Hey, guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition. And I am delighted to welcome Ashoka Houlahan to the podcast. Ashoka, how are you, mate?

Ashoka

(01:22)

Well, thanks, Stuart. Thanks for having me on the program.

Stu

(01:24)

No, thank you so much for sharing some of your time, and we've got some very interesting questions that I want to put to you today because I know that we've got many people out there that have lots of different thoughts and perspectives on some of the things that we're going to speak to you about a little bit later on. So before we dive into those, and for all of those that may not be familiar with you or your work or your company, et cetera, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Ashoka

(01:52)

Yeah, okay, thank you. Okay, so I'll try and keep this super brief but relevant for the future conversation. So I guess my original background was as a chemical engineer. And so as part of a chemical engineer, when I came out of school, I went to university, studied physics, chemistry, maths. And I had a trainee shift, which meant I worked as a chemical engineer by day and studied at night and did a hard slog for many, many years, but had a science and analytical background. That went well for a number of years, I was full of ambition and drive. I would best describe myself back then as I was young, egotistical, intellectual, and a little bit arrogant, so as I reflect back on myself. And that got me through life to a certain point, but due to my heavy workload and uni load, I quickly drove myself into the ground, found myself with a near midlife crisis around the age of 22.

Sandie

(01:16)

Good. How are you doing?

Stu

(01:17)

Very well. Very well. Thank you so much for sharing some of your time. Very, very intrigued to dig into your knowledge, and listen to some of the stories and information that you've gleaned over the years. But first up, for a lot of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Sandie

(01:37)

Yeah. So, I am an integrative healing practitioner. I am the founder of the Integrative Healing Academy. I'm the author of Heal Yourself. And my journey through natural healing has been going on for quite a while. It's been really spurred along through my own health issues. That's really what pushed me onto this path.

(01:58)

I ended up having my first migraine when I was seven, and they just kept getting worse over the years. As a teen, I was diagnosed with bipolar depression, and from there, I really, even at that age, wanted to cure migraine. So, my goal was actually to become a doctor, and I was put on a lot of medications. And over the years, I realized that becoming a doctor wasn't for me because I couldn't get off of these medications.

(02:29)

I wasn't told about the side effects. I wasn't told about the fact that my body would become very dependent on them. And I ended up changing my career path. After I finished my degree in biomedicine, I went and became a massage therapist. And it was in my graduating year that I ended up developing food poisoning. And from there, my health just kept spiraling.

(02:57)

Within a year, I was diagnosed with lupus. And a year after that, I ended up having to quit work and move home with my parents. And I ended up going through a really dark, dark year in 2012 because I really felt like I had no hope. I knew I wanted to heal naturally, but the things that I was trying wasn't working. I was mainly focused on diet, in particular, being raw vegan, and it just wasn't working for me.

(03:26)

So, it was actually through a podcast, and it's why I'm so passionate about doing podcasts, and reaching out to people because it was in a podcast that I actually had a really big mindset shift when I was listening to it. And I realized that I had to not focus on diet. I had to look at root causes of illnesses, and root causes of my symptoms, and really take my science background and figure out, okay, why am I having these migraines?

This week I'm excited to welcome Dr Frank Shallenberger to the podcast. He is a six time grandfather and four time father. He is one of the originals.

This is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome back Dr. Frank Shallenberger to the podcast. Dr. Shallenberger. How are you?

Frank

(01:25)

I'm great, Stuart. Good to be with you.

Stu

(01:27)

Yeah. Look. Much appreciated for you sharing some of your time. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Frank

(01:39)

Well, okay. We'll just keep that a little bit. But basically, I graduated from medical school in 1973, so I'm an old timer. I've been around a long time. Working on 50 years coming up here. Early, I got into medicine because I wanted to help sick people. That's why I got into medicine. Didn't take me long to figure out that that shouldn't really be our primary goal. Our primary goal should be preventing people from getting sick, not waiting until they get sick. I think everybody understands that concept. But back then in the early days, I had to scratch my head and figure out, well, why do people get sick? I finally figured it out and I didn't figure it out all on my own. There's tons of science, but nobody actually put the science together to determine why it is that people get sick.

(02:35)

That's basically, I developed a system to measure what we're going to be talking about, and then I wrote the book to describe the various things I had learned. So, we can talk a little bit about those kinds of things. But that's sort of my background. I've published papers, I've written books, I've done lots of stuff. I'm president of things and all that. But the really important deal to understand is that a perfect day for me at the office is when every single person that comes in is a hundred percent healthy and sits down and I say, "Why are you here?" and they say, "I'm healthy. I want to stay that way."

(03:11)

That's a perfect day. That's what doctors ought to really be doing because 90% of the time, the illnesses that I'm seeing in my patients, I'm thinking to myself, that is completely preventable. You did not have to develop this cancer. You did not have to develop this diabetes or whatever it is I'm looking at. That was preventable. So, my mission has always been, well, not always, but for the last 40 years or so has been let's figure out how to do that.

  Stu (01:26):
  Oh, excellent. Look, I am so excited about grounding, and we were just saying off-air, you've made grounding cool, and I think there's a lot of things that we can take out of that, perhaps, that we might not already know, but I'm kind of interested to get you take on that. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

  Rob (01:51):
  Right. So I started The Grounded Athlete in summer of 2020, right when COVID was kind of just getting really started and all that. I wanted to do something really fulfilling with my life and what better way to do that than teach people about something that's made a big impact in my life? That's grounding. I first found out about grounding as an athlete, because as an athlete, you were always looking for ways to better yourself, and grounding was one of those things that I found that made a pretty significant impact in my life, and in my training, and in my health so I made it my mission to tell other people about this really, really cool phenomenon.
