When you're working with actors and political pundits who NEED to shape dramatically transform their body fast, you learn how to optimize for body type.
Paul Catudal's book "Just Your Type: The Ultimate Guide To Eating And Training For Your Body Type." Is a how-to guide for living your best life with the body you were born with.
But Phil is not just a wealth of knowledge for getting your body right, but his story is very inspiring. Phil is a childhood cancer survivor and lost his father to cancer when he was young. What's more, is that his brother also developed cancer which he later beat.
This life experience shaped his life and his purpose.

Rob Fried is the CEO of Chromadex which makes TRU NIAGEN. And when you hear why he's so excited for this game-changing product - it'll all make sense.
SERIOUSLY - YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT - LINK HERE
I've been taking it for just over a month and here are the benefits I've noticed.
• More muscle mass
• Increased energy, especially in the evening time
• Motivated to get work done so I can enjoy the day
• Stronger drive to to play with my kids
The science is strong, the results are consistent and the formula is proven effective - so I'm excited to be releasing this conversation to you.
Here's the boiled down science. Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) when consumed, converts to NAD in the body. NAD is required for ATP production (energy).
Between the ages of 20 and 40, our NAD levels decrease by 50%, and another 50% from 40-60. Without sufficient NAD levels we simply cannot function at a high level of energy. When you supplement with NR, your body converts it, uses it, and makes you more efficient and more resilient at the cellular level.
Fascinating shit.
In this episode we cover:
• Why taking NAD orally is not efficient
• Why IV NAD protocols are not optimal
• How and why our NAD levels decrease over time
• The scientific support of TRU NIAGEN
• Why other companies offering NAD supplements are inferior
Enjoy!
Dr. Anthony G. Beck calls himself a sever up-streamist

In this episode we cover:
• Microbes have been evolving with us since before we were human
• 10% human refers to the statistic that there are 10x more microbes in and on the body that human cells. That number has shifted closer to 50% recently, but it says a lot about our relationship to microbes

I've struggled with how to present the write up for this episode, simply because I know it's so controversial. But I'll say this:
We're not being given the facts about the science (or lack thereof) behind vaccine safety.
We've been told vaccine injuries are 1 in 1-million. We've been told that they're safe an effective in protecting us from scary diseases. We've also been lead to believe that anyone who questions vaccines is diluted. But you're different. You ask questions. You're curious. You listen to eye-opening podcasts which present a broad spectrum of data and resources. SO, I present to you a fact-based conversation about the vaccine debate.
Del Bigtree - Founder of the Informed Action Consent Network (ICAN) is one of the most outspoken advocates for consumer safety on the planet, and he has the credentials to back it up. He's produced award-winning television shows including CBS "Doctors," "Dr. Phil," and has produced one of the most controversial documentary films ever released called "Vaxxed." "Vaxxed tells the story of CDC whistleblower Dr. William Thompson, who shared that the CDC covered up research that linked vaccines to autism.
In this episode, we tackle the issue of vaccine safety head on and Del shares with us cited, proven data that explains the Big Pharma's plan to inject all of us against our will. We also cover:
•Facts and figures FROM THE CDC, WHO, NIH and EPA about the dangers of our current vaccine schedule
• The failure in the system of reporting vaccine injuries
• How Big Pharma is protected from law suits from vaccine injuries.
•.0002% have a risk of dying of measles, and that includes some of the poorest nations in the world.
• How the third leading cause of death in the US is a trip to the hospital, where 250,000 are killed every year from hospital visits for something other than the reason they went in the first place.
• The benefits of getting measles as a child, and how Del hopes his kids get measles.
• The rest of the story when it comes to the Disney measles outbreak - and that 38% fo the cases were actually caused by the vaccine itself.
• Debunking the argument that vaccines protect immunocompromised children.
• What is vaccine shedding?
• What is a titer?
• How Big Pharma is out spending oil lobbies 2-1 to further their money grab

Delete your meditation apps. Learn to meditate without someone telling you what to do.
Fresh off his presentation at The Biohacking Conference - James Brown teaches meditation to a list of very cool companies - and I understand why - he's good.
"Meditation helps you make less mistakes."

WARNING: THIS EPISODE IS ENERGETICALLY POTENT
Author Paul Selig has written 6 books as a channeling medium.
These are the result of wisdom that is channeled through a group of non-physical masters. Paul has recorded an extraordinary program for personal and planetary evolution as humankind awakens to its own divine nature.
Why is this important for performance?
Each of us is looking for purpose, meaning and depth in our lives. We crave it - but most of us don't have references or resources to seek out meaning. The wisdom that Paul channels provides us with universal wisdom that we can learn in order to better understand ourselves. Once we can better understand ourselves in a purposeful way, we can live a deeper and more optimal life.
During this episode, Paul transitions from a normal 1-on-1 conversation into a state in which he begins to channel the wisdom directly from his spiritual guides. He speaks repetitively as a way to receive the words and then speak them out loud.
What we cover in this episode:
• What is the small self?
• What are the mantras that will help us know ourselves?
• How does having a deeper spiritual awareness help us?
• What can we do to better serve and be more aligned with our highest self?

The Renegade Pharmacist joins us for a fascinating conversation about personal health, self-empowerment, healing the self through breath, meditation, yoga and dance. His SOMA Breath program is a powerful process of healing from the inside out. BELIEVE ME...watch the testimonials on the site.
Niraj was a stressed out pharmacist for a major corporation in the UK which lead him to bed rest and pooping blood 40 times a day before he realized he had to make a massive shift in his life. The diagnosis and subsequent pharmaceuticals he was taking for his colitis proved ineffective in treating him.
His health and mental well-being got so bad that he began to have suicidal thoughts. It was the principles of breath and movement, plus colostrum and Aryuvedic eating approaches that healed him and lead him on a journey to help others.
NOW - Niraj produces music festivals, works with Wim Hof, hosts healing retreats and advocates for healing from within.

Dr. Que is the co-founder and principal investigator at the Center For Deuterium Depletion in Los Angeles, California. Que has been using deuterium and tracer technologies to describe and follow the health status of patients with metabolic disorders such as cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.
Our conversation really pushes the boundaries of common awareness in the realm of disease prevention, optimal performance, longevity and more.
This is the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to why your favorite nutritional approaches like keto, IF, OMAD work and make you feel so vibrant.
IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER:
• What is deuterium? (hint, it's the other hydrogen)
• How we can become more effective as adults (who are done growing) can be more effective at depleting our bodies of this over-abundant "Heavy Hydrogen"
• My deuterium test results...
• Dr. Que along with Drs. Laszlo Boros M.D., Gábor Somlyai and Anne Cooper and their audacious goal of "making cancer optional in the next 5 years."
This is cutting edge research that is already making waves across the planet. But, it's not new...there have been 4 Nobel Prizes awarded for research in Deuterium, this team is dedicated to bringing this information to the masses.

PACKED WITH USEFUL INFORMATION!
Dr. Stephen Cabral was debilitatingly sick from age 17-27 and was determined to figure out what standard western medicine couldn't.
He traveled to India, China and Europe - saw over 50 doctors and underwent over 100 treatment protocols to solve what was ailing him.
Why was he sick? Why weren't the pharmaceuticals effective in treating his symptoms? Sound familiar?
We all know someone who is dealing with a medical issue that continues to elude western medicine. Well, consider The Rain Barrel Effect, which Dr. Cabral uses to characterize the accumulation of toxins in the body as a leading cause of disease.
Enjoy

Goal setting: The most clear and direct way to approach your goal setting and achieve your dreams.
SMART GOALS: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time Bound
To-do lists: There's an optimal way.
Automatic Negative Thoughts: These are likely stopping you, or least slowing you down before you even start.
McCormick's Moon Fast: Recalibrating your mental, physical and spiritual systems with a detox of sorts...starting on Jan 5th.
The host has become the guest this week! I've brought in my coach and mentor Adam Harman to host the podcast and pick my brain. You can find me and my work at the Sean McCormick site.
Recently featured in a powerful Mens Health Magazine article - Dan Doty from Evryman shares with us some of his insights on male emotions and what we can all do in order to grow. Facilitating men's groups and outdoor expeditions all over the country - Evryman is doing the deep work that so many men have never done.
The way you handle your emotions are holding you back from living optimal. Here's where to start.
Just when you think you have it all figured out! You may be not getting enough sunshine, and too much artificial blue light.
Our bodies are barraged by harmful blue light everyday and every night, harming our body's ability to make melatonin that help repair our mitochondria when we sleep.
Don't worry though, Matt Maruca has a plan.
When asked "What have you put in your body today?" his answer is totally unexpected. Matt Maruca is the owner fo Ra Optics, makers of the world's finest blue blocking glasses (seriously they're awesome). But beyond blocking harmful blue light, he's developing a protocol that will help you take your performance to the next level.
In today's episode Matt casts a wide and deep net, covering a number of topics including the work of researchers in the area of deuterium depletion. He reference's the work of Dr. Jack Kruse, Dr. Laszlo Barros, Dr. Alexander Wunsch.
You might be getting duped. If you've purchased mushroom supplements in the past from the other guys, you're probably taking grain pills with some mycelium in them. Jeff has literally written the book on fungi, and he shares vast networks of information with us.
There's no hiding it anymore. Cannabis is the future of medicine. Envision a world of CBD infused crackers at grocery stores, tinctures available at movie theaters and classes among classes of drugs to everything from turf-toe to insomnia. As the world becomes more accepting to the powers and uses of cannabis - it's important to know what you're consuming. Mike Ricker - Co-founder of Wam Oil joins the OPP to break it all down...and with style.
Finally something very unique to the meditation space. Sarah McDevitt, CEO and Founder of Core dives deep with me into meditation and explains how Core uses a vibrating hardware device paired with an app for maximizing your meditation experience.
I recently visited Doctor and Author Elena Zinkov at Proactive Health Clinic near Seattle to go over my blood work.
Why should you care?
Most MDs don't have the time and aren't incentivized to go through your blood work with you. And, since I'm a keto eating, nootropic taking, go-getter like you...I figured it would be helpful to go over Metabolic Panels, Lipid Panels, Sex Hormones and more.
If you haven't done blood work in a while, GO DO IT! It's important to know your baselines. Use the first half of this episode to follow along with your blood work.
The second half of the episode we cover cravings and how they're tied to our brain chemicals, health insurance alternatives (for all you entrepreneurs out there) and a lot more.
Enjoy!

On today's episode of the Optimal Performance Podcast, we digging with Nina Teicholz called The Big Fat Surprise. This book took 10 years to write because Nina got into so many different studies about how saturated fats were bad for you.
Her book tells the story of why it is the way that it is now, why the food pyramid is set up the way it is and it's a fascinating conversation overall.
A lot of us already know why butter, meat and cheese belong in a healthy diet. That's not that off the wall for most of you listeners. But Nina gets into the politics and policy surrounding around our nations health guidelines.
We've included 2 of the studies that Nina Teicholz mentions including the Paddon-Jones review (first laid out the meal distribution argument) and the PROT-AGE study group (the paper that "protein folks" always use to begin our arguments that the RDA is not adequate for older adults).
It's a really cool converation, it moves moves quickly and I think you're all gonna enjoy.

In this episode of the Optimal Performance Podcast, we talk with Dr. Michael Bruce. Dr. Bruce is THE guys for sleep. He's been on Dr. Oz, has worked with many high profile wellness professionals, doctors and researchers.
He has come up with these sleep chronotypes are (I happen to be a bear meaning I go to sleep at a standard time like 10pm and wake up at 6am). This conversation dives deep into sleep quality, melatonin, CBDs and what effect they have on sleep improvement and we also talk about how sleep effects our performance. Common knowledge like the 8 hour of sleep rule? A MYTH!
Once become aware of how you like to sleep, you can do things like get ready to sleep like blue blocking glasses, drinking water as soon as you wake up to feel more refreshed, and other life hacks to make your sleep the most revitalizing experience possible.
I think you're going to get a LOT out of this episode.

On this podcast we sit down the cofounder of Eng3, Rowena Gates, which is a biotech company that sells and creates the NanoVi. The NanoVi is a pretty incredibly technical and scientific little device that uses structured water to speed recovery.
This incredible piece of biotech runs water through a tube that structures the water in such a way that when the vapor is inhaled, it is immediately absorbed into your body. This helps with protein folding, which an essential part of our recovery and vitality. The NanoVi helps people who are recovering from disease or radiation and it can be found in various clinics across the country.
Our convo ranges form how to use the NanoVi, who it could help, and what the possible potential is when using the NanoVi with regularity. We also talk about oxidative stress and how the NanoVi helps it as well as complementary services and methods that you can use alongside the NanoVi to live a more optimal life.
As the masters and tinkerers of our own body who are always looking for the next breakthrough in performance tech and the NanoVi is that. I've tried it a couple of times and I definitely received a bit of an energy boost (which is never a problem for me!)

In this episode of the OPP I talk with Dr. Michael Fossel. We have an amazing conversation about longevity, a possible cure for Alzheimers and other cognitive degenerative diseases. Dr. Fossel is the author of The Telomorase Revolution and is the founder and former Editor in Chief of Rejuvenation Research.
He's best known best for his views on telomerase therapy as a possible treatment for cellular senescence in human age related disease. Our conversation moves really quickly, and I get to ask how we include our longevity, his stack, personal work, and the potential for human trials into the reversal of Alzheimers.
Alzheimers is brutal and this is pretty big stuff.

We're really going there this week...
Our conversation with Paul Austin takes us down the rabbit hole of microdosing: using sub-perceptual doses of psychedelics to perform at a higher level.
Our specific and narrow look explores which psychedelics and at what doses to experience different effects. We discuss the different application of microdosing psilocybin, LSD, and MDMA, to perform at a higher level, think creatively, and reduce depression and anxiety.
For those of you pushing the boundaries of your brain and performance, this is a must hear discussion.

This week’s episode is a wide ranging conversation with NFL kicker Steven Hauschka. I met Steve when he was playing with the Seattle Seahawks and floating at Float Seattle; now he plays for the Buffalo Bills. He’s got an interesting take on things; he’s a thoughtful guy, a biohacker and always looking for techniques and tips to be his absolute best. We talk about mediation, athletes speaking their minds, techniques for optimal performance, tribalism, life after football, society in general and much more!
Podcasting and the Joe Rogan Experience (3:30) Steve has been a long time Joe Rogan's Podcast listener and when he’s always wondered what it was like to be one of the guests. It’s a tricky thing because you could be exposed when you talk for an hour, it is not just a premeditated interview! That’s what makes podcasts so interesting: it’s actually just a conversation. That is the beauty of it too. You really get to know the people and get to see everything.
Going Deeper With Athletes (10:00) With publications like Derek Jeter’s Players Tribune, athletes write articles themselves and share their experiences. And may come as a surprise to some that Steve insists that athletes are definitely as human as it gets with just as many flaws and issues as everyone else in the world. To be able to speak openly or as openly we can think that we can get in the fact that, millions and millions people are going to read exactly what we write.
Steve feels like there is a shift coming in the way that we consume media and in the way we understand story telling so that outlets like the players should be in or blogs by athletes because we are so visible and we mean so much to such a giant group of people and they want to hear the opinion about X or Y or Z. If it is all filtered through just blurb after blurb, there is nothing there.
Growth And Repair (19:40) Steve says that if we break it down, it's not really that complicated to get like good work out but we see all these information with all those stupid products. People try to sell gym memberships - they don’t care if we go to the gym - they just want to sell you the membership.
We get these different machines but nobody knows how to use them, so once again we have to weed your way through that –“what’s the best in there and I have figured out that the bodies are incredible, if you can invest your time and body, you feel amazing, you just feel amazing”, we need to get private instruction at the beginning just to learn it.
Growth For 2018 (34:10) Even though you know people are working all year and a lot of people skip their vacations or they are banking their vacations for later, there is still opportunities for everybody to continue to dig or continue to fact find and find resources that help them in their life.
In terms of Steve’s growth for 2018, the goal is research. He essentially had to find a new formula for success in Buffalo because he saw different therapist in the Luciano area and he had a specific workout routine. When we are working with different people, there is no way to keep it the same. So he knew he had to find a new system in Buffalo.
Part of this he was able to maintain and part of this was like he had to take a step back and think- what’s going on here, what I need to work on and he want to act on basics, He is going to work with his foundation with his trainer. He is investing his time in those two things. It’s not always about what you do but how you do it.
He also bought himself a pair of rollerblades. Because when were rollerblades ever not cool?
Stresses of Football (41:00) Being an NFL kicker can certainly have its stresses. "We put in all the work, you have your program and we are going to do that no matter what, and then things can happen that are totally out of our control." NFL kickers are specifically expected to be perfect and this combination of perfectionism and uncertainty can weigh on anyone.
Tribalism (45:10) It's in our DNA to worry about what the other members of the tribe think. We connect our identities to these ideas and then when people have a different opinion, we enter Fight or Flight mode since you're defending your own identity. We have to realize it's great we have different opinions; it's how we form a better future and evolve our culture.
Best Parts of Football (52:00) "There's an amazing ability to spread positivity when you play for a football team," Steve says. In his first couple of years in Seattle, he saw the city improve alongside the team on their way to being Super Bowl champions. There are infinite opportunities for good, like meeting 5 year old Madeline Herman, a pediatric cancer patient with whom he developed a friendship and was able to shine a light on.
Life After Football (62:15) At the end of the day, we just need more awareness. If people are more aware, they will pass that on to other people who will make good decisions with the best interests of humanity in mind.
Meditating (75:25) Steve says that if there was one thing people were to take away from this episode, it would be to meditate. That’s the tool. There’s a constant flow of things into our lives for our brains to handle and you've gotta give it some time to breathe.
"Meditating is the superpower that nobody uses but everbody has. You’re never gonna 'get there'. There’s no end-goal, there’s no winning; that’s why they call it a practice."

Minimum Effective Dose.
If you're like me, you're interested in getting the most from the least. That's really the nature of bio-hacking and performance optimization right? How can we all get the most return from our output. What movements, dietary supplements, and therapies can we do to perform at our highest levels?
If yer jiving with this... you should be rowing. Greg Hammond from Concept2 joined me for a ranging conversation about fitness, performance and active lifestyles. Greg really broke down why rowing is the ideal exercise - it goest something like this.
• More than any other exercise equipment the rower engages your entire body, from your ankles all the way up to the top of your shoulders.
• QUADS. The rowing motion safely and consistently engages your quads, which are obviously essential for your physical performance.
• Each rowing motion engages your core. It's a contraction and release motion that's like doing a ton of crunches.
So who uses the Concept2 rower?
High performers. There are several Concept2 rowing machines at the Olympic Games in PeyongChang South Korea. Olympic Biathlon competitor Emily Dreissigacker who is the daughter of the Concept2 founders and former Olympians Judy Greer and Dick Dreissigacker. Who else trains on the Concept2?
• 2016/2017 Crossfit Champion Mat Fraser
• Crossfit phenom Rich Froning
• Hugh Jackman
• Countless Olympic athletes
• Natural Stacks co-founder Ben Hebert (wink)
Greg and I talk about the future of exercise and how genetic technology, blood testing and bespoke recovery approaches will continue to evolve. As an exercise science major in college, Greg mentioned that there wasn't much information about blood markers or the recovery process. It'll be interesting to see where it leads. And by golly, I'm committed to staying at the cutting edge.
Greg also gives all of us an intro to the rowing machine. Heck, I learned something.
Did I mention we're giving one of these bad-boys away? In addition to the Concept2 Rower we're also adding a Polar H10 heart rate monitor to elevate your home fitness game.
As always, thanks for listening, and hit me up for feeback! sean@naturalstacks.com

By now, you know that our brains and bodies can run on various fuel sources.
No longer confined to run on glucose, we know that FAT is not only an effective fuel source, but often preferred for high performance.
But what if you've never been fat adapted?
What if you're yet to take that plunge to re-program your metabolism, give us sugar and get yourself into ketosis.?
What if you've never measured your blood ketones, but are are curious about the wonderful world of ketone esters, ketone salts and (of course) optimal performance.
Exogenous ketones my friends. Exogenous ketones.
I've been eating for ketosis about 80/20 for about 2.5 years. Meaning, most of my meals are keto-friendly, high fat, moderate protein, low carb. I have a cheat day though, sometimes two.
But, after trying exogenous ketones twice in one week, I can tell you, there's a shortcut.
My first test with Ketoneaid went like this: Woke up, opted for black coffee instead of my daily butter coffee (upon suggestion), skipped breakfast as well as my typical Natural Stack supplements: Krill, D3, Curcumin, Vit C, Ciltep, MycoImmune, MycoMind. Then around 930am, I tested my blood ketones and they read .4. Mind you, the standard fat-burning ketosis range starts at .5 - but it was the day after the superbowl and I watched at Ben's house...and his lady Deana made these ridiculous chocolate chip cookies (I had 3).
After my first blood test reading of .4 - I chugged the 30 grams of Ketoneaid. Within 20 min I was in full ketosis.
Frank Llosa is the founder and CEO of KetoneAid - the same ketone ester company that raised over $150,000 on Indiegogo to continue research on their ketone ester product. They had so many people pre-order the product, that they had to stop the offer. YOU COULD SAY PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED.
Frank is an interesting and energetic guy. I had a great time talking with him. He got into the wide world of ketones after his wife's godfather - the creator of the exogenous ketone Dr. Richard Veech tapped him on the shoulder.
Our conversation ranges from both the very technical, to the standard operating procedures when taking exogenous ketones.
Here's some highlights:
- There are some key differences between salts and esters. They are the same in that they are both beta hydroxybutyrate, but ketone salts are bonded with salts and ingested (and to get an effect you have to eat half a salt shaker to see the increase - whereas ketone esters are bonded with 1 3 butanediol which is an organic alcohol.
- With effective ketone esters like Ketoneaid, there is a point of diminishing returns. You can actually get too much energy, which may be wasted if you're not burning energy for performance.
- You can take Ketoneaid for mental performance (which I did) or for physical performance.
- Frank suggests that consumer grade ketone esters like Ketoneaid will be available at convenience stores at some point in the near future, as a healthier option to energy drinks.
- If you're used to ketosis. As in, if your baseline is a ketogenic state, then you may not benefit or notice the effect of the exogenous ketones. We said in the podcast "You can't be in more flow then then flow."
Back to my first exogenous ketone ester experience.
I tested my blood ketones 20 min after drinking the 30gram bottle of Ketoneaid - and they had jumped from .4 to 2.9. That's full ketosis. I tested 20 min later and again got 2.9, then I kept working and did another test at 60 min and it registered at 3.2. My cognitive speed noticeably increased, as well as my vocabulary. I was able to focus faster and more clearly almost immediately. I liked the energy boost as well. Energy without jitters.
After talking with Frank a little more about baselines, he suggested that I do another test, but take the same standard vitamin/nootropic stack i usually do. So, about a week later I took another 30 gram test, on top of my daily stacks.
At 930am I tested my blood ketones beforehand again, and I was at .5. Then I drank another 30 grams of Ketoneaid and tested after 20 min. They had jumped to 3.4! Also, my immune system had been tested all week by a cold that both my kids and wife had been working through. I was holding out, and at the day of my second test, I woke up with a bit of dryness in the sinuses and a little brain fog...not bad, but noticeable.
I was actually pretty interested in seeing what effect, if any the Ketoneaid had on my incoming cold symptoms. After a second post-drink test, I was at 4.2 (well within the ideal range of ketosis). This day wasn't a big cognitive load day, instead, my family was headed to the beach to walk and built driftwood forts. But, after driving about 15 minutes I felt like the pressure mounting in my sinuses and brain fog had lifted noticeably and I actually mentioned to my wife that i felt much better.
I didn't test again that day, but I did notice a few things:
- My bourgeoning cold symptoms suppressed. Whether that's my own badass immune system or the MycoImmune or what, I don't know. But, I didn't get sick.
- I felt a mood increase, a brain speed increase, and even a slight increase in my wit. At least I thought I was funnier my wife and kids may not :).
- I felt a natural energetic increase. Despite feeling the start of a start of a cold, the symptoms decreased and really dissipated over the next 24 hours.
- I didn't experience a drop off or anything like that. Perhaps it was the 3pm cup of tea I had while conversing with my folks at their house, but I didn't get tired until my typical repose around 915pm.
This was my first experience with Ketoneaid, or any other sort of ketone ester. I like it. I can absolutely see why it's getting these really exceptional results for people. Of course, I took the mind protocol, which Frank explained to me in an email. But the other protocol is for performance and I can clearly see how it's effective in that respect.
I'd do it again for sure. And since it sounds like the goal is to make it available at convenience stores everywhere (but probably health food stores and amazon before that), it sounds like everyone will have the chance to try it.
I don't know of any research that says exogenous ketone esters are harmful. I think it's really really early in the process to try and understand how all of this works, the effects and it's uses.
But I dig the stuff.

I've done Ayahuasca around 25 times, but never with a shaman who was also a Western medical doctor.
Until recently.
Dr. Joe Tafur is a fascinating human being and author of a new book called The Fellowship of the River - A Medical Doctor's Exploration Into Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicine. Dr. Tafur and I dive into a deep conversation surrounding the power of psychedelic shamanism.
Highlights:
• How we need to take care of our emotional bodies in order to #liveoptimal
• The interplay between western medicine an Amazonian Plant Medicine
• Spiritual states, flow states and how optimal performance depends on our "soul health"
• The emergence and importance of psychedelic research i.e. MAPS
• The importance of spiritual healing in modern health care i.e. Modern Spirit
• The difference between experimentation with psychedelics and entheogenic healing
• The power of plant medicine retreats like the ones at Nihue Rao in Peru
Lets take a step back though. What is Ayahuasca? Ayahuasca is a lot of things. It's a plant vine found in parts of Central and South America. It's sometimes called to the vine of souls, or spirit vine. It's one medicine in a vast array of plant medicines from the deep and ancient practice of traditional plant medicine.
Think about it this way. Most of the compounds we take in our supplements are derived from plant sources. These plants are powerful additives to our diets and allow us to live and perform at higher levels. Ayahuasca is the same, but instead of the value resting solely on the chemical components, it's the visionary, transformative properties of the plant that have the effect. That, coupled with the skill of an experienced shaman, healer, is the basis of the amazonian plant medicine. Of course...it goes deeper than that.
But what does all of this mean for you?
A lot of us deal with varying levels of emotional distress. Depression is now the number one mental illness on the planet and depression has a high co-morbidity rate with anxiety (meaning they usually come hand in hand). And that's why Serotonin Brainfood is such a popular supplement. I know I prefer a natural open source supplement for improved well-being over some pharmaceutical with WHO KNOWS in it. But, beyond supplements there is deeper work we can do in order to live more optimally.
Here are a few ways you can help nourish your emotional body
• Connect in nature. GO OUTSIDE, sit by a tree, or take a forest bath.
• Cultivate or connect with a community.
• Take time to do simple things that connect your inner-self, floatation therapy, meditation, walks etc.
And if you're in need of something stronger to get yourself back on track, take a look at a Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicine.
If anyone has questions about this work, or wants to pick my brain about it - email me - sean@naturalstacks.com
Optimally,
Sean McCormick

This week on the OPP, we’re decoding our genetics by analyzing 23&Me data with Dr. Anthony Jay. Author of Estrogeneration and a previous guest on the OPP (#97), Dr. Jay is back to talk Epigenetics by using our 23&Me data to look at our single nucleotide polymorphisms, or snips (SNP). These polymorphisms (not mutations), or DNA snips are the most common variations in our genes, playing a direct in the function of those genes and serving as biological markers for certain disease risks, among other health implications. Dr. Jay analyzes 23 & Me to investigate 3 key areas: detoxification, disease risk, and overall health. On this episode, Dr. Jay analyzes my DNA snips and you’ll hear: * How single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP or snips) occur and how scientists use them as biological markers * What these DNA snips reveal about our disease risks and other epigenetic tendencies * The 3 crucial areas Dr. Jay analyzes * My results * What our detox genes reveal about our affinity for adrenaline, our ability to clear medications and caffeine from our system, and why bad coffee is a real thing * What we can learn about our genetic risk for certain diseases - especially Alzheimer’s * The exact genes and snips we need to looks at for this data * The MTHFR gene, methylation and what you need to know about folic acid before you take another supplement * Dr. Jay also reveals the genes that 23&Me stopped reporting and why this should cause concern * The Top 3 Books Dr. Jay has read this year * And more…

Author of Burn Your Couch, Rick Alexander is human movement advocate, military veteran, and ultra endurance athlete. We talk about his book, why you seek adversity daily, choice architecture, mindset, and intentional lifestyle design.
If you refuse to settle for the status quo, then this episode of the OPP has your name all over it.
Rick is a human movement advocate, US Military Veteran, entrepreneur who owns 2 businesses, podcaster, author of the upcoming book Burn Your Couch and an ultra-endurance athlete, who recently finished the Tahoe 200, where he ran 205 miles in 76 hours.
Rick, like many of us, is intensely curious about the limits of our potential - both physical and mental. He's constantly pushing his own boundaries, documenting them through his podcast, articles, and now his book (and an upcoming project we discuss on the podcast) so that he can help others do the same in their lives.
This is fantastic glimpse into the mind and habits of one of the strongest-minded individuals you will ever meet.
My Big 3 Takeaways
- Don't confuse comfort for happiness.
- Expose yourself to adversity as often as possible - even daily as Rick does.
- Take time to reflect. Many of us are committed to life-long growth and evolution, but it is the stillness between experiences that allows us to identify our gaps or blind spots that we need to strengthen in order to continue growing.
I hope you enjoy this show as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Dr. Porges's Top 3 Tips to Live Optimal
Resprana CEO Sophie Frank on how they're revolutionizing personal air filtration and changing the way the world breathes with a new approach to fighting air pollution.
With their innovative design on wearable air filters (WAF), Resprana seeks to offer all the protection of a mask (if not more) - without the mask.
Air pollution kills 7 million people every year - including 2 people every minute in India alone. When the Air Quality Index (AQI) was created, the scale was 0-500. Cities like Beijing, China and Delhi, India routinely measure AQI's at 700 to 1,000 - well above the top end of that scale.
As I write this, the current AQI in Mexico City is 868 and the prevalence of yellow (moderate), orange (unhealthy) and red (hazardous) AQI's around the world is alarming. (Find a link to this real-time AQI map on the blog post.)
As you'll hear from Resprana CEO Sophie Frank, air pollution is something we should all pay more attention to. "We're not opting into this behavior, it's presented to us because of the world's situation."
- 7 million die a year from effects of air pollution; 2 people every minute
- Environment matters
- City wide pollution
- It's not just urban areas - forest fires, earthquakes, and volcanoes affect air quality
- Spending one day on New Delhi same as smoking 2 packs of cigarettes
- When does Sophie wear protection herself in certain cities, and how does she decide?
- Correlation of exposure to pollution to cancer?
- Resprana next fashion accessory, while decreasing exposure to pollution
- Serve the need of the larger populations and increasing distribution through strategic partnerships with the corporate and hotel industries
- Using 3D printers to better the distribution
- Phase 2: Customizing and enhancing product as piece of jewelry - something users are proud to wear
- Get Sophie's Top 3 Tips to #LiveOptimal

Today’s episode of the OPP features straight-shooting Texas-based holistic doctor, Stephen Lewis who specializes in chronic fatigue syndrome, thyroid issues and heavy metal detoxification. On this episode, we talk about why US chicken farmers won’t eat their own chickens (you shouldn’t either), how heavy metal get into our bodies, disrupt hormonal function and health and what you can do about, as well as other strategies to detoxify our bodies and help optimize our health and energy levels. Dr. lewis shares some of his favorite vitamins, minerals, and herbs for detoxification, hormone optimization, cancer-fighting, and energy metabolism. We cover: * Differences in US vs European health and obesity levels * Why chicken farmers won’t eat their own chickens * Heavy metal detoxification - arsenic, lead, mercury… * Why grumpy polar bears are indicative of global toxic loads * Cadmium and men’s prostate health * "Detoxify or Die" * Why 6-week detoxes suck and what you need to do to turn on your natural detoxification pathways * Top causes and indicators of chronic fatigue - and what you can do about it * Vitamin B5 for stress, and the power of Selenium and Ashwaganda * Cancer and hypo-methylation * Is magnolia bark the next super supplement? * Road rage in the US vs other other countries * Why finding peace is so powerful for our health
Find out why the world's top neuroscientists believe this "groundbreaking" device can reduce body fat and change our set points without any changes to diet or exercise.
Neurovalens CEO Dr. Jason McKeown (trained under V.S. Ramachandran) has created a groundbreaking technology that uses vestibular stimulation to "biohack" the hypothalamus, the portion of our brain that serves as the control center for the hormones that regulate weight, appetite and body composition.
On the show we talk about:
- Discover how the hypothalamus controls body fat levels and appetite
- Learn how neurovestibular stimulation works
- Why our bodies are prepared to store fat than to burn fat (HINT: our ancestors were more likely to starve to death than overeat on a regular basis
- Can MODIUS really help us lower this "set point"? And do it without changing our diet or exercise?
- If it’s real, then it can withstand criticism and if it crumbles to criticism it wasn’t real
- Do they see benefit other than the superficial body fat reduction? And what can they say without upsetting the FDA?
- If this device works by replicating motion, why not walk or play flag football - something that is actually a motion, rather than stimulating it? (This Jason's ultimate goal, but he sees MODIUS as a bridge for millions.)
- The paradigm shifting study done by NASA in the 60’s
- What you build your self-esteem around matters (Tom’s advice)
- Why it's good to be open to being wrong
The Obesity Epidemic in the US has reached an all time high, with every state's population being > 20-25% obese, some states as high as 35-40%. MODIUS may be a life changing tool for millions of people who struggle to reduce fat.
This episode of the OPP is for everyone who was ever told they were too short, too slow, or not good enough.
Told he was too short for years, Govert Viergever ignored the doubters, honed his craft, created an opportunity for himself and capitalized, earning himself a spot on the Dutch Olympic team for the 2016 Rio Games.
After a 5th place finish, he and teammates have their sights set on gold in 2020 and today, Govert is on the OPP explaining how biohacking and functional medicine have fueled his success.
Focused and determined to succeed, Govert explains how he's using neurofeedback, cold and hot thermogenesis, keto dieting in his training program and he shares the secrets to behind his training, recovery, mindset and more:
- Chasing your dreams despite the doubters and obstacles
- How Govert plans his training to develop both aerobic (power) and anaerobic (endurance) capacities
- Find out how he cycles his carbs and use the ketogenic diet to support these training goals
- The difference between having a condition, and being a condition - "I may have a splinter" but that doesn't mean "I am a splinter"
- Tackle the problems you can measure
- Tracking HRV, sleep, and using the Oura Ring
- Goal setting and staying focused for a 4-year training cycle from 1 Olympic Games to the next
Our guest this week is leading digestive health expert, Dr. Michael Murray. Dr. Murray has authored more than 30 books on natural approaches to health and optimization.
On today's episode we explore digestive health and dispel common misconceptions regarding heartburn medications, enzymes, probiotics and the public's perception of the term "natural".
A few of the common digestive health questions we address:
- Digestive Enzymes vs. Probiotics (When and Why to use each)
- Why you should avoid the class of heartburn medications known as Proton Pump Inhibitors (like Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid, etc)
- Discover the natural alternatives to these drugs
- Why the public links "natural" with "not scientific"
- Learn why Ginger and Licorice should be staples in your pantry
- Why the "therapeutic dose" matters in the food vs. supplement debate
- How certain drugs get on the market before researchers fully understand their impact and what it takes to eventually pull them once we know they're harmful
If you enjoy this episode, you can get more gut health information in Dr. Murray's FREE online Digestive Health Summit 9/9-9/17
"Success leaves footprints" is one of the rules I live by. It's one of the most powerful truths I know of, and it's extremely applicable to today's episode of the OPP featuring 2-time Olympian Peter Shmock.
Peter is in the Oregon University Track Hall Of Fame. He was on the same track team as Steve Prefontaine (the Steve McQueen of running), was mentored and coached by the legendary Bill Bowerman - the same Bill Bowerman who invented the waffle outsole running shoe and helped Phil Knight found a little running shoe company called...NIKE!
Aside from his Olympic, Oregon, and Nike connections, Peter has coached a wide range of elite performers, from professional baseball players (Seattle Mariners for 11 years) to professional dancers in the Pacific Northwest Ballet.
To say he knows a thing or two about excellence and longevity is an understatement.
His new book, The Way of The Life Athlete lays it all out, but I take you inside his brain for an inside look at the common traits shared by some of the world's most successful people - in sport, business, and life.
Amid great storytelling, here are few of the key lessons Peter shares in this episode:
- Find a proven method, trust it and follow it with remarkable consistency.
- Mentors can be game-changers, but you must be open to learning
- The most successful people are lifetime learners
- Flow like water & be adaptable - life will inevitably throw you curveballs and chaos
Get the details and the rest of Peter's sagely wisdom on this killer episode of the OPP.
Increasing strength and boosting brain power with Dr. Birk.

Beyond Blue Light: Why Technology is Killing Our Eyes
Daniel Georgiev is a Bulgarian programmer who created Iris, special software designed to protect our eyes from the harmful effects of increased screen time.
If you're an OPP listener, you're no stranger to blue light and it's impact on our hormones and sleep. But our increased screen time is killing our eyes for more reasons than blue light.
In fact, Daniel says blue light is the least of concerns when it comes to overall eye health.
We cover:
- the problem with blue blocking glasses and screens
- pulse waves from LED screens (flicker rate)
- optimal brightness
- why Kindle screens are "healthier"

East meets West in this week's OPP featuring Scott Dolly, owner of Evolution Human Performance and Rehabilitation.
With an education that spans Physics, Biology, Qi Gong, Yoga, Mediation and more, Scott marries the best of Eastern and Western philosophies into his practice which he focuses on the the Neural Patterns in the Biomechanics of Movement, Scraping & Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Alignment.
After he assessed, analyzed, scraped, poked and prodded on me for several hours, Scott and I sat down in his Winchester, VA facility to talk about :
- Why normal and average are misused terms
- Tuning a human like a guitar: energy, vibrations resonance frequencies and the musical notes that correspond to each of the 7 chakras
- Proper motor sequencing in the biomechanics of movement: from cerebellum to motor cortex to the muscles that fire
- Why foam rolling is a good "warmup" for IASTM & soft tissue mobilization
- What the heck is scraping?
- Self-diagnosing your anterior pelvic (if you don't know what it is, you probably have it)
- Why stretching doesn't always work: you cant remove a knot from rope by pulling on the rope
- Why stability is more important than strength
- Why a tool is only as good as the person using it
- Open-chain vs closed-chain movements
- Biohacks to accelerate healing (from a man who is 6 weeks out of an Achilles rupture)
- Why Evolution Human Performance and Rehabilitation has performance enhancing blue lights in the facility
Big thanks to Scott for opening his facility and his mind to us. This is a truly insightful podcast and one I'm sure you'll enjoy.
"Few observers have truly internalized the implications of the fact that the rate of change itself is accelerating." - Ray Kurzweil, founder at Singularity U
The future is coming faster than we think. Don’t be a passive passenger.
Think for yourself, think ahead and ask questions - don’t follow blindly.
Today's guest on the OPP is Hannes Sjob, the Chief Disruption Officer at Epicenter Stockholm and a faculty member at Singularity University.
Hannes takes us on a fascinating glimpse into the future of wearable - and implantable - technologies, Artificial Intelligence and the intersection of BioTech with biohacking, health and Big Data.
What’s coming? What does it mean?
What can we do with it?
On the positive side, we could see the democratization of medicine - a revolutionary shift in the way we proactively protect our health with real-time biofeedback from heart rates (already happening) to hormone levels along with suggestions for course corrections.
Are we really 2-5 years away from grain-of-rice-sized implants that could change the way medical systems operate and treat patients - especially important in rural and undeveloped areas where the nearest doctors are hundreds of miles away.
Conversely, on the futuristic Sci-Fi, skeptical side, there are serious questions that we need to ask (and answer) about tracking and monitoring - do we trust the people who have this data?
Who will access to it and what can they do with it? What are the real Big Data concerns? Can we encrypt certain information? (yes)
Technology is accelerating faster than most of us realize, and while it has tremendous potential upside, we need to have these conversations now while we still have the opportunity to curate the future we want for ourselves.
We won't have all the answers today, but we certainly need to start asking the right questions. Enjoy this show with Hannes and let us know your thoughts on Implants, AI, and the future of biohacking.
Andy Murphy is a leading high pressure performance coach for 7 and 8-figure entrepreneurs. He is not your typical mindset guru or NLP mental performance coach - and this is not your typical “design your dream life" podcast episode.
Andy explains how our neural networks shape our view of ourselves and how we move through the world - laying out the exact steps we can take daily to upgrade our minds for optimal performance.
We examine how our belief systems limit our thinking (and our possibilities), how the prefrontal cortex (PFC), neurotransmitters (like dopamine) and how our mirror neurons (read: social circles) influence our choices.
We also cover:
- Creating your alter-ego and moving through the world as that avatar
- The importance of a crystal clear vision for where you want to go
- Why you need to be on “auto-pilot” to attain peak performance
- What is “Connor McGregor thinking”? (And why you should be using it!)
- The problem with morning routines - and how to fix them
- The law of 33%
- How “mirror neurons” shape our thinking and influence our behaviors
- The problem with most “self-help” approaches
- How to make novelty and “shiny object syndrome” work FOR you - not against you
- Why the advice “ be the dumbest person in the room” doesn’t work for many people
Lifestyle design is an under discussed element of optimal performance. To not actively design our own lives is to leave them to chance. Andy’s unique talents to deliver actionable strategies make this episode of the OPP packed with tips to implement into your daily routine.
Is Cancer a Metabolic (Mitochondrial) Disease? Our guest on the OPP today, Dr. Thomas Seyfried says it is.
Dr. Thomas Seyfried is a leading cancer researcher, Biology professor at Boston College and author of the book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease. His work focuses on epigenetic and metabolic nutritional therapies for neurological and mitochondrial diseases. According to Dr. Seyfried, cancer is a mitochondrial metabolic disease. His Press-Pulse protocol of ketosis, fasting, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) created with colleague Dominic D’Agostino is producing amazing results in animals, dogs, and people. On today's show, we explore: * Why Dr. Seyfried thinks genetic tests are a waste of time & money * Why neuroinflammation should scare you (Hint: it's linked to almost every major disease) * How cancer could be single disease with a single cause, and a single cure * Why calories restriction - and fasting - signals our healthy cells to improve themselves * How ketosis starves cancer cells and helps heal the body * Why protecting our mitochondria may be our best method to reduce our risk of cancer * How Dr. Seyfried and Dominic D'Agostino linked up to create the Press-Pulse method of starving cancer with ketosis, then destroying it with Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments (HBOT) * The frustrating truth about why the scientific and medical communities are not rushing to fund studies and implement these treatment protocols
Dr. Seyfried is a brilliant man who is asking the right questions and taking great strides to advance our understanding of cancer and health in general. You'll hear and see more of Dr. Seyfried's Press-Pulse anticancer treatments in the book Tripping Over The Truth and the forthcoming Dog and Cancer Series.
We're honored to have him on the OPP, and excited to share this information with you.
Share this episode, tag us in your post, and you'll be entered to win a signed copy of Dr. Seyfried's Book "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease"
Today’s guest on the OPP is Dr. Cyrus Raji, a neuroradiologist at UCSF conducting structural and functional neuro imaging (brain scans) to investigate neuropsychiatric disorders, cognitive decline and head trauma. He was recently awarded the 2017 Alzheimer’s Grant by the ASNR and his colleague during his training at the University of Pittsburg was Bennet Omalu - the man portrayed by Will Smith in the movie Concussion. On the OPP today, we talk about the 7 modifiable lifestyle choices that could reduce Alzheimer’s diagnoses by 1 million worldwide. We discuss the amyloid plaques seen on brain scans for Alzheimer’s, why waiting for these to show up is too late and why amyloid removing drugs don’t work (Hint: neural cells are already dead) and how we might correct this with Growth Factors and lifestyle choices - like exercise - that stimulate the release of BDNF, aka Miracle-Gro for the brain. We also discuss the differences between depression and cognitive decline, what each looks like on the MRI, the difference between structural and functional brain scans, and the procedures that led to Bennet Omalu’s CTE discovery, and of course, the current news on NFL players and CTE. Dr. Cyrus Raji is truly a leader in the field of brain imaging to investigate depression, cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s and CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) - He has published over 30 peer-reviewed papers on these topics in such journals such as Neurology, Human Brain Mapping, the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, and the American Journal of Neuroradiology. I had a blast chatting with Dr. Raji and I’m sure you’ll love this episode.
I’ll spare you the sensationalized, click-bait headline about how spirulina and chlorella are the missing nutrient in your diet that are 1000X more powerful than fruits and vegetables. But, technically speaking, one gram of algae – the amount in a single tablet – contains the nutritional equivalent of 1,000 grams of fruits and vegetables.
So make no mistake about it, these nutrient dense blue green algae, Spirulina (a bacteria) and Chlorella (a plant) are true superfoods. Spirulina contains 2.5X more protein per ounce than steak and 2-5X more antioxidants per ounce than leading fruits and vegetables. A mere 30 gram serving of chlorella has 5X the chlorophyll content of kale and contains more iron than liver. They’re also the most potent source of plant-based omega-3’s and Vitamin B12 - making them a powerful supplement for non-meat eaters. These nutrient powerhouses may be the most nutrient dense foods on the planet and Catharine Arnston of Energy Bits is on the OPP to share the details of how we can upgrade our diet with a 30-calorie snack that can: * support our mitochondria * boost ATP * enhance antioxidant capacity * buffer and remove lactic acid * speed recovery * remove heavy metals (detoxify body) * and possibly fight cancer*
These superfoods also contain 18,000-24,000 I.U.s per serving of the little known antioxidant Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) that is 3500X more powerful than Vitamin C.
Tune to learn more about the nutrient density of this powerhouse superfood, and how to get more of it into your diet.
Catherine also advises us on the 7 questions we need to ask when choosing our green supplements, including the source, how was the cell wall cracked, how is it processed, how is it packaged - find out the rest (and why these matter) on the show.
The most polarizing topic in medicine, the OPP vaccine debate did not disappoint.
We invited Yale Director of Public Health Dr. David Katz and the Paleo Cardiologist Dr. Jack Wolfson on to explore both sides of the vaccines conversation...what happened shocked me.
Our debate quickly turned into a 1-sided conversation as Dr. Katz excused himself from the recording.
As a health professional with a position likely funded by - and certainly supported by - the medical orthodoxy, I understand Dr. Katz’s reluctance to “pretend there is a legitimate debate” about the safety of vaccines. However, the pro-vaccine contingency’s strategy to "ignore the debate so the public will think there isn’t one” is more of a red flag than they realize. I, like many others feel like - if there is nothing to hide, we should be able to have an open, honest, transparent discussion about the safety of the public. Despite our loss of the pro-vaccine argument in this debate, I tried to present you an unbiased episode that is digging for answers. Admittedly, it’s hard to remain slant-free when one side is running TOWARD you with information and the other side is running AWAY from you. It seems the more and deeper we dig, the more confusing and frustrating this topic gets. This episode is packed with information and thought-provoking details…
Among the anti-vaccine information in this episode is the story presented in the Vaxxed Documentary where a CDC whistle-blower and co-author (William Thompson) on the “vaccines not linked to autism” study claims they fraudulently manipulated the data to deliver the outcome desired by the CDC and Big Pharma.
Tune in and let us know your thoughts.
Our guest on the OPP today is Eric Remensperger. Eric was diagnosed with inoperable Stage IV, metastatic Prostate Cancer - and survived.
Instead of radiation or chemotherapy, Eric used oxygen, light, fasting, ketosis, sleep and functional foods to improve mitochondrial, cellular, and immune function to defeat his cancer.
(Disclaimer: This is not medical advice.) This is the story of one cancer survivor - and his mission to share the information that saved his life.
On this information-packed, inspiring episode of the OPP you’ll hear:
- Why Eric says we’re all "cancering" ←→ healing on a spectrum at all times and what this means for our immune system and odds of developing cancer (the noun/condition we know)
- How fasting induces autophagy and promotes a stronger immune system - helping Eric fight off his cancerous growths
- How Eric used oxygen therapy to reduce lactic acid, and clear metabolic waste from cancer cells to stop their proliferation
- Learn the single 30-day cycle of medicine Eric used in his treatment (and why)
- Why morning sunlight plays a crucial in optimal health and wellbeing
- Ketosis: nutritional vs. therapeutic and how it impacts cancer
- Why Oxidative stress is beneficial and how it plays into balancing our electron transport system
- A self-professed health nut BEFORE his diagnosis, learn the single biggest mistake that Eric says led to his development of cancer
- Why Eric ditched his daily 48-ingredient superfood shake when he was diagnosed with cancer - and what he’s doing instead
- Hear how Eric’s daily routine is designed today in an effort to keep him healthy, cancer-free, and thriving
Thanks to Eric for sharing his story with us.

The New York Times calls it the $325,000 burger.
National Geographic calls it the petri-dish burger.
Impossible Foods calls their plant-based "meat" the Impossible Burger.
On this very special episode of the OPP, I chat with Chris Davis, Director of Research and Development at Impossible Foods to discuss their meat alternative - the Impossible Burger and it's impact (or lack thereof) on feeding the world, fixing the broken factory farming industry, and decreasing our massive food waste problem.
As the Impossible Foods website states: "The world loves meat. But relying on cows to make meat is land-hungry, water-thirsty, and pollution-heavy. That’s why we set out to do the impossible: make delicious meats that are good for people and the planet."
It's a great marketing message for the general public. It that all it is? Just an empty marketing message?
To the discerning Optimizer, or anyone who has given thought to the issue of feeding the world, there are gaps in the Impossible Foods mission (as you'll hear).
I'm grateful for Rosie and Chris's willingness to set this up and allow me to press them deeper on this conversation about the future of the world's food supply.
It's clear to me that I'm at a different point on the purist-pragmatist spectrum than Chris and Impossible Foods.
I'd like to think I'm not a naive idealist...you be your own judge.
A taste of what we uncovered:
- What's actually IN the "burger"? (Tune in to hear for yourself.)
- Are the plants used produced by the same government subsidized, industrial agricultural complex that we're trying to change? (I found out the answer is...wait for it, YES!)
- Does it contain any of the healthy fats or proteins that we get from grass-fed animals like CLA, omega-3's, and collagen? (No, but it is "cholesterol-free"...HAH, did we transport back in time to 1985?)
- Production of the impossible burger requires 1/20 of the land resources that a cow requires...what is being done with the other 19/20th of lands? ("Nothing, not our responsibility.")
- Is this meat alternative making a positive impact on the lives of food insecure people in impoverished nations? (No - it's being sold at 33 hipster burger joints in LA and Austin for $14/burger)
Chris and I do agree on few key points:
- We waste too much food. Globally, as much as 50% of edible food is wasted. See blog post for statistics and a great video from John Oliver on HBO's Last Week Tonight.
- The factory farming model for animals is seriously flawed, inefficient and harmful to the environment.
- We need to have this conversation about course-correcting and exploring alternatives sooner rather than later.
Mind Pump Media meets Optimal Performance Podcast.
Adam, Justin and Sal from Mind Pump sit down with me on the OPP (or am I on Mind Pump Media?) for an epic 2 hour conversation of "podcasting magic" that is being released simultaneously on both of our shows.
These guys are brilliant, funny, and ready to sling science at every topic that came up. This conversation ranges far and wide, including: podcasting, the pros and cons of technology, dopamine, movement, blue zones, meditation, suffer-fests, how, why, and when to use HIIT training...
A few of the specific topics we dive into during this conversation:
- Why 24 hour was the first billion dollar fitness club
- Impact of Social media, on psychology life and business
- The exact moment each of us learned to question everything
- Why technology has decentralized power
- How podcasting is a revolution equal to the printed word
- The problem with high intensity and low frequency training methods
- Bodybuilding, steroids and testosterone problems
- The rise of "Suffer Fests" - why society is seeking, even paying premiums for suffering and relaxation
And so much more. I realize this is the longest OPP we've put out yet - I don't plan to make shows of this length a regular occurrence, but for special "talk and record" moments moments like this, it has to be done. Break it up into several workouts or commutes - whatever you need to do, but enjoy this gem!
Ben Greenfield is back on the OPP to discuss his newest project, gratitude journaling.
Ben explain his own gratitude rituals - answering 3 simple questions first thing each morning while he measures his HRV in bed (don't worry, I get Ben to explain his HRV routine as well.)
We dive deep into the science of gratitude and reveal the 5 ways gratitude practices change our brain - including increased physical health, mental health, improved resiliency, better sleep, and enhanced activation of the brain regions that control serotonin and dopamine.
Since no conversation with Ben would be complete without his latest biohacks and experiments, we also cover:
- Oxytocin injections
- Live O2 for hyper and hypo-oxygenation to boost mitochondria function
- Red Light Therapy
- Telomere protection
- Ben's Top 3 tips to fight aging
- And much more...
At the risk being accused of hyperbole, this is one of the most powerful episodes of the OPP yet. The ever passionate Todd White (Dry Farm Wines) reveals his Profit and Peace Manifesto: how focusing on gratitude and abundance rather than financial results has helped Dry Farm Wines build the fastest growing club in the world - one that features 6 hour work days, daily team meditations and affirmations, and 100X growth last year. (We don't even mention wine until the 37 min mark.) I visited the Dry Farm Wines team in Napa Valley to participate in their daily pre-work ritual of meditation, affirmation and gratitude. What I experienced was beyond my expectations. The transformative power of their energy, light, and love revealed much about their success as individuals and as a team. Todd shares how we can build these habits into our lives along with the deeper impact of living in a world filled with love and support. As Todd reminds us, "Darkness cannot exist in the presence of light. Likewise, our doubts and fears cannot exist in a world of love, gratitude and abundance." We explore practical ways to implement these concepts, along with minimalism, creating rockstars, setting boundaries between work and personal life, and leaning into - or striving for - a particular goal is the last thing you want to do. Replace expectation with appreciation and you'll find peace. Tune in - and share this episode with your friends, family, and co-workers (I dare you!) to create this fail-proof family environment in your community.

Chris Dancy is the World's Most Connected Man, lecturing all over the world on how we can better utilize technology to monitor our health, hack time, and be more mindful cyborgs. I met Chris at the Biohacker Summit Sweden last month where he presented a keynote on time-traveling using our phones, calendars, and wearable devices. In this episode of the OPP, Chris explains how we "lack the ability to track what we value, so we end up valuing what we track." We explore time travel, time-hacking, and optimizing our tracking devices to enhance our lives. Chris has a new TV show coming soon where he "reads" phones like a psychic reads palms - called "phone palmistry". We have Chris analyze the phones of some of our listeners (with startling accuracy) and we have their reactions to prove it! Discover what your phone says about you and learn how to customize your phone to slow down time, optimize your health and relationships, and enhance your overall wellbeing.

The average person SITS 7.7 hours a day, with some people sitting up to 15 hours!
By comparison, the average person only gets 6.5 hours of sleep each night.
No wonder we're seeing a shift away from health in the average person. After all, 71% of the US is overweight.
These statistics tell us a LOT.
We sit too much. We sleep and move too little. And you already know we eat more than we ever have in the history of our species - most of that coming from low quality, processed foods.
But not you - right?! ;)
Back to this sitting thing...
The CDC has called sitting the new smoking.
Since most of us work from a seated position, commute to work sitting in cars, buses, trains, and planes, and then spend much of our down time sitting in front of TV's, hunched over phones...
This podcast is something you need to hear.
I'm joined by Aaron Alexander of Align Therapy to discuss how our posture impacts - no, it DICTATES - our physiology.
Tune in to find out how you can optimize your sitting time and overcome the muscular, skeletal, and emotional crippling that comes from sitting in submissive, depressive, "douchey" positions for 1/3 of your life (8/24 hours a day).
Hack your posture while sitting to optimize your physiology, feelings, mood, decisions and hormonal health.
