The Life Stylist

In the not-too-distant future, I think we are going to look back at the proliferation of wireless technology and the widespread installation of cellular infrastructure and ask ourselves, “How were we so stupid?” That isn’t to say these technologies are evil or we should all destroy our smart devices right now — I’d be lost without the calendar on my phone — but we’re using them in some pretty stupid and dangerous ways. So, to learn more about the EMF crisis and 5G in the era of COVID-19, I sat down with one of the world’s foremost EMF experts: Nick “The EMF Guy” Pineault, the #1 bestselling author of The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs: How to Fix Our Stupid Use of Technology and an advocate for safe technologies. Through his unconventional approach blending humor, science, and common sense, he’s becoming a leading voice on the topic of electromagnetic pollution and how it affects our health. This isn’t an introduction to a vast conspiracy. This isn’t a doomsday prophecy. This is just an effort to analyze the facts that we have so that we can, collectively, start to influence the research and legislation around wireless and “smart” technologies with our health and our family’s health in mind. The truth of the matter is that, right now, we just don’t know what a “safe” dose of EMF radiation is and how much needs to change. That’s why we need people like Nick out there advocating for safe technology and educating people on what currently makes so many of our devices markedly unsafe. If you want to learn a little more about 5G, Nick is offering The Life Stylist listeners a free gift: his quick and rational guide to 5G in 5 minutes.   08:50 — Nicolas’ personal journey in the pandemic, why he decided to start investigating, and what he learned The 12,000-word article that Nicolas wrote: "Navigating Through The “Coronavirus-Panic”: 8 Inconvenient Facts To Consider" Trying to act and communicate as an impartial diplomat What the scientific data indicates about the dangers of the coronavirus Putting the death statistics into perspective   19:35 — Breaking down Nic’s article & how his opinion has evolved since writing it Dr. David Katz and his #TotalHarmMinimization strategy Uncomfortable conversations about death Is death from the coronavirus worse than the death of someone who dies of suicide during the lockdown? How the reaction to the virus varies across different countries We cannot ignore the deaths of despair "Navigating Through The “Coronavirus-Panic”: 8 Inconvenient Facts To Consider" Fact #1: We’re Locking Down Entire Countries To Stop the Coronavirus… And The Consequences Are (And Will Be) Disastrous Fact #2: “Confirmed” Cases Of COVID-19 Are… Well… Not-So-Confirmed Fact #3: “Confirmed” Deaths From COVID-19 Are Not-So-Confirmed Either Fact #4: The WHO’s Panic-Inducing Death Rates Are Akin To Comparing Apples To Oranges Fact #5: Overall Mortality Rates From Respiratory Infections Have Still Not Increased Significantly Fact #6: A Slew Of International Experts Warn That The Danger Of COVID-19 Has Been Dangerously Overblown Fact #7: The Data Confirms That Lockdowns Are Possibly Useless & Surely Damaging Fact #8: Things Are Getting Better, And Better, And Better   01:12:50 — Luke’s perspective The media’s efforts to mislead the public — why? Bill Gates and his conflicts of interest A Canadian’s perspective on US late-night talk shows   01:40:10 — Your questions about 5G What does 5G mean? The two different phases of 5G How EMFs affect human biology in different situations The privacy issues of 5G rollout Technology that is both safer and faster than 5G — but that we’re not using Higher wave frequency doesn’t actually seem to indicate higher rates of side effects EMFs reduce male fertility No one reputable is saying that 5G causes the coronavirus, but there may be a correlation between the presence of 5G and more vulnerable populations   02:32:55 — Can we protect ourselves from 5G? Most EMF-blocking solutions will still work to protect you from 5G signals Most meters do not measure EMF radiation over 8 GHz — so we're missing a huge part of the story. That’s why Nicolas is starting MeterCrisis.com.

Dr. Alexander Wunsch is one of the world’s foremost experts on everything light. If you’ve been listening to the show for a while, you know how passionate I am about biohacking my environment, and light is a big part of that, and it was a dream of mine to have Dr. Wunsch on the show to help me clear some things up. Because there is a lot of conflicting information out there about whether you should avoid sunlight and the risks of living indoors, where we’re bombarded with artificial light. So, Dr. Wunsch is here to clear up any misconceptions and teach us what we need to know to optimize our health and the health of our families. This information is also particularly pertinent to maintaining your physical, mental, and spiritual wellness during this period of time when people all around the world are spending more time at home than usual, exposing themselves to even less natural light and even more toxic light. After listening to this episode, you will understand why our light environment is just as important as our air, food, and water — and you are going to look at your blue-blocking glasses (or the people you have made fun of for wearing blue-blocking glasses) in a whole new light. 06:00 — What is photobiology? Photobiology is the science of light acting on biological organisms Its critical role in human healing and health Our circadian rhythm: how to manage it and why it matters Sunlight played a paramount role in the development of life, starting 3.5 billion years ago “Junk light”   10:45 — The different types of lighting we are exposed to & how they affect us The color spectrum of daylight Vs. the color spectrum from artificial lights Why incandescent bulbs weren’t as bad as LED or fluorescent lights How blue light exposure wrecks our eyes, brains, and sleep Why short wavelengths of light have the greatest effect on our cellular metabolism The more ultraviolet radiation in the environment, the more stress put on your cells Why it matters that your skin is also susceptible to blue light Why blue-blocking glasses are critical at night As soon as the body detects more blue light in its environment, it starts producing more stress hormones — and this is perfect in nature but horribly damaging in our artificial environments full of blue light Were blue lights put into school and work environments to increase productivity? And did they know about the harmful effects?   20:37 — Did offices, schools, factories, hospitals, and big-box stores adopt artificial blue lights knowing about their harmful effects? Or did they just want to save money? “Light sells” The role of light in our industrial and economic history, going back to the first Industrial Revolution Trading short-term productivity for long-term harm It’s hard to tell just how damaging our artificial environments are because we don’t have any good control groups anymore The parallel development of light bulbs and electricity   35:40 — The legislation that made selling incandescent bulbs illegal (to save energy) & the legislation that was passed to make it legal again Did we actually need to ban incandescent bulbs for the environment? Were they unsustainable? What the healthiest lightbulbs on the market are and how to find them Incandescent Edison Light Bulbs Incandescent (Non -LED) Mini Christmas Lights Red Light Incandescent Bulbs   47:30 — A deep dive into the negative biological effects of blue light The biological history of melatonin As long as we see the colors of the sunset (clear color discrimination), we are in an environment that is too bright for our bodies to repair themselves Melatonin’s role as a signaling molecule The most surprising and common sources of blue light in our day-to-day environments After we’ve been exposed to blue light, how long does it affect our biology? How long do we have to be exposed to blue light before it disrupts our biology? What you can do to mimic natural light in your home The ridiculous degree to which our indoor lights are brighter than the moon   01:06:50 — Why LED and fluorescent lights suck so bad & the difference between the two Our body experiences discomfort if the light environment is different from what it expects as a result of evolution How does flickering light affect us? How flicker reduces productivity by a startling amount How toxic lighting negatively impacts your eyes Why dark mode is extremely beneficial The Kindle Oasis Reader allows you to change the color temperature of the screen BLUblox glasses Programs you can install on your computer and phone to make them less damaging Iris computer blue-blocking software It’s better to have a good e-reader in dark mode than to read a book in artificial light The Irlen Institute   01:25:40 — Why we need a direct connection to outside The more daylight you can get, the better How windows and glasses ruin sunlight and turn it into junk light Why Dr. Wunsch prefers controlled exposure to sunlight over things like cracking your car window open The benefits of sungazing at dusk and dawn   01:36:35 — The mercury photons coming from fluorescent bulbs Dr. Wunsch’s hypothesis about what they’re doing to our bodies   01:42:00 — The hierarchy of indoor lighting: is any of it not junk? The worst is cold light — fluorescent and LED — especially when they have a high color temperature LEDs can vary quite a bit Incandescent is better Running incandescent bulbs on a direct current will also eliminate flicker Dr. Wunsch’s #1 artificial lighting is a 12V halogen lamp running off of direct current   More about this episode.

This is a very special, unreleased bootleg broadcast originally recorded for the Almost 30 podcast, hosted by the wonderful Lindsey Simcik and Krista Williams. We had this conversation right after I got home from my first trip to Costa Rica, where I participated in four ayahuasca journeys at the Rythmia Life Advancement Center. We focus on not just the experience of the ceremonies but the lessons that I learned from them and how I was integrating those lessons into my life. Many of those lessons are pertinent to the issues that we’re facing as a collective today, and that’s why we all decided this would be the perfect time to drop the recording.  And if you want to learn more about my trip to Rythmia or ayahuasca in general, you’re in luck! Below, you’ll find links to episodes featuring play-by-play recaps of my experiences at both Rythmia and Soltara Healing Center, as well as a side-by-side comparison of these two incredible Costa Rican ayahuasca retreats: Episode 202: Welcome To The Jungle: My Ayahuasca Journey At Rythmia Part One Episode 203: Welcome To The Jungle: My Ayahuasca Journey At Rythmia Part Two Episode 262: Jungle Journeys: My Ayahuasca Awakening At Soltara (Part One) Episode 263: Jungle Journeys: My Ayahuasca Awakening At Soltara (Part Two) Episode 263.5: Rythmia & Soltara Side-By-Side Comparison: What is the Best Costa Rican Ayahuasca Retreat?   Connect with Luke on social media to learn how to take your lifestyle to the next level, plus catch exclusive live interviews & events: INSTAGRAM - @lukestorey // https://www.instagram.com/lukestorey/ FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/MrLukeStorey/ TWITTER - @MrLukeStorey // https://twitter.com/MRLUKESTOREY YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/c/LukeStorey HELP SUPPORT THIS SHOW!

It wasn’t planned this way, but I’m grateful to be able to release so many of my interviews from Attune Experience 2019 during this chaotic and stressful time. Not only are these fun conversations a nice distraction but their emphasis on spiritual transformation and inspiration is a message the world needs right now. And if you want to see what Attune is doing in 2020, head over to attuneexperience.com to learn more. Today’s high-vibe guest is probably going to be familiar to anyone from the LA or Bay areas: Ryland Engelhart, the co-owner of Café Gratitude and the Mission Fulfillment Officer of Love Serve Remember. The original Café Gratitude was a manifestation of a visionary concept — that food, gratitude, and love are the recipes for cultivating community and a reverence for the living world. One restaurant grew into seven throughout the Bay Area, and in 2011, Ryland and his brother brought Café Gratitude to Los Angeles. All of the restaurants are amazing, by the way, and serve 100% plant-based organic cuisine. Ryland’s life purpose is to be an expression of love in action — and you really do feel this when you eat at any of their locations — but now he’s trying to express that love on an even grander scale. Empowered with new research on regenerative agriculture's power to heal our planet, Ryland co-founded Kiss the Ground, an education and advocacy NGO working to transform our food system based in Venice, California. We talk all about why we need to change our worldwide farming practices VERY SOON, the transformative potential of regenerative farming, and what Kiss the Ground is doing to teach people more about the regenerative model. You’re going to have trouble not expressing some gratitude for our wonderful planet after this episode is over.   11:00 — The origins of Café Gratitude Ryland’s dad’s divorce The role of Landmark Forum The original raw food gaming parlor Inviting people into a new view of life The biggest difference between Café Gratitude and most restaurants (hint: it’s not the plant-based food)   22:18 — The “Clearing” process What’s your biggest concern in life right now? When your attention is on that story, that concern you’re thinking about, what emotions do you experience? What do you love about your life?   38:05 — Landmark Forum Does Ryland experience any blowback? What it was like at the Forum How the experience changed Ryland’s worldview Going beyond self-imposed limitations We’re wired to look for what’s wrong There’s always something to be grateful for   51:30 — What’s up with the Love Share Remember restaurants right now? The evolution has been crazy Helping to bring plant-based food into the mainstream   01:01:10 — The plant-based phenomenon & the pros/cons of including some animal products in your diet Luke didn’t realize that there were healthy meat options for a number of years A 100% vegetarian diet didn’t work with Luke’s body Starting a farm with animals as raw food vegans Seeing yourself, as a human being, as part of nature Changing our relationship with agriculture and animals The regenerative power of farming with animals In the last 40 years, we’ve destroyed 30% of farmable land on the planet The UN says there are only about 55 years left of farmable land if soil degradation continues Doing less harm What Kiss the Ground is doing to educate farmers on regenerative farming   02:04:03 — Where does Biodynamic Farming fit in the regenerative model? The father of Biodynamic Farming Regenerative farming certifications that are in the works   More about this episode.

There are three sides to every story: their side, your side, and the truth. So, no matter what you’re reading, watching, or listening to, I encourage you to always use your own heart, gut, and intuition to come to your own conclusions. My goal in this and every episode is just to present information that challenges the mainstream narrative that we’re being force-fed. That isn’t to say all information coming from the mainstream is incorrect or misleading, or that all people working within that paradigm have nefarious intentions, but you have to admit that there are some anomalies in the official story we’re being fed about COVID-19 and the coronavirus pandemic. So, Dr. Rashid A. Buttar joins me today to help us get to the root of these strange coincidences and see if we can uncover just a little bit of that ever-so-elusive truth. And you can learn even more about the research that Dr. Buttar has done on the subject at www.askdrbuttar.com/lukestorey.   11:40 — The cost of speaking out Speaking out to protect our children’s and our children’s children’s future We’re at a turning point for our society and species Dr. Buttar’s military background Sowing division and discontent 9/11, The Gulf War, and other times the government lied to us about at least part of the truth   26:21 — Dr. Buttar’s background Being trained to be a part of the traditional medical model and then realizing that so much of it doesn’t make sense Wanting to be a doctor, not a drug dealer The psychology of healing   36:15 — Dr. Buttar’s thoughts on COVID-19 Why Dr. Buttar started questioning the mainstream narrative on COVID-10 What happened with H1N1 There was an accident in Wuhan, and then opportunists capitalized on it Changing the standard for what we consider a COVID-19-related death and altering death certificates The flawed COVID-19 testing and widespread false positives Dr. Buttar’s live streams on the coronavirus — you can get them for free at www.askdrbuttar.com/lukestorey How many people who have died of COVID-19 had an adult vaccine? There should be a vaccine due to the way it was made How effortless it was to shut down the economy   56:00 — 5G and COVID-19 Are 5G or EMF radiation related to the pandemic? The hotbeds for the coronavirus are areas with a lot of 5G The reason for so many cases of COVID-19 in places where 5G has not been activated The 3 things that make you susceptible to COVID-19 EMFs and cancer Problems with the treatment process, if we were treating a viral infection Masking the problems created by the medical establishment with one-fourth truths Doctors and nurses reporting people being admitted with what looks like altitude sickness The conflicting personal accounts from healthcare workers and citizens who report widespread cases and full hospitals (while, at the same time, many report empty hospitals and few cases)   01:12:10 — Fauci’s shady background and why he might be compromised Dr. Ron Paul saying Dr. Fauci should be fired The tie between Fauci and Bill Gates   01:14:45 — How the vaccine for COVID-19 will create a real problem Is the end goal of this scenario widespread vaccinations? Can we really trust the CDC and the WHO? If not, why not? Why is the HHS the defendant if you file a lawsuit against vaccine manufacturers? Vaccines aren’t all bad, but our vaccine schedule doesn’t make sense   01:36:45 — Draconian tech censorship Misinformation on EMFs and 5G   01:45:30 — Toxicity everywhere Intentional toxins from vaccines Environmental toxins Radiation Doctors who don’t give their own children vaccines Fort Detrick   02:01:05 — Is it possible that COVID-19 is a bioweapon? Dr. Buttar doesn’t think it was intentional What happened in Wuhan was probably an accident, but the powers that be in the U.S. are capitalizing on it There are no cases in an area of West Virginia that has no cellular signals Why do U.S. leaders and the U.S. media now sound exactly like the communist Chinese leaders and media? How the mayor of LA has recently provided incentives for snitching There’s nothing to fear about COVID-19, but there is danger   02:14:10 — Draconian tech censorship Alex Jones An upcoming platform that will allow anyone to broadcast without censorship   More about this episode.

You are about to tune into what is probably the most meaningful conversation I’ve had on this show. My guest is rock-star shaman Alyson Charlies, who is revolutionizing the way ancient wisdom merges with the world we live in today, uniting both the wisdoms of Earth-Sky for modern times and the worlds of consciousness and media. Alyson also happens to be my best friend, my beloved partner, and my favorite person in the entire world. This episode starts as a pretty traditional interview about Alyson’s journey of suffering to surrender to service and what she’s doing today to bring meditation and sacred ritual to the mainstream — her Shamanic Spirit School Rock-Star REBOOT is an incredible tool for anyone who wants to reboot and upgrade their human experience, by the way, and you can use code ‘lifestylist’ for 10% off.  But it takes a turn into a conversation about the nature and origin of our relationship, detailing the experiences that led to our eventual union. This is your opportunity to be a fly on the wall for a no-holds-barred conversation between me and the person I’m in the most beautiful relationship of my life with. So, I’m really opening the kimono today, sharing the most intimate conversation I’ve ever committed to (virtual) tape. We had second thoughts and almost didn’t pull the trigger on this one, but ultimately decided that this is the most honest and authentic way we can share ourselves with the world. Our hope is that this episode provides at least one person with the tools and inspiration they need to improve the relationship they’re in or find a partner they’re aligned with. P.S. You can also join the two of us for another conversation this Friday (April 24, 2020) at 11:30 AM PST, where we will be presenting a live stream with Frequency Mind titled “Love And Shamanic Medicine: Birthing Your Greatest Life From The Void” and leading you all on a guided meditation and shamanic journey.   11:50 — What has happened since Alyson’s first appearance on the show in episode 111 Going from “brother” to “boyfriend” The moment we first connected, the sparks that flew, and how we chose to ignore them Our first “I love you” My experience as a romantic late bloomer Social media life Vs. real life   23:00 — The New Paradigm + Alyson’s path The new paradigm will be life from the heart The two different styles of leadership Modeling the journey to awakening Why I like to show my ass… figuratively speaking Being a teacher doesn’t mean you know any better How the rebel in Alyson has expressed itself in unhealthy ways   32:47 — Do you ever find yourself focusing too much on the things you still have to work on? Celebrating the hard work you’ve put in The best relationship advice that Luke ever received, although he didn’t realize it until many years later Why you should be wary of spiritual bypassing Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by David R. Hawkins Honoring resistance   47:46 — Working through and speaking about growth with a partner Observing your feelings with a partner No one else can make you feel anything The layers of healing Working through my relationship with dogs Coming together from a healed, whole place   01:06:25 — Thanking all the people who we were previously in a relationship with, all of our teachers Why Alyson took a long break from relationships and how she knew she was ready to explore again Five years of celibacy How Alyson learned how to have a healthy relationship by being alone The work of active listening The tools we apply to keep our hearts open What it was like the moment I broke out of “the friend zone” Our first date on New Year’s Eve at a Kundalini Yoga party What Alyson thought of our first kiss   01:40:10 — Plant medicines + Peyote Alyson’s experience with plant medicines  How Peyote was at the center of becoming an official couple The difference between plant medicines and recreational drugs Alyson’s shamanic traditions What Peyote tastes like Trusting my heart and intuition that it was okay to discard my safety net Entering into a relationship with our third eyes touching Is Peyote calling to you?

This week we have a double dose of inspiration and good vibes because our guests are Sukhdev and Akahdahmah, who make up not only the dynamic musical duo Aykanna but also one of the most loving and supportive couples I’ve ever witnessed. Sukhdev and Akahdahmah passionately share a joint vision to express freedom, unity, peace, and love through sacred music, quantum healing, and Kundalini Yoga. Their love for one another, as well as our mother earth, is infectious, and spreads through their music and teachings — and most certainly through this conversation. Getting the opportunity to meet these two was one of the highlights of my trip to Attune last year, which is one of the most diverse and thoughtfully curated events of the year. I don’t know what that event will look like in 2020 right now, but I do know we’re going to need the transformational resources and community that Attune provides every year.

You are about to swallow a giant red pill, my friend — but, first, I want to express my sincere condolences to anyone who has been negatively affected by the situation, whether through illness, financial hardships, loss of life, or loss of your former lifestyle. I also released a full episode all about my thoughts and a spiritual perspective on this hardship last week, so go back and check out episode 270. (It ends on a positive note, I promise!). This week, however, we’re digging into the possible connection between the coronavirus and 5G. This is a question that was first brought to my attention by Dr. Thomas Cowan in a couple of YouTube videos, which may or may not still be viewable thanks to the rampant big tech censorship going on right now. Then, if you try using that ubiquitous search engine to learn more, you’ll see results from the MSM going out of their way to discredit Dr. Cowan and mischaracterizing what he said. But why are they working so hard to silence this point of view? Who gains from trying to squash anyone who’s just asking questions, and what’s wrong with asking these questions in the first place? If this hypothesis is just flat out wrong and doesn’t include any medical advice at all, why does it need to be removed from every corner of YouTube and censored? So, as these questions were swirling around my head, I just had to go straight to the source and Dr. Cowan on a call. I’ve actually been a fan of Dr. Cowan and the powders he makes at Dr. Cowan’s Garden for a long time now, and I’ve been looking for a good reason to bring him onto the show — and I don’t think we’re going to get a better reason than this any time soon. 07:00 — The videos that made me start doing research Note that some of the videos I originally watched have already been removed and these videos may have been removed by the time you’re seeing this. Watch: Dr Thomas Cowen MD Interview: 5G Health Effects, COVID 19, False Positives, What Viruses Really Are Watch: The Coronavirus Conspiracy: How COVID-19 Will Seize Your Rights & Destroy Our Economy - David Icke   18:53 — Dr. Cowan is no stranger to controversy Human Heart, Cosmic Heart - the book where Dr. Cowan questions the assumption that the heart pumps blood through the body How do we know a new disease is actually caused by a virus?   28:30 — Our current situation: what happened in Wuhan? How we would normally study and identify a new virus Vs. what happened in Wuhan Read: Virus Mania: How the Medical Industry Continually Invents Epidemics, Making Billion-Dollar Profits At Our Expense How widespread viral misinformation goes back to Polio How the test we are using to test for the coronavirus works Why our diagnosis methodology is extremely flawed   53:37 — The propaganda of a pandemic Debunking the proof that we’ve been sold What is a virus? Are these the symptoms of a virus or a poison?

All health begins in the gut, even your mental health, so today we’re learning about how to get our guts right from two of the biggest experts on gut health in the world: Wade Lightheart and Matt Gallant from BiOptimizers, an organization dedicated to helping humans shift from a sick unhealthy condition into a peak biologically optimized state. Wade and Matt define Biologically Optimized Health as a state of existence where all of the body’s functions operate in perfect harmony. But before you start replacing the tires and tuning things to perfection, you need to make sure that your engine, your gut, isn’t about to crap out. To help you figure out how to do that, these two provide a quick and dirty overview of our digestive systems and the underappreciated role of enzymes in them. Then we go over the results of my recent gut biome labs... and I get some, frankly, shocking truths about my current situation. But I also get some great advice for how to fix it, as well as some idea of why things broke bad in my gut biome the first place, and I hope this helps you get your own health back on the right track. If you’re interested in focusing on your gut health after listening to this episode — and given the current state of the world, there’s never been a better time to focus on maintaining your health and your immune system — you can use the code LUKE20 to get 20% off any of the supplements at bioptimizers.com/luke.   11:00 — The origins of BiOptimizers Competing as Mr. Universe, on a plant-based diet and without drugs How bodybuilding wrecked the inside of Wade’s body “You learned to build your body from the outside in.

Our ability to choose how to react to the world around us is a direct reflection of our cognitive health — and in these uncertain times, it has never been more important to stay mentally fit. So I wanted to share this episode with Dr. David Perlmutter and Dr. Austin Perlmutter, a father-son duo who combined their neurology and internal medicine expertise to write Brain Wash: Detox Your Mind for Clearer Thinking, Deeper Relationships, and Lasting Happiness. This new book exposes how our health, our relationships, and even our thinking have been damaged by modern culture and offers a practical plan for healing. And in this episode, the doctors have a ton of additional lifestyle, diet, and mindset recommendations to help you keep your head right. These dudes are incredibly smart, but they’re also just really cool, down to earth people who bring a huge amount of empathy and love to this conversation — and after listening, you’ll know exactly why that empathy is so critical for both our individual health and society as a whole.   09:00 — What inspired David and Austin to write a book together? Austin saw patients were struggling to followthrough on recommended lifestyle changes; patients were getting the information on how to live healthier, but it wasn’t sticking They decided people need to know how to make better decisions for their health and happiness outcomes They focused not on what decisions you should be making, but the decision-making process itself The prefrontal cortex’s role in decision-making The more we make crappy decisions, the worse our ability to make good decisions becomes Zenbunni Biodynamic Coffee   14:20 — David’s previous book, Grain Brain, and the myths it dispels about our diets Debunking the low-fat scam — a scam propagated by the sugar industry How this contributed to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases The aggressive efforts being made to influence our mindset and choices We’re not fat because we overeat, we overeat because we’re fat More than 60% of the foods in the grocery store have added sweeteners Why sugar is so bad for your brain How a high-carb, high-sugar diet negatively impacts your mood How diet influences our decision-making   27:55 — Our dietary choices should be based around one core unifying idea: what can we do to lower inflammation in our body? The nuances of what fats are good or bad for us More processed foods cause more inflammation How our diet compounds emotional trauma and limbic system loops What is inflammation and how does it affect our brain? How inflammation from any cause affects our mood Providing a bridge between information and action   37:33 — The core message of Brain Wash: we need to cultivate empathy Are there any good sweeteners? How companies are taking advantage of our desire for sugar and our desire to be in a tribe Why going on social media is opting to be socially manipulated How we become addicted to our devices and how to break free from those addictions Narcissism Vs. Empathy How narcissism affects your health Why your prefrontal cortex is so important   52:53 — How inflammation affects the brain How our understanding of inflammation and the brain has evolved rapidly over the last few decades How depression relates to inflammation How inflammation affects our decision-making and what we can learn from that Inflammation and brain fog Dr. Kelly Brogan and the global mismanagement of depression   01:05:49 — When it comes to things like depression, how much of it is being caused by inflammation vs. trauma? Trauma seems to hurt the connection between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala “Stress signalling pathways that impair prefrontal cortex structure and function” The best quick fix to break free from a fight or flight nervous system response Helping people manage unnecessary stress over time Luckily, we can nurture and repair the connections in our brain using empathy and gratitude   01:11:22 — What we can do to start training our brain after we reduce inflammation Dr. Daniel Amen The simple recipe for most people: enhance your neuroplasticity through physical exercise and then do good things!
