Abel James Show

Would you like to experience smoother skin, fewer wrinkles and increased muscle mass?

How about reduced appetite, increased libido and deeper sleep with vivid dreams?

It all starts with re-populating your microbiome with the right kind of probiotics, specifically lactobacillus reuteri. And thanks to the work of one pioneering cardiologist, we're learning more and more about how to dramatically improve our gut health, sleep and even our outlook on life.

Our friend, the brilliant Dr. William Davis is back with some eye-opening insights. As long time listeners know, Dr. William Davis is a cardiologist, #1 New York Times best-selling author and health crusader whose best-selling books include the "Wheat Belly" series, "Undoctored," "Super Gut" and many more.

• How to repopulate your microbiome with good bacteria
• How to improve skin health, reduce wrinkles and rebuild cartilage in your knees and hips

Are you training for short-term results or for longevity? 

How can we train to not just avoid the hit, but to actually take the hit?

And most importantly, why deadlift when you can just get butt implants?

Today, I'm honored to be here with some of my heroes, Juliet and Kelly Starrett are co-founders of the Ready State and co-authors of the new book Built to Move. After decades of working with pro athletes, Olympians and Navy Seals, mobility pioneers, Kelly and Juliet Starrett wrote their new book to focus on long-term physical wellbeing for the rest of us mere mortals. 

As you'll hear on today's show, by rethinking your environment and working in easy, simple and enjoyable mobility exercises, we can train to be more durable now as well as later in life.

This is a fun one. On this show with Juliet and Kelly Starrett, we're chatting about:

• Why deadlifts are better than butt implants, despite what Instagram might tell you
• Why 5 to 10 minutes of daily mobility training compounds into huge wins over time
• How the white water rapids that flipped Kelly's raft eventually led to true love
• Why walking is prescribed to elite war fighters
• How to make stretching a fun pair bonding or family activity
• Why it's important to balance heavy lifts with mobility training
• How to set up your living and working environment for longevity

If you're not feeling and performing at your best, how do you identify exactly what's out of whack? 

When you're suffering from fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression, weight gain or disrupted sleep, tracking down the root cause can be nearly impossible on your own. 

And while the heavy-handed pharmaceutical approach can be useful for some conditions, a life sentence of taking drugs that just treat symptoms doesn't save the rest of your body from falling apart.

If you're looking for life-long health and quality of life, a supportive approach that identifies and treats the root cause and shifts your body into a healing state is essential.

So I'm pleased that joining us on the show today is Dr. Izabella Wentz, a New York Times bestselling author and integrative pharmacist, dedicated to finding the root causes of chronic health conditions. 

On this show with Dr. Izabella Wentz, we're talking about:

• How to restore balance in the body (especially for folks with Hashimoto's thyroid issues or auto-immune issues)
• How to adjust your diet to reduce inflammation
• Tips on optimizing your hormones
• The best exercises when you're wired and tired
• Why you should be filtering your water (this one is so important and so easy to overlook as well)
• How to use adaptogens to balance the stress response
• And a whole lot more…

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…

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.

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.

In this conversation with Anna Vocino, we're chatting about:

• 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

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. Holden has taught his practice to the NFL, NHL, Olympic athletes, royal families, and even Adam Sandler.

• Why a relaxed state achieved through Qi Gong will help you shed fat more efficiently
• Tips for longevity and antiaging from a 106-year-old teacher
