EZ Conversations

Join me, Furkhan Dandia, on this enlightening episode of EZ Conversations, where I sit down with Trevor Nolan Bower, the visionary founder of Advanced Supps. Trevor and I delve deep into the world of supplements, unravelling the complexities and shedding light on the misconceptions that often cloud this industry.

We explore why so many people find themselves misinformed about supplements, discussing the role of marketing hype, conflicting research, and anecdotal evidence. Trevor shares his invaluable insights into how individuals can sift through the noise to make informed decisions about the supplements they choose to incorporate into their lives. What sets this conversation apart is Trevor's genuine commitment to transparency and consumer education. He shares the ethos behind Advanced Supps., emphasizing their dedication to prioritizing the well-being of their customers over profit margins. Through a blend of science, integrity, and customer-centric values, Trevor and his team strive to empower individuals to take control of their health journey.

Tune in as we uncover the strategies behind designing effective and trustworthy supplements, demystifying the process and empowering listeners to navigate the supplement maze confidently. Whether you're a seasoned supplement enthusiast or just beginning to explore this realm, this episode promises valuable insights that will revolutionize your approach to supplementation. Trevor Nolan Bower has spent the past decade creating over 70 sports supplements and helping people reach their fitness goals. Growing up with a lack of nutrition and fitness education and no mentors to guide the way, Bower felt lost amid the conflicting information, gimmicks, and influencers out there. Bower later found himself at the helm of a supplement business with the power to change how the supplement industry worked. He offered transparency and communication, two simple yet hard-to-find virtues in the supplement business. In the time since Bower has fostered a community of 10,000 individuals who have come together for one shared goal - to be better tomorrow than they are today. He went from mistrusting and truly hating the supplement industry to wanting the entire world to know what supplements can do. Bower’s mission is to provide the information, community, and supplements to enhance everyone’s health and fitness journey. He makes himself available to all those who need him and encourages you to reach out whenever you feel stuck.

Join me, Furkhan Dandia, on another episode of EZ Conversations, where I sit down with David Peralta to explore the profound twists and turns of his spiritual journey.

In a profoundly introspective conversation, David opens up about the transformative moments that led him to pursue a spiritual path. We delve into the roots of his spiritual awakening, the unexplainable pull that drew him towards a life-changing experience at an ashram. David shares the challenges he faced, the lessons he learned, and their profound impact on his outlook on life.

As we navigate the intricacies of David's odyssey, we explore stepping into one's true calling. David recounts the pivotal moments when he discovered his purpose and how it fueled his passion for serving others. His journey is a testament to the idea that sometimes, the true essence of life unfolds when we are brave enough to embark on the unconventional.

In this soul-stirring episode, Furkhan and David engage in a thought-provoking discussion about the universal quest for meaning. They reflect on the shared human experience of seeking the divine within ourselves and others. The conversation goes beyond the surface, exploring the interconnectedness that binds us all on this cosmic journey.

So, grab your headphones and join us for a captivating episode transcending the boundaries of everyday conversations. Please tune in, and let's explore the profound mysteries of life together.

David Peralta is The Soul Centred Founder's spiritual teacher, coach, and creator. Since 2019, he’s been helping impact-driven entrepreneurs build 6- and 7-figure businesses by aligning themselves with their soul’s purpose.

He’s spent over 20 years studying Zen Buddhism, eastern spirituality, and Christianity and learned the science of how to awaken the soul directly from a spiritual master named Sri Kaleshwar in Southern India.

For years, David worked as a sought-after SEO and content marketing consultant. But despite the professional success, he needed more fulfillment than he'd always envisioned for himself. This spilled over into his family life, where he struggled to be the loving husband and father he knew I could be.

But after a series of profound spiritual awakenings that led him straight to Christ, David realized that he needed to stop living a life based on fear and false expectations and start living a life centred on the soul. Once he began to do so, he experienced miraculous success across all areas of his life—and a complete transformation in his relationships.

Now, he helps others to open their hearts and align themselves with the wisdom and power of the soul—so they can create a lasting impact and become who they are meant to be.

In this week's episode of EZ Conversations, your host Furkhan Dandia engages in a captivating discussion with the distinguished psychologist and author, Stan Goldberg.

He emphasizes the importance of understanding them as a genuine aspect of aging that deserves careful consideration. Listeners are invited to challenge preconceived notions and approach Senior Moments with empathy and respect.

The episode's heart revolves around practical strategies and insights to prevent Senior Moments.

Dr. Stan Goldberg is an expert in the areas of aging, human information processing, change, loss, and end-of-life issues. He is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Speech, Language, and

Hearing Sciences at San Francisco State University, and his writing has received 26 national and international awards. He is available for workshops and presentations worldwide

([email protected]).

For 30 years, he trained clinicians, taught graduate students, and served the communicative needs of children, adolescents, and adults. For the last ten years, he counselled caregivers and seniors

without charge. The practical guidance he provided to caregivers and seniors can be found in two books, Leaning Into Sharp Points: Practical Guidance and Nurturing Support for Caregivers and Loving, Supporting, and Caring for the Cancer Patient.

As someone living with cancer, he became a bedside hospice volunteer and, for eight years, served dying children, adolescents, and adults, as well as their families. His experiences as a hospice volunteer were contained in his internationally award-winning memoir, Lessons for the Living. Suggestions for counselling the dying are contained in the final chapter of Counseling in Communication Disorders

His research and clinical practice led to breakthroughs in treating communication disorders in children, adolescents, and adults. He is a featured contributor for PsychologyToday.com, focusing on aging problems. New articles appear monthly on PsychologyToday.com, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

In his latest book, Preventing Senior Moments: How to Stay Alert into Your 90s and Beyond (Roman & Littlefield, October 2023), he opens a window into how we process information and

offers insights into the direction our aging brain is moving, and how to break its descent. Through the use of scientifically-based strategies, he provides readers with the tools they need to simply,

easily, and independently prevent senior moments that range from forgetting appointments to becoming disorientated.

While still writing on the issues he is known for—aging, loss, change, and human information processing—he has started a new career as a fiction writer. In his non-writing time, he sculpts wood and stone, crafts wooden flutes, and acts silly with his two granddaughters.
