Have you ever considered how much habits play a part in your day to day successes or failures? Many of us live most of our lives on autopilot, without ever actually taking a pause to examine our positive and negative personality traits, and how they manifest as the habits that shape our destiny in life.Our guest Gretchen Rubin takes us on an inner journey of self-discovery where you'll learn how to discover your best personality traits, and how to build habits to support them.In this episode she outlines different personality types, the four human tendencies and which one best describes you.

You'll also learn how to use habits to make changes naturally without engaging willpower or self-control, which often lead to exhaustion and failure.

Have you ever noticed that most of the time when you present an illness or physical issue to a traditional medical doctor that their first go-to solution to your problem includes either drugs, surgery, or both? Have you ever had a doctor look into the underlying root causes of your ailment in a meaningful way? Chances are better than even that during a typical appointment with your family doc they take about 10-15 minutes to ask what your symptoms are, then prescribe a pharmaceutical to alleviate the symptom, or refer you to a specialist that offers the same type of advice. Unfortunately, the solution offered by either rarely has much of an impact, and if it does, it tends to be short-lived because the cause of the symptom has not been identified and remedied.In this episode, we take a look at our current broken, and antiquated medical system, and discover a world of exciting new possibilities in the industry of Functional Medicine. Be prepared to learn the insider secrets of the healthcare industry, as told

Have you ever achieved a huge goal, or fulfilled a lifelong dream, and still felt that something was missing from your life? In those moments, did you consider what it would be like to just bail on your current life, and start a new one from scratch? To most of us, thoughts like that begin and end in fantasy. Those bold moves rarely come to fruition- except in the case of this show’s guest.   In this episode, we explore the spiritual-turned-entrepreneurial journey of Sun Potion's founder Scott Linde.   Scott moved to LA with big dreams of success in the material world, only to discover that outer success didn't ultimately deliver on the expected promise of inner fulfillment.    After surviving a serious auto accident, Scott decided to sell or give away all of his possessions and went on to spend five years living in the country as a minimalist. It was during this time that fate would expose him to the power of medicinal plants and herbs. While studying and practicing various forms of perso

Do you like chocolate? You might not be human if the answer is ‘no.' But perhaps you avoid it because you consider it a ‘candy’ and therefore not good for you. What if legit, high-quality chocolate could be a central part of a truly healthy diet? It turns out that it's not chocolate itself that commonly turns  this tasty treat into a junk food, but rather the process by which it is usually commercially grown and manufactured, as well as the inferior ingredients used to create most chocolate products on the market.This week’s show guest is Sage Dammers, one of the world’s foremost creators of high-quality chocolate products. We not only discuss the incredible health benefits of this delicious superherb, and how he developed an excruciatingly stringent method of production, but also the power of the Three Treasures herbal system, and why he chose to infuse his chocolate products with the most potent Chinese herbs.In addition to enlightening our listeners to the inside scoop of the amazing health benefits o

Do you exercise? If so, have you ever considered the fact that your distant ancestors probably didn't? Natural-living human beings of the past didn't need to 'exercise,' because their day to day lifestyle likely included enough natural movement to keep them fit and healthy. They also managed to avoid so many of the chronic health problems and dysfunctional physical limitations that we now face as a civilization. As we have devolved into our current sedentary lifestyle, most of us have worked hard to eliminate and outsource as much movement as possible. Meaning, we have come to the point that our normal bodily movement is so limited that we have to take breaks from our daily routine to squeeze in an allotted time to move around. And this moving around is what we now call exercise. But what if there was a way to build habits of functional movement into our regular activities, without having to make a special appointment at a gym, or with a trainer? In this episode with natural movement pioneer and aut

If you've been into health food, or have tried to limit your sugar consumption, or go ‘paleo’, chances are better than even that you've tried stevia as a sweetener. It's also likely that you didn't dig it. In this episode, you'll learn why. Spoiler alert: It's not because stevia tastes bad. It has a lot more to do with the dirty little secrets of the industry, and the corner cutting in the production process that takes place to maximize profits. If you've never heard of stevia, yet care about your health or weight, this episode carries immense value for you. Stevia is the healthiest sweetener on the planet. But only if it's properly manufactured. In addition to cracking the code on this miracle sweetener, we also myth bust tons of other health industry trends. Our guest Raffi will have you re-thinking many of the false assumptions we are lead to believe in the health and wellness scene such as: Why you should never shower without a water filter, and

Take a moment to ponder this question: Do you know everything you need to know about sex? Have you figured out how to have a healthy and fulfilling sex life? If you're like 99.9% of the population, you've probably found this part of the human experience to be one of the most perplexing aspects of life.Why are we so often powerfully attracted to the exact wrong person? Are there varied forms of chemistry between people? Can you control chemistry? Why does orgasm seem to cause a 'hangover' reaction in men? What's the deal with porn? Is it healthy, or will it undermine our relationships? Is monogamy natural for humans, and if so- is it even possible long-term? Can women learn to have casual sex without falling in love? And what about men? Are they immune to pair bonding with sexual partners?If you've pondered any of these questions, you've stumbled on the right podcast. In this episode, we explore the topic of sex from the perspective of spiritual practice and personal development. Our guest John Gray provides a

Welcome to the new age of ancient wisdom. We in the west are currently smack dab in the middle of a collective spiritual awakening. Or as our esteemed guest, Guru Jagat affectionately calls it in this episode- the new new age. Whatever you call it, it’s clear that there is a hopeful surge of interest in the area of personal development via spiritual practices. People young and old find themselves looking to the spiritual teachers and traditions of the past to help make sense of the present, and to light a path to a future that carries meaning, and hope. Yoga seems to be everywhere. And it's not just in the crunchy, granola capitals like LA and San Francisco anymore. It’s hit middle America like a waft of curry carried by the winds of change. You might even catch a juiced-up meathead in a yoga class at the gym these days for reasons other than the fact that that’s where you’ll likely find the highest concentration of Lulu Lemon-clad booties doing downward dogs.

Have you noticed that grass-fed beef and bone broth are the hot new ‘superfoods’ in on the health and wellness scene? It seems like every food blogger is jumping on the broth bandwagon lately, which is a positive sign, and a vast improvement over many of the ‘new’ food trends that later turned out to be founded on bogus science (AKA ‘fat is bad for you’). Has it ever occurred to you, however, that these animal foods are not new in any way whatsoever?Before the advent of modern agriculture, industrial and factory farming, all cows ate grass. That’s what cows are designed to eat, and before greedy humans figured out how to maximize profits by feeding them an unnatural diet of corn and soy, that’s all cows ever ate.So what about this new craze called ‘bone broth’? Well, it turns out that human beings have been boiling the bones of animals to extract the vital nutrients inside since people discovered fire and pots. Long before these life-supporting animal foods became trendy, they were both staples of the hunter-

What type of dentistry does your dentist practice? If your answer is "um... tooth dentistry?", you need to listen to this episode. The old 'drill 'em and and bill 'em' paradigm is dead. Since so much of your general physical health starts in your mouth, it's crucial that you find a dentist who uses a holistic approach, and that you educate yourself on the latest developments in the industry. Outdated dentistry can be catastrophic to your health, and a bad dentist isn't going to warn you of that fact. He or she is just going to start drilling... and filling.But choosing a dentist is not like finding a great auto mechanic. Unlike your vehicle of choice, your teeth are alive. They're not bones or pieces of rock stuck in your jaw. They're an organ and should be treated as such. A qualified biological dentist understands this, and treats your teeth and mouth as a part of your body’s whole energetic system. While many of the dangers of outdated dental practices have become more widely known, the vast majority

Are you into health and wellness? Have you ever considered the possibility of turning your passion for living a green and organic lifestyle into a brand and business? Our guest Shiva Rose has not only accomplished just that but has done it in a beautifully authentic way.As a leader and trailblazer in the health and wellness movement, Shiva represents a new breed of influencers. A modern-day renaissance woman. Using her personal health challenges as motivation, she began to explore natural foods, beauty products, and holistic lifestyle practices, until she eventually started to document and share her discoveries on what has become her wildly successful blog The Local Rose. As her following and passion grew, she saw a market gap in the area of beauty and skin. A new breed of Bohemian entrepreneur was born, in the form of her very product line, which bears her name, and her obsession with purity, quality, and style.In this intimate and thoughtful conversation, we not only learn exactly how and why Shiva turned h

Have you ever thought about what it takes to live a high-performance life? When you create that vision in your mind, does it include a lot of potentially negative habits like alcohol consumption? Probably not. But if you're not a legitimate, card-carrying alcoholic, why would you ever consider quitting? And even if you did want to upgrade your productivity and quality of life by giving up booze, how could you? There's that pesky social pressure, and general boredom to contend with after all, right? Well, our guest James has created not only a fool-proof system by which the 'social drinker' can put the plug in the jug, but he's also assembled a sizeable online tribe of like-minded 'quitters' that offer moral support and inspiration to each other through his 30Day No Alcohol Challenge.When it comes to being a boss, and performing at your highest potential, three things top the list of essential lifestyle habits:1. Diet2. Sleep3. ExerciseDid you know that one of the worst side-effects of regular alcohol consumpt

How do you think about sleep? Your favorite part of life? A necessary evil? A waste of precious time? Is it easy for you, or do you find it difficult? Or perhaps you haven't thought about it at all? Maybe it’s just an activity that’s part of your everyday routine, and it holds little value or meaning to you. If the latter be the case, keep on reading. As a matter of fact, keep on reading no matter what the case is. Your body, and more importantly your brain, need high-quality sleep to function optimally. If you follow medical, or health & wellness trends at all, you might have noticed that the topic of sleep is getting a lot of attention over the past couple years. This is not only by design but also by necessity. We’re quickly learning that as our species is faced with more and more environmental, and social stressors that our need for sleep is becoming increasingly paramount. The quality and quantity of your sleep is perhaps the single most important element of a healthy lifestyle practice, along w
