Show Summary: “Presence is the greatest present.”

We often see pain as a red flag. When we were young, we were taught that it was a bad feeling. But actually, it can be beautiful as it can teach us a lot of things. When we feel it, it tells us to slow down and be with our body because pain is a compass to return to our true north and higher self.

Your body feels different emotions for different reasons, and listening to them and letting them flow through you, is your medicine. Loneliness, defeat, and despair are painful, and crying it out is OK because it makes you feel better. And surrendering allows those triggers to heal.

In this episode with Gina and Raj, they discuss masculine and feminine energy & how emotions change our physical chemistry towards healing. Listen as Juanique also shares the beautiful things she learned through Tristin's death that help her create a safe space for their children.

If someone you know is in deep pain, please share this with them to help them process what they feel through the golden nuggets mentioned in this podcast.

Exceptional Highlight:

• When you're present and slow with your body, it can magically do its work.
• Let the pain be your teacher and guide into your body.
• Children are one of our greatest teachers because they teach us to slow down and play.

Show Highlights:

How are Juanique and Tristin's loved ones doing four weeks after his passing?

Raj 1:00

• I can still feel the amount of love from him in every moment, in the kids and the house. He randomly pops into my mind all the time. Gina and I talk about him quite a lot.

Gina

• He's a part of our lives. He's not a memory; he's an active part of our lives.

How are Juanique’s children doing?

Juanique 7:41

• I don't think there is a right way to prepare your children. The only thing you can do for them is doing the work to hold a really safe space that is loving and gentle for them. I think I've done a great job of letting them feel the sadness. And then we'll hold each other in love and let it move through them.

Intentions help you do things with love and energy

Raj 16:27

• It doesn't matter if it's a workout or a desire to have a healthier life. The origin of the intent is the seed that heals. If you think that you're not enough, you will be in this rat race or the hustle culture that gives you more stress and makes you do more. It puts you in this place where your mind is in the driver's seat instead of your mind being in service to the heart.

Our bodies will not heal in fear and stress

Gina 20:17

• The researchers at the Heart Math Institute look at heart rate variability and other health indicators that predict longevity and aging. They look at how joy, love, and gratitude directly change heart rate variability. They're all these different keys to longevity. So we have to have love and joy for our bodies to heal. Otherwise, we're out of sync and coherence.

Show Summary: “If you can get to the heart, the universe will pour itself into you because the universe loves you. You just have to be open to receiving it.”

As most of you know, Tristin, Juanique's husband, life partner, best friend, the brains of Provo Health and Gutsy Health Podcast, passed away two weeks ago. And in this episode, Juanique shares how they turned a total-wrecked world into the most magnificent event in their lives.

When Tristin's cancer came back, it became a very dark and painful experience for them. Tristin was so traumatized that he kept all his wounds to himself and chose to suffer in silence. But Juanique figured that all the heavy emotions cancer had caused them should be addressed so they can heal.

Tristin underwent different therapies like Ketamine, Sanga & EMDR therapy to rewire the brain and help him deal with his battle. Juanique, who had been grieving from the very beginning, used techniques and tools throughout the past few months that helped her release her pain.

It had been a tough journey for Juanique and Tristin, but their choice to undergo mental and emotional healing made their situation exquisite. The overflowing love from their family and friends made his passing so peaceful and calm. The beautiful synchronicities made his memories & legacy so remarkable like he truly was.

Exceptional Highlight:

• You are not your body, you are the love that encompasses your body.
• Death showed us that we are not our body and that we are not the things we cling to.
• Love goes everywhere. There's nowhere where love can't go.

Show Highlights:

How is Juanique’s story different from others?

Juanique 2:18

• Tristin actually hasn't gone. I feel him every, every single day. And it's so amazing. Trust me, the first week, I could feel him so big as he passed. And when he passed, it was palpable you could feel the peace in the house. It was like his energy was being transmuted through me, and I could feel him around me and in me,

The night Tristin died

Juanique 09:58

• It was around 9:45 PM, and I walked into the room. I checked Tristin and looked for his chest to see movement, and there was none. My friend Jalen, a nurse, was in the room, and we locked eyes. And I said, "Tristin's not breathing."

What were the things Tristin and Juanique did for healing?

Juanique 29:14

• He did Ketamine and Sanga therapy, and it was amazing. He also did EMDR therapy, and what it does is helps rewire your brain and move traumatic memories to a different part of your brain so that it doesn't have that emotional charge anymore.

The goose bumping beautiful synchronicities of Tristin's death

Juanique 53:14

• He was really close with his sister Brittany. She said as she came to drive to her house the following day; as soon as she entered the canyon, she heard Tristin say to her, "I love you, sister. It was peaceful entering in. "

Show Summary: “When you know yourself, that's where you can find your medicine.”

Do you always feel like eating ice cream when you're alone at home?

Do you long for salty foods when you are stressed?

Do your cravings always show up?

If your answer is YES, it's OK. Many of Gina's clients experience that a lot. Even if they have meal plans to follow, their cravings always show up like a balloon that keeps coming up from underwater, and no matter how hard you push it down, it pops back up again.

Interestingly, cravings are also linked to the inability to experience emotions like boredom, sadness, and loneliness. If you find yourself munching sweets in the middle of the night, even if you're not hungry, it could be that there is an unprocessed emotion deep within you that you have to address.

“Stop bringing in chemicals that are harmful to you and your family's health. Your home should be clean and safe because it is your SANCTUARY.”

Your home is your safest place. That's where you rest, eat healthy and fun foods, spend time and build dreams with your loved ones. And because of the restrictions caused by the pandemic, sometimes there is no other choice for you but to stay home. But it can be quite alarming to know that even the simple things around your home can give you inflammation and worse, can poison you.

The world runs differently right now, and many things are created to make your life much easier but can destroy your health faster even if you're at home relaxing, like the gadgets you use daily. Devices help you reach people who are far from you, and it automates your activities. Some products help you clean your house but slowly deteriorate your body. And without proper guidance and awareness from the real experts who care, you might get sick without knowing the root cause.

That's why Ryan Blaser, the owner of Test My Home Building Solutions, is back to discuss what EMF is and give you Fifteen easy, actionable, and no-cost ways to protect your family from it. And just by simply sharing this with the people you care about, you can save a life and help us heal the world.

Exceptional Highlight:

• The problem is, the more effective a pesticide is, the more harmful it is.
• If you have plastic in your kitchen, get rid of it and reuse glass, wood, stainless steel, and silicone. They are all good options.
• Practical Avoidance is lowering all the artificial energies that are traveling through our bodies that are affecting the brain, heart & nervous system.

Show Highlights:

Ways To Protect Yourselves from EMFs

Starting at 7:36

• Take the time to open up doors and windows, get some cross-ventilation because AC causes high CO2 levels inside the homes.
• Take off your shoes out of the door. Make it a rule to take off your shoes to prevent bringing in so much nasty stuff from the outside.
• Ensure you use the vent in your bathroom and not let the moisture condensate in your doors and walls.
• Ensure you're using the ventilation in your kitchen to prevent creating carbon monoxide whenever you're burning petroleum products.
• Use good clean products instead of products with high chemical content which are deadly.
• Prevent using fragrances that have chemicals in them. Learn to love the smell of neutral because that's a healthy smell.
• Get rid of plastics for cooking because they are toxins, and they can get into your system.
• Stop using super effective pesticides because they are toxic to your gut biome.
• Stop using herbicides on the lawn because they are cancerous.
• Go to your attic, check it once or twice a year and clean it.
• Turn off your electronic devices when not in use to minimize EMF exposure.
• When you're sleeping, turn the circuits off to your bedroom.
• When you use grounding mats, you have to be in a zero electric field.
• If you can't turn off your devices, make sure to put them from a distance.

EMFs Episode

Mold Contamination Episode

Show Summary: “Give your brain a break, let it be the true hybrid engine that it wants to be, and quit depriving it of this alternative or additional fuel, namely ketones.”

A lot of people have requested for Dr. Benjamin Bikman to be in the podcast again, and he's back with more valuable information that can save you and your family's lives! In the 89th episode, he discussed how glucose could kill and how it triggers different diseases when it goes up. Now, he'll discuss how it could affect the human body's neurological health.

When the brain is hungry, it can cause neurological problems. It's because the brain can't get enough energy from glucose, and there are simply no ketones around to provide the alternative fuel. Sadly, people usually eat sugary & starchy foods that don't have ketones, depriving the brain of what it needs.

Also, reductions in brain glucose use have been detected in those suffering from migraines which are also evident in Epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. Listen carefully as Dr. Benjamin breaks down the lethal effects of glucose & lack of ketones in the brain. Share this with your friends and family and learn how to protect yourself from neurological illnesses by trimming down your sugar intake.

Exceptional Highlight:

• If someone's eating french fries that have been fried in soybean oil, they are getting every fat molecule on there because the oil has become an oxidized or a peroxide version of itself.
• Insulin may take up to three hours or more to come back down to where it was before. If we can never stop eating, we bump it back up again before insulin gets back down to fasting or baseline levels.
• When ketones are available in the blood, the brain will get 75% of all of its energy from ketones.

Show Highlights:

Quick Recap: What is Insulin?

Dr. Benjamin 3:52

• Insulin is a peptide hormone. It is released from our pancreas, and it tells every cell in the body to do something. And every cell in the body will respond to insulin in some way. Its most famous effect is what it does at fat cells and muscle cells, and that is to stimulate the uptake of glucose.

.

How insulin and sugar affect neurological disorders?

Dr. Benjamin 20:16

• When the glucose metabolism rate in people's brains with mild cognitive impairment is measured, it is significantly down. It happens even with the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (even if it's not diagnosed yet), yet we see these detections. We can detect this reduction in glucose use; however, ketone use was normal.

The best and easiest way to take care of your brain

Dr. Benjamin 49:56

• You don't have to go on some strict ketogenic diet or multi-day fasting. You don't have to be that extreme. Eat a reasonable dinner that isn't an overindulgence. It should have fat, protein, and even carbohydrates, then stop eating after dinner.
