The Life Stylist

Tina Anderson first joined the show back in episode 224, when she shared the story of working in the pharmaceutical industry and then leaving after she got too fed up with their abusive practices. She dedicated herself to actually helping people improve their health, and what she found was that the market needed a great probiotic. This was the beginning of Just Thrive. Today, Tina returns with her partner in crime, microbiologist Kiran Krishnan.

David & Austin Perlmutter

Hello, cosmic cowboys and cowgirls. Are you ready to venture inwards? Because we have a fantastic new episode with Dr. David Rabin, a board-certified psychiatrist and translational neuroscientist who co-founded Apollo Neuroscience and one of the vanguards leading the revolution of wellness. Dr. Rabin co-invented the Apollo, the first scientifically-validated wearable system to improve HRV, focus, sleep, and access to meditative states by delivering gentle layered vibrations to the skin. It sounds pretty crazy, but I use it pretty much every day and the results are remarkable. And in this episode, you’ll learn all about the science behind why it works. If you want to try out an Apollo after listening to this episode, you can use code LUKE15 for 15% off at apolloneuro.com. But that’s not all. Dr. Rabin is also helping to organize the world’s largest controlled study of psychedelic medicines, and we really get into how psychedelic therapies can help treat things like addiction, trauma, and a variety of mental illnesses. This is a glimpse at a new paradigm of psychiatric care that is safer, more effective, and longer-lasting than our current pharmaceutical-driven system.  As someone who’s had a lot of experience with these issues in the past, and as someone who has had a lot of success healing with some of the modalities that Dr. Rabin brings to light, it brings me extreme pleasure to be able to share this information with all of you.   07:10 — Dr. Rabin’s exploration of what it means to be alive today, what it means to be well, and how he’s helping others achieve that ideal Taking a step back, as a doctor, to examine how well the treatment options available are working Why Dr. Rabin first became interested in treatment-resistant PTSD,  depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders My personal experience with psychiatric medicine   15:45 — The clinical use of psychedelics Psychedelic means “mind manifesting” When we talk about mental illness, we’re talking about patterns of behavior that we develop to cope with trauma or stress over time Looking at the brain on psychedelics using fMRI Luke’s experience with addiction Disrupting the neural pathways of addiction How shame and trauma lead us into addiction   33:20 — Getting to the root causes of addiction Getting sober isn’t the thing that’s going to make you happy, which is hard to deal with when you first get sober Hope is the most powerful medicine, although we give it a lot of different names We need a radically accepting and radically nonjudgemental clinical environment Human beings are the most adaptable creatures on this planet (that we’re aware of) The Four Pillars Using gratitude as a tool   56:05 — Using the Apollo We’re both using the “social and open” setting during this interview What it’s like to wear one of these devices There’s a lot of misinformation in the wearable device space Most of the things I try don’t actually seem to do anything How Apollo works My “junk drawer” for tech Tips for stress during this time   More about this episode.

This is a bonus rebroadcast episode of my guest appearance on The Thought Room with Hallie Rose, which was recorded at Soltara in Costa Rica at the end of a week-long ayahuasca retreat.  We discuss the profound spiritual healing and awakenings I experienced during the four ceremonies that week, and it’s honestly one of the most vulnerable and intimate conversations I’ve had on mic. While it's a bit nerve racking to publish it, I felt that it might be helpful to listeners who are working to overcome similar challenges of life and spiritual growth.

The last time Mama Medicine (AKA Deborah Hanekamp) joined the show, I had a serious out-of-body experience. It was madness. This mama has some serious power. (If you want an idea of what I’m talking about, you can use code LUKE20 for $20 off a medicine reading any time in 2020 at www.mamamedicine.com/medicinereadings.) So, of course, I had to bring Deborah back on, although we’re talking about a very different subject — ritual baths. I’m not exactly playing pickup football at the park every weekend, but I like to think of myself as a pretty masculine dude. I definitely never thought of myself as the kind of person who would sink into a bath adorned with flower petals.  But after reading Deborah’s new book — "Ritual Baths: Be Your Own Healer" — I really started to look at my bathtub with a new perspective. I always thought of showers and baths as more of a utilitarian thing: I get clean and kickstart my nervous system with a quick cold shower. I was so focused on staying clean and stacking biohacks that I never really stopped to consider the spiritual benefits of a well-planned bath. Honestly, I never would have guessed there was so much I didn’t know about baths! But now that I know, I’m excited to add another easy #spirithack for inner peace and spiritual wellness to my repertoire.   10:25 — Why write a book on Ritual Baths? Baths are a really comprehensive way to be your own healer The feeling of cleansing you get after a bath goes deeper than just your physical body How approaching it with intention turns your bath into a ritual Why Deborah started recommending baths after medicine readings 15 years ago The historical relevance of ritual baths Why I love natural water and when I almost created a water-focused brand Giving yourself a womb-like experience submerged in the water   22:35 — What it looks like when you start a bath with an intention The “I Am Nature” bath What a medicine reading is like (use code LUKE20 for $20 off a medicine reading at www.mamamedicine.com/medicinereadings) Becoming your own healer   30:25 — How a healer is different from a guru or savior The issue of disempowerment, especially in spiritual communities When Deborah gave her power away and what she learned from that experience Creating Mama Medicine as something empowering “We all have access to the divine because we all have love.” Spiritual work is more often ordinary than extraordinary Why Deborah doesn’t consider remote medicine readings to be any different from in-person ones The space-time illusion   44:00 — The role plant medicines have played in Deborah’s journey and how they just might save humanity from destruction Deborah is still integrating what she learned after years with Mother Ayahuasca Why Deborah now doesn’t take any conscious-altering substances How all of the water on the planet is connected to   57:05 — The ultimate guide to water filters Most municipal water is extremely toxic! The simplest options for someone who is renting or doesn’t want to spend too much are these Pure Water Freedom Bath Filters Vitamin C tabs for dechlorination Bentonite Clay - ¼ cup of clay added to bath water helps with detox.  Aquasana Rhino Whole House Filter System Clean Water Machine Shower Head Filters The ultimate Ophora system - mention Luke’s name on the phone when you call “The Hidden Messages in Water” by Masaru Emoto “The Healing Power of Water” by Masaru Emoto We can’t let our energy get contaminated by fear   01:17:00 — The importance of meditation & how anyone can make it a habit if they truly have the desire It’s a constantly evolving practice How Deborah prays and keeps her connection to spirit alive   More about this episode.

If you’re a discerning health enthusiast like myself, you’ve probably sat and scratched your head at the health food store trying to figure out which CBD product you should buy. They all make big claims, they all say they’re the best, but what actually works? Well, I just found a brand that I’m super stoked about, and I want to share it with you: ONDA offers a patented and truly full-spectrum line of products that aren’t dependent on the use of alcohol, CO2, or other solvents for extraction – and this is important because when you’re getting the medicine out of the plant, you don’t want to add poisons to it! You can try it for yourself and get 15% off using code LUKE15 at ondawellness.com.   AND…   BIOPTIMIZERS. Starting in the 80’s, supplement companies began pushing massive protein consumption. We all believed that “more protein = more muscle growth.” But I’m here to tell you that IT’S A BIG FAT LIE. It doesn’t matter if you’re consuming 30 or 300 grams of protein — if you don’t have a sufficient supply of enzymes to digest protein, your muscles will be starving for those vital building blocks. That’s why it’s crucial you take a high-quality enzyme. The one I trust (and use myself) is called MassZymes by BiOptimizers, a full-spectrum enzyme formula with more protease than any other commercially available. Plus, it contains all the other key enzymes you need for optimal digestion. And you can try it today, risk-free. Their 365 day FULL money back guarantee is the gold standard in the industry.

We’ve had some pretty heavy episodes lately, but this week we’re keeping it chill. And how can we get more chill than a conversation with international big wave explorer Garrett McNamara (and his adorable daughter)? Garrett has done some insane stuff in his days, much of which is documented in his wild memoir "Hound of the Sea: Wild Man. Wild Waves. Wild Wisdom." We’re talking about things like surfing Tsunami waves generated by caving glaciers in Alaska, getting smashed by a 50-foot wave at Mavericks, and breaking the world record for surfing the largest wave in Nazaré, Portugal. We also get into the fear of death that you feel facing these monstrous waves and how Garrett got over it, his top biohacks for healing and recovery, and when to rely on Western medicine versus Eastern healing philosophies. This episode is a whole lot of fun, with some absolutely wild stories, but there are also some great lessons to learn about maintaining your body and health. I mean, this dude was competing at the highest level of big wave surfing in his 50s with kids half his age, so I’m taking notes.   08:30 — Garrett’s upcoming documentary The documentary will cover surfers who have experienced injuries and were told not to go back to big wave surfing   12:05 — Garrett’s rough childhood and how that contributed to his determination to succeed He had to work for everything Developing an unwavering focus on achieving something great His experience with drugs   15:00 — Surfing tsunami waves created by a caving glacier The goal: surfing a wave created by a force other than a low-pressure system Possibly the craziest and dumbest thing Garrett’s done?   19:15 — Facing the fear of death (and getting over it) The process of mastering fear A short glossary of need-to-know surf terms Naming his kid “Barrel”   26:00 — What it was like riding the 78-foot wave in Nazaré Garrett thinks there have been bigger waves ridden since then He wasn’t even planning to surf that day He was actually really frustrated on the wave at first How do they measure big waves? It’s surprisingly controversial What’s it like being put on a pedestal within your field? "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Pocketbook Guide to Fulfilling Your Dreams" by Deepak Chopra The impact of drug legalization in Portugal   36:40 — The history of surfing and the first humans on record to do it It started in Hawaii as the sport of kings, and only kings could surf   37:50 — His deep relationship with the sea and why he connects so profoundly with the water Surfing was a long-time passion, becoming a pro was a fluke Garrett is actually allergic to saltwater McNamara means Hound of the Sea   41:15 — The epic tale of getting smashed by a 50-foot wave at Mavericks Being out in the deep water without a board Due to modern safety equipment, most wipeouts have been pretty fun, but this one was different How does water break bones? The best yoga that Garrett has experienced "Fierce Medicine: Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit" by Ana T. Forrest   47:00 — Garrett’s relationship with pain and how he gets through it When to rely on Western medicine Vs.

Are you ready to enter the vortex and escape The Matrix in this week’s episode, a fascinating, inspiring, and sometimes shocking journey with David “Avocado” Wolfe? Over the last few years, I’ve watched as tech giants whittle away at our ability to share our opinions and the truth — and David experienced that authoritarianism firsthand. He was one of the first people in the health and wellness space that I really saw getting targeted, so he’s also been working on ways to share his message without relying on these platforms for longer than almost anyone in the space.  And it’s a good thing, too, because we desperately need people who are willing and able to think critically, do some research, and then share with everyone else what the greater medical establishment and mainstream media are seemingly unwilling to talk about or actively covering up. This week’s episode is all about the dangers of Big Tech censorship, how we can stop relying on big tech companies to stay connected with our communities, the increasing medical tyranny being imposed upon our world right now, and — most importantly — how to stay positive, optimistic, blissed-out, and affect change for the better even in the most challenging times.  David also busts some misconceptions about viruses and shares how we can use Coated Silver, combined with a huge helping of medicinal mushrooms, to protect our bodies against viral infections, especially during this time. You can use the code LUKE2020 for 10% off Coated Silver and anything else at shop.davidwolfe.com. My hope is that, after listening, you will put on your critical thinking hat, keep an open mind, and do your own research to come to a deeper understanding of the current events that we cover in this episode. 09:20 — David’s journey with Big Tech censorship,  how he built a 12M person following on Facebook, and how he’s trying to find ways to circumvent the major platforms to get his message out uncensored Cracking the Facebook code Why there was a concerted effort to reduce David’s reach and how they accomplished that The dogma of scientism What are people so afraid of? Not all scientists are bad The unscientific nature of scientism The cognitive dissonance of the followers of scientism 26:05 — The Great Awakening Are thoughtful use of plant medicines and psychedelics a natural reaction to the feeling of being controlled and lied to? Why David grows his own plant medicines and what he gets out of that experience How plant medicines can transform human consciousness We live in a realm of spirit and soul, not materialism Hate culture: hating people who hate people Trump promised to move away from the establishment but he’s sold himself to them just as much as any other Republican or Democrat The return of clinical psychedelics Why David thinks others should grow their own plant medicines Sacred medicines command respect, not addiction   57:30 — What are the most censored topics on social media? Vaccines are #1 Twitter is the worst The current crisis and the medical tyranny being played out by Big Pharma and the worldwide medical establishment The medical scientism model is not the right model for treating inflammatory diseases, age-related diseases, or viral and infectious diseases   01:05:05 — Wrapping my head around the truth about the coronavirus I don’t know the truth about the coronavirus but I know I’m being lied to The interactions between bacteria and viruses & why the coronavirus couldn’t kill people on its own Medical science still doesn’t understand that much about the human microbiome Due to the way this virus works, they’re not going to be able to develop an effective vaccine The misinformation being circulated about viruses Figuring out what the contagion actually is Why are people so obsessed with injections?   01:17:30 — How to boost your immune system and protect yourself from this or any virus David’s prescription for boosting your immunity and protecting yourself from the contagion: 10 drops of Coated Silver + a massive amount of medicinal mushrooms  Use code LUKE2020 for 10% off Coated Silver Four Sigmatic Real Mushrooms Life Cykel We already figured out how to treat infections diseases more effectively with ozone, and the effectiveness is increased when combined with things like Coated Silver Colloidal Silver vs Coated Silver The sacredness of silver People can be helped in hospitals, but they’re not being helped right now   01:31:45 — The EMF nightmare Recent interviews with Dr. Thomas Cowan and Dr. Buttar What’s up with the tests? How the mainstream media likes to belittle EMF concerns by mischaracterizing protests against 5G Why the new 5G antennas are more concerning than older cellular technologies A history of illness near the testing of new EMF technologies The obviousness of chemtrails and geoengineering Why so many still feel cognitive dissonance around this hard-to-face fact   01:56:20 — How to stay positive, optimistic, blissed-out, and affect change for the better (even in the most challenging times) Maintaining joy in the face of deception Our soul’s journey If this was easy, there would be no point in human incarnation Have the best day ever   More about this episode.

No brain left behind — that’s the mission of today’s guest, Jim Kwik, the author of Limitless - Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, Unlock Your Exceptional Life and the founder of Kwik Learning. After experiencing a brain injury when he was only five, Jim struggled through school, dubbed “the boy with the broken brain.” So, Jim is well aware of how much untapped cognitive potential we all have, even those of us who have been told that we’re cognitively deficient in some way or were abandoned by the traditional educational system. But there are very few of us living up to our brain’s full potential. The sad truth is that most of us were not taught the best ways to learn, were not taught habits that contribute to our cognitive development, and are constantly exposed to environmental factors that further erode our ability to learn, remember, and focus. However, there is a silver lining: it’s not too late!  An old dog can, in fact, learn new tricks. And, in this episode, Jim is going to share the fantastic framework for learning and improving brain function that he’s developed over years of research and experimentation. 08:45 — Jim’s new book, Limitless - Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, Unlock Your Exceptional Life Limitless is not about being perfect — it’s about progressing beyond what you currently believe is possible The three-part limitless model, a framework for unlocking human potential Ending the trance that we’ve been put in Information without application is useless   22:00 — How to stop self-limiting language and negative self-talk from interfering with your life and goals How we end up using limiting language and creating limiting beliefs The three invisible forces that keep you in your self-limiting box Jim walks Luke through some of his own limiting beliefs Mindfulness is a muscle that you can train Getting comfortable being uncomfortable Misconceptions about motivation The motivation formula The lies we were told about reading How we can break negative patterns and create positive ones   01:08:10 — How devices ruin our ability to focus (and how you can fix it) We’re never taught how to study How phones are ruining the youngest generations’ focus and memory We’re taught how to learn and what to learn, but now how to think   01:18:55 — How Limitless will give you your power back Why Jim felt the need to release his book during the pandemic, while everyone is being disrupted and finding it harder to focus How Jim practiced what he preached when writing his book After you order Limitless, make sure you get your free 10-day Kwik Start Course Limitless for kids and teens How did Jim learn how to write a book?   01:29:20 — Cocooning in self-isolation, lockdown, and/or quarantine How you can grow during this time How Jim remains positive in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic Upleveling your skills The struggle the caterpillar goes through to break out of its cocoon is what gives it the strength to fly More about this episode.

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!
