Boundless Life

Dr. David Minkoff and I go way back. I first met this MD and 41 time Ironman triathlon finisher at the Half-Ironman World Championships in Florida six years ago, and interviewed him a few weeks later in the podcast episode " A Peek Into The Life of An Ironman, Natural Medicine Physician. " Then, he helped me with metal detoxification using a metal chelating spray he designed, and I interviewed him...

Prepare to have your mind blown... Green tea is bad for you. You shouldn't brush your teeth very much. Vitamin Water has more carbs than beer. And you should start using nicotine, five or more than drinks per day, marijuana and copious amounts of coffee. These are all shocking claims made by the book " The Good News About What's Bad for You...The Bad News About What's Good for You. " and written b...

Today, you get to learn about a new wearable device that gives you all the benefits of cold thermogenesis...   ...via a tiny device that you wear your wrist like a wristwatch.   But this device goes way beyond that, including generating infrared light that induces a release of nitric oxide and ATP, reducing travel and jet lag symptoms, inducing sleep, shutting down inflammation...   ...and much mo...

Last year, my friend Skye Chilton visited my house. One night, he sat down at my kitchen table and spread out an array of colorful mushrooms, including cordyceps, a mushroom well-known for it's athletic performance enhancing capabilities (and one that I recently tweeted this study about ). "Taste this." Skye said, as he handed me a standard, commercial cordyceps product. It was tasteless, flavorle...

A few weeks ago, I talked on this podcast episode about whether THC can cause damage to the grey matter in your brain. But, frankly, I spent very little time addressing the matter on that particular show, so in today's episode, I'm revisiting the topic of THC, brain damage, liver damage, myths about marijuana, CBD, smart drugs, nootropics and more with Dr. Andrew Hill, Lead Neuroscientist at truBr...

My guest in today's podcast is Jim Kwik (yes, that's his real name). Jim Kwik is really, really...well...quick. He can learn much faster than mere mortals. Take reading, for example. Most folks read at a rate of 200-250 words-per-minute (wpm). But Jim reads heavy science material at about 500 wpm and devours light fiction at upwards of 1300 wpm. And more importantly, he can remember everything he...

Nearly six years ago, in a tiny hotel room lobby in Kona, Hawaii, I met a guy named Gilad Jacobs. Gilad was holding a black box about the size of a shoebox, and had two big, space-agey looking boots with him, which attached to the box via two air tubes. I fumbled my way into the slightly awkward, hip-high boots, then sat in a chair as the black box pumped air in and out of the boots. I'll admit: s...

From Regenokine treatments to edible phytoplankton drops  to NFL players traveling to Europe for stem cell injections that would be illegal in the USA, it seems that stem cells are the hot new arrival on the recovery and anti-aging scene. I distinctly recall my first experience with injecting cells into the human body. I was a young, bright-eyed hip and knee surgical salesman, and the company I wo...
