  • 188 The Light Diet with Matt Maruca

    Just when you think you have it all figured out! You may be not getting enough sunshine, and too much artificial blue light.

    Our bodies are barraged by harmful blue light everyday and every night, harming our body's ability to make melatonin that help repair our mitochondria when we sleep.

    Don't worry though, Matt Maruca has a plan.

    When asked "What have you put in your body today?" his answer is totally unexpected. Matt Maruca is the owner fo Ra Optics, makers of the world's finest blue blocking glasses (seriously they're awesome). But beyond blocking harmful blue light, he's developing a protocol that will help you take your performance to the next level.

    In today's episode Matt casts a wide and deep net, covering a number of topics including the work of researchers in the area of deuterium depletion. He reference's the work of Dr. Jack Kruse, Dr. Laszlo Barros, Dr. Alexander Wunsch.

  • OPP 184 How to Read Your Bloodwork PLUS Insurance Alternatives with Dr. Elena Zinkov

    I recently visited Doctor and Author Elena Zinkov at Proactive Health Clinic near Seattle to go over my blood work.

    Why should you care?

    Most MDs don't have the time and aren't incentivized to go through your blood work with you. And, since I'm a keto eating, nootropic taking, go-getter like you...I figured it would be helpful to go over Metabolic Panels, Lipid Panels, Sex Hormones and more.

    If you haven't done blood work in a while, GO DO IT! It's important to know your baselines. Use the first half of this episode to follow along with your blood work.

    The second half of the episode we cover cravings and how they're tied to our brain chemicals, health insurance alternatives (for all you entrepreneurs out there) and a lot more.

    Enjoy!
