Do you sometimes experience foggy thinking? Have you ever had a concussion or been hit on the head? Last year, Lisa had a major bike accident that caused a concussion and brain inflammation. Do you know that this inflammation can also affect your mood, your thinking, your vision, your gut health, and more? What if there was a test that could determine how much inflammation you have in your body based on markers? Our guest today, researcher Regan Archibald, Lac, FMP,  talks about specific blood tests which do just that. Regan is one of the leading Peptide, Functional Medicine, and Longevity Specialists in the US. His award-winning center, EastWest Health, has performed thousands of comprehensive blood tests which include nearly 100 important markers that allow Regan and his team to understand the root cause of health issues. Regan is an international speaker and is the author of nine books including “The Peptide Blueprint” and “Ageless Future.”  Even if you have never experienced head trauma, you may have had a health crisis at some point. The crisis can sometimes cause chronic illness. Regan became obsessed with studying peptides in the body after more than six concussions. He grew up on a ranch in Idaho where he rode dirt bikes, skateboards, mountain bikes, snowboards, and participated in other dangerous activities. After numerous concussions, his entire personality changed. He was no longer interested in school and studying, he found himself with a different group of friends, he was even dressing differently. He always had ADD, but found it was getting much worse. About a year later, he attended a conference where he heard a lecture about stem cells. Emergency Room doctors talked about using medication, but another doctor talked about a method of healing the brain by using a specific nasal spray. Regan became the first researcher and first person outside of a clinical trial to use this method for internasal stem cells. After his treatment, he slept very deeply and woke up able to quiet his mind for the first time. It was such a profound experience, he started researching ways to progress this method. Through studying stem cells, he learned about peptides that could help with regeneration, boosting the immune system, building muscles, and so much more.   Scientists have identified about 7,000 different peptides in the body, but they become somewhat dormant as we age. We lose the ability to receive the signal. The receptors change and genes get turned off, but it’s now possible to turn them back on! If you’ve been exposed to harmful chemicals, had an accident, been under stress, or even had an infection, peptides can be very beneficial to healing. Toxins stay in the fat of our bodies and brains and peptides can help with releasing harmful elements.  Regan has developed specialized blood tests that can determine which peptides can be the most beneficial. Most people have chronic inflammation. This usually shows up in the gut first. The Vagus Nerve gets disrupted, and disease migrates into the digestive system. When inflammation cannot get flushed out of the brain, certain signals begin to disfunction. Sleep is the best detoxification for our brains. It’s very important to recover from concussions for optimal brain health. The brain immediately tries to cope and therefore adapts. It turns off and on certain cells. There is so much research on aging and how the brain begins to shrink, but this does not have to be the case.  Regan’s team can run specific lab tests and spend time explaining the details and results with you individually. If you are interested in learning more, or participating in a blood test as well as meeting with a consultant, pls visit https://agelessfuture.com/lisa/ You will be asked to fill out a form, then you can meet with a specialist. Regan is offering the tests to Aware Show listeners at a discounted rate. Info: https://agelessfuture.com/lisa/

Are you looking for guidance? Where does inspiration come from? It’s not from the intellect. It’s about the power of intuition and imagination. Today’s guest is Michael Tamura, Master Teacher, Visionary, Spiritual Healer, Clairvoyant, and Pioneer in the field of psychic development. Michael and Lisa talk about the importance of a meditation practice to get in touch with your intuition. He talks about how we communicate with one another, especially spirit to spirit, and how heartfelt exchange is an offering. He further talks about his prediction that the youth will lead the way, especially through the next millennium. Although they may be young physically, they are “older souls” who have an advanced understanding of spirit. With the media and technology available, they will offer new perspective and insight to further advance human understanding and compassion. He further describes “super psychics” who are naturally gifted with powerful healing abilities. His award-winning book, “You Are The Answer,” helps guide people to true destiny and life purpose.

Would you like to better understand your patterns and feel more empowered?   Lisa continues the conversation today with researcher and best-selling author Ravinder Taylor. She has helped literally thousands of people change their state of mind and therefore empower their lives. Her latest book is “Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment.” Ravinder talks about the importance of choice. If bad things happen, it is not your fault. She asks us to ask, “What do you gain when you have a problem?” What is the difference between being informed and being prepared? How can you be aware of a problem or upcoming situation, yet not attract it? Ravinder has studied optimism and pessimism. Some people believe that doom-scrolling is about helping them feel more prepared. People have the “hope” that if they have information, they can be prepared so the worst-case won’t happen. If someone looks for the negative, they will not have an enjoyable time and will feel stressed. Ravinder talks about statistics which show how much healthier people can be if they are more optimistic. What you expect, you observe. Your body will either fight or grow. Cortisol makes us feel stressed and can affect our hearts. She discusses actual techniques to increase optimism. We can be aware that some things will not work out, but if we are optimistic, we can grow and have a happier quality of life. Her “Mind Training” book talks all about the benefits of optimism and positive thinking. We can learn when things go wrong, and that means you have grown as a person. If your self-talk is positive, you cannot be depressed. Ravinder also talks about compassion and forgiveness. She talks about the prison system and studies about blame. We may need to separate ourselves from toxic people and toxic situations, but we can still offer forgiveness. She talks about the idea of “Forgiving the Unforgivable,” and Free Will. We have choices and we can teach by example. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: RavinderTaylor.com

Happy Halloween!  And what better topic to talk about on Halloween than paranormal phenomena?!  Lisa’s guest today is author and parapsychologist Michael Lewis.

After encountering several near-death experiences from a normally fatal heart condition, Michael found new proof for previous conclusions and broadened his paranormal horizons. He also talks about working with angels. Info: https://www.michaellewistherapist.co.uk.

What happens when we really utilize the power of our mind to break through blocks to success in our lives? Or maybe you are facing a pivot and do not want to go backward into old patterns? Our guest today is researcher and best-selling author Ravinder Taylor. She has helped literally thousands of people change their state of mind and therefore empower their lives. Her latest book is “Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment.” Ravinder talks about solid research which analyzed the importance of your state of mind, including a technique which improved cognitive abilities, reduced stress, and also made progress toward dementia. When she studied it further, she knew she could go deeper. What she wanted to do was take away the mystic around “self-help,” and show how in a scientific manner that positive change could be proven. She studied various self-help techniques so that the reader could find methods that work for themselves. She was looking specifically at a 12-minute meditation, which had spiritual undertones. She talks about the Sikh tradition in which she was raised, although she turned away from organized religion. She further studied brainwave entrainment and how it works with meditation. She suggests bringing your own faith into your meditation, if that feels right for you. She talks about what beliefs mean and how certain ideas get into our mind. The subconscious beliefs are so powerful, but first she says we must understand where the beliefs originated. She talks about the divided mind that Freud explored which includes the Ego, the Id, and the Superego. She furthers talks about the idea of the 4 Selves and what they mean. Who do we believe we can be? It’s not about perfection, it’s about our personal successes. We can actualize them. Her training is about being the best you can be. She further looks at psycho-social development, starting as an infant. Each period of our life lets us learn different things. She outlines the stages and shares ways to correct behaviors toward empowerment through various exercises. We can look back at our own childhoods and see where patterns started. Ravinder discusses her research into the Law of Attraction – Ask, Believe, and Receive. She talks about insecurities, self-destructive behaviors, and the importance of choosing, rather than asking. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: RavinderTaylor.com

 Is it possible that science can help explain miracles? Can the laws of quantum physics prove how miraculous healings are possible? Lisa continues the conversation today with researcher, teacher, and author Joseph Selbie who breaks down these concepts and shares documented stories of miraculous healings. We all have innate soul powers for healing, and it IS possible to take charge of our own health. Joseph believes that no disease is incurable. Today Joseph discusses his new book, “The Physics of Miraculous Healing -- How Emotion, Mind, and Spirit Enable Unlimited Self-Healing.” Joseph shares a story about a woman who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She had gone up and down with her health and was declining to the point that her parents were ready to move her into Hospice. Yet, even in that position of being so ill, she was clear of mind and strong of heart. She would spend hours and hours each day praying for others. She felt that she was in the flow of the Divine. She reports hearing a voice that said, “Get up and walk.” So she did. She removed her oxygen mask, got out of bed, and began to walk. She saw her doctor the next day who declared that she had absolutely no MS. Her subtle energy body had changed. Instants later, her physical body had changed. This woman had a powerful connection with the Divine. She had no idea that she would be cured. She just wanted to be a contributing member of society, so she spent her time praying for others. Emotions, mind, and spirit all play a part in healing. This is something that needs to be built. Joseph talks about how you may have created your illness, so therefore you may be able to heal it. If you harbor a belief and you believe something will happen to you, it very well may. If you feel a lack of forgiveness or feel betrayed in some way, this may contribute to diseases manifesting. Emotions of sadness and regret, even running in the background, can cause the subtle energy body to become distorted. This hologram makes it difficult to manifest a healthy body. The template is distorted. If these distortions are running a lot, people may get illnesses that may be difficult to cure. Your body begins to disfunction. It causes a negative distortion in your cells. How can self-healing happen? In the full potential of yourself, you could heal. If you knew with utter certainty, and believed in unlimited powers of healing, miracles can happen. Getting strength of mind can help. Joseph talks about meditation and how it can put you in touch with your spirit. You can feel it. You begin to leave unwanted beliefs. You can learn to feel and then move your subtle energy. You can do this through breathing exercises and intention. Happier people tend not to get sick. Cells are supported by a strong, healthy flow of energy. Joseph talks about living in an intentional community and his decades of meditation practice. He discusses the importance of believing in yourself. He talks about being a soul first. We must have a consistent practice to be able to self-heal. We can also believe in the power of medicine to heal. Science is so important, then you can go deeper into physics, and therefore healing can happen. It is a combination of science and spirituality. Joseph is a researcher of physics and combines this with his decades of meditation practice. The universal spiritual teachings are all based on prayer and intention. Visualization can also help to accelerate the healing. We are all in a sea of Infinite Intelligence. Those powers are always available to us and working with us whether we focus them or not. If you meditate even a little, if you choose more positive thoughts, it will help with your concentration and creativity, as well as your healing abilities. The more you take control of your health, the greater the benefits. Even if you do not heal, you may experience a more elevated sense of being. Medicine may be necessary, and spirituality can help. You are awakening to who you are. Our bodies have an innate sense of healing. It is natural to regenerate, and we can tap into these healing abilities. Our thoughts can definitely help us along the way! This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: josephselbie.com.

Why do some people have seemingly miraculous healings while others do not? Why do some people who are diagnosed with a terminal disease decline rapidly while others with the same disease live longer than expected? According to our guest today, teacher and author Joseph Selbie, we all have innate soul powers for healing, and it IS possible to take charge of our own health. He believes that no disease is incurable. Today Joseph discusses his new book, “The Physics of Miraculous Healing -- How Emotion, Mind, and Spirit Enable Unlimited Self-Healing.” The modern medical system tends to believe that miraculous healing is nearly impossible. While they consider certain diseases to be terminal, there is still a tiny fraction of people who do not die. Medicine cannot explain why. Physics can better  explain this phenomenon. Classical physics is a matter-centered view of reality. That was the predominant method of physics upon which modern medicine is based. This began to change nearly 100 years ago, starting with Einstein and his ideas and particularly his theory of special relativity which states that there is no such thing as matter. Matter is energy in another form or pattern. The universe is made of energy. Quantum Physics then further explains how all of matter is purely energy. It has 2 behaviors – it can be stable, or it can behave like formless waves. According to Joesph, some or all of the atoms or molecules in our  bodies can take on the formless waves of energy for healing. The body is like a holograph. We live in a holographic universe. This comes from M-Theory – the leading physics of today. This states we essentially exist in 2 worlds. One of matter, and one of pure energy. We project the universe into being. We can impact this energetic world. We can do this through prayer and intention. This is why prayer can work. It involves signals being sent through this seamless energy realm. We cannot exist without it. Our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions have an immediate effect on our subtle energy. This is similar to a broadcast signal. We are constantly, and unintentionally, affecting our bodies and also the lives of people around us. Once we realize this, we can learn to be much more deliberate about the signals we send out. For example, if you listen to the news, to the anger, the violence, that’s an unintentional signal that we are sending all the time. This shapes us. You can actually track the response of negative news. The primary way that we send signals is through our emotions and connection to spirit. We are constantly sending out signals. It affects us and everyone around us. This involves our emotions and our deeply held beliefs. But we can change them, if we so choose. We can do things to make our emotions more positive, make our beliefs less limited, and we can connect more deeply to our spirit or God within. Once we connect to this, we see we are part of Infinite Intelligence. We can use this power for healing. We see that when large groups of people intend together, it can have dramatic effects. Joseph also shares stories of people who have experienced miraculous healings. He talks about a man who was hospitalized with lymphoma. This man was an innate optimist. He read an article about a new chemotherapy treatment that was available at the hospital were he was. After talking to his doctor, he was able to receive this new treatment. He began to feel so much better, to the point he could leave the hospital and fly home unaided. Joseph continued the story by saying about a month later, this same man read another article that stated the experimental chemo actually did not work. He got sick again and went back to the hospital. The doctor told him that there was another experimental drug, which he tried, then he felt better and went home. He then read another article about this treatment which stated that it also didn’t work. The man fell ill again, then passed away within two days. Joesph talks about this cautionary tale and our beliefs. He reminds us that we need to believe in ourselves and our own innate ability to heal. People who have been told they have a certain amount of time to live tend to typically die around that time. The medical community does so much to heal, but beliefs can sometimes be stronger.
