The Life Stylist

Today we're talking about an element that you probably didn't learn about in school, deuterium, and how it is likely contributing to the slow but steady degeneration of the human population. Our guests are Dr. Que Collins and Dr. Laszlo Boros, who are leading experts working to educate people on deuterium through the Center for Deuterium Depletion so that we can heal our bodies and improve the health of future generations.

So what exactly is deuterium?

It is a rare isotope of hydrogen (only 0.000155% of hydrogen atoms) that contains a proton and a neutron in its nucleus, and the extra neutron doubles the mass of this type of hydrogen atom.

And when two deuteriums combine with oxygen, the resulting substance is referred to as “heavy” water, 2H2O, because of the additional mass. Although heavy water tastes and looks the same as ordinary water, it doesn't behave the same: it has a higher boiling point, a lower freezing point, and ice cubes made with heavy water will sink in ordinary water.

These differences demonstrate that the presence of Deuterium can change chemical behavior.

So why does that matter?

Well, hydrogen is in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink, and as we take hydrogen into our body, it becomes part of our blood, organs, DNA, and everything else that makes us who we are.

So when deuterium builds up in your body, it changes chemical reactions at a cellular level and has devastating effects on your metabolism.

Deuterium buildup can affect your ability to create and use energy, limit your DNA's ability to replicate, change how you respond to clinical treatments, and generally change, on a fundamental level, how your body works and, as a result, who you are.

So sit down and get ready for Deuterium 101 because the doctors are about to share some information that everyone on the planet needs to know.

Today Julie Piatt, AKA SriMati, invites everyone participating in the podcast to collaborate, to co-create, and to exchange for the highest divine expression, sharing, activation, initiation, and inspiration of everybody tuning in across the multiverse, both in-body and out-of-body.

What if Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases are preventable?

What if our choices at the grocery store cash register, and the decisions we make when we’re craving a snack, are contributing to or causing dementia?

Those are the questions that drove Max Lugavere – health and science journalist, brain food expert, and the co-author of the New York Times bestseller Genius Foods –  to create his upcoming documentary Bread Head, a first-of-its-kind film about taking back the fate of our defining human characteristic: Our brains.

Bread Head is also an incredibly personal story for Max because it documents his mother’s battle with a neurodegenerative disease. Unfortunately, there aren’t many viable interventions once symptoms start to appear. You’re just prescribed glorified biochemical band-aids and sent on your merry way. Max found that experience unsettling, and it drove him to pursue real answers.

To Max, our current dementia epidemic didn't make sense.  The human body and mind can’t be designed to fall apart so dramatically as we get older. He’s determined to reverse the commonly held belief that getting older means eventually losing your mental capacities and becoming dependent on the medical care system. Or has he sometimes calls it- the sick care system.

Through Max’s tireless research he’s making some very promising discoveries about how our diet and lifestyle choices shape the future of our brain’s health.

This episode will teach you the real truth about how lifestyle and diet affect our health.

It turns out that changes in the brain begin decades before symptoms develop, so the absolute best way we can move the needle on neurodegenerative disease is by minimizing risk when we have the chance. And every day, we make choices that move the needle one way or another.

So what choices are you going to make today? You can start by diving into this thought-provoking conversation, then share it with someone you know who wants to keep their mind young and nimble.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• How we trick our brains into believing that carbs and sugar are our friends
• 
  
• Max’s extremely personal relationship with degenerative brain disease
• 
  
• Searching for the links between Alzheimer’s and other chronic diseases
• 
  
• Why the low fat craze was one of the worst things to happen to the American diet
• 
  
• The average American consumes a mind-boggling 300g of carbohydrates per day
• 
  
• How salt + butter + carbs pushes your brain to a bliss point that renders self-control futile
• 
  
• The oils that you should definitely avoid or remove from your diet
• 
  
• How to identify the best olive to purchase, and how to avoid fakes
• 
  
• Why you should be thinking about the nutrient density of your diet
• 
  
• The correlation between grains, gluten, and your cognitive ability
• 
  
• The fact that there is no biological requirement for grains in our diet whatsoever
• 
  
• Why saunas and cold therapy have so many health benefits
• 
  
• Shopping Bread Head around at festivals
• 
  
• Becoming truth-seekers who question authority
• 
  
• Being skeptical, but never cynical

Warning: I was tripping when I recorded this episode.

Before recording this interview, Energy Muse co-founders Heather Askinosie and Timmi Jandro laid me down on a crystal-laden iMRS PEMF mat for about 20 minutes and guided me through the insane and wonderful experience they call Crystal Biohacking.

This crystal-assisted device recalibrated my nervous system and calmed me down – so essentially, it’s a mobile battery you can use to recharge yourself.

These ladies knew how to get me primed in my flow state, and created the most insanely powerful energy vortex for our recording.

I honestly knew almost nothing about crystals before this conversation, so this experience was pretty much the perfect segue into my big question: What the heck are crystals, and do they have 'healing powers'?

For some people they are just a colorful a rock, for others, they’re a tool – and for Heather, a natural born skeptic, and researcher, they quickly became an obsession. The more she learned about the power of these strange natural formations, the more she wanted to know how to integrate them into her life, and ultimately, her business. As a result of her growing curiosity and passion, Energy Muse was born in 2000. That was also the year Heather's former skepticism was laid to rest.

Today, Heather and Timmi are working hard to shatter the misconceptions of the crystal world, by bringing these mysterious objects to the masses. They’re trying to destigmatize the practice of crystal use, and take the “woo-woo” out of the industry for those who might be scared away by the new age connotations crystals once carried.

They continue to be motivated by the facts that the positive effects of crystals aren’t just metaphysical – they’re real, tangible, and very accessible to your anyone if they’re willing to try.

So whether you’re a veteran crystal wizard, a skeptic yourself, or finally feel comfortable coming out of the crystal closet, the girls of Energy Muse are here for you in this epic, supercharged episode.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• If a biohacking device is good enough for NASA, it’s good enough for Luke
• 
  
• Crystals are energy you can touch and feel
• 
  
• Taking the “woo-woo” stigma out of crystals & simplifying the practice
• 
  
• Discovering crystals that supposedly come from outer space
• 
  
• How long have humans been using crystals?
• 
  
• An extremely commonplace that people see crystals, without realizing it: LCD screens, or Liquid-crystal Displays
• 
  
• We’re all communicating through crystals in our phones, computers, and other tech!
• 
  
• Programming ourselves like a computer chip
• 
  
• You don’t need science to tell you that love works
• 
  
• Coming out of the crystal closet
• 
  
• Being the bridge between the woo-woo and science
• 
  
• How crystals intensify energy – good, bad, or otherwise
• 
  
• With crystals, bigger and more is not necessarily better
• 
  
• The common denominator between us is that we have all our feet on the Earth
• 
  
• Shungite: one of the most fascinating substances on the planet
• 
  
• Getting in tune with what works for you, whether it’s biohacking or crystal healing
• 
  
• Writing what is essentially a crystal recipe book, Crystal Muse: Everyday Rituals to Tune into the Real You
• 
  
• The powerful shifting prayer that Energy Muse learned from Bobby Lake-Thom (you can check it out in the episode and try it out yourself!)
• 
  
• What do the different shapes of crystals indicate?
• 
  
• Why are women inserting jade eggs into their vaginas?
• 
  
• What Heather & Timmi are excited about right now

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening and joining me on this journey we call life

Have you noticed that mainstream spirituality as a form of self-help and personal development is taking the world by storm lately? There are guides, teachers, mentors, and gurus popping up onto the new age scene in droves. This is of course, for the most part, a beautiful thing, as we all know the world could use as many higher-consciousness thought leaders at this particular stage of our evolution.

However, today’s spiritual seeker has to apply more discernment than ever before when selecting his or her modern-day guru. With so many teachers of spirit arriving on the scene, it can be tough to separate the true from false, especially when the aspirant finds themselves at a particularly vulnerable crossroad in life.  

Our guest Danielle LaPorte is one of the most popular spiritually motivating teachers to emerge over the past few years. Her popularity is growing at a staggering pace. The thing that makes Danielle unique amongst the latest generation of gurus is that she isn’t claiming to be a guru at all. She’s not trying to convince you she has this whole life thing all figured out – she’s merely on her inner journey, inviting us all to come along and join her in her awakening, one day at a time.

Danielle’s newest book, White Hot Truth: Clarity for keeping it real on your spiritual path—from one seeker to another, is pretty much a detox for a world inundated by self-proclaimed spiritual sherpas.

The whole point of this journey, after all, is to become your guru; to create space for your voice, to own your issues, and to learn from your experiences and pain so that you might be given the opportunity to share the lessons you learn along the way with other soul travelers.

Are you ready to give yourself a loving reality check and start finding your path to enlightenment on this journey of life? Pop on some headphones, and prepare yourself for some deeply down to earth spiritual truth.

• Getting addicted to self-help
• 
  
• Why narcissism is a painful trap (that doesn’t blend well with spirituality)
• 
  
• How to avoid being pseudo spiritual
• 
  
• The overuse + misuse of the word ‘Guru.’

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening, and joining me on this journey we call life

I started The Life Stylist Podcast to share some of the things I’ve discovered along my journey of personal development and self-improvement. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 22 years of biohacking, it’s that too much focus on solely the physical tends to become in and of itself an addiction, obsession, or at the very least a distraction from the real task at hand- spiritual enlightenment.

While we do need to keep our physical vessel (our meat suit) healthy, stable and in tune so that we can fulfill our soul's mission of love and service to others here on the material plane, it's a spiritual trap to become too enamored by the temporary loaner vehicle we call our body.

So in this Bootleg Broadcast of a talk I gave at Bulletproof Upgrade Labs, I focus on the global human experience and the role of mindset, mindfulness, and spirituality in your overall health and wellness.

Are you ready to start spirithacking?

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• That time I recorded my stem cell surgery and put it on YouTube
• 
  
• A centering breathwork exercise
• 
  
• Primary water – AKA the nectar of the gods
• 
  
• Going out to hunt for your spring water
• 
  
• How you can protect yourself from the onslaught of EMFs & turn your bedroom into a faraday cage
• 
  
• Why I'm a sun worshipper
• 
  
• How meditation creates a gap between ‘the witness consciousness’ and the phenomenon we call living life
• 
  
• How you can take advantage of “negativity fasting” (and why you should give it a shot)
• 
  
• The practice of prayer – not strictly religious prayer, but living in a state of recognition that we’re not separate from everything else in the universe
• 
  
• Serving the highest good for yourself & others
• 
  
• The prayer that changed my life forever
• 
  
• Why all of these spiritual, mental, and physical practices have one purpose: they give us the capacity to be of service to the world

In Japanese culture, if an object of value breaks, there is an art form that involves putting it back together with lacquer and golden powder – Kintsugi, or the art of golden repair.

The repaired object is then considered more beautiful than it was before; a recognition that the imperfections and differences are part of our story, and part of what makes us attractive.

There is another Japanese art called wabi-sabi, which is essentially the aesthetic philosophy that things can be perfectly imperfect.

As someone who wrecked his life and put it back together, I can appreciate the metaphor.

I also appreciate how these traditions inspire my guest Candice Kumai, the “golden girl of the wellness world.” She is a professionally trained chef, a leading wellness writer, a best-selling author, a Top Chef alumni, and a proud Japanese-American.

Her newest book, Kintsugi Wellness: The Japanese Art of Nourishing Mind, Body, and Spirit, is more than just a clean living guide or cookbook – it’s a piece of art that guides the reader through Candice’s favorite Japanese traditions and practices for cultivating inner strength and living graciously, containing the tools we all need to reclaim the art of living well.

Candice reminds us of the power and beauty of rebirth, shows us we can all start practicing the art of living well (no matter what age we are), and explains why cooking is one of the only resources available to all of us that will allow someone to change their whole life through simple ingredients & actions.

We also end the interview with a question I’ll pose to all of you – How can we, as public figures and content creators, be of better use to you? That’s why we’re here, and we honestly want to know.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• The incredible matcha cookies that Candice made for me (you can check out the recipe here on Candice’s YouTube channel)
• 
  
• Birth, destruction, and rebirth is a natural cycle – and how sometimes the resurgence is the most beautiful part
• 
  
• How Candice’s parents met through war, in a Buddhist temple
• 
  
• What is wabi-sabi?
• 
  
• Growing up, Candice was everything that wasn’t considered “Asian.”
• 
  
• Like Dr. Seuss said, “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?”
• 
  
• Why Candice gravitated towards her Japanese heritage
• 
  
• Part of being honorable and humble is letting your work speak for itself
• 
  
• Drinking vodka, from a biohacker’s perspective
• 
  
• The mouth-watering photography in Kintsugi Wellness (which Candice did herself)
• 
  
• What do people do differently in The Blue Zones, the areas where people live the longest & happiest lives?
• 
  
• Why a healthy begins when you get a Vitamix
• 
  
• Why cooking is one of the only resources you have to change your whole life through simple ingredients & actions
• 
  
• Gaman, the art of high resilience, humility, and enduring
• 
  
• Working with integrity & authenticity
• 
  
• How can we, as public figures, be of use to you?

Are you #OnShrooms? If not, why not?! Mushrooms are one of the most popular current wellness trends globally, being spearheaded by health experts and herbalists everywhere.  Over the past few years, many outstanding mushroom products have been brought to market, and the industry doesn't seem to be losing steam anytime soon.

Jeff Chilton is one of the foremost experts on all things mushrooms and is an absolute veteran of the shroom scene going back decades.  He and his colleagues at Nammex introduced medicinal mushrooms to the U.S. nutritional supplement industry back in 1989. And as we stand on the verge of 2019, it's pretty remarkable that medicinal mushrooms are just now starting to hit the mainstream – because the vast history of fungi being used by humans for longevity and consciousness expansion goes back eons.

Mushrooms have played an enormous role in Jeff’s life since he was young when a friend came back from Mexico telling tales of Magic Mushrooms. So while in university, Jeff ended up exploring the anthropological history of mushrooms worldwide, including their role in Shamanistic practices.

Jeff didn't find much use for an anthropology degree, as it turns out, so Jeff found himself heading 60 miles down the road to work at Ostrom Mushroom Farms in Olympia, Washington in 1973.

After ten years growing 10s of millions of pounds of commercial mushrooms – the edible kind that you find in grocery stores – Jeff found himself exploring the medicinal side of mushrooms, particularly the ancient knowledge of Chinese herbalists.

But when he tried to bring that knowledge back with him in the 1990s, medicinal mushrooms were a hard sell in the Western world. Even the wellness world wasn’t interested in fungi – luckily for all of us, times have since changed.

With decades of research and insight, Jeff answers pretty much every question one might have about mushrooms: What’s the difference between culinary and medicinal mushrooms? Are medicinal mushrooms able to heal everything the internet tells me (spoiler: they’re helpful, not magic) Why is micro-dosing becoming so popular amongst young entrepreneurs and creatives?  Were psychedelic mushrooms different 40 years ago, and what place to they have alongside a healthy lifestyle today?

Answers to these questions and more are revealed in great detail in this comprehensive study of all things mushrooms. Put your headphones on one, and get ready to take a trip.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• Overseeing the growth of 2,000 mushroom crops over the course of a decade – that’s approximately 40,000,000 pounds of mushrooms all together!
• 
  
• Starting the United States’ first mushroom conferences
•

• 
  
• What can go wrong while growing organic mushrooms
• 
  
• What makes each species of mushroom unique
• 
  
• There’s thousands of species of mushroom in the world... but we can only cultivate about 25 of them!
• 
  
• How some of the most popular medicinal mushrooms – cordyceps, reishi, chaga, and lion’s mane – are used to heal the body
• 
  
• Why reishi is the mack daddy of adaptogenic mushrooms (and if you’re only going to take just one, make it reishi)
• 
  
• Fun fact: chaga isn’t actually a mushroom
• 
  
• Don’t listen to everything the internet says – medicinal mushrooms are incredibly helpful, but they’re not magic or a panacea (and shout out to Jeff for having the balls to make this distinction)
• 
  
• Why Jeff bought a professional geiger counter after Fukushima
• 
  
• The extraction methods for different medicinal mushrooms

WARNING: After this episode, you will never look at your phone, internet router, or even your home appliances the same way again. This conversation is the ultimate Red Pill for the current state of electro-pollution, and its devastating effects on our biology.

This show is dedicated EMFs, or electromagnetic frequencies. And it is going to change your life. If you care about your health, EMF mitigation should be your first line of defense. Some would argue that EMF awareness and protection is as important as diet and exercise when it comes to health and longevity.

People ask me about EMFs all the time, and it’s such a vast topic, that I will probably need to devote an episode to this issue a couple of times per year, just to keep up. There’s always new information coming out about the potential dangers of EMFs, and public awareness is thankfully growing every day.

When I spoke Paleo f(x) recently in Austin, TX, I found myself in a deep-dive conversation with #BrianHoyer, an EMF specialist and the founder of Shielded Healing. After testing the EMF levels around us in the convention center using his high- tech gear, I decided to find a quiet spot to record a conversation with Brian, to take a detailed look at this incredibly complex issue

Brian’s mission is to shift people towards ancestral habits, and native lifeways that awaken dormant healing responses in the body – and to bring awareness to the unfortunate invisible side-effects of advancing technology that cripple our body's innate healing mechanisms.

The good news? We’re not defenseless against these invisible stressors! Throughout this episode, Brian shares surprisingly simple solutions for minimizing or removing the damaging frequencies from your home, office, computer, and cell phone.

Want to prevent your cell phone from causing a permeable blood-brain barrier? Trying to avoid being blasted by your microwave? Just want to feel better on a day-to-day basis?

Brian has you covered.

Please support the show by sharing it with  someone you know who is probably getting fried by EMFs, and would be interested in protecting themselves.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• What the heck are EMFs and why should I care?
• 
  
• All of the things in your daily life that bombard your body with electrical fields
• 
  
• How we can measure the micro voltage on our bodies
• 
  
• You’ve got the Paleo diet – now it’s time to create the Paleo space!
• 
  
• The effect of your (and your neighbors’) microwave’s magnetic field
• 
  
• Brian’s unique EMF testing technology
• 
  
• The surprisingly simple solutions we can use to reduce the number of fields attacking us in our homes and offices
• 
  
• How tech like Bluetooth headsets can cause a permeable blood-brain barrier
• 
  
• Why shielding your home can fix problems like leaky gut
• 
  
• What you can do to minimize the harmful effects of your cell phone (while still receiving notifications)
• 
  
• How to shield yourself from the top four worst EMF's while you sleep, and the single most powerful thing you can do to protect yourself
• 
  
• How we, as a society, could be creating healthier technology
• 
  
• The benefits of turning your bed into a faraday cage
• 
  
• Avoiding the geopathic stress caused disruptions in the Earth’s electromagnetic field
• 
  
• The danger of smart meters
• 
  
• Is grounding technology helping or hurting you?

This unique 'Bootleg Broadcast' episode was recorded live from an undisclosed location in Malibu in a room full of Life Stylist Podcast listeners, and some of LA's most fascinating and talented people – including Eli Block, Master Stroker and lead Orgasmic Meditation (OM) instructor at OneTaste.

We skip the story of how Eli got into this meditative practice – you can check out my first conversation with Eli back in episode 10 to learn all about that – and dive deep into the nitty-gritty of how Orgasmic Meditation works and who it helps.

Our modern sexual practice is hyper-masculine and extremely goal-driven.  It usually ends up following transactional rules, like commerce. I do this for you, then you do that for me, etc.

But do you want to approach intimacy the same way you approach buying a sandwich? It’s not very sexy (and not very zen).

Instead, perhaps we can explore a more expansive understanding of intimacy? Interested in aligning your understanding of gender, sexuality, and orgasm with nature? Want to develop a sexual practice with your partner that doesn’t solely focus on exchanging pleasure?

Then you might consider a ride on the OM train.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• What exactly Orgasmic Meditation is & how you can practice it with your partner
• 
  
• Why this process involves stroking the clitoris with no intended goal
• 
  
• Our culture has a hyper-masculine definition for a lot of things related to relationships – but we could all benefit from learning more feminine definitions
• 
  
• The skewed commerce of pleasure
• 
  
• What makes a hot makeout
• 
  
• When Luke accidentally sent his father some super nasty porn in the mail for Christmas
• 
  
• Why there is no “nutritional value” to porn
• 
  
• How your rigid sexual preferences can mean the undoing of your pleasure
• 
  
• The wildly different reasons different people have sex
• 
  
• Why your sexual skill doesn’t matter if a woman doesn’t want to enjoy what you’re doing
• 
  
• OM as a protocol for increasing sensitivity & bringing orgasm to the next level
• 
  
• You can OM however you want to, with whomever you want to – that’s why it’s a practice!
• 
  
• Why it’s almost impossible to do anything else if you aren’t experiencing human connection
• 
  
• Getting down on your knees & putting the work in to learn how a clitoris operates
• 
  
• The benefits of practicing OM, for men and women
• 
  
• Why one OM session doesn’t mean you’re about to have sex (although it can make sex a lot better if you feel the electricity)
• 
  
• Why sex is an energy debit & OM is an energy credit
