    Brain Retraining for Chronic Conditions with Ashok Gupta

    Brain Retraining for Chronic Conditions with Ashok Gupta

    How can brain retraining treat chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and long COVID?


    In this episode, Ashok Gupta, a leader in alternative medicine, discusses the power of brain retraining for managing chronic conditions. By retraining the brain to differentiate between real threats and benign stimuli, individuals can alleviate symptoms and restore balance. 


    Ashok explains how psychological, neurological, and immunological factors work together, highlighting the gut-brain axis and the immune system's crucial role in health. He challenges the limited focus on gut health alone, advocating for a more comprehensive approach that recognizes the brain's ability to regulate immune responses.


    Ashok dives deeper with the concept of neuroimmune conditioned syndromes, a group of chronic conditions with shared underlying mechanisms. Gupta then unveils promising results from clinical trials of the Gupta Program, a brain retraining method designed to improve symptoms and quality of life for patients with CFS, fibromyalgia, and long COVID.


    Learn how you can potentially reduce hypersensitivity, address immune system dysfunction, and regain control of your chronic illness! Tune in now!

    The Answer to the Global Food Crisis: Regenerative Agriculture w/ Nicole Masters

    The Answer to the Global Food Crisis: Regenerative Agriculture w/ Nicole Masters

    The global food crisis necessitates innovative solutions, and regenerative agriculture stands out as a promising approach. Regenerative agriculture prioritizes soil health, biodiversity, and symbiotic relationships between crops and the environment. It seeks to rejuvenate ecosystems, moving beyond conventional farming practices.


    In this episode, Nicole Masters is an independent agroecologist, pattern thinker, author and educator. For over 2 decades, Nicole has been recognized as a knowledgeable and dynamic speaker on the topic of soil health and leadership. Nicole unravels the profound connections between plants, fungi, and soil, shedding light on the transformative benefits of regenerative farming practices that shape healthy ecosystems.


    Nicole talks about the fascinating realm of natural insect control within healthy soils.  She explains how plants employ fungal networks to absorb nitrogen from deceased insects, creating a natural and efficient insect control system. However, this balance is disrupted when soils undergo compaction, leading to the loss of these beneficial fungal partnerships.


    We explore the role of entomopathogenic fungi, such as cordyceps, and their nutrient-scavenging abilities. Nicole advocates for homemade seed treatments, empowering individuals to take charge of their soil health and reduce dependence on chemical solutions. She also discusses herbicide use, encouraging a thoughtful examination of the "why" behind its application, and proposes strategies like buffering herbicides with food to decrease usage and address herbicide resistance.


    Focusing on the dual role of fulvic and humic acids, she discusses the significance in human health to their impact on soil health. Nicole highlights their binding capabilities and how they enhance nutrient uptake in plants, ultimately reducing the need for excessive fertilizers.

    Highlights:
    What  influenced Nicole to her current work in soil health and agriculture.Health crisis caused by chemical exposure The importance of removing chemicals from the food chainNicole’s intention behind writing her book about understanding soil dynamicsThe current crisis in agriculture and the need to rebuild and protect the soilBiodiversity in soil health and the role of viruses, parasites, and fungi in cultivating healthy soilSignificance of ground cover and aggregation in soil health and how they contribute to the overall health of the ecosystemSteps and approaches to remediate soilSuggestions and tips for individuals starting on a small scale to improve soil health

    What's on the Horizon with Dr Judy Mikovitz PhD

    What's on the Horizon with Dr Judy Mikovitz PhD

    This is a recording of an interview done with myself and Church and State Podcast at the ReAwaken Tour in December 2023, backstage with Dr Judy Mikovitz.  Dr J is one of the forefront leaders in the health freedom movement being banned, dismantled, ridiculed, followed and even incarcerated for speaking the truth about research she did at the National Cancer Institute.

    Even admist some of the darkest times that no one should ever have to go through, she still continues to fight and speak the truth about real scientific research and how so many are being lied to.  She is not only a brilliant scientist, but also believes in the truth of God.  She has partnered up with her Godson who created Light Dove Ministries, a healing center, which you will hear her talk about in this episode. Light Dove was birthed to provide safe access to therapies that heal and restore the body to equilibrium, or balance. The current Western medicine and healthcare system is riddled with corruption and massive conflicts of interest including economic incentives to prescribe dangerous therapies that have been shown to harm. Profit has taken priority above patient care, and Light Dove Ministries serves to place its members back at the center of the health continuum.


    It's been a few years since the release of Plandemic, and we wanted to catch up with what Dr J has been up to, more of her research, and hope/resources for the future.

    Restoring Nasal Breathing with Dr Adam Del Torto

    Restoring Nasal Breathing with Dr Adam Del Torto

    The importance of nasal breathing in maintaining optimal health cannot be overstated. 
    In this episode, Dr. Adam Del Torto, the founder of the Cranial Facial Release technique, highlights how his innovative approach mobilizes the cranial system to restore proper breathing passageways. By addressing fixations and torque within the 22 individual bones of the skull, Dr. Adam aims to alleviate neurological disorders and optimize brain function. Unlike conventional treatments, CFR tackles the root cause of issues rather than merely treating symptoms. 
    Dr. Richard Stober's balloon nasal specific technique and Dr. Adam's CFR approach offer promising alternatives. We also discuss contraindications, compelling case studies, and training opportunities for doctors interested in this groundbreaking technique. Visit www.cranialfacialrelease.com, a valuable resource for patients and doctors, and invites practitioners to explore the potential of this game-changing method.

Life Transforming

We found Dr. Hamel through a friend and we are so thankful for her wisdom about naturally healing the body- mentally, physically, and spiritually. Both of our kids have gone to her for over a year for adjustments and we saw a huge shift, especially in our son’s attention and focus. These podcasts have been very informative in our everyday lifestyle, and the changes we have implemented have transformed our lives and health. I highly recommend listening to these to gain wisdom into healthier living and to transform your life. if you’re in San Diego and able to be seen her, 100% make it happen. You won’t regret it!

Double vision

I had a bad fall on Thanksgiving day 2021, dancing with my 4-year old nephew. I felt it radiate all the way to my skull and within a matter of days, I suddenly had double vision. It was a real struggle for the next few months. My husband was driving me everywhere including to work and back every day. As a result of my double vision, about 6 months later, I took a bad fall down the stairs and crushed my rotary cuff and had to have surgery. Then a friend told me she had also experienced double vision many years prior and was healed by a cranial chiropractor. (whom had now passed). I had never heard of such a thing! I immediately went online to research and found Dr. Hamel. I went to her for about 5-6 visits. She was amazing and I am happy to say, my vision returned to normal after visit 4. I am so thankful. God bless you Dr Hamel.
