Today’s show guest is Nadine Artemis, the expert in sun exposure. Nadine and I talk about the many fallacies and myths regarding sun expose. We’ll discuss breast cancer, melanoma and sun gazing, the sun screen conspiracy and the toxic chemicals you’re probably putting on your body or have at some point. In this show we will be reminded of the sun as a gift and an essential ingredient for optimum health, and how you should be exposing yourself safely on a regular basis.

Have you ever decided to take up meditation, then after a few days, weeks, or perhaps even minutes- gotten frustrated and given up? Maybe you thought you just weren't the spiritual type? If so, you’re likely to be pleasantly surprised by this show. 

Today’s guest is Emily Fletcher, founder of Ziva Meditation and one of the world’s leading experts on the subject. But what makes Emily unique is the style of meditation she teaches. It’s called Vedic Meditation, and it's been an absolute game changer for me personally. I’ve been meditating for around 15 years and have tried just about every tradition I’ve come across. I’ve studied with gurus in remote villages in India, only to be guided back eventually to the Vedic method taught my current teacher in Los Angeles. 

What makes Emily and the Vedic tradition so badass though is that it’s incredibly simple. It’s the easiest- yet at the same time- the most effective style of meditation I’ve ever used. In this episode, Emily and I discuss the how and why of meditation, and illuminate many of the reasons that most people fail and give up fairly quickly when attempting to add this obviously beneficial practice to their lives. 

The rewards of meditation have been known and celebrated by millions of human beings for as far back as written records go, yet it remains so elusive to so many. Take a trip with me and Emily to find out why.

Share this show with someone you love, and thanks for sharing this journey with me.

What are the hidden causes of stress and anxiety, and what can we do about them naturally? That's what we find out in this episode with Evan Brand, host of the super-popular Not Just Paleo Podcast. He’s got over 2 million downloads on his show, and with good reason. (About 50 of them were downloaded by yours truly) Evan is one of the most relatable health experts on the scene, and his simple, common sense approach to health is so refreshing and easy to apply. 

Do you get moody or depressed for no logical reason? Do you spend money on vitamins and supplements without ever having your labs done to see what your body actually needs? Did you know that simple changes to your diet and lifestyle could permanently cure many mental and emotional issues? It turns out your gut biome has a lot more to do with your mood than most people think. Hidden toxins and heavy metals can also reek havoc on your vibes, but it’s usually a waste of time (and cash) to play the guessing game trying figure out how to correct deficiencies and effectively detox. This is where Evan comes in. 

During the show, he breaks us off some very practical solutions to some quite complex human issues. I suffered from severe depression and mood disorders myself for many years (and solved them using many of the natural solutions offered in this interview), so this show is one that really hit home for me. 

It’s my hope that it does the same for you. 

Please pass it along to someone you love.

PS. You can view today's show on YouTube.

In this episode, Dr. Jack Kruse and I discuss ways to biohack modern city life by merging the worlds of science and spiritual intuition. 

The world we live in is not a friendly environment when it comes to our food, water, air, shelter, and modes of travel. So many of the health challenges we face are purely environmental, and this episode offers a host of solutions to these very problems. How can we harness the power of Mother Nature, while still enjoying the conveniences we’ve become so accustomed to? That's the answer I wanted,  and that what I got. 

Some of Jack’s theories on health and wellness can be challenging for the average civilian to understand, and put into practice. My goal in this interview was to translate his brain surgeon jargon into everyday dude-speak so that you the listener would be able to derive some real value from it, and take away some practical lifestyle hacks to add to your routine.  

Mission accomplished.

Tighten your seat belt and enjoy going deep in the mind of Dr. Jack Kruse.

In today’s show I’m are talking to my friend Daniel Vitalis about human domestication. What happened when we started farming? What happened when we started living in unnatural homes cut off from the earth’s natural ecology, and from our true wild nature? We will discuss the truth about where we came from, where we are, and where we might be going. 

We also take a brutally honest look into our current human diets, and compare that to the diets of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. We explore some very thought-provoking ideas on the ever-raging battle of vegan vs. paleo eating habits. How much damage and destruction is actually caused by growing an acre of kale? Why do we devalue the lives of plants and all of the small creatures that die in the process of modern agriculture? Spoiler alert for vegans: Keep an open mind, then follow your heart.

Daniel Vitalis is a writer, podcaster, public speaker and lifestyle pioneer in the sphere of human health, personal development and strategic living. He’s the host of the podcast Rewild Yourself as well as the founder of Surthrival - a fresh, unique, high-end natural supplement boutique.

Get ready to unplug from the matrix and say hello to your inner wild animal. 

Long live the human ape!

Welcome to The Life Stylist Podcast.

This is episode 1. The story of Luke Storey. My story.

It’s one of redemption, transformation, and hope.  A story that sets the stage for this podcast and my message of lifestyle design based on health, spirituality, and personal development.  

From my early years as a troubled kid who found solace in nature and music, to my teen delinquency and subsequent trip to reform school, to many wild years living the rock n’ roll dream-turned-nightmare in Hollywood.  

After almost burning my life to the ground in the abyss of the LA drug scene of the early ‘90’s I was able to start over at 26, and thus begin a 20-year process of intense personal rehabilitation on every level. 

Following my hitting rock bottom and finding my path of salvation, I became a fashion stylist, and went on to work with countless of celebrities before starting my own fashion school, School of Style, in 2008.

This premier episode tells the tale of one man’s journey from the bottom to the top and shines a light on all of the tools and principles that have paved the way so that you, the listener, might be spared a few wasted years of trial and error.

Thank you for joining me on this sometimes tragic, sometimes funny, summary of a life beyond my wildest dreams. May it provide inspiration to anyone who is somewhere on the path that I have traveled. 

Blessings to you and yours.

Luke Storey
