The Change Agents Podcast With Dr. James Rouse

Today's message is all about nourishing your gut to feed your brain. Don't let the bad guys (bacteria) win. In the last ten years we have seen levels of stress skyrocket like never before and this has a destructive effect on our digestive health and our mental health.

We have an opportunity to move our own personal needle. Make eye contact; be present with someone that you love. Optimism is anti-inflammatory. See what we can be in contrast to or regardless of what is going on around us. Allow moderate delusional optimism to raise ourselves and others up.

Today I want to talk about peace and how to quiet the amygdala. These three things will help you stay more centered and calm. May you live in your heart and experience peace on earth.

Today I am talking about something essential to common humanity. We must choose to integrate mind, body spirit, and emotions and focus on our locus of control. This is when we need to go within. Stand for peace and let it begin with you.

Today I want to talk about the right versus wrong way of AGEing? AGE stands for Accelerated Glycolic End products. AGEs make us more susceptible to accelerated aging (wrinkles, etc.), type two diabetes, and less vitality. Our risk goes up along with our sugar intake. Here's how to lower your risk.

Taking a five- to twenty-minute walk in nature everyday will do wonders for your life. Surround yourself with the beauty of your surroundings. Touch a tree. Hug a tree. Your brain will thank you. Your brain will expand. Empathy and compassion will grow and you will become a better being.

We tend to lose a lot of energy when we discuss the "lack of character" that we are witnessing in global leaders. Perhaps it is time we take a look at our own lives and see what needs cleaning up? What habits and beliefs have your outgrown? Let go of that which no longer serves you.

This is all about epigenetic engagement to express your awesomeness. I am suggesting three practices you can start today to help you express your genes for the better.

Step back and discern your present life. How can you elevate where you are right now, to where you want to be? Don't wait for the perfection for it to happen the right way, be the right way. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough. This is a private quest. Don't look for someone to notice.

I hope this message touches the depth of your true nature. Enter into your true purpose. Get clear on the authenticity of your gifts and put them to work. You were chosen to do this work when you came to the planet. Live your noble art.

When we live our truth, we extend our lives. Stand up and stick out for purpose and possibility. Know the difference between being good and being true. Forge a path to honor your life's knowing.

Today I'm reminding you about the importance of glutathione and how it impacts so many areas of your life. Glutathione is the queen as she is in charge of the kingdom of your vitality. This is about proactive self care and your potential to upgrade every aspect of it.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of common humanity. Are you willing to take the shots, face the haters, in the name of the greater good for all? Be a part of the instrumentation of what it takes to bring out the best in yourself and others. Lead with your hearts knowing.

Today's message is brief. I was asking myself this morning, how can I be more loving, more kind, more compassionate? How can I lead with love - only always? Ask yourself, "what would love do now?" And from there you can live your best life.

In Hinduism and Buddhism there is a fundamental tradition of practicing Ahimsa, or nonviolence. This is all about being a peaceful activist and heroic social activity. Step into the truth of who you are and allow yourself to become that vision.

Good people doing good things is not enough. If you see injustice, you can't just sit still and be a good person. It's time to lean in to where the injustices are happening. Be a presentation of peace and possibility.

If you are an IPhone user, this message is mainly for you. How many times per week do you find yourself looking at your phone for no apparent reason? Perhaps you are seeking acknowledgment. We can give ourselves this needed validation in a more powerful way than any digital technology can.
