Nearly a co-host by now, one of my best pals and definitely a fan favorite, Boyd Varty, joins us for his 4th time on the show! If you aren't familiar yet, Boyd is co-owner of Londolozi Game Reserve where he grew up amongst the wilderness and leads a life that implements and demonstrates the wisdom of the natural world.

Today we talk Story—how they make or break us, how to witness ourself in one, how to alchemize thoughts, patterns and behaviors based on being witness to ourself. Boyd leads us through a live version of him sitting with his egoic mind, allowing as many thoughts to rise to the surface, what they feel like and eventually re-patterning and re-enforcing a more supportive way of being.

Boyd and I dive into...

⟶ Befriending and witnessing the egoic mind

⟶ The essence and journey of a transformational process

⟶ The art of spiraling and melting down to allow for a new consciousness to birth

⟶ The father archetypal energy at its best

⟶ Tracking and mapping the ways that we upper limit ourself

⟶ And more!

Dr. Ted Achacoso finished college at 18 and Medical School at 2—if that doesn't catch your attention, I don't know what will. He was a professor of Medical Informatics at George Washington University at 28, and at 45 he retrained in Interventional Endocrinology and Nutritional Medicine. 

Dr. Ted pioneered HOMe (Health Optimization Medicine), operating through the lens of evolutionary medicine—shifting from the typical preventative medicine to optimizing health by detecting and correcting subtle deficiencies and toxicities that prevent one from performing at their best. 

He stands by the belief that signs and symptoms are the body’s way of balancing and healing itself; so at what point do we need to resist interfering with the body's intelligence when it comes to healing, and focus on creating an empowering environment for it to do so?

Dr. Ted and I dive into…

⟶ Assessing the root causes of health, not root causes of disease.

⟶ The hype with Troscriptions' Methylene Blue and why you may benefit from it.

⟶ Dr. Ted’s 7 Pillars of Health.

⟶ The importance of vitamin D primarily through sun exposure.

⟶ Health being A (absence of disease) + B (balance) + C (the cycle of life to organism).

⟶ And more!
