478: The Red Pill Revolution: Exposing The Illusion and Hidden Agendas with Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty

Why are alcohol and tobacco legal, but psychedelics outlawed? Why are antidepressants handed out like candy? Why is something as addictive as sugar promoted on the “healthy eating” guide? We are constantly reminded that our noble leaders and institutions are busy working on solutions. Surely, the scary world of today must give way to a future of peace and prosperity... someday soon! But of course, it never happens, does it? New wars are justified, countries are bombed, citizens flee around the w...

477: Metabolism Makeover: How Ketones Optimize Metabolic Health with Michael Brandt

What if I told you our metabolism is under attack? 88% of Americans are “metabolically unhealthy.” 75% of Americans are overweight or obese. 34% of Americans are pre-diabetic, and 9.4% are diabetic. Metabolism, or the body’s process of converting food into energy, is vital to our health. A strong metabolism can help promote better sleep, control mood, manage weight, and improve energy levels. An unhealthy metabolism can have the opposite effect. People who are metabolically unhealthy have less-t...

472: Inside-Out Anti-Aging: Unveiling the Secrets of NAD+ with Neurohacker's Dr. Gregory Kelly

Media, commercials, medspas and advertisements would have us believe that we need the latest facials, skincare, botox, filler and skin tightening lasers to anti-age ourselves and while I am no stranger to a facial, I would argue that anti-aging starts from within and that we have a lot more control over the cellular age of our bodies and our abilities to live longer stronger lives than we think we do. Chronic diseases claim millions of lives prematurely each year, striking indiscriminately acros...

470: Rewire Your Reality: How to Heal Emotional Pain and Transform Your Life with Core Wound Mapping

Have you heard of neuroplasticity? In simple terms, it's the brain's ability to change and adapt due to experience.

These changes range from individual neuron pathways making new connections to systematic adjustments like cortical remapping or neural oscillation. What it means for us is that when we feel stuck, we can break free by challenging ourselves to do something different, ...

464: How to Save Time and Money in the Kitchen and Go Vegan Effortlessly: Meal Planning, Batch Cooking, Budgeting, Recipes, Resources & Healthy Food Swaps

If you're surprised and frustrated by high prices at the grocery store, you are not alone. National data shows that grocery shopping and dining out are more expensive than ever. The latest data from the Agriculture Department shows consumers spent 11.3% of their disposable income on food in 2022. This means that Americans are currently spending more on food than they have in over 30 years. I'm certainly seeing this in my own life.
