Protect Your Retirement W/ a Gold and/or Silver IRA: https://www.sgtreportgold.com/ or CALL( 877) 646-5347 - Noble Gold is Who I Trust   My wife and I met Thaddeus and Heidi at a popular restaurant and bar in our hometown and we quickly realized that have more in common with them than we do with many of our blood relatives. I'm sure many of you can relate! So I invited the minds behind the Primalhacker Podcast to join me to discuss all that ails we the people. Thanks for tuning in.   Primalhacker: https://primalhacker.com/ https://old.bitchute.com/video/Yu0fivxcs8xP/

Our air is contaminated. We're so disconnected from the earth. We often get more artificial light than natural light in our daily routines. And this situation is threatening our health. What can we do to turn things around? Thaddeus Owen, of the Primalhacker brand and the Corporate Escape Artist podcast, has some brilliant ideas for how to go about it. He has concrete ideas for upregulating our detoxification pathways, for example, to manage our polluted air. He offers suggestions for finding pristine sources of pure water for our bodies and for recharging ourselves as our ancestors did, with sunshine and earthing, among other ideas. Based on the five elements from traditional Chinese medicine, Thaddeus walks us through how to ground ourselves in more than one sense of the word.

Artificial light at night can disrupt your circadian rhythm and have negative effects on your health. Using red lights or blue light blocking glasses at night can help protect melatonin production and improve sleep. Getting sunlight in the morning is crucial for setting your circadian rhythm and improving overall health. Getting sunlight in the morning is important for setting up melatonin production at night. Avoid wearing sunglasses, glasses, or contacts during the day to allow the eyes to absorb the full spectrum of light. Grounding, or connecting with the Earth, can reduce inflammation and improve overall health. Seasonal eating and adapting diet to location and UV light exposure can optimize health and weight management. In the winter, it is beneficial to slow down, engage in spiritual work, and prioritize sleep and rest. Vitamin D supplementation can be beneficial for individuals with chronic infections and imbalanced mineral levels. Cold adaptation in the winter can open ancient pathways in the body, leading to improved detoxification, reduced inflammation, and better sleep. Taking ownership of one's health is crucial, and resources like biohacking courses can provide valuable information and guidance. Building a board of directors for one's health, consisting of various experts and modalities, can help individuals make informed decisions about their well-being.   Summary: Thaddeus Owen shares his journey into biohacking and the importance of natural biohacks. He discusses the harmful effects of artificial light at night and the benefits of using red lights or blue light blocking glasses. Thaddeus emphasizes the significance of getting sunlight in the morning to set the circadian rhythm and improve overall health. The conversation covers the importance of sunlight and circadian rhythm, the benefits of using Iris for computer screens, the benefits of grounding, understanding winter and seasonal eating, adapting diet to location and UV light exposure, and optimizing the winter lifestyle. In this conversation, Matthew Coffman and Thaddeus Owen discuss various topics related to health and biohacking. They cover the importance of vitamin D in alleviating chronic infections and its impact on mineral levels. They also explore the benefits of cold adaptation in the winter, including improved detoxification, reduced inflammation, and better sleep. Additionally, they discuss Thaddeus' biohacking course and the importance of taking ownership of one's health.  

In this episode of Collective Insights, Dr. Greg Kelly interviews Thaddeus Owen, also known within the biohacking community as “Primal Hacker", about his book "The Hibernation Diet" and the impact of light exposure on hormones, weight loss, and sleep. Thaddeus explains that light is information for the body and that the changing light levels throughout the year and throughout the day can affect our metabolism, appetite, and weight gain or loss. He suggests that cycling our diet based on the time of year and the seasons can be a healthier approach than sticking to one way of eating indefinitely. Thaddeus also discusses the importance of cold adaptation and shares strategies for improving sleep, such as using blue light-blocking glasses in the evening. He emphasizes the need to create a lighting strategy that aligns with the natural light cycles to support optimal health. Sponsored by Qualia Synbiotic: https://neurohacker.com/insights15.

In this episode Lachlan was joined with Thaddeus Owen from PrimalHacker to discuss the effects Artificial light & other non native electro magnetic radiations have on human biology.About Thaddeus:I was recently listed as one of the top Biohacking Influencers on Instagram. Together with Tomorrow, we're your guides through this often confusing and always changing game board called modern life. We're here to help you navigate the maze. We want you to steer your boat toward optimal health.Frankly you live in your body. But you ARE NOT your body. You are spirit, consciousness, universal energy or whatever you want to call it. Focusing on just the body is not the best path through this Matrix we live in. However, you do have to keep your body healthy so you can live a long time in optimal health to navigate this world. We'll show you how to maintain and create optimal health with the minimum effort using secret techniques most people don't know about.I've done my time in the “real world” making my way through Engineering school and playing the role of corporate employee for large manufacturers like Procter & Gamble and various pharmaceutical companies. After being told how to act and what to think about, I had enough.  I worked for my Master's in Holistic Nutrition and started down the path to opting out of the Matrix in order to achieve true health by supporting my body and mind. I used practices that are not talked about by mainstream media and your family doctor.Studying Qigong, Biohacking, and more conspiracy theories than you've ever heard of brought me to realize that in many cases the media is lying to us.  If you want to be optimally healthy you have to study secrets because the best practices are not generally public. I also found I had to experiment on myself to find out what really worked.My goal is to bring back some of these secrets to share with you. I want you to have optimal health. Most statistics show what it takes to be “average”.  We don't want to be average, we want to be as healthy as humanly possible while we're on this plane of reality. This is what we're here to teach you. Information from ancient sages, spiritual masters, health experts, and the latest science thrown in with a bit of the occult (meaning hidden).Topics Discussed in this episode:Thaddeus's journeyHow Thaddeus reversed his insomnia - 5HTP + collagen drink, blocking blue light and doing inner emotional workInsightful Studies on Artificial Late At Night Quantum effects Watching sunrises and sunsetsWhat is the circadian rhythmBlue Burn and skin cancer from Artificial light, Not the Sun !When to expose your naked body to the sunBenefits of grounding barefootEMR dangersSolutions and protection from EMRImportance of communityWE LOVE YA IMMENSELYConnect with thaddeus:https://linktr.ee/PrimalhackerThank you to all the co-producers investing and supporting the show.EVERY little bit counts and helps us make this happenValue For Value Funding Model:https://pod.fan/health-and-wellness-and-shitHealth and Life Coaching/Guidance with Jaelin: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saving.ivory/Create Your Unique Podcast With Purpose & Ease With Lachlan:https://calendly.com/lachlandunn23/call10% off grounding and emf protection products :

Imagine working for a company that you not only morally disagree with, but has completely unethical and illegal practices? That’s the kind of career that today’s guest, Thaddeus Owen, went into when he left college. But Thaddeus knew there was more to life and his career, so he quit that toxic environment to create something incredible. Thaddeus is the founder of PrimalHacker, a company devoted to biohacking our health to get the best out of our bodies. He started his biohacking journey by figuring out what worked best for him - living closer to work, cycling every day, and eventually, creating a life that meant he could work from home. He opens up and shares what it was like working for that unethical company he started with. I was shocked to learn how big companies hire psychologists and use manipulation techniques to sell their products. Thaddeus always felt dubious at his company, and when he started educating himself, he was able to change his career - and life. Thaddeus started writing about his biohacking journey on his blog when he was first exploring his new course. When a company reached out asking him to be an affiliate, he had no idea what he was signing up for but took a chance. A chance that paid off big time! We also talk about biohacking our own health. Thaddeus shares some of his best tips for how we can all get better sleep at night. He says that modern disease started with the introduction of the lightbulb and says we should all sit near natural light through the day… and limit our artificial light at nighttime. Thaddeus also gives us some advice on how we can improve the lighting situation in our own homes. Have you ever worked for a company that’s completely against your morals? Do you limit your exposure to artificial light throughout the day and evening? How can you create your perfect life?

Most people chase money and they chase wealth. I was chasing a career that was in line with my beliefs and my personality from a spiritual standpoint and everything else. I took a huge pay cut and that’s not easy to do.” (27:26) “If you enjoy what you do and you enjoy where you are, you’re going to have higher and increased health.” (31:46)   Links Find Thaddeus Owen and PrimalHacker Online Follow Thaddeus Owen and PrimalHacker on Instagram | Twitter | Facebook Buy Daytime Blue Light Blocking Glasses Buy Premium Blue Light Blocking Sleep Glasses   Check out the full episode post here Keep up with everything Quit Happens here Follow Lynn Marie on Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn | Instagram Podcast production support by the fine folks at Counterweight Creative

We’re back for another installment of wisdom from the inspiring Josh Trent. Check out Episode 272 for Josh’s healing journey, learn about his incredible experiences with plant medicine, and discover the powerful potential of breathwork.   Today we are constantly on the go. We’re being bathed in WiFi all the time. We’re constantly connected to our phone and it keeps pulling us back into it - notifications, emails, calls. We’re all trying to multitask and achieving less than ever. We’re all trying to set goals but failing because we’re not doing the inner work, or connection to the emotions we want to feel. For that same reason, we’re unable to find a loving partner. If we could only connect with the understanding and deep knowledge that we are more powerful, more amazing, than we know… but sometimes we need a little help.   Nootropics: What are nootropics? They’re supplements that increase cognitive performance and verbal acuity. Basically, they help your neurons to function at their highest capacity. Think about it, your brain is always working, even when you don’t realize it. You’re taking in your surroundings, you’re noticing the person you’re talking to, you’re breathing, you’re digesting, you’re walking…. Not to mention dealing with the millions of emails, texts and social media messages! No wonder your brain is exhausted! Nootropics help it to work better, to think clearer, and in the long-term protect it from damage. Josh swears by supplements from Neurohacker Collective.   Manifesting the one: Who do you want in your life? A “whatever you want, baby” kind of partner, or someone who challenges you? And how do you find love in this world of Tinder and nobody having any time? After three years of being single, Josh manifested his new relationship. He was on Paul Chek’s podcast, and Paul gave him a divine union prayer to practice. “Bless me that I choose my life’s companion according to the laws of perfect soul union.” Nine days later, in the desert, Josh met Kerry Michelle on Cathedral Rock. He knew right away that they had a deep soul connection. It’s not just the prayer, of course. It’s knowing that you are in the right space for a relationship - knowing yourself and understanding that everything that has happened in your life has happened for your growth. It’s a journey towards self-love - because when you can connect with self-love, then you can call in your soulmate. The more you are in the energy of love, the more love you will attract into your life.   Forgiveness: You know when you’re holding on to the pain that someone else caused you, and you’re stuck in victim mode, and you just can’t forgive them? We’ve all been there. But who are you hurting, ultimately? Only yourself. That feeling of anger towards another is a toxic emotion, and it can take over your life because of the negative beliefs that you unconsciously hold on to. Not only that, but you’re probably also beating yourself up about the fact you’re not being a forgiving person. Right? Double whammy. It was at a Rythmia plant medicine ceremony that Josh realized he’d spent twenty years holding on to anger at his father and believing he couldn’t trust men. By forgiving him, and then forgiving himself for having held on to that anger in the first place, Josh was able to release the emotion that was holding him back. You can too.   What’s 5G doing to us? Believe it or not, within the Terms & Conditions of your phone, there’s a statement that says you should never have your phone physically touching you. When the phone touches your body, it transfers the 5G into your DNA. So it’s important to keep your phone in your bag, not in your pocket. The less you have your phone touch your skin, the less the 5G will affect your body. Turn off your WiFi at night (you can buy a timer from Amazon). Put your phone on airplane mode if you’re carrying your phone in your pocket.

Today we are taking waaaay back - all the way back to our ancestral roots - to talk about Primal Hacking with Thaddeus Owen who is also well known in the biohacking world as “the Primal Hacker”. Since childhood Thaddeus has been an outdoor enthusiast - loving to fish and camp. As an adult, he spent a decade spent developing pharmaceutical products, but hated the idea of putting toxic chemicals into medicines. So he pivoted and engineered a successful work from home assignment applying Tim Ferriss’s 4 Hour Workweek to incorporate more movement, nature and sunshine into his work environment. With a master's degree in Holistic Nutrition ya and a deep understanding of the healing power of nature, Thaddeus was able to heal his anxiety, lower his blood pressure and fix his sleeplessness using biohacking, PrimalHacking, and Qigong. He is also a certified high performance Coach from the first-ever class of what used to be called Bulletproof Coaching. On this episode we discuss: - how to live an above average life - the balance between nature and tech - leaning into our biological design - important things to know before diving into biohacking - how biohacking can stress us out - how the modern world weakens our biology and our minds and what we can do about it - the truth about mind > matter - silent killers lurking in your home - the warning you probably ignored in your smart phone - how electromagnetic fields effect our biology - easy ways to mitigate EMF radiation - nature’s vaccine for cancer - the basics of circadian biology - and the very special window of sunlight that can give you super human powers!

PrimalHacker Cellphone Silver-lined Faraday Cage Pouch Get your PrimalHacker Cellphone Silver lined Faraday Cage Pouch Want to reduce the radiation from your phone? Don't want to be tracked by the GPS chip? Put your phone in this pouch. How about to ensure you sleep well at night? How about keeping your phone in your pocket? Better get one of these! A faraday prevents most of the microwave radiation, cell signal, WiFi, or Bluetooth from getting to your phone or emitting from it. Remember, when your phone is completely cinched into this bag, it won't get data or calls. But if you just open the top of the bag, it will reduce nearly ALL the radiation and still allow data and calls. You can even put the phone in the pouch with the top open so put it close to your head and talk on it without irradiating your brain like you would when you put an unshielded cellphone to your head.  Listen To Episode 279 As Thaddeus Owen Uncovers: PrimalHacker's mission to teach people about the impact of living an indoor vs. outdoor lifestyle and give them the tools and information to optimize their biology indoors. Why biohacking has been given a bad reputation even though it's actually a good thing. What 5G actually is, what it means for our health, and why we should be concerned about it in the first place. Some of the many ways wireless radiation affects the body including brain tumors, leaky blood-brain barrier, DNA damage, reproductive fertility, sleep, the ability to learn and more. How the medical community is actually using wireless radiation to create a leaky blood-brain barrier in order to deliver chemotherapy to brain cancer patients. The financial interest in investing in 5G including creating mesh networks in communities. Fact that the GPS chip is never actually turned off and can still track you even when you turn off the phone or the 'Location' option. Steps you can take to turn off the tracker in your phone but have to really dig through the menu to do it. Importance of trying to distance yourself from your cell phone, other wireless devices, and WiFi routers as much as possible. Our cell phone manuals come with warnings about being too close to them. Learn More: Myths and facts about how cell phones actually cause damage to the body including creating too much calcium in the body that it inflames the cells. Programs and products that PrimalHacker is selling to help people protect themselves from the hazards of wireless radiation. How a celery seed extract (a calcium channel blocker) supplement could benefit your health against 5G. Reason why people are not taking 5G seriously and what common misconceptions exist in society. The Lloyds of London insurance policy which refuses to insure anyone including cell phone companies for harm against 5G wireless radiation. What a Faraday Cage is and why we should be putting our airplane-mode set phones in them at night while we sleep. The importance of only turning your phone's Bluetooth, Cellular Data, Cellular Talk, and WiFi on when you really need them. His advice for fellow parents who have children that constantly use cell phones and other wireless devices. In-person retreats he puts on in a natural, beautiful setting free of wireless radiation where people learn primal biohacking and ancestral techniques for better health. Why biohacking is actually a form of self-love and care for the mind, body, and soul. Power Quotes From The Show "Don't wait until you're sick to get healthy. If you love yourself enough, you're going to understand that you are connected to everything on this planet and you're going to connect yourself consciously to those things and express it to the world through your thoughts, actions, and words." - Thaddeus Owen Wireless Radiation "There are many effects from wireless radiation but the only way cell phones are regulated for safety is through whether or not they heat the body like a microwave oven. If your body heats up while using a cell phone, they call that "damaging" but that is not how wireless radiation affects the body. It affects the body through at least four different mechanisms and the higher the frequency and the more power you put behind it, the more damaging it will be. There are over 5,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies showing the biological effects of wireless radiation like those from cell phones, WiFi routers, and Bluetooth." - Thaddeus Owen (PMF) Wavelengths "Because our bodies are tuned to wireless radiation, it can be done in a way that heals the body. There are healing wavelengths that people are using all of the time such as Polarization-Maintaining Fiber (PMF) wavelengths. Can you use a cell phone and a WiFi router on a healing frequency? Yes! Are we doing this? No, and one has to question why that is." - Thaddeus Owen Advanced Technology "The more you dive deep into the primal ancestral and the more we look into this advanced technology, the more we need to realize who we are and put that energy out there because microwave radiation is just wireless frequencies and we can say it harms us but what if that was the most biologically adaptive frequency that we're able to change through our connection, entanglement, thoughts, and actions to be positive. Microwave radiation might just be something that can heal you instead of thinking of it in a harmful way but you can only do this if you are connected, centered, and looking at both the ancestral and the modern to integrate those two things to live in this modern world but in a way that you show up from your true self and really, deeply connect with others." - Thaddeus Owen  Links From Today's Show Sunlighten Saunas Paleo f(x) FitCon Cell Phone Radio Frequency Radiation - National Toxicology Program (NTP) BioInitiative Report New patent points towards self-healing displays from Motorola Can You Eat Celery Seed?

After a decade spent developing pharmaceutical products, he just couldn’t face another day adding terrible ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and numerous red dyes into children’s medicine. He shifted gears and engineered a successful work from home assignment following Tim Ferriss’s 4 Hour Workweek. From there, he was able to find a way to incorporate more movement, nature, and sunshine into his work environment. Biohacking After learning about biohacking from the man who coined the term, Dave Asprey, Thaddeus healed his own anxiety, lowered his blood pressure and fixed his sleeplessness using biohacking, PrimalHacking, and Qigong. He spends his free time experimenting on himself in hopes of helping others on their journey. He writes about his experiments on PrimalHacker.com. He also spends time with his two boys learning martial arts, shooting arrows at targets and hiking.

It doesn't have to be complicated. For 200,000 years, human physiology has adapted to live in sync with the daily cycle of night and day. And natural light is the most important environmental cue that helps to synchronise our biology to the 24 hour, or circadian rhythm. But in the 21st century, artificial lighting, technology and 24/7 society has separated us from nature, and as a result, many of us, as a result of spending too much time indoors, too much time in front of screens, or staying up too light, suffer the health consequences of disrupting our circadian rhythms. In today's podcast we talk to biohacker Thaddeus Owen, who for the last 12 years has been studying, and implementing ways to achieve optimal health, including using the latest research into how light affects our physiology and our sleep. In this episode we go in-depth into explaining some practical ways to improve your sleep health, and general well-being with 'light hacking' including: tips and strategies for achieving optimal sunlight exposure in the morning and throughout the day how sunlight contains information that triggers hormone production at different times during the day how to choose the best pair of blue light blocking glasses comparing blue light blocking apps like F.lux and Iris and lots more.

Thanks for listening! Since we did the 'Sleep On It' episode a little while back, we're finding ourselves still thinking about sleep and the role it plays in health, recovery, wellbeing etc - and so this episode is building on the sleep subject. Blue Light is a natural frequency of light that we're supposed to be exposed to mainly from the sun - it sets our body clock. However, in the modern world we're exposed to unprecedented amounts of intsnse blue light at all sorts of unnatural times of the day - this is via stuff like modern light bulbs, LED lights, smartphones, tablets, televisions, computer monitor, the lot! In this we expolore what's going on here and some ways that we can help limit this over exposure to blue light. We also talk about red light (which is something I didn't know about before looking into this all further). If you want to find out more, there's loads of stuff on Google - in particular I mention a blog called Primal Hacker: https://primalhacker.com/blog Also reach out and we'll share all the info we've found so far.

The health and wellness world can be a very confusing place at times, especially when it comes to the rise of self-proclaimed health experts who may not always have your best health and wellness in mind. This ocean of information online leads millions of people to the false-promised land every day from clickbait sites, facebook ads, and even more concerning now with a 2017 trend emerging towards getting the body, abs, and fitness people want in weeks rather than months, there is a new segment of our industry that is growing fast: Biohacking. But do the biohacking claims about using wires, lights, pills, tubes and devices truly stack up against the power of doing the deeper emotional inventory around why someone's health suffered in the first place? What is our body's response to blue light and how do we biohack for wellness in the EMF/WiFi congested and artificially lit up world that so many work and live inside of? Can we combine biohacking with the physical and emotional intelligence needed to live life well? Join us on Wellness Force Radio 143 as we answers these questions and explore the truth about biohacking with Thaddeus Owen, Co-Founder of PrimalHacker.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST   "Everyone's truth and exploration of life is on a different path.

You must understand yourself and your own truth by seeking the things that will build you up from the inside out." - Thaddeus Owen "I understood from a young age that having a powerful body lead to a more powerful and clear mind and how much eating and movement had to do with how we show up in the world." - Thaddeus Owen "I can't work in a job that doesn't provide some kind of benefit to humanity, and that's why founded PrimalHacker." - Thaddeus Owen "We see people dead on gurneys all the time that have six pack abs, have run marathons, and might look amazing; outwardly there were Adonis's is but inwardly they were not healthy. To me, real wellness comes from the inside. How comfortable do you feel in your own skin? How excited are you about life and exploring all the possibilities around you? Wellness to me is being curious, being excited to get up every day, and being comfortable with who you are from the inside out." - Thaddeus Owen "A lot of people want to get healthy and well quickly so they tend to copy someone else who has had biohacking success, but they don't actually know for themselves why they're doing it." - Thaddeus Owen There is increasing concern about the types of problems that might be caused by our constant exposure to blue light, from computers and televisions and other modern technology. By cutting out the blue light, Thaddeus Owen says he sleeps much better and reduces potential problems with vision or cancers. Thaddeus is a sustainability manager, a national leader in developing a zero-waste philosophy within industry and turning sustainable ideas into reality. Along the way, he has become a passionate advocate for responsible use of technology and our daily encounters with blue light. He wears sunglasses indoors and at night, and thinks the rest of us should too. About Thaddeus Owen Thaddeus began his journey outdoors, camping and fishing as a boy in the Adirondacks and Central NY forests.
