The Life Stylist

Most people know by now that our environment, water, and food supply is chock full of toxins, and that our bodies accumulate these toxins over time, and this eventually leads to chronic disease and even early death. But what is the most effective way to both detox our bodies, and provide them with the much-needed nutrients missing from much of our modern, industrialized food system? How much time and energy have you wasted trying the latest detox protocol, without really knowing if it worked? How much money have you wasted on supplements over the years? How many times have you heard the hype about some new pill or powder, made it part of your routine, and then just kinda felt the same? That’s because not all supplements are made equally – not even close. Even when the supplement is full of high-quality nutrients, our body’s digestive system usually filters it out or breaks it down. But here’s the thing: our bodies desperately need supplements these days because we have pretty much destroyed the nutritional quality of our food system – and as a result of the same broken industrial systems, our bodies are also full of more toxins than they can handle while nutrient deprived. Today’s guest, however, is constantly striving to evolve the way the medical industry delivers care, and he is perpetually broadening the way the world understands health. Dr. Chris Shade is the creator of Quicksilver Scientific, an organization on a mission to combine nature’s nutrients with the power of science to deliver the most effective supplements and detoxification protocols on the market. Dr. Shade’s holistic mission began after he developed a new diagnostic process to analyze human toxicity, especially mercury. This proved there was, indeed, a toxicity problem in many communities – but he also needed a solution. So he developed a new nanoparticle biodelivery system that uses these microscopic spheres called Liposomes to deliver compounds such as glutathione directly into human cells, kickstarting our natural detoxification processes and improving cellular health. This is medical innovation inspired by nature and I’m into it.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: How our body naturally detoxes itself, when the system is working Why Dr. Shade was dissatisfied with other products on the market & decided to make them himself What mercury can do to your body Why a liposomal delivery system is the most effective way of getting nutrients into your body (without destroying them) What you will learn from Quicksilver’s next-level toxicity test How leaded gasoline was related to violent crime Some game-changing info about Keto Where you are accumulating the most toxins in your daily life Why infrared saunas are beneficial for detox, beyond just sweating The best supplements for travel What lesser-known-but-vital nutrients you probably don’t have enough of The danger of armchair scientists & how junk science gets perpetuated online   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: ORGANIFI.

You deserve unconditional love – and you deserve to love unconditionally. As human beings, we crave this from the moment we’re born, but our minds and our domestic conditioning tend to hold us back. The good news? We’re also born with everything we need to achieve it. So, today, I invite you to join me in a powerfully transformative workshop, recorded live from the RA MA Institute in Venice, on how to use the power of mantra, meditation, pranayam (breath), Kundalini yoga, and intention to catalyze your personal growth and expansion. In practicing these ancient techniques, you will learn how to create and widen the critical gap of separation between the egoic instincts and the calculating, negatively biased mind; you will learn how to access your true soul identity hidden behind the false self and how to live a life motivated by the power of unconditional love. So, are you ready to break free of the judgemental mind to find your soul power?   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Identifying the thoughts and behaviors that block us from the life we crave and deserve Using intention to overcome the resentment, fear, or shame that’s blocking you from experiencing love The quantum physics of perception, reality, and spirituality Stillness: the rare but valuable experience of sitting with presence The erroneous belief that our body = our self You don’t need to take your animal self so seriously – and you also don’t need to fight with it Suffering in the self-created delusion that life is out to get you How far we can go in one human lifetime, with the right tools Trying to change our experience using the wrong power source The many, many different paths to spiritual growth The freeing experience that there’s something greater It’s brave to access emotion There’s transformation in applying universal truths   More about this episode.

Today, we’re getting back to the biohacking roots of The Life Stylist – and then going a step beyond. I’ve scoured the Earth looking for anything and everything that might help me feel great, think more clearly, and stay on the winning side of the battle against addiction. I’ve been injected with poisonous Amazonian frog venom, endured weeks of neurofeedback meditation in an isolation chamber, and recently spent a weekend communing with mother Ayahuasca. Our guest, Troy Casey, went on a similar world tour in his journey to becoming one of the world’s leading longevity authorities and the “Certified Health Nut.” He’s worked with indigenous tribes in the Amazon as a medicine hunter, studied the ancient Vipassana Meditation technique Ashtanga Yoga, and worked closely with Paul Chek at the world-famous C.H.E.K. Institute. He has since successfully restored physical, mental, and emotional balance to clients who have failed with all other systems using a unique, simple, and nature-informed holistic approach that anyone can follow. And, honestly, if you want some indication that this system works, look at some pictures of Troy – it’s nuts that this guy is in his 50s. Today, Troy’s work goes a step beyond biohacking your own body and mind. He has a grand vision for co-creating a world with clean air, water, soil, and equitable systems for all mankind in his lifetime – something he believes is absolutely attainable. To complete the mission, though, we need two things: a complete systems change that values competition over creativity, in every area of life (energy, agriculture, commerce, media, government, etc.), and a collective rising of consciousness to support the new systems. So, are you ready to rise up and join Troy in his campaign to improve the world? If you aren’t now, I think you will be after hearing him talk.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: The benefits of Shivambu, the ancient art of urine autotherapy (yep, that’s drinking your own pee, among other things) How you can tell what’s working and what’s not when you are trying a lot of different healing methodologies The most undervalued biohacks out there: sleep, ice, & more How Troy discovered that black mold exposure was wrecking his health, how he healed himself, & when you might want to get your house tested for mold The antidote to complexity is simplicity Using the primordial, perennial wisdom of the Amazon Rainforest to activate higher states of consciousness, restore nature, & bring the divine feminine into balance Almost everything that really moves the needle when it comes to healing your body, even from chronic problems that Western medicine says are incurable, has one thing in common: it’s free! The modern phenomenon of “spiritual bypassing” Playing a big cosmic joke on God The health and societal problem caused by our self-domestication – and why it’s time to upend the systems that keep us docile and unhealthy Primal activation & the full integration of the shadow, or christ consciousness in animal formation Why the ascended master is not necessarily the highest level of attainment Troy’s plant medicine experience & the visions that have come true since then Facing your shadow self & learning to understand how it serves you 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: ORGANIFI.

It’s East meets West today because we have the one and only Dr. Barry Morguelan on the show! Dr. B is a world-class Gastroenterologist and Internal Medicine physician, but throughout his time as a western doctor, he has been interested in how both cutting-edge techniques and ancient modalities can be used to more efficiently treat, heal, and prevent disease. Back in 1980, Dr. B set out on a world-wide search to find alternative forms of healing that could complement western medicine and advance the western medical field; he wanted to find the Yin to Western medicine’s Yang. This pursuit eventually led Dr. B to china, where he was introduced to healers in a remote area who resolved multiple illnesses without drugs or surgery. This was the modality he had been searching for, for over a decade. Dr. B was invited to train in what was referred to as “Grow Younger” Energy Treatments, becoming the only western Grand Master of this 5,000-year-old Chinese Source Energy discipline. Afterwards, he came back to the U.S. and started Energy for Success to provide people access to this profoundly supportive energy source. These treatments reacquaint one with the core and sacred body of Energy that they had as a child. This Energy affords a huge expansion in one’s ability to love oneself and other people, as well as a huge expansion in happiness. Participants report that this Energy has expanded their general knowledge, freedom, and power so that they experience higher degrees of success in their lives. He is now on a mission to empower as many as people as possible to quickly and easily transform their own life, and over the years, he has supported high achievers such as Tony Robbins, Jay Abraham, Dave Asprey, Olympic and professional athletes, musicians, movie and playwrights, in excelling beyond their previous limits – the kinds of people we look up to and almost seem superhuman at times. So whether you’re interested in going beyond your limits, are skeptical of the Western system of medicine and want to learn about a more holistic approach to health, or just want to live a happier life, this is a must-listen.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Why Dr. B wanted to look outside of Western medicine to expand his medical practice Why Dr. B was skeptical when he first witnessed the 5,000-year-old Chinese Source Energy discipline being practiced – and what ultimately convinced him that it wasn’t a scam or the placebo effect How Dr. B got his invite into this elite and secluded group of Chinese healers There’s always a source for everything The unknown isn’t mystical or magic; prescription drugs and smart phones were a fantasy until they were discovered and known, and then they were ordinary How modern Western medical practices and ancient Eastern healing techniques and knowledge fit together The profoundly transformative results that Dr. B has seen after people earnestly practice the methodologies they teach at Energy for Success The ability to achieve anything we want is already inside of us, whether that’s personal achievement or physical healing Why Dr. B chooses to empower others to be their own teacher, guru, and healer Everyone can experience the miracle of life, at every moment The Matrix has always tried to trick us into thinking that the world is too complicated and we’ve all been destined to be overworked and overwhelmed Learning how to heal from trauma through energy work Can we overcome external challenges to our health, especially in the big city?   More about this episode.

The scene is New York City. Millions of cars are screeching by, busy people are shuffling down the streets rushing from one appointment to another, and that weird vapor is coming out of the sewer. Danielle DuBoise is in the hospital after an extreme cleanse and raw food diet. Whitney Tingle is on Wall Street eating hamburgers, cupcakes, and pizza to fuel her insane lifestyle.   These two friends from Sedona were, in many ways, living lifestyles at opposite ends of the spectrum, but they still shared two things in common: neither of them were taking care of themselves or their bodies, and they both desperately needed a change.   Together, they decided to look inward and find the root cause of their health problems – and in the process, they created a nutrition program that helped them transform from stressed out and imbalanced to nourished and thriving. They started making loving, healthy choices for themselves, as a lifestyle and not a diet.   The transformative effects of adopting this holistic lifestyle were remarkable, and they knew they had to share it. So they co-created Sakara Life, the organic, plant-rich meal delivery program beloved by celebrities, supermodels, pro athletes, and business moguls.   And now they’re bringing this knowledge to even more people with their brand new cookbook and lifestyle guide, Eat Clean, Play Dirty: Recipes for a Body and Life You Love by the Founders of Sakara Life, which teaches readers to make signature Sakara dishes in their own kitchens.   If you want to make a change in your life and you’re ready to learn more about holistic nutrition – or if you’re already on that train and just want to hear about some delicious, healthy food – this is a mouth-watering episode that will leave you looking at your plate in a whole new way.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Danielle + Whitney’s journey from Sedona to Sakara The psychological scars of fighting with cystic acne The horrifying side effects of Accutane What every person needs every day to feel like their best self What you probably don’t know about the seeds and oil industry Realizing that so many of our health problems are actually because we have an unhealthy gut Reframing your relationship with food Why counting calories doesn’t work Eating for how you want to feel What we can learn from Cookie’s two trainers Scaling a business from nothing to 120 employees & staying friends Learning how to run a business through life schooling You don’t have to change your taste or aesthetics to adopt a healthier lifestyle and relationship with food (i.e. you don’t have to be a new age hippy to benefit from holistic health) The quantum effects of knowing how many calories are in a dish The arbitrary belief that there is an end to life The Sakara Life standards: food has to be fresh, it has to look beautiful, it has to be really delicious, and it has to offer real results What goes into creating Sakra Life’s supply chain for fresh ingredients POOP!

Although I worked in the fashion industry for 17 years, we haven’t talked about the subject very much on the show. So, I’m excited to be sitting down with costume designer and personal stylist Leesa Evans, who is credited on over 25 films and 500 commercials, created the le Cloud clothing line, and co-founded Stylefund with comedian Amy Schumer. In movies, clothes help establish characters, but that’s only a small part of Leesa’s role on set. She’s also, in many ways, an anthropologist, psychologist, and artist; she’s figuring out how the clothing speaks to who characters are as humans and how they relate to the world at large, as well as the emotions that those clothes evoke from viewers. And through doing this work, Leesa has learned the profound ways that clothing can affect us and the people around us, positively or negatively, developing an aesthetic philosophy that extends beyond the silver screen and into the real world. One of her clients, Russell Brand, poetically describes this philosophy as aligning one’s essence with their clothes. “Through color, fabric, texture, and accessory, Leesa creates a symphonic truth, bringing to the surface and demonstrating the aspects of your character that you want the world to see... She helps you to show the world the beautiful part of you. And if that happens to be a lime green cape, purple boots and a cap with a feather—if Leesa dresses you in it— that must be who you are inside.” That is what style is, although we don’t always give it the credit it deserves, often misrepresenting it as a tool of vanity. But our form has a purpose, and we should be purposeful in the way that we express ourselves. So, are you ready to connect with yourself, find your purpose, and pull it out of you one thread at a time?   Topics Discussed In This Episode: How clothing makes or breaks your day What we communicate to the world through the way we dress Through collaboration, building something better than you could ever conceive of on your own How coming up with the initial design concept and then fitting an actor contributes to how the actor embodies their character What it’s like to work with method actors How collaboration betters you as a person Some of the most beautiful, successful, and famous people are also some of the most insecure The bizarre epiphany that Leesa had at 17 & how it affects the way she lives her life to this day Choosing to be happy Healing our subconscious wounds Pushing yourself into creativity by filling voids Feeling comfortable enough to connect with yourself Leesa’s styling philosophy: the shapes that we wear help us get out of our comfort zone, and over time, that leads to a general feeling of well being How the artistic intention of our clothing contributes to the way we express ourselves You can’t fabricate confidence – that’s arrogance Not letting your clothes stop you from doing anything you want to do in your life Allowing your clothing to support you Co-founding Stylefund with Amy Schumer with the mission to improve women’s process of getting dressed by helping them better understand their individual silhouettes   More about this episode.

Do you keep falling into the same patterns in your relationship? Feel like you keep dating the same person, even if they have different names and faces? Struggling to find your voice in intimate situations? Today, Michele Paradise returns to teach us about the science of our relationships, why we migrate to certain romantic partnerships, and what it is in our subconscious that causes these feelings and patterns – for both men and women. Michele is a master practitioner of NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming), and if you’re not familiar, NLP is personal development, communication, and psychotherapy tool that helps people think differently about how the world works and achieve excellence in everyday life. You may wonder what that has to do with relationships, but language is one of the most important aspects of relationships – and when we better understand the science behind it, we have a lot more power to make our voice heard and understood. We get stuck in these patterns because we are all products of romanticism, not reason, but today we’ll learn how Michele helps her clients find their voices in consciously choosing their partners and in finding their voices in intimacy.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: What’s been going on since we last spoke to Michele in episodes 79 and 80 Getting in bed with Michele Paradise The dilemma with technology and real communication The shadow side of our parents being role models for partnerships Hypnotic loops with and without purpose Waking up and forcing ourselves to think How opening up your heart with Kundalini Yoga can help you create new patterns Conscious coupling How to find your voice in intimacy and relationships Overcoming the sexual shame that men and women experience Accenting words in normal conversations and covert hypnosis Asking for what you want – what you REALLY want Sex being in the mind not the body The value of opening yourself up to explore sexually with your partner Working through trauma loops and triggers, from past experiences, in new relationships Havening and role-Havening The difference between EMDR and Havening   More about this episode.

This is a Facebook Live field report posted by Luke Storey halfway through a week-long Ayahuasca ceremony at Rythmia in Costa Rica.    For a more detailed account of the experience, please listen to the two-part Life Stylist Podcast episode entitled 'Welcome To The Jungle: My Ayahuasca Journey At Rythmia'.    To watch this video on YouTube, visit https://youtu.be/tPTbx2XB98I   Audio quality disclaimer: Please excuse some occasional wind noise during this recording.

At this point in my Rythmia journey, I’ve already received a tremendous gift – I found my true purpose – but we’re still not done yet. Because we have two more incredible healers to meet in this episode: R. Christian Minson, the resident Director of the Breathwork Program at Rythmia Life Advancement Center, and Dr. Jeff McNairy, the Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia. Christian practices Transformational Breath, a practice that harnesses the power of your own innate healing capacity through cutting edge breathing techniques that access deeper amounts of life force energy, helping you to connect with yourself emotionally, physically, and spiritually. With Christian as your guide, the breathing brings you on insightful journeys that open you up to life changing events and shifts in consciousness. ​The results are meditative states of deep peace, energized enthusiasm for life, and an opening to the mystical realms of consciousness. It’s hard to believe that something so transformational can come from breath until you experience it, but it’s impossible to forget once you do. Christian was originally called to be a healer because he experienced the power of breathwork first hand – and if you listened to part one of my Rythmia journey, you can probably tell that this is a common theme here at Rythmia; the healed become the healers. And this is, at its essence, what Rythmia offers visitors: the opportunity to discover the light worker or light warrior essence within. Because when your light shines a bit brighter, you’re able to go out in the world and be of greater service. But this probably wouldn’t be possible or safe if it weren’t for Jeff McNairy, who has been working in the healthcare field for 25 years. He’s seen, over and over again, people struggling to heal because the current Western system of healthcare is simply deficient. It is more concerned with managing symptoms and prescribing “medicine” than healing. However, through working with some of the most intense patient populations – including those who struggle with addiction and trauma, like Rythmia co-founder Gerard Powell – he has seen that the only real healing can come from within; you have to find the root cause of your unhappiness, health concern, and discontent, then resolve it. And in working with Gerry and everyone else who has visited Rythmia since it opened, Jeff has seen that one plant medicine session conducted in a safe, clinically appropriate environment can be as effective as 10 years of psychotherapy. Like breathwork, it’s hard to believe that plant medicines can be so transformational – and then you experience it under the right conditions. It’s ancient modalities meeting modern psychology, all in the jungles of Costa Rica, and I invite you to come join me for the rest of this wild, profound, and emotional ride.   Topics Discussed With Christian: What breathwork is & how it can help you in ways that yoga can’t Why Christian became a monk for a decade (and then made the transition back to being a worldly person) How the healers at Rythmia help visitors find the light warrior essence within them What separates Transformational Breath from the hundreds of other breathwork practices out there Rebirthing through breath Plant medicine and breathwork both open up the door to consciousness – but breathwork opens the door and gently beckons you in while plant medicine grabs you and shoves you through the doorway The benefits of integrating a natural habitat into your spiritual experiences How breathwork works with plant medicine to evolve your experience & help you claim it as your own   Topics Discussed With Jeff: How the staff at Rythmia ensures that the plant medicine experience is safe for everyone involved A lot of what we call mental illness is just people in pain without any way to process that pain Using a drug to get off drugs (AKA why plant medicine is so effective for treating addiction) How it it possible that I had a psychedelic experience and, now, feel even more committed to being sober? (Trust me, that would never happen after a bump of coke...) When Jeff first met Gerry, who was then a very different person than the person you met in the last episode, and their transformational entré into the world of plant medicines The difference between iboga and ayahuasca, experientially and physically A common thread of trauma that has rippled throughout my life, especially my romantic life How the plant medicine helps you work through your own trauma and start the healing process We can’t connect with other people until we get connected with ourselves Why Rythmia accepts people who are shunned or devalued in many Western medical facilities due to their particular mental illness What science is starting to learn about the pineal gland & DMT How a dog helped me find God The three intentions that will help you find everything you’re looking for at Rhythmia   More about this episode.

This week, I invite you all to join me on an epic journey to Costa Rica (and far, far beyond). I recently spent a few days at the Rythmia Life Advancement Center, a leading retreat center that infuses ancient and modern wisdom, plant medicine, and breakthrough technologies for healing. It’s a go-to destination for those seeking a spiritually awakening vacation experience, and for those seeking help with addiction. And none of this would be possible if it weren’t for today’s guests, Rythmia co-founders Brandee Lynn and Gerard Powell. Brandee brings an element of practical mysticism to the Rythmia campus, helping spiritual newcomers more easily digest the esoteric ancient wisdom that we’ve forgotten in our modern world. She assists in lifting the veil of illusion and limiting beliefs so that visitors can align to their true nature, and she believes that by connecting to your truth, synchronicity becomes an ever-present reality, every day then unfolding as its own miracle. Miracles are big here at Rythmia. Really, we’re all here because Gerard Powell (although most people just call him Gerry) experienced his own miracle: one night that helped him heal a lifetime of suffering due to addiction. Gerry first made his way to Costa Rica after a friend told him about the healing power of psychedelic plant medicine. There, under the guidance of a 10th-generation Bwiti Shaman, Gerry experienced the life-altering power of an ancient Amazonian plant-based brew. Then, during his inaugural Ayahuasca ceremony, Gerry developed a deeper understanding of his emptiness after recovering a suppressed memory of horrible childhood trauma – just one of the subconscious traumas he realized was destroying his life. So Gerry acknowledged that his life was a mess and began to work on conquering his addictions, healing his emotional and psychological wounds, and embracing himself. His spiritual awakening and radical life overhaul eventually inspired him to create Rythmia as a haven for those seeking enlightenment and renewal. It is going to be a wild ride, and this is only the first half of my trip to Rythmia! But don’t worry, you don’t have to wait. Part two is available now and it features two more of the spiritual teachers that guided me through the world of plant medicine, breathwork, and beyond.   Topics Discussed With Brandee: All of the messages from the universe that brought Luke to Rythmia Why Brandee was reluctant to try plant medicines when they first started coming into her life The difference between a plant medicine and a drug Breaking the patterns that keep us stuck – or make us think we’re stuck The shadow side of the plant medicine community Where spiritual power and intellectual understanding intersect Checking in with your inner child and showing it compassion What important lessons Brandee learned from plant medicine, and how she integrated that knowledge back into her life (a critical but often-overlooked step to the healing process) Why they only use Ayahuascha at Rythmia Finding shaman who have the right calling and intentions & recruiting a team of shaman who come from different traditions Integrating plant medicine with breathwork What happens if someone experiences a “bad trip” at Rythmia Rythmia is the only medically licensed facility using plant medicines in the world (but, hopefully, not for long)   Topics Discussed With Gerard: Why plant medicines are so effective as a form of rehab for addicts How Gerry became a self-described “world-class ass hole” before hitting rock bottom – and how plant medicine helped him change the way he experienced life The shaman who changed Gerry’s life Sometimes endless money just gives you an endless supply of things to kill yourself with Gerry’s conversations with the moon (yes, that moon) & what the moon has to teach us about healing ourselves Surrendering to the plant medicine & receiving awareness in return The spiritual mentors and thought leaders that are drawn to and endorse Rythmia Why they chose to use Ayahuascha at Rythmia, although Gerry first used Iboga How Gerry integrates the lessons he learned from the Moon into his life, every single day   More about this episode.
