| 0:25.9 | Today I spoke with Ajay Tzashvi, and boy, what a great conversation if you're someone who is stressed, anxious, perhaps worried about your health or food. |
| 0:40.4 | He is a wonderful resource who's influencing health through this very specific meditation paired with breathwork technique known as |
| 0:49.3 | Sky Meditation. And what's really fascinating about this technique is there are a number of trials |

| 2:20.6 | Hello, everyone. Welcome back. Today I have a J with me and we are going to be talking all |
| 2:25.1 | about the first brain. Conversely, we usually talk on the show about the second brain, the gut, |
