  • OPTIMIZING BREATHWORK FOR BURNOUT WITH IONA HOLLOWAY

    On this week's episode of the Genetic Genius Podcast, Iona Holloway discusses how to use breathwork in your daily life to breakthrough burnout by optimizing energy and resetting the nervous system for the most successful 2023.

    Iona is a best-selling author, coach, and speaker. At Brave Thing, She helps strong women do the inner work to find their blindspots so they can burn brighter and braver in their lives, work, and relationships.

    She struggled with an eating disorder, perfectionism, depression, and crushing self-criticism for 20 years. The cruel joke? Her struggle was invisible. She was so strong and competent everyone thought she was fine. Not just fine, perfect. Why would an All-American field hockey player with straight As who got recruited by Google out of college, who could squat nearly 300#, had abs that popped, was in a long term relationship, and slayed her career as a creative director have shit to cry about?

    She was so good at hiding in plain site she fooled herslef sometimes. But like all muscles, even the strongest wills break. And in her late 20s, She broke into what felt like a million pieces. When she was was scrambling around in the dark looking for help she was met by a wall of labels, diagnoses, -isms, "just do it" culture, and pastel pink wellness. Whatever kind of woman she was, she didn't seem to fit anywhere. But shs was determined to get her shit together. And after a lot of rough investments in some of the wrong (and some of the right!) teachers, she emerged from the pits of hell really liking herself, understanding that the unconscious mind and emotional body are where it's at for deep healing, transformation and change, and clutching a diamond of a life she was thrilled to live. Not bad for a former nihilist.

    In this weeks episode, we discuss the following topics:

    1. What is breathwork?

    2. How can breathwork be used to reset the nervous system and calm the mind?

    3. Let's talk about adrenal burnout. What happens to the body when we are living in burnout?

    4. How does breathwork help us prevent burnout and energize the body?

    5. How can we use breathwork as a way of manifesting for 2023?

    6. Tell us about your app, the "soul app" , what it is and how it works?

  • BIOHACKING THE BRAIN & TRIUMPHING TRAGEDY WITH JESSICA ALANA

    On this week's episode of the Genetic Genius Podcast, Jessica Alana discusses biohacking foundations for optimizing health and how to use biohacking tools to support the body in processing tragedy, grief and loss.

    Jessica Alana is a scientist passionate about bridging the gap between alternative medicine and data-backed science.

    ​In 2019, Jessica suffered an extremely traumatic event and lost faith in traditional medicine after witnessing a loved one drugged up and dumped from doctor to doctor. This, confounded by a deep knowing that the pharmaceutical industry thrives on us never finding the root cause of our ailments, sparked Jessica's journey into self-love, self-healing and self-help.

    Being confident in scientific research and clinical data, she decided to compile her own knowledge and become an expert biohacker.

    Since then, Jessica has been accredited by key thought leaders within the health and wellness space and is a frequent contributor to publications and a highly sought-after speaker. Jessica's deep learning of the body's anatomy, physiology and concepts of disease gives great depth to understanding her client's needs. Jessica aims to inspire people with her own healing journey and an open mind. Jessica is an avid believer in plant-based medicines such as psychedelics and wishes to help people understand that these compounds were given to us as a gift from Mother Nature.

    Jessica Alana's mission is to help those who, like herself, desire to live a life full of freedom, hope, fulfillment and connection. To educate and inspire, and to transmute pain into passion and love. To wake up every day and be grateful for the life you have created for yourself and to look back and know you have helped the lives of many.

    In this weeks episode, we discuss the following topics:

    1. What is biohacking?
    2. What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and how does it help with cellular rejuvenation and restoration?
    3. What does a typical HBOT session look like and what are the results you have seen with yourself and at the clinic, Wellness Lab?
    4. Why do you think that our current healthcare model has so little tools for dealing with tragedy and loss besides numbing the body and spirit?
    5. How does biohacking shift or change our brain patterns and neurotransmitter communication?
    6. How have you used biohacking techniques to process tragedy and trauma in your own life?
