Abel James Show

On a scale of 1 through 10, how good is your sleep right now? (If you're not at a 10, there's a lot of room for improvement.)

If you want good health, you've got to get your sleep nailed down. Artificial lights from your phone, tablet or computer can mess with sleep, as can drinking alcohol.

Today's guest was more of a social drinker who decided to take a break from alcohol, and then life got a lot more interesting.

James Swanwick is the Australian-American entrepreneur, author, speaker, podcast host and co-founder of Swanwick Sleep who makes those cool Swannie glasses.

On this show with James, you’ll learn:

• The psychological effects of light (specifically blue light)
• How to socialize without drinking booze
• Simple steps to better sleep
• What taking a break from alcohol looks like for James (and me)
• And tons more...

Let's hang out with James.

Do you ever feel isolated and alone?

In these crazy times when we’re more technologically connected than ever, many of us can’t help but feel separated and somewhat detached.

It may feel like it's us versus the world, and unfortunately, social media and the internet don't seem to be helping.

To help us rise above the madness of today's world, we're here with Dr. Caroline Leaf.

Dr. Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology.

On with this show with Dr. Caroline Leaf, we're chatting about:

• How to shift from a threat mindset to an opportunity mindset
• Risks associated with loneliness and isolation
• What to do about toxic stress
• The placebo effect and how to use it to your advantage
• And tons more...

Let's go hang out with Dr. Leaf.

How much time have you spent outside today?

Hopefully, you're outside right now. But if you're not, I just want to say it's more important than ever to get outdoors, breathe some fresh air, take a break and enjoy some sunshine.

But according to a survey by the EPA, the average American spends 93% of their time indoors, either in enclosed buildings or enclosed vehicles.

Connection to nature shouldn't be something that's seen as dispensable, something that we can have or not have. It's an essential part of who we are.

That indoor air is stuffy and terrible. There's a lot of off-gassing in cars, rooms, carpets, paints, things like that. And breathing that bad air can actually shave years off your life.

So, to help us sort all of this out and keep things in perspective, we're here with one of my very good friends and former cross-country teammate from back in high school, Mr. Will McDonough.

Will is a dad of three, a runner, writer and teacher who never stops moving. And today he's here to share with us the importance of systemization, letter writing, and getting outdoors.

On this show with Will McDonough, you're about to learn:

• How to create time for your passions, even if you have 3 kids
• What it takes to write your first book or two
• How to run fast, even in your Tom Brady years
• The unique challenges facing the next generation of health nuts
• And tons more...

Let's go hang out with Will.

Can you imagine waking up one day then being diagnosed with a condition that puts you into a wheelchair for the rest of your life?

Although, Wikipedia lists Multiple Sclerosis as an incurable disease, today we’re here with a remarkable woman who was sentenced to a life in a tilt-recline wheelchair with progressive MS... and went on to defy her diagnosis and reverse her condition with real food and lifestyle intervention.

Today, Dr. Terry Wahls bikes to work, speaks all over the country, and teaches others how to heal conditions commonly considered to be untreatable with cutting-edge science and a healthy dollop of good old common sense.

Also joining us for this interview is Caroleen Moise, the producer and director of Defying All Odds, a new documentary featuring the story of Dr Terry Wahls' astonishing recovery from Progressive MS.

On this show you’re going to learn about:

• The body’s remarkable ability to heal itself and defy the odds
• Why more than a dozen new scientific studies are testing food as medicine
• The new documentary dedicated to Dr. Wahl’s journey from rebel to visionary
• And tons more…

Let’s go hang out with Dr. Wahls.

Did you know that selling raw milk is illegal in 18 U.S. states?

Much of the food our grandparents took for granted is now banned in what we call the land of the free. The argument? That processed food is much healthier and safer.

Thanks, government.

While you may get dizzy checking out the list of recent industrial food product recalls, due to contamination. It makes you wonder why raw milk is so very illegal in most of our country.

To help us figure this out, we're here with my very own raw milk dealer from Tennessee, Mr. Bradley Bleasdale.

My wife Alyson and I met Brad at the Cookeville Farmers Market when we lived in the Smoky Mountains a few years back. And after buying veggies and milk from him for a few months, he gave us some of the best fresh venison we've ever tasted in our lives. It was out of this world.

On today’s show with Bradley, you’re about to learn:

• How the ridiculous raw milk controversy ruined our Food Freedom
• Immune benefits of raw versus high temp pasteurization and homogenization
• The secret to the best tasting fresh venison in the world
• And tons more...

Let's go hang out with Brad.
