600+ Questionable Ingredients In Your "Healthy" Packaged Products? Is Beef Tallow Actually Safe (Surprising Answer!) & How To Save Money On Good Groceries, With Thrive Market's Nick Green.

From the screen glow of an 80's television showcasing Chinese Kung Fu theater to the vibrant arenas of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Mortal Kombat," Jeff Durbin's life reads like a reel of adrenaline-packed sequences. But it wasn't all triumphant rounds and ninja moves; there were battles far more internal and daunting, fights that transcended the visible world. You might recognize Jeff from the History Channel's "The Stoned Ages," where he took a candid, Christian stance on addiction, or from the documentary film A Storm Comes Rolling Down The Plain. Jeff co-hosts Apologia Radio and Apologia TV, both of which garner followers throughout the U.S. and internationally. (You can find these shows via Apologia Studios). A World Champion martial artist with five black belts, Jeff even appeared as a fighter in MTV’s “The Final Fu.” Not long after Jeff was married, he began to develop a drug addiction that put a severe strain on his marriage. His alcohol and drug consumption grew to surpass all other priorities. This developed into a dependence on ecstasy, which Jeff overused to the point that he had to take several pills at a time to feel anything. Eventually, this led to a near-death experience by overdose. In today's episode, we’ll dive into the murky waters of addiction. Is drug and alcohol dependence merely a physical affliction, or is there a spiritual vacuum that perpetuates it? How does Jeff’s own personal experience with addiction inform his perspective? And not shying away from controversial topics, we’ll touch upon the use of plant medicine in spiritual journeys. Prepare for an enthralling look into the world of a man who seamlessly fuses martial arts, faith, and resilience.

Ah, the intrigue of human movement! Think back to that fleeting moment when you watched a dancer glide effortlessly through a routine or marveled at the precision of an Olympic gymnast. Movement, in its many forms, has the uncanny ability to capture your attention and leave you yearning for more. Now, what if I told you the key to unlocking the secrets of movement lies in understanding the spaces you live in, the furniture you use, and even the shoes you wear? Bestselling author, speaker, and leader of the "Movement movement," biomechanist Katy Bowman is a thought leader guiding thousands towards a more enriched, dynamic way of life. Katy teaches movement globally and has written nine previous books on the importance of a diverse movement diet, including Move Your DNA, Dynamic Aging, and Grow Wild. Her latest book, Rethink Your Position, is a much-needed guide to how your body moves and why you need to prioritize more movement to offset the harms of living in a sedentary culture. Named one of Maria Shriver’s “Architects of Change,” Katy has worked with companies like Patagonia, Nike, and Google as well as a wide range of non-profits and other communities, sharing her “move more” message. Her movement education company is Nutritious Movement and she is the host of the Move Your DNA podcast. From the way sedentarism has stealthily crept into modern society, relegating many to static lifestyles, to the profound concept of movement ecology, Katy is relentless in her pursuit to shift paradigms and has revolutionized how movement is understood and discussed. A mother, an entrepreneur, a teacher, and above all, a lifelong student, Katy Bowman is undeniably reshaping the contours of how people perceive movement. In this episode, Katy shares her diverse expertise and her revolutionary perspectives on movement. With a deep look into her thought-provoking books, we'll unravel the philosophy behind movement ecology and the silent challenges of sedentarism in our modern era. Learn about the biomechanical impact of tech-dependent lives, from the posture challenges of device usage to innovative solutions like her “No Pain In The Tech” Screen Decals that serve as reminders for healthier head positioning.

Every once in a while, a personal story serves as a stark reminder that your body, while resilient, isn't infallible. Sometimes, it sends signs—like unexpected weight gain before a major event or constant fatigue—that something's off. But what if those signals are misunderstood? Or worse, overlooked? Meet Dr. Amie Hornaman, doctor of clinical nutrition and host of the top-rated podcast in medicine and alternative health The Thyroid Fixer™, with listeners around the globe. The title of "The Thyroid-Fixer" didn’t just fall into Dr. Amie's lap; she earned it. Not only through her groundbreaking work but because she knows the frustration of being misdiagnosed, not once or twice, but six excruciating times. It's not just about the wrong diagnosis; it's the emotional upheaval, the self-doubt, and grappling with a system that often doesn't look beyond the superficial. But adversity has a way of shaping trailblazers. The founder of The Institute for Thyroid and Hormone Optimization, an organization with transformational, proven approaches to address thyroid dysfunction and support people in returning to full health, Dr. Amie is also the creator of The Fixxr™ supplement line, offering revolutionary, proprietary supplements that are changing the lives of many people. So, why the focus on the thyroid? Because this tiny, butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck wields immense influence in your body. The thyroid plays a pivotal role in determining how your cells use energy, affecting almost every organ in your body. Its proper functioning is essential for heart rate, body temperature, and even cognitive functions, underscoring its central role in overall health and well-being.

Known as a modern-day Indiana Jones, my guest on this podcast, Timothy Alberino is a consummate and quite controversial explorer of all things paranormal and beyond.
