In this episode, I sit down with Cameron George, researcher, writer, and founder of TRU KAVA, to explore a radical shift in how we approach mental health, addiction, and the way we self-medicate. For too long, alcohol and pharmaceuticals have been the go-to, but Cameron breaks down why they often do more harm than good—dulling awareness, numbing stress, and creating dependence. He explains how kava, a centuries-old plant medicine, calms the nervous system, enhances clarity, and builds resilience—without toxic trade-offs. Kava is more than a drink—it empowers self-sovereignty and health.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 577 Can kava help your mental and spiritual growth? Cameron George, founder of Tru Kava, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast, episode 577, to share how kava can expand your consciousness and give you the same benefits as alcohol without actually being drunk, why people seek altered states of consciousness, and how we are disconnected from nature. "Indigenous people see kava as a psychological and mental medicine that builds mental health, mental fortitude, and emotional maturity over time. The medicine opens up the pathway and the doorway for you to increase your senses to be able to develop as a human. They see it as a developer of the mind and emotions. They see it as something that helps to bring out that authentic existential core in a person and to manifest itself collectively." - Cameron George 20% OFF TRU KAVA Every day should be your best day....make the most of every day with TRU KAVA products that help promote feelings of openness, calm, energy, and focus.

That is generating every expression of disharmony and disease which leads to every kind of ailment in the manipulation of your mind body spirit system." - Cameron George The Benefits of Drinking Kava "Kava brings on a state of comfort which is accessible and relevant to anybody, no matter where you're at in your life. Whenever you drink kava regularly, what we see in populations is people tend to become more introspective, reflective, empathetic, and, across the board in many cases, more intelligent." - Cameron George [spacer height="20px"] What's The Root Cause of Addiction? "Addiction is not the problem. Addiction is your attempt to solve a problem. That's the disconnection from self that happens from trauma." - Cameron George [spacer height="20px"] The Contrast of Life "You couldn't comprehend light without darkness. It would not exist. You could not have an experience of light or an appreciation or an understanding for it without the contrast of darkness. It's only as light as the dark is dark. If you're going to blame the seemingly "bad" circumstances in your life for bringing about such horror and terror and all of the bad, then you better blame them for the good too. Inside every experience, inside the darkest of the dark, the most traumatic of the traumatic, there is opportunity." - Cameron George Links From Today's Show  Cameron George Tru Kava - 20% off Tru Kava with code "JOSH20" Finding Joe Jordan Peterson Michael Pollan 388 Dr. Jud Brewer | Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind American Pain 503 Paul Levy | Wetiko: Break Free From Collective Mass Psychosis The Book of Eli 375 Bizzie Gold: Break Method | Why Instinct And Intuition Are Not The Same (Rewiring The Subconscious) Gabor Maté 538 John Wineland | A New Masculine Paradigm: Leading With Love, Living Your Truth + Healing The World Cameron George on Luke Storey's Podcast Jurassic Park 192 Jason Prall: The Human Longevity Project Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Wellness + Wisdom Approved Products MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” MitoZen – 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Organifi –20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" QI-Shield EMF Device- 20% off with the code "JOSH" SEED Synbiotic - 30% off with the code "JOSHTRENT" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Cured Nutrition CBD - 20% off with the code "WELLNESS FORCE" LiftMode - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Paleovalley – 15% off with the link only NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - $25 off with the code "JOSH25" BiOptimizers - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" ION - 15% off with the code ‘JOSH1KS' Feel Free from Botanic Tonics - $40 off with the code "WELLNESS40" Essential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATERS - 33% off your first order with the code "JOSH33" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Cameron George Cameron George is an acclaimed researcher, writer, and a globally recognized leading authority on Kava. As the visionary founder of TRU KAVA, he is pioneering a movement to elevate Kava to its rightful place as the signature social elixir of our contemporary world. He has spent over a decade working within an extended network of several thousand functional medicine physicians, through which he has been involved in clinical research, product development, and the development of many multitherapeutic protocols with a specific focus on neurorehabilitation and chronic disease. While collaborating with many top researchers and physicians, he has assisted in the development of many multitherapeutic protocols for anxiety and mood disorders, PTSD, and autoimmune conditions in general (which in many cases is a main underlying contributor to PTSD). These include all physiological therapies and neural retraining strategies for processing trauma and shifting the body's learned fight/flight response). Cameron also has extensive experience working clinically with a wide array of psychoactive plant medicines targeted for these purposes. (Kava , cannabis, psilocybin, kratom, kanna, ayahuasca, DMT, LSD, MDMA, and many adaptogenic herbs from TCM and Ayurveda). Website Instagram Facebook YouTube Listen To The Latest Episodes...

Most people's systems are out of whack, with their sympathetic nervous system (fight flight or freeze mode) dominating. This leaves you functioning as a very reduced version of yourself because all your energy is reverted to the parts of your brain that just help you survive. Kava helps reset that and build up the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the state where your body can heal and recover, where you can connect with people, and where you can open up your higher aspirations cognitively and emotionally as well. In this next interview, I get to spend some time with someone who has become a dear friend, Cameron George. Cameron is the co-founder of one of my favorite products called Tru Kava. I met Cameron about five years ago, where he was serving kava at an event I was attending. I had my first sample of this beverage that's been around for thousands of years in the South Pacific, and I was blown away. I felt so good. I felt euphoric. I felt my heart was open. I had this massive desire to connect with people and for social interaction. Normally I would reach for alcohol in order to have that feeling, but this was so much better. I love that this is a natural product that not only feels good in the moment, but can actually change my brain over time for the better. In this episode, Cameron shares his incredible story of such adversity, nearly losing his life to chronic illness and how kava actually pulled him through. And that's why he's doing what he does now, bringing kava to the masses. He also shares tons of great information about kava (what it is, what it isn't, what it does, uses for it, etc.). I am so excited for you to listen to this guy. He just spews information, so get ready!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, the co-founder of TRU KAVA, a company that is striving to set the industry standard for quality, safety, and education around kava within the mass market, Cameron George. Cameron has spent many years investigating every aspect of kava. He has collaborated with many of the most prominent experts in the world within the fields of kava research and historical kava use. The goal of this project is to provide the safest and most effective kava products on the market, as well as educate the public on the complex story surrounding kava, explain some of the myths, the massive variation of quality on the market, and the many amazing benefits that kava can offer to the modern world when it's used correctly in its traditional form. He strives to advocate for the use of only lab tested, safe kava varieties. The initiative is to clearly educate on the differences between safe and questionable kava products demonstrated in the scientific literature and historical accounts.   This episode originally aired in August 2020. In this episode, Cameron dives into the story of his autoimmune/nervous system condition that led him to discover the excellent medicinal benefits of KAVA. Cameron touches on how KAVA can positively affect those suffering from an autoimmune disease and he explains the benefits KAVA can have on everyone. KAVA is excellent for reducing cortisol, appetite, glucose, and inflammation. Stay tuned as Cameron speaks about maximizing the benefits of KAVA and what makes TRU KAVA unique.

Cameron also suffered from chronic fatigue, severe cognitive deficits, constant anxiety, insomnia, and convulsions that inhibited his ability to recover at any degree. After seeing countless doctors, he started researching medicinal herbs with anti-anxiety/anticonvulsant properties to reduce his anxiety and convulsions. This eventually led him to discover the excellent medicinal benefits of "true" KAVA, a potent plant-based anxiety-reducing nootropic drink from islands in the south pacific. [28:00] How KAVA Can Benefit People With Autoimmune Diseases To understand KAVA, it's best to look at it from a philosophical perspective first. KAVA plays a protective role in ecology. It creates a lot of chemical compounds to protect itself and the other organisms around it. KAVA has anti-inflammatory action and anticonvulsant action. Autoimmunity is trauma from the gut and psyche. Because of KAVA's anti-inflammatory and anticonvulsant actions, it is helpful for people with autoimmune issues. KAVA will calm the nervous system and the immune system. It's a broad spectrum natural protective substance that protects us from inflammation. [32:50] Using KAVA To Handle Stress All disease comes from stress. Whether it be physical, chemical, or emotional – you need to be exposed to only adaptable stress. We need tools and strategies that can increase our resilience to all forms of stress. KAVA is not the only tool. However, it's a critical intervention tool that calms down the storm inside our body during trauma. Instead of turning to alcohol, KAVA can help give us an acute therapeutic crutch. Stress will put us in a state of fear and distort reality - KAVA will help alleviate the stress. [36:00] How KAVA Can Affect Cortisol KAVA can help metabolic flexibility – it will reduce cortisol and reactivity in the body. People who combine coffee and KAVA found that their blood glucose levels go down significantly. On average KAVA will drop glucose below the baseline. Outside of cortisol reduction, KAVA is a full-spectrum adaptative substance. It will put the body in a hyper fasted state. [43:10] Maximizing The Effects of KAVA    You can maximize the effects of KAVA by drinking it with coffee. Have some of the coffee then put KAVA under your tongue as well. The KAVA shots are stronger - they will enhance creativity. There's a spectrum of strength depending on which product you are looking at. [44:20] How TRU KAVA is Unique The main differentiating factor is that TRU KAVA only uses 100% root material. Many products have the leaves and stems in them. They can actually be quite toxic to humans and cause a lot of problems. TRU KAVA never uses solids to extract anything. The reason people use this is that they get high yields. Some KAVA strains are for daily use, whereas others are not considered for everyday use. TRU KAVA will confirm that the strains are for daily use.

It's also a natural alternative to recreational alcohol and drug use. “It's like a calm, enhanced state of natural sobriety,” Cameron says.If you struggle with social anxiety, kava's roots in community and social connection can improve your relationships, too.Today's conversation further expands the kava discussion.“Kava is a stress-relieving nootropic,” Cameron says. “It's a natural elixir that's prepared from the roots of a plant that grows in the South Pacific. Indigenous people have used it for thousands of years and prepared this food-grade drink kind of like coffee. On the stress-relieving side, on the nootropic side, they've prepared it and used it in almost every context imaginable, weddings, funerals, spiritual ceremonies, social gatherings. It helps to open up the opportunity for human connection, but it also helps to get people focused yet relaxed and calm and in a very safe space neurologically.”Kava studies show promise for people who may be experiencing mental health issues.

Who are we? Where are we? What do we want? What can we do? In one of my favorite podcast experiences of all time, I ask the spiritual guru Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar these foundational questions. I should mention that I've been around my share of ‘gurus' and to be honest, have been disappointed on many of these occasions. But not this time! I've always said you can tell a spiritual master by the sound of their laughter, and Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar passed that litmus test with flying colors. His answers to my questions are stunning in their elegant simplicity, but it wasn't only Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's answers that were extraordinary, it was also the energy with which he delivered them.

In my quest to find awesome alcohol alternatives that still make you feel great, I came across an ancient elixir called kava. I tried a cheap kava kava supplement and was unimpressed. A while later, I tried real kava. And in comparison, it knocked my socks off. So I brought on an expert to explain the difference, the science of kava, and what makes this such a prized plant. Meet our guest Cameron George is a researcher, writer, entrepreneur, and the founder of TRU KAVA, a company that is striving to set the industry standard for quality, safety, and education around all psychedelic plants including kava. Since discovering the amazing effects of traditional Kava during his own chronic illness, Cameron spent years investigating Kava and has collaborated with many of the most prominent experts in the world within the fields of Kava research and historical Kava use. TRU KAVA is focused on developing scalable user-friendly products that deliver the full therapeutic action of the traditional kava drink, which is the only form that has been highly prized in the South Pacific Islands for over 3000 years. Cameron has spent years working within a network of functional medicine physicians with whom he has been involved in clinical research and protocol development for Neurodegenerative and trauma-related conditions.

There is a problem with the word “myth” in our culture. We believe that a myth isn't ‘true'..but that's only partially correct. A myth may not be true in the literal sense, but any good myth points at deep and hidden truth. Michael Meade, regarded as one of the foremost experts on mythology is here to give us the codes on how to decode a myth, and find the often shockingly profound lessons hidden within. We go through a few of these myths on the podcast including myths of collapse and renewal, re-creation stories, the role of the elder in mentoring troubled youth, and how telling better stories can guide us through the challenges of modernity.

Do you believe your government to be trustworthy stewards of power? Enough that you are willing to give them absolute power over you? This is the dangerous and dystopian pathway that is being paved with Vaccine passports. In this podcast we talk about the slippery slope from global adoption of vaccine passports to digital IDs and ultimately central bank digital currencies. Nick Corbishley is the author of the book Scanned, which warns of a dystopian future that could become reality if we continue to give governments the power to implement these technologies into our daily lives.

My guest this week is Cameron George of TRU KAVA. In this episode, Cameron and I discuss his long journey to find his health and how Kava helped him heal. We cover frequently asked questions about Kava such as what kind of Kava is best, how to dose Kava, can you overdose with Kava, why do people use Kava, is Kava addicting, and more.   Learn more about Kava and purchase Kava at https://gettrukava.com/ and use discount code nat15 for 15% off Cameron shares his all too familiar story of a young and healthy individual whose health, all of the sudden, seems to betray them. He dealt with brain fog, memory loss, depression, multiple chemical sensitivities, severe gut issues, seizures, extreme reactions to food and water, and debilitating fatigue. He had tried many different western and alternative medicine options. So many things promise to be the panacea but did not help. Once he tried treating multiple systems at once, he started to make progress. The use of Kava in combination with other therapies made the biggest difference. Kava has mild entheogenic effects similar to psilocybin. Kava promotes calm, focus, interconnectivity, mental clarity, and so much more. In many cultures it's used as a community drink much like alcohol is in our culture. Kava is non-addictive and does not throw your body out of balance as alcohol does.  One of the main objectives people have about kava is the potential liver damage we hear about. Cameron covers the reasons why that is not an issue especially with the whole plant synergistically like it was traditionally meant to be used. Many people know that with CBD they react better when using a full spectrum product so it makes sense it would be the same with Kava. Episode SponsorThanks to our Episode Sponsor BiOptimizers.

Several studies have shown a spike in anxiety, depression, and insomnia within the last year. In fact, people are 3x more likely to have anxiety or depressive disorders (vs. 2019) and insomnia rates are up 37%.  And while many people turn to alcohol, drugs, or benzos to calm down, there's an evidence-based, natural solution that comes with side benefits rather than scary side effects.  That solution is Tru Kava.  I learned about Tru Kava in March of last year, and have been using it to help me chill out and get more deep sleep ever since! It works as an alcohol replacement and sleep tonic, AND it can also improve mental clarity.  Please note: if you search “kava” in google you will most likely find that kava causes liver issues, but please know that the kava that caused liver issues was made by a pharmaceutical company and is NOT the same as Tru Kava or the kava that has been used and revered for over 3000 years in places like Vanuatu.   It makes me so sad to think that people will miss out on the incredible benefits of this powerful plant because of this misunderstanding! Tune in to this week's podcast to learn all about the benefits of kava, the nuances in its production, and how to use it for best results with the founder of Tru Kava, Cameron George. Cameron's story of transformation made my hair stand on end and I hope you love this podcast as much as I did. Here are some of the highlights…. A morning tonic for better brain function The limitations (and dangers) of common medications The benefits of kava The difference between kava and alcohol  The difference between kava and benzos The mechanisms by which kava reduces anxiety  Reverse tolerance (and why it's a good thing!) How kava helps you chill out and sleep better How kava improves antioxidant production How kava blocks brain toxicity Why (and how) kava can reduce pain How kava reduces appetite and improves fat burning Which forms of kava are safe How to take kava for best results Is kava safe for kids?  Can kava help with ADHD?  And so much more  This is one of my favorite products EVER so please tag anyone you know and love who might benefit from this powerful information in the comments below.   Valuable Resources:  Tru Kava >>> Elevate Your Mind with Full Spectrum Kava + SAVE up to 20% HERE!

This episode of Bulletproof Radio revisits one of my favorite varieties of plant medicine, called kava. It's a plant-based drink from the South Pacific Islands that relieves anxiety, boosts mood and enhances cognitive abilities. It has a pretty impressive resume: Kava is a safe, natural alternative to drugs and alcoholKava offers effects similar to micro dosing psychedelicsWhen humans consume kava, it helps protect the body from all forms of stress (physical, chemical, emotional) I'm talking with Cameron George, a researcher, writer, entrepreneur and the founder of TRU KAVA. He's been on the show before, Kava Just May Be The Next CBD – #731, so don't miss that one for a great starter resource! This time, we get into kava's growing use in the United States, its links to community and social connection, and how it makes an amazing alternative to alcohol.Cameron likes kava as an alcohol replacement, he says because [for the most part] “people who are migrating towards kava are looking for healthier alternatives that are non-addictive, that don't interfere with their faculties and kind of keep them sober, but bring kind of that enhanced sobriety.”Kava lowers the emotional stress system in the brain that is overactive and easily triggered. It increases GABA, an amino acid which is a building block for proteins, and in the brain, kava acts as a neurotransmitter and activates serotonin.“Whenever you talk to the indigenous people of the South Pacific,” Cameron says, “they don't speak of kava in the same context. In the U.S., we just see it as an anxiety relieving herb that helps with sleep and stress and things like that. They speak of it as a spiritual entheogenic medicine that improves the quality of your thoughts, your perspective, induces introspective thinking and allows people to connect with one another.”TRU KAVA sets the industry quality standard by providing the safest and most effective kava on the market. The company offers kava oil and shots, and a new drink that you consume like you would an alcoholic beverage. I'm really excited for you to listen to this conversation, hear us break down some misconceptions and learn how you can experience the benefits of kava. Enjoy!

TRU KAVA is focused on developing user-friendly products that deliver the full therapeutic action of the traditional kava drink, which is the only form that has been highly prized in the south pacific islands for over 3000 years.SHOW NOTES: 0:53 Welcome to the show!2:36 Cameron George's Bio3:38 Welcome Cameron!4:36 What is Kava?7:08 Cameron's health journey14:40 Concerns with Benzodiazepines16:13 *Kion – Save 15% with code BioBabes1517:20 Looking for a plant-based alternative20:36 An increase in social connection & introspection22:50 GABA receptor upregulation26:12 Why is Kava good for so many things?31:10 Kava as “The Great Protector”34:40 The GABA pathway35:48 Ion-Channel blocking, COX-1 & COX-2 inhibitION37:04 Nrf2 upregulation for anti-oxidation37:28 Processing emotional traumas & stress38:13 How the indigenous people use it42:09 *LightPath LED – Save 5% with code BIOHACKERBABES45:12 Lauren's first experience with Kava46:45 The different strains available50:30 Newest product coming soon53:07 Cultures that embrace psychedelics55:32 His final piece of advice58:20 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES: GetTruKava.comInstagram: @TruKavaFacebook: Tru KavaKion - Save 15% with code BioBabes15LightPath LED - Save 5% with code BIOHACKERBABESSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donations

I drop my 25 years’ worth of biohacking tools, lifestyle hacks, and products in this bonus episode, where I take another dive into your questions from The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group.  Plug in to find the answers to where you can source low-EMF light bulbs, get natural pain relief, drink deuterium-depleted and structured water, prepare food with non-toxic cookware, and optimize your brain function.    05:40 —Debbie asks: where can I purchase quality non-LED light bulbs?  The issues with flicker and color temperature in commercial light bulbs. Incandescent is a solution if they’re under 100 watts (otherwise, there can be stress-inducing flickers). Waveform Lighting offer full spectrum bulbs. BLUblox Lumi Sleep+ bulbs are great for slipping into a relaxed mood at night Wear blue-light-blocking glasses when the sun goes down. BLUblox, Ra Optics have some fashion-forward options    10:58 —Jonathan asks: what are your best natural remedies for symptomatic pain relief? Start with your diet! Remove inflammatory foods such as grains, lectins, and sugar. Take ice baths every day. I just had my Morozko Forge installed, which is fantastic because you can set the temperature, the water is self-cleaned with O-zone, and it has zero EMF. Use code “LUKE150” to receive a $150 discount on Cold Forge and Filtered Forge models and code “LUKE500” to receive a $500 discount for the Prism Forge model. Neurocranial restructuring Dr. Dean Howell. Check out episode #345: “It's All In Your Head: Neurocranial Restructuring for Migraines & Pain.” Laser therapy with Power Medic Lasers. Check out episode #110: “Ending Injuries, Pain, and Infertility with Cold Lasers w/ Arne Grinsted.” Target vibration therapy post-workout with the Hypervolt. Network spinal analysis created by past guest Donnie Epstein. Check out episode #138: “EpiEnergetics: The Miraculous Healing Powers of Donny Epstein” Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) is the best system to help joints regain motion so that you can move freely. In Austin, I go to Alive + Well in Bee Cave  I recently found a practitioner for The Feldenkrais Method, here in Austin. Michelle Drerup is incredible: michelledrerup.com. I used to find acupuncture beneficial for pain and moved onto electro-acupuncture, combining ancient Eastern and Western medicine. For those in LA, head to Dr. Roy Page. I’m a huge fan of chiropractic healing and used to go to Dr. Har Hari at the Transformational Center in LA.  Pulse centers are all over the US, and their PEMF is excellent for soothing injuries and improving joint mobility. Check out episode #212: “PEMF Power! Speed Healing Pain & Injuries with Pulse Centers (Special Report).” I’ve dabbled with the Egoscue method, where practitioners train you to do specific exercises at home. Self-discipline is required! Nu-Fit is great. I just checked out their HQ, here in Austin, TX, with Alyson. TRT SoftWave Therapy. If you’re in Sarasota, Fl. Dr. John Lieurance is the guy to go to.  For supplements, the best thing is Kratom from superspeciosa.com and super clean. I just take 2-3 capsules if I’m in pain. It’s potentially addictive (although I’ve never found it to be the case). I always suggest that everyone examine their emotional pain before turning to an escape and using something like Kratom frequently.  Kava is a great natural alternative to Benzodiazepines, Xanax, and Valium, with no addiction risk. TRU KAVA is the only kava I touch. Go to: gettrukava.com. Enter “LUKE15” at checkout for 15% off.

It’s super strong, so sample ¼ to see how it works with your body chemistry.    39:17 —Megan: Is there a way to make deuterium-depleted water at home? I’ve done a lot of research on this and have interviewed many world experts, and I don’t believe you can make it at home.  Dry fasting and Keto can help your body deplete deuterium levels over time.  The best way to decrease deuterium is with drinking water like Litewater. A monthly subscription is $300 but it’s worth it.  Live Spring Water in LA, if you’re out there. Check out episodes:  #165: “Deuterium Depletion: The Most Powerful Health Hack You've Never Heard Of w/ Dr-Que Collins Dr. Laszlo Boros” #166: “Deuterium Depletion Revisited: The Missing Link w/ Dr. Anne Cooper” #340: “Unlocking the Mysteries of Quantum Technologies & EMF Protection”   46:46 — Nicole: What are the best non-toxic cookware brands? Most retail is completely toxic - non-stick Teflon is the worst! Stainless steel is a marketing lie, with most made from aluminum and nickel - both of which are very toxic. I love the natural and organic feel of Xtrema ceramic cookware.  All glass kettle for boiling water. Coffee makers and electric tea kettles can leech metals and plastics.   52:15 —Justin: What is the easiest and most effective way to structure water at home? I place my water near Somavedic devices.  Water in the sun in a Miron glass water tastes amazing. Run your water through a Vitalizer Plus Vortexer. Exposing water to my Joovv red light is a next-level bio-hack I love.  You can install a GRANDER unit into your house after fitting a filtration system to restructure your water from the mains into your house. I’m excited to install this in my home.   1:02:17—Narive: Any bio-hacks for improving executive function, multitasking, and processing speed?   Find what is stressing your brain function. Test for heavy metals and mitigate EMF in your home.  Encourage your brain to produce brainwaves on demand with neurofeedback.

Visit online.lukestorey.com/emf-class to join. Only $149! Are you aware of the dangers of EMF exposure in your home but have no idea where to start when it comes to finding and fixing them?  Are you concerned about your exposure to the current 3G, 4G, and 5G wireless networks now activated in most major cities? Have you attempted to test the levels yourself using EMF meters you found online and ended up confused and frustrated? EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are one of the most toxic elements in our living and work environments. Due to the technical nature of accurately testing for them—and the training required to do so properly—many of us resign ourselves to the fact that we just have to accept them and the consequences they bring in order to use the modern technology we depend on. But you don’t have to. In this seven-part video documentary series, you will follow world-renowned building biologist Brian Hoyer as he tests an entire home, room by room, to determine the source and level of every known type of EMF. By the end of this series, you will not only be thoroughly educated on the various types and sources of EMF commonly found in homes but also of the many mitigation tools and techniques available thanks to the cutting-edge technologies.

According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death. When most people think of stress, they think of their job, traffic, tense relationships, current events - things like that. But the root of so much of the stress we experience comes down to a deficiency in one overlooked nutrient: magnesium.

In this episode, I go off-grid with Mansal Denton, the founder of Sacred Hunting: an intentional hunter who combines plant medicines and indigenous practices into each hunt.  So many of us have become disconnected from what we consume, becoming all-too-accustomed to buying sterile cuts of meat in plastic, often from questionable sources. My recent voyage with Mansal reclaimed the innate human desire and necessity to live from the earth and interact with life and death with intention and respect. I reflect on my four-day ceremonial hunt and the breadth of emotions, judgments, and fears I faced when killing and skinning a wild boar.  Mansal Denton’s sacred and sensitive vision for hunting, framed by his six-year training with an indigenous Muskogee (Creek) medicine man, shreds any preconceived judgment that hunting is an egotistical expression of toxic masculinity. After experiencing his unique mastery of the field firsthand, I’ve witnessed the care and compassion he has for the land, its creatures, and humanity.  10:35 — Mansal’s Background, Rock Bottom and Prison Sentence Time spent in prison Ethnic-divisions in prison Restrictions post-sentence My own sports hunting experiences growing up    33:59 — Motivations to Start Hunting  Desire to get closer to his food Drive to express his aggression authentically  Thinking and consciously embodying masculinity Reflecting on his first kill  Ayahuasca lessons and healing    51:48 — Disconnect Between Eating Meat and Killing It Experiences being vegetarian  Connection to the natural life cycle Hierarchy of suffering in the wild vs. regenerative farming Creatures embodying their mission in the ecosystem DMT energetic release at death  Seeking connection to plants and animals   1:20:33 — Dealing with Animosity  Sports hunting and the perceived lack of consciousness Shadow and ego in the hunting community Indigenous hunting vs. Western hunting  Analyzing hierarchy in the ecosystem    1:34:38 — Training with Indigenous Cultures  How a Muskogee (Creek) medicine man gave him sacred hunting tools Relationship with rattlesnakes Sacred ceremonies during intentional hunting  Why he uses psychedelics on a hunt  Reconciling with the “way things are” after a kill Upleveling consciousness on a hunt    01:59:10 — The Future of Sacred Hunting  Democratizing sacred hunting practices  Plans to partner with land  Collaborating with women Reaction from traditional hunting groups Conservation efforts within the hunting community   More about this episode.

Yolande Norris-Clark cut the cord with western medicine after her traumatic first pregnancy and miscarriage at 19 years old. She broke away from the Western test tube of clinical hospitals, foreign metal instruments, and disconnected docs-in-white coats for the pure, serene, natural womb of the home. She has free-birthed eight children onto this planet, choosing to not partake in industrialized prenatal care, instead cultivating mental fortitude through meditation, nature, and independent (un)learning.  Together, we examine our personal traumatic birth stories and unpack the healing potential of free birth. She articulately explains how one can lean into the free birth experience if they feel called to do so. Lastly, we broach why traditional feminism has ignored the uncomfortable theme of birth in the women’s rights movement.  This enlightening conversation pushed me to the edge of my programming around the subject of childbirth and what we collectively deem as an appropriate birth experience to claim the “good” parent badge. The miracle of life has so many layers, and I’m in awe of ALL parents who make empowered decisions that align with their moral compass and lifestyle. I encourage everyone to listen with an open mind and heart, whatever your childbirth value system may be.    08:30 — From Lockdown to Liberation  Moving from Canada to Costa Rica during the pandemic Her huge family!  Her holistic parenting philosophy    18:50 — Processing Birth Guilt & Trauma How free births have helped heal her distressing entry to this planet Why cutting the umbilical cord is not beneficial to a baby’s health  Reconciling ancestral trauma through non-hospital births How the system disconnects us from truly knowing our own bodies The collective awakening happening right now Ayahuasca reflections on my experience in an incubator post-birth   36:44 — (Ultra) Sound Awakening Predatory ultrasound experience and subsequent miscarriage  Supporting spontaneous miscarriage at home The pivotal moment where she walked away from the hospital and never went back   54:11 — Defining Free Birth How “natural birth” has been politicized and miscategorized She thinks no hospital birth can be deemed natural  The characteristics of a “physiological birth” The current political situation with midwifery  Pre-birth education and deprogramming   1:17:14 — Leaning into Free Birth  Aligning yourself with the right birth experience meant for you The hallucinogenic energetics of birth and death  Her incredible experience using an underground midwife at 20 years old Ego death and surrender during birth  Cultivating mental fortitude  Reverence for the miracle of life – and death Pushing past indoctrinated birth fears  Stepping away from Industrial prenatal care   1:58:30 — What About Feminism?

I was stoked when I got the chance to speak to human performance expert, Steven Kotler, about discovering purpose by accessing a flow state, and unleashing passions from your vision board out into the real world.  Being “inflow” is a somewhat vague term frequently dropped in wellness circles that often lack the concrete tools to get you into that state or explain why it’s good for you. However, Steven’s performance principles, grounded in neuroscience, rigorous research, and real-life examples (myself being one of them), demonstrate how a flow state of mind can alter your daily routine and even your life’s trajectory.  We dig into some of Steven’s core principles from his most recent book, The Art of the Impossible, and dissect the best ways to approach your dreaded to-do list so that you can squeeze more juice – with a dash of Dopamine – out of your everyday life.    12:02 — What Do We Mean by Peak Performance?

And one of the non-negotiables in my life is getting my daily dose of healthy light, which is why I’ve been using Joovv red light therapy devices for years now. And Joovv’s new Generation 3.0 devices are sleeker and lighter, with all the same power you'd come to expect. They also include some cool features like Recovery Plus mode, which can give you an extra healing boost that optimizes the recovery process. They've also got a new feature called ambient mode, which uses lower intensity light to support your sleep and circadian rhythms, and to help counteract all of the artificial blue light that keeps you up at night that might be present in your home. You can get an exclusive discount on Joovv Generation 3.0 devices at www.Joovv.com/luke.   AND...   LMNT. Electrolytes are essential for an optimal lifestyle – they help not only with training & recovery, but also with fasting, low energy, fatigue, headaches, and they help curb cravings and regulate the keto flu when transitioning to a ketogenic diet. LMNT is already being used by Navy SEALS, U.S. Olympians, and pro athletes from the NBA and NFL for hydration and recovery. And, they are co-founded by Robb Wolf - a trusted friend, biochemist, NY Times best-selling author, and proven leader in the health and wellness space. Get a free 8-pack sample from LMNT right now – just pay shipping – by visiting DrinkLMNT.com/Luke.   AND…   TRU KAVA Kava is nature’s most powerful anxiety reliever that has also been shown to boost mood, mental clarity, and deep sleep by naturally restoring GABA levels in the brain over time. However, due to contamination with toxic plant parts and low-quality extraction processes, most kava products currently on the market contain little to none of these benefits. TRU KAVA products are 3rd party lab tested for quality and safety and are made using proprietary solvent-free extraction methods that capture the full traditional kava experience, packaged in tasty ready to use forms. TRU KAVA is available in both a pristine oil form called KAVAPLEX and in the brand new ELEVATE Kava Shots.
