Happy Monday!

Everyone had a great holiday, but everyone here at Team One Life Radio is ready to get back to spreading positivity over the airwaves! We have a great show in store for you today! At the half we have Author Sharon St. John discussing her book, "Me, Myself, and Men." First up, we have Logan Shiels with our Monday beauty segment, so let's get started!

Logan Shiels

Logan Shiels is an Oklahoma girl that has planted her roots in Dallas. She has immersed herself in all things beauty and fashion. Logan is currently a specialist stylist at ERA salon, and is also the co-founder of Uncommon Man alongside her husband Kyle Shiels. She loves getting active, not only in fitness but in her community as well through philanthropy. No matter the day, she’s ready to hustle.

Gua-Sha, Body Brushing, Body Painting

Gua-sha or kerokan, is part of traditional Chinese medicine in which a tool is used to scrape people's skin in order to produce light petechiae. This helps with lymphatic drainage! Gua-sha is a natural, alternative therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. Use the massage tool to up the body towards the heart, and then back down the body. Dry brushing is also an effective way to invigorate your skin! To dry brush, you use a natural-bristle brush to gently but firmly brush your skin in long strokes toward your heart, usually going over each area two or three times. At your belly, you brush in a clockwise motion. Dry brushing is typically done before showering, and should be followed with a vitamin-rich moisturizer or your oil regiment!

Sharon St. John

Sharon St. John is the author of the memoir Me, Myself and Men, a memoir in which she explores her personal self-esteem struggles and how they have affected her relationships with men. She believes that low self-esteem is like being trapped in your own mental prison, and hopes her story can help others to recognize and work through their own self-esteem issues. She has a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from St. John’s University, and has worked for the Federal Bureau of Prisons for 20 years. 

Me, Myself, and Men

Sharon thinks that when people are born, comparisons immediately start. When you start comparing yourself to other people, that is the first mistake you can make. Sharon had a very rough upbringing, when her mother put her into foster care, and then tried to get her back after a long time. Abandonment can effect everyone differently, but for Sharon, she had to become comfortable with herself in order to get over her abandonment issues. While jogging, Sharon's mind ran through what she heard people ay about her, and she came to the conclusion to that she has to be okay with herself at the end of the day. You can not control the past, but you can control yourself and where you are in the moment.

Because Sharon didn't use to love herself, she found herself settling for anything. Toxic relationships made her stay in situations that she found herself in, all because she felt she wasn't good enough. When Sharon realized how amazing and special she was and is, she discovered that she deserved more!

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday from team OLR! We had a relaxing weekend! Renaldo and his furry feline friend enjoyed the treats that Castor & Pollux gave to team OLR! Bernadette is talking about PetCube! We love PetCube in the One Life Radio Family! To purchase and read more, click here! We love the "PetCube Bites 2." With that, we are so excited for resident Earth Mama Autumn Warren Connolly and Best Selling Author and Master of Originality, Jason Harris to be here today!

Autumn is also a self-taught vegan chef, a serial gardener and an avid believer in, and teacher of, the healing powers of meditation. Contact her at: [email protected]

Getting In Sync With Yourself

As an Earth Mama, Autumn epitomizes all that is from the earth. Getting in sync with the earth means to dissolve the boundaries and barriers with the other things that differentiate us from fawn and flora. That makes life confusing. We feel more connected with life when we are one with ourself, but with the earth too. Dove season is coming up and it breaks Bernadette's heart. Autumn says that the separation between us and animal life promotes our ego. Unfortunately, ego is not the way to find your happiness. Ego is diversion. Autumn and Bernadette feel sorry for the people that feel the need to kill doves, but at the same time, we have to be mindful of our own situations. We must let others find their own path, as hard as it may be.

Consciousness

The benefits of simply saying "om" are vibrational frequencies. One of the benefits of chanting the word "om," is that just chanting"om" is the same frequency that the earth and the trees gives off. "Om" or "Aum" is a sacred sound and a spiritual symbol in Indian religions. It signifies the essence of the ultimate reality, consciousness. When you start vibrating at the same frequencies as the things around you, it allows your life to have less roadblocks. This isn't just woo woo, science has backed this up. Being one with nature makes days to day decisions a little bit easier. It your mind is a mess, your body is a mess. It is all connected.

There are simply things that you can do to feel closet to the earth. Go barefoot more often! Autumn says being barefoot is almost like being stuck to the earth. Act like your walking on gum. Feel the energy of the earth pulling you down. Another one is to eat more root vegetables and vegetables in their natural and raw state. Leave some of the earths nutrients on your food, but still get the yuck off. Bernadette says to sun gaze! Sun-gazing is something that Autumn was into for awhile. Sun-gazing has even been studied by NASA! If you simply accept the beliefs that we are fueled by the sun, you can take advantage of the free medicine in the sky! To practice sun-gazing properly and safely, click here. Always be safe!

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.

Happy Hump Day!

Happy hump day to all of our listeners! Today we have a great show with two awesome guests. Frank Ridout, the founder of Frankly Good stops by to discuss entrepreneurship during COVID-19. Suzanne Ryan of Keto Karma is here to talk preventing weight gain from boredom and stress eating during COVID-19.

Frank Ridout of Frankly Good Cookies

Frank Ridout had an incredible sweet tooth that led him on a hunt to create the world's best chocolate chip cookie. To Frank's surprise, the plant based cookies and ingredients tasted the best, leading him to create "Frankly Good," a bakery offering all vegan cookies and treats in the North Texas Area. Frank wasn't always vegan, but rather he made the choice to go plant based on his love for animals and their well being. Frankly Good is GoTexas! Frank supports local businesses for his products and hires local, as well as supports small businesses himself! Craving the world's best chocolate chip cookie that just happens to be vegan? Check out Frank's website to get cookies shipped to your door nationwide!

Suzanne Ryan of Keto Karma

Suzanne Ryan had always struggled with weight. She tipped the scales at 300 lbs. and tried every diet imaginable. Ryan actually gave up at one point until she came across an online post about the Ketogenic Diet. It included a before and after pic of someone on the Keto diet, and something clicked. Suzanne started on her journey to health via the ketogenic diet.

Ryan knew that her diet changes weren't going to be enough. She has spent years working on self-esteem and acceptance. For many of us, the COVID crisis has brought on anxiety and stress eating. Suzanne reminds us not to be too hard on yourself. If you've be gaining weight during the COVID crisis, you’re not alone. Many people are emotional eaters. Since COVID, many of us have lost our routine, so it’s easy to turn to food for comfort. Ryan says to develop new routines. Facetime your friends, go on walks and try new recipes. Lastly, Suzanne says we all need to stick together and know we’re not alone during this crazy time. If you're worried about a couple of COVID pounds, don’t let it get you down. We're all going through the same thing. Do your best to get back on track and reach out for advice. Suzanne's books are amazing and full of advice and encouragement. Check them out on her amazon page.

Her new company created with her best friend, Defy Foods, is now on kickstarter.  You can pre-order their Keto cheddar crackers now. With the help of Ryan Lowery, they've created the first keto cracker of its kind with high-quality ingredients & 2g net carbs per serving.

Follow Suzanne for tips, recipes and more on Keto Karma on instagram.

It's FURRY FRIDAY and Memorial Day Weekend! We've got Maura Davies of the SPCA of North Texas discussing virtual pet adoption, Gabrielle Reyes, aka "One Great Vegan" on veganism heading mainstream, and Cody Myler gives us first-hand tales from gym reopenings in Texas as COVID-19 restrictions lift.

Virtual Pet Adoptions

Maura Davies is here on “Furry Friday”, sponsored by Ned CBD, telling us how to virtually adopt a pet. You can now go online to adopt your next furry friend. Davies says you'll find detailed histories of each pet along with videos, health and behavioral issues and more. They will also set up one-on-one meetings for pets with special needs. The SPCA takes all of the same precautions with virtual pet adoption as they do with on-location adoptions. So, if you’re looking for a new furry friend this Furry Friday, check out their website and virtually adopt! And, visit NED Full-Spectrum Hemp Oils for their full product line that can be used for you and your pet.

Is Plant-Based Eating Mainstream?

Next, we have the “One Great Vegan”, Gabrielle Reyes, discussing if plant-based eating is going mainstream. Reyes is in the middle of preparing vegan fried chicken when we talk. What's in this fantastic recipe, you ask? You'll have to listen to the interview to find out. (teaser, sorry) Reyes became vegan after a college tailgate of burgers, hot dogs and more - all wrapped in bacon. She woke up ill the next day and knew she needed a change. Reyes had heard of veganism, and decided to try it. She’s never looked back.

Reyes calls the COVID-19 epidemic “the end of meat”. Workers in factory farms are dying of the virus in record numbers and people are starting to take notice. Another reason veganism is going mainstream is the help from celebrities such as Beyonce and Billie Eilish. Oprah is launching a virtual wellness tour, including "Meatless Mondays". Reyes goes on to say that plant-based eating has everything we need, protein, vitamins, fats, etc. If you don’t follow a plant-based lifestyle, consider trying it for one day a week. We'd love to hear how it goes! Learn more about Gabrielle on her website onegreatvegan.com or on instagram @onegreatvegan.

Opening Gyms After Quarantine

Cody Myler talks about gyms reopening in Texas as restrictions are lifted. Myler owns NXT Rep Fitness, and he says it’s been a slow burn opening, but going well so far. We ask what's changed for gyms under the new rules. Myler lists a few examples, such as gloves are mandatory, but masks aren’t.  The showers and dressing rooms are off limits, but bathrooms are available.

For those heading back to the gym for the first time, he recommends bringing water, hand sanitizer, clean gloves and towels. Also, come dressed to work out and shower at home before and after your workout. Myler's tip for those coming back; take it easy on your first workout. He's seen more than a few push hard the first day and suffer consequences later. Just be prepared for some soreness afterwards. Check out Cody's gym, NXT Rep Fitness on facebook, or visit his One Life Radio Expert Guest page.

Thank You to our Military!

Thanks to everyone for listening! Remember that you can adopt a furry friend through virtual pet adoptions!

It's Memorial Day weekend, so we'll do a Best of on Monday.

The team at One Life Radio wants to express our gratitude for all of the service members who lost their lives in combat. We also extend our thoughts and prayers to their families and friends. We appreciate,

The topic of vaccine free living is becoming one of the most talked about topics in the community. This is completely understandable with all the new vaccine injury reports on the rise. With all these reports coming in, why are we still being told by the media and medical community that vaccine studies are "settled"?

On the show today we have Andreas Bachmair talking about vaccine free living. His journey with the study of vaccines started about 30 years ago after he was bit by a dog. While he was getting his bite checked out he insisted on getting the rabies shot as a safety precaution, resulting in him developing type 1 diabetes. This peaked Andreas interest to change his field of study from Business Administration to Homeopathy shortly after. He comes on the show today to share his experience and valuable information on vaccines and their effects on humans.

We also have Jackie Schlegel in studio with us today. Jackie is a very influential leader for the vaccine fight here in Texas. She is the creator of one of the largest vaccine activist groups, Texans for Vaccine Choice. Jackie joins us today to talk about all the new vaccine censorship that is now across most search engine platforms including all social media.

Today's Podcast After the Broadcast is a very personal one. Bernadette and Mo Brossette all talk about life and dating after going through a divorce. This hits close to home for Bernadette as she has been through this herself. When children are involved, it makes it a whole different ball game as well. Divorce rates are slowing among the millennial generation, but marriage rates are also slowing. People are staying single longer, which we will see late on whether or not that will help with the decline.

Either way, divorce is something that we all know way too well. This episode relates to anyone considering marriage or currently going through a divorce. Getting back out there and dating after a divorce can be very scary. Is it healthy to jump right back in? Should you just remain single since it didn't work the first time? How do you know if and when you are ready? These are all common questions that the answers probably vary from person to person. But the importance of this podcast is that being vulnerable and being open can be extremely helpful and therapeutic.

We offer off the air conversation with NO commercials, NO filtering, and NO censoring. If you enjoy this podcast, please share it!!

We are thrilled to talk with one of the preeminent voices of the vaccine risk awareness movement today on this episode of Podcast After the Broadcast, Del Bigtree. Bigtree is the producer of the film "VAXXED: From Cover up to Catastrophe", host of the highly popular internet talk show, The HighWire, and Emmy Award-winning producer of the daytime talk show, The Doctors.

Bigtree's mission is making sure vaccines have legitimate science behind them confirming that they are 100% safe. His multi-pronged approach incorporates legal, legislative, and media actions to expose the fraud, lies, and conflicts of interest that have allowed the pharmaceutical industry.

Bernadette and Del dive into the collusion between government agencies and the pharmaceutical industry, now the most powerful lobby in Washington. This relationship has led to a dramatic increase in vaccine injuries, estimated to be as high as 5.9 million cases per year in the US alone.

Get ready for a very candid, honest, and thought provoking interview with Del at the Texas state capitol in Austin during the Texans for Vaccine Choice Rally where both Bernadette and Del were chosen speakers. This is such a good podcast, Bernadette and Del hold nothing back and speak with full transparency.

On this special Podcast after the Broadcast, Kip Watson and the team talk candidly about sex and by relation, Irresistible movies streaming at Full Tube. WE dive deeper into the conversation we had on air, but without any rules or breaks. We break down some of the ways people think about sex and the stigmas around it. Casual sex, seen on websites like https://www.twinkpornvideos.xxx/, sex in relationships, and sex in marriage all look very different. Listen in to hear how differently we all see and think about sex and to hear some juicy, private roundtable talk.
