The Anything Goes Podcast

Dr Dennis Jensen - On An alternative to Lockdowns

It's a true honour to bring you Dr Dennis Jensen, or as we warmly refer to him, and have for 11 years as DJ. He's a brilliant scientific mind, has worked for the CSIRO, and an ex-member of Federal Parliament who served the Lower house for 11 years as a brilliant politician, and he is also the man who just so happens to be Anna's old boss in that Parliament.

 

In all of this legislative chaos that we have seen unfold in Victoria, the question that has rung out over & over again is 'but what's the alternative to the Lockdown?' to which Dennis says is no lockdown. He is a man with some backing to make such bold claims though, with a Bachelor of Applied Science, Masters of Science (Physics) and a PhD in Materials Science.

 

In this episode, we cover a lot, but specifically why, by his own Scientific mind that continuously pours over all the data & literature at hand, he believes the Lockdown should end & what the Government should have always done is protect our society's most vulnerable & let business & society get back to functioning.

 

He would still be IN Politics if not for inner-party corruption of branch stacking, so we dive into that right at the end (if you want to stick around).

Brittany Eastman on the basics of Human Design & understanding your design to harness your power.

Brittany (Britt) is a woman who is currently taking the Human Design world by storm not just because of who she is, but how she is showing up in the space. I know right now Human Design is one of the hottest topics on IG & on many of our lips, so I knew when I wanted to bring this chat to you, the listener, I needed the best in the area, and to me, that's Britt & her team of HD readers.

 

She is a self-professed rule-breaking rebellion seeking woman who, after making a career going rogue & breaking rules in her own life, she is now guiding others to embrace their chaos, lean into their desires & burn their own rule books for their lives as well.

 

I had my own HD reading done by Britt & it was truly one of the most eye-opening & liberating 'things' I have ever gifted myself - and something I plan on continuing to learn about as the months & years go by.

 

 

Show Notes:
What is Human Design (HD).

Inauthentic vs Authentic celebration.

Alignment is the precursor to success.

Burn the rulebook and rewrite your own.

The 4 energy types of HD.

Energy types of historic people.

The 3 main centers of HD.

There is no such thing as bad food, only bad habits.

I (Anna) dive deeper into the ethos of 'eating like you love yourself' more in this episode with the ideology that I live & breathe by, of there is no such thing as bad food, only bad habits.

 

17kg heavier and feeling terrible in all ways (sluggish, uncomfortable in my clothes, self-loathing), it wasn't depriving myself of all foods that began my healing process to total well-being, it was changing my habits. 

I eat ALL foods today, and want you to feel like you can too, without eating with guilt, shame & fear.

 

In this episode, I speak to the power of knowing you can eat the things that bring you enjoyment (like chocolate, hot chips, pasta or ice cream) & making sure you eat it with gratitude, love & joy.

 

I also touch on the body positivity movement - & my take on it.

 

Tune in to hear my words on all of the above, & if you know a woman who needs to hear these words, I'd be honoured if you shared it with her.
