Keto vs. Carnivore, Hormonal Chaos from High Protein, the *Surprising* Truth About Cold Exposure, and Why Carbs Are CRUCIAL with Jay Feldman
In today’s episode, you’ll get to explore the complexities of ketogenic vs. carnivore diets with health coach and independent researcher Jay Feldman. Jay explains why he prefers ketogenic diets over high-protein carnivore diets, focusing on how they rely on fats for energy rather than stressing the body with excess protein. The conversation dives into the hormonal and digestive impacts of high-protein diets, while also acknowledging the short-term benefits they may offer. You'll also discover how to manage stress through food choices, improve carbohydrate utilization, and optimize gut health. Additionally, Jay shares his thoughts on using devices like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to measure stress hormones and offers practical advice on incorporating more carbs—like fruits and well-processed grains—into your diet for better energy and balance. His bioenergetic approach to health highlights the importance of cellular energy production and mitochondrial function. We’ll also tackle personalized exercise protocols based on individual stress levels, explore the benefits and limits of heat and cold exposure, and discuss the role of caffeine in daily routines. Jay Feldman is a health coach, independent health researcher, and the host of The Energy Balance Podcast. He holds degrees in neuroscience and exercise physiology but chose to forgo medical school after realizing that the conventional medical approach wasn't the solution to the health problems many of us face. After working through various conventional and alternative health paradigms and trialing countless diets, Jay came across the idea that cellular energy is the foundation of health. Embracing this discovery, he now uses the Energy Balance approach to help men and women around the world maximize their cellular energy, optimize their health, and achieve freedom from low-energy symptoms and chronic health issues. Tune in as we dive into the science behind diet, stress management, and exercise to unlock the secrets of achieving your best health!

Is It Possible To Make Our Screens "Healthier"? The New Blue-Light, Flicker-Free Technology That May Change the Face Of Computing Forever, With Daylight Computer's Anjan Katta
Anjan suffered from eye strain and disrupted sleep cycles, as well as worsening of ADHD symptoms from using modern computers. Resolving to do something about this, Anjan committed to reading only from paper which meant he had to print everything he wanted to read from a computer screen. He soon missed the convenience of computers. He became more enthralled with e-ink, buying and testing every e-ink device on the market. Finding these products were too slow to function as helpful, productive tools, Anjan hacked e-ink devices. Yet, they were too slow and ineffective to serve more practical computing needs. This journey led to Anjan innovating screen technology specifically suited for eye health and circadian rhythm preservation. Additionally, Anjan developed a vision for an entire operating system that prioritizes holistic health. After developing his first prototype, Anjan navigated the challenges of bringing the device to production. Through the long journey and the successful launch of Daylight’s first product, Anjan has received overwhelming feedback of the life-changing effect of his product and vision. Thousands resonate with Anjan’s belief in the potential for technology to enhance rather than detract from people’s well-being. Daylight’s goal is to offer alternative technology solutions that support your health, attention, freedom, and quest to live a more balanced life.

Exercising One Specific (Often Forgotten) Body Part Can Relieve Aching Tightness, Head-Splitting Migraines, Breathing Issues, and Poor Sleep Quality With Dr. Neel Bulchandani
Aching tightness, head-splitting migraines, breathing issues, and poor sleep quality — these are all signs of trapped tension in your body. The good news is that exercising one specific (and often forgotten) body part can help restore your well-being… I'm talking about your tongue… I first discovered how to unlock the power of whole-body tension relief when Dr. Neel Bulchandani visited my house and did some very unique body therapy on me (including putting his fingers into my mouth and my nasal cavity to 'adjust' those sections)! I later released an Instagram post about his groundbreaking Tongue Press program — a video series and guide designed to optimize tongue mobility. Dr. Bulchandani is a holistic chiropractor and bodywork educator who has poured over 15 years of chiropractic expertise and five years of training fellow bodyworkers into creating not just Tongue Press, but his other unique methods as well. Trusted by nearly 10,000 patients, his method is a welcomed solution for anyone struggling with persistent stiffness, pain, or even chronic conditions like TMJ, back pain, and digestive issues. Dr. Bulchandani's approach isn't just about temporary relief but about empowering you with tools for long-term healing and improved mobility. *If you want to try his Tongue Press program, you'll receive a masterclass packed with videos, audio, and a detailed PDF guide.

Can You Fast WITHOUT Fasting? How To Use The Science Of Biomimetics To "Fool" Your Body Into A Fasted State (Even When Eating!) With Mimio's Chris Rhodes
In this episode, you’ll get to explore how you can reap the benefits of fasting (without actually having to fast), thanks to Dr. Chris Rhodes and his groundbreaking supplement, Mimio. If you're dealing with low energy, sluggish metabolism, or premature aging, Dr. Rhodes explains how Mimio mimics the effects of fasting to boost cellular health and longevity. You'll get to discover how this innovative approach can address common health issues, enhance your well-being, and help optimize your body and mind (without dealing with some of the less-than-favorable side effects of fasting, such as irritability, headaches, fatigue, and hunger pangs). Dr. Chris Rhodes received his Ph.D. in nutritional biochemistry from UC Davis and is an expert on human fasting as a health and longevity intervention. Over the course of his research, he and his team comprehensively mapped the biochemical changes that happen in the human body during prolonged periods of fasting. Dr. Rhodes discovered that the body produces multiple unique bioactive metabolites during a 36-hour fast, and when these metabolites are given as a supplement, they could recreate the cellular health and longevity benefits of fasting, including extending lifespan in model organisms by 96%. Dr. Rhodes is now the founder and CEO of Mimio Health a nutri-technology company creating first-of-their-kind biomimetic supplements designed from human biology to recreate the body's natural regenerative states. Mimio Health's first product, Mimio, is a fasting mimetic designed from over seven years of clinical fasting research at UC Davis to provide the same cellular health and longevity benefits as a 36-hour fast in a simple daily pill. Mimio has been clinically shown to produce the same anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardioprotective effects as fasting, even during a meal, extend lifespan in model organisms by 96%, and reduce biological age (DNAMet) in humans. Whether you're a fasting enthusiast, new to fasting, or simply curious about how fasting can enhance your health, this episode is packed with actionable insights and groundbreaking information!

You'll also get to hear the incredible story of the 185-year-old yogi and discover longevity secrets through an ancient detox ritual that is backed by cutting-edge science.

DARK Calories! How Vegetable Oils Destroy Your Health (& How You Can Get It Back) With Dr. Cate Shanahan
Dr. Cate Shanahan, “The Energy Doctor,” is a Cornell-trained physician-scientist whose works have inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live-culture ferments, and seed oil-free business empires. Together, with NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the LA Lakers PRO Nutrition program, which has been emulated by elite championship teams around the world. Dr. Cate is back for a threepeat to discuss her new book Dark Calories, in which she introduces you to well-respected scientists who warn that vegetable oils are a public health disaster, wreaking havoc on your body’s cells by depleting antioxidants and promoting free radical toxicity. Their many effects include: Uncontrollable hunger, resulting in the need for drugs to maintain your weight Inflammatory fat buildup under your skin and within your internal organs and arteries Blood sugar swings that promote bad moods and antisocial behavior Disrupted brain energy, concentration problems, and mental illnesses Intracellular oxidative stress that promotes cancer development Gut inflammation, bloating, heartburn, and "the runs" Important protein powder note: During our discussion, Dr. Cate and I expose the issues with the oxidation and processing of protein powders. Oxidation can indeed be an issue for all food and supplement products. This is why, at my supplements company Kion, we negotiate higher up the supply chain to get fresher raw ingredients, have negotiated rights to reject products based on oxidation and use an ISO-certified fulfillment center specialized and certified for food warehousing and fulfillment.

The 61-Year-Old Biohacker Who Is DEFYING Aging On An Unbelievable Budget (Without Restricting Calories Or Using Testosterone!) With Dave Pascoe
Dave Pascoe is a recently retired network security architect/engineer, who at age 61 looks, feels, and behaves like a 38-year-old. That's because according to epigenetic age testing, Dave's cellular/biological age is 38! In today's episode, you'll get to discover how Dave is defying the aging process through his unique lifestyle approach. Despite not adhering to strict calorie restriction or veganism, his aging rate reached an impressive 0.66—placing him among the top contenders at the Rejuvenation Olympics (similar to my recent guest, Julie Gibson Clark). While quite a bit more involved than Julie Gibson Clark's protocol, some say Dave's approach to biohacking and longevity, costing him approximately $15,000/year, is quite a bit more affordable and more attainable to the average person than billionaire Bryan Johnson's expenditure of $2 million/year! Throughout the show, you'll get to uncover Dave's daily routine for remarkable health and vitality, from his consistent weight-bearing exercise since 2008 and post-workout sauna sessions to his nutrient-dense diet that avoids calorie counting. As the conversation progresses, you'll also explore Dave's use of supplements like DHEA, pregnenolone, and vitamin D to support his testosterone levels and overall well-being. Additionally, we touch upon the potential impact of cold thermogenesis, sleep protocols, and light mitigation techniques on longevity.

CRAZY Experiments With Vegan vs. Omnivore, Weighted vs. Body Weight?!, Plant Protein vs. Animal Protein (SHOCKING!), Long vs. Short Exercise & More With "The Turner Twins."
Hugo and Ross Turner are twin brothers and professional adventurers. I first discovered them when I came across their various diet and fitness experiments, in which they have studied the differences between a vegan vs. omnivore diet, weighted vs. body weight gym programs, animal protein vs. plant protein for muscle gain, and a 20-minute vs. a 40-minute gym program to discover if 40 minutes actually offers twice the benefits (you'd be surprised at the results, which we discuss in this podcast!). In 2007, Hugo narrowly missed paralysis after breaking his neck in a diving accident. In the mix of emotions that followed, a drive emerged to pursue their passion for exploration, anchored by three values: purpose, discovery, and always doing it together. Ross and Hugo have since gone on to complete many expeditions which include rowing the Atlantic Ocean, attempting to cross the Greenland ice cap, climbing Mt. Elbrus, and reaching several of the world’s continental poles of inaccessibility. Over the years, the twins have compared the clothing systems, kits, and food of past explorers against the latest modern equivalents to understand the performance differences. Working with scientific teams, they have provided unique insights into how the human body is affected by technology. They have reached several of the world's poles of inaccessibility while testing technology that helps fight climate change (like electric motorbikes), and recently tested a yacht powered by an electric motor and hydrogen fuel cell. These projects have supported the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.In this episode, you'll get an insider's look into the Turner Twins' various experiments and journeys mentioned above, plus you'll discover much more about their adventurous, explorative, and innovative lives. With that said, let's dive into how they can enhance your understanding of geography, technology, science, human performance, and history!

Reduce Hunger By 30%, Cravings By 40% & Calorie Intake By 18% WITHOUT Ozempic? The New, Natural Extract That *Crushes* Appetite, With Dr. Edward Walker
In an era of popular weight loss drugs, including GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic (semaglutide), Victoza (liraglutide), Wegovy, and Saxenda, many people are looking for safer, natural alternatives. Calocurb (use code BEN10 to save 10%) is a patented natural plant-based supplement clinically proven to reduce hunger by 30%, cravings by 40%, and calorie intake by an average of 18% — in just an hour. It does this by stimulating the body's own "feel full" hunger hormones cholecystokinin (CCK), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and peptide YY (PYY). In this episode, Dr. Edward Walker, a scientist and lecturer who helped develop Calocurb, will introduce you to the concept of the "bitter break" and the powerful plant extract, Amarasate, which has shown remarkable results in stimulating anti-appetite hormones when delivered to the small intestine. You'll also get to explore the science behind how this extract works, its impact on glucose and insulin levels, and much more! Over the last 13 years, Dr. Walker's primary research focus has been the investigation of plant-based appetite suppressants that may reduce hunger and support healthy food choices. This work led to the development of Amarasate, a novel New Zealand hops-based appetite suppressant that shares an overlapping mode of action with a new class of effective GLP-1-based anti-obesity drugs. He is passionate about plant-based nutraceuticals and believes that with the appropriate scientific research, they have the potential to improve health and wellness, and even prevent or delay the development of chronic disease. Whether you're interested in nutrition, weight management, or cutting-edge health science, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss. Tune in and discover how you can take control of your cravings and support your journey to better health!

What's REALLY Inside Lucy Gum and Feel Free Energy Drink, "Hidden" Ingredients in Nicotine Vapes And Candy, & More With Mass Spec Expert Ben Katz
Caffeine in your chocolate... synthetic cooling agents masking burning sensations in your gum, mints, and vapes... bioactive compounds you never expected in your cosmetics and beyond. What if the ingredients on the label don't tell the full story? In today's show, you'll meet Ben Katz, a scientist who exposes what's really in your popular supplements, foods, drinks, and other products using advanced analytical techniques on his popular MassSpecEverything social media channels. Throughout this fascinating discussion, you'll discover how Ben pulls back the curtain on consumer products using mass spectrometry and chromatography to identify and quantify chemical compounds. Additionally, you'll uncover the surprising truth about the levels of caffeine in chocolate and other candies marketed toward kids. Ben also reveals what he found after analyzing samples of two products that I frequently get asked about: “Feel Free," a bottled blend of kratom and kava (video here) and Lucy nicotine gum (video here). Ben specializes in the field of mass spectrometry, a technique used to identify and analyze chemical compounds. Mass spectrometry is an analytical tool useful for measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of one or more molecules present in a sample. These measurements can be used to calculate the exact molecular weight of the sample components as well — so technically, using a tool like Ben does, you can find out a lot about the supplements, drinks, gums, and other compounds you consume on a regular basis. Brace yourself as Ben explains the presence of concerning compounds like diphenylamine, a synthetic growth regulator sprayed on fruits and vegetables. He advocates for more transparency around these post-harvest treatments, even in organic produce. You'll also get Ben's take on cleaner sources of nicotine, flavors with potentially toxic effects, and cutting-edge technologies that could one day allow you to have a mass spectrometry device in your home. Whether you're a label scrutinizer or just curious about what's really in popular products, this eye-opening episode will leave you looking at the world of consumer goods in a whole new light!
