Over 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates stated to “let medicine be thy food & food be thy medicine.” In the modern day world, much of society has forgotten this notion. With chronic disease, obesity & stress being seen as almost “normal” these days, it is more apparent than ever that what the world needs now more than ever is to re-educate them on the importance of high quality food & the importance of soil health, as more of our soil is now considered dirt than ever, with chemical salt nutrients depleting the micro nutrients & overall life out of the top soils across the world at large. Coming onto the show to share his wisdom & insight with us today on these matters & more is someone who when I first met, I immediately clicked with. Him & I share very similar philosophies on the topics listed within this episode & more & will be exploring his journey into health & wellness, his tips for making simple changes to your diet that will allow you to see massive changes in your health, his journey into beginning his own coaching business, which helps nature driven men upgrade their mindset, gut & muscle with a combination of diet & exercise, all the ins & outs of his inner fit program, ways to become a part of his community & what ever other topics the divine wills into action throughout our conversation.

If there is one thing that life has taught me up until this point, it’s that anything can happen. This notion of anything being able to happen at any moment, when we really sit into it, is one of the main reasons so many of us are experiencing challenges in our state of being, such as anxiety, paranoia & agitation, to name but a few. These all stem from an overactive sympathetic nervous system, which is classically referred to as the “fight or flight” system within our bodies. While we cannot control the outside world, we can learn to control our reactions towards it & one of the best practices I have found for this includes cold water exposure & the art of breathwork. In our current time in history, I feel it is more important than ever for people to be aware of these types of practices, especially considering they do not require money for us to explore & is the reason why I am SO fired up about todays guest on the show. He is a certified Wim Hof facilitator, hosting workshops across the country to empower each individual he works with with the ability to not only control his or her nervous system, but to literally become the eye of the storm in their lives, which allows for heightened presence, confidence & awareness of their own state of being. In addition, he is also a yoga teacher & a highly skilled CHEK practitioner, which allows him to have a unique skill to bestow upon his clients in their ever evolving journey into self mastery!

When we think about the concept of health as a whole, few subjects come to mind quicker than that of nutrition. The food we eat can either act as medicine which allows us to live out our full potential or poison that will force us into the throes of dis-ease as our body attempts to perform its processes without high quality food. The challenge in the modern day however, is that, along with there being a surplus of bad quality food & misinformation on what food is & how to optimize our diet as individuals, many of our guts are now compromised from the fore mentioned reasons, along with chemicals such as glyphosate, which wreak havoc upon our gut & overall health as human beings. You might ask yourself, at this point, what you could do to effectively keep your gut in tip top shape & ensure you are receiving every last drop out of nutrition out of your food & these subjects & more are exactly what I am so thrilled to speak about with todays guest. He is a 3 time Canadian National all natural body building champion who competed as a vegetarian, is the host of the “Awesome Health” podcast, which illuminates cutting edge health tools, technology, principles & nutritional science that can help someone transform their digestion, is an advisor to the American Anti Cancer institute & is the director of education & Vice President of BiOptimizers, which is a company dedicated to consistently bringing forth the worlds most innovative nutritional supplements with the intention of healing each of their clients from the inside out. This episode is sure to leave you feeling inspired through his journey, empowered through the knowledge & wisdom he drops & excited to take charge of your health with the amazing products he creates.

When it comes to the subject of health, there are endless side quests one can go on to create harmony in their physical, emotional, mental & spiritual well being. This being said, it begs the question for all of us on this collective journey of health to ask ourselves, where do we start? What I have found in my own health journey is that this is the hardest part, especially with the endless amount of info available today on the ever expanding topic of health. For me, this is why I work with holistic health coaches who can help me go from analysis paralysis with regards to health to a state of empowerment with knowing where to put my energy to allow my health to thrive. Todays guest on the show is a master in the realm of holistic health & is someone who I admire greatly, as I myself am passionate & enthralled with the subject of health as a whole.

When we think of the concept of life, what is immediately apparent is that no life is without its fair share of challenges. If there is one thing I’ve come to realize in my own experience of life, it’s that we must fight to not only accomplish our dreams, but to also remember who & what we truly are. This fight is cyclical, in that throughout our lives, we will inevitably face new challenges within the many cycles of our lives & the way in which we resolve these conflicts will differ depending upon the situation at hand. Todays guest on the show is a master in taking on the fight of life & persevering not only physically, but also emotionally, mentally & spiritually as well.

When I began viewing life through the lens of us being the creator of my reality, no area became more important & pertinent to put that concept into play than the choice of language I spoke. The famous term “abrakadabra” literally translates to “with my word I create.” This shows that this is no new discovery & is actually much more of a re-membering that many are currently embarking upon as this information gains traction in the world at large. The power of the spoken word is so important that it is rumored in many ancient texts to be what began the Big Bang & led to what we now are able to experience as infinite spirit embodied in the human form. This being said, you might ask yourself where do we begin, how far can this rabbit hole go & what are the real world, tangible results of adopting such principles with regards to language in our lives? Sharing her time, wisdom & presence with us today on the show is a woman who has made it her life’s work to remain curious regarding these questions & is a dear friend who in the short time I have known her, has completely revolutionized the way I look at language. She is a samurai of the word & her commodity is rooted in the trance-lation of the English language. Her business, word magic global, which focuses the art of wordplay to unravel mass hypnosis, has been on the leading edge of the language revolution since it’s beginning, however, she has been honing her skills & putting the Alpha back in alphabet since early childhood, where she began to have questions regarding language that no one could seem to answer. This episode is sure to expand your mind, heart & soul to new heights & will leave you each with childlike wonder in the realization of just how powerful language is in our lives & how much we as a society have yet to inner-stand regarding its ability to create the lives we live.

One of my favorite aspects of life is discovering people who remind me how similar we all are, despite are unique differences. For me, this is yet another example of the gift we can receive when we choose to see ourselves mirrored back in the people around us & tune into the freedom that occurs when we take ourselves less seriously, embody the medicine of laughter & allow our egos to take a back seat in place of learning from one another. Stopping by to share his time & wisdom with us today on the show is a gentleman that I was introduced to by a mutual friend of ours who relayed to me that we were doppelgängers of one another. The cosmic giggle in this was that when he shared with me who it was, I had already been seeing him pop up on social media & be spoken about in the circles I was frequenting. He is a mentor who guides health coaches in creating accountability & structure within their lives to experience the freedom residing within these states of awareness, is the COO of primal fusion, which fuses science & spirituality for advanced clinical health & performance & is a very experienced CHEK professional & faculty member, where he has taken his passion & love for holistic health & embarked upon a never ending quest of childlike curiosity of what can happen in our experience of life when we achieve balance & stability within our physical, emotional, mental & spiritual well being, while at the same time, having the most fun possible in doing so.

For anyone who has been listening to this show long enough, you know my love & affinity for the Cannabis plant. This plant is one which I have a deep relationship with & one which has aided me in my never ending quest for physical, emotional, mental & spiritual well being. This being said, one of the areas that is gaining a lot of popularity within the realm of Cannabis is that of Cannabis & exercise, specifically within the area of running. When we run, we stimulate the release of endocannabinoids, such as Anadamide, which allow us to feel the “high” commonly associated with exercise. When we interact with Cannabis & run, however, we not only stimulate these endocannabinoids, but we are also able to invoke a sense of “one-ness” with the nature around us, which ultimately brings forth the ability to be more present & calm, even in the face of intense physical challenges. Todays guest on the show is an expert in the realm of Cannabis & running & is someone I am extremely excited to dive in with on the subject of Cannabis as a whole. He is a professional journalist, having worked in the field for over 10 years for organizations such as Vice, The Guardian & Esquire, is the senior editor of the Suspect Press magazine & is the Author & Soul behind the book “Runners High”, which was released in 2021 & speaks to how a movement of Cannabis fueled Athletes is changing the science of sports.

When we look at the idea of masculinity as a whole, it is easy to see that somewhere along the way, our path as men became challenged & confused. A path that was once focused upon concepts of being centered in ourselves, acting as pillars of strength for those we love & being compassionate warriors for the world at large became refocused into concepts of aggression towards one another & ego driven insecurities presenting themselves in a way that has led to masculinity being represented by words such as “toxic” & “unhealthy.” The most unfortunate aspect of these challenges is that, in reality, this is simply a misnomer of what true divine masculinity is. In the present day, however, there are many men who are doing their part in helping their fellow brothers re-establish what it means to be a man for themselves & those they love & one of the leading warriors of that charge is todays guest on the show. His business, “Building Men”, which he co-created with his dear brother, was a result of seeing first hand while working as a middle school assistant principal the degree to which the boys in his school were facing struggles. The result of these challenges included disciplinary incidents, suspensions & failing grades, to name but a few. He knew he had to do something to be a part of the change that was so desperately needed in the lives of men of all ages & began the quest of taking action to do just that. The action he has taken has allowed him to work with individuals, schools & organizations all over the country & provide support in the realms of professional development, motivational speaking & life coaching for men to take their power back & become the heroes of their own lives. In addition to this, he & his business partner, Anthony, also speak to these challenges with leading experts on their podcast, the building men podcast, which I highly recommend & which can be found on Spotify, Apple podcasts & many other platforms as well.
