This week… All the degenerates made it to the Stu. Still recovering from Max's bachelor party the fellas recapped the party's shenanigans. The new General Manager of the Milwaukee Bucks called in. He recapped the collapse that was the last two weeks of the season, and discussed future offseason moves. The reporters had some thoughtful questions for the new GM. After the GM left, Andy called in to discuss the highs and lows of the Packers draft. Kärel battled the dictionary, and a viewer sent some in some wild Would You Rathers they discussed while playing darts. They ended things with challenge updates. Kärel's kick flipping, Seamo's strumming, and Max is telling jokes. But, before any of that nonsense, they saved the best for first, with the Beer of the Week! During the BOW the fellas rate and review a new beer. They discuss the history of the brewery and examine what's in the beer they're drinking. Then, they break down the beer by its drinkability, the probability they'd drink it again, its chugability, and the can's attractability. Find out if FitVine's Pinot Grigio passed the HUA test.

After two years and over 100 episodes of XChateau, Robert and Peter reflect on how the wine industry has changed, the major themes that have popped up in the show, and some of the lessons they have learned in the process. From the changes to social media, the spectrum of fine wine to everyday wines, and the importance of social issues, XChateau has covered a broad array of critical business topics for the wine industry. Supporters on Patreon get access to the entire library of content and episodes. Detailed Show Notes:Social media is changing rapidlyThe rise of TikTok (in the last 6 months - late 2021 and early 2022 - for wine)Platforms are overlapping (e.g., Instagram's Reels and IGTV)YouTube is still the place for high production valueMore than pictures now, a lot more interactivity and video -> creates a higher barrier of entry for influencersWine video improving - more than the historic Gary V, Wine Library YouTube; e.g., WineKing, Andre Mack (Bon Appetit), Konstantin (MW in Germany)SommTV is paid streaming vs. advertising backed by social media (which can be tricky with alcohol), but SommTV doesn't have the social element and interactionCellarTracker is now expanding after over a decade, building on the community, expanding what was one of the first freemium modelsXChateau covered a broad spectrum of the wine worldHigh end - ARENI research on fine wine consumers, wine auctions, wine investing, counterfeitsEveryday wines - 19 Crimes (A/R, celebrities), FitVine (clean, good for you wine trends), Hammeken Cellars (crafting everyday wines)Wine investment - was hot, unclear future with the macroeconomic environment changing (higher interest rates, inflation, war in Ukraine); Burgundy still doing well currently, primarily due to limited supplyGrocery wine has seen significant shifts - re-opening has moved wine back to restaurants from grocery, will a potential recession increase grocery wine from fine wine retail? Evolution of the wine critic was a popular series - guests (e.g., William Kelly, Jeb Dunnuck, Esther Mobley) were very candid and openSocial issues were an important topic - diversity, gender equality, climate changeDiversity and inclusion is a potential pathway to bridge the gap in the wine industry from a smaller Gen X cohortThings like Tablas Creek's $95 bag-in-a-box wine as a solution for environmental impactTopics to tackle next: Global wine markets and trendsDifferent business models (e.g., co-ops, custom crush facilities)Understanding the wine buying journey of collectors and wine consumers Get access to library episodes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

WBZ's Jordan Rich talks with Matt Robinson of matts-meals.com about this low sugar wine alternative.

Wondering why there was only beer and spirits but no wine at Crossfit events and races, Mark Warren and Tom Beaton, Founders of FitVine, decided to start their own brand. With a goal of making wine more transparent and approachable, FitVine aims to “fit into your lifestyle.” At the $15-20/bottle price point, FitVine is bringing more Gen X and Millennials into the wine category with wine that tastes good and takes away the stuffy image of the wine industry.If you love the show, please consider supporting us on Patreon.  Detailed Show Notes: Mark and Tom's backgroundMet ~20 years ago, both in the tech industry and entrepreneursThey have always been into wineBoth former athletes got into Crossfit 2 decades ago at events.

Listeners can find Todd White at his website www.dryfarmwines.com, and on Instagram @dryfarmwines  After 15 years in the wine business, Todd’s life is dedicated to educating and helping people make better choices about food, nutrition, and how they think about consuming alcohol. As the founder of Dry Farm Wines, a writer, speaker, and a leader in the organic/Natural Wine movement, he has widely educated communities on conscious consumption. Dry Farm Wines sources pure Natural Wines and lab tests them to ensure each bottle is sugar free (0-0.15g per glass), lower in sulfites, and lower in alcohol (under 12.5% alc/vol). The wines are friendly to low carb, Paleo, ketogenic, and low sugar diets. Dry Farm Wines is dedicated to supporting small natural growers, currently sourcing from 600 family farmers who preserve 87,000 acres of organic vineyards and save 1.4 billion gallons of water annually by not irrigating their vines. They vet each grower’s practice and support those who focus on regenerative farming, biodiversity, hand harvesting, and the absence of industrial additives. Dry Farm Wines is proud to be the largest Natural Wine merchant in the world, bringing awareness to Natural Wine consumption and supporting farmers who honor the soil. In this episode, we talk about differences in natural, organic and conventional wines, how red wine actually gets its color, reasons sugar is left in conventional wines and more! "There are 76 additives approved by the FDA for the use of winemaking. And the reason that most consumers don't know about these additives, is because the wine industry has spent millions of dollars in lobbying money to keep wine contents labeling off of bottles." Todd White Top Takeaways: Todd explains the difference between natural wines, organic wines and conventional wines The reason irrigation is not used at dry farm wines Why conventional wine bottles don’t have nutritional labels Three attributes that make a natural wine A common myth about red wine debunked  Today’s Questions: What does the term ‘dry farm’ mean?

We know we should have put out this episode on champagnes/sparkling wines two weeks ago, but things have been hectic and busy at the BBR studio. So instead we release today's show in celebration of heading into year three of us telling dad jokes, learning new things, and generally getting a bit tipsy with you our listeners! We even harken back to our first year and get one of the BBR founders Andrea Anderson back on the show, along with our lovely guest #2 Ben Revier. We had the intention of doing just spumantes, but then we did a little bit of research and realized how laughable that was. BBR crew got through it only slightly scathed, but there's just something about sparkling wines that gets everyone in a giggly mood. Today we sample and review J. Roget Spumante, Fitvine prosecco spumante brut, Risata Moscato d'Asti DOCG, Chandon Sweet Star, and Moet's Moet & Chandon Nectar Imperial.

I get tons of questions about water. What water filter is best? Should I add minerals to my water? What do you think about alkaline water? Structured water? Hydrogen rich water? Deuterium depleted (DDW) water?  And much more... So on this podcast, I interview one of the world's leading experts on water and a guy who, along with my father , has taught me more about water than just about anyone I know. His name is Robert Slovak. Robert is a degreed Mechanical and Aeronautical & Astronautical engineer best known for co-founding Water Factory Systems in the early 1970’s. He and his brother were among the early developers of Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology and its many applications. Their successful innovations encompassed home and office RO drinking water systems, bottled water production, laboratory purification, hemodialysis, seawater desalination, microchip production, bottled water production, water vending, spot-free vehicle washing and scores more. As a result of the rapid growth of RO applications, Robert’s ongoing seminars and a best-selling industry book on the subject of POU (Point of Use) RO, he became a well-known figure in the water industry. In 1989 Water Factory Systems was purchased by CUNO Inc, a global leader in fluid treatment. Since then, it was acquired by the 3M Corporation, which continues to market many of their original products. Robert officially retired from the US water industry in 1996 and went on to bring his knowledge and experience to Brazil, Asia and other international markets. He put together a team and published Agualatinomerica magazine to establish a legitimate water equipment and education infrastructure in Brazil and South America. His “students” continue to play a major role in Brazil’s water industry. In 2004, while in a remote location of Brazil, Robert became seriously ill and was introduced to an obscure 1897 medical discovery known as Original Quinton Marine Plasma (after the famous revolutionary biologist René Quinton). Robert attributes his "jungle" survival to its remarkable healing properties. This ocean-harvested nutraceutical contains the entire Periodic Table of organo-complexed minerals & trace elements as well as essential and rare micronutrients and has been continuously produced for more than a century. Having been an avid student of health and nutrition science for decades, Robert recognized the remarkable history and efficacy of Quinton Marine Plasma in supporting a wide range of the most difficult health conditions and has distributed Quinton Marine Plasma to leading-edge clinics and health practitioners worldwide since 2008. For the past nine years Robert’s focus has been on bringing a new nutraceutical breakthrough called “Molecular Hydrogen” (H2) to the medical profession and health-minded consumers. This “smallest molecule in the Universe” has been overlooked for its remarkable health benefits until now. With more than 800 worldwide health studies on the subject, physicians, researchers and clinicians have been proclaiming Molecular Hydrogen (H2) as the most unique and versatile antioxidant and signaling molecule. In 2010 Robert co-developed a practical way for everyone to benefit from this discovery by creating the first reactive hydrogen tablet that infuses water with a supersaturated concentration of molecular hydrogen (H2) gas. This proven nutraceutical is now in its 9th year of distribution in both professional medical and consumer markets. In 2011 Robert became a founding investor in the that was developing a groundbreaking new technology to deliver nutrients and nutraceuticals to the cells. It is referred to as nano-encapsulated liposomes. In just a few years, Quicksilver Scientific established its scientific dominance in this growing field and is currently expanding its product scope and global distribution. While attending medical and wellness conferences throughout North America, Robert recognized the persistent minefield of water-related misinformation encountered by doctors, patients and consumers alike – that’s after spending nearly 50 years in the water technology industry. This unsettling experience soon turned into the motivation to do something about it and Water & Wellness was established in 2017. A team with more than 150 years of combined experience was assembled to create a product line of advanced Point of Use (POU) and Point of Entry (POE) water treatment systems for health and wellness minded consumers. In addition, a line of synergistic water additives was formulated for the consumer market including Quinton and QuintEssential minerals & trace elements, Active pH Restore alkalizing mineral powder, Active H2 ULTRA molecular H2 tablets and Active Ribose C high-bioavailability vitamin C. Recently, Robert’s 25-year interest in Deuterium Depleted Water (DDW) took a new direction forward. With a combination of Soviet-era research from the 1960's and recent announcements explaining the profound physiological benefits of water with reduced Deuterium content, Robert decided to act quickly in making a reliable and affordable supply available in North America. Soon, health practitioners and health-minded consumers will be able to obtain the most deuterium depleted Litewater brand DDW through soon-to-be-announced channels nationwide. Robert continues to be a very active international figure in the rapidly expanding water technology, wellness and anti-aging community, making appearances and presentations worldwide. During our discussion, you'll discover: -Why and how Robert went from the aerospace industry into the water industry... Robert and his brother Jack were both working in the military industrial complex and were just plain bored to tears They became aware of a new technology called membrane separation, aka reverse osmosis They were pioneers in water systems in homes and restaurants, to micro electronics manufacturing Built the first hemodialysis system (portable dialysis) Didn't invent reverse osmosis, but refined and developed products that used it (the spot-free rinse being the most famous) -How a near-death experience made Robert aware of a forgotten scientific discovery that led to his current work... In 2004, Robert came down with gastroenteritis after moving to Brazil in retirement Was given by a local man 6 vials of quinton marine plasma, a harvested extract of plankton from the ocean This is what they used in the absence of proper health care in that area Was first discovered in 1897 : a protocol used to treat serious conditions such as a damaged spine Not to be used as a supplement of injectable for general wellness Super hydrating a specific location with sea water Plankton bloom: one of the most complex bioreactors Make about 65% of the oxygen on earth Heavily protected by national and international governing bodies Robert's brother and business partner passed away in 2016; passed on the license to Quinton to -The secrets to Robert's youthful physical appearance... Quinton Moderate exercise Grounded with the earth Strict paleo dietary regimen (see below for details) Trace elements (from the Quinton) 40+ supplements taken daily (see below for details) -How to set up the ideal water filtration system in your home... Always find out what exactly is in your water (EPA water quality report for local water company) Filtration system, temperature, etc. all matter in the quality Two methods for removing the greatest number of contaminants: Distillation + activated carbon Reverse osmosis + activated carbon Then remineralize the water (quinton, trace liquid minerals, Celtic sea salt) Why Celtic sea salt, and not another type of sea salt? Jacques DeLangre (founder of Celtic) was a student of Rene Quinton himself Celtic is not rinsed. When you rinse salt, you rinse away 30-40 trace elements Himalayan sea salt is an underground salt mine; has iron oxide contamination The best water filtration systems on the market: minerals Sanitize the storage tank minimum once a year, and every time you change filters Incubators for huge levels of bacteria LED and UV sterilization is coming soon -Robert's take on alkaline water... He's against it; has been for 7+ years It's "the scientific misconception that became a multi-billion dollar business" The engineer who conceived of it didn't know the distinction between "alkaline" and "alkalinity" Another misconception in how "ph" levels affect acid in the water Match vs. fireplace: which will heat your home? Once you drink alkaline water, the body will change the ph level dramatically Alkalinity comes from adding trace minerals which have a buffering capacity: carbonates and bicarbonates Fresh green juices are a great way to alkalize the body (no ph levels) -Robert's take on structured water... Refers to the molecular configurations the water molecules take on that are purported to have some physiological significance These arrangements are very fickle; they change every second It fails when you drink it; no structuring can survive the stomach (remember, it can dissolve a steak) There have been no studies that show consistent physiological benefits The only structuring Robert would consider is -And what about hydrogen-enriched water?... Robert created the very first hydrogen reacting tablet in 2010 Not to be confused with hydride ions (which Robert erroneously did from the outset) Tyler LeBaron () set the record straight You can combine Quinton minerals with h2 tablets -What is deuterium, and what is deuterium-depleted water... The hydrogen in water consists of 3 isotopes: protium, deuterium, tritium (which is of little consequence) Deuterium is twice as heavy as protium (the only isotope that has that large a disparity with its sister isotope) Water is actually 3 different molecules: H2O, HdO, and D2O There are 150 deuteriums for every 1 million protiums in water When water is made with deuterium, it's called "heavy water" (it's used to power nuclear power facilities and make nuclear bombs) America won the race to extract the deuterium from regular water during World War 2 Unusual biological effects of deuterium-depleted water on plants and animals: Increases in life span, Growth rates, Survival and diseases Russian scientists reported this, they were not taken seriously by the global scientific community Many variations or levels in which deuterium can be removed from water and still be considered "depleted" Incredibly complicated process of removing deuterium from water A camel produces deuterium-depleted water naturally; it's why they can survive without water for weeks in the desert -And much more!

From Dr. Joseph Mercola, my friend, multiple-time podcast guest, a guy who thinks way outside-the-box and seems to always be discovering some new cutting-edge way to enhance human health and longevity, and one of the world's foremost authorities on alternative health has just written a guide to using the principles of ketogenic eating, meal planning, and timing to treat disease, promote weight loss, and optimize health. The new book is called "". In the book, he explores the profound health benefits that result when ketogenic living and well-planned fasting are combined. Topics include: -How our food is making us sick and what we can do about it... -The physiology and mechanisms of fasting, including stem cell activation... -How the cyclical ketogenic diet--with fasting included--differs from the conventional keto diet... -How fasting works and how safe it is for you... -How regular one-day fasts support fat burning and detoxification while minimizing hunger and side effects... -How to monitor your progress with lab tests... -And much more... During our discussion, you'll discover: -The fascinating history of fasting among different religions and cultures...8:25 was originally written to learn to optimize multiple day water fasting Most religions integrate fasting into their practice (speaks to its efficacy throughout history) It's one of the best ways to express care for your spirit, especially when combined with meditation, gratitude, solitude, etc. Therapeutic fasting: Calorie restriction to activate metabolic processes to catalyze the healing process Fasting didn't become popular in the U.S. until the 1800's with the natural hygiene movement Became more popular when Herbert Shelton popularized it in 1911 -Autophagy, and why Dr. Mercola thinks of a fast as a "free stem cell transplant"...16:45 Different varieties of fasting: Intermittent (the foundation) Dr. Satchin Panda found that 90% of people don't do this () You need more than intermittent to get the max effect of autophagy Fasting mimicking diet, water diet Hybrid of the two, minimize the harmful effects Autophagy: 3 types Micro Macro Chaperone mediated You activate autophagy with the keto fast Dr. Mercola does not recommend a long-term water fast Free stem cell transplant is what happens during the regeneration phase, after the autophagy phase The magic happens during the refeed and strength rebuilding; similar to a growth hormone injection Do a 42 hour fast, in which you eat 300-500 calories 2x per week -How fasting affects intestinal stem cell function...24:20 Extended fasting helps reduce gut permeability by stimulating brain/gut pathways Consider fasting before other treatments or supplements for repairing the gut Certain supplements will inhibit autophagy: colostrum, B12 AMP-k and mTOR It's your friend; The higher the better A nutrient sensor Puts your body in "repair mode" See Saw: AMP-k up, mTOR down, vice versa -What nutrients you need to optimize autophagy...34:08 and European wild apples Dr. Mercola’s “autophagy tea” before my nightly fast to also limit mTor activation and increase autophagy: 1 tsp ½ tsp hydroxycitrate and garcinia () ½ tsp ½ tsp ½ teaspoon to taste You don't want to take exogenous ketones when you want to activate autophagy while fasting -How ketones protect the brain excess hydrogen peroxide...46:00 Fats and carbs are fuel sources; broken down by enzymes Oxygen receives electrons from the food you're digesting in the form of hydrogen (which is converted to water) Most people are metabolically inflexible; can't burn much fat for fuel Ketones increase Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (nADPH) -Why Dr. Mercola changed his mind about the power of water fasting as a metabolic intervention...50:55 We in the 21st century are exposed to chemical and industrial toxins not historically known to humans Toxins are stored in our fat When you fast, you release these toxins Cause unpleasant side effects and symptoms 2 phases: Convert fat soluble to water soluble (not a problem) Attach molecules to the toxin You need frequent refeeds to fuel the process of eliminating the toxins and enhancing detox pathways A keto fast (42 hours, 300-500 calories) 2x/week is far more powerful than an occasional multi-day water fast or even fast mimicking diet -What Dr. Mercola views as the "dark side of fasting"...55:00 Detoxification impairment Compliance: people just won't do it How Dr. Mercola recommends Ben improve his own fasting strategy: Ben takes for protein during extended fasts Don't eat meat protein (branch chain amino acids) Take collagen protein Drawbacks to long-term ketosis Requires significant calorie restriction Women can develop thyroid impairment You simply weren't designed to do it Fasting primes your body for improvement; the real magic happens in the refeeds -What is "keto fasting," and how cyclical ketosis addresses the above issues...1:00:13 You must be metabolically flexible Eat in a 4-6 hour window per day for 4 weeks Branch chain aminos: lucine, isoleucine, valine Eat these on the refeed, not during the keto fast Don't activate mTor along with autophagy Cyclical approach: Keto fast 2x/week Every day intermittent fast Strategies to deal with hunger or appetite cravings: Vast majority of metabolically flexible people won't feel hungry Coconut oil, MCT oil, aloe gel and sparkling water -How sauna use supports a fasting protocol, an ideal sauna setup, and sauna do's and don't's...1:07:45 Brian Richards' is the best 40% of energy from the sun is infrared Near infrared heats you up very quickly Penetrates much more of the body than far infrared Book: Compounds prior to sauna use: (small doses) Use low EMF -And much more!

Wine has become such a mass produced commodity, how do you know what is inside of a bottle? If you read carefully, some labels even say the wine may contain fish! As someone who considers your health, you will be happy to learn that there is a wine out there that thinks about health and fitness during the winemaking process. Mark Warren and Tom Beaton, the cofounders of FitVine, started this company because they were active people and they wanted to drink a healthy, low sugar wine.  Tune in to hear Kris talk to Tom about his company.

In this episode you will learn about some of the differences between H1-H4 receptor agonist herbs, and why you'd want to consider a combination when up against histamine-overload symptoms or mast cell activation syndrome. The Raw Carnivore Diet continues to improve my health, and thus far is the single most impactful thing I have done to date. One of the biggest lessons I've learned about experimenting with different supplements, herbs and protocols is that you must be meticulous in all areas, from journaling, to integration, and listen to your body. Additionally knowing mechanisms helps as sometimes symptoms from herbs means you are actually getting the desired impact (biofilm busting herbs for example often make you worse cause they expose your tissues to hidden infections thereby increasing localized inflammation).

Product Suggestions Seeking Health ProBiota HistaminX [Helpful in reducing overall histamine load in the gut and for those with dysbiosis. I did have some mild symptoms of nausea and toxic feeling the first 4-7 days of use than it balanced out.] Seeking Health Histamine Block [This product led to cardiac symptoms similar to atrial fibrillation, I spoke directly with Dr. Ben Lynch and he has never had any such reports from this product. It's well worth a try for those looking to reduce histamine load.] Oregon's Wild Harvest Nettle [A great H1 receptor agonist. I found 6-8 caps a day split throughout the day to be effective in as little as 4 days of use. This was somewhat effective for tachycardia.] Oregon's Wild Harvest Holy Basil [A great H2 receptor agonist. I found 6-8 caps to be effective for tachycardia symptoms along with overall itchiness at night. Coupled together with Nettle these are fantastic at reducing histamine-driven tachycardia.] Yamoa Capsules [It was far too long ago when I tried this (12 years back) so I can't vouch for it, but it looks to be a promising H3 receptor agonist for those curious to experiment.] Banyan Botanicals Kutaja Powder[Never experimented with this product, but it's high on my list as it looks to be a potent H3 receptor agonist. Just beware it is a biofilm-busting herb, which means it can cause die-off symptoms for those curious.] Pure Synergy Matcha Powder [It got me too high-feeling, so I can't say how good it is as a histamine reducing herb but it has many other health benefits provided you don't find it too stimulatory.] Dry Farm Wines [My all-time favorite wine, while I do think FitVine is on the right track, I can say my body prefers Dry Farm Wines.] Elephantopus Scaber Ayurvedic Herb [If you can find a reliable source let me know as this could be a potent H4 receptor agonist, and well worth the exploration.] Cheers Comrades, Brandon Trean BCTMB, HHP, NC Cheers Comrades, Brandon Trean BCTMB, HHP, NC --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/immortal-inquiry/support
