PR85: The IG Generation of Low Self Esteem, Injections, and Implants 12.04.2018

We've hit an interesting place in society where the masses are finding comfort by embracing, seeking, and desiring all things quick, fast, fake and phony. Can one really love themselves if they are willing to risk their health and life to alter their physical body based on a standard created by society? Of course, people have the right to do what they choose but what's important to remember is tha...

PR80: Everything You Think You Know About The Cold and Flu Season Issa Lie 28.02.2018

Fear, misinformation and vaccines. Everything you need to scare people into disregarding their natural instincts and willingly poisoning themselves.

Episode Notes [01:54] The importance of self and intuition [04:25] What you do mentally when you "prepare" for the...

PR79: Resolutions Be Damned - Why You’ll Still Be A This Summer 21.02.2018

Straight no chaser. This summer will be no different than the last because nothing in your life and routine is different than the last. You're on the same bs and that's why your health and body are still falling apart. You've now drawn a line in the sand and your actions basically confirm that staying comfortable and eating reckless means more to you than the vitality and longevity that comes with...

PR78: How To Help Your Stubborn Family Members Improve Their Health 15.02.2018

In the midst of our family constantly telling us how they have the right to eat and live the way they want (which is true), they forget to mention that their failing health will ultimately become someone else's problem. Burden is really the word, I mean let's not sugarcoat this. Whether physically, mentally or financially, when the health of those around us declines the implications are widespread...

PR77: What Are You Willing To Give Up For The Health You Want? 10.02.2018

Let's stop playing games. What are you willing to give up for the health you want? For the life YOU said you wanted. I'm challenging you to get serious about your vision and goals for 2018. You're either identifying with the loser or the winner in you and if you say you're a winner you must give up something or someone to win.

PR76: Fluoride - The Scientific Fraud That Has You Poisoning Yourself Daily 02.02.2018

"Fluoride is the top developmental neurotoxicant." The rabbit hole goes deep, my friends. For decades your government and public officials have known that fluoride was toxic and detrimental to your health. Yet they've not only sat in silence, they've intentionally misled the public by promoting fluoride as a safe and required option to protect your teeth. Fluoride has been linked to everything fro...

PR75: What Big Tobacco Can Teach You About The American Health Hustle 11.01.2018

When I think of the word mafia there's one thing that comes to mind, Big Tobacco. After over 50 years of knowingly lying and deceiving the public about the deleterious effects of smoking, the Tobacco industry is just now being held accountable in the court of law and admitting their detrimental actions. There are so many lessons that can be learned and so many clues that reflect how much of the sa...

PR74: Why Resolutions Won’t Help You Get Healthy This Year 04.01.2018

Sorry to inform you but those resolutions are more than likely not going to help you move the needle this year. Is that being negative? Of course not. But you DO want to be successful this year don't you? Well I'm trying to help a brotha or sista out and explain why just making resolutions similar to what you've done in the past won't be enough for you to achieve the health and wellness goals you'...

PR73: Hip Hop, Illness & Early Death 21.12.2017

What exactly is this culture and legacy we speak so highly of? We're dying people. And early. Throughout hip hop we not only see the promotion of degenerative lifestyles but we see the artists we've come to love succumb to illness, disease and often early death. How exactly can you move any movement, community or culture forward when our health is failing at the rates they are?

PR72: Why Black Folk Will Remain Sick & Stupid in 2018 18.12.2017

Let's clear one thing up before we go into 2018. Black folk WILL remain sick and stupid going into the new year, not by accident and not due to white supremacy or any other bs being told to you by your black favs. There are three concrete reasons why and the proof is in the pudding!

PR71: 3 Years Vegan, Why I’m Now Bowing Out 07.12.2017

*crickets* Yes you read it correctly. I think I've ridden this vegan train about as far as I'm willing to ride it and now's the time for me to hop off. Now I'm not in anyway suggesting you should do the same however, with all of what I have observed this year, I want to set a clear intention for Project Rook going into 2018.

PR70: Is Processed Food Healthy As Long As It’s Vegan? 30.11.2017

The debate is on. In one corner we have vegans who have taken on the role of food police and in the other we have meat eaters who say, wait just one minute, look in your own plate before questioning mines. So the pressing question is this: are processed foods healthy as long as it's vegan? I think you already know the answer.

PR69: How To Keep Your Waist and Your Peace This Holiday Season 22.11.2017

You know the drill. The holidays are upon us and it usually evolves a lot of unnecessary eating and stress. So your desire to keep your peace and your waist gets a lot more complicated when you've transitioned to a vegan or healthier lifestyle. What do you do when no one in your family wants to hear about why you're not eating "normal"? How do you handle them thinking you're not only being extreme...

PR68: Is Stress Hindering Your Health Progress? 15.11.2017

We're back! Here's my update on what's being going on for the past month or so. But more importantly, let's discuss the hidden culprit behind a lot of illness and disease....stress! Could it be that your health progress is been hindered by your inability to avoid and/or properly handle stress?

PR 67: Saturdays, Consciousness & Pastor Pork Chop 24.09.2017

Saturdays, Consciousness and Pastor Pork Chop? Ha, what a combination! I know people hate the correlation between health and church BUT it is an important one we can't afford to overlook. Even if you don't want to admit it, I'm sure you have noticed the shift in mass consciousness that's taking place. If you haven't I challenge you to look at your Saturdays and "Pastor Pork Chop" just a little bit...

PR66: Are Hoteps Bad For Black Folks Health? 13.09.2017

So what's the real deal with the Hoteps? Are they helping or hurting? Uniting or dividing? We've seen them mocked, ridiculed and dismissed by many of our mainstream black favorites but how do we break this thing down to see who is actually contributing to the health and wellness of the black community and who is promoting more pain and discord in the mind and body of the people? ---- www.hotepnati...

PR65: 3 Signs Religious Thinking Is Hindering Your Health Progress 31.08.2017

How do you know when your approach to health has gone down the religious highway to ? You know that place where you, often unintentionally, become a slave to your beliefs. Where you thought you were thinking and making decisions for yourself but actually you'd only been implementing the belief systems of others. There is no greater hindrance to your health progress than believing that anyone or an...

PR64: How To Know When It’s Time To Stop A Cleanse 23.08.2017

All month I've been promoting the #30DayFruitChallenge and now I think it's time to share what's been going on with me during this process. More importantly, I must share why I decided to end the cleanse early and what are some key things you must remember as you're cleansing and walking your own health journey.

PR63: Your Health Journey Is Not About Following Others 16.08.2017

It's Day 16 of the #30DayFruitChallenge and there have been a few changes I've made as my body goes through this process of cleansing. I also want to clarify [11:00] that despite me sharing my journey, what it is I believe and what it is I'm doing the goal here is not for you to follow me or anyone else. We can all act as guides, motivators, even inspirators to others but ultimately your health an...

PR62: #30DayFruitChallenge Update 10.08.2017
