Straight no chaser. This summer will be no different than the last because nothing in your life and routine is different than the last. You're on the same bs and that's why your health and body are still falling apart. You've now drawn a line in the sand and your actions basically confirm that staying comfortable and eating reckless means more to you than the vitality and longevity that comes with getting your mind and mouth in check. And that my friend, is a shame. Episode Notes [04:10] Number ...

In the midst of our family constantly telling us how they have the right to eat and live the way they want (which is true), they forget to mention that their failing health will ultimately become someone else's problem. Burden is really the word, I mean let's not sugarcoat this. Whether physically, mentally or financially, when the health of those around us declines the implications are widespread for everyone connected to the ailing family member. Dance around the truth is not helping us, it's ...

Let's stop playing games. What are you willing to give up for the health you want? For the life YOU said you wanted. I'm challenging you to get serious about your vision and goals for 2018. You're either identifying with the loser or the winner in you and if you say you're a winner you must give up something or someone to win.

"Fluoride is the top developmental neurotoxicant." The rabbit hole goes deep, my friends. For decades your government and public officials have known that fluoride was toxic and detrimental to your health. Yet they've not only sat in silence, they've intentionally misled the public by promoting fluoride as a safe and required option to protect your teeth. Fluoride has been linked to everything from cancer, to kidney disease, hypothyroidism, and lower IQ. Could your unresolved health issues be di...

When I think of the word mafia there's one thing that comes to mind, Big Tobacco. After over 50 years of knowingly lying and deceiving the public about the deleterious effects of smoking, the Tobacco industry is just now being held accountable in the court of law and admitting their detrimental actions. There are so many lessons that can be learned and so many clues that reflect how much of the same playbook used by the Tobacco industry in the 1900s are still very much in effect today....

Sorry to inform you but those resolutions are more than likely not going to help you move the needle this year. Is that being negative? Of course not. But you DO want to be successful this year don't you? Well I'm trying to help a brotha or sista out and explain why just making resolutions similar to what you've done in the past won't be enough for you to achieve the health and wellness goals you've set this year.

What exactly is this culture and legacy we speak so highly of? We're dying people. And early. Throughout hip hop we not only see the promotion of degenerative lifestyles but we see the artists we've come to love succumb to illness, disease and often early death. How exactly can you move any movement, community or culture forward when our health is failing at the rates they are?

Let's clear one thing up before we go into 2018. Black folk WILL remain sick and stupid going into the new year, not by accident and not due to white supremacy or any other bs being told to you by your black favs. There are three concrete reasons why and the proof is in the pudding!

*crickets* Yes you read it correctly. I think I've ridden this vegan train about as far as I'm willing to ride it and now's the time for me to hop off. Now I'm not in anyway suggesting you should do the same however, with all of what I have observed this year, I want to set a clear intention for Project Rook going into 2018.

The debate is on. In one corner we have vegans who have taken on the role of food police and in the other we have meat eaters who say, wait just one minute, look in your own plate before questioning mines. So the pressing question is this: are processed foods healthy as long as it's vegan? I think you already know the answer.

You know the drill. The holidays are upon us and it usually evolves a lot of unnecessary eating and stress. So your desire to keep your peace and your waist gets a lot more complicated when you've transitioned to a vegan or healthier lifestyle. What do you do when no one in your family wants to hear about why you're not eating "normal"? How do you handle them thinking you're not only being extreme but a disgrace to tradition aka down right bougie?! More importantly whose opinion will ultimately ...

We're back! Here's my update on what's being going on for the past month or so. But more importantly, let's discuss the hidden culprit behind a lot of illness and disease....stress! Could it be that your health progress is been hindered by your inability to avoid and/or properly handle stress?

Saturdays, Consciousness and Pastor Pork Chop? Ha, what a combination! I know people hate the correlation between health and church BUT it is an important one we can't afford to overlook. Even if you don't want to admit it, I'm sure you have noticed the shift in mass consciousness that's taking place. If you haven't I challenge you to look at your Saturdays and "Pastor Pork Chop" just a little bit differently.

So what's the real deal with the Hoteps? Are they helping or hurting? Uniting or dividing? We've seen them mocked, ridiculed and dismissed by many of our mainstream black favorites but how do we break this thing down to see who is actually contributing to the health and wellness of the black community and who is promoting more pain and discord in the mind and body of the people? ---- www.hotepnation.com

How do you know when your approach to health has gone down the religious highway to ? You know that place where you, often unintentionally, become a slave to your beliefs. Where you thought you were thinking and making decisions for yourself but actually you'd only been implementing the belief systems of others. There is no greater hindrance to your health progress than believing that anyone or anything has more power and influence over your journey than you and your own divine wisdom....

All month I've been promoting the #30DayFruitChallenge and now I think it's time to share what's been going on with me during this process. More importantly, I must share why I decided to end the cleanse early and what are some key things you must remember as you're cleansing and walking your own health journey.

It's Day 16 of the #30DayFruitChallenge and there have been a few changes I've made as my body goes through this process of cleansing. I also want to clarify [11:00] that despite me sharing my journey, what it is I believe and what it is I'm doing the goal here is not for you to follow me or anyone else. We can all act as guides, motivators, even inspirators to others but ultimately your health and wellness journey is about you. Reconnecting with your divine guide inside. www.30DayFruitChallenge...

Everyone loves to talk about what we perceive to be the "positive" benefits to the Law of Attraction. You know, attracting good and kind people, attracting more wealth and abundance or maybe even health. But what happens when what you attract goes against everything you believe you've been asking for? How does one attract chaos or challenging times/people in their lives? A better question to ask is, does this mean the principle of the Law of Attraction is flawed OR maybe just maybe what you've c...

Well, well, well it looks as though we have some confusion about what veganism and true healing really is. While I do believe in and advocate a vegan based lifestyle we must understand that there are still other key components at play that affect the conditions of our body and its ability to function optimally and to heal. Meat or no meat, what you put in your body, what you absorb and what you properly eliminate should be the key factors we examine when assessing why one too many vegans find th...

PR Episode 58: The Power of One More Time I've found the pursuit of health and wellness is just as much mental as it is physical. So how do you not only stay motivated in your pursuits but actually obtain what it is that you're after? What if I told you that the real juice lies in the foundation that you lay, your ability to tap into your divine greatness and your commitment to becoming your lifelong cheerleader. Is it easy? Maybe not, but I promise you if you can figure out how to execute the p...

This week we're talking pee ya'll! I know we all do it several times a day but it is an integral part of keeping us well. Interestingly enough I've been monitoring mines for the past few months and I am finally seeing some filtration happening!! I will share what that means and where I'll go from here. But more importantly I want you to know that when our glands and organs are functioning properly we have no reason to worry about our overall wellbeing. The body can heal itself!...

Let me ask this question again. HOW are Black Folks the Authority on God & Magic But Can't Seem to Use Either to Heal Themselves? We need answers people and don't tell me it's prayer or some magic potion. Been there, done that. Time is up for the foolishness and the cognitive dissonance that prohibits us from logically looking at what we've been doing and believing and how it all measures up, results wise. As a whole, our minds and bodies are spiraling out of control with little sign of impr...

There are levels to your health journey and it's up to you to decide how far you are willing to go. However, if you're ready to open the door to healing, raw foods can open the gateway to truly repairing the body. So what happens when you eliminate all cooked foods and eat only raw fruit and vegetables for 30 days? While on this episode, I will share what my past 30 days have been like, remember, I have been cleansing for quite a while so if this is your first time on this rodeo you may experien...

Since when did dying at 40 & 50 years of age become normal? Why are we fighting so hard to normalize fat and obesity when we see the results of more and more people dying from stroke and heart disease? Something has to give people. Better yet common sense has to begin to take charge so that your eyes will open to the fact that something has gone awry. The reality is this, if you don't do something different than those you see succumbing prematurely, you will likely suffer the same fate....
