Can You Really Bombard Your Home With Invisible, Healing Energy Frequencies? A Skeptical Interview

I recently outfitted my house with some kind of weird, invisible energy called Quantum Upgrade . What's crazy is that as soon as I "flipped the switch" to turn it on (you'll hear more about how and why I did that in today's show), I couldn't sleep for nearly three days straight, so I'm pretty sure I turned it on too high. But after I adjusted it, I started to notice a profound increase in daytime energy levels, a drop in afternoon sluggishness, and an overall feeling of improved mood and well-be...

7 Minute Breathhold Instruction, Multi-Orgasmic Breathwork, DMT Activation, How He Rescued The Homeless With Breathing & Much More With Travis Steffens Of "The Breath Source" App.

I’m a big fan of breathwork as a free and highly effective method to control your nervous system, performance, sleep, and much more. The problem is (and perhaps you’ve noticed this) most breathwork apps are heavily secular, a touch “New Agey,” and tend to avoid encouragement of a deeper connection to God or Jesus Christ. In other words, they’re spiritual but not religious, bro. And look, while I certainly use and enjoy such apps, I’ve always thought it odd that there were no good breathwork sess...

Unveiling the Molecule That Supercharges Your Mitochondria, Turns Back the Clock on Aging, and Battles Sleep Deprivation, With Dr. Anurag Singh from Timeline Nutrition.

You may have picked up on this if you're a regular listener, but there's this molecule that I've been pretty jazzed about over the past year: Urolithin A . It's found in tons of the best superfoods, like pomegranates, walnuts, and raspberries, and it's emerging as a serious player in the longevity and age-reversal space, sitting alongside stalwarts like NAD, C6 0 , Astaxanthin , Spermidine , Fish Oil , peptides , stem cells. Yet, I've realized that I haven't dug into the nitty-gritty about Uroli...
