00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:02.859
The good bacteria get killed off, the lining gets damaged.
2
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:03.540
Yeah?
3
00:00:04.059 --> 00:00:08.429
Now, the good bacteria are making most of your neurotransmitters. Serotonin, dopamine, GABA, etc.
4
00:00:09.109 --> 00:00:11.130
are mostly produced in your gut, not in your brain.
5
00:00:11.890 --> 00:00:15.369
So when you're destroying the good bacteria, you destroy your neurotransmitters,
6
00:00:15.730 --> 00:00:19.370
which leads to mood issues, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, etc.
7
00:00:19.809 --> 00:00:21.550
What if your body has been trying to tell you
8
00:00:21.609 --> 00:00:24.949
a story your mind hasn't learned out of here? Today,
9
00:00:24.969 --> 00:00:29.140
I sit down with naturopathic doctor and psychotherapist, Dr. Amit Agarwal.
10
00:00:29.629 --> 00:00:33.310
to explain why lasting healing may require looking far beyond
11
00:00:33.369 --> 00:00:37.369
the symptom itself. Drawing from his own experience of childhood
12
00:00:37.390 --> 00:00:41.380
bullying and a chronically activated nervous system, Amit explains how
13
00:00:41.409 --> 00:00:44.939
he came to see our physical health, emotional wounds, and
14
00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:49.899
family histories as deeply interconnected. We explore his five pillars
15
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.859
of healing, from the gut, liver, and adrenal system, to
16
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.920
childhood and ancestral trauma. Why he believes unresolved family dynamics
17
00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:02.799
can keep us trapped in patterns we don't understand and
18
00:01:02.859 --> 00:01:08.560
how he combines psychotherapy, including family consolation therapy, homeopathy, and
19
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.469
functional wellness in his work. Amit also guides us through
20
00:01:12.769 --> 00:01:16.590
practical tools for calming the nervous system and meeting difficult
21
00:01:16.650 --> 00:01:20.670
emotions without resistance, inviting us to consider that healing may
22
00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:24.019
begin not by fighting what we feel, but by finally
23
00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:27.180
giving ourselves permission to feel it. Really thrilled to be
24
00:01:27.219 --> 00:01:30.689
here today with Amit Agarwal. Welcome, Dr. Agarwal.
25
00:01:30.709 --> 00:01:36.060
Thank you, Fleet. Super excited to talk about homeopathy, releasing trauma,
26
00:01:36.390 --> 00:01:39.659
family constellations to release ancestral trauma as well, and the
27
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.700
whole gut, liver, adrenal approach to mental health as well.
28
00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:46.159
Absolutely. That's going to be perfect for this day. Our
29
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.219
focus is on the mind-body connection and functional medicine and
30
00:01:49.260 --> 00:01:52.579
so forth. So this is perfect for your work. So
31
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.200
I'm going to share your bio and then we'll jump
32
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:59.939
right into the conversation. Amit Agarwal, MD, is a naturopathic
33
00:01:59.959 --> 00:02:04.620
doctor and psychotherapist who works with Gestalt, EMDR, and family
34
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.240
constellation therapies. He was voted one of the top 43
35
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.099
naturopathic doctors worldwide and has empowered thousands of people around
36
00:02:12.139 --> 00:02:15.580
the world to improve gut health, detox their livers, and
37
00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:20.259
cure adrenal fatigue by combining holistic medicine, psychotherapy, homeopathy, and
38
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.729
emotional healing. Dr. Agarwal is the author of several books,
39
00:02:23.789 --> 00:02:26.599
including Heal Your Body, Cure Your Mind, and the Through
40
00:02:26.650 --> 00:02:29.509
his books and online courses and holistic approach, he offers
41
00:02:29.590 --> 00:02:34.490
relief from burnout, anxiety, depression, chronic disease, and trauma. And
42
00:02:34.509 --> 00:02:37.689
of course, all those things are relatively endemic in our
43
00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:42.110
fast-paced world today. So such important work. So I'm always
44
00:02:42.129 --> 00:02:45.490
a little reluctant to ask you to sort of encapsulate
45
00:02:45.629 --> 00:02:48.330
your history, your origin in just a minute or two,
46
00:02:48.370 --> 00:02:49.969
but we have a lot to cover today. So I
47
00:02:49.990 --> 00:02:51.930
will ask you to do that. But I would like
48
00:02:51.969 --> 00:02:54.830
to start with how your journey began. What led you
49
00:02:54.909 --> 00:02:59.129
to becoming a a physician, a healer, and the overall
50
00:02:59.169 --> 00:03:00.129
direction of your work?
51
00:03:01.750 --> 00:03:04.460
Gosh, that's a big question. So I'm born in Kenya
52
00:03:04.819 --> 00:03:07.360
and I went to boarding school where I was bullied
53
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.800
and just felt threatened by teachers who were unkind. So
54
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.719
my nervous system was on edge all the time. And
55
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.580
I thought that was a weakness. But by being on edge,
56
00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:24.909
I developed this hypersensitivity to people's emotions and people's intentions
57
00:03:25.060 --> 00:03:28.590
and even the threat. It's almost like our nervous system
58
00:03:28.650 --> 00:03:32.750
adapts to the environment. And suddenly I could pick up
59
00:03:32.909 --> 00:03:37.180
feelings in people without knowing it. So I became an
60
00:03:37.259 --> 00:03:42.240
empath very quickly. And then I went to naturopathic college
61
00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:47.319
in Toronto, as well as Gestalt psychotherapy. And that's where
62
00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:50.300
I learned the power of eating healthy, healing our gut,
63
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.050
which we're going to talk about, detoxifying the liver, the
64
00:03:53.090 --> 00:03:55.689
importance of adrenal herbs as well to calm down anxiety.
65
00:03:56.979 --> 00:04:01.599
And most importantly, the importance of healing trauma. Our mindset,
66
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.280
our beliefs that program us, that run our nervous system,
67
00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:08.000
our subconscious, and keep us in fear, anxiety, depression, you
68
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.960
name it. Trauma is often the root cause of most
69
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.500
people's problems. And I've even had people with cancer resolve
70
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.439
the cancer just by healing trauma. And we'll talk about
71
00:04:17.490 --> 00:04:21.290
that when we talk about family constellations therapy. And then
72
00:04:21.329 --> 00:04:24.410
I learned family constellations therapy, which is one of the
73
00:04:24.449 --> 00:04:28.209
most powerful therapies in the world. to heal ancestral trauma.
74
00:04:29.029 --> 00:04:31.850
So this is, we inherit trauma from our mom, from
75
00:04:31.910 --> 00:04:36.569
our dad. If there's an affair, an abortion, miscarriage, victims
76
00:04:36.629 --> 00:04:41.360
of war, murders, alcoholism, suicides in the family, unknowingly, we
77
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.519
absorb these traumas. And these are often the root cause
78
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:51.480
of our problems, whether it's anxiety, sabotage with money, relationship issues,
79
00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:55.769
chronic diseases. I've seen chronic pain disappear in one session.
80
00:04:56.459 --> 00:05:00.730
just by releasing an entanglement with mom, yeah? So that's
81
00:05:00.769 --> 00:05:03.930
been my journey, really, learning how to heal the gut,
82
00:05:04.069 --> 00:05:07.290
the liver, the adrenal system, yeah, the body, as well
83
00:05:07.329 --> 00:05:12.120
as releasing personal trauma, childhood trauma, adult trauma, and most importantly,
84
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:17.639
ancestral trauma. And I combine this work in online courses,
85
00:05:17.699 --> 00:05:22.300
retreats around the world. They're super fun to do, yeah?
86
00:05:24.209 --> 00:05:26.660
So I'm super excited to teach about all this today.
87
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.399
So to help all of you listening, how to get
88
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.939
to the root cause of what your problem is. Rather
89
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.449
than dabbling in pills to suppress the anxiety, let's get
90
00:05:35.470 --> 00:05:38.670
to the root cause. Let's either heal the gut, take
91
00:05:38.689 --> 00:05:42.250
the right herbs, right homeopathic remedies, or release that trauma
92
00:05:42.290 --> 00:05:43.939
that no one talks about or no one looks at.
93
00:05:47.189 --> 00:05:49.529
And this really evolved out of your own experience, your
94
00:05:49.550 --> 00:05:52.490
own childhood experiences of being bullied, experienced a lot of
95
00:05:52.509 --> 00:05:55.470
stress and anxiety, so much so that your nervous system
96
00:05:55.509 --> 00:06:00.709
became hypersensitive. And growing up in Africa, and Africa having
97
00:06:00.750 --> 00:06:04.160
gone through colonialism and all the impact of that, there's
98
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.620
got to be a lot of ancestral trauma that you
99
00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:07.819
were working through as well.
100
00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:11.519
Absolutely. Colonialism was a big one. I went to British
101
00:06:11.579 --> 00:06:13.459
boarding school, so of course there was a bit of
102
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:19.009
bias at that time, some intimidation. And this unconscious respect
103
00:06:19.069 --> 00:06:22.980
for the oppressor, whether it's fear or respect, we don't know.
104
00:06:24.069 --> 00:06:27.899
And so my life was pretty, I grew up very timid.
105
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.300
And then, of course, when I went to study in Canada,
106
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.300
then I got introduced to drugs. There was a lot
107
00:06:33.339 --> 00:06:38.639
of drugs involved. So I destroyed my nervous system as
108
00:06:38.660 --> 00:06:41.860
well as my liver with alcohol, LSD, you name it.
109
00:06:42.829 --> 00:06:46.089
And my first homeopathic remedy was actually homeopathic LSD, which
110
00:06:46.149 --> 00:06:47.939
detoxed all the LSD from my system.
111
00:06:48.149 --> 00:06:48.750
Amazing.
112
00:06:49.810 --> 00:06:52.939
And so I learned how to combine the homeopathic remedies
113
00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:56.680
to detoxify the body, learned how to eat healthy. And
114
00:06:56.699 --> 00:06:58.680
we'll talk about how gut health and liver health and
115
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.300
the adrenal health affects mental health, of course, and chronic disease.
116
00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:08.220
And that just touched the surface. And it's only when
117
00:07:08.259 --> 00:07:10.759
I went through psychotherapy school, which just blew my mind,
118
00:07:10.779 --> 00:07:14.000
did I realize, oh, my God, my experiences as a
119
00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:17.339
child were affecting the way I was thinking, my beliefs,
120
00:07:17.420 --> 00:07:21.060
the way I interact with people and how intimidated or
121
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.209
fearful I felt with adults or with authority or in
122
00:07:25.250 --> 00:07:26.089
certain environments.
123
00:07:27.430 --> 00:07:27.670
Yeah.
124
00:07:28.110 --> 00:07:32.269
So our childhood experiences are literally programming our entire perception
125
00:07:32.290 --> 00:07:36.120
of reality. And the beauty of all this fleet is
126
00:07:36.189 --> 00:07:40.459
that this perception can be shifted in a beautiful organic way.
127
00:07:40.540 --> 00:07:44.160
If done correctly, with the right therapy. You know, there's
128
00:07:44.180 --> 00:07:47.000
therapies that force you to think positively or control your feelings.
129
00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:51.379
I don't do those. I prefer Gestalt therapy, EMDR, somatic experiencing,
130
00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:56.769
family constellations therapy, because they transform the nervous system and
131
00:07:56.790 --> 00:08:00.149
the trauma more organically. So you naturally shift into a
132
00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:05.589
more empowered, healthy perspective of yourself and of your surroundings,
133
00:08:05.790 --> 00:08:09.170
which is very important for your organism. Very important.
134
00:08:10.350 --> 00:08:14.769
So many people today find themselves feeling a lot of anxiety,
135
00:08:14.829 --> 00:08:18.660
whether it's whether experiencing a primarily mental or emotional or
136
00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:23.839
or physical anxiety or even kind of existential anxiety. There's
137
00:08:23.860 --> 00:08:26.199
just a lot of uncertainty and fear in the world
138
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.439
today for just all the instability and the pace of
139
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:34.379
change and everything. And people often, I think. assume that
140
00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:38.539
it's situational and not that there aren't circumstances that would
141
00:08:38.590 --> 00:08:41.169
be reason to feel some anxiety, certainly on fear, but
142
00:08:41.610 --> 00:08:43.929
it's really deeper than that, much deeper than that, as
143
00:08:43.950 --> 00:08:47.710
you're pointing to, that it can really be, you know,
144
00:08:47.730 --> 00:08:50.230
and then all the chronic diseases that result from living
145
00:08:50.250 --> 00:08:53.889
in a state of anxiety and the systemic inflammation and
146
00:08:53.929 --> 00:08:56.990
so forth. So it's all the physical illnesses we're dealing
147
00:08:57.049 --> 00:09:00.389
with and things like chronic fatigue and and things that
148
00:09:00.409 --> 00:09:04.860
have been considered somewhat physical, somewhat psychosomatic, kind of IBS,
149
00:09:04.899 --> 00:09:06.639
all these kind of things. It's all the ways in
150
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.740
which our systems are so much in breakdown, and there's
151
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.200
so much disconnection in our society altogether. And as you
152
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:19.250
point out, really all this has roots in trauma and
153
00:09:19.409 --> 00:09:24.210
unresolved issues there, and then how that creates dysregulation in
154
00:09:24.230 --> 00:09:26.929
the body and systemic inflammation, and it leads to a
155
00:09:26.990 --> 00:09:33.820
host of both physical, mental, and emotional illnesses and challenges, right?
156
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.519
And so I wonder if you could break down kind
157
00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:40.279
of how all this really impacts our mental health, and
158
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.759
then how, you know, when people come to you and
159
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.210
they're suffering, right, they're suffering mentally, emotionally, and maybe that's
160
00:09:47.250 --> 00:09:50.559
also showing up in their lives as physical issues, How
161
00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:53.039
do you begin helping them unravel that and work back
162
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:54.460
to find the root causes?
163
00:09:56.289 --> 00:09:58.090
Okay, so I'm going to walk you through your biology
164
00:09:58.470 --> 00:10:00.340
and your mind in a very simple way. If it
165
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:04.220
gets complicated, there's free videos on my website, yeah? Let's
166
00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:07.159
start with the gut. We have a stomach, we have intestines.
167
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.679
Your intestines are like a nice tube, a nice lining,
168
00:10:09.700 --> 00:10:12.639
kept healthy by good bacteria and good food. Over time,
169
00:10:12.659 --> 00:10:18.009
with antibiotic use, a poor diet, birth control pill, inflammatory
170
00:10:18.029 --> 00:10:21.750
foods like gluten, dairy, etc., The good bacteria get killed off,
171
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:25.309
the lining gets damaged. Now the good bacteria are making
172
00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:29.350
most of your neurotransmitters, serotonin, dopamine, GABA, et cetera, are
173
00:10:29.509 --> 00:10:32.049
mostly produced in your gut, not in your brain. So
174
00:10:32.070 --> 00:10:35.409
when you're destroying the good bacteria, you destroy your neurotransmitters,
175
00:10:35.769 --> 00:10:39.440
which leads to mood issues, anxiety, depression, psilocybin, et cetera.
176
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.220
Also remember now when your gut lining gets damaged, we
177
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.259
get holes in there, it's known as leaky gut syndrome.
178
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.480
With leaky gut syndrome, toxins leak into the bloodstream and
179
00:10:48.500 --> 00:10:51.320
cause inflammation everywhere in the body. And that's the leading
180
00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:54.500
cause for asthma, eczema, arthritis, a lot of chronic conditions.
181
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.330
All this inflammation then goes to the liver and everywhere
182
00:10:58.379 --> 00:11:01.649
else in your body, right? Including your brain, causing brain
183
00:11:01.730 --> 00:11:06.730
fog and negative thinking, negative thoughts, change in perception. We're
184
00:11:06.750 --> 00:11:09.049
going to get to how trauma and ancestral trauma also
185
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.720
affect perception, but let's stick with the biology first. All
186
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:17.179
this inflammation also disrupts your neurotransmitters, serotonin, dopamine, GABA, et cetera.
187
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.360
GABA is your anti-anxiety neurotransmitter. So when it goes low,
188
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:26.250
we get more anxiety and insomnia. When inflammation hits your liver,
189
00:11:26.909 --> 00:11:30.350
your liver becomes stagnant. And your liver is also dealing
190
00:11:30.389 --> 00:11:34.490
with toxins every day, drugs, alcohol, pesticides, chemicals in the
191
00:11:34.529 --> 00:11:38.750
drinking water. So our livers get slammed by inflammation and
192
00:11:38.789 --> 00:11:43.460
chronic toxicity, right? And now our livers are our master organ,
193
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.899
the seed of the soul in many cultures, right? In
194
00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:48.500
Chinese medicine, it really is the master organ. And why?
195
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:55.190
Because it controls digestion, detoxification, hormone balance, right? Vitamin storage,
196
00:11:55.210 --> 00:11:59.309
immune cell activation, everything. So when the liver is stagnant,
197
00:11:59.409 --> 00:12:02.230
it produces less bile. When you produce less bile, you
198
00:12:02.250 --> 00:12:06.259
get more gas, bloating, constipation, digestion. And bile is very
199
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:09.259
important for your good bacteria in your gut to flourish, right?
200
00:12:10.100 --> 00:12:12.289
So when you don't have enough bile, the good bacteria
201
00:12:12.309 --> 00:12:15.370
don't flourish. You get more of leaky gut and what
202
00:12:15.389 --> 00:12:20.039
we call dysbiosis, so unhealthy bacteria. So worsening of gut health,
203
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:26.710
leaky gut, chronic inflammation, and neurotransmitters dropping. That's number one. Also,
204
00:12:27.230 --> 00:12:30.070
and many people with constipation, it's very important to realize,
205
00:12:30.409 --> 00:12:33.220
many people with constipation and heartburn, it's not a laxative
206
00:12:33.250 --> 00:12:37.039
deficiency for you. It's a liver issue because bile is
207
00:12:37.059 --> 00:12:40.399
the lubricant for stool. And if your bile is not flowing,
208
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.059
if you don't have a healthy liver, then most likely
209
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.860
you're going to have some sort of gas floating in constipation.
210
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.600
So to resolve that, rather than laxatives, I always detoxify
211
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.720
the liver. And I cover those remedies in the course,
212
00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:56.490
but I'll show you some today. Also, The liver being
213
00:12:56.509 --> 00:12:59.490
the master organ for hormones, when the liver is stagnant,
214
00:12:59.549 --> 00:13:03.850
we go into hormonal imbalance. For women, it's usually progesterone deficiency,
215
00:13:03.950 --> 00:13:09.950
estrogen excess. And that causes symptoms of PMS, so breast tenderness, cramping, clotting,
216
00:13:10.029 --> 00:13:16.039
mood swings, right? And when progesterone is low, GABA, the
217
00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:19.759
anti-anxiety neurotransmitter, doesn't work so well in the brain. Yeah,
218
00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:24.240
so women with PMS symptoms might experience more sadness, anxiety, insomnia, etc.,
219
00:13:25.460 --> 00:13:30.610
And that's why with PMS, you have mood swings, you
220
00:13:30.629 --> 00:13:33.110
have the hormonal symptoms like the breast tenderness, cramp and clotting,
221
00:13:33.330 --> 00:13:36.669
and you have digestive issues, right? Because most of it
222
00:13:36.710 --> 00:13:39.370
is coming from the liver. So you can see how
223
00:13:39.409 --> 00:13:43.970
the liver affects mental health as well, yeah? Now with
224
00:13:44.070 --> 00:13:48.620
all this chronic inflammation, what happens is chronic inflammation, the
225
00:13:48.659 --> 00:13:53.230
body needs to produce cortisol to reduce chronic inflammation. Who
226
00:13:53.269 --> 00:13:56.460
produces cortisol? Your adrenal glands and other cells in your body,
227
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.340
of course. Now, our adrenal glands are made for fight, flight,
228
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:06.639
or freeze. They are our protective mechanism. So every day,
229
00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:11.360
your adrenal glands are overworking from financial stress, from breakups,
230
00:14:11.539 --> 00:14:17.080
from marriage problems, from working every day, etc., And also
231
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.279
our adrenal glands are stressed because we have trauma stored
232
00:14:20.299 --> 00:14:22.480
in our body from childhood. And we'll talk about trauma
233
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.720
and how that's affecting the adrenal glands. But your adrenal
234
00:14:25.740 --> 00:14:29.039
glands are naturally on overdrive every day. And then the
235
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:32.480
chronic inflammation from leaky gut, as well as the toxicity
236
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:38.809
from liver toxicity, creates this demand for more cortisol. So
237
00:14:38.830 --> 00:14:41.250
your adrenal glands have to work extra hard now, first
238
00:14:41.289 --> 00:14:45.090
dealing with stress, then dealing with unhealed trauma, and then
239
00:14:45.110 --> 00:14:49.009
dealing with chronic inflammation. So most people then get wiped out,
240
00:14:49.049 --> 00:14:52.179
and they go into what we call adrenal fatigue. With
241
00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:56.000
adrenal fatigue, then you get a cortisol imbalance. And when
242
00:14:56.019 --> 00:14:59.120
you have a cortisol imbalance, all your neurotransmitters start dropping,
243
00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:03.850
and your thyroid levels start dropping as well. So serotonin, dopamine, GABA,
244
00:15:04.230 --> 00:15:08.970
melatonin as well, the sleep hormone, that all goes plummeting down.
245
00:15:08.990 --> 00:15:14.710
And also... The conversion of T4 to T3, so the
246
00:15:14.950 --> 00:15:18.330
inactive thyroid to the active thyroid, that suffers as well.
247
00:15:18.889 --> 00:15:22.450
So suddenly we have people with subclinical hypothyroidism as well
248
00:15:22.549 --> 00:15:28.340
from burnout. The combination of this leads to mental health symptoms,
249
00:15:28.379 --> 00:15:32.600
whether it's anxiety, depression, insomnia, OCD, suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem,
250
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:36.309
you name it. It leads to chronic diseases, hormonal issues,
251
00:15:36.590 --> 00:15:42.320
susceptibility to cancer, and the toxicity obviously shows up as psoriasis, eczema, etc.
252
00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:47.759
Chronic inflammation as heart disease, arthritis, asthma. You can see
253
00:15:47.820 --> 00:15:51.250
how everything stems from the gut, the liver, the adrenal system,
254
00:15:51.809 --> 00:15:56.309
and stress, as well as unhealed trauma. So in my
255
00:15:56.389 --> 00:15:59.049
online course, I cover how to heal the gut, the liver,
256
00:15:59.370 --> 00:16:03.169
emotional healing exercises for trauma, Then, of course, family constellations
257
00:16:03.230 --> 00:16:06.250
therapy to release ancestral trauma, which we'll go into, and
258
00:16:06.370 --> 00:16:09.269
homeopathic remedies, which we're going to talk about today, why
259
00:16:09.350 --> 00:16:13.490
they're very important also, yeah, for mental health and to
260
00:16:13.529 --> 00:16:14.909
release trauma.
261
00:16:16.029 --> 00:16:21.679
So another endemic physical malady, especially in my own country
262
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.000
and U.S. and probably in North America in general, is
263
00:16:25.139 --> 00:16:28.440
weight issues and obesity. And that's certainly related to everything
264
00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:29.860
you're talking about as well, right?
265
00:16:30.889 --> 00:16:36.350
Absolutely. So the biggest success I've seen with weight issues
266
00:16:36.389 --> 00:16:38.620
is a combination of, first of all, removing toxicity, getting
267
00:16:38.659 --> 00:16:41.519
that liver moving. When the toxins are out, your metabolism
268
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:43.960
picks up and you can burn that fat much easier.
269
00:16:44.820 --> 00:16:46.860
A lot of weight gain is due to water retention.
270
00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:50.019
So when you detoxify, you're holding on to less water
271
00:16:50.059 --> 00:16:52.399
as well. Naturally, you let go of all the water
272
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.470
that's building up. Then you need to stabilize your cortisol levels.
273
00:16:57.210 --> 00:17:00.769
because of unhealed stress. When you're stressed, most people will
274
00:17:00.809 --> 00:17:05.000
binge eat. So that hunger pang is emotional eating. And
275
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:06.940
why do we emotionally eat? Because there's an emotion that's
276
00:17:06.980 --> 00:17:09.900
not healed. And so when you heal the trauma, so
277
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:11.579
at the retreats I do, I do a lot of
278
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:17.039
family consolation therapy and trauma healing. When you feel resolved inside,
279
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.799
you don't have that craving anymore to fill that void
280
00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:25.609
with food. And then, of course, when you are burnt out,
281
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.319
When your adrenal glands are exhausted, your metabolism is not
282
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.980
working so well. So you cannot burn fat very quickly.
283
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:37.089
And you're binging on carbs and salts, of course, to
284
00:17:37.130 --> 00:17:41.809
keep going. So a combination of toxicity, of burnout, of
285
00:17:41.890 --> 00:17:45.549
binge eating and unhealed trauma leads people to keep the
286
00:17:45.589 --> 00:17:48.150
weight on and makes it difficult for people to lose
287
00:17:48.190 --> 00:17:50.380
the weight. And then they starve themselves, they go on
288
00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:52.259
strange diets, but they don't feel good inside. And then
289
00:17:52.299 --> 00:17:55.160
they put the weight back on again quickly. So my
290
00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:58.710
program really guides you to healing the pillars of health.
291
00:17:58.869 --> 00:18:01.390
Five pillars of health, very important for any disease and
292
00:18:01.430 --> 00:18:06.509
weight loss. Gut health, liver health, adrenal health, emotional, the
293
00:18:06.549 --> 00:18:10.460
childhood traumas, et cetera, and systemic health, healing the ancestral traumas,
294
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.279
the anger we pick up from mom against dad, or
295
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.099
the suffering of our grandparents during the war that led
296
00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:20.900
to our phobia of, you know, closed chambers or of,
297
00:18:20.900 --> 00:18:25.289
I don't know, fear of authority or different cultures. We
298
00:18:25.329 --> 00:18:29.490
absorb these traumas and we're living them unconsciously. So with
299
00:18:29.509 --> 00:18:33.109
family constellations therapy, we do healing sentences and people can
300
00:18:33.170 --> 00:18:35.029
walk out of these inherited traumas as well.
301
00:18:36.339 --> 00:18:40.039
And as you described the interconnectedness of all these systems
302
00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:42.619
and how that works with our gut health and our
303
00:18:42.660 --> 00:18:48.019
digestive processes and especially the liver's primary role in all this,
304
00:18:49.579 --> 00:18:52.140
when things start getting out of balance for all these
305
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.359
reasons with the roots in trauma or roots in exposure
306
00:18:56.380 --> 00:19:00.319
to toxins in our environment, food today, or whether it's
307
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.240
overwork and stress, whatever it is that's going on or
308
00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:07.200
a combination thereof, we get in kind of a non-virtuous cycle, right?
309
00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:10.220
And then there's a cascading effect, right? There's all these
310
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.839
downstream cascading ill effects and ultimately leading to systemic inflammation,
311
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.940
which is really then the basis of all the chronic illnesses, right?
312
00:19:19.460 --> 00:19:23.940
So somehow we have to begin to stop the momentum
313
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:28.400
or interrupt the momentum of that non-virtuous cycle and begin
314
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:30.990
getting it moved the other way. And I assume... That
315
00:19:31.029 --> 00:19:32.769
if we can get it moving the other way, the
316
00:19:32.990 --> 00:19:37.119
body has a miraculous quality for self-healing and the design
317
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.519
of our body is just amazing to begin with. So
318
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:43.279
it is designed to work, right? If we can get
319
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.650
it moving in the right direction, can we create a
320
00:19:45.730 --> 00:19:50.700
positive momentum that will then support us in living our lives? optimally?
321
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:53.890
So I wonder if you could talk about how that works.
322
00:19:54.670 --> 00:19:56.890
Absolutely. I love that question for you, because most people
323
00:19:56.930 --> 00:19:59.670
make the mistake of suppressing symptoms, either with medications or
324
00:19:59.710 --> 00:20:02.490
even with natural products, by taking the chamomile tea for
325
00:20:02.529 --> 00:20:06.029
sleep or the coffee for more energy. And that perpetuates
326
00:20:06.049 --> 00:20:09.059
this negative cycle. But when you heal the pillars, right,
327
00:20:09.099 --> 00:20:12.299
so for gut health, probiotics, vitamin D, some other amino
328
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.200
acids that I cover in the course, you stop the inflammation.
329
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:17.920
You change your diet, of course, very important. I often
330
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:20.839
get clients to remove the gluten, the dairy, the beef,
331
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:25.640
the excessive alcohol, the sugar, etc. Right there, you're stopping
332
00:20:25.980 --> 00:20:30.430
leaky gut, chronic damage to your intestines and chronic inflammation. Then,
333
00:20:30.470 --> 00:20:33.089
of course, my course covers a lot of homeopathic remedies
334
00:20:33.130 --> 00:20:35.740
as well as herbs to detoxify the liver. Because the
335
00:20:35.819 --> 00:20:39.420
liver is really the seat of most people's problems. Most
336
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:41.900
people are taking probiotics. Most people are focusing on diet
337
00:20:41.940 --> 00:20:45.019
and gut health, but they're not healing the liver. And
338
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.059
when you forget to heal the liver, the bile doesn't flow,
339
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:51.720
the hormones don't self-regulate. So you're masking symptoms and you
340
00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:53.869
think you're getting better, but if the liver is stuck,
341
00:20:54.170 --> 00:20:58.029
you're going to collapse back into chronic illness. So things
342
00:20:58.069 --> 00:21:03.029
like milk thistle, dandelion, homeopathic remedies as well that are
343
00:21:03.069 --> 00:21:07.609
covered there. Nux vomita, lycopodium, et cetera. These transform the
344
00:21:07.630 --> 00:21:11.329
liver's function, gets it into a positive cycle. So you're detoxifying,
345
00:21:11.349 --> 00:21:13.569
you're getting rid of the junk, you're producing the right
346
00:21:13.630 --> 00:21:17.549
digestive juices, then you're keeping the right digestive juices, then
347
00:21:17.589 --> 00:21:22.319
keep your microbiome, the gut bacteria, healthy. So when you
348
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.339
detoxify your liver, you create a positive cycle in your gut,
349
00:21:25.859 --> 00:21:27.900
because you've got the right bioform. You get rid of
350
00:21:27.940 --> 00:21:31.519
the constipation, you come naturally into hormonal balance. So instead
351
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:35.480
of taking hormone remedies and all this stuff that's forcing
352
00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:38.789
the hormones in a certain way, detoxify your liver, support
353
00:21:38.809 --> 00:21:43.569
your adrenal glands, herbs like ashwagandha, rhodiola, etc. Of course,
354
00:21:43.609 --> 00:21:45.890
I use these with precaution, depending on the medical history
355
00:21:45.910 --> 00:21:48.890
of a person. So please don't just take these blindly.
356
00:21:49.089 --> 00:21:52.579
Consult with your naturopath. But when you clean up the liver,
357
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.009
support the adrenal system, everything starts to self-regulate. You're not
358
00:21:56.130 --> 00:21:59.789
forcing anything in any direction. And because of that, you
359
00:21:59.809 --> 00:22:02.789
get more long-term healing. And it's cheaper to heal that
360
00:22:02.829 --> 00:22:05.839
way as well. You know, people spend thousands of supplements
361
00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:09.519
suppressing symptoms. But when you self-regulate, you need less supplements
362
00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:12.430
over time. And then the biggest cause of the negative
363
00:22:12.470 --> 00:22:15.630
cycle is this unhealed trauma sitting in our nervous system, yeah?
364
00:22:16.150 --> 00:22:21.119
The childhood, whatever happened, whether it's divorce, mom getting beaten
365
00:22:21.150 --> 00:22:23.519
by dad, dad being absent, mom going on a trip
366
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:28.920
and abandoning you, yeah? Grandparents pouring their sorrow, sadness of
367
00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:32.769
whether it's poverty or The sadness of grandma pouring it
368
00:22:32.809 --> 00:22:34.750
onto your mom and your mom feeling burdened by it.
369
00:22:34.849 --> 00:22:38.130
So you feel her unhappiness. All these things program you,
370
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:42.680
your beliefs, your personality, your emotions. This is what keeps
371
00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:45.880
you stuck in a cycle of negativity. And so family
372
00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:50.119
constellations therapy, the healing sentences, the emotional healing lifts you
373
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:52.259
out of there. And when you're lifted out of there,
374
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:54.660
you're not in this fight, flight or freeze response. You're
375
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:57.980
not stressing your nervous system. So you naturally recover much
376
00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:01.279
faster because you're not in this dark cloud of negative
377
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:05.160
emotions from your childhood or from your family system. So
378
00:23:05.309 --> 00:23:07.829
that's how you break the cycle. You need the gut,
379
00:23:08.009 --> 00:23:11.930
the liver, the adrenal system, child trauma, and family trauma.
380
00:23:13.309 --> 00:23:15.650
One of the unique things about your work, Amit, there
381
00:23:15.670 --> 00:23:20.470
are many wonderful holistic physicians and naturopaths in the world today,
382
00:23:20.490 --> 00:23:24.200
people practicing integrative medicine and functional medicine. But then the
383
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:26.759
world of psychotherapy tends to be apart from that. And
384
00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:29.519
you have a lot of psychotherapists, lots of wonderful different
385
00:23:29.539 --> 00:23:33.680
models of psychotherapy. But you really bring these two things together.
386
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:38.480
And with this very holistic and integrative approach to healing
387
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:42.259
and natural medicine. And then you also are very actively
388
00:23:42.339 --> 00:23:48.049
involved with supporting your patients with psychotherapy using this family
389
00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:51.509
consolation therapy, which I believe is the Hellinger work, the
390
00:23:51.569 --> 00:23:53.740
origins of that. And so I wonder if you could
391
00:23:53.779 --> 00:23:57.839
talk about for a moment this integration of psychotherapy and
392
00:23:58.019 --> 00:24:02.660
integrative medicine in the healing process. You've been alluding already,
393
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:05.029
but I wonder if you could just go further with that.
394
00:24:05.049 --> 00:24:08.670
Because one could do either, but they're being done in
395
00:24:08.730 --> 00:24:11.490
a more integrated way. I would assume there's probably some
396
00:24:11.569 --> 00:24:13.170
synergistic benefits from that.
397
00:24:14.529 --> 00:24:17.349
Absolutely. So if you heal your mind and don't heal
398
00:24:17.369 --> 00:24:21.440
your body, then you're also stuck in chronic disease and
399
00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:25.019
chronic inflammation. And then if you take supplements without healing
400
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:28.559
the trauma, releasing the trauma, yeah, your body's under control,
401
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:32.319
but the mind, the unhealed trauma is stressing your nervous system,
402
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:36.119
creating disease. I'm gonna give a few examples, yeah? So
403
00:24:36.289 --> 00:24:39.549
I had a patient with cancer, stomach cancer, and it
404
00:24:39.569 --> 00:24:42.190
started about a few months after her father cheated on
405
00:24:42.230 --> 00:24:46.150
her mother. So she was, of course, shocked and angry,
406
00:24:46.750 --> 00:24:50.630
but why was she angry? Basically, her mother was grieving
407
00:24:51.529 --> 00:24:55.299
and rejecting the father. And the mother complained to my client, oh,
408
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:56.819
your dad is so bad. This is what he's done.
409
00:24:56.940 --> 00:24:59.000
So of course, and many of us do, this is
410
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.119
very natural. We are loyal to the weaker parent. So
411
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:05.420
my client took on the anger of her mother, rejected
412
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:08.200
her father and kind of rescued her mother, became the
413
00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:13.150
parent of her mother. And that is dysfunctional for our
414
00:25:13.470 --> 00:25:17.109
nervous system, for any organism, for human beings, it's dysfunctional.
415
00:25:18.369 --> 00:25:22.259
And Once I got her to really release the mom's anger, saying,
416
00:25:22.299 --> 00:25:25.480
dear mom, I suffer with you. I love you very much.
417
00:25:26.339 --> 00:25:29.059
I carry your pain with you. And I see that
418
00:25:29.140 --> 00:25:33.000
my pain is different from your pain. I love my
419
00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:35.779
father very much. And out of love and loyalty to you,
420
00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:38.279
I am looking away from him. I'm moving away from him.
421
00:25:39.140 --> 00:25:41.660
Please forgive me if I let your anger be yours
422
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.250
with deep respect because you're the big one. I'm the
423
00:25:44.289 --> 00:25:48.450
young little one. This is the consolation therapy. And immediately
424
00:25:48.470 --> 00:25:51.170
at that point, she felt like, ah, okay, I realized
425
00:25:51.609 --> 00:25:54.109
I was swimming in my mom's anger and upsetness and
426
00:25:54.170 --> 00:25:56.869
rescuing her. And by bowing down to my mother as
427
00:25:56.930 --> 00:26:00.200
the big one and respecting her as the adult, I
428
00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:03.500
see that her journey of suffering, me rejecting my father,
429
00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:07.640
she's not getting stronger. By me allowing her to feel
430
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.720
her pain, I see her as the adult and an
431
00:26:09.859 --> 00:26:14.049
enabled being. That set my client free, one. Then I
432
00:26:14.089 --> 00:26:16.390
got her to imagine looking at her dad. So the
433
00:26:16.410 --> 00:26:18.049
parents don't have to be there, yeah, in this therapy.
434
00:26:18.769 --> 00:26:20.970
I got her to imagine looking at her dad, saying,
435
00:26:20.990 --> 00:26:24.539
dear dad, it shocked me what you did. Yeah, I
436
00:26:24.579 --> 00:26:27.720
was surprised. And it's costing me my life though to
437
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:33.359
reject you. Yeah, please forgive me. I'm your daughter. Yeah,
438
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:35.900
and I do take you back into my heart. I've
439
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:39.529
always been your daughter. Okay, she felt a deep relief
440
00:26:39.869 --> 00:26:43.339
down in her system. And believe it or not, six
441
00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:48.660
months later, without chemotherapy, without drugs, et cetera, no cancer.
442
00:26:49.349 --> 00:26:55.230
Tumor markers just poof, gone. I have many other clients. Anxiety,
443
00:26:55.269 --> 00:26:59.630
for example. Somebody came in, chronic anxiety, overwhelmed. We were
444
00:26:59.650 --> 00:27:02.369
doing homeopathy. We were doing the adrenal support. We were
445
00:27:02.390 --> 00:27:04.890
doing the detox. And of course, those are important to
446
00:27:04.910 --> 00:27:08.170
stabilize the body. But there was this underlying overwhelm that
447
00:27:08.250 --> 00:27:11.549
kept persisting. So I got her to go home, ask
448
00:27:11.589 --> 00:27:14.769
her mom, was there a miscarriage or abortion? And she
449
00:27:14.789 --> 00:27:16.869
came back to the clinic shocked. She was like, how
450
00:27:16.910 --> 00:27:20.349
did you know? I was right. There was a miscarriage
451
00:27:20.390 --> 00:27:22.819
in her family. And now why is that important for you?
452
00:27:23.539 --> 00:27:28.599
Because when there's a miscarriage, we often forget about that
453
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:31.420
child one. So they're excluded. These are the rules of
454
00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:34.799
constellation that we need to include everyone. That child, miscarriage
455
00:27:34.819 --> 00:27:38.319
child was excluded. Number two, my client came after the
456
00:27:38.339 --> 00:27:41.589
miscarriage child. So in terms of birth order or life
457
00:27:41.690 --> 00:27:45.470
order or soul order, she was second child, not first.
458
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:49.339
So she was feeling overwhelmed because she was acting the
459
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:52.579
first position, but she belonged to the second child position.
460
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:55.700
So I got her to do this exercise in family
461
00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:58.640
constellations where I got her to imagine her parents behind her.
462
00:27:59.500 --> 00:28:01.839
Then I got her to imagine this first child behind
463
00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:04.309
her as well, in between her and the parents. Then
464
00:28:04.329 --> 00:28:07.990
I got her to feel the yeah feel her position
465
00:28:08.490 --> 00:28:12.470
as this in second place as a second child now
466
00:28:12.490 --> 00:28:14.750
it's hard to imagine but for the first time in
467
00:28:14.910 --> 00:28:19.539
her life her heart relaxed overwhelmed disappeared and she didn't
468
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:23.980
need therapy anymore okay so i agree it's important to
469
00:28:24.059 --> 00:28:27.180
use the holistic medicine yeah i have thousands of patients
470
00:28:27.420 --> 00:28:32.750
using homeopathy whether it's um Or a metallic for deep depression, guilt,
471
00:28:32.809 --> 00:28:35.930
et cetera. Ignatia for fear of betrayal. And we'll talk
472
00:28:35.970 --> 00:28:39.210
about homeopathic remedies actually very soon. But it's also important
473
00:28:39.230 --> 00:28:41.819
to heal the root cause, which often comes from systemic
474
00:28:41.859 --> 00:28:48.279
or family trauma. Yeah. So hopefully I've described the importance
475
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:51.720
of combining the two. Let me talk about the biology
476
00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:54.960
as well. So yes, I've had people with chronic anxiety
477
00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:57.509
as well. And they've done all the therapies in the world.
478
00:28:58.029 --> 00:29:01.450
But guess what? They had a food sensitivity. I actually
479
00:29:01.470 --> 00:29:04.170
had a patient, a suicidal patient, who had done every
480
00:29:04.190 --> 00:29:09.089
single therapy, energy healing, psychotherapy, etc. And when we removed
481
00:29:09.150 --> 00:29:12.619
gluten from her diet, we healed her gut with probiotics
482
00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:18.500
and other amino acids, the suicidal thoughts went. So it
483
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:21.880
was mostly gluten. So sometimes the biology is the problem,
484
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.339
especially when there's burnout. People are stressed and burnt out.
485
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:28.839
So yes, they'll do the therapy to feel better, but
486
00:29:28.859 --> 00:29:31.740
the body's exhausted. And when the body's exhausted, cortisol is
487
00:29:31.789 --> 00:29:34.609
out of balance. Neurotransmitters cannot catch up. So we need
488
00:29:34.650 --> 00:29:37.779
adrenal support then. You need the B vitamins, the ashwagandha,
489
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:41.940
the rhodiola, and all these herbs that I cover in
490
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.400
the courses because the body needs nourishment to make the
491
00:29:45.460 --> 00:29:49.730
right neurotransmitters. So healing the mind and the body together
492
00:29:49.869 --> 00:29:52.369
is essential for well-being. Essential.
493
00:29:54.250 --> 00:29:59.589
I love the... the family consolation therapy is so illuminating
494
00:29:59.630 --> 00:30:02.930
because in many ways, most of us don't realize this,
495
00:30:03.509 --> 00:30:13.720
but we're all playing out the unprocessed and uncompleted emotional
496
00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:18.039
lives of our ancestors. And in many ways, there's some
497
00:30:18.059 --> 00:30:24.440
wonderful psychotherapeutic work, Virginia Satir did a sculpting work, and
498
00:30:24.460 --> 00:30:28.009
she would show how when people were locked into chronic conflict,
499
00:30:28.029 --> 00:30:31.390
like couples locked into conflict, generally the roots went back
500
00:30:31.470 --> 00:30:33.769
to both of their parents, and they're really playing out,
501
00:30:33.890 --> 00:30:36.579
it's like the ghosts of their parents are playing out
502
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:39.819
these conflicts through them, right? And it can be so
503
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:43.200
illuminating when we can actually release these, and whether our
504
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:46.119
parents are still with us or not, to release, and
505
00:30:46.259 --> 00:30:49.089
with complete love, but that's their work, we have our
506
00:30:49.140 --> 00:30:51.430
own work, we have our own destiny, but it gets
507
00:30:51.529 --> 00:30:53.970
all mixed up and conflated, and we can be suffering
508
00:30:54.009 --> 00:30:55.970
in all sorts of ways and have no idea what
509
00:30:55.990 --> 00:30:58.130
the roots are of it. It's very illuminating.
510
00:30:58.890 --> 00:31:00.910
Absolutely. You see, we do it out of love and loyalty.
511
00:31:01.150 --> 00:31:05.000
Nothing wrong with it. So I never pathologize these loyalties
512
00:31:05.019 --> 00:31:07.900
because then if I say that's wrong, then we're forcing
513
00:31:07.940 --> 00:31:10.359
ourselves to get better. But when I invite you to
514
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:13.079
feel the love and loyalty you have to your parents' suffering,
515
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:16.960
only in that awareness do you then create choice for
516
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:19.269
yourself and say, okay, you know what? This is unnecessary.
517
00:31:19.670 --> 00:31:22.450
I see, Dad, you're big. I see, Mom, you're capable.
518
00:31:22.980 --> 00:31:25.559
Is it okay if I give this to you? So
519
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:29.599
always with permission rather than resistance. Otherwise, it becomes a
520
00:31:29.660 --> 00:31:30.980
blocked healing and it doesn't work.
521
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:38.440
So let's talk about homeopathy now. And maybe you could...
522
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.640
Probably many of our listeners are familiar to one degree
523
00:31:41.660 --> 00:31:44.920
or another with homeopathy, but maybe some not. So I
524
00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:48.589
wonder if you could just describe homeopathy, which at least
525
00:31:48.630 --> 00:31:55.650
my understanding of it is that... Using various herbal medicines
526
00:31:55.769 --> 00:31:59.279
and various things, we use this kind of, not the
527
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:01.299
same as the world of microdosing, but these kind of
528
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:05.559
microdoses of things that begin to trigger a healing process
529
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:10.299
in the body. But it's a little difficult sometimes for
530
00:32:10.339 --> 00:32:14.180
people to grasp because it was seemingly, and according to
531
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.799
Western science, the doses we're doing, you wouldn't think they
532
00:32:17.819 --> 00:32:21.400
would have any effect, or we can't see in the
533
00:32:21.460 --> 00:32:23.769
test tube maybe. I don't know where that stands in
534
00:32:23.789 --> 00:32:27.130
terms of that kind of science investigating homeopathy, but certainly
535
00:32:27.250 --> 00:32:31.529
many people have experienced profound healing through homeopathy. So just
536
00:32:31.569 --> 00:32:34.630
describe what homeopathy is for us a little bit, and
537
00:32:34.670 --> 00:32:37.319
then perhaps how you use it with your clients and patients.
538
00:32:38.579 --> 00:32:41.619
With pleasure. So homeopathy, one of my favorite modalities, yeah,
539
00:32:41.660 --> 00:32:45.309
because it's energetic in nature and it's energetic because there's
540
00:32:45.369 --> 00:32:48.410
actually no molecule of the original substance, the herb, the plant,
541
00:32:48.430 --> 00:32:51.269
the mineral, the animal thingy in the tablet or the
542
00:32:51.309 --> 00:32:54.130
liquid that you're taking. And that's why it's profound because
543
00:32:54.190 --> 00:32:59.059
it works at a vibrational level and we matter. Basically
544
00:32:59.099 --> 00:33:03.500
we are vibrational beings and the vibration transforms into matter. Yeah.
545
00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:06.390
And so disease is, is a state of matter that
546
00:33:06.589 --> 00:33:11.549
is created by a faulty vibration. So we can force
547
00:33:11.569 --> 00:33:14.650
the matter with herbs and supplements, but if the vibration
548
00:33:14.690 --> 00:33:17.369
is faulty and we don't transform that, the matter remains sick.
549
00:33:18.609 --> 00:33:21.309
And then when you transform the vibration with homeopathic remedies,
550
00:33:21.369 --> 00:33:25.410
with trauma release, with constellation work, and then the matter
551
00:33:25.450 --> 00:33:28.750
starts to heal because the vibration shifts. So we got
552
00:33:28.769 --> 00:33:30.450
to heal the vibration in order for the matter to
553
00:33:30.490 --> 00:33:34.880
heal more completely and more permanently. So what is homeopathy
554
00:33:34.900 --> 00:33:39.799
and how is it created? Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a legend,
555
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:43.700
a legend in medicine. He is the originator of homeopathy.
556
00:33:44.380 --> 00:33:48.799
And he discovered homeopathy like this. He basically, there's a
557
00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:52.400
bark of a tree, the cinchona tree that has quinine
558
00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:56.369
in it and it's used to treat malaria. He overdosed
559
00:33:56.410 --> 00:33:59.329
on this bark and he took large amounts and got
560
00:33:59.349 --> 00:34:02.490
the symptoms of malaria, headache, joint pain, et cetera. So
561
00:34:02.529 --> 00:34:04.609
he was like, hang on a sec, How come if
562
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.269
I take large amounts of something, I get the symptoms
563
00:34:07.309 --> 00:34:10.110
of what it's meant to cure? And he said, aha.
564
00:34:11.090 --> 00:34:14.690
So that means if I have symptoms of something, and
565
00:34:14.789 --> 00:34:18.110
what if I take tiny amounts of this amount, then
566
00:34:18.170 --> 00:34:24.110
that's whatever creates symptoms in large amounts, in toxic doses, yeah?
567
00:34:25.090 --> 00:34:27.449
Then that means if I take small amounts of that
568
00:34:27.510 --> 00:34:32.130
same substance, it will cure the symptoms of what it
569
00:34:32.429 --> 00:34:36.260
would create in large amounts. toxic doses, basically, yeah? So
570
00:34:36.340 --> 00:34:41.980
like cures like, the principles of homeopathy. Let me simplify that.
571
00:34:43.500 --> 00:34:46.659
If you cut an onion, sniff it, you get watery
572
00:34:46.699 --> 00:34:50.289
eyes and a runny nose, yeah? And so when somebody
573
00:34:50.369 --> 00:34:52.710
comes with an allergy, watery eyes and a runny nose,
574
00:34:52.909 --> 00:34:55.010
I say, ah, this looks like the picture of an onion,
575
00:34:55.030 --> 00:34:56.909
like somebody who sniffed an onion. So I'll give them
576
00:34:56.929 --> 00:35:02.530
a tiny dose, a homeopathic dose of onion. Similarly, arsenicum album,
577
00:35:02.610 --> 00:35:05.110
a very common remedy, is used for food poisoning. If
578
00:35:05.130 --> 00:35:07.989
you take large doses of arsenic, you're not meant to.
579
00:35:08.030 --> 00:35:12.099
It's a poison. It'll kill you. People get diarrhea, vomiting,
580
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:17.239
all that. And so when somebody comes with the symptoms
581
00:35:18.019 --> 00:35:22.469
of food poisoning, so diarrhea, vomiting, chills, this thirst for water,
582
00:35:23.210 --> 00:35:25.989
It looks like a picture of arsenicum album. Even though
583
00:35:26.010 --> 00:35:28.610
they haven't taken arsenic, they've just got a bug, but
584
00:35:28.650 --> 00:35:31.170
the picture looks like that of arsenicum album. So I'll
585
00:35:31.190 --> 00:35:37.119
give them homeopathic arsenicum. Similarly for mental health, there's or
586
00:35:37.139 --> 00:35:43.760
a metallicum, for example. Yeah, homeopathic gold. So people who
587
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:47.460
feel guilty, they've gone through a sense of failure, depression,
588
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:51.300
suicidal thoughts, et cetera, I'll often use homeopathic gold or
589
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:56.530
a metallicum. I also use homeopathy for trauma. Why? Because
590
00:35:56.550 --> 00:36:00.289
trauma is a vibration. It's not a physical thing. It's
591
00:36:00.329 --> 00:36:04.139
a vibration that's stuck in our nervous system. Yeah. So
592
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:08.119
a B vitamin cannot really release trauma per se. Psychotherapy can,
593
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:12.280
but vibrational medicine like homeopathy, like bath flowers, they touch
594
00:36:12.300 --> 00:36:15.210
the vibration of trauma and can release trauma. Yeah.
595
00:36:17.949 --> 00:36:22.230
What if transformation isn't just about thinking differently, but feeling differently?
596
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:25.500
Science shows us that true change happens when we align
597
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:28.940
not just our minds, but also the neural networks in
598
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:32.699
our hearts and guts. This heart-mind connection is the key
599
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:36.650
to deeper healing, resilience, and expanded awareness. That's why I
600
00:36:36.710 --> 00:36:40.570
created the HeartMind All Access Membership and Community, a space

And that's why homeopathy is amazing because it transforms lives.
615
00:37:39.849 --> 00:37:43.010
the entire physiology, the vibration, et cetera, of a person
616
00:37:43.050 --> 00:37:48.409
from deep within, yeah, into a permanent healing. For example,
617
00:37:49.230 --> 00:37:54.820
client with seizures. Yeah. She came in and I intuitively felt, okay,
618
00:37:55.380 --> 00:37:58.199
what happened with your sister? She was shocked. I didn't
619
00:37:58.219 --> 00:38:00.639
even know she had a sister. She started crying. She
620
00:38:00.659 --> 00:38:01.760
was like, how did you know? I was like, I
621
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:05.280
don't know. There's something about your sister. She says, you're right.
622
00:38:06.409 --> 00:38:10.710
She says, when I was a young girl, My sister
623
00:38:10.769 --> 00:38:13.949
was 12 years old. We got into an accident, a
624
00:38:13.989 --> 00:38:17.440
car accident, and my sister was on my right side, yeah?
625
00:38:18.179 --> 00:38:21.480
And I lost my sister. She died in the accident, okay?
626
00:38:23.099 --> 00:38:26.179
Then after the accident, she didn't have any symptoms. Then
627
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:31.679
she had a dream that her daughter, she was pregnant, yeah?
628
00:38:31.780 --> 00:38:34.389
She had a dream that her sister was coming back
629
00:38:34.429 --> 00:38:38.329
to her through her daughter. So now her subconscious thinks
630
00:38:38.369 --> 00:38:42.329
her daughter is her sister. She doesn't know that mentally. Yeah.
631
00:38:43.789 --> 00:38:48.010
Now guess what? When the daughter reaches 12 years old,
632
00:38:48.489 --> 00:38:53.619
my client starts getting epileptic fits, seizures on her right side. Okay.
633
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:58.380
So in the therapy session, I got her to say
634
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:01.360
to her sister, not to her daughter, but to her sister,
635
00:39:01.579 --> 00:39:04.570
dear sister, you know, you're what's missing for me. I've
636
00:39:04.610 --> 00:39:07.230
missed you. I'm sorry I couldn't save you. So she
637
00:39:07.250 --> 00:39:09.849
could feel the stuck response of trying to rescue her sister. Yeah,
638
00:39:09.869 --> 00:39:12.869
that was stuck in a seizure response. And she cried.
639
00:39:12.909 --> 00:39:15.030
She bawled out from connecting to the deep love and
640
00:39:15.070 --> 00:39:18.250
grief of losing her sister. And she relaxed and she's like, OK,
641
00:39:18.260 --> 00:39:20.860
I don't need to save you right now. That night,
642
00:39:20.860 --> 00:39:23.559
50 to 80 percent, I kid you not, of reduction
643
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:27.809
in seizures. It sounds unbelievable, but it's true. And then
644
00:39:27.829 --> 00:39:32.449
I looked at homeopathic remedies. So in homeopathy, we have
645
00:39:32.489 --> 00:39:35.829
a beautiful book called The Repertory, and it has every bloody,
646
00:39:35.949 --> 00:39:39.710
excuse my language, sorry. It has every symptom you can imagine, right?
647
00:39:39.750 --> 00:39:42.809
So there's a whole chapter for types of traumas. So
648
00:39:43.030 --> 00:39:47.630
ailments or sicknesses from accidents, from parents fighting, from loss
649
00:39:47.670 --> 00:39:50.869
of business, from breakups, from death of a loved one,
650
00:39:50.889 --> 00:39:53.170
you name it. Right. So there's a whole chapter. So
651
00:39:53.210 --> 00:39:56.719
I looked at that ailments from accidents. There was about
652
00:39:56.780 --> 00:39:57.639
five or 10 remedies.
653
00:39:58.119 --> 00:39:58.320
Yeah.
654
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:02.119
Opium was one of them, homeopathic opium. And then I
655
00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:04.519
looked in the chapter of tremors and, you know, limbs
656
00:40:04.579 --> 00:40:08.469
and legs. And I looked at, you know, tremors in the,
657
00:40:09.050 --> 00:40:12.340
in the legs, Worse when falling asleep because my client
658
00:40:12.380 --> 00:40:14.760
would tremor on falling asleep. So her body wouldn't let
659
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:16.860
go of collapsing because she needed to fix something and
660
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:20.880
resolve something in her life, rescuing her sister. Again, in
661
00:40:20.940 --> 00:40:25.579
that chapter, opium came up. So, and there was other
662
00:40:25.619 --> 00:40:27.940
symptoms as well. So I gave her homeopathic opium.
663
00:40:29.300 --> 00:40:29.619
Gone.
664
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:37.030
Yeah. Seizures almost to zero. I think she's completely cured
665
00:40:37.050 --> 00:40:39.409
right now. We lost touch, but she's completely fine. I
666
00:40:39.429 --> 00:40:43.210
don't think even she's on medication anymore. Fully resolved, right?
667
00:40:43.389 --> 00:40:48.679
By combining the constellation work, the trauma healing, and homeopathy. Okay?
668
00:40:49.219 --> 00:40:53.039
That's the beauty of homeopathy and integrating medicine. And I
669
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:54.039
have lots of examples.
670
00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:56.940
We don't have to get too deep into this, but
671
00:40:56.960 --> 00:41:01.619
I'm just curious. So you said... The homeopathic medicine, whether
672
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:04.019
it's kind of in a tincture or whatever form it's in,
673
00:41:04.500 --> 00:41:08.099
no longer actually contains the molecule of the original substance,
674
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:14.690
but it contains the energetic vibration. So I wonder if anything,
675
00:41:14.730 --> 00:41:18.400
without getting too far afield in it, of. of how
676
00:41:18.460 --> 00:41:22.179
that's produced, how these are created. But then more importantly,
677
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:26.570
you know, if we're working with homeopathic medicine, what the
678
00:41:26.659 --> 00:41:29.550
sources of these are and whether there are good sources
679
00:41:29.590 --> 00:41:31.789
and not so great sources. I mean, how do we
680
00:41:31.829 --> 00:41:36.250
verify we're getting high quality homeopathic medicines that are done
681
00:41:36.909 --> 00:41:42.510
with however that's done, that we actually preserve the energetic
682
00:41:42.550 --> 00:41:45.150
vibration without having the actual molecule present?
683
00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:50.019
So homeopathic remedies are created out of plant substances, mineral substances,
684
00:41:50.099 --> 00:41:53.159
and animal byproducts. And also out of like anything out
685
00:41:53.199 --> 00:42:01.389
there in nature, like, um, yeah. Anything gold, uh, vaccines,
686
00:42:01.409 --> 00:42:03.699
you can find homeopathic versions of vaccines, you name it.
687
00:42:04.170 --> 00:42:05.889
How they create it is you take a tiny amount
688
00:42:06.050 --> 00:42:08.300
of the substance. They call it like one part of it.
689
00:42:08.929 --> 00:42:11.760
And you put in a hundred parts of, um, some grains,
690
00:42:11.860 --> 00:42:13.739
usually it's like lactose or something. And you grind that
691
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:17.159
for about four hours. Then you take one tiny part
692
00:42:17.179 --> 00:42:20.420
of that and put in a hundred parts of something else, yeah?
693
00:42:21.099 --> 00:42:24.300
So it's re-diluting. Eventually you now transfer this one part
694
00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:26.679
into water and alcohol. So you take one part of
695
00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:32.059
this ground substance, I'm simplifying it, okay? And you put
696
00:42:32.099 --> 00:42:34.179
a hundred parts of water and alcohol and you shake
697
00:42:34.219 --> 00:42:38.719
that up for a long time and then you take
698
00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:43.239
one drop of that and re-dilute it in 100 parts
699
00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:45.599
of water and alcohol and then you shake it up
700
00:42:45.739 --> 00:42:48.900
for a long time it's called potentization and you do
701
00:42:48.940 --> 00:42:53.159
this multiple times and when you cross when you do
702
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:58.050
12 dilutions you reach what's called a 12C usually at
703
00:42:58.070 --> 00:43:01.070
a 12C and beyond then you surpass what they call
704
00:43:01.190 --> 00:43:03.929
Avogadro's number I don't know the science behind it but
705
00:43:03.949 --> 00:43:07.230
basically there's no molecule left But the theory is that
706
00:43:07.269 --> 00:43:10.610
you polarize the water molecules or you just capture the vibration.
707
00:43:12.369 --> 00:43:16.440
We don't know how to measure the effect of homeopathy
708
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:22.280
with scientific tools. But that doesn't mean it's not valid.
709
00:43:22.619 --> 00:43:27.519
Science is just one modality of measuring phenomena. But it's
710
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:32.449
not the gold standard of experiencing life. God is beyond science.
711
00:43:33.050 --> 00:43:37.210
Nature is beyond science. Vibration is Science might catch up.
712
00:43:38.659 --> 00:43:40.630
The science is not the end all and be all
713
00:43:40.769 --> 00:43:45.010
of proof of any medicine. Yeah. And so that's how
714
00:43:45.050 --> 00:43:48.929
homeopathic remedies are made. And that's why they're so profound
715
00:43:49.489 --> 00:43:52.659
is because we look at the unique symptoms of a person.
716
00:43:53.340 --> 00:43:54.960
We look at the collection of symptoms and then choose
717
00:43:54.980 --> 00:43:59.039
the remedy that matches the entire picture. So for example, constipation,
718
00:43:59.059 --> 00:44:03.650
there's thousands of remedies for constipation, right? Max vomica, lycopodium,
719
00:44:03.710 --> 00:44:06.820
et cetera. I had a client with chronic constipation. We
720
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:11.179
tried the herbs, we tried the magnesium, we tried the triphala, everything.
721
00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:15.440
I even gave her homeopathic remedies specifically with constipation. It
722
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:18.119
didn't fully work. Then I looked at the traumas in
723
00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:21.989
her life. Guess what? She'd grown up with her parents fighting.
724
00:44:22.869 --> 00:44:25.150
And in that book called The Repertory, the homeopathic book,
725
00:44:25.170 --> 00:44:30.429
there's a chapter, ailments from discord between parents, arguments between parents.
726
00:44:31.309 --> 00:44:34.300
One of the remedies in there was graphites. And graphites
727
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:37.260
is a great constipation remedy. When I gave her graphites,
728
00:44:38.250 --> 00:44:42.090
constipation gone, right? So the beauty of homeopathy is we
729
00:44:42.110 --> 00:44:45.010
look at the uniqueness of symptoms. Is there bloating? Is
730
00:44:45.030 --> 00:44:49.110
there thirst? Yeah, is the constipation worse with water, with
731
00:44:49.190 --> 00:44:52.219
certain foods? Is your asthma worse at two in the morning?
732
00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:54.860
Is it better with warm drinks, cold drinks? We distinguish,
733
00:44:54.900 --> 00:44:59.570
we differentiate, yeah, your symptoms so we can select a
734
00:44:59.659 --> 00:45:02.980
more unique remedy for you. And because of the uniqueness
735
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:06.300
of the remedy, the healing goes much deeper, much faster,
736
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:07.679
and more permanent.
737
00:45:09.659 --> 00:45:12.559
It's changing the way you are. I've seen before, many
738
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:17.440
people have probably seen this, there was research done where
739
00:45:17.739 --> 00:45:26.239
the connection between our psychophysical state and water, and then
740
00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:31.130
that showing up in water, I think, freezing the water.
741
00:45:31.150 --> 00:45:33.710
So then you start to get crystalline patterns in the ice.
742
00:45:34.369 --> 00:45:38.510
And so when water around someone who's in a state
743
00:45:38.550 --> 00:45:40.969
of joy versus someone who's in a state of anger
744
00:45:41.010 --> 00:45:43.940
or a state of upset, you see completely different patterns
745
00:45:44.019 --> 00:45:46.320
in the water. So obviously we live in a vibrational
746
00:45:46.380 --> 00:45:49.340
and energy world and we're interconnected in that way profoundly.
747
00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:52.730
So it makes complete sense that that the ultimate healing
748
00:45:52.809 --> 00:45:55.429
is at the energetic level. And even in terms of
749
00:45:55.449 --> 00:45:57.719
quantum theory, we could be talking about we're getting into
750
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:01.639
the quantum level and quantum healing and so forth. So
751
00:46:01.739 --> 00:46:04.460
is there an international body that certifies the quality of
752
00:46:04.500 --> 00:46:08.530
homeopathic medicine so that people know they're getting quality or
753
00:46:08.550 --> 00:46:10.460
you just have to know the good brands or.
754
00:46:12.409 --> 00:46:15.489
Yeah. So on my website, when people sign up, I
755
00:46:15.550 --> 00:46:17.210
have access to professional dispensaries.
756
00:46:17.269 --> 00:46:17.530
Yeah.
757
00:46:17.750 --> 00:46:20.590
People get access to my professional dispensaries, the ones that
758
00:46:20.630 --> 00:46:24.210
I trust and even get discounts for specific homeopathic remedies.
759
00:46:24.829 --> 00:46:27.320
So I only trust those ones to be honest. Yeah.
760
00:46:27.340 --> 00:46:30.300
Cause they, they follow certain protocols for storing the remedies,
761
00:46:30.659 --> 00:46:32.739
making sure they're not near, you know, phones and all
762
00:46:32.780 --> 00:46:37.139
this other things that kind of affect homeopathic remedies. And
763
00:46:37.860 --> 00:46:41.639
they choose most of the professional brands that have, potent
764
00:46:42.739 --> 00:46:46.730
potent effects because there's some useless brands out there as
765
00:46:46.750 --> 00:46:49.110
well they put all the ingredients in there but there's
766
00:46:49.150 --> 00:46:54.480
no actual potent effect yeah and um so in these
767
00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:56.920
dispensaries also i keep a list of the ones that
768
00:46:56.940 --> 00:46:59.800
i choose the liver protocols as well And then I
769
00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:03.039
love using certain drops that combine different remedies as well.
770
00:47:03.059 --> 00:47:05.059
So you don't have to struggle figuring out which is
771
00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:07.639
the best remedy for you. I've got a list of
772
00:47:08.099 --> 00:47:12.090
products that have different five or six different homeopathic remedies
773
00:47:12.150 --> 00:47:17.309
blended together for gas issues, for constipation, for fear, for anxiety,
774
00:47:17.389 --> 00:47:22.760
for stimulating your immune system, for detoxifying your lymphatic system.
775
00:47:24.139 --> 00:47:26.699
So there's wonderful products out there. You just need to
776
00:47:26.719 --> 00:47:28.880
know where to look, and I've simplified it for everyone.
777
00:47:28.900 --> 00:47:31.420
So just go to the website, sign up in the email,
778
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:34.159
you get a link to the professional dispensary, and you're
779
00:47:34.179 --> 00:47:34.679
good to go.
780
00:47:36.409 --> 00:47:38.250
So we've been alluding to this all along, you've been
781
00:47:38.269 --> 00:47:42.530
alluding to this all along, but just the overall body-mind connection.
782
00:47:43.010 --> 00:47:44.989
I wonder if you could just talk a little bit
783
00:47:45.110 --> 00:47:48.670
more about the body-mind connection, because obviously when we're talking
784
00:47:48.690 --> 00:47:52.320
about energy healing, when we're talking about integrating psychotherapy and
785
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:56.150
trauma work with uh, the physical work of nutrition and,
786
00:47:56.170 --> 00:47:59.920
and holistic medicine and so forth were, were really in
787
00:47:59.960 --> 00:48:03.340
this body mind connection world. And so I just wonder
788
00:48:03.380 --> 00:48:06.820
if you could, um, elaborate a little more in terms
789
00:48:06.880 --> 00:48:11.530
of what you really learned through your work, uh, understanding
790
00:48:11.570 --> 00:48:14.869
about the body mind connection. And, you know, there's a whole, uh,
791
00:48:15.329 --> 00:48:22.559
thing in Western medicine about, um, uh, describing things as psychosomatic,
792
00:48:22.699 --> 00:48:25.849
as if that means they're not real, or that the
793
00:48:25.969 --> 00:48:29.909
placebo effect, and then of course, some people may not
794
00:48:29.949 --> 00:48:33.489
have heard about the nocebo effect, right? But as if
795
00:48:33.550 --> 00:48:37.530
these are things that invalidate, and in fact, they're really
796
00:48:37.630 --> 00:48:41.840
part of the overall healing process of understanding the mind
797
00:48:42.030 --> 00:48:45.940
and the body, and that the intelligence of our immune
798
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:51.059
system What science really can't even begin to explain. And
799
00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:56.909
there's obviously this incredible level of intelligence that's operating at
800
00:48:56.929 --> 00:48:58.909
so many different levels. What we think of as the
801
00:48:58.949 --> 00:49:03.389
mind that we're aware of at the energetic quantum level
802
00:49:03.469 --> 00:49:07.389
of spirit, of beingness. I mean, it's all on a continuum, obviously.
803
00:49:07.909 --> 00:49:10.219
And so I wonder if you could talk about sort
804
00:49:10.260 --> 00:49:13.380
of your understanding of all that and how that helps
805
00:49:13.420 --> 00:49:14.440
facilitate healing.
806
00:49:16.139 --> 00:49:19.570
I love that. So I've alluded to the gut, the liver,
807
00:49:19.940 --> 00:49:25.139
and the adrenal system. Yeah. How unhealthy foods, antibiotics, et cetera,
808
00:49:25.809 --> 00:49:28.550
destroy our gut microbiome, affect our neurotransmitters, affect our mood,
809
00:49:28.730 --> 00:49:32.199
how toxicity as well affects your brain chemicals. And when
810
00:49:32.219 --> 00:49:35.079
you have adrenal fatigue, that also affects your neurotransmitters, affecting
811
00:49:35.099 --> 00:49:37.000
your brain chemicals, and therefore your perception and your mood.
812
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:41.610
So that's the body-mind connection and the gut-brain axis people
813
00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:44.789
talk about, right? Let's go the other way around now.
814
00:49:46.489 --> 00:49:49.630
When your mom or dad is sad, right, you take
815
00:49:49.710 --> 00:49:52.849
on their sadness, yeah? And you, out of love and loyalty,
816
00:49:52.869 --> 00:49:56.170
you become sad with them. And so maybe your breathing changes,
817
00:49:56.210 --> 00:49:59.460
your posture changes, you go into depression, right? But very
818
00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:02.679
important now, when you are stressed or traumatized or unhappy,
819
00:50:02.699 --> 00:50:06.820
there's this big, beautiful nerve called the vagus nerve. It's
820
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:11.199
a massive nerve that innervates your breathing, your gut, your liver,
821
00:50:12.579 --> 00:50:17.119
your heart rate, etc. It actually releases chemicals called cytokines
822
00:50:17.139 --> 00:50:20.090
that affect your gut microbiome, your liver, the way your
823
00:50:20.110 --> 00:50:24.949
liver produces or releases bile and all that. Now, when
824
00:50:24.989 --> 00:50:27.650
you're stressed, traumatized, you have unhealed trauma in your nervous system,
825
00:50:27.849 --> 00:50:30.769
or you're sad for mom, or you're angry with your sister, etc.
826
00:50:32.389 --> 00:50:35.670
Your vagus nerve changes in function. It releases different chemicals
827
00:50:35.690 --> 00:50:37.469
to your liver, to your breathing, to your heart rate,
828
00:50:37.889 --> 00:50:43.159
to your gut. So it's transforming your physiology immediately. Immediately. Yeah.
829
00:50:43.719 --> 00:50:46.920
So imagine now you have unhealed stress and trauma perpetually
830
00:50:47.059 --> 00:50:50.079
stimulating this vagus nerve. You have to be sick, tired, etc.,
831
00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:55.079
your physiology is going to shift completely to match the
832
00:50:55.119 --> 00:50:57.340
kind of stress you're experiencing from the environment on a
833
00:50:57.380 --> 00:51:02.360
daily basis. So then you start becoming unhealthy, unhappy. That's
834
00:51:02.389 --> 00:51:06.730
why unhappiness and unhealthiness go together. Because the nervous system,
835
00:51:06.769 --> 00:51:09.170
the vagus nerve, your mind, the effect of the mind
836
00:51:09.230 --> 00:51:11.769
on the nerves, and then the effect of the nerves
837
00:51:11.829 --> 00:51:15.510
on your gut, liver, et cetera, they all happen simultaneously.
838
00:51:17.110 --> 00:51:19.090
And so the moment you release that trauma, the moment
839
00:51:19.110 --> 00:51:22.030
you express that anger or forgive mom for the abandonment
840
00:51:22.090 --> 00:51:26.530
or the abuse, the moment you forgive dad for, I
841
00:51:26.550 --> 00:51:29.199
don't know, breaking up with mom or causing the conflict,
842
00:51:29.719 --> 00:51:32.320
and you come back to that state of peace and neutrality,
843
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:35.960
your vagus nerve also resets itself. And then it sends
844
00:51:36.019 --> 00:51:40.059
different signals to your physiology, gut, liver, adrenals, etc. I
845
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:43.800
have to check that one, but basically the rest of
846
00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:48.420
your body. And so, if different signals are being sent,
847
00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:52.000
healthy signals are being sent, your physiology relaxes, comes back
848
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:54.570
into a healthy flow, your liver starts releasing the right
849
00:51:54.630 --> 00:51:57.230
amount of bile, your gut has the right kind of
850
00:51:57.289 --> 00:52:00.690
cytokines that then nourish your good bacteria back to a
851
00:52:00.809 --> 00:52:06.329
healthier state, leaky gut reduces, then chronic inflammation goes down, right?
852
00:52:06.650 --> 00:52:09.199
And everything starts to heal. And you can see that
853
00:52:10.260 --> 00:52:15.059
if somebody has arthritis, asthma, eczema, whatever, and they're stressed,
854
00:52:15.550 --> 00:52:20.329
usually their symptoms are worse, right? Because stress affects the
855
00:52:20.369 --> 00:52:23.219
nervous system, the vagus nerve, and that affects, of course,
856
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:25.920
all the organs. And when the organs are affected, then
857
00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:29.000
the chronic inflammation, the chronic disease gets stronger.
858
00:52:29.019 --> 00:52:34.869
I wonder if, I know you do in your work,
859
00:52:35.489 --> 00:52:41.610
have practices that you offer people to begin to move
860
00:52:41.630 --> 00:52:46.869
this body-mind continuum forward. in a positive direction, even the
861
00:52:46.929 --> 00:52:50.269
stimulation of the vagus nerve. I don't know whether you
862
00:52:50.289 --> 00:52:52.449
use breath work or different things like that, but I'm
863
00:52:52.469 --> 00:52:55.789
just wondering what kind of practices you offer, your kind
864
00:52:55.829 --> 00:53:00.110
of body-mind practices do you offer your patients and clients,
865
00:53:00.170 --> 00:53:02.289
and whether you might be willing to lead us in
866
00:53:02.329 --> 00:53:03.510
a brief session or something.
867
00:53:04.179 --> 00:53:07.260
Yeah, with pleasure, with pleasure. So at the retreats I
868
00:53:07.300 --> 00:53:10.139
do in Sardinia and Kenya, where we do safaris and
869
00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:13.199
beach time together, or wherever it is in the world,
870
00:53:14.329 --> 00:53:16.260
I'll do a lot of emotional healing exercises and we'll
871
00:53:16.300 --> 00:53:19.860
lead you through one of those. But alternate nostril breathing,
872
00:53:20.500 --> 00:53:24.039
alternate nostril breathing, analome-vilome, very important for resetting the nervous system.
873
00:53:25.159 --> 00:53:27.039
And we'll do that first, then I'll show you an
874
00:53:27.179 --> 00:53:31.349
emotional healing exercise because it's a very powerful healing exercise.
875
00:53:31.849 --> 00:53:35.530
Many people, most of us, we resist our emotions. We
876
00:53:35.550 --> 00:53:37.329
don't want to feel jealous. We don't want to feel fear.
877
00:53:37.389 --> 00:53:39.969
We don't want to feel disappointed or exhausted. And so
878
00:53:40.010 --> 00:53:43.050
our mind takes over. And this exercise is also on
879
00:53:43.090 --> 00:53:46.590
my website. It allows you to really make love and
880
00:53:46.630 --> 00:53:50.829
embrace these difficult emotions that you don't want to feel.
881
00:53:51.449 --> 00:53:53.389
And when you start feeling them in a safe way,
882
00:53:53.750 --> 00:53:55.809
your whole body relaxes. You're like, oh my God, they're
883
00:53:55.829 --> 00:53:59.030
not so bad. Actually, this is my truth. And when
884
00:53:59.050 --> 00:54:02.429
I'm in my truth, I heal faster as well. Yeah.
885
00:54:03.230 --> 00:54:07.980
So very briefly, analom bilom, alternate nostril breathing. I'll just
886
00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:10.079
demonstrate it and then I'll lead you through the emotional
887
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:14.059
healing exercise, which I think is more pertinent for this conversation. Yeah.
888
00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:18.409
So unalong the loam, basically you, it's called alternate nostril
889
00:54:18.429 --> 00:54:21.030
breathing because how you do it is you block one nostril,
890
00:54:21.449 --> 00:54:23.769
you place your fingers on your forehead, you close your
891
00:54:23.849 --> 00:54:26.010
eyes and you concentrate on your third eye here. Yeah.
892
00:54:26.670 --> 00:54:29.380
And then you basically take an inhale from your left
893
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:39.469
nostril and switch fingers, close the left, and exhale through
894
00:54:39.489 --> 00:54:47.329
the right. Then inhale through the right. What was the right?
895
00:54:50.750 --> 00:54:59.659
Exhale through the left. So inhale, switch nostrils, hold your
896
00:54:59.679 --> 00:55:06.900
breath a bit, and then exhale. Inhale again, switch nostrils,
897
00:55:10.389 --> 00:55:17.369
exhale again. So it's in, switch nostril, exhale. Inhale, switch nostril, exhale.
898
00:55:18.469 --> 00:55:20.880
And I usually recommend doing this for about two to
899
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:25.300
three minutes, three to five times a day. And you
900
00:55:25.340 --> 00:55:43.739
can feel it as you do it. Inhale, switch, exhale. Inhale, switch, Exhale. Beautiful.
901
00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:47.110
And what that's doing, it's calming your nervous system, resetting
902
00:55:47.130 --> 00:55:50.949
your vagus nerve that we talked about. And when you
903
00:55:50.989 --> 00:55:53.489
reset your vagus nerve, of course, your gut, your liver,
904
00:55:53.630 --> 00:55:59.570
everything comes more into balance. So alternate nostril breathing. Extremely
905
00:55:59.610 --> 00:56:02.159
important to really calm your nervous system down and take
906
00:56:02.179 --> 00:56:09.119
your physiology to a transformative state of healing. Why I
907
00:56:09.179 --> 00:56:13.219
say transformative is because it's Really, it's not forced healing.
908
00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:17.940
It's a transformation towards a positive cycle rather than remaining
909
00:56:17.980 --> 00:56:19.780
in a negative loop of sickness.
910
00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:23.610
Well, I can attest to the power of alternate nostril breathing.
911
00:56:23.630 --> 00:56:25.630
I've done it a lot in my life over many years.
912
00:56:25.690 --> 00:56:27.789
And even doing it just now, I felt my entire
913
00:56:27.849 --> 00:56:31.110
nervous system just completely calm down, just doing it even
914
00:56:31.210 --> 00:56:35.940
for 30 seconds or so. So very powerful breath regulation tool.
915
00:56:36.480 --> 00:56:41.139
Mm-hmm. Then the other exercise I'd love to introduce you
916
00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:45.219
to is permission to heal or permission to feel exercise.
917
00:56:45.260 --> 00:56:48.570
So like I said, we're resisting our feelings, yeah? And
918
00:56:48.619 --> 00:56:52.429
so this exercise basically says, I get you to say
919
00:56:52.469 --> 00:56:55.389
to yourself, it's safe for me to feel exhausted from
920
00:56:55.449 --> 00:56:57.110
time to time, or it's safe for me to feel
921
00:56:57.250 --> 00:57:01.030
anxious or good or pleasure from time to time. So
922
00:57:01.050 --> 00:57:02.849
the important words to use at the end of the sentence,
923
00:57:03.769 --> 00:57:05.940
and this exercise is on my website as well, is
924
00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:09.320
the words from time to time. Because if I say
925
00:57:09.420 --> 00:57:12.980
it's safe to feel happy, it's almost like a forced
926
00:57:13.099 --> 00:57:16.659
affirmation or safe to feel anxious. I'm kind of trying
927
00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:19.480
to convince myself, but I'm not convinced. But if I
928
00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:23.809
say from time to time, I'm allowing myself to experience
929
00:57:24.289 --> 00:57:26.090
and not experience at the same time. So I give
930
00:57:26.150 --> 00:57:30.550
my nervous system, my mindset, my perception choice. And whenever
931
00:57:30.590 --> 00:57:33.690
there's choice, the body takes over. And when the body
932
00:57:33.710 --> 00:57:38.690
takes over, it naturally goes into a healing state. So
933
00:57:38.730 --> 00:57:41.000
let's try that if you're open to it. So I
934
00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:44.639
invite you to put whatever phones, et cetera, on the
935
00:57:44.840 --> 00:57:48.320
couches or wherever. Make sure you're not driving or doing
936
00:57:48.360 --> 00:57:53.920
anything dangerous. Take a deep breath in and out. And
937
00:57:53.960 --> 00:57:55.519
you can put one hand on your belly and one
938
00:57:55.539 --> 00:57:57.780
hand on your heart or even one hand on your
939
00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:04.329
forehead if you want. I often say one hand on
940
00:58:04.349 --> 00:58:06.360
your forehead and one hand behind your head as well.
941
00:58:06.420 --> 00:58:09.119
That actually connects the brain hemispheres and makes this exercise
942
00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:14.480
more powerful. And then notice the feelings you're feeling. So
943
00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:17.989
I'm just gonna walk you through some sentences and you
944
00:58:18.010 --> 00:58:20.630
can replace the words I'm using with the own emotions
945
00:58:20.650 --> 00:58:25.510
you're feeling, okay? So let us begin. Deep breath in
946
00:58:27.610 --> 00:58:31.550
and relax and out. And then just connect to whatever
947
00:58:31.590 --> 00:58:33.909
you feel in your heart and you can begin. You
948
00:58:33.949 --> 00:58:37.789
can whisper it or say it out loud. It's safe
949
00:58:37.849 --> 00:58:47.489
for me to relax once in a while. And just
950
00:58:47.530 --> 00:58:49.570
feel how that feels to say once in a while.
951
00:58:51.230 --> 00:58:57.000
So you're not forcing relaxation. You're just exploring the possibility
952
00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:02.300
of it from time to time. So once in a while,
953
00:59:02.420 --> 00:59:07.010
from time to time, it's safe for me to let
954
00:59:07.030 --> 00:59:20.239
go of my thoughts, or my sensations once in a while. Beautiful.
955
00:59:20.639 --> 00:59:28.219
And notice how you feel. Good. It's safe for me
956
00:59:28.559 --> 00:59:35.659
to be ready from time to time. And just notice
957
00:59:35.699 --> 00:59:39.119
what that feels like. I'm not asking you to be ready.
958
00:59:39.139 --> 00:59:41.519
I'm not forcing you. It's just safe to be ready
959
00:59:41.639 --> 00:59:44.280
once in a while. You don't have to stay there
960
00:59:44.320 --> 00:59:49.889
all the time. Beautiful. Exactly. Notice what kind of permission
961
00:59:49.929 --> 00:59:53.389
your whole body, your physiology gets when you just allow
962
00:59:53.469 --> 00:59:57.829
it some permission. And then you can say, it's safe
963
00:59:57.869 --> 01:00:04.139
for me to collapse or be exhausted from time to
964
01:00:04.199 --> 01:00:11.780
time or once in a while. And notice what happens there.
965
01:00:13.610 --> 01:00:17.269
You don't have to force exhaustion. You don't have to
966
01:00:17.309 --> 01:00:25.849
force alertness. All is okay. It's safe for me to
967
01:00:25.929 --> 01:00:30.719
relax and maybe push people away or, I don't know,
968
01:00:30.739 --> 01:00:37.159
let go of stress or people's energy from time to time.
969
01:00:37.179 --> 01:00:44.539
And so put your own words there. So in my
970
01:00:44.579 --> 01:00:47.119
books and online course, I give more specific examples, but
971
01:00:47.179 --> 01:00:49.980
just feel what is true for you in this moment.
972
01:00:52.929 --> 01:00:55.920
And I'll just give you a couple of minutes in
973
01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:58.500
silence for you to continue the sentences in your own
974
01:00:58.579 --> 01:01:03.340
pace and just notice how it feels. You can think them,
975
01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:19.190
explore whispering or saying it aloud. Loudly, just feel the permission.
976
01:01:21.949 --> 01:01:28.170
No shoulds, no judgment about your emotions, your beliefs. You
977
01:01:28.210 --> 01:01:30.650
can even say it's safe to feel angry from time
978
01:01:30.710 --> 01:01:35.070
to time or jealous of my cousin or my friend
979
01:01:35.090 --> 01:01:39.289
or whatever once in a while. Give yourself permission to
980
01:01:39.349 --> 01:01:45.409
explore the entire spectrum of human experience. You are allowed
981
01:01:45.630 --> 01:01:54.940
today and forever. Excellent. Take a deep breath in and out.
982
01:01:55.460 --> 01:01:59.639
Let it go at the exploration and the experiment. Just
983
01:01:59.659 --> 01:02:02.300
let it go. And I invite you to just come
984
01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:06.280
back to the screen to fleet in me and just
985
01:02:06.340 --> 01:02:09.760
enjoy the rest of this interview. Thank you.
986
01:02:12.739 --> 01:02:17.269
Beautiful. Wow. It was really amazing how just that expression
987
01:02:17.309 --> 01:02:19.309
of from time to time or once in a while.
988
01:02:21.409 --> 01:02:26.030
I just felt myself immediately relaxing into a very receptive
989
01:02:26.889 --> 01:02:30.769
state and just that sense of allowing, of giving permission,
990
01:02:30.949 --> 01:02:31.860
really powerful.
991
01:02:33.090 --> 01:02:35.960
I feel your heart right now. Your voice has changed.
992
01:02:36.139 --> 01:02:39.360
The whole vibration has shifted in the entire room. That's beautiful.
993
01:02:39.679 --> 01:02:40.239
Thank you, Fleet.
994
01:02:40.880 --> 01:02:44.000
Wonderful. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
995
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:46.460
So I know you.
996
01:02:48.610 --> 01:02:51.030
You have retreats that you offer in Africa. You have
997
01:02:51.070 --> 01:02:54.010
retreats you do in Europe. You have courses online on
998
01:02:54.050 --> 01:02:56.510
your website. How can people find out more about your
999
01:02:56.550 --> 01:02:58.789
work if they would like to explore it further with you?
1000
01:02:58.809 --> 01:03:02.690
So there's free videos on gut healing, liver detox, and
1001
01:03:02.730 --> 01:03:06.750
a lot of masterclasses on combining homeopathy, constellation work, trauma healing,
1002
01:03:07.469 --> 01:03:13.820
gut healing, all these things on my website, DrRameet.com. That's D-R-A-M-E-E-T.com.
1003
01:03:14.980 --> 01:03:19.610
And the retreats are there. If there's enough people inviting
1004
01:03:19.630 --> 01:03:22.650
me to Costa Rica or the US or wherever, I'm open. Yeah.
1005
01:03:23.269 --> 01:03:25.530
I love bringing this work to different parts of the world.
1006
01:03:26.130 --> 01:03:28.739
I live in Kenya. So if you're interested in Kenya...
1007
01:03:29.210 --> 01:03:31.849
Of course, you can combine safari and beach time and
1008
01:03:31.909 --> 01:03:37.530
experience deep inner transformation in really Africa. And Africa, if
1009
01:03:37.710 --> 01:03:40.750
you believe the theory, you know, mankind started here and
1010
01:03:40.789 --> 01:03:43.230
you can feel the energy, right? You feel the energy.
1011
01:03:43.250 --> 01:03:46.730
When you heal in nature in Africa, something else transforms
1012
01:03:46.869 --> 01:03:49.469
deep in your nervous system. And then often I do
1013
01:03:49.510 --> 01:03:53.760
it in Europe, usually the Mediterranean islands like Sardinia and Greece,
1014
01:03:54.099 --> 01:03:57.960
because it's halfway for anyone in America to come over
1015
01:03:58.380 --> 01:04:00.340
and me from Kenya to come over. So it's a
1016
01:04:00.380 --> 01:04:02.980
nice meeting point. And there's beautiful beaches there as well.
1017
01:04:03.900 --> 01:04:06.920
Healthy food. And Sardinia is one of the blue zones
1018
01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:09.800
of the world, right? And so the energy there is
1019
01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:16.269
also super powerful. So it's drameet.com, D-R-A-M-E-E-T.com. I really invite
1020
01:04:16.289 --> 01:04:18.610
you to Kenya. It'll be a pleasure to have you here.
1021
01:04:18.820 --> 01:04:23.179
Of course, a dream. And of course, Europe is also fantastic.
1022
01:04:23.829 --> 01:04:27.070
And then watch the free videos on my website. And
1023
01:04:27.090 --> 01:04:31.070
there's also full courses in holistic medicine available, homeopathy, family
1024
01:04:31.110 --> 01:04:34.670
constellations therapy. They're all out there. Yeah. And if you
1025
01:04:34.690 --> 01:04:39.590
need continuing education credits, we're working on that. Just go
1026
01:04:39.630 --> 01:04:42.210
through the courses and I'll take you to another level
1027
01:04:42.250 --> 01:04:45.889
of healing. So really enjoy that experience as well.
1028
01:04:47.489 --> 01:04:51.210
Wonderful. I would love to visit Kenya someday. I have
1029
01:04:51.530 --> 01:04:54.570
been to Africa twice, to Rwanda both times. And I
1030
01:04:54.590 --> 01:04:59.190
was there doing genocide prevention work, peace work. But I
1031
01:04:59.230 --> 01:05:01.570
did on one of the trips, I didn't get up
1032
01:05:01.650 --> 01:05:03.690
and to see the gorillas. I really wanted to do that,
1033
01:05:03.730 --> 01:05:05.429
never managed to do it. But I did get out
1034
01:05:05.469 --> 01:05:08.550
to a national park on the border with Tanzania, which is,
1035
01:05:08.670 --> 01:05:11.730
I don't think, far from Kenya and in that area.
1036
01:05:11.889 --> 01:05:15.289
And we we spent. uh, 12 hours in a Land
1037
01:05:15.329 --> 01:05:18.869
Rover out in this park and saw just, it was amazing. Uh,
1038
01:05:18.909 --> 01:05:22.699
what we saw with the Cape Buffalo and the giraffes and, and, uh,
1039
01:05:22.780 --> 01:05:25.599
it was just amazing, an amazing experience. So I would
1040
01:05:25.619 --> 01:05:28.239
love to get to Kenya someday. Thank you so much
1041
01:05:28.380 --> 01:05:32.579
for your work, Amit, and, uh, for this, uh, incredible conversation.
1042
01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:34.840
There's so much there. I really encourage people to check
1043
01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:39.420
out your work online, um, because, uh, you know, we're all, um,
1044
01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:44.809
We're all exposed to so much. We all have whatever
1045
01:05:44.869 --> 01:05:47.150
trauma we have in our backgrounds, but we're exposed to
1046
01:05:47.230 --> 01:05:51.900
so much trauma and so much disconcerting information. And there's
1047
01:05:51.940 --> 01:05:54.579
just so much uncertainty in the pace of change is
1048
01:05:54.599 --> 01:05:56.989
so much. We really have to take care of ourselves.
1049
01:05:57.050 --> 01:06:00.880
I mean, good self-care is not a luxury or an
1050
01:06:01.010 --> 01:06:03.840
option anymore. It's really something that we really need to
1051
01:06:03.860 --> 01:06:07.400
focus on. And you offer so many modalities to begin
1052
01:06:07.440 --> 01:06:10.059
to understand our own bodies and minds at a deeper
1053
01:06:10.099 --> 01:06:13.739
level and really with more precision, do the things and
1054
01:06:13.780 --> 01:06:16.599
get the support that will get us into that virtuous cycle.
1055
01:06:16.980 --> 01:06:20.179
where the natural beauty of our mind and body can
1056
01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:23.340
take over and get us in a kind of positive
1057
01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:26.070
momentum with our health and well-being. So thank you so
1058
01:06:26.110 --> 01:06:28.530
much for the work you do. And again, really encourage
1059
01:06:28.550 --> 01:06:32.909
people to check out your website at DrAmit.com. Thank you.

in sardinia greece or on safari.
1066
01:06:55.059 --> 01:07:00.360
Beautiful thank you so much amin thank you thank you
1067
01:07:00.380 --> 01:07:03.889
for joining me on the radical responsibility podcast remember real
1068
01:07:03.969 --> 01:07:06.989
change happens when we commit to our growth face our
1069
01:07:07.070 --> 01:07:10.869
challenges with compassion and stay open to transformation If you
1070
01:07:10.909 --> 01:07:13.530
found this episode helpful, I encourage you to subscribe and
1071
01:07:13.570 --> 01:07:16.420
help us spread the message of healing and personal empowerment.
1072
01:07:16.719 --> 01:07:20.119
Until next time, stay grounded, stay present, and stay true
1073
01:07:20.139 --> 01:07:21.190
to yourself. Take care.
1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:02.859
The good bacteria get killed off, the lining gets damaged.
2
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:03.540
Yeah?
3
00:00:04.059 --> 00:00:08.429
Now, the good bacteria are making most of your neurotransmitters. Serotonin, dopamine, GABA, etc.
4
00:00:09.109 --> 00:00:11.130
are mostly produced in your gut, not in your brain.
5
00:00:11.890 --> 00:00:15.369
So when you're destroying the good bacteria, you destroy your neurotransmitters,
6
00:00:15.730 --> 00:00:19.370
which leads to mood issues, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, etc.
7
00:00:19.809 --> 00:00:21.550
What if your body has been trying to tell you
8
00:00:21.609 --> 00:00:24.949
a story your mind hasn't learned out of here? Today,
9
00:00:24.969 --> 00:00:29.140
I sit down with naturopathic doctor and psychotherapist, Dr. Amit Agarwal.
10
00:00:29.629 --> 00:00:33.310
to explain why lasting healing may require looking far beyond
11
00:00:33.369 --> 00:00:37.369
the symptom itself. Drawing from his own experience of childhood
12
00:00:37.390 --> 00:00:41.380
bullying and a chronically activated nervous system, Amit explains how
13
00:00:41.409 --> 00:00:44.939
he came to see our physical health, emotional wounds, and
14
00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:49.899
family histories as deeply interconnected. We explore his five pillars
15
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.859
of healing, from the gut, liver, and adrenal system, to
16
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.920
childhood and ancestral trauma. Why he believes unresolved family dynamics
17
00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:02.799
can keep us trapped in patterns we don't understand and
18
00:01:02.859 --> 00:01:08.560
how he combines psychotherapy, including family consolation therapy, homeopathy, and
19
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.469
functional wellness in his work. Amit also guides us through
20
00:01:12.769 --> 00:01:16.590
practical tools for calming the nervous system and meeting difficult
21
00:01:16.650 --> 00:01:20.670
emotions without resistance, inviting us to consider that healing may
22
00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:24.019
begin not by fighting what we feel, but by finally
23
00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:27.180
giving ourselves permission to feel it. Really thrilled to be
24
00:01:27.219 --> 00:01:30.689
here today with Amit Agarwal. Welcome, Dr. Agarwal.
25
00:01:30.709 --> 00:01:36.060
Thank you, Fleet. Super excited to talk about homeopathy, releasing trauma,
26
00:01:36.390 --> 00:01:39.659
family constellations to release ancestral trauma as well, and the
27
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.700
whole gut, liver, adrenal approach to mental health as well.
28
00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:46.159
Absolutely. That's going to be perfect for this day. Our
29
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.219
focus is on the mind-body connection and functional medicine and
30
00:01:49.260 --> 00:01:52.579
so forth. So this is perfect for your work. So
31
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.200
I'm going to share your bio and then we'll jump
32
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:59.939
right into the conversation. Amit Agarwal, MD, is a naturopathic
33
00:01:59.959 --> 00:02:04.620
doctor and psychotherapist who works with Gestalt, EMDR, and family
34
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.240
constellation therapies. He was voted one of the top 43
35
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.099
naturopathic doctors worldwide and has empowered thousands of people around
36
00:02:12.139 --> 00:02:15.580
the world to improve gut health, detox their livers, and
37
00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:20.259
cure adrenal fatigue by combining holistic medicine, psychotherapy, homeopathy, and
38
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.729
emotional healing. Dr. Agarwal is the author of several books,
39
00:02:23.789 --> 00:02:26.599
including Heal Your Body, Cure Your Mind, and the Through
40
00:02:26.650 --> 00:02:29.509
his books and online courses and holistic approach, he offers
41
00:02:29.590 --> 00:02:34.490
relief from burnout, anxiety, depression, chronic disease, and trauma. And
42
00:02:34.509 --> 00:02:37.689
of course, all those things are relatively endemic in our
43
00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:42.110
fast-paced world today. So such important work. So I'm always
44
00:02:42.129 --> 00:02:45.490
a little reluctant to ask you to sort of encapsulate
45
00:02:45.629 --> 00:02:48.330
your history, your origin in just a minute or two,
46
00:02:48.370 --> 00:02:49.969
but we have a lot to cover today. So I
47
00:02:49.990 --> 00:02:51.930
will ask you to do that. But I would like
48
00:02:51.969 --> 00:02:54.830
to start with how your journey began. What led you
49
00:02:54.909 --> 00:02:59.129
to becoming a a physician, a healer, and the overall
50
00:02:59.169 --> 00:03:00.129
direction of your work?
51
00:03:01.750 --> 00:03:04.460
Gosh, that's a big question. So I'm born in Kenya
52
00:03:04.819 --> 00:03:07.360
and I went to boarding school where I was bullied
53
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.800
and just felt threatened by teachers who were unkind. So
54
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.719
my nervous system was on edge all the time. And
55
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.580
I thought that was a weakness. But by being on edge,
56
00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:24.909
I developed this hypersensitivity to people's emotions and people's intentions
57
00:03:25.060 --> 00:03:28.590
and even the threat. It's almost like our nervous system
58
00:03:28.650 --> 00:03:32.750
adapts to the environment. And suddenly I could pick up
59
00:03:32.909 --> 00:03:37.180
feelings in people without knowing it. So I became an
60
00:03:37.259 --> 00:03:42.240
empath very quickly. And then I went to naturopathic college
61
00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:47.319
in Toronto, as well as Gestalt psychotherapy. And that's where
62
00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:50.300
I learned the power of eating healthy, healing our gut,
63
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.050
which we're going to talk about, detoxifying the liver, the
64
00:03:53.090 --> 00:03:55.689
importance of adrenal herbs as well to calm down anxiety.
65
00:03:56.979 --> 00:04:01.599
And most importantly, the importance of healing trauma. Our mindset,
66
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.280
our beliefs that program us, that run our nervous system,
67
00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:08.000
our subconscious, and keep us in fear, anxiety, depression, you
68
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.960
name it. Trauma is often the root cause of most
69
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.500
people's problems. And I've even had people with cancer resolve
70
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.439
the cancer just by healing trauma. And we'll talk about
71
00:04:17.490 --> 00:04:21.290
that when we talk about family constellations therapy. And then
72
00:04:21.329 --> 00:04:24.410
I learned family constellations therapy, which is one of the
73
00:04:24.449 --> 00:04:28.209
most powerful therapies in the world. to heal ancestral trauma.
74
00:04:29.029 --> 00:04:31.850
So this is, we inherit trauma from our mom, from
75
00:04:31.910 --> 00:04:36.569
our dad. If there's an affair, an abortion, miscarriage, victims
76
00:04:36.629 --> 00:04:41.360
of war, murders, alcoholism, suicides in the family, unknowingly, we
77
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.519
absorb these traumas. And these are often the root cause
78
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:51.480
of our problems, whether it's anxiety, sabotage with money, relationship issues,
79
00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:55.769
chronic diseases. I've seen chronic pain disappear in one session.
80
00:04:56.459 --> 00:05:00.730
just by releasing an entanglement with mom, yeah? So that's
81
00:05:00.769 --> 00:05:03.930
been my journey, really, learning how to heal the gut,
82
00:05:04.069 --> 00:05:07.290
the liver, the adrenal system, yeah, the body, as well
83
00:05:07.329 --> 00:05:12.120
as releasing personal trauma, childhood trauma, adult trauma, and most importantly,
84
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:17.639
ancestral trauma. And I combine this work in online courses,
85
00:05:17.699 --> 00:05:22.300
retreats around the world. They're super fun to do, yeah?
86
00:05:24.209 --> 00:05:26.660
So I'm super excited to teach about all this today.
87
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.399
So to help all of you listening, how to get
88
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.939
to the root cause of what your problem is. Rather
89
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.449
than dabbling in pills to suppress the anxiety, let's get
90
00:05:35.470 --> 00:05:38.670
to the root cause. Let's either heal the gut, take
91
00:05:38.689 --> 00:05:42.250
the right herbs, right homeopathic remedies, or release that trauma
92
00:05:42.290 --> 00:05:43.939
that no one talks about or no one looks at.
93
00:05:47.189 --> 00:05:49.529
And this really evolved out of your own experience, your
94
00:05:49.550 --> 00:05:52.490
own childhood experiences of being bullied, experienced a lot of
95
00:05:52.509 --> 00:05:55.470
stress and anxiety, so much so that your nervous system
96
00:05:55.509 --> 00:06:00.709
became hypersensitive. And growing up in Africa, and Africa having
97
00:06:00.750 --> 00:06:04.160
gone through colonialism and all the impact of that, there's
98
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.620
got to be a lot of ancestral trauma that you
99
00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:07.819
were working through as well.
100
00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:11.519
Absolutely. Colonialism was a big one. I went to British
101
00:06:11.579 --> 00:06:13.459
boarding school, so of course there was a bit of
102
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:19.009
bias at that time, some intimidation. And this unconscious respect
103
00:06:19.069 --> 00:06:22.980
for the oppressor, whether it's fear or respect, we don't know.
104
00:06:24.069 --> 00:06:27.899
And so my life was pretty, I grew up very timid.
105
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.300
And then, of course, when I went to study in Canada,
106
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.300
then I got introduced to drugs. There was a lot
107
00:06:33.339 --> 00:06:38.639
of drugs involved. So I destroyed my nervous system as
108
00:06:38.660 --> 00:06:41.860
well as my liver with alcohol, LSD, you name it.
109
00:06:42.829 --> 00:06:46.089
And my first homeopathic remedy was actually homeopathic LSD, which
110
00:06:46.149 --> 00:06:47.939
detoxed all the LSD from my system.
111
00:06:48.149 --> 00:06:48.750
Amazing.
112
00:06:49.810 --> 00:06:52.939
And so I learned how to combine the homeopathic remedies
113
00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:56.680
to detoxify the body, learned how to eat healthy. And
114
00:06:56.699 --> 00:06:58.680
we'll talk about how gut health and liver health and
115
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.300
the adrenal health affects mental health, of course, and chronic disease.
116
00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:08.220
And that just touched the surface. And it's only when
117
00:07:08.259 --> 00:07:10.759
I went through psychotherapy school, which just blew my mind,
118
00:07:10.779 --> 00:07:14.000
did I realize, oh, my God, my experiences as a
119
00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:17.339
child were affecting the way I was thinking, my beliefs,
120
00:07:17.420 --> 00:07:21.060
the way I interact with people and how intimidated or
121
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.209
fearful I felt with adults or with authority or in
122
00:07:25.250 --> 00:07:26.089
certain environments.
123
00:07:27.430 --> 00:07:27.670
Yeah.
124
00:07:28.110 --> 00:07:32.269
So our childhood experiences are literally programming our entire perception
125
00:07:32.290 --> 00:07:36.120
of reality. And the beauty of all this fleet is
126
00:07:36.189 --> 00:07:40.459
that this perception can be shifted in a beautiful organic way.
127
00:07:40.540 --> 00:07:44.160
If done correctly, with the right therapy. You know, there's
128
00:07:44.180 --> 00:07:47.000
therapies that force you to think positively or control your feelings.
129
00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:51.379
I don't do those. I prefer Gestalt therapy, EMDR, somatic experiencing,
130
00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:56.769
family constellations therapy, because they transform the nervous system and
131
00:07:56.790 --> 00:08:00.149
the trauma more organically. So you naturally shift into a
132
00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:05.589
more empowered, healthy perspective of yourself and of your surroundings,
133
00:08:05.790 --> 00:08:09.170
which is very important for your organism. Very important.
134
00:08:10.350 --> 00:08:14.769
So many people today find themselves feeling a lot of anxiety,
135
00:08:14.829 --> 00:08:18.660
whether it's whether experiencing a primarily mental or emotional or
136
00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:23.839
or physical anxiety or even kind of existential anxiety. There's
137
00:08:23.860 --> 00:08:26.199
just a lot of uncertainty and fear in the world
138
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.439
today for just all the instability and the pace of
139
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:34.379
change and everything. And people often, I think. assume that
140
00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:38.539
it's situational and not that there aren't circumstances that would
141
00:08:38.590 --> 00:08:41.169
be reason to feel some anxiety, certainly on fear, but
142
00:08:41.610 --> 00:08:43.929
it's really deeper than that, much deeper than that, as
143
00:08:43.950 --> 00:08:47.710
you're pointing to, that it can really be, you know,
144
00:08:47.730 --> 00:08:50.230
and then all the chronic diseases that result from living
145
00:08:50.250 --> 00:08:53.889
in a state of anxiety and the systemic inflammation and
146
00:08:53.929 --> 00:08:56.990
so forth. So it's all the physical illnesses we're dealing
147
00:08:57.049 --> 00:09:00.389
with and things like chronic fatigue and and things that
148
00:09:00.409 --> 00:09:04.860
have been considered somewhat physical, somewhat psychosomatic, kind of IBS,
149
00:09:04.899 --> 00:09:06.639
all these kind of things. It's all the ways in
150
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.740
which our systems are so much in breakdown, and there's
151
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.200
so much disconnection in our society altogether. And as you
152
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:19.250
point out, really all this has roots in trauma and
153
00:09:19.409 --> 00:09:24.210
unresolved issues there, and then how that creates dysregulation in
154
00:09:24.230 --> 00:09:26.929
the body and systemic inflammation, and it leads to a
155
00:09:26.990 --> 00:09:33.820
host of both physical, mental, and emotional illnesses and challenges, right?
156
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.519
And so I wonder if you could break down kind
157
00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:40.279
of how all this really impacts our mental health, and
158
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.759
then how, you know, when people come to you and
159
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.210
they're suffering, right, they're suffering mentally, emotionally, and maybe that's
160
00:09:47.250 --> 00:09:50.559
also showing up in their lives as physical issues, How
161
00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:53.039
do you begin helping them unravel that and work back
162
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:54.460
to find the root causes?
163
00:09:56.289 --> 00:09:58.090
Okay, so I'm going to walk you through your biology
164
00:09:58.470 --> 00:10:00.340
and your mind in a very simple way. If it
165
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:04.220
gets complicated, there's free videos on my website, yeah? Let's
166
00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:07.159
start with the gut. We have a stomach, we have intestines.
167
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.679
Your intestines are like a nice tube, a nice lining,
168
00:10:09.700 --> 00:10:12.639
kept healthy by good bacteria and good food. Over time,
169
00:10:12.659 --> 00:10:18.009
with antibiotic use, a poor diet, birth control pill, inflammatory
170
00:10:18.029 --> 00:10:21.750
foods like gluten, dairy, etc., The good bacteria get killed off,
171
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:25.309
the lining gets damaged. Now the good bacteria are making
172
00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:29.350
most of your neurotransmitters, serotonin, dopamine, GABA, et cetera, are
173
00:10:29.509 --> 00:10:32.049
mostly produced in your gut, not in your brain. So
174
00:10:32.070 --> 00:10:35.409
when you're destroying the good bacteria, you destroy your neurotransmitters,
175
00:10:35.769 --> 00:10:39.440
which leads to mood issues, anxiety, depression, psilocybin, et cetera.
176
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.220
Also remember now when your gut lining gets damaged, we
177
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.259
get holes in there, it's known as leaky gut syndrome.
178
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.480
With leaky gut syndrome, toxins leak into the bloodstream and
179
00:10:48.500 --> 00:10:51.320
cause inflammation everywhere in the body. And that's the leading
180
00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:54.500
cause for asthma, eczema, arthritis, a lot of chronic conditions.
181
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.330
All this inflammation then goes to the liver and everywhere
182
00:10:58.379 --> 00:11:01.649
else in your body, right? Including your brain, causing brain
183
00:11:01.730 --> 00:11:06.730
fog and negative thinking, negative thoughts, change in perception. We're
184
00:11:06.750 --> 00:11:09.049
going to get to how trauma and ancestral trauma also
185
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.720
affect perception, but let's stick with the biology first. All
186
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:17.179
this inflammation also disrupts your neurotransmitters, serotonin, dopamine, GABA, et cetera.
187
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.360
GABA is your anti-anxiety neurotransmitter. So when it goes low,
188
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:26.250
we get more anxiety and insomnia. When inflammation hits your liver,
189
00:11:26.909 --> 00:11:30.350
your liver becomes stagnant. And your liver is also dealing
190
00:11:30.389 --> 00:11:34.490
with toxins every day, drugs, alcohol, pesticides, chemicals in the
191
00:11:34.529 --> 00:11:38.750
drinking water. So our livers get slammed by inflammation and
192
00:11:38.789 --> 00:11:43.460
chronic toxicity, right? And now our livers are our master organ,
193
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.899
the seed of the soul in many cultures, right? In
194
00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:48.500
Chinese medicine, it really is the master organ. And why?
195
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:55.190
Because it controls digestion, detoxification, hormone balance, right? Vitamin storage,
196
00:11:55.210 --> 00:11:59.309
immune cell activation, everything. So when the liver is stagnant,
197
00:11:59.409 --> 00:12:02.230
it produces less bile. When you produce less bile, you
198
00:12:02.250 --> 00:12:06.259
get more gas, bloating, constipation, digestion. And bile is very
199
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:09.259
important for your good bacteria in your gut to flourish, right?
200
00:12:10.100 --> 00:12:12.289
So when you don't have enough bile, the good bacteria
201
00:12:12.309 --> 00:12:15.370
don't flourish. You get more of leaky gut and what
202
00:12:15.389 --> 00:12:20.039
we call dysbiosis, so unhealthy bacteria. So worsening of gut health,
203
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:26.710
leaky gut, chronic inflammation, and neurotransmitters dropping. That's number one. Also,
204
00:12:27.230 --> 00:12:30.070
and many people with constipation, it's very important to realize,
205
00:12:30.409 --> 00:12:33.220
many people with constipation and heartburn, it's not a laxative
206
00:12:33.250 --> 00:12:37.039
deficiency for you. It's a liver issue because bile is
207
00:12:37.059 --> 00:12:40.399
the lubricant for stool. And if your bile is not flowing,
208
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.059
if you don't have a healthy liver, then most likely
209
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.860
you're going to have some sort of gas floating in constipation.
210
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.600
So to resolve that, rather than laxatives, I always detoxify
211
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.720
the liver. And I cover those remedies in the course,
212
00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:56.490
but I'll show you some today. Also, The liver being
213
00:12:56.509 --> 00:12:59.490
the master organ for hormones, when the liver is stagnant,
214
00:12:59.549 --> 00:13:03.850
we go into hormonal imbalance. For women, it's usually progesterone deficiency,
215
00:13:03.950 --> 00:13:09.950
estrogen excess. And that causes symptoms of PMS, so breast tenderness, cramping, clotting,
216
00:13:10.029 --> 00:13:16.039
mood swings, right? And when progesterone is low, GABA, the
217
00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:19.759
anti-anxiety neurotransmitter, doesn't work so well in the brain. Yeah,
218
00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:24.240
so women with PMS symptoms might experience more sadness, anxiety, insomnia, etc.,
219
00:13:25.460 --> 00:13:30.610
And that's why with PMS, you have mood swings, you
220
00:13:30.629 --> 00:13:33.110
have the hormonal symptoms like the breast tenderness, cramp and clotting,
221
00:13:33.330 --> 00:13:36.669
and you have digestive issues, right? Because most of it
222
00:13:36.710 --> 00:13:39.370
is coming from the liver. So you can see how
223
00:13:39.409 --> 00:13:43.970
the liver affects mental health as well, yeah? Now with
224
00:13:44.070 --> 00:13:48.620
all this chronic inflammation, what happens is chronic inflammation, the
225
00:13:48.659 --> 00:13:53.230
body needs to produce cortisol to reduce chronic inflammation. Who
226
00:13:53.269 --> 00:13:56.460
produces cortisol? Your adrenal glands and other cells in your body,
227
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.340
of course. Now, our adrenal glands are made for fight, flight,
228
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:06.639
or freeze. They are our protective mechanism. So every day,
229
00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:11.360
your adrenal glands are overworking from financial stress, from breakups,
230
00:14:11.539 --> 00:14:17.080
from marriage problems, from working every day, etc., And also
231
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.279
our adrenal glands are stressed because we have trauma stored
232
00:14:20.299 --> 00:14:22.480
in our body from childhood. And we'll talk about trauma
233
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.720
and how that's affecting the adrenal glands. But your adrenal
234
00:14:25.740 --> 00:14:29.039
glands are naturally on overdrive every day. And then the
235
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:32.480
chronic inflammation from leaky gut, as well as the toxicity
236
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:38.809
from liver toxicity, creates this demand for more cortisol. So
237
00:14:38.830 --> 00:14:41.250
your adrenal glands have to work extra hard now, first
238
00:14:41.289 --> 00:14:45.090
dealing with stress, then dealing with unhealed trauma, and then
239
00:14:45.110 --> 00:14:49.009
dealing with chronic inflammation. So most people then get wiped out,
240
00:14:49.049 --> 00:14:52.179
and they go into what we call adrenal fatigue. With
241
00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:56.000
adrenal fatigue, then you get a cortisol imbalance. And when
242
00:14:56.019 --> 00:14:59.120
you have a cortisol imbalance, all your neurotransmitters start dropping,
243
00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:03.850
and your thyroid levels start dropping as well. So serotonin, dopamine, GABA,
244
00:15:04.230 --> 00:15:08.970
melatonin as well, the sleep hormone, that all goes plummeting down.
245
00:15:08.990 --> 00:15:14.710
And also... The conversion of T4 to T3, so the
246
00:15:14.950 --> 00:15:18.330
inactive thyroid to the active thyroid, that suffers as well.
247
00:15:18.889 --> 00:15:22.450
So suddenly we have people with subclinical hypothyroidism as well
248
00:15:22.549 --> 00:15:28.340
from burnout. The combination of this leads to mental health symptoms,
249
00:15:28.379 --> 00:15:32.600
whether it's anxiety, depression, insomnia, OCD, suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem,
250
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:36.309
you name it. It leads to chronic diseases, hormonal issues,
251
00:15:36.590 --> 00:15:42.320
susceptibility to cancer, and the toxicity obviously shows up as psoriasis, eczema, etc.
252
00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:47.759
Chronic inflammation as heart disease, arthritis, asthma. You can see
253
00:15:47.820 --> 00:15:51.250
how everything stems from the gut, the liver, the adrenal system,
254
00:15:51.809 --> 00:15:56.309
and stress, as well as unhealed trauma. So in my
255
00:15:56.389 --> 00:15:59.049
online course, I cover how to heal the gut, the liver,
256
00:15:59.370 --> 00:16:03.169
emotional healing exercises for trauma, Then, of course, family constellations
257
00:16:03.230 --> 00:16:06.250
therapy to release ancestral trauma, which we'll go into, and
258
00:16:06.370 --> 00:16:09.269
homeopathic remedies, which we're going to talk about today, why
259
00:16:09.350 --> 00:16:13.490
they're very important also, yeah, for mental health and to
260
00:16:13.529 --> 00:16:14.909
release trauma.
261
00:16:16.029 --> 00:16:21.679
So another endemic physical malady, especially in my own country
262
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.000
and U.S. and probably in North America in general, is
263
00:16:25.139 --> 00:16:28.440
weight issues and obesity. And that's certainly related to everything
264
00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:29.860
you're talking about as well, right?
265
00:16:30.889 --> 00:16:36.350
Absolutely. So the biggest success I've seen with weight issues
266
00:16:36.389 --> 00:16:38.620
is a combination of, first of all, removing toxicity, getting
267
00:16:38.659 --> 00:16:41.519
that liver moving. When the toxins are out, your metabolism
268
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:43.960
picks up and you can burn that fat much easier.
269
00:16:44.820 --> 00:16:46.860
A lot of weight gain is due to water retention.
270
00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:50.019
So when you detoxify, you're holding on to less water
271
00:16:50.059 --> 00:16:52.399
as well. Naturally, you let go of all the water
272
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.470
that's building up. Then you need to stabilize your cortisol levels.
273
00:16:57.210 --> 00:17:00.769
because of unhealed stress. When you're stressed, most people will
274
00:17:00.809 --> 00:17:05.000
binge eat. So that hunger pang is emotional eating. And
275
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:06.940
why do we emotionally eat? Because there's an emotion that's
276
00:17:06.980 --> 00:17:09.900
not healed. And so when you heal the trauma, so
277
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:11.579
at the retreats I do, I do a lot of
278
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:17.039
family consolation therapy and trauma healing. When you feel resolved inside,
279
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.799
you don't have that craving anymore to fill that void
280
00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:25.609
with food. And then, of course, when you are burnt out,
281
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.319
When your adrenal glands are exhausted, your metabolism is not
282
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.980
working so well. So you cannot burn fat very quickly.
283
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:37.089
And you're binging on carbs and salts, of course, to
284
00:17:37.130 --> 00:17:41.809
keep going. So a combination of toxicity, of burnout, of
285
00:17:41.890 --> 00:17:45.549
binge eating and unhealed trauma leads people to keep the
286
00:17:45.589 --> 00:17:48.150
weight on and makes it difficult for people to lose
287
00:17:48.190 --> 00:17:50.380
the weight. And then they starve themselves, they go on
288
00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:52.259
strange diets, but they don't feel good inside. And then
289
00:17:52.299 --> 00:17:55.160
they put the weight back on again quickly. So my
290
00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:58.710
program really guides you to healing the pillars of health.
291
00:17:58.869 --> 00:18:01.390
Five pillars of health, very important for any disease and
292
00:18:01.430 --> 00:18:06.509
weight loss. Gut health, liver health, adrenal health, emotional, the
293
00:18:06.549 --> 00:18:10.460
childhood traumas, et cetera, and systemic health, healing the ancestral traumas,
294
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.279
the anger we pick up from mom against dad, or
295
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.099
the suffering of our grandparents during the war that led
296
00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:20.900
to our phobia of, you know, closed chambers or of,
297
00:18:20.900 --> 00:18:25.289
I don't know, fear of authority or different cultures. We
298
00:18:25.329 --> 00:18:29.490
absorb these traumas and we're living them unconsciously. So with
299
00:18:29.509 --> 00:18:33.109
family constellations therapy, we do healing sentences and people can
300
00:18:33.170 --> 00:18:35.029
walk out of these inherited traumas as well.
301
00:18:36.339 --> 00:18:40.039
And as you described the interconnectedness of all these systems
302
00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:42.619
and how that works with our gut health and our
303
00:18:42.660 --> 00:18:48.019
digestive processes and especially the liver's primary role in all this,
304
00:18:49.579 --> 00:18:52.140
when things start getting out of balance for all these
305
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.359
reasons with the roots in trauma or roots in exposure
306
00:18:56.380 --> 00:19:00.319
to toxins in our environment, food today, or whether it's
307
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.240
overwork and stress, whatever it is that's going on or
308
00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:07.200
a combination thereof, we get in kind of a non-virtuous cycle, right?
309
00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:10.220
And then there's a cascading effect, right? There's all these
310
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.839
downstream cascading ill effects and ultimately leading to systemic inflammation,
311
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.940
which is really then the basis of all the chronic illnesses, right?
312
00:19:19.460 --> 00:19:23.940
So somehow we have to begin to stop the momentum
313
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:28.400
or interrupt the momentum of that non-virtuous cycle and begin
314
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:30.990
getting it moved the other way. And I assume... That
315
00:19:31.029 --> 00:19:32.769
if we can get it moving the other way, the
316
00:19:32.990 --> 00:19:37.119
body has a miraculous quality for self-healing and the design
317
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.519
of our body is just amazing to begin with. So
318
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:43.279
it is designed to work, right? If we can get
319
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.650
it moving in the right direction, can we create a
320
00:19:45.730 --> 00:19:50.700
positive momentum that will then support us in living our lives? optimally?
321
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:53.890
So I wonder if you could talk about how that works.
322
00:19:54.670 --> 00:19:56.890
Absolutely. I love that question for you, because most people
323
00:19:56.930 --> 00:19:59.670
make the mistake of suppressing symptoms, either with medications or
324
00:19:59.710 --> 00:20:02.490
even with natural products, by taking the chamomile tea for
325
00:20:02.529 --> 00:20:06.029
sleep or the coffee for more energy. And that perpetuates
326
00:20:06.049 --> 00:20:09.059
this negative cycle. But when you heal the pillars, right,
327
00:20:09.099 --> 00:20:12.299
so for gut health, probiotics, vitamin D, some other amino
328
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.200
acids that I cover in the course, you stop the inflammation.
329
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:17.920
You change your diet, of course, very important. I often
330
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:20.839
get clients to remove the gluten, the dairy, the beef,
331
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:25.640
the excessive alcohol, the sugar, etc. Right there, you're stopping
332
00:20:25.980 --> 00:20:30.430
leaky gut, chronic damage to your intestines and chronic inflammation. Then,
333
00:20:30.470 --> 00:20:33.089
of course, my course covers a lot of homeopathic remedies
334
00:20:33.130 --> 00:20:35.740
as well as herbs to detoxify the liver. Because the
335
00:20:35.819 --> 00:20:39.420
liver is really the seat of most people's problems. Most
336
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:41.900
people are taking probiotics. Most people are focusing on diet
337
00:20:41.940 --> 00:20:45.019
and gut health, but they're not healing the liver. And
338
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.059
when you forget to heal the liver, the bile doesn't flow,
339
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:51.720
the hormones don't self-regulate. So you're masking symptoms and you
340
00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:53.869
think you're getting better, but if the liver is stuck,
341
00:20:54.170 --> 00:20:58.029
you're going to collapse back into chronic illness. So things
342
00:20:58.069 --> 00:21:03.029
like milk thistle, dandelion, homeopathic remedies as well that are
343
00:21:03.069 --> 00:21:07.609
covered there. Nux vomita, lycopodium, et cetera. These transform the
344
00:21:07.630 --> 00:21:11.329
liver's function, gets it into a positive cycle. So you're detoxifying,
345
00:21:11.349 --> 00:21:13.569
you're getting rid of the junk, you're producing the right
346
00:21:13.630 --> 00:21:17.549
digestive juices, then you're keeping the right digestive juices, then
347
00:21:17.589 --> 00:21:22.319
keep your microbiome, the gut bacteria, healthy. So when you
348
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.339
detoxify your liver, you create a positive cycle in your gut,
349
00:21:25.859 --> 00:21:27.900
because you've got the right bioform. You get rid of
350
00:21:27.940 --> 00:21:31.519
the constipation, you come naturally into hormonal balance. So instead
351
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:35.480
of taking hormone remedies and all this stuff that's forcing
352
00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:38.789
the hormones in a certain way, detoxify your liver, support
353
00:21:38.809 --> 00:21:43.569
your adrenal glands, herbs like ashwagandha, rhodiola, etc. Of course,
354
00:21:43.609 --> 00:21:45.890
I use these with precaution, depending on the medical history
355
00:21:45.910 --> 00:21:48.890
of a person. So please don't just take these blindly.
356
00:21:49.089 --> 00:21:52.579
Consult with your naturopath. But when you clean up the liver,
357
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.009
support the adrenal system, everything starts to self-regulate. You're not
358
00:21:56.130 --> 00:21:59.789
forcing anything in any direction. And because of that, you
359
00:21:59.809 --> 00:22:02.789
get more long-term healing. And it's cheaper to heal that
360
00:22:02.829 --> 00:22:05.839
way as well. You know, people spend thousands of supplements
361
00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:09.519
suppressing symptoms. But when you self-regulate, you need less supplements
362
00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:12.430
over time. And then the biggest cause of the negative
363
00:22:12.470 --> 00:22:15.630
cycle is this unhealed trauma sitting in our nervous system, yeah?
364
00:22:16.150 --> 00:22:21.119
The childhood, whatever happened, whether it's divorce, mom getting beaten
365
00:22:21.150 --> 00:22:23.519
by dad, dad being absent, mom going on a trip
366
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:28.920
and abandoning you, yeah? Grandparents pouring their sorrow, sadness of
367
00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:32.769
whether it's poverty or The sadness of grandma pouring it
368
00:22:32.809 --> 00:22:34.750
onto your mom and your mom feeling burdened by it.
369
00:22:34.849 --> 00:22:38.130
So you feel her unhappiness. All these things program you,
370
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:42.680
your beliefs, your personality, your emotions. This is what keeps
371
00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:45.880
you stuck in a cycle of negativity. And so family
372
00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:50.119
constellations therapy, the healing sentences, the emotional healing lifts you
373
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:52.259
out of there. And when you're lifted out of there,
374
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:54.660
you're not in this fight, flight or freeze response. You're
375
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:57.980
not stressing your nervous system. So you naturally recover much
376
00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:01.279
faster because you're not in this dark cloud of negative
377
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:05.160
emotions from your childhood or from your family system. So
378
00:23:05.309 --> 00:23:07.829
that's how you break the cycle. You need the gut,
379
00:23:08.009 --> 00:23:11.930
the liver, the adrenal system, child trauma, and family trauma.
380
00:23:13.309 --> 00:23:15.650
One of the unique things about your work, Amit, there
381
00:23:15.670 --> 00:23:20.470
are many wonderful holistic physicians and naturopaths in the world today,
382
00:23:20.490 --> 00:23:24.200
people practicing integrative medicine and functional medicine. But then the
383
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:26.759
world of psychotherapy tends to be apart from that. And
384
00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:29.519
you have a lot of psychotherapists, lots of wonderful different
385
00:23:29.539 --> 00:23:33.680
models of psychotherapy. But you really bring these two things together.
386
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:38.480
And with this very holistic and integrative approach to healing
387
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:42.259
and natural medicine. And then you also are very actively
388
00:23:42.339 --> 00:23:48.049
involved with supporting your patients with psychotherapy using this family
389
00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:51.509
consolation therapy, which I believe is the Hellinger work, the
390
00:23:51.569 --> 00:23:53.740
origins of that. And so I wonder if you could
391
00:23:53.779 --> 00:23:57.839
talk about for a moment this integration of psychotherapy and
392
00:23:58.019 --> 00:24:02.660
integrative medicine in the healing process. You've been alluding already,
393
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:05.029
but I wonder if you could just go further with that.
394
00:24:05.049 --> 00:24:08.670
Because one could do either, but they're being done in
395
00:24:08.730 --> 00:24:11.490
a more integrated way. I would assume there's probably some
396
00:24:11.569 --> 00:24:13.170
synergistic benefits from that.
397
00:24:14.529 --> 00:24:17.349
Absolutely. So if you heal your mind and don't heal
398
00:24:17.369 --> 00:24:21.440
your body, then you're also stuck in chronic disease and
399
00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:25.019
chronic inflammation. And then if you take supplements without healing
400
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:28.559
the trauma, releasing the trauma, yeah, your body's under control,
401
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:32.319
but the mind, the unhealed trauma is stressing your nervous system,
402
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:36.119
creating disease. I'm gonna give a few examples, yeah? So
403
00:24:36.289 --> 00:24:39.549
I had a patient with cancer, stomach cancer, and it
404
00:24:39.569 --> 00:24:42.190
started about a few months after her father cheated on
405
00:24:42.230 --> 00:24:46.150
her mother. So she was, of course, shocked and angry,
406
00:24:46.750 --> 00:24:50.630
but why was she angry? Basically, her mother was grieving
407
00:24:51.529 --> 00:24:55.299
and rejecting the father. And the mother complained to my client, oh,
408
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:56.819
your dad is so bad. This is what he's done.
409
00:24:56.940 --> 00:24:59.000
So of course, and many of us do, this is
410
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.119
very natural. We are loyal to the weaker parent. So
411
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:05.420
my client took on the anger of her mother, rejected
412
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:08.200
her father and kind of rescued her mother, became the
413
00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:13.150
parent of her mother. And that is dysfunctional for our
414
00:25:13.470 --> 00:25:17.109
nervous system, for any organism, for human beings, it's dysfunctional.
415
00:25:18.369 --> 00:25:22.259
And Once I got her to really release the mom's anger, saying,
416
00:25:22.299 --> 00:25:25.480
dear mom, I suffer with you. I love you very much.
417
00:25:26.339 --> 00:25:29.059
I carry your pain with you. And I see that
418
00:25:29.140 --> 00:25:33.000
my pain is different from your pain. I love my
419
00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:35.779
father very much. And out of love and loyalty to you,
420
00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:38.279
I am looking away from him. I'm moving away from him.
421
00:25:39.140 --> 00:25:41.660
Please forgive me if I let your anger be yours
422
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.250
with deep respect because you're the big one. I'm the
423
00:25:44.289 --> 00:25:48.450
young little one. This is the consolation therapy. And immediately
424
00:25:48.470 --> 00:25:51.170
at that point, she felt like, ah, okay, I realized
425
00:25:51.609 --> 00:25:54.109
I was swimming in my mom's anger and upsetness and
426
00:25:54.170 --> 00:25:56.869
rescuing her. And by bowing down to my mother as
427
00:25:56.930 --> 00:26:00.200
the big one and respecting her as the adult, I
428
00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:03.500
see that her journey of suffering, me rejecting my father,
429
00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:07.640
she's not getting stronger. By me allowing her to feel
430
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.720
her pain, I see her as the adult and an
431
00:26:09.859 --> 00:26:14.049
enabled being. That set my client free, one. Then I
432
00:26:14.089 --> 00:26:16.390
got her to imagine looking at her dad. So the
433
00:26:16.410 --> 00:26:18.049
parents don't have to be there, yeah, in this therapy.
434
00:26:18.769 --> 00:26:20.970
I got her to imagine looking at her dad, saying,
435
00:26:20.990 --> 00:26:24.539
dear dad, it shocked me what you did. Yeah, I
436
00:26:24.579 --> 00:26:27.720
was surprised. And it's costing me my life though to
437
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:33.359
reject you. Yeah, please forgive me. I'm your daughter. Yeah,
438
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:35.900
and I do take you back into my heart. I've
439
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:39.529
always been your daughter. Okay, she felt a deep relief
440
00:26:39.869 --> 00:26:43.339
down in her system. And believe it or not, six
441
00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:48.660
months later, without chemotherapy, without drugs, et cetera, no cancer.
442
00:26:49.349 --> 00:26:55.230
Tumor markers just poof, gone. I have many other clients. Anxiety,
443
00:26:55.269 --> 00:26:59.630
for example. Somebody came in, chronic anxiety, overwhelmed. We were
444
00:26:59.650 --> 00:27:02.369
doing homeopathy. We were doing the adrenal support. We were
445
00:27:02.390 --> 00:27:04.890
doing the detox. And of course, those are important to
446
00:27:04.910 --> 00:27:08.170
stabilize the body. But there was this underlying overwhelm that
447
00:27:08.250 --> 00:27:11.549
kept persisting. So I got her to go home, ask
448
00:27:11.589 --> 00:27:14.769
her mom, was there a miscarriage or abortion? And she
449
00:27:14.789 --> 00:27:16.869
came back to the clinic shocked. She was like, how
450
00:27:16.910 --> 00:27:20.349
did you know? I was right. There was a miscarriage
451
00:27:20.390 --> 00:27:22.819
in her family. And now why is that important for you?
452
00:27:23.539 --> 00:27:28.599
Because when there's a miscarriage, we often forget about that
453
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:31.420
child one. So they're excluded. These are the rules of
454
00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:34.799
constellation that we need to include everyone. That child, miscarriage
455
00:27:34.819 --> 00:27:38.319
child was excluded. Number two, my client came after the
456
00:27:38.339 --> 00:27:41.589
miscarriage child. So in terms of birth order or life
457
00:27:41.690 --> 00:27:45.470
order or soul order, she was second child, not first.
458
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:49.339
So she was feeling overwhelmed because she was acting the
459
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:52.579
first position, but she belonged to the second child position.
460
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:55.700
So I got her to do this exercise in family
461
00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:58.640
constellations where I got her to imagine her parents behind her.
462
00:27:59.500 --> 00:28:01.839
Then I got her to imagine this first child behind
463
00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:04.309
her as well, in between her and the parents. Then
464
00:28:04.329 --> 00:28:07.990
I got her to feel the yeah feel her position
465
00:28:08.490 --> 00:28:12.470
as this in second place as a second child now
466
00:28:12.490 --> 00:28:14.750
it's hard to imagine but for the first time in
467
00:28:14.910 --> 00:28:19.539
her life her heart relaxed overwhelmed disappeared and she didn't
468
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:23.980
need therapy anymore okay so i agree it's important to
469
00:28:24.059 --> 00:28:27.180
use the holistic medicine yeah i have thousands of patients
470
00:28:27.420 --> 00:28:32.750
using homeopathy whether it's um Or a metallic for deep depression, guilt,
471
00:28:32.809 --> 00:28:35.930
et cetera. Ignatia for fear of betrayal. And we'll talk
472
00:28:35.970 --> 00:28:39.210
about homeopathic remedies actually very soon. But it's also important
473
00:28:39.230 --> 00:28:41.819
to heal the root cause, which often comes from systemic
474
00:28:41.859 --> 00:28:48.279
or family trauma. Yeah. So hopefully I've described the importance
475
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:51.720
of combining the two. Let me talk about the biology
476
00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:54.960
as well. So yes, I've had people with chronic anxiety
477
00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:57.509
as well. And they've done all the therapies in the world.
478
00:28:58.029 --> 00:29:01.450
But guess what? They had a food sensitivity. I actually
479
00:29:01.470 --> 00:29:04.170
had a patient, a suicidal patient, who had done every
480
00:29:04.190 --> 00:29:09.089
single therapy, energy healing, psychotherapy, etc. And when we removed
481
00:29:09.150 --> 00:29:12.619
gluten from her diet, we healed her gut with probiotics
482
00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:18.500
and other amino acids, the suicidal thoughts went. So it
483
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:21.880
was mostly gluten. So sometimes the biology is the problem,
484
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.339
especially when there's burnout. People are stressed and burnt out.
485
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:28.839
So yes, they'll do the therapy to feel better, but
486
00:29:28.859 --> 00:29:31.740
the body's exhausted. And when the body's exhausted, cortisol is
487
00:29:31.789 --> 00:29:34.609
out of balance. Neurotransmitters cannot catch up. So we need
488
00:29:34.650 --> 00:29:37.779
adrenal support then. You need the B vitamins, the ashwagandha,
489
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:41.940
the rhodiola, and all these herbs that I cover in
490
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.400
the courses because the body needs nourishment to make the
491
00:29:45.460 --> 00:29:49.730
right neurotransmitters. So healing the mind and the body together
492
00:29:49.869 --> 00:29:52.369
is essential for well-being. Essential.
493
00:29:54.250 --> 00:29:59.589
I love the... the family consolation therapy is so illuminating
494
00:29:59.630 --> 00:30:02.930
because in many ways, most of us don't realize this,
495
00:30:03.509 --> 00:30:13.720
but we're all playing out the unprocessed and uncompleted emotional
496
00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:18.039
lives of our ancestors. And in many ways, there's some
497
00:30:18.059 --> 00:30:24.440
wonderful psychotherapeutic work, Virginia Satir did a sculpting work, and
498
00:30:24.460 --> 00:30:28.009
she would show how when people were locked into chronic conflict,
499
00:30:28.029 --> 00:30:31.390
like couples locked into conflict, generally the roots went back
500
00:30:31.470 --> 00:30:33.769
to both of their parents, and they're really playing out,
501
00:30:33.890 --> 00:30:36.579
it's like the ghosts of their parents are playing out
502
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:39.819
these conflicts through them, right? And it can be so
503
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:43.200
illuminating when we can actually release these, and whether our
504
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:46.119
parents are still with us or not, to release, and
505
00:30:46.259 --> 00:30:49.089
with complete love, but that's their work, we have our
506
00:30:49.140 --> 00:30:51.430
own work, we have our own destiny, but it gets
507
00:30:51.529 --> 00:30:53.970
all mixed up and conflated, and we can be suffering
508
00:30:54.009 --> 00:30:55.970
in all sorts of ways and have no idea what
509
00:30:55.990 --> 00:30:58.130
the roots are of it. It's very illuminating.
510
00:30:58.890 --> 00:31:00.910
Absolutely. You see, we do it out of love and loyalty.
511
00:31:01.150 --> 00:31:05.000
Nothing wrong with it. So I never pathologize these loyalties
512
00:31:05.019 --> 00:31:07.900
because then if I say that's wrong, then we're forcing
513
00:31:07.940 --> 00:31:10.359
ourselves to get better. But when I invite you to
514
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:13.079
feel the love and loyalty you have to your parents' suffering,
515
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:16.960
only in that awareness do you then create choice for
516
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:19.269
yourself and say, okay, you know what? This is unnecessary.
517
00:31:19.670 --> 00:31:22.450
I see, Dad, you're big. I see, Mom, you're capable.
518
00:31:22.980 --> 00:31:25.559
Is it okay if I give this to you? So
519
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:29.599
always with permission rather than resistance. Otherwise, it becomes a
520
00:31:29.660 --> 00:31:30.980
blocked healing and it doesn't work.
521
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:38.440
So let's talk about homeopathy now. And maybe you could...
522
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.640
Probably many of our listeners are familiar to one degree
523
00:31:41.660 --> 00:31:44.920
or another with homeopathy, but maybe some not. So I
524
00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:48.589
wonder if you could just describe homeopathy, which at least
525
00:31:48.630 --> 00:31:55.650
my understanding of it is that... Using various herbal medicines
526
00:31:55.769 --> 00:31:59.279
and various things, we use this kind of, not the
527
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:01.299
same as the world of microdosing, but these kind of
528
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:05.559
microdoses of things that begin to trigger a healing process
529
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:10.299
in the body. But it's a little difficult sometimes for
530
00:32:10.339 --> 00:32:14.180
people to grasp because it was seemingly, and according to
531
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.799
Western science, the doses we're doing, you wouldn't think they
532
00:32:17.819 --> 00:32:21.400
would have any effect, or we can't see in the
533
00:32:21.460 --> 00:32:23.769
test tube maybe. I don't know where that stands in
534
00:32:23.789 --> 00:32:27.130
terms of that kind of science investigating homeopathy, but certainly
535
00:32:27.250 --> 00:32:31.529
many people have experienced profound healing through homeopathy. So just
536
00:32:31.569 --> 00:32:34.630
describe what homeopathy is for us a little bit, and
537
00:32:34.670 --> 00:32:37.319
then perhaps how you use it with your clients and patients.
538
00:32:38.579 --> 00:32:41.619
With pleasure. So homeopathy, one of my favorite modalities, yeah,
539
00:32:41.660 --> 00:32:45.309
because it's energetic in nature and it's energetic because there's
540
00:32:45.369 --> 00:32:48.410
actually no molecule of the original substance, the herb, the plant,
541
00:32:48.430 --> 00:32:51.269
the mineral, the animal thingy in the tablet or the
542
00:32:51.309 --> 00:32:54.130
liquid that you're taking. And that's why it's profound because
543
00:32:54.190 --> 00:32:59.059
it works at a vibrational level and we matter. Basically
544
00:32:59.099 --> 00:33:03.500
we are vibrational beings and the vibration transforms into matter. Yeah.
545
00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:06.390
And so disease is, is a state of matter that
546
00:33:06.589 --> 00:33:11.549
is created by a faulty vibration. So we can force
547
00:33:11.569 --> 00:33:14.650
the matter with herbs and supplements, but if the vibration
548
00:33:14.690 --> 00:33:17.369
is faulty and we don't transform that, the matter remains sick.
549
00:33:18.609 --> 00:33:21.309
And then when you transform the vibration with homeopathic remedies,
550
00:33:21.369 --> 00:33:25.410
with trauma release, with constellation work, and then the matter
551
00:33:25.450 --> 00:33:28.750
starts to heal because the vibration shifts. So we got
552
00:33:28.769 --> 00:33:30.450
to heal the vibration in order for the matter to
553
00:33:30.490 --> 00:33:34.880
heal more completely and more permanently. So what is homeopathy
554
00:33:34.900 --> 00:33:39.799
and how is it created? Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a legend,
555
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:43.700
a legend in medicine. He is the originator of homeopathy.
556
00:33:44.380 --> 00:33:48.799
And he discovered homeopathy like this. He basically, there's a
557
00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:52.400
bark of a tree, the cinchona tree that has quinine
558
00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:56.369
in it and it's used to treat malaria. He overdosed
559
00:33:56.410 --> 00:33:59.329
on this bark and he took large amounts and got
560
00:33:59.349 --> 00:34:02.490
the symptoms of malaria, headache, joint pain, et cetera. So
561
00:34:02.529 --> 00:34:04.609
he was like, hang on a sec, How come if
562
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.269
I take large amounts of something, I get the symptoms
563
00:34:07.309 --> 00:34:10.110
of what it's meant to cure? And he said, aha.
564
00:34:11.090 --> 00:34:14.690
So that means if I have symptoms of something, and
565
00:34:14.789 --> 00:34:18.110
what if I take tiny amounts of this amount, then
566
00:34:18.170 --> 00:34:24.110
that's whatever creates symptoms in large amounts, in toxic doses, yeah?
567
00:34:25.090 --> 00:34:27.449
Then that means if I take small amounts of that
568
00:34:27.510 --> 00:34:32.130
same substance, it will cure the symptoms of what it
569
00:34:32.429 --> 00:34:36.260
would create in large amounts. toxic doses, basically, yeah? So
570
00:34:36.340 --> 00:34:41.980
like cures like, the principles of homeopathy. Let me simplify that.
571
00:34:43.500 --> 00:34:46.659
If you cut an onion, sniff it, you get watery
572
00:34:46.699 --> 00:34:50.289
eyes and a runny nose, yeah? And so when somebody
573
00:34:50.369 --> 00:34:52.710
comes with an allergy, watery eyes and a runny nose,
574
00:34:52.909 --> 00:34:55.010
I say, ah, this looks like the picture of an onion,
575
00:34:55.030 --> 00:34:56.909
like somebody who sniffed an onion. So I'll give them
576
00:34:56.929 --> 00:35:02.530
a tiny dose, a homeopathic dose of onion. Similarly, arsenicum album,
577
00:35:02.610 --> 00:35:05.110
a very common remedy, is used for food poisoning. If
578
00:35:05.130 --> 00:35:07.989
you take large doses of arsenic, you're not meant to.
579
00:35:08.030 --> 00:35:12.099
It's a poison. It'll kill you. People get diarrhea, vomiting,
580
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:17.239
all that. And so when somebody comes with the symptoms
581
00:35:18.019 --> 00:35:22.469
of food poisoning, so diarrhea, vomiting, chills, this thirst for water,
582
00:35:23.210 --> 00:35:25.989
It looks like a picture of arsenicum album. Even though
583
00:35:26.010 --> 00:35:28.610
they haven't taken arsenic, they've just got a bug, but
584
00:35:28.650 --> 00:35:31.170
the picture looks like that of arsenicum album. So I'll
585
00:35:31.190 --> 00:35:37.119
give them homeopathic arsenicum. Similarly for mental health, there's or
586
00:35:37.139 --> 00:35:43.760
a metallicum, for example. Yeah, homeopathic gold. So people who
587
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:47.460
feel guilty, they've gone through a sense of failure, depression,
588
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:51.300
suicidal thoughts, et cetera, I'll often use homeopathic gold or
589
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:56.530
a metallicum. I also use homeopathy for trauma. Why? Because
590
00:35:56.550 --> 00:36:00.289
trauma is a vibration. It's not a physical thing. It's
591
00:36:00.329 --> 00:36:04.139
a vibration that's stuck in our nervous system. Yeah. So
592
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:08.119
a B vitamin cannot really release trauma per se. Psychotherapy can,
593
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:12.280
but vibrational medicine like homeopathy, like bath flowers, they touch
594
00:36:12.300 --> 00:36:15.210
the vibration of trauma and can release trauma. Yeah.
595
00:36:17.949 --> 00:36:22.230
What if transformation isn't just about thinking differently, but feeling differently?
596
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:25.500
Science shows us that true change happens when we align
597
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:28.940
not just our minds, but also the neural networks in
598
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:32.699
our hearts and guts. This heart-mind connection is the key
599
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:36.650
to deeper healing, resilience, and expanded awareness. That's why I
600
00:36:36.710 --> 00:36:40.570

And that's why homeopathy is amazing because it transforms lives.
615
00:37:39.849 --> 00:37:43.010
the entire physiology, the vibration, et cetera, of a person
616
00:37:43.050 --> 00:37:48.409
from deep within, yeah, into a permanent healing. For example,
617
00:37:49.230 --> 00:37:54.820
client with seizures. Yeah. She came in and I intuitively felt, okay,
618
00:37:55.380 --> 00:37:58.199
what happened with your sister? She was shocked. I didn't
619
00:37:58.219 --> 00:38:00.639
even know she had a sister. She started crying. She
620
00:38:00.659 --> 00:38:01.760
was like, how did you know? I was like, I
621
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:05.280
don't know. There's something about your sister. She says, you're right.
622
00:38:06.409 --> 00:38:10.710
She says, when I was a young girl, My sister
623
00:38:10.769 --> 00:38:13.949
was 12 years old. We got into an accident, a
624
00:38:13.989 --> 00:38:17.440
car accident, and my sister was on my right side, yeah?
625
00:38:18.179 --> 00:38:21.480
And I lost my sister. She died in the accident, okay?
626
00:38:23.099 --> 00:38:26.179
Then after the accident, she didn't have any symptoms. Then
627
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:31.679
she had a dream that her daughter, she was pregnant, yeah?
628
00:38:31.780 --> 00:38:34.389
She had a dream that her sister was coming back
629
00:38:34.429 --> 00:38:38.329
to her through her daughter. So now her subconscious thinks
630
00:38:38.369 --> 00:38:42.329
her daughter is her sister. She doesn't know that mentally. Yeah.
631
00:38:43.789 --> 00:38:48.010
Now guess what? When the daughter reaches 12 years old,
632
00:38:48.489 --> 00:38:53.619
my client starts getting epileptic fits, seizures on her right side. Okay.
633
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:58.380
So in the therapy session, I got her to say
634
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:01.360
to her sister, not to her daughter, but to her sister,
635
00:39:01.579 --> 00:39:04.570
dear sister, you know, you're what's missing for me. I've
636
00:39:04.610 --> 00:39:07.230
missed you. I'm sorry I couldn't save you. So she
637
00:39:07.250 --> 00:39:09.849
could feel the stuck response of trying to rescue her sister. Yeah,
638
00:39:09.869 --> 00:39:12.869
that was stuck in a seizure response. And she cried.
639
00:39:12.909 --> 00:39:15.030
She bawled out from connecting to the deep love and
640
00:39:15.070 --> 00:39:18.250
grief of losing her sister. And she relaxed and she's like, OK,
641
00:39:18.260 --> 00:39:20.860
I don't need to save you right now. That night,
642
00:39:20.860 --> 00:39:23.559
50 to 80 percent, I kid you not, of reduction
643
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:27.809
in seizures. It sounds unbelievable, but it's true. And then
644
00:39:27.829 --> 00:39:32.449
I looked at homeopathic remedies. So in homeopathy, we have
645
00:39:32.489 --> 00:39:35.829
a beautiful book called The Repertory, and it has every bloody,
646
00:39:35.949 --> 00:39:39.710
excuse my language, sorry. It has every symptom you can imagine, right?
647
00:39:39.750 --> 00:39:42.809
So there's a whole chapter for types of traumas. So
648
00:39:43.030 --> 00:39:47.630
ailments or sicknesses from accidents, from parents fighting, from loss
649
00:39:47.670 --> 00:39:50.869
of business, from breakups, from death of a loved one,
650
00:39:50.889 --> 00:39:53.170
you name it. Right. So there's a whole chapter. So
651
00:39:53.210 --> 00:39:56.719
I looked at that ailments from accidents. There was about
652
00:39:56.780 --> 00:39:57.639
five or 10 remedies.
653
00:39:58.119 --> 00:39:58.320
Yeah.
654
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:02.119
Opium was one of them, homeopathic opium. And then I
655
00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:04.519
looked in the chapter of tremors and, you know, limbs
656
00:40:04.579 --> 00:40:08.469
and legs. And I looked at, you know, tremors in the,
657
00:40:09.050 --> 00:40:12.340
in the legs, Worse when falling asleep because my client
658
00:40:12.380 --> 00:40:14.760
would tremor on falling asleep. So her body wouldn't let
659
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:16.860
go of collapsing because she needed to fix something and
660
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:20.880
resolve something in her life, rescuing her sister. Again, in
661
00:40:20.940 --> 00:40:25.579
that chapter, opium came up. So, and there was other
662
00:40:25.619 --> 00:40:27.940
symptoms as well. So I gave her homeopathic opium.
663
00:40:29.300 --> 00:40:29.619
Gone.
664
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:37.030
Yeah. Seizures almost to zero. I think she's completely cured
665
00:40:37.050 --> 00:40:39.409
right now. We lost touch, but she's completely fine. I
666
00:40:39.429 --> 00:40:43.210
don't think even she's on medication anymore. Fully resolved, right?
667
00:40:43.389 --> 00:40:48.679
By combining the constellation work, the trauma healing, and homeopathy. Okay?
668
00:40:49.219 --> 00:40:53.039
That's the beauty of homeopathy and integrating medicine. And I
669
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:54.039
have lots of examples.
670
00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:56.940
We don't have to get too deep into this, but
671
00:40:56.960 --> 00:41:01.619
I'm just curious. So you said... The homeopathic medicine, whether
672
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:04.019
it's kind of in a tincture or whatever form it's in,
673
00:41:04.500 --> 00:41:08.099
no longer actually contains the molecule of the original substance,
674
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:14.690
but it contains the energetic vibration. So I wonder if anything,
675
00:41:14.730 --> 00:41:18.400
without getting too far afield in it, of. of how
676
00:41:18.460 --> 00:41:22.179
that's produced, how these are created. But then more importantly,
677
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:26.570
you know, if we're working with homeopathic medicine, what the
678
00:41:26.659 --> 00:41:29.550
sources of these are and whether there are good sources
679
00:41:29.590 --> 00:41:31.789
and not so great sources. I mean, how do we
680
00:41:31.829 --> 00:41:36.250
verify we're getting high quality homeopathic medicines that are done
681
00:41:36.909 --> 00:41:42.510
with however that's done, that we actually preserve the energetic
682
00:41:42.550 --> 00:41:45.150
vibration without having the actual molecule present?
683
00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:50.019
So homeopathic remedies are created out of plant substances, mineral substances,
684
00:41:50.099 --> 00:41:53.159
and animal byproducts. And also out of like anything out
685
00:41:53.199 --> 00:42:01.389
there in nature, like, um, yeah. Anything gold, uh, vaccines,
686
00:42:01.409 --> 00:42:03.699
you can find homeopathic versions of vaccines, you name it.
687
00:42:04.170 --> 00:42:05.889
How they create it is you take a tiny amount
688
00:42:06.050 --> 00:42:08.300
of the substance. They call it like one part of it.
689
00:42:08.929 --> 00:42:11.760
And you put in a hundred parts of, um, some grains,
690
00:42:11.860 --> 00:42:13.739
usually it's like lactose or something. And you grind that
691
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:17.159
for about four hours. Then you take one tiny part
692
00:42:17.179 --> 00:42:20.420
of that and put in a hundred parts of something else, yeah?
693
00:42:21.099 --> 00:42:24.300
So it's re-diluting. Eventually you now transfer this one part
694
00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:26.679
into water and alcohol. So you take one part of
695
00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:32.059
this ground substance, I'm simplifying it, okay? And you put
696
00:42:32.099 --> 00:42:34.179
a hundred parts of water and alcohol and you shake
697
00:42:34.219 --> 00:42:38.719
that up for a long time and then you take
698
00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:43.239
one drop of that and re-dilute it in 100 parts
699
00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:45.599
of water and alcohol and then you shake it up
700
00:42:45.739 --> 00:42:48.900
for a long time it's called potentization and you do
701
00:42:48.940 --> 00:42:53.159
this multiple times and when you cross when you do
702
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:58.050
12 dilutions you reach what's called a 12C usually at
703
00:42:58.070 --> 00:43:01.070
a 12C and beyond then you surpass what they call
704
00:43:01.190 --> 00:43:03.929
Avogadro's number I don't know the science behind it but
705
00:43:03.949 --> 00:43:07.230
basically there's no molecule left But the theory is that
706
00:43:07.269 --> 00:43:10.610
you polarize the water molecules or you just capture the vibration.
707
00:43:12.369 --> 00:43:16.440
We don't know how to measure the effect of homeopathy
708
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:22.280
with scientific tools. But that doesn't mean it's not valid.
709
00:43:22.619 --> 00:43:27.519
Science is just one modality of measuring phenomena. But it's
710
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:32.449
not the gold standard of experiencing life. God is beyond science.
711
00:43:33.050 --> 00:43:37.210
Nature is beyond science. Vibration is Science might catch up.
712
00:43:38.659 --> 00:43:40.630
The science is not the end all and be all
713
00:43:40.769 --> 00:43:45.010
of proof of any medicine. Yeah. And so that's how
714
00:43:45.050 --> 00:43:48.929
homeopathic remedies are made. And that's why they're so profound
715
00:43:49.489 --> 00:43:52.659
is because we look at the unique symptoms of a person.
716
00:43:53.340 --> 00:43:54.960
We look at the collection of symptoms and then choose
717
00:43:54.980 --> 00:43:59.039
the remedy that matches the entire picture. So for example, constipation,
718
00:43:59.059 --> 00:44:03.650
there's thousands of remedies for constipation, right? Max vomica, lycopodium,
719
00:44:03.710 --> 00:44:06.820
et cetera. I had a client with chronic constipation. We
720
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:11.179
tried the herbs, we tried the magnesium, we tried the triphala, everything.
721
00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:15.440
I even gave her homeopathic remedies specifically with constipation. It
722
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:18.119
didn't fully work. Then I looked at the traumas in
723
00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:21.989
her life. Guess what? She'd grown up with her parents fighting.
724
00:44:22.869 --> 00:44:25.150
And in that book called The Repertory, the homeopathic book,
725
00:44:25.170 --> 00:44:30.429
there's a chapter, ailments from discord between parents, arguments between parents.
726
00:44:31.309 --> 00:44:34.300
One of the remedies in there was graphites. And graphites
727
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:37.260
is a great constipation remedy. When I gave her graphites,
728
00:44:38.250 --> 00:44:42.090
constipation gone, right? So the beauty of homeopathy is we
729
00:44:42.110 --> 00:44:45.010
look at the uniqueness of symptoms. Is there bloating? Is
730
00:44:45.030 --> 00:44:49.110
there thirst? Yeah, is the constipation worse with water, with
731
00:44:49.190 --> 00:44:52.219
certain foods? Is your asthma worse at two in the morning?
732
00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:54.860
Is it better with warm drinks, cold drinks? We distinguish,
733
00:44:54.900 --> 00:44:59.570
we differentiate, yeah, your symptoms so we can select a
734
00:44:59.659 --> 00:45:02.980
more unique remedy for you. And because of the uniqueness
735
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:06.300
of the remedy, the healing goes much deeper, much faster,
736
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:07.679
and more permanent.
737
00:45:09.659 --> 00:45:12.559
It's changing the way you are. I've seen before, many
738
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:17.440
people have probably seen this, there was research done where
739
00:45:17.739 --> 00:45:26.239
the connection between our psychophysical state and water, and then
740
00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:31.130
that showing up in water, I think, freezing the water.
741
00:45:31.150 --> 00:45:33.710
So then you start to get crystalline patterns in the ice.
742
00:45:34.369 --> 00:45:38.510
And so when water around someone who's in a state
743
00:45:38.550 --> 00:45:40.969
of joy versus someone who's in a state of anger
744
00:45:41.010 --> 00:45:43.940
or a state of upset, you see completely different patterns
745
00:45:44.019 --> 00:45:46.320
in the water. So obviously we live in a vibrational
746
00:45:46.380 --> 00:45:49.340
and energy world and we're interconnected in that way profoundly.
747
00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:52.730
So it makes complete sense that that the ultimate healing
748
00:45:52.809 --> 00:45:55.429
is at the energetic level. And even in terms of
749
00:45:55.449 --> 00:45:57.719
quantum theory, we could be talking about we're getting into
750
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:01.639
the quantum level and quantum healing and so forth. So
751
00:46:01.739 --> 00:46:04.460
is there an international body that certifies the quality of
752
00:46:04.500 --> 00:46:08.530
homeopathic medicine so that people know they're getting quality or
753
00:46:08.550 --> 00:46:10.460
you just have to know the good brands or.
754
00:46:12.409 --> 00:46:15.489
Yeah. So on my website, when people sign up, I
755
00:46:15.550 --> 00:46:17.210
have access to professional dispensaries.
756
00:46:17.269 --> 00:46:17.530
Yeah.
757
00:46:17.750 --> 00:46:20.590
People get access to my professional dispensaries, the ones that
758
00:46:20.630 --> 00:46:24.210
I trust and even get discounts for specific homeopathic remedies.
759
00:46:24.829 --> 00:46:27.320
So I only trust those ones to be honest. Yeah.
760
00:46:27.340 --> 00:46:30.300
Cause they, they follow certain protocols for storing the remedies,
761
00:46:30.659 --> 00:46:32.739
making sure they're not near, you know, phones and all
762
00:46:32.780 --> 00:46:37.139
this other things that kind of affect homeopathic remedies. And
763
00:46:37.860 --> 00:46:41.639
they choose most of the professional brands that have, potent
764
00:46:42.739 --> 00:46:46.730
potent effects because there's some useless brands out there as
765
00:46:46.750 --> 00:46:49.110
well they put all the ingredients in there but there's
766
00:46:49.150 --> 00:46:54.480
no actual potent effect yeah and um so in these
767
00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:56.920
dispensaries also i keep a list of the ones that
768
00:46:56.940 --> 00:46:59.800
i choose the liver protocols as well And then I
769
00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:03.039
love using certain drops that combine different remedies as well.
770
00:47:03.059 --> 00:47:05.059
So you don't have to struggle figuring out which is
771
00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:07.639
the best remedy for you. I've got a list of
772
00:47:08.099 --> 00:47:12.090
products that have different five or six different homeopathic remedies
773
00:47:12.150 --> 00:47:17.309
blended together for gas issues, for constipation, for fear, for anxiety,
774
00:47:17.389 --> 00:47:22.760
for stimulating your immune system, for detoxifying your lymphatic system.
775
00:47:24.139 --> 00:47:26.699
So there's wonderful products out there. You just need to
776
00:47:26.719 --> 00:47:28.880
know where to look, and I've simplified it for everyone.
777
00:47:28.900 --> 00:47:31.420
So just go to the website, sign up in the email,
778
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:34.159
you get a link to the professional dispensary, and you're
779
00:47:34.179 --> 00:47:34.679
good to go.
780
00:47:36.409 --> 00:47:38.250
So we've been alluding to this all along, you've been
781
00:47:38.269 --> 00:47:42.530
alluding to this all along, but just the overall body-mind connection.
782
00:47:43.010 --> 00:47:44.989
I wonder if you could just talk a little bit
783
00:47:45.110 --> 00:47:48.670
more about the body-mind connection, because obviously when we're talking
784
00:47:48.690 --> 00:47:52.320
about energy healing, when we're talking about integrating psychotherapy and
785
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:56.150
trauma work with uh, the physical work of nutrition and,
786
00:47:56.170 --> 00:47:59.920
and holistic medicine and so forth were, were really in
787
00:47:59.960 --> 00:48:03.340
this body mind connection world. And so I just wonder
788
00:48:03.380 --> 00:48:06.820
if you could, um, elaborate a little more in terms
789
00:48:06.880 --> 00:48:11.530
of what you really learned through your work, uh, understanding
790
00:48:11.570 --> 00:48:14.869
about the body mind connection. And, you know, there's a whole, uh,
791
00:48:15.329 --> 00:48:22.559
thing in Western medicine about, um, uh, describing things as psychosomatic,
792
00:48:22.699 --> 00:48:25.849
as if that means they're not real, or that the
793
00:48:25.969 --> 00:48:29.909
placebo effect, and then of course, some people may not
794
00:48:29.949 --> 00:48:33.489
have heard about the nocebo effect, right? But as if
795
00:48:33.550 --> 00:48:37.530
these are things that invalidate, and in fact, they're really
796
00:48:37.630 --> 00:48:41.840
part of the overall healing process of understanding the mind
797
00:48:42.030 --> 00:48:45.940
and the body, and that the intelligence of our immune
798
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:51.059
system What science really can't even begin to explain. And
799
00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:56.909
there's obviously this incredible level of intelligence that's operating at
800
00:48:56.929 --> 00:48:58.909
so many different levels. What we think of as the
801
00:48:58.949 --> 00:49:03.389
mind that we're aware of at the energetic quantum level
802
00:49:03.469 --> 00:49:07.389
of spirit, of beingness. I mean, it's all on a continuum, obviously.
803
00:49:07.909 --> 00:49:10.219
And so I wonder if you could talk about sort
804
00:49:10.260 --> 00:49:13.380
of your understanding of all that and how that helps
805
00:49:13.420 --> 00:49:14.440
facilitate healing.
806
00:49:16.139 --> 00:49:19.570
I love that. So I've alluded to the gut, the liver,
807
00:49:19.940 --> 00:49:25.139
and the adrenal system. Yeah. How unhealthy foods, antibiotics, et cetera,
808
00:49:25.809 --> 00:49:28.550
destroy our gut microbiome, affect our neurotransmitters, affect our mood,
809
00:49:28.730 --> 00:49:32.199
how toxicity as well affects your brain chemicals. And when
810
00:49:32.219 --> 00:49:35.079
you have adrenal fatigue, that also affects your neurotransmitters, affecting
811
00:49:35.099 --> 00:49:37.000
your brain chemicals, and therefore your perception and your mood.
812
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:41.610
So that's the body-mind connection and the gut-brain axis people
813
00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:44.789
talk about, right? Let's go the other way around now.
814
00:49:46.489 --> 00:49:49.630
When your mom or dad is sad, right, you take
815
00:49:49.710 --> 00:49:52.849
on their sadness, yeah? And you, out of love and loyalty,
816
00:49:52.869 --> 00:49:56.170
you become sad with them. And so maybe your breathing changes,
817
00:49:56.210 --> 00:49:59.460
your posture changes, you go into depression, right? But very
818
00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:02.679
important now, when you are stressed or traumatized or unhappy,
819
00:50:02.699 --> 00:50:06.820
there's this big, beautiful nerve called the vagus nerve. It's
820
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:11.199
a massive nerve that innervates your breathing, your gut, your liver,
821
00:50:12.579 --> 00:50:17.119
your heart rate, etc. It actually releases chemicals called cytokines
822
00:50:17.139 --> 00:50:20.090
that affect your gut microbiome, your liver, the way your
823
00:50:20.110 --> 00:50:24.949
liver produces or releases bile and all that. Now, when
824
00:50:24.989 --> 00:50:27.650
you're stressed, traumatized, you have unhealed trauma in your nervous system,
825
00:50:27.849 --> 00:50:30.769
or you're sad for mom, or you're angry with your sister, etc.
826
00:50:32.389 --> 00:50:35.670
Your vagus nerve changes in function. It releases different chemicals
827
00:50:35.690 --> 00:50:37.469
to your liver, to your breathing, to your heart rate,
828
00:50:37.889 --> 00:50:43.159
to your gut. So it's transforming your physiology immediately. Immediately. Yeah.
829
00:50:43.719 --> 00:50:46.920
So imagine now you have unhealed stress and trauma perpetually
830
00:50:47.059 --> 00:50:50.079
stimulating this vagus nerve. You have to be sick, tired, etc.,
831
00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:55.079
your physiology is going to shift completely to match the
832
00:50:55.119 --> 00:50:57.340
kind of stress you're experiencing from the environment on a
833
00:50:57.380 --> 00:51:02.360
daily basis. So then you start becoming unhealthy, unhappy. That's
834
00:51:02.389 --> 00:51:06.730
why unhappiness and unhealthiness go together. Because the nervous system,
835
00:51:06.769 --> 00:51:09.170
the vagus nerve, your mind, the effect of the mind
836
00:51:09.230 --> 00:51:11.769
on the nerves, and then the effect of the nerves
837
00:51:11.829 --> 00:51:15.510
on your gut, liver, et cetera, they all happen simultaneously.
838
00:51:17.110 --> 00:51:19.090
And so the moment you release that trauma, the moment
839
00:51:19.110 --> 00:51:22.030
you express that anger or forgive mom for the abandonment
840
00:51:22.090 --> 00:51:26.530
or the abuse, the moment you forgive dad for, I
841
00:51:26.550 --> 00:51:29.199
don't know, breaking up with mom or causing the conflict,
842
00:51:29.719 --> 00:51:32.320
and you come back to that state of peace and neutrality,
843
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:35.960
your vagus nerve also resets itself. And then it sends
844
00:51:36.019 --> 00:51:40.059
different signals to your physiology, gut, liver, adrenals, etc. I
845
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:43.800
have to check that one, but basically the rest of
846
00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:48.420
your body. And so, if different signals are being sent,
847
00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:52.000
healthy signals are being sent, your physiology relaxes, comes back
848
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:54.570
into a healthy flow, your liver starts releasing the right
849
00:51:54.630 --> 00:51:57.230
amount of bile, your gut has the right kind of
850
00:51:57.289 --> 00:52:00.690
cytokines that then nourish your good bacteria back to a
851
00:52:00.809 --> 00:52:06.329
healthier state, leaky gut reduces, then chronic inflammation goes down, right?
852
00:52:06.650 --> 00:52:09.199
And everything starts to heal. And you can see that
853
00:52:10.260 --> 00:52:15.059
if somebody has arthritis, asthma, eczema, whatever, and they're stressed,
854
00:52:15.550 --> 00:52:20.329
usually their symptoms are worse, right? Because stress affects the
855
00:52:20.369 --> 00:52:23.219
nervous system, the vagus nerve, and that affects, of course,
856
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:25.920
all the organs. And when the organs are affected, then
857
00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:29.000
the chronic inflammation, the chronic disease gets stronger.
858
00:52:29.019 --> 00:52:34.869
I wonder if, I know you do in your work,
859
00:52:35.489 --> 00:52:41.610
have practices that you offer people to begin to move
860
00:52:41.630 --> 00:52:46.869
this body-mind continuum forward. in a positive direction, even the
861
00:52:46.929 --> 00:52:50.269
stimulation of the vagus nerve. I don't know whether you
862
00:52:50.289 --> 00:52:52.449
use breath work or different things like that, but I'm
863
00:52:52.469 --> 00:52:55.789
just wondering what kind of practices you offer, your kind
864
00:52:55.829 --> 00:53:00.110
of body-mind practices do you offer your patients and clients,
865
00:53:00.170 --> 00:53:02.289
and whether you might be willing to lead us in
866
00:53:02.329 --> 00:53:03.510
a brief session or something.
867
00:53:04.179 --> 00:53:07.260
Yeah, with pleasure, with pleasure. So at the retreats I
868
00:53:07.300 --> 00:53:10.139
do in Sardinia and Kenya, where we do safaris and
869
00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:13.199
beach time together, or wherever it is in the world,
870
00:53:14.329 --> 00:53:16.260
I'll do a lot of emotional healing exercises and we'll
871
00:53:16.300 --> 00:53:19.860
lead you through one of those. But alternate nostril breathing,
872
00:53:20.500 --> 00:53:24.039
alternate nostril breathing, analome-vilome, very important for resetting the nervous system.
873
00:53:25.159 --> 00:53:27.039
And we'll do that first, then I'll show you an
874
00:53:27.179 --> 00:53:31.349
emotional healing exercise because it's a very powerful healing exercise.
875
00:53:31.849 --> 00:53:35.530
Many people, most of us, we resist our emotions. We
876
00:53:35.550 --> 00:53:37.329
don't want to feel jealous. We don't want to feel fear.
877
00:53:37.389 --> 00:53:39.969
We don't want to feel disappointed or exhausted. And so
878
00:53:40.010 --> 00:53:43.050
our mind takes over. And this exercise is also on
879
00:53:43.090 --> 00:53:46.590
my website. It allows you to really make love and
880
00:53:46.630 --> 00:53:50.829
embrace these difficult emotions that you don't want to feel.
881
00:53:51.449 --> 00:53:53.389
And when you start feeling them in a safe way,
882
00:53:53.750 --> 00:53:55.809
your whole body relaxes. You're like, oh my God, they're
883
00:53:55.829 --> 00:53:59.030
not so bad. Actually, this is my truth. And when
884
00:53:59.050 --> 00:54:02.429
I'm in my truth, I heal faster as well. Yeah.
885
00:54:03.230 --> 00:54:07.980
So very briefly, analom bilom, alternate nostril breathing. I'll just
886
00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:10.079
demonstrate it and then I'll lead you through the emotional
887
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:14.059
healing exercise, which I think is more pertinent for this conversation. Yeah.
888
00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:18.409
So unalong the loam, basically you, it's called alternate nostril
889
00:54:18.429 --> 00:54:21.030
breathing because how you do it is you block one nostril,
890
00:54:21.449 --> 00:54:23.769
you place your fingers on your forehead, you close your
891
00:54:23.849 --> 00:54:26.010
eyes and you concentrate on your third eye here. Yeah.
892
00:54:26.670 --> 00:54:29.380
And then you basically take an inhale from your left
893
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:39.469
nostril and switch fingers, close the left, and exhale through
894
00:54:39.489 --> 00:54:47.329
the right. Then inhale through the right. What was the right?
895
00:54:50.750 --> 00:54:59.659
Exhale through the left. So inhale, switch nostrils, hold your
896
00:54:59.679 --> 00:55:06.900
breath a bit, and then exhale. Inhale again, switch nostrils,
897
00:55:10.389 --> 00:55:17.369
exhale again. So it's in, switch nostril, exhale. Inhale, switch nostril, exhale.
898
00:55:18.469 --> 00:55:20.880
And I usually recommend doing this for about two to
899
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:25.300
three minutes, three to five times a day. And you
900
00:55:25.340 --> 00:55:43.739
can feel it as you do it. Inhale, switch, exhale. Inhale, switch, Exhale. Beautiful.
901
00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:47.110
And what that's doing, it's calming your nervous system, resetting
902
00:55:47.130 --> 00:55:50.949
your vagus nerve that we talked about. And when you
903
00:55:50.989 --> 00:55:53.489
reset your vagus nerve, of course, your gut, your liver,
904
00:55:53.630 --> 00:55:59.570
everything comes more into balance. So alternate nostril breathing. Extremely
905
00:55:59.610 --> 00:56:02.159
important to really calm your nervous system down and take
906
00:56:02.179 --> 00:56:09.119
your physiology to a transformative state of healing. Why I
907
00:56:09.179 --> 00:56:13.219
say transformative is because it's Really, it's not forced healing.
908
00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:17.940
It's a transformation towards a positive cycle rather than remaining
909
00:56:17.980 --> 00:56:19.780
in a negative loop of sickness.
910
00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:23.610
Well, I can attest to the power of alternate nostril breathing.
911
00:56:23.630 --> 00:56:25.630
I've done it a lot in my life over many years.
912
00:56:25.690 --> 00:56:27.789
And even doing it just now, I felt my entire
913
00:56:27.849 --> 00:56:31.110
nervous system just completely calm down, just doing it even
914
00:56:31.210 --> 00:56:35.940
for 30 seconds or so. So very powerful breath regulation tool.
915
00:56:36.480 --> 00:56:41.139
Mm-hmm. Then the other exercise I'd love to introduce you
916
00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:45.219
to is permission to heal or permission to feel exercise.
917
00:56:45.260 --> 00:56:48.570
So like I said, we're resisting our feelings, yeah? And
918
00:56:48.619 --> 00:56:52.429
so this exercise basically says, I get you to say
919
00:56:52.469 --> 00:56:55.389
to yourself, it's safe for me to feel exhausted from
920
00:56:55.449 --> 00:56:57.110
time to time, or it's safe for me to feel
921
00:56:57.250 --> 00:57:01.030
anxious or good or pleasure from time to time. So
922
00:57:01.050 --> 00:57:02.849
the important words to use at the end of the sentence,
923
00:57:03.769 --> 00:57:05.940
and this exercise is on my website as well, is
924
00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:09.320
the words from time to time. Because if I say
925
00:57:09.420 --> 00:57:12.980
it's safe to feel happy, it's almost like a forced
926
00:57:13.099 --> 00:57:16.659
affirmation or safe to feel anxious. I'm kind of trying
927
00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:19.480
to convince myself, but I'm not convinced. But if I
928
00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:23.809
say from time to time, I'm allowing myself to experience
929
00:57:24.289 --> 00:57:26.090
and not experience at the same time. So I give
930
00:57:26.150 --> 00:57:30.550
my nervous system, my mindset, my perception choice. And whenever
931
00:57:30.590 --> 00:57:33.690
there's choice, the body takes over. And when the body
932
00:57:33.710 --> 00:57:38.690
takes over, it naturally goes into a healing state. So
933
00:57:38.730 --> 00:57:41.000
let's try that if you're open to it. So I
934
00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:44.639
invite you to put whatever phones, et cetera, on the
935
00:57:44.840 --> 00:57:48.320
couches or wherever. Make sure you're not driving or doing
936
00:57:48.360 --> 00:57:53.920
anything dangerous. Take a deep breath in and out. And
937
00:57:53.960 --> 00:57:55.519
you can put one hand on your belly and one
938
00:57:55.539 --> 00:57:57.780
hand on your heart or even one hand on your
939
00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:04.329
forehead if you want. I often say one hand on
940
00:58:04.349 --> 00:58:06.360
your forehead and one hand behind your head as well.
941
00:58:06.420 --> 00:58:09.119
That actually connects the brain hemispheres and makes this exercise
942
00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:14.480
more powerful. And then notice the feelings you're feeling. So
943
00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:17.989
I'm just gonna walk you through some sentences and you
944
00:58:18.010 --> 00:58:20.630
can replace the words I'm using with the own emotions
945
00:58:20.650 --> 00:58:25.510
you're feeling, okay? So let us begin. Deep breath in
946
00:58:27.610 --> 00:58:31.550
and relax and out. And then just connect to whatever
947
00:58:31.590 --> 00:58:33.909
you feel in your heart and you can begin. You
948
00:58:33.949 --> 00:58:37.789
can whisper it or say it out loud. It's safe
949
00:58:37.849 --> 00:58:47.489
for me to relax once in a while. And just
950
00:58:47.530 --> 00:58:49.570
feel how that feels to say once in a while.
951
00:58:51.230 --> 00:58:57.000
So you're not forcing relaxation. You're just exploring the possibility
952
00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:02.300
of it from time to time. So once in a while,
953
00:59:02.420 --> 00:59:07.010
from time to time, it's safe for me to let
954
00:59:07.030 --> 00:59:20.239
go of my thoughts, or my sensations once in a while. Beautiful.
955
00:59:20.639 --> 00:59:28.219
And notice how you feel. Good. It's safe for me
956
00:59:28.559 --> 00:59:35.659
to be ready from time to time. And just notice
957
00:59:35.699 --> 00:59:39.119
what that feels like. I'm not asking you to be ready.
958
00:59:39.139 --> 00:59:41.519
I'm not forcing you. It's just safe to be ready
959
00:59:41.639 --> 00:59:44.280
once in a while. You don't have to stay there
960
00:59:44.320 --> 00:59:49.889
all the time. Beautiful. Exactly. Notice what kind of permission
961
00:59:49.929 --> 00:59:53.389
your whole body, your physiology gets when you just allow
962
00:59:53.469 --> 00:59:57.829
it some permission. And then you can say, it's safe
963
00:59:57.869 --> 01:00:04.139
for me to collapse or be exhausted from time to
964
01:00:04.199 --> 01:00:11.780
time or once in a while. And notice what happens there.
965
01:00:13.610 --> 01:00:17.269
You don't have to force exhaustion. You don't have to
966
01:00:17.309 --> 01:00:25.849
force alertness. All is okay. It's safe for me to
967
01:00:25.929 --> 01:00:30.719
relax and maybe push people away or, I don't know,
968
01:00:30.739 --> 01:00:37.159
let go of stress or people's energy from time to time.
969
01:00:37.179 --> 01:00:44.539
And so put your own words there. So in my
970
01:00:44.579 --> 01:00:47.119
books and online course, I give more specific examples, but
971
01:00:47.179 --> 01:00:49.980
just feel what is true for you in this moment.
972
01:00:52.929 --> 01:00:55.920
And I'll just give you a couple of minutes in
973
01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:58.500
silence for you to continue the sentences in your own
974
01:00:58.579 --> 01:01:03.340
pace and just notice how it feels. You can think them,
975
01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:19.190
explore whispering or saying it aloud. Loudly, just feel the permission.
976
01:01:21.949 --> 01:01:28.170
No shoulds, no judgment about your emotions, your beliefs. You
977
01:01:28.210 --> 01:01:30.650
can even say it's safe to feel angry from time
978
01:01:30.710 --> 01:01:35.070
to time or jealous of my cousin or my friend
979
01:01:35.090 --> 01:01:39.289
or whatever once in a while. Give yourself permission to
980
01:01:39.349 --> 01:01:45.409
explore the entire spectrum of human experience. You are allowed
981
01:01:45.630 --> 01:01:54.940
today and forever. Excellent. Take a deep breath in and out.
982
01:01:55.460 --> 01:01:59.639
Let it go at the exploration and the experiment. Just
983
01:01:59.659 --> 01:02:02.300
let it go. And I invite you to just come
984
01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:06.280
back to the screen to fleet in me and just
985
01:02:06.340 --> 01:02:09.760
enjoy the rest of this interview. Thank you.
986
01:02:12.739 --> 01:02:17.269
Beautiful. Wow. It was really amazing how just that expression
987
01:02:17.309 --> 01:02:19.309
of from time to time or once in a while.
988
01:02:21.409 --> 01:02:26.030
I just felt myself immediately relaxing into a very receptive
989
01:02:26.889 --> 01:02:30.769
state and just that sense of allowing, of giving permission,
990
01:02:30.949 --> 01:02:31.860
really powerful.
991
01:02:33.090 --> 01:02:35.960
I feel your heart right now. Your voice has changed.
992
01:02:36.139 --> 01:02:39.360
The whole vibration has shifted in the entire room. That's beautiful.
993
01:02:39.679 --> 01:02:40.239
Thank you, Fleet.
994
01:02:40.880 --> 01:02:44.000
Wonderful. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
995
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:46.460
So I know you.
996
01:02:48.610 --> 01:02:51.030
You have retreats that you offer in Africa. You have
997
01:02:51.070 --> 01:02:54.010
retreats you do in Europe. You have courses online on
998
01:02:54.050 --> 01:02:56.510
your website. How can people find out more about your
999
01:02:56.550 --> 01:02:58.789
work if they would like to explore it further with you?
1000
01:02:58.809 --> 01:03:02.690
So there's free videos on gut healing, liver detox, and
1001
01:03:02.730 --> 01:03:06.750
a lot of masterclasses on combining homeopathy, constellation work, trauma healing,
1002
01:03:07.469 --> 01:03:13.820
gut healing, all these things on my website, DrRameet.com. That's D-R-A-M-E-E-T.com.
1003
01:03:14.980 --> 01:03:19.610
And the retreats are there. If there's enough people inviting
1004
01:03:19.630 --> 01:03:22.650
me to Costa Rica or the US or wherever, I'm open. Yeah.
1005
01:03:23.269 --> 01:03:25.530
I love bringing this work to different parts of the world.
1006
01:03:26.130 --> 01:03:28.739
I live in Kenya. So if you're interested in Kenya...
1007
01:03:29.210 --> 01:03:31.849
Of course, you can combine safari and beach time and
1008
01:03:31.909 --> 01:03:37.530
experience deep inner transformation in really Africa. And Africa, if
1009
01:03:37.710 --> 01:03:40.750
you believe the theory, you know, mankind started here and
1010
01:03:40.789 --> 01:03:43.230
you can feel the energy, right? You feel the energy.
1011
01:03:43.250 --> 01:03:46.730
When you heal in nature in Africa, something else transforms
1012
01:03:46.869 --> 01:03:49.469
deep in your nervous system. And then often I do
1013
01:03:49.510 --> 01:03:53.760
it in Europe, usually the Mediterranean islands like Sardinia and Greece,
1014
01:03:54.099 --> 01:03:57.960
because it's halfway for anyone in America to come over
1015
01:03:58.380 --> 01:04:00.340
and me from Kenya to come over. So it's a
1016
01:04:00.380 --> 01:04:02.980
nice meeting point. And there's beautiful beaches there as well.
1017
01:04:03.900 --> 01:04:06.920
Healthy food. And Sardinia is one of the blue zones
1018
01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:09.800
of the world, right? And so the energy there is
1019
01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:16.269
also super powerful. So it's drameet.com, D-R-A-M-E-E-T.com. I really invite
1020
01:04:16.289 --> 01:04:18.610
you to Kenya. It'll be a pleasure to have you here.
1021
01:04:18.820 --> 01:04:23.179
Of course, a dream. And of course, Europe is also fantastic.
1022
01:04:23.829 --> 01:04:27.070
And then watch the free videos on my website. And
1023
01:04:27.090 --> 01:04:31.070
there's also full courses in holistic medicine available, homeopathy, family
1024
01:04:31.110 --> 01:04:34.670
constellations therapy. They're all out there. Yeah. And if you
1025
01:04:34.690 --> 01:04:39.590
need continuing education credits, we're working on that. Just go
1026
01:04:39.630 --> 01:04:42.210
through the courses and I'll take you to another level
1027
01:04:42.250 --> 01:04:45.889
of healing. So really enjoy that experience as well.
1028
01:04:47.489 --> 01:04:51.210
Wonderful. I would love to visit Kenya someday. I have
1029
01:04:51.530 --> 01:04:54.570
been to Africa twice, to Rwanda both times. And I
1030
01:04:54.590 --> 01:04:59.190
was there doing genocide prevention work, peace work. But I
1031
01:04:59.230 --> 01:05:01.570
did on one of the trips, I didn't get up
1032
01:05:01.650 --> 01:05:03.690
and to see the gorillas. I really wanted to do that,
1033
01:05:03.730 --> 01:05:05.429
never managed to do it. But I did get out
1034
01:05:05.469 --> 01:05:08.550
to a national park on the border with Tanzania, which is,
1035
01:05:08.670 --> 01:05:11.730
I don't think, far from Kenya and in that area.
1036
01:05:11.889 --> 01:05:15.289
And we we spent. uh, 12 hours in a Land
1037
01:05:15.329 --> 01:05:18.869
Rover out in this park and saw just, it was amazing. Uh,
1038
01:05:18.909 --> 01:05:22.699
what we saw with the Cape Buffalo and the giraffes and, and, uh,
1039
01:05:22.780 --> 01:05:25.599
it was just amazing, an amazing experience. So I would
1040
01:05:25.619 --> 01:05:28.239
love to get to Kenya someday. Thank you so much
1041
01:05:28.380 --> 01:05:32.579
for your work, Amit, and, uh, for this, uh, incredible conversation.
1042
01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:34.840
There's so much there. I really encourage people to check
1043
01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:39.420
out your work online, um, because, uh, you know, we're all, um,
1044
01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:44.809
We're all exposed to so much. We all have whatever
1045
01:05:44.869 --> 01:05:47.150
trauma we have in our backgrounds, but we're exposed to
1046
01:05:47.230 --> 01:05:51.900
so much trauma and so much disconcerting information. And there's
1047
01:05:51.940 --> 01:05:54.579
just so much uncertainty in the pace of change is
1048
01:05:54.599 --> 01:05:56.989
so much. We really have to take care of ourselves.
1049
01:05:57.050 --> 01:06:00.880
I mean, good self-care is not a luxury or an
1050
01:06:01.010 --> 01:06:03.840
option anymore. It's really something that we really need to
1051
01:06:03.860 --> 01:06:07.400
focus on. And you offer so many modalities to begin
1052
01:06:07.440 --> 01:06:10.059
to understand our own bodies and minds at a deeper
1053
01:06:10.099 --> 01:06:13.739
level and really with more precision, do the things and
1054
01:06:13.780 --> 01:06:16.599
get the support that will get us into that virtuous cycle.
1055
01:06:16.980 --> 01:06:20.179
where the natural beauty of our mind and body can
1056
01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:23.340
take over and get us in a kind of positive
1057
01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:26.070
momentum with our health and well-being. So thank you so
1058
