A Quest for Well-Being

— "Your intellect won't work in here,

it's useless at these depths.

Leave your logic on the shore,

over by those stony steps."

"This is a well of all healing -

what doesn't heal will continue to bleed.

Let your sadness run right through you,

though it's very hard indeed."

~ On Leaving All Logic On The Shore And Healing The Heart… poem by Jeanne

— Boost your well-being and cellular energy by depleting deuterium. The first published study on deuterium depleted water in 1961 to the 2007 discovered that deuterium damages mitochondria, the geroprotective benefits of being deuterium depleted are evident. Deuterium interference can be reduced by drinking litewater on a daily basis. You will keep your body's deuterium levels low at your own pace and protect yourself from the aging process. DDW (deuterium-depleted water), unlike natural water, it contains a lower concentration of deuterium. Litewater is the most deuterium depleted water in the world.

Valeria interviews Victor Sagalovsky — he is the author of "Gold: Catalyst of Radiant Health: History and Science of Gold's Medicinal Benefit"

Victor is also the cofounder and CEO of Litewater Scientific, the first and only super deuterium-depleted light water, where he has dedicated himself to the research, development, and production of this rare water.

Victor has researched and studied the benefits of deuterium-depleted water through his theory entitled Endogenous Radiation Damage Theory of Aging. It

proposes that our biggest obstacle to longevity is the excess deuterium and other damaging isotopes on the planet and proper mitigation will radically extend our lifespans.

Victor started his career as an innovator in plant-based culinary art, having co- founded the first organic gourmet raw food restaurant in North America called RAW.

He attended Loyola University and the University of Hawaii where he pursued multidisciplinary education. He has completed apprenticeships and graduate coursework in chemistry, optical microscopy, and molecular biology.

He is the author of many articles and guides in the field of wellness, biohacking, emerging medicine, technology, mysticism, and esoteric wisdom.

Outside of the water category, Victor is the author of Gold: Catalyst of Radiant Health, a book about the history and science of the medicinal benefits of gold, and is adept in gold alchemy and the making of ORME's.

— We can reshape our attitude toward mental health issues, break the stigma that surrounds mental illness, and give everyday people practical skills to help them navigate society. There are many false notions surrounding therapy. People think it won't help them and often believe it is only for "crazy people." Therapy is an art just as much as it is a science—a dance between the two. Seeing a therapist simply means you have an unbiased person in your life to help you as you proceed on your journey—a professional clinician sitting with you and assisting you along your healing path. Prioritizing mental health has never been more important than it is today. You can connect with yourself and start working on some area of your mental health because you matter. This is Kaitlyn's vision and mission.

— As long as the patterns of conditioning remain uncovered, painful cycles may repeat. In order to heal yourself, it's important to do integrated work, ask the empowering questions, and follow where it leads — which is usually your parent or someone who raised you. When you get there, forgive them and yourself and let go of whatever it is that you need to let go of. You will then begin to think differently about your life, some aspects of it and start a new path of growth and renewal.

Valeria interviews Hilda Mollenhoff — She is Certified Hypnotherapist and Mindset Coach.

Hilda's passion for mental health and mindset started when she had gone through her own battles with mental health. She had learned to do meditation and yoga over 20 years ago and discovered the impact it had on her self-awareness. Hilda's experience with mental health and the mindset made her dive deeper into the healing arts so she could help guide others to feeling better. Hilda studied energy healing as she journeyed into the healing arts. Then on day someone introduced her to hypnotherapy and learned the science of the mind and she was sold. Hilda studied hypnotherapy and opened her own practice. Through this work she discovered how important it is for people to discover the power of the subconscious mind and their own mindset to create shifts in their lives. Hilda uses hypnotherapy and mindset coaching as it is imperative to the wellbeing and discovering our mental patterns. Hilda's unique talent are her intuitive and inquisitive mind that hones in on the actual issue causing the symptoms. Hilda practices mindset and meditation as a daily lifestyle and it has completely changed how she views the world. She hopes with her experience to educate and help other help understand their own patterns to the shift.

— We heal through connection, reducing isolation, judgment and having supportive people to go along with us on our journey of healing. Our society and culture perpetuates standards of "masculinity"; what it means to be male, through norms of encouraging male power, dominance, and privilege, while discouraging and disapproving the expression of emotions for males. These stigmas and beliefs perpetuate, delay, and prevent males from talking about, seeking and engaging in treatment for mental illness. By sharing his life events and personal journey to address and manage his mental illness, Clint is working on helping to break down the stigma of males talking about mental health and seeking treatment options.

— Every human being has a unique gift to offer to the world and this is our purpose as humans on this planet. We have been offered this life, so let's make the most of it by doing something great, something worthwhile, something we can be remembered by. An individual's sense of purpose goes beyond simply achieving a particular goal; it involves making a positive impact on the world, no matter how big or small.

— In order to understand anxiety, we must first understand that it is a normal response to stress. A person who feels anxious is likely facing a new and unknown experience. If you think back to a time when you applied for a sports team, attended a job interview, or met someone new and unknown, fear and anxiety were likely present. Stress signals are sent by the body to keep you safe and secure. These signals inform the body that something is out of routine, or that there is something that needs to be taken into consideration. These signals aim to keep us out of dangerous situations and out of harm's way. In the course of our daily lives, we are subjected to these 'stress signals' over and over again, which can be a problem for us when we become anxious. We are at an unhealthy level of anxiety when normal, daily decisions overwhelm us. What can we do about it?

Valeria interviews Eric Gilbert — He has helped hundreds of adults and youth dealing with high levels of anxiety, stress, or fear to be more calm and confident.

Eric understands firsthand what it's like facing debilitating anxiety. As a child, Eric hardly spoke. It was through family counseling he learned about how his level of anxiety affected his social interactions, mood, and explosions of anger. With this personal journey, he pursued professional training to earn a Master's degree in Marriage and Family therapy, certifications in life coaching, relationship coaching, cognitive behavioral techniques, and more. Eric brings an uplifting, Christian approach for relieving stress and anxiety developed from over ten years work in the areas of mental and emotional health.

The 'Rising Calm' process Eric developed helps you to rise above anxiety to experience love and success in all areas of your life. His work focuses on taking you from anxious and stressed to calm, centered and focused no matter the situation: work, school, social gatherings, heated arguments, tight deadlines, placement exams, etc. The process involves learning and practicing effective ways to calm your mind and nervous system even in anxiety-provoking situations. Eric treasures helping people to rise above the storms of life and experience a greater level of peace and purpose.
