Properly used essential oils can powerfully rebalance your body and mind. Just getting a basic understanding is half the battle. Which oils are best, how much should you use, how often, etc. So we distilled everything you should know about essential oils into this one episode. Meet our guest Jodi Cohen is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist, and founder of Vibrant Blue Oils, a top resource for essential oils online.

In my quest to find awesome alcohol alternatives that still make you feel great I came across an ancient elixir called kava. I tried a cheap kava kava supplement and was unimpressed. A while later, I tried real kava. And in comparison, it knocked my socks off. So I brought on an expert to explain the difference, the science of kava, and what makes this such a prized plant. Meet our guest Cameron George is a researcher, writer, entrepreneur, and the founder of TRU KAVA, a company that is striving to set the industry standard for quality, safety, and education around all psychedelic plants including kava. Since discovering the amazing effects of traditional Kava during his own chronic illness, Cameron spent years investigating Kava and has collaborated with many of the most prominent experts in the world within the fields of Kava research and historical Kava use. TRU KAVA is focused on developing scalable user-friendly products that deliver the full therapeutic action of the traditional kava drink, which is the only form that has been highly prized in the South Pacific Islands for over 3000 years. Cameron has spent years working within a network of functional medicine physicians with whom he has been involved in clinical research and protocol development for Neurodegenerative and trauma-related conditions.

The body runs on chemicals and electricity. But it runs mostly on electricity (up to 80% by some estimates). The easy, safe, and effective low-hanging healing therapy, is rebalancing our bioenergy. Along with Ozone, this technology would be among the first things I'd turn to if I had virtually any condition or injury. Meet our guest Dr. Bob Dennis did original research work for NASA in 1996 on PEMF. He suffered a serious lower back injury as a firefighter in 2006. No mainstream medical options helped him (including oxycodone), so he modified his original work from NASA on PEMF into a portable PEMF device and it completely eliminated his pain. So it became his life's calling: to help people with serious debilitating pain who have no other options.

I'm always seeking things with an asymmetrical potential risk to reward. Certain tools, protocols, and tips actually work better than the standard of care, and with virtually zero downsides. Such is the case with ozone therapy. If I—or a loved one—come down with any condition, the first thing I'll do is look to see if ozone can help. Oftentimes, it can. That's what we're exploring in today's episode. Meet our guest Micah Lowe is one of the world's leading educators on the medicinal power of ozone therapy. He's also the owner of the ozone equipment company, Simply O3. His journey began in high school when he helped his dad develop equipment for Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (an effective therapy for infectious diseases and also chronic disease). A few years later, he dropped out of nursing school and quit working in an ambulance. In 2014, he started developing equipment for ozone therapy because there was a need for a less expensive, stable unit that people could use at home. Ozone therapy had a synergistic effect to UBI, so it was a good fit for him because he understood it well. Ozone therapy has been used since the 1920s, but Micah and SimplyO3 improved and modernized the equipment. Ozone Therapy became widely popular and the business took off after getting recognition from Harvard Medical by Dr. Michael Hamblin.

Whether you're looking to quit smoking naturally, get the athletic edge to crush your sports, stay alert through demanding workdays, or boost your memory for important occasions... the right essential oils can help. For most of my life, I considered essential oils a scam. Only after burning my tongue on pure oregano oil did I give them a shot. You also need a way to administer them. Typical diffusers scent the air but waste expensive oils and don't provide much therapeutic value. I discovered Füm's aromatherapy "pipe", and I never looked back. Meet our guest Adam McNeil is a book-nerd, marketer, and a challenger. He has a deep passion for stepping into messes beyond his capabilities and walking out stronger and better equipped to serve. Today, he works with the team at Füm determined to put an end to tobacco addiction and also create empowering positive habits.

Whether searching on other planets, or surviving on Earth, we know that water is a biological necessity. ~99/100 molecules in the human body are water. We're basically human aquariums, only as healthy as our internal "biowater". This episode explores how the vitality of water measurably impacts us, how to upgrade your own water, and little-known ancestral wisdom. Meet our guest Isabel is an international water advocate, speaker, activist, and educator. She's been studying water for 12 years and teaching about water for 6 years in 6 countries. Her wellness philosophy centers around the idea that the closer we come to nature, the healthier and more human we become. Contrarily, when we stray from these foundational laws of life, we become ill and feel disconnected from our Source. She's passionate about bringing modern scientific understanding together with ancient ancestral wisdom in a way that grounds primal elemental practices into our 21st-century lifestyles.

Do you have a scar somewhere on your body? If so, deficient in the nutrient hydrogen. When the body doesn't have enough hydrogen, it shuts down its regenerative systems. Recovery takes longer. Your vitality suffers. Chronic conditions arise. You can either perfect the integrity and health of your gut (and do everything in your power to maximize hydrogen absorption from food). Or you can use the easy and far more effective solution — Brown's Gas. Meet our guest George Wiseman grew up on a ranch in the backwoods of British Columbia; learning the value of hard work, knowledge, and skills. He became a Jack Of All Trades and subsequently became an inventor that has changed entire industries with his innovations. George started working with Brown's Gas in 1986, creating practical machines to apply this amazing gas in applications such as Fuel Saving, Torch-Fuel Gas, and Radioactive Neutralization.   He has become recognized worldwide and renowned in the practical applications of Brown's Gas. In 1996 his customers told him of their astonishing healings using Brown's Gas. It took them until 2005 to convince Mr. Wiseman to try the Brown's Gas on himself and he subsequently had substantial health improvements. Currently, he's developed a machine specifically optimized to safely provide Brown's Gas for Health in every home. Thank you to our partners Outliyr Peak Performance Shop: get exclusive discounts on cutting-edge health, wellness, & performance gear AquaCure AC50 Brown's Gas Machine to fix your hydrogen deficiency and stimulate the body's regenerative mechanisms Key takeaways Most of the ailments of man are either caused by or exacerbated by hydrogen deficiency When people are sick, usually their energy reserves have been drained and their energy generation systems have been compromised.
