Rick Strassman's "DMT: The Spirit Molecule" details a groundbreaking clinical study on the effects of N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a powerful psychedelic compound. The book explores the profound experiences reported by participants, including encounters with non-ordinary realities and entities. Strassman's research challenges conventional understandings of consciousness and the nature of reality, suggesting DMT may play a significant role in near-death experiences and spiritual awakening. The book has become a cornerstone text in psychedelic research and has influenced many discussions on consciousness and altered states. Its findings continue to inspire further investigation into the potential therapeutic and spiritual applications of DMT.
In this book, Patrick McKeown introduces the Oxygen Advantage, a revolutionary approach to breathing that can significantly improve health and fitness. The book explains the fundamental relationship between oxygen and the body and provides techniques such as the Body Oxygen Level Test (BOLT) to determine and improve oxygen efficiency. McKeown's methods include light breathing exercises and simulating high-altitude training, techniques used by elite athletes and military personnel to enhance endurance, weight loss, and cardiovascular health. The book addresses chronic overbreathing, a common but often overlooked issue that contributes to various health disorders, including anxiety, asthma, insomnia, and heart problems. By following McKeown's program, readers can achieve better sleep, increased energy, improved concentration, reduced breathlessness during exercise, and enhanced overall well-being.
In the past, I've discussed the link between respiration and body fat in articles such as "The 2 Best Ways To Burn Fat Fast (Without Destroying Your Hormones Or Metabolism)" and on the podcast "16 Reasons You’re Not Burning Fat (& How To Lose Weight The Right Way)."
But my friend and former podcast guest Adam Wenguer recently introduced me to a guy who has thoroughly studied the link between breath and fat loss, and he has some very interesting insights on the matter as well as some potent fat loss tips you may find quite handy. His name is David Morin.
David is a German-born American fitness trainer, model, corporate wellness speaker, and entrepreneur. An accredited strength and conditioning trainer and coach with 16 years of experience, David's clients include everyone from folks in the U.S. Special Forces to NBA stars like Allen Iverson. His skill set continues to evolve through various modalities rooted in movement, martial arts, Chi Kung, mediation, biofeedback, free-weight training, HIIT, and advanced biohacking techniques.
He has appeared on more than 30 fitness magazine covers, including Muscle & Fitness, FitnessRX, Men’s Health, and Ironman magazine. For over 10 years and in 15 countries, David has been featured over 100 times as an editorial contributor and instructional fitness model for print media. Not to mention, he has hosted a number of successful fitness product infomercials. David joined “A-list celebrity” Rebel Wilson for a six-page editorial inside Glamour Magazine recently and can be found in advertisements on the internet and in print and billboards around the world representing his supplement partner Dymatize. David can also be seen in the documentary The Perfect Physique as well as working on director Micheal Bay's film “Pain & Gain” with The Rock and Mark Wahlberg.
As a father of four who likes to stay active, David took matters into his own hands to create an effective, efficient at-home training regime called Lynx Fitness. As a corporate wellness speaker for clients such as Bank United and Post Holdings, David covers nutritional topics, practical guides to better health, DNA-test-specific nutrient selection, and behavioral pattern course correction towards higher productivity and health.
Finally, David created FLO2 essential oils for "sniffing" pre-workout, and I have to admit, since David sent me some after this podcast and I began to use them, they are now my preferred alternative to full-on "smelling salts" for hard workouts. I recommend you try them for yourself. You can click here to get FLO2, and use code BENFLO to save 25%.
