Does your back hurt? Has it ever? Have you considered taking drugs, or even being cut open in a somewhat experimental surgical procedure? Most of us have had some personal experience with back pain, and have sought out a temporary, if not a permanent solution to this sometimes debilitating condition. The trouble is that with drugs and surgery, there is often lingering pain, side-effects, or other issues brought about or triggered by the original condition. You might be one of the unfortunate victims of pain medication addiction or even a botched series of surgeries.In this episode, we get down to the root cause of back pain, spinal injuries, and even related neurological conditions like Fibromyalgia. Our guest Dr. John Bergman is one of the world's leading chiropractors and has helped thousands of patients from all over the world recover from a seemingly endless array of medical conditions using chiropractic care and other natural treatments.Dr. Bergman is not only extremely passionate about helping people to

From his days as a pickup artist in his book The Game to his recent awakening to the merits of true love, kids, and marriage in The Truth, Neil has committed himself to the study and practice of relationships with a tenacity few others have.In this episode, you'll learn the secrets to identifying dysfunctional relationships, codependency, sex addiction, and every other form of romantic pathology, and how to avoid them.Whether you're happily married, single, or on the hunt for romance, this episode will no doubt prove to be a powerful catalyst of truth and self-realization, as Neil and I take a very real and raw analysis of ourselves for the benefit of the audience, and anyone they might love.May you find peace, companionship, a

Are you ready for the reefer revolution? Well, regardless of whether you are or not, weed is here, and it's not going away anytime soon. Its use is quickly becoming legalized all over the country, and its acceptance as a legitimate medicine shows no signs of slowing down.Humans have been using marijuana for as far back as history takes us in countless cultures the world over. Despite this plant's incredibly diverse range of applications, it has been widely demonized by Western culture for the better part of the past century.Thanks to advances in science, and the growing popularity of alternative, natural medicine, this formally mysterious plant is finally getting the respect it deserves- beyond its prior reputation as a gateway party drug for stoners.In this episode, we learn all about the current cannabis culture by one of the nation's leading producers of medical-grade edibles and extracts - Brian Chaplin, founder of Medicine Box. Brian's 'Soil to Oil' philosophy is taking the industry by storm, by creating

Have you ever wondered how to find a balance between being an entrepreneurial beast, making tons of cash, while still making a difference in the world and keeping grounded spiritually? Is it possible to achieve a high level of material success and public notoriety, yet remain faithful to your spiritual values and principles? Not many people manage to reach for the stars while keeping their feet on the ground, but we managed to find a very special guest who seems to have figured out how to walk this tightrope of high performance, yet keep his heart and soul very much intact along the way.In this episode, we sit down with 'the godfather of hip-hop' himself, Russell Simmons, and learn how he's used yoga and meditation to not only build an empire but also to teach thousands of people around the world about the value of the yogic lifestyle through is many books and philanthropic ventures.You'll learn the history of Russell's spiritual journey, the most powerful practices he's discovered along the way, and what mot

Have you attempted marriage and failed? Are you so afraid that it won't work out, that you avoid it? Or perhaps you're in a marriage right now and are finding it difficult to keep it together, or you're one of the lucky few couples who are married and loving it. No matter what your status or position on this aspect of human life, it's safe to say that at some point each of us has faced issues in this area and if we have not, we no doubt will at some point.In this episode, author Jo Piazza shares the extraordinary story of how she met her husband, then three months later married him, and spent their first year together traveling the world over, studying happily married couples to find out exactly what they did to stay that way. Not only were the circumstances of her marriage unique, but also the way she and her husband have approached the entire experience as a couple. Their formula was this: Work on strengthening the relationship before it goes south, rather than teetering along until it starts falling apart,

If you've heard of 'Paleo' you probably fit into one of three categories: You're living it, and loving itYou've heard of it, but don't fully get what it means other than eating like a cavemanYou're sick of people talking about it, whether you know what it means or notIn this interview with Dr. Jack Wolfson 'The Paleo Cardiologist,' you will learn everything there is to know about not only the Paleo diet but also the lifestyle and how it pertains to your health.The unique thing about Dr. Wolfson's take on the topic is that he's a real-deal cardiologist, who bailed on the traditional, Western Medicine approach to cardiac care and is now a full-time proponent of using diet and lifestyle to prevent and treat disease. He's a huge myth buster and does an excellent job of exposing many commonly held, yet erroneous beliefs about health and diet. (Vegans beware)Enjoy this compelling overview of all things Paleo, and as you do, please do us all a favor and pass it along to a friend who could use some getting back to th

This episode is a tribute to our guest, the late Psalm Isadora, who tragically took her own life March 26th, 2017, a mere 45 days after the date of this recording.Psalm was a teacher, author, and speaker who taught sexual healing through workshops, videos, documentaries, and training.This show, as well as the majority of her life's work, was based on recovering from trauma and shame through the exploration and expression of our sexuality.During the interview she spoke candidly about her own childhood sexual abuse, and her lifelong struggles with depression, as well as with drugs and alcohol. These are issues with which I have had so much personal experience, that this discussion has had a lasting impact on me since the time of the recording.Looking back now, just over a month after her passing it's more clear to me now than ever how important it is for us as a culture to embrace and openly discuss our common issues with shame and sexuality, and to support one another in overcoming the sense of isolation that

Did you know there is an entirely natural way to 'get high on your own supply', without any side-effects? Imagine yourself losing all sense of your physical body, and being totally alone in a completely silent, pitch black, sealed room, floating in a zero gravity environment, while allowing your consciousness the freedom to roam the matrix of reality without the confines of your five senses.Sounds a bit like an LSD trip doesn't it? Well, believe it or not, this trip requires only water, salt, and darkness. I call it 'sober psychedelics.' Others call it a float tank, or sensory deprivation chamber. It's a practice and technology that's been around since the 1960's, and until recently existed on the fringe of underground counter-culture, known and used only by people interested in expanding their awareness and exploring the nature of human consciousness.Thanks to pioneers like our guest expert Crash Hoefler, floating has been having a huge resurgence in the past few years, and float centers have been popping up

Do you believe in medical miracles? What if you could grow a new tooth where one was missing, or get an ear replaced if you happened to lose one? Perhaps that sounds a bit far-fetched, but thanks to modern advances in stem cell therapy, these miracles and more are becoming increasingly common. In this episode, we take a highly focused exploration into the field of stem cell treatment and discover a brave new world of untapped possibilities. Although this practice has been applied around the world for some time, it is still relatively new to the United States. Due to its effectiveness and safety, this healing modality is growing in popularity with lightning speed. Our guest Dr. Mark Youssef is one of the leading experts in the world on this cutting edge technology and shares all of the current industry insider secrets with our listeners. If you or someone you know is suffering from an illness or disease that has been deemed ‘incurable’ by the mainstream medical establishment, this is an episode you don't want

Have you ever considered that the way most of us humans exercise or at least try to stay in shape usually has nothing to do with how we have evolved to move? Think about a rowing machine or a barbell. When is the last time you saw a gorilla jetting up a river in a canoe or lifting a 25lb log up and down for 12 reps? The human body is designed to move in nature, using its environment as a ‘gym.’ That environment might be a forest, or in the case of today’s guest- the concrete jungle of a city.In this episode, we learn all about moving your body like the human ape that you are, from one of the most popular natural movement experts in the world - Travis Brewer. Travis has combined elements of Acroyoga, Parkour, functional movement training, animal-based movements, and calisthenics, to create a system called ‘ninja flow.' This fitness system requires very few tools and certainly does not require membership to a gym, with it’s inherent forced exposure to bad LED lighting, irritating music, and the toxic fumes of r

Did you know that nature has created plants and fungi to solve just about every problem we humans encounter? From sex to sleep, mother earth has provided us herbs and mushrooms that can be used to optimize every aspect of our human experience and performance.

Are you a powerful, vibrant, wild human? Or have you been systematically domesticated in the same way the mighty wolf has been reduced to the fragile and helpless Chihuahua?Most of us are blissfully unaware that before the agricultural revolution that took place roughly 10,000 years ago, humankind lived in harmony with the earth, and as a result experienced life as a much happier, and healthier species.In this episode, our guest Daniel Vitalis takes us on a journey back in time to discover how we have been led astray by the false hope of the benefits of 'modern life.' You will be shocked to find the many ways in which our current lifestyle is indeed inferior to the lives of most hunter/gatherer people of the past, and even as compared so the small indigenous population currently in existence.Our domestication was perpetuated on purpose and has shaped our current health, bodies, spirituality, and even our sex.Daniel not only exposes this alternative version of human history but also offers some very practical
