BEING A "FOOD WEIRDO" AND LIVING ON PURPOSE.\\xa0

\\xa0 \\xa0
Welcome to the 7th episode of the Free Spirit Academy Podcast with Holistic\\xa0 Detox Counselor and Colon Hydrotherapist Michael Perrine.
\\xa0 \\xa0
If you'll recall a couple of episodes back, I spoke with another colonic guru - Gil Jacobs. And you're probably thinking...what is with this girl and poop? And that would be a valid question ;)
\\xa0 \\xa0
All I'll say is that when something changes your life - you share it. That's been true for me with kundalini yoga, intuitive eating, self-love, and cleansing my body in what might seem like an unconventional way.
\\xa0 \\xa0
That said, the way I approached healing a lifetime of binge eating was also unconventional. Rather than willpower and control (which mind you, I DID try for years) I found freedom in surrender of rules, slowing down, and self-exploration. Rather continuing to promise myself that I'd never binge eat again, I started sitting down with those binges and really exploring who I was in those moments. And it changed everything - so don't be afraid of unconventional or seemingly unnatural.
What's natural is WELL. Wellness is natural. Have you heard that little story about the guy who was banging his head against the wall and went to the doctor for a headache and the doctor told him to stop banging his head against the wall? Well actually, now that I think about it, a lot of doctors would probably have given him a prescription but the SANE response would be to look at the cause. We become more free when we don't have a massive blockage in the way of our expression. That blockage could be beliefs about ourselves that aren't true or traumas we suffered. The body is also more free when it's natural state isn't blocked. And that's the heart of what we'll talk about today.

Back to Mike.
\\xa0 \\xa0
Today we'll talk about:
\\xa0 \\xa0
His first colonic with Gil Jacobs (of podcast #5) in 2002.
\\xa0 \\xa0
How we went from drinking and smoking 2 packs of cigarettes every day and being 50 pounds heavier to the incredibly level of wellness he lives with today.
\\xa0 \\xa0
The book he read one day when he stayed home to recover from drinking - that ended up changing his life.
\\xa0 \\xa0
Why colon cleansing in and of itself isn't that useful and how it can even (like all things) be turned into a tool for disorder.
\\xa0 \\xa0
The magic of cryotherapy.
\\xa0 \\xa0
Embracing what's unnatural in response to unnatural living.
\\xa0 \\xa0
Rebellion that serves you vs. rebellion that hurts you.
\\xa0 \\xa0
The concept of "eating clean" and what it actually means. - not a moral thing where we're like "oh I was so good today" or "I was so bad today - gotta get back on track" - this is so far beyond that.
\\xa0 \\xa0
And to give you a taste of what you're about to go into, one of my favorite quotes from Mike in this conversation: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away 'cause it makes you shit."
\\xa0 \\xa0
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Michael Perrine.
