158 – Final episode, official narrative collapse with Omicron, mental growth, resilience, eudaemonia
January 27, 2022 14:04 - 1 hour - 43.5 MBThe wave of covid cases of the omicron variant continues to spread worldwide, and the covid-19 vaccines (and boosters) clearly aren’t preventing infection and spread of it. Only one kind of monoclonal antibody treatment, Sotrovimab by GlaxoSmithKline, tends to be effective against this variant, though it’s in short supply. Vitamin D levels need to be …
157 – Pandemic of centralized control and coercion, vaccination aspiration issue, decentralized nutritional health
November 03, 2021 02:02 - 1 hour - 41.4 MBThe pandemic restrictions continue to stress people around the globe. Ubiquitous, cheap testing for individuals is still not being offered, though some rapid-antigen tests have become available (at higher prices). Speculations about SARS2 originating from the Wuhan bat coronavirus lab gain more evidence. The mainstream perspective on covid-19 vaccine safety has continued to neglect those …
156 – Delta variant issues and covid-19 vaccines, ivermectin and nanobodies as solutions, integrating trauma instead of reliving it
September 06, 2021 17:16 - 1 hour - 44.3 MBCentralized, top-down organizations continue to forward vaccines at the exclusion of viable solutions, regardless of costs. Higher viral load found with Delta variant of SARS2. Israel evidenced more breakthroughs in vaccinated persons; booster shots seem to provide further immunity. FDA approves the Pfizer vaccine beyond the EUA designation, with long-term safety data still yet to …
155 – Ills of authoritarianism, Covid-19 vaccine controversies, ivermectin for prevention and treatment
July 30, 2021 17:59 - 59 minutes - 40.9 MBThe CCP in China remains opposed to any thorough investigations of the origins of SARS2, which isn’t surprising given the nature of that domination system. Joe Rogan had an “emergency podcast” about nonsensical YouTube take-downs, public health corruption and controversies, and ivermectin. Governmental systems such as the FDA and its Emergency Use Authorization for Covid-19 …
154 – Detrimental corporate farming, vegan dogma, YouTube take-downs and crime of the century
June 24, 2021 22:07 - 50 minutes - 34.9 MBRiffing on the last episode with Robb Wolf, we explore more of the misguided perspectives of the corporate-model of farming and ranching, followed by the viable and sustainable solutions to providing nutrient-rich food for humans. While the vegan, or anti-meat, agenda has a multiplicity of mistaken notions, some aspects of it do recognize major problems …
153 – Longevity, the human condition, Sacred Cow, and viable food solutions with guest Robb Wolf
May 31, 2021 02:55 - 1 hour - 44.2 MBReturning guest (from 11yrs ago!..linked below) Robb Wolf is author of The Paleo Solution, Wired To Eat, and co-author of Sacred Cow. We discuss the nature of futurism and how increased longevity, even indefinite lifespans, will likely remain in the realm of science fiction, due to the complexity of biological systems, especially the human brain. …
152 – Vaccines and covid-19 research, best solutions, healthy eating and nurturing self-relationship
May 11, 2021 11:56 - 27 minutes - 16 MBVaccine development and vaccinations for covid-19 continue, as the pandemic massively affects India. Hopefully intranasal vaccines, as explained in episode 150, will come to market sooner rather than later. The coronavirus spike protein has been shown to damage tissues, and scientists note that covid-19 is primarily a vascular disease. Apparently, despite some controversy (see in …
151 – FDA impeding pandemic solutions, nature of dieting, costly dietary guidelines, keto treats
April 20, 2021 09:00 - 21 minutes - 12.5 MBWhile the Olympics in Tokyo are scheduled this summer, only the athletes and local spectators will be allowed entry. Japan’s vaccine rollout has been minimal thus far. In America there’s a chance that covid-19 tests will become available over the counter, though still via the command-and-control FDA process. Author of a new book called Just …
150 – Covid testing, nasal spray vaccines, trust and self-empowerment instead of hierarchical control
April 03, 2021 23:52 - 50 minutes - 34.9 MBCan “immunity bubbles” be created through testing? It depends on the nature of the rapid-antigen tests being used and whether they are able to detect asymptomatic infectious persons. Clearly, not using a bottom-up approach to implement widespread and cheap testing has caused more pandemic problems and costly governmental reactions. Relatedly, with nearly all the focus …
149 – Catching up with Kevin, doughnut-related issues, keto-carnivore-ish blood readings from labs
March 10, 2021 23:33 - 1 hour - 46.6 MBIn this episode Kevin joins in the fun! In addition to addressing healthy blood test results, we discuss a range of issues, from the seeming slow pace of anti-aging biotech (Aubrey de Grey!), the misguided trend of veganism and ongoing false nutritional information, to mistaken notions of empathy within domination systems (such as governmental schooling). …
148 – Questioning dogmatic pronouncements and propaganda, weight-loss remedies, sunlight benefits
February 19, 2021 06:29 - 36 minutes - 25.2 MBOnce again, we need widespread rapid antigen testing (for all individuals, not just “authorized” clinics) and engineered nanobodies (AeroNabs) and lipopeptides to end the pandemic. Of course, governmental restrictions and vaccinations are being provided instead, which represent the top-down organizational model that presumes to be in charge of “public health.” Unsurprisingly, this flawed model has …
147 – Challenging common mistaken assumptions in the nutritional realm, once again
January 30, 2021 10:58 - 26 minutes - 18.2 MBIn this episode we explore the realm of medical and nutritional dogmas, which we’ve of course covered in the past, yet they continue to mislead and prevent helpful strategies. Turns out, sitting is not the new smoking; occasional movement is key to preventing inflammation. Strength training as we age can forestall sarcopenia. Apparently, before the …
146 – Metabolic Health Conference, developmental questions by Nathaniel Branden
January 14, 2021 08:30 - 21 minutes - 14.5 MBIn this shorter episode we note the upcoming low-carb conference (online), which will offer a lot of useful information about achieving metabolic health and well-being. Our physical health remains vital as the pandemic continues, since governments are still hindering highly useful decentralized solutions (namely, inexpensive rapid antigen tests and engineered antivirals). I then list all …
145 – Medical establishment problems, rapid antigen tests, personal empowerment amidst domination systems
December 29, 2020 10:32 - 58 minutes - 40.2 MBIn this episode to round out 2020, we focus on a way to end the pandemic via making cheap rapid antigen tests widely available to individuals (sans prescriptions), so everyone can be informed and empowered (instead of being told what to do by so-called “authorities”). Unfortunately, the medical establishment tends to resemble an unhealthy system …
144 – Aerosolized nanobodies, RNA vaccines, institutional problems, beef for health, non-sacrificial ethics
December 10, 2020 00:43 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MBAmidst the highest number of SARS cov-2/covid-19 cases in America and tragic fatalities during the pandemic, potent antivirals from UCSF (YT link below) and Columbia, for instance, could end the needless suffering and restrictions rather quickly. Meanwhile, RNA vaccines tend to be the main focus by institutions, both corporate and governmental; such top-down structures sacrifice …
143 – Lipopeptides and nanobodies as pandemic solutions, nature of gender and need for self-esteem
November 22, 2020 06:05 - 30 minutes - 21 MBWe’re of course still being challenged by the pandemic and the fear-based and control-ridden responses to it by governments. The tragic Covid-19 fatalities are still considerably lower than during the 1918 Spanish flu, yet so much fear, suffering, and death can be stopped by widespread distribution and use of ingenious, potent antiviral inhalers (links provided …
142 – Nanobodies for resolving the pandemic, perspectives on sexuality and violence, boundaries, bodily integration
November 06, 2020 09:42 - 20 minutes - 13.8 MBTreating our bodies well with optimal nutrition (lower carb/keto, Primal/Paleo/Carnivorish) can help a lot during this trying pandemic. Engineered nanobodies, which are both relatively inexpensive and easy to produce, are being reported on more now, since UCSF promoted AeroNabs unprecedented potency against SARS CoV-2 (way more potent than vaccines, and potentially safer). Let’s hope they …
141 – Pandemic updates, nature of mistakes and moralistic cycles, fostering mindsight
October 22, 2020 09:29 - 33 minutes - 23 MBThe governmentally imposed restrictions during the pandemic have taken a major toll on people’s health and well-being. Updated scientific information reveals that contact with surfaces exposed to this coronavirus aren’t as much of a risk as airborne particles. Once again, AeroNabs and possibly other synthetic peptides can serve as ingeniously potent PPE to end the …
140 – Covid-19 treatments, still needing AeroNabs, emotional expression and mindsight
October 07, 2020 03:59 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MBWe cover the latest in the Covid-19 saga, including Trump’s treatments, which appear to assist in recovery. Once again, the coercive organization known as the FDA stands in the way of companies bringing potentially helpful products and services to market, as customers desire. While vaccine development is ongoing, many questions remain about its long-term efficacy. …
139 – Dealing with fear, cultivating relaxed, confident benevolence, and rupture-repair work
September 22, 2020 03:23 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MBAs America reaches a (reported) death toll of 200,000 from Covid-19, we still need bottom-up solutions such as AeroNabs to be highlighted by the media and brought to market. There’s still some hope for that in the video linked below. Cultivating an attitude of relaxed, confident benevolence is a real psychological challenge for parents as …
138 – Pandemic solutions from the bottom up, can-do spirit, repairing connection ruptures
September 07, 2020 19:23 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MBOnce again, bringing AeroNabs to market needs to be prioritized along with ubiquitous testing (including at home), so society can return to some semblance of normalcy. Top-down command-and-control institutions hinder this process and thwart new innovations and their implementation. America needs to revitalize its bottom-up can-do spirit! We can honor our capacity for achievement and …
137 – AeroNabs to bring the pandemic to a close, valuing ourselves, fostering coherence
August 22, 2020 20:24 - 36 minutes - 25.1 MBAs this coronavirus pandemic and the varying governmental restrictions drag on (still with inadequate personal testing and problematic contact tracing), many still hope for an effective (and safe) vaccine to get us out of this mess. However, scientists at UCSF have recently created a much easier, cheaper, and safe way: an antiviral treatment that totally …
136 – Healthy nutrition during a pandemic, inner and interpersonal repair work
August 05, 2020 23:37 - 19 minutes - 13.4 MBMany months into this pandemic, we’re still experiencing the unfortunate effects of coercive systems trying to deal with the spread of sars cov2. These systems not only can create backlash, but they also forestall adequate testing (both molecular and serological). So, in the meantime wear masks in crowded places and maintain your nutritional health and …
135 – Keto conference online, dealing with fear and trauma, and reparenting ourselves
July 21, 2020 00:27 - 20 minutes - 14 MBThe Low-Carb San Diego Keto Conference is happening online next month, which will offer lots of helpful information about nutrition and health, something especially vital during this ongoing pandemic. On the psychological side of life, be sure to check out the talks below by two prominent trauma researchers. Since we are biological beings, fear is …
134 – Cultivating healthy minds, Self-fullness, dietary guidelines, guilt and coherent narratives
July 06, 2020 23:14 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MBTo cultivate healthy minds, we need to achieve clarity about a lot of systemic issue. As we do, we can actualize our potential, seeking to meet needs for enriching connection, intrinsically motivating purpose, and profound meaning. Unfortunately, our culture largely promotes an ethics of sacrifice, so integrating one’s authentic Self can be challenging amidst ideas …
133 – Empathy distribution, psychedelic movement issues arising from domination systems
June 20, 2020 15:50 - 45 minutes - 31.1 MBWe really need systems involving free minds and free markets to remedy the unjust systems that continue to diminish people’s lives and well-being throughout society. Power-over strategies tragically run deep in present systems, from families to governments. Empathetic understanding remains vital, along with the pillars of self-esteem, as well as Teal organizational practices. Domination systems …
132 – Understanding domination thinking and systems amidst crises, cultivating potentialities
June 06, 2020 16:40 - 43 minutes - 29.7 MBIn times of major societal stress, like today, it’s vital to practice self-acceptance, self-empathy, and self-compassion. Currently, America is trying to make sense of and deal with systemic injustices involving racism that stem from the time of slavery. Needs for respect, choice, and justice have been sacrificed. The punishment paradigm remains a major deleterious factor. …
131 – Organizational hindrances to pandemic recovery, voluntary solutions, self-worth integration
May 19, 2020 18:49 - 43 minutes - 25 MBIn this episode we explore facets of problematic organizations and their need to transform, so pandemics and a multiplicity of other challenges can be effectively dealt with, minimizing harm to individuals and businesses. The FDA remains detrimental to widespread testing for covid19, hindering more informed decision-making and innovation (until then, masks, vitamin D, eating low-carb …
130 – Testing options, psychedelic journeys into self and reality, steep price of punishment
May 01, 2020 00:20 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MBAs the pandemic continues, we are still waiting for availability of at-home testing (both molecular and serological), which will be able to shine a vital light for people to make sound decisions (instead of just following governmental orders). Throughout most of this episode, I explain aspects of my psilocybin-assisted therapeutic experiences, connecting to self and …
129 – Pandemic problems, nature of authority, trust and collaboration, respect and authenticity
April 17, 2020 00:35 - 37 minutes - 25.6 MBFrom America, various aspects of the pandemic are explored, including how a free and responsible society would effectively deal with it. This contrasts with what we’ve been experiencing in terms of top-down controls and conflicting edicts in the absence of adequate testing. The FDA is a governmental organization that reflects fundamental distrust in biotech scientists, …
128 – Pandemic and crucial testing, cultivating love and attachment ABCs
March 31, 2020 19:40 - 14 minutes - 10.3 MBMore about the pandemic in this shorter show, including the necessity of thorough coronavirus testing that can allow most people to resume their normal lives. Wearing masks is an important part of the prevention process, as the Asians have been demonstrating (as well as the Americans during the 1918 influenza pandemic). The questions about feeling …
127 – Pandemic issues, personal health focus, attachment repairs, and visibility
March 17, 2020 12:10 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MBMore overview of the coronavirus impact, sadly. Ubiquitous and fast testing (and mask-wearing) needs to be a priority, instead of shutting down commerce and societal functioning for an arbitrary or indefinite time. Risks increase with uncertainty about who’s infected, and typical unhealthy dietary and life habits augment this (smoking is still a major thing in …
126 – Coronavirus, mortality, achievements of ancient Greece, consideration and dignity
February 29, 2020 20:27 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MBGreetings again from Athens. In covering more tragic stories about the coronavirus, we explore the nature of mortality and then early Ionia, essentially what the artists created and philosophers developed. Our brains give rise to immense conceptual capacity and self-reflection, which yielded the exquisite artwork and thought in ancient Greece. Yet, being in survival mode …
125 – Coronavirus, systemic medical-care problems, self-care and humor sans humiliation
February 15, 2020 20:36 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MBAfter covering various issues surrounding the coronavirus, we explore ways that modern medicine has been falling short for patients in particular and humanity in general. Science journalist John Horgan noted key points from a recent book titled Medical Nihilism by Jacob Stegenga, which are as follows: medical research is slanted toward positive results; more rigorous …
124 – Cultural themes, sound nutrition and sustainability, need for trust
January 27, 2020 02:35 - 19 minutes - 13.2 MBAfter covering some recent news from Hong Kong and an another recap of experiences in lovely Japan, we delve into some more nutritional notions. Regarding sustainability, we can maintain biological systems on our wondrous planet without dispensing with evidence and principles of our ancestral health. Finally, regarding Branden’s question, we need to transform the current …
123 – Sorting various facts from fictions in the culture and dietary-advice world
January 11, 2020 02:07 - 36 minutes - 24.8 MBAfter covering more enjoyable experiences in Japan, both foodie and cultural, some historical tragedies and modern legal system problems are explored, which underscore the need for respect, restorative justice, and more evolved human organizations (Teal). We then delve into some recent articles concerning modern nutrition and dietary advice. As usual, the mainstream content comes with …
122 – Issues involving obesity, nutritional, developmental, and cultural
December 25, 2019 22:49 - 33 minutes - 23 MBHappy holidays, from Japan. In this episode I cover the worldwide problem of childhood obesity and nutritional deficiencies, which is related to what the nutrition establishment has been advising over the years. There’s been a lot of confusion about what is healthy to eat. Using coercion to ban and tax substances doesn’t deal with the …
121 – Free Hong Kong, ACEs, and a rational, predictable, and intelligible world
December 12, 2019 01:33 - 24 minutes - 16.5 MBFreedom for Hong Kong! :) If we don’t focus on what ails us, in terms of developmental trauma, we’ll tend to relive it. So, it’s vital to recognize and be mindful of the impact of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and, just as importantly, to work on remedying the various causes of them. Autonomy wars persist …
120 – Show reboot and highlights from 2yr hiatus
November 25, 2019 06:30 - 36 minutes - 25 MBGreetings! The podcast is finally up and running once again, after aging for a couple years like a big block of sharp cheddar. ;) Wes is solo this go-round, and I cover a variety of topics in this episode, ranging from psychological conferences I attended and world travels. A burgeoning point of light in the …
119 – Liberation from shame pathways
November 23, 2017 22:54 - 43 minutes - 30.2 MB(duration 43:57) We’re finally back in the saddle (apologies for the delay!). As we’ve let the show age like a fine primal wine, we share news that Kevin is departing and that Wes will continue solo (sometimes w/ guests) for at least the next year. In this episode we explore parts of a couple informative …
118 – Facets of shame
September 07, 2017 22:06 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MB(duration 42:58) After covering Kev’s summer travels in Europe, in our second episode about shame we discuss the various aspects of shame and guilt. Since shame is the opposite of self-esteem, “healthy shame” isn’t really possible. Both shame and guilt are tragic ways to assess oneself and one’s actions (as well as others), which stem …
117 – Origins of shame
July 31, 2017 21:54 - 45 minutes - 31.6 MB(duration 45:59) This is the first episode in our series on the nature of shame. After outlining the basic aspects of shame (i.e., the belief and sense that one is unworthy or flawed in some irredeemable way), we note that its antithesis is self-esteem; so, practicing the six pillars is vital. Shame mainly originates in …
116 – Self-leadership
April 12, 2017 02:18 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MB(duration 30:09) In this episode we offer a summary of the nature of internal critical parts via the Internal Family Systems perspective. They can be viewed from the standpoint of managing exiled wounded aspects of us that got overwhelmed or harmed a long time ago. In turn, when others are critical of us and our …
115 – The inner controller
March 19, 2017 23:59 - 23 minutes - 16.3 MB(duration 23:43) The seventh and last inner critic we discuss is the inner controller, which tries to control various impulses and choices that might lead to ill effects, although it lacks trust in one’s biological drives and desires. The inner controller tends to use harsh strictures and even shaming tactics, which are indicative of developmental …
114 – The taskmaster
March 01, 2017 01:31 - 18 minutes - 12.8 MB(duration 18:39) This time we discuss the kind of inner critic known as the taskmaster, which tries to keep one from being considered mediocre or lazy. It fears failure and thus pushes more and more, and it becomes a lot to live up to, sacrificing needs for ease, comfort, relaxation, inner peace, as well as …
113 – The molder
February 18, 2017 21:53 - 19 minutes - 13.6 MB(duration 19:45) In this episode we delve into the nature of the inner critic called the molder, which is formed early on in our minds, attempting to keep us from being abandoned, punished, shamed and shunned. The rules of authoritarian systems (be they in families, religions, schools, or governments) coupled with the punishment model tend …
112 – The destroyer
January 29, 2017 01:42 - 18 minutes - 12.9 MB(duration 18:42) In this episode we cover the nature of the inner critic identified as the destroyer. We can tragically internalize severe judgments against our self-worth early in life, in family and cultural systems. And this can lead to self-destructive behaviors and nihilism, as well as actions destructive of others and property. Internally, we can …
111 – The underminer
January 11, 2017 03:48 - 20 minutes - 14.1 MB(duration 20:35) In this episode we explore the nature of the underminer, a major aspect of inner critic that directly diminishes self-confidence and self-respect, detracting from a sense of efficacy and worth. Self-trust gets undermined in the process too, and this is fostered by various domination systems, which question our worthiness, don’t honor our choices, …
110 – The guilt-tripper
December 23, 2016 15:06 - 23 minutes - 15.9 MB(duration 23:07) In this episode we delve into the nature of the guilt-tripper, the kind of inner critic that tends to say such things as “You should have done that, instead of this!” or “You shouldn’t have done that—what were you thinking!” This internalized aspect of conditional parenting seeks to keep us informed about how …
109 – The perfectionist
December 08, 2016 18:02 - 15 minutes - 10.6 MB(duration 15:24) As we explore various “inner critics,” we’re basically identifying parts that represent aspects of unhealed developmental trauma. In this episode we cover the voice of the perfectionist, which sets oftentimes unreasonable standards and expectations that don’t allow us to live freely with creative ease and peace of mind. Even though doing something “perfectly” …
