The Health Accomplice

People are having incredible experiences doing breathwork -- experiences that include feeling high, having visions of past memories, healing physical and emotional pain, and finding a sense of peace and joy. There are a lot of people who are turning to modalities such as ayahuasca, mushrooms, and DMT to explore their subconscious for deeper healing and clarity. But can we achieve these same benefits from breathwork? We discuss this topic with Lisa D'Auria, a former athlete, current engineer, and breathework coach.

Hi, I’m Aleks and I’m a recovering coffee addict. I savored this morning ritual and looked forward to it each day for years. However, when  I started experiencing health issues such as chronic fatigue and brain fog, I decided to end my relationship due to the negative impact coffee had on these things.  It took me a while to listen and I dragged it on for way too long, but now standing on the other side of it, I wish I had listened sooner. I take you through this journey in this episode. Here’s what we’ll cover: :

• Reasons why I gave up coffee: I was experiencing gut issues and hormonal imbalance that manifested as chronic fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and sinus issues

How coffee negatively contributes to these health issues: 

• It is a stimulant and is taxing on your nervous system and can lead to anxiety
• It stimulates your adrenals and can lead to adrenal fatigue
• It raises blood pressure
• Conventional coffee can contain molds and/or lots of toxins like herbicides and fungicides which can disrupt your endocrine system (aka cause lots of hormonal imbalances like acne, moodiness, infertility, etc)
• Coffee contains a protein that can be misread by your body as gluten. If you’re gluten sensitive and/or experiencing gut issues, this is a problem!
  

Wellness and spirituality seem to be an industry dominated by women. However its important to our evolution to make it more accessible and to normalize it for men. Vince and Kelly are doing just that with their work -- they are both coaches who work with men on their journeys to self discovery. 

Vince Luciani, a lifetime athlete and former CFL and NCAA football coach is the founder of The Legacy Coaching. His mission is to spread the message that your life and legacy are not defined by what you do, they are defined by you. He guides people to give the love and validation they seek from others, directly towards themselves.

Kelly Gee is an Immersive Mindset and Soul Coach, certified in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Emotional Freedom Technique, and is also a Manifestation practitioner. Her mission is to support you on your own journey of self discovery.

In this episode we talk with Dr. Jessica Waldron, a clinical psychologist who works with couples, about attachment theory:

We will learn what it is, where it comes from, and how it impacts our adult relationships. 

We discuss the 4 different attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized, and what these look like, how they present themselves in relationships, and how we can heal them if any of these insecure attachment styles resonate with us.
