What happens when a culture forgets how to initiate its youth?

In the absence of rites of passage, adolescents are left to create their own—often through drugs, risk, and rebellion. I know because I was one of them.

In this bonus episode from Wax On Wax Off, I reflect on how addiction became my initiation in a society that offered me no meaningful map for becoming a man.

I share the full arc of my journey so far: from early trauma and substance abuse, to the structure of recovery communities, to becoming a “bio-healer” to repair my mind and body from the damage done, to sharing my passion for discovering the most effective tools for healing with the larger world.

This conversation’s especially poignant because my precocious host Solomon, at 17 years old himself, is standing at the threshold of adulthood. His sincerity and presence provided the perfect forum to unpack my childhood trauma and my long and circuitous path to recovery. It also gave me the chance to drop some hard-won wisdom on avoiding the pitfalls of life that nearly destroyed me.

I’m thrilled to welcome back two dear friends and pioneers in the world of consciousness technology—Clayten Stedmann and Jeffrey Stegman, co-founders of Focused Life-Force Energy. These guys have been on the show several times before, and in this in-person conversation, we go deeper than ever into their groundbreaking work broadcasting high-consciousness fields across the globe.

Jeffrey shares how their connection through consciousness coaching evolved into a powerful collaboration, turning a small service project into a global movement touching lives in over 85 countries. You’ll hear about the mechanics of FLFE—from how their system identifies and broadcasts to specific addresses or objects to the deep spiritual and scientific principles it’s built upon. We also cover their ongoing research with major institutions, including clinical studies on EMF mitigation and resilience, and how their technology is being validated by cutting-edge statistical analysis.

Whether you’re a seasoned biohacker or just beginning your journey into the unseen realms of energy and consciousness, this episode is packed with mind-expanding insights. I’ve used FLFE for years, and I can tell you—it’s not just theoretical. It’s transformational. Visit lukestorey.com/flfe to start your free 15-day trial.

We’re back with another listener AMA episode, and this one goes deep. As always, it’s just me and my amazing wife, Alyson Charles Storey, sitting down to answer your most heartfelt, curious, and courageous questions.

We touch on everything from consciousness expansion and unconditional love to near-death experiences and the spirit of addiction. I open up about my journey with drugs and alcohol and what it took to finally surrender—and how I view the energetics behind substances and the way they can open (or erode) our fields.

Whether you’re on a healing journey, wrestling with an old pattern, or just love hearing two people process the real stuff in real time, this episode is packed with gems. Thank you to everyone who submitted a question—we see you, we love you, and we’re honored to walk this path together.

In this episode, I sit down with the extraordinary Tricia Eastman, a traditional Mestiza medicine practitioner, Bwiti initiate, and author of Seeding Consciousness. With over a decade of experience working with plant medicines like ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT, Tricia brings rare insight into the intersection of ancestral wisdom and modern psychedelic healing.

We dive deep into the significance of indigenous-led biocultural preservation, how plant medicine can reconnect us with our spiritual roots, and what it really means to walk a path of initiation. Tricia shares her powerful story of healing from an eating disorder, and how her own encounters with sacred medicines led her to a life of global service—from facilitating retreats with special operations veterans to founding the nonprofit Ancestral Heart.

Whether you're curious about iboga, exploring sacred sexuality, or seeking deeper purpose, Tricia brings the kind of grounded wisdom and integrity this space desperately needs.

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic stress, poor sleep, anxiety, or burnout—this episode might just change your life. I’m sitting down with Jim Poole, CEO of NuCalm, to explore the groundbreaking neuroacoustic technology that’s helping thousands of people around the world reset their nervous systems—without drugs or side effects.

Jim explains how NuCalm works at the intersection of physics, mathematics, and neurobiology, using patented algorithms and biosignal processing to guide the brain into states of deep relaxation. We get into how it’s used to decelerate brainwave frequencies, balance the autonomic nervous system, and bring the body back into homeostasis. This is next-level nervous system hygiene, backed by clinical research and used by elite athletes, CEOs, Navy SEALs, and trauma survivors alike.

We also talk about the physiological mechanics of stress, the importance of vagus nerve stimulation, and why breathwork, cold plunges, and psychedelics often fail to address the chronic baseline tension most of us live with. Jim shares insights on trauma recovery, why traditional talk therapy can fall short, and how we can retrain the brain to unlearn suffering.

This conversation was incredibly eye-opening. If you're looking for a safe, effective, and science-backed way to reclaim your mental clarity, energy, and sleep—NuCalm might be the missing link.

I finally sat down with Melissa Kupsch, founder of RMDY Collective, to dive into a healing modality that’s long been overlooked on this show—homeopathy. Melissa brings a powerful mix of personal story, clinical experience, and spiritual insight to this conversation. We talk about the foundational principle of homeopathy (like cures like) and how highly diluted natural substances can stimulate the body’s vital force to heal. She shares how a single remedy transformed her sister’s life-threatening condition and recounts her own mind-blowing detox after taking just one dose.

We get into the suppressed history of homeopathy, from its origins in the 1700s to its widespread use in US hospitals—until the powers that be saw its potential and shut it down. Melissa explains why homeopathy poses a threat to the pharmaceutical model, how remedies are made, and what makes them so powerful—even though there’s "nothing" in them.

Beyond the science, Melissa speaks to the spiritual and emotional healing that unfolds when the vital force is restored. If you’ve ever been skeptical about homeopathy—or curious about why it’s been so marginalized—this episode will open your mind. I walked away more inspired than ever to dig deeper into this ancient, energetic form of healing.

I’m back with the luminous Cru von Holtzendorff-Fehling, a gifted soul reader, healer, and one of the most tuned-in beings I know. Cru has an extraordinary ability to read the energy systems and soul blueprints of others, and her deep understanding of the human energy field is matched only by the warmth and humility she brings to her work.

In this intimate and vulnerable conversation, we explore the transformative power of 5-MeO-DMT–also known as bufo, how our energetic anatomy works, and how trauma, conditioning, and egoic patterns disrupt it; plus, shadow work, integrating darkness, and how accepting every part of ourselves is the path to wholeness.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by sensitivity, or curious about the deeper layers of energetic healing, this episode is a masterclass in becoming who you really are.

Today’s guest is Aleks Rybchinskiy, a truly gifted somatic therapist, Master CHEK practitioner, and co-founder of Primal Fusion Health. Aleks is a living example of what it means to be in harmony with your mind, body, and spirit—and in this conversation, he shares the blueprint for reclaiming your primal vitality in a modern world that often strips it away.

We go deep into the power of breath, movement, cold exposure, and emotional integration, not as hacks but as sacred rituals rooted in lineage and wisdom. Aleks also breaks down how trauma is stored in the fascia, why movement and somatic work are essential to healing, and how working with sacred plants or extreme environments like ice baths can be potent catalysts when integrated responsibly.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by life, or out of sync with nature—this episode will serve as both a wake-up call and a roadmap back to wholeness.
