What are the secrets to improved health, happiness, and longevity? This is the quest my guest today has taken up. Dr. Molly Maloof is a leading biohacker and physician who provides health optimization and personalized medicine to high-achieving entrepreneurs, investors, and technology executives. For three years, she taught a pioneering course on healthspan in the Wellness Department of the medical school at Stanford University before launching her own company. Her brand new, highly-acclaimed book, The Spark Factor: The Secret to Supercharging Energy, Becoming Resilient, and Feeling Better Than Ever is an excellent biohacking resource, particularly for women.

In today’s episode, we talk about Dr. Molly’s holistic health philosophy, which incorporates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. We discuss the concept that optimal health is not a destination, but a continuous process of active participation in a goal-orientated wellness lifestyle. We touch on the importance of social connection, and how one of the biggest tragedies of the pandemic was the isolation people experienced when they were social distancing. Today’s episode is a powerful must-listen for anyone who is curious about cracking the code to better health and wellness. So, without any further ado, on with the show!

Why do some people experience scarcity when there is an abundance of wealth, resources, and innovation available on this planet? And why do some people fight and run away from their fears while others run towards them?

My guest on today’s show has made it his mission to help people break through what holds them back from achieving and living their best lives. John Assaraf, “The Brain Whisperer,” is one of the leading high-performance success coaches in the world. He is a behavioral neuroscience researcher who has appeared numerous times on Larry King Live, Anderson Cooper, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. I am so impressed by how John works with clients, “innercising” the right neuromuscles in order to shift mindset, expectations, and perspective. In today’s episode, we discuss that shift where if you come from a place of abundance, you can easily spot opportunities in your favor. We also talk about the ways people can cultivate deeper thinking by training their brains to ask better and more profound questions. If you’re curious at all about manifesting spiritual, mental, and financial abundance in your life, this is one powerhouse of an episode you won’t want to miss. So, without any further ado, on with the show!

Artificial Intelligence is evolving quickly; some argue faster than humanity can cope with. What can’t be argued is how sweeping the impact of AI will be on the world. As all this continues to unfold, what’s the impact for us now and in the future? And how will it affect the next generation?

In this episode, Dr. Ben Goertzel and I dive deep into the intricacies and possibilities of artificial intelligence and the urgent need for us humans to prepare for this brave new world.

Dr. Ben is a cross-disciplinary scientist, entrepreneur, and author. He leads the SingularityNET Foundation, the OpenCog Foundation, and the AGI Society, which runs the annual Artificial General Intelligence conference.

Dr. Ben also chairs the futurist nonprofit Humanity+ and serves as Chief Scientist of AI firms Singularity Studio, Rejuve, SingularityDAO, and Xccelerando Media, which are all parts of the SingularityNET ecosystem.

If you'd like to understand the benefits, risks and implications of AI from one of the top minds in the field, you’re in the right place. This episode is packed with thought-provoking insights from one of the most sought-after futurists. Dr. Ben made a compelling case for decentralizing AI and why it's our mission not to let it be controlled by a single organization. We even discussed how superintelligent machines connect with spirituality.

We've all experienced childhood trauma to varying degrees. Heaven knows I got more than my fair share of it -- in the forms of physical, verbal, mental and emotional abuse.

I've heard that trauma is anything less than nurturing. By that definition, I would guess that captures my entire listener base. But this is not usually talked about publicly. Today, we have one brave guest willing to bare his soul, discuss publicly his childhood wounding, and most importantly, share his healing journey, including those modalities that worked and those that didn't.

By day, Shalev Amar is a successful attorney who's assisted many consumers of lemon vehicles for 17 years.

Shalev has studied trauma processing, releasing, and healing methods for 9 years to overcome his own childhood trauma. He's come onto Get Yourself Optimized to share what he's learned with those of us who face our own trauma challenges or have people in our lives that we care about who are held back by their trauma.

Let's get on with this important episode!
