In this episode, Simone discusses the topic of fasting, specifically comparing water fasting to dry fasting and highlighting the benefits of each. She explains the concept of autophagy and cellular repair, insulin sensitivity, weight loss, brain function, and hormonal balance in relation to fasting. Simone emphasizes the importance of understanding the differences between water fasting and dry fasting, detailing how dry fasting can be more efficient in cleansing the body without the need for elimination processes.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Overeating before starting a fast, especially a dry fast, can undermine the process and hinder the body's ability to enter a state of autophagy and deep cleansing.
• Fasting in a clean and moist environment, such as near an ocean or in nature, can enhance the detoxification process and support the body's healing mechanisms.
• Starting a fast with a clear intention, commitment, and understanding of the process can help maximize the benefits and ensure a successful fasting experience.

BEST MOMENTS

"It actually takes three times longer on water for the body to get to the same stage of deep cleansing as it does when you do dry fasting."

"So fasting is actually more well suited for the summer."

Today, Dr. David Snyder joins Simone to discuss the connection between emotions and physical health. Dr. Snyder explains that chronic diseases and debilitating conditions often stem from repressed and stagnant emotions that create energetic stagnation in the body. He shares insights from Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, highlighting the importance of understanding how emotions manifest in specific organ systems. Dr. Snyder also delves into the power of the unconscious mind and the role it plays in holding onto traumatic events. He provides practical techniques for releasing trapped emotions and rewriting the neural patterns associated with them. Listeners are encouraged to become more self-aware and to tap into their own innate healing abilities.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The episode highlights the link between repressed emotions and the manifestation of chronic diseases in the body. It explains how stagnant emotions can create energetic stagnation, leading to physical mass and organic pathology.
• The unconscious mind acts as a storage system for traumatic events and emotions that we are not ready to process. It holds onto these experiences until we are ready to address and resolve them.
• By becoming aware of where we feel emotions in our body, we can access and release them. Dr. Snyder emphasizes the importance of identifying the somatic address of emotions and using techniques to transform and release them.
• To heal ourselves, we need to develop self-awareness and engage in introspection. By asking ourselves questions and dialoguing with our own deeper levels of the nervous system, we can uncover and address the root causes of our issues.
• This episode highlights the incredible capabilities of our nervous system and the potential for self-healing. By applying techniques such as identifying somatic addresses, using colors and imagery, and rewriting emotional experiences, we can create profound changes in our well-being.

BEST MOMENTS

"Repressed, stagnant emotion that creates energetic stagnation in the body, that creates a physical mass."

"Your emotions are supposed to be tools, not ramifications."

"Your neurology builds them and expresses them the same way."

"Your neurology literally goes offline for a fraction of a second, that trap opens up, it grabs the energy, the memories, the feelings."

In this episode, Simone Gisondi delves into the fascinating world of bioenergetic intolerance elimination with expert guest Robert Tomilson. With over 36 years of experience in allergy research, immunology, and biophysics, Rob co-founded the Institute of Natural Health Technologies and is a registered holistic nutritionist. They discuss how stress plays a significant role in causing diseases and how the body can develop intolerances to certain substances during stressful events. Rob explains the concept of bioenergetic intolerance elimination (B.I.E.), a natural modality that helps the body recognize and deal with the culprits causing health problems. They explore the importance of the body's electromagnetic field, the role of software and hardware in the body, and how B.I.E. can help the body normalize and differentiate between harmful and non-harmful substances. They also touch on the impact of stress on fertility and the importance of addressing gut health and yeast overgrowth in the body. This episode provides valuable insights into understanding the root causes of illness and how bioenergetic intolerance elimination can support overall well-being.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Stress plays a significant role in causing diseases, with the World Health Organization stating that 90% of all illnesses are caused by stress.
• Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination (B.I.E.) is a natural modality that helps the body recognize and deal with the culprits causing health problems, allowing the body to heal itself.
• The body's software, which includes hormones, vitamins, and minerals, communicates with cells through electrical impulses and vibrations.
• Stressful events can lead to the body blocking certain substances, causing intolerances and imbalances in hormones and other essential components.
• B.I.E. uses a patented device to electronically imprint the vibrations of specific substances into the body, helping the body recognize and utilize them properly, which can be beneficial for fertility and overall health.

BEST MOMENTS

"Even the World Health Organization says 90% of all illness is caused by stress."

"So if you consume that over and over again, it's like dripping water into a cup and the levels just come up and they come up, come right to the brim."

"So we want to make sure that their body is able to handle all these vitamins and minerals so that the baby stays nice and healthy and they have no problems during pregnancy."

"We like to say if you're having a hard time conceiving, you may want to make sure that you don't have too much yeast in your body."

"Whatever you hate, love, hate, over consume or crave, that's usually it. So we just overdo it."

• Naturopathic medicine takes a holistic approach to fertility.

Naturopathic doctors use a combination of nutrition, herbs, acupuncture, and other natural therapies to support fertility.
• Traditional Asian medicine emphasizes balance and natural remedies. Traditional Asian medicine, such as Chinese medicine, focuses on restoring balance in the body and using natural remedies to promote health. This includes practices like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary adjustments. These principles can be applied to support fertility and overall health.

BEST MOMENTS"Your hormones see, oh, there's a tiger. Do I hit it on the head or run away? And so over time, that high-performance lifestyle, if you're not fueling your body properly and getting the counterbalance, it's going to show up."

"So, you know, definitely with respect to talking about fertility and hormone balance, you know, I love working with high performers, with women who have a go, go, go lifestyle."

"For women, we can do the same thing. We can kind of say, OK, what are some of your hormone levels doing? Not just estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, but what about cortisol? What about DHEA? What about melatonin? What are all of these things doing?"

"So, I'm there and I'm so excited and I'm talking to the owner and she's this beautiful woman who is Indigenous and she actually wants to help the other Indigenous women and empower them."

Simone welcomes Dr. Nikos Apostolopoulos, to delve into a thought-provoking discussion about masculinity and its definition in today's society.

Dr. Apostolopoulos challenges the traditional notions of masculinity, highlighting the importance of tapping into one's sensitive side and embracing a mosaic of emotions. They explore the impact of societal constructs, such as the Hollywood portrayal of masculinity, and how it has led to a disconnect between men and their true selves. The conversation also touches on the concept of toxic masculinity and the need for men to understand and connect with the feminine.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Society has created a construct of what it means to be masculine and feminine, leading to confusion and a lack of understanding of true masculinity.
• Masculinity should not be defined by societal expectations or Hollywood portrayals, but rather by being true to oneself and embracing emotions and sensitivity.
• The patriarchal society has suppressed the feminine and created a disconnect between men and women, hindering deep connections and understanding.
• The societal construct of success, such as the American dream, has influenced the definition of masculinity and created pressure for men to conform to certain roles and expectations.

BEST MOMENTS

"We have been conditioned, especially me coming from a Greek family, we have been conditioned to be the tough people, the heroes, the embodiment of sacrifice for the family."

"A real masculine person is a person that actually digs deep down inside and brings out the emotions which are a major part of our lives."

"We're too confused nowadays. We're too far gone to be able to sit back and say, this is a male role, this is a female role."

"I think it's great that women can go out in society and work and contribute and, you know, create the environment where they're able to earn for themselves because it makes you feel special."

Simone welcomes special guest Dr. Russ Irwin, a renowned clinical psychologist and expert in human behaviour, who shares his insights on masculinity and the stages of the masculine journey.

He discusses the importance of the beloved son stage in boyhood, where a young boy needs to feel his father's delight in him. He also explores the cowboy stage of adolescence, the warrior stage of young adulthood, the lover stage of awakening the heart, the king stage of wholeheartedness and wisdom, and the sage stage of mentoring and passing on wisdom.

Dr. Irwin also addresses the impact of social media on society and the challenges of finding true identity in today's world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The masculine journey consists of six stages: beloved son, cowboy, warrior, lover, king, and sage. These stages help shape a man's understanding of masculinity and his development throughout life.
• Masculinity is not solely defined by societal norms or physical attributes. It involves a combination of physiological, cultural, and personal factors that contribute to a man's sense of identity and understanding of what it means to be a man.
• The role of fathers and male figures in a boy's life is important in the development of masculinity. While single parents, including single mothers, can successfully raise children, the presence of both masculine and feminine energies can provide a balanced upbringing.
• Society's portrayal of masculinity in media, such as Hollywood, can create confusion and unrealistic expectations. It is important to recognise the influence of social media and its potential negative effects on mental health, including increased envy, depression, jealousy, and anxiety.

BEST MOMENTS

"There is a great deal of role confusion out there...but I think to most appropriately come to some form of a working definition of what is masculinity or more so what does it mean to be a man."

"I think masculinity is, and of course you referred to various organ parts, so there are certain things that make you a woman that do not make me a woman. There are certain things that make me a man that would not make you a man, simply because of physiological attributes."

"I think it's being strong, it's being assertive, it's being protective, it's having that healthy sense of identity, knowing who you are, but in the same sense, having that willingness and security of heart to cry when you need to cry."

"The lover stage is the stage where we learn to, I think, accept, to understand, to recognise that this is culturally, it should be culturally acceptable. This is where we start to discover our heart."

They share personal experiences and insights, highlighting the need for compassion and understanding in relationships. Simone and Kaifei emphasize the importance of clear communication, setting boundaries, and taking responsibility for one's own actions. Ultimately, they advocate for kindness as a fundamental aspect of being a high-value individual, both in relationships and in life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Being kind to men, especially during and after divorce, is an important topic that deserves more attention.
• There may be a bias that gives women the upper hand in divorce proceedings, which can lead to bitterness and resentment from men.
• It is important to consider the financial implications of divorce and how it can impact both parties, especially if there are children involved.
• Kindness towards men in divorce situations is crucial for the well-being of both parties and any children involved.
• Effective communication and setting clear boundaries are essential in maintaining a healthy relationship and avoiding unnecessary conflict.

BEST MOMENTS:
"I feel like it's right that no matter the circumstances of why you split up, that you should financially contribute more if you're not the main carer, because the main carer has so much more responsibility."

"I think the only way you can arrive at having the ability to be kind throughout it when you've been so damaged and so hurt is the self-work."

"It's important to keep in mind that the very things that you do in these situations are going to be creating the opinion of who you are as a person."

"It's so important that we have to be kind because that's just who we are, not because we owe it to the men, not because we feel that we have to do something to get something in return."

"I feel like it's a really difficult place to be when you are say 13 years down the line in this marriage and somebody's doing something that is completely violating your standards, but you're so intertwined."

"I think divorce is such a circumstance as well because if you have a woman that can look at it and say hey you know what, this hurts like hell but i still am a human being and i still have compassion and you're a person and i just don't have it in me to go and try to rip you apart and take you down."

"I think if you take responsibility for what you allow, because I think it's about allowing as well, if you continue to allow someone to do something to you, like the cheating, you know, over and over again, it's not making you happy, it's harming you, it's making you feel devalued, your self-worth is on the floor."
