1 (3m 7s): Now a word from our sponsor, better help. Not too long ago. I found myself stuck in a total rut. I felt completely overwhelmed by life. It felt impossible to balance it all. Money, friendships, marriage, children, multiple businesses, Ugh. I just felt kind of hopeless. Honestly. I started seeing a counselor to receive an outside perspective and it completely transformed my mindset. I switched from focusing on all the problems to starting to focus on solutions, but I never would've gotten through without that professional outside support.

1 (6m 22s): Well, I'm here with Dr. Wendy Myers, who is a naturopathic doctor and founder of Myers detox.com. She is a heavy metal detox and bioenergetics expert, as well as the number one best selling author of limitless energy. How to detox toxic metals to end exhaustion and chronic fatigue. Wendy is the host of a top 100 rated podcast. The Myers detox podcast about protecting your health with detoxification, Wendy, welcome to this show. It's so good to have you back. How are you?
4 (6m 55s): Yeah, thanks so much for having me.
1 (6m 57s): So how are things it's been a while since you were back on the show and I feel like you're always getting into so many different things and projects, you know, what's gotten you super excited these days.
4 (7m 8s): Well, you know what, these days I'm focusing on, you know, I'm focused the last 10 years on heavy metal and chemical detoxification. And I just, I love that. But you know, working with thousands of clients, I always felt like there was something more that they needed to do to address their, their health issues or address like weight loss or whatever they were trying to accomplish with their health. And, and I found that, you know, in my own personal health attorney that working on negative stuck emotions, working on emotional trauma and releasing it, becoming aware of it and releasing it has been truly life changing for me in my physical health and my mental health and, and really, you know, cultivating feelings of like love peace and joy, which are the highest frequency emotions.
4 (8m 2s): That's really why, why we're all doing this, right? That's like the end goal. Not that you want to do all these things for your health that you wanna detox, or you want whatever you're doing for your health. It's that at the end of the day, you wanna feel a love piece and joy and you want to love, have self love, you know, and I think in cultivating those emotions and self love, people can really, truly step into their life purpose and the person that they're, they're wanting to be and experience their life to the fullest. And so in order to do that, I think people really have to have awareness around their emotional trauma and release it. And so I've been focusing on that in, in recent years.
1 (8m 44s): I think that's such an important distinction. What you're talking about is he health, not really just for health sakes, right? Someone can have a completely healthy body that's free of disease and you know, nothing major happening, but could still not really be living a healthy, emotional life, right. Or not be achieving that happiness or that joy, that joy level that I think is a fantastic thing to prioritize when you are looking at making changes and you're striving for that, we say all the time, your best life ever, or your healthiest life ever, you know, what does that actually mean?
1 (9m 24s): I love to think that the answer to that could be, you know, if you're happy and you're joyous and that's, it's such an important distinction. Did you find that you were resistant to that concept of really examining your emotional health or past traumas for your own health journey?
4 (9m 42s): And that's a thing I wasn't at all. I mean, I started therapy when I was 12. I had 10 years of talk therapy. I have read all the books. I mean, I was just, it had like termed over every stone. I took, maybe I'm just three clashes, short of a degree in psychology. I mean, I had done the work and I still didn't feel good. Like I still felt like I, I struggled with self-worth issues and self love. I struggled in my relationships having confidence and trust and, and all these things. So for me, I, I left no stone unturned. That's just my personality.
4 (10m 23s): And yet the, the answers and those good feelings and things that I had searching for still alluded me. Hmm. And that's one thing I uncovered in my research is that, you know, talk therapy doesn't really work when it comes to releasing emotional traumas that are driving a lot of our negative behaviors, driving health issues. And there's a tremendous amount of research and statistics I'll get into in like a minute, but, you know, you know, doing talk therapy, you can become kind of like an expert in your neurosis, but it doesn't release emotional trauma. And, and the reason is because a lot of emotional traumas, we suffered at the hands of our parents or primary caregivers, and it doesn't have to be outright abuse.
4 (11m 13s): It can just be neglect. Neglect can have just as much of an impact on someone's emotional life and physical health as can emotional, physical and sexual abuses, you
1 (11m 26s): Know. And does that include that those negative outcomes? Does that include weight loss and weight gain as well?
4 (11m 32s): Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Because people, if they have a lot of emotional trauma, they can have behaviors that impact their weight so they can have, you know, like, like the statistics show, like people with emotional traumas, you know, they're on more antidepressants, you know, it's like if you have just three adverse childhood experiences, 72% of people, those people are on antidepressants, which can causes weight gain. You know, if you have three or, you know, four, actually four or more adverse childhood events, 17% of people are smokers.
4 (12m 13s): People have four more adverse childhood events or ACEs, 50% of people have, you know, two or more weeks of depression in the year, which will, you know, make you eat more typically or not exercise, not take care of yourself. 12% of people with four or more ACEs are overweight or obese, 16% or more of people with four ACEs are more considered themselves to be an alcoholic. People have, you know, they're four and a half times more likely to have heart disease. They're four times more likely to have lung disease, two times more likely to have cancer or strokes.
4 (12m 53s): There's a lot, there's way more to this. Yeah. Than I'm even, I'm just scratching.
1 (12m 57s): Sure. Yeah. There's a lot of research into what you're saying. ACEs for people unfamiliar with that adverse childhood experiences, is that term ACE, adverse childhood experiences, is that the same as same emotional trauma or are those sort of, yes. Okay.
4 (13m 15s): Yeah. So they're just different types of emotional traumas that people have. Like, you know, if your parent was verbally abusive or you had a parent that was in jail, you had a parent that was a drug addict or alcoholic, or there's a lot of different types of, of traumas. People had like an assault or they went to war or many other things, an illness, a really bad illness, a car crash. These are all different types of emotional traumas and adverse childhood events.
1 (13m 45s): And you were sort of saying earlier about talk therapy, being really good at helping you understand your own neurosis, but not necessarily help release these emotional traumas. Did I hear that right?
4 (13m 56s): Yes. Because a lot of these traumas we experienced, especially as a young child, especially before the age of seven, we just weren't able to verbalize or cry for help, you know? And, and it, these things happened before we were able to intellectualize them before we're able to understand them. So not only are they traumas, but they actually become parts of our personality, you know, where people have different coping me mechanisms. Like they get very controlling. They get very people pleasing, they get become bullies, or they become very codependent and which can be people pleasing.
4 (14m 41s): They have different ways of coping with that. You can't talk your way out of your personality. You can't talk your way out of that. So top therapy is great. It's going to get support, understand the nature of your relationships, but it does not address emotional trauma in an effective or permanent way. And this is the words of Dr. Professor Bessel VanderPol. Who's one of the world's leading experts on emotional trauma, then researching it for 40 years. And he says, quote, yapping doesn't work. And, and, and what the research does show what the conventional medical research does show is that emotional traumas are they're.
4 (15m 26s): They have an energetic frequency, and they're in this energy field that we have that's about 10 feet or, you know, three meters in diameter around our body and emotional traumas. That's where they reside. That's where they are. They're not in your brain cells. There's no research ever anywhere that has found where emotional traumas are in our physical body. They're not in our nervous system, they're in our brain cells, where are they? They're in our energy field. And that's where they have to be addressed with energetic therapies.
1 (15m 58s): Okay. Well, let's talk about some of those solutions. I'm sure there's many ways to approach this and essential oils will include some tips around how you can incorporate them into that process as well. Would it be helpful if we kind of go back and you talk us through, you were saying that you were, you were really struggling or you were aware of all the sort of chalk therapy options, psychotherapy. You're very researched on that, but it really wasn't until you started addressing these emotional traumas that you found a lot of help. Can we go back and sort of walk us through those steps and those solutions that worked for you and any other advice you wanna include?
4 (16m 34s): Yeah. So, you know, on my journey, I felt like I was doing everything right for my physical health. You know, like I was taking all the supplements. I was eating a great diet, eating, organic food, making all my own food at home. I was exercising quite a bit. I, I didn't have a stressful life. I was doing stress reduction in yoga and all these things, but I, I, I went to a conference and I discovered, so I, I discovered detoxification. I started doing heavy metal and chemical detoxification. That's great. But I felt like I reached a pinnacle and I was also, I was having at one point having trouble losing weight, I was just, I was just kind of doing everything right for my health.
4 (17m 17s): I wasn't losing weight. And so that's what prompted me to go to the doctor to figure out, like, do all these tests, figure out what's going on with me. And I found, I had low thyroid function. I had the hormone levels of menopausal woman and all these things. And so, and how old were you on my health journey? I was 37 and then on my health journey to get better, I started with detoxification and then I met someone Harry Massey, who's the founder of nest health, NES health bioenergetic software. And it's, you can do like this scan and then it tests all, all these different frequencies in your body. Like it tests what your emotional traumas you have and what energetic blocks you have, what toxins you have, what heavy metals you have.
4 (17m 59s): I would tests like 500 different data points. It's amazing. And, and I did started doing this protocol and I felt so much better. So I that's where I learned about bioenergetics. And then eventually, you know, I did it really expanded my awareness about emotional trauma and how much that's affecting me physically, you know, and, and that my education about that began there. But then I learned more about biofield tuning for therapy, which is a uses frequencies to tune emotional traumas out of your energy field. You, you literally just tune them away using a frequency to get rid of the frequency of the emotional trauma, essential oils play a huge role.
4 (18m 44s): I mean, that's, that's part of how they work. They have a certain frequency, you know, I have, I have a rife machine that send it's like it. You can send frequencies to your body. You can send a frequency of an essential oil, any essential oil, all the frequencies are in this rife device. You can send that frequency to your body and have the same effect as using an essential oil, you know, because that's, that's part of how they work. Like in the highest frequency is a rose essential oil, you know, which I thought was really, really interesting, but obviously using the real essential oil is much more pleasurable cuz they smell so delicious, you know, but that is part of how they work is, is on a frequency, energetic level.
1 (19m 31s): Yeah. And can you talk a little bit more about the rife machine? This is something I've heard a lot about. I've never personally used it myself. I've never been able to kinda get myself to make that investment cuz it is quite inexpensive machine, but, and it's also kind of controversial. So let's dive into that cuz I'm sure some of our listeners are somewhat familiar with that or heard it before maybe even tried it themselves and would love to learn more specifics about that.
4 (19m 57s): Yeah. So rife was developed by Royal rife about a hundred years ago. So it's been around a long time and I mean, for me, it's something that is one of the, the more effective devices that I use, especially when it comes to infections. I actually, my mom bought one for her brother. He's dealing with brain cancer right now, but mainly I use it for, for infections. So people have gut infections or bladder infections or gut infections or what have you, or, or parasites and things like that. And things can, that can be very difficult to address just using conventional methods.
4 (20m 40s): And so it's very simple. Like you, you sit down, you, you put these, these pads on you, you do a scan of your body and kind of like the infections or cooties or whatever. It's screaming, the loudest, it's sending out a frequency, that's picked up by the rife device. And then it will tell you the top 10 frequencies that you need to do to address these issues. And then you can use this device. It's just a, a light device. It kind of flashes on and off and it's sending a frequency to your body. And what happens is when you, so you have like a bacteria, you have E coli in your gut or your bladder.
4 (21m 21s): So it's like, it's almost like sending this frequency from the rife device to your body causes the membrane of that E coli bacteria to just explode. It's almost the same like resonance when an opera singer is singing and you hear the, the, you see the glass shattering because her voice hit a certain resonance that made cause that glass to explode. It's the same concept with, with Ari device. But it also has all the medications. It has all the essential oils. It has all the minerals, it has all the vitamins and there's, there's other frequencies you, you can send in your body and your body doesn't really know any difference.
1 (22m 0s): You're saying it has all these things, but it's, you can tune it to the same frequency of, of these things.
4 (22m 7s): Yeah. Well you just gonna can search for all the programs, like there's about 50,000 programs in it. And so you can just do a search for different programs. Like you have headaches or you have, you wanna do weight loss there's anti-aging frequencies or essential oils or whatever you want it's in there. Yeah.
1 (22m 24s): Is it also scanner? I mean, will it scan your body and sort of suggest different programs for it? Yes, it does. Okay.
4 (22m 31s): Yes, it will.
1 (22m 32s): Yeah.
4 (22m 32s): It's interesting. Absolutely. And that's one of the most effective ways to use it cuz you don't always know what's going on with you, you know, so it's better to do a scan and, and there's, there's definitely different price points for rife. So there's very expensive ones and the, the least expensive. And I, the one that I like the best that I use it's called the spooky two and the reason it's called the spooky, it sounds really weird it's cuz Albert Einstein said that I think like quantum physics is really spooky or something of, of that nature. So that, that's why it's called the spooky two.com. That's where you can learn more about it and they have a Facebook group that's really helpful to answer people's questions.
1 (23m 13s): Very cool. Well thank you for, for diving into that, cuz that's something that's been sort of on my peripheral for a while, but I've never really Noven into it that much. So if people wanna learn more than the website is sufficient for, for that sort of education. Yeah.
4 (23m 28s): Oh absolutely. Absolutely. And they have a podcast too they're they have a lot of resources.
1 (23m 32s): Yeah. Very cool. Very cool. Awesome. So let's dive into some other tools as well. Let's circle back. We've talked about the we've briefly talked about essential oils, but can we dive a little more into how essential oils can help address emotional trauma for people that, you know, they just wanna start simply and go, you know, be at home and they're looking at their oil shelf, you know, where would you suggest they start?
4 (23m 56s): Yes. So you know what I mean? I don't know if there's essential oils necessarily directly address emotional trauma, but there's definitely essential oils you can use for stress that are super, super helpful. And, and one thing that I like to do is when I'm, I'm experiencing like a negative emotion or I'm doing a protocol to release emotional trauma, like biofield tuning fork therapy or, you know, you're just having a bad day or whatever. I like to get into the bathtub into an Epsom salt bath and add essential oils to it. And some ones that are because you know, you release emotions in water. And so that's a very, that's a great way to diffuse any kind of negative emotions.
4 (24m 40s): I think that's why people kind of naturally gravitate towards taking a hot bath after they, or going swimming in the ocean or what have you. Any water, especially salt water is very effective at dissipating and releasing emotions into that water and make you feel better. But for me, I definitely, I use lavender essential oil when I'm in my bath and I really like, like the high altitude lavenders as well. They just have a really nice sent to me, ment essential oil, amazing for stress relief, lemon grass, essential oil is greatly. It was just like is one of my favorites, the, the orange flour.
4 (25m 21s): I love that yuzu essential oil, which is Japanese lime is amazing lemon, essential oil, orange essential oil, and the citrus are very uplifting and then Elaine lane as well. And so those are, you know, there's lots of waste of skin check in, but you know, I think those are great for, for stress relief.
1 (25m 43s): Yeah, absolutely. There's something just sort of immediately uplifting and grounding about smelling an essential oil and it takes no time at all. So it's really sort of a no brainer. I'm always sort of amazed when I meet a therapist honestly, or a counselor that doesn't consider using essential oils in their office or as part of their work, because I've talked to so many who do incorporate those two together. Like we were talking about talk therapy and its sort of limitations. I wanna point people to episode 2 56 of this podcast, it was interviewing with Janelle den. Who's a therapist and she incorporates essential oils, specifically aroma freedom technique into her practice with her clients.
1 (26m 29s): And she sort of said the same thing, like, you know, talk therapy on its own kind of can only take you so far, but the way that she incorporates the essential oils in it to really in, in layman's term really unlock a lot of where these ne negative patterns are, are sort of stored in the body is really key in not just addressing them and talking about them, but releasing them right. Letting them go. And on that note, you know, what was that experience like for you when you did start doing this sort of work? What did that feel like? And what was the result of you addressing those traumas, those emotional traumas for yourself?
4 (27m 10s): Yes. Well, you know, I thought it was really interesting when I would do this, this nest health bioenergetic scan and it identifies specifically what emotional traumas you're dealing with and what organ they're affecting, which I found was really interesting. And I, I was at the time, you know, I think, you know, I was, I, I was just, it was just eerily accurate what the scan was saying. And so I started doing the protocol, which involved taking these pharmaceutical waters, there's information printed on these salt waters, then you, that there's a frequency, you ingest them. And then that frequency goes into your body and gives you kind of like new operating instructions.
4 (27m 55s): And so some of the ones I was taking help to release emotional trauma, and what would happen is I had much more vivid dreams. I'd have I processing stuff in my dreams. You know, you, you process like fear or abandonment or people are chasing you or whatever, you know, your stuff, whatever you have was coming up in my dreams also I'd find doing biofield tuning fork therapy. So you're doing tuning fork therapy. You're focusing, focusing your intention on releasing anger or releasing self hatred or, or what have you. And you can have, as you're releasing these negative emotions, you can have an intensification of that very emotion or trying to get rid of so that it can be released.
4 (28m 43s): And so that's not always so fun, but it's, but it's, if you have an awareness of that, then you know, what's going on. And for me, I just had this one day where I, I went to the beach and I was at this time in my life, I was feeling very stressed. I wasn't happy with my, my husband at the time. And I just, I knew I needed to get out of this relationship and I was planning to leave this person. And I was focusing at, at that time in my journey on self hatred, which I always thought, I, I didn't have that. You know, I always thought, oh, I love myself. I have this amazing job. I'm helping people. I'm engaged and challenged and excited about what I'm doing.
4 (29m 27s): But I, and I didn't, I just didn't realize how much self hatred I actually had and how that was impacting my choice of husband and staying with this person. Even when he, there was so many red flags and I, I wasn't being treated how I deserved to be, you know? And so, and I think that's the thing with a lot of the traumas and, and negative emotions. People aren't conscious of them. And so for me, okay, I was working on self hatred and I was changing into my bathing suit in the bathroom. I was at the beach with my husband and I, this wave of self hatred came over me looking at my body.
4 (30m 9s): I was too over. I was overweight. I wasn't happy with my body. I felt ashamed and was getting hard on myself. And I started having these thoughts. I just, I need to stay with him like, who is gonna love me? Who's gonna want this. Who's gonna wanna have sex with me. You know, who is, you know, he, I know that he loves me. This is safe, even though I'm not happy, it's he, I know he loves me and wants to be with me. And so, and it was just so intense. And the whole day I was just like, I hate myself, you know? And then the next day I woke up, it was gone. I didn't feel like that at all. And I, and I continued on my plan to, to leave this person.
4 (30m 50s): Wow. You know, when I was having down city before, cuz it was, I, there were just this intensification of the self hatred for it to release. And it was a very profound lesson for me that, you know, when you're doing kind of trauma work or you're trying to release negative emotions, stuck emotions, you know, you don't wanna get too caught up in, in how you're feeling when you're doing this work. It's just, it'll pass.
1 (31m 15s): Yeah. It's a good reminder. Like everything is temporary, everything changes and it's okay to let, let those feelings in, let those thoughts in and acknowledge them. You know, that's, that's the key, right? You can't just keep pushing them down and pretending they don't exist or the opposite gets so locked onto them that you just continue to dwell and dwell and dwell. Like you have to recognize acknowledge, maybe even say a little, thank you. Okay. Thanks. I just learned a lot about myself right now, you know? And then let it go.
4 (31m 50s): Yeah.
1 (31m 51s): Fascinating, Wendy, we, you we've mentioned throughout this episode a little bit about weight issues, weight gain, that kind of thing. I'm curious. Is there much research done on that link between trauma and weight gain or weight loss?
4 (32m 10s): Oh, absolutely because there's the bottom line is there's so much conventional medical research with the ACEs Kaiser Permanente study with the work of Dr. Professor of Bessel van with just Dr. Carlos Ventura. Who's a cardiologist, there's, there's so much research that shows that emotional traumas have a dramatic impact on our physical health. And so the more adverse childhood experiences you have, the more increased likelihood you have of obesity of diabetes.
4 (32m 50s): You know, if you can't control your blood sugar, you're gonna have a really hard time losing weight. And if you have to take insulin, which is the hormone that tells you to store fat, you're gonna have a really hard time losing weight. People have more depression, which I mentioned before and the more depressed you're, you're not exercising. You're people tend to like overeat comfort, eat to get some, you know, get that serotonin hit they'll eat carbohydrates, which help make serotonin people have increased rates of a heart disease, increased rates of stroke, increased rates of osteoporosis, all, all these different things, you know, increased smoking alcoholism, illegal drug use things of that nature that just, you know, in and of themselves can, you know, any one of them can cause you to be overweight, but there's a lot of different factors that can factor into people having weight gain or resistant weight loss.
4 (33m 49s): People can have like emotional issues that can have anxiety and depression, which will make them eat more. You know, they're just a lot, a lot of different things that, you know, cause people to have weight issues yeah. And pertaining to emotional trauma.
1 (34m 3s): Yeah. And I know that it, yeah, it's so much more than just weight gain. Right. That's sort of, a lot of people wanna hear solutions for that, but it's all interconnected. Right. It's all related to your, to your overall health. Well, last question, Wendy, before we close out here is if you could just either recap or give just a little bit of a, of a first step advice for someone who is hearing what you're saying or going all right, I'm ready. I really need to address these emotional dramas. I can hear everything you're saying and going yes, yes, yes. This is, this is where I'm stuck. What would be those first little baby steps you would recommend?
1 (34m 44s): They take,
4 (34m 46s): Well, I'd first recommend taking my free masterclass. I have an emotional detox masterclass that kind of goes into this kind of more in depth and talks about, you know, some solutions in the research, the scientific research behind using biofield tuning fork therapy. And you can go to that@emodetox.com, it's emo, D E T O x.com and it's totally free. And in that masterclass, I, the, the, one of the easiest things that you can do is doing biofield tuning fork therapy. And this is the work of Eileen McKusick. Who's pioneered, you know, researching this for over 25 years.
4 (35m 28s): And because, you know, using a biofield tuning fork, it's kind of like, you, you strike it, you strike the tuning fork. I dunno if you can, can hear that. And it creates this frequency vibration, and you put this, the fork on your body. That's the end of it on like, you know, right on your heart. And that essentially tunes out emotional traumas and, and negative emotions out of your energy field. It's, it's in a very simple process and it's very effective. I mean, you, after you do a session 20 minutes of biofield tuning for it, you feel less stressed. You feel less anxious, you're more relaxed.
4 (36m 10s): I mean, you can feel the benefits very, very quickly, but it also over time, you know, you, you kind of use a, do a practice, like almost think thinking of it as like, like the new meditation, you know, meditation doesn't address your emotional traumas. It's great. It has its benefits, but I really believe that biofield tuning for therapy, which is a form of sound therapy is the new meditation. This is what people should be doing to get them feeling mentally and physically, they, the way they want to feel. And so this, and it's $85 to get this doing for, I mean, it's the easiest, simplest thing you can do at home.
4 (36m 53s): You don't have to have a professional it's in super easy to do. You don't have to pay a therapist or a trauma therapist or the, this or that, you know, it's, it's affordable. And, and so for me, that's really, my goal is to, to help people bring awareness to people about how they're emotional trauma is dramatically affecting them today. Even if they think they've dealt with it, even if they think they've done the therapy and read all the books and like, oh, I, I already did all that work. I assure you that you need to work on emotional trauma at the energetic level. And biofield tuning for therapy is one of the easiest and most effective things that, that you can do.
4 (37m 34s): And then there's the bioenergetic software. I talked about the nest health bioenergetic software. That's definitely more of an investment, but it, it will identify the exact traumas that you're dealing with at the time of the scan and give you protocols to release them. And so that's super effective and very targeted.
1 (37m 54s): The difference between that, you're talking about the nest health versus something like the rife machine or the spooky too.
4 (38m 1s): So the right machine is not really so adept at working on emotional trauma. Okay. Because you can, you can, you know, download frequencies that will help with anxiety or help with depression, but it's not specifically geared to working on emotional traumas. Okay. There, there is programs in there, but it's the nest health Biogen software has like the, the work of Dr. Hamer in it who founded German new medicine. And so he did, he worked for his whole life working with 60,000 cancer patients where those cancers were, what organs, body systems and what emotional traumas these people had.
4 (38m 49s): And so that's why you're able to discover what emotional traumas are, what frequencies are being picked up by the scan, the frequencies of your emotional traumas. And so you, you're able to spec and, and gives you frequencies to help release those emotional traumas and the protocols. They, they give you to address the issues they found in the scan. And so it's very specifically targeted to addressing emotional trauma. Okay. Whereas the rife is not so much rife is great for infections and things like that. And another playing around in other ways, but not, not so specifically geared towards emotional trauma.
1 (39m 35s): Wendy, this has been such an illuminating conversation. I thank you for sharing all of this with me. I always appreciate how rooted in research and, and how personally invested you are in disseminating this, disseminating this information. It's super, super awesome. Before you go. I know you've been on the show before, but I'm gonna ask you the same closing questions, cuz it's been a while and the first is what's one or two self-care practices you try to do every day to stay healthy.
4 (40m 5s): Well, you know, probably goes without saying I do biofield tuning for therapy. So I try to spend, you know, 20, 30 minutes a day doing that, you know, people on average need to do about 500 hours of biofield tuning for therapy. So it it's a practice. It's like anything. And you know, after a year or two, I mean of doing it consistently, you got your you're a lot happier and lighter. You have less emotional baggage and you literally just tune these negative emo negative emotions and traumas out of your energy field. It's like era it from your timeline, cuz it's not affecting you anymore today.
4 (40m 46s): And so, and, and one thing to be aware of is that every, every person that they're wondering like what emotions they might wanna work on using biofield tuning for therapy, every person needs to work on self hatred, worthlessness, powerlessness, self deprivation, and survival fear. Those are the core issues that most people have that they need to release. And that will take care of so many of their downstream issues, depression, anxiety, and, and other anger and other things that people have that they deal with. So that's definitely a big part of my routine, but I also, I love to do I foot baths as well as, as part of my, you know, physical detoxification protocols that I do do.
4 (41m 34s): Cause I'm very much, you know, my website Myers detox.com is very much about detoxing from heavy metals and chemicals. So that's part of my daily practice as well is doing not every day, every other day and IANA foot bath.
1 (41m 48s): Cool. And finally, what's just one thing that we should all ditch completely and replace with something healthier today. 4 (41m 58s): I think that people need to reassess their water. I think that people get that this foundational component of your health, a lot of people get it wrong for many reasons. And so I have an article on my website, like what kind of water should I drink? And I go into detail about, you know, drinking, like these kind of fashionable waters, like high pH water. And they're, they're really drinking water that has been treated with reverse osmosis. And that water is just not penetrating their cells. It's not hydrating them so they can just drink and drink and drink and drink and drink.
4 (42m 40s): And they're just parched and they have dry mouth still. And so, and then people drink water. That's out of like plastic bottles that can cause hormonal issues and hormonal imbalance. And then people drink, you know, flavored waters or waters with chemicals in it. So I, I think, or they drink water out of the faucet, which can have hundreds of chemicals and, and toxins in it. So I think that's, or they're using a water filter that just isn't adequate, like they're using like a pure or a Brita filter that's attached to their sink or the, the picture. A lot of those just are not enough.
4 (43m 21s): And so I, I think it's really worth people's time to do a deep dive on water and what they can do to clean up their water, but also to drink water that's more hydrating. And one trick I do is so I drink spring water in glass bottles and I add a few drops of a water called way back water. You can get it on way back water.com. I have no affiliate with them. I don't make any money if you buy this water, this is just what I use, cuz it, it it's laser enhanced water that makes whatever water you're drinking much more hydrating and has a lot of anti-aging properties in it as well.
4 (44m 2s): But, and you just get maximally hydrated cuz your body just doesn't work properly unless you're hydrated. Okay. And there a lot of people, different issues, fatigue and brain fog, a lot of health issues will disappear just by being properly hydrated. So I can't emphasize that enough. Yeah.
1 (44m 21s): Great. You have so many helpful articles written on these kinds of things and, and resources as well.
