We all go through a journey in life where we find ourselves having to prove we “can do it” all the time.

On Desire Versus Intention – Ep. 164
May 20, 2022 07:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MBDesire is the idea of wanting something no matter what; to desire things in life is a natural aspect of human beings, but you might be frustrated if you don’t get the thing that you desire. It almost has a ‘needy’ connotation to it. Intention, on the other hand, suggests a more confident state; you know what you want and the path to get there, but you understand that if it doesn’t happen, it wasn’t meant to be. In this episode of Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade proposes a reflection on...

May 13, 2022 09:30 - 59 minutes - 41.8 MBIn this episode of Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade gives a thorough overview on the process of building muscle while burning fat. This process is doable – research says – but it’s important to know the right way and most importantly: the right variables. The concept of Body Recomposition is different from going through separate ‘phases’ of building muscle and losing fat, commonly known as ‘bulking’ and ‘cutting’. Dr. Jade also explains that it will be easier for beginners to do this, si...
On Freedom and Lies – Ep. 162
May 06, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 43.7 MBNext level humans are always open to debate, are always open to different ideas, and most of all, respect other people’s viewpoints. And one thing that every human being has in common is the right to have an opinion in the first place. But what if all the arguments around this opinion come from a place of misinformation? In the world that we live in, which one has more importance, freedom of speech or the speech itself? Welcome to this week’s episode of Next Level Human Podcast. In this ep...
On Social Interaction and Coaching with Danny Coleman – Ep. 161
April 29, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 47.8 MBWelcome to this week’s episode of Next Level Human Podcast. This week’s topics vary from coaching skills to how to have good communication and social interactions. To explain these ideas, Dr. Jade talks about the concept of The Morpheus Effect, which is basically the idea of someone (a coach, a friend, or a mentor) seeing sort of a hidden purpose (or hidden potential) in someone when even the person doesn’t see it. Featuring this episode we have Danny Coleman, one of Dr. Jade’s oldest frie...
On Bad Breath – Ep. 160
April 22, 2022 07:00 - 43 minutes - 30.9 MBWelcome to this week’s episode of Next Level Human Podcast. This week’s topic is bad breath.

Known as its scientific name – halitosis -, bad breath can manifest due to different health issues. Dr. Jade explains this problem more in depth and shares some ...
On Sharing (Relinquam Amor) – Ep. 159
April 15, 2022 07:00 - 55 minutes - 39.3 MBWe can be special by delivering something special to the world. This is one of the most fundamental concepts that a next level human should be following. Finding purpose throughout life is truly a blessing that we all should be thankful for if we do find it, but passing on this purpose and all its teachings to the world and to a community is what makes us worthy of this blessing in the first place. The good should be shared. In this episode of Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade concludes t...
On Being Human and the Four Jobs – Ep. 158
April 08, 2022 18:09 - 41 minutes - 29.9 MBEarn and manage money. Build and maintain physical health. Give and receive love. Create purpose and meaning. These are the four jobs that every human being should take into account when living the everyday life. These four activities are – or at least should be – the greatest incentives that guide our actions, our thoughts, our behaviors, and how we show up in the world. Without them, nothing flows the right way. In this episode of Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade explains the concept o...
On Engagement and Resolve - Ep. 157
April 01, 2022 07:00 - 43 minutes - 31 MBAs a follow up to the episodes about Perception, Ownership, and Wisdom, today Dr. Jade talks about Engagement and Resolve. When we decide to step out of our old self, or the base level human self, and we finally change our perception, take ownership of how we feel, and acquire wisdom to know how to act differently, it’s time to start engaging in new habits and having resolve to keep moving forward. It’s also important to accept that this entire process – the 6 powers process – is going to ...
On Individualizing Nutrition - Ep. 156
March 25, 2022 07:00 - 34 minutes - 23.8 MBIn this episode of Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade talks about how to set up a personal and individualized nutrition program for yourself without having to abandon foods that you like or other personal preferences. In terms of losing weight (or gaining weight) or even maintaining weight and being more healthy, the only way to do it right is finding out what works best for you. There is no magic pill or magic recipe. Being aware of the amount of calories you need to consume in order to l...
On Death (The Principle of Memento Mori) – Ep. 155
March 18, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBDeath is perhaps the only certainty we have in life. No matter how you have been living your life, who you have been connecting with, or what actions you have been taking, death is coming for you – but it should not be a thing to fear. In fact, we don’t have a problem with death; we have a problem with fearing death, which is why we don’t like to talk about it throughout our lifespan. Remember you must die. In this episode of Next Level Human Podcast, you will listen to a recording session...
On Wisdom – Ep. 154
March 11, 2022 20:01 - 59 minutes - 42 MBOne of the components of finding purpose in life and progressing on the journey of becoming a next level human is acquiring wisdom. But, different from what most people think, wisdom is not just learning new information, reading new books, and acquiring more and more knowledge. Wisdom is also about experiencing what you know and living this knowledge in practice. In this episode of Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade dives deep into the concept of wisdom. As a follow up to the previous epis...
On Ownership – Ep. 153
March 04, 2022 08:00 - 31 minutes - 22.4 MBOur job to be a next level human involves not only wanting to be different, but putting all our effort in being different. Thoughts, actions, and feelings must be aligned with who we want to be, and that is the first rule. Otherwise, there will be two opposite sides, fighting for the chance to coexist. Taking ownership of what we need to change in order to change, is the beginning of achieving this next level. In this episode of Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade talks about this duality. ...
On The Thyroid – Ep. 152
February 28, 2022 08:00 - 49 minutes - 34.1 MBIn this episode of Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade talks about the adrenal and thyroid glands. Our body is in constant flow, and to achieve certain goals, like weight loss for example, it’s a good idea to check some other things besides exercise levels and nutrition. The adrenal and thyroid glands play a huge role in this, and are very affected by other variables like stress, toxins, immune system malfunctioning, etc. The consequences of this negative impact are the well-known mood diso...
On Eating, Tasting, Moving, and Exercise – Ep. 151
February 19, 2022 04:58 - 31 minutes - 22 MBIn this episode of Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade talks about the different metabolic states that humans can go through depending on exercise levels, eating choices (quantity of food and quality of food), and overall daily habits. For instance, the most common practice to lose weight is eating less while exercising more, which can be effective – and it is – but only if used for short periods of time. On the same note, metabolism is also affected by stress levels in the body. Metabolism c...
On Perception and Ayahuasca – Ep. 150
February 11, 2022 20:28 - 1 hour - 48.6 MBIn this episode of Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade takes you through his own experience with Ayahuasca.

In addition, you will also listen to an inspiring discussion on purpose. To find true purpose in life, i...
On Changing Other People – Ep. 149
February 06, 2022 01:42 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBThe need for changing other people in fact comes from a very personal perception that we have of ourselves. ‘Why do I want to make this person come right here where I am?’ That is why it’s so important to look at how we are operating and analyze our own actions and behaviors before even trying to dictate how people around us should operate, and what actions and behaviors they should have. In this episode of Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade talks about the importance of learning from the ...
On Moving Better with Dr. Megan-Marie Delegas - Ep. 148
January 29, 2022 01:50 - 1 hour - 44.1 MBMovement is one of the most fundamental aspects of living a well-balanced lifestyle. People who exercise regularly, or do some kind of mild activity regularly, or do a combination of both, tend to feel better overall. It’s important, however, to understand where we can improve our range of motion and mobility, what are the factors that influence exercise, and how we can get better at moving, in general. In this episode of Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade welcomes Dr. Megan-Marie Delegas ...

On New Years and Change - Ep. 146
January 14, 2022 05:00 - 46 minutes - 32 MBIn this episode of Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade speaks about the concept of true change. In order to leave behind who we currently are and become someone we want to be, it’s common to make a list of changes that need to happen, or habits that we must adopt, or new behaviors we need to reproduce, and just try to implement these things daily. None of these matter, if we don’t change inside. Dr. Jade dives deep into the idea that in order to change, we need to first be the change and re...
On Healing the Inner Child with Jessica Amendola - Ep. 145
January 07, 2022 18:08 - 55 minutes - 38.1 MBIn this episode of Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade and Jessica Amendola discuss the effects of childhood traumas, old wounds, and old memories on the physical body.

According to he...
On the Pandemic - Ep. 144
December 31, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 42.8 MBThe pandemic still is a big source of contrasting ideas and different opinions. The whole world had to have an opinion on whether they were willing to take a vaccine, use a mask, follow all the protocols, etc. These “two sides” make people show their true humanness: Base Level Humans only believe their own opinion; Culture Level Humans care only about their group; Next Level Humans are open to conversation. In this episode of Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade talks about how our personal ...

On Dating and Social Media with Emily Gough – Ep. 142
December 10, 2021 05:00 - 49 minutes - 33.8 MBThe correlation between dating and social media is more curious than you probably think. People who have an impactful presence online can – and should – be honest about their relationships and romantic status, because the way all of us show up online is the way we show up in real life. Our social media profiles are an extension of our day to day actions so they also require a good amount of integrity and transparency. In this episode, Dr. Jade and Emily debate all the kinds of do’s and don...
On Stress Psychology - Ep. 141
December 03, 2021 05:00 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MBWhat is stress in the first place? Stress has two main effects on an individual: a physiological effect and a psychological one. The physiological effect has more well-known symptoms such as irregular breathing, anxious thoughts, feelings of overwhelming, and pretty much anything that throws us off balance. On the other hand, psychological effects include fear, lack of purpose, meaninglessness, and more stress. As a follow up to the previous episode, Dr. Jade debriefs the perception of str...
On Stress - Ep. 140
November 26, 2021 22:57 - 1 hour - 41.7 MBStress is one of the main components that affect our health and metabolism.

It’s also important to try and find solutions or coping mechanisms that will help lower our stress levels. There are a lot of tactics and strategies that can help to manage stress, it’s only a matter of finding what works best for you. In this episode, Dr. Jade talks about stress l...
Age Gap Romance with Emily Gough - Ep. 139
November 19, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 42.9 MBAge gap romances have always been surrounded by a lot of stigma in the eyes of society. People involved in a relationship where one is much older than the other are often more susceptible to the opinions and judgments of someone else. Not only that, there are important factors to be taken into account when starting a relationship like that such as differences between life experiences, specific goals in life, and overall lifestyle. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade a...
Women, Food, and Hormones with Dr. Sara Gottfried - Ep. 138
November 12, 2021 05:00 - 51 minutes - 35.6 MBThe debate around weight loss is a very rich one, with a lot of science-based information being added to it all the time and a lot of practical tips from those who have achieved a personal transformation being offered through social media. Despite the foundation of this topic revolving around caloric deficit and caloric surplus, another vital factor which needs to be taken into account is: metabolism. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade interviews Dr. Sara Gottfried t...
Self Transformation and Relationships with Christine Hassler - Ep. 137
November 05, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 44.1 MBIt’s no secret that our first experiences as a child and the way we expressed feelings at a young age have a major role on how we behave at the present time. Somehow, the patterns we were taught and we reproduced in the past tend to show up consistently if we face similar situations. But how do we get out of this cycle and evolve as a person if we are still the same person? What do we need to do to self-transform and heal? In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade intervie...
The Betrayed and Betrayer with Emily Gough - Ep. 136
October 29, 2021 17:03 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBRelationships are – or at least should be – created and cultivated in the life of two individuals to make all the areas of life easier and more manageable. As long as two people have each other and have a strong bond, the adversities of life become a game for two players. However, when a relationship happens to go through a betrayal, what was supposed to be simple turns into a complex situation, where the two parts (the betrayed and the betrayer) must re-evaluate to understand what happened....
Philosophy of Next Level Human - Ep. 135
October 26, 2021 04:00 - 43 minutes - 30.2 MBThe foundational concept of a Next Level Human can only be understood if these other two concepts are understood as well: Base Level Human and Culture Level Human. The Base Level is always directing his attention to his own desires and the Culture Level maintains his own desires with the acceptance of others, but the Next Level will find his desire only when he finds his purpose. That’s the difference between an individual who, despite adversities, makes an effort to be: true, honest, and se...
Weight Loss Lies with Robert Davis, PhD - Ep. 134
October 15, 2021 04:00 - 52 minutes - 36.1 MBDiet philosophies have become very polarizing in recent years. For instance: veganism and vegetarianism, the paleo diet, intermittent fasting, and counting calories are all eating plans that diverge on what is the best option when it comes to weight loss. While there are true concepts on all of them, there are a lot of myths on them as well. The best approach would be: think beyond diets and see what works for you. Tune in to this episode of the Next Level Human podcast as Dr. Jade talks w...
On Convenience Eating - Ep. 133
October 08, 2021 04:00 - 46 minutes - 32.1 MBHow can convenience foods be part of a sustainable diet? It is well-known that healthy foods are not a simple option for everyone; either they tend to be more expensive or not as practical. For instance, when grocery shopping the healthy sources of clean proteins and carbohydrates are not the average individual's first choice. On the other hand, convenience foods are extremely easy to find, almost always affordable for everyone, and an undemanding solution for busy days. In this episode o...
Confident Detachment with Emily Gough – Ep. 132
October 01, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 48.2 MBJoin Dr. Jade Teta and Emily Gough in this episode of the Next Level Human podcast as they talk about confident detachment and the idea of controlling only what is in our power to control. The concept of confident detachment involves being aware that how you organically show up in a relationship can be different from how other people show up, and managing your expectations about it to not be frustrated is the first step to preserve yourself and your emotions. Emily, who is a Coach, Speaker...

On Connection with Dr. Edward Brodkin - Ep. 130
September 17, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 49 MBHow does human connection relate to being a next level human? Nowadays, our connections with other human beings are the foundation to achieving our next level self. What most people don’t know is that taking care of ourselves first is the initial step to creating meaningful relationships, connecting with other individuals, and truly nurturing those relationships by giving them the attention they deserve. In this episode of the Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade interviews Dr. Edward Brodki...
Nutritional Keystones - Ep. 129
September 10, 2021 04:00 - 33 minutes - 23.2 MBHow do we structure a healthy lifestyle that is easy to attain? What are the 3 things you can focus on TODAY in order to create this healthy lifestyle? Sometimes we pay too much attention to things that don’t really matter. When it comes to nutrition and fitness, it is way easier to focus on a few variables that make a huge difference than to focus on a lot of things that create little change. In this episode of the Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade discusses the importance of having ‘ke...
The Four Existential Crises – Ep. 128
September 03, 2021 04:00 - 43 minutes - 30.2 MBDealing with life events and other human beings along the way really makes us face four critical concerns: freedom, loneliness, meaninglessness, and death. In a way, freedom can be a primal cause for anxiety; loneliness is the natural state in which everyone is born with; meaninglessness is what every individual wants to – or should – avoid by living a purposeful life, and death is the ultimate event that makes us want to leave a legacy. In this episode of the Next Level Human Podcast, Dr....
On Blood Sugar Management with Dr. Mary Kellis - Ep. 127
August 27, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 45.1 MBDiabetes and the complications of it are a major cause of death in the U.S. today. One of the main measures a person can take to prevent diabetes is monitoring and learning how to regulate blood sugar levels. While there are specific types of foods to avoid – or at least to pay attention to – the number #1 action to protect yourself and your health from diabetes is a lifestyle change. In this episode of the Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade talks with Dr. Mary Kellis, Endocrinologist, abo...
On Metaphysics and Magic with Candy Irven - Ep. 126
August 20, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBWe, as humans, are energetic beings: we can feel other people’s energy, we can sense energy emanating from certain environments, we can step into a different type of energy if we feel the need to, and we can manifest all kinds of energies for our life – even without realizing it. We are also receivers of the universe’s energy and it’s our job to learn how to interpret it, convert it into our own inner guide, and fully take advantage of this unseen power. In this episode of the Next Level H...
Covid Update: Science, Vaccine and Variants - Ep. 125
August 13, 2021 04:00 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MBMore than one and a half years have passed since the world began facing a contagious and unknown virus; not only affecting people’s health conditions, but also people’s opinions on several matters. The debate now is about pros and cons of taking the vaccine or not taking the vaccine for this virus. While part of society trusts in science and looks only at the data, the other half believes that being immune goes way beyond simply taking a vaccine shot. In this episode of the Next Level Huma...
Continuous Glucose Monitoring with Dr. Casey Means - Ep. 124
August 06, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 47.9 MBIn this day and age it is crucial to know how well we can take care of our bodies and which markers we can look into in order to do that.

Learning how to optimize and understand our glucose levels is one step further to living a better life. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade talks with Dr. Case...
On Branding & Marketing - Ep. 123
July 30, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 45.3 MBThe key aspect of high level success in your online business is to recognize what problem you are trying to solve and constantly work towards the solution.

In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade gives you a complete guide ...
On Pain & Purpose with Matthew Paetz - Ep. 122
July 23, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 45.3 MBPainful experiences and traumas should not be seen and treated as a competition between two individuals. At an emotional level, no one suffered more than the other. Everybody is equal in their pain and we should use the experience to, in fact, connect and inspire. What other use could possibly be given to pain if not making it the incentive to purpose? In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade sits down with Matthew Paetz to have an inspiring conversation about pain, pu...
On Calories - Ep. 121
July 16, 2021 07:00 - 59 minutes - 40.8 MBIn today’s episode, Dr. Jade gives you an overview on calories, how they work and how they impact fat loss practices. While calories can be worked simply by counting them with a food calculator app, it’s important to know yourself first and pay attention to how your body and metabolism uniquely function. How we want to be looking at calories is: they are energy and should be treated alongside a sustained diet. Dr. Jade also explains the difference between portions of food and the energ...
What Workout Should I Do? - Ep. 120
July 09, 2021 07:00 - 39 minutes - 27.1 MBWhen we think about starting a fat loss process, the first thing that comes to mind is: “I should exercise more.” This concept has been a staple in the fitness industry for years, which makes it an incontestable truth to many. However, in terms of a fat loss phase, more recent research reveals that exercise programs work less than we think they do: it’s fundamental to maintain a weight loss phase, but not very useful if you’re just getting started. In this episode of the Next Level Hum...
On Emotional Freedom - Ep. 119
July 03, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 41.7 MBWe are entirely responsible for our emotions. In fact, our feelings and behaviors are the only aspects of life we can fully control. However, in order for that to be true, we must detach ourselves from expecting, supposing, and assuming. By following this practice and trying not to make assumptions we find emotional freedom. But aren’t assumptions the way we respond to the world? In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade points out that “emotions are like road signs, al...
Living Metabolic Putting the Metabolism First - Ep. 118
June 25, 2021 08:14 - 53 minutes - 36.9 MBWhen it comes to what is healthy and what is not people tend to go to extremes. With so many opinions out there, we forget to look to our “inner guide”: the metabolism. Our metabolism is speaking to us all the time, but we have a hard time listening to it and because human beings are so different from one another; listening to it matters. In this episode of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade takes the topic of metabolism to the next level! Living a metabolic life – meaning: letting...
