What we all need is energy!  It all comes down to the quality and quantity of the energy that you have and are expressing.   In this episode I invited Nathan Walz to help clarify this topic and help you to regain energy simply by being in nature and restoring your Circadian Rhythm to the biological diurnal cycle of nature that follows the sun or light.   Do you experience any of the following:1.  Poor sleep; insomnia, restless, waking up flat and fatigued2.  Metabolic distress and disorders, digestion, insulin resistance, cancer3.  Weakened immune system 4.  Inflammatory disease5. Low Vitamin D status6. Psychological distress, mood swings, memory loss, and impaired brain function7. Profound decrease in energy8. Accelerated aging9. Loss of connection, feeling isolated, lonely, depression10.  Increased levels of cortisol - the stress hormone Listen into this episode all the way to the end as we navigate through Nathan sharing how he lost his health and wellbeing and took it back by learning how to reset his inner biological clock to the Circadian Rhythm of nature. As I mention all the time, in order to live disease free, you must learn to live more in accordance with Nature's Law and your true authentic nature as a Child of God - the author and creator of your life experiences.  Some helpful links:Nathan Walz:  www.journeytooptimalheath.comMitochondria 101 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=034izGVU1Yk&t=1781sMitochondria short article https://journeytooptimalhealth.com/mitochondria-101-mitochondrial-health-and-disease/Resources:Near Infrared Sauna https://sauna.space/productsBlue Light Glasses https://raoptics.com/Smart Wake up Light Alarm Clock https://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/HF3531_60/wake-up-light/overviewFor more information about Optimal Life and Wellness Coaching with Dan Hegerichwww.danhegerich.com or [email protected], if you enjoyed the podcast consider sharing the link with all your friends and loved ones.  And of course subscribe to the podcast to be informed of all future episodes.Power and Grace, Dan

This is possibly my best podcast to date! I invited my first guest onto this episode to dive into the topic at hand: Are you Living to Die or Dying to Live? Are you Living to Die? Are you Living out your Issues? Are you running away from your pain and suffering only to realize it the pain and suffering keeps chasing you? The way of the EGO enslaving the Soul to the only material existence Or Are you Dying to Live? Are you working out your issues? Are you stopping to be still and silent enough to listen to your pain and face your suffering? The way of the SOUL liberating our deepest Being beyond material existence In this episode, I invited an old student of many years ago to come on and share his hard earned wisdom while in the trenches of transformation and turning his live and love 180 degrees around. Michael Govoni is the founder of the podcast and program Healing Beyond Recover as he guides, supports, and loves others to awaken and transcend addictions, childhood traumas, and further assist them to make the fundamental changes to their eating and lifestyle to improve the health of their gut/brain connection and many more skill sets and tools to offer someone in recovery looking for deeper more meaningful everylasting transformations in their lives. Here is Mike's website for more information https://www.mikegovoni.com/ Thick Nhat Hahn on suffering “In modern society most of us don’t want to be in touch with ourselves; we want to be in touch with other things like religion, sports, politics, a book – we want to forget ourselves. Anytime we have leisure, we want to invite something else to enter us, opening ourselves to the television and telling the television to come and colonize us.” And “Suffering is not enough. Life is both dreadful and wonderful…How can I smile when I am filled with so much sorrow? It is natural–you need to smile to your sorrow because you are more than your sorrow.” Thank you for taking valuable time to watch and listen as Michael and I enter the Podcast Sandbox and follow the creative spirit to discussing and sharing how we turned our suffering into the path of personal empowerment, the path of self-mastery, and the path to love and peace.

I have come to learn recently that there are two main pathways to happiness - The Hedonic Pathway chasing pleasure and enjoyment while avoiding pain and the Eudaimonic Pathway seeking purpose and meaning through living with virtue. In this episode I attempt to speak to your pain recognizing that you feel trapped in the Hedonic pathway which is causing you suffering in chronic illness, chronic pain, emotional madness, and perhaps caught in a spiritual crisis of identity. The Hedonic Pathway to happiness is fleeting never truly satisfying our Soul. Therefore, pleasure leads to addiction and pain leads to aversion. If you maintain an identity within this pathway then happiness is only found in the people, places and things of this world. Something outside of you makes you happy. You are essentially needing immediate gratification as your 'source' of happiness. Eventually you will feel empty "masturbating with life" and look to fill that emptiness with more Hedonic pleasure thinking more will silence the empty feeling. It doesn't and you don't feel more happiness inside. You have "sold your soul to the devil" It also speaks loudly to the Lord's Prayer Our Father - where it ends with "...and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen." The Eudaimonic Pathway to happiness is eternal because it satisfies the Soul within. It establishes a connection to the source of life and the source of love within oneself. It is not necessarily free from fears or pain, yet it is freedom from suffering as you navigate within yourself, cultivating your true heart to transcend the suffering. Both pathways express the Eastern Philosophy of Karma ~ " What you sow you reap." In Daniel Goldstein's 2011 Ted Talk "The Battle Between Your Present and Future Self" He quotes N.W. Senior as saying "To Obstain from the enjoyment which is in our power, or seek distant rather than immediate results, are among the most painful exertions of the human will." And so living with virtue means cultivating and practicing virtues of Self Mastery, Wisdom, Courage, Love, Hope, Gratitude, Curiosity and Zest. Through which one 'makes love to life' and fill their life with purpose and meaning. To Be and Become the Change in the world you want to see in the world is another quote from Gandhi that hits the Eudaimonic Happiness Pathway bullseye.

For thousands of years, All great Saints, Guru's, Great Grandmasters, Sages, and Accended Masters have all expressed that Stillness and Silence is the way to a successful life in health, wealth and love in relationship to self, God, others and all of life. Taking time to slow down and 'smell the roses' is one thing and slowing down to connect with your true self is another. In the book Stillness is the Key, author Ryan Holiday offers short dialogues as a reminder of how important Stillness and Silence is necessary on the path to wholeness, wisdom, contentment, creativity and everything in between that makes our human experience worth living. Eckhart Tole also drives it home in all of his work - The Power of Now - in order to enter the present moment more deeply and profoundly by letting go of running away from your past and stop chasing your imagined future. Be present so that your true essence can not only be realized but also embodies. Have a listen to this short youtube video/audio of Eckhart Tole's wisdom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH7kX4wnpq4 For one on one Coaching you can connect with me through this link https://www.danhegerich.com/contact-dan Thank you for listening and if you found a nugget or pearl of wisdom or inspiration, please share it.

Do The C.U.R.E. is learning how to play win the game of life by learning to win at love. To do so it is reasonable to consider that Self -Love is the first play in the playbook to master. In this episode I closed my eyes and just went for it capturing my conscious thoughts as they appeared. Although I have had these thoughts many times, I felt inspired today to put them into play! It is my hope that you will find a golden nugget or two that you can put into the heart of your jewlery box - and nourish it to abundant feelings of self - love and share it with others and the world. Many great songs and poems have been written about Love and I have embrace Love is the Purpose for living. To Be Love rather than need to be loved. Power and Grace, Dan.

Intermittent and extended water fasting has a great deal of momentum on the internet and I wanted to share with you some of the concepts to consider exploring in your life to gain the benefits associated with such strategies to improve your vitality and overall wellbeing. I share four books and authors that you can search on the internet and especiall youtube as they all have a stong presence on social media outlets. First some concepts Intermittent Fasting is Eating Less Often and giving your body a shorter window of consuming caloric foods and a longer period of rest and digest. An example would be to consume food and caloric beveraes within an 6, 8 or 10 hour period leaving 18, 16 or 14 hours for you digestive system to rest. Intermittent fasting is the beginning of Metabolic Rehabilitation to restore your metabolism to burn and efficiently utilize Ketones (a by product of burning fat) as a fuel source; especially prefered by the Brain and Heart Diet Variation: Once adapted to fat burning and utilizing Ketone we may want to mix up our diet variation with a fasting and feasting cycle. We may have an intermittent cycle of 6 hours of feeding and 18hours of fasting 3x per week, 2 feast days where we consume a little more carbohydrates of more protein and say two days of 1 meal only or a 24 hour fasting day. Remember this is an artistic practice and you can play around with this concept. Extended water fasting is ideally consuming water only for 3,5 , 7, or more days with 5 being scientifically accepted as the best amount of days to shoot for especially for beginners. Also, it would be wise to fat adapted before venturing into the extended water fast and therefore, practicing intermittent fasting for 5, 6 or more weeks. To help you know if you are becoming fat adapted it is necessary to measure blood glucose levels and ketone levels. I use a keto-mojo for this purpose. During my fast this week I measured BG -81 and Ketones - 3.0 with a Keto Index of 1,5 which is a deep state of autophagy or nutritional ketosis. Extended water fasting has three phases The preparatory phase - get you mind right, get your home and environment right and get your support right The fasting phase - listen to your body and mind. You may need to make some modifications so you can roll with this and not create a huge stressful event where you will yourself through it in pride. The goal is practice not perfection The post phase - very important as to not consume lots of food or carbohydrates or sugars! This could be a disaster leading you to be really sick. It is all about metabolic rehabilitation and down regulating leptin and insulin surges thus blood sugar control, increasing insulin sensitivity, down regulating inflammation, improving gut and immune system function, anti-aging, and numerous other benefits. If you find that you have difficulty with either intermittent fasting or extended water fasting consider you might have high levels of stored cellular toxicity. And this may need to be addressed along the way.
