The Life Stylist

You are a being of light, literally and biophysically. 

Your cells emit biophotons, or ultra-weak ultraviolet light, which then trigger the process of mitosis. So the thing that we’re told causes skin cancer is the same thing that our cells are using to signal cell division, a foundational piece of biological function.

Our guest, Matt Maruca, is fascinated by seeming contradictions like this — when what we’re told by the leading authorities seems to contradict logic and common sense — and then he starts asking questions.

Matt’s investigation of light led him to founding Ra Optics, makers of the world's finest blue light blocking glasses, and creating The Light Diet, a diet that directly addresses the root of the modern chronic disease epidemic and mitochondrial dysfunction. But he’s not done yet, and today, we invite you to start asking some questions, too.

We need to start getting intentional about the light in our homes, in our workplaces, in our children’s schools, and in our cities — and we need to start doing something soon.

Because the battle between sunlight and junk light just might be the battle that decides the health of future generations. This isn’t just for you. This is for your mitochondria, your children, and your children’s children.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• Why you’re probably ejactulating too much & how ejaculation is diminishing the pleasure of your orgasms
• How Matt’s first appearance on this show changed the trajectory of his life
• The energy meditation practice that can help you cultivate your inner light
• Your body is a being of light — and there’s science to prove it
• How blue light debilitates your mitochondria
• There are three million people who in the U.S. who die every year to chronic diseases — and none of them need to, but we aren’t addressing the right problems
• Do hereditary diseases really exist?
• The missing link between chronic diseases, the epidemic of depression, and mass shootings
• How and when to eat if you want to lose weight (and why the way you’re eating now is probably causing you to gain weight)
• Junk food doesn’t make you fat (by itself) — junk light does
• Why Luke is eating a butter stick during this interview
• How artificial light is absorbed into every part of your body, not just your eyes, and what you can do to prevent it
• How we are destroying a generation’s physical development through smartphones and tablets
• Have an indoor lifestyle? Get ready for an indoor hospital
• Why windows are bad
• There IS such a thing as too much sun, but it’s pretty difficult to do — while most of us don’t get enough sun and are suffering for it
• Why you maybe shouldn’t have a kid if you don’t have a sex drive
• What The Light Diet is & how you can start integrating it into your life
• How to hack your morning routine to make The Light Diet easier
• Blue blocking software is great and you should definitely use it — but no software can eliminate all of the blue light from your screens
• How to make sure your food and water are supporting your health

ORGANIFI. I'm loving Organifi Gold, especially for my night time routine. It has turmeric, ginger, reishi, lemon balm, turkey tail and other rad superfoods, phytonutrients & pain-soothing herbs. My daily routine lately goes like this: in the morning I add it to my nut milk smoothie. At night when I want to chill out, I make a golden latte. I add the power and a healthy fat like ghee, coconut, or grass-fed butter to hot water and voilá! Great warm elixir, really chills you out, gently detoxifies and tastes awesome.

AND...

JUST THRIVE. Imagine this: a probiotic that actually does what it is supposed to do! I’ve tried so many different supplements, and when you find the right one — the one that really works — it’s like winning the lottery. So I was psyched when I tried Just Thrive Probiotic, the first and only spore-based probiotics and antioxidants. Their products have been the subject of groundbreaking clinical studies and demonstrated incomparable effects on the gut, even healing leaky gut. It’s super simple and it just works.

JOOVV. If you’ve been listening for a while or following Luke on social media, you’ve probably seen him raving about red light therapy, or photobiomodulation. There are over 3000 published clinical papers on light therapy – over 200 being double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled – making this arguably the most well-researched bio hack in Luke’s arsenal. Some of the benefits include increased skin health, better muscle recovery, better sexual performance, and reduced joint pain and inflammation.

Over the past 232 episodes, I’ve been your host and guide through the worlds of biohacking, spirituality, and personal development, asking some of the most profound and cutting-edge thought leaders out there what makes them tick — but, today, we’re flipping the tables.

Because past guest (and next week’s guest) Matt Maruca invited me to Rick Rubin’s world-famous Shangri-La studios, a recording studio used by the likes of Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Pete Townshend, Joe Cocker, Billy Preston, Ronnie Wood, Weezer, Metallica, and Kings of Leon. It was an honor to record at these same mics, a brief but welcome return to my rockin’ roots.

Matt invited me here to ask me some questions about my past, my trauma, my healing, and my future. I’ve talked about a lot of this before, but I’ve been looking at my life, and the experience of life in general, differently over the past few months; I have more awareness and presence than I had even just a year ago, and I’m still learning new things about myself and the world every day.

So, today, I invite you into my life, into my mind, to learn what makes The Lifestylist tick.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• Tetragrammaton: a four-letter sacred symbol; a way of saying God without saying God, as used in the Old Testament
• Becoming a child drug addict and then teenage rockstar during a dark period of Hollywood
• How drugs quite possibly saved my life — and how the process of overcoming drug addiction lead to The Lifestylist
• Going from simulating life to experiencing life
• Why I feel more high now, sober, than at any other point in my life
• There are no mistakes on the road to self-mastery — only lessons and teachers
• Escaping the physical symptoms of poor health and wellness
• Your trauma is valid
• Why I’ve been celibate for more than a year
• Who’s the one watching your thoughts?
• Why we may not need to eat vegetables
• No one wants to look like shit
• The art and energy behind fashion
• Podcasting as a personal growth vehicle

CANDOR. Having these long and deep conversations requires an intense amount of focus, and sometimes I try to use coffee to help me stay alert. But sometimes I get a little too hyped — and, honestly, it’s because I’m straight up ODing on caffeine (you can learn more about your relationship with cafeeine, you can check out Candor’s Caffeine Type Quiz). So I was stoked to find Candor, who make this delicious Coconut Matcha Nootropic Latte. It still has a little bit of caffeine, but combined with ingredients like green tea l-theanine, which is clinically proven to boost attention and mood when paired with caffeine. You can use code ‘LIFESTYLIST’ to get 10% off your new favorite coffee at ChooseCandor.com.

AND…

RA OPTICS. These Blue Blocking glasses are the premium level protection for sleep and health. They block the entire harmful blue spectrum and even most green up to 550nm to preserve your most powerful agent of health: melatonin. Ra Optics uses the highest quality lens technology in the most attractive frames on the market.

Dr. Mark Atkinson wants you to acknowledge that life has gifted you with a body and mind for the duration of your time here on this rock hurtling through space.

And how do you honor and show gratitude for a gift that you appreciate?

You take care of it!

A lot of the growing biohacking and self-development communities tend to focus on taking care of the physical body, but that’s just our vehicle through the human experience — it’s critically important that we also take care of our mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

That’s why Dr. Atkinson, founder of the Human Potential Institute, travels around the world teaching the world’s top performers how to manage and optimize their mind, wellbeing, and effectiveness through psychological fitness training.

Today, Dr. Atkinson will teach you how to start a psychological fitness practice, working with your body and mind in a way that allows you to serve life and for life to creatively move through your cells. It all starts by tuning up your body-mind vehicle, but real progress and development only comes when you delve into the psychological, the spiritual, or what Dr. Atkinson simply calls life.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• Psychological fitness is a way of being in the world in which you’re present, open, aware, engaging in reality, and doing what matters
• Why CEOs, executives, and elite athletes turn to Dr. Atkinson to learn what he knows about psychological fitness training and personal development
• Curiosity may not be great for cats, but it’s a transformative perspective for human beings to use when approaching life
• A plant medicine experience that changed the course of Dr. Atkinson’s life
• Spirituality likes to vilify the ego, but Dr. Atkinson teaches us why we actually need to work with it to achieve greater awareness and presence
• You have thoughts — but that’s not who you are
• How you can get everything you need to overcome life’s challenges, no hacks required
• The critical difference between spiritual transcendence and spiritual bypassing
• Learning to change the channel of your awareness
• Evolving from Victim Consciousness to Victor Consciousness
• Is there a way to prevent the deep suffering caused by childhood trauma?
• What happens when we refuse to turn towards the what we are experiencing and engage life
• The trap of getting stuck focusing solely on physical health
• The purpose of community
• How we’re losing our children and societal structure
• A roadmap towards realizing your potential
• When you’re doing anything, ask yourself: am I doing this consciously or compulsively?

Today’s episode probably never would have happened if it weren’t for a car accident that occurred during my trip to Rythmia in Costa Rica — a moment of serendipity and synchronicity that I am, looking back, grateful for.

Because that shared experience started my conversation with Alix Goldsmith Marcaccini, who runs Cuixmala, which is both one of the most beautiful and ecologically sustainable vacation destinations on the planet.

Cuixmala — which means “the soul’s resting place” — is an oasis in the center of the 30,000 acre Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve. Here, the line between luxury and nature dissolves. The estate was originally built by Alix’s father, Sir James Goldsmith, an influential British businessman who became disillusioned with corporate life and dedicated himself to ecology. And environmentalism is still at the heart of Cuixmala today.

A sprawling biodynamic farm provides 90% of everything served on the estate, while wild animals are protected and roam freely. And integrated into all of this is otherworldly architecture that only serves to highlight the diverse surroundings: postcard-perfect beaches, rocky bluffs jutting out into the Pacific, lush jungle, sweeping savannah, or coconut palm groves.

Cuixmala is a little slice of paradise in the middle of a chaotic world. It’s an effort to do a little good for the planet as our species slowly destroys it. It’s a unique opportunity to enjoy the height of luxury while also getting in touch with the spiritual side of yourself that can only reveal itself in nature.

It’s something you really have to see for yourself.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• Why Alix’s father, Sir James Goldsmith, built Cuixmala
• Sir James Goldsmith’s astounding ecological efforts & confrontational relationship with the press
• Transitioning from organic to biodynamic farming
• No piece of nature is unimportant—even a single baby turtle—which is why we made sure every baby sea turtle made it to the ocean safely while I was visiting
• The craziest thing that Alix has ever seen on the property
• Alix’s three natural childbirths (two on the Cuixmala property)
• Why is conventional food “organic” but artificially-created food is just “food”?
• The difference between being organic and bio-dynamic
• A psychological and spiritual perspective on farming and the cycle of life
• Alix’s journey with plant medicine
• The most outlandish requests that Alix has had from her guests
• Why Alix is motivated to contribute and create a positive impact on the planet, even though she doesn’t really have to

Mood changes, irritability, depression, anxiety, fatigue: these are not simply symptoms of illnesses that we should all medicate and suppress — these are symptoms of the human experience.

And our souls get the most out of our experience here on this rock hurtling through space when it is forced to confront and work through mental, emotional, and physical pain. This is how we grow. This is how we find who we are.

So, today, we’re talking to holistic psychiatrist and returning guest Dr. Kelly Brogan, who is willing to stand up to the Pharma Mafia and Big Tech censorship in an effort to change the way we understand and approach mental health and ourselves.

And Kelly has a ton of incredible insight in her brand-new book, Own Your Self: The Surprising Path beyond Depression, Anxiety, and Fatigue to Reclaiming Your Authenticity, Vitality, and Freedom.

In the book and this episode, Kelly invites us to come on a journey of finally coming home to ourselves and shows us how we can alchemize crisis into growth — and I am so excited to take this journey with her.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• When we do and don’t have sovereignty over our own bodies
• Alchemizing crisis into growth
• We’re not that different — but we have different defenses
• The link between brain damage and vaccines
• Kelly’s pharmaceutical “red pill”
• Getting past the victimhood model
• The dangers of deplatforming Alex Jones
• Pharmaceuticals aren’t the wrong answer for everyone — but they’re definitely not the right answer for everyone, either
• Choosing side effects over effort
• The obscurity of Google search algorithms
• Perpetuating the idea that there’s a bad other
• Beginning the process of walking towards ourselves
• The balance between commitment and choice
• The realm of belief Vs. the realm of science
• The connection between psych meds and mass shootings
• Your invitation to join a pharma-free life
• Psychoneuroimmunology

I invite you to join me as we travel through space and time, back to the beautiful island of Mallorca, Spain, where a room full of truth-seekers and Life Stylist listeners joined forces in the exploration and ascension of spirit at Ra Ma Festival, where this solo show was recorded live on location.

In this episode, we’ll be taking a dive into the lecture portion of The High Love Experience, a transformative workshop designed to help you break free of the judgemental mind and find your soul’s true power.

By using present moment awareness, scientific prayer, and the power of your breath, you will learn how to access your true identity hidden behind the false self and how to live a life motivated by the power of unconditional love.

We learn to numb this high love experience throughout the process of growing up, through the trauma-filled process that is being human – but, today, I want to help you unlearn some of that programming and break through the internal barriers that were erected between you and your higher self.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• Have you ever felt like there’s no purpose to life?
• Being a human being is inherently traumatic
• Breaking free of the slavery to our own minds
• The good and bad parts of the ego
• Where the highest experience of love comes from
• Our choices in Earth School
• Pain and suffering as a driver of experience
• Self-awareness & surrender
• We still have to stand up for ourselves
• Utilizing your higher self’s will
• Scientific prayer

If you regularly feel stressed out, overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, or tired – that isn’t just a symptom of modern society, although there is an epidemic of lethargy and our collective mental health is on the decline. You can change the way you experience the world, without quitting your job and moving into the middle of nowhere (as nice as that might sound some days).

To solve modern problems, though, I often think the best solutions involve going back to ancient wisdom; there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel when our ancestors have already figured out tools and techniques we can use to overcome overwhelm. So I think there’s a lot of value in looking at how we can apply ancient wisdom to our modern times.

One of these ancient techniques is called Yoga Nidra, an Ayurvedic meditation practice that’s sometimes referred to as “yogic sleep.” And if you watch someone practicing Yoga Nidra, it does look like they’re asleep, but it’s a bit more than that – it’s a meditation designed to lure your body into a state of consciousness that’s between being awake and being asleep, and it has transformative potential in our busy world.

To learn more about the benefits of Yoga Nidra and how it works, I sat down with Rich Lister, a trained nurse and the founder of Medicine For Modern Times. He also created a program called RadicalRest, which is an application of Yoga Nidra combined with other complementary medical and spiritual practices.

I met Rich at the Ra Ma Festival and I respect the way he’s helping people improve their lives by integrating both the spiritual and the medical into their mind-body experience, and I think Yoga Nidra is a tool that a lot of us will be able to incorporate into our daily lives so that we can re-focus on that mind-body experience and thrive in our modern world.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• Rich’s 15 years of experience in the ER & how it broke him
• How Rich started developing his yoga practice
• How ancient yoga and meditation practice first made their way to the West – and then started finding popularity, again, in the mid 90s
• Why your unconscious mind is the root is all healthy living
• The ins and outs of RadicalRest: a deep meditation practice that helps you release negative emotions and thought patterns, calm your nervous system, and develop the aptitude necessary to meet all of life’s challenges
• Can someone practice Yoga Nidra or RadicalRest alone?
• Bringing science to the esoteric
• The relationship between the vagus nerve and the female orgasm
• What we should know about HRV and the unconscious mind
• The subjectivity of trauma
• We are doing the best we can with the tools we have

ORGANIFI. I'm loving Organifi Gold, especially for my night time routine. It has turmeric, ginger, reishi, lemon balm, turkey tail and other rad superfoods, phytonutrients & pain-soothing herbs. My daily routine lately goes like this: in the morning I add it to my nut milk smoothie. At night when I want to chill out, I make a golden latte. I add the power and a healthy fat like ghee, coconut, or grass-fed butter to hot water and voilá! Great warm elixir, really chills you out, gently detoxifies and tastes awesome.

After 22 years of intense biohacking and experimentation to optimize my physical health, I’ve tried just about everything – or so I thought. Because Dr. Ted Achacoso surprised me with the knowledge, insight, and hacks he had up his sleeve that I hadn’t even heard of before this conversation.

Dr. Ted was trained as an interventional neuroradiologist and pharmacologist, but he became disillusioned with this form of care as he realized it, well, didn’t involve a lot of care. It was reactive and interventional. He realized that the way health providers look at patients and approach treatment could benefit from an entirely different approach – one that optimizes health rather than treating disease.

So, after years of studying the intricacies of things like metabolomic, gut, and hormone optimization, Dr. Ted pioneered the concept of Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe).

This is real-time preventive health management. While our traditional Western medicine diagnoses and treats disease, HOMe simply detects and corrects imbalances, with the understanding that “normal” isn’t the same for every single person.

But one of the reasons that I love Dr. Ted and this comprehensive approach to health most is that he makes sure everything he offers his patients actually works by testing new supplements, hormone formulations, and modalities on himself first. He’s a doctor by trade but a biohacker at heart, and I think his patients are almost certainly better for it.

If you’re interested in trying the unique nootropic that Dr. Ted mentions in the episode, Blue Cannatine – a legit limitless pill – you can get on the waitlist for the new Canatine Blue nootropic at troscriptions.com/Luke).

A few weeks ago, hundreds of people descended on the island of Mallorca, Spain – an urban vortex of mysticism, ancient imprints, and creative consciousness – to learn about health, wellbeing, and ascension at Ra Ma Festival.

I hosted an intensive lifestyle design session called Elemental Alchemy – and, today, I want to share it with all of you!

You’ll learn how to biohack your water, air, earth, and light to create and maintain an abundantly healthy and vibrant urban lifestyle; how to apply the most powerful principles of nature, combined with modern technology, to help you not only survive modern city life but thrive in it.

I’m not just talking about your physical health, either. I’m talking about nurturing your soul. Because I believe that our physical vessels here on Earth only exist to facilitate our spiritual experiences.

And you don’t have to choose or compromise – you can make the most out of your soul experience, even while living in the big city, if you just commit to a few profound (yet simple) adjustments to your lifestyle and mindset.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• The fundamental metaphysical and physical laws that dictate our experience
• Why it’s so important to share simple, grounded principles for improving our experience of the physical world
• The most common and sometimes hidden toxins in your household and energetic environment
• What makes up our physical vessel
• An interesting fact about water, your body, and water scarcity
• Evaluating our relationship with water
• Ice, ice baby
• An inconvenient but powerful truth about light
• The most powerful anti-cancer substance in the human body
• Those sweet, sweet sun rays

Michael Trainer, founder of the social action platform Peak Mind and host of the Peak Mind podcast, is one of the biohacking all-stars that I had the opportunity to talk to during Bulletproof Upgrade Labs’ annual conference. 

We talked about nature as a spiritual practice, the problem with unindividuated masculinity, and “the shaman problem” during our lightning round, but it just left me craving more of Michael’s insights into spirituality, plant medicine, and the world.

So I sat down with him again to learn about the critical importance of building life-changing relationships, as it relates to our health and happiness, and how the reintroduction of spiritual practices and plant medicines into our society is playing a role in a new global awakening – as well as how the perversion and misuse of these spiritual tools is leading to a lot of faux-wakenings.

This episode gets pretty heavy, and it’s highly critical of some sects of the spiritual community that likely have good intentions, but it’s probably one of the most important conversations we’ve had on the show so far.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• Michael’s new book about how to build life-changing relationships in the 21st century
• Making giving (not taking) the norm
• The most significant corollary to your long term health and happiness
• The profound loneliness created by our digital world
• Living your life as a gift
• Overcoming imposter syndrome and insecurities
• Hosting His Holiness the Dalai Lama on his birthday
• What is happiness?
• The eulogy exercise
• The difference between proper and improper plant medicine use
• Being ushered into a new global awakening
• The physical, mental, and spiritual preparations you need to make to use plant medicines productively
• Michael’s vision for the future of Peak Minds + his plans to host the largest online meditation ever
• Connecting meditation to reforestation
• Gamifying the evolution of consciousness
