The Life Stylist

Welcome to my birthday show! I was born on this day, October 29th, 1970. That makes me a Scorpio, and also so grateful to take my 49th trip around the sun. Today's show is a live recording of a talk I recently gave in London at the Health Optimisation Summit, a two-day immersive experience where attendees discover the tools, hacks, technologies, and techniques to optimize their health for life. I was honored to be one of the speakers as well as the MC at their premiere event, and I’m excited to be part of this community as it continues to grow and change the world. My lecture was around something I call Practical Spirituality, which is about discovering and applying underlying fundamental metaphysical truths that are freely available to everyone, and that have the power to truly transform your life.  As any listener of this show knows, I'm deeply committed to physical health and natural healing, but after over twenty-two years of hardcore self-improvement research and development, I'm more convinced than ever that most of the answers we seek are to be found on our own consciousness, and by exploring a spiritual way of life.  So, today, we’re going to do some of that inner work, focusing on simple and practical tips that anyone can put into action right now. Enjoy the show!   If you’re interested in following along with my slide deck and receiving a list of resources mentioned in this episode, text LONDON to 44222 (on a U.S. phone) or visit lukestorey.com/london.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: An exploration of metaphysics, the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things How we can apply spiritual principles — AKA universal truths — to transform our lives The need for self-inquiry and self-honesty Health is an inside job ONE thing that will almost certainly make you happier Words lead the way, but they aren’t the way G.O.D. — Good Orderly Direction The underly universal truth of belief The anatomy of my spiritual awakening The price of humility: desire, and desperation? Who’s breathing you? Who’s breathing your heart? Making your life a prayer through conscious awareness The metaphysical nature of human existence How to make meditation your medication Unlearning Vs. Learning Your ego is your amigo — so don’t ignore it entirely Breaking the ties that bind you: intellectual pride, spiritual pride, addictions, judgement, and compulsive negativity Tools for becoming free The collective power of consciousness Hiring yourself as your life manager & partnering with universal truth   More about this episode.

A few years ago, I heard about some people drinking this new coffee loaded with butter, and I thought it was one of the craziest health fads ever. How could loading up on cholesterol and caffeine be good for you? But then I did a little research, ordered some coffee, and my life was forever changed. The coffee, of course, was Bulletproof, and this high-fat diet business is clearly a lot more than a fad. And after investing more than $1M over a twenty-year single-minded crusade to upgrade the human being using every available technology, Dave Asprey, the man behind the coffee, is still asking himself the same question: What are the simplest, most effective ways you can be better at everything you do as a human being? And, lately, Dave’s been finding answers to this question by turning inward. So, today, Dave Asprey is going to share what he’s learned about the inner work of biohacking; what you can do to upgrade not just your body, but your mind and very existence. Are you ready to start living better?   Topics Discussed In This Episode: How the exercise industry has made exercise more and more confusing — and what we can learn by looking at the history of exercise Overcoming biohacking obsessions to focus on your core intention How to know if you’re suffering from mold exposure, a condition that affects far more people than are aware of it What biohackers should know about their cellular-level placebo response The evolution of 40 Years of Zen & biohacking with neurofeedback How anyone can change their mindset and the way they experience life by doing deep, personal work — and the data to show it works What you can do to double, even triple, the duration of your deep sleep What we can learn from taking a systems approach to aging The bulletproof plan to age backward (and maybe even live forever) The four things that are most likely to kill you Why “dirty keto” doesn’t work Maintaining the seven pillars of aging in your body What vegans will love in Dave’s new book Why corn-fed beef shouldn’t even be considered food   More about this episode.

Today, it’s just me, Cookie, and a microphone — that’s right, community Q&A is back! A few weeks ago, I answered some questions asked by the badass biohackers and soul searchers in The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group. Due to popular demand, and the fact that I love sitting down with all of the listener questions, we’re going to make this a regular thing moving forward. I’m stoked.  If you want to have some of your questions answered, come and join the tribe in our FB group. Not only is it likely that I will answer your questions in a future episode, but there are many other extremely experienced biohackers, forward thinkers, and spiritual seekers in the group who might be able to answer your questions even better than I can.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Be your own guru — I just want to share the signposts as we traverse this trail to health and happiness together Who are the most influential guests that Luke has interviewed & what impact have they had on his life? The most important things I’ve learned about sex, communication, and relationships (& how these lessons have saved my ass) Why Luke doesn’t have a vision board — he has a vision book The transformative power of undoing your limiting beliefs & how you can start It’s not wrong to be spiritual and make money How human beings have nurtured and cultivated our diseases over time & how you can minimize the damage caused by our self-afflicted domestication (without becoming a hermit) How Luke felt when he was on the Carnivore Diet, why he stopped, and why you might still want to check it out The science of Ozone therapy and its incredible potential for alternative therapy treatments Why sleeping on a metal coil mattress is absolutely insane The ruthless, misinformation-filled campaigns of the sauna and mattress industries What I use to upgrade my bedroom for optimal sleep   More about this episode.   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   THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: FOUR SIGMATIC.

I don’t do a lot of shows about fitness because as important as I think it is, it’s just not been something I’ve ever enjoyed. So I do it because it makes me feel good, not because I like it.  Luckily, it’s been getting exponentially easier for me to get into fitness (or just get my exercise over with and on with my day, at least) because there are some incredible innovations being made in fitness technology. And when I find a new routine or piece of tech that’s affordable, effective, and safe, I like to share it with everyone I know. I mean, who doesn’t want to get all of the benefits of being a person who exercises without spending hours every week in the gym? That’s why today’s episode is all about the CAR.O.L, an exercise bike that provides the same cardio benefits of a 45-minute jog in under 9 minutes — with only 40 seconds of hard work — by leveraging both what science knows about how the human body evolved and A.I.-powered algorithms that dynamically optimize your resistance so you hit max intensity levels and max glycogen depletion every time. This is the kind of biohacking tech that can really change people’s lives. I know it’s already transformed my fitness routine. But you don’t have to take my word for it because CAR.O.L has been independently proven by the American Council on Exercise to go above and beyond the government exercise guidelines. Still sound like magic? Try it yourself. You can get $150 off your own CAR.O.L by using code LUKE at carolfitai.com.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: How the consumer market has been lied to about HIIT & cardio exercise What true HIIT exercise looks like & why it needs to be personalized to each individual This isn’t “bro science” — this is making fitness accessible to the majority of us who don’t exercise enough right now The healthcare system is in shambles now and it’s going to be absolutely crippled over the next few years, so we have to take responsibility for our own health now How we have evolved over time and how we can continue to evolve by using technology How the classic gym subscription model and fitness industry incentivizes ineffective workouts Some people will see tremendous results from true HIIT, while most will see good results and some others will only see marginal results — and there’s only one way to know which group you fall in before you start working out The single most important indicator of your future health Why combining fat and sugar is bad for us (plus the only natural substance on Earth that contains both) How you can change your body’s ability to burn fat, for better or for worse A case study of Ulrich’s personal experience with CAR.O.L Why is it called CAR.O.L?

You are a being of light, literally and biophysically.  Your cells emit biophotons, or ultra-weak ultraviolet light, which then trigger the process of mitosis. So the thing that we’re told causes skin cancer is the same thing that our cells are using to signal cell division, a foundational piece of biological function. Our guest, Matt Maruca, is fascinated by seeming contradictions like this — when what we’re told by the leading authorities seems to contradict logic and common sense — and then he starts asking questions. Matt’s investigation of light led him to founding Ra Optics, makers of the world's finest blue light blocking glasses, and creating The Light Diet, a diet that directly addresses the root of the modern chronic disease epidemic and mitochondrial dysfunction. But he’s not done yet, and today, we invite you to start asking some questions, too. We need to start getting intentional about the light in our homes, in our workplaces, in our children’s schools, and in our cities — and we need to start doing something soon. Because the battle between sunlight and junk light just might be the battle that decides the health of future generations. This isn’t just for you. This is for your mitochondria, your children, and your children’s children.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Why you’re probably ejactulating too much & how ejaculation is diminishing the pleasure of your orgasms How Matt’s first appearance on this show changed the trajectory of his life The energy meditation practice that can help you cultivate your inner light Your body is a being of light — and there’s science to prove it How blue light debilitates your mitochondria There are three million people who in the U.S. who die every year to chronic diseases — and none of them need to, but we aren’t addressing the right problems Do hereditary diseases really exist? The missing link between chronic diseases, the epidemic of depression, and mass shootings How and when to eat if you want to lose weight (and why the way you’re eating now is probably causing you to gain weight) Junk food doesn’t make you fat (by itself) — junk light does Why Luke is eating a butter stick during this interview How artificial light is absorbed into every part of your body, not just your eyes, and what you can do to prevent it How we are destroying a generation’s physical development through smartphones and tablets Have an indoor lifestyle? Get ready for an indoor hospital Why windows are bad There IS such a thing as too much sun, but it’s pretty difficult to do — while most of us don’t get enough sun and are suffering for it Why you maybe shouldn’t have a kid if you don’t have a sex drive What The Light Diet is & how you can start integrating it into your life How to hack your morning routine to make The Light Diet easier Blue blocking software is great and you should definitely use it — but no software can eliminate all of the blue light from your screens How to make sure your food and water are supporting your health   More about this episode.

Over the past 232 episodes, I’ve been your host and guide through the worlds of biohacking, spirituality, and personal development, asking some of the most profound and cutting-edge thought leaders out there what makes them tick — but, today, we’re flipping the tables. Because past guest (and next week’s guest) Matt Maruca invited me to Rick Rubin’s world-famous Shangri-La studios, a recording studio used by the likes of Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Pete Townshend, Joe Cocker, Billy Preston, Ronnie Wood, Weezer, Metallica, and Kings of Leon. It was an honor to record at these same mics, a brief but welcome return to my rockin’ roots. Matt invited me here to ask me some questions about my past, my trauma, my healing, and my future. I’ve talked about a lot of this before, but I’ve been looking at my life, and the experience of life in general, differently over the past few months; I have more awareness and presence than I had even just a year ago, and I’m still learning new things about myself and the world every day. So, today, I invite you into my life, into my mind, to learn what makes The Lifestylist tick. Topics Discussed In This Episode: Tetragrammaton: a four-letter sacred symbol; a way of saying God without saying God, as used in the Old Testament Becoming a child drug addict and then teenage rockstar during a dark period of Hollywood How drugs quite possibly saved my life — and how the process of overcoming drug addiction lead to The Lifestylist Going from simulating life to experiencing life Why I feel more high now, sober, than at any other point in my life There are no mistakes on the road to self-mastery — only lessons and teachers Escaping the physical symptoms of poor health and wellness Your trauma is valid Why I’ve been celibate for more than a year Who’s the one watching your thoughts? Why we may not need to eat vegetables No one wants to look like shit The art and energy behind fashion Podcasting as a personal growth vehicle   More about this episode.   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   THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: JOOVV.

Dr. Mark Atkinson wants you to acknowledge that life has gifted you with a body and mind for the duration of your time here on this rock hurtling through space. And how do you honor and show gratitude for a gift that you appreciate? You take care of it! A lot of the growing biohacking and self-development communities tend to focus on taking care of the physical body, but that’s just our vehicle through the human experience — it’s critically important that we also take care of our mental, emotional, and spiritual health. That’s why Dr. Atkinson, founder of the Human Potential Institute, travels around the world teaching the world’s top performers how to manage and optimize their mind, wellbeing, and effectiveness through psychological fitness training. Today, Dr. Atkinson will teach you how to start a psychological fitness practice, working with your body and mind in a way that allows you to serve life and for life to creatively move through your cells. It all starts by tuning up your body-mind vehicle, but real progress and development only comes when you delve into the psychological, the spiritual, or what Dr. Atkinson simply calls life.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Psychological fitness is a way of being in the world in which you’re present, open, aware, engaging in reality, and doing what matters Why CEOs, executives, and elite athletes turn to Dr. Atkinson to learn what he knows about psychological fitness training and personal development Curiosity may not be great for cats, but it’s a transformative perspective for human beings to use when approaching life A plant medicine experience that changed the course of Dr. Atkinson’s life Spirituality likes to vilify the ego, but Dr. Atkinson teaches us why we actually need to work with it to achieve greater awareness and presence You have thoughts — but that’s not who you are How you can get everything you need to overcome life’s challenges, no hacks required The critical difference between spiritual transcendence and spiritual bypassing Learning to change the channel of your awareness Evolving from Victim Consciousness to Victor Consciousness Is there a way to prevent the deep suffering caused by childhood trauma? What happens when we refuse to turn towards the what we are experiencing and engage life The trap of getting stuck focusing solely on physical health The purpose of community How we’re losing our children and societal structure A roadmap towards realizing your potential When you’re doing anything, ask yourself: am I doing this consciously or compulsively?   More about this episode.

Today’s episode probably never would have happened if it weren’t for a car accident that occurred during my trip to Rythmia in Costa Rica — a moment of serendipity and synchronicity that I am, looking back, grateful for. Because that shared experience started my conversation with Alix Goldsmith Marcaccini, who runs Cuixmala, which is both one of the most beautiful and ecologically sustainable vacation destinations on the planet. Cuixmala — which means “the soul’s resting place” — is an oasis in the center of the 30,000 acre Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve. Here, the line between luxury and nature dissolves. The estate was originally built by Alix’s father, Sir James Goldsmith, an influential British businessman who became disillusioned with corporate life and dedicated himself to ecology. And environmentalism is still at the heart of Cuixmala today. A sprawling biodynamic farm provides 90% of everything served on the estate, while wild animals are protected and roam freely. And integrated into all of this is otherworldly architecture that only serves to highlight the diverse surroundings: postcard-perfect beaches, rocky bluffs jutting out into the Pacific, lush jungle, sweeping savannah, or coconut palm groves. Cuixmala is a little slice of paradise in the middle of a chaotic world. It’s an effort to do a little good for the planet as our species slowly destroys it. It’s a unique opportunity to enjoy the height of luxury while also getting in touch with the spiritual side of yourself that can only reveal itself in nature. It’s something you really have to see for yourself.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Why Alix’s father, Sir James Goldsmith, built Cuixmala Sir James Goldsmith’s astounding ecological efforts & confrontational relationship with the press Transitioning from organic to biodynamic farming No piece of nature is unimportant—even a single baby turtle—which is why we made sure every baby sea turtle made it to the ocean safely while I was visiting The craziest thing that Alix has ever seen on the property Alix’s three natural childbirths (two on the Cuixmala property) Why is conventional food “organic” but artificially-created food is just “food”? The difference between being organic and bio-dynamic A psychological and spiritual perspective on farming and the cycle of life Alix’s journey with plant medicine The most outlandish requests that Alix has had from her guests Why Alix is motivated to contribute and create a positive impact on the planet, even though she doesn’t really have to   More about this episode.

Mood changes, irritability, depression, anxiety, fatigue: these are not simply symptoms of illnesses that we should all medicate and suppress — these are symptoms of the human experience. And our souls get the most out of our experience here on this rock hurtling through space when it is forced to confront and work through mental, emotional, and physical pain. This is how we grow. This is how we find who we are. So, today, we’re talking to holistic psychiatrist and returning guest Dr. Kelly Brogan, who is willing to stand up to the Pharma Mafia and Big Tech censorship in an effort to change the way we understand and approach mental health and ourselves. And Kelly has a ton of incredible insight in her brand-new book, Own Your Self: The Surprising Path beyond Depression, Anxiety, and Fatigue to Reclaiming Your Authenticity, Vitality, and Freedom. In the book and this episode, Kelly invites us to come on a journey of finally coming home to ourselves and shows us how we can alchemize crisis into growth — and I am so excited to take this journey with her.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: When we do and don’t have sovereignty over our own bodies Alchemizing crisis into growth We’re not that different — but we have different defenses The link between brain damage and vaccines Kelly’s pharmaceutical “red pill” Getting past the victimhood model The dangers of deplatforming Alex Jones Pharmaceuticals aren’t the wrong answer for everyone — but they’re definitely not the right answer for everyone, either Choosing side effects over effort The obscurity of Google search algorithms Perpetuating the idea that there’s a bad other Beginning the process of walking towards ourselves The balance between commitment and choice The realm of belief Vs. the realm of science The connection between psych meds and mass shootings Your invitation to join a pharma-free life Psychoneuroimmunology   More about this episode.
