Fifteen years ago, the Universe provided me a powerful kick in the pants, prompting me to undergo both a physical and mindset transformation. An extreme makeover, if you will – inside and out. Part of that included a hair transplant. It made a big difference in my confidence and how I held myself. A few years later would come my spiritual awakening, but this physical and mental reboot was an important precursor to the spiritual one. Bottom line: the hair transplant was literally life-changing for me.

Knowing first-hand how life changing this technology can be, I’m excited to bring onto today’s show one of the world’s experts in hair transplants and hair restoration, Dr. Alan Bauman.

Dr. Bauman’s contributions to the field of hair loss have earned him prestigious accolades, including being voted the number-one hair restoration surgeon for six consecutive years and receiving the Top Surgeon of the Decade award in 2022. Forbes has lauded him as a transformative leader in healthcare. I met Dr. Bauman through one of his famous patients, Dave Asprey, the godfather of biohacking, whom I’ve also had as a guest on this show.

In our discussion, Dr. Bauman explores the spectrum of alternative and conventional modalities that he employs to biohack baldness—from cutting-edge laser therapies and regenerative treatments to the power of meditation, nutrition, and mindfulness. He shares insights into the latest advancements enhancing hair transplants and talks about how nurturing the body's inherent healing abilities contributes to overall health and recovery. Join us as we uncover the secrets to not only restoring hair but also cultivating a life of holistic wellness, inside and out. So, without any further ado, on with the show!/p>

What if we hold the power to heal ourselves by simply accessing Earth's living intelligence?

My guest on today's show is Michael Roviello. After years of pain and declining health following his deployment in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2001 and Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, the Navy veteran declined a second neck surgery and followed his intuition's call into the jungle.

Under the tutelage of Amazonian shamans, sacred plant medicines like Ayahuasca became portals for Michael to release old traumas, shift limiting beliefs, and reconnect to his life's purpose.

In this episode, Michael recounts his profound healing voyages catalyzed by ritual plant brews and poisons. By surrendering to unconditional love and embracing all that arose within, he accessed the wisdom needed to transcend his suffering. Michael employed the Wim Hof Method, which involves cold plunges, breathing exercises, and a mindset shift, as tools for self-healing and a deeper understanding of self. Today, through Optimyze, his wellness center in Arizona, he offers modern biohacking informed by ancient indigenous techniques to foster alignment of mind, body, and spirit.

Michael reveals how when we align with our planet and how she provides what we need for self-healing. So, without any further ado, let's go on with this fascinating episode!

Light and heat are all around us, thanks to the sun, but we’re also immersed in manmade electromagnetic fields, and it’s a concern of modern life that poses various health threats that we need to be aware of.

My fascinating guest on today’s show equates the human body to a cell tower vibrating with an electrical current. Tim Sandars has worked closely with a cutting-edge scientist to develop technology to combat the ill effects of EMFs on our health and well-being. In 2018, Tim and his partner launched the Omnia Radiation Balancer, a product that harmonizes radiation fields and brings a new resonance (electrical harmony) between the electronic devices you use and your body.

In today’s show, we discuss the consequences of uncentered energy fields and how we can actually move the zero point in our bodies. We get into a broader discussion about how the body picks up vibrations and the ways we send intentions and connect with others. If you’re curious about how you can lessen electromagnetic stress on your body, this is an incredibly powerful episode you’re not going to want to miss. So now, without further ado, on with the show!

Have you ever heard of deuterium? It’s a non-radioactive isotope of hydrogen. Scientists studying causes of aging discovered that naturally occurring water contains trace amounts of this isotope and it interferes with biological processes and damages the mitochondria. Remove the deuterium from water and consume that instead of the regular water and the purported benefits abound.

In this episode, my guest, Victor Sagalovsky expounds on these health benefits. Indeed, he thinks deuterium depleted water is one of the greatest discoveries in biology and a breakthrough for longevity and human health.

Victor is the co-founder and CEO of Litewater Scientific. He has dedicated himself to deuterium-depleted water research, development, and production. He is also an author of many articles on wellness, biohacking, emerging medicine, technology, mysticism, and esoteric wisdom.

Victor and I also talk about how he got into deuterium-depleted water and the origins of LiteWater, the problems with the water we drink, and what we can do about it. And there are plenty more biohacking tips you don't want to miss!

And now, without further ado, on with the show.

Do you have questions about sleep, gut health, mental health, chronic fatigue, or hormones and metabolism? If so, you’re in luck, because this episode I bet will answer a lot of them!

Barton Scott is a biochemist and founder of Upgraded Formulas. Barton developed a test that identifies your deficiencies and shows what your body needs using your hair. Blood and urine typically indicate a short-term result, while hair is the best identifier of tissue mineral status and heavy metal toxicity. This important data provides metrics crucial to understanding your baseline health.

Barton is passionate about helping people address the stressors of daily life—poor sleep, hormone issues, low energy, the toxicity of the modern world, the extreme lack of nutrients in our food and soil, and the nutrient absorption issues that we all face.

In this episode, Barton shares his amazing story of how he came to start Upgraded Formulas. He also talks about how he discovered that particle size is important for the supplements you take, why minerals are important in the body, and why you need to prioritize hair testing when you want to optimize your health. In addition, Barton explains the implications of a high level of zinc in the body, megadosing vitamin C, and magnesium supplements. Lastly, he shares the advantages of keeping a dream journal and lucid dreams.
