In Canada, we are just a few months away from Legal Access to Medical Cannabis. Which can potentially go in a lot of different ways. Both good and bad. In this conversation, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about all things Weed. We get into the legal hurdles, the medical benefits and a lot of ways things could get pretty funny. Michael also shares what he sees is working the best so far. Si...

We all have an internal dialogue.   That voice that likes to rehearse conversations.   That voice that talks you into the best and worst decisions,   That voice that convincingly ensures you that it is actually you...   What if that voice is actually made up a dozen or so voices that come from deep evolutionary instincts, social conditioning, the people you dislike and the people you want to be li...

I have had a lot of questions about this program lately, so I  thought I would share the 'New and Improved' 10-week program with you. There are some new bells and whistles like live streaming video and audio for everyone online and a presentation program that is super engaging and easy to follow. If you are not feeling like cleansing right now, please share this with anyone you feel could use some...

This podcast is almost entirely about Michael's recent, and deeply personal experience of an Iboga ceremony. (imagine puking, praying, healing and learning for about 30 hours straight). Iboga is one of the strongest Entheogenic (Spiritual) plant medicines in the world. Listen in, if you are into this kind of a thing. What Michael has to share about Spiritual Freedom and Confidence may change your...

What is it like to live inside your mind? Is it chill in there, or is it scary and chaotic in there? Mindfulness and self-quantification are really big deal right now. Essentially mindfulness is a meditation on acceptance and presence. Spend a few minutes every morning and evening just appreciating the subtle qualities of being you. Self Quantification is the use of technology to measure your stat...

There are many ways to deepen your practice of Meditation, Qi Gong, Yoga or even Strength Training.

If you are interested in meditation - this is for you. This is my first in a series of Solo Blog-Casts - or short Solo podcasts. We will return shortly with Anthony Sanna very soon.

How life works is either weird or kind of funny sometimes. Take the erratic and unpredictable aspects of a person's mood or memory or sleep. What causes this randomness in a person? Is it stress, genetics or some scary psychiatric or neurological condition? Eeek! Did you know that most of how you think and feel is up to the health of your gut? What is your gut, you may ask?  Your gut includes your...

Mold is everywhere. It is literally in the air. Given some moisture, a lack of direct light, and a moderate temperature and you have the recipe for that weird green or black stuff that grows pretty much anywhere. Unlike the big fuzzy stuff that grows in the vegetable drawers of the very creative or very distracted, the mold that grows in the deeper, darker and wetter places is actually a very seri...

Everyone has had at least one pimple or blemish on their face.  In a culture that is a bit (or a lot) obsessed with physical appearance, acne is a game changer for some of us. How many physically beautiful people live deeply insecure lives because of a few zits. Then there are those of us who have acne for most of our adult lives. Then there are those with deep and painful cystic acne that can sca...

Body memory is a funny thing.    If you walk around in a cloud of hornets, expecting to be stung at any moment - you are basically having a panic attack. That is the body memory of anxiety.    We have all heard the expression "butterflies in the stomach". That may be the most commonly experienced embodied state.    Every extreme or chronic emotional state, injury or other cause of pain and every d...

Some of us, honestly, most of us hit a wall in life.    It is a wall of past feelings and a fundamental unwillingness to move on and continue to pretend that all is well.    It is at these times when your ability to relax deeply and sleep like a baby that determine your health and your future.   In this episode, Anthony Sanna continues a conversation with Michael Smith about the theory and practic...

Stress, trauma, pain, exhaustion and chronic illness all get stored, or 'remembered' in your body.    So do joy, elation, wonder and ease. The tricky part is to choose which state you feel and remember the most.   In this episode, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about just that. How do your day-to-day experiences and memories get stored in your body? Enter Neuro-Somatic Therapy; an evolutio...

This week Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about all things cholesterol and disease. In this episode, you will learn about cholesterol's many, many essential...

Cancer is a VERY scary word. It is an even scarier diagnosis.  As of 2016, the statistics are actually mind-bendingly terrifying. At present, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime. YIKES!!! In this conversation, Anthony Sanna talks with Dr. Michael Smith about what cancer is, how it happens and what to do about it. Throughout the podcast,  it beco...

One of the most challenging experiences we all have is feeling stuck.  Decisions seem impossible, creativity is a long lost friend and it seems like there is always too much to do. At some point it gets so distracting, exhausting and oppressive that we have no choice but to make some changes. The hardest and most important decision is the first on that you actually commit to completely.  In this c...

Life is full of surprises! Some good and some bad. There is an old Daoist saying, "The only constant in the Universe is change." Clearly, it is essential that we all get very good at changing directions in life. If changing directions doesn't make our lives better then we may need to take an even bigger risk and start from scratch.  In this episode, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about sta...

Science is amazing! Nothing has helped humanity move ahead in our evolution than science. We are lucky to be able to say that we are the recipients of the most rigorously tested, precise and powerful medications. Unfortunately, we are also the unwitting lab rats in the greatest experiment in all of history. Can the extensive use of powerful drugs with multiple and unpredictable side-effects actual...
