We are all born with a purpose, but what does it FEEL like to live that purpose? Ordained Minister and Transformational Leader, Dr. Tammy Gailliard shares her incredible story of faith and frequency. She knew from childhood that something was different and that her "heartbeat has always been for the kingdom of God." She was able to "feel frequency and energy" from others and recognized this gift as the Lord's guidance.

A CRAZY chance encounter, early in her life, changed the trajectory of everything for Dr. Tammy! In this episode, she shares details about this encounter and how God brought her to a place where she said, "ok, I am ready, reveal your truth to me!"

Buckle up for an INCREDIBLE story that will have you thinking about your own faith journey and how one experience can truly change everything.

For years, no one could explain his pain and suffering. He experienced rashes, hives, lethargy, depression, swellings, allergies, and crippling back pain. No doctor could identify his mysterious disease, and some seemed to think he was crazy. Frustrated and losing hope, he almost agreed with them. That’s when he took his health into his own hands.

Through research and experimentation, Dr. Christopher J. Dorais found answers. He discovered several problems that stemmed from external and internal sources. It all boiled down to a simple, yet complex concept: detoxification.

From poisonous mercury that leeched into his bloodstream via tooth fillings to pathogenic bacteria and parasites, Dorais recognized the sources of his myriad symptoms. He found effective ways to detoxify his body, and his health slowly returned. Now, those years of discomfort are a distant memory, and Dorais is healthier than ever.

Detox Memoir chronicles his descent into physical misery, his frustrations with the medical establishment, his personal research, and his subsequent recovery. It’s a complete detox story for patients who struggle with similar problems or doctors who are flummoxed by medical mysteries. If patients inform themselves, and doctors think outside the box, no one will have to relive the same nightmare.

What your gut is telling your brain is a conversation worth paying attention to and the connection between the health of your microbiome and the vitality of your brain is undeniable. 

Dating back to over 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates said: “All Disease Begins in the Gut” and modern science continues to prove him right.

In this episode I read from my research paper on Gut Health/ Brain Health and we cover topics like birth control, antibiotics, processed foods, fiber, probiotics and more!

*This episode is not for little ears.

What does your wife mean when she says, "I'm Fine."

It means she’s overwhelmed, bro. It means that she does not have the capacity or the exact words to tell you the depths of her ocean of overwhelm. It means she wants to be OK. She is trying to be OK. But in order to be OK she has to process the weight and the gravity of what’s on her chest and she doesn’t have the wherewithal to tell you the about the universe and stars that are circling every cell in her body at the moment. 

This may sound dramatic, but as a woman I can tell you, it’s the truth. 

Listen to this episode for more insight into the MIND OF YOUR WIFE. ;)

"We might have broken the internet with this episode." That's what I told ⁠Rachelle Beazley⁠, Founder of ⁠Aloe and Alchemy⁠, after this interview. :)

This episode is filled to the brim with EVERYTHING that will make you smile and sit at the edge of your seat, wondering... what the heck is OBSESSION and The Body Love Immersion?

We chat about Aloe and Alchemy's upcoming retreats to BAMF, Idaho and other magical places. I attended one of Rachelle's retreats last September and it was indulgent and magnificent. HIGHLY recommend!

Other things we geek out about in this interview: cold plunging, MTHFR gene and Joe Rogan, scalar waves and DNA.

God doesn’t want us to forget.

He is a God of love and second chances.

We will turn away from him again and again. We will blame him again and again.

But He is there; an ever loving being of hope and perseverance.

A good example of this is what we just experienced in 2020 called The Great Pause. Most of us call it a Pandemic or Covid or when the world went bat shit crazy!! But if you look at the other perspective there was an incredible PAUSE that happened. Where rivers and oceans could heal. Where the man-made smog didn’t fill the sky and cars were not out polluting the ozone for months on end. In a time when the air was probably the cleanest it’s been in a century, we were forced to wear masks and isolate ourselves. BUT all the while, God was working in ways we cannot even imagine. Even in the devastation, God was there. He is always the silver lining. He is always the hope.

What if this is a second chance? A deutero - a do over. We were saying YES too often, and No not enough. We were building, spinning, creating more more more more, and we lost the point of it all. Love. Acceptance. Taking care of this ONE planet we all get to share?!
