There's no such things as a magic bullet. If you want to live optimal, you need a plan just for you. Enter METPRO. Whether it's Weight loss, prepping for a competition or a boost in your energy - it takes a plan.  This is one of the most refreshing nutrition/performance podcast interviews I've had in a long time. Why? Because there's zero bullshit. No overreaching claims, no grandiose allegations or generalization of data. METPRO is centered around your personal data to figure out the best plan for you to reach your fitness goals.  Angelo Poli works with world-class athletes, movie stars and corporate juggernauts, but his system works for everyone because it's based on YOU! _________________________ SPECIAL OFFER: Go to metpro.co/opp and connect with a skilled coach for FREE. Connect with someone who knows how to help you figure out how to reach your fitness goals as fast as possible.  _________________________ Here's what you need to know: • Fad diets in their nature are unsustainable for metabolic progress. • There's no guarantee that what works for one person will work for another. • If you've been experimenting with diets, and your weight has been fluctuating for years...your metabolism is confused and out of balance.  • Time management is everything - something as simple as planning ahead by packing a snack may make the difference of whether you have success or not.  Ask yourself these questions: What is my best body worth to me?  Do I have any idea what sort of nutrition works best for me?  Do I have any idea what sort of exercise will be most effective? Could I use the help of an expert to help me be my best?

The Renegade Pharmacist joins us for a fascinating conversation about personal health, self-empowerment, healing the self through breath, meditation, yoga and dance. His SOMA Breath program is a powerful process of healing from the inside out. BELIEVE ME...watch the testimonials on the site.  Niraj was a stressed out pharmacist for a major corporation in the UK which lead him to bed rest and pooping blood 40 times a day before he realized he had to make a massive shift in his life. The diagnosis and subsequent pharmaceuticals he was taking for his colitis proved ineffective in treating him. His health and mental well-being got so bad that he began to have suicidal thoughts. It was the principles of breath and movement, plus colostrum and Aryuvedic eating approaches that healed him and lead him on a journey to help others.  NOW - Niraj produces music festivals, works with Wim Hof, hosts healing retreats and advocates for healing from within. SPECIAL OFFERS COLOSTRUM: Get your hands on the gut healing, vitality boosting colostrum that helped Niraj literally turn his health around.  Head to Soma Breath and use SOMA20 for 20% off breath work protocols, classes and more.  In this Episode we cover: • The blood-sucking western medical structure • Aryuvedic principals for our current world • Measuring your health through timed breath holds • Intermittent hypoxia • Endogenous DMT/Altered States through your breath • The power of the healing in a group • Stem Cell optimization through breathing And much more!

Dr. Que is the co-founder and principal investigator at the Center For Deuterium Depletion in Los Angeles, California. Que has been using deuterium and tracer technologies to describe and follow the health status of patients with metabolic disorders such as cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. Our conversation really pushes the boundaries of common awareness in the realm of disease prevention, optimal performance, longevity and more.  This is the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to why your favorite nutritional approaches like keto, IF, OMAD work and make you feel so vibrant.  IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER: • What is deuterium? (hint, it's the other hydrogen) • How we can become more effective as adults (who are done growing) can be more effective at depleting our bodies of this over-abundant "Heavy Hydrogen" • My deuterium test results... • Dr. Que along with Drs. Laszlo Boros M.D., Gábor Somlyai and Anne Cooper and their audacious goal of "making cancer optional in the next 5 years." This is cutting edge research that is already making waves across the planet. But, it's not new...there have been 4 Nobel Prizes awarded for research in Deuterium, this team is dedicated to bringing this information to the masses.    Enjoy

PACKED WITH USEFUL INFORMATION! Dr. Stephen Cabral was debilitatingly sick from age 17-27 and was determined to figure out what standard western medicine couldn't.  He traveled to India, China and Europe - saw over 50 doctors and underwent over 100 treatment protocols to solve what was ailing him.  Why was he sick? Why weren't the pharmaceuticals effective in treating his symptoms? Sound familiar?  We all know someone who is dealing with a medical issue that continues to elude western medicine. Well, consider The Rain Barrel Effect, which Dr. Cabral uses to characterize the accumulation of toxins in the body as a leading cause of disease.  Enjoy
