Episode 221: The Dark Side of Keto? Jillian Michaels Debunk & 2020 Reflections

Have you seen the most recent Jillian Michaels video demonizing the keto diet? Yep, she’s at it again, throwing keto under the bus with her pseudosciency buzzwords!

Episode 219: DIVOC updates, long haulers, and censorship

Here we are 1 year in and we know a lot more than we did from our last official coverage in February. In this episode we cover updates on masks, disinfectants, and lockdowns, as well as new studies demonstrating lack of efficacy and serious concerns. We also unpack the stats on death toll noting this year there has been no increase in total death count when comparing to prior years sharing the work of John Hopins research demonstrating a reclassification of deaths vs. deaths caused by coronavirus. Beyond classification of deaths, we cover the faulty testing being used to drive the case count.

 

This episode ensures you are empowered with the connection of susceptibility + infection = disease. The infection or exposure alone may not be significant as updated data demonstrates. However, the restrictions continue to tighten and threats loom into 2022?!? We question the narrative and call out medical incongruency with policy as well as cover food-as-medicine and supplement support.

 

Have you been infected with COVID? We cover the mechanisms of long-haulers and how to support the body in successfully resetting following exposure to rebound energy, reduce inflammation, and regain mental health. Also in this episode we discuss the roles of the medical industrial complex and how facts and clinical information that can serve the public is being blocked and deleted. Learn how you can support your body and be proactive in not just surviving but living your life to the fullest!

It is thought that our consciousness can be broken down into masculine and feminine and that both are necessary for achieving our creative potential. Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss channeling the divine feminine and break down the importance of creativity, tuning into your intuition, creating community and exploring sensuality. 

 

In this episode, Ali and Becki go deep on femininity and how to connect to your most authentic intuitive self which often means dissociating from the fear-centered amygdala of the brain and getting grounded to feel your way. Learn how connecting to the earth and channeling your inner goddess can support overall wellbeing, how exploring sensuality can help you get back into your body and the importance of movement as medicine. Plus get tips for bringing some feminine energy into your life and household from why you should do hip circles to burning incense to owning a plant and more!
