Just Think: The Podcast

She was a successful "stylist to the stars" in Hollywood, at the top of the professional game, when Ali Levine had to acknowledge that, internally, she was hitting rock bottom.

A journey to find answers and understanding, to find inner healing, peace and joy again, led her away from her profession and into a relationship with God that has profoundly changed her life (and relationships) for the better. And how did she find it? Through breathwork.

Having been raised Catholic and born Jewish, Ali called herself a "Cashew" but acknowledges she didn't personally know God. In any case, she never expected to find Him through a practice that was neither Christian or Jewish but was truly a desperate attempt to break free of the anxiety, depression, and dis-ease she felt internally.

But find Him she did, along with the peace and joy and wisdom she was searching for. And today she is helping others find what she was searching for as well through her meditative breathwork exercises. Listen in as Ali shares her unique story and how something "so hokey" turned out to be so healing, and how we can find that, too.

Many people suffer from chronic conditions for which they have been told there is no solution. But we are learning that isn't always true at all--there is HOPE.

And in this episode, we speak to an ambassador of hope and healing for anyone suffering with chronic digestive issues--Dane Johnson.

Dane is the founder of Crohns Colitis Lifestyle, a foundation he created that is inspired by his life-threatening battle with Crohn’s/Colitis which he reversed using natural practices. As a Board Certified Nutritionist and one of the most successful Crohn’s/Colitis coaches in the world, he has helped thousands around the world find their unique answer to Irritable Bowel Disease while building a community of supporters, doctors and healers.

This episode is not only for anyone suffering but for the caretakers, for those of us who want to continue learning about root causes of disease and how to have hope that the body can heal itself when we figure out how to help it do what it is created to do.

In this episode, we talk about language control, a border crisis, liars who lie, "furries" who bite, the fear of speaking up, a lack of accountability, a cry for justice, and what we can and should do--collectively--to push back against the corruption and the insanity.

It's one of the most polarizing topics of our time, and one the Democrats plan to use to help sway voters to re-elect President Joe Biden: Abortion. From "the right to life" movement on the right to the "reproductive rights" movement on the left, the opposite ends of the spectrum seem to yell the loudest in the conversation.

While we have discussed abortion in an episode after Roe V. Wade was overturned, more from the constitutional scholars' response to the ruling, we haven't really taken a deeper dive into the topic. But we wanted to have this conversation without the noise, beyond the two warring opinions, to educate, to identify fact versus fiction (ie--Abortions have actually not decreased nationally since Roe V. Wade was overturned), and to turn our focus to the woman who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant in a world that is often encouraging abortion rather than educating her in and supporting her on all of her options.

In this episode, we interview Erica Spivey, someone who works with an organization who is doing just that. She sheds light on what's really happening in the world of unplanned pregnancies and why it is vital that we truly understand the options and the consequences of them, and that we come alongside to love, support, and educate the women who must choose.

We hope this episode will inspire you--to feel empowered to take more control of your own health and wellness, regardless of your current age, health status, weight, fitness level, etc. We just finished the 75 Hard Challenge together, and it taught us even more about ourselves, about self-discipline, about our fuel and movement and about how age is not just a number, not a sentence.

So much has been said by the mainstream media about the events that transpired at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. But we have felt there was so much NOT being said, not being told, and not being clarified, so we have been wanting to interview someone who was not only there, but someone who was arrested, whose home was raided by the FBI, and who is currently battling the US government for justice.  

Siaka Massaquoi is an actor who was living in LA who was in Washington, DC on January 6th.  Seeing the events that were happening around the capitol that day on television, he left his hotel room with his phone in hand to document what was happening.  He spent just over 70 seconds inside the capitol, all of it documented, following the orders of officers inside. But what transpired over the next weeks, months and now years as a result of his presence there will make you question the country we are all living in and if justice truly prevails.  This is a must-listen.

It's WILD--Xylitol is a carbohydrate found in birch trees that is used as a sugar substitute, but it has also been studied for tooth decay prevention and ear infection prevention in children.  It's ALSO been studied as a means of deactivating respiratory viruses and blocking viral adhesion to human airway tissue.

When Covid hit, there were indications that using a xylitol spray known as Xclear could potentially deactivate adhesion of the virus to the nasal passages where the viral load for the disease is carried.  The science was turned over to the US government by Xlear in hopes that they could offer a possible means of prevention or even early treatment option. 

The science was NEVER read.

Instead, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Xlear, on behalf of the United States, alleging that certain statements made by Xlear violated the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Consumer Protection Act. 

In this episode, we chat with CEO Nathan Jones who issued a statement in response to the lawsuit which read, in part, "Last year, the Government published on the website of the National Institutes of Health the results of a clinical trial (that) found people who were already sick with COVID-19, who used Xlear nasal spray—and just Xlear nasal spray—cleared the disease and tested negative in half the time of the average COVID-19 case. None of the patients developed severe cases, none required hospitalization. Now the Government is suing Xlear asserting, among other things, that when Xlear tells people about scientific studies, even ones republished by the NIH, we are somehow misleading people and making false claims. It’s nonsensical."

What's happening to Xlear sounds CRAZY, and worse, it continues to implicate the depths of corruption.  You'll want to hear this story...and share it...because people need to know. 

The evidence has been mounting, and thankfully it seems more and more people are seeing it:  we were duped.  Well, not all of us, not all of us fully, maybe some in part, but the truth is coming to light.  The darkness cannot prevail against it.  The question remains, "Who has the eyes to see, the heart and mind to understand, what has really been happening?" 

In this episode, we blaze through more headlines, highlighting the absurdities, the lies, the revelations of truth that continue to emerge.  And our greatest hope is that everyone awakens, that they have the humility to acknowledge they were duped, before it's too late, and that we unite together to put an end to the insanity.

All of us have received a cancer diagnosis or know someone close to us who has. And it's terribly frightening to hear that word, isn't it? It's hard not to hear it and not think "death sentence".  And yet there are people who have healed from it and remained cancer-free, and surprisingly to many we are sure, they have done it through their own lifestyle changes. 

Meet Chris Wark.  You may know him from "Chris Best Cancer", his website of resources and his best-selling books. In 2003, at the age of 26 years old, Chris was diagnosed with Stage IIIc colon cancer. There was a golf ball sized tumor in his large intestine, and the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes. The oncologist told him he was “insane”, but after prayerful consideration and research, he decided against chemotherapy after surgery. Instead, he radically changed his diet and did every natural non-toxic therapy he could find. So in 2010, he started his blog to share his story and everything he had learned about nutrition and natural therapies for cancer. He also started sharing cancer healing testimonials from other survivors.  Today he is still cancer free, healthy and strong, and in the best shape of his life.

Chris' message is this: "If you have been diagnosed with cancer, you have options-- Many more than you’ve been told. You have the power to transform your life and regain your health. If I did it, you can too."

This one is a MUST-LISTEN, and one you will want to share. 

Alma Ohene-Opare is a software engineer, a tech entrepreneur, a writer, and social commentator.  He's also host of the Restitch America Podcast which aims to bridge the gap between the political factions in America through civil discourse and to advocate for a return to the founding ideals of the United States. We first met and interviewed Alma in 2021 when his video recording of his message to President Biden went viral. We were struck by his eloquence, his unique perspective as an immigrant in the United States, and his ability to calmly "speak the truth in love". Having immigrated from Ghana and followed the legal path to citizenship, Alma and his wife are now American citizens who will be voting in their first presidential election this year.  In his book that is out TODAY, "My American Privilege", Alma chronicles his journey to American citizenship and reveals the many reasons why he is grateful to be an American citizen and wants to help protect this country from destruction.
