1 in 6 or 1 in 7 couples is going to face infertility. We talk about fertility as a women's issue as a society, but that's not the case… But, for heterosexual couples, it's just as likely for infertility to be coming from the male OR the female. Sperm quality isn't just an indicator of fertility, it's also a major indicator for male health. In today's show, we're talking with Khaled Kteily of LEGACY all about male fertility, the construct of masculinity and how it's changing and how we can help, common causes of male interfility and things that can hurt sperm health, how TRT can actually HURT your sperm health, and a candid conversation on creating more joy in your life and the things that steal from it. Khaled Kteily is a former healthcare consultant at Oliver Wyman in Toronto and studied healthcare and public policy at Harvard University, where he received a full scholarship and graduated with disctinciton. Khaled has previously worked at the World Economic Forum in Geneva, where he had his work on the future of entrepreneurship published at Davos. He's also the owner and founder of Legacy. Legacy is a digital first fertility clinic focused on male-factor fertility. Legacy empowers men with the ability to improve, test, or freeze their sperm at home without needing to go to a doctor's office or talk to someone if they don't want to. And, fun fact, if you're in New York or California, your insurance may reimburse you for using Legacy's product. THAT'S how cool it is.

Have you ever spent 10 full minutes in complete silence, no music, no journaling, no TV, no computer/phone, no humming, no talking, no... anything? I don't know if I have. Today's guest, Shane Heath, spent a full 10 DAYS in total silence at a recent retreat. While Shane is better known for being the owner and founder of MUDWTR, a coffee alternative consisting of organic ingredients lauded by cultures old and young for their health and performance benefits, today's conversation centered around Shane's recent meditation experience and all the tangible takeaways from it. In today's show, Shane takes us through all the lows and the highs of 10 days of complete silence, spending over 8 hours a day meditating, his journey of learning what some of his personal "drugs" are (including work and finding self-worth through his job), developing intuition and deeper physical and emotional awareness, Shane's passion for the wellbeing of his employees at MUDWTR, the future of entrepreneurship, deeper wisdom, and how the simple act of removing things from your life can actually give you more.

**DISCLAIMER: THIS PODCAST IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE AND IS FOR EDUCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. DO NOT CONSUME ANY DRUG WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL** On today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kelsey Ramsden of MINDCURE. Kelsey is a cancer survivor, and what we could call a lifelong entrepreneur, starting in the construction and real estate industries, who then moved into the world of psychedelics, where she helped find MINDCURE. In today's episode, we talked about Kelsey's career evolution, how she discovered psychedelics and psychedelic assisted therapy, and we dive into some of the nuts and bolts of psychedelics (with a heavy focus on psilocybin, but also touching on the class of psychedelia as a whole, including MDMA, ketamine, LSD, ibogaine, 5-meO-DMT, peyote, and others). We focus on Kelsey's own journey through psychedelic assisted therapy; what to expect from a psychedelic journey; the effects of psilocybin on the nervous system, neuroplasticity, and connecting the right and left hemispheres of the brain; psychedelics for performance and flow state; and more.

Today we're bringing a repeat guest back on the show for a very different episode than our first interview. Alyssa Olenick, aka the Honey Badger Mountain Goat, is one of my favorite internet humans. A brilliant PhD student, an incredible content creator, and just a really cool human, today's conversation with Lyss gets... really real. We talk all about experiencing large growth on social media in one of the toughest years to be a human at all, aka 2020. We talk growth, we talk the realities of "influencing," high levels of stress, and as the title would imply, losing our sleep, hair, and minds.

You all are in for a TREAT today... First thing's first: today's conversation is definitely more adult in nature, so not the best for listening around little ones, at work, etc. Probably best with headphones OR listening with your gal pals if we're being honest. Today, I chatted with one of my best friends, Emily Cossin. What we covered: -how we met by dating the same guy (it's a good story) -letting Emily roast me and my dating life -learning to deal with rejection and how it's not always "there must be something wrong with me if they aren't into me" -why rejection is a blessing -physical vs emotional rejection -questions and red/green flags for first dates -developing sexual confidence -self pleasure/masturbation -getting to know yourself sexually -demanding what you want/need from sex and how to speak up to your partner -NO ONE LOOKS CUTE WHEN THEY ORGASM -every vagina is beautiful in it's own way, okay?

Today's episode is going to be all about productivity. 2020 was a year where more of us transitioned to a work from home structure, and that transition was one of the things I was asked about the most. I've worked from home from my computer as an online fitness coach since December 2015, and I also did a good chunk of my degree online when I moved out of state. So, needless to say I've gotten pretty decent at being productive from home and from a computer. Whether you're a work-from-home-er or you're simply trying to find ways to maximize your time, this episode should give you some solid takeaways that you can incorporate into your day.
