What if the mental health crisis isn’t simply a crisis of the mind—but a crisis of the environment we’ve created for the brain? In this fascinating conversation with Dr. Dave Rabin, one of my best podcasts ever, we explore why our nervous systems are being pushed beyond what they evolved to handle, how chronic overstimulation is fueling everything from burnout to dementia, why HRV is one of the most important biomarkers of longevity and the remarkable science and results of the ApolloNeuro.

Dr. David M. L. Rabin, MD, PhD, is a translational neuroscientist, psychiatrist, entrepreneur & inventor on a mission to cure mental illness. He has been studying the impact of chronic stress in humans for over 20 years, focusing on trauma, addiction, and human performance. Dr. Rabin is a Senior Research Scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, the Chief Medical Officer and co-founder at Apollo Neuroscience, the Executive Director of The Board of Medicine nonprofit medical board, and the Medical Director of The Apollo Clinic. Dr. Rabin is also the author of A Simple Guide to Being Alive (2026). At the Apollo Clinic, Dr. Rabin and his team collaborate with clients and patients, empowering them to take control of their mental and physical health by tapping into the natural ability for the body to adapt and heal itself.

We’ve been taught that stress is the enemy! And I have been trying for years to break that dogma. Because stress is actually one of your greatest performance tools. And there is one data point that encapsulates stress - HRV. In this episode, we explore why HRV may be one of the most powerful biomarkers for improving not only personal health and resilience, stopping the burnout epidemic and improving employee wellbeing, engagement, and performance in the modern workplace.

Matt Bennett is a keynote speaker, author, and trainer who brings trauma-informed care, neurobiology, behavior change, and resilience to life for professional audiences. Through compelling stories, practical frameworks, and research-based insight, he helps people see their work — and the people they serve — through a more hopeful, effective, and transformational lens.

Surgery doesn’t end when you leave the operating theatre. And in fact, it begins long before you step into the hospital. Dr Rob Whitfield is a surgeon intent on doing things differently for his patients aka doing things better. From informed consent, to holistic and personalized post-op care and removing toxic implants, he is setting a new standard. With AI, regenerative medicine, and direct-to-consumer biotechnology the future isn’t just better surgery but smarter preparation and recovery.

Dr. Robert Whitfield understands what you're going through. He has listened to thousands of patients describe the same experience: symptoms that don't add up, doctors who dismiss them, and a desperate search for someone who will take them seriously.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Whitfield has published the largest PCR-tested explant capsule series in the world, presented at major medical conferences, and built a patient education library with over 26 million views. He created the SHARP Method specifically because standard surgical care wasn't enough for his patients.

No professional athlete in 2026 goes into a game under-slept, under-nourished and overstimulated. So why are business execs and entrepreneurs still doing that every single day? It’s because they don’t recognize they are actually executive athletes. And just like sport athletes, business athletes need healthy bodies and minds to the same degree if they want to avoid being another burnout statistic.

Nicole Elizabeth Ward combines twenty-five years of sales leadership experience with her passion for wellness and performance optimization. Her unique background enables her to address the specific health challenges facing sales professionals with practical, evidence-based solutions. Through her book, podcast, and coaching, she helps sales professionals transform into Sales Athletes who can sustain peak performance without sacrificing their health.

We are entering an extraordinary era in medicine where light itself is emerging as a therapeutic tool. Technologies such as transcranial photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy are showing encouraging promise across a wide spectrum of conditions—from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s to ADHD and even certain forms of cancer. And at the heart of this is pioneer physician Dr Hans Weber and his Weber Medical clinic.

Hans Michael Weber, MD, began his career as a general practitioner, running his own medical practice while becoming increasingly aware of the limitations of conventional medicine. This realization sparked his interest in low-level laser therapy, a field in which he quickly recognized enormous therapeutic potential and began integrating into his everyday clinical work. After years of research and development, he introduced the world’s first device for invasive laser application in 2005—the Weberneedle® Endolaser. Today, Dr. Weber is the founder of Weber Medical, whose medical laser systems are used in more than 2,000 clinics across over 40 countries worldwide.

Robert Weber, M.Sc., has dedicated more than a decade to advancing innovative treatment strategies inspired by the scientific and clinical work of his father, Dr. Hans Michael Weber. His work has focused particularly on viral, bacterial, and parasitic infectious diseases, as well as neurodegenerative conditions, with a special interest in laser-based therapeutic approaches including low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Throughout his career, he has initiated and supported multiple research projects aimed at expanding the evidence base and applications of these technologies in the form of the EndoLight® and the Infrared Helmet.

What if 90–95% of cancers weren’t written in your genes—but in your environment, lifestyle, and daily choices? My guest today Dr B challenges some of the biggest assumptions in modern medicine, drawing on decades of experience examining cancer cells under the microscope. From the hidden drivers of chronic disease to the controversial role of hormone replacement therapy and the critical importance of gut health, this episode explores what happens when we stop asking what disease a person has and start asking why they developed it in the first place.

With an unprecedented five board certifications, Dr. Monisha Bhanote brings a comprehensive, systems-based approach to health that few practitioners can match.

As the founder of WELLKULÅ and CEO of Travela Wellness, Dr. Bhanote has created comprehensive platforms that make transformative health accessible to individuals and organizations worldwide.

Somewhere, someone in the world is pushing the frontiers of medicine. And today that someone is Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, the pioneer of plasmalogen medicine. His stories of clinical success deploying his very own patented plasmalogen molecules are incredible. Curing blindness. Reversing dementia. Growing brains. And his idea is simple. We are all equipped with the right biological software but often lack the biochemical raw material to thrive. Dr D and plasmalogens are changing that.

Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, PhD, is a neuroscientist, biochemist, inventor, and clinical research expert. In 1999, he invented and patented ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry technology, enabling comprehensive monitoring of human biochemistry for the first time. Using this technology, Dr. Goodenowe analyzed blood samples from tens of thousands of individuals of all ages and races, from multiple countries. Over 20 conditions were studied, including autism, dementia, colon cancer, heart disease, and others. Differences between the biochemistry of younger and older populations, as well as associations with all-cause mortality, were also examined. This body of research identified early biochemical patterns associated with disease and mortality risk, thereby contributing to the development of an extensive patent portfolio. These patents cover diagnostic tests for early detection and screening across numerous conditions, including specific cancers, neurological disorders, psychiatric conditions, and cardiovascular disease.

Our brain is a bioelectric organ. And the frequency of our thoughts and the extent of our stimulation is as serious as life and death. Living too often in 90 hz, that’s a life of addiction. But by using neurohacks and the data from brain EEG we can all learn to chase 10 hz and live a life of flow and peak performance. And nobody has done more to champion, and importantly simplify, this paradigm than my guest today Dr Izzy.

Dr. Izzy Justice is a Sports Neuroscientist who has authored 8 books over the course of 30 years on the topic of Emotional Intelligence. He was the first to integrate EQ into sports and athletic performance. He has trained and certified over 300 coaches in EQ in a wide array of sports disciplines worldwide. He has worked with athletes, coaches, and teams in NASCAR, Tennis, Soccer, Golf, Lacrosse, Basketball, Triathlon, NFL, MLB, Olympians, and many collegiate level programs. Dr. Justice’s primary work is working in Corporate America with leaders of companies integrating EQ into the workplace.

I continue to believe peptides offer hope in medicine like few things ever have. Because of the mechanism of action and lack of toxicity, these compounds have the ability to restore the body’s proper natural functioning rather than suppress symptoms. But few physicians are willing to traverse in the peptide waters due to regulatory challenges, political interests and pharmaceutical interference. But I have seen their potential myself, as has my guest Dr Aleksandra Gajer.

Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, originally from Poland and raised in the United States, is a dedicated medical professional focused on advancing healthcare. She graduated with top honors from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and completed her residency in academic emergency medicine at The George Washington University.

Dr. Gajer’s special interests include sustainable weight loss, balanced hormone health, and longevity. She emphasizes the importance of lifestyle adjustments to optimize patients’ biology, promoting health, vitality, and long-term wellness.

Walking into a cardiologist appointment is more often than not walking into a time machine. Not only the discussions about disproven risks but unfortunately the outdated tools and technology that have little to no predictive or preventative potential. The worst part is the technology exists that can identify to the microscopic level the type of plague actually causal to more than 80% of heart-attacks! That’s what Dr Osborne and ClearCardio are doing right now.

Dr. John Osborne is a cardiologist and the founding director of State of the Heart Cardiology, with a strong focus on preventive and non-invasive cardiovascular care. He holds an M.D. magna cum laude, a Ph.D. in cardiovascular physiology, and completed postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Uniquely board-certified across multiple disciplines, his work spans metabolic health, cardiovascular genetics, and advanced cardiac imaging. Dr. Osborne has received the American Heart Association’s Cardiac Care Provider of the Year award. He is also the founder of ClearCardio™, where he is advancing proactive heart health through the use of AI-driven diagnostics and personalized care.

Dr. Stephanie Rimka paints a bleak picture of why babies born into the modern, urban world are swimming against the current from day one. 350 chemicals in their bodies. Protein bars and pesticides. Microplastics. Digital dementia. All of this leading to dysregulated nervous systems and anxiety soaked brains. We have to do something. And that’s what Dr Rimka is doing - spread the message, educate the masses and do something to save our kids and the generations to come.

As founder and CEO of Brain and Body Solutions, Dr. Stephanie Rimka, BA, DC, BCN is a nationally board-certified Doctor of Chiropractic and Board-Certified Neurofeedback Therapist with over two decades of experience helping individuals optimize brain function, metabolic health, and overall performance.

Are we progressing in health and wellness? Or is so much of what we are looking for in the simplicity of the past and the design of nature? We live in a complex and messy and yes toxic world, so what do we do about it? Today I talk to Dr Tom Cowan again, a man who himself says he can’t believe the things he is saying now after spending the last decades dissecting scientific and medical claims taken as dogma.

Dr Tom Cowan is a well-known alternative medicine doctor, author, and speaker, with a common-sense, holistic approach to health and wellness. He has given countless lectures and workshops throughout the U.S. on a variety of subjects in health and medicine and is the author of six books. Recent publications include “The Contagion Myth,” co-authored by Sally Fallon Morell, “Cancer and the New Biology of Water” and “Human Heart, Cosmic Heart.”

Are you living fake freedom? One of my biggest realizations with productivity expert Dr Ann Tsung was that - many of us are stuck in stage 3 of the time freedom cycle and treading water in fake time freedom. The question then is - how do we escape it and start living a life of more freedom and more flow and what are the habits, the values, the mindset and the tools we can employ to become time transcenders.

Ann Tsung MD is a NASA Flight Surgeon, Critical Care/Emergency Medicine physician, peak performance/productivity coach at Productivity MD, real estate investor, podcast show host of Productivity MD, and a mother of a 19-month-old. With a unique fusion of medical precision and entrepreneurial success, she guides top physician entrepreneurs to unlock over 10 hours a week, master their mindset, scale their businesses, and achieve unparalleled freedom and leadership excellence.

Parkinson’s is not a function of aging, it is not a genetic disease and it is a human caused disease that is entirely preventable. That’s what the research is showing and what Parkinson’s expert and advocate Dr Ray Dorsey is on a mission to communicate to the world. Parkinson’s disease is the downstream effect of the indiscriminate, criminal and unnecessary use of neurotoxic chemicals we are spraying on our food, spraying on our sport fields, using in our dry-cleaning and breathing in the air.

Dr. Ray Dorsey is a neurologist, researcher, and internationally recognized leader in Parkinson’s disease care, prevention, and health-care innovation. He holds a BS from Stanford University and a joint MD/MBA from the University of Pennsylvania (Perelman School of Medicine and Wharton). Currently, Dr. Dorsey is a practicing neurologist at Atria and Director of Atria’s Center for the Brain & the Environment, a nonprofit research initiative focused on identifying and preventing environmental causes of neurodegenerative disease, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. He has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications, raised over $60 million in research funding, and was honored at the White House as a Champion of Change. A leading voice for prevention-focused medicine, he is the author of Ending Parkinson’s Disease and the forthcoming The Parkinson’s Plan, and remains committed to reimagining how brain health is protected across the lifespan.

Why settle for normal when we the target should be peak human health optimization, what I call superhuman? With the billions being put into the biotech industry, wearables, more access to all sorts of techniques, and now the unimaginable power of AI, it truly does seem the limits of health at the moment are boundless. That’s the world my guest Dr Sanjeev Goel inhabits, and today we discuss our clinical experience and what we see working for human health and mental performance.

Dr. Sanjeev Goel is a Canadian physician, speaker, and longevity expert widely known as “The Happiness and Longevity MD.”, his career spans over five decades and includes remote medical service in Himalayan communities as well as teaching mindfulness and resilience to healthcare professionals.

A serious Lyme-like illness in 2019 deepened his commitment to restorative health and self-directed healing, shaping his approach today. Dr. Goel emphasizes that happiness and longevity are not opposing goals, but outcomes of a life lived in biological and personal alignment.

This episode isn’t for the faint at heart. Because Dawnmarie’s story and the stories she shares are heartbreaking. The data and her clinical experience indicates that one in four girls are abused in the household before 18 years old, and most of that abuse happens before age 6. And while having a step-parent is the number one risk , unfortunately they are often not the only person at blame. DawnMarie is a survivor in the truest sense, having taken her past of horrible abuse and turning the pain into true purpose and mission. But it was messy, took courage and ultimately took faith. Dawnmarie’s story is one of hope, and that there is always hope.

Dr. DawnMarie Risley-Childs is a professional speaker who empowers audiences to create positive change. She inspires audiences to break free from negativity and to create a brighter future. She delivers impactful talks, workshops, and podcast appearances on healing from toxic relationships, building positive work cultures, and championing the safety and well-being of children.

This episode is a masterclass in both men and women’s hormonal health. These hormones in effect are the clocks of aging, so much so that biotech labs can now take a few data points, consult with AI and provide you with an almost exact time until major hormonal events like menopause. Which is crucially important because to optimize health and longevity the right type of hormonal support and treatment should be started years before that. This episode is for anyone wanting to understand how hormones are the backbone of overall health, aging slower, maintaining sexual function and looking younger for longer.

Dr. Amy Killen, MD received her Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical science from Texas A&M University and then her MD from UT Southwestern Medical School. She completed an Emergency Medicine residency at the University of Arizona. She worked for many years in Austin, Texas as a board-certified emergency physician before moving to Portland and becoming the medical director of an anti-aging specialty clinic. Now in Utah, Dr. Killen embraces bio-identical hormone therapy and personalized medicine and offers aesthetics services, including Botox, Fillers, and Microneedling.

Closing in on 300 episodes of The Made To Thrive Show, it’s been an enriching and empowering journey for me speaking to global experts and health heroes about their fields of expertise. So in honor of the 300 mark, I have put together a masterclass composed of the best insights for each of Made To Thrive’s 7 Pillars To Thriving: purpose, community, sleep, nutrition, movement, self-quantification, and environment.

Thriving - Pillar by Pillar distills the best of those conversations into one powerful series. Each episode is curated to help you not just understand a specific pillar — but how to take action to live it.

This is Medicine 4.0 in action: preventative, proactive, personalized through data, and performance-enhancing. We believe sustainable health begins with awareness, and education is the foundation that transforms how we become aware of ourselves and the actions and habits that create our life. Only when we understand, can we identify both what’s holding us back as well as the thriving that's possible.

At the root of the word doctor is Latin for teacher. Through the Pillar by Pillar series, I hope each episode becomes a lesson about how to see health and wellness differently, and to empower you to take action, one intentional, educated step at a time.

Environment

The spaces we inhabit—from home to workplace—affect our health more than most people realize. Clean air, natural light, and reduced toxic exposures directly influence sleep, stress, and hormonal balance. Optimizing your environment creates a foundation that supports all other pillars, turning your surroundings into allies for thriving.

Closing in on 300 episodes of The Made To Thrive Show, it’s been an enriching and empowering journey for me speaking to global experts and health heroes about their fields of expertise. So in honor of the 300 mark, I have put together a masterclass composed of the best insights for each of Made To Thrive’s 7 Pillars To Thriving: purpose, community, sleep, nutrition, movement, self-quantification, and environment.

Thriving - Pillar by Pillar distills the best of those conversations into one powerful series. Each episode is curated to help you not just understand a specific pillar — but how to take action to live it.

This is Medicine 4.0 in action: preventative, proactive, personalized through data, and performance-enhancing. We believe sustainable health begins with awareness, and education is the foundation that transforms how we become aware of ourselves and the actions and habits that create our life. Only when we understand, can we identify both what’s holding us back as well as the thriving that's possible.

At the root of the word doctor is Latin for teacher. Through the Pillar by Pillar series, I hope each episode becomes a lesson about how to see health and wellness differently, and to empower you to take action, one intentional, educated step at a time.

Self-Quantification

Tracking your body and health metrics transforms abstract goals into actionable insights. Data from heart rate, HRV, fasting insulin, or sleep patterns helps you see what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus your energy. Awareness through measurement empowers better decision-making, moving from reactive to proactive health management.

Strength, endurance, and mobility exercises all contribute to a body capable of thriving in the modern world. Movement is medicine, improving mental clarity, sleep quality, and cellular health across the board.

Nutrition

What you put on your plate literally fuels every cell in your body, impacting energy, focus, and disease risk. Eating nutrient-dense whole foods supports stable blood sugar, optimal hormone balance, and long-term metabolic health. Nutrition is not a restriction; it’s empowerment, giving your body the raw material to thrive

Sleep

Sleep is the bedrock of recovery, brain health, and hormonal balance. Quality sleep—particularly deep and REM cycles—enhances cognitive function, emotional regulation, and metabolic health. Without proper sleep, even the best habits in nutrition or movement are seriously negated, making it a pillar you cannot skip.

Community

Humans are wired for connection, and the quality of your relationships has a profound impact on health and happiness. Being part of a supportive community lowers stress, improves immune function, and boosts overall life satisfaction. Community is the real secret to the Blue Zones! Investing in meaningful connections is not optional—it’s a biological necessity for thriving.

Pillar 1: Purpose

Having a clear purpose is the compass that guides every decision in your life, including your health decisions and the value in energy, time and money you dedicate to it. When you define your “why,” you create alignment between your actions and your long-term goals, reducing energy wasted on distractions. Purpose-driven living is not just motivational—it’s scientifically linked to better mental health, resilience, and longevity

We have to be more careful with our language and ask more clearly - are we aiming for weight loss or fat loss? As they say, it starts at home, so I am going to be using fat loss more often. Because that is actually the main objective, to lose fat, especially toxic, inflammatory visceral fat. But how do we do it? Is it lifestyle medicine or the new GLP-1 agonists or a combination? To explore that and more, I talk to metabolic health expert Dr Saremi.

Dr. Adonis Saremi, MD is a triple board-certified expert in Obesity Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Clinical Informatics, with a Master’s in Applied Physiology and medical licensure in California. He completed his residency at UC San Diego and has served as an Assistant Clinical Professor at UC Irvine, as well as a consultant for the Medical Board of California. Combining deep clinical expertise with digital innovation, Dr. Saremi specializes in personalized metabolic care and weight management. He serves on the Clinician Council of the American Telemedicine Association and offers concierge-level telemedicine and in-home consultations in San Diego, including tailored strategies for healthy aging and prescription weight loss support.

The significant risk of visceral fat, VO2 max, steps, sarcopenia and excess cardio on bone health.
Defining your why, using data to motivate you, SMART goals and the main obstacles preventing people from hitting their fat loss goals as well as the best supplements to fire up fat loss metabolism.

Dr Mary Mina is the first dermatologist I have had on the show. Why? Because I am recently seeing more and more skin disease. What I value about Dr Mina is her simplified, no frill approach yet holistic approach to skin health. Because as she says - skin health is the same as full body health.

Dr. Mary Alice Mina is a board-certified dermatologist on a mission to cut through the noise and help women feel amazing in their skin again. After decades in clinic, she took her expertise online to offer trusted, no-fluff education and skin strategies that actually work. No filters. No fear tactics. Just science, simplicity, and a little fun! Whether you’re dealing with breakouts, battling “crepey neck” syndrome, or just trying to figure out what the heck you actually need—you’re in the right place. Dr. Mina created The Skin Real for women like you: smart, curious, and done wasting time (and money) on skincare that overpromises and underdelivers.

How often do you see your best friend? Once a week? Once a month? And what would it take to see them every single day? What would that mean to your life and do to your health? The strength of the pack is in its togetherness, yet we are living in a grind culture of lone wolves.

It’s people like Alex who are pushing and will continue to push the future of medicine and healthcare. Because of his curious and exploratory mind, Alex refused to accept his diagnosis as chronically sick and thought differently about possible solutions. Many years later, he is the foremost pioneer of the use and delivery of hydrogen to optimize human health, from catalyzing metabolic health to working synergistically to enhance already established treatments.

Alex Tarnava is a self-taught scientist, inventor, and author whose work sits at the intersection of biomedical innovation, sovereign health, and philosophical disruption. He is the inventor of the world’s only open-cup molecular hydrogen tablet—a patented delivery system that has become the most studied and widely adopted form of hydrogen therapy globally. The technology has been used in more than 21 published clinical trials and has helped catalyze a new wave of research into the therapeutic potential of molecular hydrogen.

Are you reading the ingredients in your skin creams, shampoos and soaps? If you are not, you need to start because the toxic compounds in everyday personal products are disrupting your hormonal health and creating the conditions for diseases like cancer. But it’s not only the products, it’s our mindset and beliefs - our spiritual health. That’s why Dr Cates approaches skin health and hormonal harmony from both the inside-out and the outside-in.

Dr. Trevor Cates is a licensed naturopathic physician with over 24 years of experience specializing in women’s health. After overcoming her own childhood health struggles, she pursued an integrative approach to medicine and became the first woman licensed as a naturopathic doctor in California, later relocating her practice to Utah. While serving patients at the Waldorf Astoria Spa in Park City, she recognized that healing extends beyond the physical body, inspiring her to earn a master’s degree in spiritual psychology. This combination of training enables her to guide women in balancing hormones, restoring health, and reconnecting with their true nature. To reach women beyond the one-on-one clinical setting, Dr. Cates created the Hormones, Health & Harmony 9-part documentary series, the PBS special Younger Skin From Within, and The Woman’s Doctor Podcast. She is also the author of two bestselling books, Clean Skin From Within and Natural Beauty Reset.

What is addiction? There’s no easy answer there, and the science and understanding of addiction is continually changing. My guest today Robb Kelly has treated thousands of addicts and he believes addiction is not about the addiction. It’s not about alcohol or heroin or sex or pornography. That’s 1%. Robb believes the other 99% is about mind, trauma and beliefs. And he believes absolutely anyone and everyone has the ability to overcome addiction permanently and live to their fullest potential.

Robb Kelly, PhD is a world-renowned addiction expert who treats the problem, not just the symptoms. For over 20 years, he has helped addicts and alcoholics reclaim their lives from the disease of addiction. With a PhD in psychology, decades of experience, and his own recovery as an alcoholic, Dr. Kelly is a “triple threat” against addiction. His philosophy, though unconventional, is grounded in extensive research and behavioral studies. Known as “The Gordon Ramsay of the Addiction World,” he takes a direct, no-nonsense approach, pulling the disease out of his clients and empowering them to fight back. He has worked with thousands, including celebrities, and lectured at leading universities and hospitals. Recognized worldwide as an authority on recovery, Dr. Kelly has witnessed the miracle of recovery in over 5,000 addicts once considered hopeless. Living as a recovered alcoholic, he has made it his life’s mission to help others achieve permanent recovery. His personal slogan, “Step out of the disease, and into the Solution”.

One course of antibiotics has the power to wipe out certain strains from your microbiome forever. Like everything in health, it’s all about dose and right use, but when it comes to antibiotics we are reaching for it too causally without grappling with the real-world consequences. Unfortunately, Martha Carlin was unable to ignore them when it impacted her family in the most fundamental of ways. She has since become a master of gut health, and is serving the public and fight against chronic disease with offerings of the highest quality gut medicine possible.

Martha Carlin is a systems thinker, entrepreneur, and founder of The BioCollective, whose journey began when her husband John was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at age 44. Refusing to accept a future of inevitable decline, she applied her expertise in corporate turnarounds to uncover new approaches to managing and potentially altering the course of chronic disease. Her research led her to recognize the central role of the gut, which she describes as the “general ledger” of health. In 2014, emerging science confirmed her insights, sparking her to leave her career and begin funding microbiome research at the University of Chicago with Dr. Jack Gilbert.

Reversing type II diabetes at a 98% success rate using artificial intelligence. The future of medicine is already here, and it’s changing real peoples lives right now. Listeners of my show know I believe personalized data and AI interpretation of this data is how we can beat chronic disease, which is why talking to my guest today - who is using this health algorithm right now - was a pleasure and genuine moment of hope.

Dr. John Oberg is a Founder, CEO, Board Director, Advisor, Professor, and Investor trusted by organizations to navigate growth, conflict, and change. He founded two Austin-based healthcare innovators: Sedera, a community-based medical cost-sharing organization (#193 on Inc 500, #26 in Financial Times Western Hemisphere), and Precina Health, a first-of-its-kind chronic care virtual medical practice and a thought leader in AI deployment. Through John Oberg Advisory, John advises large institutions, healthcare industry leaders, professional services firms, and nonprofits. John received his doctorate from the University of Southern California (Social Work) and his MBA from the University of New Mexico (Policy & Planning and Management of Technology). He is currently an adjunct professor at USC and sits on the Board of Governors. He has authored patents, started companies, and managed teams larger than 1,000 people.

Join us as we explore:

John Oberg’s radical success rate of reversing type II diabetes with the Precina way at a fraction of the cost of traditional healthcare.
Why the Precina way takes small steps and makes them even smaller, and uses AI to personalize the steps necessary to reverse their diabetes based upon their needs, emotional barriers and tolerance for change.
Why Dr Oberg’s approach is not getting into the weeds of diet wars, anecdotal evidence or peer reviewed or not, and focuses on data driven and clinical experience results.
How AI will allow individuals to succeed in the long-term with their health despite sub-optimal societal norms and government policies.
How John’s training as a social worker informs carefulness in his approach and the importance of how cultural and societal factors interact with chronic disease.

Your eyes are not cameras—they are clocks. Every cell and organ in your body is orchestrated by the light you let in, making light the most powerful regulator of health. More than ever, I believe the “light diet” is a foundational lifestyle change in the fight against chronic disease. That’s why today’s guest is one of the most important I’ve had—a true pioneer in the science of light and health.

Dr. Martin Moore-Ede is a world-renowned circadian biology expert with over four decades of research on how light affects sleep, fatigue, and chronic diseases. As a former Harvard Medical School professor, he helped discover the brain’s master clock—the suprachiasmatic nucleus—and authored the bestselling The Clocks That Time Us. In 1983, he founded CIRCADIAN®, a global firm optimizing 24/7 workforce performance, and later launched CIRCADIAN Light and CIRCADIAN ZircLight to counter the health risks of artificial lighting.

In this episode, we explore:

How proper light exposure can increase lifespan by up to five years—and how being “dumb with light” is now correlated with everything from cancer and diabetes to autoimmune and psychiatric disorders.
When to wake up, how much outdoor light we need daily, the massive difference in lux between indoor and outdoor light, and the critical role of the brain’s internal clock.
Why early sunlight matters, and how flawed studies distorted our understanding of sunlight and cataracts.
The rise in breast cancer since widespread electrification—now 70x more common.
How hospital window placement can influence recovery from depression and anxiety by up to 50%.
Why Dr. Moore-Ede gets outside every day—rain, sun, or snow—without sunglasses or eyewear.

Whether you're new to circadian science or already light-aware, this episode will shift how you think about health.

Toxicity is something I’ve been focusing on more than ever—because it’s everywhere. From the water we drink to the air we breathe, the buildings we live and work in, even the everyday products we use—environmental toxins are silently impacting our health at the deepest levels.

That’s why I’m excited to bring you this powerful conversation with Dr. Kelly McCann—an integrative physician and true pioneer in environmental medicine. Dr. McCann has called environmental toxins the “tsunami” behind today’s chronic disease epidemic, and in this episode, she breaks down exactly why.

Whether you've been told you're "too sensitive" to chemicals or you've been struggling with chronic symptoms that no one can seem to explain, this episode is a must-listen.

Dr. McCann has helped thousands of patients navigate complex medical issues—chronic illness, autoimmune disease, gut dysfunction, hormone imbalances, and more—through compassionate, root-cause-focused care. Her approach blends deep clinical expertise with a calm, healing presence that’s helped so many on their path to wellness.

In this episode, we explore:

Environmental toxicity at the core of the chronic disease crisis & why environmental medicine is the most overlooked component in the functional health arena.
The difference between persistent vs non-persistent toxins—and why total load matters
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), multiple chemical sensitivity & hidden triggers
How to effectively detox your home and your body
The truth about sweating: passive vs active detox, sauna protocols, and what actually works
Dr. McCann’s clinical insights on binders and supporting sensitive patients
The crucial connection between antioxidant enzymes and longevity
How environmental toxins interact with gene variants—leading to thicker blood, strokes, and heart attacks

Not fish food but brain food and gut food. That’s how you should understand algae. I was blown away by the research on algae and its most powerful component superoxide dismutase. From MS to Alzheimer’s and PTSD, the super nutrient profile of spiralina and chlorella is an energy and mental performance game-changer that costs less than $1 a day. Join me and Catharine Arnston in this empowering algae educational masterclass.

Catharine Arnston founded ENERGYbits® after discovering the extraordinary health benefits of algae while researching ways to support her sister’s recovery from breast cancer. She learned that algae is the most nutrient-dense, plant-based, and alkaline food on the planet—packed with 64% protein, 40 vitamins and minerals, and backed by over 100,000 scientific studies, as well as endorsements from NASA and the United Nations. Despite its long history of use in Asia, algae remained virtually unknown in the West, which inspired Catharine to spend a decade building ENERGYbits® into a trusted, national brand. Today, her company offers pure, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets that support energy, satiety, and nutrition in a sustainable, eco-friendly form.

Join us as we explore:

Everything algae - it’s unique evolutionary history, why Cathrine calls it “spirit-lina”, its nutritional and disease fighting profile and why it’s an energy and cognitive performance game-changer for anyone older than 40.
How algae works as an ATP catalyst, boosts the most powerful antioxidant superoxide dismutase and keeps you younger for longer.
What sets ENERGYbits apart from other algae products, why to choose the blue one (chlorella) or the green one (spirulina) and why professional athletes are using up to 75 tablets pre-game for maximum energy and focus.
Incredible algae studies - MS tremors disappear, 50% HRV increase, mitochondria maximization and miraculous brain healing.

It’s time to put a ring on it. And I mean an erectile fitness ring. I had never even considered the importance of my erection data until having this fascinating conversation with Dr Elliot Justin. Because it’s about much more than sexual health and performance. Erection data and rings is about your cardiovascular health, and how likely you are to have a heart attack within the next two years. Dr Justin predicts erection data will become the standard of care for cardiovascular health in just a matter of years.

What does it mean to be free? It’s a question that’s puzzled philosophers for millennia. But what does it mean to be metabolically free? If you’ve ever felt hangry, crashed after a meal, or dealt with type 2 diabetes, you’ve experienced the opposite — metabolic imprisonment.

My guest today, Ben Azadi, knows this firsthand. In 2008, Ben was obese and unhealthy, struggling to find answers. After shedding 80 pounds and turning his health around, he dedicated his life to helping others do the same. Today, he’s a functional health expert, bestselling author, and the founder of Keto Kamp, a global brand empowering people to use ancient healing tools like fasting and the ketogenic lifestyle.

His new book, Metabolic Freedom: A 30-Day Guide to Restore Your Metabolism, Heal Hormones & Burn Fat, lays out the blueprint to reclaim your health.

In this episode, we dive into:

What metabolism really is — and why “slow” or “fast” metabolism may be a myth
A groundbreaking study that disproves the idea that metabolism slows with age
Why fasting insulin is a better marker of health than weight or glucose alone
The surprising power of “Vitamin G” — gratitude — on your metabolic function
Ben’s top daily habits and biohacks to supercharge your metabolism

Ben’s approach is all about education over medication — empowering you to take control, rather than outsourcing your health.

Ben has also made a personal impact on a member of my family.

What an incredible episode with an incredible health hero Dr Sean O’Mara. Dr O’Mara gives a no nonsense, no prisoners-taken masterclass on visceral fat and adipose tissue, and how it’s killing you and turning on the “ugly button”. What sets this episode apart is not only Dr O’Mara’s knowledge, but his use of incredible visual images to tell the story of visceral fat and how it is creating disease and death. This is one of the most important episodes I’ve ever done.

Dr. Sean O'Mara works with business executives, professional performers and athletes motivated to optimize through innovative techniques of performance enhancement. He was a founder of an innovative medical startup in Minneapolis, MN called Lantu, focusing on health and performance optimization. In 2016, Lantu was awarded a National Science Foundation research grant to reverse chronic disease. Dr. O'Mara and his team used cutting-edge data analytics to glean insights to both identify and leverage innovative biometrics/biomarkers of health, the human genome as well as the microbiome. He has over a decade of experience evaluating and, more importantly, reversing chronic disease. He innovatively provides his clients with practical solutions to optimize their overall appearance, performance, health, and quality of life. No risky pharmaceuticals, hormones, or surgical interventions are needed for better optimizing results.

Join us as we explore:

Visceral fat, adipose tissue, is any amount healthy, where it comes from , how to get rid of it and how it’s the #1 risk most directly causal to cardiovascular disease.
Why your face is a picture of your health, especially as you age and how visceral fat and adipose tissues affects everything from hormones to cancer and even your beauty.
The number one (by far) most important thing everyone needs to do to get rid of visceral fat, including visual proof of how it can radically change your body composition in less than 6 months!
Why the “MRI ends the lie” and is the best tool available to literally see where your visceral fat is hiding and creating 24/7 inflammatory disease.
Terrifying photos of young children’s visceral fat, and the massive changes to their health and face when the fat is vanquished.

It’s painful seeing so much sickness and ill-health. And one of the big reasons for so much sickness is the pain so many people’s guts are in. IBS, Chron’s disease and ulcerative colitis are becoming more common for more people, and tragically as young as 6 months old. This episode is a true gut health masterclass , with someone who really knows his gut stuff and is having real clinical success with real people, Josh Dech.

Josh Dech is a Holistic Nutritionist and IBD specialist who believes that doctors often miss the mark by simply prescribing medication that masks symptoms. He advocates for functional medicine, focusing on addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just treating the symptoms. With his Gut 911 approach, Josh aims to heal the gut, rebuild the microbiome, and restore freedom to his clients’ lives by addressing the underlying causes of digestive diseases like Crohn’s and Colitis. His success in reversing these conditions led him to partner with medical clinics across the country, and he now shares his expertise as a medical lecturer for the Priority Health Academy, teaching doctors to implement his approach. Josh’s extensive background includes being a Physician’s Consultant for IBD and IBS, a former paramedic, and the Scientific Strategist and Education Director for the Root Cause For Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation.

Join us as we explore:

What is at the root of the continuous rise of gut imbalance conditions like Chron’s and colitis, and why the North American population has over 50% of the GLOBAL cases of serious gut disease.
How it’s possible to cure - YES CURE - the most serious of gut imbalance in just 16 weeks by following Josh’s Gut 911 approach.
The three reasons you get gut disease, the three ways to treat, reverse and cure them and the specific detox protocols and tools Josh finds success with.
How detoxing as principle is woefully misunderstood, leading to worse symptoms and outcomes.
The difference between IBD and IBS, and why Josh doesn’t believe a specific diagnosis between IBD, IBS, Chron’s or colitis is critical to treating, reversing and curing it.
Why your gut health is about a lot more than what you eat.

Guests don’t get as accomplished and credentials as Dr Robert Lufkin, a physician and medical school professor of the highest calibre with over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers. And then he wrote a book about the lies he HIMSELF was teaching in medical school. I believe this is one of the most important books I have ever read, and that Dr Lufkin himself is one of the greatest health heroes speaking truth despite the personal consequences. That’s why it was a true privilege to have him on the show and unpack the lies he was telling at medical school. Robert Lufkin, MD is a physician and medical school professor at both UCLA and USC. New York Times bestselling author dedicated to helping people reclaim their metabolic health through lifestyle and other evidence-based tools. A frequent guest on the Today Show, USA Today, FOX, and other major news outlets, his weekly video podcast reaches over 500,000 viewers. After reversing his own chronic disease, Dr. Lufkin has made it his mission to empower others to do the same. His latest book, Lies I Taught in Medical School, quickly became a New York Times bestseller and has reshaped the public conversation around metabolic health and longevity. In addition to his clinical work, he has authored over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers and 14 books, published in fourteen languages.

Join us as we explore:

Why western or allopathic medicine is losing the battle against obesity, diabetes, strokes, heart attacks, cancer, Alzheimer’s and mental illness
Why being diagnosed with four of the main chronic diseases and then reversing them with a few simple lifestyle changes left Dr Lufkin understanding he was “trusting the science that couldn’t be trusted” and that he was teaching lies as a medical school professor.
Which lie Dr Lufkin believes is the most egregious and harmful still being told by the official medical institutions.
Why going to your doctor is not the person who is going to make you healthy, but AI could be.
The debate around lipid health and markers like apolipoB.
Why despite writing a book about the abundance of untruths in medicine Dr Lufkin is more optimistic about the future than he’s ever been.

Light is life. While everyone is obsessed with diet and exercise, they do not understand that we humans are fundamentally light beings and without the right light inputs, at the right times and exposed to the right places, genuine optimal human health cannot be achieved. That’s why the pioneering laser light work being done with Dr Brandon Crawford is truly incredible. Whether treating his own Hashimoto’s or healing the brains of children with autism or ADHD, I believe Dr Crawford’s lasers have the potential to make a huge impact on the world.

Dr Brandon Crawford is a functional neurologist with specialization in childhood neurodevelopment and photobiomodulation. He is the owner and lead physician at NeuroSolution Center in Austin, Texas, and the co-founder and managing partner at branches in Atlanta, Georgia and soon Dubai as well as their comprehensive product range. Dr. Crawford is known for his work and advancements in laser and light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, specifically within functional neurology.

Join us as we explore:

Why Dr Crawford took it upon himself to develop his own one-of-its-kind therapy laser, the “laser focus” setting, and why this laser actually matters for your life.
The risk profile of lasers and biophotomodulation.
How Dr Crawford is using his lasers to bump HRV by 10 points.
Blood illumination, and its impact on mental health and mental performance.
Using lasers to improve organ health, how the different colors create different treatment outcomes but why no laser will ever beat the miracle of sunlight.

So, your cholesterol is high? The big question my guest today is asking is - does it even matter? Why this does matter so much is because Dave Feldman and his network of researchers are asking a fundamentally new question about cholesterol and lipids, and whether they are in fact energy adaptogens, responsible for trafficking energy under the right conditions around the body and not predictable of cardiovascular disease. Because if Oreos can lower your “bad” cholesterol as much as a statin, medicine may not actually understand “bad” cholesterol or even cholesterol overall.

Dave Feldman, a senior software engineer and entrepreneur. Drawing on his engineering background, he recognized parallels between the lipid system and distributed objects in networks, prompting him to delve deeply into the subject through extensive research and personal experimentation.

He is also the creator and producer of his new film The Cholesterol Code, coming up in the fall of 2025: https://cholesterolcodemovie.com

Despite being the most studied supplement of all time, creatine is making a big resurgence. It’s been the hot topic in the health podcast space for the past year, as new scientific evidence is showing creatine is about more than looking big, but has big and important effects on brain health and overall longevity. But, like all things, creatine needs to be handled with care. It needs to be the right type, at the right dose, at the right times, with the right movement and for the right person. That’s why it was important for me to get a true creatine expert on the show, Dr Darren Candow.

Dr. Darren Candow is a professor specializing in exercise physiology, nutrition, and aging. He supervises the Aging Muscle and Bone Health Laboratory, where the primary research focus is to develop effective lifestyle interventions involving nutrition—primarily creatine monohydrate—and physical activity, particularly resistance training. These interventions aim to improve muscle, bone, and brain health and function, with both practical and clinical relevance.

PUFAS, MUFAS and LUFAS. No, they’re not a new type of cereal or sponge for the shower, these are the types of dietary fats that will either make or break your metabolism. And the key here is where are you getting them from aka what are you eating. Which is Ashley Armstrong's expertise. Not only from a scientific point of view, but because she became a regenerative farmer in order to ensure creating the right fatty acid composition for her animals and the humans that will eventually consume them or their products.

Ashley and Sarah Armstrong, also known as the Strong Sistas, are here to help others simplify and implement the foundations of true health. Their goal is to empower individuals to live their best lives, free from being stunted by a diagnosis and the confusion and fear that often accompany it. With firsthand experience, they understand the challenges of feeling lost and afraid, trying every restrictive diet, being prescribed numerous medications, and being told, “this is your new normal,” with no other options, answers, or hope for a positive outcome.

Ashley Armstrong received her PhD in Engineering and became a Professor, but during graduate school, she discovered her true passions for nutrition and regenerative agriculture, which led her to build Strong Sistas and start a regenerative farm from scratch. She has overcome numerous health challenges, including amenorrhea (no period for 12 years), autoimmunity, constipation and gut issues, PCOS, severe insomnia, orthorexia, iron overload, hirsutism, self-doubt, and estrogen imbalance.

The idea of living to 100 or longer but being as healthy as someone in their 30s is one I am both fascinated and hoping to achieve. And I believe at the core of this pursuit is data. But what data? What’s the most important, and how do you measure it? And how do you improve it? To answer these questions and many more, there was nobody better to have on the show than longevity expert Dr Jeffrey Gladden.

Dr. Jeffrey R. Gladden MD, FACC is a distinguished authority in the field of longevity and preventive medicine. As the founder and medical director of Gladden Longevity + Advanced Performance Center, an esteemed clinic located in Dallas, Texas, he is dedicated to optimizing life energy, longevity, health, and performance.

The present state of health care is a paradox. The stats are terrible and terrifying, with almost everything trending in the wrong direction. And yet at the same time, we have more and more innovative treatment options than ever before, and many of them work. I know that because I do it everyday in my other life in regenerative medicine. So today I speak to another regenerative expert in Dr Neil Paulvin, and we unpack the huge host of options the world of regenerative medicine offers people with cognitive decline or suffering burnout.

Dr. Neil Paulvin is an innovative physician in the study of Functional Medicine, Integrative Sports Medicine, Regenerative medicine, Osteopathic Manipulation and Craniosacral Therapy. He has a comprehensive approach that allows him to determine the cause of symptoms, and allows for a comprehensive treatment plan. His treatment plan will be a combination of lifestyle changes, supplements, and prescription medicines as necessary. Dr. Paulvin provides you access to the newest diagnostic testing, healing technology, medications and supplements to optimize your health as quickly as possible. Patient and physician work together on a personalized 360-degree approach to health, lifestyle & wellness. For those athletes, entrepreneurs and executives seeking to move beyond baseline, Dr. Paulvin can put together a comprehensive plan of action focused on human optimization and biohacking.

Join us as we explore:

The critical importance of diagnostics when assessing and remediating cognitive decline, and how these results drive treatment strategies.
The most comprehensive run down of treatment options for cognitive health you will ever hear! From peptides to red light, chambers and methylene blue.
A comprehensive list of symptoms and tests done to assess brain health, mental health and cognitive performance.
How Dr Pauvlin assesses HRV.
Why Dr Pauvlin is bullish on hyperbaric chambers and plasma exchange.
How to address the avatar that comes in burnt out!

I have been practicing regenerative medicine for nearly two decades, and I don’t know why it hasn’t taken off like I expected. I asked that question to Dr David Karli why he believes that is the case, and what he is doing to pioneer new techniques that produce better outcomes. This is a deep-dive, technical episode about the art and science of regenerative medicine, and in which situations it is the most appropriate model of care.

Dr. David Karli is a renowned leader in the field of Regenerative Medicine. He is an internationally known physician entrepreneur and respected author and lecturer in the field, having dedicated over twenty years of his life to perfecting life altering orthobiologic procedures for his patients. Many of his patients are long standing and travel thousands of miles to seek his care. He opened the Karli Center in March 2023 in Miami to create a focused resource, specifically devoted to advancing and delivering biological therapies, easily accessible to both national and international patients.

Join us as we explore:

Clearing up the confusion around regenerative medicine - what it is, what’s the goal, why it hasn’t taken off like I believe it should and Dr Karli’s practice of the art.
Cellular dosing - what is is, how it works and why it is at the center of the Karli Center.
Why it is misguided to to spend thousands and thousands on biohacking and therapies but you are not putting your OWN cells to work for you.
Whether the meniscus can be regenerated.
How functional medicine and regenerative medicine are going to intersect.

Dr. Leland Stillman is on my Made To Thrive advisory board because I value his insight on and clinical experience with integrative medicine. He has been on my podcast several times, and recently I returned the favour as a guest on his Integrative Medicine podcast.

In the episode, Dr. Stillman and I dive into important insights on my weight loss journey, nervous system regulation, chronic disease prevention, the significance of heart rate variability, breathwork, functional lab testing as well as the regenerative medicine like prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and ozone therapy that I have been practicing for decades . We also get into omega 3, why it’s so much more than just a fish oil and can fundamentally impact body composition, and my expertise working with clients on leveraging data-driven strategies, biohacking tools, and personalized coaching to drive real, sustainable health transformations.

Are we in the midst of a great awakening of humanity? That’s what my guest today, Dr Moshe Daniel Block, believes. But why does that matter? It is because this is a time of hope. As each individual dives deeper into exploring their “I AM”, the spirit that flows within them, and comes to the profound realization that their life can be wondrous and full of abundance and health the power of this collective awakening grows and more and more people will realize there is great power within them to overcome anything, even so called incurable illnesses.

Moshe Daniel Block, ND, VDP, HMC, VNMI got his degree of Naturopathic medicine from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (Toronto, Ontario) in 2000 (ND). Dr Block then went on to complete the Homeopathic Master Clinician course with Louis Klein, FSHom, in 2003 (HMC). Dr. Moshe is the author of The Revolution of Naturopathic Medicine: Remaining True to Our Philosophy (2004), a book about the philosophy and practice of naturopathic medicine, and Holistic Counseling – Introducing the Vis Dialogue (2016), a book about the breakthrough healing method uniting the worlds of Mind-Body Medicine & Psychology. Dr. Moshe has deepened and evolved his breakthrough mind-body medicine technique (The Vis Dialogue) over 25 years of practice, helping thousands of patients achieve life-changing results. He began training doctors in 2012 and has since created his full certification program in Holistic Counseling to help practitioners be able to reproduce the amazing results he gets with the Vis Dialogue (VDP).

Dr. Moshe has also specialized in helping people with myasthenia gravis in his practice – a rare, progressive, incurable, and potentially fatal auto-immune disease that he personally faced and overcame using the same medicine he now uses and teaches.

Join us as we explore:

How Dr Moshe’s unique Vis Dialogue method has helped people reverse and cure chronic autoimmune diseases like myasthenia gravis and ulcerative colitis.

It’s called The Great Plant-Based Con, and boy oh boy, is it a con. From NGOs, Big Pharma, Big Ag, celebrities, universities, researchers, government - it’s a complicated web of interconnected incentives. I ask listeners to go into this podcast with an open mind, and truly listen to the knowledge of author Jayne Buxton based on the incredible amount of research she did in putting this book together.

Get your copy of The Great Plant-Based Con NOW: https://thegreatplantbasedcon.com

Jayne was born in the UK and has lived in Canada, the US and the UK. She has an MBA from IMD Business School and a master’s degree in creative writing from Kingston University. She spent fifteen years working as a management consultant specialising in business strategy and data analysis at a major international consultancy before publishing her first work of nonfiction, Ending the Mother War, Starting the Workplace Revolution in 1998.

After the publication of Ending the Mother War, she became a regular spokesperson and writer on work-life issues. She has now turned to writing full-time. Like Ending the Mother War, Jayne’s new book, The Great Plant Based Con, challenges the dominant narrative about an important issue and proposes a compelling alternative perspective.

Why following the money is at the core of the plant-based revolution
The incredible distortion of the public’s perception when it comes to environmental statistics and agriculture.
Why believing plant-based eating or veganism is “death free” is completely wrong and dishonest.

This is a step we must take. I have never seen anxiety like I have in the past few years and it is going to get worse until we move beyond the “just deal with it” paradigm and move to a heal it, grow from it and thrive from it paradigm. That’s why I cannot wait for you to listen to this episode with The Anxiety MD Dr Russ Kennedy. He is taking a body first approach to anxiety and actually healing it for good.

Dr Russell Kennedy is a physician, neuroscience expert, somatic intuitive, certified yoga instructor, meditation teacher, and professional stand-up comedian—someone who personally struggled with crippling anxiety for decades before finally finding true healing. Now, he is dedicated to guiding others through non-traditional treatments for anxiety, challenging the effectiveness of conventional methods that have long failed to provide lasting relief.

**Using a unique combination of neuroscience, somatic work, and psychedelics, he has developed a transformative approach to understanding and healing anxiety—one that has reshaped both his own life and the lives of his patients. Instead of letting anxiety dictate one’s existence, he empowers individuals to take full control, offering a path to lasting resilience and freedom from the relentless grip of fear and overwhelm.

How anxiety ruins relationships and diminishes intelligence and rationality.
Why the plan should be not to just deal and cope with anxiety but to HEAL it!

Kelly Brogan has been on quite the journey. From the most orthodox believer in and member of the medical cathedral, to then writing a best selling book that rejected that system outright to now doing her deepest work in self reclamation and femininity, Kelly shares insights and reflections I believe will resonate with millions of women, and yes even men, out there. Why? Because she is speaking a message of eternal courage and truth, which is what I believe our world needs now more than ever.

In her psychiatric practice, Kelly specialized in a root-cause resolution approach to psychiatric syndromes and symptoms, seeking to uncover the deeper imbalances behind mental health challenges rather than merely treating surface-level symptoms.

Driven by a powerful mission, she is dedicated to holding the vision for embodied reclamation and whole-life empowerment. Through guidance, resources, and community, Kelly helps individuals break free from struggle and fully embrace their authentic selves, allowing them to experience the unique pleasure of their true essence.

Join us as we explore:

How putting her auto-immune thyroid condition into remission with non-pharmaceutical interventions made Kelly feel enraged and betrayed yet was also the pivot that altered the entire direction of her life.
Why Kelly took out a $ 2 million dollar life-policy before publishing her first book A Mind of Your Own.
How inspecting the “fix it” instinct is at the deepest core of knowing and owning ourselves.
Why only people willing to question and reinterpret everything about the world are the only people ready to do the deepest change work.
How Kelly’s programs move the sickest of sick women from barely surviving to radical thriving.
Kelly’s new book, the gift of masculinity and why nobody or nothing external needs to change for anybody to feel fully in control and accountable to themselves.

Let food be thy medicine. This has been known for thousands and thousands of years. And yet somehow we have let Big Food and their toxic processed food run riot with our health. Today’s guest has done incredible research on how small, easily achievable adjustments to calcium and protein intake can reduce an elderly person’s risk of hip fracture, and therefore likelihood of early mortality, by nearly 50%. The message of today’s show is that the more real food we can provide ourselves and our family, the stronger, healthier and longer we are going to live together.

Dr. Sandra Iuliano is a renowned expert in integrative and functional medicine, specialising in personalised health approaches that address the root causes of chronic conditions. She is also a researcher at the University of Melbourne, based at Austin Health, where her work focuses on the benefits of improved nutrition in reducing falls and fracture risk in the elderly, particularly those in aged care. Dr. Iuliano’s research highlights the significant impact of diet and lifestyle on preventing age-related health issues, such as osteoporosis and frailty.

Join us as we explore:

Why the elderly are at more fracture and mortality risk due to dietary deficiencies, and how a small change in what you eat can reduce hip fracture risk by 46%.
Why children are not getting enough calcium and impact-type exercise during crucial early years of development and creating bone density disease later in life.
How to eat to get sufficient calcium, even with dairy intolerance.
Protein intake requirements from childhood to the elder years.
The highest calcium and protein foods per gram, and why quality beats quantity.

At least 60% of the biological audits I conduct find an underperforming, or lazy thyroid. Which is bad news for metabolism, weight gain, energy and sleep. The question then is, why? Why are thyroids underactive? And how do we promote thyroid health under the pressure of the modern urban lifestyle and environment? That’s the question answered by one of South Africa’s premier endocrinologists, Dr Sindeep Bhana.

It’s a new year, so I want to begin with new hope. Mental health and performance is in an abyss I have never seen before. Brain fog, memory problems, mental fatigue, anxiety and everything else, we need new solutions to these ever-growing problems. That’s why I wanted to begin 2025 with Dr Jeoff Drobot, a pioneer who has for decades tried every health optimisation strategy and tool under the sun. Dr Drobot is tackling cognitive decline, mental distress and a host of autoimmune diseases by targeting the central nervous system with a unique bio-electric model.

Stem cells are the key to your longevity. These miracles of life are what repair and rejuvenate everything about you biologically, creating “new” organs every few years and repairing damage and disease. But as we age, live unhealthy lifestyles and live in unnatural, toxic environments, the production and circulation of stem cells begins to wane, and thereby so does our health and therefore our life. That’s why Christian Drapeau and his patented stem cell mobilizing product is so exciting and as you will hear, literally changing people’s lives with unexpected and miraculous recoveries.

Christian Drapeau is a stem cell scientist, author, and innovator behind the first-ever stem cell supplement. With a graduate degree in Neurophysiology, he has over 30 years of experience in medical research, with the past two decades dedicated specifically to stem cell science. As the author of five books, including the best-seller Cracking the Stem Cell Code, and the publisher of numerous scientific papers, he introduced the concept of “Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization.” Currently, he serves as the CEO and Founder of Kalyagen, where he developed STEMREGEN, the most advanced stem cell mobilizer on the market.

Are you listening to your scalp? Because what is going on your head, and how your hair feels is at the crux of your hair health and your chances of hair loss. We are so emotionally connected to our hair, and people are willing to try just about anything to keep their hairspan! But that can be risky, and I regularly hear stories from patients about how trying some standard cream has had terrible side effects. That’s why you need to listen to Dr Alan Bauman, a true expert and pioneer in the world of hair loss and hair REGROWTH, because hair loss for you does not need to be like your father or grandfather.

**Dr. Alan J. Bauman, MD, ABHRS, IAHRS, FISHRS is a full-time hair transplant surgeon who founded his medical practice in Boca Raton, Florida in 1997 and has treated over 34,000 patients and performed over 12,000 hair transplant surgeries to date.

Dr. Bauman is one of only approximately 200 physicians worldwide to achieve certification from the esteemed American and International Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS), be an accepted member of the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons (IAHRS) and also recommended by the American Hair Loss Association. Recently, Dr. Bauman was named both a “Top 5 Transformational CEO” and one of “The 10 CEOs Transforming Healthcare in America” in Forbes, voted North America’s “, #1 Top Hair Restoration Surgeon” by Aesthetic Everything for 8 consecutive years and awarded "Hair Restoration Surgeon of the Decade."**

Join us as we explore:

Hair health and what it tells us about our health status, using AI powered follicle microscope, the scalp microbiome and why Dr Bauman is seeing patients earlier and earlier struggling with hair loss?
How to take a proactive and preventative approach to hairless and what the options are for men and women in the process of hair loss?

Your bones are the pillars of what it means to be “strong for life”, and there are few things are as important for health span and longevity as the strength of our bodies to be functional in our latter years. It is assumed that it’s the likes of cancer and heart attacks at the centre of premature death, but falling down and breaking our bones is right up there as a leading cause of death in those over 60, with 20% of hip fractures leading to death within one year of injury. That’s why it’s time to start lifting heavy, building your bone bank and getting strong for life.

Belinda Beck is a Professor in the School of Health Sciences & Social Work and member of the Menzies Health Institute Queensland at Griffith University where she has taught musculoskeletal anatomy and conducted bone research for over 20 years. Belinda graduated from The University of Queensland with a degree in Human Movement Studies and from the University of Oregon with a Master of Science and a PhD. She completed a postdoctoral research fellowship in the Stanford University School of Medicine. Her work, primarily related to the effects of mechanical loading on bone. She has published over 100 scientific papers, and presented almost 200 abstracts at conferences and symposia globally. Most recently Belinda, with her Griffith colleagues, published the results of the LIFTMOR, LIFTMOR-M and MEDEX-OP clinical trials which re-established the benchmark of exercise as therapy for osteoporosis and low bone mass. Belinda established The Bone Clinic Pty Ltd in 2015 to roll out this groundbreaking program of research as ONERO.

When it comes to health, we can get stuck in the details, the specifics, the data, the tests, the supplements, the diets. But above all of that is you; who you are, what you believe in, your history, your hopes, and your environment, where you live, who you live with, your friends, your community. These are the variables that Dan believes more than anything dictate our health and the future of human health.

Prof. Dan Ariely conducts research in behavioural economics. His immersive introduction to irrationality occurred years ago while recovering from injuries sustained in an explosion. After leaving the hospital, Dan became fascinated by the realization that humans consistently and predictably make flawed decisions in various aspects of life. He is a Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University and is a founding member of the Center for Advanced Hindsight and the author of the popular books Irrationally Yours, Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, and The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty.

“What else do I not know that I don’t know”. Asking this question was the catalyst of my guest’s biohacking and health success story. It is a statement of curiosity and also accountability to find solutions, both being the heart of biohacking. Because biohacking is not about spending $2 million on unaffordable gadgets and novel treatments, and my amazing guest today Julie Gibson Clark is living proof that foundational lifestyle techniques outperform everything else.

**Julie Gibson Clark, a former structural engineer turned recruiter, spent over a year holding the 2nd ranked spot on the Rejuvenation Olympics leaderboard (prior to the rule change). Based in Phoenix, Arizona, this single mother competes on a budget of under $150 per month. Despite her modest budget, Julie’s biohacking routine is refreshingly simple: a focus on mindset, regular exercise, sauna sessions, a vegetable-rich diet, and a selection of affordable supplements.

Her recent DNA methylation test revealed a remarkable aging pace of just 65 days for every 100 days, highlighting that significant longevity benefits are achievable without substantial expense.**

Julie’s results demonstrate that effective biohacking for longevity can be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial status.

Join us as we explore:

Why biohacking does not need to be expensive, and how Julie is proving that as reality.
Julie’s longevity stats and her daily routine that everyone can do that outperforms $2 million worth of gizmos and gadgets.

Treating root causes not diseases are at the core of functional medicine, and that includes hormonal health. If someone is hormonally deficient and unbalanced, simply put they’re in trouble. It’s the reason why girls are reaching puberty 4 to 5 years earlier than generations before, and women are hitting perimenopause often a decade too early! And that reason is they are vitamin and mineral deficient, sunlight deficient, sleep deficient, stress excessive and therefore hormonally deficient.

Dr Carrie Carda is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology with a specialization in bio-identical hormone therapy. She earned a master's degree in metabolic medicine and nutrition from the University of South Florida School of Medicine. Currently, she recently completed a second master's degree in Integrative and Functional Medicine at George Washington University School of Medicine. Dr. Carda's patients benefit from her expertise in nutritional supplements and her training in metabolic medicine. She proudly serves as the Medical Director of Ozark Weight Loss Center, where she has been instrumental in advising and formulating supplements to enhance the health of her patients.

We are not biological beings. This huge misconception and misunderstanding about human health could be why chronic disease continues to soar, and why despite having more doctors, even functional health doctors, hospitals and medicine than ever before, health outcomes are still deeply worrying.

This is my topic of 2024 - food. We need it to survive, and we need it to thrive, but food is also the most frequent and widespread choice for abuse, over use and addiction.

My sense is that by better understanding and unpacking the human relationship with food in modern times, including ultra-processed food, the more people will feel able to break the chains of enslavement to food addiction, disorders and abuse that is at the crux of obesity, diabetes, neurodegenerative disease and many more diseases.

What I loved about this episode with Jillian Acosta was getting vulnerable about my personal food relationships, as well as Jillian’s unique twist on the concept of addiction.

Jillian Acosta, a registered dietitian, specializes in functional medicine and the psychology of eating. Owner of the nutrition private practice, The Root Cause Method, she guides clients towards health and vitality in unconventional ways. Jillian believes many of the chronic illnesses exacerbated by obesity are deeply rooted in trauma.

In her practice, she collaborates with physicians who administer ketamine, using this powerful tool as a means to help her clients transform their relationship with food, feelings and Self.

Uprooting what shapes our relationship with food is essential, in her experience, for reversing and preventing chronic illness, and can lead to true embodiment , fulfillment, and connection.

Join us as we explore:

What Jillian’s life and clinical experience has led her to believe is the root cause of obesity and its associated health risks.

The original wound at the heart of binge and excess eating, and why Jillian does not associate or work with the idea of addiction.

The psychology of unhealthy eating habits.

Unpacking Jillian’s Root Cause Method with my own food crutches I call Candice, Chelsea and Carly!

Mindful vs embodied eating.

Why Jillian believes healing cannot be fully accessed without stepping through one key doorway.

**An enormous array of health and performance problems can be distilled into one word - disconnection. Mental health distress is usually a disconnection from our purposes and community.

A disease like cancer has been described as a malady of separation. Diabetes is a disconnection from natural foods. And at a higher level, all of these are disconnections from the Earth. Which is why earthing or grounding is such a fascinating health philosophy, and one I explore in this episode with a true elder of the earthing movement, Clint Ober.

For more than 20 years, Earthing pioneer Clint Ober has dedicated his life to improving the health of everyone on earth. In 1998, after a successful career grounding systems in the cable television industry, he began investigating the potential to improve human health with grounding.

Today, he is the founder of Earth FX Inc., a grounding research and development company based in California through which he helped to develop, and patent, the first indoor Earthing products. Earthing® and Ground Therapy® are sold by Clint’s companies on this website, www.Earthing.com, and also on Amazon.com and via other select authorized retailers.

His products are used by millions of people every day around the globe to improve their quality of life.

Join us as we explore:

What is earthing, the difference to grounding, how much grounding we need and how humans have become decoupled from the earthy and why it matters.

How Clint discovered the link between inflammation, autoimmune diseases and shoes, which led him to researching earthing as a pain relief solution.

Are you grounded in your home, how geography matters, how building material matters and how we can choose and design our environment for increased grounding.

The medical miracles, from MS to lupus, Clint has see with his own eyes by restoring the bodies natural reservoir of electrical health.

The most necessary and effective earthing products.**

I know how many of you feel. Ashamed at constantly failing a diet, ashamed you can’t lose the weight, wondering why you don’t have the willpower, embarrassed you don’t have the means or the time to treat yourself better. Well, there is hope, and that hope starts by admitting we are addicted, meaning we are enslaved to something - sex, drugs, money or sugar.

This episode was a sobering, clear-eyed realization that even someone like myself who is aware of the addictive nature of sugar did not fully appreciate the Thanos-like power sugar possesses and the havoc it is wreaking in people’s lives each and every day.

Bitten Johnson is a recovering addict since September 1985, with several outlets - the number one being sugar. When she looks back, she sees her sugar addiction started at a very young age. When Bitten was four years old, she stole sugar cubes in the kitchen whenever she could.

After being in treatment for alcoholism, a consequence of sugar addiction, Bitten started her journey into recovery. Today, Bitten’s mission is to free addicts, especially sugar addicts, from being a slave to the sweetness.

Why sugar addiction is not just about “sugar” as you think of it.

Why Bitten has seen that the diagnosis as sugar addict is paradoxically the most important step her clients take.

The steps necessary to tackle sugar addiction, including what foods form the new foundation of your diet.

Awareness is at the core of transformation. That’s why I believe so deeply in the data centric model, because by investing in your own data you become aware of your unique biological profile and take intentional, precise action to improve your health and life. That’s why my guest today and I go deep into the diagnostic tests out there and which are most crucial to start your data centric health journey.

Reed Davis, Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) and Certified Nutritional Therapist (CNT), is an expert in functional lab testing and holistic lifestyle medicine. Over 20 years ago, Reed Davis recognized people were caught in a “cycle of trial and error” and he committed to being the last person they needed to see.

While working with top leaders in alternative medicine, he ran thousands of labs on thousands of people and learned to identify “healing opportunities.”

Using all-natural, drug-free protocols, Reed made observations about who got better and who didn’t, codifying which “general principles of health building” would outperform “specific treatments” being provided by standard and even alternative medicine.

And through this work, he then developed the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Certification Course and D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success Protocol® to educate and empower as many people as possible about how to get well and stay well naturally, so they, in turn, may empower others to do the same.

And because you are a loyal listener, Reed is offering you FREE access to one of its most popular webinars called Step by Step System to Overcome Unwanted Health Issues at www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/madetothrive

Healing opportunities - An entirely new paradigm!

**Migraines are crippling experiences for their sufferers. They often also come in concert with a host of other devastating symptoms that can wreak havoc in people’s lives. Yet, they have eluded medical treatment for years, with success here and there for certain types and some lucky patients, but overall, many remain quote unquote untreatable. Well, Dr Kevin Smith and his 90% success rate has something to say about that.

Dr. Kevin Smith is one of the few facial plastic surgeons who is board certified by both the American Board of Otolaryngology (ENT) and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery as well as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He is the first Black American to have completed a residency in Otolaryngology at the University of Texas Medical School, for nearly two decades has served as an Assistant Clinical Faculty Member, and was appointed to the Texas Medical Board.

As a facial plastic surgeon, Dr Smith has performed thousands of facial plastic surgeries. At the same time, he developed a niche treating migraine headache patients with a little known cure, identifying that in more than 2,000 patients the migraine was caused by a deviated septum or bone spur in the nose, and when properly diagnosed and removed with his unique treatment technique the success rate is nearly 90%.

Join us as we explore:

**Are we all addicts? When it comes to processed food I am concerned. This is a sobering episode about the horror processed food is wrecking in people’s lives who are largely totally unaware of what is happening to them. With 93% of adults in the US having a metabolic diagnosis of some kind, we as a culture need to wake up quickly because processed food seems to be coming for all us. You need to know this, and share it with family and friends.

If this episode speaks to you, join Dr Joan’s daily support system ARC: https://www.foodaddictionreset.com/offers/GLtnGux5/checkout Since 1996, Dr. Joan Ifland has helped people recover from diet-related disease by focusing on addiction to processed foods. As both an academic and a front-line guide, she has taught thousands of compulsive eaters how to find peace with food and recover from diabetes, heart disease, cancer, depression, fatigue, isolation, and obesity.

Through adaptation of drug and alcohol addiction recovery methods, Dr. Ifland gives practitioners and clients new insights into why food addiction recovery can generate extraordinary health outcomes. With the publication of her textbook, Processed Food Addiction, she is considered to be the world's leading expert in processed food addiction.

Join us as we explore:

The foundations of food addiction, the frightening science concerning processed food addiction - sugar is MORE addictive than cocaine - and the unjust moral judgment this addiction puts us in.

Unintended use, cravings, proximity, failure to cut back and time spent - the insidious strategies addicting people to processed food.

Why addiction to processed food is NOT an accident, the unbelievable link to tobacco companies and addiction strategies (5As, 3Ms).

This is a controversial podcast about what has been the most taboo topic in medicine for over half a century - vaccine-induced harm. Revolutionary ideas are often seen as heretical before time proves them otherwise.

Individuals like Marc are deemed heretics by the regime until they are proven right. Will Marc be proven right? Only time will tell, but there is enough signal on this issue that it merits serious scholarly investigation, which is what Marc has done with his new book, “The Needle’s Secret”.

**“A rapid advance in technology with a slower catchup in biology”. That simple but profound fact is at the crux of cancer. Week after week I walk into offices with dinosaur toys for my clients. Why? Because of exactly what Professor Thomas Seyfried will explain today - urban humans are evolutionary victims of the abundance of energy available, and storing all this excess, engineered and genetically modified energy is making us sick. It’s giving us cancer. But there’s good news - we have everything we need to beat cancer today.

Thomas N. Seyfried received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry, and is currently a professor at Boston College. He is a many time award winning professor, chair of various committees and editorial boards, and has over 150 peer-reviewed publications and is the author of the book, “*Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer***” (Wiley, 1st ed., 2012).

The book presents extensive research that cancer can be best defined as a mitochondrial metabolic disease rather than as a genetic disease. This new concept has implications for the development of new non-toxic cancer therapies including the ketogenic diet.

Join us as we explore:

Why Professor Seyfried believes the reasons behind the rise in cancer are not a mystery, and can be precisely pinpointed.

Why the medical and academic establishmenst are getting cancer all wrong, and despite billions of dollars spent in “the war on cancer” more people die everyday than the day before, with about 70 people per hour in the US.

The what’s and how’s everyone can do to today to give themselves the best chance of preventing cancer - there’s two huge ones!

How the lives of wolves and domestic dogs clearly demonstrate the story of cancer in the modern age.

The two pronged attack Professor Seyfried believes can successfully target any cancer.**

Liquid, solid, gas. H20. That’s water right? Not so fast. There is a fourth and fascinating phase of water called EZ or structured water. And this is not a new discovery but one that no attention is being paid to. And I cannot understand why. I structure my water, and after today’s discussion with the father of EZ water Dr Jerry Pollack, you may want to structure your water too.

Dr Gerald (Jerry) H. Pollack is a scientist recognized worldwide as a dynamic speaker and author, whose passion lies in plumbing the depths of natural truths, especially known for his work on water. He received the 1st Emoto Peace Prize, and is a recipient of the University of Washington's highest honor the Annual Faculty Lecturer Award. He is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the research journal WATER and Director of the Institute for Venture Science. Dr. Pollack's (award-winning) books include: The Fourth Phase of Water (2013), and Cells, Gels, and the Engines of Life (2001).

Join us as we explore:

Why water is NOT always the H20 you know it to be!!!

EZ or fourth phase water - what is it, how was it discovered, how to create more in your body and why it is crucially important for your health.

An amazing possibility that EZ water turns our cells into batteries!

Why the sun is at the crux of structured water.

Feeling fatigued - you may be EZ water deficient!

The relationship between EZ water and cancer cells.

**After 25 years of meeting and treating people in pain, I have learnt that chronic pain is a complex condition, and solutions often prove illusive. And as the pain continues month after month, year after year, failed treatment after failed treatment, doctor after doctor, people fall into depression, disillusionment and despair.

Understandably so. That’s why when I hear Court’s stories of spontaneous recovery and single treatments resulting in total pain remission, I feel hopeful that a future exists where less people are going to have to surrender to unending suffering.

Court Wing is a former chronic pain sufferer and the founder and CEO of REMAP Therapeutics, an organization dedicated to exploring, innovating, and developing the intersection between psychedelics and chronic pain. Seeing an unmet need, REMAP organized and hosted the first of its kind “Psychedelics and Pain Symposium” with some of the most prominent researchers in the field.

REMAP Therapeutics is devoted to the development of formal psychedelic rehabilitation sessions and cohesive best practices for many treatment-resistant chronic pain conditions.

Join us as we explore:

The sad statistics of chronic pain, the technical definition, why we are seeing so much of it, why we have been unsuccessful at treating it and why psychedelics provide new, genuine hope for a pain treatment renaissance.

How less than a handful of psychedelic dosages allowed a war veteran to move toes and fingers she hadn’t been able to move for 7 years.

The incredible connection between our eyes, our visual field, being outside and chronic pain!

You’ve heard of the microbiome, but what about the psychobiome!

Why treatment is not just about the psychedelic - it’s about the combination with human connection and a process of therapy or counseling.

They are the unsung heroes of the body. Those trust steeds that move us through the journey of life, taking us from place to place, moment to moment, adventure to adventure. That’s right - our feet. These humble appendages are so often overlooked, taken for granted and expected to be okay. But feet need to be cared for and considered like everything else, and that’s why I decided to talk to foot surgeon Dr Andrew Lundquist.

Dr Andrew Lundquist is a Foot and Ankle Surgeon, Chief Medical Officer of Mankato Clinic, Chief Innovation Officer at Stratum Med, Clinical Director at Nabla, co-founder of sky-surgical.com and writes on the Substack “Get Better.Health”. With over 16 years of experience as a foot and ankle surgeon and a MBA degree, Andrew became passionate about improving patient care through system innovation and strategic leadership. His mission is to leverage his skills and experience to advance the field of orthopedics and healthcare in general.

**You can survive weeks without food, days without water but only a few minutes without your breath. Yet when thinking about health, we spend so much time debating diets and exercise, and too little discussing how we breath, why we breathe, what we can use breathing for and the unexpected but meaningful places breathing can take us. So today’s episode is with another breathing pioneer Gio Bartolomeo and his breathwork journey.

Giovanni Bartolomeo is an entrepreneur and life adventurer with a passion for teaching, experiential learning and creating deep connections with others. He is the founder of Elemental Wellness studio in Toronto, founder of Elemental Rhythm Breathwork Programs and Facilitator Training, host of the podcast Elemental Awakening, co-founder of The Personal Development School, a breathwork facilitator and life/executive coach.

He is always looking for the next consciousness-expanding learning experience whether it be climbing mountains in his shorts with Wim Hof, participating in Traditional Ayahuasca ceremonies, or challenging his mind and body to see what new limits he can reach. His mission is to create new ideas and ways to help improve the planet for not only the people currently living on it but for those who we will leave it to one day.

Join us as we explore:

An a to z of breathwork. From calming yourself down to mystical experiences, and everything in between, Gio’s stories about breathwork will blow you away.

A detailed dive into the cold - what it’s good for, when to use it and when not to.

Why adding music and rhythm to breathwork is scientifically backed to reprogram your brain.

Whether NAFLD or MASLD, the facts remain the same - livers are sicker than they’ve ever been. And the reason why is the crux of this episode. It’s not the ills of old like hepatitis or alcohol that’s actually why the majority of liver transplants are done - it’s fatty livers. And the saddest part - fatty liver disease is a completely avoidable and reversible disease that requires no more than the basics of eating well, sleeping well and moving our body enough.

NAFLD and MASLD - why did the name change, the number one drivers of fatty liver disease, signs and symptoms to watch out for, and the most important remediations.

Why fatty liver is the forgotten disease, and why catching it early improves odds of reversal significantly.

Why seeing children as young as 8 years old led Kristin to approach fatty liver lifestyle changes through a family lens.

The connection between fatty liver and liver cancer.

Why it’s not only about BMI and waist circumference, it’s about your unique metabolic type.

So nice, I had to do it twice. Or rather - so down beat, I had to do a repeat. I have done back to back episodes on the anti-nutrients in our food, especially the nasty nature of oxalates, because the topic is hugely unknown of. This was a truly mind-opening episode with Sally Norton. I saw so many interrelated health problems that may have oxalates as their root cause.

This is a wow episode, do not miss it.

Sally K. Norton is an expert in the art and science of healthy eating and healthy living. She received her degree in Nutrition from Cornell University and her Masters degree in Public Health from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Throughout her long career as a health and nutrition educator.

Sally’s interest and expertise in dietary oxalates originated from personal experience in healing pain and fatigue for herself and many clients. She is the author of “Toxic Superfoods: Learn How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick—and How to Get Better”.

Join us as we explore:

Why so many healthy or even superfoods are in fact not healthy and are full of an unknown compound called oxalates that are in fact a toxic compound that in the past was used to bleach leather and remove rust.

What foods to avoid if you suspect you may be oxalate overloaded - this list is shocking!

Protein, carbs or fat? That’s what 99% of us are thinking about when it comes to food. But there is so much more to food, and that is what this episode is all about. Is your food nutritious? That’s what we wonder, but are we asking if it’s anti-nutritious!? A true pain to purpose story is why Teri Cochrane is on the show today sharing the science about food you have never heard of!

Teri Cochrane is the founder of Teri Cochrane - Beyond Nutrition, an international thought leader in longevity and a pioneer in personalized wellness. A mother of two, an entrepreneur and, some say, a spiritual scientist, over decades of clinical work and unprecedented client results, Teri has developed my own approach to integrative health that focuses on the ever-shifting needs of the individual.

Her patented practitioner model, The Cochrane Method®, examines the intersection of genetic tendencies, energy, and current state of health and speaks the motto - whatever your condition, we will figure you out - simply & elegantly.

A health crises with her children led to the development of The Wildatarian® Diet, and then the creation of a gene-smart supplements range. She works with clients globally from athletes to top doctors and anyone wanting her skills as a medical intuitive to help maximize their human potential.

Join us as we explore:
The four big nutrition hijackers! Is your nutrition being stolen from you? Dimensions of food you have probably not paid any attention to.

How a significant health crisis of her 3 year old and the failed attempts with traditional medicine was the catalyst to Teri Cochrane figuring out the food her son was eating was “poison”.

Why your genetics truly are at the foundation of your eating plan.

Reversing MS, MAST, Hashimoto’s and more. And when you hear Teri tell these stories, you will believe it.

Have we gone KETO crazy?!? Teri thinks so.

The Hundred Monkey syndrome and what that means to the food supply chain.

It keeps coming up over and over again. It’s the reason why after a lifetime of eating it I cannot eat garlic anymore.

This episode about cancer is a game-changer. 99% of anyone who listens to this will encounter concepts around cancer they have never heard before. Not only does Dr Katie Deming throw ideas about cancer being a genetic disease well and truly into the dustbin, she is putting forth a cancer ideology that breaks every medical mold. And that’s why I loved this episode.

Dr. Katie Deming is a holistic oncologist approaching the treatment of cancer from an integrative perspective. In 2020, the height of her career in oncology, Dr Deming had an event similar to a near-death experience that changed everything, leading her to leaving traditional oncology.

Although she recognized the value of traditional cancer treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, Dr Deming then realized that there was so much more that patients needed to cure their cancer and become well.

She then spent the next several years researching the underlying causes of cancer, studying the conditions that facilitate healing in the body, learning what it means to become truly well and using her expertise to help patients bridge the world between conventional cancer therapies and healing on a deeper level.

Join us as we explore:

How the story of a river and a village changed Dr Deming’s perspective about cancer, traditional oncology and her shift to becoming an integrative, conscious oncologist.

Is cancer actually a metabolic disease? Is it a disease about our body water!?

A cancer doctor advising people to expose their skin to the sun without sunblock? Yes, you heard that right.

A cancer fighting diet that is not about keto or paleo or vegan but electrical charge!

Why detoxing is at the crux of cancer, from prevention to healing.

The role of exercise and movement in cancer, and how specific personalities hold emotional frequencies that could be cancer causing.

People don’t want to believe it but men are in trouble. From college and university attendance to suicide and friendship, the men are not alright. Why? Well, there is no one single answer but I suspect a significant cause underlying men’s ills is because they don’t have the testosterone they need.

So that’s what today’s episode is about with Dr Tracy Gapin - testosterone, why it’s declining, why it’s so destructive and what you can do about it.

The war men are losing against testosterone decline, fertility and sperm count. It is absolutely frightening yet people are complacent. Why? The answer is truly insightful.

Why low testosterone itself IS NOT the actual problem. That’s right - it’s a symptom! And why a shot of TRT and a viagra is NOT sufficient.

How one testosterone study in 1941 led to misguided prostate cancer treatment for more than 70 years!

The number one reason Dr Tracy believes testosterone is in free fall, why “normal” testosterone is NOT optimal testosterone and why you should measure your testosterone today.

Why testosterone is not only about your muscles - it’s about your brain and mental performance!

And why testosterone is not only important for men but as important for women too!

Every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Let that sink in. How can it be? How can it be that cancer diagnoses are only growing at the same time that there is more and more funding to fight cancer, more and more cancer drugs and more and more cancer doctors? Well, Dr Toni Galardi has a few things to say about that.

Dr. Toni Galardi has been speaking and coaching for over twenty years on the subject of change mastery. Her mission is to assist her clients and students in designing a road map to prepare for their next chapter, stopping the chronic pattern of waiting until a major crisis hits.

With humor and grace she refers to herself as “the poster child for the change impaired” because it took three near fatal experiences for her to figure out there was another way to prepare for change.

She is the author of the groundbreaking book The LifeQuakeTM Miracle: Awakening to Your True Purpose in Times of Personal and Global Upheaval; a body, mind, and spirit approach rooted in the neuroscience of mastering change, and her newest book “BreastQuake: Ten Proven Steps to Healing and Preventing Breast Cancer Without Surgery, Radiation, or Chemotherapy”.

She has dedicated her life to helping you manage change with greater ease while living a passionate, purpose filled life.

Join us as we explore:

The unbelievably frightening reality that every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, how that diagnosis is being given to younger and younger women but incredible stories of healing and remission.

Why men’s breast cancer is also on the rise!

Why women’s emotional and spiritual relationship with their breasts really matters to their breast health, and the crux of self-love to holistic health.

Careers that studies show make you more vulnerable to breast cancer.

Why anger, resentment, bitterness and similar emotions are a direct link to breast cancer.

How our toxic world and environment is at the root of increased breast cancer diagnosis, plus practical detox advice.

Feeling like you can’t take it anymore? Completely exhausted? Like no matter how much you do, you’re never getting anywhere?

Is trauma bad? It’s not as simple an answer as you think. Trauma is associated with negativity - pain, abuse, depression, sadness. But trauma is actually also associated with things like resilience, anti-fragility, post-traumatic growth and yes, success. Why is that? Why do some people find power in pain, and others are unable to overcome hardship? This double-edged sword fascinates me which is why I spoke to a true brain-trauma expert in Dr Marc Hauser.

Marc D. Hauser, PhD brings over 30 years of experience as a research scientist, educator, consultant, and public speaker, including national and international experience working with students, schools, universities, and NGOs. His scientific research, including over 300 published papers and seven books, has focused on how the brain evolves, develops, and is altered by damage and neurodevelopmental disorders, with an emphasis on the processes of learning and decision-making, as well as the impact of traumatic experiences on development.

Dr Hauser’s educational and consulting work has focused on the implementation of quantitative, brain-based methods for teachers, clinicians, and doctors working with children who have different disabilities, including especially those that result from a history of traumatic experiences.

His most recent book Vulnerable Minds is available now:

As the human story continues to evolve, many in modern times dismiss the practices and wisdoms of times gone by. Katie Silcox is not one of them. Reviving and re-embodying the 3,000 year old practice of Ayurvedic medicine and eclectic mysticism, Katie is approaching women’s health with an ancient and magical lens.

The first principle of Ayurvedic medicine is to approach care with love, and at Made To Thrive I believe all journeys begin with knowing purpose. After this podcast, I was reminded that as far as humanity seems to progress, those universal truths remain there to guide us if we allow ourselves the wisdom to hear them.

Katie Silcox, M.A. is the New York Times Best-Selling author of the book “Healthy, Happy, Sexy - Ayurveda Wisdom for Modern Women” and the upcoming new book “Glow-Worthy”. She is the founder of The Shakti School, a premier online certification school for women-centered holistic wellness.

She holds a Masters degree in Ayurvedic Medicine, is a member of the National Ayurvedic Medicine Association and is currently pursuing depth studies in Jungian Psychology.

Her platform focuses on the convergence of ancient holistic medicine, functional medicine science and heart-centered spirituality. In her former life, she has been a researcher in Artificial Intelligence, a cover model for Yoga Journal magazine in Russia and the owner of a beach bar in Spain.

Join us as we explore:
How the philosophy and practice of Ayurveda and governing universal laws continue to apply in modern times, and why Katie believes biohackers are the modern day Ayurvedic practitioners.

Ayurvedic doshas, and how they can unpack your strengths as well as your “imbalance tendencies”.

Oiling as a practice, what it achieves, the importance of love in the practice and what type is best for your dosha.

Sexual prana, why women’s health is reflected in sexuality, schizophrenic sexual signaling, sexual maturation and how to cultivate sacred feminine sexuality.

Why your wounds are your way forward to healing and consciousness and the fundamental principles of glow-worthiness.

Acorn theory, the tantric universe, the power of surrender and the most important question you need to ask yourself.

One of the blessings of doing this show is speaking to someone who is truly changing the world and future of healthcare. Dr Andrew Hill is one of those someone’s. This show inspired me with hope, and I know it will you too, because it takes so-called diseases like ADHD and anxiety and then not only looks at them from a paradigm shifting point of view that focuses on brain structure but provides an effective, side-effect free treatment plan that actually works.

Episodes like this once again point in the direction of bespoke medicine that leverages technology to help us feel and perform to our best.

Dr Andrew Hill has a PhD in cognitive neuroscience from UCLA, and extensive experience in the field of neurofeedback and QEEG. He is an expert in functional brain health and performance optimization, and has lectured on neuroscience, gerontology, & psychology at UCLA.

He is the founder of Peak Brain Institute, a neurofeedback and QEEG service composed of a network of dedicated biohackers, neuroscientists, coaches, wellness providers, therapists and trainers who can help you understand your brain and create customized plans for change.

They want to help people demystify their brains and learn how it performs and how it work, and through neuroscience-backed interventions teach people to overcome any bottlenecks in brain performance.

Join us as we explore:

How Dr Andrew Hill is looking at brains and mental health from a completely different paradigm! The stories he changes of healing and transformation are unbelievable.

How Peak Brain is taking mental health sufferings from the subjective to the objective. His work and research says so much of what we see are not a disease but more likely a misunderstanding of the fundamental structure and composition of your brain, its strengths and its bottlenecks.

ADHD, autism, seizures, depression, anxiety and social anxiety other so-called pathologies being treated objectively with measurable neurofeedback treatments where progress is made and tracked within weeks to months.

Why neurofeedback is not a mainstream, well known treatment protocol? (Sadly, it’s a too common story in the world of medicine.

The power of bespoke brain diagnostic and tailored-to-you neurofeedback treatment protocol versus high-level generic treatments.

Incredible and wise advice about not following the latest fad, new smart drug you hear about, and why improving your brain health and performance starts with the basics like macros, sleep and circadian rhythm versus a synthetically derived nootropic manufactured who knows where and with what.

What is a marriage? A piece of paper? A covenant? A contract? I know what marriage is and has been to me, but I also know that divorce rates are about 50% and like chronic disease, I would say we are losing the war against marriage, the relationship that for most people will form the crux of their lifelong community as first a child and then a parent.

That’s why I brought on a unique guest in holistic divorce and family lawyer Sara Intelligator. For superhuman health I believe everyone needs to invest in and sustain fundamental pillars, and for superhuman marriages I believe everyone needs to understand there are fundamental pillars that must be worked on and understood to sustain that special relationship.

Sarah A. Intelligator is a holistic divorce and family law attorney, relationship expert, yoga teacher and author of "Live, Laugh, Find True Love: A Step-By-Step Guide to Dating and Finding a Meaningful Relationship, By a Divorce Attorney".

Raised by a mother who has practiced Family Law for almost thirty years, and still practices, Sarah feels as though she has been exposed to the issues Family Law practitioners encounter on a daily basis, her entire life, and has been practicing exclusively Family Law since 2008 guided by the philosophy that family law litigation is highly emotional and deeply personal, and she is dedicated to striking that delicate balance between zealous advocacy and empathy.

Join us as we explore:

The most common reasons marriages end in divorce, and why intentional communication and discussion with a potential spouse prior to marriage is the foundation of a successful, lasting marriage.

Why attraction, butterflies in your stomach, lust, pheromones and even love are not enough when making the decision to find a life partner or spouse.

The “F-Words” that form the pillars to marriage. (and no, not that f-word!)

Why talking about children and how to raise them needs to be discussed well before they are born.

Imagining the perfect wedding day? It could be setting yourself up for major problems.

How to get the most out of dating, and give yourself the best chance of long term relationship success.

What is the state of world health today? And what does the future hold? For the first time in a while, I sense some real hope. It’s not every day one gets to speak to someone who is and has been at the forefront of public health for decades and decades, and that’s exactly who Dr Derek Yach is.

This episode is incredibly informative, with profound insight on incentives, human nature and psychology, preventative care and how technology really does have a chance to turn the tide on chronic disease.

Dr Derek Yach has focused his career advancing global health. He is currently an independent Global Health Consultant and board member in several major international organizations, and over his esteemed career has been chief health officer for the Vitality Group, and has held key positions at PepsiCo, the Rockefeller Foundation, WHO and Yale University.

Dr Yach was also the founder and president of the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World, an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating global efforts to reduce deaths and harm from smoking, with the ultimate goal of eliminating smoking worldwide, and the founder of the South African Medical Research Council.

Join us as we explore:

How humans respond to incentives, and the success of a program like Vitality has proven that changing incentives and reducing barriers to healthy behaviors does improve health not only in the short term but the long term.

Hyperbolic discounting is the foundation of sustainable change.

What’s missing? - an explanation why despite enormous increases in mental health medication over the past decades, mental health outcomes have only significantly worsened.

The power of community in everything important to medical and health outcomes. (You won’t believe how often Derek mentions it!!!)

Why it is never too old to begin disease prevention. Yes, you can reset and start fresh in your 60s, 70s, even 80s. Never give up, start with something small today!

The surprising truth of vaping and snus from an expert who has studied tobacco and nicotine use for decades.

What Dr Yach sees as the future of health and healthcare, including health coaches and how a university in New York is making real-time changes for people using wearables in Africa.

Autoimmune disease is set to cost the US over 1 billion dollars in healthcare needs a year. That number is frighteningly large. And that is what an autoimmune disease condition and diagnosis does to people – it scares them, they feel overwhelmed, doomed and like the situation is too big for them to manage.
I have seen this too many times in my life, which is why I am so happy to share with Thrive Nation the powerful women from Brightly Thrive. Co-founders Cassandra Carpenter and Noelle Creamer are changing lives by creating community, and providing genuine hope to suffering and showing that together we can overcome and triumph over life’s greatest health challenges.

Brightly Thrive are on a mission to bring people affected by autoimmunity together to harness the collective power of community. They believe that through education, connection, and support, we can reimagine what life looks like after an autoimmune diagnosis and learn to thrive brightly.

Guided by their values, Brightly Thrive empower members to discover the beauty that lies within an autoimmune diagnosis—the body’s ability to communicate through the subtle language of symptoms.

They provide education, offer a holistic range of lifestyle products, and are building a thriving community of people who see autoimmunity as their North Star to a brighter future.

Join us as we explore:

The painful epidemic of autoimmune disease, why it felt as a lonely and shameful experience and why creating a community and connection around autoimmune is crucially important to the journey of healing.

The shocking number of autoimmune conditions, the frustration of multiple misdiagnosis, underreporting symptoms and why it takes on average more than 4 years for someone to find a medical professional that understand their condition.

How autoimmune disease is no longer a life death sentence, the ripple effect, and powerful stories of how Brightly Thrive is “reimagining autoimmune together” and bringing healing and hope to thousands of people worldwide.

How the Brightly Thrive platform flips the script on autoimmune by not focusing on the diagnosis but rather on the foundational pillars of health.

Can you be honest, open and vulnerable with a group of strangers? Share your scariest truths and deepest pains? I believe we all can, but most of us don’t for fear of judgment, shame and embarrassment. But I believe all of us need to overcome fear and immerse ourselves with community, and tap into the powerful healing power of being surrounded. Which is what Vanessa Cornell is doing so successfully with her NUSHU groups.

This is the protein episode. The diet wars are raging stronger than ever, so I receive a lot of questions about which diet is best and what food to eat for weight loss or if plant protein is really as good as animal protein. I’m not picking sides either, everyone is unique and has the autonomy to make their own choices, but I do want to be on the side of science and facts. Well, if you want to know the answer to all those questions, and much more, don’t miss this episode with expert human nutrition scientist Dr Van Vliet. Dr. Stephan van Vliet is a nutrition scientist with metabolomics expertise in Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Sciences (NDFS). He earned his PhD in Kinesiology as an ESPEN Fellow from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and received training at the Washington University in St Louis School of Medicine and Duke University School of Medicine. Dr. van Vliet’s research is performed at the nexus of agricultural and human health. He routinely collaborates with farmers, ecologists, and agricultural scientists to study critical linkages between agricultural production methods, the nutrient density of food, and human health.Join us as we explore:If it actually matters to eat grass-fed beef vs factory farming grain fed and finished beef, but why the first step in nutrition has nothing to do with that.Did you know plant-based protein can have over 400,000 added ingredients?

This is my third show of the year on sexual health! Before 2023, I had done no shows on this topic. So why so many now? I believe this could be one of the most overlooked aspects of our health and wellbeing.

Everyone has heard plenty about diet and exercise, but who can discuss their sexual archetype, sexual matrix or sexual MOJO? Exactly. And that’s exactly what my guest today is going to unpack – your sexual MOJO.

Deborah Kagan helps women conquer self-doubt and indecision to step into their full power, love who they are and live a turned ON life.

She is the creator of the Rock Your Mojo™ programs, the author of Find Your ME Spot: 52 Ways to Reclaim Your Confidence, Feel Good in Your Own Skin and Live a Turned On Life and the host of The Real Undressed podcast. She's super social and wants to connect with you.

Find her on Facebook (/mojorecoveryspecialist), Instagram (@deborahkagan), Twitter (@deborahkagan), Pinterest (/deborahkagan) and LinkedIn (/in/deborahkagan). And for all things mojolicious, check out www.deborah-kagan.com/blog

Get her new book on pre-order NOW: https://tinyurl.com/2uwftp4p

Join us as we explore:

When Deborah realised women were “aching” for a way to discuss their sexuality and especially drop the shame and guilty around sex and their bodies.

Your MOJO (it’s an acronym!), your storehouse, playdates, the masculinization of women, becoming self-expressed and rediscovering your oracle.

Why everyone should care about their sexuality, the power of the Higgs-Boson in sexuality and what healing our sexual body can do for our health and wellbeing.

Creating a sexual sanctuary and what Deborah has seen as the most powerful sexual lifestyle interventions.

Our seven power centers, and why Deborah works mostly with the second and fifth centers for sexual health.

Appropriate sexual education at each age and stage of your life and how to educate the next generation in a healthy and safe way.

The psychedelic revolution isn’t coming. It is here, and it is moving at full pace in the United States, and within the next year or two many drugs that people still associate with partying will become the gold standard in mental health care and medicine. I have such hope for the future of psychedelics and believe it is crucially important to educate my audience about what the landscape looks like both now and in the near future.

Paul F. Austin is one of the most prominent voices in the world of psychedelics. As the founder of Third Wave, he has educated millions on the importance of safe and effective psychedelic experiences. A pioneer at the intersection of microdosing, personal transformation, and professional success, he has been featured in Forbes, Rolling Stone, and the BBC's Worklife. Paul helps others use microdosing as a tool for professional development and increased self-awareness by treating the use of psychedelics as a skill refined through mentorship and courageous exploration.

Get his new book Mastering Microdosing NOW: https://tinyurl.com/mastermicrodosing

Join us as we explore:
Everything psychedelics – what they are, the subgroups, the typical session and why Paul fundamentally sees their healing power in their deconditioning and alignment attributes.

Why psychedelics are not just about tripping but the fundamentally crucial pre-work, cultivating a clear intention, preparation and the critically important 3-week post-integration period with a coach.

The “start low and go slow” method, why the psychedelic process is like a lotus, what you resist persists, ego-dissolution and why Paul became such an advocate and expert in microdosing.

How Paul trains the future of psychedelic coaches and why these molecules are only tools and if not used correctly and with the correct people are likely to lead toextremely difficult and challenging situations.

The data, stats and yes risks around psychedelics and what Paul himself, already 14 years into his psychedelic journey, is excited about.

Decisions, decisions, decisions. I don’t think people appreciate the sheer volume of decisions they make every day. This has led to decision fatigue, as well as with the added daily stressors of modern life a willpower gap crisis. Add engineered food at an industrial scale and we have a food addiction epidemic driving the rampant obesity and diabetes crisis This was a much needed episode with food psychologist and brain scientist Susan Peirce Thompson who went from drug addiction and teenage prostitution to dedicating her life to non-addictive eating, weight loss and why our brain is at the center of the metabolic disorder epidemic.

Susan Peirce Thompson, Ph.D., is the New York Times best-selling author of Bright Line Eating, The Official Bright Line Eating Cookbook, and Rezoom. She is an adjunct associate professor of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester and an expert in the psychology of eating. She is president of the Institute for Sustainable Weight Loss and the founder and CEO of Bright Line Eating Solutions, a company dedicated to helping people achieve long-term, sustainable weight loss.

How Susan’s eating program is uniquely successful to others by reducing one key variable!

Why flour and sugar are drugs as strong as any other you can think of.The hard data from her Bright Light Eating program has shown to be as powerful as spending $ 1,000 on the “miracle” pharmaceutical semaglutide, backed up by published studies and without all the side effects.

Something must be done to change the trajectory of human health because the trends are catastrophic. But my mission is to transform lives and empower people to a life of good health, so despite sometimes feeling like this war is too big to win, I also know there are so many health heroes out there fighting in the same fight I am. That includes Dr Coburn Allen and the healthcare company Medici. This episode is an inside look into what the future of healthcare companies needs to look like if we are to reverse our sick-care system into an actual healthcare system.

Dr Coburn Allen is the Chief Medical Officer of Medici, a healthcare provider using the power of technology to offer people a better way. Motivated by the fact the United States spends twice as much on healthcare as its democratic peers yet has far worse health outcomes, Dr Allen’s mission is to create a healthcare system that is designed for the individual and aligned with real health. Medici allows patients easy access to a team of concierges, coaches, dieticians, nurses, doctors and specialists with just a single text message all at a simple, transparent and surprisingly low cost.

Join us as we explore:

What it is going to take to stop and reverse the sick-care system and stats that 60% of American adults have one chronic disease due only to lifestyle, 40% have two and most importantly on average all of them believe there is nothing they can do about it!

Why everyone needs not only a primary care physician in their life but a primary care team encompassing health care professionals like a health coach.

The power of measuring compassion in healthcare and using reality to motivate people to make sticky habits and change the trajectory of their lives.

The power of awareness and helping a pre-diabetic patient delay onset diabetes by 11 years with on average just one lifestyle change.

How the sickest 5% of people contribute to more than 50% of overall healthcare costs, and how preventative or medicine 3.0 is the only way forward we have to change that.

Using the power of AI to make a 20x better decision on whether to do further testing for patients, saving both lives and massive costs for patients.

The disastrous state of health of children, why college has become the nexus point of disease and what we need to do to change our kids’ future.

Brain health has been at the top of my health radar for 2023. I have already done powerful episodes with Dr Dale Bredesen and Dr Kristen Willeumier, but this episode with incredible genius and inventor Dr Brandon Crawford blew me away. He is taking brain health and healing to a new level with his custom-invented lasers that leverage different frequencies, wavelengths and colors to heal the human body and brain. He is constantly pushing the boundary of brain health and healing, and I cannot wait to have him on again in a year or two and unpack his latest discoveries and inventions.Dr Brandon Crawford is a functional neurologist with specialization in childhood neurodevelopment and photobiomodulation. He is the owner and lead physician at NeuroSolution Center in Austin, Texas, and the co-founder and managing partner at branches in Atlanta, Georgia and soon Dubai as well as their comprehensive product range. Dr. Crawford is known for his work and advancements in laser and light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, specifically within functional neurology.
Join us as we explore:Dispelling one of the most disempowering myths out there – that neuroplasticity, or our ability to rewire our brain, is something that stops after childhood. This is wrong! We can change our brains and therefore our minds till the last days of our lives. How neurodevelopmental problems in childhood can persist into adulthood and express as different symptoms, and how Dr Crawford’s unique auditing and assessment system can pinpoint neurological “wounds” and address them with simple, non-invasive techniques.

How Dr Crawford treated a case of a girl with severe autism who “wanted to rip his face off” to the point that diagnosis is gone!

The NeuroSolution pillars: ESM – energy, sensory and movement, and why Dr Crawford felt it necessary to invent custom lasers for brain healing.Photobiomodulation, mal-illumination, blue light-blocking glasses, how light frequencies are languages and what God created before life was light!

If you lose your mind, you lose your life and I'm seeing more people losing their mind, & therefore their life. 2023's been my hardest year of seeing more & more people fall into despair as their brain degenerates so rapidly. We need to do something about this. A few months ago I had Dr Dale Bredesen to prove to people Alzheimer’s can be reversed, & today I'm delighted to share Dr. Willeumier who is healing people’s brains & minds with scientifically backed yet practical and doable lifestyle interventions.

Kristen Willeumier, PhD, is a neuroscientist with research expertise in neurobiology & neuroimaging. From 2009-2016, Dr. Willeumier served as the Director of Neuroimaging & Clinical Research for the Amen Clinics, where she oversaw many pioneering studies, including a clinical research trial investigating the long term effects of repetitive head impacts on brain function in National Football League players.

Join us as we explore:How Dr. Willeumier found herself at the forefront of perhaps the most influential study of sports conducted asking if playing American Football, by far America’s most popular sport, cause long term brain damage?

How simple dietary and lifestyle modifications created “measurable changes” that lasted for years in the brain scanning of those same players.

Start-stop, start-stop, start-stop. I see it every day & have seen it every day for over 20 years. What am I talking about? Exercise. Or movement. Why? Why are people unable to sustain a movement or exercise practice despite it being more powerful than any diet could ever do? Tony Horton knows why, & I believe may have broken the start-start code. I love Tony’s story because it is so relatable and applicable, and I loved this podcast because not only did I learn about some of the blind spots in my movement life but because it could be the podcast somebody listens to who will change their movement life and therefore their health and life as a whole forever.

Did you have a good sex education? Almost nobody does or did. & that is why there is so much shame around the topic of sex, & why we are so unaware of the profound healing & health potential that exists in the sexual realm. I also love it because it brings it back to everyone’s uniqueness, & their unique sexual “data”. This was an enlightening & enjoyable podcast, & one I truly beg every one in Thrive Nation to listen to and even better listen to with their partner. Take her sex-life changing quiz now.

Jaiya is a sexologist who is passionate about helping people learn about their sexuality so they can have both deep love & hot passionate sex for a lifetime. She believes sex is much more than intercourse – it is healing, sacred & pleasure, and something that isn’t just done but central & essential to health and vitality.

Her mission is to help people gain access to erotic ecstasy. She is committed to shifting the cultural view of sexuality from being something that is bad, wrong or shameful to something seen as healthy, worth cultivating & celebrating. But she discovered that sexual techniques don’t create lasting passion & sexual satisfaction because sexual satisfaction is not one size fits all. That is what inspired her to develop Erotic Blueprints, a map of sexual arousal that reveals everyone’s unique erotic language. Her program & courses have been taken by tens of thousands of people. She has been a speaker for Tony Robbins, Mama Gena, Neil Strauss and Esther Perel, & been seen on Netflix’s ‘sex, love & goop’, Ricki Lake, The Doctors, Good Morning America, Nightline, The Anderson Show, The Tyra Banks Show, TLC, CNN or Playboy TV.

Join us as we explore:

Why you should care about your sexual health, & incredible statistics about sexual life and overall health.

The sexual evolution, not revolution, the human race needs, & Jaiya’s rule of 4.

The five stages of sexuality & the five unique sexual blueprints from “the sexual” & “the kinky”, & the shadow side of each.

How Jaiya practices what she preaches, & herself went from one year of a sexless marriage with her partner to an abundant sex life sixteen years later.

Armpit orgasms!?! & why there is so much more to sex than intercourse, & why matching & understanding your sexual blueprint is the key to unlocking the potential of sexuality.The way a shame-soaked media & culture has corrupted & perverted our ideas & experience with sex, & what it takes to de-program those narratives & provide the right parental guidance & education to young adults.

Health is about much more than the physical. Even more than the mental. I sense more and more ill health and disease are coming from people’s lack of care for their emotional and spiritual worlds. That’s why I brought Dr Erica Matluck on the show. She is doing the type of holistic medicine I believe in the next decades will become more mainstream than alternative. Dr Erica Matluck is trained as a Naturopathic Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, Reiki Master, massage therapist, and vinyasa and kundalini yoga instructor, and is teaching people to live more holistic, meaningful lives. After time in clinical practice and particularly inspired by seeing patients in groups, she created Seven Senses, which is the authentic expression of the sum total of her work.

It is a new paradigm of care- one where your health and your life are not separate. The work is done in partnership where it is redefined what wellbeing means to you and we address the physical, mental, emotional and energetic obstacles in your way. It is a holistic experience, where people heal, grow, gain new perspective, transcend limiting beliefs about themselves and their life and discover the creator that they are. Dr Matluck truly believes that everyone has the ability to thrive, and when we are all in this state our collective potential is infinite. Join us as we explore:Redefining what holistic medicine actually is, her four-quadrant model and why Dr Matluck’s typical patient has done excessive mind work but has forgotten what it means to be living in their body.

Why emotional health is the most underappreciated area of our health, how that has translated to the area with the least skill and awareness and why so many people are on the extremes – emotionally numb or emotionally sensitive.

The big word of this podcast – safety. And how the spectrum and vessel of safety is much more complex than we recognize.

Group work, and why Dr Erica and I believe the power of the group is what of the fundamental shifts we need to make in the world of medicine and healing.

The five ancient healing therapies, like the human universal of storytelling, and the role they play in Dr Erica’s work.

Here’s the truth - you cannot be healthy any longer living in an urban environment without supplements. Yet people are always reluctant to spend more on supplements, and also feel confused by the amount and variety on offer. But I am convinced that alongside vitamin d, anyone not living near the sea and eating fresh seafood needs to take supplementary omega 3.

Its holistic and synergistic function on your health cannot be overstated, and that was confirmed again by the omega expert Dr Bill Harris.

Dr. Harris is an internationally recognized expert on omega-3 fatty acids and how they can benefit patients with heart disease. He obtained his doctorate from the University of Minnesota and did post-doctoral fellowships in Clinical Nutrition and Lipid Metabolism. He is now a Professor in the Department of Medicine in the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota and the President and CEO of OmegaQuant.

Dr Harris’s interest in omega-3 fatty acids began with his postdoctoral work when he published his first study on the effects of salmon oil on serum lipids in humans (1980). Since that time he has been the recipient of five NIH grants for studies on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) on human health.

He has more than 300 publications relating to fatty acids, including omega-3s, in medical literature and was an author on two American Heart Association scientific statements on fatty acids: “Fish Consumption, Fish Oil, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease” (2002), and “Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Risk for Cardiovascular Disease” (2009) both published in the journal Circulation.

Join us as we explore:What we are even talking about when it comes to fatty acids including PUFAs, omegas and the incredible story of how omega’s lifesaving benefits were discovered.

The potentially life-saving role of omegas in guarding against the four killer horsemen of cancer, metabolic, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease.

The best way to get omega3 into your body – from what’s to how’s to how much.

Why even I myself, taking 2 grams a day and eating sardines almost every day, cannot get my omega ratio right!

Trauma is a big word these days. I hear it now everywhere all the time. But if everything and anything is traumatic, are we left with a world of only trauma and traumatised people, and where is the space for resilience, overcoming and growth? That’s why I can’t believe how perfect the timing was for this podcast with Britt Frank. Britt is no stranger to trauma, listen to find out how much trauma, but she is not allowing herself to be defined by it and is teaching people to move beyond their “stuck”. She strikes a beautiful balance of yin and yang in her work, and because the world is tough, it comes down to us “choosing our hard” and whether we want to suffer in pain and disease or strive to find healing and health.

Britt Frank, LSCSW, SEP is a licensed neuropsychotherapist and author of The Science of Stuck (Penguin Random House), named by SHRM, Esquire, New York Magazine, and The Next Big Idea Club as a must-read. Britt received her undergraduate degree from Duke University and her master’s degree from the University of Kansas, where she later became an award-winning adjunct instructor. Britt is a contributing writer to Psychology Today and her work has been featured in Forbes, NPR, Fast Company, Psych Central, SELF, and Thrive Global.

Join us as we explore:

Britt’s unique definition of trauma which brings a fresh degree of agency to the term because “brain do brain things” and what makes her “science of stuck” different.

Why the enemy is “not within”, and why partnering with our brains by believing it is on your side is a trauma game-changer.

Why the highly sensitive person and the emotional being is more vulnerable to internalizing events as traumatic but also why sensitivity is a superpower that should be leaned into.

Why the use of “war words” is creating confusion in the mental and emotional health world, and why new words and new choices, including microchoices, are everyone’s most important choice.

The trauma toolkit. What’s right for you and your circumstances? DBT, EFT, IFS, SE and more.How to teach trauma to the next generation, and why that does NOT begin with “validating all feelings and therefore excusing all behavior” but also why the future of the next generation begins with un-infantilizing the present generation.

The power of communities to safeguard against trauma, but more crucially what these communities need to model.

We each have our own unique why. A calling. A mission. My guest today Erik Korem has a mission to keep people to account. He has spent considerable time and effort studying all the companies promising their devices can change your health, actually checking the research and calling it like it is. We have interesting debates in the show, but ultimately we agree, data is not valuable without the human capital component that it must be partnered with.

Erik Korem is on a mission to help people change their world with his relentless pursuit of high performance. He believes that everyone’s health and well-being are their responsibility, whether they want to reduce stress, boost their energy, lose a few pounds, or sleep better, it all starts with adaptability. He is a PhD sports scientist with a passion for solving the data-to-action gap that exists in the wearable tech and mHealth space and does so with his company AIM7.

Join us as we explore:
What the research and science really say about exercise, zones, carrying weight, longevity, healthspan, HRV and steps but why for the everyday person trying to be healthy they need to focus on basics and consistency.

Why the number of exercise sessions per week needs to be understood in the context of intensity, regardless of what level of fitness you are at.

Why the key to wearables are not the wearables themselves but the human capital around them.

Whether you use Apple watch or OURA or Polar or WHOOP, the wearables 101 masterclass with expert analysis and opinion on wearables you won’t hear anywhere else.

Why accuracy does not matter about wearables as much as people think, and the one thing wearables measure that is totally misunderstood!

Social jetlag, the architecture of sleep and how the timing of your sleep puts pressure on different stages of sleep, and when it comes to sleep worry less about stages and more about the 3 key sleep behaviors.

Would you believe your genes could predict what job you should do, how to manage family politics and what kind of intimate partner you would be most attracted to? I wasn’t sure about it, but I was blown away by the calling and confidence of my genetic expert guest today Kashif Khan. Yes, Kashif is a genetic detective, and has transformed lives by unpacking their biological code, but at the same time he also knows those genes are not your destiny and while genes can load the gun it will still be how you live your life that pulls the epigenetic triggers.

And because you are here you are getting a special discounted code from Kashif’s company The DNA Code: www.dnacompany.com/thrive

Kashif Khan is Chief Executive Officer and Founder of The DNA Company, where personalized medicine is being pioneered through unique insights into the human genome. As Kashif dove into the field of functional genomics as the CEO of The DNA Company, it was revealed that his neural wiring was actually genetically designed to be entrepreneurial. However, his genes also revealed a particular sensitivity to pollutants. Seeing his health from a new lens Kashif dove further and started to see the genetic pathways that led to his own family's challenges, and the opportunities to reverse chronic disease. His measure of success is not in dollars earned, but in lives improved. Science outreach has become a passion project for Kashif, and he educates about functional genomics in an accessible format on his podcast, The Unpilled Podcast and his social media platforms. He is the author of the new book The DNA Way: Unlock the Secrets of Your Genes to Revere Disease, Slow Aging and Achieve Optimal Wellness.

Join us as we explore:Kashif’s pain-to-purpose story. Burdened by a variety of chronic conditions, Kashif discovered he was missing genes that made him particularly sensitive to environmental pollutants and with that knowledge not only reversed his chronic ailments but reversed his biological age.

The incredible story of Kashif’s niece who out of nowhere began expressing extreme anxiety and inexplicable behavior, and how Kashif used her genetics to unravel why! You won’t believe what the root cause was.

Kashif’s more practical and applicable way of looking at biology and genetics, and why data is dumb unless you know how to interpret it and implement those insights into your life with real action.

If it is possible that just 100 of our 22,000 genes are the ones that manifest chronic disease?

Kashif’s mind-blowing claim that if he has your genetic profile he can tell whether you should be a doctor, lawyer or entrepreneur, and even what kind of entrepreneur you would be most suited to be, and as far as your relationship style and intimacy success.

Why Kashif believes that despite the predictive and diagnostic potential of genes, the genetic paradox still exists, meaning genes are STILL not our destiny and we have the agency to express them into a state of health and thriving.

An incredible fact about why the Finish population sauna so much, but don’t

Dr Dale Bredesen has demonstrated that we have entered into the new era of Alzheimer’s care, and that we are already amongst the horrible disease’s first survivors. He makes an incredibly bold statement that getting Alzheimer’s disease is “truly optional”. Wow! What an incredible message of self-empowerment and hope. We need this episode more than ever to provide the increasing number of people and their families impacted by Alzheimer’s hope and that they can get their mind back and therefore their life back.

Dale E. Bredesen, MD, received his undergraduate degree from Caltech and his medical degree from Duke University. He served as resident and chief resident in neurology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and as postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Professor Stanley Prusiner. He was a faculty member at UCLA from 1989 to 1994, and was then recruited by the Burnham Institute to direct the Program on Aging. In 1998, he became the founding president and CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and adjunct professor at UCSF. In 2013, he returned to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as director of the Easton Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research.

The Bredesen Laboratory studies basic mechanisms underlying the neurodegenerative process and the translation of this knowledge into effective therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, which has led to the publication of over 200 research papers. He is the principal investigator for the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at UCLA. He established the ADDN (Alzheimer’s Drug Development Network) with Dr. Varghese John in 2008, leading to the identification of new classes of therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease. His group has developed a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, the MEND protocol, and this approach has led to the first description of a reversal of symptoms in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer’s disease.

Join us as we explore:The forefront of both Alzheimer’s disease research and treatment, and why most neurologists are stuck in the past and ineffective treatment, including stories from Dr Bredeson’s new book detailing how his approach has already reversed Alzheimer’s disease in his patients.The 7 fundamental pieces of Alzheimer’s prevention and treatment, including treating the vicious prionic loop.

Why everyone over 40 needs to do a “cognoscopy”, and don’t worry it’s a lot more pleasant than a colonoscopy!

Dr Bredeson’s research and experimentally backed theory that neurodegenerative diseases are about a gap between supply and demand in your brain’s network capabilities, and if you can’t reduce the demand how you can increase your brain supply, and how his approach treats the disease at the root which is NOT in the brain itself.

The critically important message of hope that even though your biological systems may get dysfunctional over time, they are incredibly resilient and able to reverse themselves to good health if we implement the fundamental basics of functional and nat

When it comes to getting healthier, diet is everyone’s go to. But I always say, it’s the easiest thing to change but also the hardest. Why? Because changing what you eat is not hard as all the better options are available. In theory. Why it is the hardest is because people get into habits, they are influenced by their environment, they choose convenience and mostly because they are built deep emotional relationships with food. That’s why I brought Nicci onto the show. She understands all of that and much more because she has been through her own pain to purpose journey with food. I also needed someone who works with food and diets every single day to tell everyone out there listening that diet is not about starvation, and if it is, you will never succeed.

Nicci Robertson is the founder of Re~Invent Heath, a nutrition coaching practice in Johannesburg, the cost of the Re~Invent Heath podcast and author of the new book Thrive: Healthy Recipes that Break the Diet Rules. She is a clinical nutritionist, trained in functional nutrition, a master practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming and Psycho-Neuro Immunology. She specializes in executive health management, work life balance strategies, and resilience training.

If you want to eat well but don’t want to give up pleasure, you don’t have to! Get Nicci’s new book here now and discover that good food doesn’t mean boring food: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.co.za/book/thrive-healthy-recipes-break-diet-rules/9781485901525

Join us as we explore:Nicci’s relatable story about food and family, imprinting a relationship with food from her family, being considered overweight at 10 years old (she wasn’t), emotional eating and secret eating.

A rundown of Nicci’s process from blood work to nutritional plans that are customized to your environment, your biomarkers, whether you’re an athlete or not and all with the intention of the client never feeling they are in a deprivation type diet.

A 101 on the major food macros protein, carbohydrates and fat, animal vs plant proteins and how you can lose nearly 200 grams a day of body fat with the most basic macro nutrient switches.

An extensive run down on plant proteins, processed protein and supplements like BCAA and creatine, and the myth of cereals.

How continuous glucose monitors (CGM) are the ultimate accountability partner and expose any of the food untruths and deceptions we tell ourselves.

Why Nicci tells people to come back when they're ready, to come back when it’s too painful.

Why body fat and muscle mass are two of the most accurate measurements when one is assessing overall health.

The world is on fire. And no, not in the climate change way. Biologically. Inflammation is rampant. I have never seen so many people suffering with chronic and raging biological inflammation. The question is why? I have my ideas, but today I brought on an expert in the disorders and diseases that may be causing the inflammation as well as a piece of the puzzle that may be missing called mast cell activation syndrome.

Dr. Tania Dempsey is an expert in chronic disease, autoimmune disorders and mast cell activation syndrome. Dr. Dempsey is sought after internationally for her knowledge of chronic immune dysregulation and has attracted patients from Israel, England, Thailand and France. Dr. Dempsey uses integrative medicine to get to the patient's root cause(s) of their illness. Her purpose is to understand why people get sick and to help patients understand their body and why it fails them when it does.

Join us as we explore:
Stories of desperation to salvation. Dr Dempsey shares her real-life stories of patients who come to her practice in tatters and without hope, and with functional health changes and ancestral wisdom find healthy and hope again.

Mast cell activation syndrome – what it is, where and why it begins, how to treat it including biohacks and how it is affecting far more people than they realize.

A story of perimenopausal success – hormones rebalancing, brain fog gone, breast tenderness gone – treated with a merging of western and eastern approaches.

Why are so many young kids now suffering from every food allergy and intolerance out there!

How the epidemic of omega ratio dysfunction could be at the root of much of the insulin resistance problems and downstream mast cell activation.

The big red flags Dr Dempsey -and myself – are finding in people’s blood work post-covid.

Dr Dempsey’s use of ozone, iodine, hydrogen peroxide and more frontier treatments. Contact:

Recently I was a guest on a local podcast called Stanger Talks with host Noah Stanger. The podcast is about sparking inspiration and fuelling ambition in people by sharing the stories of people who have made successful and significant strides in their fields and what the strategies and mindsets are to get people there. So it was an honour to be asked to be on the show and share my story of becoming South Africa’s Pro Biohacker and Health Futurist. Just us as we explore:The story of my company Made To Thrive, our values, and why we want to empower everyone we can to live a life of superhuman health.

Why less than 15% of people can claim to be in good health despite 90% of your health potential is within your control.

Why I believe purpose is at the root of your chances of living a healthy life.

Whether I believe health statistics are moving in the right or wrong direction, and the difference between healthspan and lifespan.

Why people don’t do what they value, they do what they most value, and sadly what people most value is not their health.

The critical components to health I observe most people are neglecting, and how they directly relate to Made To Thrive’s 7 pillars to optimal health.

Sleep hygiene, your light diet, aerobic vs anaerobic exercise, heart rate zones, supplements, vitamin D, sun cream, fasting, and if you can believe it much much more.

When it comes to health everything matters. But I am starting to sense that at the top of the pyramid may be hormonal health. Hormones are the communication chemicals in our bodies that in effect coordinate the function or dysfunction of the body. So many things we have been guessing are due to age or say “that’s natural” is really about our hormones being in a dysregulated state. The incredible news is there is a lot we can do to keep our hormones happy and healthy for a long time and give ourselves a long healthspan. And that starts with listening to the hormone genius on my show today.

Dr. Kyle Gillett enjoys providing holistic individualized care to his patients. His practice includes preventative medicine, aesthetics, sports medicine, hormone optimization, obstetrics and infertility, integrative medicine, and precision medicine including genomics. He believes that each human is a unique creation that requires attention to their body, mind, and soul to achieve optimal health. He enjoys caring for others using shared decision-making and an evidence-based, patient-centered approach. He is active in Obesity Medicine organizations and firmly believes “food is medicine” and “exercise is medicine”. Dr. Gillett describes the “6 pillars of health”: exercise, diet, sleep, stress, sunlight, and spirit. These are more powerful than any medication or supplement.

Join us as we explore:

Everything hormones! Testosterone, estrogen, androgens, optimal ranges you need to look for on your lab results and more than you have ever heard before about how hormones work and function as the door between disease and health and vitality and lethargy.

Testosterone optimization, why it never starts and stops with pharmaceuticals and the 101 guide to how to optimize testosterone with light, sleep, exercise, diet and the other non-negotiable lifestyle factors.

The role of epigenetics in hormonal health and how mosaicism behaves as the light switch between hormones operating optimally or not.

The natural testosterone supplements that actually work you’ve never heard about.

Why being in a caloric deficit could be ruining your testosterone levels.

Testosterone replacement therapy aka TRT – is it safe, is it forever, what is the latest research saying and why it is so important to work with a hormone expert.

Being a woman brings with it unique health goals and challenges. Add being a mom in this busy world that demands so much of us, things change even more. That is why it is so important to understand not only your unique physiology, but the feminine context. I am seeing too many young girls and women with hormonal problems and the wrong body composition because they are training wrong! That’s why this episode was crucial for me. For all the ladies and families with daughters out there, you have to listen to Dr Jamie.

Dr. Jaime Seeman is a board-certified Obstetrician-Gynecologist with a background in nutrition, exercise and health science. She is also a current fellow in integrative medicine and a board-certified ketogenic nutrition specialist. As a former college athlete, Dr Jaime got away with poor nutrition most of her life, until the ultimate stress test of your health, being pregnancy. She then battled with weight gain, fatigue, lpw thyroid function, hormonal imbalance and pre-diabetes. She however finally found a way to get “fit and fabulous”, and now runs the Hard To Kill Academy, is the host of Fit and Fabulous podcast and is the author of the new book Hard To Kill: Master the Mindset to Maximize Your Years.

Buy the book now: https://www.doctorfitandfabulous.com/book

Join us as we explore:Why the ketogenic diet was what finally tipped the scales for Dr Jamie, taking her from a state of pre-diabetes and overweight to the healthiest she had ever been. The nuances to keto, the research, the lean mass hyper responders and the evolving science of lipid metabolism,

Working out and food! What to eat, when to eat, the power of satiation, priming your pancreas, the most important meal of the day, are those protein shakes good (no!) and getting past “decision fatigue”.Why the number one way to lose fat is not running, not cardio, not dieting. But this!

Why it is critical to “pay yourself first”, and why the number on the scale is not the only thing we need to be worrying about (aka yes, a certain % of body fat is healthy!)

How the 1990s image of feminine beauty has been emotionally and psychologically damaging to women and has created their resistance to doing the necessary weight lifting they need.

The critical importance of finding your happy balance between cardio and strength training as well as overall biological homeostasis.

This episode is a break in regular podcast scheduling. Recently I went onto a local South African health show on the countries biggest satellite TV network called Real Health.

I was honoured and excited to be getting onto a big platform to be able to share my knowledge and experience about biohacking, functional health and behaviour change to an audience who have never heard most of those terms before.

This is a great episode for anybody wanting to tip their toe into the waters of biohacking and personal health accountability. We look at what biohacking is, some of my favorite devices and tools, and analyse the sobering reality of the state of chronic disease.

Join us as we explore:

Biohacking - what it is and why I believe it will play far more central of a role in the future of health than you may believe.

The role of personal responsibility and accountability in the medicine 3.0 paradigm, but also why a resource like a health coach can make that journey much easier and more successful.

Some of my favorite biohacking tools.

There are few of us out there who stand their ground and speak the truth as strongly and bravely as Dr Jack Wolfson. He is now the guest I have had the most times on my show, and there is a reason.

The man has an encyclopedic knowledge of cardiac health and holistic medicine, and walks the walk when it comes to his Live Well, Eat Well and Think Well tenant. I always love talking to him and yet again I learnt so much during our hour together.

Jack Wolfson is a board-certified cardiologist and a fellow of the American College of Cardiology. Dr Wolfson has emerged as one of the world’s leading holistic natural cardiologists, working out of Wolfson Integrative Cardiology.

As a trusted leader in heart health and natural heart health, Dr. Jack has taught more than 10,000 physicians his natural heart health best practices.

His book, The Paleo Cardiologist: The Natural Way to Heart Health, was an Amazon # 1 best seller. He is an in-demand lecturer about natural healthy living without Big Pharma pills and invasive procedures.

Join us as we explore:

Why are there so many heart attacks, heart arrhythmia, heart failure, myocarditis and pericarditis around the world right now, including in young people traditionally without any cardiac risk.

Dr Wolfson unpacks his Live Well, Eat Well and Think Well tenants, as well as Test Don’t Guess, something I love as I encourage everyone to audit their health with objective data as much as possible.

Comparing my IV infusion knowledge and experience with Dr Jack’s. What are the strategies to kick-start a sluggish body, what are the non-negotiables and which protocols or trendy molecules have had less success than expected (NAD!).

Why the sun matters so much. Why it is literally life giving. how our skin is literally solar panels and why any photobiomodulation, natural or “biohacked”, has a major effect on cardiac conditions.

The lymphatic system – how it works and why so many people are blocked up and why addressing it is a major blind-spot in traditional medical treatment.

Why we need to sweat! How to use the sauna optimally with pre, during and post sauna routines such as binders, technology and even why books and magazines are something to avoid!

Amazing insight into the most dangerous risk factor everyone is under appreciating as well as cholesterol, hemoglobin, ferritin, fibrinogen, copper and more about what your blood is telling you about the biological state of your body.

One in two men will get cancer. One in three women too. These statistics are as staggering and shocking as any I have ever heard. And yet everyone just continues to live their life as if those statistics don’t relate to them.

I cannot understand it. That’s why I wanted a cancer expert on my show to unpack what this horrendous disease is and how we can take proactive action to prevent it and not become another tragic statistic.

Chadi Nabhan, MD, MBA, is an award-winning hematologist and a medical oncologist who previously hosted an award-winning podcast, Outspoken Oncology, which has now been rebranded to Healthcare Unfiltered – an honest, raw, timely podcast tackling any and all topics in healthcare.

No edits and no filters; that is “Healthcare Unfiltered.” Combining his background in clinical care, cancer research, precision medicine, genomics, clinical trials, real-world data, controversies in medicine, and health care advocacy, Dr Nabhan brings a unique and powerful perspective to current medical events and is the author of “Toxic Exposure”.

Join us as we explore:

Everything cancer. What is cancer actually?! Why one type of cancer is very different to another. If cancer is genetic or more importantly hereditary? And if we have improved our ability to cure cancer since the war on cancer began in 1971?

Dr Nabhan’s key role in the cases against Monsanto and the nearly $11 BILLION they have paid to settle cases for the number one pesticide/herbicide in the world glyphosate and its proven carcinogenic effect.

What are the most scientifically backed evidence on how to decrease our risks of getting cancer, and what are our best strategies to get proactive and prevent cancer. (including impressive data regarding intermittent fasting)

The frightening link between metabolic disorders like obesity and at least 14 types of cancer risks, and whether cancer is perhaps actually at its root a metabolic disease.

The evolution of cancer care to precision oncology, and why that may be the hope we need in the apocalyptic rise of cancer.

How your blood can be a warning sign to possible cancer in the future, and why doing regular blood auditing can save your life.

If there’s one physician I listen and trust it’s Dr David Brownstein. I have followed his guidance and introduced protocols into my own practice like hydrogen peroxide to game-changing effect.

So I wanted to talk to him again a year later and discuss where his thinking is and what novel ideas and therapies he is working with now that could again make a game-changing effect in my life and my work.

Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., is a board-certified family physician who utilizes the best of conventional and alternative therapies. He is the Medical Director for the Center for Holistic Medicine in West Bloomfield, Michigan. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and Wayne State University School of Medicine.

Dr. Brownstein is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and serves on the board for the International College of Integrative Medicine.

Dr. Brownstein has lectured internationally about his success using natural therapies. He has also authored sixteen books including Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It, and his newest book A Holistic Approach to Viruses.

Join us as we explore:

What unique lessons Dr Brownstein has learnt over the past 3 years about the immune system, including the need to move as well as keeping sweets in the cupboard.

Fibrinogen - what it is and why we need to pay more attention to it.

The big problem with ocean derived supplements and products, and why there is less of what we need and more of what we don’t want!

The biological mechanism of iodine, and why we need more than ever yet there is less than ever in nature.

Ferritin, iron, zinc and copper – Dr Brownstein’s view on ferritin and iron, the relationship between iron, zinc and copper, what are healthy levels and why birth control is an unknown part of the biological copper crisis.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s presidential candidacy.

I’ve now recorded over 150 episodes of The Made To Thrive show, and still there are episodes that blow my mind and make me rethink so much of what I believed was true. This is one of those episodes!

Morley Robbins explodes so many myths about minerals like copper and iron, but does so in the spirit of healing and truth telling so that we can move closer to the truth about our health and our bodies. If you ever thought you had an iron deficiency, you cannot miss this conversation.

Morley’s understanding of ferritin, the connection to uric acid and why iron supplementation is the wrong approach to managing iron levels.

Another scary connection to glyphosate, it’s role in copper deficiency both in our bodies and in the soil of the earth and therefore what we eat.

Why all disease starts with cellular energy deficiency, or the suppression of mitochondria and why energy is what drives effectively everything biologically.

Dr Levy is back on the show and we are talking about everything viral, COVID, spike protein and what he is doing to treat the downstream effect of these issues. I respect Dr Levy so much, so it was a privilege to get his insight and expertise on unique protocols like methylene blue.

Dr Thomas (Tom) E. Levy is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney. After practicing adult cardiology for 15 years, he began to research the enormous toxicity associated with dental work, as well as the pronounced ability of properly administered vitamin C to neutralize this toxicity.

He has now written 13 books, with several addressing the wide-ranging properties of vitamin C in neutralizing all toxins and resolving most infections, as well as its vital role in the effective treatment of heart disease and cancer.

Recently inducted into the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame, Dr Levy continues to research the impact of the orthomolecular application of vitamin C and antioxidants in general on chronic degenerative diseases.

His ongoing research involves documenting that all diseases are different forms and degrees of focal scurvy, arising from increased oxidative stress, especially intracellularly and that they all benefit from protocols that optimize the antioxidant levels in the body.

Join us as we explore:

Chronic viral infections, chronic COVID, persistent spike protein (PSP) syndrome, myocarditis – an unfolding disaster, warning signs, treatment options and Dr Levy’s viral clearing protocol.

Methylene blue – what it is, why it works, what it works for and how the oldest synthesized drug ever made is a gamechanger for patients struggling with chronic issues.

Why “antioxidants = good, and pro-oxidants = bad”, is not as simple as we used to believe.

A nebulizing masterclass – hydrogen peroxide, concentrations, methylene blue, and more.

The complication of ferritin – what are the healthy levels and how it is affected by COVID.

The future of mental health care is here. And thank God, because the epidemic of depression, trauma and anxiety is out of control. The use of psychiatric medication like SSRIs is so pervasive people think that’s the only option, but someone like Dr Sean Thornley is proving there is an alternative with his use of ketamine infusions.

A part of the psychedelic revolution, believe you me, it won’t be long before it is normal conversation to hear about your friends and family using ketamine to offer them the opportunity to heal pain and trauma, and find joy and purpose again in their lives.

Sean Thornley is a Medical Doctor, General Practitioner and Anaesthetist. He graduated from the University of Pretoria in 2012 with a diploma in anaesthesia. He completed his internship at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town in 2013 and 2014 before moving to Tambo Memorial Hospital in the East Rand for Community Service where he completed a diploma in anaesthesia.

Dr Sean then moved to private general practice in 2017, and has a passion for treating all general ailments with particular focus on preventative medicine, metabolic disease and mental health. He believes in trying to find the cause of the problem as opposed to simply treating the symptoms and adopts a holistic patient-centered approach to family practice. He is a ketamine practitioner and have a keen interest in psychedelic assisted therapy for mental health disorders.

Join us as we explore:

Everything about ketamine – what it is, its history, what the experience is like, why it is not a silver bullet, potential risks and how it is being used in modern mental health care.

How Dr Thornley went from pain to purpose himself, using ketamine to turn around the depression and anxiety that had plagued him for years.

Dr Thornley’s success with treating medical resistance depression, suicidal ideation and chronic anxiety, including in teens and younger as well as older people suffering from cognitive decline.

The powerful theory of transgenerational trauma and cellular memory, proven already a decade ago by the smell of cherry blossoms.

A comparison between ketamine infusion therapy and classic psychiatric medication or benzodiazepines, and ketamine’s place in the current psychedelic renaissance.

A holistic round down of functional and integrative health and why Dr Thornley sees the norms of socializing and medicalizing drugs changing.

So much of our lives happen in the mind. Some neuroscientists will argue all of it is happening in the mind. But without question, so much of life is about your mindset. How we manage stress, disease, failure, challenges and hurdles, those are all about our mindset.

That is why I brought on gold medalist and mindset master Laura Wilkinson, who won medals in every competition she ever qualified for and decided to go for another Olympic gold at the age of 39.

Laura Wilkinson is an Olympian diver who holds a rare honor of having won an individual gold medal at every major international meet for which she was eligible.

A specialist on the platform, Wilkinson attended the University of Texas where she was NCAA Champion in 1997 and 1999, won the 1998 Goodwill Games, won her first Olympic gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Games and has since won medals at World Cups (2004) and World Championships (2005) as well as competed in two other Olympic games (2004, 2008).

She is an inductee in the Swimming Hall of Fame, a 19-time US champion and returned from retirement at age 39 with the aim to compete at Tokyo 2020.

A combination of the COVID pandemic delay and serious neck surgery meant that never happened but it motivated Laura to take her coaching to a new level by creating the online course Confident Competitor, with the goal of helping athletes eliminate performance anxiety.

Join us as we explore:

What it means to have a champion’s mindset whether you are a gold medal Olympian or a 15-year-old Laura who was told she started too late and her diving would never amount to anything.

What it means to be anti-fragile, resilient and develop grit by developing the mindset that our most painful setbacks and defeats can become our greatest strengths and lessons.

The power of mentorship, finding inspiration from others, their stories, and their struggles.

Why goals can be “unrealistic” but why it is also okay not to accomplish them, how to overcome fear, the power of self-talk, the importance of flexibility and adaptability, and why flow state is not something magical that just happens but must be trained and prepared for.

How to approach athleticism and performance as you begin to mature in age.

After doing this podcast I realised there is one huge thing people are not taking ownership of but absolutely should be – air quality. Think about it, we worry about our diet, but only eat a few times a day.

We worry about exercising, but that’s maybe an hour a day. But we breathe every second of every day, and what if what we are breathing is full of aggravating and inflammatory toxins?!

Dr. Jill and I enjoyed our recent podcast so much we decided to do it again! But this time I was on her show, and we went deeper into my life and my health journey.

Join us as we explore:

The future of health, what makes us more resilient, how we can approach the health care system with a new lens and what it takes to create sustainable transformation.

My journey from “Bubbles” to Steve Stavs, the relationship between food and reward/celebration, and how I was an early adopter of biohacking and how that’s led me to where I am today.

Biohacking, what it is, why it’s not only about the numbers and why everyone is actually a biohacker!

Made To Thrive, my mission, why you should ask yourself if you can articulate your unique purpose in life and why you should think about what people are going to say at your funeral.

The flow state, what makes it so critical to health, my distraction notebook and why so much of flow state is actually linked to your biological health not only the activity you are doing.

My unique approach to diet, and why it is about much much more than what you eat!

The number one biohacking device I believe is being ignored despite the fact it would make the biggest difference in people’s lives.

Dr. Molly makes health fun and relatable. Especially for women. I believe this episode is so important because I have never seen so many women struggling with burnout, energy levels, menstrual issues and iron deficiency.

Dr. Molly has tackled those issues in her own journey from pain to purpose, and now has written the first book that covers everything women need to know to biohack themselves back to superhuman health and rediscover the spark of life. Dr Molly Maloof is a physician entrepreneur on a mission to radically extend healthspan, maximise human potential, and redefine health care using medicine, technology, education, & media.

She works as a medical advisor for a cohort of organizations and companies, as well as working as a consultant, concierge physician, lecturer at Stanford University as well as a founder of several companies including Adamo Bioscience and Adaptive.

She has also featured extensively in media, and is now the author of her new book “The Spark Factor: The First Guide to Biohacking for Women – The Secret to Supercharging Energy, Becoming Resilient and Feeling Better Than Ever”.

Get it now: https://drmolly.co/the-spark-factor-dr-molly-maloof/

Join us as we explore:

Dr Molly’s perspective on women’s burnout as a function of overwhelm, a sense of having insufficient resources for all their roles and responsibilities and a feeling of disconnect from a purpose or mission.

Her spiritual awakening, how that has influenced and impacted her work and why she not places critical importance on psychosocial health.

The interplay between the menstrual cycle, mitochondria, energy, and exercise, and why linking your exercise to the timing of your cycle can lead to both better performance and less injuries.

Why Dr Molly is specifically focusing on iron, ferritin storage and why so many women are deficient.

The biohacking tools and resources she most relies upon personally and what has most moved the needle for her female clientele, including cold plunges, sauna, CGM, OURA and much more – and why one needs to understand when to use one and when NOT to use one.

How biohacking devices can show you the warning signs of pre-diabetes because “what you can measure you can modify”, and why CGM is NOT just for people with diabetes!!!

Why your insulin or glucose levels are a bioproduct of your mitochondrial function, and why if you are either “good” or “bad” at it should determine your carbohydrate consumption.

This episode has been years in the making! I have been fascinated by nootropics for a long time, but was waiting for the right person to unpack these master mind molecules. That’s why it was a pleasure having Mark or Mr Noots on the show.

He is a wealth of nootropic expertise but also has a beautiful message of hope of why nootropics can help all of us see a brighter light at the end of the tunnel.

Mark Effinger aka “Mr Noots” is the formulator, cofounder & CPO of Nootopia.com. The painful death of his wife from painkillers put him on a path to creating high-performance experiential nutritional supplements, initially with those suffering from substance abuse.

Mr Noots has been a serial entrepreneur, being involved in angel investing and venture capital and most recently merged his company with Bio-Optimizers to create Nootopia.com.

Join us as we explore:

A masterclass in nootropics – what they are, their role in neurogenesis, neural state change, avoiding cognitive fatigue, creating nitric oxide and improving your brain health and mental performance.

Mr Noots’ painful back story that inspired his quest to understand how nootropics change brain and physiological states, and how that quest helped people find healing from as complicated and debilitating a disease as lupus.

How to correctly and safely create a nootropic stack – from basic assessments to bespoke, precision nootropic formulation.

The 8 main neurotransmitters- including dopamine, serotonin and gaba - and the effects of each being too high or too low, and how these levels are reflected in real life with unique physical, mental, emotional and social strengths and weakness.

The effect of lifestyle and behavioral interventions to build the neurohighways in your brain, and how nootropics become super tools to take your performance to a superhuman hyper effectiveness.

Over the last three years, Zach Bush has stepped forward as a warrior spirit. I had the good fortune of meeting him in person last year as he embarked on a new chapter of his journey here in South Africa, and have looked forward to sitting down with him ever since.

Zach is a unique figure who senses and translates the interconnectedness and multi-dimensional reality of life. This is a poignant episode but one I pray will open minds and change hearts.

Zach Bush MD is a physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology and hospice care. He is an internationally recognized educator and thought leader on the microbiome as it relates to health, disease, and food systems. Dr Zach founded *Seraphic Group and the non-profit Farmer’s Footprint to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health.

His passion for education reaches across many disciplines, including topics such as the role of soil and water ecosystems in human genomics, immunity, and gut/brain health. His education has highlighted the need for a radical departure from chemical farming and pharmacy, and his ongoing efforts are providing a path for consumers, farmers, and mega-industries to work together for a healthy future for people and planet.

Join us as we explore:

Steve’s emotional personally story about fear and the mirroring of that transformative brush with cancer with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Zach’s incredible interpretation of cancer, viruses, mental health and what he believes is the root cause of every and all disease. (and no, it is not genetics!)

The interconnectedness of separation, nature, water systems, carbon cycles and the explosion of pediatric cancer in a mere two decades, the human microbiome, human disease and human health.

Zach’s dire warning that the convergence of infertility, chronic disease and accelerated aging puts the future of the human race at immediate risk BUT how we humans have the sovereignty and ability to change course and re-find ourselves.

Why the future of humanity and biodiversity is seated in Africa, regenerative farming and natural processes, and what Zach has learnt over the last few years visiting and living with indigenous people around the world.

Practical steps everyone can take to break the mindset of scarcity and believe in the abundance of our birthright and emergent spirit of nature and why it all will begin with the farmer’s footprint.

Why don’t people heal? That’s the question that is at the heart of Greg’s incredible work. We often focus on the physical part of health through nutrition, movement or sleep but what about our internal world? Our emotions? Our pains and trauma? This is the world I explored with Greg today and it was a beautiful conversation I am deeply grateful for.

If you are feeling as inspired as I was after this show and want to take control of your mental and emotional health Greg is offering his unique program for 20% off using the code “podcast20”

Greg Schmaus is the CEO of Healing 4D, a Holistic Health Practitioner, Shamanic Energy Healer, and Massage Therapist. He is the creator of “Healing The Mind,” a 21 day holistic mental health program. Through his online programs and personal client coaching, Greg guides students and clients towards higher awareness, empowerment, and freedom in their lives through authentic lifestyle practices.

Over the past decade, Greg has coached countless clients with various physical and mental health challenges by integrating the lessons of many of his great teachers and mentors, including Paul Chek and Alberto Villoldo. Greg believes that we are all on a unique healing journey that paves the way back home to wholeness.

Greg’s personal journey healing from various physical and mental health challenges is the foundation of each one of his coaching programs.

Join us as we explore:

Greg’s unique Healing The Mind 21 day journey and why it begins with the basics before it gets into the deep waters of non-violent communication, EFT, polarities, archetypes and IFS.

Why you are feeling like your just surviving, why the world’s collective nervous system is under chronic strain and overstimulation and how this is the foundation of the collective stress, mental health and physical health crisis we are all feeling.

The four survival archetypes, why they are not always necessarily “bad”, and why awareness and then relationship with archetypes is how we transmute them to thriving.

Why internal family systems (IFS) has become a popular and powerful healing modality.

The loss of connection, our avoidance and distraction environment and why chronic inflammation in the body is the epidemic that is not nearly discussed enough.

Emotional health, why it cannot be separated from mental health, bad vs good emotions, using thinking to avoid feeling and when we suppress emotions it simply shifts itself to the mind.

The way to reframe crises, where or when emotions stem from and how emotions are tied to belief systems.

Dr Magan is a serious doctor who understands the limitations of his profession, and the need to balance the science of medicine and the art of medicine. Understanding that medicine should be about making an individual functionable in their day-to-day life, he wants to expand the myopic lens of standard medicine and encourage people to make things simpler and look for environmental changes before popping a pill.

Dr Alkesh Magan is a healthcare practitioner specialising as an endocrinologist for a decade in Bryanston, Sandton, South Africa.

Join us as we explore:

Everything you need to know about vitamin D, optimal levels, if you can take too much, what to do with the kids and how Africa is on the cusp of a convergence of vitamin d deficiency, obesity and diabetes.

Why the concept that the absence of disease is health is NOT correct and needs to be revised as we are seeing a world increasingly overwhelmed with disease and illness.

The danger of excess information and medical testing, the power of the placebo, how there is a price to pay for every pharmaceutical you take and why it’s critical to safe guard against orthorexia.

Why it is clear that the excess amount and types of diseases that have exploded in the past 80 years is a consequence of our environments and lifestyles aka epigenetics NOT genetics!

Precocious puberty, xenoestrogens and why the goal has to be to avoid and limit exposure to environmental hormonal toxins.

Holistic advice on supplements for both adults and children, why absorbing vitamins is not the same as activating and methylating, the critical importance of dosage and why it is not always the best first step to start taking supplements.

The absolute necessity of health coaches in this environmentally challenging world and why we have to also leverage the power of health technology like CGM.

Why BEAR matters to stress, why it’s so important to separate stress from distress and how mental health can move away from diagnosis to deconstructing them into three key measurable and manageable components.

Farmers are the unsung heroes of our world. For too long, their work has been hidden in the shadows and even looked down upon. That’s why going down to a special place and meeting a special man in Farmer Angus was so important to me.

He is a shinning beacon of hope, and someone everyone, not just farmers, can draw inspiration from.

Angus McIntosh is Farmer Angus. He grew up on a cattle ranch in Kwa-Zulu Natal, studied Management Accounting at Stellenbosch University became a stockbroker for Goldman Sachs in London but after four years left his job and moved back to South Africa.

A chance reading of a book brought Joel Salatin, a recebt Made To Thrive show guest, into Angus’ life and put him on the road to become a regenerative farmer and carbon sequestrator.

Farmer Angus is one of two grass fed, pasture-reared beef producers in the Western Cape. Biodynamic and regenerative agricultural principles and practices are applied in the raising of the farm’s animals which includes cattle, pigs and laying hens, as well as vegetables and wine. Situated on 126 hectares of irrigated pasture at Spier Wine Estate near Stellenbosch.

All Farmer Angus products are also 100% growth-hormone free, routine antibiotic free and the pig and chicken food is glyphosate free.

Join us as we explore:
Farmer Angus’s journey from trading equity at Goldman Sachs to becoming a pioneering regenerative farmer, and how that journey involved more un-learning than learning.

Why it’s not the cow it’s the how, why wheat is not the real problem with food intolerances, the fraud of lab-grown meat and a meat-free future, why indigenous wisdom holds value and more myths Farmer Angus busts.

The difference between organic, permaculture and regenerative agriculture.

The good, the bad and the tragic of the vegan movement, and why animals are irreplaceable to carbon sequestration, health soils and a healthy Earth.

Why we are all farmers by proxy, and why farms like Angus’ are the cure to the Earth’s environmental woes.

How to get your home food system started! Start just with a pot plant or two!

The real history, spirit and meaning of community, and busting the myth of modernity increasing human beings's lifespans. (Yes, that’s a total myth!)

A few weeks ago, I was on Nicci’s podcast talking about health, life, nutrition and biohacking. It was a broad but beneficial conversation for anybody who is taking their first steps towards taking responsibility for their health.

Nicci Robertson is a clinical nutritionist and the owner at Re-Invent Health and Integrative Health Sciences. She believes everyone is unique and has different gene expression, health issues, stress levels, activity levels, life circumstances, and goals.

That’s why people find dietary advice to be confusing and contradictory. And while there’s no such thing as one optimal human diet, Nicci believes in basic rules and systems to follow in order to thrive.

Join us as we explore:
What it means to thrive and not just survive?

Why I believe I am seeing so much chronic fatigue, apathy and a lack of inspiration, and why my mission is to change TGIF to TGIM.

The collaborative practice model, the critical role of health coaches and why the collaborative model is the future.

Why if your doctor does not ask about your sleep, stress, nutrition and exercise, please, find another doctor.

How to see through the myths perpetuated by Big Pharma, Big Food, Big Agriculture and any Big Business.

The dangers of toxic living. From our water, to the products we apply to our skin, including sunscreen!

Preventative medicine and the role of biohacking in the future of medicine.

Wow! This episode is truly mind-blowing. Dr Porter’s genius and knowledge about the brain and brain health is unparalleled. Patrick K. Porter, PhD is the creator of BrainTap®, a global leading company in brain fitness.

Prior to founding BrainTap, Patrick dedicated his life to studying neuropsychology, and eventually arrived to the conclusion that once established “facts” like there is a set number of brain cells, that intelligence quotient is fixed and that our brains do not change are in fact not true.

Patrick’s clinical experience and research rather revealed that the human brain is, in fact, plastic, making it capable of change, improvement, and expansion. He and BrainTap has since worked with heads of state to athletic superstars, educators, executives, founders, and everyday people wanting to be at their best.

Join us as we explore:

Stories of BrainTap success from stopping babies crying, to MMA fighters envisioning success and Olympic athletes reaching new heights.

How BrainTap’s recovery technology is capable of amazing health optimization. From treating undiagnosed traumatic brain injuries to healing adrenal fatigue and even liver and pancreas dysfunction.

The power of BrainTap in the fight against auto-immune disease with “soul tech”.

Each state of brain waves, why one is no better than the other – we need them all! –, the connection between DMT and theta waves and the danger of “neurological lock”.

Why Dr Porter has only measured three people ever who beat the power of BrainTap’s!

How one night of good, high quality deep sleep is worth 30,000 dollars of serotonin.

The fact that the brain is so powerful Dr Porter trained himself to turn off pain and do surgery without anesthetics!

Dr Porter’s daily routine including using BrainTap three times a day

I don’t think I’ve ever had someone like Ari on the show before. He is someone who has literally been in the rooms that have created the future we are living in today. Including why we all want to walk 10,000 steps!

Ari Tulla is the co-founder of Elo, a company that takes optimizing wellness and nutrition to the next level.

From the Finnish word for “life” or “happiness”, Elo is a quick, at-home blood test that is then used to build a precise micronutrient plan for each person’s unique needs. It is a pioneering solution in the smart-nutrition space, and something Ari has been working on for over 20 years.

Ari is an entrepreneur, dad, wannabe surfer and avid rock climber living in San Francisco. He focuses on solving problems that help people live better lives, like he has done with Elo.

Join us as we explore:

The dire situation of lifespan and healthspan, where national populations are getting chronically ill at drastic rates and 20-30 years earlier than their parents.

What Elo is, how it was designed, how it is evolving with technology and science and how its most powerful impact will be as a “game” that makes you feel good and healthier.

Why building trust and accountability is Elo’s most important step and how they do it.

Ari’s unique journey and “why” that led him to starting not just Elo but investing in a host of health-related companies.

How to use the OURA, and a sleep related rule Ari hasn’t broken in 7 years!!!

Ari’s perspective on health coaches, future AI centered medicine, CGMs and movement (not exercise!)

A special message of hope from someone who has been part of creating the future for the past 30 years.

It’s been a year since Jon Levy was on the show, and a lot has happened in the world as well as in Jon’s life since. I’m so happy to have him back because we authentically connect and have fun doing it.

Jon Levy is a behavioral scientist best known for his work in influence, human connection, and decision making. Jon specializes in applying the latest research to transform the ways companies approach marketing, sales, consumer engagement, and culture. His clients range from Fortune 500 brands, like Microsoft, Google, AB-InBev, and Samsung, to startups.

More than a decade ago, Jon founded The Influencers Dinner, a secret dining experience for industry leaders ranging from Nobel laureates, Olympians, celebrities, and executives, to artists, musicians, and even the Grammy winning voice of the bark from “Who Let the Dogs Out.”

Guests cook dinner together, but can’t discuss their career or give their last name, and once seated to eat, they reveal who they are. Over time, these dinners developed into a community.

With thousands of members, Influencers is the largest community of its type worldwide. This project became the basis of his NYT best-selling book “You’re Invited: The Art and Science of Cultivating Influence”.

Join us as we explore:

What Jon learnt about connection from his recently deceased father, a true influencer and connector himself.

The critical role of anti-fragility in the human social species, and how that skill has atrophied decade by decade since the 1950s.

Why America lost a third of its social ties in less than 10 years!

How to upskill socially the young generations and help them create deeper bonds.

If Jon can alleviate my concern that people are not valuing their communities and kindness as a value.

The Friendship Formula, the Fudge Factor and why wealth is not compatible with social bonds!

The tradeoff between being part of larger society and the sense of belonging in true community.

How a book about an alpha wolf got it all wrong about leadership and being the boss.

Dr Ian Weinberg is a consultant neurosurgeon who since the early 90s pioneered the application of psychoneuro-immunology (PNI) which is the scientific study of the influences of mind states on immune function.

Dr Weinberg then developed the Triangles Model in 2006, which identified three archetypes, with each archetype consisting of a determining nurture deprivation heritage, inherent processing traits, values, needs and drives as well as a chemical configuration.

Following his exposure to the philosophy and practice of Buddhism in 2008, Ian incorporated many of the fundamental Buddhist principles into his application. In effect he has merged timeless Buddhist wisdom with modern neuroscience and used this powerful integration to enhance wellness and performance.

The application is used in the clinical, corporate and personal domains in the form of courses and personalized consultations. His passion is the enhancement of wellness and performance by shifting mind states from a place of destructive emotions to one of integration and gratification.

Join us as we explore:

Dr Weinberg’s pioneering of applied psychoneuro-immunology (PNI) in the 1990s and why it’s founded in the phenomenon we call consciousness.

The TMA – Triangle Model Application, the three archetypes and Dr Weinberg’s honest telling of seemingly miraculous successes as well as painful losses.

Why Dr Weinberg’s work is acknowledged but not accepted by dogmatic, myopic thinking.

The power of epigenetics, and how even emotions can change generational DNA expression.

Why Dr Weinberg worries less about nurture versus nature and more about chronic inflammation.

Dr Weinberg’s personal witnessing of the connection between fear and acute COVID outcomes.

A truly powerful and wise message of hope that is worth waiting till the end for!

Join us today as I chat again with Brian and Christal from SaunaSpace, still my number one overall biohack and certainly one of our favorite partners. This episode is a little different. Instead of a detailed unpacking of SaunaSpace’s incredible product, which we did on our first InstagramLive on episode 81, we hit a broad range of topics from C-19, to EMF, airplane travel to Jordan Peterson.

Get 10% OFF HERE: https://madetothrive.co.za/special-deals/saunaspace/

SaunaSpace’s near-infrared (NIR) saunas are a non-invasive way to kickstart your body’s most beneficial processes. This happens in two ways: light therapy (phototherapy) and heat therapy (sauna). Unlike the traditional methods, NIR light works with your body’s biology to create radiant heat—from the inside out. By using near infrared’s shorter wavelengths in a way that mimics natural sunlight, the light penetrates deeply to raise your core temperature faster. That increase in temperature makes you sweat, but it also triggers the natural detoxification response.

Join us as we explore:

The idea of what I call ikigai i.e. purpose and community

The influence of EMF and how SaunaSpace is amazing at mitigating

The surprising and scary connection between cellphones and fillings

Handy tips to minimize EMF from cellphones and other gadgets

Steve Stavs chats with Brian and Christal from SaunaSpace in this fun yet highly informative Instagram Live. SaunaSpace’s saunas are a non-invasive way to kickstart your body’s most beneficial processes. This happens in two ways: light therapy (phototherapy) and heat therapy (sauna).

They're Steve Stavs number one overall biohack and one of our favourite partners. Get 10% OFF HERE: https://madetothrive.co.za/special-deals/saunaspace/

Unlike the traditional methods, near-infrared (NIR) light works with your body’s biology to create radiant heat—from the inside out. By using near infrared’s shorter wavelengths in a way that mimics natural sunlight, the light penetrates deeply to raise your core temperature faster.

The near-infrared light in their saunas creates radiant heat that raises the core body temperature by three degrees. That increase in temperature makes you sweat, but it also triggers the natural detoxification response. However, SaunaSpace’s focus is on near-infrared and is more comfortable.

Nick Hudson is an actuary with broad international experience in finance, who has settled into a career as a private equity investor. He is a man of wide-ranging interests—an avid reader of canonical literature, a classical music aficionado, and an enthusiastic amateur ornithologist. He has been invited to speak on various topics including epistemology, corporate governance, investment management, and more recently, the Covid 19 pandemic.
Nick is the founder and chairman of Pandemics Data and Analytics (PANDA), a South African organization founded in April 2020 with the mission of promoting open science, human agency, and courageous societies. However, in just that short period of time, the organization now has members from more than 30 countries. They aim to empower the public with accurate information thereby enabling individuals to exercise freedom of choice and preserve human liberties and free societies, which are at more threat now than at anytime since World War II. PANDA is composed of a group of multi-disciplinary professionals who perceived the global reaction to Covid, and lockdown in particular, as overwrought and damaging to the point of causing a great tear in the fabric of society. They are politically and economically independent, and seek to develop science-based explanations and test them against international data that can then be used as a proven foundation for recommendations to governments and other institutions to develop actual science-based policy.
PANDA stands for open science and rational debate, for replacing flawed science with good science and for retrieving liberty and prosperity from the clutches of a dystopian “new normal”.

Join us as we explore:
How Nick could no longer stay quiet knowing about the deception around the Covid 19 pandemic
Why there is so much common ground between people of varying political views when it comes to the existential threat of the pandemic response
How the pandemic response facilitated the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of the world
The capture of government, academic and media by corporate forces
How the “science” being reported in the media is corrupted and censored
Why lockdowns don’t work, haven’t worked and will never work
The politicization of everything and why
The wrongheadedness of mass vaccination, PCR tests, lockdowns, masks
If people with natural immunity from prior infection should get vaccinated
How this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated is pure propaganda
Why variants are likely to be the reason for the variant acceleration
What you can do right now to unplug from the COVID narrative
What the true evil is now, and no it’s not COVID19
Nick’s message for everyone – it’s time for courage
Is there hope for the future of science and public institutions?

Dr. Cory is a KAATSU advocate. He’s in his mid-30s, married, has a couple of kids, a couple of dogs and because he chose to put his family first, his exercise and training suffered. Then he found KAATSU and was able to sustain his physical and training goals in a fraction of the time. He was so amazed with the system but couldn’t believe there was no downside. So he travelled to Japan to meet the inventor, Dr. Sato, and he found out the only sacrifice one makes by using KAATSU is that the more KAATSU one has, the less medication one takes.

Today Dr. Cory shares with us absolutely everything KAATSU and how to integrate it into every possible workout you could think of. This episode is an incredible resource of how to use exercise and KAATSU together for every possible health goal and every possible person.

Dr. Cory Keirn, DPT, OCS, CSCS, TSAC-F, XPS is a Doctor of Physical Therapy located in Tampa, Florida. He is a former Strength & Conditioning Coach with the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and the Philadelphia Phillies, a Major League Baseball professional team. He did his residency in orthopaedics with a focus on complex orthopaedic cases and advanced physical therapy integration for tactical athletes.

Dr Thomas (Tom) E. Levy is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney. After practicing adult cardiology for 15 years, he began to research the enormous toxicity associated with much dental work, as well as the pronounced ability of properly administered vitamin C to neutralize this toxicity.

He has now written 13 books, with several addressing the wide-ranging properties of vitamin C in neutralizing all toxins and resolving most infections, as well as its vital role in the effective treatment of heart disease and cancer. Others address the important roles of dental toxicity and nutrition in disease and health.

Recently inducted into the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame, Dr Levy continues to research the impact of the orthomolecular application of vitamin C and antioxidants in general on chronic degenerative diseases. His ongoing research involves documenting that all diseases are different forms and degrees of focal scurvy, arising from increased oxidative stress, especially intracellularly and that they all benefit from protocols that optimize the antioxidant levels in the body.

He regularly gives lectures on this information at medical conferences around the world. Two of his most recent books, Hidden Epidemic and most recently Rapid Virus Recovery, are two books I highly recommend. You can download a free copy of these titles by clicking on the book name and filling in the form.

Made To Thrive is on a mission to bring the healthcare revolution of coaching to clients here in South Africa as well as anyone anywhere around the world. So today on the Made To Thrive show we changed the focus from outside guests to inside the Made To Thrive circle with a roundtable discussion between your host Steve Stavs and health coaches Ricky Schoch and Kim Anderssen.

It is a deep dive into the how, what, why and who’s of health coaching from people who are not only coaches but have also during their journeys been coached themselves.

Enrique (Ricky) Schoch da Silva, aka The Human Coach, is an ADAPT Certified Functional Health Coach who walks the walk as well as talks the talk when it comes to everything and anything in the world of health and wellness. His mission is to be of service to all those questing for wellbeing by re-discovering, re-igniting and empowering their inner human, hero and healer.

Ricky believes the revival and resurgence of anyone’s health and wellbeing is in the rediscovery of their innate humanness, in reconnecting with their truest Self and creating a life of intention and purpose. His work is in co-discovering, co-exploring and co-creating a journey of real and sustainable lifestyle and behavioural change that empowers anyone to live a strong, meaningful, health and happy human life.

Kim Anderssen is a mom, coach, and mediator as well as natural health and toxin-free living advocate. I understand that our bodies, given the right tools, know exactly how to take care of themselves. She is passionate about helping people make choices that aid their bodies’ overall wellbeing.

Together, we work to identify any unconscious habits that result in strain on the body’s ability to be well. Kim embodies this narrative: “I’m here to help you make better choices. And once you know better, you do better.” Without judgment because she’s been there. She wants to help people live their best life with optimal health.

Jon Levy is a behavioral scientist best known for his work in influence, human connection, and decision making. Jon specializes in applying the latest research to transform the ways companies approach marketing, sales, consumer engagement, and culture. His clients range from Fortune 500 brands, like Microsoft, Google, AB-InBev, and Samsung, to startups.

He is also a Springbok fan. :)

More than a decade ago, Jon founded The Influencers Dinner, a secret dining experience for industry leaders ranging from Nobel laureates, Olympians, celebrities, and executives, to artists, musicians, and even the Grammy winning voice of the bark from “Who Let the Dogs Out.” Guests cook dinner together, but can’t discuss their career or give their last name, and once seated to eat, they reveal who they are. Over time, these dinners developed into a community. With thousands of members, Influencers is the largest community of its type worldwide.

Jon’s second book, You’re Invited: The Art and Science of Cultivating Influence, has made a big splash since being released in May. In it, he demonstrates the importance of human connection, trust and community to accomplishing what is most important to us.

In his free time, Jon works on outrageous projects. Among them spending a year traveling to all 7 continents, or to the world's greatest events (Grand Prix, Art Basel, Burning Man, Running of the Bulls, etc.) and barely surviving to tell the tale. These Adventures were chronicled in his first book: The 2 AM Principle: Discover the Science of Adventure.

Join us as we explore:

What made Jon a Springbok fan and why they won the South African rugby team won the 2007 World Cup.

The concept of psychological safety, something more relevant than ever before.

The two best predictors of longevity. Spoiler - it’s not diet.

How community is the number one thing correlated to success.

Why you are the people you surround yourself with.

Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me – wrong!

Why the grass isn’t always greener

Redefining the word influencer

What is it that truly fosters connection

What creates trust

Niraj Naik, The Renegade Pharmacist, is on a mission to improve health and well-being on a global scale. He posits an interesting thought experiment – what if the billions of coca-colas and cigarettes consumed a day were replaced with the habit of breathwork? Naik believes it would be revolutionary.

A certified pharmacist turned holistic health and breathwork expert, Naik’s story is like so many in the health and wellness space. Disillusioned with his observations that all the prescription drugs he was dispensing as a pharmacist were making no difference (if not making them worse) on his patients health and then having to heal himself from one of those “incurable” conditions (ulcerative colitis), Naik broke away from traditional medicine and immersed himself in the world of alternatives. Not only did this cure him of his colitis, it changed his life forever.

Naik then under his Renegade Pharmacist moniker began to educate the public about brainwave entrainment, Ayurveda, natural supplements and medicines and breathwork. It was during this phase he authorized what would become one of the most viral infographics of all time – What Happens To Your Body One Hour After You Drink a Can of Coke.

He then created his own system of breathwork, SOMA Breath, which is taught across the world by over 1,000 instructors. Naik is also a professional musician, serial entrepreneur and one of the most sought after spiritual ceremony facilitators.

Dr. Riaz Motara is doing things a little differently. Not only is Dr. Motara a cardiologist with 20 plus years experience, he founded the first woman’s heart clinic in Africa and is the only functional medicine trained cardiologist in South Africa who focuses on cardiac-endocrinology. But six years ago Dr. Motara was faced with a problem – his waiting list for patients was too long and his time too limited. So he founded KardioFit, which is already Africa’s largest digital health company, with the purpose of connecting the patient and medical professionals using technology that will create improved outcomes.

The focus of KardioFit is on prevention and screening to catch any potential issues before they manifest into dis-ease by harnessing the powers of prediction and precision.

Dr. Riaz Motara has a MBBCH and FCP (SA) from Wits Medical School.

Dr Stephanie Seneff is a pioneer in the field of glyphosate and the adverse effects it has on our health. Dr Seneff has an eclectic background with a MIT Computer Science Master's degree and an undergrad in Biology.

She has spent most of her career working in computer dialogue systems. In 2007/8, her concern for Autism and the environmental factors behind its alarming increase, which she describes as a Quiet Epidemic, saw her research move in a new direction and begin focusing on the gut.

Agrochemical companies claim that glyphosate is safe for humans, animals, and the environment. But emerging scientific research on glyphosate’s deadly disruption of the gut microbiome, its crippling effect on protein synthesis, and its impact on the body’s ability to use and transport sulfur―not to mention several landmark legal cases― tells a very different story. Dr. Seneff lives in Kauai, Hawaii.

Dr. Al Danenberg has been a periodontist for over 40 years. As a student and qualified dentist, he practiced all the traditional methods of very invasive dental surgeries. Until, in 2018, at 71 years old, Dr. Al was diagnosed with terminal multiple myeloma - he wasn’t supposed to make it to see 2019, let alone be thriving in 2021.

He determinedly developed a plan that evolved into his Unconventional Cancer Protocols, combining in-depth research of ancestral nutrition & lifestyle changes with his knowledge from 44 years as a periodontist. Now, he focuses on helping others regain control of their health.

Dr. Al is passionate about periodontics in general—and for the LANAP protocol combined with his emphasis on evolutionary nutrition in particular. He speaks ardently on the cutting-edge concepts of nutrition and laser treatment to the general public and is happy to spread the word among his fellow professionals.

He has served as a member of many dental and periodontal organizations, including the American Academy of Periodontology and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Currently he enjoys Life Membership in the American Dental Association.

In 2020, Dr. Al was appointed as the Chair of the Periodontal Committee for the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM).

He studied biochemistry and environmental health and went on to receive his doctorate from the University of Virginia School of Medicine. He then trained in internal medicine at Maine Medical Centre.

He now practices natural and functional medicine in Richmond, Virginia, where his mission is not to treat disease but cure them. Dr. Leland now works with patients around the world, teaching them to live a healthy life in the true spirit of Hippocrates who believed “the greatest medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it”.

Dr. Orlando Rojas believes in ethical bio-aesthetic dentistry and discovering the truth. After graduating as a dental surgeon in Colombia in 1986, Dr. Rojas was deeply disturbed and disappointed after uncovering that amalgam fillings were not safe and the dentistry world knew it but still used them. He wondered if they lied about that, what else had they lied to him about? Since that fateful day Dr. Rojas has been on a journey of truth, including witnessing the crippling effects of fluoride, and devoted his dentistry practice to that as a biological dentist, much of which he pioneered and taught himself.

He has a degree in Dental Surgery and a litany of advanced certifications from local and international universities such as Harvard and NYU. He is an international lecturer and instructor, member of the International Associate for Dental Research South Africa and the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology as well as many other South African and international associations, co-founder of Dental Care Group, a group that as early as 1994 treated underprivileged South Africans with the best biological dental care, and is an associate fellow of the World Clinical Laser Institute.

Dr. Rojas is also a man of principles, and abides by “the” golden rule: Do unto others what you would like to have do to you. He aims to provide the highest quality of health care through gentle, personalized conscious dentistry, which acknowledges everyone as a holistic person with not only a physical body but also mental and emotional bodies as well as a soul. Or as he puts it, “All medicine comes down to this – find out what doesn’t belong in your body and get rid of it.

Find out what is missing, and replace it. The body does the rest and it is more important to understand the imbalances in your body’s basic systems and restore balance rather than name the disease and match the pill to the ill.”

Join us as we explore:Dr. Rojas’s journey from believer in traditional dentistry to leaving that worldview behind.

Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input.

During her years in clinical practice she worked with many people who struggled with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementias and mental ill-health issues like anxiety and depression.

She also teaches at academic, medical and neuroscience conferences, churches, and to various audiences around the world. Dr. Leaf is also the bestselling author of Switch on Your Brain, Think Learn Succeed, Think and Eat Yourself Smart, and now is out with her brand new book Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess - 5 Simple, Scientifically Proven Steps To Reduce Anxiety, Stress, And Toxic Thinking.

In her new book she explores with rigorous research why the mind and brain are different and how what is often treated as a perceived mental illness of the brain is really about the mind and the stories and identities embedded into individuals. In her new book she outlines the necessity of managing your mind and does so with her own process called neurocycling.

Join us as we explore:How Dr. Leaf has fought for decades to focus on the mind vs the brain.

The difference between brain and mind?

How all of us are capable and must strive to be Olympian mind athletes.

The interrelationship between beliefs and habits.

Why feelings of anxiety and depression are not mental illnesses.

Jake Steiner is the founder and pioneer behind endmyopia.org, the world leading resource hub on how to reverse myopia and naturally return one’s eyesight to 20/20. Twenty years ago Jake himself had a -5.00 diopter myopia but now has perfect vision.

Throughout his journey Jake accumulated and cataloged the many tools, resources and experiences that eventually became endmyopia.org, which has grown into an active community of thousands of fellow “myopes” who share knowledge, information and every tip and trick of their own eyesight recovery journeys.

This online community combines science, biology and clinical research with the human touch to create an engaging community passionate to help, guide and support everybody who decides to take their eyesight back.

Jake himself still leads the charge and is fervent about proving that bad eyesight is simply a “refractive state” and not a medical condition. Based on his success story but more importantly the many thousands of other successes in his every growing community, Jake has proven that it is possible to correct one’s eyesight and ditch the glasses for good.

John Doolittle, CAPT, USN (Ret), graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1992 and transferred to the U.S. Navy. During his 25-year career in the Navy, he was deployed around the world as an officer in the SEAL Teams, conducting special operations around the globe, including Kosovo, Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

John retired as a Navy Captain after his last assignment as Director of the Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) Task Force at U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Headquarters—supporting 73,000 Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Green Berets, Night Stalkers, Air Force, and Marine Special Operators. John is a certified KAATSU Master Instructor, an NAUI Dive Instructor, and has an MS in Defense Analysis/Irregular Warfare/Special Operations from the Naval Postgraduate School.

Steven Munatones studied under Dr. Sato, the Japanese inventor of KAATSU, for 13 years before co-founding KAATSU Global with Dr. Sato.

Dr. John Jaquish is the scientist behind the revolutionary X3-Bar, which uses a unique combination of the world’s most powerful resistance bands attached to a platform and detachable bar, that allows for the type of extreme force that builds muscle 3 times faster than conventional weight lifting, without the risk of joint injury.

Dr. Jaquish is also a research professor at Rushmore University, and an expert in osteogenic loading and bone density who has been nominated for the National Medal of Science and who is fast becoming known as the Tony Stark (of Iron Man fame), or more likely, the Elon Musk of the health and fitness industry!

Dr. Jaquish’s research and his inventions are disrupting the health and fitness industry, making gyms as we know them today obsolete in the near future. Dr. Jaquish has been granted seven patents by the US Patent and Trademark Office, as well as 236 corresponding international patents in 46 countries.

Dr. Frank Lipman received his initial medical training in South Africa and emigrated to the United States in 1984. He became Board Certified in internal medicine after serving as Chief Medical Resident in his final year of residency at Lincoln Hospital in New York City. Becoming more and more aware of both the strengths and the weaknesses of his training, he began to study acupuncture, Chinese medicine, functional medicine, nutrition, herbal medicine, biofeedback, meditation and yoga.

He began to see that the polarization between how western modalities and other healing philosophies merely negated the positive attributes of both. He saw that true healing lay in a blend between the two. He now practices his unique composite of what he calls “Good Medicine”, combining all the systems in which he has trained.

Dr Lipman has consulted high-profile patients, like Gwyneth Paltrow and Maggie Gyllenhaal and is the best-selling author of 5 books (with an additional 2 in the wings for publication at the end of 2020 and early 2021!)

Patrick van der Burght came to home health and the GEOVITAL Academy through personal brushes with serious health issues in his family. Conventional medicine had its limitations and so Patrick was forced to investigate natural and complementary approaches to health.

This precipitated a fact-finding mission in many parts of the world that eventually led to GEOVITAL Academy in Austria.

Patrick is now the director of GEOVITAL Academy International and looks after their interest outside Europe and English spoken training globally.

His motto: ‘There is no need to be paranoid about radiation, but people should take it very seriously where it matters most… in the bedroom and home’
