rushing. Attachment styles (anxious and avoidant) influence how people approach boundaries and connection. Sitting in honesty and clarity helps both attachment styles achieve harmony and connection quickly. Awareness is the starting point for all personal growth and boundary work; the series aims to nourish all aspects of self (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, financial).

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 740 Can collagen help you ‘die young as late as possible’ and keep your body in peak condition? Sean Lake, Founder of BUBS Naturals, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 740, to share how collagen supplementation transformed his own healing process, allowing him to maintain a life of adventure in his 50s, why only a fraction of supplement companies genuinely care about helping you heal, and how collagen helps with connective tissue repair and alleviating joint pain. "After you're in your early mid-20s, you lose 1 to 2% of the collagen in your body every year. So when you turn 55, you're at half. All of your connective tissue support is fed by the exogenous intake of collagen peptides, and it fuels that collagen production inside the human body." - Sean Lake 20% Off BUBS Naturals' Collagen Peptides Using BUBS' Collagen supports your body and enhances overall wellness from the inside out. BUBS Collagen Peptides start out as grass-fed bovine collagen and are then turned into collagen peptides through a controlled enzymatic hydrolysis process.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Exogenous Collagen Peptides "If you exogenously take collagen peptides, it will have your body endogenously producing collagen peptides. And that collagen protein in your body is going to help with your hair, skin and nails. But more importantly, it will improve your muscle recovery, joint health, and intestinal health." - Sean Lake Show Your Children The Right Path "I'm hell bent on taking care of myself physically, mentally, spiritually, as much as humanly possible, learning as much as I can, because I want to be as present as possible so that I can give all that up to be there for my children. So that it's not about me, it's about them. What am I bringing to the table to help shape them, to help steer them, to help show them the path? They have to walk it, but I want to show them the right path." - Sean Lake Can You Get Enough Collagen From Your Diet? "Ground beef and bone broth are an amazing way to get gelatin collagen in the body. But what you don't realize is how much you'd have to eat. For most bodies, 20 grams is the baseline. But to get 20 grams from nature, you'd have to be eating a lot of ground beef or bone broth. And our lifestyles don't really allow us to do that and then there's also a digestive cost." - Sean Lake Links From Today's Show  Sean Lake BUBS Naturals - 20% off with code JOSH20 357 Robb Wolf | Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat The Collagen Synthesis Response to an Acute Bout of Resistance Exercise Is Greater when Ingesting 30 g Hydrolyzed Collagen Compared with 15 g and 0 g in Resistance-Trained Young Men 216 Exploring The Shadow Self For Healing: George Bryant 629 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) The Queen's Code by Alison Armstrong Driven by Dr. Doug Brackmann + Randy Kelley Thomas DeLauer Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH NutriSense - 30% off with WELLNESSFORCE Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

BUBS commits 10% of every sale to veteran-focused charities, most notably the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation and the Navy SEAL Foundation, so the business is, in Lake’s words, “a perpetual fundraiser disguised as a supplement company.” Website Instagram Facebook YouTube

Leadership Coach John Wang joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 738, to share how cultural pressure, generational wounds, and the fear of “not being enough” shape our identity from a young age, why challenging these scripts can help you rewrite your life, and how to close the gap between who you think you should be and who you really are. "The language that your parents speak to you becomes the language that you speak to yourself for the rest of your life. And if your parents didn't know how to speak the language of love, the language of nurture, the language of understanding, then it's likely that you didn't learn that language either." - John Wang 🍄 A fully legal psychedelic microdose?

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show How Our Parents Condition Us "What your mom said to you when you were a kid wasn't about you. She was telling it to her own inner child. She took that out on you because that's the only way she could think if I made you better, then I would be better. But when you're a kid, all you understand is the internalization that you're wrong, you're bad, and you're not good enough." - John Wang We Take On Ancestral Patterns "My grandparents were dealing with famine and war. And so I have the patterns they learned to survive in my body, even though I'm not facing famine and war. But yet that is the level of anxiety, fear, self-judgment, and guilt that I carry because they had to carry it. They're not mine. I didn't create them for my survival. I took them on because my parents taught them to me." - John Wang Why We Hide Our Truth "We fear telling the truth because if I can keep up this illusion of who others see me as, then one day I'll come to believe in myself. If I can convince you to like me, then I'll like me. If I can convince you to think that I'm important, then I'll think I'm important.

Wellness + Wisdom: Liberated Life Series | Episode 737 Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host, Josh Trent, and the Liberated Life Series Co-Host, Mar, share how letting go of outdated relationships frees you to find deeper belonging, why self-awareness and courage are the real keys to attracting your trusted tribe, and how online groups can serve as scaffolding for more intimate in-person meetups, and why you were never meant to heal alone. Join The Liberated Life Tribe We ALL have problems. Stop hiding. Start living life liberated. Learn how to set yourself free from self-sabotage, limiting beliefs, thoughts + behaviors so you will have lifelong confidence + clarity of purpose through a thriving community + practical tools, guiding you to play a new reality game. Discover lifelong confidence, clarity, and a true sense of purpose with practical tools and a supportive community. Learn to rewrite your reality + master a new “reality game.” Unlock your highest potential in your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual + financial SELF beyond your wildest dream through accessing the power of surrender to trust life + create new results. Join the Tribe Listen To Episode 737 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Defining Authentic Community + Connection Community is defined as a space of mutual trust, support, and non-judgment where individuals can be authentic. Modern society often replaces true community with transactional relationships. The concept of friendship is visualized as three rings: inner circle (trusted tribe), middle (friends), and outer (acquaintances). Authentic connection starts with self-awareness and the courage to be oneself Biological and neurological need for community is emphasized—humans are wired for connection. [06:15] Personal Growth, Letting Go + the Evolution of Friendships Personal development often leads to outgrowing old friendships and communities that no longer align with one's values or growth. Letting go of relationships can be painful, but it is necessary for personal evolution and to allow space for new, aligned connections. Take inventory of your current relationships and assess their authenticity and alignment. Growth and change in core friendships typically occur every 5-7 years. [11:30] The Power of Community in Healing + Growth Healing and personal growth are maximized in community, not in isolation. Practices like breathwork and nonviolent communication are more powerful when done collectively. Community acts as a mirror, providing feedback and shared experiences that foster deeper learning and transformation. [13:50] Online vs. In-Person Community + The Role of Intuition Modern communities often begin online but should ideally transition to in-person for a deeper connection. Intuition is key in discerning authentic communities from transactional or inauthentic ones. The gut-brain axis and healthy lifestyle choices are linked to stronger intuition and better discernment. [20:15] Scaffolding of Online Communities + Financial Considerations Online communities serve as scaffolding for building deeper, in-person connections. Financial limitations can be a barrier to in-person experiences, but online spaces can help build the foundation for eventual in-person engagement. True value in a community comes from honest participation and mutual support, not just financial transactions. [24:00] Money, Energy Exchange + Models for Community The necessity of energy exchange (including money) for sustaining community leaders and facilitators. Different community models: free, paid, and hybrid (scholarships, partial gifting) communities. The value of transformational experiences is often worth the investment, and money is reframed as a vehicle for energy exchange. Question assumptions about money and community, and find models that align with both integrity and sustainability.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 736 Is your attachment style secretly directing every move you make in a relationship, from how quickly you run away to how desperately you cling? Silvy Khoucasian joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 736, to share how our nervous system, childhood attachments, and self-imposed boundaries can either block or build authentic love, why some red flags can be transformed into healthy agreements how to break old patterns and self-regulate more effectively, and what it takes to begin creating fulfilling relationships based on curiosity, vulnerability, and mutual respect. "Even red flags can become yellow flags or green flags if you work on creating agreements to prioritize the safe relationship.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show There's Too Much Pressure on Romantic Love "There's never been more pressure on romantic love. We used to look to God and spirituality for our connection to those places and now we look to creating that in conscious relationships. We rely a little too much on relationship for that feeling of aliveness, but do we actually have that aliveness in other parts of our lives?" - Silvy Khoucasian Women's Emotions Are Not Men's Responsibility "Having a man that just has tolerate anything and just be this rock and hold the space and just receive, that's not even healthy for her. That's not going to keep her in integrity with herself. Being able to witness the range of emotion is important on both sides, but not from a place of where you could just spew out any words and stories and assumptions that comes out with that. That's actually a boundary violation." - Silvy Khoucasian Move Towards Safety "You have to look for signs that your relationship is moving in the direction of healing, more safety, and more connection. And it doesn't mean you're not going to have those struggles. You are. But how do you learn from those things? And do you have a partner who's willing to co-create that safety together? And sometimes it's us that's contributing to that lack of safety. Can we be really honest about that?" - Silvy Khoucasian Links From Today's Show  Silvy Khoucasian 548 Dr. Stan Tatkin | Healing Toxic Relationships: What’s The Bite That Fits Each Other’s Wounds?

Through plant medicine, breathwork, and deep self-exploration, Josh has transformed decades of internal struggle into embodied wisdom. In this episode, he shares the raw truth of his own healing: confronting father wounds, overcoming addiction, dismantling imposter syndrome, and learning to feel again after years of emotional suppression.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 734 How is poor sleep quietly sabotaging your health, performance, and relationships? Dr. Kirk Parsley, Performance Enhancement Physician + former SEAL, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 734, to uncover the shocking truth about mainstream sleep drugs and how they hijack natural processes like GABA without delivering true rest, how high-stress lifestyles demand recovery strategies, and why optimizing your sleep might just be the missing key to a better life, stronger communication, and lasting emotional resilience. "When you don't sleep very well, you're choosing to age faster. If you stay up for 20 hours, you've added 4 hours of damage, which means your brain is aging 25% faster. If you do this regularly, you will get neurological decline." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Get 20% Off Dr. Parsley's Sleep Remedy Sleep Remedy is designed to enhance the quality of your sleep, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Sleep experts meticulously formulated this product to naturally align with your body's sleep mechanisms, providing a non-habit-forming solution to improve nightly rest. Dr. Kirk Parsley's Sleep Remedy works by supplementing your body's own production of sleep-inducing molecules like melatonin, magnesium, and a special blend of amino acids. 20% OFF WITH CODE "JOSH20" In This Episode, Kirk Parsley MD Uncovers: [01:05] The Dangers of Sleep Drugs Kirk Parsley MD 125 Dr. Kirk Parsley – Sleep To Win 256 Navigating Transitions In Relationships, Health, and Wealth: Dr. Kirk Parsley & Krisstina Wise How the pharmaceutical industry formulates sleep products. Why Benzodiazepines are 100X stronger than GABA. How sleep has nothing to do with GABA, but pharmaceuticals mainly focus on GABA. Why sleep drugs can cause anomalistic behavior. How alcohol decreases deep sleep and REM sleep. [08:20] Sleep Quality Directly Impacts Performance Why success can't be predicted but failure can. How millions are spent on Navy SEAL trainings. Why none of the SEALs complain about sleep, even though they barely get any during their training. How Kirk made the SEALs test 98 blood markers to find out why they were not performing to their full potential. How he discovered that Ambien was negatively impacting their sleep and performance. How he gave the SEALs sleep supplements to improve their sleep. Why sleep impacts all other aspects of well-being and performance. [23:15] Modern Lifestyle Changed How We Sleep How Kirk's work translated from the Navy SEALs to all people. Why he became a private health consultant. How stress ages us. Why the Industrial Age affected our sleep quality. [27:35] Super Sleeper Genes Why wearable data is not actionable. How we can't change what we don't measure. Why our genes define whether or not we suffer when we get less than 8 hours of sleep. How to treat insomnia using non-sleep deep rest. Why we need to mimic what our ancestors did to sleep well. The importance of creating a list of our worries. [39:05] The Science of Sleep 591 Dr. John Lieurance | Biohacking Big Souls: How UFC Fighters + Big Wave Surfers Holistically Heal Why parents lose 6 months of sleep during the first 2 years of their baby's life. How we can recover from long-term lack of sleep. Why it takes 8 hours to recover from being awake for 16 hours. How we clean the waste inside of our body through sleep. What happens in the body when we go to sleep. Why our body creates inflammation when we don't manage to get rid of the waste product. How calcified plaque is created in the body. [44:55] Chronic Sleep Deprivation = Neurological Decline? How psychiatric illnesses are highly impacted by sleep. What chronobiology has discovered about psychiatric patients and their mental health in relation to circadian rhythm. Why being awake is catabolic and being asleep is anabolic. How we repair our stress levels while we sleep. Why immediately after working out we are weaker and we need to repair during our sleep. How aging affects our capacity to repair our body. Why long-term lack of sleep makes us age faster. How releasing stress hormones can help us repair if we don't get enough sleep. Why we're the only stress-deprived species on Earth. [54:20] How to Navigate Sleep Deprivation As a Parent Why co-sleeping with our children is not essential. How each child has different sleep needs. Why Kirk repressed a lot of his childhood anger and trauma. How he used to pull all-nighters when he was studying, working, and raising his children. Why sleeping 4 to 5 hours a day for several years caused Kirk's health to decline. How he was helping the SEALs with their health issues but wasn't helping himself. [01:07:55] Sleep Affects Your Relationships The role that sleep played in the issues in Kirk's first marriage. William Dement How research proved that couples who don't get enough sleep perceive each other more negatively. The Upside of Stress by Kelly McGonigal MD Why stress causes impulsive behavior and lack of emotional control. How sleep deprivation is used as a torture technique in interrogation. [01:14:20] Good Communication Starts with Good Sleep Why brain function is essential for communication. How the brain holds on to arguments even after it has ended. The role of emotional categorization. How good quality sleep rebalances our hormone levels. Why hormones impact how we show up. [01:21:10] Are You Good At Suffering? What makes some people exceptionally good at suffering. Why our genetics influence our ability to endure suffering. What led Kirk to believe that suffering is a choice. Why he doesn't suffer even though he's suffering. [01:26:50] Fear Is For The Weak Why Kirk grew up fearful because he lived in a dangerous environment. What made him decide that being fearful is weak. Why he's happy with everything that's happened in his life. How fear only takes us out of enjoyment. Why everything that matters to Kirk is driven by love. [01:32:20] The Journey Back to God How Kirk defines his faith in God. Why we only have control of how we react to what's happening around us. How he asks God to show him the path every morning. Why psilocybin made him face darkness. How the psilocybin experience changed how he perceives fear. Why love and fear are the only emotions, but only love is real. [01:44:15] The End of Suffering Why Kirk used to believe that we need to choose to suffer for a reason. 692 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream How he always wanted to raise his children to be able to handle as much as him. Why the consequence of suffering was that he got tired of suffering. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Lack of Sleep = Threat? "The only animal on this planet that sleep deprives itself on purpose is us. It makes evolutionary sense that our brains perceive lack of sleep as famine or threat because there's some kind of stressor going on. That is why people who don't sleep well or don't sleep enough have higher amygdala tone and higher stress hormones." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Benefits of Sleep "It takes 8 hours to recover from being awake for 16 hours. The benefit of sleep is the hormone production, the repair, the acceleration of your immune system, the consolidation of memories, the categorization of emotional events." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Your Brain Creates Waste Products "When you go to sleep, the neurons that hold the structure of the brain contract about 30% and they create little channels for the cerebral spinal fluid to flow through. There are ways for it to clear and get outside of the blood brain barrier and get rid of your waste products. If you don't clear that, it's toxic. It's a waste product. It'd be like if you leave feces in your living room, you don't get rid of it, it's toxic. And what happens is that your brain or your body attacks it. It's like a foreign object. So it's an inflammatory response." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Links From Today's Show  Kirk Parsley MD 125 Dr. Kirk Parsley – Sleep To Win 256 Navigating Transitions In Relationships, Health, and Wealth: Dr. Kirk Parsley & Krisstina Wise 591 Dr. John Lieurance | Biohacking Big Souls: How UFC Fighters + Big Wave Surfers Holistically Heal William Dement The Upside of Stress by Kelly McGonigal MD 692 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

Imagining a new path for ourselves takes courage. Our brains are designed to help us survive. Why it's important to learn to let go of the need for certainty. [06:30] Think About Your Thinking The difference between autonomous and automatic responses. Why we can't get rid of our automatic thoughts. How we're the only species that has the capacity for metacognition. Why crime can be predicted from precognition. How scientists tend to think of spirituality as separate from science. [11:00] The Truth Behind Finding Your Purpose How finding purpose has been monetized. Why nobody finds their purpose by filling a sheet with questions. How our passion and purpose can change throughout our lives. Why people who haven't found their purpose feel like something's wrong with them. How being obsessed with finding our purpose might prevent us from finding it. [14:30] The Crowd Pleaser Script How not knowing your purpose may be your purpose. Why we can't predict what excites us. How we follow the crowd-pleaser script to follow other people's dreams. Why we don't question why we actually want something. [18:55] The Role of Liminal Spaces Why liminal spaces don't feel safe. How we want to exit the transitional state. Why sometimes it's necessary for us to leave the liminal space fast. How we perceive unpredictability as danger. Why liminal spaces allow us to discover ourselves. [22:10] How to Reduce Time Anxiety The difference between quantitative time and qualitative time. Why time can expand or contract depending on our experience. How AI can provide more time for us. Why AI has the potential to reduce time anxiety. How the notion of being late implies there's a fixed timeline. Why there's always a new beginning that we can join and build around it. [31:55] The Silicon Valley Script of Success How time anxiety fuels investment in Silicon Valley. What was Anne-Laure's experience working at Google. The script of success in Silicon Valley. Why young people rush into creating a start-up. [36:30] Rewrite Your Scripts How we've been conditioned to believe that if we're not doing the most epic thing, we're harming people. Why we follow other people's definitions of success. How all of us have cognitive scripts and have the power to rewrite them. Why we can choose to follow a script if it feels aligned with us. How Anne-Laure thought leaving her job at Google meant she was rewriting her script. When nobody's surprised by our decisions, we're still probably following a script. [42:50] Liminal Space VS Immediate Needs How Anne-Laure found herself in a liminal space after her first start-up failed. Why she started making money freelancing to be able to stay in the liminal space. How she took time to explore to find what truly excites her. Why Josh spent a year in Hawaii to start a new path. How everyone is on their own journey. Why the in-between moments give us the freedom to experiment. [52:00] How to Live Authentically Why Josh used to have purpose guilt. How authenticity is born in radical discomfort. Why we can find authenticity through questioning our choices. How people can feel if we're truly being ourselves. Why even older people still want to find what they truly enjoy. How we can include curiosity to explore our passions in our daily lives. [58:15] Experiment with Your Passions Tao: The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts How we can realize that what we thought would make us excited is not the right thing for us. Why starting a company wasn't what made Anne-Laure feel fulfilled. How experimenting with our passions helps us collect data about what we truly enjoy. [01:04:25] Learning in Public Why true leaders shine a light on others as well as on themselves. How Anne-Laure challenged herself to write 100 newsletter emails in 100 days. What helped her overcome her fear of public speaking. Why learning in public invited feedback and ideas. [01:11:35] Tiny Experiments Why it's important to start with small steps when we're experimenting with something new. How we can prove to our brain that our fear is irrational. Why there is no prescriptive advice that we could follow. How the amygdala drives our fear of rejection based on human evolution. The importance of asking questions. How being in a community and witnessing our experiments speed up our growth. [01:20:25] Create Beyond Legacy Why Anne-Laure believes we don't need to focus on building legacy. How money is not part of our legacy. Why success is when children still want to spend time with us when they're adults. Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg How we can teach ourselves to move beyond our scripts. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Ask Yourself This to Live a More Authentic Life "You can get a little bit closer to living an authentic life when you start asking yourself, what do I want? What am I curious about? And making space for it, as much space as you can." - Anne-Laure Le Cunff Liminal Space "Liminal space is a space where you don't know the rules, you don't know the players, you can't predict the outcomes. But we can't predict what's going to happen either way. It's this illusion of safety and certainty that we're seeking. The gift of the liminal space is learning more about yourself, about your work, and about the world. It is a space for self discovery if you allow yourself to stay in it, which can be very uncomfortable." - Anne-Laure Le Cunff What Would You Do If You Could Do Anything? "If the traditional definition of success was out of the equation, if it was just you, and you could wake up in the morning and spend your time in any way you like, read any book that you want, listen to any podcast, walk anywhere, just spend your day in any way following your curiosity, what would your day look like really?" - Anne-Laure Le Cunff Links From Today's Show  Anne-Laure Le Cunff Tiny Experiments by Anne-Laure Le Cunff Tao: The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

Save 20% with "JOSH20" Listen To Episode 731 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] The Power of Self-Talk The words we use are described as 'spells' and 'little prayers' that impact our mental state The narrative about pain can keep us stuck (e.g., saying 'I'm in pain' vs. 'I'm healing') The unconscious mind constantly listens to our self-talk Our brain receives 11 million bits of information per second but can only process 50-120 bits Neuroplasticity enables our brains to create new neural pathways through repeated thoughts [10:15] Disempowering Language Patterns Common disempowering phrases: 'I can't,' 'I should,' 'I'm bad,' 'I'm not smart enough' Learned patterns often pass down through family generations Spend 24 hours noticing how you speak to yourself The phrase 'I have to' creates a feeling of obligation and burden Replacing 'I have to' with 'I get to' shifts from obligation to opportunity The etymology of 'should' comes from Old English meaning debt, obligation, or duty [20:30] Replacing 'I don't know' 'I don't know' is a definite response that closes off possibilities Replace 'I don't know' with 'I'm figuring it out' or 'I'm learning how' The connection between disempowering language and lack of trust in intuition When we replace definitiveness with curiosity, it opens up possibilities Curiosity is lost during arguments when we get triggered (prefrontal cortex activity decreases) [30:45] Eliminating 'Try' + 'Maybe' 'Try' implies potential failure and provides a backdoor excuse not to succeed Replace 'try' with 'I will' or 'I'm going to do my very best' 'Maybe' steals our ability to take action and indicates a lack of conviction 'Maybe' often serves as a safety net in case we're wrong Replace 'maybe' with 'I commit to' or 'I believe' The importance of balancing high standards of communication with grace for ourselves Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Links From Today's Show  732 Anne-Laure Le Cunff | Stop Living Someone Else's Life: How to Break Free from The Hidden Scripts Controlling You 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only EQUIP Foods - 20% off with the code WELLNESS20 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Legacy Cacao - Save 10% with JOSH when you order by the pound!

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 730 Could your DNA hold a hidden superpower that’s just waiting to be activated by light? Brian Richards, Founder of SaunaSpace, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 730, to uncover how near-infrared saunas can help cleanse toxins, support brain function, and even raise your vibrational frequency, and why embracing your innate power to heal is the ultimate path to true freedom. "One of the effects of photobiomodulation is to correct gene transcription = how the DNA is read. The DNA and the epigenetics are being fixed in a much more powerful way with the near-infrared light than they're being damaged by the ultraviolet component of the sunlight. But indoors, we only use damaging light. There's none of the healing light anymore. So to bring ourselves back into balance, we need to get a lot more near-infrared light. And the incandescent bulb uniquely presents itself as a way to do that." - Brian Richards 10% Off SaunaSpace ThermaLight® technology combines the finest tungsten filaments, mouth-blown red-stained glass, and years of engineering to produce a full-spectrum infrared light that mimics the best of nature. Benefits: Compact and portable, hypoallergenic, tool-free assembly, wheelchair accessible, machine-washable cover, minimalist design, ZERO EMFs. All saunas have the same goal: to raise your core body temperature enough to jump-start its natural healing processes. Traditional saunas use steam, fire, or electric heaters to make the air in the sauna hot, which eventually heats up your body from the outside in. Infrared saunas tap into the science of light to help you sweat faster and more comfortably. Save 10% With code "JOSH10" In This Episode, Brian Richards Uncovers: [00:55] Your DNA Creates Light Brian Richards SaunaSpace - 10% off Sauna Space with code "JOSH10" 525 Red Light Therapy For Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) | Brian Richards How our DNA creates light. The difference between far-infrared and near-infrared light. How we need to have compassion for the people who are stuck in the Matrix. What makes us vibrate at a higher frequency. [04:05] Choose Compassion Over Judgment The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz Why there is no benefit to judgment. How compassion is a vehicle for new choices. Be Here Now by Ram Dass We're not truly healed until our family stops triggering us. [06:30] Redefining Biohacking Why we attach a negative meaning to the word "work."

Why red light therapy heals us but also enhances the indoor environment. How red light therapy serves as a replacement for fire light. [14:15] The Benefits of Red Light Therapy How SaunaSpace helped Josh's daughter heal jaundice when she was born. Why technology prevents us from connecting with our families. How people gravitate toward the screen because they're constantly stressed out. Why subtle frequencies calm our nervous system, ease stress, and remind us to be ourselves. [18:00] Infrared Sauna VS Regular Sauna How SaunaSpace works holistically to support our well-being. The science of near-infrared light. How man-made EMFs are toxic to us. The difference between an infrared sauna and a regular sauna. Why 15 minutes inside the infrared sauna is enough to get all the benefits. How physical health is not the biggest benefit of the sauna. Why the infrared sauna provides us with more capacity to make lifestyle changes. [25:10] Can Light Change The DNA? How melatonin is produced in the body. Why taking vitamin D supplements is not as efficient as taking light in through the skin. How photobiomodulation corrects gene transcription. Why we only use damaging light indoors. [27:45] How to Get Energy from Light How we can satisfy 70% of our caloric needs through sunlight. Dr. Steven Young Samuel B. Lee The benefits of sun gazing. How we can produce our own energy when we live in alignment with who we truly are. Why we get the benefits of near-infrared light from the sun even on a cloudy day. [33:15] Light + Heat for Optimal Health + Recovery How photobiomodulation supports the healing of traumatic brain injuries. Why light therapy repairs cells and how cells work collectively. How red light therapy helps people heal from stroke. Why heat corrects protein folding. How frequent use of sauna reduces the risk of dementia. [38:10] How to Be Your Authentic Self Why attaching to our programming harms us. How light removes toxins and reactivates cellular rejuvenation. hat it takes to become our best selves. How spiritual and emotional work is an important component of healing. Why our being naturally wants to be authentic. How our guides only help us remember what we already know. Why doing what's aligned with our highest purpose gives us more purpose and happiness. [43:40] The Wounded Healer Why a wounded healer should also focus on their own healing. How the best healers continue to work on themselves. Why curiosity and new experiences reprogram our brain. [46:45] Are You Aware of Your Limitations? How ayahuasca showed Josh that he's not been his true self. Why Brian has been learning about himself through building his business. How experiencing polarity helps us level up in the game. Why we need to take care of the body in order to do the emotional and spiritual work. How physical movement helped Brian realize he was avoiding his emotions. Why taking care of the body has become more accessible to everyone. [54:20] Detoxify Your Body How modern stressors require us to take measures that our ancestors didn't need. Why sauna helps detoxify from toxic chemicals. How we are contaminated with genetically engineered e-coli. Maria Crisler How SaunaSpace and PMF help break up hydrogels in the body. Why the CV-19 vaccine acts like snake venom. Finding Joe (2011) How being true to himself is important for Brian's personal wellness. Why we always have a choice and we can find empowerment instead of victimhood. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Near-Infrared Light Can Heal Traumatic Brain Injuries "When you have a TBI, you have damage to your nerve cells and your nervous system. The near-infrared light goes into the mitochondria in the brain cells and it promotes regeneration, healing, inflammation reduction, and also anti aging. It corrects the function of the cell itself by helping to re-establish connections and repair the interworking of all the cells together collectively." - Brian Richards We Lack Sunlight "The average American gets five to seven minutes of sunlight a day, just going out to the car on the way to work. We're really deprived of the things that keep us resilient and also allow us to be high frequency and multi-dimensional." - Brian Richards Light Brings Your Back Into Yourself "Light opens us up and brings us back into ourselves. When you go into the SaunaSpace, your thoughts just kind of melts, and you you get grounded back into yourself. It becomes a very transcendental experience. It's not just about healing, it's very meditative." - Brian Richards Links From Today's Show  Brian Richards SaunaSpace - 10% off Sauna Space with code "JOSH10" 525 Red Light Therapy For Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) | Brian Richards The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz Be Here Now by Ram Dass Dr. Steven Young Samuel B.

Save 20% with "JOSH20" Listen To Episode 727 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Understanding Deception + Self-Deception Key concept: The biggest lies we believe often feel like the biggest truths Saint Bernard's quote: 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions' Milton Friedman's wisdom: judge policies by results, not intentions The most dangerous deceptions are wrapped in good intentions People lose the ability to discern truth from deception when relying on external validation Illusory truth effect: cognitive bias where repeated false statements become believed [07:55] Cognitive Biases + Manipulation Tactics Our brains prefer familiar information, creating cognitive shortcuts Familiarity does not equal truth Question to ask yourself: 'Do I believe this because it's true or because I've heard it repeatedly?' Beliefs can be inserted when someone is vulnerable (financial hardship, emotional vulnerability) Manipulation tactics: fear-mongering, guilt, and virtue signaling Discussion of objective vs. subjective truth and their differences [15:45] Common Manipulation Types + Defense Strategies Three common manipulation types: fear-mongering, social proof pressure, false dichotomies Fear mongering: creating urgency through fear (COVID example given) Social proof pressure: fear of social rejection or judgment False dichotomies: presenting only two options when more exist Breathwork as a tool to exit manipulation cycles The key question to ask: 'Who benefits from me believing this?' The contradiction test: look for contradictions in someone's 'absolute truth' If you can't argue the opposite side, you've been conditioned, not educated [23:45] Rebuilding Intuition + Exiting Manipulation Every time you ignore your gut feeling, you make it weaker The cost of ignoring intuition: toxic relationships, bad jobs, meaningless pursuits Four ways to sharpen intuition: conscious breathwork, meditation, microdosing, conscious reflection The counterintuitive solution: 'The only way to win the game is to stop playing it' The observer mindset: watch the world like a movie rather than reacting to it Eight takeaways summarized at the end, including remembering that feelings are not facts Final encouragement to find peace and fulfillment by exiting manipulative systems Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Links From Today's Show  698 Cory Clark | Pro-Blame Bias: How to Find The Courage to Speak Your Truth + Escape Victim Mentality Wild Wild Country (2018) 345 Zach Bush MD: Humanity, Consciousness & COVID19 breathwork.io EONS: DAILED (Amanita Muscaria) - Get 20% off with code JOSH20 Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only EQUIP Foods - 20% off with the code WELLNESS20 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Legacy Cacao - Save 10% with JOSH when you order by the pound!

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 726 What if the greatest threat to your success isn’t the world around you, but the self-sabotaging lies in your mind? Bizzie Gold, Brain Pattern Mapping + Behavior Expert, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 726, to reveal the hidden pathways of self-deception, how subconscious patterns distort our sense of identity and drive us to repeat old destructive emotional loops we mistake for “normal” life, and the roadmap to rewiring your brain so you can finally live in alignment with your true potential. "Every person's brain pattern type has a unique set of self-deceptive tendencies. Self-deception is the fuel for everything negative that we experience in our lives. Every loop that we get stuck in, every pain and conflict that we have in a relationship, it's all a byproduct of self-deception." - Bizzie Gold 🧠 Better Brain Health Starts Today Save 20% on Mendi.io with the code "JOSH20" + Take control of your attention, learn to avoid distractions, and enhance mental resilience.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Brain Pattern Opposition "The way our brain pattern will distort our perception is that we repeat the things that we like, and we decide what makes us feel safe or unsafe. So we keep constraining our possibilities and choices, and it gets us locked in a very restrictive loop. Pattern opposition is when we understand exactly what our brain pattern sets up is a pattern of self-deception, repetitive thoughts, how we tend to assume in a very patterned way about our environment so that we can establish how we do things very precisely." - Bizzie Gold Pain Helps You Grow "We can grow so much through pain and hurt. And if you are tricked into thinking that you need to deny this pain and hurt because you need to choose to be positive, you end up missing the lesson. You end up missing being present in the pain. And presence in the pain is the thing that helps you grow the most." - Bizzie Gold Repetitive Events Shape Your Brain "Anything negative is going to feel traumatizing in our earliest years of life. Our brain is shaped by the repetitive events, not the one time events. The break method is about understanding how are we seeing the world through distortion and how can we learn to take that off so that we can see things more as they are, more objectively? When we do that, collaboration becomes very easy to do because we no longer see our perspective oppositional to someone else's perspective." - Bizzie Gold Links From Today's Show  Bizzie Gold 375 Bizzie Gold: Break Method | Why Instinct And Intuition Are Not The Same (Rewiring The Subconscious) Your Brain Is a Filthy Liar by Bizzie Gold Fight Club (1999) 543 Kelly Brogan MD | How to Love ALL Your Parts + Be Self-Sovereign MANNA GOLD - $20 off with code JOSHGOLD 715 Mark Gober | The End of Upside Down Thinking: New Science Flips The “Reality” We Think Is Real… Billions (2016) 312 Kevin Kelly: What Technology Can Teach Us About Self Love Finding Joe (2011) Sillicon Valley (2014) 420 Mo Gawdat | Scary Smart: Artificial Intelligence, Mental Health, & The Future   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  15% off (no code needed) EQUIP Foods - 20% off with the code WELLNESS20 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Legacy Cacao - Save 10% with JOSH when you order by the pound!

It's hard to show up at the table with the shadow and have a meal and say, I love you too." - Kristin Weitzel It's a Men's World "Our society was a specific way for a very long time. We set up the workplace and everything else according to and what works well for men.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 722 Could legal psychedelic microdosing be the natural key to tackling the global mental health crisis? Alex Wolfe, Founder of EONS, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 722, to reveal the incredible healing potential hidden in one of nature’s most misunderstood mushrooms: Amanita muscaria, and how it can help reprogram limiting beliefs, heal mental health issues, and guide you toward living more in tune with the Earth’s natural rhythms. "The Amanita muscaria is a sacred mushroom. It's been around for thousands and thousands of years. It's nature's technology and the organic intelligence that's upgrading the hardware with the software. And in microdoses, it's extremely beneficial for alcohol addiction, cocaine addiction, PTSD, severe anxiety, and depression, with 75 to 90% cure rates." - Alex Wolfe 20% OFF EONS | DIALED A fully-legal psychedelic microdose derived from the Amanita muscaria mushroom. Created with Quicksome™ technology, Dialed delivers a precise microdose of Muscimol, providing calming effects on the GABA receptor WITHOUT any hallucinogenic experiences.

This unique formulation also works on the subconscious level, helping to overcome limiting beliefs and negative habits, all while promoting a balanced circadian rhythm.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show The Infinite Abundance "Whatever your dream is, it's very achievable. It's very real. It's waiting. The Creator wants to give you everything. More than you could ever imagine. Even your biggest, wildest dream is too small for the Creator. It's infinite and abundant because the Creator is truly infinite and abundant. So whatever you're thinking, it's too small because you're in the conditioned mind." - Alex Wolfe Unlock Your Consciousness with Amanita Muscaria "Amanita muscaria got me to really go within and unwind programs that I had running that I wasn't aware of. It was the major unlocking. And with that came so much more awareness, so much more levels of consciousness that I hadn't reached before." - Alex Wolfe Look for The Codes "Once you get a new code, you have a new perspective. And with a new perspective, you can see things differently. And when you see things differently, you have a new outlook. And now all of a sudden, you're going in a new direction. And when you go to a new direction, now you have a new destination, a new destiny. But it all starts with that code." - Alex Wolfe Links From Today's Show  Alex Wolfe 616 Alex Wolfe | Legal Psychedelic Microdosing For Anxiety + How To Take Your Sleep/Psyche to The Next Level Finding Joe (2011) Microdosing with Amanita Muscaria by Baba Masha MD Stealing Fire by Jamie Wheal 427 Will Rezin | Trauma & Somatics: How To Heal Without Getting Stuck & The Myths About Psychedelic Therapy For PTSD Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill Paul Chek | All Is God: Three Part Series MitoZen - 10% off with the code WELLNESSFORCE 548 Dr. Stan Tatkin | Healing Toxic Relationships: What’s The Bite That Fits Each Other’s Wounds? 686 Mark Groves | Your Triggers Are Your Teachers: How To Answer The Call of Self-Mastery In Relationships + Life   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT 🎉 Paleovalley -  Now 20% off till February 28th!

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 720 Could ignoring your emotions be the hidden barrier keeping you stuck and disconnected from your true potential? Rick William, Emotional Intelligence Coach, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 720, to unpack why most of us were never taught how to process our feelings and how this unconscious avoidance can fuel anger and shape our relationships, and how intentionally facing your vulnerabilities, setting up internal boundaries, and curating simple daily practices can open the door to your most authentic self. "If we don't have the capacity to feel a sense of love and connection to ourselves and to one another, that's the neurochemistry of suffering. And that neurochemistry of suffering is what leads us to reach and grab for whatever it might be to. Whether it's too much food or too much sex." - Rick William 🧖‍♀️ Experience Red Light Therapy at Home Save 10% on your SaunaSpace order with the code "JOSH10" Unlike the traditional methods, near-infrared light works with your body’s biology to create radiant heat from the inside out.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Safety Is The Key Ingredient "Safety creates the environment for human beings to thrive physically, emotionally, spiritually, and  psychologically. Work on the parts that don't feel good enough, don't feel safe enough, don't feel loved enough, and learn how to be with those parts, those aspects of your self, your psyche, your nervous system, so that you can be there for them and create a level of safety within yourself that then allows you to be able to be who you are. It's from that place that everything grows." - Rick Williams Happiness Is Self-Generated "Happiness is self generated. Happiness is the neurochemistry of oxytocin, serotonin in my own heart field of which I can connect with in any moment and then share that with friends, share that with family. We have the capacity to generate that within ourselves without anything else." - Rick William Your Greatest Gift Is A Gift to The World "As we give of our greatest gift, we give it to ourselves and we give it to the world. What is most personal is most universal. What is most universal is most personal. We're looking to be able to activate ourselves in such a way that we can give of our gifts, and giving of that is the greatest gift." - Rick William Links From Today's Show  Rick William Paul McKenna 512 Alison Armstrong: Unconscious Emasculation, What Women Don’t Understand About Men + How To Get The Love You Want 420 Mo Gawdat | Scary Smart: Artificial Intelligence, Mental Health, & The Future Rick Rubin 704 How To Play A New Reality Game In 2025 BREATHE - 33% off with the code "PODCAST33" It Didn't Start With You by Mark Wolynn 462 Ben Greenfield: Should You STOP Using Plant Medicines?

"When you strip away drugs and alcohol from someone who has an addiction, they're left with this ability to commit to anything they put their mind to.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Wired to Win "We're wired to want to win. I take action every single morning to put myself in a successful position to manage whatever is thrown my way." - Michael Chernow You Can't Buy Time "What's the one thing in life that there is no way anyone has ever been able to purchase? Time. We're all given the exact same amount of time in a day. So if you want to to win in life, it requires an hour of self-indulgent, self-care time. Because when you can dedicate to that, you are going to show up a better human being." - Michael Chernow Why Addicts Feel In Control "When you are in active addiction, you have a sense of complete control, even though you're totally out of control. That sense of control comes from the ability to change how you feel. You know that there is a substance that will numb your feelings. So when you feel bad, you can easily make yourself feel good. When you feel good, you can easily make yourself feel great. And so in essence, you're playing God. You're controlling how you feel no matter what is going on around you." - Michael Chernow Links From Today's Show  Michael Chernow Kreatures of Habit - 20% OFF WITH CODE “WISDOM20" Dr. Russel Surasky The Big Book How to Know Higher Worlds by Rudolf Steiner 439 Khalil Rafati | From Homeless To Limitless: One Man’s Spiritual Journey of Learned Helplessness to Powerful Humility The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT 🎉 Paleovalley -  Now 20% off till February 28th!

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show The Body Is Consciousness "If everything's consciousness, how could there be a brain that's receiving consciousness? That's implying the separation that might not be there. Maybe the brain is picking up consciousness from beyond the body, which means that a human being is a vehicle or a vessel of consciousness on one level. And on another level, the body itself might be consciousness." - Mark Gober Consciousness Creates Reality "If everything is consciousness, then everything is malleable to some degree. And therefore the way in which we direct our consciousness in theory, is going to affect reality because reality is consciousness and nothing's actually physical." - Mark Gober Time Is a Construct of The Mind "The sequence of past to present to future, or beginning, middle, and end, is a construct of the mind. If we think about the past, it's a memory. It doesn't exist. It's just something in our mind right now. And the future is the same thing. It's something we hold in our mind right now, and the present is something we hold in our mind right now." - Mark Gober Links From Today's Show  Mark Gober An End to the Upside Down Thinking by Mark Gober An End to the Upside Down Cosmos by Mark Gober 301 Cory Allen: Now Is The Way Laura Powers An End to Upside Down Medicine by Mark Gober What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 714 Are you stuck in a story that no longer serves you? Ben Stewart, Filmmaker + Producer of the Psychedelica series, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 714, to reveal how our personal and collective narratives shape our reality, why language is the invisible thread holding every belief and value together, how ancient mythology set the stage for our modern world, and why true awakening comes from recognizing the power we have to rewrite our story. "Reality is a story. It's an evolving story, and it's a love story. It's a story of allurement, where all the pieces are looking in this evolutionary ladder. It's looking for ever greater wholeness and intimacy with itself. It's God putting itself back together." - Ben Stewart   🧖‍♀️ Experience Red Light Therapy at Home Save 10% on your SaunaSpace order with the code "JOSH10" Unlike the traditional methods, near-infrared light works with your body’s biology to create radiant heat from the inside out.

Ben Stewart 416 Ben Stewart | Awakening In The Midst of Crisis Why we discover ourselves through stories. How we get trapped in certain narratives of our stories. Why language holds a story together.

Why language model AI skyrocketed. How technium is showing us who we are. 442 Robert Breedlove | Blockchain Wellness: How To Use Bitcoin For Your Freedom, Health & Vitality Why technium is not separate from us. [56:25] Life Is Your Mirror How to Know Higher Worlds by Rudolf Steiner Why technology and money serve as mirrors to us. How everything outside of us has a subjective meaning. Why technology is showing us that we haven't integrated our shadow. How AI gets to the root of language creation to understand it. Why we're getting to know ourselves through pain. [01:06:45] The Key to Liberation How we are parenting AI just like we are parenting our children. Erick Godsey Why AI needs conscience. Pain is a purification process and we shouldn't resist it.

What are we fighting for? Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show What Is Story? "Story is what holds together the human experience. Every single one of us are the authors of this story. The depression that we feel is when we have surrendered ourselves to a story that's not ours. Instead of upholding false values or other people's values, you need to understand what story truly is and how we are held together by story, how the human experience is held together by story, so we can seek and find our own value." - Ben Stewart Would You Choose Pain Over Convenience? "We are not a species that is just looking for the easy thing to do. We think we're looking for convenience. But why are we not happy when we get to convenience land? Convenience does not get us to where we're going in our story, the pain is what really clarifies our vision." - Ben Stewart Technium Comes From God "The technium is a part of the vehicle by which we skyrocket into ourselves, into an awakening of who we are. There's something about what AI has the potential to do that I believe comes straight from source, straight from God. It looks separate from us but we are all of it, we are the technology." - Ben Stewart Links From Today's Show  Ben Stewart 416 Ben Stewart | Awakening In The Midst of Crisis Yuval Noah Harari 312 Kevin Kelly: What Technology Can Teach Us About Self Love The Great Simplification Podcast with Nate Hagens 442 Robert Breedlove | Blockchain Wellness: How To Use Bitcoin For Your Freedom, Health & Vitality How to Know Higher Worlds by Rudolf Steiner Erick Godsey The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk The Embryo In Us (Jaap van der Wal) 555 Mike Dillard | Richer Every Day: How To WIN The War on Your Money + Mind   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT 🎉 Paleovalley -  Now 20% off till February 28th!

"It doesn't take money to make money, it takes relationships and ideas. It takes value and exchange. So if you think you have a money problem, it's not really a money problem. It's a mental capital problem, which means ideas, knowledge, wisdom, insights, strategies, and tools." - Garrett Gunderson Value Creation "Money is a byproduct of value creation. Value creation means that we've served someone, we've solved the problem, we've added value in their life. Vision is what determines value. And if we have a limited vision, we're going to limit our value." - Garrett Gunderson Take Responsibility for Your Actions "Responsibility is the key reason why people don't have wealth. You have to be responsible for your actions and reactions. You have to be responsible your next thing that you do, and even for your mindset. And if you don't take responsibility, you can't have prosperity because one doesn't exist without the other." - Garrett Gunderson Links From Today's Show  Garrett Gunderson What Would the Rockefellers Do? by Garrett Gunderson + Michael Isom Killing Sacred Cows by Garret Gunderson + Stephen Palmer Click (2006) Multiplier Program JV Crum The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk The Town (2010) MissingMoney.com Dave Ramsey   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT 🎉 Paleovalley -  Now 20% off till February 28th!

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show The Liver Is Processing Collective Trauma "We're moving from a place as a human species that was so mentalized into feeling our body more. No wonder the liver is under so much strain because it's being asked to do a lot. It's being asked to process our cumulative trauma as a culture, as a society, as well as massive amounts of chemical toxins. The amount of things that people have coming up to be cleansed and purified matches the collective energy on the planet at the same time." - Dr. Kevin Preston Why Detox Is Necessary "There are a lot of toxins in the environment and our bodies are going to have to respond to that in some way. We are built to detox a lot, but when we stress our detox pathways over and over and over again, by overwhelming amounts of toxins coming in, they get fatigued. They need a rest. They need a break. But if we don't give the body a break of incoming toxins, it's not long before those filters get stuck." - Dr. Kevin Preston Combining Different Healing Modalities "Let's get you doing a bit of breathwork. Let's get you seeing a somatic therapist because you're holding so much rage and anger right now. Your liver is like a clenched fist that I could try and soften with some herbs, but you're probably going to have a much greater and faster effect addressing the nervous system. And then let's start processing some of the physical stuff. Let's do some acupuncture, get a massage, or maybe get some lymphatic drainage." - Dr. Kevin Preston Links From Today's Show  Dr. Kevin Preston 597 Dr. Kevin Preston | The Emotional Roots of Disease: How Progressive Chinese Medicine Liberates Stuck Energy + Heals Generational Trauma Atomic Habits by James Clear The Gene Keys by Richard Rudd Consumer Reports urges USDA to remove Lunchables From National School Lunch Program 624 Teal Swan | Ancestral Healing: Multidimensional Genetics, Conscious Parenting + The Impossible Task of Single Mothers 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage Zach Bush MD Charles Eisenstein The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho 692 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT 🎉 Paleovalley -  Now 20% off till February 28th!

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 710 What role does the mind play in healing chronic disease? Dane Johnson, Board Certified Nutritionist + Founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 710, to share his journey of battling ulcerative colitis to transforming his pain into purpose, why we should be blending alternative and conventional medicine, and why using mindset and manifestation can rebuild your health. "I was done suffering because I just suffered enough. Something just changed in me where I said, I'm tired of being unhappy and I'm tired of being sick and I'm tired of being depressed. I needed to get back to normal, but then I went straight above normal and did 10X over anyone ever before. I'm happier, healthier, stronger, wiser, and a better person now than ever before I was sick." - Dane Johnson 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.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show You Decide What Truth Is "Everything that you need to do to take back your life is the exact same to actually be one of the strongest humans on the planet. Your goal is to change how you feel about life, not what is truth, because truth is not real. It's all what you decide is truth. You get to decide what is good or bad with integrity in your soul, and you get to decide what success is." - Dane Johnson Choose Your Reality "I chose a reality that I'm already healed, that my body is already healing and I'm on my way up. Instead of living in the reality that I'm not there yet and this can't work and I'm exhausted, I'm gonna burn out and quit. Every vibration, every word out of your mouth, every conversation is now more beautiful, more helpful for everyone else, including yourself. Because I believe what is good for others is also good for yourself." - Dane Johnson Be of Value to Others "One of the hardest things spiritually is that you are no longer of value to anybody. Everyone has to do everything for you when you're sick. And so I took back my power to be of value to others. And that is so spiritually nourishing. What gives us all the most value in our life is how we are of service to others." - Dane Johnson Links From Today's Show  Dane Johnson Garrain Jones | Harmonized Human: How To STOP Suffering + Create The New 2.0 Version of YOU FREE JOURNAL Dry Farm Wines: Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your first membership order for just 1¢ 345 Zach Bush MD: Humanity, Consciousness & COVID19 Unlimited Power by Tony Robbins Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT 🎉 Paleovalley -  Now 20% off till February 28th!
