What if Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases are preventable? What if our choices at the grocery store cash register, and the decisions we make when we’re craving a snack, are contributing to or causing dementia? Those are the questions that drove Max Lugavere – health and science journalist, brain food expert, and the co-author of the New York Times bestseller Genius Foods –  to create his upcoming documentary Bread Head, a first-of-its-kind film about taking back the fate of our defining human characteristic: Our brains. Bread Head is also an incredibly personal story for Max because it documents his mother’s battle with a neurodegenerative disease. Unfortunately, there aren’t many viable interventions once symptoms start to appear. You’re just prescribed glorified biochemical band-aids and sent on your merry way. Max found that experience unsettling, and it drove him to pursue real answers. To Max, our current dementia epidemic didn't make sense.  The human body and mind can’t be designed to fall apart so dramatically as we get older. He’s determined to reverse the commonly held belief that getting older means eventually losing your mental capacities and becoming dependent on the medical care system. Or has he sometimes calls it- the sick care system. Through Max’s tireless research he’s making some very promising discoveries about how our diet and lifestyle choices shape the future of our brain’s health. This episode will teach you the real truth about how lifestyle and diet affect our health. It turns out that changes in the brain begin decades before symptoms develop, so the absolute best way we can move the needle on neurodegenerative disease is by minimizing risk when we have the chance. And every day, we make choices that move the needle one way or another. So what choices are you going to make today? You can start by diving into this thought-provoking conversation, then share it with someone you know who wants to keep their mind young and nimble.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: How we trick our brains into believing that carbs and sugar are our friends Max’s extremely personal relationship with degenerative brain disease Searching for the links between Alzheimer’s and other chronic diseases Why the low fat craze was one of the worst things to happen to the American diet The average American consumes a mind-boggling 300g of carbohydrates per day How salt + butter + carbs pushes your brain to a bliss point that renders self-control futile The oils that you should definitely avoid or remove from your diet How to identify the best olive to purchase, and how to avoid fakes Why you should be thinking about the nutrient density of your diet The correlation between grains, gluten, and your cognitive ability The fact that there is no biological requirement for grains in our diet whatsoever Why saunas and cold therapy have so many health benefits Shopping Bread Head around at festivals Becoming truth-seekers who question authority Being skeptical, but never cynical   More about this episode.

Warning: I was tripping when I recorded this episode. Before recording this interview, Energy Muse co-founders Heather Askinosie and Timmi Jandro laid me down on a crystal-laden iMRS PEMF mat for about 20 minutes and guided me through the insane and wonderful experience they call Crystal Biohacking. This crystal-assisted device recalibrated my nervous system and calmed me down – so essentially, it’s a mobile battery you can use to recharge yourself. These ladies knew how to get me primed in my flow state, and created the most insanely powerful energy vortex for our recording. I honestly knew almost nothing about crystals before this conversation, so this experience was pretty much the perfect segue into my big question: What the heck are crystals, and do they have 'healing powers'? For some people they are just a colorful a rock, for others, they’re a tool – and for Heather, a natural born skeptic, and researcher, they quickly became an obsession. The more she learned about the power of these strange natural formations, the more she wanted to know how to integrate them into her life, and ultimately, her business. As a result of her growing curiosity and passion, Energy Muse was born in 2000. That was also the year Heather's former skepticism was laid to rest. Today, Heather and Timmi are working hard to shatter the misconceptions of the crystal world, by bringing these mysterious objects to the masses. They’re trying to destigmatize the practice of crystal use, and take the “woo-woo” out of the industry for those who might be scared away by the new age connotations crystals once carried. They continue to be motivated by the facts that the positive effects of crystals aren’t just metaphysical – they’re real, tangible, and very accessible to your anyone if they’re willing to try. So whether you’re a veteran crystal wizard, a skeptic yourself, or finally feel comfortable coming out of the crystal closet, the girls of Energy Muse are here for you in this epic, supercharged episode.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: If a biohacking device is good enough for NASA, it’s good enough for Luke Crystals are energy you can touch and feel Taking the “woo-woo” stigma out of crystals & simplifying the practice Discovering crystals that supposedly come from outer space How long have humans been using crystals? An extremely commonplace that people see crystals, without realizing it: LCD screens, or Liquid-crystal Displays We’re all communicating through crystals in our phones, computers, and other tech! Programming ourselves like a computer chip You don’t need science to tell you that love works Coming out of the crystal closet Being the bridge between the woo-woo and science How crystals intensify energy – good, bad, or otherwise With crystals, bigger and more is not necessarily better The common denominator between us is that we have all our feet on the Earth Shungite: one of the most fascinating substances on the planet Getting in tune with what works for you, whether it’s biohacking or crystal healing Writing what is essentially a crystal recipe book, Crystal Muse: Everyday Rituals to Tune into the Real You The powerful shifting prayer that Energy Muse learned from Bobby Lake-Thom (you can check it out in the episode and try it out yourself!) What do the different shapes of crystals indicate? Why are women inserting jade eggs into their vaginas? What Heather & Timmi are excited about right now   More about this episode.

Have you noticed that mainstream spirituality as a form of self-help and personal development is taking the world by storm lately? There are guides, teachers, mentors, and gurus popping up onto the new age scene in droves. This is of course, for the most part, a beautiful thing, as we all know the world could use as many higher-consciousness thought leaders at this particular stage of our evolution. However, today’s spiritual seeker has to apply more discernment than ever before when selecting his or her modern-day guru. With so many teachers of spirit arriving on the scene, it can be tough to separate the true from false, especially when the aspirant finds themselves at a particularly vulnerable crossroad in life.   Our guest Danielle LaPorte is one of the most popular spiritually motivating teachers to emerge over the past few years. Her popularity is growing at a staggering pace. The thing that makes Danielle unique amongst the latest generation of gurus is that she isn’t claiming to be a guru at all. She’s not trying to convince you she has this whole life thing all figured out – she’s merely on her inner journey, inviting us all to come along and join her in her awakening, one day at a time. Danielle’s newest book, White Hot Truth: Clarity for keeping it real on your spiritual path—from one seeker to another, is pretty much a detox for a world inundated by self-proclaimed spiritual sherpas. The whole point of this journey, after all, is to become your guru; to create space for your voice, to own your issues, and to learn from your experiences and pain so that you might be given the opportunity to share the lessons you learn along the way with other soul travelers. Are you ready to give yourself a loving reality check and start finding your path to enlightenment on this journey of life? Pop on some headphones, and prepare yourself for some deeply down to earth spiritual truth.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Getting addicted to self-help Why narcissism is a painful trap (that doesn’t blend well with spirituality) How to avoid being pseudo spiritual The overuse + misuse of the word ‘Guru.’ How and why  Danielle created LIGHTER: a one-year soul support program How self-help devolves into self-criticism Why we’re addicted to our phones, and how we keep justifying the addiction Being successful without getting stuck in the lower states of desire + want Taking responsibility for your feelings Cultivating an open, tender heart and a big effing fence Using the human body as a tuning fork for truth The power of eye gazing with an open heart to appreciate someone you love Maintaining faith in goodness when life seems dark Considering the point of view of the soul’s evolutionary purpose The relationship between spiritual maturity and softness Why Danielle stays in touch with her feminine energy in every situation Danielle’s bag of meditation tricks + finding the right meditation practice for you   More about this episode.   THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: JOOVV.

I started The Life Stylist Podcast to share some of the things I’ve discovered along my journey of personal development and self-improvement. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 22 years of biohacking, it’s that too much focus on solely the physical tends to become in and of itself an addiction, obsession, or at the very least a distraction from the real task at hand- spiritual enlightenment. While we do need to keep our physical vessel (our meat suit) healthy, stable and in tune so that we can fulfill our soul's mission of love and service to others here on the material plane, it's a spiritual trap to become too enamored by the temporary loaner vehicle we call our body. So in this Bootleg Broadcast of a talk I gave at Bulletproof Upgrade Labs, I focus on the global human experience and the role of mindset, mindfulness, and spirituality in your overall health and wellness. Are you ready to start spirithacking?   Topics Discussed In This Episode: That time I recorded my stem cell surgery and put it on YouTube A centering breathwork exercise Primary water – AKA the nectar of the gods Going out to hunt for your spring water How you can protect yourself from the onslaught of EMFs & turn your bedroom into a faraday cage Why I'm a sun worshipper How meditation creates a gap between ‘the witness consciousness’ and the phenomenon we call living life How you can take advantage of “negativity fasting” (and why you should give it a shot) The practice of prayer – not strictly religious prayer, but living in a state of recognition that we’re not separate from everything else in the universe Serving the highest good for yourself & others The prayer that changed my life forever Why all of these spiritual, mental, and physical practices have one purpose: they give us the capacity to be of service to the world   More about this episode.

Are you #OnShrooms? If not, why not?! Mushrooms are one of the most popular current wellness trends globally, being spearheaded by health experts and herbalists everywhere.  Over the past few years, many outstanding mushroom products have been brought to market, and the industry doesn't seem to be losing steam anytime soon. Jeff Chilton is one of the foremost experts on all things mushrooms and is an absolute veteran of the shroom scene going back decades.  He and his colleagues at Nammex introduced medicinal mushrooms to the U.S. nutritional supplement industry back in 1989. And as we stand on the verge of 2019, it's pretty remarkable that medicinal mushrooms are just now starting to hit the mainstream – because the vast history of fungi being used by humans for longevity and consciousness expansion goes back eons. Mushrooms have played an enormous role in Jeff’s life since he was young when a friend came back from Mexico telling tales of Magic Mushrooms. So while in university, Jeff ended up exploring the anthropological history of mushrooms worldwide, including their role in Shamanistic practices. Jeff didn't find much use for an anthropology degree, as it turns out, so Jeff found himself heading 60 miles down the road to work at Ostrom Mushroom Farms in Olympia, Washington in 1973. After ten years growing 10s of millions of pounds of commercial mushrooms – the edible kind that you find in grocery stores – Jeff found himself exploring the medicinal side of mushrooms, particularly the ancient knowledge of Chinese herbalists. But when he tried to bring that knowledge back with him in the 1990s, medicinal mushrooms were a hard sell in the Western world. Even the wellness world wasn’t interested in fungi – luckily for all of us, times have since changed. With decades of research and insight, Jeff answers pretty much every question one might have about mushrooms: What’s the difference between culinary and medicinal mushrooms? Are medicinal mushrooms able to heal everything the internet tells me (spoiler: they’re helpful, not magic) Why is micro-dosing becoming so popular amongst young entrepreneurs and creatives?  Were psychedelic mushrooms different 40 years ago, and what place to they have alongside a healthy lifestyle today? Answers to these questions and more are revealed in great detail in this comprehensive study of all things mushrooms. Put your headphones on one, and get ready to take a trip.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Overseeing the growth of 2,000 mushroom crops over the course of a decade – that’s approximately 40,000,000 pounds of mushrooms all together! Starting the United States’ first mushroom conferences The world’s governments that have made PLANTS illegal. The secrets of how and why How our education system shuts down the human mind and creativity The importance of set & setting with psychedelic experiences Surreal microdosing experiences & how microdosing relates to McKenna’s “Stoned Ape” theory of human evolution China actually began cultivating mushrooms as far back as the 12th century The economics of commercial mushroom cultivation VS medicinal supplement production What can go wrong while growing organic mushrooms What makes each species of mushroom unique There’s thousands of species of mushroom in the world... but we can only cultivate about 25 of them! How some of the most popular medicinal mushrooms – cordyceps, reishi, chaga, and lion’s mane – are used to heal the body Why reishi is the mack daddy of adaptogenic mushrooms (and if you’re only going to take just one, make it reishi) Fun fact: chaga isn’t actually a mushroom Don’t listen to everything the internet says – medicinal mushrooms are incredibly helpful, but they’re not magic or a panacea (and shout out to Jeff for having the balls to make this distinction) Why Jeff bought a professional geiger counter after Fukushima The extraction methods for different medicinal mushrooms   More about this episode.   THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ONNIT.

WARNING: After this episode, you will never look at your phone, internet router, or even your home appliances the same way again. This conversation is the ultimate Red Pill for the current state of electro-pollution, and its devastating effects on our biology. This show is dedicated EMFs, or electromagnetic frequencies. And it is going to change your life. If you care about your health, EMF mitigation should be your first line of defense. Some would argue that EMF awareness and protection is as important as diet and exercise when it comes to health and longevity. People ask me about EMFs all the time, and it’s such a vast topic, that I will probably need to devote an episode to this issue a couple of times per year, just to keep up. There’s always new information coming out about the potential dangers of EMFs, and public awareness is thankfully growing every day. When I spoke Paleo f(x) recently in Austin, TX, I found myself in a deep-dive conversation with #BrianHoyer, an EMF specialist and the founder of Shielded Healing. After testing the EMF levels around us in the convention center using his high- tech gear, I decided to find a quiet spot to record a conversation with Brian, to take a detailed look at this incredibly complex issue Brian’s mission is to shift people towards ancestral habits, and native lifeways that awaken dormant healing responses in the body – and to bring awareness to the unfortunate invisible side-effects of advancing technology that cripple our body's innate healing mechanisms. The good news? We’re not defenseless against these invisible stressors! Throughout this episode, Brian shares surprisingly simple solutions for minimizing or removing the damaging frequencies from your home, office, computer, and cell phone. Want to prevent your cell phone from causing a permeable blood-brain barrier? Trying to avoid being blasted by your microwave? Just want to feel better on a day-to-day basis? Brian has you covered. Please support the show by sharing it with  someone you know who is probably getting fried by EMFs, and would be interested in protecting themselves.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: What the heck are EMFs and why should I care? All of the things in your daily life that bombard your body with electrical fields How we can measure the micro voltage on our bodies You’ve got the Paleo diet – now it’s time to create the Paleo space! The effect of your (and your neighbors’) microwave’s magnetic field Brian’s unique EMF testing technology The surprisingly simple solutions we can use to reduce the number of fields attacking us in our homes and offices How tech like Bluetooth headsets can cause a permeable blood-brain barrier Why shielding your home can fix problems like leaky gut What you can do to minimize the harmful effects of your cell phone (while still receiving notifications) How to shield yourself from the top four worst EMF's while you sleep, and the single most powerful thing you can do to protect yourself How we, as a society, could be creating healthier technology The benefits of turning your bed into a faraday cage Avoiding the geopathic stress caused disruptions in the Earth’s electromagnetic field The danger of smart meters Is grounding technology helping or hurting you?   More about this episode.   THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ALTERRA PURE.

This unique 'Bootleg Broadcast' episode was recorded live from an undisclosed location in Malibu in a room full of Life Stylist Podcast listeners, and some of LA's most fascinating and talented people – including Eli Block, Master Stroker and lead Orgasmic Meditation (OM) instructor at OneTaste. We skip the story of how Eli got into this meditative practice – you can check out my first conversation with Eli back in episode 10 to learn all about that – and dive deep into the nitty-gritty of how Orgasmic Meditation works and who it helps. Our modern sexual practice is hyper-masculine and extremely goal-driven.  It usually ends up following transactional rules, like commerce. I do this for you, then you do that for me, etc. But do you want to approach intimacy the same way you approach buying a sandwich? It’s not very sexy (and not very zen). Instead, perhaps we can explore a more expansive understanding of intimacy? Interested in aligning your understanding of gender, sexuality, and orgasm with nature? Want to develop a sexual practice with your partner that doesn’t solely focus on exchanging pleasure? Then you might consider a ride on the OM train.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: What exactly Orgasmic Meditation is & how you can practice it with your partner Why this process involves stroking the clitoris with no intended goal Our culture has a hyper-masculine definition for a lot of things related to relationships – but we could all benefit from learning more feminine definitions The skewed commerce of pleasure What makes a hot makeout When Luke accidentally sent his father some super nasty porn in the mail for Christmas Why there is no “nutritional value” to porn How your rigid sexual preferences can mean the undoing of your pleasure The wildly different reasons different people have sex Why your sexual skill doesn’t matter if a woman doesn’t want to enjoy what you’re doing OM as a protocol for increasing sensitivity & bringing orgasm to the next level You can OM however you want to, with whomever you want to – that’s why it’s a practice!

Having tried many of them, and left most of them behind, one I’ve decided to stick with is Athletic Greens. The attention to detail in the ingredient deck and the careful sourcing of those ingredients is really impressive. The inclusion of not only the broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals is fantastic, but also the enzymes and probiotics necessary to fully assimilate those nutrients. Add to that the convenience factor, and the elimination of the need to travel with 20 bottles of supplements, and you’ve got a home run even for the most discerning health connoisseur. If you’re looking for fast acting energy, alkalinity, and nutrient density, Athletic Greens is a home run. Get 20 FREE travel packs valued at $99 with your first purchase. AND... ORGANIFI.

For a lot of us, pain is a necessary catalyst for change. For me, it was hitting rock bottom with my drug addiction. For Kyle Kingsbury, it was watching his parents’ abusive relationship and years of struggling with suicidal thoughts. But while standing naked on the ledge of a parking garage on the verge of taking a suicidal leap to his death, Kyle felt, for the first time in his life, that he wasn’t alone- that there was more to life - and that he was loved. It was on that fateful ledge that Kyle realized that whatever needs to be done to find fulfillment, needs to be done internally – he wasn’t going to fix his mind or body with any pill or diet fad. Not long after that experience, Kyle started his career in professional mixed martial arts with the UFC. He had an outlet, he had a team, and he had a  significant goal to work toward. Plus, he was good at it, and that helped. (This primal warrior won his first two fights in under 30 seconds.) While fighting, Kyle dove deep into health, wellness, nutrition, and biohacking, with some detours into the world of plant medicine. All of this prepared him for his current role as Director of Human Optimization (AKA the company guinea pig) at Onnit, an incredible company dedicated to Total Human Optimization (and a biohacker’s best friend). Once you experience the power of a proper diet, supplements, nootropics, cold thermogenesis, breathwork, and even microdosing in the pursuit of Total Human Optimization, you’ll feel the difference – and you’ll know that this biohacking stuff is more than just a bunch of trends.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: How Kyle used fighting as a coping mechanism, early and often Advocating for the useful drugs & against the destructive drugs Learning to quiet the mental noise without narcotics What it’s like to struggle with suicidal thoughts as early as seven years old The respectful camaraderie between professional fighters How getting put on the bench in college football fueled Kyle’s fighting The pain of genuinely believing that no one will ever love you When Kyle realized he wasn’t alone & there was more to life... while standing at the edge of a suicidal plunge to death The boxing coach that brought Kyle to traditional sweat lodges before and after every fight camp Discovering the world of plant medicines: psilocybin, ayahuasca, and more How diet, supplements, nootropics, and even microdosing play a role in Total Human Optimization Why Kyle had to be a bouncer and bartender at a strip club almost the entire time he was in the UFC What it’s like to experience a life of Total Human Optimization A day in the presence of Kyle Kingsbury: breathwork, cold thermogenesis, killer workouts, and more The transformative plant medicine experiences that Kyle has gone through with his wife (and the insane sex that they have had while using various substances) Teaching your kids the right & wrong ways to use plant medicines + other parenting insights   More about this episode.

I recently had the opportunity to moderate a panel of leaders in the spiritual community at an event in LA called WITMA. One of the most intriguing of my panelists was a tall, dark, and incredibly straight talking man by the name of Shaman Durek. He stood out in the crowd not only because of his colorful, tribal fashion adornment but because of his zero f***s given approach to spirituality. His raw, tough love approach immediately struck a chord in me, and I knew the moment I saw him that we’d become soul brothers. And that’s precisely what happened. Fast forward a few months to lots of texting, and one hell of a shamanic healing session at my house a month before this podcast was recorded. Durek came over to kindly offer one of his famous healing sessions, and what took place was about as close to the supernatural as it gets. Needless to say, I was not only impressed by his abilities to find hidden mental ghosts and emotional blockages within me, but I knew then that someday we would record one hell of a podcast together. Well, it wasn’t long after that that Durek was back in LA (he leads a somewhat nomadic lifestyle), so we decided to make my home the location of our biohacking geek out session. The plan was at first to hang and catch up, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to capture our conversation on audio and video. Durek somewhat reluctantly agreed to let me basically wiretap our bro time, and create some genuine and unedited dialog. What resulted was nothing short of magical. After doing a shamanic reading on my friend Elliot who happened to be at my house when Durek arrived, we proceeded to throw some mics up and not only record Durek as a guest on my show but also me as a guest on his show, Ancient Wisdom Today. Between the two recordings, we talked non-stop until 4 am. Way past my bedtime, but worth it in every sense. In this episode Shaman Durek takes us on an epic journey into the depths of our soul, calling in great spirits by drawing on his shamanic, ancestral wisdom to get to the root of human suffering to offer profound solutions of deep healing. I invite you to take some time to get yourself present and open your mind to the fascinating world of Shaman Durek.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: The mind-blowing things that Shaman Durek witnessed during his near-death experience The three-word answer to mankind’s biggest question to god: Why is there evil and suffering? How we can collectively escape the victim consciousness & evolve without suffering The lifestyle that allowed the Durek to shed 30 pounds in 30 days Asking your body what it needs – and then actually listening The spirituality of Metallica Why being in love with yourself is one of the most potent spirithacks The message that Shaman Durek is going to share no matter what – even if it kills him How you can tell the difference between a craving and a need (in every area of your life) What do you need to feel lit every day? Learning about God by learning about what God created – AKA you Getting out of the me consciousness & embracing the WE consciousness How the Durek is empowering women all over the globe Why we currently lack radical leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. in our world The purpose of being a lightworker Facing the evil on this planet with love The escapism of pornography & rock ‘n’ roll The vicious cycle of addiction What spiritual debt is & how it affects us on a physical level   More about this episode.
