We've all seen it, the ugly, insidious, black stain on a wall which is the trademark of black mould. It loves cold, dark, damp places and can often go undetected if it is somewhere out of sight. But, if you are suffering from health problems such as aches and pains, respiratory issues, allergies, brain fog to name a few, it might be worth checking your house/work for black mould. Frequent exposure to the mycotoxins released by mould can really damage your well being.

Alcohol is embedded in western society and has been around for nearly ten thousand years. We celebrate and commiserate with it and it is almost regarded as a rites of passage to have your first drink. But alcohol is a poison to the human body, there are no two ways about it.

We humans in western culture tend to focus purely on our physical bodies: what we look like, how much we weigh, how strong we are... but there are three other bodies all operating within our physical self which play a major part in our lives. And what's more, they are all interconnected, what you do to one affects the other three.

Goodbye 'Small Business Whole Health Podcast' and welcome 'The Super-Natural Podcast'

Upon achieving the milestone of 100 episodes we have decided to re-brand the pod so it more accurately aligns with the topics we discuss. And our first episode is focusing on morphic resonance. You may have never heard of the term but you will certainly have felt its power through your sixth sense, collective consciousness, inherited memory and maybe even telepathy. 

We hope you enjoy our first edition of the new and improved podcast. Remember to like, share, comment and subscribe, it helps more than you know 🙏

In this episode we are celebrating episode 100 of the Small Business Whole Health Podcast, Whoop Whoop 🙌

In the zone, transcendence, hyper focus, these are all different names for what is now being labelled Flow State. It occurs when we are fully immersed in an activity, there is a sense of timelessness and often great things are achieved. It is a sign that we are living our true purpose and doing exactly what we should be doing. But how do we achieve it? When does it happen? Can everyone experience it? These questions will all be answered in the episode.

Today we are talking all things protein: How much do we need, where to get it from, when to eat it, what it does....and much more.

Protein is one of three macronutrients, alongside carbohydrates and fats, which make up our diet. Mainstream guidelines tend to focus on diet advice  such as 'reduce fat intake' and 'eat wholegrain carbs with every meal' (which are both flawed ideas btw) but protein is often never spoken about. 

Our bodies rely on it for muscle building and repair, hormone and enzyme production, healthy hair/skin/nails, aesthetics, immune system, the list goes on. 

So join us on a deep dive where we encourage you to eat a steak, lift some weights and become a protein machine!

Todays guest is Sharon Oliver and we are discussing all things numerology related, as well as fractals, fibonacci, colours, sound, the tarot and much more. If all this sounds too esoteric for you then you'll be interested to know that all of this is backed up by some of history's most prominent scientists and scholars such as Nicola Tesla, Pythagorus, Plato and Albert Einstein.

Today we are discussing the maharishi effect, a form of transcendental meditation which has been proven scientifically to reduce crime, violence and negative behaviour. Whats even more fascinating is that only a fraction of people need to participate (the square root of 1% to be precise) to have a profound impact. 

Listen in and let s know what you think.

On todays episode Jill & Dan discuss 10 everyday things which they couldn't live without. There are obvious things like oxygen, shelter and family, but that would make for a pretty mundane conversation! So instead we are talking about more materialistic, quirky things which we use regularly and make life that little bit more enjoyable. Listen in to find out what items make our lists, there might be some surprises. But what isn't surprising is the usual tangents and off piste topics which inevitably come up, this week it's Sacred Geometry, Portals and Aboriginals.

In this episode we are discussing our current favourite quotes and proverbs. Judging by the amount of listens and downloads we get, this topic is one of your favourites...ours too! That's why we are back with our third instalment of quotes which are currently resonating with us. Jill is feeling very esoteric and spiritual so expect a lot of Yin content from the likes of Ram Dass, Tony Robbins and Native American Proverbs. Where as Dan is feeling very Yang and has lots of motivational quotes from men on the internet : )

Todays episode is part two of our summary of Dr. Jordan Peterson's highly acclaimed book '12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos'

We cover rules 7-12 and obviously go off on the odd tangent.

Although some of the rules seem strangely simple, like 'Don't Bother Your Kids Whilst They Are Skateboarding' and 'Pet A Cat When You See One On The Street', there are some profound teachings and pearls of wisdom in there, particularly relevant to society today.

You may have heard there is a thing called covid 19 going around, it's kind of a big deal. Well Jill has got it! So we thought it would be a good idea to hear her first hand experience of life with coronavirus. Instead of all the speculation, fear and Chinese whispers, you're better off hearing it from the horses mouth (not calling Jill a horse or anything). 

View Details

On this episode of the SBWH Podcast Jill & Dan are discussing the occult practice of tarot card reading. This system originates thousands of years ago in many cultures like ancient Egypt, India and China. The practice we use today is likely an amalgamation of the way each culture practiced the art. 

Is it a way of channeling universal wisdom and connecting to the collective consciousness, or is it a dark art of praying on the gullible and vulnerable, you decide.

The study of gut bacteria and the importance of a healthy digestive system is an area of increasing scientific scrutiny. For example, in recent years it has been revealed that the vast majority of the immune system is housed in the digestive system and this is also where most of the sleep hormone melatonin is produced. There are further studies linking gut health with mental health issues like depression. 

This podcast looks at the symptoms of an unhealthy digestive system and gives practical tips to correct common problems.

As humans we have a deep desire to belong to a group of people who have similar belief systems. Whether it be religion, politics, sports teams or a million other things. We crave to be around like minded people who are on the same mission as us. Being part of a collective consciousness, contributing to something bigger and experiencing group flow is in our DNA. These things all happen in fitness communities like Jill's Organic Pilates family who have just completed an amazing retreat together and Dan's Active Life Centre which has just celebrated its 10th Birthday! 

Listen to find out why it is so important to find your tribe, enjoy.

Todays episode is all about the placebo effect and its evil twin, the nocebo effect. The mere fact that these two phenomenons exist demonstrates the true power of the human mind. And get this, for any medical drug to go to market it must perform better than a placebo in a randomised control trial! That's right, even the trillion dollar medical market and the advances in modern science still use the power of the human belief as the baseline for healing. The power of positive or negative thinking is a real, tangible thing and it is the most effective drug you can take. Remember, as Henry Ford famously said, 'Whether you thing you can, or you think you can't, you are right'

On todays episode Jill & Dan are explaining the chakras, an ancient system based on subtle energy centres within the body (particularly the spine). You may have heard the term "realign your chakras" and rolled your eyes thinking it was some new age hippie BS, well you're not alone because that's what we used to do before we learned the history and practical application of understanding the chakra system. Definitely give this one a listen, you'll be surprised at how much your chakras play a role in your every day life.

The sense of euphoria after after a cold shower or the sense of calm and connection after 3 rounds of breathing is utterly addictive...in a good way.

On todays podcast Jill & Dan are discussing how to flatten your abdominal region forever. There is a lot of misleading information regarding the abdominals spouted mainly by the fitness industry, which sadly causes a lot of wasted time and frustration.

Jill & Dan cut through all the noise and get to the facts and tell you what works and what doesn't.

Welcome back listeners! Todays episode is our second attempt at this topic as we demonstrated the powers of manifestation by creating a faulty zoom recording last week (listen for more details).

Meat alternatives, calories per serving, man boobs.....and 'cockerel gate' These are just some of the topics covered in todays episode which is loosely based on dispelling the misleading information spouted by the food industry. Vibrant health is dependant on real food! Remember, 'you are what you eat' and we're quickly becoming a nation which is obese, impotent and subservient to the authority figures who give us our diet advice. So ask yourself, 'Do they have your best interests at heart?' 'Are their protocols working for you?' 'Is there a better way eat?' This episode will help get the cogs turning and start questioning the BS the food industry tells us.

"Common, but not normal" This is an accurate description of the back pain situation particularly in the western world. It is almost expected that we will suffer some sort of spinal affliction as we age, but it doesn't have to be this way. There are many effective exercises, both rehab and pre-hab, which can keep your back strong and functional. In this episode Jill & Dan will discuss their favourites so you can add them to your exercise routine.

On todays episode we are joined by fellow chekkie Jess Farmer and we are discussing the relationship we have with pain.

Although it may seem as simple as a survival instinct, pain can get quite complex when it comes to chronic pain, emotional trauma and things like phantom limbs etc. If we reframe pain as a teacher and a friend we can can live healthier, happier lives.

Asking yourself deep questions and giving yourself honest truths is challenging, but not as challenging as living a life with no direction or vision. This inner work will reveal itself in the way you look, feel, act and the choices you make day to day.

Todays episode marks the one year anniversary of the SBWH Podcast.

Who knew that a daft idea to pass the time during lockdown would lead to 67 episodes and thousands of downloads & listens. It was a steep leaning curve learning how to record, edit, publish and promote but we've fine tuned it to a point where would consider ourselves to be competent, bordering on half-decent at it!

We owe a huge thank you to everyone who has listened, supported us and left positive feedback.

Our aim is to give helpful advice in a light hearted manner, so knowing that we are improving peoples health and making them laugh means the world to us. It's onwards & upwards for the podcast, we still have many more topics to cover, guests to interview and rabbit holes to go down...and don't forget the totally random rants!

One year down, many more to go. We're just getting started!

Todays episode sees the return of fellow CHEK professional Leigh Brandon. You may recall 14 months ago when Leigh was a guest on the show and gave his hard hitting take on the pandemic as well as his predictions for the future.

Well, more than a year on and most of his predictions have proven pretty accurate so we thought it would be a good time to hear Leigh's views on how things are currently and how he thinks the next year will pan out.

He also gives us details of his latest online course HEAL T.H.E.M. which teaches health professionals how to deal with blocking factors in clients with more complex issues.

On the final episode of our mini series we are discussing Dr Happiness. This inner doctor has more of a philosophical approach to health compared to the more practical outlook of the other three. Are you doing what you love? What are your values? Are you still intrigued by the mystery of life? What do you want your legacy to be? These are big questions which if answered honestly and pursued throughout your life, will lead to happiness and a life of fulfilment instead of chasing short term highs and a life of regret. 

We hope you've enjoyed this mini series, stay subscribed for more content every Monday on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Podbean, Google Home, Alexa and www.OrganicPilates.co.uk

On part three of the mini series we are talking about Dr Movement. Although the inner doctors concept was thought up by Hippocrates, he didn't have a movement doctor, this was added in by Paul Chek because our lives are far more sedentary nowadays compared to Ancient Greece, where doing the laundry was probably more physically demanding than most peoples exercise regimes today. The advice from doctor movement might seem pretty obvious but there are many advantages to regular movement that you may not be aware of, such as waste removal, transition of nutrients, massage of the organs and much more.

Dr Quiet reminds us that we can 'work hard, rest hard' There is no need to wear your lack of sleep like a badge of honour, not only will a lack of proper rest take years off your life, it will make the years you are alive sub optimal. Sleep is the ultimate form go rest, but we also have passive and active rest which we can incorporate into our health regimes.

Todays episode is the first instalment of a four part mini series outlining our personal inner 4 doctors. This concept was first established in Ancient Greece by Hippocrates, who is considered one of the leading historical figures in the field of medicine.

Our modern lives are obviously different now, so Hippocrates' concept was further developed by Paul Chek (the worlds leading authority on Holistic Health) to make it applicable to 21st century life. This episode focuses on Dr. Diet, our personal physician who guides us on what to eat and drink. Highlights of this episode include: Why lions don't eat leafs and giraffes don't eat steaks, Are you eating SAD CRAP? Dan & Jill reveal their tribal/ancestral archetypes and it could be a podcast record for the number of rants!

On this episode of the SBWH Podcast Jill & Dan are discussing Near Death Experiences. We typically think of life and death as having very clearly defined borders, but for some people that line is a bit more blurry. Throughout history there have been thousands of cases of people being classified as dead for a short period of time; no pulse, no brain activity, no signs of life, but then they are resuscitated and continue living. Some of these people experience mystical, unexplainable events in that time between life and death and there are some common threads which a lot of them share.

Whoa listeners, we're going deep on this one!

On this episode we are discussing psychedelics, or hallucinogenic drugs/plant medicines are they are often referred to as. These consciousness altering 'drugs' have been used throughout human history as medicine, during rituals & ceremonies and to connect with God.

They became classified as illegal by most of the western world in the 20th century under the false claims that they would send people crazy, but a little bit of research reveals another more sinister agenda which is probably closer to the truth.

However, in recent years psychedelics have had a resurgence with many open minded people travelling to South America to partake in Ayahuasca ceremonies for healing purposes and to find a greater sense of connection to God/Mother Nature/The Universe.

Highlights of the episode include: Lucid dreaming, Dans conspiracy theories, sacred geometry, Jill reveals her inner Jedi and there's also talk of magical toads and stoned apes....and Jesus, again.

On this episode of the SBWH Podcast Jill & Dan are celebrating the return of gyms and studios, a major step forward for the fitness industry.

On this episode of the SBWH Podcast Jill & Dan are discussing one of their favourite health hacks, Earthing/Grounding (or Vitamin G as Jill likes to call it).

You'll learn how mobile phones, TV's, wifi systems, smart meters etc, are all bombarding us with EMF's (electromagnetic frequencies) far beyond the levels our physiology is able to cope with and is a leading cause of things like headaches, disrupted sleep, brain fog and much more.

What makes electromagnetic radiation even more sinister is the fact that we can't see it, smell it or hear it, but remember, just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there.

This may all sound very worrying, but fear not, during the show we reveal the best way to combat this dirty electric and take your health up a level.

So seeing as though so many of us disregard this fundamental truth when it comes to the food we consume,  it will come as no surprise to hear that there are over 2 billion overweight adults globally, with that number on the rise.

This constant state of being over fed and under nourished is killing the human race, it is also destroying Mother Nature. It is imperative that we get back to organic farming practices so that we can become healthy and undo the damage we have done to planet Earth.

We're onto part three of our 6 part Mini Series explaining the Foundation Principles of health and todays topic is breathing.

We do it twenty six thousand times per day, we can't go three minutes without it, it is our first act of life as well as our last, yet we don't spend much time thinking about it in the middle...until now.

Highlights of todays episode include: why you might be breathing incorrectly, how to tell if you have an inverted breathing pattern and how to improve it, as well as many many tangents about cave art, psychedelics and just general hippie stuff.

We hope you enjoy this episode and we'd love it if you #passthepod to someone else who you think could benefit from implementing the six foundation principles.

Episode 2 of our 6-Part Foundation Principles Mini Series focuses on hydration.

Being correctly hydrated, aside from breathing, is the most important factor in attaining optimal health and/or improving illness. Our bodies are approximately 70% water and just by being 1% dehydrated we start to suffer the consequences.

It may seem as simple as "just drink plenty" but as you'll discover in the episode, there is more to hydration than you think.

Quantity, quality, wells, bottles, filters...we cover it all.

Highlights include: a simple equation to figure out how much water you should drink each day, Dan's space age Japanese water filter, happy plants and a startling figure involving coke and potatoes!

We hope you enjoy episode 2, tune in tomorrow for our 'Breathing' edition, leave us some feedback and remember to #passthepod

Today's episode marks the first of a 6-Part Mini Series in which we discuss the foundation principles which are vital to staying healthy.

A new episode will be released each day this week and our first topic is THINKING.

Becoming aware of our dominant thoughts is essential for our mental (and physical) well being. Once we calm our racing minds we can begin to get rid of those junk thoughts which don't serve us and replace them with more positive ones which will help us move towards our dreams.

We hope you enjoy this first edition of the mini series and if you're a fan of Jesus, you're in for a treat!

Enjoy, #passthepod, spread the love, peace.

On this episode of the SBWH Podcast Jill & Dan are discussing all things fat related.

There is lots of misinformation and outdated studies which tell us to eat low fat diets, yet the rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease continue to rise. This understandably causes a lot of confusion when it comes to eating 'dietary fat' and attempting to lose 'body fat'.

So, we're going to cut through the noise, give you the facts and clear up the confusion when it comes to fat.

Highlights include: How a very controversial study from the 1950's still dictates how we're told to eat, Chinese gutter oil, human cheese and the usual banter & off topic rants!

On this episode of the SBWH Podcast Jill & Dan are discussing the seemingly endless amount of diets out there. From Keto and Paleo, to Vegan and Flexiterian. Each one claims to be the best thing since sliced bread (pun intended) however, this leads to a lot of confusion since the so called 'science' contradicts itself. So, the aim of this episode is to clearly explain what each diet consists of, the pros & cons of each one and to give you some healthy eating advice which applies to all of these diets.

Highlights include: Jills dinosaur co2 theory, intuitive eating, a warning about 'no added sugar' labels, an interesting story about cornflakes and masturbation (yes you read that right) and stay tuned to the end to hear Jill & Dan go full hippie mode and talk about food prayers and the chakra system.

On this episode of the SBWH Podcast Jill & Dan are discussing health and fitness fads.

This is the time of year when the wellness industry is in highest demand, new years resolutions and over indulgence during the holidays lead to more of us wanting to get in shape.

However, marketers take advantage of this and attempt to sell us on the latest & greatest fitness class, supplement or diet, promising better results in less time than the tried and tested solutions.

99 percent of these are just short cuts and come with detrimental side effects, ultimately defeating the purpose of why you tried it in the first place. But fear not, we are going to tell you what to avoid and what to do instead.
