The Life Stylist

Have you ever considered that the way most of us humans exercise or at least try to stay in shape usually has nothing to do with how we have evolved to move? Think about a rowing machine or a barbell. When is the last time you saw a gorilla jetting up a river in a canoe or lifting a 25lb log up and down for 12 reps? The human body is designed to move in nature, using its environment as a ‘gym.’ That environment might be a forest, or in the case of today’s guest- the concrete jungle of a city.

In this episode, we learn all about moving your body like the human ape that you are, from one of the most popular natural movement experts in the world - Travis Brewer. Travis has combined elements of Acroyoga, Parkour, functional movement training, animal-based movements, and calisthenics, to create a system called ‘ninja flow.' This fitness system requires very few tools and certainly does not require membership to a gym, with it’s inherent forced exposure to bad LED lighting, irritating music, and the toxic fumes of rubber floors, and plastic exercise equipment.

Through his many years of extensive training, Travis has not only learned to execute seemingly impossible feats of human movement but has also inspired millions of fans as a finalist on the hit NBC show American Ninja Warrior.

If you're interested in expanding your vision of what your body is capable of, and in finding new and exciting ways to achieve a higher level of fitness, this episode is for you. It's also for anyone you know who could use a little inspiration in their movement practice. So do us all a favor, and share this show with a friend.

To your physical potential,

Luke

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

Did you know that nature has created plants and fungi to solve just about every problem we humans encounter? From sex to sleep, mother earth has provided us herbs and mushrooms that can be used to optimize every aspect of our human experience and performance. However, even with that being so it often takes the average person years of research, and education to learn how to effectively select and use medicinal plants and fungi to the fullest extent of their power.

Our guest Tero Isokauppila takes us on a journey into the heart of nature-based wisdom and shows us how to harness it and apply it to our lives in very simple, down-to-earth terms. By sharing his journey from the Finnish countryside as a youth, to traveling the world to study the most powerful herbs and lifestyle practices the world has to offer, Tero weaves a funny, inspiring, and educational tapestry of lifestyle design.

If you know someone who is interested in living a healthy, happy, and adventurous life do them a favor and share this exciting episode with them now.

Thanks for your ears,

Luke

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

Are you a powerful, vibrant, wild human? Or have you been systematically domesticated in the same way the mighty wolf has been reduced to the fragile and helpless Chihuahua?

Most of us are blissfully unaware that before the agricultural revolution that took place roughly 10,000 years ago, humankind lived in harmony with the earth, and as a result experienced life as a much happier, and healthier species.

In this episode, our guest Daniel Vitalis takes us on a journey back in time to discover how we have been led astray by the false hope of the benefits of 'modern life.' You will be shocked to find the many ways in which our current lifestyle is indeed inferior to the lives of most hunter/gatherer people of the past, and even as compared so the small indigenous population currently in existence.

Our domestication was perpetuated on purpose and has shaped our current health, bodies, spirituality, and even our sex.

Daniel not only exposes this alternative version of human history but also offers some very practical tips on how to 'rewild ourselves' and to reclaim our health- and even our personal sovereignty.

If you value your right to live a free, natural human being, please share this show with a like-minded friend or loved one. The world could use some more awakened people.

Episode Breakdown

• How desks ruin your body and sitting in chairs make you spineless
• 
  
• Domesticated spirituality, and how religions are all part of the human control system that came along with agriculture
• 
  
• Daniel challenges my level of yoga and suggests that this tradition might be part of an elitist control culture and not quite the utopian heritage that we commonly believe it to be
• 
  
• How animism is actually the original spiritual religion of pre-domesticated humans
• 
  
• Phony aspects of the new age movement
• 
  
• How to rewild your sexuality, your movement and your home
• 
  
• Lifestyle recommendations

Have you ever considered how much habits play a part in your day to day successes or failures? Many of us live most of our lives on autopilot, without ever actually taking a pause to examine our positive and negative personality traits, and how they manifest as the habits that shape our destiny in life.

Our guest Gretchen Rubin takes us on an inner journey of self-discovery where you'll learn how to discover your best personality traits, and how to build habits to support them.

In this episode she outlines different personality types, the four human tendencies and which one best describes you. Are you a closer or a finisher? An abstainer or moderator? A night or morning type? Listen and find out. You'll also learn how to use habits to make changes naturally without engaging willpower or self-control, which often lead to exhaustion and failure. We also talk about the differences between habits and addictions, and how to get along with people who are very different from you.

Gretchen is the author of several books, including the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers, Better Than Before, The Happiness Project and Happier at Home. She has an enormous readership, both in print and online, and her books have sold more than two million copies worldwide, in more than thirty languages.

On Gretchen’s popular weekly podcast Happier with Gretchen Rubin, she discusses good habits and happiness with her sister Elizabeth Craft; they’ve been called the “Click and Clack of podcasters.” Her podcast was named in iTunes’s lists of “Best Podcasts of 2015” and was named in the Academy of Podcasters “Best Podcasts of 2016.” BuzzFeed listed Happier in 10 Life-Changing Things to Try in June and the New Yorker said, “Their voices remind you that life is a human project that we’re all experimenting with.” The podcast consistently ranks in the iTunes Top Charts.

She started her career in law and was clerking for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor when she realized she wanted to be a writer. She lives in New York City with her husband and two daughters. Episode Breakdown:

• Getting to know Gretchen and her work
• 
  
• The value of her personality test and the 4 human tendencies: upholder, questioner, obliger or rebel. Which one are you?  
• 
  
• Inner and outer expectations, and breaking commitments to others and yourself 
• 
  
• Morning vs. night person: stop trying to change yourself, rather, change your circumstances
• 
  
• Simplicity lover vs abundant lover: one size doesn't fit all
• 
  
• Respecting the truth about ourselves and our natural habits
• 
  
• Learning about the personality tendencies of others increases our chances to manage differences more easily
• 
  
• Habits and addictions: is there really a difference?
• 
  
• Using habits instead of self control, decision-making and willpower to manage changes in our lives
• 
  
• Abstainers vs. moderators: the key is to know yourself
• 
  
• Decision fatigue and how it wears you down 
• 
  
• Piggybacking and the importance of knowing what's true for you

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

Have you ever noticed that most of the time when you present an illness or physical issue to a traditional medical doctor that their first go-to solution to your problem includes either drugs, surgery, or both? Have you ever had a doctor look into the underlying root causes of your ailment in a meaningful way? Chances are better than even that during a typical appointment with your family doc they take about 10-15 minutes to ask what your symptoms are, then prescribe a pharmaceutical to alleviate the symptom, or refer you to a specialist that offers the same type of advice. Unfortunately, the solution offered by either rarely has much of an impact, and if it does, it tends to be short-lived because the cause of the symptom has not been identified and remedied.

In this episode, we take a look at our current broken, and antiquated medical system, and discover a world of exciting new possibilities in the industry of Functional Medicine. Be prepared to learn the insider secrets of the healthcare industry, as told by a highly educated and celebrated MD, and how to take control of your own health by forming a collaborative relationship with your doctor. In the new era of medicine, you need a doctor that understands how to prevent and treat illness and disease through lifestyle and dietary changes and sees pharmaceutical and surgical solutions as a last resort, rather than the first line of defense.

Our guest Dr. Robin Berzin is one of the world's top functional medicine (or holistic) doctors. She's also a savvy entrepreneur in the health and wellness industry and has created a new medical care model that is quickly setting the new standard for functional medicine through her groundbreaking company Parsley Health.

In addition to getting an insider's perspective on taking charge of your healthcare, you'll also gain an immense amount of practical insights and solutions to many common ailments and health issues that many of us are currently facing.

If you know someone who is stuck or frustrated with their current healthcare provider or has a chronic problem that they've been unable solve, do them a favor and share this episode with them now.

Episode Breakdown
