Ronan Levy is a pioneer in the therapeutic psychedelics industry. He is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Field Trip Health. With centres opening across North America, Field Trip Health helps people to heal and heighten their engagement with the world via the healing modality of psychedelics.

“There’s doubt about it. We are in a psychedelic renaissance,” says Ronan, referring to the recent dramatic realignment of mainstream views around traditional medicine. Calling it “a massive change in the global zeitgeist”, this paradigm shift goes beyond health and wellness, reflecting a change in how we view emotions and even spirituality.

Contributing heavily to this revolution is the mental health crisis that had already been on the rise for years but was further aggravated by the pandemic for the past year-and-a-half.

Citing “significant humanitarian and economic implications”, Ronan says that “depression and anxiety disorders are going to become the leading global burden of disease, meaning they will cost the global economy more than any other disease out there, primarily from lost productivity.”

With these realities in mind, Ronan dives deep into the history, science, and psychological and pro-social benefits of psychedelic-assisted therapy.

He speaks on the common, decades-long misconceptions surrounding this subject, and the groundbreaking research done on ketamine and psilocybin that, if rediscovered in the world of conventional medicine, may become a key factor in eradicating not just the current mental health crisis, but many of the social and environmental ills we face today as well.

Powerful Quotes by Ronan Levy

Psychedelics open people up to healing; but, the healing really comes from pairing [psychedelics] with therapy.

We are in a psychedelic renaissance. There’s no doubt about it.

There is wonder all around us. There is enough to keep your mind satisfied and engaged in the one-foot area surrounding you if you really open yourself up to it.

Nina Mullen is the Co-Founder of Hilma. The brand was launched in 2019 with three products, each of which covers its own unique category: 1) An immune support blend; 2) An upset stomach relief for occasional heartburn, antacid, and digestion; and 3) A head tension relief.

With more and more research emerging around the long-term risks associated with traditional over-the-counter brands, says Nina, “we’re at a specific moment where mainstream consumers are more aware of the risks and just want to find holistic solutions.”

She adds that not only naturopathic doctors, but even conventional medical professionals are starting to take notice of these disconcerting trends associated with Big Pharma.

Natural, clean label products have taken center-stage in virtually every consumer category, from consumables, beauty, household cleaners, and personal care. However, the medicine cabinet continues to be stuck in the past with most being stocked with the usual OTC legacy brands like Airborne, Emergen-C, or Tums.

Hilma aims to disrupt this area by introducing preventative, long-term, and all-natural herbal options for everyday health needs to the mainstream consumer.

Key Highlights

• Nina speaks on Hilma’s overarching goal to change mainstream consumer preferences when it comes to what goes into the typical medicine cabinet.

• How is Hilma educating the public and providing natural remedies for immunity, digestive health, and head tension?

• What exactly does “herbal” mean, what should consumers be aware of (and steer clear of) when searching for a good herbal product?

• Nina reflects on the road to founding Hilma alongside her partners Lily and Hilary.

Powerful Quotes by Nina Mullen

We’re at a specific moment where mainstream consumers are more aware of the risks [of Big Pharma medications] and just want to find holistic solutions. And by “holistic” I mean solutions that obviously work in the moment, but really help set your body up for the future and actually get to the root issue rather than going with a band-aid fix.

Unfortunately, immune health is not one thing. There is not one silver bullet that is going to solve your immune system, boost your immune system. Your immune system is physically an integrated system that is a series of aspects of your body. It’s not one organ.

Herbal medicine is really ahead of its time in terms of its integrated approach to settling your stomach and dealing with gut health issues.

Our outer world is a direct reflection of our inner world, and optimal health is all about adopting the right habits that support those two worlds. It all starts with the self-awareness and openness to change embodied in Ayurvedic medicine.

It’s a healing system which teaches us that change is an intrinsic quality in nature, and so why shouldn’t we see that reality of continuous change in ourselves? In other words, Ayurveda teaches us to turn to nature for wisdom on how we, as human beings, should discern what’s best for our life.

When we experience symptoms of any kind, whether internally or externally, it is an indicator that we are not in harmony with the world around us, or with ourselves. From how we’ve been eating and sleeping to how we’ve been managing our relationships and career—all of these things either support or weaken our health.

Listen in and learn how we can adopt the principles of Ayurveda to take full control over our life and achieve optimal health.

Dr. Avanti is an internationally recognized speaker and thought leader in Ayurveda. She works with women (and men) who are ready to take back their health and replenish their mental, physical, and emotional energy so they can live a vibrant life filled with more joy, meaning and purpose.

• How can Ayurvedic medicine better help us understand and become proactive with what’s happening inside of us?

• What are some of the most common seemingly small daily habits that are, in fact, detrimental to our health?

Powerful Quotes by Dr. Avanti Kumar Singh

Self-awareness is the first step when it comes to health, wellness, and healing.

Ayurveda comes down to the central idea of staying in harmony with nature. When we are in harmony with nature, we will have optimal health and a vibrant life.

Trevor Blattner is the founder of Redefining the Top 1%. He promotes the concept of Shepherd Leadership—a modern form of leadership that encourages leaders of all sorts to guide, support, and uplift their people.

Shepherd Leadership is an enlightened approach that Trevor developed over 20 years of research, coaching, and expertise. It is a model that breaks free of the antiquated and regressive top-down style of leadership that has been seen for years as the only standard of leadership worth adopting.

From leading in the corporate and military world to leading in our day-to-day lives, Trevor does a deep dive into the qualities that exemplify the best leaders in the modern world.

These qualities include embracing radical responsibility, recognizing and optimizing your higher self, managing your ego and embracing authentic humility, strategically designing your reality, committing to mastery, being still and know, and adopting a growth mindset.

Key Highlights

• Why do newer generations no longer respond to traditional top-down leadership—and what can we replace it with?

• Is leadership innate, and do we each have a “limit” on our potential leadership capacity?

• Trever describes the leader versus follower dynamic and why we still have a responsibility to lead even if we’re not being assigned the title “leader”.

• Trevor explains why humility is the most important quality for leaders to embody.

Powerful Quotes by Trevor Blattner

Humility, self-awareness, and the ability to have compassion for those people in your team are some of the most important parts of being a leader in the modern era.

Even if we are a “follower” in our given role, I don’t know that we’re off-the-hook in terms of our responsibility to still lead because leading ourselves is where the rubber meets the road anyway.

One of, if not the most, important skill as a leader is to recognize your own weaknesses and fill those gaps.

Today’s conversation is a sobering deep dive into the highly controversial but crucial subject that is the COVID-19 vaccine, featuring Jonathan Baktari MD.

Dr. Baktari is the CEO of e7 Health, a Las Vegas-based company focused on preventative health and wellness. He kicks off the conversation with a high-level explanation of exactly what a vaccine is. The goal of a vaccine, he says, is to take advantage of the immune system’s strengths by “tricking” the body.

The body is injected with a portion of a germ, whether that germ is a virus or bacteria. The dose is small enough to get the body to detect the germ, thereby training the immune system to become efficient at fighting it while minimizing the damage it could have done to the body if the germ were “whole”.

Dr. Baktari and Chase go on to unpack the trickiest questions the world is now faced with as in navigating the ever-evolving COVID-19 crisis—from how to interpret official data, to the issue of personal freedom versus the common good, to the under-addressed and overlooked public health issue that is a lack of education on prevention.

Key Highlights

• Dr. Baktari explains why he believes that vaccines are “the ultimate holistic medication”.

• Chase and Dr. Baktari discuss correlation versus causation vis-à-vis official data published by public health agencies.

• Why is it so hard for the majority of the population to embrace a culture of prevention via the promotion of healthy habits?

• Dr. Baktari gives his thoughts on how fear or other strong emotions toward a drug impact its effects when taken.

Powerful Quotes by Dr. Jonathan Baktari

• I’m always amazed by people who say, “I only believe in holistic medicine. I never want to take a drug.” Those people should be running to get a vaccine because it is the ultimate holistic medication.

• One of the things that I learned early on in medicine is that the plural of a lot of anecdotes is not data.

• We’ve gotten really good at creating drugs. But prevention is probably a lot easier and a lot cheaper.

Doing better and being better requires a mindset shift and a lifestyle shift. Not only that, but it requires failure. 

When we look at challenges, failure and loss as gifts, we will inevitably experience immense growth and revolution because what stands before you becomes the path to your zone of genius.

After experiencing gut-wrenching failure, loss, and debt as a high-level entrepreneur, Mike knows what rock bottom feels like… but that didn’t stop him from learning and trying again. Now, his business has done over $300 million in sales and he helps others get unstuck, find their zone of genius, and fuel momentum that will launch their business to new heights.

Powerful Quotes by Mike Zeller

I’m very intentional to utilize all the suffering I can for good.

I’m deep in my purpose and I wouldn’t be that way without the failures in the past.

Science shows us that sex and intimacy are some of the most bonding human experiences of our lives. So… what happens when religion gets thrown into the mix?

Kat Harris is here to have an eye-opening discussion about boundaries, consent, monogamy, infidelity, shame, and most prominently, waiting until marriage to have sex.

After growing up in the south as a Christian in the peak of the purity movement, Kat moved to New York City and noticed that her thoughts about sex and singleness began to change. She began to question the word of God and why she’d been waiting until marriage to have sex.

As more and more women of faith become burdened with sexual shame, feeling unequipped to confidently explore both the dating world and the world of singleness, Kat is on a mission to free them of their shackles and help them discover their own sexual freedom.

Listen in to gain insight into her journey with dating, desire, and sex, and to learn if (after all her research and inquisition) she’s still waiting until marriage.

• What happens when we start to question belief systems, the interpretation of the word of God, and the way we’re brought up.

• The fascinating science behind the power of sex, intimacy, and human connection.

Powerful Quotes by Kat Harris

As humans, we’re created holistically. So, perhaps just as my work isn’t my identity, my sexuality isn’t who I am but it’s an integrated part of who I am that doesn’t need to be shut off until ‘one day when’.

We end up worshipping the Bible and we lose sight of who God is.

Whatever your boundary is or isn’t, you are right. You have that permission.

How we organize our day, the tasks we do at night, our bedtime routine, and our bedding all impact the quality of our sleep. 

We all know a person (or two or three) who brag about being able to run on 3-4 hours of sleep… but why? For Susana Saeliu, sleep is the foundation of her day… and for good reasons! “If I get a good night’s sleep, I perform best the next day and I want to be the best version of myself every day,” she says. Do you agree?

Susana is an adrenaline junkie, but she also values rest and relaxation. As an entrepreneur, car racing enthusiast, and EDM fan, she’s no stranger to a fast-paced life of excitement. Though, to be able to keep up with such a demanding life, you need high-quality sleep and bedding that’s perfect for you.

There are times when I try to cram as much as I can in before bedtime because I feel that if I knock these things out, I will have a good night’s sleep without worrying, but because I’m rushing into all these tasks… I find myself then having a hard time falling asleep.

Every child has a dream of what they’ll be when they grow up. For Jesse Bradley, his dream was to be a professional athlete. His dream came to fruition, but at a price he never imagined he’d have to pay. 

During his time traveling the world, he landed in Zimbabwe playing professional men’s soccer. Though, medication meant to protect him from malaria brought on a brutal bout of illness, ending his dream career. “… and yet, it was the greatest growth period of my life,” he says, “I was fighting for my life for one year, it took 10 years to fully recover.”

When it seems like your life is falling apart, what do you rely on? For many, it’s hope, yet half of Americans experience hopelessness.

The good news is there are simple steps you can take to overcome hopelessness and find the light at the end of the tunnel. Jesse Bradley is here to share what he’s learned from his inspiring journey of illness, recovery, forgiveness, and resilience.

Powerful Quotes by Jesse Bradley

When you feel like everything’s stripped away, you know, you wrestle with that question “Well, who am I and what am I all about? Where am I going? What are my options?” … and I think that’s where you grow the most.

When that, in the deepest part of my being, is there, that connection, that love from God, that seemed to rescue me from those options of anything I could do to harm myself.

Hope is much more of a foundation than a feeling.
