Episode 117: In this conversation, Kate sits down with Cutter Wood to discuss his new book Earthly Materials: Journeys Through Our Bodies' Emissions, Excretions, and Disintegrations. It's a poignant and touching exploration of the often-overlooked aspects of our physical being: our body's "effluvia." From the science of mucus to our last breath, from our tears to our flatulence, Cutter delves into the interconnectedness of bodily materials and how these substances reflect our shared vulnerability, humanity, and care for one another. These substances are sometimes hidden for reasons of sanitation, but also because they remind us of our fragility and mortality, which means—this is also a podcast abut death. Cutter brings humor, depth, and honesty to his exploration of the body's excretions and emissions, reminding us that these “leaky meat suits” are also what connect us.

Matt shares his professional history with David, including his early interactions with David in Leonard Guarente's lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and scientific differences that emerged after Matt and colleagues were unable to reproduce a key result from David's work pertaining to resveratrol. Their discussion touches on some of David's scientific claims about age reversal, the role of institutions such as Harvard University in regulating scientific integrity, the potential for future interventions in healthspan and longevity, and the importance of separating personal feelings from scientific evaluation. David, currently a professor in Harvard Medical School's Department of Genetics at the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research, is a prominent geroscience researcher whose lab focuses on age-related epigenetic change, cellular reprograming, longevity drug discovery, mitochondrial fitness, reproductive aging, neurodegenerative disease, and the human secretome. He has received awards including the National Institutes of Health Nathan Shock Award, the Merck Prize, and the Australian Medical Research Medal, and was elected to TIME's 2014 “100 Most Influential People in the World" list. David conducted postdoctoral research at MIT and obtained a PhD in Molecular Genetics at the University of New South Wales.

Scott Carney makes his second appearance on the podcast to talk about his new book Dream: the Art and Science of Slumber. It's a deliciously short book that reframes sleep. It's a little bit science and a little bit art and it manages to quote Jurassic Park once, so it's a big win. In this episode, Scott and I chase some rabbits around ideas related to sleep. Have we couched sleep in the language of economic productivity and forgotten what it is to dream? Does our sleep distill our life into emotions and do those exist to form the basis of our memories and who we are in waking life? What does the spectrum between sleep and wake say about our consciousness? We also touch in on Scott's dreams of anacondas and what a rumen does anyway. This is a podcast that gives you, amongst many things, permission to dream.

In this episode of The Align Podcast, Brian Mackenzie joins us for a discussion on the science of breathwork and its performance enhancing effects. We explore the ways in which C02 tolerance can be a game-changer for your health, as well as Brian's techniques for nasal breathing. We also discuss big wave surfers, their ability to stay calm in chaotic situations, and ways this impacts their mental state. We round up the conversation with ways to navigate internal noise, and how we can all build a better mindset when it comes to health and wellness. Brian Mackenzie is an innovator and pioneer in developing and applying custom protocols to optimize human health and performance. His work harnesses and integrates respiratory (breathing), movement, strength & conditioning, and endurance-based training approaches to elicit unprecedented positive results.

Brian's work is voluntarily and repeatedly subjected to rigorous 3rd party scientific testing, re-testing, and improvement, at top institutions. He has been contracted, and his work is involved in research projects at Stanford University School of Medicine, California State University Fullerton, San Francisco State University, and the UFC Performance Institute.

Scott Carney is an American investigative journalist, author and anthropologist. He's the author of five books: The Red Market, The Enlightenment Trap, What Doesn't Kill Us', The Wedge and The Vortex, and the host of the podcast "Scott Carney Investigates." Scott has been instrumental in the rise of Wim Hof as well, climbing Kilimanjaro with him and writing about his work. Now, he is writing about the dangers involved, and we delve into his upcoming article in Men's Health on the subject of breathwork and cold. Scott is a very curious mind and isn't afraid to ask questions and show up to life in every way to learn. I loved this interview and am thrilled to have learned from this inquisitive mind! We have a meaningful and meandering conversation about the nature of life, being a dilettante, zombies, belief, yoni eggs, sasquatch, cult leaders, and so much more, including: What is THE question? Consciousness and the main questions of life His experience having a student die by suicide during a meditation retreat in India What is the dark side of enlightenment? Things that are powerful can also be dangerous The law of diminishing returns vs the law of speedy gains Being a dilettante is a good thing The happiness of letting go The meditative practice of “ordinary middle class life” The freedom of life The power of ice bathing and the process of being fun The appeal of cults and gurus The narrative of Wim that we need to leave behind  The dangers of breath-work and cold water The fallibility of human nature and everyone When the Buddha was wrong and people died Skeptics and ending your center The yoni egg  Placebo effect and appearance effect Chakras and Chinese medicine  Zombies, Psychobiology and belief  Sasquatch  Napping and it's rebelliousness / science  Referenced in this episode: Scott's law of diminishing returns / speedy gains podcast: https://youtu.be/LgCR9FhWtSs Scott's Guided nap link: https://youtu.be/AhnroE4OjF8 His wife's Laura Krantz's book and podcast: https://www.amazon.com/Search-Sasquatch-Wild-Thing-Book/dp/1419758187 | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wild-thing/id1434465245 Follow Scott: https://www.instagram.com/sgcarney/ | https://www.scottcarney.com/ | Podcast "Scott Carney Investigates" https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scott-carney-investigates/id1675685319 _____________________________ Let's get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

Why are we talkin' about breathing, something we do automatically? There are a lot of different types of breathing. What is your breath like when you're nervous? Contrast that with how you're breathing at the end of a delicious meal filled with laughter and pause. Or as you're reading and beginning to doze off. It's true that most of the breaths we take are autonomic unconscious processes. And true that we can improve our cardiovascular, immune and psychological functioning with intentional breath work. I started researching breathing techniques while pregnant with my son, specifically enrolling in a HypnoBirthing class. Over the years I've expanded my practice to include a number of different practices for different reasons. Today, I'll share three techniques with you: three breathing exercises for relaxation, resolving a blocked nostril and strengthening your system, respectively. 1. Parasympathetic relaxation technique: here we slow down the breathing and use a simple counting technique to inhale and pause, then exhale and pause. 2.Soma Breath Unblock: here you learn how to unblock your nostril(s) when you awaken congested. 3. Wim Hof mini class: and finally we explore a method for strengthening your cardiovascular and immune systems developed by the Ice Man! For an excellent related read, check out What Doesn't Kill Us by Scott Carney! In closing, I offer some general advice I give clients: think of your health journey as a walking path where you're generally headed forward, one foot in front of the other. If you're holding yourself to a really strict “tight rope",” it's very hard to find self grace. Remember, every time you do something healthy — take a walk, get some natural light, eat a nourishing meal, you are investing in your health bank account. If and when you decide to take a withdrawal, this doesn't negate all of the deposits you've made. The aim is to make more deposits than you do withdrawals. In related human health news, my friend Nina Teicholz, author of one of my favorite books, The Big Fat Surprise as well as her Substack, Unsettled Science, has just written a great piece there called Whole Milk is Illegal. The nonprofit she founded, The Nutrition Coalition is working to support The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act which aims to bring intact, more nutritious milk to our schools. To voice your support for this bi-partisan bill, find your congressperson and give him or her a quick call tomorrow! Make this two minute investment ASAP! Lastly, who do you know who loves to eat and would like to use food as medicine to achieve vitality and reverse chronic lifestyle conditions? Gift ‘em a copy of The Nourishment Mindset!

A spacecraft pushes further into deep space, exploring new galaxies, powered by a small nuclear reactor. An ordinary scientist is struck by cosmic rays—and finds he has new powers. Fiction? Or fact? Or a little of both? Stories of nuclear peril and promise permeate American media, and especially comic books.

What were the long-term effects of the SL-1 explosion? Nuclear power is a shrinking part of America's energy picture; accidents and fear have tarnished it, and the old reactor fleet is reaching its end. Yet nuclear energy could provide a bulwark against the looming threat of climate change. Is it something we can make work for us, in spite of ourselves? Are the costs worth it in the long run? Sixty years on, what do we know—and are we better prepared? *Become a premium subscriber to Wild Thing!

Incidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima are often what comes to mind when we think about nuclear energy. Thankfully, events like these actually very rare. So does that mean the risks we associate with atomic power are as bad as we think? How good are we at actually assessing those risks? And can we make things even less risky by removing humans from the equation? That's how some next generation projects hope to make nuclear energy safer. *Become a premium subscriber to Wild Thing!

The aftermath of SL-1 highlighted a problem that we still haven't solved, despite decades of searching for a solution: what to do with the waste. Our plans to store nuclear waste inside Yucca Mountain in Nevada fell through. So now what? Can we safely contain these materials? Should the waste be in one location, or many? How do we warn future generations about the dangers these materials pose? *Become a premium subscriber to Wild Thing!

As firefighters and medical personnel staged operations at SL-1, a plume of radioactive gas silently made its way over the Idaho desert, creeping towards the nearby towns. How much of a risk did the explosion at SL-1 actually pose? And what does radiation actually do to the human body? We are constantly bathing in what's called background radiation—so where is the line? How much is safe and how much is too much? *Become a premium subscriber to Wild Thing!

The only three people who really knew what had transpired at SL-1 were dead, and it would take months to determine what likely happened—plenty of time for rumors and gossip to take hold. Was there a love triangle? A fight gone wrong? A murder suicide? A government cover-up? Or was all of this rumor and innuendo simply a distraction from the real problems? And, ultimately, what information could people trust? *Become a premium subscriber to Wild Thing!

Two of the men working the reactor that night had personal problems. They hated each other. They fought with their bosses. And those problems could easily distract a man from his work—but what does that mean when you're working with nuclear materials? At a reactor that, although managed by the military, seemed to be falling apart due to infrastructure issues, mechanical failures, and lackluster maintenance? *Become a premium subscriber to Wild Thing!

The horrifying devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki proved the destructive capabilities of nuclear power. But, in the aftermath of World War II, we started to experiment with how we could use atomic energy for good. It was the dawn of a new era in science, and, in that spirit, thousands of men arrived in Idaho, including the men whose deaths would later signify the difficulty of achieving this atomic America. *Become a premium subscriber to Wild Thing!

One of the worst natural disasters of the 20th century happened in 1990, when cyclone struck the most densely populated coastline on Earth in today's Bangladesh. Over the course of just a few hours, the Great Bhola Cyclone would kill 500,000 people and begin a chain reaction of turmoil, genocide, war, and a U.S-Soviet standoff. The storm formed on warm ocean currents of the Indian Ocean. By the time it made landfall, it was about the size of Texas, creating a 20-foot storm surge. Survivors had to climb to the tops of balm trees, as the deluge filled apartments to the second story. But the worst was yet to come. The cyclone caused a domino effect of cascading catastrophes: flipping a democratic election in the country of Pakistan, which led to a genocide of 3 million Bengalis, a civil war, and all the way up to a nuclear brinksmanship between the American and Soviet navies in which the two nuclear superpowers were an hour away from mutually-assured destruction. In this episode we are going to explore how revolutions are not always man-made affairs, but often in response to natural disasters. We are joined by Scott Carney and Jason Miklian, authors of The Vortex: A True Story of History's Deadliest Storm, an Unspeakable War, and Liberation. We observe that seemingly unrelated small events can snowball not just into national revolutions but international ones or even global war (not least with the parallels to Ukraine today).

How did we figure out that such a tiny particle—an atom—held all that power? For that matter, what is an atom? A primer on the basics of atomic energy—including its destructive capabilities—to help us better understand the events that unfolded roughly 20 years later at SL-1. We'll get a (basic!) lesson in nuclear physics from scientists, and explore some of the history that brought atomic power to the Idaho desert. *Become a premium subscriber to Wild Thing!

In Wild Thing: Going Nuclear, we'll use science, history and culture to probe the realities of atomic energy today, while analyzing our own fascination— and ambivalence—with all things atomic. What are the true risks? And what is the actual potential? Are we better at this than we were sixty years ago? And given our nature, are we humans even responsible enough to harness the power of the universe—and should we? *Become a premium subscriber to Wild Thing!
