“A rapid advance in technology with a slower catchup in biology”. That simple but profound fact is at the crux of cancer. Week after week I walk into offices with dinosaur toys for my clients. Why? Because of exactly what Professor Thomas Seyfried will explain today - urban humans are evolutionary victims of the abundance of energy available, and storing all this excess, engineered and genetically modified energy is making us sick. It’s giving us cancer. But there’s good news - we have everything we need to beat cancer today. Thomas N. Seyfried received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry, and is currently  a professor at Boston College. He is a many time award winning professor, chair of various committees and editorial boards, and has over 150 peer-reviewed publications and is the author of the book, “Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer” (Wiley, 1st ed., 2012). The book presents extensive research that cancer can be best defined as a mitochondrial metabolic disease rather than as a genetic disease. This new concept has implications for the development of new non-toxic cancer therapies including the ketogenic diet.Join us as we explore:Why Professor Seyfried believes the reasons behind the rise in cancer are not a mystery, and can be precisely pinpointed. Why the medical and academic establishmenst are getting cancer all wrong, and despite billions of dollars spent in “the war on cancer” more people die everyday than the day before, with about 70 people per hour in the US.The what’s and how’s everyone can do to today to give themselves the best chance of preventing cancer - there’s two huge ones!How the lives of wolves and domestic dogs clearly demonstrate the story of cancer in the modern age.The two pronged attack Professor Seyfried believes can successfully target any cancer. Contact Website: https://tomseyfried.comMentions:Person - Albert Schweitzer, https://www.stress.org/stress-and-cancer Person - Dr. Christos Chinopoulos, https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Christos-Chinopoulos Paper - Case report: Resolution of malignant canine mast cell tumor using ketogenic metabolic therapy alone, https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2023.1157517/fullSupport 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.

Liquid, solid, gas. H20. That’s water right? Not so fast. There is a fourth and fascinating phase of water called EZ or structured water. And this is not a new discovery but one that no attention is being paid to. And I cannot understand why. I structure my water, and after today’s discussion with the father of EZ water Dr Jerry Pollack, you may want to structure your water too.Dr Gerald (Jerry) H. Pollack is a scientist recognized worldwide as a dynamic speaker and author, whose passion lies in plumbing the depths of natural truths, especially known for his work on water. He received the 1st Emoto Peace Prize, and is a recipient of the University of Washington's highest honor the Annual Faculty Lecturer Award.

After 25 years of meeting and treating people in pain, I have learnt that chronic pain is a complex condition, and solutions often prove illusive. And as the pain continues month after month, year after year, failed treatment after failed treatment, doctor after doctor, people fall into depression, disillusionment and despair. Understandably so. That’s why when I hear Court’s stories of spontaneous recovery and single treatments resulting in total pain remission, I feel hopeful that a future exists where less people are going to have to surrender to unending suffering. Court Wing is a former chronic pain sufferer and the founder and CEO of REMAP Therapeutics, an organization dedicated to exploring, innovating, and developing the intersection between psychedelics and chronic pain. Seeing an unmet need, REMAP organized and hosted the first of its kind “Psychedelics and Pain Symposium” with some of the most prominent researchers in the field. REMAP Therapeutics is devoted to the development of formal psychedelic rehabilitation sessions and cohesive best practices for many treatment-resistant chronic pain conditions. Join us as we explore:The sad statistics of chronic pain, the technical definition, why we are seeing so much of it, why we have been unsuccessful at treating it and why psychedelics provide new, genuine hope for a pain treatment renaissance.How less than a handful of psychedelic dosages allowed a war veteran to move toes and fingers she hadn’t been able to move for 7 years.The incredible connection between our eyes, our visual field, being outside and chronic pain!You’ve heard of the microbiome, but what about the psychobiome!Why treatment is not just about the psychedelic - it’s about the combination with human connection and a process of therapy or counseling.Contact:Website: https://www.remaptherapeutics.comMentions:Method - Z Health, https://zhealtheducation.com Study - Single-Dose Psilocybin Treatment for Major Depressive Disorder A Randomized Clinical Trial, https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2808950 Study - More than a gut feeling, https://www.ucc.ie/en/media/academic/anatomy/2019news/january2019/0119cryan.pdf Study - Relief from intractable phantom pain by combining psilocybin and mirror visual-feedback (MVF)Support 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.

They are the unsung heroes of the body. Those trust steeds that move us through the journey of life, taking us from place to place, moment to moment, adventure to adventure. That’s right - our feet. These humble appendages are so often overlooked, taken for granted  and expected to be okay. But feet need to be cared for and considered like everything else, and that’s why I decided to talk to foot surgeon Dr Andrew Lundquist.Dr Andrew Lundquist is a Foot and Ankle Surgeon, Chief Medical Officer of Mankato Clinic, Chief Innovation Officer at Stratum Med, Clinical Director at Nabla, co-founder of sky-surgical.com and writes on the Substack “Get Better.Health”.  With over 16 years of experience as a foot and ankle surgeon and a MBA degree, Andrew became passionate about improving patient care through system innovation and strategic leadership.

You can survive weeks without food, days without water but only a few minutes without your breath. Yet when thinking about health, we spend so much time debating diets and exercise, and too little discussing how we breath, why we breathe, what we can use breathing for and the unexpected but meaningful places breathing can take us. So today’s episode is with another breathing pioneer Gio Bartolomeo and his breathwork journey. Giovanni Bartolomeo is an entrepreneur and life adventurer with a passion for teaching, experiential learning and creating deep connections with others. He is the founder of Elemental Wellness studio in Toronto, founder of Elemental Rhythm Breathwork Programs and Facilitator Training, host of the podcast Elemental Awakening, co-founder of The Personal Development School, a breathwork facilitator and life/executive coach. He is always looking for the next consciousness-expanding learning experience whether it be climbing mountains in his shorts with Wim Hof, participating in Traditional Ayahuasca ceremonies, or challenging his mind and body to see what new limits he can reach. His mission is to create new ideas and ways to help improve the planet for not only the people currently living on it but for those who we will leave it to one day.Join us as we explore:An a to z of breathwork. From calming yourself down to mystical experiences, and everything in between, Gio’s stories about breathwork will blow you away.A detailed dive into the cold - what it’s good for, when to use it and when not to.Why adding music and rhythm to breathwork is scientifically backed to reprogram your brain.Sharing an experiential Elemental breathwork session!How breathwork impacts your biomarkers like HRV and sleep.Contact: Website: https://www.elementalrhythm.comWebsite: https://goelemental.ca Support 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.

Whether NAFLD or MASLD, the facts remain the same - livers are sicker than they’ve ever been. And the reason why is the crux of this episode. It’s not the ills of old like hepatitis or alcohol that’s actually why the majority of liver transplants are done - it’s fatty livers. And the saddest part - fatty liver disease is a completely avoidable and reversable disease that requires no more than the basics of eating well, sleeping well and moving our body enough.
