PP100: RARE: Sachin’s Recent Corporate Wellness Talk

Sinclair Kennally joins Sachin today for an in-depth course on how to detox from EMF. This conversation is filled with information and suggestions for lowering your EMF exposure and improving your health!   Key Takeaways: [1:02] Sachin is excited about his special guest, toxicity expert, Sinclair Kennally. He takes a moment to introduce Sinclair and invites Sinclair to tell how she got into toxicity and EMF.   [3:28] Sinclair had suffered chronic illness for much of her life. In her mid-twenties, she and her partner, Michael, moved in together and they both suffered a health crash within months. She later realized that the router they had hidden under the bed had interfered with their sleep. You really need to protect your sleep.   [6:37] Sachin talks about a sensor Sinclair sent him that revealed EMF toxicity in his home.   [8:14] There are several types of EMFs: Wireless radiation from Wi-Fi routers and cell phones, dirty electricity; and A/C fields measured as the voltage on your body. Measure for all types of EMF distress in the home wherever you spend the most time.   [11:36] Look at your eating areas. In a high-EMF environment, you cannot enter parasympathetic dominance states, for the rest-digest-repair mode. If you have digestive issues or you work with clients or patients with digestive issues, take note. EMF mitigation can be the key to making all of your protocols far more effective. [12:29] Sachin reveals an unexpected source of EMF in his bedroom.   [14:20] Sinclair and Michael had been working unsuccessfully on their health for years. When Michael threw out their router. even the cats stopped fighting and acted healthier. Michael had been very anxious at work. The dirty electricity in his office measured very high. Plug-in filters brought the dirty electricity down, along with staff sick days and contention. [18:20] Each EMF type affects 100% of the population. Thirty percent of us experience visible, measurable symptoms. Five percent of the population is considered electro-hypersensitive. Sachin shares a story about a child with a router under the bed. Removing the router improved the child’s behavior significantly. Children and pets don’t suppress how they feel.   [22:24] Things you can do right now to lower your EMF exposure at home: Make sure you are not exposed to unnecessary stimulation while you are trying to sleep; use a lamp timer to turn off your router at night. The farther away you are from your router during the day, the better. Unplug anything unnecessary in your bedroom to limit dirty electricity. Get rid of metal bedframes, which raise your body’s electricity.   [24:09] Sinclair tells of a patient struggling with a variety of health issues and how body voltage and dirty electricity played a role in her problems.   [25:30] Sinclair lists a variety of catastrophic conditions and symptoms linked to EMFs.in the home, including fertility issues. Why don’t we hear more about this on the news? EMFs are measurable and fixable.   [29:01] Sinclair is on a mission to help practitioners and people working on their health to be completely empowered in their own lives. She has taken mitigation measures in her home to keep her family safe and healthy even while using technology.   [30:19] How to get meters for your home investigation. [30:41] Sinclair invites the audience to get on the waitlist for her Rapid EMF Reset class in November. Start mitigating today by unplugging everything in your bedroom. The trajectory of your life could change from that, alone. Do an audit of your home. [32:28] Does SafeSleeve work? If you don’t have your phone on airplane mode, it is blasting you. Have shielding between your body and the device. Sinclair takes every phone call that she can through the computer to limit radiation. If you have to use your cell phone, holding the phone at arm’s length lowers exposure dramatically. Use the speaker and shielding.   [35:17] Sinclair gives her thoughts about putting your phone in a Faraday bag. Silver thread fabric bags dampen the signal. [36:20] There is a law in China requiring women who are pregnant to wear RF-protective clothing. [37:48] The Russian government helped develop the dirty electricity meter to help their citizens lower their risk from EMF exposure.   [38:26] Sachin thanks Sinclair for sharing her knowledge and signs off until next time.   Mentioned in this episode Perfect Practice Live Dave Chappelle: When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong Dr. Ben Lynch SafeSleeve Signs film Environmental Health Trust Stetzer Electricity Stetzerizer Microsurge Meter   Link to Sinclair Kennally’s Rapid EMF CLass waitlist: Detoxrejuvenation.com/pages/programs-waitlist   More about your host Sachin Patel How to speak with Sachin Go one step further and Become The Living Proof Perfect Practice Live sachin@becomeproof.com   Books by Sachin Patel: Perfect Practice: How to Build a Successful Functional Medical Business, Attract Your Ideal Patients, Serve Your Community and Get Paid What You’re Worth The Motivation Molecule: The Biological Secrets To Eliminate Procrastination, Skyrocket Productivity, and Get Sh!t Done   More about today’s guest Sinclair Kennally DetoxRejuvenation.com   Tweetables:   “You really need to protect your sleep. … Priority number one is understanding the three different types of EMFs that affect you the most, and protecting your sleep so that your body can heal.” — Sinclair Kennally   “In a high-EMF environment, you cannot enter parasympathetic dominance states.” — Sinclair Kennally   “This stuff travels through walls, guys. Those are not barriers. Barriers are Faraday cages and shielding specifically designed to stop frequencies in their tracks.” — Sinclair Kennally   “The more we live on our devices, the harder it is to show up and be present with people. We actually lose those skills.” — Sinclair Kennally   “This is not an edgy topic; we just don’t get to hear about it on the news because Big Telecom is actually five to six times more powerful in political lobbying, at least in the United States, than Big Pharma is.” — Sinclair Kennally   “We’re on a mission to help practitioners and to help people working on their health to be completely empowered in their own lives. … I’m not expecting you to move to the woods and live in the dark on leaves. … I live in a city right up against other people.” — Sinclair Kennally “If you have to keep your phone on, please don’t put it on your body, but if you’re going to put it on your body, please use the shielding between your body and the phone.” — Sinclair Kennally

EP090: Functional Relationships with Aaron and Jocelyn Freeman

Today, Sachin welcomes his friend and mentor Cyd Alper-Sedgwick. She is a second-generation Feng Shui master with a strong, intuitive practice. She comes on the podcast to share her expertise, build a Bagua map with listeners and identify the multitude of low-hanging fruit that Feng Shui offers.   Tune-in with a pen and paper for this informative discussion on how to Maximise your flow state and your energy using the principles of Feng Shui through all of your working and living spaces.   Key Takeaways: [:45] Sachin welcomes Cyd and explains how for almost a decade, her friendship and mentorship have helped him navigate challenging transitions from both a professional and personal standpoint.   [5:10] What exactly is Feng Shui? Cyd breaks down the facts about this art & science. It is a tool that you should use to get the very best out of your living spaces.   [9:28] Are you being energetically sabotaged? Sachin asks that you think back on moments when you walked into a space and felt immediately better, or worse. These are states we can influence!   [12:42] Cyd shares how the pandemic has affected her business and what the principal things she has noticed working with people in their home recently.   [15:15] Pull out a piece of paper and build a Bagua map along with Cyd!   [31:21] Are parts of your Bagua map missing? Cyd explains how she has lived in several houses where areas are missing and what you can do to cure those areas.   [32:11] Cyd shares some low-hanging fruits of Feng Shui! Make certain there is nothing underneath your bed. Don’t accumulate furniture to display it. Keep furniture a little ways from the wall. Walk into your space, close your eyes and feel: use your intuition. Mind your art! Don’t create a triangular void in a wall corner. The master bedroom and kitchen are sacred spaces. Make your bed every day. There should be no mirrors in the bedroom (or covered at nighttime). Don’t have pointy plants in the house, they cut Chi energy. Round leaves create wealth but do not place them in your wealth area. Face the door of the room you’re in — be in the command position, if impossible, use mirrors. Books and magazines you’re no longer using will create negative energy — the same goes for old clothing.   [47:30] Cyd shares her final words of wisdom, Sachin signs off and invites the community to send in their requests.   Mentioned in this episode Bagua map   More about your guest Find out more about Cyd Alper-Sedgwick on her Company website Full Circle Feng Shui | LinkedIn | Facebook and at the Living Proof Institute   More about your host Sachin Patel How to speak with Sachin Go one step further and Become The Living Proof Perfect Practice Live sachin@becomeproof.com   Books by Sachin Patel: Perfect Practice: How to Build a Successful Functional Medical Business, Attract Your Ideal Patients, Serve Your Community and Get Paid What You’re Worth The Motivation Molecule: The Biological Secrets To Eliminate Procrastination, Skyrocket Productivity, and Get Sh!t Done   Tweetables:   “There are eight different schools of Feng Shui and seven of them don’t work very well in the west.” — Cyd Alper-Sedgwick   “Something as subtle as your paint or the direction you’re facing, even what’s underneath your bed, these are the things that can make a huge difference.” — Sachin Patel   “We don’t feel good because our surroundings don’t feel good. This pandemic has given people an opportunity to stop, look around their homes and go ‘Oh! this has annoyed me for years and I have never taken the time to fix it!’” — Cyd Alper-Sedgwick   “I’ve noticed — particularly with American people — they use their houses only for taking a shower, grabbing breakfast and then they leave. The pandemic is changing this.” — Cyd Alper-Sedgwick   “You can Feng Shui your body, your desk, your car, you can Feng Sui anything! Well maybe not a doughnut, anyway.” — Cyd Alper-Sedgwick   “Do I have to paint my walls all these different colors? No, please don’t, I don’t want to be responsible for that!” — Cyd Alper-Sedgwick

EP088: 21+ Principles for Personal and Professional Success in 2021

Sachin met John Ruhlin at a retreat on fatherhood where he was invited to speak in 2021. A few weeks after the retreat, Sachin received a package in the mail which contained John’s book, gift-wrapped in the most amazing way.   John Ruhlin joins the show today to share how nurturing the relationships you already have might be the most important investment you make. Tune in to find out what Giftology does and how it can help you grow your business.   Key Takeaways: [:45] Sachin welcomes John Rulin — thanks him for the gifts he’s received — and asks him to talk about the timeless wisdom he learned from a small town attorney that got him into gifting, what his firm does, and why it’s all so very important. He shares a few funny anecdotes along the way.   [11:30] Humans are tribal creatures and we are wired to want to reciprocate to genuine generosity. However, North-America has transactionalized gift-giving in a way that has robbed it of meaning: Christmas, Birthday, Anniversary, those are table-stakes. … You need to start showing up in a way that nurtures the relationship.   [14:15] John’s best gift comes with a very touching story. We all crave to be seen, for our legacies to have meaning, this leads to a discussion on the words token vs artifacts — Hint, one of them is a bad word for John!   [22:21] Sachin talks about his own gift-receiving experiences that speak to John’s point… People tend to invest way more into prospects and people that tell them “no” rather than nurturing the relationships they already have.   [24:55] Inspire your warm network! John talks about the relationship he built with Cameron Herold over 20 years which eventually led to about 50X return on investment. John shares the equation and exactly how much of your net profit you should reinvest in gifting.   [30:30] John shares a few thoughtful gift ideas in various budget brackets — but it does start with the timing of the gift. Go to Giftology.com and download the playbook to start a relationship plan for the “WHO”; the who is always more important than the what.   [36:55] Take care of the family, take care of the home, take care of the inner circle are all things Giftology has been preaching for 20 years. The world of 2020 has started to appreciate this on a whole new level.   [39:35] Interpersonal gifts are trickier and business gifts. John shares what he did for his wife’s last birthday — this one is packed with tips — you should get a handle on your language of love.   [51:13] The audience gets a chance to unmute and ask John their questions! From what is a business relationship’s love language to the importance of congruence with your values.   [50:50] Sachin thanks John for sharing so much of his knowledge and wisdom and signs off until next time.   Mentioned in this episode Giftology   More about your guest Find out more about John Rulin   More about your host Sachin Patel How to speak with Sachin Go one step further and Become The Living Proof Perfect Practice Live sachin@becomeproof.com   Books by Sachin Patel: Perfect Practice: How to Build a Successful Functional Medical Business, Attract Your Ideal Patients, Serve Your Community and Get Paid What You’re Worth The Motivation Molecule: The Biological Secrets To Eliminate Procrastination, Skyrocket Productivity, and Get Sh!t Done

EP087: Giftology with John Ruhlin and Sachin Patel

Josh Clemente joins the mentorship group today to share his journey from being a senior engineer at SpaceX and Hyperloop to founding Levels, a metabolic blood sugar tracking company.   Tune in for a super interesting and informative discussion on the importance of owning your metabolic data, the developing relationship between people and their health, and how technology is coming in to put more information into their hands.   Key Takeaways: [:45] Sachin welcomes Josh Clemente and asks him to share how he came to be so interested in blood sugar after having spent 7 years at SpaceX developing life-support systems for astronauts!   [5:47] Josh’s journey from the bottom began by chatting with a friend and data analyst who indicated to him that endocrine dysfunction was a predictor of early death, that blood sugar was a good indicator of endocrine function, and that a simple CVS finger stick might give him some data.   [8:12] Taking your physician’s word for law isn’t always the best course, Josh explains how being allowed to access and share your metabolic data benefits both practitioner and patient.   [10:35], Unlike HRV monitors, CGMs in the United-States are still classified as Class II or III medical devices and as such require a prescription. But the technology provides a window into our health that more and more people are demanding access to and the regulation is bound to adapt to follow suit.   [14:55] Limitations are mostly centered around the differences between a medical device designed for a patient population and a consumer device designed for a consumer’s delight in mind. Josh also explains how certain things have to be left to the medical field to ensure patient safety.   [18:46] Surprises in blood sugar! Sachin and Josh share their aha moments with their own readings.   [22:50] Inter-individual variability is something Josh is fascinated by and the implications for further research are interesting in the sense that contextual, body composition, hormonal, and even genetic and microbiome factors seem to be at play in how each person metabolizes sugar.   [28:04] Sachin shares a patient story and Josh talks about the new Levels 4-week program and the psychological effects of having data available.   [35:07] Josh’s personal blood sugar routine and what he’s discovered about fasting.   [40:20] Levels is all about answering the questions “what should I eat and why?” Josh explains the nature of the software they’ve built as well as how it all works.   [47:35] CGM for weight loss isn’t a panacea, but Josh does share the weight loss averages in the existing cohorts and the interesting fact that Levels isn’t a weight management app at all.   [50:50] Sachin thanks Josh for sharing so much of his knowledge and experience and signs off until next time.   Mentioned in this episode Levels   More about your guest Find out more about Josh Clemente   More about your host Sachin Patel How to speak with Sachin Go one step further and Become The Living Proof Perfect Practice Live sachin@becomeproof.com   Books by Sachin Patel: Perfect Practice: How to Build a Successful Functional Medical Business, Attract Your Ideal Patients, Serve Your Community and Get Paid What You’re Worth The Motivation Molecule: The Biological Secrets To Eliminate Procrastination, Skyrocket Productivity, and Get Sh!t Done
