Podcast - Audio and Video records
My effort to share the things I’ve learned about life, health, emotion, meditation, intent, nature, nutrition; and conversations with others
Podcast 1 - Intro and Intentions
The goal of this podcast is to share experience of the tools Ive tried, used, and shared with others to improve health. Everyone is different and the goal here is to identify things that Ive found that worked, or others have used to help themselves too. Some will be me solo, and some will have guests as I travel around and find interesting people to talk to.
- Also basic food advice from my experience
Podcast 2 - 5 Food Groups that I avoid (6/15/2024)
I have tried a lot of things throughout my healing journey to help maintain a healthy appearance, feel better, think better, and get more things done.
The 5 food groups that I avoid and look the way I do with minimal effort:
1. Industrial Seed Oils (Anything except Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, and Animal fats - Ghee, Lard, Bacon Fat)
2. American Pasteurized Diary - raw dairy is fine
3. Alcohol - other than the small amounts in Kombucha
4. Refined Sugars - I eat fruit, I just don't eat unspecified "sugars" because there is no way to know: A. how did they refine the sugar B. What plant it came from
5. Gluten and American Hybridized wheat
Podcast Episode 3 - Wim Hof Method interview with Tate
A little while back took a trip to Colorado for my first Wim Hof method experience I I met Tate online and he was my first official experience with the Wim Hof method. His life story, it's interesting. It has similarities to the reasons I approached this method as well. We were overlooking a reservoir in Colorado while we were recording this and it was a lovely experience. Take some time to hear some Reasons. Some justification, some experiences. That's why another person decided to breathe and meditate and use cold as therapy for themselves as well.
BLT Episode 4 Intro to Ice Baths and how they've helped me
Ice baths are an amazing tool, with many different avenues to help the body. After I started this therapy, I became a Wim Hof method, certified instructor and did a lot of experimentation in working to create the method that I use today. I'm so inspired by this method that I started teaching this and sharing it with others. I'm hoping this podcast will help you be inspired as well. I've used ice baths personally to help manage symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression and all sorts of other emotional and physical issues. One of the primary issues I've helped with this is chronic pain and confidence. There are a few primary things that this therapy helps me with. That's how boost my circulation has helped lower my inflammation. And help lower my pain levels, so I can get get moving in the day and be a more productive person. https://www.breathelivethrive.com/blog/90-day-ice-bath-challenge Id love to teach you too.
BLT Podcast Episode 4.5 My longest Ice Bath so far 33 Minutes
On this video I took about a year ago is a 33 minute ice bath. I speak about the feelings as well as a lot of the benefits that I have obtained from doing ice baths. Cold Plunges and cold water help change my genetics to help me free myself from my programming from my life and the things I was taught. Things like cold will get me sick, things like doing hard things are for other people while I should try to do easy things to live the ideal easy life. The things that I do in my life are difficult now and these difficult things help make the everyday things easier. My inflammation levels are lower, my circulation is increased, and my ability to respond to everyday stress is simpler and easier to manage.
BLT Podcast 5 - My Military Experience
I spent 19 years in the military and today I'll share a lot of my experiences with my time in service. I'll talk about some of the things I did in the service.
I want to be abundantly clear here, I respect and honor those who serve in the military to do the mission of defending the country against things that are supposed to be working against us. This is honorable.
Unfortunately my experience in the military is that this is not what it is used for.
I found myself overwork, in pain, doing illegal, unethical, and immoral things. And to the deepest part of my heart that what I was doing was support corporations such as Lockeed Martin, BAE, General Dynamics, and others to make a bunch of money.
I'll speak about my time working with leaders that were unethical, about my efforts to learn to become a physical therapist and learn to take care of myself despite all the medical advice to take as many drugs as I can to cover pain and stop feeling.
This is why I have started doing the things I do now with my company Breathe Live Thrive to show people the ways that I have worked to help myself, the things I have personally tried and combined and refined to make myself a more productive person.
I brush on some of the things I do to help myself but those topics will be covered more in future recordings. Think about breathwork, yoga, mobility, physical therapy, nutrition, spiritual work, plant medicines, and a lot of other things as well.
