Potcast 231: Talking Shit With the Rabbi
It feels like I’m in the opening chapter of my sixth life of this lifetime. A whole lot of shit happened this summer and I landed in a quaint community outside of Austin, TX. When I asked one of the locals what the town’s residents call themselves she replied, “Family.” I hugged her and knew I’d feel right at home here.
A couple of weeks ago I was invited into the local writer’s group who is dishing out heaps of tough love every week critiquing my writing. My wine country side hustle in Mendo has been replaced with waiting tables a few nights a week at a local hot spot. I also set up every Saturday morning at the farmers’ market spreading the gospel of regenerative agriculture and plant medicine over cups of mesquite tea. And I gotta say, aside from my lifestyle shocking a couple of older fellas in my writers group, everyone has been open, warm, and welcoming.
In fact, I met today’s guest right here in this charming little town two holiday seasons ago while I was home visiting family. Crystal had recently discovered him and was on-board with his message about mineral supplementation to treat the root of what’s ailing us - from skin conditions to organ failure.
In order for our body’s systems and processes to function correctly, we need the proper balance of minerals being supplied and replenished. And the four powerhouse minerals responsible for our bodily functions are Magnesium, Chloride, Potassium, and Sodium. The absence of these four macro minerals can cause abnormalities in the body that can result in a variety of symptoms. This is why it is important to constantly restore our bodies with minerals and electrolytes daily.
And this is where the problem lies… it’s not easy to get the minerals we need because our food and water supplies are stripped of them. The majority of water is osmosis filtered, which leaves clean water with no nutrients. Soil is either poisoned or depleted which translates to fresh food with little to no nutritional value. And our overall consumption of processed foods and refined sugars is off the charts. On the whole, humans are mineral deficient, dehydrated, and constipated which is the sticky foundation that disease builds upon.
But the good news is, solutions abound if you’re looking for them. And they often don’t come in the package you’re expecting. Kind of like today’s guest, Rabbi Donald Maher. A long standing member of the Lockhart community, Donald lived a number of lives before stepping onto his current path and becoming a Rabbi. Rabbi Donald has been a wellness practitioner for over twenty years, working on the likes of Earl Campbell; America’s favorite running back to Jill Mills; World’s Strongest Woman Champion and police and military personnel. His studies and discoveries were inspired by personal health struggles and his expertise in system mechanics. Rabbi Donald created his own modality called Myochanics and developed the MedSolutions line of ionic mineral supplements. He believes his spiritual return to Hebrew studies is what lead to this resurrection of the wisdoms and principles of past cultural generations. His ability to articulate a picture when it comes to health in a no-nonsense way mixed with a little humor makes learning how to operate this vessel more enjoyable.
Before Rabbi, I didn’t spend too much time thinking about shit in the literal sense.
But today we’re talking about the importance of poop for removing toxins and improving our overall health. We talk about mineral deficiencies due to alcohol consumption and cannabis consumption and the most bioavailable solution to avoid symptoms like cramps, headaches and hangovers. This potcast is full of stories, sermons, and practical information for servicing your body’s systems without leaning on pill-based crutches provided by the pharmaceutical industry.
‘After the Show’ Notes
I hope this conversation gave you a new perspective on being full of shit. And if you want to explore the world of ionized minerals and how to incorporate macro minerals into your daily wellness routine or strategically utilize micro minerals to combat dis-ease in the body, click the Med Solutions link below.
Rabbi Donald is available for in-person or phone consultations and ships MedSolutions all over the world. Rabbi Donald says that family, community and leadership are commodities worth more than gold and silver. And I couldn’t agree more. So if you learned a thing or two during this discussion, I hope you’ll share it with your smoke circle.
Rabbi mentions the ancient art of balneotherapy during the show. Learn more about that here. "Balneotherapy" is the practice of immersing a subject in mineral water or mineral-laden mud; it is part of the traditional medicine of many cultures and originated in hot springs, cold water springs, or other sources of such water, like the Dead Sea.
I first began seeing Rabbi because of a skin and scalp irritations I was developing. I learned from Rabbi that it was a fungal problem. And boron, chromium, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium and zinc are the seven anti fungal minerals. Fungus cannot live in the presence of these minerals. If you’ve heard of the growing popularity of the Candida Diet then you know that these fungal outbreaks are rampant. The Candida Diet is a low-sugar, anti-inflammatory diet that eliminates added sugars, gluten, alcohol, and foods that can damage gut health. The minerals pair nicely with this diet to bring your body back to homeostasis.
Advice from Rabbi: Eat abundantly, digest rapidly and defecate frequently.
