And as those of you have been following this podcast, no, I have been paying attention to the a miracle molecule molecular hydrogen for quite a while.Molecular hydrogen is one of the most potent antioxidants in nature. And currently the scientific research around it, as well as the market for supplements is exploding. Molecular hydrogen can help to reduce the biggest factors, contributing to aging and has also been shown to improve issues associated with mitochondrial impairments, diabetes, metabolic issues, as well as reducing liver fat.And in fact, it's becoming so popular and renown that professional athletes have begun to use it, to help their bodies respond better to exercise and recovery, and also to increase their performance and energy. And I am really excited to welcome Alex Tavana is my guest today.

New technologies are coming in the near future that will push the boundaries of what we understand to be human and that will radically change what it means to be human. Cybernetic and biomedical technologies such as cloning, genetic engineering and nanotechnology are just a few of those and could make life better for everyone. What this could mean is the elimination of most diseases, babies free of genetic defects, the creation of non-human sentient beings that may have legal rights and the possibility of near immortality. All of these technologies hold great promise, but they also pose profound challenges to our culture, to our health and our democratic political systems. When humans become more than human - "post-human" or "transhuman" - these new technologies will require new answers for questions, such as: What limits should we place on the freedom of individuals to control their own bodies? Who should own genes or other living things? And which technologies should be mandatory, which voluntary and which forbidden? Democracies must assess and respond to these possibilities now and recognize the tremendous opportunities as well as the dangers, in order to actively decide what kind of society we want for ourselves and our children. My guest today has devoted his life and career to pondering and answering these questions. James Hughes Ph.D., the Executive Director of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, is a bioethicist and sociologist who serves as the Associate Provost for Institutional Research, Assessment and Planning for the University of Massachusetts Boston.

Research has found that the three leading causes of death—heart disease, cancer, and stroke—are caused predominantly by poor nutrition. While genetic factors do have an impact, it is possible to either accelerate disease processes or reverse them, through food choices. And water is an essential part of that. The water we consume has a profound impact on our immune system, our performance, our wellbeing and all over health.Today I am talking to an expert on water. Elisabeth Muhr is a passionate advocate for improving global drinking water and an acknowledged expert in hydrobiology. She graduated from Vienna’s University of Environmental Engineering in Environmental Engineering and Ecology, and was a visiting lecturer at Cal Poly Pomona teaching “Ecology Applied to Landscape Architecture.” Additionally, the Austrian Tyrolian Government tapped her expertise to evaluate the ecological impact of hydropower plants and the influence of highways on ecology and human well-being.Elisabeth is also the Co-Founder of Hallstein Water, a company renown for producing the highest quality drinking water in the world, emanating from an artesian aquifer, 700 ft deep in a layer of rock beneath the Dachstein mountain in Austria. It is the only water not pumped, filtered or treated, neither chemically nor mechanically.In this discussion, you'll hear...- The history of Hallstein Water...05:55- Why marketing and packaging of water is so confusing ad often purposefully misleading...10:05-Debunking common beliefs on so called "healthy" water...13:00Reverse osmosis machinesIonization machinesAlkaline water and babies-The quality, or lack thereof, of our tap water...17:40Infrastructure problem leads to asbestos being found in tap water2% of tap water is consumed98% is usedSome big name brands selling filtered tap water as bottled wate- The 8 core parameters of good water quality...21:30 -----Resources Mentioned:Hallstein WaterInstagramFacebookElizabeth's LinkedIn

As a culture, we are obsessed with penises. Our society often associates the phallus with social power and worth. And the pervasive focus on the phallus has a greater and potentially more negative impact on a plethora of issues, such as the self worth of women and men and gender equality, than many realize.Today I am talking to an expert on all things penis.Emily Willingham is the author of Phallacy: Life Lessons From the Animal Penis. Her writing has also been published in the New York Times, Scientific American, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and many others. She has a PhD in biological sciences and a BA in English literature, both from The University of Texas at Austin.In Phallacy, Emily Willingham explores animal genitalia while also delving into the social and cultural significance of penises as symbols of power and identity. She challenges the notion that the penis makes the man and the fallacy sold to many of us is that the penis signals dominance and power.In short: Emily Willingham thinks it's time to put the human penis into perspective ... for the sake of all of humanity.In this episode, you'll hear:The roots of our culture unhealthy obsession with Penises...02:25Book: Phallacy: Life Lessons from the Animal PenisAnthropologist, Wednesday MartinRoman beliefs of the male rolePenis trees and plantsHow the human penis measures up to the animal kingdom?...08:10The human penis is not so spectacular in comparison to some animalsDr. Emily breaks down the vast diversity of penises in the animal kingdomWhy men are deathly afraid of losing their manhood...12:10Witches would gain more power by eating a man's penisThe glamour of penises stems from witches and fairy talesWhy penises have been historically more fascinating than vaginas...14:10The truth behind the roles the penis and vagina play in evolutionary biologyThe sexism of the female cycleYouTube of pink plastic gloves on SharTtankHow menstruation was viewed as something unclean and shamefulWhat the experts get wrong about female sexual desire...20:35The narrative imposed on women is completely contradictory to how women were biologically wiredBook: The Pleasure Gap by Catherine RolandHow differing narratives on the human sexuality inform public policy...21:25Sexual politics + building roles around penisesSocioculturally and psychologically, we need an intentional language shiftHow the social discussion around transgender roles contradict biology...23:35Biology does not support binary gender rolesHow the mighty phallus has fallen...25:00The fall has come as men send pictures of their penises rather than their facesWe should focus on the brain, not the penisHow to shift the assumptions that the penis = masculinity...27:40Shifting the language will create a cultural shift and acceptanceConstraint in our culture about how boys and men are allowed to express themselvesParental support in gender identificationHow the discussion of size is detrimental to self-worth...30:45Humans don't have super large penises relative to the animal kingdom"Small dick" vs "Big dick" attitudesDr. Emily talks about her new book...32:55Being published later this year: The Tailored BrainMicro-dosing, Ketamine, pets and companionshipUplifting others allows us to uplift ourselves as wellEmily's best practices...35:15Non-negotiable daily walks with her partnerTwitter: @ejwillingham

Recreating ourselves and following our true calling and bringing meaning to the world and having success and fun along the way is something many of us are looking to do. Especially during these times of uncertainty we're collectively going through a present. How do we find out what we truly want and what the world needs, or maybe is missing?
