Compassionate conversation when caring​

Compassionate conversation is a skill and takes practice. It can be increasingly challenging when speaking with a loved one about memory problems. Four tips to remember are:

  1. Limit distractions. Even small distractions can unsettle the conversation. Many people with memory loss also have difficulty hearing and staying focused, so keep background noise to a minimum.
  2. Speak naturally and stay calm. People with memory loss may have trouble remembering your words, but they will remember the feeling.
  3. Invite the right people. The more people talking, the more confusing the conversation may be.
  4. Be patient and avoid cutting them off. Allow extra time for responses. It may take them extra time to process. You can express love and compassion by just listening and being attentive.


This week I will be offering a final bonus webinar in the 4 Pillars for Brain Healing Series. I will be discussing Communication that Heals. Register here if you’d like to join the conversation.

If you use a cell phone daily, it could be causing you to lose hair.
Here’s how we know:
A study published in the Journal of Cosmetology and Trichology found that EMF exposure from cell phone use actually damages hair root cells around the ear where you hold the phone.
EMFs from your phone can also cause hormonal imbalances that trigger hair loss.
Like most people these days, I use my phone a lot.
I’m not ready to give it up, but… I also want thick, healthy, beautiful hair.
So I started burning the midnight oil doing research on ways to block EMF damage.
And I discovered that certain nutrients and foods act like an inner shield that protects your hair (and the rest of your body) from EMF exposure.
Today, you can access my complete anti-EMF diet for free.

A recent study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology reveals that frequent alcohol consumption can increase sensitivity to pain and potentially lead to chronic pain. Dr. Marisa Roberto and her research team have identified targets that could treat alcohol-associated chronic pain and sensitivity. Chronic pain is both a symptom of alcohol dependence and a driving factor for continued drinking. The study highlights the urgent need to understand the relationship between chronic pain and alcohol dependence.

How Common Are Nutritional Deficiencies In Those With Gluten Sensitivity?

Extremely… Let’s take a look at what a research study published in the medical journal, Nutrients(7), found:

  • 87.5% of patients diagnosed had at least 1 vitamin or mineral deficiency
  • 53.8% were deficient in at least 2 nutrients
  • 67% were deficient in the mineral zinc
  • 46% were deficient in iron storage
  • 20% were deficient in folate (vitamin B9)
  • 32% were anemic
  • 19% were deficient in vitamin B12
  • 14.5% were deficient in vitamin B6
  • 7.5% were deficient in vitamin A
  • 4.5% were deficient in vitamin D

The scary part about this – not all nutrients were even tested. For example, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B8, vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, copper, selenium, chromium, iodine, vitamin K, vitamin E, and essential omega fats were not evaluated.

The reality is, these nutrients are vital to fight inflammation, repair damaged tissue, regulate immune function, produce thyroid hormones, produce digestive enzymes, replicate new cells, regulate the adrenal glands, produce energy, help with fat metabolism, and much, much more.

Hi Jimi,

Hi Jimi,
There’s one big problem with inflammation that you won’t hear often.
Most of the time, finding out if you have it requires some detective work.
Some signs can be obvious: redness, swelling, or feeling hot to the touch.
But some of the signs can mimic other conditions and can be too subtle to notice.
In fact, symptoms like eczema, psoriasis, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, depression, arthritis, brain fog, and joint issues could all point to one underlying cause…
Chronic inflammation.
And do you know the biggest driver of chronic inflammation? A dysfunctional gut!
Jimi, these symptoms could be alarm bells in your body letting you know that something in your gut isn’t right. And if you continue to ignore your gut health, these inflammatory symptoms will often keep getting worse, until you’re forced to stop and listen.
But now we’re learning that it’s often possible to stop inflammation in its tracks.
That’s why today, I’m inviting you to watch this potent masterclass, called Microbiome.
Created by the Goodness Lover Team (the folks behind The Gut Solution, The Gut-Brain Solution, and The Gut-Immune Solution), this masterclass is a stunning and practical solution to the onslaught of inflammation.
Over 27 leading scientists will give you the latest natural protocols to halt — and even reverse — the chronic ‘death loop’ of inflammation in your body — starting with your gut.
This is something that natural health practitioners have been talking about for years, but only now is the mainstream scientific community jumping on board.
So don’t miss what could be a life-saving event for you and your loved ones.
>> Go here to reserve your spot (hurry — registration closes soon).
I shared about this series when it first came out in February, and the response was so tremendous that Sarah and Matt are releasing it again (for free)!
Yours for healing solutions,
Ocean Robbins
P.S. When you go here to secure your spot for Microbiome, you’ll also get two incredibly important guidebooks: The Top 12 Foods & Natural Remedies for Better Gut Health and The Microbiome Toolkit: The Top Natural Ways to Support Your Microbiome.
These guides offer even more insights and practical tips for you o to start healing your gut. RSVP here and get your supplementary guides. Get it all here.

Why Viruses DON'T 'Make You Sick'

Hi Jimi,

What if everything you've ever been told about viruses and the nature of viral contagion is wrong?

In my talk going LIVE TODAY for
The End of COVID educational series, I share with you an explanation of contagious disease that you've never heard before, but which helps to resolve centuries old debates between those who believe that viruses are either "harmless" or "don't exist," and those who believe they are absolutely deadly disease agents, against which we need to be cowering in fear, periodically lock the world down over, and mandate billions of citizens around the world to take experimental mRNA vaccines.
As many who follow my work already know, I've been speaking to the miraculous discovery of the human microbiome (which includes the trillions of nucleic-acid containing nanoparticles known as the virome) throughout my career, and am simply blown away by the implications of knowing that we are MORE viral, bacterial, fungal in our genetic makeup than human.

Sadly, the medical community
-- and certainly the mostly self-appointed health leadership of the world who wields 'germ theory' like a geopolitical weapon -- haven't a clue about this vitally important research.

Given the fact that viruses and most bacteria are not "other," but actually aspects of our "self" (look at influenza as an example),
it is no longer intellectually sound to consider as a primary cause of disease invisible particles "out there," which we believe are constantly a threat, due to being exposed to an arbitrary cough or an un-wiped surface.

What I propose is something quite different, including an appreciation for how so-called viruses, which are often indistinguishable from the exosomes our bodies produce to promote health and well-being, are essential for carrying certain biological survival programs, without which no human would be alive today.

Moreover, even the symptoms of disease that are so feared -- e.g. fever, malaise, a feeling of great sickness -- are essential ingredients in the body's self-healing process, and in some cases NOT getting sick, episodically, seasonally, can lead to even worse health outcomes, including cancer and heart disease related death.

Are you ready to dive into this exciting and empowering topic, and join me?

Make sure you register at
The End of COVID and navigate to A New Health Story (Part 2), and select "A New Biophysical Paradigm."

You'll also get access to these amazing talks today:

The 4th Phase of Water (featuring Dr. Gerald Pollack)
The Mystery of Water (featuring Veda Austin)
The New Cell Biology (featuring Dr. Tom Cowan)
Homeopathy (featuring Lisa Strbac)

A New Biophysical Paradigm (featuring Sayer Ji)


I hope you enjoy my presentation and the others today! And I would love your feedback, so feel free to respond to this message!

Warm regards

Sayer Ji,

With rates of depression and mental illness at an all-time high, it’s crucial to take stock of and consciously make time for the things that bring us joy. Joy is an embodied feeling we get when we feel connected to our inner selves, relationships, and the world around us. The question is, how do we create more of it?
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Kelly McGonigal to discuss how to cultivate more joy in our lives using the power of movement, nature, community, and so much more. Kelly shares how movement can help familiarize our bodies with the physical sensations of joy so that it is more easily recognizable. She also discusses how a sedentary lifestyle can rob us of joy and how leading a healthy lifestyle can help us better connect to ourselves to find deeper meaning and purpose that leads us to live a joy-filled life.​
Kelly McGonigal is a health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University specializing in understanding the mind-body connection. Her mission is to translate insights from psychology and neuroscience into practical strategies that support personal well-being and strengthen communities.
She is the best-selling author of The Willpower Instinct and The Upside of Stress. Her TED talk, "How to Make Stress Your Friend," has been viewed over 20 million times. In January 2020, Oprah Magazine honored her as the first-ever O! Visionary for her ability totransform scientific data into wisdom” to make the world mean a better future for us all. Kelly’s last book, The Joy of Moment, explores why physical exercise is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness.
In this episode, Dhru and Kelly dive into:
  • How to create more joy in our lives as we age (2:40)
  • Why joy is so underrated in people’s lives (5:28)
  • Increasing our sensitivity to joy (11:00)
  • What we get from having more joy in our lives (20:22)
  • How being sedentary suppresses our capacity for joy (33:33)
  • Kelly’s background story and how she handles chronic pain (42:35)
  • The Joy Workout (53:10)
  • Kelly’s Joy prescription (59:00)
  • The relationship between friendship and joy (1:03:59)
  • Tips for making friends and meeting new people (1:07:24)
  • The power of integrating movements with relationships (1:11:24)
  • Top motivators for increasing movement in our lives (1:17:48)
  • Tips for cultivating love and compassion (1:19:16)

After members of Congress sent an urgent letter to VRBPAC, FDA’s vaccine advisory committee, raising critical questions regarding the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for infants and children, ICAN’s attorneys submitted FOIA requests which revealed that none of the lead members of VRBPAC bothered to even discuss the letter, let alone reply to Congress.
On June 7, 2022, 18 members of congress sent a 5-page letter to the FDA Commissioner and VRBPAC prior to its June 14, 2022 meeting where the committee was to discuss authorization of COVID-19 vaccines in infants and children. The letter posed 19 crucial questions, including:
  • “Why has the FDA recently lowered the efficacy bar for COVID vaccines for youngest children?”
  • “If approved and widely used among children ... how many lives does the FDA estimate will be saved in this age group over the next year?”
  • “Given the injuries reported in the FDA’s own VAERS, system, how will the FDA evaluate potential tradeoffs of serious vaccine injuries versus serious COVID outcomes?”
Given the serious nature of the letter and its authors, and that it’s not often VRBPAC receives letters of this importance from Congress, ICAN’s attorneys submitted FOIA requests to determine whether VRBPAC’s Chairman and/or top committee members held any meetings, exchanged any emails, or had any discussions in response to this probing letter.
The response to the FOIA request was as disheartening as it was unsurprising. Neither Dr. Amanda Cohn, one of the lead members of VRBPAC, nor the Chairwomen herself, Dr. Ana El Sahly, exchanged any communications about the letter. Evidently, these VRBPAC members feel free to entirely disregard legitimate questions from another branch of government. So much for checks and balances.
While the response to the request for Dr. Sahly’s communications stated simply, “No records were found responsive to your request,” Dr. Cohn’s emails indicated the only discussion of the letter was a message from an FDA management director to several higher-ups stating that, “FDA will use its standard process for responding to letters from Members of Congress” – which, we know from experience, means that little attention will be given to the letter as the FDA hopes it will “just go away.”
ICAN still has numerous requests pending for the communications of other VRBPAC members, as well as Commissioner Califf, and we will be sure to bring you any updates.
See below for ICAN’s other recent legal wins and tussles with VRBPAC:
