Abel James Show

Have you ever thought about selling everything and traveling the world?

Returning to the show this week is Mr. Gary Collins, a man who did just that. Gary has a unique and fascinating background in military intelligence, and as a Special Agent for the U.S. State Department Diplomatic Security Service, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

These days, Gary teaches people like you and me to break free of conventional wisdom to practice true health, freedom and self reliance.

If you feel overwhelmed by bills, debt, or even social media, this episode is definitely for you.

Can good productivity habits contribute to other good habits, like eating well and getting outdoors?

Today, we have a special bonus episode for you. In this surprise livestream Q&A, you folks asked me whatever you wanted related to health, music, and even virtual reality.

I'm your Huckleberry.

And in today’s show, I’ll be sharing one of my favorite tools that has helped me since I was an overachieving pre-teen, and continues to pay big dividends in productivity and in art to this day.

Since we finally have internet again up here in the mountains, hopefully I'll be streaming quite a few more of these live Q&A sessions in the months ahead.

Did you know your gut is responsible for producing about 90% of your serotonin, one of the leading neurotransmitters that can help generate (or negate) happy thoughts? In fact, some researchers now call our gut our "second brain."

There’s a lot going on in that gut of yours.

Today we’re here with Dr. Michael Ruscio, a clinical researcher and bestselling author whose work in the world of gut health has been published in peer reviewed medical journals.

Even though we’d met before, I was re-introduced to Michael by our mutual friend, Robb Wolf, who says, "Mike is one of, if not the most knowledgeable practitioner in the world on the topic of gut health, both what the research says (and does not say) as well as the clinical applications.”

What do Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson all have in common?

Today, we’re here with Don Saladino, one of the most in-demand and respected trainers in Hollywood. For over 20 years, Don has coached actors, athletes, musicians, and titans of business. Scarlett Johansson, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman, and David Harbour are just a few names of clients he’s trained recently.

Today Don’s going to spill the beans on topics that will definitely raise some eyebrows. Including the fact that he gets shredded eating over 500 grams of carbs a day.

Is our phone and technology addiction now a serious health issue?

Returning to the show this week is fellow podcaster, co-director of the California Center for Functional Medicine, and New York Times best selling author, Mr. Chris Kresser.

For a man so knowledgeable about health, Chris’ non-dogmatic approach to wellness can be refreshing.

Did you know that up to 90% of Americans are not getting enough of the nutrients that are critical for healthy functioning?

What’s worse, these nutrient deficiencies can compound over the years and may continue to cause issues for decades to come.

To help us all sort it out, we’re here with Dr. Mark Hyman. Dr. Hyman is a practicing family physician, the director of Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Functional Medicine, and an 11-time number one New York Times best-selling author.

Were our childhood heroes, like He-Man and Captain Planet, jacked up on steroids?

We’re here with Noelle Tarr and Stefani Ruper, co-hosts of the Well-Fed Women Podcast and authors of the brand new book Coconuts and Kettlebells, to get to the bottom of all of this.

If you’ve ever suffered from body image issues, disordered eating or even exercising too much, this episode is definitely for you.

Noelle is a nutritional therapy practitioner, an NSCA certified personal trainer, and a new mom. And Stefani Ruper is a past guest of the show, creator of PaleoForWomen.com,  and author of Sexy by Nature.
