And if who we're mimicking and following is not embodied, then we're going to stay stuck in a vicious cycle." — Preston Smiles "The body is a living library that stores everything we've ever been through. Over time, if we do not address the stored paid, the body starts to become dense and the fluidity of the system hardens. If we don't have healthy, intentional, proactive practices, the body will turn on itself and begin to create cancer cells because it is not flowing like it should be." — Preston Smiles "Get your questions answered and your answers questioned.

You get freedom." — Preston Smiles Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Preston Smiles Add a photo + bio

Why peptides and stem cells are going to help us live longer. Power Quotes From The Show Big Pharma Wants You Sick! "There's incentive to keep people sick because Big Pharmaceutical will profit off of it, and then they'll prescribe the medications and the medications to combat the side effects of their own medications. It's a vicious cycle that's very hard to escape." - Nathan Graville Peptides + MSCs "Peptides and MSCs are the future of longevity. These are two therapeutics that will get us to living into our hundreds. When you do a MSC IV, it's going to find out where in your body you need healing and it's going to go to those areas on its own. This is potentially the most powerful therapeutic that we know about in existence as it relates to longevity." - Nathan Graville Feeling Healthy Doesn't Equal Being Healthy "There's no way to know if you're healthy based on just how you feel. You can have elevated markers that are directly correlated to all-cause mortality. Which is why looking underneath the hood is so crucially important. The only way to know is by doing a routine blood work." - Nathan Graville Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Nathan Graville Nathan Graville is a tech founder with a passion for designing beautiful products that deliver meaningful value.

We think that the wounded, victim, angry self is who we are because that part is in the driver's seat, and we're identified with that feeling. When we do the neuro-rewiring work, we separate that enmeshment. And because of that separation, we can now recognize the patterns and awareness instead of being in it so much that we can't see." - Mike Zeller 🍄 A fully legal psychedelic microdose? YES!

It's something that's unprocessed. That protector part is wrecking havoc and we're losing energy. We want those parts in harmony. So we have to gently invite that part back into our psyche, make sure that part feels safe even when he or she has a little bit of a flare up, then approach again with gentleness. So then the flare up becomes less and less." - Mike Zeller Relationship Will Trigger Your Wounds "Our core wounds are often going to be activated in a very precise and needed way from our partner. That means that my wife's core wounds and my core wounds are perfectly in friction. So if I left, then I would have cowarded out on dealing with my core stuff." - Mike Zeller What Is The Driving Force of High-Achieving Men? "High-achieving men are high-achieving because they want love and they're clamoring for love. They think their pathway to get there is to excel and be perfect. They’re working hard so that their partners will love them, even though their partners already do love them. They don't have to do all those things. Instead, they can achieve from the state of 'I'm already loved and I'm already worthy and I just want to offer my gifts to the world.'" - Mike Zeller Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Mike Zeller is the only Neuro-Rewiring Expert in the US.

Marc Gafni | Why Soulmate Relationships Don't Work: The Secret Whole Mate Code to Cosmic Love
06/03/2025
Marc Gafni | Why Soulmate Relationships Don't Work: The Secret Whole Mate Code to Cosmic Love
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 746 Are you ready to reconfigure your past and reimagine humanity’s future through the power of outrageous love? Visionary Philosopher joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 746, to guide you from mythic narratives of soul mates to the co-creative vision of whole mates: evolutionary partners in service of the cosmos. Learn how the gift of suffering becomes the pathway to transcendence, why raising children is a spiritual act of embodiment, and how solving humanity’s value crisis can spark a galactic awakening. "Soulmate relationships don't work. They're insufficient. If a couple is not looking at a shared horizon and they are only looking deeply in each other's eyes, it will not work. Whole mates are not just looking deeply in each other's eyes. They're first looking at a shared horizon, a shared mission. They're looking at the whole. They're in a relationship to the whole. And then from there, they turn back and look at each other." - Marc Gafni In This Episode, Marc Gafni Uncovers: [01:20] Outrageous Love Why 'I love you' is our sacred creed. How facing death puts us in our visceral truth. Why we've lost connection to the meaning of 'I love you.' The difference between ordinary love and outrageous love. How love allows us to give our unique gifts. When we're in love, we feel welcome in the cosmos. Why reality is not a fact but an outrageous love story. How reality is generated. [09:50] What Is Evolution? The three levels of knowing. How we get lost in the complexity, which blocks us from seeing the depth. Every place we've been, we needed to be. Why every detour is part of the destination. How reality has mathematical, musical, molecular, metabolic, moral, and mystical values. Why reality is movement towards transformation. Evolution is love in action in response to need. How becoming what reality intended us to be, divinity experiences self-recognition through us. If we don't have the experience that we matter, our mind, heart, and body break down. [20:20] The Three Faces of God Why the God we don't believe in doesn't exist. The importance of the word 'God.' Why outrageous love is not a response to another person but the love that moves through us. The three faces of God: first, second, and third person. How religions show the faces of God. [29:50] New World Why we're in a time between worlds. How 40% of AI researchers believe that AI could destroy all humanity. How we can create a new story of values for the world. [35:45] Divine Loneliness Why God is lonely. How we need separation to create intimacy. What it means to be lonely. How Marc's son made him see the human singularity. The importance of knowing our soul print. How we cover up our emptiness by getting our attention hijacked. Why we need to sit in loneliness in order to fill up with our soul print. The divine is being, spaciousness, and becoming. Why evolution is a love story of the universe. How wholeness comes from brokenness. [47:25] Pseudo-Eros + Shame Why pornography is pseudo-Eros. How pornography is explicit sexuality taken out of the context of a story. Why our relationship to essence is always sensual. How our shame tells a story that we're wrong. Why a great saint makes new mistakes. The meaning of the word 'hallelujah.' [56:10] From Soul Mate to Whole Mate Why soulmate relationships don't work. Why reality is evolution, relationships, and the evolution of relationships. How crisis drives evolution, and the movement is an evolution of relationships. The evolution from role mate to soul mate to whole mate. How each one of us has a role within a relationship in order to survive and thrive. [01:11:50] How Movies Tell The Story of Reality How the Matrix movie displays a whole mate relationship. How love replaced our values. Why sexuality is not personal but universal. The importance of having a shared vision as a couple. Why most children don't believe in love anymore. [01:30:35] Raising Children As Whole Mates What embodiment feels like. Why raising children is more than a role mate part. How we can serve the larger whole. The reason why most relationships don't work. Why monogamy is a practice. Why relationships are the basic structure of reality. How most couples therapists don't address the issue of not having a shared vision. [01:42:15] Our Deepest Desires Our Divine Desires Why God is the intimate infinite. How creating a new intimacy creates a new God. Why spirituality and religion must come together. How our desire to become more intimate comes from God. [01:48:55] The Purpose of Evolution Why the purpose of evolution is the evolution of love. How the evolution of love is the evolution of God. Why whole mates are evolutionary partners. An atom is a new value of intimacy. How we move from matter to life. Why power gives us pleasure and dignity. How we can impact the whole world. Why we're never powerless. Enlightenment means to know the nature of reality. [01:58:55] Reconfigure Your Past What creates a capacity to transform. How we can get beneath time. Why we can undo our mistakes. How transforming our will transforms our deeds. [02:07:10] New Humanity + Existential Risks How we can practice love in the moments of pain. Why the universe feels love. How outrageous lovers commit outrageous acts of love. Why war is not inevitable. We can create a new human and a new humanity. How the cosmos is moving towards more goodness. What existential risks we're facing as humanity. Why evolution doesn't stop. [02:17:05] Solving Value How the process of getting deeper is our joy. Why there are different qualities of love. How the new age community doesn't do the deep work. Why we need to solve the value to create a change in the world. [02:25:30] What Is Value? How the source code is corrupted because the story of value has gotten lost. Why we need to go to the source code to clarify our values. What makes us question ourselves. How reality desires to evolve the source code. Why we're on the edge of a galactic moment. 🍄 A fully legal psychedelic microdose? YES!

Power Quotes From The Show Ordinary Love VS Outrageous Love "I love you are sacred words, but we've lost connection to what they mean. We think that I love you is an ordinary love, a social construct where we agree this is the thing called love and we love each other and it gives us status and security and a sense of belonging. That's not what love is. Love is not ordinary love. Love is outrageous love. And outrageous love is not mere human sentiment. Outrageous love is the heart of existence itself." - Marc Gafni Bodhisattva Sexing "Sexuality models the larger field of Eros. It doesn't exhaust it. There are seven levels of Eros, seven tastes of sexing. And the seventh level is called Bodhisattva sexing which is when my orgasms become prayers. I'm sexing for the sake of the whole. I'm pouring my energy into the whole." - Marc Gafni The Source of Loneliness "Loneliness is the inability to share my soul print with another person, usually because I haven't shared it with myself. But my soul print is not a thing. My soul print is a story. It's a set of relationships. That's what reality is." - Marc Gafni Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Marc Gafni is a visionary thinker, social activist, passionate philosopher, and author of 25 books.

Learn to rewrite your reality + master a new “reality game.” Unlock your highest potential in your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual + financial SELF beyond your wildest dreams through accessing the power of surrender to trust life + create new results. Listen To Episode 745 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Introduction to Emotional Epigenetics + Genetic Determinism How we inherit emotional patterns. The myth of genetic determinism: genes are not destiny and can be influenced by environment, emotions, and beliefs. Scientific studies prove how trauma and emotional experiences can be passed down through generations. The concept of learned helplessness is where individuals feel stuck due to societal programming and limiting beliefs about healing and personal change. Quantum entanglement and how personal healing can ripple through past and future generations. The four pillars of the L.I.F.E. Method: Liberation (uncovering hidden patterns), Integration (using breathwork and somatic tools), Frequency Upgrade (regulating the nervous system), and Embodiment (anchoring new behaviors and boundaries). [05:45] It's Your Responsibility to Heal Emotional epigenetics is likened to tending a garden, where inherited genes are seeds and the environment and choices are the nourishment. While inherited pain is not one's fault, it is each person's responsibility to heal and prevent passing trauma to future generations. How the L.I.F.E. Method program accelerates participants to pull out inherited emotional 'weeds' and rewire their nervous system. Emotional healing is not just biological but also spiritual, involving energy in motion (emotion) and the quantum field. Daily practices of emotional integration and inventory, and the importance of unconditional love and acceptance from all spiritual traditions.

Author and extreme adventurer, , joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 742, to share how embracing suffering during his 60-day solo crossing of Antarctica became the key to transcending limitations and unlocking pure potential, what his journey taught him about the paradox of oneness, and why the only way out of suffering is through it. "When you stop resisting suffering, it frees you from the grasp of suffering. It's not the suffering in and of itself that I seek. Suffering is the means, not the purpose. The purpose is what it gives you access to. It's the transcendence, the awakening, the breaking down of the illusions, the surrender." - Akshay Nanavati In This Episode, Akshay Nanavati Uncovers: [01:10] 60 Days Alone in Antarctica How the world shows you more about the human soul than any textbook. Why it's a privilege when we can choose our suffering. How he confronted his inner demons while crossing Antarctica. Why Akshay's biggest mental challenge during the expedition was frustration.

How resisting or clinging to duality creates suffering. [19:40] The Gift of Suffering The bigger the dragon we battle, the better the treasure on the other side of the battle. Why the human experience is a paradox. How suffering is the means to transcendence. Why pain connects us to God. How Akshay accepts what is instead of resisting suffering. Why comfort is not the enemy. [26:45] Pure Experience Why reality is not "either, or." How labels create divisions and limitations. Why words can open the door for us, but can't provide the same value as experience. How mastery is about bringing ourselves back to the center. [31:40] Stop Attaching to The Outcome How Akshay's Antarctica crossing helped him shed the resistance to the outcome. Why he's been embracing the process more than the outcome. How he plays on the edge in the middle. What led Akshay to find more peace within. [36:40] Don't Be Afraid to Get Off Balance Why Akshay doesn't feel like the polar expedition was dangerous. The importance of allowing ourselves to feel grief. Why stillness isn't the same as doing nothing. How getting off balance helps us awaken.

Why we shouldn't rob our children of their lessons. How Indian parents tend to over-spoil their kids. Why having our kids experience the full range of emotions builds their resilience. The only way out of the suffering is through it. [01:06:30] The Power of Language How soft talk disempowers us. What led Akshay to become more conscious of his language. How our words shape our reality. When we give our pain voice, we give it more power. How all words are conceptual thoughts. [01:11:20] The Reality of Polar Crossing Why Akshay's now on a mission to share his storm with others. What makes him want to go back to Antarctica. Why his goal was to spend 115 days on the polar mission. What he was eating while he was crossing Antarctica. [01:16:10] Turn Your Pain to Your Purpose Why we often want to skip and bypass grief.

How he feared what people would think if he didn't make it through the expedition. Why other people's lens of reality doesn't change who we are. How Akshay only took a day off from walking Antarctica on day 50. [01:47:30] Your Beliefs Hold You Hostage Why Josh wasn't able to start the podcast for 4 years because of his childhood conditioning. Why all paths are a crossroad. We don't rise to the level of the desires that we want, we fall to the level of the struggle that we're willing to endure. How all the suffering Akshay went through was worth it. Why belief is built on the battlefield. We are not defined by our thoughts. How confidence is a result of an action, it's not the fuel for action. [01:56:25] Connection with God Why Akshay didn't have a relationship with God when he was struggling with suicidal thoughts. How he taps into gratitude and the essence of the human spirit. Why Akshay wants to help other people cross their own version of Antarctica. 🍄 A fully legal psychedelic microdose? YES!

The resisting or clinging to either side of any duality is what creates all suffering." - Akshay Nanavati What Struggle Are You Willing to Endure? "We as individuals, we will not rise to the level of the desires we want. We will fall to the level of the struggle we are willing to endure." - Akshay Nanavati The Paradox of Oneness "The paradox of oneness is the realization that all the opposites that encompass the human experience are not truly separate. They are interconnected and they are part of a greater whole. True peace and freedom are created through shedding the illusions of the conceptual mind that creates these divisions, seeing them as one, and embracing both sides as part of the greater whole." - Akshay Nanavati Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Akshay Nanavati has overcome drug addiction, PTSD from fighting in Iraq with the Marines (where one of his jobs was to walk in front of vehicles to find bombs), depression, and alcoholism that pushed him to the brink of suicide.

We ALL have problems. Stop hiding. Start living life liberated. Learn how to set yourself free from self-sabotage, limiting beliefs, thoughts + behaviors so you will have lifelong confidence + clarity of purpose through a thriving community + practical tools, guiding you to play a new reality game. Discover lifelong confidence, clarity, and a true sense of purpose with practical tools and a supportive community. Learn to rewrite your reality + master a new “reality game.” Unlock your highest potential in your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual + financial SELF beyond your wildest dreams through accessing the power of surrender to trust life + create new results. Listen To Episode 741 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Introduction to Accountability + Boundaries The essence of accountability. Boundaries are essential for self-love and healthy relationships. How much responsibility do we have to hold others accountable? Fear often prevents people from enforcing boundaries; fear is reframed as 'false evidence appearing real.' [03:45] Setting + Practicing Boundaries Boundaries are first set, then practiced; self-regulation and self-accountability are key. Letting go of the fear of 'burning bridges' is crucial when enforcing boundaries. Boundaries should be communicated clearly, especially in family and intimate relationships, where they are often hardest to enforce. Practicing boundaries with strangers or in low-stakes situations helps build skill and courage. [07:20] Learning from Broken Boundaries + Pain Pain from broken boundaries teaches self-love and integration. Rigid boundaries may block love and growth; flexibility and self-trust are needed. Repeated lessons occur until boundaries are internalized and enforced naturally without fear or anger. [09:45] Nonviolent Communication + Boundary Enforcement Boundaries can be enforced without shame or anger, using curiosity and dialogue. Public and private boundary enforcement share the same principles: identify the breach, ask questions, and seek shared outcomes. Role-play example demonstrates the 'rule of three' for boundary communication: verbalize the breach, bring curiosity, and co-create a result. Adding emotional context (how it makes you feel) enhances understanding and connection. [19:35] Emotional Regulation + Honesty Breath and presence are essential for emotional regulation during boundary conversations. Triggers are opportunities for growth; honesty about feelings creates clarity and speed in resolving issues. Slowing down communication and being honest about triggers or fears leads to better outcomes. Honesty is the foundation for clarity, which in turn enables faster resolution and connection. [24:40] Attachment Styles + the Path to Peace Speed in resolving conflict is a universal human desire, but true speed comes from honesty and clarity, not rushing. Attachment styles (anxious and avoidant) influence how people approach boundaries and connection. Sitting in honesty and clarity helps both attachment styles achieve harmony and connection quickly. Awareness is the starting point for all personal growth and boundary work; the series aims to nourish all aspects of self (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, financial). 🍄 A fully legal psychedelic microdose?

"After you're in your early mid-20s, you lose 1 to 2% of the collagen in your body every year. So when you turn 55, you're at half.

This process transforms the collagen into much smaller and easily digestible peptides that are highly bioavailable. Collagen peptides are typically recommended for those looking to support skin health, improve joint function, boost bone density, and enhance hair and nail growth.

Power Quotes From The Show Exogenous Collagen Peptides "If you exogenously take collagen peptides, it will have your body endogenously producing collagen peptides.

They have to walk it, but I want to show them the right path." - Sean Lake Can You Get Enough Collagen From Your Diet? "Ground beef and bone broth are an amazing way to get gelatin collagen in the body. But what you don't realize is how much you'd have to eat. For most bodies, 20 grams is the baseline. But to get 20 grams from nature, you'd have to be eating a lot of ground beef or bone broth. And our lifestyles don't really allow us to do that and then there's also a digestive cost." - Sean Lake Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Sean Lake Sean Lake is an entrepreneur, former professional snowboarder, and the co-founder of BUBS Naturals, a wellness brand best known for its grass-fed collagen protein and MCT oil powders.

BUBS commits 10% of every sale to veteran-focused charities, most notably the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation and the Navy SEAL Foundation, so the business is, in Lake’s words, “a perpetual fundraiser disguised as a supplement company.”

"The language that your parents speak to you becomes the language that you speak to yourself for the rest of your life.

She took that out on you because that's the only way she could think if I made you better, then I would be better. But when you're a kid, all you understand is the internalization that you're wrong, you're bad, and you're not good enough." - John Wang We Take On Ancestral Patterns "My grandparents were dealing with famine and war. And so I have the patterns they learned to survive in my body, even though I'm not facing famine and war. But yet that is the level of anxiety, fear, self-judgment, and guilt that I carry because they had to carry it. They're not mine. I didn't create them for my survival. I took them on because my parents taught them to me." - John Wang Why We Hide Our Truth "We fear telling the truth because if I can keep up this illusion of who others see me as, then one day I'll come to believe in myself. If I can convince you to like me, then I'll like me. If I can convince you to think that I'm important, then I'll think I'm important. If I'm trying to sell you a version of me, that relationship is poisoned." - John Wang Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About John Wang is a leadership coach to the Asian American community, corporate speaker, and host of the Big Asian Energy podcast.

LLS | Why You Were Never Meant to Heal Alone
Wellness + Wisdom: Liberated Life Series | Episode 737 Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host, , and the Liberated Life Series Co-Host, , share how letting go of outdated relationships frees you to find deeper belonging, why self-awareness and courage are the real keys to attracting your trusted tribe, and how online groups can serve as scaffolding for more intimate in-person meetups, and why you were never meant to heal alone. We ALL have problems. Stop hiding. Start living life liberated. Learn how to set yourself free from self-sabotage, limiting beliefs, thoughts + behaviors so you will have lifelong confidence + clarity of purpose through a thriving community + practical tools, guiding you to play a new reality game. Discover lifelong confidence, clarity, and a true sense of purpose with practical tools and a supportive community. Learn to rewrite your reality + master a new “reality game.” Unlock your highest potential in your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual + financial SELF beyond your wildest dream through accessing the power of surrender to trust life + create new results. Listen To Episode 737 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Defining Authentic Community + Connection Community is defined as a space of mutual trust, support, and non-judgment where individuals can be authentic. Modern society often replaces true community with transactional relationships. The concept of friendship is visualized as three rings: inner circle (trusted tribe), middle (friends), and outer (acquaintances). Authentic connection starts with self-awareness and the courage to be oneself Biological and neurological need for community is emphasized—humans are wired for connection. [06:15] Personal Growth, Letting Go + the Evolution of Friendships Personal development often leads to outgrowing old friendships and communities that no longer align with one's values or growth. Letting go of relationships can be painful, but it is necessary for personal evolution and to allow space for new, aligned connections. Take inventory of your current relationships and assess their authenticity and alignment. Growth and change in core friendships typically occur every 5-7 years. [11:30] The Power of Community in Healing + Growth Healing and personal growth are maximized in community, not in isolation. Practices like breathwork and nonviolent communication are more powerful when done collectively. Community acts as a mirror, providing feedback and shared experiences that foster deeper learning and transformation. [13:50] Online vs. In-Person Community + The Role of Intuition Modern communities often begin online but should ideally transition to in-person for a deeper connection. Intuition is key in discerning authentic communities from transactional or inauthentic ones. The gut-brain axis and healthy lifestyle choices are linked to stronger intuition and better discernment. [20:15] Scaffolding of Online Communities + Financial Considerations Online communities serve as scaffolding for building deeper, in-person connections. Financial limitations can be a barrier to in-person experiences, but online spaces can help build the foundation for eventual in-person engagement. True value in a community comes from honest participation and mutual support, not just financial transactions. [24:00] Money, Energy Exchange + Models for Community The necessity of energy exchange (including money) for sustaining community leaders and facilitators. Different community models: free, paid, and hybrid (scholarships, partial gifting) communities. The value of transformational experiences is often worth the investment, and money is reframed as a vehicle for energy exchange. Question assumptions about money and community, and find models that align with both integrity and sustainability. A fully legal psychedelic microdose? YES!

Silvy Khoucasian | Stop Confusing Chemistry for Trauma: Why You're Attracted to the Wrong People + How to Finally Break the Pattern
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 736 Is your attachment style secretly directing every move you make in a relationship, from how quickly you run away to how desperately you cling? joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 736, to share how our nervous system, childhood attachments, and self-imposed boundaries can either block or build authentic love, why some red flags can be transformed into healthy agreements how to break old patterns and self-regulate more effectively, and what it takes to begin creating fulfilling relationships based on curiosity, vulnerability, and mutual respect. "Even red flags can become yellow flags or green flags if you work on creating agreements to prioritize the safe relationship. Agreements are the gold where you start to recognize how to find the bridge for both people's needs. And then you also set internal boundaries and agreements with yourself so that you're contributing to create that environment" - Silvy Khoucasian In This Episode, Silvy Khoucasian Uncovers: [01:15] Are You Looking for The Red Flags? Why everyone has their own red flags in a relationship. How red flags can be related to an unbalanced nervous system. When we don't understand our self-narratives, we will search for evidence that already exists in our brains. Why Silvy went on 300 dates before she met her husband. How she was always searching for the red flags. Why red flags can turn into green flags when we make agreements. The difference between rigid and healthy boundaries. How boundaries can become a trap that prevents us from creating a connection. [07:45] Four Attachment Styles How attachment styles are formed in our childhood. Why unpredictable behavior in parents causes anxiety in children in their adult life. How Silvy wanted a relationship but always left when she got scared. Why reassurance from her husband helped her heal her attachment style. It's normal to have vulnerabilities in a relationship. [14:10] Learn to Self-Regulate The differences between each of the four attachment styles. Why we unconsciously relive our childhood memories as adults, even when we don't remember them. How we only discover our wounds when we get into a relationship. Why it's important to learn to self-regulate. How we can co-create safety with other people. [19:55] Create Positive Interactions With Your Partner Why relationships are not easy for most of us. How we create agreements in a relationship to protect ourselves from ourselves and from each other. Why vulnerability is the key to creating connection. Why there's no point in being in a relationship if we're not attuned to our partner. [25:40] Replace Judgment with Curiosity Why it's hard to be curious about another person if we're not curious about ourselves. How Silvy felt lonely inside because she put all of her focus on others.

We rely a little too much on relationship for that feeling of aliveness, but do we actually have that aliveness in other parts of our lives?" - Silvy Khoucasian Women's Emotions Are Not Men's Responsibility "Having a man that just has tolerate anything and just be this rock and hold the space and just receive, that's not even healthy for her. That's not going to keep her in integrity with herself. Being able to witness the range of emotion is important on both sides, but not from a place of where you could just spew out any words and stories and assumptions that comes out with that. That's actually a boundary violation." - Silvy Khoucasian Move Towards Safety "You have to look for signs that your relationship is moving in the direction of healing, more safety, and more connection. And it doesn't mean you're not going to have those struggles. You are. But how do you learn from those things? And do you have a partner who's willing to co-create that safety together? And sometimes it's us that's contributing to that lack of safety. Can we be really honest about that?" - Silvy Khoucasian Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Silvy Khoucasian is a Relationship Coach and a Writer.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 734 How is poor sleep quietly sabotaging your health, performance, and relationships? , Performance Enhancement Physician + former SEAL, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 734, to uncover the shocking truth about mainstream sleep drugs and how they hijack natural processes like GABA without delivering true rest, how high-stress lifestyles demand recovery strategies, and why optimizing your sleep might just be the missing key to a better life, stronger communication, and lasting emotional resilience. "When you don't sleep very well, you're choosing to age faster. If you stay up for 20 hours, you've added 4 hours of damage, which means your brain is aging 25% faster. If you do this regularly, you will get neurological decline." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Get 20% Off Dr. Parsley's Sleep Remedy Sleep Remedy is designed to enhance the quality of your sleep, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Sleep experts meticulously formulated this product to naturally align with your body's sleep mechanisms, providing a non-habit-forming solution to improve nightly rest. Dr. Kirk Parsley's Sleep Remedy works by supplementing your body's own production of sleep-inducing molecules like melatonin, magnesium, and a special blend of amino acids. In This Episode, Kirk Parsley MD Uncovers: [01:05] The Dangers of Sleep Drugs How the pharmaceutical industry formulates sleep products. Why Benzodiazepines are 100X stronger than GABA. How sleep has nothing to do with GABA, but pharmaceuticals mainly focus on GABA. Why sleep drugs can cause anomalistic behavior. How alcohol decreases deep sleep and REM sleep.

[23:15] Modern Lifestyle Changed How We Sleep How Kirk's work translated from the Navy SEALs to all people. Why he became a private health consultant. How stress ages us. Why the Industrial Age affected our sleep quality. [27:35] Super Sleeper Genes Why wearable data is not actionable. How we can't change what we don't measure. Why our genes define whether or not we suffer when we get less than 8 hours of sleep. How to treat insomnia using non-sleep deep rest. Why we need to mimic what our ancestors did to sleep well. The importance of creating a list of our worries. [39:05] The Science of Sleep Why parents lose 6 months of sleep during the first 2 years of their baby's life. How we can recover from long-term lack of sleep. Why it takes 8 hours to recover from being awake for 16 hours. How we clean the waste inside of our body through sleep. What happens in the body when we go to sleep. Why our body creates inflammation when we don't manage to get rid of the waste product. How calcified plaque is created in the body. [44:55] Chronic Sleep Deprivation = Neurological Decline? How psychiatric illnesses are highly impacted by sleep. What chronobiology has discovered about psychiatric patients and their mental health in relation to circadian rhythm. Why being awake is catabolic and being asleep is anabolic. How we repair our stress levels while we sleep. Why immediately after working out we are weaker and we need to repair during our sleep. How aging affects our capacity to repair our body. Why long-term lack of sleep makes us age faster. How releasing stress hormones can help us repair if we don't get enough sleep. Why we're the only stress-deprived species on Earth. [54:20] How to Navigate Sleep Deprivation As a Parent Why co-sleeping with our children is not essential. How each child has different sleep needs. Why Kirk repressed a lot of his childhood anger and trauma. How he used to pull all-nighters when he was studying, working, and raising his children. Why sleeping 4 to 5 hours a day for several years caused Kirk's health to decline. How he was helping the SEALs with their health issues but wasn't helping himself.

How research proved that couples who don't get enough sleep perceive each other more negatively. Why stress causes impulsive behavior and lack of emotional control. How sleep deprivation is used as a torture technique in interrogation. [01:14:20] Good Communication Starts with Good Sleep Why brain function is essential for communication. How the brain holds on to arguments even after it has ended. The role of emotional categorization. How good quality sleep rebalances our hormone levels. Why hormones impact how we show up.

Why psilocybin made him face darkness. How the psilocybin experience changed how he perceives fear. Why love and fear are the only emotions, but only love is real. [01:44:15] The End of Suffering Why Kirk used to believe that we need to choose to suffer for a reason. How he always wanted to raise his children to be able to handle as much as him. Why the consequence of suffering was that he got tired of suffering. Power Quotes From The Show Lack of Sleep = Threat? "The only animal on this planet that sleep deprives itself on purpose is us. It makes evolutionary sense that our brains perceive lack of sleep as famine or threat because there's some kind of stressor going on. That is why people who don't sleep well or don't sleep enough have higher amygdala tone and higher stress hormones." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Benefits of Sleep "It takes 8 hours to recover from being awake for 16 hours. The benefit of sleep is the hormone production, the repair, the acceleration of your immune system, the consolidation of memories, the categorization of emotional events." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Your Brain Creates Waste Products "When you go to sleep, the neurons that hold the structure of the brain contract about 30% and they create little channels for the cerebral spinal fluid to flow through. There are ways for it to clear and get outside of the blood brain barrier and get rid of your waste products. If you don't clear that, it's toxic. It's a waste product. It'd be like if you leave feces in your living room, you don't get rid of it, it's toxic. And what happens is that your brain or your body attacks it. It's like a foreign object. So it's an inflammatory response." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Kirk Parsley, MD is certified in Hyperbaric Medicine, Anti-Aging Medicine, and Hormone Replacement Therapy, and is currently pursuing national certification in Psychedelic Medicine Therapies. He dedicates a significant portion of his time to advising non-profit organizations that support the SEAL community and providing healthcare guidance and treatment to veterans. Operating his practice and supplement business from Austin, Texas, Kirk is an avid outdoorsman and fitness enthusiast. His philosophy is straightforward: our bodies are built on a 100,000+ year-old model, and we perform best by emulating the lifestyle we evolved to live, as closely as possible, striving to approximate the health metrics of our 25-30-year-old selves (the physiologic peak of most humans). Kirk firmly believes that 80% of health is derived from focusing on Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, and Stress mitigation, with a strong emphasis on Sleep.

How we follow the crowd-pleaser script to follow other people's dreams. Why we don't question why we actually want something. [18:55] The Role of Liminal Spaces Why liminal spaces don't feel safe.

How Anne-Laure thought leaving her job at Google meant she was rewriting her script. When nobody's surprised by our decisions, we're still probably following a script. [42:50] Liminal Space VS Immediate Needs How Anne-Laure found herself in a liminal space after her first start-up failed.

How money is not part of our legacy. Why success is when children still want to spend time with us when they're adults. How we can teach ourselves to move beyond our scripts. Power Quotes From The Show Ask Yourself This to Live a More Authentic Life "You can get a little bit closer to living an authentic life when you start asking yourself, what do I want? What am I curious about? And making space for it, as much space as you can." - Anne-Laure Le Cunff Liminal Space "Liminal space is a space where you don't know the rules, you don't know the players, you can't predict the outcomes. But we can't predict what's going to happen either way. It's this illusion of safety and certainty that we're seeking. The gift of the liminal space is learning more about yourself, about your work, and about the world. It is a space for self discovery if you allow yourself to stay in it, which can be very uncomfortable." - Anne-Laure Le Cunff What Would You Do If You Could Do Anything? "If the traditional definition of success was out of the equation, if it was just you, and you could wake up in the morning and spend your time in any way you like, read any book that you want, listen to any podcast, walk anywhere, just spend your day in any way following your curiosity, what would your day look like really?" - Anne-Laure Le Cunff Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Ann-Laure Le Cunff is an award-winning neuroscientist and entrepreneur.

Listen To Episode 731 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] The Power of Self-Talk The words we use are described as 'spells' and 'little prayers' that impact our mental state The narrative about pain can keep us stuck (e.g., saying 'I'm in pain' vs. 'I'm healing') The unconscious mind constantly listens to our self-talk Our brain receives 11 million bits of information per second but can only process 50-120 bits Neuroplasticity enables our brains to create new neural pathways through repeated thoughts [10:15] Disempowering Language Patterns Common disempowering phrases: 'I can't,' 'I should,' 'I'm bad,' 'I'm not smart enough' Learned patterns often pass down through family generations Spend 24 hours noticing how you speak to yourself The phrase 'I have to' creates a feeling of obligation and burden Replacing 'I have to' with 'I get to' shifts from obligation to opportunity The etymology of 'should' comes from Old English meaning debt, obligation, or duty [20:30] Replacing 'I don't know' 'I don't know' is a definite response that closes off possibilities Replace 'I don't know' with 'I'm figuring it out' or 'I'm learning how' The connection between disempowering language and lack of trust in intuition When we replace definitiveness with curiosity, it opens up possibilities Curiosity is lost during arguments when we get triggered (prefrontal cortex activity decreases) [30:45] Eliminating 'Try' + 'Maybe' 'Try' implies potential failure and provides a backdoor excuse not to succeed Replace 'try' with 'I will' or 'I'm going to do my very best' 'Maybe' steals our ability to take action and indicates a lack of conviction 'Maybe' often serves as a safety net in case we're wrong Replace 'maybe' with 'I commit to' or 'I believe' The importance of balancing high standards of communication with grace for ourselves Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources

Brian Richards | The Science Behind Infrared Saunas: Can Near-Infrared Light Repair Your DNA?
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 730 Could your DNA hold a hidden superpower that’s just waiting to be activated by light? Brian Richards, Founder of , joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 730, to uncover how near-infrared saunas can help cleanse toxins, support brain function, and even raise your vibrational frequency, and why embracing your innate power to heal is the ultimate path to true freedom. "One of the effects of photobiomodulation is to correct gene transcription = how the DNA is read. The DNA and the epigenetics are being fixed in a much more powerful way with the near-infrared light than they're being damaged by the ultraviolet component of the sunlight. But indoors, we only use damaging light. There's none of the healing light anymore. So to bring ourselves back into balance, we need to get a lot more near-infrared light. And the incandescent bulb uniquely presents itself as a way to do that." - Brian Richards 10% Off SaunaSpace ThermaLight® technology combines the finest tungsten filaments, mouth-blown red-stained glass, and years of engineering to produce a full-spectrum infrared light that mimics the best of nature.

Why the CV-19 vaccine acts like snake venom. How being true to himself is important for Brian's personal wellness. Why we always have a choice and we can find empowerment instead of victimhood. Power Quotes From The Show Near-Infrared Light Can Heal Traumatic Brain Injuries "When you have a TBI, you have damage to your nerve cells and your nervous system. The near-infrared light goes into the mitochondria in the brain cells and it promotes regeneration, healing, inflammation reduction, and also anti aging. It corrects the function of the cell itself by helping to re-establish connections and repair the interworking of all the cells together collectively." - Brian Richards We Lack Sunlight "The average American gets five to seven minutes of sunlight a day, just going out to the car on the way to work. We're really deprived of the things that keep us resilient and also allow us to be high frequency and multi-dimensional." - Brian Richards Light Brings Your Back Into Yourself "Light opens us up and brings us back into ourselves.

What keeps us stuck in the same patterns. Power Quotes From The Show Brain Pattern Opposition "The way our brain pattern will distort our perception is that we repeat the things that we like, and we decide what makes us feel safe or unsafe. So we keep constraining our possibilities and choices, and it gets us locked in a very restrictive loop. Pattern opposition is when we understand exactly what our brain pattern sets up is a pattern of self-deception, repetitive thoughts, how we tend to assume in a very patterned way about our environment so that we can establish how we do things very precisely." - Bizzie Gold Pain Helps You Grow "We can grow so much through pain and hurt. And if you are tricked into thinking that you need to deny this pain and hurt because you need to choose to be positive, you end up missing the lesson. You end up missing being present in the pain. And presence in the pain is the thing that helps you grow the most." - Bizzie Gold Repetitive Events Shape Your Brain "Anything negative is going to feel traumatizing in our earliest years of life. Our brain is shaped by the repetitive events, not the one time events. The break method is about understanding how are we seeing the world through distortion and how can we learn to take that off so that we can see things more as they are, more objectively? When we do that, collaboration becomes very easy to do because we no longer see our perspective oppositional to someone else's perspective." - Bizzie Gold Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Bizzie Gold is an innovator and disruptor in the field of mental health.
