Dear Jimi,
Our third episode of Meditation Changes Everything is available now!
In Episode 3: 5 Gateways to Awakened Awareness, Craig takes you on an experiential journey through five brief “meditation experiments” designed to open you to a direct experience of your own true nature beyond the mind.
In each experiment, you’ll be invited to step directly into one of the natural inner postures of awakened awareness, opening the door to the infinite freedom and wholeness that is always already here.
For thirty minutes, Craig invites you to let go of the cares and concerns of your day and ‘tune in’ to a field of depth that is already occurring.
To get the full benefit of the guided meditations, we encourage you to listen when you’re in a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted.
We love to hear from you and greatly appreciate the comments we’ve received about the podcast so far!
“I'm very excited about this new podcast and looking forward to learning more. Thank you, Craig!”
—Judy
“I found Craig's teaching very contemporary and clear. This podcast presents the thoughts and practice in a condensed form, but the depth and profound messages remain. Looking forward to learning more from Craig in this new form.”
—OP
“What a delightful opportunity for millions and millions; so much offered just like that. Thank you.”
—Roger
“Thank you for this. It is very appreciated!”
—Katey
“What a wonderful way to start the New Year! Thanks, Craig. I can't wait to dig in!”
—Susan
“The right message at the right time.”
—Bassam
If you haven’t yet, we encourage you to check out the other two episodes that are available now.
In Episode 1: Everything Meditation Changes Craig lays out the foundation for this podcast and explains what he really means when he says, “meditation changes everything.”
And in Episode 2: Your Busy Mind is Not the Problem, Craig explains why your mind is not an obstacle to meditation, and how you can access the profound depths of meditation even when your mind is active.

You can listen wherever you get your favorite podcasts or on the Meditation Changes Everything podcast web page where you’ll also find transcripts for each episode.
Because we're just getting started as a podcast, it would be a big help to us if you would take a few minutes to rate and review the show in your podcast app—thank you!
We hope you’ll tune in to the show and find it a helpful support on your path.

Ever since my grandfather passed away from cancer, I’ve been on a mission to help people eliminate their chronic health challenges.

He followed everything his doctors said, yet it not only made him worse, the treatments killed him.

And if you’re dealing with a chronic condition (whether it be cancer, autoimmune disease, pain or fatigue)

But everything you’ve tried so far - conventional medicine… herbs… supplements… or even holistic medicine - hasn’t worked for you.

Then, I’d like to share with you a method I discovered in my research called: Energy Medicine Yoga, which is helping people across the globe get to the root cause of their chronic health conditions.

If you are a woman, or have any women in your life... this new Rebel Health Spotlight episode is a must listen.

Brie Wieselman, LAc is a good friend of ours here at RHT, and an excellent functional health practitioner - who has turned her entire focus towards helping middle-aged women navigate perimenopause.

Why?

Because she is one - and doesn't believe it needs to be so difficult!

If you're going through a difficult transition period, would like to arm yourself with information to avoid that kind of future, or would like some resources to share with the women in your life... this episode is for you.

If you're not familiar with Brie's work - she's an OG functional health practitioner, trained by Dr. Dan Kalish, Dr. Jeffrey Bland, and several other pioneers in the field. Brie has a diverse background in Chinese medicine, herbalism, and functional medicine.

She's also a very fun interview - who never takes herself or this work too seriously. (Which we love around here!)

In this new Rebel Health Spotlight episode, you'll learn:

  • How Brie wound up doing what she's doing, with a focus on women's hormonal health
  • How her own experiences with IVF, PCOS, and significant mid-life changes have given her the personal connection to this work (and why that matters)
  • Her top tips for pre- and current menopausal women (might not be what you think!)
  • How group care is changing the way she helps patients, and why she feels it's a missing link in well-being (we agree!)
  • The role of joy, fulfillment, and life satisfaction as essential elements of health
This and much more including some unrelated, but interesting banter between myself and Brie - which can't be avoided when we get together!

So click here and head over to watch or listen now!

New to Rebel Health Spotlights?

These are short, concise, and fun interviews with leaders in the field - designed to give you something valuable to listen to while you're walking the dog, driving to work, or taking a short break in your day!

(This one went a bit long at 39 min because Brie and I are good friends... but it was fun!)


On that page, you will find links to all of Brie's work, as well as a previous webinar and podcast we recorded previously. A loaded collection of valuable nuggets from an excellent practitioner and person!


Hope you enjoy watching or listening as much as I did recording with Brie!


In health and balanced hormones,

Unexpected: The Truth About Antibiotics​

And Breast Cancer​

Antibiotics are a double-edged sword. They can quickly stop a dangerous infection but destroy your gut microbiome. They can promote cancer cell death but can also increase the risk of breast cancer. I could write a hundred more juxtaposition examples, but you get the point: be SMART and STRATEGIC when taking antibiotics. To garner a bit of insight, please continue reading. For a more personalized approach to antibiotics, please talk to a Breast Cancer Conqueror Coach and your medical team. There is no need to fear antibiotics; however must use caution and use them sparingly and wisely.
Antibiotic Overuse
Let’s start from the beginning. Do you know if your parents gave you antibiotics for every ailment as a kid? Do you take antibiotics regularly as an adult? We are fortunate to live in a time when we can take antibiotics to treat a very severe infection instead of having to amputate a limb to save our lives. However, many kids and adults now suffer from overuse and abuse of antibiotics and thus antibiotic resistance.
Overuse and Breast Cancer
Overuse leads to antimicrobial resistance, meaning your body is so used to antibiotics that they are no longer effective. It can also immensely damage your gut microbiome, which dramatically weakens your immune system.
The most extensive study to make the correlation between antibiotics and cancer is one conducted with over 2,000 women. It found, “Use of antibiotics is associated with increased risk of incident and fatal breast cancer.” This is because long-term use of antibiotics has bleak effects on inflammation, immune function, and estrogen metabolism.
Another study states, “An unhealthy, inflamed gut causes breast cancer to become much more invasive and spread more quickly to other parts of the body.” If going through chemotherapy, a healthy gut can temper chemotherapy side effects, “Naturally occurring gut bacteria can clean up chemo toxins in the body.” (Learn more here).

The Virality Project's Covert War on Health Freedom Advocates
The Virality Project colluded with social media platforms to intentionally suppress factual content and constitutionally protected speech from health freedom advocates like Sayer Ji questioning fast-tracked Covid vaccines. Ji, founder of natural health website GreenMedInfo, was placed on a censorship list of 12 so-called "disinformation dozen" individuals to be deplatformed and silenced.​
Can Magnesium Stem the Tide of Opioid Addiction?
A 2003 study that is becoming increasingly more relevant every year found magnesium supplements significantly decreased illicit opioid use among methadone patients also abusing *******.

“Well, there's basically been like a worldwide billionaires revolution going on for the past several years or for decades, really. They've taken a very methodical, gradual approach, but overall, a constant advancement that has broken down nearly all resistance. And step by step, uh, they have overthrown the former systems of authority that we have always known in the world, governance as we've always known it, and they've installed themselves, as the supreme rulers over the US, over Europe, and over the developing world, their revolution, the billionaires revolution has progressed, as I said, through stages, and it's possible to identify, uh, many of the key victories that helped them achieve, uh, what they've achieved and enabled them to reach the point at which they are today.
Things like the creation of the Bretton Woods economic system, the creation of the IMF and the World Bank and the,, WTO, things like NAFTA, and other free trade agreements, the deregulation of banking, The Citizens United, uh, decision by the Supreme Court. The enactment of laws, uh, for unrestricted corporate political donations.
Even the creation of the European Union and the creation of the eurozone, all of these things are significant triumphs in the global coup by the 1%. And within specific countries, you can also identify, Uh, important victories that they've achieved as well. I mean, anytime a country takes a loan from the IMF or the World Bank or any other international so called development bank. Uh, and then they begin to implement the macroeconomic reforms that are always recommended or demanded, stipulated, uh, in the loan agreements. Are victories for the 1%.
That's victories for this billionaires revolution. You know? Like in in Egypt, for example, the loan that they took And then the law that they imposed banning third party opposition to investor activity, the cutting of food subsidies, food and fuel subsidies in Egypt and in other countries that have succumbed to the IMF. All of these represent successes for the a revolution of the 1%. I think it's vital for us to understand that, uh, what is happening is a revolution against state sovereignty and political authority.
And at this project of the 1%, if you wanna call it that, the owners and controllers of global financialized capital, this project moves forward By means of key events, it's not something that's inevitable. It's not some sort of natural disaster that cannot be anticipated, uh, resisted or thwarted. Certain things have happened which have allowed it to triumph, and certain things are still being pursued, And we can do something about those things. We can anticipate those things. We can respond to those things preemptively.
We have to recognize this so that we can identify any upcoming events or plans, uh, steps that they're going to wanna take, uh, that will consolidate their power and compound our subjugation. Once we identify these things, then we can organize ourselves and adopt a strategy that will turn those events in our favor because they are turning points. They will either be victories for them or victories for us depending on what we do about it.” Shahid Bolsen

Your tax dollars at work. USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service sent a memo saying it issued Santa a permit to transit the border. But I thought anyone could do that, no permit needed.

It came to my email.​

DEC 21
(Washington, D.C., December 21, 2023) – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) today issued a transit permit to Mr. S. Nicholas Claus of the North Pole, a distributor with Gifts and Good Cheer, Inc. The permit will allow reindeer to enter and exit the United States between the hours of 6 p.m. on Dec. 24, 2023, and 6 a.m. on Dec. 25, 2023, local time, through or over any U.S. border port.
"USDA is delighted to grant Mr. Claus and his reindeer a special permit to enter the United States, ensuring a seamless journey for the joy they bring each holiday season," said Jenny Lester Moffitt, Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs. "We extend a warm welcome to Mr. Claus and recognize the vital role of U.S. milk and cookies in fueling his festive flight."
Veterinary officials ensured the reindeer met all entry requirements before issuing the permit. Dr. Rosemary Sifford, USDA’s Chief Veterinary Officer, stated: “At a recent inspection, the reindeer were found to be healthy and able to prance and paw with each hoof.”
It was noted on the health certificate that one reindeer, Rudolph, has a minor physical anomaly. However, APHIS indicated that Rudolph’s red nose, while bright, was normal for him and not a concern.
APHIS regulates the movement of cervids, including reindeer, to protect the health of America’s livestock population. The permitting process provides assurance that only healthy animals enter the United States.
USDA has confirmed that the reindeer will arrive pulling a wooden sleigh with jingling bells attached, filled with brightly wrapped gifts. Port personnel will clean and disinfect the runners and underside of the sleigh at the time of entry. They will also conduct a short visual inspection of the reindeer. Mr. Claus has been asked to disinfect his boots and thoroughly wash his hands. These measures are intended to prevent the entry of any livestock diseases the team may encounter during deliveries to farms and houses around the world prior to entering the United States.
Mr. Claus also provided an advance list of what port personnel should expect upon their arrival. This includes a variety of food items, all of which come from approved locations and none of which pose a threat to U.S. animal or plant health.
“It’s important that Gifts and Good Cheer, Inc. take all the right steps and precautions to protect against the potential introduction of pests and diseases,” explained Mr. Claus. “I appreciate USDA’s assistance every year as we gear up for our big night.”
Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Bodhi Day, Noche Buena, Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa, Diwali, or other holidays during this time of year, USDA wishes you a happy and healthy season full of time-honored traditions and celebrations.
