Ketamine Assisted Therapy for Mental Health Support with Kiem Schutter [Ep. 117]

Ketamine Assisted Therapy for Mental Health Support with Kiem Schutter [Ep. 117]
Have you ever struggled with anxiety, depression or PTSD?The sad truth is that our world is more riddled now more than ever with mental health challenges increasing year after year.Why are we struggling more now than ever before?And is there a way to support our mental health BEFORE it gets to a dark place?Tune in with today’s special guest - Kiem Schutter as we dive deep into a conversation around mental health support AND the possibility of ketamine assisted therapy to support this journey.Kiem is the Founder of Qi Integrated Health in Vancouver BC.As a natural-born healer, sensing and feeling energy on a much deeper level than most, Kiem has been on a lifelong journey to tap into the deep healing powers of the body and mind. After completing his education in Chinese Medicine he was inspired to create a space to bring together various modalities and healers to support human health in a more holistic way. And that’s when he created Qi Integrated Health.Imagine that there is a memory rooted deeper than science tells us - one that reaches deeper into our connectedness to nature - that you have been able to access and one that psychedelics seem to offer the avenue to. However, there may be something more profound in you that connects you not to who you are or where you came from but to who you really are, and where you really came from. That, I believe, can be defined as love.In the business's scope, we define this as a state of health (joy, vigour, vibrancy, connectedness). To inspire in others the belief that challenges are not barriers; rather, they are lessons, is the foundation of your work. "I hope to inspire others to continually pursue a state of good health, with greater love and through new levels of consciousness - not merely in the absence of illness, injury, or trauma, but, instead, because of it. The radical acceptance of our traumas and challenges, paired with a deeper understanding that we can overcome them if we are willing to persevere and integrate new modalities, is the key to real success and true wellbeing." ******************Qi Integrated Health - Complementary Integration circles and info calls for psychedelic/preventative medicine: https://www.qiintegratedhealth.com/events Connect with Kiem Schutter and Qi Integrated Health Centerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/togreathealth/?originalSubdomain=ca https://www.instagram.com/qiintegratedhealth/******************➠ Discover the unique ROOT CAUSE that is keeping you stuck on the sugar rollercoaster every year.

Sugar addiction in BIPOC communities with Shun Foreman [Ep. 99]

Sugar addiction in BIPOC communities with Shun Foreman [Ep. 99]
A long overdue and VERY important conversation on the role of sugar in communities of colour with our very special guest Shun Forman.Did you know that people of colour are more likely to be addicted to sugar and suffer from various metabolic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes?Education is level 1 and that’s what Shun is here to help us with on todays’ episode! In this episode:Shun’s powerful inspiration and healing journey with sugarHow historical sites, books, and information helped heal from sugar.Why is the impact of sugar being seen more in communities of colour What aspects of life play a big factor in higher sugar consumption in BIPOC communitiesWhat is sugarland and the impacts of slavery in processed food addictionMore!After hearing of and seeing enough injustices within Black American communities, Shun Foreman returned to school for a master's in human rights and social justice. While learning that she could use the lens of healthcare to understand health disparities in communities of color, Shun focused on the history of sugar in black communities.To understand the sugar industry's role in Black American history, Shun traveled to the sugar plantations in Louisiana and Sugar Land, Texas. Shun's conversations with the late Reginald Moore in Sugar Land and plantation tours are critical to why she stays motivated to cut sugar from her diet, sustain a greater than sixty-pound weight loss, and bring sugar awareness to communities of color. Shun has over twenty-five years of nursing experience in areas ranging from childbirth and intensive care to research and administration, and she is also a Certified and Licensed Sugar Addiction Counselor. Shun loves working to help save lives as a sugar coach for African American women and a community speaker as she establishes her business as Sugar Mode Off. ******************Connect with Shun Foreman:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sugarmodeoffInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sugarmodeoff/Facebook Group Sisters BreakingtheBondsofSugar: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1707769126055956/?ref=share ******************➠ Ready to finally kick your emotional eating habit and build a new healthy relationship with sugar from the inside out?
