After an incident in kindergarten, Jim Kwik had countless learning difficulties that led him to being labeled “the boy with the broken brain”. This label left a long-lasting imprint on his self-worth, his identity, and beliefs in himself. Learning became his greatest mountain that he saw as an impossible climb.

Having made it into university after years of struggle, Jim found himself at the same place he’d always been - incapable of scholarly success. Ready to succumb to the doubts within himself, Jim planned to quit school.

It was in this time that Jim met someone who challenged the way he perceived his potential and changed his life forever. Firstly, he asked Jim to write down his aspirations on a piece of paper pulled from a journal that he had in his pocket. He then gave Jim the task to read one book per week about any great man or woman throughout history, plus personal development books - all while he was still completing his university. With the fear of failure taking over, Jim said, “I can’t do it”. This man immediately took the folded piece of paper from Jim’s hands and read his goals out loud.

“Something about hearing your dreams come from a stranger’s voice… it shook my heart, it shook my spirit, my soul, something fierce” - those goals became the motivation he needed to push himself and to finally believe in himself.

Today, Jim uses his experience of shattering those limiting beliefs to help others break through similar barriers and get their brains to reach their full potential.

What belief do you have about yourself that are holding you back? Are you ready to break through that belief and make the impossible, possible?

James and Dr. Axe discuss the answers to one of the modern day's biggest health ailments, a dysfunctional gut. The pair explore topics relating to leaky gut, irritable bowel syndrome & Crohn's disease and discuss how we can use natural remedies and nutrition to treat and fight against the root of these issues.

Along with nutritional treatments, Dr. Axe also touches on the act of grounding, microbiome uptake and the benefits of mindful eating. It’s a must watch to discover more about this foundational aspect of our health!

Marie Forleo, NY Times best-selling author, life coach, and host of Marie TV, guides us through getting rid of those beliefs that could be holding you back. It is our beliefs that drive our actions, and our actions drive our destiny, so our beliefs are actually of paramount importance.

Rich Roll’s story is an epic one! At the age of 40, Rich was out-of-shape and working himself to the ground. He decided to make a change and is now a world-renowned ultra-endurance athlete. And he’s done it all through the power of food and mindset and today we’re going to take a journey through his transformation.

Here at Food Matters, we understand the power of food to harm or heal. However, are you aware of the subtle yet profound ways in which our environment affects our health and vitality? Many of us don't realize how everyday products we use can harm our health. 

No matter how well you eat, if you continue to use these everyday toxins, you may be unknowingly harming your health. Darin Olien takes us deeper into how these are disrupting our health and environment.
