My No 1 Exercise Biohack: How to Quickly Build Muscle and Recover Supernaturally

Dr. Cory is a KAATSU advocate. He’s in his mid-30s, married, has a couple of kids, a couple of dogs and because he chose to put his family first, his exercise and training suffered. Then he found KAATSU and was able to sustain his physical and training goals in a fraction of the time. He was so amazed with the system but couldn’t believe there was no downside. So he travelled to Japan to meet the inventor, Dr. Sato, and he found out the only sacrifice one makes by using KAATSU is that the more KAATSU one has, the less medication one takes. Today Dr. Cory shares with us absolutely everything KAATSU and how to integrate it into every possible workout you could think of. This episode is an incredible resource of how to use exercise and KAATSU together for every possible health goal and every possible person. Dr. Cory Keirn, DPT, OCS, CSCS, TSAC-F, XPS is a Doctor of Physical Therapy located in Tampa, Florida.

Dr Thomas Levy: This Internationally Acclaimed Cardiologist Proves That Oral Infections Cause Most Heart Attacks and Cancers

Dr Thomas (Tom) E. Levy is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney. After practicing adult cardiology for 15 years, he began to research the enormous toxicity associated with much dental work, as well as the pronounced ability of properly administered vitamin C to neutralize this toxicity. He has now written 13  books, with several addressing the wide-ranging properties of vitamin C in neutralizing all toxins and resolving most infections, as well as its vital role in the effective treatment of heart disease and cancer. Others address the important roles of dental toxicity and nutrition in disease and health. Recently inducted into the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame, Dr Levy continues to research the impact of the orthomolecular application of vitamin C and antioxidants in general on chronic degenerative diseases. His ongoing research involves documenting that all diseases are different forms and degrees of focal scurvy, arising from increased oxidative stress, especially intracellularly and that they all benefit from protocols that optimize the antioxidant levels in the body. He regularly gives lectures on this information at medical conferences around the world. Two of his most recent books, Hidden Epidemic and most recently Rapid Virus Recovery, are two books I highly recommend.  You can download a free copy of these titles by clicking on the book name and filling in the form. Join us as we explore:The incredibly experience that changed Dr Levy’s life and outlook on medicineA mind-blowing study where 100% of heart attack victims had oral bacteria in their heartHow we change the medical narrative about oral healthThe number one thing creating harm in medicine – the human egoWhy you may not even know you have an infected toothThe diseases related to root canals and infected teeth – spoiler: there’s a lot!The critical link between thyroid function, tonsils and cancerPossible life saving advice for cancer patientsEverything there is to know about vitamin C, including which type to avoid!The magic of liposomal vitamin C but why most products are pretenders All things nebulizer – ozone and hydrogen peroxide A masterclass on oxidative stress and leaky gutThe lowdown on ferritin The power of water pickingSupport the show on Patreon: As much we I love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertSupport the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

Jon Levy: the World’s Greatest Behavioural Scientist Unpacks Community, Trust and Cultivating Influence.

Jon Levy is a behavioral scientist best known for his work in influence, human connection, and decision making. Jon specializes in applying the latest research to transform the ways companies approach marketing, sales, consumer engagement, and culture. His clients range from Fortune 500 brands, like Microsoft, Google, AB-InBev, and Samsung, to startups. He is also a Springbok fan. :)More than a decade ago, Jon founded The Influencers Dinner, a secret dining experience for industry leaders ranging from Nobel laureates, Olympians, celebrities, and executives, to artists, musicians, and even the Grammy winning voice of the bark from “Who Let the Dogs Out.” Guests cook dinner together, but can’t discuss their career or give their last name, and once seated to eat, they reveal who they are. Over time, these dinners developed into a community. With thousands of members, Influencers is the largest community of its type worldwide. Jon’s second book, You’re Invited: The Art and Science of Cultivating Influence, has made a big splash since being released in May. In it, he demonstrates the importance of human connection, trust and community to accomplishing what is most important to us. In his free time, Jon works on outrageous projects. Among them spending a year traveling to all 7 continents, or to the world's greatest events (Grand Prix, Art Basel, Burning Man, Running of the Bulls, etc.) and barely surviving to tell the tale. These Adventures were chronicled in his first book: The 2 AM Principle: Discover the Science of Adventure.Join us as we explore:What made Jon a Springbok fan and why they won the South African rugby team won the 2007 World Cup. The concept of psychological safety, something more relevant than ever before.The two best predictors of longevity.
