Is alcohol losing its grip as the go-to social drink? Enter kava—a centuries-old Polynesian plant that's gaining global recognition for its ability to relax the mind, elevate mood, and enhance social connection without the toxic effects of alcohol. Kava, particularly in the form of TRU KAVA, is a psychoactive yet non-intoxicating drink that offers the perfect balance of calm focus and mental clarity. In this episode, Dave Asprey welcomes Cameron George, founder of TRU KAVA, to discuss why kava is becoming the drink of choice for those seeking a healthier, more connected lifestyle. Learn how kava impacts neurotransmitters like GABA and dopamine, enhances creativity and emotional grounding, and even helps the body recover from stress and trauma. Discover why kava is taking center stage in the biohacking and sober-curious movements as a new tool for wellness and connection. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: • Why 41% of Americans and 61% of Gen Z are drinking less alcohol • What kava is, how it works, and its history as a ceremonial and social beverage • The science behind kava's calming and neuroprotective effects • How kava supports creativity, emotional resilience, and authentic social connection • Practical uses for kava, including stress relief, sleep enhancement, and travel recovery Resources: • 2025 Biohacking Conference – https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • TRU KAVA – https://www.trukava.com • TRU KAVA Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/trukava • Danger Coffee – https://dangercoffee.com • Danger Coffee Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/dangercoffeeofficial/ • Dave Asprey's Website – https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey's Book: Smarter Not Harder – https://daveasprey.com/books • Dave Asprey's Linktree – https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective: Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live – https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs – https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs – https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback training for advanced cognitive enhancement – https://40yearsofzen.com Sponsors: -Quantum Upgrade |Go to https://quantumupgrade.io/Dave for a free trial. -Timeline | Head to https://www.timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order.

I've known Beth for many years, and I knew from experience that the two of us were going to have a lively conversation! It was a joy to sit down with her to discuss kava - a plant that has been supporting her since day one of her herbal journey, and one that I have also found to be super helpful in times of stress and anxiety. Beth has gotten to know this plant so well that her friends sometimes even refer to her as the Kava Queen!Beth has worked with kava in so many different ways, from tinctures to powders and even chocolate bars! One of her favorite ways to take kava is in her delicious smoothie recipe, which she calls Kava Kolada. You'll find a beautifully illustrated recipe card here, so that you can give it a try too: https://bit.ly/3YBeQQJBy the end of this episode, you'll know:► How kava can help you lower your walls and speak from your heart► Why kava is so great during times of grief, stress, and anxiety► Five different herbal preparations for kava► An unusual way that kava affects you - and how that might help you when you go to the dentist!► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Beth's love of nature came from growing up on her family farm. She spent years walking the woods collecting treasures (bluebells being her favorite), and "sucking the sugar" out of red clover blossoms. A sun worshipper at heart, at 26 she fled the snow & moved to the desert. There she discovered the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA), where she studied herbalism, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy, astrology & more. She graduated with an Associate's Degree in Holistic Healthcare with a specialty in Western Herbalism, taught by the brilliant herbalist JoAnn Sanchez. She worked for Whole Foods, herb shops, Dr. Hauschka, SWIHA, and many herb companies, and she taught herb classes. In 2009, life led her to Austin, and her dream of owning an herb shop came true.

Letter from Helvetica: Fiction Podcast

Andrew Mackintosh (DS Greig)makes his long-awaited return to acting in a brand new fiction podcast! "Letter from Helvetica" is based on a novel that Andrew wrote in his spare time over a four-year period. In a blinding flash of unadulterated genius – albeit one that took about ten years to gestate – he realised that it would make a splendid podcast. With good fortune, he managed to persuade fellow The Bill alumnus Natalie Roles (DS McAllister) into playing the role of Abigail, and entice Oliver Crocker (The Bill Podcast) into producing it. Letter from Helvetica is a humorous ‘epistolary' novel that takes the form of emails exchanged between Abigail Wesley, a talented young botanist from Surrey, and her Uncle John, an acerbic retired Lieutenant Colonel who lives in the not quite real village of Helvetica in Cornwall. Abigail has been sent by her employer to research, among other things, Kava-Kava root on the ever so slightly made-up island of Burbango, a tiny speck of dormant volcano nestling among the 83 islands that make up the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu. Having tasked her with spending a whole year away from her home, her kindly boss has agreed for her to be accompanied by her husband and three young children. John Stotter, a retired Lieutenant Colonel, lives in a rambling old house in the tiny village of Helvetica that skulks in the far Western reaches of Cornwall. Uncle to Abigail, the two enjoy a relationship that is considerably closer than that she has ever had with her father. Sharing a similar outlook on life and a similar sense of humour, they resolve to write to each other regularly during her sojourn in the Southern Hemisphere. Letter from Helvetica is the collected chronicles, tales, musings and canards that constitute their correspondence, introducing us along the way to a veritable mishmash, jumble and salmagundi of diverse characters. It takes a wry look at the nature of village life and turns on its head some of our preconceptions regarding what is ‘civilised' and what is ‘primitive'. And it takes a sideways glance at the sometimes peculiar and complex relationships with clothing that different cultures develop, even when clothing offers no discernible benefit. We have a Crowdfund live on Indiegogo, where there are multiple Bill-related perks to claim - and we are almost at 90% of our target to be able to produce the first series!

My guest today is Scott Conger, the Mayor of Jackson, Tennessee. Jackson is a city in and the county seat of Madison County, Tennessee. Located 70 miles east of Memphis. Latest estimates the total population of Jackson to be approximately 67,000. Scott has been the Mayor of Jackson for a few years now and is actually the 3rd person in his family to serve as Mayor of Jackson. At 35, Conger became the youngest mayor of the City of Jackson, Tennessee, beating out his opponent Jerry Woods by over 3,000 votes. Mayor Conger was one of the first US elected officials to publicly embrace Bitcoin. Over the years, Mayor Conger has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the long-term prosperity of the Jackson, Tennessee community. Mayor Conger views Bitcoin as an ideal way for his city to secure its financial future as well as to encourage young remote tech workers to lay down roots in Jackson. Mayor Conger follows three principles when navigating his role as a leader in local government: transparency, efficiency and inclusion. These principles shine through our conversation. We cover the latest infrastructure bill and the possible implications on the crypto industry, the importance of local politics, and Bitcoin. We discuss the infrastructure bill and some inside baseball about how local politicians can influence national politicians. Mayor Conger explains how Jackson Tennessee is running a fiscal surplus and how they are incentivizing people to move to Jackson. Mayor Conger goes on to stress the importance of citizens having access to fast internet and why broadband should be classified as a basic utility. We discuss why the biggest problem facing progress is single interest groups. A very memorable moment in the conversation was when Mayor Conger talks about how even though his campaign was underfunded compared to his opponent, he was still able to win by being more strategic about his marketing and ultimately more impactful. The story illustrates the power of the internet and network effects but more importantly it demonstrates that stories are what drive people to action. We finish our conversation with a deep dive on local politics by discussing the structure of local politics, the importance of local politics, and how to get involved.

The Newest Info on PTSD and Healing Trauma

Your Amazing Life!

The effects that Trauma has on you is very real. Sometimes we don't even know that trauma has occurred. It could be that it has been blocked from memory. It could be that you just don't understand or have recognized it. So, let's answer the question: what is trauma? Trauma is an experience that leaves a lasting negative impact on your behaviors, relationships, thoughts, or feelings. They can come from a list that is still incomplete as there are still people around. Trauma can come from experiences, you might be experiencing them if you have had to deal with abuse, death, loss, or betrayal. Just as each of us can have something different cause the trauma but each person can experience it differently. It is not helpful to compare or contrast yourself with anyone around you. It is important for us to recognize what the triggers are. Then how you experience and respond to what has happened to you. In order to move past a trauma, you must first be out of the situation. You must be safe before any type of healing can happen. Safety means you have a place where you will not be re-traumatized. It also means that you will feel loved and accepted. A “Safe Place” is one free from bias, abuse of any kind, conflict, criticism, or potentially threatening actions, ideas, conversations or violence. You deserve to be safe. You deserve to be in a place that you feel no abuse or violence in. Do you have a safe place to go to leave behind the traumas that you have faced? Do you have a strong and compassionate person that can lead you safely through the experience, and remove the memories from every part of your body? Another way to overcome PTSD is to get healthy. This means eating and drinking the correct things. It also means movement. I know I sound like a broken record, but movement, sleep, and healthy eating have a huge impact on most every part of your life. Reducing or removing caffeinated and sugary tasting drinks will make a difference that you will mostly likely not expect. Inflammatory foods contribute to feelings of anxiety and restlessness. Reducing sugar can help. Movement creates the right hormones and transmitters in your body to help you feel happier. Getting healthy will put you on the road to happiness. I have talked with you about the importance of nutrition in many of our episodes. Goto https://kengerber.kyani.com/ There are alternatives to medications that can also be used. Medications have down sides and they cause side effects. Medications may cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, weight gain, drowsiness, sedation, constipation, and dry mouth. Now herbal treatments can reduce anxiety and depression and are less likely to have side effects. Feverfew and butterbur can be used to treat migraines associated with PTSD. Drinking the following teas may be able to contribute to reducing anxiety and stress: peppermint, turmeric, ginger, Ashwagandha, Kava Kava, Chamomile, passion flower, lemon balm, and rose tea. These natural options can be helpful with overcoming PTSD. Working through the trauma is also a big help in overcoming PTSD. While working through the traumatic events you will want to work through them on a cellular level throughout your body. This will get rid of the memories. This will help you to overcome the hard-wired survival strategies based on flight, flight, freeze or please responses are hard to break away from. Without overcoming the trauma on a cellular level, you could still fall back into old mind-body-brain patterns.

Welcome to the Power Plant Podcast! Know your enemy! In this episode we'll talk about Stress and ways to combat it through herbal nutrition. We discuss the physical effects of stress as well as the warning signs. We will discuss different ways to regulate the nervous system and recommend some powerful herbs and extracts to combat fatigue. In this episode we will be taking calls from John in New York, who has a high stress job and can't seem to turnoff the mental chatter after work hours. We'll also hear from Sharon in Washington DC, who also has a very demanding job and is looking for a natural way to combat stress. Last we will hear from Lucy in Portland who lost her job, has two kids and is looking for something to help with focus as well as combat stress.    This show is sponsored by Dr. Vim's Herbal Nutrition. Dr. Vim's herbal formulas are designed for men and women to  mental focus, physical energy, stress reduction and a healthy libido. They use only filler free high potency botanical extracts. ensuring that every batch delivers a full dose of the most powerful phytonutrients on the planet.    Podcast 2: Stress: 3 types of stress responses: Social Engagement Mobilization Immobilization   1. Social engagement - our most evolved strategy for keeping ourselves feeling calm and safe. Since the vagus nerve connects the brain to sensory receptors in the ear, eye, face and heart, socially interacting with another person can calm you down and deescalate a “fight-or-flight” type response. When using social engagement you can think clearly, and body functions such as digestion, the immune system, blood pressure, and heartbeat continue to work normally. 2. Mobilization -commonly referred to as "fight-or-flight" response. When social engagement is no longer an appropriate response and we need to either defend ourselves or run away from danger, the body prepares for mobilization. It releases hormones and neurotransmitters to provide the energy you need to protect yourself. When this happens, body functions such as digestive function and immune function, stop working. Under normal conditions, when the danger has passed your nervous system calms the body, the heart rate and blood pressure normalize, and the body goes back into balance. 3. Immobilization - the least evolved response to stress and used by the body only when social engagement and mobilization have failed. You may find yourself traumatized or frozen in an angry, panic-stricken or otherwise dysfunctional state. In extreme, life-threatening situations, you may even lose consciousness or find yourself enabled to survive high levels of physical pain. However, until you’re able to deescalate to a mobilization response, your nervous system may be unable to return to its pre-stress state of balance.   Inappropriate Stress Response!! While it’s not always possible to respond to stress using social engagement, many of us have become conditioned to responding to every minor stressor by immediately resorting to fight or flight. Since this response interrupts other body functions and clouds judgment and feeling, over time it can cause stress overload and have a detrimental effect on both your physical and mental health. Effects of stress overload The body’s autonomic nervous system often does a poor job of distinguishing between daily stressors and life-threatening events. For example: you have a mild, low level stress situation in life and have a stress response like you’re facing a life-or-death situation. When you repeatedly experience the fight or flight stress response in your daily life, it can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, speed up the aging process and leave you vulnerable to a host of mental and emotional problems.   Health problems which are caused or exacerbated by stress include: Pain of any kind Heart disease Digestive problems Sleep problems Depression Weight problems Auto immune diseases Skin conditions, such as eczema   Common warning signs of chronic stress: Memory Problems Inability to concentrate Poor judgements Moodiness Sense of loneliness and isolation Depression or general unhappiness Aches and pains Digestive problems Nausea Chest pain or rapid heartbeat Loss of libido Weakened immune function Eating more or less Sleeping problems Substance abuse   Power Plants that promote a healthy stress response:   Energizing herbs for stress management 1. Ashwagandha - The flagship herb of Ayurveda supports healthy adrenal function, energy, and mental focus. Ashwagandha (KSM-66) has been clinically researched and is backed by several randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled human clinical trials to support a multitude of body function.

Passion Flower - Native to southeastern parts of the Americas, Passionflower is now grown throughout Europe and in the United States.  It has been used historically as a calming herb for anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and hysteria and is still used today to alleviate anxiety and insomnia. Scientists believe Passionflower works by increasing levels of GABA, a calming neurotransmitter, in the brain.  Although it can be used as a stand alone herb, it commonly found in herbal infusions with other herbs such as Valerian, Lemon Balm, and Chamomile to promote sleep or relaxation. 9. L - Theanine - not an herb per se, L - Theanine is an amino acid found in green and black teas. It's famous for it's ability to promote alphawave activity in the brain resulting in a feeling of relaxation and mental clarity.  L-Theanin is an excellent choice for stress support, focus, or calming down before bedtime. 10.

It is important to research Kava before using it, especially if you have a history of liver problems, because it has been associated with liver problems in the past.      Key Word Definitions:  Adaptogen - a nontoxic substance and usually a plant extract that is used to increase the body's ability to resist the damaging effects of stress and promote or restore homeostasis. Tonic -  A remedy believed to restore exhausted function and promote vigor and a sense of well-being. Tonics are categorized according to the organ or system on which they are presumed to act, as cardiac, kidney, adrenal, vascular etc. Neurotransmitter - a substance  that transmits nerve impulses across a synapse.  Some neurotransmitters are inhibitory (calming) such as GABA and some are exitotory (stimulating) like dopamine. Serotonin -  An important neurotransmitter that has many functions including the regulation of mood, appetite, and sleep. Serotonin also plays a role in cognitive functions, including memory and learning. The modulation of serotonin at synapses is believed to be a major factor in several classes of pharmacological antidepressants. GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) - the main inhibitory or calming neurotransmitter in the brain, GABA influences our mood by reducing high levels of the hormones adrenalin, noradrenalin and dopamine. It also affects the neurotransmitter serotonin. Having sufficient GABA in our brain is linked to being relaxed and happy, while having too little GABA is associated with sleep problems, and feeling anxious, stressed, and depressed. Tryptophan - as a precursor to many neurotransmitters and neurochemicals, including serotonin and melatonin, L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that helps improve sleep and reduce stress. Melatonin is known to help improve sleep, and serotonin is needed to improve mood and mental health. Cortisol - Cortisol is a steroid-based hormone and is synthesized from cholesterol and belongs to a group of hormones called glucocorticoids. Cortisol is made in the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland, which is near the kidney. It is the primary stress hormone.  It's functions are to increase sugars (glucose) in the bloodstream, enhance your brain's use of glucose and to increases the availability of substances for tissue repair.  Cortisol also curbs functions that would be nonessential or detrimental in a fight-or-flight situation. It alters immune system responses and suppresses the digestive system, the reproductive system and growth processes. It alerts regions in your brain that control mood, motivation and fear. Stimulant - a substance that temporarily increases the physiologic activity of an organ, a system of organs, or that increases nervous excitability and alertness. Adrenal Gland - One of two small endocrine glands, located above each kidney. The outer part, or adrenal cortex, secretes steroid hormones (corticosteroids). The inner part, or adrenal medulla, secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) - The current name for an ancient system of health care from China. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on a concept of balanced qi (pronounced "chi"), or vital energy, that is believed to flow throughout the body. Qi is proposed to regulate a person's spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance and to be influenced by the opposing forces of yin (negative energy) and yang (positive energy). Disease is proposed to result from the flow of qi being disrupted and yin and yang becoming imbalanced. Among the components of TCM are herbal and nutritional therapy, restorative physical exercises, meditation, acupuncture, and remedial massage. Ayurveda - The traditional Hindu system of health and medicine, based on maintaining balance among the five elements earth, air, fire, water, and  ether.  The word Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words “ayur,” meaning life, and "veda,” meaning knowledge. Homeostasis - The tendency of biological systems to maintain relatively constant conditions in the internal environment while continuously interacting with and adjusting to changes originating within or outside the system.   Function Nutrition: B- vitamins (Folate, B-12, etc.) - a group of water-soluble vitamins that have varied metabolic functions and include coenzymes and growth factors. These essential nutrients allow us to convert our food into fuel, keeping us energized throughout the day. Vitamin B5 is very important for the adrenals and therefore helps with modulating stress. Folate and vitamin B12 are important for mood balance, and given the links between anxiety and depression, they may also be helpful for anxiety. B-6 - an important co-factor nutrient that may boost the production of GABA, a calming neurotransmitter.  GABA is  a key factor supporting the production of other neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) such as serotonin. When supplementing with B-6, the conenzyme or active form (pyridoxal 5'-phosphate) is superior to the isolated form (Pyridoxine), because some people can't activate pyridoxine. Folate - Folate has literally hundreds of function in the human body. It helps the body use Iron, Amino Acids, and Vitamin B-12, thus impacting energy on many levels.  It facilitates the synthesis of key neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, that are involved in mood regulation and other important functions. Magnesium - Magnesium is needed for the production of ATP, which is the main energy-producing molecule in the body. When magnesium is deficient our cells produce less energy resulting in fatigue. Magnesium is also the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body, a necessary co-factor for hundreds of enzymes, and the most critical mineral of all for coping with stress. Lithium - Lithium is a mineral that is associated with brain function, mood, focus, and the neurotransmitters dopamine.  It has a wide range of other health benefits including immune health, bone health, and antioxidant support. Zinc - Supports the regulation of key energizing neurotransmitter, dopamine, that supports cognitive function and gives you your drive. It is also key in the metabolization of melatonin, which impacts our quality of sleep.  It's also essential for male and female reproductive health and fertility.  It also impacts strength and athletic performance by regulating the flow testosterone and inulin-like growth growth factor-1 (IGF-1). It's noteworthy that the highest concentrations of zinc found in the body is in our brain! It is a principal factor in modulating the brain and body’s response to stress and key to regulating mood.  Selenium - Support thyroid health and supports hormonal balance impacting energy on many levels. Omega 3's (Fish Oils and Algae) - Essential fatty acids that support a healthy inflammation response, combat depression and promote healthy mood and cognitive function.  Omega 3's also support adrenal function and provide hormone support.  Maintaining healthy a adrenal function is imperative for proper stress management. Lifestyle: Sleep, Diet, Personal Relationships, and Exercise all impact how we feel, how we cope with stress, and how much energy we have.  It's important to not overlook the obvious.  Sleep hygiene -  simple habits that promote quality sleep. Prioritize sleep.  Get what ever it is your body requires (7-9 hrs generally). Try to go to sleep around 10pm, when cortisol levels are at their lowest and melatonin levels are at their highest. Stop eating 2 hours before bedtime, and stop hydrating at least an hour before bedtime.  Create at dark environment to sleep in.  Avoid light before bedtime, including T.V., computers, and smart devices that emit light.  You can even dim the lights ahead of time when you're ready to unwind. Try not to hit that snooze button in the morning.  We don't want to interrupt our hormone and neurotransmitter cycles. Avoid the use stimulants, especially in the afternoon and evening.  Diet - No matter what herbs and supplements you take, you still have to support your body with healthy eating habits. Poor eating habits stress our bodies out and may even affect our mood. Eat lots of fresh fruits and especially vegetables.  Try to get the full color spectrum when selecting fruits and vegetables.  Complete nutrition is essential for stress, mood, and energy support.  We've already mentioned key vitamins, minerals, Omega 3's, etc.  Try to find foods rich in these valuable nutrients that support healthy energy levels and promote a healthy stress response.  You can reference the functional nutrition list above to narrow down your search. Exercise - Try and get a moderate amount of fresh air, sunlight, and exercise.  Don't over exercise! The goal is to promote health, and over training can deplete the adrenal and negatively impact your stress and energy levels negatively.  Do it, but don't over do it! Toxic Relationships - Social engagement is the most evolved way to cope with stress. That's why it is so important to surround yourself with people who do not normally add to your stress load.  If simply being around a particular person provokes a fight or flight response, chances are that's a Toxic Relationship!  Always look to build a strong supporting cast of good people to de-stress with.
