We are excited to have Dave Feldman joining us as our guest for today’s show. Dave is a Senior Software Engineer who became obsessed with cholesterol after seeing his levels rise on a ketogenic diet. That led to his observation of the “Lipid Energy Model” to help explain these changes, and he has since conducted over fifty experiments that demonstrate rapid changes of lipid levels using this new understanding.
Dave has done some very interesting work. He admits to being a bit obsessed with cholesterol, which is a synthesized organic molecule that binds every single cell in our bodies. He describes it as “the intellectual property of the animal kingdom”. In this episode, he talks to us about what opened up his interest in cholesterol, what cholesterol represents, and how it works in the body. He also discusses how the cholesterol paradigm has shifted, the effects of a ketogenic diet on cholesterol levels, and he explains his Lipid Energy Model. Dave can dilute the very complicated information about cholesterol and makes it accessible, so stay tuned to find out all you need to know about cholesterol, lipids, and triglycerides.

His passion is to help his patients and clients achieve the highest quality of life possible, and realize their health, performance, and longevity goals.
Sleep is a pain point for so many of us. Doc Parsley is the sleep guru, and in this episode, he talks about his journey from being a Navy SEAL to becoming the sleep guru, the purpose of sleep, sleep hygiene, what happens to you when you sleep, and how sleep impacts your cognitive function.

We are delighted and very excited to have Wim Hof joining us today! Wim is known as The Iceman because he is an extreme athlete who can withstand unbelievably cold temperatures.

Wim has a lot of wisdom to share, so be sure to stay tuned today to learn about his unique method for coping with stress naturally.

We are excited to have Dr. Kedar Prasad on the show with us today! He is a youthful and very knowledgeable eighty-five-year-old gentleman who attained the world’s first Radiation Biology Ph.D. in 1963.
Dr. Prasad holds patents on the radiation defense benefits of micronutrients. He has published 29 books and over 250 peer-reviewed scientific papers on micronutrition, including papers on radiation defense with micronutrition.
Dr. Prasad has been a professor at the University of Colorado Medical School for more than thirty years and is the Director of Vitamin and Cancer Research. He is also a member of the British Royal Society of Medicine, an invited member of the Nobel Nominating Committee for Candidates in Medicine, and former President of the International Society of Cancer and Nutrition.

Misinformation about radiation and EMF is abounding at the moment. Dr. Prasad has invested his life in coming up with answers, and he is with us to give us a message of hope and positivity.
Dr. Prasad and Dave are joining us on the show today to educate us and to help us understand what electromagnetic frequency fields are. They explain why EMF radiation is a concern with the growing technology of 5G, what electromagnetic frequency fields do to our bodies, how to protect ourselves proactively against EMF radiation, and how micronutrients work to protect us from the inside out against damage from 5G EMF radiation. Stay tuned to find out more!
The Story Behind the Micro Daily EMF Product
Dr. Prasad has formulated a micronutrient product that has a rich history of science behind it. In 2001, he was approached by the US Department of Defence while they were getting ready for the Afghan war. The US military was collaborating with the Russian Federation at the time because of their experiences in Afghanistan. The Russians had had positive experiences with antioxidants with their troops in Afghanistan. Those troops were healing and performing better than troops without antioxidants, so the US military also wanted to have a supplement for the US soldiers. They picked Dr. Prasad as their expert, and in 2001, they began an almost six-year process with Dr. Prasad conducting fourteen clinical studies to validate the foundational formula that is in the patent-pending Micro Daily EMF product. The product is safe to use, and none of the ingredients in it interact adversely with either prescription or non-prescription drugs.
