The Life Stylist

We’re keeping the Q&A train rolling this week, and there’s no sign of it slowing down — because there are so many fantastic questions being asked by the bright, inquisitive minds in The Lifestylist Facebook Group! Bright minds like Barbara, Cindy, and Joanna, who asked the questions I’m focusing on this week. Come join us, watch the next episode live (you can do that on Instagram, too), and ask an...

Wynford Dore was an incredibly successful businessman, founding two multi-million dollar businesses as a young man. But when his daughter was nine years old, she was diagnosed with dyslexia and told that this was just the way life would be moving forward. She became increasingly depressed, eventually attempting to take her own life. So, 20 years ago, Wynford sold his businesses, bought the latest...

We’re heading deep into the wild with one of the best possible tour guides: Daniel Vitalis, a modern-day hunter-gatherer, a great friend, the founder of the nutrition company Surthrival , and the person who taught me so much of what I know about living a nature-integrated life (without moving into a bunker in the middle of the woods forever). Daniel’s newest endeavor is WildFed , a show, podcast,...

Before we get into today’s episode, I just want to thank all of you. I started these Q&A episodes a couple of months ago as an experiment and I’ve been blown away by the positive feedback and questions you’ve been sending my way. These are a blast for me to do and I love that it’s becoming a regular thing now. I also want to say that I’m not a doctor. I don’t even play one on TV. However, I have s...

Paleo f(x)™ is one of the first, biggest, and most successful conferences in the health and wellness space — so, if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’ve already heard of or been to it. But how much do you know about the Paleo f(x)™ co-founders, Keith and Michelle Norris, and their incredible story? Unfortunately, as is too often the case, this story begins with a tragedy, when their d...

Ninka-Bernadette Mauritson is a journalist, health influencer, bestselling writer, and health coach. Her son was diagnosed with autism at the age of four, but she was able to turn all of his symptoms around and she believes that the current autism epidemic is a “big wakeup call” to mothers and the Western world. For years, her son spent weekends in institutions due to constant screaming, tantrums,...

Back in episode 221, the Wellness Mama herself, Katie Wells, helped answer my biggest questions on birth, babies, and homeschooling kids. I also had the opportunity to go on The Wellness Mama Podcast, and I wanted to share the awesome conversation we had in case you haven’t heard it yet. We delve into some of the darkest moments of my life, moving forward after trauma, becoming The Life Stylist —...

An old proverb says, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel.” Really, this is why I started this podcast in the first place. My goal for the past few years has been reversing all the damage that Young Luke did to this meat suit and healing the scars left in my subconscious that continue to undermine my life and success — and only a fool would try to do that...

Back when Dr. Scott Sherr started learning about integrative and holistic medicine, pretty much everything that wasn’t in a little orange bottle got lumped under the umbrella term “alternative medicine” — which is to say, yes, Dr. Sherr is a real medical doctor, but he’s a very progressive health practitioner and he’s been exposed to these ideas for pretty much his entire life. So, while there’s n...

The last time I talked to John Gray — author of the most well-known and trusted relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus — we had an incredible conversation about his spiritual journey... before we turned on the microphone! So, when I had a chance to sit down with John at the Health Optimisation Summit, I wasn’t going to miss my second opportunity to record some of th...

Lori Harder is the founder of The Bliss Project, a three-time fitness world champion, a cover model turned self-love junkie, a lifestyle entrepreneur, and the host of Earn Your Happy. Each episode of Earn Your Happy is designed to give listeners the tools, ideas, and inspiration they need to take action — so I was extremely grateful when Lori invited me to be a guest on the show! I felt an instant...

Welcome to my birthday show! I was born on this day, October 29th, 1970. That makes me a Scorpio, and also so grateful to take my 49th trip around the sun. Today's show is a live recording of a talk I recently gave in London at the Health Optimisation Summit, a two-day immersive experience where attendees discover the tools, hacks, technologies, and techniques to optimize their health for life. I...

A few years ago, I heard about some people drinking this new coffee loaded with butter, and I thought it was one of the craziest health fads ever. How could loading up on cholesterol and caffeine be good for you? But then I did a little research, ordered some coffee, and my life was forever changed. The coffee, of course, was Bulletproof, and this high-fat diet business is clearly a lot more than...

Today, we’re sharing a conversation Luke Storey had with past guest Lacy Phillips on her show, the EXPANDED Podcast.  Luke shares his journey of going from a young drug addict, to a celebrity stylist, to becoming a speaker, coach, and entrepreneur. He shares his lowest points as a heroin addict, his journey to getting sober , his consciousness practices , and accessible ways in which anyone can im...

Today, it’s just me, Cookie, and a microphone — that’s right, community Q&A is back! A few weeks ago, I answered some questions asked by the badass biohackers and soul searchers in The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group . Due to popular demand, and the fact that I love sitting down with all of the listener questions, we’re going to make this a regular thing moving forward. I’m stoked.  If you wan...

I don’t do a lot of shows about fitness because as important as I think it is, it’s just not been something I’ve ever enjoyed. So I do it because it makes me feel good, not because I like it.  Luckily, it’s been getting exponentially easier for me to get into fitness (or just get my exercise over with and on with my day, at least) because there are some incredible innovations being made in fitness...

You are a being of light, literally and biophysically.  Your cells emit biophotons, or ultra-weak ultraviolet light, which then trigger the process of mitosis. So the thing that we’re told causes skin cancer is the same thing that our cells are using to signal cell division, a foundational piece of biological function. Our guest, Matt Maruca, is fascinated by seeming contradictions like this — whe...

Over the past 232 episodes, I’ve been your host and guide through the worlds of biohacking, spirituality, and personal development, asking some of the most profound and cutting-edge thought leaders out there what makes them tick — but, today, we’re flipping the tables. Because past guest (and next week’s guest) Matt Maruca invited me to Rick Rubin’s world-famous Shangri-La studios, a recording stu...

Dr. Mark Atkinson wants you to acknowledge that life has gifted you with a body and mind for the duration of your time here on this rock hurtling through space. And how do you honor and show gratitude for a gift that you appreciate? You take care of it! A lot of the growing biohacking and self-development communities tend to focus on taking care of the physical body, but that’s just our vehicle th...

Today’s episode probably never would have happened if it weren’t for a car accident that occurred during my trip to Rythmia in Costa Rica — a moment of serendipity and synchronicity that I am, looking back, grateful for. Because that shared experience started my conversation with Alix Goldsmith Marcaccini, who runs Cuixmala, which is both one of the most beautiful and ecologically sustainable vaca...

Mood changes, irritability, depression, anxiety, fatigue: these are not simply symptoms of illnesses that we should all medicate and suppress — these are symptoms of the human experience. And our souls get the most out of our experience here on this rock hurtling through space when it is forced to confront and work through mental, emotional, and physical pain. This is how we grow. This is how we f...

I invite you to join me as we travel through space and time, back to the beautiful island of Mallorca, Spain, where a room full of truth-seekers and Life Stylist listeners joined forces in the exploration and ascension of spirit at Ra Ma Festival, where this solo show was recorded live on location. In this episode, we’ll be taking a dive into the lecture portion of The High Love Experience, a tran...

If you regularly feel stressed out, overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, or tired – that isn’t just a symptom of modern society, although there is an epidemic of lethargy and our collective mental health is on the decline. You can change the way you experience the world, without quitting your job and moving into the middle of nowhere (as nice as that might sound some days). To solve modern problems, t...

After 22 years of intense biohacking and experimentation to optimize my physical health, I’ve tried just about everything – or so I thought. Because Dr. Ted Achacoso surprised me with the knowledge, insight, and hacks he had up his sleeve that I hadn’t even heard of before this conversation.   Dr. Ted was trained as an interventional neuroradiologist and pharmacologist, but he became disillusioned...
