Toxic Free with KB

Today’s guest is a good friend of mine. I’m proud to say that I can count on him when I have a question about most anything: Business, Interior Design, Relationships and just plain old - LIFE!

I’m excited to share our laughter and ‘male vs. female’ point of views and the bantering that comes along. I think it’s about time we all hear the TRUTH from the “OTHER SIDE” - I’m talking about the opposite sex…

You’ll learn what “BBD” means and how it may be effecting your relationships. You’ll learn what the difference between being “Lonely” and being “Alone” really is. You’ll learn that “Balance” is simply the most vital form of measurement when it comes to scaling your happiness. AND, you’ll learn - whether you were interested or not - the etiquette of doggy dating.

Alright, enough said, let’s hear it from the man himself, Mr. Sir Jeffrey. We’re diving in deep, let’s rock this!

AND, Schizandu is the proud sponsor of this episode! At Schizandu Organics they are committed to bringing you the highest quality WILDCRAFTED and ORGANIC products so that you can be confident that you are not only AVOIDING chemicals but also giving your body the NOURISHMENT it needs.

Dita Curgus, is the Founder of Schizandu Organics. She is on a mission to bring truly natural and exceptional products to people to help them cleanse, detoxify and nourish from the inside out and the outside in.

Born in Budapest, Hungary, to a home with no computers but all food “made from scratch” and put on the table from market-fresh or home-grown ingredients, she had participated in kitchen activities from very early on and started diving into books researching health-related topics at the age of 11.

Her insatiable interest in science, health and longevity, as well as airplanes, led her on a journey to study plants and their healing qualities, all things mechanical, flying, and even looking into the feasibility of putting fuel cells on the latest Boeing models.

While there was a time when she thought she would remain a pilot forever, after years of flying, she earned her Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering and her Master’s in Aerospace Engineering at UCLA while health-coaching in the evenings and on weekends. Even doing top secret work while an engineer for 5 years has left her with a feeling of void and she ended up getting a Health-Coaching Certificate to make her counseling official.

To be efficient in health-counseling she felt too limited to one-on-one sessions and smaller groups and she had a desire to reach a larger crowd to be able to help more people who suffered unnecessarily. Soon after leaving engineering altogether, in January 2016, she founded Schizandu Organics to make her dreams of helping more people and making a difference quicker a reality.

Today, she has reached 61,000+ customers across the globe and her products have been the choice of high-end health-food stores, restaurants all over the U.S. and beyond including Café Gratitude, Erewhon, L.A. Press, Menotti’s, Kippy’s Ice Cream, Rooted Juicery, Inscape Meditation Center, Wattle Café, Cathedral Coffee Shop, Bae Little Tokyo Ice Cream Shop, Narwhal’s Crafted Urban Ice, Hot 8 Yoga, Longevity Warehouse, The Shaman Shoppe , Coha Health Complimentary Medicine of Bermuda and many others.

A vulnerable episode that shows how the power of life and truth can allow you to unlock the simplicity of owning it!

This is how the POWER of POSSESSION - as in living a life of honesty and truth within your soul - can transform any goal / dream to reality.

I get emotional - I share a true story, something that hits close to home and reveals that "life can be short" , YOU can make the most of every single second.

I talk about change and why it feels like such a mystery at times. I share about the agonizing connection it can have on our hearts and breath. It can clench us SO tightly that often at times can prevent us to actually making a change due to fear of that unknown.

Now THAT'S spooky!

My simple advice:

Do one thing a day that scares you.

Make the CHOICE - count to ten and make it, don't over think it...

Guide your life. No one can live your life but YOU!

And when in doubt, listen to how releasing "control" to a higher power can have profound savior like qualities!

Sip on something that will ease your stresses and fear of change or lack of control...

This is a true story.

From cocaine addict to cacao expert!

Yes, an abusive childhood and extreme lack of self-esteem brought Khalil on the fast track to spiraling down to a dead beat lifestyle. He died. But then, he forgot to completely disappear. Now he is BACK and has created a high vibrational company with a larger message attached to it: "BE HERE NOW".

I have to admit something. I too feel at times as though I am struggling in this life. I know that I am completely and utterly very fortunate - but one cannot help feelings, am I right? Khalil's objective is to go beyond the task of simply "making smoothies" - He wants to create a space of health and hope.

"It was tough, but by the grace of God I am alive and happy now. I am grateful to be where I am and would not be in the position I am in had I not gone through all that pain. Strange paradox, but my reality nonetheless. That's why I chose the pink lotus as the symbol for SunLife Organics. From the mud and the darkness grows a beautiful flower. That's why I chose the name SunLife. Life in the Sun. It's not just a catchy name and logo, it's who we are."

A bit about Khalil's journey through this interview:

**"In 2003, I had reached the peak of suffering the high cost of low living. I was 33 years old, weighed 109 pounds and was living on the streets of Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles, addicted to heroin and cocaine. With nowhere to go but up, I decided to get sober. Although the future started looking brighter, I was still smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, eating junk food and drinking copious amounts of coffee and energy drinks. I always felt completely drained and devoid of energy. Depression was a constant.

I was soon introduced to juicing and superfoods by a friend of mine. The results were remarkable and instantaneous. I began to feel alive again— my anxiety quickly replaced by excitement and a renewed lust for life. I started getting more and more adventurous in my kitchen, trying to find a way to make all these amazing natural remedies more palatable, even crave-able, so they would be a part of my daily routine that I looked forward to.

So began my journey (some would say obsession) with finding and consuming the best products nature has to offer. I travelled extensively all over India, Indonesia and Central America, constantly asking questions, learning everything I could from gurus to surf bums, Ayurvedic doctors to street vendors. Here in the States, I explored what traditional Western medicine had to offer. I also went to longevity specialists, as well as a handful of so-called ‘healers’. In the end, I found that the truth was not much different than what most people’s grandmothers advised: ‘eat your fruits and veggies’. By eating a diet of organic whole foods— with the addition of some superfoods, regular exercise, a lot of love and compassion from friends and neighbors, and a daily practice of trying to do good deeds for others without getting caught— I found that I didn’t need a guru or ‘healer’ or Western medicine to recover.

In 2011, after joining forces with my business partner Hayley Gorcey, we opened the doors to the first SunLife Organics in Malibu, California with a simple mission: to love, heal and inspire. We wanted to share with our friends, neighbors and members of the community an opportunity to experience what I had— to provide access to true nourishment. We wanted a place where people could go for organic juices, organic smoothies, organic salads, organic everything really. But beyond that, we wanted a place where we could come together and re-connect as a community, away from our iPads, smartphones, and "social networks"; a place to elevate the human spirit and help us get back to basics. We wanted to hire kids from the local community and provide a fun, safe and sober environment for them to learn, grow and thrive.

Every day, we aim to provide the best example we can for operating a business with the well being of people and the planet in mind. SunLife Organics isn’t a juice bar. It’s an experience fueled by the simple but profound joy of human connection and an unrelenting commitment to quality. We hope to see you soon."

A short and sweet talk about how the POWER of SLEEP can directly influence the aging process, your hormones, and the rate at which you metabolize fat.

Did you know:

The results found that subjects who slept less than six hours a night over the course of this five years had a 32% gain in visceral fat, and this is compared to those who slept for more than six hours per night, and they had 13% increase on average.

This is more than twice as much visceral fat accumulation due to sleep deprivation. Alright?

Also, did you know that Aging + Sleep are directly correlated?

I'm talking telomeres? What are TELOMERES?! Telomeres are our greatest biological marker that inform us how long we're going to live. And this is located- these are like the endcaps at the end of all of our chromosomes.

And as we age, like it gets clipped off more and more and more until our- basically our chromosomes unravel, you know? Our DNA unravels, which doesn't sound good, but there was enzyme discovered that can add length back onto those telomeres and effectively in many senses stop- halt the aging process, if not reverse it in some senses, which is really, really crazy and just fascinating stuff.

But what we discovered is that sleep deprivation is quite possibly the biggest epigenetic trigger on your aging process. It's quite possibly- sleep deprivation is quite possibly the biggest thing that will shorten your telomeres and age you faster, alright?

Sleep is the trigger that regulates your cortisol levels!

One of the very first things we see clinically when people are sleep deprived is elevated cortisol levels.

cortisol is actually a really important and valuable hormone. This is why we produce it, this is why it's an option, but the problem arises when cortisol is produced in the wrong amount and at the wrong time.

Alright? For example, cortisol is needed in order for your thyroid hormone to work, right? And your thyroid is known as like the kind of governor of your entire metabolism in many ways. Alright?

It's the master regulator of your metabolism, this thyroid gland. And thyroid hormone cannot be mobilized and utilized properly without cortisol being present. So there's that, alright? Cortisol is not all bad.

The truth is here, and it’s time that you must face it. Why? Your health and longevity depends on it. Our entire world relies on your participation to improve it.

I’m talking about chemicals, toxins and harmful residue leaching and lurking onto your every existence.

We live in an age of convenience, consumerism, and immediate gratification.

May sound bountiful, correct? Not entirely.

The exponential changes happening in our society do have an effect: More toxins are invading our lives than ever before. The best way to prevent harm from toxins is to avoid them.

The only way to avoid them is to become well informed with the cold hard facts. This is why I have the brilliant and knowledgeable Janet Newman, author of Living in the Chemical Age as my guest on the Just Bein’ Honest Podcast.

Living in the Chemical Age is an eye-opening book at how we can live less polluted lives. It identifies contaminants in our food, water, personal care products, environment, pharmaceuticals, and even nature.

It explains the physical effects these chemicals can have; and explores everyday ways to avoid them.

Follow along, and please take notes. This episode of the JBH Podcast could very well be the one that saves your life.
