Podcast Intro:  Is it possible to drink your own urine and be healthy? The idea of putting something back into the body that the body appears to be discarding may sound weird at first.  But what we don’t know is that drinking urine or “Shivambu” has many benefits. Throughout history, our ancestors have been using urine to treat illnesses and improve their overall health.  In the treatment of chronic diseases, urine therapy has proven to be a highly effective and drug-free alternative. It can be adopted by anyone including young children. The sole ingredient required is a material produced by the body itself and rich in mineral salts, hormones, and other important substances. But how can you ensure that the wastes flushed out with your urine aren’t taken back in? Why is urine regarded as the best tonic available for the immune system? Megan MacDonald is one of the many people that has been doing Urine Therapy. She shares with us how it changed her life and why people should not stigmatize the practice.  Learn

Podcast Intro: Taking medication is a normal part of many people's daily routine, and these medications are used to treat disease and promote health. Although medications can help you feel better and recover, it is vital to understand that all medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, have risks as well as benefits.   The advantages of drugs are the beneficial results they provide when used, such as decreasing blood pressure, curing infection, or relieving pain. But what are the chances that anything unfavorable or unexpected may happen to you if you utilize them? How can you assess the risks and advantages while deciding which medications to use? How can lifestyle change, diet, and medication help you control chronic diseases? When the advantages of treatment outweigh the known hazards, the FDA considers it safe enough to approve. However, before using any medicine, as with many other things you do on a daily basis, you should weigh the benefits and risks in order to make the best decision for you

Podcast Intro: Building a community could be a tough job. Everyone inside the community must have similar interests so you could have a strong relationship with one another. Inside your community, you can engage and help one another and bring impact.  The world can be simplified into two groups: the group that follows their desire and follows the people who know about something they want and the group that doesn’t. Always remember, being with other people helps you grow faster. Being in a community is better than evolving individually. What you’ll get out of tuning in: How to build and transform your community? How does a community evolve faster than individuals? How does goodwill brings the opportunity to make a difference How do you bring your experiences into your family or friendship?

When it comes to meditation, you should know what meditation posture you would be doing. It can be sitting, lying, standing, and walking. There are various types of brainwave states. Beta is defined as an old patterning mind. Meanwhile, theta focuses on a person’s awake state but not particularly you.

Podcast Intro: There's more and more literature coming out of the scientific community around inflammation.

Podcast Intro: Scientism has taken over medicine to the point where most of us aren't even aware of it. When seeking research and validation, we must keep in mind that what we currently refer to as science is the study of disease, not human optimization. People that study consciousness look at physiology from a practical standpoint to see what it can do. There are studies in allopathic medicine that focus on chronic disease, but not in a way that tries to look at the big picture of how humans can be healthy. But rather on how they can produce highly specialized, highly individualized medications to combat the consequences of chronic inflammation. Roman Sieler is a medical anthropologist, wrote a book on marma points, and studied with a yoga sitting Master. Being accepted as a student by a noted guru of the Siddha tradition, Roman was afforded the unique chance to explore a topic shrouded in mystery: the vital spots known as marma in the ayurvedic tradition and as varmam spots among Siddha physicians of South

Podcast Intro: Anything in nature ferments, but people who ferment food are unaware that urine ferments as well. Fermentation of fruits, vegetables, urine, and breast milk is often thought to be harmful. When urine ferments, does it get more powerful?  There's a lot of debate as to why the fermentation of aged urine becomes much more powerful and fresher. The discovery of this medicinal magic that is your own urine is the foundation for health and optimal leaving, the savior of humanity.   In this episode with Harry Matadeen, he will share the benefits of drinking aged urine and studies attempting to support this discovery of the century. Stay tuned as Harry shares with us the whys and hows of using our own perfect medicine and how to stay healthy for the rest of our lives. What you’ll get out of tuning in: How do negative ions serve as a magnet to pull disease out of the body? What are the different types of aged urine? Can aged urine burn mucosal membranes? What are the misconceptions around what's in your

Podcast Intro: In clinical research settings around the world, renewed investigations are taking place on the use of psychedelic substances for treating illnesses such as addiction, depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder.  The microdosing community swears by it, claiming that it has increased creativity, energy, and a sense of well-being, as well as reduced depression levels. However, despite the rise in popularity of microdosing in recent years, there was little scientific data to back up the claims made by microdosers. Although official research into the use of psychedelics to treat mental health disorders is still in its early stages, growing evidence suggests that these drugs may benefit some people with certain symptoms, especially when other treatments have failed. In this episode, Todd Caldecott, medical herbalist and practitioner of Ayurveda for 25 years, talks about emerging research on psychedelics for therapeutic purposes as adjuncts to psychotherapy, counseling for mental illness,

Podcast Intro: Most of us believe that eating three meals a day with a few snacks is the typical, healthy way to eat. But that is not always the case. Human bodies and minds developed to function well in circumstances where food was only available intermittently. In the primitive era, when we examine our ancestors' eating habits, we can see that intermittent fasting was common—but eating three meals a day was not. In fact, Dr. Mark Mattson, a well-known neuroscientist, demonstrates that intermittent fasting is not only normal but also beneficial to our health.  Intermittent fasting has become increasingly fashionable in recent years, and scientists have been studying its long-term implications on physical health. In this episode, Dr. Mark Mattson joins us to talk about his studies on metabolic switching, calorie restriction, and the cognitive benefits of intermittent fasting. He also provides information for physicians and parents, as well as practical guidance on how to follow an intermittent fasting ea

Podcast Intro: Immunity refers to an organism's ability to withstand a specific virus or poison through the use of specialized antibodies or sensitized white blood cells. We prefer to sacrifice healthy selections for the sake of saving time in this fast-paced atmosphere where fast foods are abundant. On the other hand, what are the negative consequences of these actions? With many businesses competing with one another, and with the high demand for food relative to the continuous growth in population, companies are now churning out processed and cheap food rapidly. The lack of education and the rise of daily expenses on necessities, such as food, allowed people to compromise. Now, the pandemic accelerated and made things worse. What are the factors and effects that unhealthy food consumption leads to? Tune in as Dr. Emeran Meyer discusses the gut-immune relationship in this episode. What you’ll get out of tuning in: What is the “One Health Concept” What is the importance of the soil microbiome for plant and h

Podcast Intro: Life is magical, mysterious, and unique but fragile. Humans can easily succumb to external influences and sometimes forget the sense of self and independence. That’s why we experience trauma in our lives. Our fragility and our failure to understand and establish that we are fragile beings are the main reasons we can be corrupted easily. Whether it’s a disease, emotions, decisions, etc., we must learn how to “repair” our spiritual selves. Thus, we must fully understand how our spiritual, religious, and physical life works. We must achieve a higher state of being to help ourselves from being thoroughly affected by harmful external influences. In this episode, Katie Silcox explained how people develop traumas and why it’s important to learn how to repair them. She also explained why humans are intrinsically delicate and how you can incorporate femininity into spiritual practice! Tune in to learn more! What you’ll get out of tuning in: Why does spiritual repair matter and how does it correlate to

Undoubtedly, we live in a time marked by great upheaval and volatility, and all political and business leaders are being forced to cope with rising challenges.  We can see an organization’s place within its surrounding environment, its ecosystem. Suppose we apply living-systems logic to product de

Podcast Intro: Our habits begin with the things that our family does. Eventually, those things are firmly embedded. To truly make a difference requires time, focus, and a shift in energy inwardly. Reconnecting with our bodies is a must.  The process by which behaviors become habitual is known as habit formation. Habits can arise without a person's knowledge, but they can also be cultivated—or eliminated—to better suit one's particular objectives. But how does one go about changing a bad habit? With acclaimed yoga teacher and author Myra Lewis, this episode will discuss how to nourish your holidays through a holistic approach. What you’ll get out of tuning in: How our Habits are influenced by our family and environment How our Perspective in Life is essential to our general well-being How our Negative Thoughts generate negative vibrations into our Bodies Links/CTA: Hale Pule - Ayurveda & Yoga Facebook: Hale Pule Ayurveda and Yoga Instagram: @hale_pule Youtube: @yogaandayurveda Blog: Staying with your Pa

Podcast Intro: Good food warms the souls of those who eat it. Families take joy when good food is served at the table, and it is further magnified when it happens during special occasions. But there is a common misconception about good food, good food means expensive! That’s not true at all!  Anyone with a working kitchen, the right ingredients, and the passion to serve good food at the table can create something spectacular. It is the time of year when people recreate family dishes passed down through the centuries. But what if you were to reimagine how these delicacies are made? Learn how to make healthier versions of your favorite Christmas treats by listening to this podcast! What you’ll get out of tuning in: What are the triggers and rituals of people in the holidays Why it is vital to practice drinking hot water added with spices before eating huge meals How you can reinvent desert to be digestive friendly Why people should enjoy their meals as they should be and not be too complacent with what society

Podcast Intro: When men hear the word yoga, what do they think of? If a guy mentions to his friends that he wants to try yoga, the chances are he’ll receive some strange stares in return.  But like most common misconceptions, the weird looks stem from being uneducated. When it comes to fitness, many guys are uninformed.  The stigma associated with men and fitness has always been the superficial "macho" look from the onset. We've all been conditioned to believe that the aim of a gym is to gain muscle, get stronger, quicker, and fitter. And it’s no secret that most guys think of yoga as a physical activity more suited to women - but who can blame them? It's difficult to avoid being influenced by social media these days. How many men do you notice in yoga advertisements? Quite a few... Until recently. Nowadays, men are gaining more confidence to explore new forms of movement, such as yoga. More people are beginning to exercise for themselves rather than for the sake of society. Now, it’s time to debunk these yog
