The Life Stylist

Have you ever wondered why your doctor never asks about your diet, or lifestyle when you walk in with an issue to solve? And why if you have an illness or disease that their approach usually involves giving you drugs, or cutting a part of your body off/out? Have you ever thought about why modern medicine tends to treat the symptoms of a disease, rather than cause?In this episode, we take a look at the world of functional medicine. In so doing we uncover a slew of myths and erroneous ideas about health and fitness. We're constantly brainwashed with misinformation about our health by mainstream media, which is primarily funded by advertising dollars from the pharmaceutical and (junk) food corporations. You’ll likely be shocked to learn the multitudes of scientifically verified truths about so many of our false, yet commonly-held beliefs about fat, cholesterol, calories, and weight loss that have been perpetuated on our culture by these greedy industries.Dr. Justin has been worked in the trenches with thousands of clients, helping them to unlearn many of these false assumptions, and to recover their health by addressing the root causes of disease and illness while treating them with dietary and lifestyle changes, coupled with vitamin, and herbal supplementation.Functional medicine is medicine that works. You’re about to find out how and why.If you know someone with health issues, please do them a favor by sharing this episode with them, in hopes that they might be inspired to find a doctor who uses this highly effective methodology in their medical practice.Thanks for listening, and for fighting for truth and justice in our broken medical system.HELP SUPPORT THIS SHOW!Starting and growing a podcast requires a ton of time, energy, and money.

Could you eat the products you put on your skin without getting sick? Not sure? Well, you should be. Your skin is your largest organ and is meant to eliminate toxins, not absorb them. In this episode we uncover the dirty industry secrets in the skin and beauty product industries, and how to avoid them. Heads up to the bros in the audience: You have skin too, and it’s just as important that you take care of it as it is for the ladies. It might just be high time for you to embrace ‘Bro Beauty’! Our guest is my homeboy Andy Hnilo, who brought himself back from a near-fatal accident, using natural healing, supplements, herbs, and biohacking technology. He eliminated terrible facial scarring from the injuries he sustained in his accident, and as a result ended up formulating some of the most pure and potent skincare products in the world. His homemade formulas worked so well that he decided to start his company, Alitura, based on recipes he created, and perfected for himself. Andy’s story is a classic, and a truly inspiring tale of the applying mental alchemy to transform a great tragedy into a blessing, not only for himself but for the legions of people he’s been able to help with his unique product line. Sometimes in the middle of the storm, it’s so difficult to see the lesson on the other side. Thanks to courageous souls like Andy, who live to tell the tales of redemption- we can all learn how to summon the will to overcome life’s challenges gracefully. If you know someone who needs some inspiration right now, please share this episode with them.HELP SUPPORT THIS SHOW!Starting and growing a podcast requires a ton of time, energy, and money.

Did you know what the #1 supplement in the universe is for health, longevity, energy, healing, detoxing, and maintaining a youthful appearance is entirely free to all sentient beings on the planet? It’s this thing called sleep. Yep, it’s true. It’s that simple. Well, sort of. We in ‘modern’ Western culture have all but ignored this vital nutrient for the greater part of this century, but thanks to much recent research and media attention many health and wellness advocates are finally giving sleep its due consideration.The problem remains though that most people have no idea how their sleeping environments and sleep hygiene habits are preventing them from truly experiencing deep, restorative sleep. You will be shocked to find out to what degree chemicals, dust mite feces, bedroom electronics, toxic bedding and mattresses, un-natural lighting, and dirty air are interfering with our natural human sleep patterns. In this episode with sleep guru Claus Pummer, we'll learn all of the bedding industry secrets, as well as the science behind the long lost art of sleep. Do yourself and someone you love a favor and share this episode with them, that together we might help the world achieve a higher level of happiness and fulfillment by learning how to simply rest the way nature intended. To your health,Luke

Is your home eco-safe? Meaning does it support your health and healing? It’s supposed to right? It’s intended to be the place you go to rest, seek shelter, and regenerate from the stress of daily life right? Well, what if your home is making you weaker? If so, how can you make it supportive to life, rather than destructive? The trick is to simulate nature inside your home, using technology. You’re about to find out how.In this episode, I talk to fitness expert and biohacking extremist (like myself) Ben Greenfield. Ben has taken his Spokane, Washington home, and turned it into the ultimate nest of health and well-being.I grill Ben on every minute detail of his home hacking project, whether it be the water, air, or EMF mitigation. If you want to learn how to make your home into a healing center, this episode is for you.In addition to the house hacking theme, Ben also drops major knowledge bombs on tons of health and fitness related topics. So even if you think you’ve got your crib dialed, you’re absolutely going to want to give it a thorough listen if you’re into optimizing your own human meat suit.Thanks for listening, and please do someone you know a favor and share this show with them right now.Heres to YOU!Luke

Your body is roughly 60% water. Your brain around 75%. What kind of water are your body and brain made of? Did you know that tap water is one of the most toxic (and in my opinion, disgusting) substances that you can put in your body? What’s so bad about it you might ask? Below are just a few of the common contaminants we discuss in this episode. Keep in mind that in most major cities the municipal water is recycled, so just imagine that anything and everything that people flush down the toilet or drain end up back in the water supply. Sure, it is sanitized with more chemicals to disinfect it, but the much of the residue from all that nastiness remains in the water you’re making your baby formula with, brushing your teeth with, or worse yet- drinking.Check this out, but before you do place your hand under your chin to avoid having your jaw drop and hit the ground. Lubrication and semen from used condoms Birth control pills Viagra Lead Fluoride Anti-depressants Hair dye chemicals Dry cleaning chemicals Ammonia Radiation from chemotherapy Need we go on? Are you getting the idea? But you only drink “filtered” water right? Well, unfortunately, many of the most poisonous compounds in water are tough to get out. Or perhaps you don’t even drink filtered water because you know that. But what about the water you cook with, bathe yourself (of your child) in, and all of the bottled drinks you drink contain mostly “filtered water”? How about that soup you had at the Thai spot last night? Tap water. The ices cubes in your team from Starbucks? Tap water. The water in your hot tub or swimming pool? You guessed it. Tap water. The stuff is everywhere, and it’s nearly impossible to avoid. Many popular bottled “spring water” brands are also just overpriced tap water.So what do we do??In this interview, I take an in-depth look at these issues with water expert Igor Milevskiy, and I promise you will walk away with some very effective solutions that you can quickly and somewhat easily apply.Do the humankind a favor and share this episode by tweeting it, Facebook posting it, or just emailing/texting it to a few of your family members and friends. There is a solution, but only if we build awareness, and stop relying on the companies who sell us the water to tell us the truth.To your health and happiness,Luke

Why do we fall in love? What’s the point? Is there a higher purpose underlying our relationships that makes all of the challenges and heartaches worth the effort? Have you ever considered the idea that the reason we form intimate partnerships is to apply spiritual principles, and encourage the advancement of our own soul’s evolution? And even if we do set that as our intention, why do we seem to miss the mark so often, and walk away wounded, full of regret, or worse yet- repeating the same destructive patterns over and over again? How do we create and maintain polarity between the masculine and feminine energies which we all possess?In this compelling interview with legendary author and relationship expert John Gray, we explore the fundamental role our spiritual goals and values play in our romantic connections. We learn how to contextualize our relationships from a spiritual perspective, and how impactful our hormonal balance is when it comes to healthy communication and in having the capacity to live and grow together in harmony and fulfillment. It turns out that without and understanding of how our male and female hormones affect us (and how to manage them) it could be near impossible to get along and stay together.This was one of the most powerful interviews I’ve done personally, so it brings me great joy to share John’s message with the world.Do someone you know a favor and share this episode with them, in hopes that we all might come to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the ones we love.Blessings to you and yours,Luke

Do you think yoga is just a form of exercise? A way to get more flexible so that you can show off your awesome pretzel poses on Instagram and win the approval of your peers or potential mate? What if that’s not the point of yoga at all? What if yoga is in actuality a powerful tool for spiritual enlightenment- a way to escape the limiting clutches of our human ego? How can chanting mantras, breathing in strange patterns, and moving your body in various geometric shapes change your consciousness? Is this a bunch of woo-woo, new age bollocks or can yoga put us in touch with who and what we truly are, beyond our basic instinctual drives, and limited intellect? Can we tap into the infinitely vast power and intelligence of creation to help us with our day to day life lessons here on the human level? The answer, fortunately, is affirmative. Based on my subjective experience with Kundalini Yoga over the past five years, I’m happy to report that my mind, body, and spirit have been (and continue to be) enriched far beyond anything I have experienced in over 15 years of various forms of yoga practice, from LA to India. In this exclusive interview with my teacher Tej Kaur Khalsa, we take an in-depth look at this ancient spiritual technology with one of the world's foremost experts on- and devotees of- this wonderfully powerful tool of transformation. This episode was one of the most meaningful to me personally, and I trust that it will deliver the same joy and insight to you, the listener. Thank you for sharing this journey with me, and please do someone you love a favor by sharing it with them.Blessings to you and yours,Luke

Are you able to hypnotize yourself and instantly neutralize eruptions of fear and anger? Have you mastered the art of healing your body of deadly tropical viral infections? Sound impossible? If you know as much as today's guest Tony Wrighton about NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and biohacking, such feats are not only possible but easily learned by most people.  Tony’s a good friend of mine, and the host of one of my favorite podcasts called Zestology, which has been crushing the iTunes ratings in the health category lately. He’s also a presenter on Sky Sports in the UK and the author of 3 books on NLP. In this episode, Tony and I have a powerfully inspiring chat about how he's healed himself and changed his life for the better using many of the same principles and health and personal development that I've used to transform my own life from a living hell into a wonderfully fulfilling adventure.  Don't forget to share this episode with someone you love who's also interested in designing the ultimate lifestyle!To your health and happiness,Luke Storey

Have you ever considered sexual contact as a spiritual practice? Did you know that there is a worldwide movement based on using the sexual energy created by clitoral stimulation as a tool for spiritual growth? Yeah seriously. Having been a devoted meditator for many years (as well as a pretty big fan of orgasm!), I was immediately intrigued when I first heard about this practice known as “OM”, or Orgasmic Meditation. Needless to say, I had to try it right away and promptly took a weekend course as soon as I could. What followed was an experience I’ll never forget.After my training, I tracked down today's guest Eli Block, one of the top teachers of OM in the US. In this interview, we discuss not only the purpose and technique of Orgasmic Meditation, but also human sexuality, intimacy, relationship skills, and the possible dangers of pornography.I’ve got to issue a spoiler alert for this one: If you’re squeamish about graphic sex talk, you might want to skip ahead to episode 11, because you’re about to hear two men discuss sexuality as if no one else is listening. It's pretty intense.My hope in presenting this episode is that we all come to a deeper understanding of not only ourselves, but the people we love.Enjoy it, and do the world a favor by sharing this with a friend.Thanks for supporting The Life Stylist mission of health and happiness. Luke Storey
