Rogue State of Mind

For the past three years I have lived in the deep forest insulated from society. When everyone around the entire world was wearing muzzles on their face, life remained normal in northern Idaho.  I recently moved back to southern California. The main reason was to be closer to my family because I don't miss birthdays and rarely miss holidays. I was tired of flying in planes every few months and getting touched in sensitive areas by the TSA so often. My decision to move was solidified when I was stranded after Christmas and at the mercy of airline companies and rental car agencies. There are some things that I already miss, like military vets standing guard downtown with their AR-15s when Antifa was doing their Pacific Northwest tour, and not hearing any noise pollution for days on end. But living completely off grid like I was wasn't everything the social media meme maker idealists make it out to be. Listening to a generator roaring for six months out of the year when there is no sun is major noise pollution. I would estimate that 50% of my time and energy last year was tied up not with researching health topics like I would've liked, but in troubleshooting broken generators and unsticking stuck big rig machines from my land. In this episode I break down what real spiritual development means to me, my current projects that I'm focusing on in my new home, and answer listener questions including what I would do if I had a benign head tumor, what makes my water filter different from the rest, my top 5 supplements, and more.

“By the refining of Peat-Fiber it would be possible to free the bound elemental beings therein, and these elemental beings would then out of gratitude protect people from what was imminent in the near future, namely that the atmosphere would be so permeated by electricity, magnetic fields, aircraft and much worse, that for the people life on earth would be a torment. But textiles and garments made from Peat-Fibers could protect humans from these influences“. - Rudolph Steiner Patrick Steensma took the information shared by Rudolph Steiner and made products out of it, including peat fiber comforters, mattress toppers, and even vests to protect your energy while you are away from home. He touches on the physical benefits of being in close proximity to peat fiber, but mostly focuses on the energetic aspects. Get ready because this episode gets weird!

What effects does a single-celled algae called chlorella and a cyanobacteria named spirulina have on our mitochondria? What did the United Nations say about spirulina in 1974? Why are third party lab tests important with spirulina and chlorella? Why do most companies selling spirulina and chlorella tablets use high heat in their processing? What does high heat do to superoxide dismutase? Catharine Arnston, founder of EnergyBits, joins us to talk about the power of spirulina and chlorella to power up our cells and increase energy levels. Packed with forty vitamins and minerals, she believes so much in the power of them that she takes 100 tablets a day!

Ketone bodies are produced by the liver and used as an energy source when glucose is not readily available. They have been shown to protect neurons from oxidative stress and excitotoxicity, potentially improving brain health and function in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, or traumatic brain injury.  Dr Latt Mansor from HVMN breaks down the history of ketones, the difference between utilizing glucose and ketones to fuel our cells, his thoughts on hard ketones and ketone esters, why he prefers pure 1,3 butanediol to other ketone products, how to use exogenous ketones strategically to improve performance, and whether taking exogenous ketones shuts down ones ability to burn our own body fat.

In my first episode with Eric Laarakker and Mario Brainovic and Mario of Analemma they described what coherent water is and its effects on biology. In this second talk with them they expand on that idea and talk about new research studies that they conducted using their water. One study showed a staggering 27% increase in ATP in two months of drinking the coherent water, another study showed increased bacterial activity in the soil of cherry tomato plants, and another showed 17% improvement in gut dysbiosis in three months. They introduce their whole house device and touch on the topical benefits of coherent water. We also talk about growing in a greenhouse versus outdoors, electroculture, whether EMF blocking is a good idea, the GlycanAge study, how best to charge the Analemma portable device, and why its just as important to remove the energetic contaminants as the physical contaminants.

Who can gain benefit from using intermittent fasting and/or ketosis? What is cortisol resistance and what role does it play in our health? How long should someone stay in ketosis before they cycle in carbohydrates? Is physiological insulin resistance a bad thing? What happens to our liver when we consume carbohydrates and fats at the same time? What is the Organic Acids Test (OAT) and why is it a good jumping off point? Marek Doyle has been studying human health for over 17 years. He is not anti carb neither is he anti keto, thus making him a unicorn in the health sphere.
