In this bonus episode adapted from National Journal's webinar series "Hotline Power Hour," Hotline Editor Kirk A. Bado is joined by national correspondent Zac Weisz, Senate races correspondent Matt Holt, gubernatorial races correspondent Mary Frances McGowan and House races correspondent Michelle Shen. Listen as the Hotline team discuss what's approaching in this stretch of the campaign trail in 2023.

In this bonus episode of National Journal Radio, join the Hotline's virtual newsroom as they analyze the closing weeks of the campaign and discuss the biggest storylines heading into the midterms.

Today, in conversation with Sophia, Mason speaks to the subject of brain health, touching on the western perspective and expanding into the more holistic and conceptual Taoist lens- a perspective more geared towards long-term brain health. 

The modern mind certainly has to work for its peace and solitude. Pervasive technology, busy schedules, high-stress lifestyles and poor sleep habits put the average brain under substantial pressure. Which poses the question- What are you doing to protect and cultivate the health of your brain long-term? What are your desires and intentions for long-term brain health? 

In this episode, you will learn about nootropic herbs for brain health, how SuperFeast's potent neural nectar blend protects and upgrades mental acuity and why brain health is ultimately a result of full-body harmony and healthy flowing Qi through the organ systems.

Mason and Sophia discuss:

-The Dantiens.

-The Three Brains.

-What is a nootropic?

-The blood brain barrier.

-The six extraordinary organs.

-The function of The Sea of Marrow.

-What's your brain health intention?

-The Brain and the Kidney connection. 

-The best herbs for long-term brain health.

-The SuperFeast Brain Bundle-how to use it.

-How Jing herbs improve brain health and Intelligence.

-Neural Nectar contraindications and considerations. 

-Mason's personal story behind creating the Neural Nectar blend.

-Why the QI Blend and Neural Nectar Blend work so well together.

As we enter the last month of Winter here in the Southern Hemisphere, it's very tempting to daydream about the sweet Spring air and warmer weather that awaits us. However, as we will learn in today's Winter podcast, this last month of Winter is critical to how we show up in Spring, Summer, and beyond. So as much as you can- REST, sleep, nurture and nourish yourself in these last days before spring arrives...

Reflection, restoration, rest- through these Winter practices, we are able to access the wisdom of the Kidneys and the cultivation of Jing that will sustain us through Spring, the peak of Summer, and beyond.

Today on the podcast, Tahnee and Mason share the practices, Kidney herbs, and Taoist wisdom of Winter/ Water time in a way that calls us to reflect and ask ourselves- Are we getting enough rest? If we observe the health of the collective during our current Winter season, the answer points to no. Tahnee dives deep into the energy of the Kidneys- explaining why rest/sleep in these cooler water cultivating months is critical to our vitality in every season. 

Mason speaks to the Kidneys relationship with fear- when it's useful- when it's destructive, and how when we surrender to the stillness and darkness this season grants us, there is an opportunity for profound transformation- spiritually-mentally-physically. 

This conversation comes at a most significant time, bringing up the much broader and ubiquitous question of sustainability. How sustainable are the lifestyles we live- and at what cost do they come to our health?

"I'm sleeping until seven most mornings, and I'm really feeling this deep nourishment from sleep at the moment. Obviously, we have a business and children, so naturally, we still end up burning the candle. But how many of us push through winter not getting that hibernation time, that deep rest of restoration in the Qi and the Organs? Then we get sick, and then we're suddenly crook all the time. It's like this because- as a culture, we keep the momentum going all year round. We don't have this time of acknowledging and making sacred the rest and the sleep that we require". 

-Tahnee Taylor

Mason and Tahnee discuss:

-Qi Gong

-Jing energy

-Qi cultivation

-The organ wheel

-Fear and the Kidneys.

-Yin Yang Kidney herbs.

-Why we need rest in Winter.

-Herbs and foods for Winter.

-Transforming fear into wisdom.

-The Heart and Kidney meridians.

-The esoteric nature of the Kidneys.

-Balancing our Yin and Yang energy.

-The Water element and the Kidneys.

-Why we need sleep to cultivate Jing.

-Why we protect ourselves against the cold.

-Practices and meditations to support us through Winter.

-What the menstrual flow says about our Jing/Kidney essence.

Today is the first of many podcasts to come, where we take a monograph-style deep dive into herbs and blends within the SuperFeast apothecary. Being 30 days of JING- and being our star foundation blend, it felt fitting to start with the JING blend. 

In dialogue with Sophia- a long-time SuperFeast team member, stellar human being, and herb educator, Mason discusses the process of developing the JING blend, its beautiful balance of Yin/Yang herbs, and why it's an essential foundational blend for most people. We use the term foundational because the JING blend specifically focuses on servicing blood, core energy, libido, bones, marrow, longevity, brain capacity, youthfulness, buoyancy, and general hormonal regulation. In short, it's the blend to go to when you start to feel exhaustion and fatigue settling within your system.

In this episode, Mason talks in depth about Jing essence- the driving force, resilience, and momentum that allows us to meet life with optimal capacity and stay grounded through the most challenging and animated times. As with everything we do at SuperFeast, the intention of evolving towards elderhood with grace and ease is bound to our Jing essence- our ability to cultivate, store and use it wisely.

Mason goes through the individual herbs within the JING blend detailing their herbal actions, why he incorporated them in the blend, and the organ systems they tonify and work through. It's one thing to take a herb/blend and see results as they permeate through the body- but to understand the herbal actions and grasp how they work within your system- while feeling that action and seeing results takes healing to another level. Mason also weaves in a few of the mystical lore-based Classical Chinese Medicine stories behind some of the individual herbs, taking us back to the magical roots of this revered ancient herbal system.

Mason and Sophia discuss:

-Jing, Qi and Shen.

-Jing and Lung function.

-Jing and Spleen function.

-Jing and Kidney function

-Prenatal and postnatal Jing.

-Herbal actions of the JING blend.

-Signs of Jing depletion within the body. 

-Why JING blend is great for menopause.

-How JING blend stops premature ageing.

-When to incorporate JING blend into your life.

-JING testimonials that have transformed lives.

-How the JING blend services the Kidneys and Lungs.

-Sourcing regions and Di Dao for each of the herbs in JING blend.

-JING blend; a great grounding-introductory product to the SuperFeast range.

Are you living a life of excess? Do you feel like your battery pack is running on empty; and in constant need of a recharge? It may be time to check in with your Adrenal Glands (aka. Adrenals) and see how they're holding up. 

We're just over halfway through 30 days of JING- the month where we give our Adrenals and Kidneys the nourishment and recharge they deserve. Today on the podcast, we're bringing one of favourite recordings out of the SuperFeast catalogue to keep you inspired and aligned for the remaining weeks of 30 Days of Jing and beyond.

Mason, naturopath Dan Sipple, and herbalist Sage Dammers go deep in delivering vital knowledge on Adrenal health, Adrenal fatigue, and why these relatively tiny glands that are the powerhouse of the endocrine system play such a critical role in our day-to-day function.

Each of them bringing their own unique wisdom and expertise to the conversation, Mason, Dan, and Sage lay out the foundations of Adrenal health, how they function, their role within the endocrine system, how they become fatigued, and the chronic illness that can set in when the symptoms of fatigue get ignored.

A massive part of this conversation is dedicated to herbs/supplements that support Adrenal gland function, how gut health supports our Endocrine system and how to revitalise the Adrenals and get them back functioning optimally after fatigue.

Free birth, sovereign birth, natural birth, undisturbed birth, DIY birth, no matter how you describe it, the reclamation of birth by women away from the medical system is a beautiful thing to witness and be a part of as a birth partner. Today on the podcast, we are celebrating the wild pregnancy and free birth experience Tahnee and Mason journeyed through to bring their beautiful son Leo into the world the way they envisioned. 

There has honestly never been a podcast that we've had so many requests for and questions about than today's episode. Over this two-part birth podcast series, Tahnee and Mason will be answering all the questions asked, plus telling the story of their journey from conception to postpartum. Recorded only three weeks after giving birth, Tahnee talks very openly about her experience of bringing her son into the world and laboring undisturbed at home with only Mason and Aiya present. Tahnee and Mason discuss how they prepared for the birth, mentally, physically, individually, and as a couple, the fears that came up and were integrated, why they chose to birth the way they did, and why it's so important to protect the ceremonial gateway of birth. There's a special guest appearance from baby Leo too, with lots of adorable baby cooing in the background (it's heart-melting), plus some suspense at the end that will have you tuning in for Part two. 

Tahnee and Mason discuss:

-Birth as Ceremony.

-Mason's advice for birth partner's.

-Birth as a cultivation of Jing, Qi, Shen.

-There is no right or wrong way to birth.

-Mother's advocating for themselves in birth.

-Ultrasounds and scans; the pro's and con's.

-What Tahnee did to prepare her body for birth.

-Knowing what can go wrong and being prepared.

-Knowing your rights when you're in a hospital system.

-Why Tahnee and Mason chose to do a free birth course.

-Fears that come up for Tahnee during birth and pregnancy.

-Energy cultivation work that helped Tahnee prepare for birth.

-Tahnee and Mason's birth with Aiya compared to Leo's birth.

-How Tahnee and Mason prepared their birth space and birth altar.

-The trauma from the western medical system inflicted on women, family and babies.

Are you looking to ignite the dulled flame of your sexual essence? Are you feeling depleted and lacking lustre for the day, let alone for having a robust lib*do? Perhaps you're looking to support your sexual vigour so you can continue to thrive, love life, and enjoy sex well into your later years. We're all sexual beings, and having the energy, spirit, and capacity to express ourselves in such a way is the spark that keeps us inspired and in love with life.

Earlier this year, Mason did a live webinar on the topic of Lib*do and how Daoist tonic herbalism serves as a beautiful gateway into the cultivation of lifelong practices that will continue to expand sexual capacity, sexual vigour, and keep our essence burning strong well into our 60's, 70's and 80's. The webinar was so well received; that we've decided to make it an episode on the podcast.

This episode is a holistic, integrated guide to establishing your intention and awareness of where you want your sexual vigour and capacity to be in 10, 20, and 30 years. Mason explains the relationship between Jing (Yin and Yang Jing), foundational energy, the kidneys, and how they are all inextricably woven into our potential for sexual desire and vigour. He also lays down an integrated guide to the Daoist tonic herbs, discussing how specific blends work within the organs to cultivate sexual essence, lasting potential and can work as a support system right through to our elderly years.

Ultimately this is a holistic discussion around how we can use the teachings of Daoism to embody the most sexually robust, unique, love-filled expressions of ourselves! There is also a compact resource guide below with links to everything mentioned (and more) in the webinar, be sure to check it out. 

Mason discusses:

-Yang Jing herbs

-The quality of lib*do.

-Foundational energy.

-Protecting our essence.

-Spontaneous joy and sex.

-The Daoist tonic herbs and lib*do

-The cultivation of Jing, Qi and Shen.

-Yin Jing- cultivating the waters of life.

-Good sleep practices for sexual vigour.

-How adaptogens help to restore lib*do.

-Jing foundational essence and lib*do.

Bonds, boundaries, spleen energy and protecting Jing.

Today's guest Dr. Daniel Keown is an author (The Uncharted Body and The Spark In The Machine), licensed acupuncturist, and a registered medical doctor (trained and specialising in emergency medicine). In this fascinating conversation, Tahnee and Daniel discuss the problem with western medicine (and its lack of predictive power), the subtlety of acupuncture, Qi in the body, The TCM Channel system (Jing Luo), Fascia, understanding how the body works, and the all-pervading spark that is electricity.

Daniel's brilliant mind and extensive education allows him to illuminate the distinctions and integral components of traditional Chinese medicine and western allopathic medicine with a simplicity that seems effortless. This conversation is a beautifully comprehensive scope into the organising life force of the body (Qi) and the Jing Luo channel system that allows us to reimagine the body as a landscape with folds, creases, hollows, and structures, all connected by a system of energetic intelligence. 

Tahnee and Dan discuss:

-Qi is Spirit.

-The Triple Burner.

-Movement and electricity.

-Pregnancy and Jing essence.

-How Qi operates in the organs.

-The TCM channel system (Jing Luo).

-Hypertension and low blood volume.

-The Lymphatic system and Gaul bladder.

-How Qi, Jing and Shen operate in the body.

-The predictive power of traditional Chinese medicine.

-The subtleness of acupuncture in emergency medicine.

-Why movement is so important to the flow of Qi in the body.

-The damaging effects of Western pharmaceuticals on the body.

We've been receiving loads of emails from our SuperFeast community wanting to know what they can do to turn their immune system on and keep it fortified. Recently Mason caught up with our favourite functional Naturopath, Dan Sipple, to discuss go-to herbs, minerals, foods, and lifestyle practices to increase the body's immunological capacity. Embodying health sovereignty in a time of COVID has become quite a contentious topic; Who would have thought that trusting the body's immune system could become so politicised? Regardless of how you sit with the whole vaccinated/unvaccinated approach to the virus, bolstering the immune system is something (hopefully) most of us can agree is essential. People are now thinking about their immune system in ways they never have before, and we are here to offer guidance in any way we can. 

Imagine a society where mainstream consensus was to value and trust the body's natural immune system over pharmaceutical drugs. Imagine a world where superior herbs and medicinal mushrooms were mandated, subsidised, and heavily endorsed to keep us all thriving and truly living our best lives. To quote John Lenon 'imagine all the people living life in peace' (instead of fear); We are here for this vision. Tune in to hear Mason and Dan explore all the ways they would reinforce and support people's immune systems if they were to (hypothetically speaking) dictate all members of society take part in an Immune MAXzine. Where empowered sovereign health is the goal, and we live with reverence for Mother Nature's unassailable healing intelligence. This episode is packed full (and I mean full) of expert knowledge to have you feeling equipped and in an embodied state of health. We're advocating less divisiveness, more connection, and holistic health for everyone. Don't miss it.

Mason and Dan discuss:

-What is immunity? 

-Microbiome analyses.

-The skins microbiome.

-Strengthening the Wei Qi shield.

-Colostrum for the immune system.

-Herbs for long-term immune regulation.

-Dietary applications for the immune system.

-Medicinal mushrooms for the immune system.

-Arming the immune system in acute situations.

-Astragalus for lung, spleen, and surface immunity.

-The effects of stress and sleep on the immune system.

-How the immune system is influenced by the microbiome.

-What causes the immune system to become dysregulated?

-Lifestyle practices to increase your immunological capacity.

The words Di Dao (Di Tao) is a concept that most of our SuperFeast community would be familiar with, as it's the way we source our herbs. Di Dao herbs are of the highest quality and grown with integrity to ensure optimal, powerful healing properties. For a herb to be classified Di Dao, it must have been grown in its natural habitat; Which means the right region, soil, and microclimate for that specific species. The beauty of Di Dao herbs is they perform optimally, much like the human body when it is holistically cared for and nourished the way it needs to be. In this episode, Mason chats with Jansen Andre on The Awoken Athlete podcast about SuperFeast's commitment to Di Dao sourcing, herbs for optimal performance, and a holistic perspective of the nuances that affect performance within the body at all levels. Mason details the integrity behind Di Dao sourcing and how it ensures the livelihood of micro-farming stays alive; Continuing the wisdom and teachings of Di Dao within communities. Whether you're an athlete or not, we're all being physically, emotionally, and mentally pushed with our hectic, under-nourished lifestyles. This episode addresses the best herbs for lifestyle support and performance on all levels. 

Mason and Jansen discuss:

-Qi and performance.

-Cordyceps and performance.

-Adaptogens and performance.

-Jing, Qi, Shen; How they work.

-Comparing Di Dao and organic.

-Preventing injury and exhaustion.

-Jing; nourishing a solid foundation.

-How to take SuperFeast tonic herbs.

-Di Dao; growing, sourcing, and integrity.

-Disease, healing, and building the body back up.

-The colonisation and institutionalisation around healing ourselves.

-Performance in business and the freedoms of staying investor-free.

Today on the podcast, we're bringing ancient teachings to life as we journey through the Daoist delineation of the human psyche by way of storytelling. In this transformative conversation, Mason and Yin yoga, meditation, and medical Qigong practitioner Stephanie Nosco discuss the Wu Shen, also known as The Five Spirits; A system of spiritual descent, allowing us to live out our Dao through bringing the light of Heaven down to Earth, and alchemising pain into growth. Stephanie's transfer of knowledge and her ability to bring this elusive spiritual system to life through story and metaphor is brilliant. This intrinsic part of the Daoist teachings can't be measured or quantified but is the consciousness behind everything. Descending from the Heavens with Shen and moving through Hun, Yi, Po, and Zhi, Stephanie takes us on a journey, pulling out the light and different expressions of each spirit along the way. In a realm of work she's so passionate about Stephanie expresses that compassion for ourselves is essential on this path of healing. For true transformation, wisdom, and inspiration will arise from our psyche, only when we are willing to go into the murky depths to do the work, and begin to consciously live out our Dao. Tune in for wisdom.

 

Mason and Stephanie discuss:

-The Five Spirits.

-The spirit of the organs.

-Mingmen and our destiny.

-The wisdom in storytelling.

-Bringing Shen into the body.

-Practices to nourish the Hun.

-Hun disturbance and depression.

-Practices to help the Yi spirit.

-Po disturbance and breathwork.

-Medical Qigong to nourish the five spirits.

-Yin yoga as an avenue to explore the spirit dimension.

Je vais aborder dans cet épisode le thème du pouvoir guérisseur de l'Amour. Ou comment libérer le pouvoir du coeur et transformer votre vie.

En Médecine Chinoise, l'amour est l'énergie du Coeur. Et la partie subtile de l'énergie du Coeur est le Shen : l'esprit, la conscience, le sens du pouvoir, du discernement.  

Le Shen, c’est qui nous sommes véritablement, c’est tout ce qui est de l’ordre de l’intuition, tout ce qui est de l’Amour. Et ce Shen doit obligatoirement s’épanouir grâce au Cœur dans tout notre être. Et ça, c’est vraiment atteindre l’équilibre avec soi-même.

Aujourd'hui, vous pouvez franchir un grand pas dans vos retrouvailles avec l'amour, en guérissant votre relation avec vous-même. Vous aimez vous-même est la clé pour pouvoir aimer autrui.

L'amour commence par soi. Lorsque votre relation avec vous-même est fondée sur l'amour et le respect, toutes vos relations changeront, Y compris celle que vous entretenez avec ceux que vous aimez.
