Gut Check Your Supplements and Thrive (with Wade Lightheart)

WHAT I'M WRITING ABOUT THIS WEEK

The Power of Emotion

Emotions are often uncomfortable to confront. Thing is, when we don’t acknowledge them, they can gain power over us. We literally give our power away when we don’t process and learn from our emotions (good or bad). In this week’s blog, I share with you a story of my experience with adversity, emotions, and the power struggle that we all face with emotions. Take that power back!

THE MARK DIVINE SHOW

A Holistic Look At Gut Health

Episode #388 Gut Check Your Supplements and Thrive (with Wade Lightheart)

Today, I speak with Wade Lightheart, a man who is revolutionizing supplementation and how to balance our physical, emotional, and energetic systems. In the episode, Wade shares his journey in discovering the key components to individual health and a positive look at the future of Gut Health and overall wellness. Wade shares his journey through a variety of landscapes, and how that mirrored his findings of why diversity is key for our soil, bodies, and education systems.

Key Takeaways:

Having the right mentors and teachers is essential in life. Wade describes the risk of hurting oneself without the proper education and guidance. Specifically, how in the era of information and technology how one can find profound information that is useless and even dangerous without the guidance and support of experts in the field.
The profound influence of inviting the wrong people into your life. Wade shares how he allowed toxic people and lifestyle to permeate his path on health. Acknowledging that putting his life at risk to feel good was all part of the journey to becoming aware of the importance of the environment we choose and the people in it. Mark and Wade explore the difference between controversial medicines being used for recreation instead of healing, and fake vs. real shamans.
Blanket supplementation vs. Individual supplementation. Wade shares the best tests for individual whole body testing. Emphasizing the importance of why supplementation is not a one size fits all game and can even be dangerous and wasteful to take supplements without a specific protocol. He announces why gut health is an essential component for this and future generations due to the shifting landscape of soil, antibiotics, and overall environment.
Magnesium’s key role in brain function. Wade explains the four types of magnesium and how they vary, while celebrating the benefits of knowing what is right for your maximum fitness, mental clarity, and sleep.

WHAT I'M READING

Escape from Freedom

By Erich Fromm
Freedom… we crave it, yet we also resist it. The pursuit of freedom has indelibly marked Western culture but this freedom can also make people feel unmoored, and is often accompanied by feelings of isolation, fear, and the loss of self. This, as Escape from Freedom details, all leads to a desire for authoritarianism, conformity, or destructiveness. This classic book takes a deep look at the roots of Nazism and fascism in Europe, and explains how economic and social constraints can also lead to authoritarianism.

WHAT'S INSPIRING ME

I’m inspired by psychedelics’ use in treating PTSD and other military struggles of Veterans. Recent innovations in the clinical application and steady decriminalization of psychedelics has led to more and more vets getting support from these substances (again, in a clinical and controlled environment). A recent story caught my eye, quoting a recently retired veteran Marcus Capone, saying, "These things get to the root causes of problems. They get down in your soul and kind of pull out the things that you may be struggling with," Capone leveraged Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions, a nonprofit that connects veterans with resources and advocates for psychedelic-assisted therapies.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

PRACTICE OR HABIT TO TRY

How often do you check in, emotionally? It can be easy, especially around the holidays, to just keep going and going - and forget to check in with ourselves. My invitation to you this holiday season is to check in with yourself. To do this, ask yourself: 1. What am I feeling, emotionally (try the five core emotions: joy, anger, sadness, fear, shame/guilt)? 2. What am I feeling in my body? 3. How can I take better care of myself today?
