Episode 69: "The Unlearning" with Nurse Practitioner & "Natural Nurse Momma" Lauren Johnson

09/16/22 • 89 min

Many of us, both within the medical profession and outside of it, have gained tremendous clarity through the realization that we all need to "unlearn" so much of what we have learned about health, nutrition, medicine, prevention, etc. Nurse Practitioner, Lauren Johnson, or "Natural Nurse Momma" as she is known to her more than 200,000 followers on social media, realized while practicing medicine that she needed to unlearn so much of what she had been taught in medical school in order to help her patients truly be healed and healthy. And she realized this after battling her own health conditions and examining her own medications and treatments. In this episode, we will challenge all of us to not be overwhelmed by the realization that you, too, may need to unlearn some things, or to be paralyzed by all the information available, but to instead "just think". What could be at the root of my health concerns? What am I doing that could make my life better or worse? And how can I move forward in making better, more informed choices, one day at a time. Change can be intimidating and overwhelming. We want to encourage you that change can be simple and incremental. And incremental changes can dramatically improve your health and your life.

Episode 68: Alma Ohene-Opare and His Message To Our President

Maybe you saw it last week? The President of The United States, in an address from Philadelphia broadcast to the entire country, declared, “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic," Many on both sides of the aisle found his message to be alarming and divisive, but one person in particular set out to kindly, frankly, and eloquently set the record straight about who exactly MAGA Republicans are. And we think you might be surprised, as his explanation and persona absolutely defies the public perception perpetuated by opponents and aided by the mainstream media.

Alma Ohene-Apare went viral in his video response to the president which included the assurance, “Mr, President, I am not your enemy.” We were beyond inspired and encouraged, so we had to introduce you all to him and learn more from him. So Just Thinkers, meet Alma—husband, father, immigrant, new citizen, and entrepreneur who is committed to doing his part to “make America great again.”

Episode 70: Reality Check

The gaslighting attempts are escalating--the spin, the propaganda, the twisting of the truth to fit a narrative--is so prevalent it is now normalized. It seems that some believe if they say something enough, even if it is false, they can make it true. At the very least, they seem to be able to make it believable to some. And NONE of us are exempt from being impacted by it. It is why now, more than ever, we must work to resist cognitive dissonance, disconnect from any tribalism that contributes to blind trust, ask questions, search for the truth ourselves, JUST THINK, and feel free to speak our minds. This week, we "fact check" the "fact checkers" on some hot topics. Now that election season is at hand, you better believe the attempts to manipulate you with fear and anger will escalate, and you need to be prepared to combat this with clarity and the truth.
