Sexual Dysfunction and Filmmaking with Aaron Canada
Award winning filmmaker, Aaron Canada, joins me for a discussion about the increasing number of men and women facing sexual health challenges in the 21st Century.  His film, “Let’s Talk About It,” is a short documentary that explores the prevalence of erectile dysfunction.  A long time sufferer of ED, himself, Aaron wanted to make a film to get people talking about this important subject because there was little public discussion happening on the topic.  He wanted to help take some of the stigma away from having ED, and also show other men who were suffering from it that they weren't alone.  The short film was met with overwhelmingly positive feedback by filmmakers, sexual health professionals, and both men suffering from ED, and their partners, from around the world.  Further pushing the envelope to tackle a topic that is often silenced by feelings of shame, Aaron felt compelled to embark on the broader topic of sexual dysfunction of all types affecting both men and women.  His currently in production feature length film “Sexual Dysfunction: A Love Story” intimately follows the stories of three young individuals met with the struggles of sexual health that are so commonplace in modern cultures.  He hopes that the film will ignite an open dialog that helps those living with sexual health challenges know that they are not alone and provide an arena for identifying and creating solutions to help improve sexual and overall health and wellbeing.

Conscious Healing Through Ayurvedic Medicine, Quantum Mechanics, and Meditation with Alan Steinberg
Internal medicine physician and author, Alan Steinberg, joins me in a dialog on the role of meditation in facilitating whole person wellness and integrative, mind-body medicine.  Alan is a practicing primary care physician for Cedars-Sinai Medical Group in Beverly Hills. His first book was a non-fiction consumer’s guide, The Insider’s Guide to HMOs. It was well received and helped sway the direction health care was heading in the late nineties. His most recent book is To Be Enlightened, a novel best described as a work of visionary fiction that has received glowing reviews and provides modern illumination on Vedic philosophy and the religious roots of meditation.  Dr. Steinberg, himself, is an avid meditator and began practicing transcendental meditation in 1975.  He explores the science and philosophy behind meditation as a tool for cultivating mental, physical, and spiritual health.Dr. Steinberg’s work can be found online at alanjsteinberg.com and he also writes a blog for PsychologyToday.com called The Meditating Mind which lends itself to examining how Eastern philosophy on meditation fits into the modern structure of Western medicine.

Holistic Nutrition for Sexual and Reproductive Health with Sally Fallon Morell
I’m joined on this episode by Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation and author of the best-selling cookbook, Nourishing Traditions®: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats. Much of Sally’s career has been dedicated dispelling food myths most notably that animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels.Sally joins me for nuanced conversation on the role of nutrition in cultivating sexual and reproductive health in a world of increasing infertility rates and struggling sexuality.  She explores the roles of traditional diets and practices in the promotion of all aspects of health and how our sexual and reproductive health struggles may actually be early warning signs of larger health problems ahead.    You can follow Sally and the wonderful work of the Weston A. Price Foundation at https://www.westonaprice.org/ and the Wise Traditions Conference at https://www.wisetraditions.org/ .

Reigniting Scientific Inquiry and Challenging Germ Theory with Dr. Andrew Kaufman
Andrew Kaufman MD joins me on this episode for a conversation exploring the origins of disease and the future of medicine.  Dr. Andy is a public speaker, researcher, natural healing, business, education consultant, inventor and Covid-19 whistleblower. Dr. Andy has a B.S. from M.I.T. in Molecular Biology and completed his psychiatric training at Duke University Medical Center after graduating from the Medical University of South Carolina. He spent many years in the medical field and practiced as a forensic psychiatrist and expert witness.  Andy gave up his lucrative medical career and began researching and understanding the relationship between body, mind, and spirit, and how to use Nature to heal your own body when he learned that many of our modern medical practices do more to harm health than facilitate healing. Dr. Andy’s new practice is spreading truth about the world we live in today and fighting for freedom. He teaches people the vital knowledge that they need to implement true Care for themselves and their families at the highest level of Consciousness. He now teaches people how to become their own Health Authority.Andy joins me for a provocative conversation on the nature of disease and disrupting the status quo as we move forward with the advancement of medicine in the twenty-first century.https://andrewkaufmanmd.com/

Reframing the Cancer Conversation and Metabolic Healing with Mark Sloan
Bestselling Author and medical researcher, Mark Sloan, joins me for a conversation about the challenges of the modern medical system and solutions available to avoid becoming a statistic of status quo protocols that not only do not work, but often create more problems than they aim to address.  After losing his mother to cancer treatment at the age of 12, many years later Mark has now dedicated his life to being a conduit for patient education and empowerment.  Mark brings renegade therapies including red light therapy, balneotherapy, and a not so well-known drug called methylene blue centerstage and reveals how solutions that fall outside of the overpriced pharmaceutical patent system may be the way forward and around a medical system that is too broken to fix.  Mark’s research focuses on metabolic dysfunction as the true nature of disease as he explores solutions that address upregulating energy metabolism within the cells of the body rather than chasing symptoms with toxic chemicals and often unnecessary surgeries that do not address the root cause of disease.End All Diseasehttps://www.endalldisease.com/

Root Cause Healing and Patient Empowered Medicine through Filmmaking with Frazer Bailey
Award winning Australian documentary filmmaker, Frazer Bailey, joins me in this episode for a personal and in-depth conversation on root cause healing that explores holistic dentistry, emotions, and the mind-body/body-mind connection. Frazer produced two exceptional films partially based on his own health journey to find answers to his chronic disease symptoms.  Root Cause explores the hidden dangers of the root canal procedure along with other toxic dental procedures and conditions that came into practice in modern times and E-motion 2.0 explores the role of the mind-body/body-mind connection in the creation of disease.  Both films feature expert interviews with industry leaders in holistic dentistry, integrative medicine, psychology and mind-body healing practitioners.Frazer and I explore concepts closely related to one of my favorite words, psychoneuroimmunoendocrinology, as we navigate the finely woven interplay of body and mind to examine how root cause healing really does require a holistic philosophy that honors the mind’s impact on our biology and physiology as well as our body’s influence on the mind.  The mind, nervous system, immune system, endocrine system, and I’ll even add the digestive system are intricately connected.  Ignoring any component of the whole paints an incomplete picture where true healing cannot be accomplished.Join our conversation for a journey into cutting edge, root cause healing modalities and expanding the toolbox for deeper levels of healing that transcend mechanical, physical-only treatments.Root Cause MovieE-Motion 2.0 MovieOne Radio Network

Information Medicine and Infoceuticals with Anton Fedorenko
The past century has been marked by the dominance of (mostly) patentable biochemicals for the purpose of altering chemistry and function inside the human body.  We are now, however, fully present in the information age.  As such, our approach to medicine in the twenty-first century is also rapidly changing.  We have seen the way information can transform communicaion, transportation, commerce, and economics.  Now we are being introduced to a new era of medicine which may be defined by our ability to bypass the mechanical structures of the body and apply healing mechanisms via information or energy information.In this episode of the Body Literacy Podcast, Anton Fedorenko, the founder of Infopathy, ignites a conversation about his technology that imprints water with the energetic signatures of chemical compounds and also employs the use of PEMF technology.  The technology can be used to imprint water with anything from vitamins to pharmaceuticals.I was skeptical at first, but after taking the Infopathy technology for a test ride for a few months, I'm convinced there may be something to it and, certainly, it may have serious positive implications for the direction we are moving towards in a paradigm shift in Western Medicine.Anton Fedorenko received his Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics and Mathematics and Masters of Science in Innovation and High Technologies from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. For 10 years, Anton has been involved with several water-related projects wherein he not only conducted fundamental research but also developed water-related products and web-based platforms. From 2013 to 2017 he was a member of the organizing committee for the annual Water Conference on the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology of Water.   In 2018 Anton founded the Canadian based AshNu Technologies Inc. and is currently developing two platforms: Infopathy and AquaPsy. Infopathy allows users to transfer the energetic signatures of infoceuticals , or ICs for short, for health, cosmetic, veterinary, and gardening purposes anytime and anywhere and introduces the concept of information medicine to curious users who are interested in stepping beyond the confines patent-driven biochemical medicine.AquaPsy takes consciousness research to a whole new level – through AquaPsy, people from around the world can be connected remotely to water-based sensors, which can detect and evaluate influences caused by non-local mind effects.  Both of these platforms help one rediscover themselves from the Quantum View.InfopathyAquaPsyWater Conference on the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology of Water
