A Blueprint to Overhaul the American Food & Pharma Systems – Calley Means : 1146
Today, Calley Means joins the show to march onward on his war path to changing the incentives of modern health. He’s a champion of food and lifestyle practices as medicine—and, in May of this year, he’s putting out a new book on the subject which we outline today, called Good Energy.His sister, Dr. Casey Means, is the co-author of Good Energy. You know her from a past appearance on this show and as the founder of Levels so this mission really is a family affair in the best way possible.Going from a food lobbyist to the other side of the fence, Calley is a deeply serious and dedicated champion for the people. But he brings much more to the table today than a polished delivery and a new book; he is also the co-founder of True Medicine, which works to connect tax-advantaged spending to healthy food and exercise. It’s helped hundreds of thousands of people access affordable care by leveraging the convoluted systems currently in place to block them from doing so—no easy task.In this conversation, Calley lays the foundation for our food culture as it stands today—bleak, corrupt, poisoned, sick, and getting sicker. We deconstruct the layers of federal agencies and historical precedent that have brought us to this point, and we’re direct in our suggestions (demands) on how to fix it.And all the facts are laid bare. Dots are connected in broad daylight, on network television, and within the algorithms that power our social feeds. Our kids are at stake, and the only option is to take affirmative action on what we know is right.

Where Quantum Science Meets Spirituality – Jewels Arnes : 1144
I’m excited to welcome back Jewels Arnes, an author, ascension coach, and the founder of BioQuantum Skincare Technology. Jewels has more than 30 years of experience in energy medicine and intensive consciousness work. In today’s episode, Jewels explains scalar waves, ORMUS, and the quantum level. She shares how these concepts all contribute to her BioQuantum Skincare line and the intention she poured into the products. We also talk about how and why Jewels moved away from psychedelics and regular meditation, and how she tunes into frequencies without them. Plus, we get into the spiritual ego, how to master your triggers, the frequency of DMT, and Jewels’ role as an ascension coach. Unlike my analytical brain, Jewels sees the world through frequencies, so this was a fun conversation with fresh perspectives.
