During the COVID-19 lock down, Booking.com have now joined AirBnB and closed the calendars of all of us in the serviced accommodation industry – for those of us still hosting key workers this makes it more difficult to be seen, but there are many key workers looking for emergency and short-term accommodation while they work but now cannot find anywhere to stay!

So this is the perfect time to make your existence known online on different portals and other places, as well as highlighting how you are caring for your guests and have their welfare at heart.  Ideas for how to manage your business and be more visible are here for you.

"The purpose of education is to know God and make Him known."  Do you believe that?  I think when it comes to spiritual education, like Bible reading and sermons, we would say so.  And there are important applications of this phrase upon how you and I are using the things we learn in study and at a church.  But would you say this phrase holds true with schools?  Is the purpose of science and english and math: to know God and share Him?  Well, it used to be.  Schools were founded on this purpose.  Things have changed.  But we can recapture the purpose of education on a family level!  Also, even beyond school we grow in knowledge every day, don't we?  Why are you learning new things and how are you using it?  Let's do all of this in the God Box, and relate all new growth to His work!

- What is the purpose of education 

- How does that purpose live in our spiritual education

- Can we apply this same principle to secular education

- How can we use Science and English as tools to know God and make Him known

- Are you using all new learning to the glory of the name of God.  How

At Hope Alliance we pursue Genuine Connections with God and others in our worship gatherings and our lives.  Through the Gospel, we our known and loved by God in such a way that we can be genuine with Him.  That in turn leads us to genuinely connect with others in the same way.

Pastor Chris Jones preaches on Galatians 4:8-20.

The world keeps telling us that we should believe we are "enough", but I'm here you to tell you that you're not!  You also are.  That's the way it works with Jesus.
It's a balance; an alignment of enough of me and abundantly more than enough of Him.
The audio quality isn't great here.  This is a talk that I gave at the ladies' retreat at my church last March.  I recorded it on my phone, not knowing it would become a podcast one day!  So, I apologize for the audio quality, but I think you'll make it through.

In this episode, Claire Leong joins the podcast to discuss our call to embrace the power of biblical vulnerability. God created us to live in authentic connection with Him and with others. When we don't feel known, we can feel very isolated, misunderstood, and insecure. There is so much empowerment in vulnerability and this episode will shed some fresh light on it!

About the Speaker

Claire Leong may have been born in the Midwest, but growing up on the west coast has made her a California girl at heart. Growing up in Northern California, Claire established her love for academics, theater, and God – she became a Christian when she was 15 years old. She moved south and earned her Theater degree at UCLA, married her incredible husband Ben, and they now have their two girls, Melody and Hazel. She currently works in the IT department for National University System, and spends her off hours having fun with her family, crocheting, and serving God with her voice and her talents. Through various life challenges, Claire has come to appreciate our need for connection with others, and how Satan can use isolation to keep us from seeing and believing in God’s word.

Episode Notes

1 John 1:5-9 - Living in the light gives us authentic connection to God and others and brings healing. 

• Confession of sin: we have to confess to find healing! 
• Wrestling to be approved vs "known" 
• We feel so separated when we have things we're hiding- because we are! Hiding brings insecurity. 

Sometimes we feel like people won't understand our brokenness, so we stop sharing the dark places of our hearts- this isn't how God intended us to live! He wants us to live free and live known. 

Admitting our junk & sin doesn't make us less worthy of God's love. His grace isn't based on us, it's just placed on us- so there's no need to stay hidden. 

Social media is one of the biggest deceivers of connection. 

We find meaningful connection in the hardest of times. But we have to choose to bring ourselves out of isolation. 

Practical: Have planned time in your schedule where you connect with people and have opportunities to talk on a deep level.

God wants to know us and for us to be known by others. We are purified by Jesus, we just have to own our brokenness and let others in. We need to take initiative to invite others into our lives, struggles, and hurts. 

Vulnerability is intentional emotional exposure. There's a lot of empowerment in vulnerability. Lead by example if others don't do this with you- it gives them permission to be more open with you and ultimately God. We need to be patient and gracious with those we share our hearts with- it's more about being known and honoring God than about their response. 

Galatians 6:4 "Let everyone be devoted to fulfill the work God has given them to do with excellence, and their joy will be in doing what’s right and being themselves, and not in being affirmed by others." (TPT) 

Challenges:

1. Think about something that you're really afraid to tell someone. Own it. And then find someone trustworthy you can talk to about it. 
2. If you are not already set up on a recurring date with someone to connect, then add that into your schedule. Find time to be in each other's lives: to be open, honest, and feel connection.

I recently posted the following to my newsletter weekly roundup:

"I only did two workouts this week and was sore as hell. You can view both my workouts in .pdf format by clicking here for Workout 1 and clicking here for Workout 2. The workouts were supplied to me by the wicked smart guys over at Neu.fit and I performed them while wearing the NEUBIE, which is NeuFit’s patent-pending electro-stimulation device.

NEUBIE is an acronym for “NEURO-BIO-ELECTRIC STIMULATOR.” The NEUBIE can find neurological deficits in the human body with incredible precision, and has two main benefits – 1) it provides direct current (DC), and 2) it matches the signals the nervous system already sends naturally on its own. Using DC is important because it has numerous, positive biological effects. DC fields accelerate the body’s own physiological processes of healing, repair, and regeneration.

Although this has been known for a long time, most devices out there are alternating current (AC). These devices are cheaper and easier to engineer, and most people don’t know the difference. Unfortunately, they don’t have anywhere near the effect at the cellular level. The NEUBIE is admittedly expensive but incredible for rehab or for training. It now holds a hallowed place in my gym. You can contact NEUFit here and mention my name for $1000 off your purchase, or you can travel to Austin, Texas to have these guys work on injuries or re-train your muscles in their gym. Ask for Chaz or Garrett if you call these folks."

Here are a few video demos of me using this very unique electrical muscle stimulation device:

Known as "The Health Engineer," my guest on today's show Garrett Salpeter has taken his training in Engineering and Neuroscience and used it to create NeuFit. By combining next-generation technology with protocols from physical therapy and functional neurology, NeuFit helps people tap into the power of their neurology.

For most people, that leads to improved function and a quicker recovery from an injury/surgery or reaching fitness goals faster than they ever thought possible. For a few, this work has even meant being able to get out of a wheelchair and walk again.

Now practitioners all over the country are adding the technology into their medical, physical therapy, and fitness practices, and Garrett is passionate about teaching NeuFit to them so that this work can impact as many lives as possible.

• A NEUBIE is a Neuro Bioelectric stimulator
• NEU Fit speaks to Garrett's conviction that if we upgrade our nervous systems, it has many positive consequences in our lives
• Why NHL. Player Duncan Keith Calls Himself a Biohacker

• Direct current rather than alternating current
  • Better for regeneration and healing in the body
• The Body Electric by Dr. Robert Becker
•  Focused on sensory (afferent) rather than muscle contraction (efferent)
• "Russian Current" is a particular wave form based on tests conducted in the 1980's, in Russia
• Less motor output, more sensory input
• Neuro muscular reeducation
• Being able to move through the contraction expedites the healing process

• You want to stress the body, then let it recover and super compensate
• SAID Principle: Specific Adaptation to an Imposed Demand
• You need real time feedback
• Suppressed HRV during most intense workout is ideal
• Auto regulating training based on the nervous system

• Address the dysfunction, not the symptom
• Active treatments; not lying down
• Reincorporating the movement patterns
• Creating other feedback to the brain; reduces threat response
  • Go higher on the current, sometimes in the same session

• You gain more recruitment with less external load and less strain on the joints
• Allows to train without pain, makes exercise safer
• Simple bodyweight movements: bands, joint movements
• Progress to heavier weights, kettle bells

• Most often used by professionals, under professional supervision
• Body builders are pleased with the results after just a few sets vs. a long workout in the gym
• Not required to be sore to build strength
• Stimulate yourself into a depressed state; when recovered, do it again
• Typical schedule: 2x/week, sometimes multiple daily in extreme cases

• Book: The Wahl's Protocol
• MS patient experienced very positive results after 2 days working with Garrett
  • Had enough muscle control to lift legs, tie shoes
  • Took several steps holding her husband's hand
• TBI and concussions:
  • Woman with TBI, making slow progress for 7 years; made remarkable progress with the neubie

• Recommended to work with a trained professional, preferably in a clinic
• Find a directory of therapists who use the NEUBIE at neu.fit
• Not often covered by insurance
• You can own one with doctor's approval (FDA covered device)
• Packages designed for clinics as well as for individuals

What you are about to discover in this podcast is one of the most advanced, fringe, cutting-edge biohacks and forays into self-experimentation I've ever done...

...a full body stem-cell makeover at the Docere Clinic in Salt Lake City, Utah...including a little-known type of compound called an "exosome". Dr. Harry Adelson, my first guest on today's podcast, began his training in regenerative injection therapy (prolotherapy) in 1998 while in his final year at The National College of Naturopathic Medicine, in Portland, Oregon after having been cured of a rock-climbing injury with prolotherapy.

During his residency program in Integrative Medicine at the Yale/Griffin Hospital in Derby, Connecticut, he volunteered after hours in a large homeless shelter in Bridgeport, Connecticut, providing regenerative injection therapies to the medically underserved while gaining valuable experience. He opened Docere Clinics in Salt Lake City in 2002 and from day one, his practice has been 100% regenerative injection therapies for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain conditions.

In 2006 he incorporated platelet-rich plasma and ultrasound-guided injection into his armamentarium, in 2010, bone marrow aspirate concentrate and adipose-derived stem cells, and in 2013, fluoroscopic-guided injection (motion X-ray). Since February of 2010, Dr. Adelson has performed over 4,000 bone marrow and adipose-derived adult stem cell procedures, placing him among those most experienced in the world with the use of autologous stem cells for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain conditions.

Dr. Amy Killen is also a guest on today's show. She joined Docere Medical after moving to Utah from Portland, Oregon, where she was the Medical Director of an anti-aging and regenerative medicine specialty practice. Dr. Killen’s medical training began in Dallas, where she attended medical school at UT Southwestern and received her M.D. degree, graduating in the top 10% of her class. She completed a residency in Emergency Medicine at the University of Arizona and served as Chief Resident during her final year.

After working as a board-certified emergency physician for more than 7 years, Dr. Killen began studying and training in anti-aging, regenerative, and aesthetic medicine in hopes of approaching patients’ wellness and beauty from a different perspective and with a new toolbox of innovative and effective treatment options. Advanced training has included completion of the fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine through the American Association of Anti-Aging Medicine and certification training in Age Management Medicine.

Dr. Killen is certified by the National Institute of Medical Aesthetics in both basic and advanced cosmetic injections and trained with Dr. Lisbeth Roy to learn the O-Shot and P-Shot PRP procedures. Further PRP injection training was provided by PRP Life Lift and she completed the Hair Coach certification program with Dr. Alan Bauman in Florida, which taught a comprehensive approach to non-surgical hair loss.

Dr. Killen learned how to extract and process stem cells as part of the U.S. Stem Cell Training Course taught by leading stem cell scientist Dr. Kristin Comella. Dr. Amy Killen has also spent many hours in the operating suite learning directly from Harry Adelson N.D. at Docere Clinics.

Dr. Killen has spoken nationally about PRP and stem cell therapies and teaches a physician training course for ApexBiologix outlining current best practices for using regenerative therapies in aesthetics and sexual optimization.

During my discussion with Harry and Amy, you'll discover:

-How Harry got started with prolotherapy and PRP for pain management in farmers and construction workers...

-The “Stem Cell Theory of Aging", which states that biologic aging is a result of loss function and population of stem cells in musculoskeletal tissues...

-How Harry is harvesting stem cells from bone marrow, supplementing them with exosomes (the “currency” of stem cells, the inter-cellular communication blocks), and then injecting them into all major moving parts as well as skin of face, scalp, and penis...

-Why exosomes may be the future of stem cell therapy...

-Why umbilical and amniotic stem cells could potentially be dangerous due to exposing the body to foreign DNA...

-What "MSC's" are, why are they different and better than other stem cell therapies, and how they differentiate into musculoskeletal tissues and have been called “medical signaling cells” because they trigger the healing of damaged tissues...

-Why somebody would undergo a full body stem cell treatment, and whether is it going to "rejuvenate all of the cells in my body"...

-What to expect after a full body stem cell makeover...

Interview with Dr. Amy Killen:

-What PRP therapy is, and how it differs from stem cells...

-What happens when you inject stem cells into a man’s "unit", and why Amy injected Ben...

-Why Amy injects stem cells and PRP into vaginas, and how the O-Shot improves the power and duration of female orgasms...

-The secrets of the vampire breast lift and other cosmetic procedures she has done...

-What causes hair loss, and how to fix it with stem cells...

-How to use stem cells and PRP to get a non-surgical facelift, and why Amy injected my face and scalp...

-What V-cells are and how they work...

-Post-treatment care and biohacks to enhance recovery and efficacy of the treatment... -And much more!
