Yohan Riba Martinez wasn't always leading conciousness research. He was a filmaker for over 15 years before his girlfriend Dasha suddenly passed away in his arms. He hear her las breath and he saw the light vanish from her eyes.

That single moment drastically changed his perception of life and reality altogether, propelling him on a lifelong quest to uncover what lies beyond the veil of waking reality.

Together, Yohan and Dasha shared a fascination for luciddreaming and astral projection. What began as a playful curiosity now became a doorway into the deepest layers of the human mind. After her passing, Yohan left the film industry and became a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and founded EVA Rising, a tech company focused on inducing lucid dreaming through wearable innovation. His research now bridges the worlds of neuroscience, imagination, dreams, and altered states of consciousness, exploring the mysterious thread that connects our waking imagination to lucid dreams, astral planes, and ultimately, self-realization. Today, Yohan’s work is driven by one mission: to help others awaken to the infinite power of their minds.

This powerful conversation educates and inspires. Thepossibilities in our minds are endless.

This conversation with Holistic and Functional Registered Dietitian Traci Komorek will inform, inspire, and entertain as we discuss nutritional health. She is passionate about helping her patients find their best health.

⁠About Traci⁠
I started my career at Concord Hospital. I soon discovered my passion was in preventative health. I saw too many times the negative consequences of the restrictive food/shake industry and wanted to create a space where I had time with my patients, to listen and use food as medicine. With our busy schedules and specialized healthcare model, I felt a need to create a practice that looks at health and wellness more holistically. Especially in the areas of GI health, patients were continually coming to me with debilitating symptoms they had been dealing with for years, with no answers. I have specialized in gut health to give my patients the answers with functional testing and results they are looking for. I created Fresh Roots also to have the balance to raise my family and have the career I wanted. I love to shop at farmers' markets and local farms. You will see me out swimming a lake, biking the road, hiking a mountain, or skiing the local Nordic trails all season long with my family."

You can find Traci on her ⁠website⁠, on ⁠Facebook⁠, and on ⁠Instagram⁠.

If your nutritional health is a challenge, reach out to a professional. Our mind and body are connected, and physical health is directly related to our overall well-being and mental health.

“Joy is a Practice.”

This was such a great conversation with Melissa Bloom.

Her curiosity and intention to find joy is inspiring. Her belief in humanity more than despair…leaves room for hope and Joy.

Becoming aware is the first step! Then, realize that you get to decide and change your perception in order to see your world in a new way.

I appreciate that Melissa encourages us to make these changes incrementally, knowing that a “Practice” is something that does not happen overnight.

You can find out more about ⁠Melissa⁠ and ⁠Joy School⁠ on her ⁠Website.⁠

Get her book ⁠here⁠ and listen to her ⁠podcast⁠, which is full of ways to find and practice joy!!!!

May you find Joy in your life today and every day.
