Customer Reviews
Thank you from Julie L.
Discovering this podcast has changed my life in all ways. I have not only improved my lifestyle (nutrition, eating patterns, exercise, etc.) I have followed up with the books written by the experts sharing their wisdom.
I continue to recommend this podcast to so many friends. I hope soon to subscribe! Thank you so much, Jeff, Jake, and all of the professionals who make this possible. You are truly making such a difference in the world.
Wonderful offerings
As a health and wellness and coach and teacher of whole being, I appreciate the variety of offerings and teachers through the Commune podcast. There are enough topics and material to really help someone pivot their mental, spiritual, and physical outlook on health. I particularly appreciate the common theme of connectedness throughout.
Commune is a wonderful space
I was made aware of Commune a few years back by way of Russel Brand. Diagnosed with a stage IV cancer a decade ago, I was prescribed loads of opiates that I reluctantly became dependent on and addicted to. Building on my sobriety I began to read the Commune emails. They are full of all sorts of interesting things, all of which can better us and help us continue to grow. I usually take advantage of the free 5 days courses! I highly recommend!!
