The powerful part of Dasha's story is in her capacity and willingness to change, and in her commitment to find joy in her new lifestyle approach. She is a leader and motivator behind the Women’s Health Collective @whealth.co, a global forum connecting communities of women with solid, evidence-based research.

BIOHACKING BREATH + STATE SHIFTING | KASPER VAN DER MEULEN - E4
In a very short span of time, Kasper van der Meulen has become one of my favorite people on the planet. He is a Breathwork specialist, Biohacker, and Science Teacher. Kasper went from being overweight, burnt out and unhappy, to developing extraordinary focus, fitness, and personal freedom. He put himself through numerous experiments and challenges, conquered the cold, ran ultramarathons on his bare feet, tested countless diets, read a ton of scientific literature, and explored as many optimization modalities as he could. In this episode, we talk about breath, fitness, the nervous system, ways to develop a positive mindset, his book, Mindlift, and dabble into the power of psychedelics. Highlights: Kasper’s origin; how his anxiety, stress, and depression, fear disorder got him interested in researching and biohacking himself. How he got his way to teaching and now using learning with his students and now conducting research and experiments with them. Your biggest “why” on optimizing your health. How you can find your way into your ultimate flow of state Breathing exercises and how amazingly this interconnects your whole body How he got interested and met with The Iceman Wim Hof and is now challenging himself by training with him in the cold. The importance of challenging and pushing yourself to the limits. The advantage of training in groups and getting the support system that comes with it. How Kasper found his way to music and the amazing reaction of our mind and body to sound Kasper’s study on Psilocybin Mushroom or also known as Psychedelic Mushrooms and how it could be an alternative to pharmaceutical drugs 3 Lifestyle Practices Kasper Recommends: Take 5 minutes of breathing practice Learn a new skill Take Cold Showers Kasper’s Lifestyle Changes Guidelines: Simplicity: It has to be as simple as possible Joy: Enjoy every moment, every reward of the hardships you will go through Growth: You should be able to see progress Join Kasper on IG: @kaspersfocus to watch him continue to win hearts and minds on his mission to share the principles of self-optimisation with humans all over the world. www.mindlift.com CHECK OUT THE WELLPOWER COMMUNITY: Website: https://www.wellpower.life/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biohacking.breath.cold/ NOT ONLY ARE THESE MY FAVORITE PRODUCTS BUT YOU CAN SUPPORT THE WELLPOWER PODCAST BY SUPPORTING THE BRANDS THAT HELP FUND THIS FREE EDUCATION TOOL (USE CODE WELLPOWER AT CHECKOUT): SHERPA BREATH AND COLD, WARRIOR WOMAN MODE ONLINE, LIGHTPATHLED, KAYLAGEN / STEMREGEN, BIOPTIMIZERS, YARLAP, KION, NOOTOPIA, AMPCOIL, BRAINTAP, MITOPURE, CRYOSPRING, HYDROFIX / HOLY HYDROGEN, FILTEROPTIX, UBLOCKOUT, SILVER BIOTICS MORE INFO EXISTS ON MY ONLINE SHOP: https://www.wellpower.life/shop

WTF IS EMF?? | ANDREAS BREITFELD - E2
Do we have one bold and BADASS biohacker as a guest for you! Andreas Breitfeld taught me everything I know about EMF and then some... Cell phones, microwaves, airplanes - oh, my! The potential ramifications of unchecked exposure to electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation are immense. Since we all are dependent in some way on using devices to connect with our jobs, friends, families, and the world, opting out is not viable, but there are some guidelines that seem to help mitigate the effects. Andreas' career spans fitness to textiles to biohacking. He was the first fitness editor of SHAPE Magazine and with such a breadth of knowledge, it was important to get the scoop on EMF protection and other health tools to meet the challenges of an active, global lifestyle.
