Today my wild and wonderful guest is Colin Jackson. If you are looking for an online health coach to kickstart your 2021 or you want to join Colin’s weekly online breathing classes please contact him directly. In his return to the podcast, Colin (Instagram @colindjacks) shares his 2020 journey and discusses what it was like expanding his fitness facility in early 2020, then being locked down and deemed nonessential, and evolving his business into the online world. If you or someone you know had to say goodbye to something you loved in 2020 this episode is definitely worth a listen. My guest shares how having a solid footing in his connection with God/Creator, tools like psilocybin mushrooms, and access to some remote backcountry wilderness afforded Colin the ability to face his fears, surrender, and accept some hard truths in 2020. In the process, he was able to get more clear on what he is and that he is much bigger than Colin the health coach, husband, and entrepreneur. We also discuss Colin’s spiritual practices and cultural background as both Cree First Nation and as a “White” man of European descent, and how that has lead Colin to gain a deeper and nuanced understanding of the illusion of separation that is highly palpable as we start 2021. His story may be helpful for those that see themselves as victims of top-down policy that impinge on basic rights and freedoms using the reclaiming of indigenous lands as a case for conversation. We finish the episode with Colin’s dream for the Earth which is one focused on harmony. Enjoy the show! Please download, subscribe, rate, and review this episode to help others find it. Thanks!

For the last show of 2020 I have compiled some of my guest’s answers to the question I ask at the end of each episode, “What is your wildest dream for the Earth?” A bit of a heavy question to drop on someone at the end of a conversation but this show embraces topics that carry some weight. I am grateful for my guest’s inspiring and hopeful answers. Big ideas lead to big change and after a year of doing this podcast, it is clear that we need some change if we want to live in harmony with ourselves, others, and Mother Earth once again. Some of the core themes explored in this episode are personal development, self-actualization, opportunity, unity, harmony, stewardship, environmentalism, and nature connection. I could not think of a more beautiful way to wrap up the first year of the podcast than to share this episode and my wildest dream for the Earth with you all at the end. Thanks to all who have subscribed or downloaded an episode over the past year and to those of you that continue to share content from rewildmybio.com with friends.

My guest is the wild and wonderful Zach McCready one of the original outlaws of health. You can find Zach at King of Swords on his blog and sign up for his newsletter to keep up with Zach’s upcoming book and all things Humble Warrior Clothing. An amazing company that you can support if you are looking to help those less fortunate this holiday season.  Head over to the show notes at rewildmybio.com/starvethebeast for more info on how to support this worthy initiative in London Ontario Canada. In this episode, We discuss what has changed in the world of outlawed health topics since Zach and I last podcasted together years ago. We also dive into how corporate interests often trump democracy and community level grassroots movements by dissecting the rise of the cannabis industry.  We discuss the role the Chinese Communist Party has played in the current pandemic and how something does not sit right with the whole Bat Soup narrative we are spoon-fed… pun intended! Whether you have been dissecting and digesting pandemic information with a scientific lens or you are listening to and following your gut, all signs point to corruption, greed, and pure evil pulling the strings in government, media, academia, and within institutions like the WHO and the CDC. That is of course if you are privy to the idea that capitalism and democracy are dead and the pandemic has been in a sense planned as a means to usher in tighter government control in the Western world. Sit back roll up a spliff and take a red pill of hard truths as you listen to this timely and important episode. But don’t worry this is far from a doom and gloom podcast, my guest comes equipped with resources galore and practical tips to help you rely less on big brother and at the same time starve the beast and make strong, free, and healthy local communities. Please check out the show notes for tons of resources to fill you in on some of the back stories of this alternative narrative that is being censored out of existence on the internet… but act fast before this podcast gets “fact checked” and erased by Dr. Evil… I mean Bill Gates minions. Enjoy the show! Topics Discussed: Zach and Shawn discuss podcast they co-hosted together in the past and Outlawed health topics today; how Zach became involved in health activism and GMO‘s; Zach’s book king of swords unleashing sacred masculinity; top down approach and false leaders versus grassroots movements; The woke left and modern day authoritarian policies through academia and science; The theory of 2020; The shadow war going on in the model citizen of health in 2020; how corporations influence laws; how the main stream narrative focusses on turning people against one another; how to starve the beast, embrace minimalism find contentment with owning less things; Invest charities and not for profits that you agree with; pay less taxes and buy local; grow your own food; Humble Warrior Clothing and donating to homeless; Buying second hand clothes; The great reset and the great awakening; Finding someone who knows how to grow food and hunt; Zach’s wildest dream for the Earth is one that we stay open to new stories and myths.

My Wild and Wonderful guest today is Drake Larsen of Three Ridges Ecological Farm. We are also joined with long time friend and contributor to the show Dr. Richard Vuksinic ND. In this episode, we take a laid-back and informal approach to a complex topic; the ever evolving world of Ecological Farming. This was a great episode to kick off a topic I believe has the power to not only feed humanity but heal the Earth and all living beings in the process. We hope to have Drake back to dive deeper into some of the topics we discuss and plenty of others as Drake has a wealth of knowledge and experience in all things rewilding and living in connection with the Earth. In short, we cover Drake’s fascinating biography and how nature immersion from a young age and shooting a banded goose lead way to a life of travel and adventure, conservation and regeneration, and most notably re-connection. Through reconnection, Drake has been afforded the opportunity to meet his wife Sara and create the best ecological farm in Canada, but also cultivate a greater sense of self and purpose in the process. Drake shares his knowledge on topics from carbon cycling, Silvopasture, the dark side of aspects of the vegan life way, views on carbon taxes, and how to raise animals to live their full biological expectation. Not to mention we discuss in depth how the lamb raised on his farm lived to make them taste so good. We close with Drakes’s wildest dream for the Earth which centers around his “3R’s” – Reconnection, Resilience, and Regeneration. Please enjoy the show and share it with a friend! Listen, download, and subscribe via the platform of your choice! Topics Discussed: Full moon Halloween lamb roast; Biological expectation of sheep and ecological farming; Drake’s story returning to the land; cultivating oneself through working with animals and the local landscape; Drake’s work into soil health advocacy in Iowa; Why ecological farming and regenerating soil is needed to feed the world in the future; Sustainable agriculture Drake’s childhood nature experiencing lead to his research work in conservation and running a hunting outfitting business in Iowa; shooting a banded Goose and working with the Hudson Bay Project; Missing the boat on conservation agriculture and regenerating local ecosystem; How animal husbandry and raising livestock can be part of restoring microbial diversity; Silvopasture as a regenerative practice; Building ecosystems and food productivity in ecological farming; Resilience for productivity and benefit to future generations as a guidepost for an ecological farmer; monoculture, modern-day meat-eating and downfalls of the vegan narrative; Enhancing the carbon cycling via soil and native grass growth via ruminant animal grazing; Microbial diversity from ecological farms cycle carbon better than monoculture farms; Healthy soil aggregates for roots and creating habitat; Capturing water via Elemental Ecosystems; Changing farming and land management practices to move carbon into the ground via slow pools over taxing human made carbon emissions; Soil growth as solution to climate change; Barriers to transitioning or creating an ecological farm, cost, change of productivity mindset and going with the flow; Drake’s wildest dream for the Earth is one of his Three R’s – Reconnection, Resilience, and Regeneration.

It is very possible that these elements will try to communicate with you during or after this meditation to help you with your day or life questions you have been reflecting on. Do your best to listen for them and their guidance and direction. In this meditation, we will be using specific breathing techniques to help us connect with each of the elements.

This is a special installment for the Rewild My Bio Podcast because it is not like our regular episodes. This is the first of many meditations prerecorded live in the studio to help you remain balanced and centered throughout your day. Please download and save this episode in your podcast platform of choice to come back to it as you need it. If you want to receive a copy of this meditation in MP3 format then please sign up for the newsletter at rewildmybio.com This guided meditation is a 25 minute seated practice to help you ground yourself in the Earth element by embodying the mountain archetype. Mountain meditations can help us ground ourselves and access inner strength and stability when we are faced with stressful and difficult circumstances. By becoming the mountain we are more able to witness the events in our life with non-judgmental awareness rather than being reactive to our experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Unmoving peace, centeredness, stoicism, and eternal beauty are some core qualities this meditation explores. Through creating and visualizing a mountain and merging with that mountain this meditation allows us to witness the storms in our life as the mountain witnesses the changing of the seasons and weather; with unmoving peace, strength, and knowing that all things in nature change. All meditations begin with mindful attention to the breath, body scan and release of tension, and an acknowledgment of the elements of air, fire, water, earth, and ether. There is time for silence throughout and at the end of the meditation.

We are discussing the wild and wonderful world of fermented food today on the Rewild My Bio podcast. A big part of my journey into rewilding stems from my passion for fermented foods. My passion for making sauerkraut and kombucha turned into a profession in 2015 when I co-founded Booch Organic Kombucha an Ontario craft kombucha brewery in London Ontario Canada. When I started my PhD it was to research the health benefits of fermented food, however my passion fermented into nature connection and the role bacteria play for not only human health but the health of the Earth. Join me in this episode as I go through parts of a lecture I delivered at the Guelph Organic Conference and Trade Show.

I describe how the N95 the only mask designed to protect the wearer along with some of the harms of prolonged N95 mask wearing. Post production note: At the time of release masks became mandated in Elgin County.

On this episode I emerge from the wilderness and back “on the grid” after a couple of wild and wonderful weeks up on the LAND. I give a podcast update in regards to some logistics with delivery of the podcast and in short will be posting every two weeks instead of weekly. This is happening as a way to focus on my Forest Therapy research and working on the LAND. I also discuss some changes to the social media channels used for the dissemination of this show and discuss some new ways the Rewild My Bio community can interact as well as stay current with adventures from the LAND. Adventures that can only happen once the battery in your vehicle goes dead and you get the chance to fully immerse in nature. Being away for most of the protests currently taking place I take the opportunity to comment on the social justice and a video I watched that resonates with me. Enjoy the episode! Please leave a rating and review and download and share past episodes. Speak Player: Topics Discussed: Posting of episodes is every two weeks while Shawn focuses on PhD research, writing, and learning from the LAND. No more Rewild My Bio on Facebook, New Rewild My Bio channel on Telegram. Shawn shares stories from the LAND hosting family and friends, working on an outhouse, fishing, vehicle breakdowns, encounters with a black bear cub, and accidentally shooting himself in the testicles with bear spray. Finish with attention to a YouTube video from Hotep Jesus that resonated with Shawn regarding Black Lives Matter. Check out the show resources for links! Next weeks episode.

My guest this week is the wild and wonderful Dr. Brennan Vogel. Brennan is a professor in the centre for environment and sustainability at Western University. His research focus is in the area of Climate Change Adaptation. In this episode we discuss a recent paper Brennan published titled, “Institutions, Indigenous Peoples, and Climate Change Adaptation in the Canadian Arctic” published in GeoJournal. It is a launching point for our discussion and opens the door to a philosophical conversation on how to proceed out of economic lockdown and into a world where voices and perspectives of marginalized people have a platform and means to make policy change through grassroots movements. Movements that end systemic oppression and environmental destruction. A timely episode recorded for World Environment Day which was June 5th, I decided to postpone the release of this episode as an act of solidarity with Black Lives Matter and to honour Blackout Tuesday. This episode was recorded before the murder of George Floyd. I believe it is timely because of the focus on how language shapes the world around us and how when it comes to climate change and living with the cycles of nature, an indigenous world view and the Inuit principles we discuss offer solutions to mitigate human made greenhouse gasses as well as adapt to climate change in a way that traditional patriarchal structures and systems have been reluctant to incorporate… well until now perhaps. Topics Discussed: Brennan’s interest in environmental issues; Brennan’s professional research in climate change adaptation; Philosophy of adapting to climate change as opposed to mitigating; The idea of carbon taxes; incentivizing change rather than penalizing change; Shutting down the economy to fundamentally change the resources we use to create energy; The indigenous worldview of climate change for the Inuit people; Purpose of Brennan’s recent publication; Indigenous groups are leading the way with grassroots changes for the environment across Canada; Group discussion on acknowledging privilege; The economic shut down data on environmental impact; Concluding questions.

My guest today is the wild and wonderful Shawn Solo… long lost brother to Han. I couldn’t resist the cheesy pun. This episode is a solo episode where I draw the line between conspiracy theory and critical social theory and how the two can be mistaken for one another. Critical theory seeks to disrupt and challenge the status quo and create change through emancipation and acknowledging a reality mediated by power relations that are socially and historically constituted. How is this relevant to the current pandemic? Biomedical dominance within healthcare, corporate news media misinformation, and world government and elitist agenda’s have together suppressed the rights and freedoms of many in face of a viral pandemic. Or so I see it. Do they have a right to lock us in our homes when the outcome could be more harmful than the viral sickness we isolated from? I like to live my life in an informed way so that I enjoy a lifestyle that makes me happy. This has lead to me valuing control over my body and natural medicine, being honest when I speak and desiring others to do the same, and democracy where elected officials are not bought and paid for by billionaires and multi-national corporations… So yeah, I have 99 problems and the handling of this lockdown is one. Buckle up and join me as I get this lockdown life off my chest. Enjoy the show! Topics Discussed: Intro; I’m not a conspiracy theorist; negative mental health as downside of physical distancing; I Am Not Afraid Of You.com; Nature deficit disorder and horizontal gene transfer; the economic impact on small business and health; stopping the economy for vulnerable people and repercussions for vulnerable people; critical theory vs. conspiracy theory; Censorship and Modern day book burning; The theory of 2020; system’s biology, Natural and functional medicine as opposed to the status quo biomedical model; Non-native EMF’s; Importance of Health Science literacy; Fear, nature connection, and community cohesion; Resources: Website: The London Real TV Rose/Icke 3 on The London Real Paper: Isolation negative health Book: Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Child Illness By Dr. Tom Cowan Book: EMF’d by Dr. Joseph Mercola Movie: V For Vendetta Connect with Shawn www.rewildmybio.com Instagram: @rewildmybio Facebook: @rewildmybio Twitter: @shawnslade LinkedIn: @shawnslade Sign up for the Rewild My Bio Newsletter by visiting the website here.
