Nathan Riley is a medical doctor trained in OBGYN and palliative care. He joins the podcast today to talk, generally, about the role of medicine in society, what it has been and what it could be, its beauty and limitations, and working inside the system vs. outside of the system.
I really dig Nathan because he thinks way outside of the box while not being so far out that your average person gets lost in the sauce. We discuss the work of a handful of Renaissance thinkers as we go back and forth on medicine, science, and the unseen – and how they can and do balance each other out.
He’s a grounding presence that brings a tangible optimism and hope to so many issues that seem quite the opposite at first glance. If, by the end of the show, you vibe with Nathan's approach, you can learn more about working with him at lukestorey.com/belovedholistics, where you can use the code Luke100 for $100 off his services.

THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:
MAGNESIUM BREAKTHROUGH. According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death. When most people think of stress, they think of their job, traffic, tense relationships, current events, things like that. But the root of so much of the stress we experience comes down to a deficiency in one overlooked nutrient — magnesium. So, if you're ready to help your body deal with stress, instead of putting a band-aid on it after the fact, you’re going to want some Magnesium Breakthrough.

CACAO BLISS. Back in the day, I used to have to take about 50 ingredients to make an elixir or a smoothie. I had to mix them together, make a big mess, and it took up a bunch of space in the cabinet. But Cacao Bliss has changed the game. Now I have amazing ceremony-grade organic ingredients like raw cacao, turmeric, black pepper, MCT powder, cinnamon, monk fruit, coconut nectar, lucuma, mesquite, and Himalayan Salt all in one. So this is the ultimate superfood elixir, but it really tastes like chocolate milk. It's just absolutely fantastic.

JOOVV. A new generation of Joovv devices are here and I am stoked. They’re sleeker, lighter, easier to set up, and allow you to stand 3x further away from the device while still getting the recommended dosage. There’s also a new ambient mode to help you wind down at the end of the day and a recovery mode that will help you rejuvenate after a tough workout. If you are ready to get a new Joovv device, you can get a discount for a limited time over at Joovv.com/luke.
