I have been having trouble breathing through my nose for years now. I am at a total loss for what to do. It’s greatly limiting my quality of life. I’ve been to different ENT doctors and they all do the same. They say I have allergy and give me allergy spray but the spray doesn’t help me. They see my nose is swollen inside. If any of you has any idea what I can do please tell me!!

@Michael569 hey man, it’s been a while and still not seeing any improvement with my breathing. I’m scared I will have this for the rest of my life.. i tried an air purifier from dyson, it said my air quality is fine. And I didn’t notice any improvement after using it. any idea what I could do at this point?

@captainamerica I have tried all of this and it didn’t help, what is your contact in India?

yo wasp y'all, I was thinking the most important life skill that we need to self actualize is strong willpower. Cause no matter what we wanna do whether that's meditation, eating healthy, strong workout routine or hustling on our life purpose, we need willpower and discipline to commit to all of the above. Now Leo already has some content about discipline and willpower, however I feel since this is such an important topic it would be dope if we could get an in detail video around this topic. Maybe he could go into how to stay consistent with positive habits, how to break bad habits and addictions, what to do when you fall off track and whether it's possible to be 100% consistent with our longterm goals. Anyways let me know if you feel like Leo should make a video about this topic. Just a quick reply, lets make it happen!

@Michael569 thank you soooo much for you extensive reply! I will try your recommendation on diet and report back to you. I’ll also try various supplements and see if that helps. And I will save up for a good air purifier could you recommend me the herb detox and immunity tinctures you used? also I’ll make sure to get my flat tested for mold! Thanks for the tip my sleep is okay but of course I imagine it would be more restorative if my breathing improves. Much obliged, oliver

@Flowerfaeiry could you explain more how grains, oils or overcooking could be a problem? Thanks

@captainamerica thanks I already do this and it has helped me a little but my breathing is definitely still blocked

@Michael569 i was thinking the same thing but my allergy test said I’m not allergic to mold. I do notice though the more I am indoors the worse it gets. If it is a mold problem, how would I fix this?

@Chris_at_the_ridge tried but it doesn’t help me, Cause the issue is not allergy but my nose is swollen somehow

@Michael569 I did the allergy test again now. I’m allergic to pollen and cats but my doc said it’s not the cause since there is allergy season now and I don’t have a cat. he suspects it’s because of the air pollution in my city but I live close to the mountain and there isn’t much pollution there, so it doesn’t make sense to me.. no idea what to do at this point

I have IBS-D, lactose intolerance, histamine intolerance and mild fructose intolerance. Seeing as gluten is not recommended for ibs and there are so many foods that contain fodmaps but low histamine and vice versa i am at a loss for what to eat. It’s hard to find recipes with all these dietary restrictions. Can someone please help me out here?

Yes I did stool test everything fine, and yes it was diagnosed after doing the food intolerance tests.

Hey guys, I have had chronic muscle pain in my back, neck and shoulders for at least two years now and it is really limiting myself. I want to get rid of this problem for good and I just don't know what to do. I have been to multiple doctors and neurologists and they didn't know what to do. I already do yoga and get massages regularly but even though that helps relax the muscles for a short time, they hurt again after about an hour. Any advice is strongly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this

@xxxx No problem, just do whatever works for you If you have any questions or concerns about how to OMAD I am glad to help you out!

Dude perfection is an illusion. If you keep trying to be perfect you are always going to mess up and blame yourself for it and keep repeating that cycle. Ask yourself why you keep eating the Nutella. There's probably an underlying issue. Work on that. The Nutella is not the issue for your cravings. Trust me, I know what you feel like. I have been through it too many times and I know that you want to be perfect and you don't want to allow yourself any junk food. It's okay to have chocolate from time to time. If you fix your mind set then you won't crave for it as often. Work on fixing your attitude towards food, that's the key. This isn't a quick fix, it takes time and a willingness to change your perspective. You need to be open minded and trust that there is some truth to what I am saying. Wish you all the best and have a merry Christmas!

Hey I have done OMAD in the past for about a year and I didn't have any negative affects from it. I didn't do it consistently because sometimes my family or friends wanted to eat with me or I was just really hungry. But overall I stuck to the OMAD diet for quite a long time. I was following the amen ra regimen, not sure if you have heard about it, but it's worth to check out. Anyways I didn't loose much weight because of the diet because I think my body just adapted to needing less food. For feeling hungry, drinking black coffee or sparkling water helps and since they don't contain calories it won't break your fasting. Just try it for yourself, there is really nothing to worry about. If you feel it is serving you in your life then go for it! For me personally I stopped doing this diet because I wanted to enjoy eating with other people and because I only ate one meal a day and my diet was very restricted, I was missing out on socializing. Also I discovered I have irritable bowel syndrome and in my case it is better for me to eat multiple meals a day. So what I want to tell you is, just make sure it is the right thing for you! No worries, you can do it!

Yesterday I had a strange experience I wanted to share with you all. Please let me know what you think and if you had similar experiences before! So I was meditating for an hour when I got sleepy and decided to take a rest afterwards. I must have fallen asleep but it felt like I was awake and my body was totally relaxed. I’m not sure I was dreaming or not I think maybe in between dreaming. What happened was it felt like my body sensations were completely gone and then my mind just suddenly said: you don’t even exist!! And suddenly I felt very strange and fearful and like some sort of force was pulling my body into a sitting position. I was thinking to myself is this before enlightenment, or an out of body experience? I had a similar experience in a dream before with the I don’t exist feeling and also other dreams where I was leaving my physical body. But this one combined both elements. So as I was laying there I opened my eyes just a little bit and I could see a pure white ceiling and then my mind just kept repeating: you don’t even exit! You don’t even exist! And every time it did my body felt very strange, almost as though I was submerged in water and I even heard water, maybe because it was raining outside. The sound I heard was more like a waterfall though. And as I had these sensations, I repeatedly got pulled out of my physical body higher up to the ceiling but I always stopped there. I was a bit afraid but whenever I surrendered my fear I felt like I would go higher up. It felt like someone was reaching my arms and pulling me up there. What is really freaky is that you don’t just feel strange but your body is making strange sounds and tensing and moving on it’s own and you have no clue what is going on.

@The Don thank you, I found that very insightful and motivating!

I took Leo's advice on facing emptiness head on to get rid of addictions. However I find the longer I do nothing the more anxious and depressed I start to feel. I start to feel like I am going insane and feel strong negative emotions. But I only feel this way either when my cravings are really strong or after giving in to my cravings and meditating afterwards. Any guidance is appreciated. I truly want to be free of all my addictions..

thanks guy, just broke up with her. gonna take some time now to take care of myself!

Hey guys, so I've been in a relationship with a girl for half a year now. Unfortunately we have a lot of fights and arguments. Recently we are just fighting constantly. We broke up once because of this but got back together. I am into self development, she says she is too but I don't think she is. She isn't open to learning new things as much as I am. I am not saying she doesn't like self development, just that she doesn't really care to improve herself because in her eyes there is nothing to improve for her. I don't agree because I have a growth mindset and am always trying to improve myself. She is constantly upset about something I do and usually its the smallest things. I think she expects me to be perfect.. I don't know what I should do, I am thinking of breaking up with her again. Please tell me what you think..

Is there a difference between being and meditation? How do you practice both if so?

hey, was wondering if any of you have hyperhydrosis and have found a way to treat it affectively? Thx
