Life seems to be governed by a bunch of cycles with peaks and troughs. You may be familiar with the circadian rhythm: our sleep/wake cycle that is governed largely by the timing of light exposure. But have you heard of your physical, intellectual and emotional cycle? 

The theory was developed by Wilhelm Fleiss in the late 19th century and gained popularity in the 1970s. Since then the idea of biorhythms has sustained an array of hit pieces questioning its validity and calling it a pseudoscience. Could it be that tools, especially free tools, that we can use to empower ourselves are suppressed and talked down upon?  Tiffany Barsotti received her Master's of Theology in Energy Medicine and has integrated biorhythms into her practice with clients in combination with biofield readings. In this interview she describes what biorhythms are, the three different cycles, what the criss-crosses mean, and how we can use them to improve our lives.

Have you ever heard of heart rate variability (HRV)? It is the measurement of the time between your heartbeats. The more varied they are, the more resilient the nervous system is. Breath is one way to tap into your nervous system and find balance in stressful times. In this episode Adam Hart shares his story and the tools that he used to bring his life back into balance. Through his organization Clear Impact he helps people find their weakest link that is impacting their health and upgrade it.

According to the Mayo Clinic 1 in 3 men will experience premature ejaculation at some point in their life. This issue can seriously harm a relationship by not meeting the needs of the partner. 

Primal sex expert Zander Holt talks about the causes of erectile dysfunction and the role that modern day alpha inhibitors play in the puzzle, especially pornography. He shares biohacking tips of how to increase performance and staying power, how to overcome guilt around sex, where nutrition plays a role, and more. 

I ask him questions that listeners sent in including: Dangers of pornography? Is there such a thing as too much sex? What are the best foods and supplements to support the libido? How to process sexual trauma? What are his thoughts on NoFap? How to last longer? Why can’t some women have orgasms?

What does a healthy relationship with food look like? Is it restriction and starvation or balance and nourishment? Did you know there are more than two branches of your nervous system and most people are stuck in the third one? What role does food play in regulating the nervous system?

In this interview they answer the questions above and share a lot of practical information that one can implement and immediately improve their overall quality of life.

The first documented use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT, was in 1662. It didn’t gain traction until the 1930s when the US Navy began using it to treat scuba divers with decompression sickness (the bends). 

Since then, there have been over 800 clinical studies conducted on the therapy, with benefits ranging from treatment of chronic wounds, infections, mold exposure, autism, traumatic brain injury, stroke, diabetes, and more.

Dr. Scott Sherr is an integrative medicine practitioner that has been studying HBOT for over a decade. He utilizes HBOT, methylene blue and other modalities in his practice to help bring people back into balance and improve their quality of life.  In this interview he talks about neuroplasticity, hypoxic inducible factor, EZ water, mitochondria and oxygen overall as it works in the body. He also clears up a lot of the misconceptions about hyperbaric oxygen therapy.  Scott Sherr's website: https://hbot.plus/ www.integrativehbot.com My chamber: https://henshawhyperbarics.co.uk Mention my name to save $ Order Blue Cannatine or Just Blue methylene blue: https://www.troscriptions.com/?rfsn=3792577.b0695c Use the discount code BLACKBURN to save 10% My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Order Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Use the discount code FIRSTTIME to save 15% on your first order Music by George Henner https://georgehenner.bandcamp.com

When you heal on a specific program it is easy to get stuck on one paradigm and become rigid in the way that you live your life. Health is a lot more than nutrition, so rigidity can breed disease and imbalances. 

Kourtney Simmang healed herself from migraines, ADD, PCOS, Hashimotos, Epstein bar, and more using a metabolically supporting approach to health and not restricting macronutrients. Whats more impressive, having come out the other side, she maintains a balanced approach and doesn't mind bending the rules every once in awhile.

In this interview I ask Kourtney several questions from listeners including: What is a good strategy for hyperthyroidism? How to increase a woman's sex drive? What is an ideal breakfast, lunch and dinner? What are the best foods for fertility and pregnancy? Be sure to tune into this one!

A lot of people are eating predominantly unstable polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) instead of stable saturated fatty acids. Most people are consuming PUFAs orally and slathering PUFAs all over their skin!

PUFAs are long chain molecules that contain multiple double bonds. They are very prone to oxidation by heat, light and oxygen. What happens when someone applies PUFA-laden products to their face and then goes out in sunlight? They oxidize and contribute to accelerated aging of the skin! They also speed up the formation of lipofuscin or age spots.

Stephanie started a skincare company called Kossma with all of this in mind. She created products that not only aren't harmful but help to reverse damage that's already been done by PUFAs. In this interview she explains the different skin types, the truth about parabens, why to use caution with essential oils, and more.

When people talk about omega-3 fatty acids they often point out the ancestral history of them in human nutrition. Native Americans are often referenced as having fish in their diet as a staple. According to Atom Bergstrom and his research into the Apache tribe leader Geronimo, it wasn't! Indigenous people knew the difference between saturated fats and unsaturated fats.

In this episode we talk about protein sparing with carbohydrate consumption, bodybuilding, terrain theory and more!

In the final episode of the year I get vulnerable and share my thoughts about spirituality and specifically Christianity. Late last year an unexpected series of events led me down a rabbit hole of researching religious trauma, purity culture, the physiological harm that guilt and shame causes, the danger of anticipating an end-of-the-world scenario, and a final judgment.

Similar to going from raw veganism to raw primal, many people are going from new age straight to orthodox christianity. I believe that happened to me and many others. There are psychologists such as Dr Darrel Ray that work with people specifically to heal from religious trauma that was literally stressing them to death.

As I mentioned in the title, I still love Jesus, but I’m questioning the dogmatic views that people cling to and use to attack others that don’t believe the same things. Divide and conquer has always been the game to keep humanity enslaved. Religion is a great tool to use for that because people police each other and hold each other down and prevent healing and growth.

I no longer believe in original sin and that from our first breath we were born imperfect. In the show I talk about the book that I’m reading that gives an alternative take on the garden of eden Genesis story and what it was all about. I am not flawed and I feel no guilt for being alive and breathing.
