What do mystics, shamans, and healers have in common? They operate on a different level. In this episode, we demystify the pathways accessed by miracle workers, better understand the chakras, explore how to harness special forms of light to improve your health, and overcome dis-ease with the "subtle elements". For a thorough exploration of the science (Quantum and Newtonian) behind the claims, I suggest you pick up her 800+ masterpiece.

There's not much that virtually every ancient culture agreed on. So when you come across a universal concept, take note. That's exactly why we're digging into the now scientifically validated world of subtle energy and the many names it has gone by throughout the ages.

Have you heard of "infoceuticals"? Whenever we ingest an herb, supplement, drug, or other compounds, it alters the electromagnetism of cells. Certain processes start, others stop. The characteristic effects of the substance result. What if we could use modern tools to accomplish something similar? I tested a few of their products. Skeptical of its effects, I transformed my water into all kinds of things. Growth hormone, cannabis, Xanax, and nootropics to name a few. Infopathy is like digital, 21st-century homeopathy. I decided to bring their founder on the show to explain how this crazy technology works. Meet our guest Anton Fedorenko received his BASc in Applied Physics and Mathematics (2012) and MASc in Innovation and High Technologies (2017) from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Russia). For 10 years, Anton has been involved with several water-related projects wherein he not only conducted fundamental research but also developed water-related products and web-based platforms. From 2013 to 2017 he was a member of the organizing committee for the annual Water Conference on the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology of Water. In 2018 Anton founded AshNu Technologies Inc. (Canada) and is currently developing two platforms: Infopathy and AquaPsy.

More perspective leads to more options. This is true whether you're solving a nagging health issue or trying to take your performance to the next level. Our ancestors had answers to many ailments that leave modern medicine dumbfounded. Before Ayurveda, I discovered Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). So I brought on a guest to distill the system for beginners. Meet our guest Dr. Jonathan Stuart is a Board Certified Acupuncturist and practitioner of Chinese Medicine (NCCAOM) and licensed under the Texas Medical Board. He has both a Masters and a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. He's trained in the US and China.

Many people (myself included) get into fitness for the aesthetics and stay for the mental and emotional resiliency benefits. Fitness is much more than appearance. In this conversation with the hosts of The Fit Mess, we explore the power of vulnerability, opening up, therapy, and the non-physical perks of exercise. Meet our guests Zach Tucker and Jeremy Grater are the founders and hosts of The Fit Mess. For nearly a decade, they have pushed themselves to learn more about their own physical, emotional, and mental health. This has created a passion for using their acquired knowledge to help others.

Your body's internal pharmacy can produce natural substances mimicking THC, cocaine, heroin, magic mushrooms, morphine, coffee, Viagra, and more. Every time you enter this bliss state, you become more effective for up to 48 hours. Getting more done, downloads of insight, and actually embodying the cliche of working smarter (without necessarily working harder). Of the dozens of meditation programs I've tried, this was the first I stuck with and led me to a streak of over 550 consecutive days. This episode explains why and how EcoMeditation can help you, even if you consider yourself a "failed meditator". Meet our guest Dawson Church, PhD, is an award-winning science writer with three best-selling books to his credit. The Genie in Your Genes was the first book to demonstrate that emotions drive gene expression. Mind to Matter, showed that the brain creates much of what we think of as "objective reality." Bliss Brain demonstrates that peak mental states rapidly remodel the brain for happiness. Dawson has conducted dozens of clinical trials, and founded the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare to promote groundbreaking new treatments. Its largest program, the Veterans Stress Project, has offered free treatment to over 20,000 veterans with PTSD over the past decade. Dawson shares how to apply these health and performance breakthroughs through EFT Universe, one of the largest alternative medicine sites on the web.

Despite what you may hear, two weeks of vacations can absolutely derail your health and take months to fully recover from. And never mind performance after that. Healthy living also doesn't need to mean suffering through bland food and avoiding social situations. In this short SoloSode, I share my approach to biohacking the holidays. The mindset, practices, and gear I use so that I can literally have my cake and eat it too.

People often learn martial arts to protect themselves and others. As any conflict resolution expert will tell you, violence should be your absolute last resort. Protection starts long before physicality. The most influential leaders diffuse tense situations by going in with an unusual mindset and awareness. They're also great communicators. Our guest came up with the "PeaceWalker System", which gives you an entire suite of tools to lead, protect, and live confidently. Meet our guest Craig Gray is a Krav Maga instructor, conflict communication expert and former bodyguard who founded the PeaceWalker Program, an approach that teaches 'average Joes' a simple method for protecting themselves and loved ones from harm. Craig is a speaker, trainer, and Subject Matter Expert (SME). For over two decades he has been highly sought after by private and government organizations, fortune 500 companies, and many others for his unique approach. He has worked with people ranging from Navy SEALS to soccer moms, police to private security, teachers to healthcare providers... and everyone in between. Craig runs a Krav Maga Academy, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He's an Associate Instructor and founding member at Resolution Group International (RGI), a conflict management company serving the needs of the U.S. Military, law enforcement agencies, and private organizations. Thank you to our sponsors Outliyr Peak Performance Shop: get exclusive discounts on cutting-edge health, wellness, & performance gear Key takeaways Everyone agrees that life is precious until a conflict arises and your counter-party does something wrong. We must separate their life's value from their actions and behaviors Most bad situations happen out of opportunity and generally could have been diffused. Awareness makes you a hard target Defense starts with mindset, then awareness, then influence, then action.
