So he went to the doctor, as we’ve been taught to do, and he was given pills to treat those symptoms. When he asked how long he should take them, they said he’d take the pills for the rest of his life. A life sentence of pharmaceuticals didn’t cut it for him. So Juraj started researching and dabbling in biohacking, which led him down the deep, dark hole of electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) and discovering the Somavedic.

Keith Norris, Co-Founder of Paleo f(x), joins for a thoughtful conversation on psychedelics, what it's like to confront and overcome fear, and what it’s like to be in business with your significant other.Who is Keith Norris? Keith Norris is one of those few lucky souls who has been able to completely transition out of corporate America and dive headlong into his passion for bettering lives by teaching the art and science of physical culture. He not only “walks the walk” on a day-to-day basis, but his economic well-being hinges on his precepts of “proper exercise, stellar diet and lifestyle, and intelligent “hacks” and supplementation” forming the bedrock foundation for a long, healthy and prosperous life.Keith, together with partner Mark Alexander, have molded Austin-based Efficient Exercise into one of the most highly regarded fitness venues in the nation. Keith’s mix of intelligent and highly effective exercise programming, coupled with Mark’s business savvy and proprietary equipment genius have made Efficient Exercise the preeminent wellness authority.The very essence of Paleo f(x)™ is rooted in the idea of putting theory to practice; an idea that Keith is heavily invested in, having been blogging about these issues since early 2007. And his “30-thousand-foot view” for the Paleo f(x)™ enterprise serves as the movement’s guiding, north star.And with a belief that intelligent “hacks” can help bridge the gap between our elegant evolutionary programming and sub-par environmental surroundings, Keith is continually ferreting out and backing the most promising of technological enhancements. As a founding partner of ID Life, Keith is helping to usher-in 21st century, optimal supplement dosing.It might be said that Keith lives by the credo written by the Greek poet and soldier, Archilochus, over 2,600 years ago – “We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training”. And his vision for Paleo f(x)™ is that of a battle-tested warrior, preserving the right of everyone to fully, actively and enthusiastically engage in the human experience.Highlights[4:41] Keith's love of the barbell[15:21] Behind the curtains of the pharmaceutical industry[20:37] What it's like to lose your nest egg, the 2008 Crash[32:53] Starting Paleo FX[53:27] Launching a successful business with your significant other[1:05:58] Psychedelics and plant medicine[1:22:20] Resolving male identity issues[1:35:58] Paleo FX 2020ResourcesPaleoFx 2020 Ancestral Health SymposiumThe Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet by Robb WolfReturn on Integrity: The New Definition of ROITrue Hallucinations by Terence McKennaFood of the Gods by Terence McKennaWhitney Miller From Miss America to Becoming A BJJ Black BeltVietnam and heroin addictionBhagavad GitaThe Road by Cormac McCarthySponsorsPaleo FxIf you plan on attending the Paleo f(x)™ 2020, make sure to register via our link and plug in the code “FX20” for an additional 20% off your conference pass.Somavedic Precious metals and precious stones, aside from a few commodities trades in my life. I haven't really gone down that wormhole yet. But there is something about Somavedic that is just enticing. I have the medic green ultra, which I've plugged in in my office, and whenever I walk into my office now, I feel just a lighter sense of being, I feel more energetic.The Somavedic device can perfectly harmonize the body and the environment we live in or spend most of the day. Relatively healthy individuals usually feel much better after the effects of Somavedic and ill people re-gain strength to be able to heal more easily. Most people will feel the positive effect in the first few weeks, and more sensitive people may feel it as soon as the device is turned on. Somavedic was designed based on 15 years of experience in the field of Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, complementary medicine, and scientific knowledge in the field of frequency therapy.Head over to somavedic.com and use the code BOOMER to get 10% off on your purchase.Continue Your High Performance Journey with Keith Norris WebsiteBlogTwitterInstagramDisclaimer This information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

His work has also been featured in various media including The New York Times, Outside, Wired UK, Slate, Vice, San Francisco Chronicle, BBC Radio, CNN, CBS, RT, Fox News, and the Travel Channel.

Peptides and performance enhancing drugs are an often-misunderstood topic. Jean-Francois Tremblay discusses the differences between SARMs and Peptides, the repairing peptides (BPC157), growth hormone, and many others.Who is Jean-Francois Tremblay? Jean-François Tremblay studied Exercise Physiology, Biochemistry, and Pharmacy.He is now, a student and researcher at UQAM. He has been researching (in theory and in practice) peptides and SARMS since the 90s and published multiple studies on this matter, based on his own research. He had been studying the theoretical basis on what peptides are and their practical applications in sports performance, anti-aging, and health in general.His most recent work has been based on the premisses that the loss of muscle function (loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia), muscle strength (dynapenia) and muscle quality (muscle strength / mass)) begins at the age of 30 and continues exponentially with age in all the individuals.The mechanisms responsible for the loss of muscle function in the elderly are not yet well known, but probably involve various systems (physiological and neuromuscular) and this, in particular, is the main object of study of the CanLab laboratory. Jean Francois Tremblay is a biochemist that has dealt with peptide, SARMS, both in theory and in practice since the early 1990s.Highlights[3:23] What are peptides[8:18] The various effects that peptides can provide for people[13:32] The FDA and a potential for Peptide Bans.[29:00] Cycling Peptides[33:54] Applications for BPC 157[47:00] The effects of Melanotan II[57:11] Discussing growth hormone[1:13:17] Dosing[1:21:50] Downsides[1:23:41] SourcingResourcesBPC 157 and Blood VesselsMelanocortin receptor agonists, penile erection, and sexual motivation: human studies with Melanotan IIIpamorelin, the first selective growth hormone secretagogueHow to Live Forever with Dr. Aubrey de GreyOura RingFitbit AltaLife Extension: A Practical Scientific ApproachOur sponsor today is CAR.O.L You don’t have time for that 45 minute jog.You need something fast, efficient, and leaves you wanting more. My favorite tool for this is the CAR.O.L.

Dr. Gundry worked in medicine for over 40 years. He’s probably best known for the work as a cardiothoracic surgeon and heart surgeon… but today his focus is on something very different:In 2002 Gundry abandoned his career as a cardiothoracic surgeon to establish The Center for Restorative Medicine, claiming to have discovered some unconventional truths about human nutrition. He has since authored two books focused on food-based health interventions, recommending a plant-based diet. You might have read his books, “The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in “Healthy” Food That Cause Disease and Weight Gain” and he’s now tackling gut health and many of the myths surrounding healthy aging in “The Longevity Paradox: How to Die Young at a Ripe Old Age.”He’s a leading expert on the lectin-free diet and believes we have the ability to heal ourselves through nutrition when certain dietary obstacles are removed. Dr. Gundry’s mission is to improve people’s health, happiness, and longevity by making simple changes to the human diet. He’s the Director and Founder of the International Heart & Lung Institute as well as the Center for Restorative Medicine in Palm Springs and Santa Barbara, CA.

Let's discuss all things algae. We dive deep into chlorella and spirulina discussing the benefits of both. Catherine Arnston joins the show to speak about the use and the effect on algae in different diets. Who is Catharine Arnston?Catharine Arnston started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking). As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient-dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game-changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born. It took Catharine eight years to bring algae into the mainstream and build ENERGYbits into a national company. We're glad she finally did because now you and your family can benefit from our naturally grown, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets too. A handful will help satisfy your hunger, help give you steady energy, and help ensure your nutritional needs are met. All this from a food that has one ingredient, no chemicals, caffeine, sugar or processing and is the most sustainable, safe, eco-friendly, crop in the world - algae.Highlights[2:30] What is algae and why should it be a part of a human’s diet?[6:30] The differences between algae and seaweed[8:10] Overview of spirulina[15:41] The health benefits of chlorella [25:57] How did Catharine get into algae?[31:50] The process of cracking the hard cell wall of chlorella[37:23] How can we get K2 from algae?[42:29] What are phytonutrients?[54:06] Catharine’s opinion on the UN investigating spirulina as a solution to world hunger ResourcesThe Summit LAAlgae Nutrition Chart Energy Bits - Use Code SUPERHUMAN for a discountSponsorsToday, so many health issues come from a lack of nutrients in our agriculture.

This episode takes you through how Patrick discovered his heart disease and discovering what he calls the seven-headed dragon. Patrick shares his knowledge of dynamic systems to reverse a seemingly irreversible health condition. Patrick shares his strategic use of a ketogenic diet when looking at cardiovascular disease as well as one meal a day eating.Who is Patrick Theut?Patrick is a biochemist that has vested in over 16,000 hours of study, spread over many years in order to address and resolve his extensive plaque buildup in the Left Main coronary artery of his heart. He has been observing his medical condition for many years and has discovered long-forgotten literature associated with Vitamin K and how the Vitamin K is key for his treatment of his Coronary artery disease, but he was actually taking only a fraction of the dosage needed to help.To battle with his serious medical condition, he had started researching various cures, aids and supplementations and what was their direct impact on his health.Patrick is an engineer who has successfully managed to reverse his coronary artery disease.Patrick is the founder of the Track Your Plaque group where they track different heavy conditions that can be impacted by the Vitamin K.Highlights[3:50] How did Patrick find out he had heart disease and how it affected him?[19:33] Heart disease as a gut bacteria problem and surface chemistry problem.[25:20] What is fetuin a?[28:09] What is the purpose of LDL and HDL?[31:44] Why Patrick hasn't brushed his teeth in 10 years.[48:48] Why is a ketogenic diet so important here?[1:05:40] Talk about Vitamin KResources​The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent PealeLife Extension: A Practical Scientific Approach Adding Years to Your Life and Life to Your YearsFramingham Heart Study (FHS)Lore of Running by Timothy NoakesX3: 10 Minute Workouts, Reversing Osteoporosis, and OMADVitamin K and Vitamin K-Dependent Proteins by Dr. Sarah BoothsVitamin K and its analogsShould I take vitamin K2? | Dr. William DavisVitamin K and Cardiovascular diseaseSponsorSourcing Vitamin K in high doses is difficult.I have gone through bottles and bottles and bottles and bottles and paid countless taxes to import vitamin K and smaller doses. But Patrick makes high dose Vitamin K and produces it at a very, very reasonable cost. If you go to his website k-vitamins.com you can check out Koncentrated K and pick them up for yourself.Patrick's giving me no compensation for this. He did not ask for this, but I'm giving it to you because I think it's important that if you want to source high dose vitamin K, you know where to get it.DisclaimerThis information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

This is part two of an interview with Dr. Ted Achacoso. Dr. Achacoso continues to blow me away with his knowledge and ability to make complexity fun. Part two includes deep dives into nootropics, Health Optimization Medicine, Blue Cannatine, and microdosing.Who is Dr. Ted Achacoso? Dr. Ted Achacoso earned his college degree in Biology at the age of 18 and his Doctor of Medicine degree at the age of 22. At 25, he was a fellow of interventional neuroradiology, a research professor of pharmacology and toxicology, and a clinical professor of neurology in Manila. At 28, he became a professor of medical informatics and of interventional neuroradiology in Washington, DC, where he also performed artificial intelligence research biased towards connectionist systems. At 30, he began science and technology consulting for socially responsible investment funds. At 35, he founded and ran a group collaboration software company and created the first wireless groupware. At 40 he traded currencies using artificial intelligence predictive techniques for a private fund. At 45, he retrained in Interventional Endocrinology (Anti-Aging Medicine) and in Nutritional Medicine in Paris, and became double board-certified in both specialties. Dr. Ted wrote the first-ever connectome (of C. elegans) in a book, is published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, holds US patents and software algorithms, provides TV and podcast interviews, and delivers lectures. He currently has a tri-continental practice in Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe), a clinical framework that he pioneered to include health management in a disease management practice. He also formulated the Blue Cannatine nootropic troche, a product in the Troscriptions line of Smarter Not Harder, Inc.What is HOMe? Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) is a new specialty that takes care of the health of the basic cell that is common to all cells in the body --- the nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and other organelles, cell membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, microtubules, etc --- which forms the base of specialized cells like muscle cells and neurons, and which in turn, makes up the specialized organs in the body like the heart and the brain. HOMe is for physicians and HOPe (Health Optimization Practice) is for non-physician healthcare practitioners.“Illness Medicine” diagnoses and treats disease at the level of the organ, for example, cardiology and neurology. In contrast, “Health Optimization Medicine” detects and corrects imbalances at the level of the metabolome, for example, intra-cellular mitochondrial metabolites, extra-cellular microbial metabolites, and inter-cellular neurohormones. HOMe and HOPe use the sciences of Clinical Metabolomics, Epigenetics, Bioenergetics, Gut Immune System, Exposomics, Chronobiology, and Evolutionary Medicine – subjects currently not taught in medical and allied health schools.The science of HOMe/HOPe is “network-wide range shifting,” meaning shifting the objectively detected levels of metabolites, especially of the major hormone and nutrient networks, into the optimal ranges seen in healthy adults aged 21 to 30. This means that HOMe/HOPe does not use the same reference ranges for laboratory tests used in Illness Medicine, for example, for hyper- or hypothyroidism. This also means that an entire metabolic subnetwork of values is shifted and not just one value, for example, in nutrient optimization, Vitamin E is never given singly but always in relation to the measured levels of all the other major antioxidants in the Antioxidant Regeneration Pathway. Since manipulating one node within a network contextually affects the other nodes to which it is connected, the art of HOMe/HOPe is in manipulating the metabolic subnetwork such that borderline deficiencies and subtle toxicities are corrected to the point of concomitant subjective increase in well-being and health, for example, experiencing increased libido and decreased frequency of self-limiting infectious illnesses.Whereas Illness Medicine is after diagnosis and treatment of disease, lifespan, and quantity, Health Optimization Medicine and Practice is after detection and correction of imbalances, healthspan, and quality. Illness Medicine asks for Immortality. Health Optimization Medicine and Practice asks for Eternal Youth. Together they provide the full spectrum of health care.Highlights[2:57] The difference between Health Optimization Medicine and Functional Medicine[7:12] What role hormones play in Health Optimization Medicine[8:50] Work-life balance vs. work-life integration[14:55] Self-awareness as a metric[18:02] Peptides as a tool for optimization[21:46] Addressing concerns around exogenous growth hormone[24:41] Nootropics[28:18] What happens when you take nootropics without getting the foundations right[32:01] Designing the perfect experiment for microdosing LSD[37:39] Dr. Ted's nootropic formulation, Blue Cannatine[47:21] Dr. Ted answers the Superhuman 6ResourcesHealth Optimizati
