Wholistic Living with Elena Bensonoff

Welcome to the Wholistic Living podcast. I’m your host Elena Bensonoff. Today, we're going to talk about non-local consciousness, which is the idea that consciousness is not limited to individual brains or bodies but is instead a field of energy that is interconnected and shared by all beings. If you’re listening to this, I bet you’re familiar with the concept of the “collective consciousness.” Nonlocality is a key feature of the collective consciousness and now there is new scientific evidence that can support its existence!

Hello and welcome to the Wholistic Living Podcast. My name is Elena Bensonoff. I’m excited to have you with me today as we deep dive into important topics that will illuminate and enhance your wellness journey. I will guide you to better understand and support your health on all levels. Today we continue the Be the Hero of Your Health series by taking a close look at some of the problems with protein shakes. You may be shocked to find out this wellness-industry favorite contains dangerous heavy metals. We are going to explore the specific dangers of 4 of the heavy metals found in protein powder as well as some other protein powder pitfalls. Then we’ll cover some high-protein whole foods you can turn to instead as well as the benefits of making the switch! Have you ever been looking to improve your health, shed a few pounds, and get in better shape? Maybe you, like so many other people, have walked into a health food store looking for guidance. The shelves are lined with an overwhelming amount of supplements, performance-enhancing formulas, pre-workout mixes, and so many protein powders! The next thing you know, a pushy salesperson approaches you and convinces you to buy an expensive tub of protein powder. They promise this will help you build muscles and lose fat. It sounds too good to be true, but you go for it because you are hungry for a change. Is the protein powder promise just false hope? Protein shakes are highly marketed in the wellness, weightloss, and bodybuilding industries. It's an estimated $4.7 billion industry as of 2020 in the US. Protein powders are processed concentrated proteins made with milk (whey or casein), eggs, or plants (often soy). They are usually mixed with fillers, sweeteners, thickeners, and added vitamins. A typical protein powder will give you 10 - 30 grams of protein per serving. Your body needs protein for muscle maintenance, bone health, growing hair and nails, and even hormone regulation. But here’s the major protein shake pitfall… Because protein powders are sold as a supplement, the FDA is hands off when it comes to regulating the quality of ingredients and leaves it up to the manufacturer to label. This results in the powders containing shocking residues like traces of heavy metals. It's so important to be an informed consumer! Let’s learn more about the heavy metals found in protein powders. Be the hero of your own health and stop putting your wellbeing in other’s hands. I hope this information has opened your eyes in a new way today. I share this research not to frighten you but to inspire you to look deeper into the choices you make. My desire is to empower you with information and new ideas that will fuel your body, mind, and soul and bring them to life!

Hi there and welcome to the Wholistic Living podcast. I’m Elena Bensonoff and I’m excited to share with you another episode in the Be the Hero of your Health series.

Let’s take a closer look at the spooky ingredients lurking in the famous Pumpkin Spice Latte, affectionately known as the PSL. A grande PSL (16 oz) contains 390 calories. “Pumpkin Spice Sauce” is the signature ingredient setting it apart from a regular latte.

Intro Hello and welcome to the Wholistic Living Podcast. My name is Elena Bensonoff. This is the first episode of our new series: Be The Hero Of Your Health. The purpose of this series is to help empower you to take charge of your health, especially when it comes to the foods you nourish your body with. I want to raise awareness of the negative effects of some popular foods and beverages that may be part of your diet. It’s so important to know how certain ingredients could be impacting your health and wellness. This series is curated to help you make informed decisions, eliminate confusion, and empower you to make healthy choices for life! First up, we will explore some concerns about Dunkin’ Donuts. Then, we’ll dive into the dangers of added sugars including chronic conditions and sugar addiction. Finally, I’ll share 5 benefits of having healthy breakfast and some meal ideas that will give you an advantage in the morning rather than starting your day fighting a digestive battle against a current of unhealthy ingredients. Overview of The Problem If coffee and a donut from Dunkin' are part of your morning routine, you might be sacrificing your health for convenience. This popular donut chain uses highly processed and inflammatory ingredients in most of its drinks and baked goods. Historically, donuts can be made with 7 simple ingredients: Yeast, milk, flour, butter, sugar, salt, and eggs. But did you know that donuts in big chain bakeries are loaded with added chemicals and preservatives? Dunkin’ Donuts and most big-chain donuts are full of nutrient-poor, inflammatory ingredients including high fructose corn syrup, palm oil, soybean oil, artificial flavors, and artificial coloring. Consuming these ingredients puts you at a higher risk for disease and takes a massive toll on your health. You may already be aware of the problems that consuming gluten can cause - but there are even more problematic ingredients in a Dunkin’ donut. There are 30+ ingredients even in the simple glazed donut from Dunkin’! The Apple Crumb Donut has 66! Their Glazed Jelly Stick packs 540 calories, 30g of fat, 37g sugar, and 430mg sodium. (1) So if you think, “it’s just one donut” - you may think differently by the end of this episode. Talking Points Here are just a few examples of how that box of donuts in the break-room does more harm than good. • Gluten combined with processed sugar leaves you feeling sluggish and foggy. • The more processed foods you eat the more you crave! • The combo of high fat/ high carbohydrate content in foods like donuts causes a drug-like reaction in the brain, making you want more (2) • Over time, excess sugar consumption takes a toll on your body. You can build up a tolerance to sugar, so you need more of it to feel the same effect in your brain’s reward center. As your sugar intake increases, so does your risk for related health issues. • Studies have shown that a diet high in added sugar is linked to (3): o Inflammation o Liver disease o Obesity (increasing the risk of diabetes, sleep apnea, heart disease, and cancer) o Insulin resistance (causing issues regulating blood sugar, diabetes, and high blood pressure) o Leaky gut syndrome (allowing toxins the pass through the intestinal wall causing inflammation and autoimmune symptoms) o Candida overgrowth (leading to brain fog, depression, muscle aches, numbness, skin issues, yeast infections, digestive upset, and hormonal imbalances) • Eating foods that are poor in healthy fats, fiber, and protein causes your gut health and energy levels to suffer. • When you eat or drink things that throw off the balance of your microbiome (often gluten, dairy, and processed sugar are on this list!) – the inflammatory effects result in imbalances within your body and brain. Your body deserves better! It's time to ditch the donut habit and nourish your body. Solution You can promote healing from the inside out with daily choices like the foods you eat. Show yourself some love b

Hi there, welcome to today’s podcast. My name is Elena Bensonoff, and I will be your host and guide as we dive deep into a brand new 5-part series on the podcast. This is the first episode in my Senses Series where we will explore ways you can get more grounded and in tune with your body through your physical senses. It is my passion to help you support your health in body, spirit, and mind and I can tell you that honing in on your senses is a must for finding that balance. Today we will start off the series by discussing 5 ways you can get grounded into awareness of the senses to support your physical health. Your five senses often operate on a subconscious level in your daily life. You busily go about your work and don’t often stop to appreciate the gifts they bring. Overstimulating noise, screens, and toxins infiltrate our world and before you know it, you feel burnt out and stressed. It is important to take time every day to pause and reconnect to each of your senses. I hope you found this information valuable today, and feel empowered to take action to improve your health and wellbeing. I am excited to offer a new 6 week course called “Deepen and Anchor Your Awareness” https://www.wholistic.com/daya, where I will help you connect to your senses and reestablish your foundation for a healthy and happy life. You can find out more about this course and my work on my website www.wholistic.com. Until next time - blessings. Elena Bensonoff DAYA- 6 -week online course link https://www.wholistic.com/daya

I hope you were inspired to embrace the divine masculine in yourself. Please take a moment and review this podcast.
