Spirit Gym with Paul Chek

Unlike insects and amphibians, humans don’t experience what science defines as a physical metamorphosis. Yet, Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart of BIOptimizers are pushing the boundaries of science, biology, Shamanism and cutting edge neurofeedback technology with their Metamorphosis group to do just that. 
Explore real human metamorphosis at the ground level with Wade Lightheart and Matt Gallant this week on Spirit Gym.
Learn more about the work Wade and Matt do at BiOptimizers via social media on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.

It shouldn’t be an original idea that eating is a spiritual act or that where our food comes from makes all the difference in our health because it does. Unfortunately, too few people believe food to be medicine for our bodies and souls although it is...
You won’t look at food the same way ever again after listening to Paul’s conversation with sacred hunter Mansal Denton, the mastermind behind wild, animal-based food producer Real Provisions, this week on Spirit Gym.
Check out Mansal on his Real Provisions website and at his Sacred Hunting website. Find him on social media via Instagram here and here. Read his essays on Substack.
For Spirit Gym listeners: Spend more than $100 on Mansal’s Real Provisions products and receive a free bag of Wild Axis Deer Venison Chips and free shipping at this link when you use the promo code CHEK at checkout.

Just because a very chaotic 2025 is coming to an end and a new year is about to begin doesn’t mean you can ignore the personal challenges you’ve managed to sweep under the rug…
2026 is the year you’ll face the mirror based on the 10th card of the Tarot, The Wheel of Fortune (the divine mirror of self-reflection), and all of those obstacles will re-appear. What you choose to do — or don’t do — to resolve these challenges may determine the fragile difference between taking control of your life or being controlled by others.
Paul shares his 2026 forecast including a roadmap for your spiritual survival this week on Spirit Gym.
For Spirit Gym listeners: To get the most out of Paul’s 2026 solocast, we encourage you to watch it on his YouTube channel. Also, you can access a PDF of his extensive resources for this episode here.
