Properly used essential oils can powerfully rebalance your body and mind. Just getting a basic understanding is half the battle. Which oils are best, how much should you use, how often, etc. So we distilled everything you should know about essential oils into this one episode.
Meet our guest
Jodi Cohen is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist, and founder of Vibrant Blue Oils, a top resource for essential oils online. After personally experiencing the profound physical and mental benefits of essential oils in addressing her own anxiety, insomnia, and autoimmunity, Jodi wanted to know why.

The ”Sober Psychedelic” Buzz That Regenerates Your Body, Mind, & Spirit
Wednesday Jun 15, 2022
Wednesday Jun 15, 2022
In my quest to find awesome alcohol alternatives that still make you feel great [https://outliyr.com/healthy-booze-alternatives-buzzed], I came across an ancient elixir called kava. I tried a cheap kava kava supplement and was unimpressed. A while later, I tried real kava. And in comparison, it knocked my socks off. So I brought on an expert to explain the difference, the science of kava, and what makes this such a prized plant.
Meet our guest

Since discovering the amazing effects of traditional Kava during his own chronic illness, Cameron spent years investigating Kava and has collaborated with many of the most prominent experts in the world within the fields of Kava research and historical Kava use.
TRU KAVA is focused on developing scalable user-friendly products that deliver the full therapeutic action of the traditional kava drink, which is the only form that has been highly prized in the South Pacific Islands for over 3000 years. Cameron has spent years working within a network of functional medicine physicians with whom he has been involved in clinical research and protocol development for Neurodegenerative and trauma-related conditions.

The body runs on chemicals and electricity. But it runs mostly on electricity (up to 80% by some estimates). The easy, safe, and effective low-hanging healing therapy, is rebalancing our bioenergy. Along with Ozone, this technology would be among the first things I'd turn to if I had virtually any condition or injury.
Meet our guest
Dr. Bob Dennis did original research work for NASA in 1996 on PEMF. He suffered a serious lower back injury as a firefighter in 2006. No mainstream medical options helped him (including oxycodone), so he modified his original work from NASA on PEMF into a portable PEMF device and it completely eliminated his pain. So it became his life's calling: to help people with serious debilitating pain who have no other options.

I'm always seeking things with an asymmetrical potential risk to reward. Certain tools, protocols, and tips actually work better than the standard of care, and with virtually zero downsides. Such is the case with ozone therapy. If I—or a loved one—come down with any condition, the first thing I'll do is look to see if ozone can help. Oftentimes, it can. That's what we're exploring in today's episode.
Meet our guest
Micah Lowe is one of the world's leading educators on the medicinal power of ozone therapy. He's also the owner of the ozone equipment company, Simply O3.
His journey began in high school when he helped his dad develop equipment for Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (an effective therapy for infectious diseases and also chronic disease). A few years later, he dropped out of nursing school and quit working in an ambulance. In 2014, he started developing equipment for ozone therapy because there was a need for a less expensive, stable unit that people could use at home. Ozone therapy had a synergistic effect to UBI, so it was a good fit for him because he understood it well.
Ozone therapy has been used since the 1920s, but Micah and SimplyO3 improved and modernized the equipment. Ozone Therapy became widely popular and the business took off after getting recognition from Harvard Medical by Dr. Michael Hamblin.

Whether you're looking to quit smoking naturally, get the athletic edge to crush your sports, stay alert through demanding workdays, or boost your memory for important occasions... the right essential oils can help.
For most of my life, I considered essential oils a scam. Only after burning my tongue on pure oregano oil did I give them a shot.
You also need a way to administer them. Typical diffusers scent the air but waste expensive oils and don't provide much therapeutic value. I discovered Füm's aromatherapy "pipe", and I never looked back.
Meet our guest
Adam McNeil is a book-nerd, marketer, and a challenger. He has a deep passion for stepping into messes beyond his capabilities and walking out stronger and better equipped to serve. Today, he works with the team at Füm determined to put an end to tobacco addiction and also create empowering positive habits. In his free time, he professionally competes in a traditional Japanese game, "Kendama," and hosts the podcast "The Brewview".
