Toxic Free with KB

An episode dedicated to Grief and a personal battle that can be flipped in to a positive light.

Yours truly - "KB" - shares a recent battle with low mood mumbo-jumbo... Grief. Grief can come in many forms, but typically it is classified as being one of L O S S .

This podcast gives light that "CHANGE" could be the absolutely BEST cure for grief or any depressive state. In my opinion, Monotony is the BEAST of Depression.

How do you improve this state?

Another big task I have taken on is the self experimentation and HOLLLLLAAAAAA - relief of mood boosting endorphins from going to US CRYOTHERAPY - a.k.a - the COLD CHAMBER!!! You have GOT to try this! My recommendation is to go multiple times to get the most benefits.

I hope you enjoy this topic and can relate.

What exactly happens when you get half naked and stand in a Cryotherapy (FREEZING) chamber for up to 3 minutes? The CEO of US Cryotherapy explains the whole process of this essential recovery practice - and why you should be doing it!

Without giving too much away, this is the basic process of C R Y O. I was a little (OKAY, a LOT!) nervous when I first tried it... Now I have subjected myself to doing it every single day.

A Step by Step Introduction to US Cryotherapy

What to Expect

Cold air therapy in the whole body chamber is a dry fresh, oxygenated air — due to the lack of moisture (humidity), and is not painful like an ice bath or immersion. During the treatment, your skin temperature will decrease between 30-45 degrees over 2.5 to 3.5 minutes inside the chamber. All first time customers start at 2.5 minutes. At US Cryotherapy, we record every treatment in our database. We measure skin temperatures before and after treatments (in the core region of the body) which allows us to make recommendations for your future treatment exposure times. Individuals, based on BMI and vascularity, respond differently to cold and skin temps vary. You will immediately warm after exiting the chamber, with full range of motion in your muscles and joints, unlike water or ice treatments, where the joints remain stiff for hours. Even if you don’t like being cold, this process will rejuvenate your body, skin and mind, and you will leave feeling warmer than when you arrived.

During your experience you will listen to music to pass the time and an attendant will be monitoring your every movement through a large glass window or door at the technician station outside the chamber. The chamber doors are incapable of locking, so if you feel uncomfortable, you can easily exit the chamber at any time. If you are intimidated about going alone, no worries, our friendly staff is always available to go in with you, and most often at our centers, there’s a member always willing to introduce a first time visitor as a companion inside the chamber.

Get ready to reduce your inflammation, balance your hormone levels, reduce Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms and increase your cellular turnover!

From Kentucky "Rubbermaid girl", to Hollywood girl boss and now, MOM boss - the story of Alyshia's creative success is one of exposing intelligent first impressions.

A born and raise Midwestern charmer, Alyshia Ochse ("ALL-ISH-AH OKE-SEE") noticed at a very young age that she simply did not fit the mold of the “typical” Kentucky girl. Her excitement and thrill for the theatrical lifestyle was her path, it was her calling. Post graduating college, she left Kentucky and followed her soul’s purpose to act in Los Angeles.

Little did she know that when she would arrive in the big city, her exposure to the limelight revealed much more than just on camera action - it revealed her "TRUTH". Her vulnerability shined bright through her "magical braces" which spread a little more light on the industry to open up some amazing doors for her career's transformation.

Expressing that, "EGO is the great killer of creativity", Alyshia has not let her mind takeover her ability to shine in the most authentic of ways. You may recognize her as "CeCe" from the romantic comedy, The Other Woman starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and Kate Upton, but Alyshia is also cultivating individual creative projects while committing as a hands on mother.

Alyshia shares her many "babies" in the works, currently and to come soon to the big screen!

OH OH OH and be sure to tune in to her spectacular and insightful podcast called: That One Audition

Is FREEZE DRYING still real food? The truth is revealed with Marcus Houtsma.

KOYAH founder, Marcus Houtsma shares his story of "WHY" he started his freeze-drying fruit and vegetable powders. It started with his father's health:

"After having a portion of his colon surgically removed and battling through chemo-therapy to eliminate the cancer, I suggested my dad try to improve his diet by eating more whole, plant-based foods.

Being somewhat entrepreneurial, I decided to put my 6 years of experience working in the food industry towards creating a product that could help him. Something that would remove the hassle from eating fruits and veggies, but still provide him with as much of their nutrition as possible. It also had to be organic and made completely from whole, plant-based foods with no fillers, sweeteners, or “flavors” of any kind. Oh, and they had to taste good, because my dad is a picky eater!"

So, want to hear the rest of the story? How's dad doing now? How are the products making a difference in lives all across the world?

The EARTH is like a gigantic battery that contains a natural, subtle electric charge—a special kind of energy present in the ground. EVERYTHING in the world is connected to this "stable" electrical charger, haven't you noticed this?

Yes, "things" are grounded, but people get much of the benefits "electrical" items do as well! When you are electrically grounded, you feel:

**

**

Hmmmmm. So, does this mean that common illnesses and pains could be cured from just simply connecting with the earth?! I believe so.

Some benefits for your grounding practices:

Decreased Levels of Inflammation and Pain

Reduced Stress Levels - The stress hormone, cortisol, begins to normalize -GOD THANK YOU!!! Cortisol is connected to your body’s stress response and helps control blood sugar levels, regulates metabolism, helps reduce inflammation, and assists with memory function - Truth, I have been struggling with regulating my levels of cortisol ... ahem, need earth now!

Improved Circulation - Oxygen and nutrients can better flow to fulling function your blood flow.

How to get more grounding in your life is simple. Start with adding in 30 minutes daily of walking barefoot out in grass, sand or soil. Switch out your rubber soled shoes with natural hides or leathers that allow the earths vibrational forces to rise above to your personal electrical currents.

If you want to get techie - which I feel personally we are all trying to move away from more tech - you can invest in "earthing" pads, mats, chairs, patches, you name it, it probably exists!!! ME, I prefer the old fashioned ... Mother Earth.

The true answers and insights on how to transition into parenthood gracefully with my natural born leader of a sister, Alison Watson. YES, this is our point of focus on this podcast post Mother's Day being yesterday - but really shouldn't every day be "Parent Appreciation Day"?

Ahem, Yes - Answer is Y E S !

Have you ever wondered how to be "READY" for such a dramatic shift in your life? From taking care of yourself, to almost running a small enterprise? And who is on your board of trustees to help you along the way in order to make grounding and adequate decisions?

Alison grew up in suburbia with many resources at her every reach. She wasn't one that took to babysitting as a young adult, but she was very much so interested in being a "friend", a guiding light for those younger than she. She never set aside the goal to be a mother, she let the universe gift her with this task... Alison shares her unique role of being a modern day parent - OF THREE ! ! ! - and how she went beyond the typical "trends" of how one should "birth".

Hint : Natural Home Births are her staple for bringing a peaceful child in to the world.

Alison shares how to create resourceful habits at home and on the road when typical resources may be scarce. She shares about her experience with breastfeeding and the health benefits to not only baby, but the prolonged health of mom. Alison shares how she balances physical fitness and self-care time, and the TRUE benefits one gets from these practices.

She shares how mom friends - or any community of friends - is huge in successful parenting. Finally, and most importantly, she shares that YOU are the mom that is purely enough for your child, YOU are the mom that was chosen to be in their life, and at the end of the day... all they really want is YOU and your time.

You may notice at the end of this interview, I stumble a bit upon my words... Honestly, I was in awe of my sister, I got a bit emotional... Thank you for joining us on this journey!

What does it take to be an Olympic athlete? Secrets revealed! But, it's not what you think...

Caroline Burckle, I'm still trying to catch my breath.

Caroline won two NCAA individual championships in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle event in 2008, and was named the 2008 NCAA Female Swimmer of the Year by winning two NCAA national championships and breaking the oldest-standing women's NCAA swimming record by swimming a 4:33.60 in the 500-yard freestyle! This was just one of her amazing highlights in college.

She soon framed her mindset on the bigger picture within her swimming career - the OLYMPICS!!!

At the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Omaha, Nebraska, Caroline placed fourth in the 200-meter freestyle, earning a place on the Olympic swim team for the 4×200-meter freestyle relay. She also placed fourth in the 400-meter freestyle and fifth in the 800-meter freestyle in Omaha per individual racing. WOW!!!

Off to the Beijing 2008 Olympics she would go and at the 2008 Olympic Games, Caroline earned a bronze medal swimming in the 4×200-meter freestyle relay. Caroline swam the lead-off leg in the preliminary heats in 1:57.86 - THAT's FAST!!! - and was selected to swim in the final. She swam the third leg of the final in 1:56.70 - THAT's FASTER!!!

She filled her life with Swimming + Training. Now that she has retired from that competitive sport - swimming athletically + for pleasure these days - she is leading athletes of this generation with mindful practices on how they too can go for any goal they are striving for!

Rise Athlete co-founder and NOW natural skincare creator, Caroline is NOT stopping at anything she pours her heart in to. You will absolutely LOVE this interview and we'd love for you to comment on anything you want to know more about!!!

What does everyone want in life?

How does one accept these gifts without first LOVING, VALIDATING and SEEING themselves as they truly are.

Going inward and recognizing your values is the key to self-discovering these gifts. How do you begin?

STOP! You must completely - S T O P . It’s worth it. When you STOP you can ask yourself, “What’s my BEST intention?” What ever that may be will transform your spirit and translate in to your vibrations. It will create your heart to live in a zone of peace. It will cultivate passion and compassion to yourself and toward others. It will allow you to witness forgiveness and patience as well as making these traits a part of your daily life.

Meditation.

The self reflection of your / one’s spirit of the body… it shows YOU / one what your calling is and that calling is timeless.

MRI scans show that after an eight-week course of mindfulness practice, the brain's “fight or flight” center, the amygdala, appears to shrink. This primal region of the brain, associated with fear and emotion, is involved in the initiation of the body's response to stress.

So, how did my practice come about? How is it going now that I have hit day 40? I share all of the vital truths HERE on the Podcast.

Tips for starting your own practice:

Remember, don’t base your success and happiness on other people’s opinions or expectations. Set goals for yourself — some big, some small — and decide for yourself whether or not you’re working to truly achieve them.

Through the practice of mediation and simply "stopping", you have all that you need to succeed.
