Live Beyond the Norms
Chris Burres
You want to have a spectacular life. You want to live longer as long as you are healthy mentally and physically. This podcast has been a vision of mine for the last two and a half years. As I continue to share with people the astounding results, 90% extension of life in test subjects, reported in peer-reviewed published research about our molecule ESS60, I started to think about what it would be like to live longer. Not just longer, but ALOT longer. I also started thinking about how living longer would disrupt the vision many people had about their lives and the final years of that life. This podcast is big enough to cover all aspects of Living Beyond the Norms but it will start and probably focus on health and longevity and the cutting-edge research which promises significantly longer and healthier living. It will also cover the unconventional strategies employed today by today's experts to help people Live Beyond the Norms.

How Sitting in a Sauna 4X a Week Can Make You Live 40% Longer
What if sitting in a sauna for just 20 minutes, 4 times per week, could reduce your risk of dying from all causes by nearly 40%? According to peer-reviewed research on over 2,000 people, that's exactly what this ancient ritual can do. Sauna expert Brian Richards reveals why this practice is so powerful for healing the body at the deepest level.As Brian explains, the key lies in raising your core temperature by 3 degrees, sweating out a pound of water, and reaching a state of mild exhaustion. This triggers a cascade of healing effects, such as producing heat shock proteins that optimize cell function and releasing toxins through sweat.But not all saunas are created equal. Brian shares why the incandescent bulbs used in his "electric light bath" provide a major upgrade to the benefits of heat by delivering therapeutic near-infrared light.

"The human body is the most beautifully engineered tool that we have in our universe. It works really well if it's given the basic modicum of what it needs.
