Mark Sisson: Why Walking Beats Running for Longevity

What’s better for longevity—running or walking?It’s a bit of a trick question.But if there is one answer, it’s definitely walking.If you want to be fit and live for a long time, you don’t need to subject yourself to suffer fests and slog through long runs.In fact, when you combine daily walks with the habit of sprinting just about once a week, magic starts to happen.

Israa Nasir: Why Hyper-Optimization Protocols Do More Harm Than Good

Do you feel a constant pressure to optimize every aspect of your life? What if hyper-optimization protocols actually do more harm than good? The glorification of hustle culture has given many of us the nagging feeling that no matter how much we do or accomplish, it's never quite enough. Living in a cloud of frantic, urgent, reactive energy can even cause us to lose sight of who we are and why we’re working so hard. If you want to reclaim your time, energ

Anna Vocino: Say “NO” to Big Food and Build Your Own Business Instead

Have you ever wondered why almost every single packaged food contains industrial seed oils, anti-caking agents, preservatives, petrochemical flavorings and other non-foods?And why do so many growing companies that started as a healthier real food alternative ultimately sell their souls to Big Food?

Chef James Barry: Why Eating at Fancy Restaurants is Terrible for Your Health

Why do fancy restaurants fill their meals with junk oils, sugars, chemical preservatives, and worse?With rampant food inflation and razor thin margins, even the fanciest, most exclusive and expensive restaurants can’t resist the tendency to cut corners on ingredient quality.That means that no matter how much you spend on eating out - with few exceptions - you’re still getting shockingly low-quality food.So how do high profile celebrities and the rich and famous achieve such dramatic transformati

Matt Beaudreau: How to Nurture Genius and Courage in a Habitually Compliant Population

What’s the difference between education and indoctrination? Is our education system broken, or is it operating as intended? The public school conveyor belt is a relic of the Prussian military model, designed to produce compliant workers for factories rather than sovereign thinkers with upward mobility. We’re left with a blindly obedient population that’s smart enough to follow orders, but not smart or courageous enough to question the status quo.   The masses are conditioned to become habitually

Paul Millerd: Why He Blew Up His Life (and You Should, Too)

Is your work aligned with your true calling in life? Or are you being paid to overlook your overwhelming disinterest in the work? Is your work-life driven by an illusion where the trivial is disguised as important? Tragically, this week’s guest admits, “I spent 10 years doing an enormous amount of work but feeling as if I created nothing of substance.” Most of us know the feeling, but it doesn’t have to be this way. In other words, work doesn’t have to suck. Today, I'm thrilled to have my good f

Mark Divine: Master Your Mind’s Energy to Become Uncommon

What does the concept of longevity mean to you? Does it mean pumping your body full of exogenous hormones, peptides, stem cells, brain implants, and gradually replacing your organs with lab-grown pig parts? Perhaps some of us will sign up to be a brain in a jar? Or can we cruise into our second century by living a simple life of self-reflection, meditating deep in the mountains? Afterall, in remote corners of the world, there are legends of yogis and spiritual masters living so long that their t

Adam Gilbert: Overcome Self-Sabotage and Unlock Your Full Potential

When you know what you’re supposed to do, what keeps you from actually doing it? We’re all guilty at times of procrastination, pleasure-seeking, indulging in distraction and escapism, and even self-sabotage. Perhaps it’s all part of the human condition. But since knowing what to do is different from actually doing it, it’s essential to set up systems in our lives to make healthy choices the default option. And sometimes we need a little help getting out of our own way. By helping you work throug

Gabrielle Lyon: Why Meat-Eating and Strength Training are Key to Longevity

Have you heard that eating animal protein causes cancer? Or that you’ll save the world if you only give up hamburgers forever?  Despite dutifully reducing our consumption of animal protein for decades, rates of obesity and chronic disease have skyrocketed.   In the face of relentless anti-meat propaganda, what if the blanket advice to follow strict plant-based diets is actually accelerating rates of obesity and disease?  When I gave up meat as a young athlete for the sake of health and the envir

Loretta Breuning: Why You’re Not Happy (and What to Do About It)

If you’re not happy all the time, do you feel like you have a problem? No matter how much you achieve, does it feel like it’s never quite enough?  This is totally normal.  There’s nothing inherently wrong with the pursuit of happiness, but it’s critical to understand that even in the best case scenario, happiness is fleeting. It’s not something we ever get to keep.  We’re conditioned to think that if we don’t feel happy, we’re failing at life. The traditional approach to addressing unhappiness i

Dr. John Gray: How to Overcome Tech Addiction, Optimize Hormones, and Reignite Romance

Do you feel like you’re addicted to screens? Technology was supposed to improve our quality of life, but instead it’s fueled a war on our attention, happiness, and sanity. Some of the most intelligent brain scientists in the world are paid ungodly sums to make sure you’re as addicted as possible, hijacking your reward pathways so they can mine your time, manipulate your thought processes, and sell your data to the highest bidder. The endless pursuit of corporate profits has created an algorithmi

Dr. Cate Shanahan: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health (and What to Eat Instead)

Are we blaming red meat and butter for the problems vegetable oil caused?  Contrary to popular belief, there is no correlation between either saturated fat or animal fat consumption and heart attacks.  Despite that fact, doctors learn that there is.  So why does the American Heart Association lie to doctors and the public about the true cause of heart disease?  All the way back in the 1950’s, Ancel Keys manipulated and falsified data to blame butter, red meat, and saturated fats for heart diseas

Govinda Tidball: Health Sovereignty, Medical Privacy & Web5 Technology

What do you think of censorship? It's a bizarre and uncomfortable feeling when some unelected, self-appointed anonymous party behind the curtain decides what you're not allowed to say or learn. We live in a world where little people like us are legally responsible for every word we put online. But when our overlords in Big Tech censor potentially life-saving information, should they be held to the same standard?And who exactly decides what's true and what's not? After I was censor

Matthew Lysiak: How Fiat Money-Printing Destroys Our Health and Enables Endless War

Does it feel like a dollar isn't worth a dollar anymore? At first, inflation feels good for some of us. Homeowners see their houses rapidly increase in nominal price, the stock market appears to rise, even used cars and trucks sitting in the driveway growing older somehow appear to become more valuable. But when you fill up your cart at the grocery store, pay for skyrocketing insurance and tax bills, and account for rapid and permanent increases in housing, energy and all the othe

Dr. Casey Means: Solving for the Root Cause of the Metabolic Health Crisis

Have you ever ignored your doctor's advice? Most doctors enter the medical field with noble intentions, but are unaware of the systemic corruption and profit driven nature of the industry. The hard economic truth is that nearly every institution that impacts your health makes more money by managing chronic disease than by curing patients. The pharmaceutical industry has influenced medical research and treatment, leading to a focus on recurring revenue through chronic medication an

Gary Taubes: Unintended Consequences of Weight Loss “Wonder” Drugs

Did you know that doctors were treating diabetic patients with high-fat low-carb diets all the way back in the 1700s? Though high-fat ketogenic diets were found to effectively treat diabetes for over a century, they were largely abandoned due to the rapid adoption of insulin in the 1920s, which was considered then to be a miracle cure. Prioritizing drugs over lifestyle with insulin therapy, however, led to unexpected long term complications in patients, including damage to large and sm

Dr. Julia DiGangi: How to Transmute Pain and Trauma into Triumph

Do you ever find yourself bottling up your emotions instead of speaking your mind? We all experience horrible feelings like anxiety, stress, inadequacy, doubt, and confusion, and most of us spend our entire lives trying to run from them.  In fact, research shows that many of us would rather withstand electrical shocks than sit with our own thoughts.  But our guest today reminds us that these painful feelings are not here to torment us. They are calling us into our next level of power.  We’re her

You’ve likely heard the buzz around photobiomodulation, but can light exposure significantly improve sleep, recovery, and performance?  Well, there are more than 15,000 studies exploring photobiomodulation as a healing modality, but despite an abundance of research, the effects of light for our health has been largely overlooked in the past few decades.  Now we’re becoming more aware of how artificial light can disrupt our circadian rhythm, but certain wavelengths of infrared and near infrared l

If you're not feeling and performing at your best, how do you identify exactly what's out of whack?  When you're suffering from fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression, weight gain or disrupted sleep, tracking down the root cause can be nearly impossible on your own.  And while the heavy-handed pharmaceutical approach can be useful for some conditions, a life sentence of taking drugs that just treat symptoms doesn't save the rest of your body from falling apart. If you're looking for life-long h

Matthew James Bailey: How Artificial Intelligence Can Benefit the Human Species

Advancements in artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the nature of human experience. So why is it important that AI not be bankrupt of ethics? What are the uniquely human qualities and characteristics we should carry with us into the future? And could popping a chip into our brain result in an immediate and irreversible deletion of our biology or even our humanity? AI will never be able to think with its heart or have anything to say of its own accord, AI doesn't care if what it's saying

How can we get the most out of our genetic potential? Breakthroughs in science, research and epigenetics show us that we're not simply stuck with the genes we inherited from our parents.

Anna Vocino: Why Food Labels Lie and How to Say “No” to Robots

You know that feeling when your stomach turns into a bottomless pit? Even if you read food labels like a hawk, sneaky appetite-stimulating ingredients can be lurking in spices, sauces and other foods without ever being included on the label. In fact, there are a number of ingredients food manufacturers aren't required to disclose that might jeopardize your ability to moderate food intake.

When was the last time you felt anxious, depressed or stressed out? If you're thinking “Right now! This moment. Today, yesterday, most days,” you're definitely not alone.  It happens to everyone. You get stressed, you start breathing wrong, and the day gets away from you. Most of us would agree that we've never seen people, especially in the western world, more sick and stressed out than right now.

Are you a little bit confused about exactly what is healthy and what isn't? In a sea of disinformation, marketing hype and rage bait, combined with aggressive censorship of researchers, doctors and health professionals, finding your way to the truth isn't easy. Over the past few years, the internet has been hijacked by cowardly, unelected overlords who shadowban, censor and silence us in a sad attempt to dumb us down and keep us in the dark.

Tammy Brill: Homemade Yogurt vs Cafeteria Yogurt (Under the Microscope)

How do store-bought fermented foods like sauerkraut and yogurt, you might ask, match up against the kind you can make at home? Well, most of the yogurts and "fermented foods" you find in the grocery store are unfortunately sorely lacking in the live nutrients department. But when you eat the real thing, a food that's been fermented the right way for the right amount of time, you can tell that it's alive. It's burbling and fizzing, and when you eat it you can feel that it's actually doing somethi

Dr. Ian Billinghurst: Strange Similarities Between Human Health & the Health of Our Pets

Have you ever seen a dog that's a spitting image of its owner? The resemblance can be hilariously uncanny, but beyond similarities in affectation, gait and overall goofiness, we find time and time again that the health of our pets is often reflective of the health of their caretakers. Having dogs or pets around has been an integral part of the human experience for ages. But do you know what the biologically appropriate diet really is for your furry friend?

How often do you exercise?  Does it surprise you to learn that 3 out of 4 of us humans don't exercise at all, at least not on a regular basis? I'm sure draconian government interventions that outlawed group exercise, shuttered gyms and small businesses and all of that, certainly didn't help matters or our trajectory overall. But the way I see it, you have to find ways of making working out fun. And you also have to do your best to not get sidelined by injury, overtraining, or burnout.  So joinin

How can we reduce our exposure to toxins without driving ourselves absolutely out of our minds? Our workplaces, homes and foods are contaminated with a mind-numbing mix of chemical toxins. And by default, there's a shocking lack of information available about what exactly is contained in the products we buy.

And according to a recent report from CNBC, the average American is nearly $100,000 in debt right now. So how can we get back above water?

La'Tasha Givens: How She Shed 45 Pounds in 14 Weeks

How can we separate truth from propaganda? It surprises many to learn that in the United States, propaganda is perfectly legal. It's not so subtle though if you look closely, and the endless drum beat of talking heads repeating the same sound bites over and over doesn't inform us or get us any closer to the truth. Simply doing what we're told won't lead to long-term health or well-being—just look at the food pyramid—we have to take on that responsibility ourselves. That's why it's more important

What's the secret to aging gracefully? When it comes to training, you don't need to punish yourself to achieve incredible results. In fact, life-long fitness junkies often see physical movement not as punishment, but as a creative act. Breaking a sweat sets off a hormonal cascade that increases mental alertness, boosts your energy and leads to long-term gains in quality of life. But none of this matters unless you actually do it. The key is making physical activity fun. So today, I am honored to

Dr. Alan Christianson: How to Optimize Thyroid Function & Avoid Excess Iodine

How's your thyroid doing? If you're low on energy, gaining weight or your metabolism is off, it's time to take a look at that little gland at the front of your neck. A century ago, severe iodine deficiency was widespread across the world, but now, we have the opposite problem with 52 nations at risk for thyroid disease due to an extreme excess of iodine.

Cynthia Thurlow: Does Intermittent Fasting Actually Work?

Does intermittent fasting actually work? As many of you know, I’ve been practicing various forms of fasting for nearly a decade now, but does it really work for everyone? Does it work for no one? Does it work for women, men, and anyone in between? There's so much information, disinformation, misinformation and content overload when it comes to fasting, when it comes to eating, diet, nutrition. It can be tough to make sense of it all.

Shawn Stevenson: How Subsidized Foods are Fattening America

Should we be prohibited from asking questions? If we lose the ability and right to speak, ask questions, to think for ourselves, to have sovereignty over our bodies and lives... we are on a precarious path indeed. With more of us obese, overweight and diseased than ever before, it's the very governments and corporations silencing us and ordering us around that got us here in the first place. As we're being told what to believe, many of us are being censored, shadowbanned, or even de-platformed -

What's worth more? A $20 bill or a bottle of wine? In a pinch, I've realized real world pleasures like wine can be worth more than cold hard cash. With rising food inflation and obvious issues with our supply chains, it's a good time to make sure you're stocked up on provisions for whatever life throws at you.

Have you tried eating low carb yet? How did it go? How did you feel? Did it last? Be honest. Many people get incredible results by kicking out all the processed junk, sugar, and by dialing down the carbs, but I'm going to be honest with you, I love carbs. After my hard workouts, after my runs up the mountains, there's definitely a place for good carbs like wild rice, quinoa, sweet potato, old school sourdough, even some treats every once in a while.

Ever since the world shut down, crippling small businesses, decimating communities and filling us all with fears of certain death, the response from politicians and world government has been disturbingly inadequate, to say the least.

Scott Nelson: Does Red Light Therapy Actually Work?

You've heard all about red light therapy, right? Maybe you've heard that near-infrared and red light therapy can help you with inflammation, collagen production, and skin health in general.

Bobby Maximus: How To Say “No” & The Benefits Of Self Imposed Limitations

Be honest, how often do you say “no” to things you don’t want to do?  We’re conditioned to sit in desks, be quiet, raise our hands and ask permission to go to the bathroom, and follow the rules.  Do what you’re told and never stray from the herd.
