What Is Consciousness? Near-Death Experiences, Neuroscience, Frequency & Exploring What Lies Beyond the Brain | Masati

What exactly is consciousness, and is it something that exists beyond the physical brain?

In this episode of Psynautical, I sit down with Masati for a fascinating conversation exploring consciousness, near-death experiences, neuroscience, frequency, Xponential Intelligence, and our understanding of reality.

Masati has experienced multiple near-death experiences that he says profoundly changed his understanding of consciousness, human potential, time, space, and the nature of reality. His experiences eventually led him to develop what he calls Xponential Intelligence (XI), a framework centered around consciousness, frequencies, and human transformation.

We dive into what happened during his near-death experiences and how those experiences influenced the way he sees consciousness. We also explore the relationship between science and spirituality, including where concepts such as neuroscience, quantum physics, frequency, and what Masati describes as our personal “blueprint” intersect.

But rather than simply accepting extraordinary claims at face value, we also discuss the importance of questioning, skepticism, and trying to understand these experiences through different perspectives.

In this conversation, we explore:

• What consciousness actually is and whether it is limited to the brain

• Masati's multiple near-death experiences and how they changed his perspective

• What he experienced during those encounters with death

• The relationship between near-death experiences and expanded consciousness

• How neuroscience may help us understand consciousness and subjective experience

• Xponential Intelligence and the ideas behind it

• Frequency, energy, and Masati's concept of our personal blueprint

• The relationship between consciousness, time, and space

• Science, spirituality, and where the two may intersect

• How to remain curious and open-minded while still asking difficult questions

• Whether extraordinary experiences can teach us something about human potential

• Practical ways we can become more conscious and aware in our everyday lives

Whether you're interested in near-death experiences, consciousness, neuroscience, spirituality, or simply the deeper questions surrounding what it means to be human, this conversation offers plenty to think about.

In this episode of Psynautical, Jared Heldt sits down with Loren Lockman, a therapeutic fasting expert with more than 30 years of experience in natural health and water-only fasting.

Loren founded and directed the Tanglewood Wellness Center for 29 years, where he supervised more than 12,000 medically supervised water-only fasts, with an average duration of 26 days. Today, through Fast To Rise, he continues educating and coaching people around the world about therapeutic fasting, whole-food nutrition, metabolic health, digestion, natural healing, and sustainable lifestyle transformation.

We explore Loren’s philosophy that true health isn't always about adding more supplements, treatments, or interventions—but sometimes about removing what interferes with the body's natural ability to heal.

We talk about therapeutic water fasting, optimal human nutrition, metabolic and digestive health, detoxification, energy, mental clarity, longevity, and the deeper patterns that can keep people stuck despite knowing what they need to change.

What if getting back to better health starts with something as simple as giving your body the right nourishment?

On this episode of Psynautical, I’m joined by Cherie Calbom, MS, CN — The Juice Lady for a wide-ranging conversation about juicing, detoxification, whole-food nutrition, wellness, energy, resilience, and mindset.

Cherie is the CEO of Trinity Wellness Institute, a nutritionist, whole-foods chef, bestselling author of 36 books with more than 3.5 million copies sold, and a longtime authority on juicing and natural approaches to health.

Many people know Cherie as The Juice Lady, and in this conversation we get into why juicing can be such a powerful way to incorporate nutrient-dense foods into your routine, how nutrition can support the body's natural processes, and why getting back to simple, whole foods can make such a difference in how we feel.

We also talk about detox, cleansing, wellness, energy, nutrition, mindset, and creating a healthier foundation for the body. Cherie shares insights from decades of experience helping people understand the relationship between food, nourishment, and overall wellbeing.

Cherie was also George Foreman’s nutritionist and spokesperson for the George Foreman Grills, helping drive top small-electrics sales on QVC with the George Foreman Grill. She is known for her work with whole-food nutrition and fats and oils, including her bestselling book The Coconut Diet.

Her newest book, The Truth About Seed Oils, continues her work exploring nutrition and the modern food environment, although our conversation here focuses primarily on juicing, detox, whole-food nutrition, health, wellness, and mindset.

Whether you're already into juicing and natural health or you're simply looking for practical ways to improve your nutrition and take better care of yourself, this conversation has plenty to explore.

• The benefits and philosophy behind juicing

• How to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet

• Juicing versus whole-food nutrition

Addiction recovery is about much more than simply breaking a habit, it's about healing the whole person.

In this episode of the Psynautical Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Sarah Nasir, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and functional medicine physician, to discuss a holistic approach to addiction recovery.

We explore how nutrition, gut health, lifestyle, mental health, trauma, stress, inflammation, and other root causes can play a significant role in both addiction and long-term healing.

Rather than focusing only on symptom management, we discuss supporting the body and mind through functional and integrative medicine while creating the foundation for lasting recovery.

Whether you're personally in recovery, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in holistic health, this episode offers practical insights and a hopeful perspective.

• Holistic approaches to addiction recovery

• Functional medicine and root-cause healing

What does it take to transform adversity into purpose?

In this episode, I talk openly about my personal experience with burnout—something I haven’t really discussed on the podcast before.

Burnout can show up in a lot of different ways: mentally, emotionally, and physically. I break down what each of these has looked like for me, how they’ve overlapped, and how easy it can be to miss the early signs when you're constantly trying to keep up with life, work, and expectations.

I also get into what I’m currently learning about recovery—doing less, working smarter, setting better boundaries, and paying attention to my energy instead of just my time.

I share some of the tools I’ve been experimenting with, including nervous system support, lifestyle adjustments, and my personal experience with things like ashwagandha and stress management.

This isn’t a “how-to fix burnout” episode—it’s more of an honest reflection in progress. If you’ve ever felt drained, overwhelmed, or like you’re running on empty, you’re definitely not alone in it.

Thanks for listening and being part of Psynautical.

Spring Check-In: Where My Health Is At

In this episode of Psynautical, I’m taking a step back to reflect and share an honest update on where my health is at right now. With the shift into spring, this felt like the right time to check in—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

I talk about what’s been working, what hasn’t, and some of the challenges I’ve been navigating behind the scenes. This is a real, unfiltered look at my current health journey, including lifestyle shifts, mindset changes, and the process of recalibrating.

If you’re on your own path of healing, growth, or self-discovery, this episode is meant to feel like a grounded, relatable check-in rather than a polished end result.

New Year’s resolutions often fail because they’re rooted in pressure, guilt, and external expectations. In this episode, we take a different approach.

Instead of forcing change through rigid resolutions, we explore how to set intentions that align with your nervous system, values, and real-life capacity. This is about sustainable growth, not burnout direction over perfection, and consistency over intensity.

You’ll learn how to:

Reframe goal-setting without shame or all-or-nothing thinking

Set intentions that evolve with your life instead of controlling it

Create momentum through alignment rather than discipline alone

If traditional goal-setting has never worked for you, this episode offers a more human, grounded path forward.
