Episode 25: Mike Salemi—Healing with Kambo, 36-Day Carnivore Diet & Kettlebell Lifestyle

 

On the latest episode of the podcast I talk with kettlebell master and holistic health practitioner Mike Salemi. We crossed paths through the work of Paul Chek, both having worked with him for different reasons. Years ago Mike decided to leave his family's business and dive into his true passion of sport and performance. He has a diverse background in strength and conditioning and has competed over the course of 15+ years at an elite level in Powerlifting and Kettlebell Sport. Besides sharing this journey, we speak about his work with natural medicines and specially his experience with Kambo, having recently become a ceremony practitioner, his recent journey through 36 days of the carnivore diet and his new Kettlebell program, Kettlebell Lifestyle which is releasing in the coming weeks online.

So much of my spiritual growth has come through moving meditation.
