What if you could live a life of abundance, happiness, health, wealth, and love? In this episode, you’ll meet an extraordinary person who grew up believing that he will be nothing other than ordinary. You’ll witness how a boy with a “broken brain” overcame his learning difficulties to go on and achieve his life dreams and become a world expert in accelerated learning. We’ll dive deep into the way our minds are programmed and what forms our beliefs, values, and identity, and how we can reconfigure our brains to alter the limiting beliefs that are holding us back. Not only can recalibrating the individual mind be beneficial for our mental state and accelerate us towards our goals in life, it can also control our biochemistry. Negative and positive emotions can have a significant impact on the expression of disease. Your mind is everything. What you think you become.

Break free of the everyday mundane and start living a life of purpose and fulfillment. In this episode, we’ll hear from a selection of inspiring individuals who have broken free from modern systems to discover a life that is fulfilling. We’ll hear from John Robbins, a man who was groomed to follow in his father’s footsteps, but chose to walk away from multi-billion dollar company. Marie Forleo will speak about a life of taking risks, chasing a career and a life doing what she loves, not just what pays the bills. You’ll meet Sean Stephenson, who was born with a rare bone disorder, resulting in a life filled with physical and emotional pain. Amidst those trials, he found clarity and chose to share his purpose with the world. The modern world may try to define your purpose, but only you truly can. Your unique purpose must be the thing that gets you out of bed and causes you to show up to each moment like you’re really meant to be there. Uncover your gift and find your unique purpose.

Could living in a state of fear and stress be contributing to illness? Is there a link between stress and cancer? Can you heal your body through controlling your mind and breath? In this episode, you’ll hear how Chris Wark went from fear-driven cancer patient to confident cancer survivor and thriver, using the power of nutrition and breaking negative thoughts and emotions. Through his anecdotal story, you’ll discover how your fear and stress affect your health, how it inhibits your immune system and can down regulate genes, and how your body was never designed to be in chronic fear and stress. We’ll dive deep into how living in a state of stress can cause a negative physiological response in the body and how stress hormones inhibit the body’s ability to effectively use body fat as fuel. And we’ll teach you how to diminish fear and stress to regain power with breathwork, and various other lifestyle techniques, such as meditation, yoga, and daily rituals.

Could the first step to changing your life be as simple as what you put in your mouth? Should you eliminate gluten? How can you heal the gut and autoimmune conditions naturally? What’s the best diet for long-term health and vitality? In this episode, we’ll begin by taking a closer look at the evolution of our modern diet and, in particular, how our quest for the perfect, durable crop has resulted in a distorted version of a once-humble grain. But wheat and gluten can’t be all to blame, it is the culmination of what we eat and the way we eat in the 21st century that has really lead us astray. We’ll also dive deep into the role of the gut in terms of overall health and its impact on the explosion of autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, crohn’s, fibromyalgia, and celiac disease. Plus, witness how a young boy from war-torn Serbia went on to become one of the world’s greatest tennis players, simply through changing what he fueled his body with.

Michael Pollan (author of "Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation") told the filmmaker, Maggie Beidelman, that her gluten intolerance could all be in her head. She half agreed with him, because the number of Americans buying into the $10.5 billion "gluten-free" industry is disturbing. There is so much more to learn about wheat - and how it has changed in just the last couple of generations - before we completely sign it off. In this film, Ms. Beidelman journeys from farm to mill to table on a quest for answers about gluten intolerance and a hunt for the perfect loaf, one she can eat without getting sick. Along the way, she makes some unexpected discoveries about crucial changes to the wheat itself and how it is processed and fermented. Let’s just say that bread as you know it, is not what you think.

Synopsis In the early 20th century, mythologist Joseph Campbell discovered a pattern hidden in every story ever told and he called it “the hero’s journey.” His narrative archetype has inspired thousands of books and movies, from The Wizard of Oz to Star Wars. A truly inspirational film, Finding Joe examines Campbell's work and his own life. As you slay dragons and uncover treasures, you just may find that the holy grail you seek is closer than you think. Maybe even within you?

It’s the poison rebranded as a health aid. For generations, fluoride has been associated with healthy bones and teeth, and added to water. Fluoride compounds are everywhere, from non-stick pans and pizza boxes to water resistant clothes. But it’s only good for us in quantities that are surprisingly easy to exceed. Above that it can be toxic. In 2010 the World Health Organization classified fluoride, alongside asbestos and arsenic, as one of the ten chemicals that pose the greatest risk to human health. And even at low doses, its toxicity is worrying scientists. It can remain in the body for years and is transmitted to babies via breastfeeding. In this film we reveal how, in the 1930s, fluoride was rebranded as being good for us and investigate some of the health risks associated with it.

In the final episode of The Road to Dharma, we finish at the Sacred Ganga River, where we began. The riders reflect on their journey and the idea of freedom has set in fully. In their inner journey, they learn it is their responsibility for choosing how to see the world. To embrace this power, It takes courage, discipline and strength. Something as sacred as freedom demands our totality. Thankfully, we are greater than we can imagine.

The longest ride of the trip across the Himalyas awaits. After a grueling 20 day journey and coming down from Hemkund Sahib, we ride to Rishikesh, where the journey began. But nightfall might set in and cause troubles and challenges. As we know, challenges reveal who we are and the Ganga River serves up a challenge for our narrator Adam, as he learns a deep lesson foretold in episode one. Is the Ganga a mother?

Badrinath – Reverberating with thousands of years of yogic wisdom… But Jeff won’t even wear a helmet. “You try and talk to him, he won’t listen to me,” says Jen. The ebb and flow of relationships and how to sustain them is found here in Badrinath, the temple of Naryana, the sustainer. This isn’t religious experience, it is all about getting empty and receiving the wisdom of the sages in the great Himalayas.

Before riding to the Hidden Valley of the Flowers, we see a rare view of the hidden life of the riders in this “real world of yogis” opening scene. This lightness contrasts a serious incdent at the the following morning, setting the riders and Ryan up for some harsh truths about power and passivity. True power is yours to embrace. This is not a journey to feel better.

Journeying in the Himalayas and within themselves, the riders hear a rare the cuff dialogue with their teacher Anand at breakfast about his father and the true meaning of abundance, wealth, sex, power, fame. Then, an epic hike up to 15,000 feet and a temple dedicated to service and unity at Hemkund Sahib and its glacial lake.

The riders continue through the Himalayas. Emptiness and Power in the Gap. The stunning Tungnath Peak at 13,000 feet, the Feminine Temple above the Masculine. Ken goes from rational doubter to having an experience “beyond understanding” that relates to his deceased sister. Unfortunately, the experience is tainted by ignorance and the seemingly inspiring day is further marred when Anna has an accident…

Ryan puts out prayer flags for those who helped finance his trip, a stark contrast to the ungrateful Elle caught in blame. Warm day quickly turns cold and many are complaining about wet bedding and frigid conditions. This is Kedarnath, going beyond fickle circumstances. Ken, the newbie to spirituality isn't so on board and his passenger Tiffany a mom with a 3 year-old, fears losing her life.

Our first glimpse of the first peak, Kedarnath, the temple of death. Anand reminds us that "What needs to die is part of the ego, fears, and comforts." Ken thinks people are riding recklessly, Mario takes his first spill, injuring his passenger Aizhan. Jeff 's comments further alienate Jen, but motivate her to rise up to greatness.

Jen and Jeff’s dream is to save their marriage on this journey, but it’s clear they are in different mindsets from the beginning. We are reminded that Anand himself had a prophecy of death and his teachers and life adventures helped guide him to freedom. Heading towards Kedarnath, night sets in and Ryan sees someone flip over their handlebars.

As their journey begins, the team, led by Anand, prepare for their motorcycle adventure to the four sacred peaks. The first practice ride is here in the birthplace of yoga, but it is not encouraging as monsoons are destroying roads and villages, Fred seems a liability and Ryan's seizures could be an issue.

In 2015, the WHO listed one of the additives in processed meats as carcinogenic. That same additive was nearly banned in America in the 1970's until lobbying from the meat industry discredited the scientists. We reveal how to impede or halt regulations on certain additives lobbyists have been working in the shadows for decades. At the heart of this strategy are the scientists who collaborate with the meat industry and who receive generous compensation for studies that promote meat consumption. In conjunction with this, those whose work finds health risks associated with meat are ‘shot down’. From Brittany to Denmark, through California and Wisconsin, director Sandrine Rigaud conducted a year-long investigation on the tactics of the meat industry.

Fatigue, weight gain, depression, constipation — these are just a few of the more common symptoms of the dysfunction of the thyroid, a little gland that exerts an enormous influence over the entire body. Dr. David Brownstein, one of the foremost practitioners of holistic medicine, has been studying the true causes of thyroid dysfunction over two decades. His revolutionary treatment plan, with the use of iodine supplementation at its core, has effectively helped thousands of patients to date. Dr. Brownstein describes in detail how the thyroid functions, the role of iodine, and its common disorders — including thyroid cancer, which is the fastest growing cancer in the U.S. right now. David Brownstein, M.D., is a conventionally trained board-certified family physician with the additional overlay of holistic principles. While Dr. Brownstein does not claim to have a cure for any illness, he does believe that we can enhance the individual’s immune system by supporting the “host” and the terrain of the host. The human body is well designed and the immune system, when given the proper support, can optimally function.

Join journalist and researcher Kale Brock on a scientific quest to discover whether the “optimal microbiome” does indeed exist. Filmmakers follow him as he travels from Australia to Namibia to live with The San, ancient hunter-gatherers who have lived off the land for centuries. During the excursion, Brock monitors his microbiome closely and notes how it changes with his new surroundings. He also takes microbiome samples of The San to examine any significant differences in overall gut health - specifically, the microbiota present across cultures.

The Face of Birth - a film about pregnancy, childbirth, and a woman’s right to choose. Three years in the making, filmed across the globe from London to Alice Springs, The Face of Birth is a movie with vital information for anyone considering giving birth today. In 2009 it nearly became illegal to have a home birth in Australia. Three years later, in 2012, the number of women choosing a home birth has doubled! Who are these women and why are the medical establishment and current birth culture so against them? This empowering documentary follows the diverse, heart-warming, and sometimes heart wrenching stories of a handful of mothers as they guide us through the plethora of information and opinions facing mothers-to-be when deciding how, where, and with whom to give birth to their babies. The film sorts fact from fiction in childbirth. It explores the politics of risk, safety, and fear, and exposes our mistrust of women in birth. From childbirth, to breastfeeding and maternity care - this documentary covers all the difficult choices women face during a pregnancy. The film also features many of the world’s top birth experts, including the famed Sheila Kitzinger (author of over 23 books on pregnancy and childbirth), and the founder of modern midwifery in the USA, Ina May Gaskin. We hear from Dr. Rupert Sherwood, (President, Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) whose college actively opposes home birth saying that it is ‘unsafe’. Obstetricians Euan Wallace and Andrew Bisits (who have started up hospital home birth pilot programs) strongly disagree, claiming that modern obstetrics is not serving the best interests of women. Our diverse home birth mothers include AFI award-winning actress Noni Hazlehurst. She’s known by one generation from Playschool and another from City Homicide, but do her fans know why she chose a home birth? Mother and doctor Sara Renwick-Lau, chose a home birth for her second child after her first baby was delivered by emergency caesarean section at a maternity hospital in Darwin, where she also worked. She claims her independent midwife gave much better care than her colleagues at the hospital. Young Aboriginal mum Tanya Kunoth, from the remote community Utopia in central Australia, who had two babies in hospital and two babies in the country. She shares why it’s so important for her to be able to birth on her land, and why her home felt safer than in hospital. Beautifully filmed and openly revealing, The Face of Birth tells about all the things we never knew about birth and the power of choice.

Is there an imbalance between our brain hemispheres that is affecting how we live in our modern society? The Divided Brain is a mind-altering odyssey about one man’s quest to prove a growing imbalance in our brains, and help us understand how this makes us increasingly unable to grapple with critical economic, environmental and social issues; ones that shape our very future as a species. Dr. Iain McGilchrist believes that one half of our brain – the left hemisphere – is slowly taking power, and that we in the Western world are simultaneously feeding its ambitions. This half of the brain is very proficient at creating technologies, procedures and systems, but it cannot understand the implications of these on the people and the world around it.
