  • #1303, Inner Dialogue, Glyphosate, Homeschooling

    Happy Thursday!
    Bernadette and team OLR are so excited for football season! The Oklahoma Sooners will be playing this season! One Life Radio says Boomer Sooner!
    Zen Honeycutt
    Zen Honeycutt is an activist, speaker, author, and the founder and director of Moms Across America, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to educate and empower mothers and others with actions and solutions to create healthy communities. While heading Moms Across America, Zen initiated the first testing for glyphosate in tap water, breast milk, and urine and spearheaded the non-profit’s successful petition to Costco to remove Roundup from their shelves. She is the author of “UNSTOPPABLE: Transforming Sickness and Struggle into Triumph, Empowerment And A Celebration of Community.”
    Back To School Or Homeschool During COVID-19
    Integrative Pediatric Summit is here! Go to Zen's website for a free online book. Zen is talking about homeopathic and western medicine combined to cure and aide in things like autism. Don't give up and be sure to explore all options. Bernadette is nervous about sending her high schooler back to school on Monday. The #1 thing you can do as a child or a parent of a child is to make sure their immune system is operating at tip top shape. The largest factor to a poor immune system is sugar, so lay your kiddos off the sweet snacks. If you or you child are ingesting glyphosate, you are harming your immune system. Go organic, it's the bet way to guarantee glyphosate-free foods!
    How To Cope At Home
    The pros of homeschooling is that you can school your children for shorter periods of time. They can get more work done in less time, so that gives them more time to be creative! Personal interaction with parents creates strong ties. The cons of homeschooling could be problematic if the child d0es not want to stay at home. Bernadette says that letting your child rest to the circadian rhythm (As well as yourself!) Extra sleep equals happy and healthier kids. If you're taking on homeschooling separately from school, have a schedule and stick to it as much as you can! Make homeschooling fun! Use this opportunity to be with your kids like you have not been able to do before.

    Bernadette asks Zen for some tips to stay sane during COVID. Spend time on one day of the week where everyone in the family can speak their mind and reflect upon the week. Adopt a pet! Go outside! Pets share their microbiomes with their owners! Don't fret if your dog licks your popsicle. The exposure to different microbiomes can strengthen you and your Childs immune system! Make Art! Your children will remember the time you took out of your busy day to spend time with them, so make it count.
    Glyphosate
    Zen got an email from an unnamed manufacturer about her avid repulsion against glyphosate. Glyphosate is sprayed on everything! Be sure to always look at the clean fifteen and the dirty dozen, so keep that list handy! To be sure to always steer clear of foods riddled with glyphosate and antibiotics, always buy organic. We have to clean up the earth, and it starts with chemicals like glyphosate.

    Bernadette is being bold, and asking a heated question. What does The Moms Across America think about the flu shot? The flu shot contains aluminum, sugar, gelatin from pig bones, mercury, and more. The 2020 pentagon study shows that the flu shot increases your chances of getting COVID-19 by 30 percent. The flu virus mutates rapidly, as does the COVID virus. We, as Americans need to know facts! Do your research before putting anything into your body, especially vaccines.

  • #1302, Fastercise, Robyn Youkilis and “Thin From Within”

    Happy Workout Wednesday!
    Renaldo and Bernadette are doing great and are ready to get their days started! Bernadette made a delicious dish last night and is still so excited about that! Bernadette and team OLR are so excited for today's guests. Its workout Wednesday! We are into fitness... fitness this whole pizza in our mouth! Let's get this show started with our guests, Dr. Denis Wilson and Robyn Youkilis.
    Dr. Denis Wilson and Allison Roberts
    Today we welcome Dr. Denis Wilson to One Life Radio! Dr. Wilson has spent 30 years of his medical career focusing on body temperature and human metabolism. Over the past three decades, he has trained thousands of doctors on his methods, revolutionizing the way doctors diagnose and treat thyroid symptoms and metabolic disorders. Along with his daughter Allison, they founded Fastercise, a fitness program that uses medical-based research to help with weight management.
    Fastercise
    Fastercise is a fitness program that works when nothing else does! It allows you to eat less but not feel hunger! A day of fastercise is a day filled with waves of hunger. People typically get hungry morning, noon, night. Before eating your first meal, do one minute of "shivering" exercise. Your hunger will actually go away for two hours after you shiver! To shiver, just shake your legs and arms back and forth an inch in either directions. Even just laying down on your bed and shivering can stop hunger! Dr. Denis has noticed that children with autism spectrum disorder sometimes shiver or shake to their advantage! Shivering can give you energy. Shivering can be a great addiction to whatever exercise routine you already follow, or according to Dr. Denis, you can replace your workouts with fastercising completely!

    Allison had just had her baby and was 30 pounds heavier when she started fastercise. Filled with stress, Allison gave her Dad's fitness program a try. She lost the weight in 3 months! Just 8 months after having her baby, Allison entered a fitness competition and played high! Fastercise works! Tightening also works as a way to curb hunger. With shivering and tightening your muscles, hunger is canceled! The way you can think of it is the way a syphon works. One end has water and the other has an end that draws water. So with fastercise, your re creating a huge draw on your energy reserve, You are basically telling the body you are needing tons of energy When shivering and tightening, your energy need goes up 120 fold!

    Timing is important, you won't start burning fat until you are hungry. Wait to fastercise until you are hungry. A good time to tighten your muscles is after you've eaten. Fasting helps you rebuild your mitochondria, which is crucial for your brain. Fasting increasing longevity and brain function.
    Robyn Youkilis
    Robyn Youkilis is an AADP Certified Health Coach, author, internationally renowned speaker, and leading expert in holistic digestive health. Robyn’s coaching practice, “Your Healthiest You”, helps clients shed both physical and emotional weight with her straightforward yet supportive coaching style. She is the author of the groundbreaking book, Go with Your Gut, as well as “Thin From Within - The Go with Your Gut Way to Lose Weight.”
    Thin From Within
    Thin From Within was written to support you in a healthy weight without shame and without guilt. Robyn wanted to write a book that didn't make demands of people for them to lose weight. She wanted to focus on the internal and not the external. It's all okay! Weight loss is a complicated conversation. You body may look exactly the same after following her regime, but you will feel better. Bernadette feels that Robyn's book is the key for calming the mind surrounding food. Intuitive eating is all about balance. Trust your body. Eating a croissant isn't always bad! Enjoying your food is important. Robyn's food guides you through the rocky relat...

  • #1301, Del Bigtree and Censorship, Enviromedica’s Jared Ramirez

    Happy Tuesday!
    Happy Tuesday from the OLR team! We are just so excited for Del Bigtree and Jared Ramirez to be here! This is one of One Life Radio's most important shows in history! With censorship becoming a bigger and bigger problem these days, Del Bigtree is discussing his personal struggles with being censored.
    Jared Ramirez Enviromedica




    Jared Ramirez is the CEO of Enviromedica, makers of Terraflora and a sponsor of One Life Radio. Enviromedica is a natural health and wellness company founded in 2007. Inspired by nature and ancestral health, they make premium foundational products to support whole body nutrition and help people achieve optimal health.




    You can start giving your child a healthier immune system at home! There's a deep divide in the decision to send children back to school or not. Fear not, children's immune systems are resilient! Make sure that your child goes to sleep at a decent hour, because sleep is so important! Get your kiddo outside and soaking up the sun. More than 70% of our immune system lies in our gut! Our gut environment is the equivalent of a plant's root system. Supporting the microbiome of kids is paramount for children's success.

    LC plasma, referred to in scientific literature, is Lactococcus Lactis. Lactococcus Lactis is a heat killed paraprobiotic. When LC plasma are killed, they release metabolites. When consumed, they have an immune priming affect, so all different body functions are benefitting! LC Plasma is very good for respiratory and immune health.
    Del Bigtree






    Del Bigtree is one of the preeminent voices for the Vaccine Risk Awareness Movement. His career as an Emmy winning producer of the CBS talk show "The Doctors" changed profoundly when he produced the documentary "VAXXED." VAXXED is credited with igniting a revolution against Pharmaceutical Tyranny around the world. Now, Del’s internet talk show, "The High Wire," is the fastest growing program in the Natural Health arena! "The High Wire" has over 40 million views. His non-profit, ICANdecide.org, is leading worldwide investigations into drug and vaccine fraud.  His investigations have already resulted in two winning lawsuits against US Government agencies. Health and Human Services and National Institute of Health. Del is probably best known for his powerful speeches that weave shocking truth, searing wit, and dynamic passion into an experience that is often described as electrifying.






    Censorship and Vaccines
    Del Bigtree is here! One Life Radio has heard that Del has been censored. Del Says that his YouTube channel was shut down completely. His personal twitter has been shut down. Last Saturday, CNN featured "The High Wire" as a show that is dangerous to the public. Del Bigtree is simply telling the truth! One of his videos with 17 million views about frontline doctors was completely removed from Facebook and Twitter. Del Bigtree suggests that Hydroxychloroquine is one of the drugs that's has been used for decades and has been ruled safe by the FDA, but now, the FDA has ruled it unsafe. Why? Del got into trouble when he began to draw conclusions and correlations between COVID-19 and Hydroxychloroquine. According to Del, the media is censoring those who seek to find alternative routes to controlling COVID-19, but that the media would rather push a vaccine.

    If the government can force a product into you, you are essentially saying that your body is property of the US government. Our first amendment rights are in danger.
    Vaccines
    Del Bigtree has been traveling all over the country as a medical journalist to speak the truth. From 12.8 percent of children in the 1980's having permanent chronic illness to 54 percent of children living w...

  • #1300, Brad Aronson HumanKind, Healing Core Wounds

    Happy Monday!
    Renaldo and Bernadette are both having great days and are filled with high energy! Bernadette started baking bread this morning, and has decided to give loaves to those who are less fortunate. How kind!
    Autumn Warren Connolly
    Bernadette and Autumn are so excited about the podcast they recorded over the weekend. Check back on the website soon to listen! Autumn Warren Connolly discusses core wounds. Core wounds are wounds that affect us when we are not emotionally ready or equipped to handle at the time. Events like divorce, going to daycare, or the loss of a family member as a child can carry on to adulthood. The core wounds cause our deepest darkest fear. Most of us can live our whole lives without facing the core wounds that reside inside of us. We don't have the emotional range as children to address or fix our wounds, so we must be consciously aware as adults! Wait to feel that trigger within you to begin healing.

    We know we have a core wound when feel like our interpersonal relationships have overwhelming themes of hurt. More often than not, the overwhelming,ing feeling of hurt begins to manifest within us, so it urges us to do something about it. Anything that causes emotional pain right now is likely form a core wound. Let it out! Cry it out! Instead of moving on after shedding tears, take a little more time to venture a little deeper. You have to feel the pain in order for it to go away.

    Adi Mantra is typically done prior to a long meditation. Adi Mantra opens you up to more feelings and emotions. It allows peace and stillness and can even let you find your core wounds so you can address them! "Adi" loosely translates to "I Bow To All That Is." The Adi Mantra connects us to our highest source of wisdom.
    Brad Aronson
    Brad Aronson is an author, entrepreneur, tech startup investor and mentor. His entrepreneurial ventures began in junior high when he shoveling snow, selling iced tea at baseball games and delivering sodas at summer camp. Brad’s first venture out of college, i-FRONTIER, grew into one of the largest and top rated digital ad agencies in the US. He serves as Board President of Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence Region, as well as Hopeworks ‘N Camden. A program providing tech training, jobs, housing, coaching and support to young people in one of America’s poorest cities. Brad is the author of the book we’re talking about today, HumanKind: Changing the World One Small Act At a Time.

    Brad started writing HumanKind five years ago, and coincidentally had his book be released during the beginning of the global pandemic. Instead of fretting, Brad decided that the book coming out in such a hard time was the best for everyone! We need kindness all the time, but especially when the media is negative story after negative story.
    HumanKind
    Brad decided to write this book after attending a high school graduation ceremony for a mentor of his. While sitting next to a 70 year old man, he discovered this stranger went to that school's graduation ceremony every year because that same school turned his life around decades before. From that night on, he decided to write about happy stories. When his wife was diagnosed with cancer, Brad, his wife, and his son made it their daily goal to focus on the small kind actions that made the world of differences. Brad and Bernadette and say choose to celebrate the small victories. Instead of crossing off one item on your to do list and moving on to the next, celebrate your completion one thing! Smile. Have Fun.

    HumanKind is contagious! Kindness is contagious! Each story in Brad Aronson's book is "Love in Action." If you're not worries about the future, you are a very rare person. do something if you are worried. Choose something small. Make a friend, send letters to people who need pen pals! Click

  • #1297 Jaime-Lee Fraser and Sam Morris


    Two of our favorite guests are on the show today; Jamie Lee Frasier on Emotional Matrix Therapy (EMT), and Sam Morris on Preparedness.
    Emotional Matrix Therapy
    Jaime Lee Fraser is a bomb attack survivor.
    She was vacationing in Bali with friends in 2002, when two bombs went off in the nightclub she was in. Several hundred people were killed. Fraser was surrounded by bodies, alive and dead, glass and thought she was going to die. Her life was never the same.

    She got a counselor – but didn’t feel like it helped at all. Then in London she found a hypnotherapist, that was what helped more than anything. More than anything, she dove more into spirituality and self help. All in all, it's gratitude that changes the way that we operate. Fraser became a master of Emotional Matrix Therapy, a form of timeline therapy. When you go to a psychologist they listen and give you ways to cope on how to change your thinking or create new habits. With timeline therapy its your own personal timeline, more of a subconscious way of looking at life. It works on eradicating negative thoughts or behaviors by revisiting trauma and releasing it. You definitely want to hear her full interview, or check out her website, jaimeleefraser.com
    Preparedness
    Sam recently changed his company name to Unbreakable Human Project, and he changed it because of preparedness. Women in his community needed help as well as the men. The state of the world is we are having a human experience of chaos, so he changed it to work with all humans, making the human experience better.  Morris' Unbreakable Human Project programs are customized to what each person needs.

    Benjamin Franklin said, “By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail” and Morris agrees.  Some of the benefits of being prepared is the quiet mind. When you do everything you can to prepare, the more relaxed you are and the better you are at what you are there to accomplish. The more prepared you are the more flexible you can be. Being prepared means you have reduced the possible negative outcomes. You can course correct. When you have zero preparation, you are super rigid.

    Morris suggests using the 80/20 method. Do what you need to do 80% of the time and what you want to do 20% of the time. When you do what you need to do most of the time, life becomes more enjoyable as a whole.

  • #1296 Autumn Connolly and the COVID-19 Vaccine

    Happy Tuesday!
    Autumn is back today! Dr. Steve Schwartz had an emergency, but he'll be back soon! Mary Holland of Children's Health Defense joins us as well to update us on the race for a COVID-19 vaccine.
    Homeopathic Remedies for Summer With Autumn Warren Connolly
    Autumn and Bernadette discuss home remedies for poison ivy among other ailments. Use baking soda paste when you’re stung by a bee for instance.

    Keep your eye out for a new podcast with Autumn and Bernadette discussing homeopathic remedies!
    COVID-19 Vaccine Update
    We are happy to have Mary Holland of Children's Health Defense back on the show discussing the race to a COVID-19 vaccine.  Many entrepreneurs consider the COVID-19 vaccine a captured market, or “gold rush”. Health is what it should be about, but we keep making it about the money.

    Holland says companies are using a new technology called Messenger RNA to develop the vaccine. When injected, the vaccine works to give the body instructions on how to make the antibody.

    Many conflicts of interest are in production. For instance, Mederma executives are selling stocks at an unusually high rate. What do they know that we don't?  There are already problems and reported injuries in the clinical trials, but at this rate, we may be getting vaccines as early as October.

    Holland has a lot more to say on the subject, so listen to the full podcast and please subscribe and like One Life Radio! You can also visit the Children's Health Defense website for a ton of information regarding the safety of vaccines.

  • #1295 Manifestation, Gut Health

    Happy Monday!
    We're joined by our Monday MC Renaldo Davis and Host Bernadette Fiaschetti to start out the week right! Dr. Alvin Danenberg and Resident Earth Mama Autumn Warren Connolly are back with us!
    Autumn Warren Connolly
    Resident Earth Mama, Autumn, talks about manifesting what you want. Autumn says manifestation is really just math and energy. When you have thoughts and desires, they make vibrations which seek to match with similar vibrations in the universe. In other words, “like attracts like."  Autumn says to pick five short affirmations around what you really want for proper manifestation. What is most important is your own peace and joy. Connolly says to accept life for what it’s giving you and be at peace with yourself. That way you can be in any situation and feel OK.

    We end with our weekly mantra. This one is about finding your true self. Listen to the podcast to learn how to manifest anything and everything in your life.
    Dr. Alvin Danenberg
    Dr. Alvin Danenberg joins us next to talk about gut health. He says the reason we get disease later in life because it manifests over time. It can be in your system for years before you see actual symptoms. He strongly recommends that we eat a healthy diet to keep our microbiome healthy. If not, we’ll get leaky gut, which weakens the immune system. We have to get rid of the irritants in our system to keep it running right throughout our lifetime. Dr. Al includes Enviromedica in his daily protocol, our One Life Radio sponsor!

    Terra Flora Deep Immune in his protocol, our sponsor! It stimulates interferon and helps prevent viral infections. Be sure to visit their website for all of their products.

  • #1294 Weird Cat Habits, 1-Minute Meditation


    It's Furry Friday! Maura Davies of the SPCA explains our cat's odd habits.  And, for the first time on One Life Radio, we welcome Mark Stephens from Australia. He brings over 50 years experience in meditation and hypnosis and he's walking us through a 1-minute meditation!
    Funny Cat Tricks
    Maura says it’s a compliment when cats rub up on your leg or lap. When cats expose their belly, they trust you. Be careful for the “bear trap”, though, when you touch their belly and they grab your hand with both feet and hands, claws and all!  Bernadette recommends using white vinegar to keep cats going in their litter box and not on furniture or clothes. When cats twitch their ears is a sign of anxiety. Pointed upright, they are fine, when ears are back, they are suffering from anxiety or agitated. Remember to spay and neuter your pet! Visit spca.org for info.
    Self-Hypnosis and a 1-Minute Meditation
    Mark Stephens is an Australian Health Retreat owner, the Author of Think Slim, Think Quit and creator of the MindFree app. Trained by traditional Japanese masters, Tibetan monks and Chinese Tai Chi teachers, Stephens is a meditation expert, hypnotherapist and Tai Chi instructor with 40 years of experience.

    Bernadette asks what his favorite mindful method is, and he says Tai Chi. According to Stephens, it's  like Kung-fu on valium,  really a moving meditation. Mark also is an expert in hypnotherapy. He says people have misconceptions about hypnotherapy because of tv shows and sideshows. When used for therapeutic reasons, hypnotherapy can help block out anxiety and stress while resetting the mind. It’s like reading a good book, daydreaming or driving somewhere and you don’t remember the trip. Today, too many people are stuck in trances of “I’m not good enough” or “I can’t stop smoking” or whatever. Hypnosis can change that for the positive.

    Listen to the full show to hear Mark walk us through a one-minute meditation. To get his app, visit mindfreeapp.com.

    Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Thank you to our listeners, guests and sponsors! We couldn't do the show without you. Be sure and check out our sponsor page for offers and sponsor discounts.

  • #1293, Robin Perry Braun, Von Eaglin

    Happy Thursday!
    Happy Thursday from everyone here at One Life Radio! It's psychology day! We sure are ready for the weekend! Bernadette talks about her crazy dog-filled house and the importance of having strong muscles while having so many animals. You never know when you need to be nimble, so here's the reminder you need to work out and keep yourself strong!
    Robin Perry Braun
    Robin talks about her new book, "Thrive." Robin wrote new new book after years in a marriage with sex addiction while she struggled with eating disorders. "Thrive" is a personal journey of finding answers for herself turned into a book to help everyone. Bernadette asks if sex additions are harder to overcome than other addictions like alcohol. Food and Sex addictions are different than alcohol and drug addictions. Food and Sex addictions are more complex because they are not black and white and not simply a substance. Bernadette says that alcohol seems the hardest addiction to overcome because it is everywhere.

    Robin believes in quantum energy, so energy comes from everything. Robin says that using this, she can be with her thoughts all day and work on herself. Bernadette asks if you have to be Christian to benefit from her book and learn from The Law Of Attraction. Robin urges non-Christians to open their minds and that there are benefits for gnostic and agnostic people alike.

    Collective consciousness is about getting a large enough number of people to focus on one thing, we can manifest our wants. Without getting into the sciences behind it, Robin explains quantum physics.
    Von Eaglin and Cheating
    Von Eaglin is here and is doing great as a new dad! Bernadette asks the penultimate question, why do people cheat? Cheating is a violation of trust. Cheating is sexual or emotional intimacy outside of the relationship with two partners. There is some subjectivity to this, but Von draws the line in the dirt saying that cheating is violating trust. Women are actually cheating more than men nowadays. With social media more accessible, this is one of the driving factors in that violation of trust. Our identity is challenged when people cheat. When people get betrayed, PTSD is even a possibility.

    There are a few kinds of cheating. Opportunistic cheating means cheating because the opportunity presents itself. The obligatory cheater tries to refuse the sexual advances from someone, but will sometimes go ahead and cheat because they feel an expectation.  Romantic cheating is when someone cheats because they feel swept up in romantic antics and actions. There is a difference between just a cheater, and a compulsive cheater. Gaslighting makes you question your own reality. Click here to read more about gaslighting and when to point it out.

    Bernadette asks if sex addiction and cheating are related. Is sex addiction an excuse for cheating? Von Eaglin says NO! Sex addiction is like every other addiction, and like drug and alcohol dependencies, we can relapse.

  • #1291, Shawn Wells, All About Sugar

    Crazy Tuesday!
    Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope everyone is staying dry on this wet one! Today we are grateful to have Shawn Wells with us for the full hour! Let's jump right in!
    Shawn Wells
    Shawn Wells, MPH, LDN, RD, CISSN, FISSN is an expert in the fields of performance nutrition, longevity, fitness and supplementation. He earned his master’s degree from UNC-Chapel Hill, where he studied nutritional biochemistry with a minor in exercise science. Shawn is a Registered Dietitian with a decade of experience as a Chief Clinical Dietitian in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. He is also a Certified Sports Nutritionist and has worked with celebrity clients and professional athletes.
    Sugar
    We as Americans consume 160 pounds of sugar annually! That’s a full human weight's worth of sugar! Sugar is marketed to children, young adults, and it lies in all kinds of food and drink. We are absolutely addicted to sugar! Physiologically we can go through withdrawals just like in heroin or alcohol. No fear though, addiction to sugar can be reversed! Use exercise as a way to earn a sugary treat. Make a connection between working out and satiating treats! By doing this, we create a positive new neural-pathway in our brain!

    Royal honey is one of Shawn’s favorite supplements. Royal honey is the honey that is only meant for the Queen Bee, because it contains a rich source of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are not always bad! Try and get your carbohydrates from supplements like royal honey instead of sugar rich carbs like white bread. There are studies that show when we consume a sweet beverage, people consume 300-500 calories more in their meal. That’s calories in addition to the calories in your drink! Sugar drives consumption. Added flavors are engineered to make us overeat. Instead of finishing the whole fancy “sweet heat” almond bag, have a handful of raw almonds. 

    Saccharine is the worst! For so long, Bernadette and many others were adding the little pink packet to our unsweetened tea and thinking we were okay! Monk fruit and stevia are the two best non sugar sweeteners on the market. The sweeteners ending in “OL” can hurt your gut microbiome and spike your blood sugar. Stick to monk fruit and stevia. Be aware that monk fruit and stevia is being so engineered that you are losing your basic compounds. The best bet is to simply find low sugar snacks, and to stay away from sweeteners as much as you can. 
    Thank You!
    A big thank you to our guest and expert formulator, Shawn Wells. Follow Shawn on instagram @ingredientologist and twitter @ingredientology. Find more about Shawn at his website.
