Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar is a classically trained Ayurvedic physician known for integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom into contemporary wellness. Dr. Sheila Patel is a board-certified family physician who has served in medical leadership roles within the Chopra Organization. Together, they've written Awakened Sleep, a practical guide for accessing transcendental states during the hours you're already spending asleep.

I felt called to have them on the show because for them sleep isn't just a biological necessity. It's a doorway to transcendental consciousness, a nightly rehearsal for what mystics call "the fourth state" beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep.

In this conversation, we explore that during deep sleep, you naturally drift into states that border on or directly access this transcendental realm. Your senses withdraw automatically. Your thinking mind goes offline. The doorway opens every single night. You're already entering higher states of consciousness. The problem is you're doing it unconsciously.

Dr. Douglas Tataryn is a clinical psychologist with decades of experience who developed the Bio-Emotive Framework. His groundbreaking research revealed exactly where unprocessed emotions hide in your body and created a systematic method to release them. His work bridges the gap between emotional healing and spiritual awakening, helping people understand why they do what they do and how to finally release the patterns holding them back.

I wish I had discovered Dr.Tataryn's work 20 years earlier. I had chronic tension in my shoulders and jaw. I tried massage, yoga, stretching, everything. Nothing worked long-term because I was treating symptoms, not the cause.

This conversation showed me that my body wasn't broken, it was holding specific emotions I'd never fully processed. And more importantly, he gave me the exact roadmap to finally release them.

Brandon Epstein is the author of The Success Code and an elite Mental Performance Coach who guides high performers, world-ranked athletes, and entrepreneurs in rewiring their minds for deeper peace, real power, and steady presence through subconscious belief work.

Me and Brandon have known each other for over a decade and after I recent saw him on Rogan, I had to have him on the show.

In this conversation, he lays out his entire methodology in a clear, accessible way. Not surface-level ideas about positive thinking but the actual step-by-step process he uses. He walks through the exact questions that reveal hidden beliefs, the somatic practices that move decades of stored energy in a single session, and why the Law of Reversibility works when positive affirmations fall flat. These are the practices that create lasting transformation.
