Most energy drinks trade your long-term health for a short-term jolt. This episode breaks down a smarter approach to energy, one that builds mitochondria function, supports gut health, stabilizes mood, and helps you sleep better at night, all without the crash -Get 15% off your next order at: https://getmte.com/dave Host Dave Asprey sits down with Jeff Boyd, founder and chairman of MTE (More Than Energy), the caffeine-free energy drink built around adaptogens, nootropics, and prebiotics that delivers what Boyd calls "energy that loves you back." Before launching MTE, Jeff spent 15 years as President and co-owner of Luggage Free, scaling the company to operations in over 100 countries before selling it in 2019. He brings the operational discipline of a veteran entrepreneur and the personal conviction of someone who built the energy product he actually wanted to exist. Dave and Jeff get into the full science and strategy behind MTE's ingredient stack, including paraxanthine, ashwagandha, eleuthero, maca, GABA, theanine, and saffron, and why each one was chosen for its role in stress response, brain optimization, and sleep optimization. They also dig into the formulation challenges of building a clean-label supplement over a stimulant base, the real difference between caffeine and its downstream metabolite paraxanthine, and why this blend functions more like a foundational biohacking protocol than a beverage. You'll Learn: Why conventional energy drinks wreck your cortisol curve and what to do instead How paraxanthine delivers the benefits of caffeine without the jitters or sleep disruption The adaptogen trio (ashwagandha, eleuthero, and maca) and how they work together for stress response and human performance Why saffron is one of the most underrated nootropics for mood and brain optimization How gut health and the microbiome connect directly to your energy, metabolism, and longevity The mitochondria connection between willpower, physical performance, and entrepreneurial output How AI is reshaping small teams and what founders need to do right now to stay competitive Why the cleanest path to anti-aging and longevity starts with how you manage your energy across the day Thank you to our sponsors! - Beyond Wonderland Conference | Oct 13 - 14, 2026.

"We had to start our own lab because the standards I wanted I couldn't find in any product, aging can be a joy, empowering, and beautiful." —Daniella Inbar What if your age isn't the problem? In this episode, Justine sits down with Daniella Inbar—cosmetic chemist, product developer, and founder of Inbar+Co. and Resonance Marin Spa. After 30 years inside the luxury beauty industry building brands and developing products, Daniela did something radical: she walked away from the "dishonest" luxury beauty machine. As the daughter of a pioneer in the German aromatherapy movement, Daniela grew up with a holistic approach to wellness rooted in authenticity and tradition, rather than beauty ads. Today, she isn't selling traditional anti-aging products. Instead, she forms skincare that actually listens to your skin's microbiome rather than lecturing it. Tune in as Justine and Daniella pull back the curtain on the "clean beauty" myth, explore why aggressive actives and harsh cleansers might actually be aging your skin faster, and discuss the complex reality of building a truly sustainable consumer brand. In this episode, you'll learn: • How over-complicating your routine and using aggressive products disrupts your skin barrier, causing congestion and accelerated aging. • Why "chemical-free" is a marketing gimmick and why lab-made synthetics can sometimes be safer and more sustainable for the planet than trendy natural ingredients. • The complex logistics of running an eco-conscious spa and skincare line—from choosing cotton over microfiber to the carbon footprint debate of glass vs. aluminum packaging. • Why the best skincare approach is to do less, work in systems, and support your skin's natural biology. Meet Daniella: Daniella leads the INBAR+co system as Founder + Formulator. Her work begins with formulation: creating products for professional-use logic, refining them through the Resonance Marin spa environment, and releasing them as retail formulas only when they hold beyond the spa. The lab sits inside Resonance Marin, and clients pass it on their way to treatments. That proximity matters. Formulation, service, feedback, and quality control are not abstractly connected. They share a physical space. At 58, with no invasive procedures, Daniella lives the brand's age-positive position herself: support the skin, do not erase the face. Her guardrails are restraint, barrier respect, material responsibility, and visible results over time.

Grâce à la plasticité cérébrale, notre cerveau conserve la capacité d'évoluer, de créer de nouvelles connexions et, concrètement, de réapprendre à penser.Pour transformer une croyance limitante, la première étape consiste à modifier subtilement la structure de nos phrases. Prenez une formulation ultra-classique comme : « Je ne suis pas capable ». C'est une affirmation fermée, définitive, qui agit comme un mur. Remplacez-la simplement par : « Je ne sais pas encore faire... mais je peux apprendre ». En ajoutant ce simple mot, la perspective s'ouvre, la pression retombe et le cerveau se remet en mode solution.Prenons l'exemple concret d'un athlète en pleine compétition. S'il aborde son match en se répétant : « Je craque toujours sous la pression », il monte sur le terrain avec de l'appréhension, de la tension physique et une forme de résignation biologique. En revanche, s'il reformule sa pensée par : « Je suis en train d'apprendre à gérer la pression », il bascule instantanément dans une logique de progression. Il s'autorise à tester, à s'adapter et à grandir. La croyance dicte directement notre comportement : là où une certitude limitante ferme les portes, une pensée aidante redonne du mouvement, nourrit la confiance et autorise l'erreur. Changer de croyance, ce n'est pas se mentir ou s'inventer une vie ; c'est décider d'ouvrir une possibilité. Et c'est précisément ce micro-détail qui redessine toute une trajectoire.

Shit Like A Man, ManRemember watching metamucil ads on TV as a kid and thinking, fiber is for old people? Well, we've all gotten older since those days, and we need to start taking fiber seriously! Thats where Nootropics Depot's new InfiniFiber comes in. Fiber is essential for the health of our microbiome, which governs far more of our body's processes than digestion alone. A healthy microbiome allows us to digest food and absorb nutrients, build muscle and prevent weight gain, and maintain a strong immune system with the help of healthy bacteria. Tune into the new podcast episode and learn about how important fiber is for our day to day lives, the inspiration behind InfiniFiber, and why supporting your microbiome promotes world peace.

Sex hormones shape cardiovascular risk in subtle yet powerful ways. From estrogen-driven changes in coagulation to formulation-specific differences in VTE risk, the nuance matters. Transdermal estradiol offers a safer path, while ethinyl estradiol reminds us that dose and route are destiny. The key is not avoidance—but precision: matching therapy to individual risk. Three takeaways: • Formulation matters • First year matters • Patient factors matter #Cardiology #Thrombosis #PrecisionMedicine #HormoneTherapy

We often hear about powerful skincare ingredients like Retinol, Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid but what many people don't realise is that the ingredient itself is only part of the story. In this episode we're e're talking about something that can completely change how you understand skincare: formulation Two products can content the same ingredient and deliver completely different results. Why? Because how ingredients are combined, stabilised and delivered into the skin matters just as much as the ingredient itself.In the episode, we discuss:What a skincare formulation actually isWhy ingredients alone don't guarantee results Why some products irritate the skin while others support itHow formulations affects ingredient stability and penetrationWhy good skincare supports the skin barrier rather than overwhelming itUnderstanding formulation helps you choose skincare more intelligently rather than just chasing trending ingredients.Because great skincare isn't just about what's in the bottle…… it's about how it designed to work with your skin

George Wright II interviews Jake Hadlock, founder and owner of Nutrient, a fast-growing contract manufacturer, and host of the Bottom Line podcast/YouTube show. Jake shares his path into supplements through his grandfather's influence, early work in marketing at a supplement brand, and a shift toward product development and formulation consulting that led to building a manufacturing business. They discuss how many supplement products are similar and how brand, marketing, and team execution often separate winners, while long-term success still depends on product experience and efficacy. Jake explains why proprietary blends can be misleading, how ingredients are listed from greatest to least within a blend, and how brands may “fairy dust” desirable ingredients. 00:37 Jake's Origin Story: Family, Formulation & Finding the Path02:11 Behind the Scenes of Supplements: What Really Sets Brands Apart03:50 Proprietary Blends Explained: ‘Fairy Dusting' & Label Red Flags06:55 What Makes Companies Last: Innovation, Trends & Staying Ahead08:37 AI in Formulation: Faster Copycats vs Real-World Product Experience10:06 Efficacy vs Compliance vs Marketing: How Brands Play the Game12:06 The Operator Mindset: Supply Chain, Production & Making It Work14:50 Scaling Nutrient: Building the Team, SOPs & Systems to GrowThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

Welcome back to Episode #199 of the PricePlow Podcast! Today we’re diving deep into the science and innovation behind functional proteins with Brad Meyers, VP of Functional Proteins and Snacking at Glanbia. This conversation explores how the supplement and functional foods industry is evolving to meet growing consumer demands for higher protein, lower sugar products that actually taste good, all while navigating the rapid market transformation driven by GLP-1 medications and changing lifestyles. Brad brings over 20 years of food ingredients experience to the table, including a fascinating background in sweeteners and natural ingredients before specializing in proteins. In this episode, we explore the food science fundamentals that make or break protein-fortified products, from understanding Maillard browning reactions to solving the infamous protein bar hardness problem. We also get an inside look at Glanbia’s extensive applications lab capabilities, including their OvenPro platform specifically designed for high-protein baked goods, and discuss innovative future product concepts that could reshape on-the-go protein consumption.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Denise Vasi, founder and creative force behind MAED, for a thoughtful conversation about building beauty with intention, patience, and care. Denise's path into the industry began early—signed to Ford Models and immersed in on-set artistry long before social media shaped beauty culture. Those formative years, paired with memories of her grandmother's at-home esthetic rituals, planted the seed for a philosophy rooted in preparation, respect, and craft.Before MAED ever existed, Denise built something rarer than hype: community. Through years of honest storytelling around wellness, motherhood, and clean living, she created a dialogue with women who trusted her voice. That trust shaped MAED's slow, deliberate evolution. Rather than chasing trends or speed, Denise chose to listen—developing products only when they solved real, lived problems.At the heart of the brand is a deceptively complex product: the red lip. Denise unpacks why most formulas fail—dryness, poor undertones, and exclusion baked into development—and how MAED set out to fix that. Comfort came first, followed by rigorous testing across skin tones, lip shapes, ages, and backgrounds. Inclusivity, she explains, isn't a campaign—it's formulation, design, and function.Central to MAED's ethos is one guiding principle: care before color. Lips lack oil glands and cannot repair themselves without real barrier support. MAED's formulas focus on hydration, resilience, and wear—so color performs because the foundation is healthy.Beyond product, the conversation explores beauty as ritual and self-expression. The red lip becomes more than pigment—it's confidence, protection, and presence.Listen to the full episode to hear Denise Vasi share the philosophy behind MAED, the science of lip health, and why meaningful beauty innovation starts with care—not trends.SHOP MAED and learn more on their social media!CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction & Welcoming Denise Vasi(0:59) - Early Career: Modeling, Beauty Sets & Formative Influences(2:16) - Building Community Through Editorial & Made.co(4:48) - Slow Beauty, Brand Intention & Resisting Trend Cycles(7:13) - Reimagining the Modern Red Lip(8:04) - Formulation, Testing & True Inclusivity(12:16) - What Inclusivity Really Means in Beauty(16:30) - Lip Health, Barrier Science & Care-First Formulation(23:10) - Care Before Color & The Cultural Power of a Red LipPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

A quote attributed to Hippocrates says “all disease begins in the gut.” No surprise, then, that gut-heal tea is a major part of our practice! We work with this formula – or better said, this schema for creating individualized formulae – very, very often. It's not only a ‘digestive' blend, it's also a nervine formula: it operates at the nexus between the digestive and nervous systems.But we don't prepare it the same way every time! Variation is essential to make a blend that best suits a person's body and needs. Today's episode of the Holistic Herbalism Podcast is all about this flexibility in formulation.We can adjust the blend based on the person's energetics, the desired actions of the herbs, and special affinities they have. While we must avoid creating a ‘kitchen sink' of insufficiently intentional herbs, there's plenty of room for addressing the specific patterns in each person.Here are the specific versions of gut-heal tea formulae we explored in this episode:“the original” gut-heal teacalendula (Calendula off.) flowerplantain (Plantago major) leafpeppermint (Mentha piperita) leafchamomile (Matricaria recutita) flowerginger (Zingiber officinale) rhizomefennel (Foeniculum vulgare) seedlicorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) roota gut-heal tea for the holidays1 part calendula (Calendula off.)1 part chamomile (Matricaria recutita)1/2 part rose petals (Rosa spp.)1/2 part yarrow (Achillea millefolium)1 part damiana (Turnera diffusa)1 part wood betony (Stachys off.)1/2 part fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)1/2+ part ginger (Zingiber off.)5 or 6 cardamom pods (Elettaria cardamomum)katja's current gut-heal teaself-heal (Prunella vulgaris)chamomile (Matricaria recutita)betony (Stachys off.)catnip (Nepeta cataria)ginger (Zingiber off.)tulsi (Ocimum sanctum)ryn's current gut-heal teayarrow (Achillea millefolium)saint john's wort (Hypericum perforatum)centaury (Centaurium erythraea)peppermint (Mentha x piperita)ginger (Zingiber off.)plantain (Plantago major)catnip (Nepeta cataria)fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)rooibos (Aspalathus linearis)jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum)gotu kola (Centella asiatica)lungwort (Pulmonaria off.)We dive into gut-heal tea most fully in our Digestive Health course, though as you'll understand after you've heard this episode, it's also really relevant to Neurological & Emotional Health.For more principles & strategies of formulation, check out our Fundamentals of Formulation course!

Was Hunter really running the White House? He played Biden a few times. Here's why we don't believe it. Ron Klain was in charge of Ebola, the auto pen, plus he was chief of staff. Liz Warren is bigger than you think. Pay attention to the silence gaps. Anita Dunn was heavily involved, and has ties to Obot. So much money was made on the side. Big news coming from NATO. The old guard has been largely dismantled. Dims do it to themselves. Conspiracy theory cultists. Eco terrorism should be carefully watched by all. Congress is not doing what they are supposed to do. Desperation makes them pull out all the stops. Doing good for the country gets you destroyed. Now, we will see the concerning pockets of action. Hunter's is the fall guy. Anti Trump narrative is raging. People on the right are caught up in tax graft of all kinds. Trust now comes hard. J6 was an operation. There are just two reasons for proximity. Karen, Anita and Harry. All Dunn's. June is not going to be nice. Have faith. This has all been orchestrated. It's not looking good for a lot of people. Remember, it's above us to gloat, and always remain focused on pursuing the truth.
Have you been studying herbs for a while, but you still feel unsure about how to combine them into an effective formula? Or maybe you're newer to herbalism and ready to dive into the art and science of formulation? Formulation is one of my favorite parts of herbal medicine, so I'm excited to kick off a new series called The Anatomy of a Formula. I love the synergy that emerges when herbs are combined in intelligent, intentional ways—and the specificity you can achieve when formulating for a particular person. It's both powerful and fun. However, for budding herbalists, formulation can initially feel daunting and a little confusing. Without some kind of framework or guidance, many people end up just tossing a bunch of herbs into a bottle and hoping it works. That's not an ideal approach because you're essentially leaving your therapeutics to chance. Instead, approach formulation with strategy, intention, and precision, tailored to the individual you're working with. Here's what we'll cover in this post: • A brief history of formulation in North American herbalism • Formulation challenges and how to fix the problem • The foundations of herbal formulas: pairs and triplets • The anatomy of an effective formula ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at: http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/ Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/ Shop our herbal products: https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/ ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine. With perspectives gleaned from traditional Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Alchemy, Medical Astrology, and traditional cultures from around the world, The Plant Path provides unique insights, skills and strategies for the practice of true holistic herbalism. From clinical to spiritual perspectives, we don't just focus on what herbs are "good for," but rather who they are as intelligent beings, and how we can work with them to heal us physically and consciously evolve. ———————————— ABOUT SAJAH ———————————— Sajah Popham is the author of Evolutionary Herbalism and the founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, where he trains herbalists in a holistic system of plant medicine that encompasses clinical Western herbalism, medical astrology, Ayurveda, and spagyric alchemy. His mission is to develop a comprehensive approach that balances the science and spirituality of plant medicine, focusing on using plants to heal and rejuvenate the body, clarify the mind, open the heart, and support the development of the soul. This is only achieved through understanding and working with the chemical, energetic, and spiritual properties of the plants. His teachings embody a heartfelt respect, honor and reverence for the vast intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper into the nature of our medicines and ourselves. He lives on a homestead in the foothills of Mt. Baker Washington with his wife Whitney where he teaches, consults clients, and prepares spagyric herbal medicines. ———————————— WANT TO FEATURE US ON YOUR PODCAST? ———————————— If you'd like to interview Sajah or Whitney to be on your podcast, click here to fill out an interview request form.
On this eye-opening episode of Vitality Radio, Jared breaks down the part of the supplement label most people ignore: other Ingredients. While active ingredients get all the attention, it's often the excipients—binders, fillers, flow agents, coatings, and colorants—that determine whether your supplement is truly clean and effective. Jared exposes why manufacturers use these "inactive" ingredients, how they impact product quality, and which common additives you should avoid. You'll learn how to read this overlooked section of your supplement label and become an informed, empowered consumer.Additional Information:#525: Decoding Supplement Fact Panels and Becoming a More Informed ConsumerOther Ingredients Breakdown Blog PostVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.
