  1. Healthy, Clean Water for your Whole Home that actually works (it's not what you think) | Owen Boyd

    Healthy, Clean Water for your Whole Home that actually works (it's not what you think) | Owen Boyd

    In an era of forever chemicals, microplastics, natural disasters, glyphosate, and reverse osmosis, Owen Boyd - inventor behind Toppen Health - shares how to not only protect yourself from water toxicity, but give your body the water it's looking for to function optimally (and what that means). Custom Water Solutions for Your Whole House: Custom Water Solutions for Your Whole House: https://www.alexandercorey.com/cleanwater Many of you will know that I've been immersed in a journey to understand water and its impact on human health for the last few years. With that pursuit and research of thousands of systems came a somber realization of the trade off between contaminant removal and amount of water filtered: TLDR: I couldn't find a system that could produce healthy water (listen to the episode for what I meant by that) with third party lab testing down to the level I wanted, for a whole house. Really, for more than just a tap at a time. I stumbled across Pureway Water filtration and Toppen Health on an indeed listing just outside of Asheville, NC in Lake Lure, NC. This came AFTER Hurricane Helene devastated the region, and the water, and caused me to leave my home of 8 years for coastal NC to heal. I immediately called the owners and started asking questions and for lab testing, because they were filtering right out of Lake Lure. To give you some perspective, every carcinogen and contaminant I know of is in that lake from oil, gas, propane, plastic, sewage, animal/human remains, manufacturing products, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, etc brought from the entire Asheville region post Hurricane Helene Owen had managed to redesign some NASA tech that he had been using in the medical/dental world to remediate mercury and arsenic contamination, and it was now available in the residential/business sector for the first time in decades. The part that actually amazed me was that this tech was able to keep minerals, prevent limescale, handle iron, and required no salt, didn't waste any water, actually trapped contaminants, TRAPPED bacteria, cysts, and viruses (no UV filter needed) and required no electricity. All in the footprint that fits in an RV (or even on a boat) Needless to say, I was amazed and somewhat skeptical until I learned how it worked. Owen also happens to be working with some other mad water scientists to fix the forever chemical problem and create stable hydrogen water solutions.

The Brotherhood hosts regular breathwork circles and sacred fire circles where men can be seen fully, where the darkest parts of them are welcomed, and they can feel supported by brothers in a way that may not have been available in their life.Connect with NMB: Web | https://www.newmoonbrotherhood.com/ IG | https://instagram.com/new.moon.brotherhoodIn this episode, Alex Corey, Banks Anderson, and Hunter Ball dive into their vulnerable personal journeys and struggles that led Banks and Hunter to host their public circles in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina where men can come and shed their masks, guards, and filters to sink into their experience and learn how to soften, open, and be held accountable to their visions as well as build deep bonds for a lifetime. Alex found the Brotherhood in the Spring of 2023 after a trip to Mexico when two major relationship timelines ended in the same week and some of his deepest insecurities as a man rose to the surface, but he was unsure of how to stop spiraling due to a lack of a having a father in his life. Have you ever resonated with these? I feel lost and am lacking the motivation to move forward I want to live in my purpose but am unsure where to begin I have been the nice guy for far too long I feel the weight of fear and anxiety piling up and wanting to live confidently I feel alone in the world and want to open themselves up to connection and belonging I’ve let shame take over and make decisions of how to be I’m a ticking time bomb because the pressure to perform I’m lonely and feel as though I am either “too much” or “not enough” I’m not getting what I want from romantic relationships I feel as though something is wrong with me because of the cultural narrative of masculinity Men's Gathering: https://www.newmoonbrotherhood.com/mensgathering More episodes: https://www.alexandercorey.com/podcast
