Ep 754: Benefits Of Hydrogen with Greg the Hydrogen Man
Welcome to the Sisterhood of Sweat. On today's episode of the Sisterhood of Sweat, I'm sitting down with Greg Hman, the "Hydrogen Man" who has an incredible story of health transformation that you won't want to miss. After years of battling devastating medical conditions that left him bedridden and in constant pain, Greg discovered the incredible potential of molecular hydrogen. Through relentless research and personal determination, he developed protocols that not only healed his own body but have since helped countless others overcome seemingly impossible health challenges. From heart conditions to brain injuries, Greg's journey is a powerful reminder of the human spirit's resilience and the potential of scientific discovery. We're going to dive deep into the world of hydrogen, explore its scientific foundations, and hear some truly inspiring stories of recovery that will challenge everything you thought you knew about healing. Get ready for an eye-opening conversation that might just change the way you think about health and wellness. Otter just now Here are the questions Linda asked Greg during the interview: Why are you called hman? Explain to us a little bit about your back story. Is molecular hydrogen? Is all hydrogen created equal? What do you feel like the hydrogen has done for you and for other people, like what type of conditions? What kind of machines do you use and what type are the best for people to to get? I've heard, you know, my mentor talked about doing baths, you know, and things like that, with this type of ingredient. Are there any downsides to using hydrogen that you know of? Are you still doing hydrogen today? Tell us, where can we find all of your research and things on hydrogen, and again the websites and the information for people, before we sign off here? Quotes: "I made a promise, I actually made a prayer at my lowest point, that if I could find a way that I would promise, that I would show it to others and help others." "Hydrogen is the purest substance known to man. It's incredibly pure. And the thing about it is it selectively does this antioxidant activity, but it also helps with like cell signaling." "I wanted the simplest protocols to overcome my health issues. I did not want a cupboard full of supplements. I didn't want to be taking 100 pills a day. I didn't want to be using 100 machines a day. I didn't want, you know, I couldn't live like that. Who wants to live like that?" "I'm not going to name names or names of products, but I will say that, in my personal opinion, well over 80% of the stuff out there in the alternative health world, in my opinion, is not good and maybe even potentially dangerous." "I believe that it'll help with depression. We know that it helps with energy. We know that it's anti aging. It's all the things that would make you feel better. You know, again, in my opinion, but I think it's going to transform the world of health, even agriculture." How you can stay in touch with Linda: "Proud Sponsors of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T"

There are six of my family members that work here. My wife works with me. My oldest son and daughter both both work with me. My wife's two daughters work with us.

Ep 740: The Grammy's and Late Late Night with Ben Winston
Welcome back to the Sisterhood of Sweat podcast, where we celebrate the power of women coming together to support and uplift one another. Today, we have a very special guest joining us - Ben Winston, the acclaimed producer behind the iconic Grammy Awards show. Now, you may be wondering, what does a male producer have to do with the Sisterhood of Sweat? Well, as you'll soon discover, Ben's story and insights are incredibly relevant to the women in our community. Ben has built an impressive career in the entertainment industry, but what sets him apart is his unwavering commitment to collaboration, kindness, and embracing change. In our conversation, he shares the valuable lessons he's learned about surrounding yourself with experts, continuously learning, and the transformative power of connection. His perspective on navigating the ups and downs of the industry, as well as his advice for aspiring professionals, are sure to resonate with the ambitious, driven women in our audience. Ben's humility and passion for his craft are truly inspiring, and we know his words will leave you feeling empowered and ready to take on new challenges. So get ready to be motivated, uplifted, and reminded of the importance of embracing your unique path. Let's dive in and hear from the one and only Ben Winston. What I asked: What do you find to be the most enjoyable part, your favorite part of putting this whole [Grammys] show together? What is the difference between the best record of the year and the best album of the year? Do you also pick gospel music? Is that part of this? This the awards as a genre? What do you find to be the most challenging part about getting this and putting this all together? What do you attribute your being this successful at such a young age? Did you dream of doing this when you were a kid? What do you think your secret was to getting these big jobs, you know, for people that are there right now that want to excel in their careers, what do you think was the secret to moving ahead in this industry? What were the things that you did differently, you think, than other late night shows? I was listening to an interview where you talked about when you were first getting your start, like that, you would work for free sometimes, and get coffee. You did whatever you had to do. And I think people are looking for opportunity, thinking it's going to drop like from manna from the sky. Speak to that a little bit? Quotes: "As soon as you start thinking of yourself as successful, then you probably aren't that successful because you're taking your way off the work." "I've always felt like I'm learning. I will learn something new this weekend at the Grammys." "The thing that made us different was having James Corden, who was unknown in America but hugely famous in the UK." "The decisions you make at 17 or 18 can change your life, usually years later." How you can stay in touch with Linda: "Proud Sponsors of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T"

After facing a life-threatening illness and a profound near-death experience, she embarked on a nine-year path to wholeness, integrating physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. But Hertha's journey didn't end there. She has since dedicated herself to helping others find their own way to healing and self-actualization through her equine-assisted retreats and coaching.

Prepare to be inspired, uplifted, and reminded that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of hope. Once upon a time, you were on death's door, and I'd love for you to tell that story. Tell me about some of the ladies on your retreat, what they've experienced and one of your greatest success stories? What do you think your out of body experience and you're meeting with God? How did that change your life for the better? How did they change you overall? How did you discover this therapy with the horses in the first place?
