Ep. 40: Let’s Grow Old and Fit Together

fusionhealthradio — Tue, 05 Dec 2017 14:49:24 -0800

Some old sayings need to be updated. There is that one that goes "Let's Grow Old and Fat Together."

In today's episode, Anthony Sanna talks with Dr. Michael Smith about getting older in the modern world and how to do so gracefully.

Yes, Gracefully.

You know, present, fit, coordinated, energetic and aware of all of the Beauty in your life?

Ep. 38: [Video] What is Applied Meditation

fusionhealthradio — Fri, 27 Oct 2017 18:29:01 -0800

Meditation is a bit of a Buzzword in the Health, Lifestyle and Mindset world.

One could even say that Meditation is an essential skill, that would enhance any and all of these endeavors.

This week Anthony Sanna digs into and surfs the Dao with Dr. Michael Smith about this ancient and powerful practice. You will learn about the nature of consciousness, the innate Masculine and Feminine styles of meditation, and get to fall down a few rabbit holes of the mind. Michael also gives an overview of his Online ‘Ten Weeks to Higher Consciousness’ program.

Enjoy.

Ep. 37: Medical Cannabis - What is Working?

fusionhealthradio — Tue, 17 Oct 2017 20:33:08 -0800

In Canada, we are just a few months away from Legal Access to Medical Cannabis. Which can potentially go in a lot of different ways. Both good and bad.

In this conversation, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about all things Weed. We get into the legal hurdles, the medical benefits and a lot of ways things could get pretty funny. Michael also shares what he sees is working the best so far.

Sit back, smoke ‘em if you got ‘em and Enjoy another episode of Fusion Health Radio.

Ep. 36: About Those Voices in Your Head…

fusionhealthradio — Wed, 27 Sep 2017 22:34:00 -0800

We all have an internal dialogue.

That voice that likes to rehearse conversations. That voice that talks you into the best and worst decisions, That voice that convincingly ensures you that it is actually you... What if that voice is actually made up a dozen or so voices that come from deep evolutionary instincts, social conditioning, the people you dislike and the people you want to be like. That's a lot of stuff to think about. Take a moment to talk to yourselves in your head for a bit... Just kidding. Waaaay back in the early 1970's Hal and Sidra Stone (both Ph.Ds) developed a practice called Voice Dialoguing. Voice Dialoguing is a therapeutic and Psycho-Spiritual practice that involves deeply listening to how you talk to yourself, giving the main voices a name, and negotiating for a healthier internal world. This week, Anthony Sanna and Dr. Michael Smith get into a rip-roaring conversation about, (and with) the most common voices in most peoples heads. Listen, Learn, Laugh and get to know your inner selves.

Ep. 34: Mindfullness, Mindlessness, and You

fusionhealthradio — Wed, 13 Sep 2017 11:12:46 -0800

What is it like to live inside your mind?

Is it chill in there, or is it scary and chaotic in there?

Mindfulness and self-quantification are really big deal right now. Essentially mindfulness is a meditation on acceptance and presence. Spend a few minutes every morning and evening just appreciating the subtle qualities of being you.

Self Quantification is the use of technology to measure your state, health variables and progress if you are in some kind of training. (example is a Fit Bit wearable device)

Mindlessness is what all addicts are looking for. Mindlessness also describes a state that is not focused on the experience of your mind at all.

Ready?

In this conversation, Anthony Sanna and Dr Michael Smith take freewheeling a wondering conversation about consciousness, meditation and psychedelic plant medicines.

You may want prepare appropriately. Hint, Hint...

Have You Ever Tried an AFP?

fusionhealthradio — Mon, 11 Sep 2017 20:00:05 -0800

There are many ways to deepen your practice of Meditation, Qi Gong, Yoga or even Strength Training.

In this blogcast, Michael talks about traditional approaches to deepen your practices that come from Daoism and Martial Arts. He also shares an old story from the Sino-Japanese war about how taking your Spiritual practice for granted stops it from bringing its essential gifts into your life.

Gifts like presence, kindness, ease, humor, confidence and a relationship with your true self.

Michael also shares his personal favorite meditation, the Awareness Frequency Practice.

Check it out!

Ep. 33: Heal Your Gut, Heal Your Life

fusionhealthradio — Tue, 25 Jul 2017 11:33:47 -0800

How life works is either weird or kind of funny sometimes.

Take the erratic and unpredictable aspects of a person's mood or memory or sleep. What causes this randomness in a person? Is it stress, genetics or some scary psychiatric or neurological condition? Eeek!

Did you know that most of how you think and feel is up to the health of your gut?

What is your gut, you may ask?

Your gut includes your stomach, intestines, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, immune system and all of the micro-organisms that live in the 'tube' of your gut. As it turns out, your gut makes most of your neurotransmitters, balances your immune system, and clears your stress hormones.

In this episode of Fusion Health Radio, Anthony Sanna gets into the details with Michael Smith about all things gut health. Especially the deep and life-changing experience that can happen when you actually take the time and change your habits long enough to heal your gut.

Ep. 32: Toxic Mold Syndrome and You

fusionhealthradio — Tue, 25 Jul 2017 11:16:58 -0800

Mold is everywhere. It is literally in the air.

Given some moisture, a lack of direct light, and a moderate temperature and you have the recipe for that weird green or black stuff that grows pretty much anywhere.

Unlike the big fuzzy stuff that grows in the vegetable drawers of the very creative or very distracted, the mold that grows in the deeper, darker and wetter places is actually a very serious medical concern. Especially the black stuff that eats drywall and plywood. Yep, I mean the evil black mold.

Toxic mold syndrome is one of the hardest things to diagnose and treat that I have ever seen. It is profoundly misunderstood by both clinicians and patients.

In this episode, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about this surprisingly common and very terrifying condition.

And, as it turns out, the mold is only the beginning of the problem.

If you have any concern that toxic mold may be affecting your health, the health of a relative or the health of a patient, be sure to check it out.

Ep. 31: Acne, Hormones, and Antibiotics?

fusionhealthradio — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 14:10:42 -0800

Everyone has had at least one pimple or blemish on their face.

In a culture that is a bit (or a lot) obsessed with physical appearance, acne is a game changer for some of us. How many physically beautiful people live deeply insecure lives because of a few zits.

Then there are those of us who have acne for most of our adult lives.

Then there are those with deep and painful cystic acne that can scar your face or back for life… not fun at all!

So, what is acne? Why do so many young people have it? Why do people with other complex conditions also get acne?

The standard answer is that acne is caused by dirty pores.

If it were that simple, why is the standard medical treatment is either antibiotics or oral contraceptive hormones?

In this episode of Fusion Health Radio, Anthony Sanna sits down with Michael Smith to explore this very question.

WARNING: This conversation gets a bit yucky folks, just saying!

Ep. 30: Stimulation addiction, consciousness, and sensory deprivation

fusionhealthradio — Tue, 09 May 2017 15:08:00 -0800

Body memory is a funny thing. If you walk around in a cloud of hornets, expecting to be stung at any moment - you are basically having a panic attack. That is the body memory of anxiety. We have all heard the expression "butterflies in the stomach". That may be the most commonly experienced embodied state. Every extreme or chronic emotional state, injury or other cause of pain and every day of fatigue due to chronic illness is going to turn into the unique embodied state you create in reaction to any experience of overwhelm. We all do it every day... Take a moment to reflect on that. And here is a question to help you reflect; "Are you aware of the volume of distress and discomfort you carry around in your posture and how you breathe?" We all do this 'inner tension - outer persona' dance that can literally take over your body - your felt sense immediate and present sense of everything you feel as a body. It is not a coincidence that the most modernized nations are the most medicated nations. In this episode, Anthony Sanna and Michael Smith talk about a revolutionary perspective on the treatment of insomnia, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, PTSD, post-concussive syndrome, and a host of other deeply challenging chronic conditions. This revolutionary perspective is very simple. 'What if there was a way to completely reset the nervous system, or the Mind/Body connection?' What happens is AMAZING!!! The practice is called sensory deprivation... Yeah, that thing where people float in tanks of warm water... no light... no sound... There is only one way to find out what happens... Get in touch with your local float talk facility.

Ep. 29: Neuro-Somatic Therapy as a practice

fusionhealthradio — Thu, 13 Apr 2017 11:38:43 -0800

Some of us, honestly, most of us hit a wall in life.

It is a wall of past feelings and a fundamental unwillingness to move on and continue to pretend that all is well.

It is at these times when your ability to relax deeply and sleep like a baby that determine your health and your future.

In this episode, Anthony Sanna continues a conversation with Michael Smith about the theory and practice of Neuro-Somatic Therapy. This practice can include regular bodywork or acupuncture sessions that focus on the layers of embodied distress that are the focus of NST. The practice can also be explored on your own, as a part of a Yoga class, or as part of a soak in a sensory deprivation tank.

If you are looking for a whole new way to experience your body, your instincts, your past, and the nature of human life, check out this episode or Fusion Health Radio.

Ep. 28: What is Neuro-Somatic Therapy?

fusionhealthradio — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 20:22:41 -0800

Stress, trauma, pain, exhaustion and chronic illness all get stored, or ‘remembered’ in your body.

So do joy, elation, wonder and ease. The tricky part is to choose which state you feel and remember the most.

In this episode, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about just that. How do your day-to-day experiences and memories get stored in your body? Enter Neuro-Somatic Therapy; an evolutionary approach to the treatment of chronic pain, illness and exhaustion. Initially developed by Michael Smith, Neuro-Somatic Therapy (NST) is a hands-on approach to reducing the physical, emotional, somatic and biochemical ‘memories’ of the past.

NST turns about to be an unexpected but profound opportunity to decompress the way that the mind, heart, body and soul get stuck.

Ep. 27: Cholesterol is not the problem

fusionhealthradio — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 15:09:50 -0800

Unless you are from another planet, you have probably heard that cholesterol causes heart disease. But... if you are into health and fitness, did you know that cholesterol is actually one of the most essential nutrients in human health?

This week Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about all things cholesterol and disease. In this episode, you will learn about cholesterol's many, many essential roles in human health, the actual cause of Cardiovascular disease and how to prevent it. Enjoy!

Ep. 26: Rethinking Cancer

fusionhealthradio — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 10:29:26 -0800

Cancer is a VERY scary word.

It is an even scarier diagnosis.

As of 2016, the statistics are actually mind-bendingly terrifying. At present, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime.

YIKES!!!

In this conversation, Anthony Sanna talks with Dr. Michael Smith about what cancer is, how it happens and what to do about it. Throughout the podcast, it becomes more and more clear that Cancer may actually be a Natural but extreme immune response.

If you are concerned with this modern plague or know someone who has been diagnosed, please listen to this podcast or share with a friend in need. The standard model of treatment for Cancer is almost as dangerous as the disease itself, if not more so.

Listen and share, and as always, we would love to hear your comments and questions.

Ep. 25: Now Would Be Good

fusionhealthradio — Sat, 07 Jan 2017 23:00:21 -0800

One of the most challenging experiences we all have is feeling stuck.

Decisions seem impossible, creativity is a long lost friend and it seems like there is always too much to do.

At some point it gets so distracting, exhausting and oppressive that we have no choice but to make some changes. The hardest and most important decision is the first on that you actually commit to completely.

In this conversation Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about getting unstuck. This conversation will challenge and encourage you to apply some practices and tools to stay present and committed to our goals.

Ep. 24: Rebuilding Your Life

fusionhealthradio — Mon, 26 Dec 2016 17:01:43 -0800

Life is full of surprises! Some good and some bad.

There is an old Daoist saying, “The only constant in the Universe is change.”

Clearly, it is essential that we all get very good at changing directions in life. If changing directions doesn’t make our lives better then we may need to take an even bigger risk and start from scratch.

Ep. 23: Surviving Modern Medicine

fusionhealthradio — Sun, 18 Dec 2016 19:14:02 -0800

Science is amazing!

Nothing has helped humanity move ahead in our evolution than science. We are lucky to be able to say that we are the recipients of the most rigorously tested, precise and powerful medications.

Unfortunately, we are also the unwitting lab rats in the greatest experiment in all of history. Can the extensive use of powerful drugs with multiple and unpredictable side-effects actually bring about long-term positive outcomes?

So far the number three killer of patients in the USA is iatrogenic death - or death by medical treatment. These deaths are profoundly unreported or misreported. It is more likely that the standard model of care is the number one killer as well.

In this conversation, Anthony Sanna talks with Michael Smith about the realities of being a patient with chronic health problems in the 21st Century.

We are respectful of the modern system of health care but are also aware that most people who are treated with the pharma-Surgical Model will eventually need to be treated for the side effects or limited effects of their drugs.

What if we embrace a new model of care? If a person needs Pharma-Surgical intervention, thank God we have that available. Once that person is stable and ready to heal on a deeper level, they would be guided through a process of discovering what is at the root of their medical condition.

Being in a conscious relationship with all of people in your life is your birthright. Imagine what that would be like. Connection without insecurity or manipulation...

In the modern world we learn to be in relationship from the TV or from people who learned how to relate from TV.

Which can be funny as anything, but maybe not the best resource for conscious interaction.

Ep. 3: The Three Healthiest Ways of Eating on Earth

fusionhealthradio — Sat, 26 Sep 2015 18:53:45 -0800

In this episode Anthony Sanna interviews Dr. Michael Smith about the 3 healthiest ways of eating on earth.

There are three distinct and potently healthy diets that have literally shaped us as a species. Before industrial society came into being, most of our ancestors were living as homesteaders. This way of eating was relatively nutrient dense, and was inherently self balancing with respect to the consumption of grains cooked in fat, dairy products and lacto-fermented foods.

Before the advent of agriculture, all of our ancestors were hunters, gatherers and/or scavengers. This "paleolithic" way of eating is profoundly nutrient dense and focuses on a diet of plants, protein and fat.

If you go back far enough into our evolutionary past, to discuss the diet of our early primate ancestors who were forced by severe Ice Ages to the ocean, near the equator, to subsist on a lot of fish, fowl, eggs, sea vegetables and plants. This profound change in diet and food gathering perfectly explains our evolution from primates to human beings.

Feel free to offer your comments and ask questions for the Doctor.
