The Life Stylist

For a lot of us, pain is a necessary catalyst for change. For me, it was hitting rock bottom with my drug addiction. For Kyle Kingsbury, it was watching his parents’ abusive relationship and years of struggling with suicidal thoughts.

But while standing naked on the ledge of a parking garage on the verge of taking a suicidal leap to his death, Kyle felt, for the first time in his life, that he wasn’t alone- that there was more to life - and that he was loved.

It was on that fateful ledge that Kyle realized that whatever needs to be done to find fulfillment, needs to be done internally – he wasn’t going to fix his mind or body with any pill or diet fad.

Not long after that experience, Kyle started his career in professional mixed martial arts with the UFC. He had an outlet, he had a team, and he had a  significant goal to work toward. Plus, he was good at it, and that helped. (This primal warrior won his first two fights in under 30 seconds.)

While fighting, Kyle dove deep into health, wellness, nutrition, and biohacking, with some detours into the world of plant medicine. All of this prepared him for his current role as Director of Human Optimization (AKA the company guinea pig) at Onnit, an incredible company dedicated to Total Human Optimization (and a biohacker’s best friend).

Once you experience the power of a proper diet, supplements, nootropics, cold thermogenesis, breathwork, and even microdosing in the pursuit of Total Human Optimization, you’ll feel the difference – and you’ll know that this biohacking stuff is more than just a bunch of trends.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• How Kyle used fighting as a coping mechanism, early and often
• 
  
• Advocating for the useful drugs & against the destructive drugs
• 
  
• Learning to quiet the mental noise without narcotics
• 
  
• What it’s like to struggle with suicidal thoughts as early as seven years old
• 
  
• The respectful camaraderie between professional fighters
• 
  
• How getting put on the bench in college football fueled Kyle’s fighting
• 
  
• The pain of genuinely believing that no one will ever love you
• 
  
• When Kyle realized he wasn’t alone & there was more to life... while standing at the edge of a suicidal plunge to death
• 
  
• The boxing coach that brought Kyle to traditional sweat lodges before and after every fight camp
• 
  
• Discovering the world of plant medicines: psilocybin, ayahuasca, and more
• 
  
• How diet, supplements, nootropics, and even microdosing play a role in Total Human Optimization
• 
  
• Why Kyle had to be a bouncer and bartender at a strip club almost the entire time he was in the UFC
• 
  
• What it’s like to experience a life of Total Human Optimization
• 
  
• A day in the presence of Kyle Kingsbury: breathwork, cold thermogenesis, killer workouts, and more
• 
  
• The transformative plant medicine experiences that Kyle has gone through with his wife (and the insane sex that they have had while using various substances)
• 
  
• Teaching your kids the right & wrong ways to use plant medicines + other parenting insights

I recently had the opportunity to moderate a panel of leaders in the spiritual community at an event in LA called WITMA. One of the most intriguing of my panelists was a tall, dark, and incredibly straight talking man by the name of Shaman Durek. He stood out in the crowd not only because of his colorful, tribal fashion adornment but because of his zero f***s given approach to spirituality. His raw, tough love approach immediately struck a chord in me, and I knew the moment I saw him that we’d become soul brothers. And that’s precisely what happened.

Fast forward a few months to lots of texting, and one hell of a shamanic healing session at my house a month before this podcast was recorded. Durek came over to kindly offer one of his famous healing sessions, and what took place was about as close to the supernatural as it gets. Needless to say, I was not only impressed by his abilities to find hidden mental ghosts and emotional blockages within me, but I knew then that someday we would record one hell of a podcast together.

Well, it wasn’t long after that that Durek was back in LA (he leads a somewhat nomadic lifestyle), so we decided to make my home the location of our biohacking geek out session. The plan was at first to hang and catch up, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to capture our conversation on audio and video. Durek somewhat reluctantly agreed to let me basically wiretap our bro time, and create some genuine and unedited dialog.

What resulted was nothing short of magical. After doing a shamanic reading on my friend Elliot who happened to be at my house when Durek arrived, we proceeded to throw some mics up and not only record Durek as a guest on my show but also me as a guest on his show, Ancient Wisdom Today. Between the two recordings, we talked non-stop until 4 am. Way past my bedtime, but worth it in every sense.

In this episode Shaman Durek takes us on an epic journey into the depths of our soul, calling in great spirits by drawing on his shamanic, ancestral wisdom to get to the root of human suffering to offer profound solutions of deep healing.

I invite you to take some time to get yourself present and open your mind to the fascinating world of Shaman Durek.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• The mind-blowing things that Shaman Durek witnessed during his near-death experience
• 
  
• The three-word answer to mankind’s biggest question to god: Why is there evil and suffering?
• 
  
• How we can collectively escape the victim consciousness & evolve without suffering
• 
  
• The lifestyle that allowed the Durek to shed 30 pounds in 30 days
• 
  
• Asking your body what it needs – and then actually listening
• 
  
• The spirituality of Metallica
• 
  
• Why being in love with yourself is one of the most potent spirithacks
• 
  
• The message that Shaman Durek is going to share no matter what – even if it kills him
• 
  
• How you can tell the difference between a craving and a need (in every area of your life)
• 
  
• What do you need to feel lit every day?
• 
  
• Learning about God by learning about what God created – AKA you
• 
  
• Getting out of the me consciousness & embracing the WE consciousness
• 
  
• How the Durek is empowering women all over the globe
• 
  
• Why we currently lack radical leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. in our world
• 
  
• The purpose of being a lightworker
• 
  
• Facing the evil on this planet with love
• 
  
• The escapism of pornography & rock ‘n’ roll

If you name a weird health device, I’ve probably tried it. I’m always looking for the best, the newest, and the most powerful ways to transform my health – but after over 21 years, I have a closet full of things that sound awesome in theory but are iffy in practice.

But from the moment I first tried the NanoVI, I just had more energy. It’s downright magical how sitting in front of this weird little tube makes you feel, and I bring it with me almost everywhere.

So what does NanoVI actually do and why does it work? I sat down with the mad genius who created the technology, Hans Eng, and his partner in crime, Rowena Gates, to find out.

We get into the nitty gritty in this episode, but basically NanoVI helps repair everyday cell damage caused by what you put in and around your body. We can’t avoid cell damage, but we can do something about it.

In the past, people have tried to improve cellular activity by overriding their body’s natural functions using pharmaceuticals. But the NanoVI devices actually produce the same biological signal your body makes to repair cell damage brought on by free radicals.

This is because Hans and Rowena embrace a really forward-thinking and powerful mindset around health, which you can see in all of their products: we are not going to successfully override our body, so we need to work with it.

Are you ready to stop pushing your body around and start working with it?

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• Hans’ 25+ years of experience with advanced medical technologies, including his time with Johnson & Johnson and helping to create the first dental implant
• 
  
• What it’s like before and after someone gets to experience Luke’s biohacking toolkit
• 
  
• Why all water isn’t created equal
• 
  
• What the 4th phase of water is & how it heals our bodies
• 
  
• How Luke used NanoVI to maximize his stem cell treatment
• 
  
• What you need to know about how water, food, and proteins help our bodies function
• 
  
• The body’s nearly unlimited ability to repair (regardless of what conventional thinking might suggest)
• 
  
• How NanoVI works with your body instead of overriding it
• 
  
• Why the term ‘incurable disease’ is BS
• 
  
• What oxidative stress is & why you want your body to repair it
• 
  
• Why the human body is more like a cloud than a bucket of water
• 
  
• How NanoVI helps the J2 racing team take on the most dangerous course in the world, the Nurburing/Nordschleife
• 
  
• Why companies are embracing the NanoVI for peak performance

Sahara Rose, the author of The Idiot’s Guide to Ayurveda & Eat Feel Fresh, was one of the six people featured in the Longevity Now All-Stars episode released a couple weeks back (episode #147). She had so much Ayurvedic wisdom to share that I had to get her back behind the mic a second time while we were at the conference so that I could extract some more of that knowledge and share it with all of you.

If you’re not familiar with Ayurveda, let me give you a quick rundown: It’s the world’s oldest health system, originating in India over 5,000 years ago as a sister science to yoga. A ton of the common sense health practices we do today – and many of the health “trends” popular in the wellness world – can actually be traced back to Ayurveda.

Sahara represents the next step of Ayurvedic tradition and, according to Deepak Chopra, she is leading our generation into a new paradigm shift – a paradigm that reflects the melding of Ayurvedic healing and spiritual wisdom with modern Western nutritional science and psychology.

Need Ayurveda 101? Desperately want to live a life aligned with your purpose? Craving a different perspective on the mind-body connection? Just want better digestion?

Sahara and the Ayurvedic tradition have you covered for all of that and more.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• Why Ayurveda is for the common person (unlike its sister science, Yoga)
• 
  
• Growing up with two first-generation Indian immigrants & just wanting to fit in
• 
  
• When Sahara started consuming Lunchables, Kool-Aid, and other sugary poison
• 
  
• Weird alien shit that happens to Sahara’s boyfriend
• 
  
• Picking up hot yoga just to gain weight… but getting a whole lot more out of it
• 
  
• Living in a jail in Costa Rica at the age of 15 & other on-the-ground volunteer work
• 
  
• Becoming a diehard raw vegan & still experiencing health issues
• 
  
• How to thoughtfully craft a diet based on where you live & what your body needs
• 
  
• What the three Dosha are & how your Dosha affect you
• 
  
• How Jennifer Lopez & Donald Trump represent the opposite ends of Pitta
• 
  
• Why the dosha in your mind isn’t necessarily the same as the dosha in your body – and what you can do to bring balance to them in different ways
• 
  
• Your dosha & your love relationships
• 
  
• Why tongue scraping isn’t just a trend – it’s effective
• 
  
• Luke’s crazy panchakarma experience and why this is such a powerful detoxification treatment
• 
  
• What you can expect from Sahara’s upcoming cookbook, Eat Feel Fresh

Right before this episode, Justin Mares and I sequestered ourselves in my biohacking lab for an extreme session of brain hacking. It was the perfect way to set the scene for this conversation on the state of the food industry, bone broth, and all of the ancient technologies that are new again in the health & wellness world.

Justin is the Founder of Kettle & Fire, creators of the first 100% grass-fed, non-frozen, shelf-stable beef bone broth on the market.

Justin and his brother started Kettle & Fire after hearing about bone broth and its amazing health benefits back in 2013... but it wasn't exactly easy to find. That kicked off a year-long journey to find the best manufacturer, bones, and ingredients.

Thanks to all of Justin's hard work, you don't have to do anything to reap the benefits of bone broth made from the best ingredients available.

Taking the hassle out of the equation was extremely important to Justin, and it all comes down to a very simple formula:

Health + Convenience = Lifestyle Change

For most people, changing to a healthier lifestyle can feel overwhelming - don't do this, do a lot of that, avoid blue light, nom on some mushrooms, boil down some bones, and all of the other things we talk about in the health & wellness world.

In reality, the vast majority of people change their health gradually, step by step, and people like Justin are just trying to make those first few steps as easy as possible.

So check out this episode to learn a lot more about Justin and the benefits of ancient trends like bone broth - it might just bring you one step closer to a healthier life.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• The big problem that pushed Justin to start Kettle & Fire
• 
  
• What it's like to work with the USDA & navigate all of the ridiculous bureaucracy
• 
  
• 10,000-year-old "trends" like bone broth
• 
  
• The big health challenge that pushed Justin to start Kettle & Fire
• 
  
• How bone broth helps reduce inflammation in your body
• 
  
• What it's like to work with the USDA & navigate all of the bureaucratic red tape
• 
  
• The huge hassle, and mess that goes into making your own bone broth
• 
  
• Overcoming one of the biggest problems when it comes to making healthy choices: compliance
• 
  
• The huge SCAM behind the phrase "grass-fed"
• 
  
• Why truly 100% grass-fed beef is better for you than factory farm slop
• 
  
• Why having too many kids might be worse for the environment than eating a steak
• 
  
• The ethics of farming plants VS farming animals
• 
  
• The MOST harmful thing in the U.S. food system
• 
  
• How you make a great bone broth at home, and why broth is the most ethical and safest way for vegans to transition back into animal foods
• 
  
• If you really care about the environment, stop having sex

A few years ago, I was walking past vendor tables at a biohacking conference and saw Debbie, one of today’s guests, working on people. I’m always down for some body work so I hopped on the massage table and she started moving this crazy vibrating wand all over my body – and it felt frickin’ amazing!

If you’ve listened to the show before, you know that when I find something really cool I obsessively have to seek out the people behind it and share them with the world. So here we are, with three of the folks from Rapid Release Technology, creators of innovative physical therapy devices for both practitioners and personal use.

Dr. Stanley Stanbridge, a former chiropractor, is the President and Inventor behind Rapid Release Technology. What started out as a few pieces of hardware slapped together in the garage has evolved into this life-changing technology.

Jeff Maier is the Co-Founder and VP of Sales & Marketing, not to mention an accomplished software engineer and inventor himself.

Debbie Record-Gomez is a practitioner and born healer who can perform miracles in minutes with a Rapid Release in her hands.

Ridiculous FDA regulation stops these fine folks from saying much, so let me be the one to do it – Rapid Release rocks, and if you are experiencing any pain in your body or want to take a more holistic approach to healing your mind, you need to listen to this episode and then find a practitioner using Rapid Release near you.

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• How Dr. Stanbridge helped develop the original lightstim for pain almost two decades ago
• 
  
• What vibration therapy is & how it can help relieve pain
• 
  
• Creating the first generation of Rapid Release Technology in a garage
• 
  
• What actually causes you to feel aches and pains in your body
• 
  
• How we store emotional, mental, and spiritual trauma in our bodies
• 
  
• Why we can’t really heal ourselves if we focus too much on just the physical or mental
• 
  
• The insane number of people who have some kind of muscular or skeletal pain
• 
  
• Giving your body the opportunity to heal itself
• 
  
• The 3 things your muscles need to function
• 
  
• How Dr. Stanbridge discovered this harmonious, healing frequency
• 
  
• Why anyone can figure out how to use these magic little wands, even without extensive training
• 
  
• How some deep tissue work actually causes injury and hurts the body long term
• 
  
• How you can find a practitioner that uses Rapid Release near you
• 
  
• Why Debbie uses the Rapid Release for her own self-care – and how you can too!

It’s insanely profitable to be wrong when it comes to health – of course, it’s not profitable for me or you, but perpetuating misinformation makes some shady executives out there loads of cash.

And there are few things we are more misinformed about in the Western world than those amber waves of grain, which now make up 70% of all calories consumed by humans on the planet.

But here’s the thing – grains were never part of the human diet until relatively recently, and certainly not in these ridiculous proportions. And when we remove wheat from our diet, the results are downright miraculous: weight melts away, inflammation disappears, migraines subside, some disease reverses entirely, and our gut stops feeling so crappy all the time.

That was the idea behind the #1 New York Times bestselling book Wheat Belly, written by today’s guest Dr. William Davis, a cardiologist and one of the world’s foremost experts on wheat and gluten.

Wheat Belly has grown into a movement of people hungry for food solutions that are healthy, delicious, and convenient. And Dr. Davis’ new book, Undoctored: Why Health Care Has Failed You and How You Can Become Smarter Than Your Doctor, takes the lessons learned through the worldwide Wheat Belly experience and adds new concepts, including how to harness the emerging power of crowd-sourced wisdom and state-of-the-art health technologies.

We are living in the dawn of an age when the average person has access to information and the choice to regain their health and heal their body, without a doctor or the healthcare system... So what will  you choose?

Topics Discussed In This Episode:

• How a family member’s death led Dr. Davis to start investigating wheat and gluten
• 
  
• Why cholesterol testing is like a “beat up old ‘57 Chevy with rust up and down the sides and flat tires” – that is, outdated and virtually useless
• 
  
• The insane profit in medical misinformation
• 
  
• Why modern “Frankenwheat” is even more harmful than the grains of yore
• 
  
• What humans should be eating to fuel their body
• 
  
• The lies we’ve been told about animal fats
• 
  
• How indifference to people’s health (and love of money) has corrupted healthcare, and why the REAL solutions to our health will come from real people like us, not the healthcare system
• 
  
• Why just two slices of whole wheat bread is worse for you than six teaspoons of table sugar
• 
  
• How our reliance on grains has inadvertently created a nation of addiction – and how BIG PHARMA is taking advantage of that fact
• 
  
• Why many “gluten-free” foods are actually worse for you (and the gluten alternatives that are healthy)
• 
  
• What happens chemically in your body when you eat grains and gluten
• 
  
• The difference between A1 and A2 dairy
• 
  
• Why no society in human history has ever thrived on (or sustained) a vegan diet

This is the Longevity Now All-Stars mashup show, featuring six guests doing lightning round questions.

I've been attending the Longevity Now Conference in Anaheim for years and have used it as a home base to record 10 of my 150 episodes over the past two years. In fact, a few of my very first shows were recorded there in 2016. The LNC is one of the most well-attended health and wellness conferences in the world, and with good reason. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more diverse and brilliant group of people. I've interviewed many of the esteemed speakers, vendors, and even a couple attendees.

There’s so much packed into this monster of an episode and six incredibly unique perspectives, but there’s one thing everyone agrees on – SUGAR IS BAD! This extraordinary show covers an insanely wide variety of topics like being hit by lightning, seeing entities at John of God in Brazil, drinking your own pee as medicine, the power of Ayurvedic medicine, the benefits and risks of plant medicine, and just about every other health trend the world has ever known.

This unique bonus episode includes appearances by the following guests:

Zen Wyldflower Nishimura, one of the biodynamic chocolatiers behind ZenBunni and a purveyor of the best incense in the world.

Sabrina Riccio, a medicine priestess & soulistic alchemist who transformed her life after a critical lightning strike.

Scott Linde, a modern apothecary & the creator of Sun Potion.

Aaron Alexander, a human body genius and the creator of Align Therapy.

Sahara Rose, the best-selling author of the Idiot's Guide to Ayurveda and, as described by Deepak Chopra, “a leading voice for the millennial generation into the new paradigm shift.”

Tero Isokauppila, the shroom dealer who founded Four Sigmatic #ONSHROOMS.

Which diet is best for humans, animals, and the planet? This is a question we will perhaps never fully answer. I can’t resist the temptation to try, and this episode endeavors to do just that.

I am continually trying to learn more about what I’m putting in, on, and near my body. I love learning about the way things work. That’s why I recently found myself at a Belcampo Farms (@belcampomeatco) Meat Camp, learning about where my most of my animal foods come from, to make sure that I have some connection to the land, people, and animals involved. I wanted to meet the meat I eat, and the farmers producing it.

While I was at Belcamp Farms, I met #DianaRodgers (@sustainabledish), a #realfood Licensed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist living on a working #organicfarm west of Boston. She also runs an #activenutrition practice, where she helps people recover their health through diet, and hosts The Sustainable Dish Podcast.

We really hit it off at the farm, so I had to have Diana on the show to discuss all things meat, and her upcoming film project: “Kale vs. Cow: The Case for Better Meat.” At a time when many in the health and environmental fields call for a world without meat, #kalevscow makes a case for better meat – and shows how eliminating animals from our #foodsystem could cause more harm than good.

While this episode takes a frail firm stand for eating meat, I don’t take a position on other people’s dietary choices – you can eat a box of rocks for for dinner if that’s what makes you happy. This episode isn’t about right/wrong good/bad. It’s about zooming out to take an open-minded perspective on the human, animal, and planet relationship. What makes us all thrive, and most of all, what is the most natural way to live in our modern, disconnected urban environments.

I also think it’s important to consider and understand the impact of our food buying and consumption… because sometimes the things sold to us as “better” alternatives, like #kale or #soy, can have devastating consequences.

How many animals die to turn a plot of land into a kale pasture? How many salmon lose their habitat because water is diverted for irrigation? What happens to the bears who depend on those salmon for their diet?

What is the math of clearing land to grow a single crop VS raising animals with sensible farming practices?

Just something to chew on.
