    Journey from Depression to Spiritual Awakening

    Neil Elliott's Journey from Depression to Spiritual Awakening In this episode of the EZ Conversations Podcast, host Furkhan welcomes guest Neil Elliott, a professional engineer, to discuss his profound spiritual journey. Neil shares his life story, from the challenges of growing up without a father and working as an engineer to experiencing a deep, dark depression in his 40s. He narrates how meditative practices and spiritual books helped him move from a place of despair to one of inner peace, unconditional love, and non-judgment. Neil emphasizes the importance of experiencing rather than labelling spiritual journeys and how connectedness to source, meditation, and inner guidance can transform one's life. He also highlights the significance of being open to different paths to spiritual enlightenment and trusting the process for profound personal growth. To any outsider, D. Neil Elliott was highly educated, owned a profitable consulting firm, had a successful career, and had a fantastic wife and family. But things were not all they seemed to be … Neil was facing many challenges. In a phrase, he was in a dark place. Quite by accident, he discovered a higher road. He found the key to transforming his life as he travelled that road.   Neil read hundreds of self-help and spiritual books and took self-development courses for nearly thirty years. While all offered hope for change and improvement, nothing fulfilled his needs or genuinely delivered on its promises.   Neil’s desire—and his new mission in life—is to share the knowledge he gained and the process he used on his journey to self-awareness, together with the blueprint document he discovered that was instrumental in transforming his life. He wants to give you, regardless of your station in life, the tools and opportunity to empower yourself, transform your life, and draw peace, joy, love, and prosperity into your situation and environment. Neil believes that as more and more people follow this Higher Road to true spiritual perfection, a New Era of Love and Peace will dawn for everyone worldwide. 03:36 Introduction and Welcome 04:36 Neil's Background and Early Life 06:29 Professional Journey and Personal Struggles 07:09 Descent into Depression 09:22 Turning Point and Spiritual Awakening 09:57 Meditation and Spiritual Practices 15:47 Navigating Life's Challenges 26:15 Thoughts on Atheism and Openness 36:54 Manifestation and Changing Beliefs 48:11 Conclusion and Contact Information Sponsors of the Podcast: BetterHelp: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://betterhelp.com/ez10⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for 10% off your first month of therapy WeShape: https://weshape.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/dcfogwyuk?a_aid=FurkhanDandia&a_bid=d7508fa8 for 35% all plans.

    Unraveling Nutrition: The Hidden Truths of Sugars and Polysaccharides

    In this episode of the EZ Conversations podcast, Furkhan welcomes Dr. John Lewis to discuss his extensive journey in health and wellness. Dr. Lewis shares his background, from childhood sports to becoming a drug-free competitive bodybuilder and later transitioning into academics and research on nutrition and exercise. Key highlights include his insights on the misconceptions surrounding sugar consumption, the differentiation between various sugars, and the beneficial polysaccharides in aloe vera and rice bran. The conversation also touches on the importance of combining nutrition and exercise, the impact of processed and natural sugars, and practical advice on supplementation and managing chronic conditions like diabetes through dietary choices. Much of Dr. Lewis’s research has focused on evaluating the effects of nutrition, dietary supplements, and exercise on human health. He and his colleagues have been continually searching for ways to help people achieve and maintain health through natural treatments that align with our physiology. A primary stimulus for the origin of Dr Lewis Nutrition™ occurred after Dr. Lewis ran his landmark study on how an aloe polysaccharide multi-nutrient complex improved cognitive and immune functioning after 12 months in persons with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease, leading to the creation of the dietary supplement, Daily Brain Care. Daily Brain Care showed clinically and statistically significant improvements in cognition according to the ADAS-cog cognition score and statistically significant improvements in inflammation (according to TNFα and VEGF), immune function (according to the CD4/CD8 ratio), and adult stem cells (according to CD14+ cells). His seminal publication from the study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease spurred him to leave academics and pursue a science-based business career and enabled him to be selected for a widely-acclaimed TEDxMiami talk. 03:37 Introduction and Guest Welcome 04:41 Dr. John Lewis's Journey into Health and Wellness 05:38 Transition from Bodybuilding to Health Research 07:14 Meeting Influential Figures and Discovering Polysaccharides 09:16 Challenges in Academia and Shift to Business 11:29 Importance of Nutrition and Exercise 15:58 The Role of Supplements in Health 24:31 Understanding Complex Sugars and Polysaccharides 30:12 Reading Labels: The Key to Healthy Eating 32:33 Understanding the Benefits of Rice Bran 34:46 The Role of Nutrition in Disease Management 39:27 Debunking Myths About Grains and Gluten 43:21 Diabetes and Dietary Choices 49:55 Exploring Different Diets: What Works for You? 51:57 The Blue Zones: Lessons in Longevity 56:25 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Sponsors of the Podcast: BetterHelp: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://betterhelp.com/ez10⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for 10% off your first month of therapy WeShape: https://weshape.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/dcfogwyuk?a_aid=FurkhanDandia&a_bid=d7508fa8 for 35% all plans.

    Navigating Life, Relationships, and Self-Care

    In this episode of the EZ Conversations podcast, we are joined by Haven, a podcaster and entrepreneur from Los Angeles, who shares her journey and insights on balancing family life, career, and self-care. Haven delves into her entrepreneurial venture running a virtual assistance company and the genesis of her podcast, 'Haven,' which addresses societal issues, relationships, and personal growth. The discussion covers the importance of self-care, marriage and parenting dynamics, balancing multiple roles, and dealing with societal pressures. Haven's authentic storytelling and practical advice offer listeners a relatable and insightful experience. Haven has always been an inquisitive person. She was the kid who would ditch her family and go to the front of the tour group to learn all she could from the guide. Now she's been married to her high school sweetheart for 12 years and has two kids who have morphed her Instagram into their fan account page, but that quest to learn never went away. Most recently, she enjoys taking popular topics and dissecting them over a matcha latte with her girlfriends, but now she records those conversations in podcast form in her show "Haven!" Topics from relationships (is it expected to fight over how forks go in a dishwasher every day of my life?), parenting (how can I "gentle parent" while being physically assaulted by my toddler?), body image (are we botoxing now??) and spirituality (do I still hold my same beliefs I did 10 years ago?) are all on the table to be looked at, explored, turned over, and welcomed. She won't necessarily find the answers but truly believes the questions hold the power.  02:50 Introduction and Guest Background 03:49 Family Life and Work Balance 05:34 Starting a Podcast Journey 06:43 Navigating Viral Content 09:25 Societal Issues and Body Image 15:14 Balancing Career and Family 22:27 Self-Care and Personal Growth 24:30 Understanding and Vocalizing Needs 25:31 Navigating Relationship Expectations 27:31 Balancing Responsibilities and Communication 32:36 The Importance of Conflict in Relationships 34:49 The Trend of Self-Care and Its True Meaning 37:38 Personal Reflections on Self-Care 43:43 Audience Engagement and Content Focus 49:55 Concluding Thoughts and Where to Find More Sponsors of the Podcast: BetterHelp: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://betterhelp.com/ez10⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for 10% off your first month of therapy WeShape: https://weshape.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/dcfogwyuk?a_aid=FurkhanDandia&a_bid=d7508fa8 for 35% all plans.

    Debating Capitalism and Socialism

    In this episode of the EZ Conversations podcast, Furkhan and guest Elsie Gilmore dive into the contentious debate between capitalism and socialism. Elsie shares her unique perspective, shaped by her upbringing on a small dairy farm in Vermont and her deep interest in environmental and social issues. She discusses capitalism's flaws and merits, focusing on exploiting workers and natural resources. The conversation also covers practical examples, such as the housing crisis and wage disparity in the U.S., and explores potential solutions like a blend of socialist principles. Elsie emphasizes the power of collective consumer action and the need for systemic change to address social and economic inequalities. Despite the challenges, she remains hopeful about the future, driven by her belief in the potential for human cooperation and innovation. Elsie Gilmore, author of How to Find Joy in a Capitalist Hellscape, holds a master’s degree in environmental law and policy from Vermont Law School. She is known for her environmental activism, including civil disobedience, and was arrested at the White House in 2011 as part of Tar Sands Action. She also conducts social experiments involving talking to and hugging strangers and advocates for environmental protection and fundamental human rights. Elsie began her writing journey when the internet was a toddler and hasn’t stopped since. Her work includes various personal and professional blogs, a column for the Rutland Herald, participation in several radio shows, and her current weekly Substack publication, Sunday Mornings in Bed. Described as “that lady who will not stop talking,” Elsie’s voice is persistent and passionate. With a twenty-year career as a web developer and the founder of Women With Moxie, a women’s networking company, Elsie has worn many hats, from Vermont farm girl to multi-business owner and now a published author. 04:07 Introduction and Podcast Welcome 05:07 Guest Introduction: Elsie Gilmore 06:54 Understanding Capitalism and Its Impact 08:27 Housing Crisis and Corporate Influence 10:31 Inflation and Corporate Profits 12:03 Consumer Power and Social Division 13:33 Wage Issues and Economic Inequality 17:04 Healthcare Systems: A Comparative Discussion 19:16 Taxation and Wealth Distribution 25:01 Corporate Influence on Politics 27:05 Socialism vs. Capitalism: Finding a Balance 33:55 Environmental Concerns and Sustainability 41:45 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Sponsors of the Podcast: BetterHelp: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://betterhelp.com/ez10⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for 10% off your first month of therapy WeShape: https://weshape.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/dcfogwyuk?a_aid=FurkhanDandia&a_bid=d7508fa8 for 35% all plans.
