23-10 The Unhealthy Lie Everyone Believes

Episode 23:10 The Unhealthy Lie Everyone Believes On our previous episode we talked about the benefits of decluttering. The feedback we received was phenomenal which made us realize that EVERYONE has excess “stuff” in their life. Stuff they would be better off without. On this episode we take a deeper look at WHY we accumulate so much stuff. WHY we feel the need to “have more.” WHY we allow our homes and our lives to be filled with clutter. Interestingly, it all comes down to a lie. A lie we hav...

Go up to a stranger and ask them this question: “Did you know that Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist?” Needless to say, they will have no idea what you’re talking about.

Episode 23:7 Our Health Care System IS Going To Collapse. Are You Prepared? We, as a nation, have a problem. A huge problem… one that may very well bankrupt us. It has to do with our current health care system. A system that’s not only in trouble, it’s going to collapse. The question is not “if” but “when?” To make matters worse, no one in a position of authority wants to talk about it. Nor do they want to do anything to try to prevent it. But the writing’s on the wall. Specifically, there are t...
