Fatty Liver, GLP-1s, Alcohol, Hormones, Brain Fog, Weight Gain & Longevity Host Dave Asprey sits down with Siggi Clavien, Founder and CEO of The Liver Clinic and de-liver-ance, to explore why the liver may be one of the most overlooked organs in metabolism, hormone health, detoxification, brain function, weight management, and longevity. Siggi explains why fatty liver can develop without obvious symptoms and why someone can appear lean and healthy while still have significant liver fat. Drawing on thousands of liver scans, he shares what his team has observed in people whose blood markers appeared normal despite signs of fatty liver on imaging, and explains how tools such as FibroScan can reveal liver fat, stiffness, and fibrosis. Dave and Siggi go deep into triglycerides, cholesterol, insulin resistance, brain fog, weight gain, bile production, thyroid hormone activation, testosterone, estrogen metabolism, and liver regeneration. They also explore how alcohol, environmental chemicals, plastics, processed foods, artificial sweeteners, medications, and other exposures may place additional stress on the liver. The conversation also tackles rapid weight loss and GLP-1 medications, including Siggi's concerns about compounds released from fat tissue during aggressive weight loss and why protecting muscle, eating enough protein, and supporting liver function may matter during the process. Dave and Siggi also discuss alcohol, estrogen, hormone replacement therapy, glutathione, choline, bile flow, supplement quality, and why liver health may influence systems throughout the body. The episode takes an unexpected turn into microchimerism and organ transplantation, including donor cells, DNA, cellular memory, and reported changes in behavior or personality after transplantation. This is essential listening for anyone interested in fatty liver, metabolic health, GLP-1s, weight loss, hormone health, estrogen, testosterone, thyroid function, alcohol, brain fog, insulin resistance, liver scans, longevity, choline, glutathione, bile flow, and biohacking. You'll Learn: Why fatty liver can develop even in people who are thin or rarely drink alcohol Why normal bloodwork may not always reveal what is happening inside the liver How liver health connects to metabolism, brain fog, weight gain, hormones, and thyroid function What rapid weight loss and GLP-1 use may mean for liver function How alcohol, estrogen, HRT, bile, choline, and glutathione interact with liver health Why liver scans, nutrition, and supplement quality may matter for long-term health Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind.

Three men in three countries and plenty of rambling this week as Andrew, Eddie and Iain convene to discuss events at the Presidents Cup, where the USA won by their now habitual method of storming the singles. They look back on the French Open where Matt Fitzpatrick continued his impressive year and Eddie gives us an update on his injury, preparing for one of his favourite events of the year as the clock ticks on his season. Andrew then decides to tell a story of intrigue, oil money and the SAS - all wrapped up in a golf course where nobody but Henrik Stenson occasionally plays.

In this episode, we explore one of the most haunting lines from Kurt Cobain's suicide note: “Why don't you just enjoy it?” and the devastating response: “I don't know.” We unpack why human beings struggle to feel joy through the lenses of neuroscience, psychology, evolution, trauma, addiction, overstimulation, and modern culture. From dopamine and cortisol to loneliness, achievement addiction, and the pressure to perform happiness, this episode examines why so many people feel disconnected from their own lives — and what history, philosophy, pop culture, and human connection reveal about truly feeling alive.Topics include:Why the brain adapts to pleasure and noveltyThe difference between stimulation and fulfillmentTrauma, stress, and the nervous system's impact on joyEvolutionary reasons humans struggle with contentmentWhy modern life can make us spectators instead of participantsThe role of relationships, meaning, awe, and shared strugglePop culture references from Nirvana to Black Mirror to Ted LassoHow to reconnect with ordinary moments and meaningful experiencesWhat we might say to someone who can't “just enjoy it”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

Um tema nada leve, mas necessário: as drogas legais podem fazer bem e curar, mas também podem causar dependência e até matar. Duas séries tratam desse assunto espinhoso: "Dopesick", em cartaz na Disney; e "Império da Dor" (Painkiller), na Netflix. Para falar mais sobre o tema, contamos neste episódio com a participação do Dr. Nelson Albuquerque de Souza e Silva, cardiologista e Professor Emérito da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ).Músicas - https://mixkit.co e https://pixabay.com/pt/music/:- You Got Jazz by Diego Nava- Gimme that Groove! by Michael Ramir C.- No Place To Go by SergePavkinMusic

What do you do when you have all the pieces of a great business but no clear horizon to aim them at?On this episode of Coffee and Coaching, Renee Velasquez is back on the hot seat. Renee has been in real estate since 2008 and has built an 18-plus year sphere-based business, plus an investment portfolio of seven short-term rental properties with an eighth potentially on the way. After caring for both of her parents through the end of their lives, she discovered a huge underserved opportunity: educating families through one of the most necessary, least talked about parts of real estate.Renee doesn't have a strategy problem. She has a clarity problem. We dig into why good is the enemy of great, why drifting kills momentum, and how a six-year horizon tied to her youngest child's graduation can become the BHAG that turns momentum into direction. I also walk Renee through an AI exercise to uncover her unfair advantage and design the fastest market test to prove people will pay for it.If you've ever felt like you have everything working but still can't name exactly where you're headed and by when, this episode is for you.Key Topics Covered* Renee's origin story: getting licensed in 2008 and weathering both the crash and COVID* Building a seven-property short-term rental portfolio alongside a sphere-based sales business* How caring for aging parents revealed an underserved community of families and adult children* The difference between a will that states intentions and the legal ability to carry them out* “The broccoli problem”: making necessary but unsexy content something people want to watch* Why 51% of home buyers now start their search on YouTube, and why most viewing happens on a TV* Why good is the enemy of great, and how drifting and complacency stall growth* Setting a BHAG: using a three-year and six-year horizon to create a dated destination* Painkiller vs. vitamin: the three things people actually pay for (money, time, and status)* An AI exercise to uncover your unfair advantage and design the cheapest market test for one real payment in seven days* The duality opportunity: a consumer-facing education play plus training that equips other agents to serve families with empathy“A vitamin can make you some money, but a painkiller gets you rich.” — John KitchensConnect With Us* Ready to find your own clarity?

In this episode, we explore the idea that meaning often comes after action. Inspired by a lyric from Robyn's new album Sexistential, we unpack the difference between therapy, philosophy, poetry, and relationships — and why artists, rappers, writers, and improvisers often don't fully understand what they're creating until after it's made.We discuss why overthinking can block transformation, how freestyle rap reveals unconscious truth, and why some of life's deepest insights can only be discovered through participation rather than analysis.Topics include:Therapy vs existential sufferingWhy philosophy answers different questions than psychologyFreestyling, flow states, and unconscious creativityCarl Jung, Sartre, Kierkegaard, and existentialismWhy meaning is often retrospectiveThe danger of waiting for certainty before taking actionRelationships as the ultimate test of self-awareness“You live your way into new thoughts”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

Brian, Brandon, and Aaron discuss enterprise AI adoption using the sales analogy of whether AI is a “vitamin” or a “painkiller,” arguing that successful transformation still requires a burning-platform event. Brandon suggests AI adoption resembles past digital transformations: without urgent pressure (e.g., a data center closing), organizations resist change and justify existing processes. Brian describes a compressed hype cycle from ChatGPT excitement to pilots and guardrails, followed by difficulties with data, cost-effective scaling, and making AI behave deterministically, while fear of competitors keeps efforts alive. They add a third category, “Whippets”, short-term, resume-driven initiatives led by leaders who leave others “holding the bag.” They debate examples like Sheetz' multiple VMs and argue that AI's promise is personal productivity, but note a lack of enterprise collaboration and shared-memory tools that limit organizational impact.SHOW: 1060SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Enterprise AI Show #1060 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/XZqomQosv1wSHOW LINKS:The Enterprise AI ShowSHOW SPONSORS:Nasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demoNordLayer - Use ENTERPRISE10 for 10% off.The thesis: Successful digital transformation usually has a forcing function; you migrate the data center because the real estate got sold, not because someone promised abstract savings. Deadline + shared incentive = people actually change. AI adoption mostly lacks that: no one's forcing the migration, so it defaults to "give everyone Copilot licenses and hope."Core question: If your business is healthy and there's no burning platform, how do you adopt AI in a way that's more than expensive theater, without a crisis to manufacture urgency?Discussion topics:Forcing functions vs. vibes: What are the AI-era equivalents of "the real estate got sold"? A support team that's actually understaffed, a process with a real bottleneck, a cost center leadership is already scrutinizing vs. a mandate to "use more AI."The unknown-unknowns problem: Most orgs don't know which of their workflows AI would actually help vs. where it's a novelty. How do you go find that out cheaply, without a company-wide token-burning experiment as the discovery mechanism?Bottom-up signal vs. top-down mandate: Does real usage data (who's actually using tools, for what) surface better targets than an executive committee guessing at use cases?Contrast with the failed "abstract savings" migration: What does an AI initiative look like when it's tied to a concrete, already-painful problem instead of a general efficiency narrative?The FOMO trap: Distinguishing "we don't want to miss the platform shift" (legitimate) from "we need AI headlines for the board" (theater), and how leadership can tell which one they're actually doing.Measurement: If there's no forcing function, what replaces the natural deadline/incentive alignment as the way you know it's working, or that it's time to kill it?Final ThoughtIs the right move small, cheap, bounded bets against known pain points, treating AI adoption like a search problem, not a rollout, rather than a company-wide transformation initiative looking for a reason to exist?FEEDBACK?Email: show @ the enterprise ai show dot comBluesky: @TheEntAIShow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @TheEntAIShowInstagram: @TheEntAIShow

In this episode, we explore why mystery isn't something to eliminate from life — it may be the very thing that keeps us moving, connecting, hoping, and growing. Beginning with a two-year mystery involving peanut shells appearing outside a house, the conversation expands into relationships, neuroscience, detective stories, fear, curiosity, and the courage to enter the unknown.Topics include:Why humans are drawn to mysteries, whodunits, crosswords, and haunted housesThe psychology of curiosity and how uncertainty activates the brainWhy new relationships feel electric and emotionally aliveThe difference between healthy mystery and painful uncertaintyHow “let's find out” can become a philosophy for livingWhy certainty can sometimes lead to boredom, paralysis, or emotional deadnessReflections on rejection, risk-taking, creativity, science, and wonderThe idea that hope only exists when the future remains unwrittenMysteries(Listen) Mistletoe Murders: https://shorturl.at/qftcN(Read) Fresh Water For Flowers: https://shorturl.at/mcjtL(Watch) Chestnut Man: https://shorturl.at/R5qxKThrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

What if feeling trapped isn't about having a bad life—but about having a life that leaves no room for you? Using Odysseus and The Odyssey, I explore the idea that sometimes we can have love, security, success, and comfort while still feeling profoundly disconnected from ourselves.Why Odysseus rejects Calypso's version of paradiseHow your greatest strengths can become sources of sufferingThe difference between wanting your life to end and wanting your current life to changeWhy boredom, burnout, and entrapment can be signs of lost agencyHow asking “Where do I get to be myself?” can become a first step toward finding a way forwardThrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

When a boss's email, meeting request, or tone of feedback feels disproportionately intense, it may not be about the present moment alone. For many people, workplace dynamics can quietly reactivate older emotional patterns tied to childhood experiences of criticism, invisibility, powerlessness, or conditional approval. This episode explores how that happens—and how to recognize when the nervous system is responding to the past, not just the job.In this episode:Why authority figures at work can unconsciously resemble early caregiversHow simple workplace feedback can trigger shame, fear, or collapseThe role of childhood experiences in shaping adult stress responsesWhy “professionalism” can sometimes override emotional self-protectionHow to tell the difference between present-day feedback and old emotional memoryWhat it means to stay grounded when the body reacts before the mind can interpretThrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

When intrusive thoughts feel like a war zone, the goal isn't to defeat every thought—it's to establish a ceasefire. Just as peace agreements are more likely to hold when neutral third parties monitor them, our mental peace is more sustainable when therapists, friends, journals, or mindfulness practices help us observe thoughts without escalating them.Key Takeaways: Intrusive thoughts can feel like repeated violations of an internal ceasefire.A neutral third party helps monitor, interpret, and de-escalate mental conflict.Therapists, trusted friends, journaling, and meditation can serve as peacekeepers.The goal is not to eliminate thoughts, but to prevent them from triggering emotional retaliation.Healing comes from creating distance between the thought and the response.Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

Walter Sterling dives deep into the unseen crises and bizarre cover-ups shaping our world. Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart reveals a terrifying national security threat: mysterious UFOs and drones are hovering over US nuclear power plants, and thanks to a massive legal loophole, armed security guards aren't allowed to shoot them down. Next, high school reporter Wyatt Sharpe brings an exclusive update on the unsettling, unsolved kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother. Plus, patient advocate Claudia Merandi exposes the shocking truth behind the chronic pain medication crisis, tearing into the CDC and the "gimmick clinics" exploiting suffering Americans while denying them proper care. Throw in a scandalous tale from a retired NYPD detective about a married cop getting busted for an affair in a middle school, some stomach-churning secrets about what is actually inside your favorite fast food, and a frustrated look back at ruined high school graduations, and you've got an unforgettable ride through the night.

Hope is often mistaken for a feeling of optimism, but for many people it looks much quieter: the decision to stay alive and keep going even when nothing feels certain. In this episode, we explore how hope is less about feeling inspired and more about choosing, day after day, to remain open to the possibility that life can change. Sometimes the most meaningful act is not thriving—it's surviving.Key TakeawaysHope is not a mood; it is a decision.You do not need certainty to keep going.Survival is a meaningful achievement.Choosing “one more day” is an act of courage.Staying alive preserves the possibility of connection, healing, and purpose.Quiet hope often sounds like: “I'm not done yet.”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

What happens after you finish the thing that gave your life structure and meaning? Whether it's writing a book, raising kids, winning a championship, or completing a major goal, the end of one chapter often leaves us feeling empty.

In this episode, I explore a simple but powerful idea: most of us aren't actually chasing happiness — we're trying to feel less miserable. When happiness becomes the goal, we overthink, compare, and pressure ourselves to feel a certain way. But when we shift the focus to reducing unnecessary suffering, life becomes more manageable, grounded, and sustainable.Instead of asking “How do I feel amazing?” we ask, “What's making life heavier than it needs to be?”Key takeaways:Why pursuing happiness can increase rumination and pressureHow high emotional expectations make normal days feel like failuresThe difference between happiness (a spike) and contentment (a baseline)How reducing cognitive load lowers day-to-day miseryTurning rumination into small, actionable movementFocusing on 1–3 priorities instead of overwhelming to-do listsChoosing meaningful connection over constant self-optimizationLowering the goal from “feel great” to “feel manageable”This episode isn't about forced positivity. It's about relief, proportion, and creating a life that feels lighter — not perfect.Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

In this episode, I reflect on James Baldwin's powerful insight that “a human being can only be saved by another human being,” and why 4 a.m. can be one of the most dangerous times to be alone with our thoughts. I explore how love, connection, and even the quiet presence of others can help us recognize that our lives are deeply intertwined—and that simply staying alive may be the greatest gift we give to the people around us.Why emotional pain often feels most overwhelming in the middle of the nightWhat Baldwin meant by “the miracle of love”Why drugs, alcohol, work, and distraction can soothe us but cannot truly save usHow Martin Short's grandchildren gave him a reason to keep goingThe ripple effect of our lives on partners, family, friends, and strangersHow we influence one another through our habits, consistency, and simple presencePractical questions to ask yourself when you're struggling at 4 a.m.Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

And how do you identify and implement the solution?In this episode, Yaniv Bernstein sits down with Rob Snyder – serial founder, fellow at Harvard Innovation Labs, operating partner on the venture side, and now author of 'The Power of PULL' – to discuss why most founders have fundamentally misunderstood demand, and how to accurately pinpoint it.

In this episode, I explore why failure is not something to hide, but something to study, share, and even celebrate. Drawing inspiration from the “Flops” exhibition at the Musée des Arts et Métiers, I look at how psychology, religion, science, and art all reveal the same truth: my mistakes are often the very things that shape my character, deepen my relationships, and point me toward a more meaningful life.Why failed products like BIC for Her and New Coke can teach us about resilienceThe psychology of growth mindset, self-compassion, and learning from mistakesHow traditions like Kintsugi and teshuvah honor repair over perfectionStories of famous failures from Thomas Edison to J.K. RowlingBooks, movies, songs, and poems that remind us to “fail better”Reflection questions to help me turn every flop into wisdom and purposeThrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

There's a marketing concept that applies directly to how nonprofits fundraise: some messages are painkillers, and some are vitamins. Painkillers solve immediate problems: urgent, scarce, make-or-break. Vitamins build something sustainable: aspirational, visionary, long-term. Most nonprofits accidentally built their entire fundraising strategy around one extreme or the other, and both extremes are costing them donors.In this episode, I break down the difference between painkiller and vitamin fundraising, when each one belongs in your strategy, and what happens when you overuse either. I also dig into the dangerous gray zone I call vague vitamin messaging, content that sounds nice, means nothing, and converts nobody. If your campaigns are flatlining, your donors are churning, or your monthly giving program isn't growing, this episode will show you exactly why and what to do instead.Topics:The painkiller vs. vitamin fundraising framework, and why most organizations are stuck in one extremeWhy chronic panic messaging trains donors to churn, distrust, and disappearWhat vague vitamin messaging looks like, and why it's just as dangerous as over-urgencyHow the Chicks for Change campaign hit 115% of its goal in under two weeks using a pure vitamin strategyWhy monthly giving is the ultimate vitamin, and what a small monthly donor program signals about your messagingHow to balance both painkiller and vitamin in a sustainable fundraising calendarFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

When a hard drive crashes, people will spend thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—of dollars to recover what they thought was lost. In this episode, I explore what data recovery can teach us about resilience, meaning, and suicide prevention.In this episode, I discuss:Why we often don't realize the value of something until it's goneHow our bodies, relationships, and memories are more fragile than we thinkThe surprising parallels between data recovery specialists and suicide hotline counselorsHow a single grain of dust—or a single thought—can cause outsized damageWhy emotional crises are often about imbalance rather than total failureThe idea that the story we create from loss may be more valuable than what we lostArticle referenced: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/04/27/when-your-digital-life-vanishesThrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

Send Sherry a Text MessageWhen life hurts, where do you turn?Food. Busyness. Social media. Serial dating. Avoiding the hard things. We all have our "fix"- something that helps numb the pain, distract us from reality, or make us feel better for a moment.But what happens when the fix isn't fixing anything?In this heartfelt and honest episode of It's a Single Mom Thing, Sherry explores the difference between temporary relief and lasting healing. Building on last week's episode, Healing Is an Assignment, she dives into the coping mechanisms we often reach for when life feels overwhelming and asks a powerful question:Can I trust God with the places I've been trying to manage myself?Through personal reflections, practical insights, and biblical encouragement, you'll discover why some fixes quietly become substitutes for God, why healing requires surrender, and how true freedom begins when we stop managing our pain and allow God to transform it.If you've ever found yourself running back to old patterns, struggling to let go, or wondering why healing feels so hard, this episode is for you.Because painkillers have a purpose.Band-aids have a purpose.But eventually the wound has to be cleaned if it's going to heal.You want God's best? Forget the rest. Let Him fix your fix.Resources Mentioned:

What do you do when depression and burnout disconnect you from the very things that once made you feel alive? In this episode, I explore why progress alone isn't enough—we need rest, play, and purpose to reconnect with ourselves and remember what makes life worth living.Key Takeaways:Depression often shows up as anhedonia—the inability to feel pleasure from things you still care about.Like my dog Mila, we can keep “walking” through life but still need play to avoid becoming restless and emotionally depleted.Action often comes before motivation; reconnecting starts with small acts of contact.A sustainable life requires a balance of rest, play, and purpose.Hope can sound as simple as: “I want to be here long enough to find out.”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

Every single person in his seven-day retreats produced their own endogenous opioids. Their own internal pharmacy of pain relief. Surgery didn't do it. Chemo didn't. Neither did the ketogenic diet, the vegan protocol, or the raw food plan. One intervention worked across 63 different chronic diseases. Meditation. He also shares that 84% of advanced meditators carry factors in their blood that actively stop cancer from spreading. And after seven days of immersive practice, 80% of participants begin expressing the same genes regardless of their individual backgrounds. The science is quiet and stunning. Your nervous system can heal you in ways medicine hasn't caught up to yet. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
