Ep. 63 - Dr. Jenny Cundari - Naturopathic Doctor, Ayahuasca, & Psychedelic Assisted Therapy

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 63 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Jenny Cundari. Jenny is a Naturopathic Doctor and works in the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration. Jenny and I met a number of years ago at the Amazon plant medicine center, the Temple of the Way of Light, where she came to explore plant medicines more in-depth. I really enjoyed sitting down and catching up with Jenny, and she has a beautiful way of communicating medicine, holistic health, plant medicines, and therapy in a really cohesive and easy to understand way. She has a lot of wisdom to share and I hope and think you all will get a lot out of this episode.

"Dr. Jenny Cundari is a licensed naturopathic doctor with a degree from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Cundari is trained to care for patients of all different ages and can address a wide range of health concerns. However, her approach extends to a particular passion for mental health and mind-body medicine. She treats each patient visit uniquely and views each patient through a compassionate lens. Her perspective on achieving optimal health is to restore the connection between mind and body, create balance, stimulate the healing power within and treat the underlying cause of illness.

Dr. Cundari's focus is always on the patient as an individual, factoring in their physiological, psychological, social, spiritual, structural environment and lifestyle factors. Patient-centered care is central in her work, meaning the focus is on individual patient needs. Her plans are individualized and her intention is to always meet the patient where they are at. Dr. Cundari is passionate about working with people who want to achieve a better quality of life, who feel stuck and who are looking for more enjoyment and fulfillment. Her personal and professional philosophy is grounded in connection and balance. Balance in the mind, body and spirit; and connection with self, others and nature. She empowers patients through knowledge to take responsibility for their own health and she especially wants to work with people who are open and willing to step up and do the deep work.

Initial appointments with Dr. Cundari include an in-depth discussion of health history and future intentions. Depending on individual patient's future goals, a plan will be discussed at the end of the visit. She uses a wide range of tools in her practice that include: herbal medicines, pharmaceuticals, nutrient support, nutrition/lifestyle counseling, integration of altered states of consciousness, somatic therapy, and body work.”

Ep. 61 - Alex Ecklin - Martial Arts, Jiu-Jitsu, & The Tao

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 61 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Alex Ecklin. Alex and I met about a decade ago when we were both students of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the great Vitor “Shaolin” Ribeiro in New York City. Alex went on to compete, medaling in world championships, teaching under Shaolin, and eventually opening his own school in Brooklyn, and now Manhattan, Masterskya. I have a lot of respect for Alex in how he carries himself, as a jiujitsu practitioner, as a teacher, and as a man. In this conversation, we talked about martial arts, jiujitsu, muay Thai, MMA, plant medicines, life, and the tao. I really enjoyed talking to Alex and I think and trust you all will also.

"Alex Ecklin and Van Allen Flores lead the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program in Masterskya. Together, they assembled a team of like-minded, passionate instructors to work alongside them to achieve their vision and dream of providing honest, highest level training possible that is accessible to anyone. They believe that the martial arts should be available for anyone, and the focus should be to help people achieve whatever goals they have through training.

Alex and Van attained their Black Belts under BJJ + MMA legend Vitor “Shaolin” Ribeiro, and have been training together for over a decade. They taught at the Manhattan academy together for many years, and later individually when Alex taught in Coban’s Muay Thai Camp and Van at UFC Gym in Soho.

For many years, they dreamed of working together and this is truly a dream that is coming to reality.

Alex medaled in the IBJJF World Championships, European Championships, No-Gi Pan American Championships and won the American Nationals, Chicago Open, several New York and Boston Opens as a Brown Belt. He also is a veteran of the Eddie Bravo Invitational, fighting in the first one and the seventh one, where Van was his coach and cornerman.

Van and Alex are also currently teaching group BJJ classes in the Google Headquarters in Chelsea.

Van helped Alex film a G-Roll instructional several years ago, which can be found on YouTube. In 2019, Alex teamed up with Grapplers Guide to film the G-Roll 2.0.”

Ep. 60 - John Keegan - Relationships, Human Interaction, & The Now

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 60 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend John Keegan. John and I have been friends for a long time and we originally met in an acting class with the great Thomas G. Waites. John went on to take his improvisational skills to the streets to hone the art of meeting and connecting with people. He now teaches the art of connection, conversation, interaction, and relationships to people around the world. In my work, relationships are often one of the main goals people are looking to work on and also carry a lot of fear and trauma around. So it was great to have John share in his light-hearted wisdom on how we can improve this aspect of our lives. He draws heavily on his experience of flows states and being in the Now. I hope and trust you all will get a lot out of this episode. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!

"Before John became a dating coach, he discovered that the playfulness and spontaneity are lacking in almost all social interactions. This epidemic transcends gender and socio-economic class. It's as common in society as it is dysfunctional, as ubiquitous among people as it is counter-productive to their core desires.

His mission as a dating coach is to break this literal pattern, embrace the unexpected, transcend the paradigm, and evolve beyond the social and spiritual mediocrity of society at large.

Beyond the expected is a world of the spontaneous, the creative, even the spiritual realm of connecting with friends and lovers we have yet to meet. It's John’s mission, to share his findings of this world of new possibilities with those who have yet to experience it.”
