  • Drop Emotional Baggage and Smash Through Mental Blocks with Dr. Bradley Nelson
    Jan 15 2026
    Did you know that your heart has a brain?In fact, there are more connections running from the heart to the brain than from the brain to the heart! (Think about that for a second.)We've all heard the expression "dying of a broken heart." It may sound hard to believe, but the phenomenon is quite real. Unresolved emotions like grief, anger, or fear can quietly build pressure in the body and contribute to issues like high blood pressure, heart rhythm problems, and worse. The hidden strain of emotional pains of the past affect the physical health of the heart, taking a toll over a lifetime of real and imagined stressors. Your emotional health is a direct input into your physical health. So before you ignore your body and reflexively say "I'm fine," now is a good time to take a deep breath, check in with yourself for a moment and ask, "how do I feel in my heart?"When we're hurt physically or emotionally, our body and nervous system naturally engage guarding mechanisms. In the wild, injured animals withdraw from socializing and normal tasks and hide until they're healed. But in humans, the fight, flight, and freeze response can go haywire. Our fragile nervous systems face a constant barrage of unnatural, overstimulating modern stressors that eat away at our health, vitality, and sanity.When natural healing processes are interrupted, we can develop subconscious maladaptive patterns of avoidance, isolation, and lack of connection. This incomplete healing can feel like you're not fully alive or not fully present, yet also completely overwhelmed. (After getting my bell rung pretty good recently in a hit-and-run car wreck, I can say I've been there myself.) After a lifetime of struggles, you might not feel not quite so free, open, and alive as a child chasing butterflies in the backyard. So how can you create the life you dream about when your energy is being drained by the emotional baggage?How can we build profound connections with people we care about if our hearts are shuttered behind protective defensive emotions?The paradox is that pain and struggle actually shape us into the people we're meant to become. Some even call it the human condition. This week's guest offers that our trials may even serve a divine purpose.No matter what life has in store for us, the good news is that the human body has a remarkable (and often miraculous) ability to heal. This week's guest has helped millions of souls across the world do just that. Dr. Bradley Nelson is a renowned Holistic Physician, father of 8, husband of 44 years, bestselling author of multiple books including his latest The Heart Code, and a visionary thought leader in root cause healing and personal transformation. He's here to help us drop the emotional baggage and smash through the mental blocks that prevent you from living your best life.In this episode with Dr. Nelson, you'll discover:How to identify and drop maladaptive subconscious patternsHow clearing trapped emotions restores our body’s natural healing intelligenceWhy trapped emotions create patterns of limitation that seem impossible to break (and what to do about it)How to show up unguarded and authentic, feeling fully aliveAnd more...Find Dr. Bradley Nelson and his work at: Website: DrBradleyNelson.comWebsite: DiscoverHealing.comBooks: The Heart Code, The Emotion Code, The Body Code, The Belief CodeFacebook: @DrBradleyNelsonX: @DrBradleyNelson Instagram: @OfficialDrBradleyNelsonYouTube: @DrBradleyNelsonLinkedIn: @DrBradleyNelsonBig news!

  • Donnie Yance: Why Microdosing is More Effective Than Macrodosing
    Dec 4 2025
    Is microdosing more effective than macrodosing? While heavy-handed megadoses of synthetic pharmaceuticals attempt to dominate a single biochemical pathway, microdoses of synergistic botanticals can stimulate the body to normalize, balance and heal itself.Meanwhile, much of modern medicine has devolved into a game of manipulating numbers on blood tests rather than actually healing you. Because they're not so easily patented and monetized, many of the most effective, affordable and simple substances and practices in health and longevity are dismissed, ignored, or at the very least taken for granted. For instance, did you know that the simple act of prayer has been scientifically proven to not only improve mental health, but also improve the literal physical health of the heart?Deep breathing, gratitude, meditation, and prayer steady the vagus nerve and allow our bodies to remain flexible and adaptable, downregulating our nervous system from fight-or-flight into a relaxed parasympathetic state. The truth is, we don't need to wait for the next miracle pill to save us. We already know more than enough to put life-saving practices into action today. Donnie Yance is a Clinical Master Herbalist, Certified Nutritionist and Author, known internationally for his pioneering work in botanical and nutritional medicine, particularly in the field of integrative cancer. As an accomplished jazz bassist and former monk, Donnie is also known as "The Funk Monk."In this episode, you'll discover:How to eat and supplement for greater adaptive capacity, hardiness, and resilienceWhy many of the secrets to long life lie in humble livingHow Donnie earned the nickname of "The Funk Monk"How improvisation in music mirrors the intellectual and playful flexibility we need in healthAnd much more...Find Donnie Yance and his work at: DonnieYance.comMederiCenter.orgNaturaHealthProducts.comListen to Donnie’s music on Apple and SpotifyFacebook: @DonnieYanceInstagram: @medericenterYouTube: @mederifoundationLinkedin: @mederi-centerBooks by Donnie Yance: Adaptogens in Medical Herbalism: Elite Herbs and Natural Compounds for Mastering Stress, Aging, and Chronic Disease by Donald Yance , MH, CN, RH (AHG), SFOHerbal Medicine, Healing & Cancer: A Comprehensive Program for Prevention and Treatment by Donald Yance , MH, CN, RH (AHG), SFOPlease take a moment to make sure you’re subscribed wherever you listen to podcasts, and to stay up-to-date, sign up for my newsletter at AbelJames.com.You can also join Substack as a free or paid member for ad-free episodes of this show, to comment on each episode, and to hit me up in the DM’s.

    Nov 6 2025
    How do you build agency and resilience in a world that profits from your distraction?

    On this episode, you'll discover:
    • The secrets to being impossibly productive while avoiding burnout
    • How to redirect faulty inherited beliefs and rewire maladaptive emotional patterns
    • How an addiction to pickleball destroyed a client's life

    • How to identify and overcome the blind spots sabotaging your results
