    Exploring Mind, Body & Spirit: 2025 in Review

    What if looking back on your year could help you see yourself more clearly, and step forward with intention? In this special year-end episode, I step into the mic solo to reflect on 2025: the first full year of the Viking Academy Podcast. Across 26 conversations with thinkers, healers, entrepreneurs, and explorers, a powerful theme emerged: true growth happens when we explore the mind, body, and spirit together. This episode isn’t a highlight reel, it’s a guided reflection. I revisit the insights that shaped me most this year, share what challenged my thinking, and invite you to pause and reflect on your own journey through 2025. Along the way, I offer simple questions, practices, and a grounding ritual to help you integrate what you’ve lived, not just intellectually, but experientially. This is about wholeness, not hacks.  Integration, not optimization.  And remembering that the joy is in the exploration itself. Topics We Explore: The unifying theme behind every Viking Academy conversation in 2025Exploring mind, body, and spirit as an integrated wholeLessons from fitness, neuroscience, art, technology, and spiritualityWhy quality beats quantity in growth, training, and lifeHow stories, myths, and identity shape who we becomeThe power of reflection, writing, and intentional self-inquiryQuestions to help you close 2025 with clarity and open 2026 with purposeLearn More about The Viking Academy: https://www.vikingacademy.com

    Exploring Energy & Healing with Dr. Bill Schroeder

    What if the body already knows how to heal, if we simply knew how to listen? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bill Schroeder, physician, molecular biologist, and integrative medicine pioneer, whose life bridges rigorous science and profound intuitive awareness. Trained in internal medicine and molecular biology, Bill spent decades working inside the conventional medical system while quietly exploring the subtle energy dynamics that shape health, consciousness, and human resilience. After studying under Dr. Andrew Weil and legendary healer Rosalyn Bruyere, Dr. Schroeder began integrating energy medicine, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology into his clinical work, witnessing recoveries that challenged everything modern medicine assumes about healing, pain, and the mind-body connection. This conversation explores energy not as mysticism but as biology, and consciousness not as belief, but as a survival technology built into the human nervous system. This isn’t about bypassing medicine. It’s about remembering the doctor within. Topics We Explore: How subtle energy influences healing, stress, and the nervous systemThe science behind expanded states of awareness and the “third eye”Why fear collapses the human energy field, and calm restores itThe role of consciousness in pain, trauma, and chronic illnessWhat ancient healing traditions understood that modern medicine forgotConnect with  Dr. Bill Schroeder: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-william-robert-schroeder-do-mcdb-b787131a4/  Learn More about The Viking Academy: https://www.vikingacademy.com
