The Gabby Reece Show

In this week's bonus episode, Elijah Allan-Blitz and I delve into the expansive realm of artificial intelligence and its multifaceted influence on our lives. We discuss the rapid growth of AI, its impact on our social skills and communication, the current applications of AI in healthcare, and AI mastering complex games through machine learning. Outside the human realm, we dive into the fascinating world of animal communication, where AI serves as a tool for decoding the languages of whales, baboons, and dolphins.

Amidst the technological marvels, we reflect on the human experience, emphasizing the significance of cultivating communities and tribes. Drawing parallels to the human experience, we reflect on the interconnectedness of technology and our innate need for genuine connections.

The episode concludes with a thoughtful exploration of staying present and in tune with ourselves amidst the ever-evolving landscape of AI and technology. Join us as we navigate the intersections of technology, humanity, and the future. Enjoy!

My guest today is Jaiya, a sexologist and the creator of the five erotic blueprint types. If you're interested in taking the quiz before listening to this podcast, you can go to www.blueprintbreakthroughquiz.com. Jaiya and I talk about sex, taking ownership of who you are sexually not only to enjoy yourself but to be more fully who you are. I often find that sex is something we talk about as something separate or something we do behind closed doors or in the dark, instead of having a healthy and open conversation. Whether you are single, dating, or in a long relationship, this is an inspiring and eye-opening conversation.

Jaiya and I are very different in so many ways, so we are able to cover a lot of ground in the ways that we approach sex and its role in our lives. With 30 years of experience, she has seen just about every dynamic there is. I also learned through this conversation that many of the ways we express ourselves sexually as adults are connected to our education or lack of education around sex, or trauma as children.

Jaiya shares how she and her long-term partner Ian navigate their sex lives through the seasons of long relationships, creating a family, and making changes as individuals. Enjoy!

My guest today is physician and New York Times best-selling author, Dr. Michael Greger. Dr. Greger has written multiple books, such as "How Not to Die," "How Not to Diet," and now his latest book, "How Not to Age." In "How Not to Age," he will provide you with some of the best information for boosting your longevity.

His realistic and approachable techniques to improve health, manage weight, and avoid chronic disease are tailored for the busy person simply trying to get it done and navigate a universe of information. Dr. Greger sticks to the science when presenting suggestions but shares it with deep passion, hoping that we all feel and be our best.

Dr. Greger is clear about honoring people making their own choices, but he wants to make sure that we understand enough about health and nutrition to make the right choices for us. He shares a ton of simple takeaways, whether it's negative pre-calorie loading when we're eating or using exercise to get into autophagy versus fasting.

This is a man on a mission, so much so that all the profits from his books and speaking engagements go to running nutritionfacts.org, where there are thousands of free videos filled with content to help share the best nutritional and lifestyle information possible. They present and create new content every day. Enjoy.

My guest today is Layne Norton. Layne has his PhD in nutritional sciences and is an IPF world champion. As someone who has coached over 2,000 people in person and has an intense scientific approach, Layne shares why he thinks it is imperative not to separate our psychology from our physiology. We dive deep into the reasons that keep people from making changes in their lives, whether it's fitness, nutrition, or buying into building new habits.

Layne's ability to focus on dealing with what is the most important issue at hand first before trying to navigate fine-tuning one's health can be the most impactful way to approach creating change. Believe it or not, this is a guy who's not afraid of 7-Eleven or a little ice cream. Whether you are a natural bodybuilder or someone simply trying to "fit it in," Layne Norton is an incredible resource for navigating our nutrition and exercise lives. He even created Carbon, an app that can support whatever your goals are, whether it is losing weight, adding muscle, maintaining, or changing your exercise and workout life altogether. Enjoy.

Sidenote: If you want to get super sciency and geeky, I would encourage you to listen to Layne's podcast with Andrew Huberman and another with Dr. Peter Attia. Each show is over three hours long, and these gentlemen get very granular.

My guest today is the American Director, producer, and cinematographer Louie Schwartzberg. Louie is recognized as a pioneer in high-end time-lapse cinematography, and his latest film, Fantastic Fungi, displays the magic of Louie's work. We dive deep into Louie's passion for seeing the beauty and connecting with nature. He shares his positive experiences with psychedelics that have brought him closer to himself and the world around him.

He has been shooting time-lapse flowers 24 hours a day for over 30 years, and now his work is being used in conjunction with treatments for trauma, along with guided, psychedelic journeys. He once said in a TED talk that "beauty and seduction are nature's tools for survival because we protect what we fall in love with." Enjoy!

My guest today is author and teacher of the method of self-inquiry known as THE WORK, Byron Katie. This is an interview I have wanted to do for several years because Katie is someone who has personally taught me and my family so much. I admit that trying to contain her and the work program into a linear conversation is pretty funny.

Having a version of her own awakening close to 40 years ago, Katie shared that four questions kept coming to her:

1. Is it true?

2. Can you absolutely know it's true?

3. How do you react? What happens when you believe that thought?

4. Who would you be without that thought?

I wouldn't even begin to try to simplify the profound impact that Katie's four questions have had on my own internal dialogue and the stories that I tell myself. She shares in her belief that our human suffering happens within the mind, and that her desire to help us be free from suffering is a big part of her mission. Being able to liberate ourselves from the memories of the past and the anxious anticipation of the future, even if just for moments, can have a profound impact on our lives and relationships. Enjoy.

My guest today is author and performer Colin Campbell. In 2019, Colin and his family were driving near Joshua Tree when their vehicle was T-boned by a drunk and high driver. Colin and his wife were in the front seat, and their two teenage children were in the backseat. His 17-year-old daughter, Ruby, and 14-year-old son, Hart, were killed in the crash.

From the excruciating grief and suffering, Colin wrote his latest book, "Finding The Words," and his one-man shitshow. He looks directly in the face of rage, grief, denial, and trying to live when living does not make sense. This book shines a bright light on all corners of what people may experience through deep grief. It is not only a way for people to feel understood or seen but for supporting friends and family to know how better to support the people grieving.

Each situation is personal, and there is no perfect science, but Colin does a beautiful and thorough job addressing many of the scenarios people may encounter. He shares some of the things they did, like keeping a “hate us” journal and writing an email before you head back to work on some ground rules. Colin addresses dealing with “firsts” and holidays. He shares that you are never out of the woods but can find ways to keep living and maintaining relationships while still honoring those that you have lost.

Colin speaks of his and Gail's journey of fostering and adopting children. His courage and humor are both inspiring and shocking. His work is stunning. The dedication and love he and Gail have for Ruby and Hart shine eternal.

My guest today is New York Times bestselling author Michael Easter. Michael joins me on the show to discuss his latest book, "Scarcity Brain," and how we can fix our craving mindset, rewire our habits to thrive with enough.

Michael shares how a natural biological phenomenon can be a biological mismatch in today's world. He gives incredible suggestions on how to break the cycle of doom scrolling, constant craving, and a relentless drive for more of everything: more food, more money, more alcohol, and more approval.

You may know Michael from his previous book, "The Comfort Crisis," and now he is back for more with personal stories, practical guidance, and a realistic approach to navigating our day-to-day lives in a healthier and more fulfilling way. Enjoy!

My guest today is Oscar-winning actor and author, Matthew McConaughey. Matthew shares his inspiration for his latest children's book, "Just Because," and dives deep into the subject of parenting. Matthew shares the many lessons he has learned as a father of three and husband to his wife, Camilla, and what he continues to work on.

These conversations always remind me that most of us are navigating pretty similar things when it comes to love and relationships. Enjoy!
