This episode introduces alternative methods for recovery, focusing on red light therapy, a.k.a. photobiomodulation. Guest Forrest Smith of Kineon Labs explains their benefits for athletic performance, reduction of recovery time, minimizing inflammation and even unique applications for gut health, brain health, and improving sleep.  Follow Kineon @kineon_labs Follow Chase @chase_chewning ----- In this episode, you will learn... Over-the-counter drugs such as NSAIDs, often used in sports and fitness, can carry significant risks including cardiovascular disease, liver damage, stomach ulcers, and a decrease in neuroplasticity.  Photobiomodulation devices can provide a safer and more effective alternative to pharmaceuticals for enhancing athletic performance and recovery, reducing inflammation, and improving metabolic health. Regular, deep sleep is vital in the recovery process and can protect the brain from the buildup of waste materials. Understanding the biochemical and physiological processes behind performance and recovery can help identify and address the root causes of issues.  Nitric oxide plays a critical role in the body, helping with blood vessel dilation and delivering more blood to muscles. However, as people age, the production of nitric oxide decreases, making it important to find ways to stimulate its production.  Chronic inflammation is highly damaging to the body, impacting everything from muscle performance to cardiovascular health. ----- Episode resources: Learn more about Kineon Labs Light therapy for bipolar disorder: a case series in women The impact of wavelengths of LED light-therapy on endothelial cells Red Light Therapy Improves Reaction Time in Athletes Watch and subscribe on YouTube

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, Legion Athletics, and JoyMode. In this episode, we delve into the journey of Eben Britton, a man who emerged from the chaos of an alcoholic family, became a warrior in the NFL and later, healing through Al-Anon 12 step programs, yoga, and meditation. Eb and I discuss a variety of topics aimed at aiding personal growth, including the fascinating benefits of open focus meditation, the dangers of seeking external validation, and the role of faith in navigating life's challenges. We also discuss the changing landscape of masculinity, the importance of male bonding, and the power of proper breathwork. This episode serves as a testament to the transformative power of inner stillness and a reminder that we all have the ability to transform our lives. Follow Eben @edsbritton Follow Chase @chase_chewning ----- In this episode, you will learn... Open focus meditation can provide significant benefits for personal growth, helping individuals to clear their minds, reduce stress, and enhance their overall wellbeing. Seeking external validation can be detrimental to our self-worth and self-esteem. It's crucial to find validation within ourselves and be at peace with who we are. Faith plays a vital role in overcoming life's obstacles. Regardless of religious beliefs, having faith in oneself, the process, or a higher power can be instrumental in navigating life's challenges. The evolving landscape of masculinity highlights the importance of male bonding and healthy expressions of masculinity, promoting mental health and fostering stronger relationships. Proper breathwork is a powerful tool that can be used to enhance physical and mental health, promote relaxation, and assist in managing stress and anxiety. ----- Episode resources: Watch and subscribe on YouTube Learn more about Eben Save 15% on the delicious grass fed and grass finished beef sticks at https://www.Paleovalley.com/everforward  Save 20% on you entire first purchase of the most scientifically proven performance and recovery supplements with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.LegionAthletics.com  Save 20% on Sexual Performance Booster and improve stamina and erection quality with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.UseJoyMode.com/everforward 

Prepare for a journey to a time when an ancient species co-existed with Homo sapiens. My esteemed guest, Dr. Lee Berger - one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people of the year - and I will take you deep into the heart of this captivating past. We will navigate the uncharted waters of human evolution, guided by the discovery of Homo Naledi, a discovery that  challenges our very notion of what it means to be human. Follow Lee @thefossilvault Follow Chase @chase_chewning ----- In this episode, you will learn... Dr. Lee Berger's discovery of Homo Naledi, a new species in human evolution, drastically challenges traditional understandings of human evolution. The species exhibited complex cultural practices such as mortuary rituals and engraving symbols, pushing the limits of our understanding of non-human culture.  The Homo Naledi species co-existed with Homo sapiens hundreds of thousands of years ago. The discovery contradicts the previous narrative that Homo sapiens were the only species in Africa, leading to a reevaluation of our assumptions in the field of archaeology and human evolution. The Homo Naledi species was found in extremely difficult-to-reach caves, showcasing the complexity and extent of their behaviors. The very use of these caves for their cultural practices, combined with the discovery of symbols, fires, and tools, suggests a higher level of intelligence and complexity than previously assumed for non-human species. The discovery of Homo Naledi had a profound personal impact on Dr. Berger. Not only did it challenge his understanding of human evolution, but it also put his life at risk during the exploration process.  ----- Episode resources: Enroll in the 2024 Ever Forward Mentorship   Learn more about Cave of Bones book and the documentary-series on Netflix
