What if everything you thought you knew about fitness was wrong? Imagine if much of the effort you've exerted in the gym over the years turned out to be a waste of time? Have you ever been disappointed by your muscle gain or fat loss efforts? Or perhaps you've ignored the issue altogether because you didn't identify with the bodybuilding jocks and meatheads who seem to make up the majority of gym culture. No matter what your level of knowledge, experience, or even interest in the world of fitness is, our guests Sal Di Stefano and Adam Schafer from the mega-hit podcast MindPump and are here on the show to deliver the most epic, myth-busting interview ever. They've spent their entire adult lives relentlessly researching and testing every workout and fitness supplement on the planet, and have determined what's effective, safe, dangerous, and in some cases downright BS, and during this interview, they pull no punches when it comes to delivering the raw, uncut truth. With the availability of so much misinformation and continuously evolving scientific research, you owe it to yourself to listen to this cutting-edge report on the current state of affairs in the world of fitness. By the end of this marathon double episode, you'll not only gain a broad understanding or your body, and what forms of exercise best serve it, but you'll also likely laugh your ass off- which also happens to be excellent for your health. Welcome to the wild world of MindPump. Time to get swoll. -Luke PS: Hey, do me a huge favor? Please leave a rating and review in iTunes. Apple has now made it super easy finally!

Are you a woo-woo, or a skeptic? Do you buy into the world of crystals, psychics, tarot cards, and astrology, or do you find the lack of 'proof' in such practices a barrier to entry? Our guest Ruby Harrington has built a career as the visionary curator behind The Numinous, a content platform based on all things mystical and esoteric. What makes Ruby and her message different from the average sage burning, Sedona-dwelling fairy duster, however, is her unflinching commitment to reality. In fact, Ruby's book Material Girl, Mystical World has served as a modern-day guide to all things spiritual for thousands of discerning seekers from all over the world. In this episode, you'll get a backstage pass into the vast landscape of spiritual practices, and concepts Ruby has explored for the past 20 years. She has a gift for making the unknowable easily understandable and applicable, and during this fun and far-reaching conversation, Ruby makes an excellent case for exploring the aspects of life that exists beyond the linear dimension. If you're already on board with matters of the spirit and want to take your understanding to a deeper level, Ruby is your girl, and this show is sure to hit home. But even if you're still standing on the sidelines of the astral circus with your arms crossed, and your mind cautiously poised in doubtful curiosity, you’ll likely find yourself pleasantly surprised by the ease with which you'll be able to join in on this romp into the void of modern mysticism. Don't forget to pass this episode along to a friend, whether they be on either side of the new age fence. Either way, you'll be doing them, the world, and the show a great service. Here's to your higher self, Luke Topics Discussed on Today's Episode:    How Ruby summons the courage to leave her job in fashion and Journalism, and pursue her dream and true life’s purpose How to become unembarrassed regarding one’s own spiritual beliefs and really own the path that you’re on How are we conditioned as a culture to believe material success will make us happy, and why we often turn to drugs and drinking to overcome that inevitable disappointment The difficulty in avoiding drinking too much in the fashion industry Why British culture tend to be skeptical about spirituality The value of hitting a spiritual bottom vs. just being curious about such things How to deal with imposter syndrome and self doubt How to navigate the issue of mixing money with spirituality Do crystals actually do anything?

This unique 'Bootleg Broadcast' episode of the show is a live recording of a recent talk I gave in West Hollywood California, to celebrate my 100th episode of The Life Stylist Podcast. Having devoted the past twenty-plus years of my life to spiritual growth and metaphysical understanding, it seems that the next phase of my journey is naturally guiding me down the path of sharing my experiences with live audiences, as an inspirational (albeit reluctant) teacher of sorts. This raw, unedited live recording is my second-ever public talk, witch attempts to tackle the sometimes challenging topics of god, ego, and spiritual liberation.  After receiving such an abundance of positive feedback on my recent debut presentation at Cap Beauty in NYC, and constant requests for more spiritually-based content, I've decided to put this show out as an exercise of courage and vulnerability. If there's one thing I've learned in my first year as a podcast host, it's that people want the truth. They want something real. And the paradox of that fact is that the more open I become about my spiritual life, the more people relate to it and derive hope and inspiration from my experience on the path to enlightenment. But why should we care about the spiritual part of life anyway? What's the point? Ask yourself the following questions, and you may arrive at a place of curiosity, if not a legitimate desire to know more. Are you able to find peace in your pain? Can you reach and maintain a level of surrender in your life to the point that you rarely get rattled by the day to day stresses of the human experience? Do you control your mind, or does it control you? These are but a few of the questions I attempt to tackle in this introspective episode. Although this particular lecture is highly spontaneous and meandering, there are a couple of consistent themes, such as: How to escape the pain of the ego mind by walking through the inevitable pain in life The importance of strictly avoiding negative, thoughts, deeds and actions The  immense power of self-love and acceptance How and why I started the podcast, and how it has served my personal development and evolution I hope that this talk and ones like it which are likely to follow can provide a light-hearted and accessible approach to living a spiritually-centered life. The beautiful thing about finding salvation is that we are each free to do it in our way, and are open to choose whichever path best suits our current level of development and understanding. May you find god in whatever form gives your life meaning and fulfillment. Luke For more about this episode Topics Discussed: I begin by taking the crowd through Breath of Fire warm up- one of my top Kundalini yoga practices We do what I call Alpha wave “surfing" to encourage production of flow state, bliss and positive emotions How my own suffering gave me the willingness to change, and my journey from rebellion to humility How this  podcast became my vehicle for sharing my experience, but most of all, my personal growth and expansion The difference between the higher self vs. ego self, and how to determine who’s controlling your life The fantasmagoria of the mind, and how most of what it tells you isn't even real How to curb neurosis and knowing that you must understand how the mind works, and learn to see through it’s falLacious beliefs Unplugging from the mind matrix and how the key to freedom begins with awareness The concept of thought-fasting and other perspective-changing techniques to deflect negative thoughts, blame, and self deception How to build your own internal gym for mental fitness, using mindfulness, meditation and self-awareness Why it’s so important to feel our painful feelings, and how to process them quickly, and with intention The fact that positive influence happens through attraction, not promotion, and how it’s pointless to try and control or influence others Q&A with audience MY 90-DAY LIFESTYLE DESIGN COACHING PROGRAM Your opportunity to work with me one-on-one.

In this episode I had the distinct pleasure and honor to sit for a highly elevated chat with one of my favorite spiritual teachers and world renowned authorities on meditation, Sharon Salzberg. She started meditating the year I was born (1970), so it goes without saying that she had some profound insights with which to enlighten our listeners. Sharon has an exceptional gift for making somewhat esoteric Buddhist teachings accessible to the masses. If you’re someone who has struggled finding meaning and application in spiritual and religious teachings, but knows deep down that you are missing out on a more rich experience of life as a result, this episode might just be the bridge you need to cross the existential gap. On the other hand, if you’re a veteran meditator and feel as though you’ve got this whole ‘mindfulness’ thing down, you will no doubt be pleasantly reminded of some basic, yet easy to forget universal truths. During this interview Sharon shares endless nuggets of simple, yet powerful wisdom that she has derived from all her years of spiritual work and teaching. From hanging out with the Dalia Lama, to sitting for thousands or hours of meditation (around 15,000 by my estimate) Sharon has unlocked the secrets to happiness, fulfillment and peace in our sometimes chaotic and confusing world. If you’re ready to take your consciousness to the next level, sit back and join me and Sharon in this guided meditation, followed by a profound, yet funny and irreverent conversation about life between a student and teacher of sorts. Please take a moment to think of one person you know who could use some help embracing a spiritual perspective on life, then share this very special episode with them. Alternatively, if you feel like everyone in the world could use a bit of enlightenment, go the extra mile by posting this show to Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. You’ll be doing me, Sharon, yourself, and the world a great service. May whatever you call god bless you, Luke Topics Discussed on Today's Episode:   We talk about the fact that she’s been meditating exactly as long as I’ve been alive What it was like for her to travel to India for her first 10-day Vipassana meditation, and why she went the route of the buddhist tradition, while so many of her contemporaries leaned toward Hindu-based teachings Why she never chose to take on a special spiritual name, or wear guru costumes, and how she has managed to avoid the trappings of a spiritual ego The value in taking a ‘householders’ approach to spirituality Then Sharon treats us to a short ‘idiots guide to Buddhism’ where she breaks down the origins of the tradition and some of its teachers Why she still chooses to live in NYC some of the time, and what value a big city holds for spiritual growth Her views on social media and device addiction The fine line between making a positive contribution to the world and being a fanatical activist How she has discovered the path to freedom from the mind, and why she’s devoted her life to teaching it The fact that in life pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional We explore the idea that mindfulness is not passive, but rather surrendered action How to become free of negative attachments What is the hungry ghost, and how we can avoid being trapped by our desires How reincarnation effects our lives Sharon’s views on the value of the 12 Steps Program We talk about Real Love, her 10th book and what role compassion toward ourselves and others plays in our lives Lastly Sharon gives us her prediction on where the current spiritual movement is taking us, and how she’s hopeful for the future state of mankind’s evolution Lifestyle recommendations For MORE about this Episode WATCH IT on YouTube!

Do you know anyone with Lyme disease or autoimmune issues? I do. My mom. It's devastated her life over the past 20 years. I'm determined to find a solution and based on what I discovered in this interview; I may have finally done just that. Keep reading.... Lyme disease is the fastest growing vector-borne, infectious disease in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 40 percent of Lyme patients end up with long-term health problems, according to the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society. The average patient sees five doctors over nearly two years before being diagnosed. Short treatment courses have resulted in upwards of a 40 percent relapse rate, especially if treatment is delayed. This disease sucks. And so do most of the solutions available to those who suffer from this debilitating condition. This is where our guests Aaron and Geneva Bigelow come in. Aaron, Geneva and one of their daughters used to suffer from debilitating Lyme symptoms. Over the course of ten years, Aaron was pledged by the disease. He tried all kinds of natural as well as medical healing modalities and spent 100's of thousands of dollars on treatments like ozone, and cleansing, to no avail. Having traveled the world seeking a solution to their family's decade-long challenge with this life-threatening disease, they ultimately stumbled across a technological solution to help address Lyme-related symptoms, including co-infections, autoimmune conditions, and other health challenges. By following the principles of nature, they created AmpCoil, a unique and powerful device that merges PEMF, biofeedback, bioresonance, Tesla and sound technology into an all-in-one wellness system for home use. This episode is the harrowing story of one family's journey from the depths of hell into one of health and happiness. It's a tale of courage, determination, and ultimately liberation. As you will hear in this heartfelt account of the Bigelow's story, Aaron and his daughter are now symptom-free, and as a result, Aaron and Geneva have dedicated their lives to helping other sufferers find a way to get their lives back. Please take a moment to think of anyone you've known who's been unfortunate enough to contract Lyme or another similar disease, and share this inspiring and hopeful episode with them. To your health, Luke Topics Discussed on Today's Episode:   Aaron Tells the story about how Lyme appeared in his life - and his daughter’s and how he tried all kinds of healing modalities and spent 100s of thousands of dollars on treatments like ozone, and cleansing, to no avail How he went from being barely mobile to being able to paddle board around Lake Tahoe My mom’s own horrendous journey with Lyme disease The ways in which Lyme affects your brain and mental health How the tick bite actually happens, and how to detect it We discuss whether or not Lyme can be transmitted from person to person sexually and through bodily fluids Why antibiotics can be ineffective in getting rid of Lyme, and how it depletes your immune system and causes other parasitic and co-infections Aaron’s many failed attempts to treat his disease, including seeing John of God in Brazil, and how he almost lost hope so many times How Aaron’s health started to turn around through the use of a combination of Biofeedback, Bioresonance, vibration, sound frequencies, and pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) Why technologies that harness the power of nature are so effective in bringing the body back into balance The reason astronauts bring PEMF devices into space, and why I bring them on airplanes The miracle of Cymatics: how sounds and vibration effect water, including the water in our bodies How Aaron was eventually led by his intuition and experience with energy medicine to create the AmpCoil with a team The difference between rife technology, and the AmpCoil How the modified Tesla coil creates a toroidal fountain of energy that engulfs you, and penetrates every cell in your body with sound frequencies - even brain cells, which is where Lyme is often hidden How voice recognition technology can be used to analyze and identify imbalances in the body Geneva describes the AmpCoil process of Cleanse, Shift and Transform How wellness tools like the AmpCoil can help people cleanse themselves of pathogens, toxins, heavy metals, and parasites, which are widely believed to be at the root cause of most autoimmune conditions How AmpCoil is working with the Wellness For Humanity Foundation to help people with Lyme get the care they need Lifestyle recommendations For more about this Episode   MY 90-DAY LIFESTYLE DESIGN COACHING PROGRAM Your opportunity to work with me one-on-one.

Warning: This episode contains adult language. Proceed with caution. Are you in touch with your sexuality? Does your level of understanding go beyond knowing what you do and don't like in the bedroom? Are you aware that each person has an erotic blueprint, and if you have a partner, do you know theirs?

In this special episode, our guest and world-famous sexologist Jaiya breaks down human sexuality in a way that is not only ground-breaking but also very easy to apply and understand. In addition to presenting her framework of sexual types and preferences, Jaiya also enlightens listeners with her views on pornography, chemistry, seduction, sex addiction, and even how to biohack your sex drive and pleasure potential with aphrodisiac herbs. This episode will not only awaken your sexual curiosity but will also leave you with the tools you need to ensure that your future romantic interactions are the most pleasurable and mutually fulfilling experiences imaginable. Please share this episode with one friend who could use some more sexual pleasure in their lives and relationships.

Do you like yourself? If so how much? Can you go so far as to say that you genuinely love and accept yourself? Do you have the level of success on the material plane that you feel you deserve or are you continually struggling to measure up to your self-imposed expectations, only to fall short repeatedly? Have you ever contemplated the degree to which the results you achieve from your daily efforts in life are directly and exclusively dictated by your subconscious opinions of yourself? Did you know that it’s possible to change your relationship to yourself, and create one that truly honors who your are, in your most authentic expression? Our guest Lacy Phillips is going to show you exactly how your past trauma led to your current shame, and how and why you might just be your own worst enemy in the struggle to create a life of meaning and fulfillment. She's spent years examining and overcoming her personal limiting beliefs and teaching others to do the same. Lacy provides us with a roadmap by which to dismantle the hidden walls which keep us in predictable, repetitive patterns of playing small and not living up to our highest potential. In this episode, you'll get the recipe to Lacy's secret sauce of success, and learn not only how to identify exactly what thoughts and habits are holding you back, but also how to use the power of manifestation to create the life you were indeed born to live. There is a life of pure freedom and abundance available to us all, as long as we're courageous enough to walk through the shadows to discover it. So get out your flashlight, and get ready to start doing some deep explorations into the recesses of your consciousness, as we exit the matrix of falsehood and enter the great reality of your innate potential. Please take a moment to share this episode with one friend who could use some support and encouragement in their life.

What do Zombies, bikers, and god have in common? Our guest Jeff Kober is a man with that answer. He's a veteran Hollywood actor, who's appeared in dozens of television shows and films (including The Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy), all the while practicing and teaching meditation and Vedic philosophy. He also happens to be my personal spiritual mentor and teacher. In this truly epic and enlightening episode, Jeff shares his insights on the entire creative process of being an artist, and how to avoid letting the ego rob you of a fulfilling experience of honest self-expression. He describes how he uses his 30 years of meditation practice, and his many pilgrimages to India to not only fuel his success as an actor, but also to manage and guide his entire life. During these two hour-long episodes, you will learn how to apply deeply esoteric spiritual practices into your daily life, no matter what particular belief system you belong (or don’t belong) to. Jeff has an uncanny ability to translate his vast body of spiritual knowledge and understanding of god into straightforward and relatable terms. It’s pretty awesome. By the end of this episode, you will quite possibly make peace with the existence of evil here on earth, and find a means by which to recontextualize your subjective and worldly experiences of suffering into valuable lessons. For, after all, most of what we each see and feel each day are merely projections of the mind and ego. Jeff is going to teach us all how we can learn to disidentify with those parts of ourselves that are not real and get grounded in The Ultimate Reality. Sit back and enjoy the journey from your mind to your heart. Please pass this show along to someone you know who could use some simple answers to life's most complicated questions.
