The Life Stylist

One of my favorite events of the year is Attune , a thoughtfully curated four-day event at Serenbe filled with opportunities to connect socially, attune inwardly, and get inspired through immersive experiences. I got to record episodes with some of the smartest and most inspiring spiritual leaders around today while I was there in 2019, but few manage to make that wisdom more accessible than today...

Today we’re looking at how jacked up my brain is — and how I'm going to fix it. A few weeks ago, I traveled to the Amen Clinic in Orange County to work with Dr. Daniel Amen, one of America’s leading psychiatrists and brain health experts. My visit started with a SPECT scan of my brain, which is an imaging test used to get 3D images of internal organs. Then, we sat down for this interview to talk a...

Mercado Sagrado is one of my favorite events in the world. Every year, people trek to the mountains of Malibu to learn more about a more connected, conscious way of living. I’ve gone the past few years to run the Biohacking Lounge and host a session, and in 2019, I gave a talk titled, “The Flow State Formula: Neurohacking Mindfulness.” In this immersive lecture, I will guide you through a lesson i...

Today we’re taking a deep dive into stress: what causes it, how it affects us, and the various ways we can treat it. As someone who has lived in a huge city for a long time and who travels frequently, stress has wrecked me in various ways — but I know I’m definitely not alone. Gallup reports that 55% of Americans are regularly stressed during the day, and things just seem to be getting worse, as s...

John Wineland is an LA-based men's group facilitator, speaker, and teacher who has been guiding both men and women — including yours truly — in the realms of life purpose, relational communication, sexual intimacy, and embodiment for the better part of a decade. His teachings are profound and powerful, but he seems to have the unique ability to deliver it with a light and humble heart. I don’t kno...

I got your DMs. I saw your comments. You want to know which Costa Rican Ayahuasca retreats are most worth your time and money. I had way too many messages to respond to each of you with a thorough enough explanation, so I decided to create this detailed analysis of Rythmia and Soltara, offering a side-by-side comparison of my experiences. But let me just get this out of the way first: there is no...

In part one of this week’s two-part Costa Rican adventure, I shared my field recordings from the first six days of my recent trip to Soltara Healing Center and an interview with Founding Partner and COO Melissa Stangl. If you haven’t listened to that already, I highly recommend listening to part one first. In this episode, you’ll hear about my last two days at Soltara and my final plant medicine c...

Today’s two-part episode was recorded in the mountainous tropical forest of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, featuring a play-by-play account of my eight-day experience at Soltara Healing Center.  These are my raw, intimate, and uncut thoughts after traveling to Costa Rica, dealing with an EMF nightmare of a hotel room, and embarking on four ayahuasca ceremonies, this time in the Peruvian Shipibo tr...

Are you ready to have your third eye blasted open? My guest Allison Pelissier has long been dedicated to the expansion of consciousness and being of service, but her life changed when she activated her third eye for the first time nearly five years ago. She didn’t fast for weeks. She didn’t use plant medicine. She didn’t have a near-death experience. She looked at a light. Of course, not just any...

This week’s Q&A is a doozy. You know, when I started doing these solo episodes, I really thought they’d be shorter than my interviews. But, as it turns out, I have a lot to say about this stuff! There’s just so much information out there — and misinformation — and I want to make sure you all get the best and most comprehensive answers I can provide. If you want to ask a question for a future episo...

I’ve been practicing Kundalini yoga for the past 8 years, and I love how it makes me feel… but I was also a little skeptical of claims about how this ancient yogic technology can help manipulate the nervous system and heal the body.  Well, until I started following the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza, a researcher who studies the intersection of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to explore t...

Recorded live from an undisclosed location in Malibu, this episode features a Q&A with Aaron Alexander after the release of his new book, The Align Method: 5 Movement Principles for a Stronger Body, Sharper Mind, and Stress-Proof Life . I was honored to be able to MC this event and I’m pumped to be able to share it with all of you now. I also released a full episode with Aaron today that’s equal p...

There are a lot of people I get along with, but there are few people I align with (pun intended) more than Aaron Alexander, the human body genius who created Align Therapy , an integrated approach to functional movement and self-care that has helped thousands of people out of pain and into health. So, it’s generous to call this an interview — it’s really just a recording of two guys geeking out ab...

It’s that time of the month again: Q&A time! By now, you probably know the drill. I’ve been taking questions from The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group , doing some research, and coming back with the most in-depth answer I can muster. This week, we have two bangers for you. Sarah asks about why we don’t talk about the potential dangers of EMF radiation during regular plane travel, yet freak out...

From the time a coffee cherry is harvested and processed to the time a cup of coffee is poured into your mug, an extraordinary amount of waste is created — and when you add it all together, global coffee consumption is responsible for more than 23 million tons of waste annually, according to sustainability researcher Gunter Pauli . Among that heaping pile of waste are hundreds of thousands of poun...

10 years ago, Juraj Kocar was struggling with high blood pressure, chest pain, and constant dizziness. 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 dabb...

DENtalks is a show all about intimate conversations with meditation teachers, spiritual leaders, activists, celebrities, authors and people from all walks of life who have unlocked their true life potential by discovering their authentic selves. I was honored to be invited onto the show by host Tal Rabinowitz, founder of DEN Meditation. We discuss ego, finance, spirituality, how they all tie toget...

For our first Q&A of 2020, we’re going to take a hard look at how you can get closer to nature when your job or environment makes that difficult to impossible — plus, I share a little bit about the vices I have and continue to struggle with. If you want to ask a question for a future episode, come join The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group . You can watch the next episode live, ask questions to...

Back in 2018, a tall, dark, and incredibly straight-talking man adorned in colorful, tribal fashion came to my house for a five-hour marathon podcasting session that was nothing short of magical. We stayed up until 4 AM going on an epic journey into the depths of our souls, calling in great spirits and drawing on shamanic, ancestral wisdom to learn profound solutions for deep healing. Now, almost...

In the Beyond + Back podcast, host Krissy Teegerstrom talks with musicians, artists, writers, and creatives about the creative process, where inspiration comes from, and why they do what they do. She wants listeners to get inspired about their own creativity and self-expression, and I am so grateful she thought of me as a guest. In this episode, we talk about what it’s like to create your own life...

We all find spirituality in different ways. Some of us are born into it. Some of us are moved by great texts or speeches. And some of us find it in our darkest hours, a guide that brings the hope and courage we need to find our way back to the light. It was this guide that found Gabby Bernstein 14 years ago when she found herself on the losing side of a battle with addiction. It was the day Gabby...

Breaking Normal is a podcast that explores the boundaries of mystery, memetics, and language. The host Daniel Eisenman approaches the show and the world with a unique perspective and, as a result, I think he gets his guests to talk about their stories in new and unique ways. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to join Daniel on his show recently, and I wanted to make sure you all had a chanc...

This is our last Q&A episode of 2019, but don’t worry — I have a ton more planned for 2020! I can’t believe the amount of support that you all have given me in 2019, and I don’t know if it’s possible for me to express the gratitude I feel in words.  It’s still astonishing to I’m able to do what I love most — talking to some of the smartest people in the world — and that it’s having a positive impa...

You are in for a real treat today because, as a Christmas gift from me to you, I’m sharing one of the biggest and most thorough episodes I’ve ever released. Ben Greenfield came over to my house and we went through every single supplement, smart drug, nootropic, herb, and biohack on the entire property. We then turned this into a full-length documentary film and this monster of a podcast. I learned...

Although I spent years working in and around Hollywood, I don’t have a lot of actors or industry folks on the show. But I am really interested in the physical, mental, and emotional preparation that goes into preparing for these huge projects because, in a lot of ways, that parallels my own work in the wellness and biohacking space. It’s also not often that you get an actor who wants to geek out a...
