Abel James Show

Advancements in artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the nature of human experience. So why is it important that AI not be bankrupt of ethics? What are the uniquely human qualities and characteristics we should carry with us into the future? And could popping a chip into our brain result in an immediate and irreversible deletion of our biology or even our humanity? AI will never be able to think with its heart or have anything to say of its own accord, AI doesn't care if what it's saying is true or not. In the wrong hands, AI is a weapon of incredible power, and the dangers are very real. But as you'll see from today's interview, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the potential for AI to dramatically improve our lives and our future. So to bring some optimism to the conversation, I'm pleased to be here today with our friend, Matthew James Bailey, an expert on Artificial Intelligence, international speaker, founder of AIEthics.world, as well as author of the very timely book Inventing World 3.0. This show with Matthew is a doozy. We're chatting about: How artificial intelligence can be used to benefit the human species, both individually and globally Why we should never outsource our sovereignty to a machine Why new fangled brain implants could result in brain shrinkage, loss of cognitive ability, and the deletion of biology How AI can help protect us from deep fakes and untruths (and the importance of authenticating our sources) Why it's important that we define the values, skills and knowledge we want to carry forward for future generations (as well as what we want to leave behind) Ways AI can work as a personal guardian and digital assistant to help us achieve new levels of wellbeing in the future How to use AI and technology as a tool to increase our creative capacity And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/matthew-james-bailey-how-artificial-intelligence-can-benefit-the-human-species/  Head over to AIEthics.world for more from Matthew James Bailey, including his book Inventing World 3.0: Evolutionary Ethics for Artificial Intelligence, more on ethical AI, Research and Development,  Leadership Training, Master Classes and much more.

How can we get the most out of our genetic potential? Breakthroughs in science, research and epigenetics show us that we're not simply stuck with the genes we inherited from our parents. In fact, it's lifestyle factors like nutrition, movement, mindset and our environment that truly control the way that our genes are expressed. These simple choices we make every day snowball to create vitality and longevity or ill health and disease depending on how you live your life. So if you're interested in finding and treating the underlying causes of ill health instead of just chasing symptoms, this is the show for you. I'm honored that joining me on the show today is Dr. Jeffrey Bland, a world-renowned Nutrition Medicine Expert, Clinical Biochemist, founder of Big Bold Health, and bestselling author often called the “Father of Functional Medicine.” I think you're going to enjoy this one. We're talking about: How to get the most out of our genetic potential Ways to find and treat the root cause instead of just chasing symptoms How to turn back the clock by rejuvenating your immune system Why the gut is considered the second brain Surprising ways that artificial ingredients affect us Why the future of personalized medicine is looking very bright And much more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/dr-jeffrey-bland-how-to-get-the-most-out-of-your-genetic-potential/  Get videos, books, articles, downloads and more from Dr. Jeffrey Bland at https://JeffreyBland.com as well as https://BigBoldHealth.com  Join The Wild Guild and get freebies on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abeljames  Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman  Follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fatburnman Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus 

You know that feeling when your stomach turns into a bottomless pit? Even if you read food labels like a hawk, sneaky appetite-stimulating ingredients can be lurking in spices, sauces and other foods without ever being included on the label. In fact, there are a number of ingredients food manufacturers aren't required to disclose that might jeopardize your ability to moderate food intake. So if you've ever found yourself mindlessly shoveling evermore food into your mouth without satisfying your hunger, propelling you into a vicious cycle of overeating, crashing and feeling wobbly for the rest of the day, this is the show for you. After teaching people how to make delicious food from scratch for many years, today's guest is starting a food revolution with her real food sauce and spice company, and she’s here to share unique insights into what exactly food manufacturers are hiding in widely available store-bought foods. Returning to the show is the wonderful and talented Anna Vocino, a best-selling cookbook author, voice-over talent, stand-up comic and co-host of the Fitness Confidential podcast with our friend, Vinnie Tortorich. Anna has voiced thousands of commercials, cartoons, movies, promos, radio stations, and video games, which is her super cool day job to support her passion of food blogging and cookbook authoring. In this conversation with Anna Vocino, we're chatting about: The surprising truth about what's NOT listed on ingredient labels Why the simplicity of “No Sugars, No Grains” works out so well for so many people Why we should buy from our local farmers as much as possible What continuous glucose monitoring experiments revealed about fried dry starches vs boiled starches Anna's homemade Magic Bullion recipe for a delicious, clean flavor-starter How to say “no” when robots try to take our jobs away (it's already happening) And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/anna-vocino-why-food-labels-lie-and-how-to-say-no-to-robots/  Get Anna Vocino's organic, no sugar Sauces and Spices by visiting EatHappyKitchen.com and learn more by heading over to AnnaVocino.com.

When was the last time you felt anxious, depressed or stressed out? If you're thinking “Right now! This moment. Today, yesterday, most days,” you're definitely not alone.  It happens to everyone. You get stressed, you start breathing wrong, and the day gets away from you. Most of us would agree that we've never seen people, especially in the western world, more sick and stressed out than right now. And more and more, it's unfortunate to see the younger generation suffering. Our tech-heavy environment is simply out of alignment with our genetics, but there's plenty we can do to correct that imbalance. And the good news is that it only takes a few minutes to calm your mind, find your center and get into that flow state where everything becomes effortless. And to show us how, today, I'm honored to be here with Lee Holden, a doctor of Chinese medicine, author and internationally celebrated Qi Gong master who has devoted over 25+ years to helping others learn and benefit from the powerful principles of Qi Gong.

Thanks so much for joining us on Fat-Burning Man where we talk about how to avoid becoming The Borg. Have you ever measured the dirty electricity and electromagnetic pollution emanating from your smart devices at all times? You don’t need me to tell you that modern humans are tethered to technology to an astonishing degree. But for unspecified reasons, electromagnetic frequencies, or EMFs, and the many health issues that they create are too often hidden from the conversation. Do you keep your phone in your pocket or use your laptop on your lap? We are the first humans ever to microwave our nether regions on a daily basis. That is no bueno. So what effects do EMFs really have on our bodies? The answer will raise a few eyebrows. And we have the perfect guest for you today. We’re here with Justin Frandson, an author and Athleticism Performance Coach who has worked with amateur and professional athletes for over two decades. After watching his athletes’ health break down, Justin began to test clients in their homes for dirty technology and now works to help reduce EMF pollution for optimal health. If you use a phone, have a WiFi router in your house, or any smart devices whatsoever, you’ll want to listen to this show. We’re talking about: Surprising ways artificial EMFs impact our health and what to do about it Tips for minimizing dirty electricity in your home Invisible stressors contributing to low testosterone and infertility The dangers of high tech green energy  Why you should never put your laptop on your lap Easy ways to save cell phone battery and avoid surveillance marketing at the same time And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/justin-frandson-surprising-ways-artificial-emfs-impact-our-health-and-what-to-do-about-it/ For curated health and performance products from Justin Frandson, head over to Athleticism.com.
