Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Caldera Lab, & Timeline Nutrition.

Have you ever wondered about the impact our ever-increasing reliance on technology has on our health and environment? This episode sheds light on this crucial issue along with repeat guest Darin Olien. Together, we unravel the complexities of electromagnetic frequencies and their implications on our health, from cellular stress responses to the foreboding reality of lowered testosterone levels. Darin also highlights the urgent need to shift towards a sustainable home and poses challenging but realistic alternatives to our daily living that will not only keep us healthier but reduce our carbon footprint and create healthier communities.

Fatal conveniences are the toxic products we routinely use and the unhealthy things we do that our culture and corporations have made us believe are safe and necessary for living well and efficiently.

These things—from deodorant, cosmetics, dental floss, and sunscreen to laundry detergent, air fresheners, carpets, and crayons to candles, tea bags, cell phones, and chewing gum—are ubiquitous in daily life . . . and they are wreaking havoc on our health and our planet.The environmental toxins found in these products create a cascade of problems, including chemical sensitivities, auto-immune issues, obesity, chronic health diseases, and more.

But it's not just about what we put in or on our bodies, we explore the profound impact our decisions can have on our personal growth and the world around us. Darin underscores the importance of connecting with others, caring for ourselves, and living purposefully. Dare to challenge fear, choose love instead, and transform your life one decision at a time.

Ever wondered how meditation can supercharge your performance and guide you to a life of joy? Join us for a transformative conversation with Emily Fletcher, Broadway star turned master of the Ziva Technique - a powerful blend of mindfulness, meditation, and manifesting. Emily takes us along on her enlightening journey from the bright lights of Broadway to the spiritual depths of India, sharing how she embraced meditation as an antidote for her insomnia and turned it into a tool to dramatically enhance her performance. 

Together, we delve into the profound healing power of meditation, exploring how it can address the root causes of stress, restore our nervous system, and even enhance our cognitive, sexual, and hormonal functions. What if you could reap the benefits of 90 minutes of restful sleep in just 15 minutes? Emily revels in the possibility, guiding us through her unique approach that promises just that. The discussion also illuminates how meditation can serve as a biohack for our brains, helping us adapt to the rapid changes in today's world.

In the final leg of our journey, Emily opens up about the magic of manifesting, the role of pleasure, and how to channel our sexual energy into creative power. We examine how to distinguish between addictive longings and intuitive desires, and the importance of detachment in the manifestation process.
