On today’s episode we welcome Josh Trent of the Wellness Force Podcast. This is an extra special podcast that is sure to get you thinking and moving! Josh is here to talk to us all about wellness. We know we often focus on the physical aspects here at Paleo Magazine, but we also care about the mental and emotional aspects of health, and Josh talks about all of these, with the added dimension of the spirit. We chat to Josh about his childhood, the difficulties he experienced, and how all this led to him becoming a personal trainer. From there we look into the changes Josh made to become a coach and podcast host and what precipitated this switch. Josh is not afraid to open up and share his personal difficulties, which is what makes this conversation so powerful. Then we get down to the real juice of the show as Josh recounts his recent experiences on an ayahuasca retreat and how this literally changed his life. Now, Josh is not trying to tell you to do the same thing he has done, but he has seen the benefits and generously wants to share his story. Spirit quests and psychedelics are not for everyone, and Josh stresses that you need to be ready for the journey. There is a lot to take in in this episode, so strap in and let’s go!
