The Life Stylist Podcast

You are in for a real treat today because, as a Christmas gift from me to you, I’m sharing one of the biggest and most thorough episodes I’ve ever released. Ben Greenfield came over to my house and we went through every single supplement, smart drug, nootropic, herb, and biohack on the entire property. We then turned this into a full-length documentary film and this monster of a podcast. I learned so much from Ben while we did this, and there is just so much valuable information packed into this episode. I am really happy with how it all came together and I am stoked to finally be sharing it with all of you! I’ve been asked on multiple occasions how we can live our lives without either moving into the middle of nowhere or sacrificing some aspect of our physical, mental, and emotional health. Well, here you go — the complete biohacker’s guide to living an optimal life in the city in 2020. Kitchen Supplements...

Although I spent years working in and around Hollywood, I don’t have a lot of actors or industry folks on the show. But I am really interested in the physical, mental, and emotional preparation that goes into preparing for these huge projects because, in a lot of ways, that parallels my own work in the wellness and biohacking space. It’s also not often that you get an actor who wants to geek out about all of these lifestyle and spirit hacks quite as much as our guest today, Carrie-Anne Moss. Her IMDB reads like a short novel, but a lot of us know her best from playing Trinity in The Matrix, a movie that also has a lot of surprising parallels to my work and this show. Not because I hang out with Keanu Reeves or do mind-bending martial arts, although I do usually wear sunglasses, but because so many of us today are constantly confronted with “red pill moments” — those moments when you realize that the reality you have been accepting as fact is just a facsimile of your perceptions, malleable and impermanent. It

We’re keeping the Q&A train rolling this week, and there’s no sign of it slowing down — because there are so many fantastic questions being asked by the bright, inquisitive minds in The Lifestylist Facebook Group! Bright minds like Barbara, Cindy, and Joanna, who asked the questions I’m focusing on this week. Come join us, watch the next episode live (you can do that on Instagram, too), and ask any questions you might have about biohacking, health, spirituality, or life in general. Barbara asks: How about ozone and mistletoe extract therapy for cancer treatment? (6:05) When it comes to cancer, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure: Avoid glyphosate and pesticides (harder than you might think) Avoid blue light at night Reduce GMOs EMF shield your bedroom Avoid seed and vegetable oils, except coconut and olive oil Avoid grains and gluten Exercise regularly Practice red light therapy and safe sun exposure One of my favorite thought leaders talking about this topic is Dr. Mark Sircus RA Opt

Wynford Dore was an incredibly successful businessman, founding two multi-million dollar businesses as a young man. But when his daughter was nine years old, she was diagnosed with dyslexia and told that this was just the way life would be moving forward. She became increasingly depressed, eventually attempting to take her own life. So, 20 years ago, Wynford sold his businesses, bought the latest neurological testing equipment developed for NASA, and recruited therapists, doctors, and medical researchers to dive deep into how our brains develop — and why, sometimes, they don’t. They transformed the lives of 45,000 children and adults, including Wynford’s daughter, and the world’s media started reporting on the success. You might be thinking to yourself right now, “But wait, I’ve never heard of a treatment for these learning disabilities” — and you’re right. Because the medical and educational industries didn’t react kindly to the introduction of drug-free, highly effective methodologies for addressing chronic

Michael Trainer is the founder of Peak Mind, a social action platform created after his father was diagnosed with dementia as a way to bring the peak minds of our time together to help those all over the world live happier, healthier lives and inspire them to their highest potential. Part of Peak Mind is a podcast designed to help people navigate the unique challenges and opportunities of 21st-century living. I am so grateful that Michael asked me to be a part of the show, and I thought this conversation turned out great, so I wanted to share it with all of you, too!   Topics Discussed In This Episode: My first earnest prayer The turning point in my journey through addiction Opening up to something greater than myself The payday that pulled me down to rock bottom The full mental, physical, and emotional detox that I needed before I could move forward Calling out your own BS The roots of addiction Longing to belong How my obsession with self-destruction has shifted into an obsession with self-care Leveraging

We’re heading deep into the wild with one of the best possible tour guides: Daniel Vitalis, a modern-day hunter-gatherer, a great friend, the founder of the nutrition company Surthrival, and the person who taught me so much of what I know about living a nature-integrated life (without moving into a bunker in the middle of the woods forever). Daniel’s newest endeavor is WildFed, a show, podcast, and lifestyle brand inspiring others to live a wild-food journey of their own and participate in much-needed conversations on sustainably harvesting, cooking, and eating wild foods. I’m lucky enough to have seen some of season one already and you are not going to want to miss this. Because WildFed is not about traveling to exotic locales and it’s definitely not about doing it for the ‘Gram. it’s about the wild food that’s freely available in your local landscape, at the edges of your town or city, and sometimes just outside your door. It’s an endeavor to undomesticate yourself and experience the physical, emotional, a

Before we get into today’s episode, I just want to thank all of you. I started these Q&A episodes a couple of months ago as an experiment and I’ve been blown away by the positive feedback and questions you’ve been sending my way. These are a blast for me to do and I love that it’s becoming a regular thing now. I also want to say that I’m not a doctor. I don’t even play one on TV. However, I have spent the last few years finding and talking to the most forward-thinking doctors, wellness experts, spiritual leaders, and biohackers around — and I love sharing what I’ve learned with all of you. If you want to ask some questions, come join us in The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group! It’s completely free, and you can even watch these Q&A sessions live in the future. Jonathan wants to know more about hyperbaric oxygen chambers, which are actually great for everything from travel recovery to managing Lyme disease to treating erectile dysfunction. Tiffany asked about my rewilding experiences and how I strik

Paleo f(x)™ is one of the first, biggest, and most successful conferences in the health and wellness space — so, if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’ve already heard of or been to it. But how much do you know about the Paleo f(x)™ co-founders, Keith and Michelle Norris, and their incredible story? Unfortunately, as is too often the case, this story begins with a tragedy, when their daughter Brittani was killed in a car accident just days before her 23rd birthday. But in that short time, Brittani managed to transform countless lives. And at her memorial service, hundreds of people grieved with Keith and Michelle and shared the profound ways that Brittani had touched their lives.  It was at that moment that Keith and Michelle knew they had to carry on her legacy by giving back and helping others transform their lives for the better. And, seven years after the first Paleo f(x)™ conference, I think it’s clear that they’re off to a great start.  This episode is also a great starting point for anyone

Ninka-Bernadette Mauritson is a journalist, health influencer, bestselling writer, and health coach. Her son was diagnosed with autism at the age of four, but she was able to turn all of his symptoms around and she believes that the current autism epidemic is a “big wakeup call” to mothers and the Western world. For years, her son spent weekends in institutions due to constant screaming, tantrums, aggression, sleeplessness, and no eye contact. No one in their family was sleeping through the night. But, together, they were able to eliminate every symptom in just three years.  Because Ninka wasn’t willing to keep playing the victim, which she sees a lot of in the autism community and she experienced firsthand. She started traveling around the world to learn from doctors who specialized in nutrition and lifestyle for autism. She had to find a way to respect her son’s bio-individuality, understand him, and overcome picky eating and overwhelm.  Ninka not only succeeded but found a holistic method that no one else

Back in episode 221, the Wellness Mama herself, Katie Wells, helped answer my biggest questions on birth, babies, and homeschooling kids. I also had the opportunity to go on The Wellness Mama Podcast, and I wanted to share the awesome conversation we had in case you haven’t heard it yet. We delve into some of the darkest moments of my life, moving forward after trauma, becoming The Life Stylist — and, of course, we talk about raising kids, including our thoughts on circumcision (spoiler: I’m not a fan). Honestly, I could talk to Katie about this stuff for hours. She’s a wealth of wisdom and I love the way she’s supporting a generation of young parents who want to raise conscious children. So give it a listen, and if you enjoy it, go show Katie some love!   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Luke’s tumultuous childhood, and how he overcame drug addiction to become a successful fashion stylist and motivational speaker The spiritual awakenings that led him to find meaning in suffering How to teach kids to be vul

An old proverb says, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel.” Really, this is why I started this podcast in the first place. My goal for the past few years has been reversing all the damage that Young Luke did to this meat suit and healing the scars left in my subconscious that continue to undermine my life and success — and only a fool would try to do that alone. That’s also why I created The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group. Not because I consider myself wise counsel, but because this group is stacked with some extremely experienced biohackers, forward thinkers, and spiritual seekers that can help answer just about any question you or I might have. But I have learned a few things from the experts I talk to on this show and I’m still researching new biohacks, methodologies, and spiritual practices almost every single day, and I love sharing what I’m experimenting with and what’s working for me. So, today I’m going to answer a few more questions from the group. Kate

Back when Dr. Scott Sherr started learning about integrative and holistic medicine, pretty much everything that wasn’t in a little orange bottle got lumped under the umbrella term “alternative medicine” — which is to say, yes, Dr. Sherr is a real medical doctor, but he’s a very progressive health practitioner and he’s been exposed to these ideas for pretty much his entire life. So, while there’s no love lost between me and the medical-industrial complex, I have a lot of respect for people like Dr. Sherr who advocate for more effective and more personalized healthcare solutions for everyone. And, in this episode, he will teach you everything you need to know about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), a relatively new medical technology with profound healing potential. If you’re not familiar, HBOT involves sitting in a high-pressure oxygen environment. The oxygen-rich air drives up to 1200% more oxygen into the bloodstream and other fluids, super-saturating the body with oxygen to drive the regeneration of damaged

The last time I talked to John Gray — author of the most well-known and trusted relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus — we had an incredible conversation about his spiritual journey... before we turned on the microphone! So, when I had a chance to sit down with John at the Health Optimisation Summit, I wasn’t going to miss my second opportunity to record some of these stories.  From partying at Woodstock, to hanging out with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to participating in an energy healing practice that saved someone from a fresh cobra bite, we explore the twists and turns of John’s spiritual journey and how it has influenced his work on sex and relationships. And there’s a lot more overlap there than you might think. Because, whether you’re seeking to nurture your personal relationship or do the inner work to foster the relationship with yourself, your goal is ultimately the same: transformation, peace, and fulfillment. This is a peek into the life of a man who has helped thousand

Lori Harder is the founder of The Bliss Project, a three-time fitness world champion, a cover model turned self-love junkie, a lifestyle entrepreneur, and the host of Earn Your Happy. Each episode of Earn Your Happy is designed to give listeners the tools, ideas, and inspiration they need to take action — so I was extremely grateful when Lori invited me to be a guest on the show! I felt an instant connection with Lori and, right away, this episode starts to get raw and vulnerable.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Luke’s diverse background in music, fashion, speaking, health and wellness and how it led him to the present moment The balance of talent and passion How Luke got his start in fashion styling Living in different purposes throughout one’s life The need for significance and one’s interpretation of humility Integrating the ego with one’s endeavors and work Not attaching worth to one’s gifts The importance of staying teachable The pursuit of pleasure How Luke is getting clear on who he is and what he

Welcome to my birthday show! I was born on this day, October 29th, 1970. That makes me a Scorpio, and also so grateful to take my 49th trip around the sun. Today's show is a live recording of a talk I recently gave in London at the Health Optimisation Summit, a two-day immersive experience where attendees discover the tools, hacks, technologies, and techniques to optimize their health for life. I was honored to be one of the speakers as well as the MC at their premiere event, and I’m excited to be part of this community as it continues to grow and change the world. My lecture was around something I call Practical Spirituality, which is about discovering and applying underlying fundamental metaphysical truths that are freely available to everyone, and that have the power to truly transform your life.  As any listener of this show knows, I'm deeply committed to physical health and natural healing, but after over twenty-two years of hardcore self-improvement research and development, I'm more convinced than ever

A few years ago, I heard about some people drinking this new coffee loaded with butter, and I thought it was one of the craziest health fads ever. How could loading up on cholesterol and caffeine be good for you? But then I did a little research, ordered some coffee, and my life was forever changed. The coffee, of course, was Bulletproof, and this high-fat diet business is clearly a lot more than a fad. And after investing more than $1M over a twenty-year single-minded crusade to upgrade the human being using every available technology, Dave Asprey, the man behind the coffee, is still asking himself the same question: What are the simplest, most effective ways you can be better at everything you do as a human being? And, lately, Dave’s been finding answers to this question by turning inward. So, today, Dave Asprey is going to share what he’s learned about the inner work of biohacking; what you can do to upgrade not just your body, but your mind and very existence. Are you ready to start living better?   Topic

Today, we’re sharing a conversation Luke Storey had with past guest Lacy Phillips on her show, the EXPANDED Podcast.  Luke shares his journey of going from a young drug addict, to a celebrity stylist, to becoming a speaker, coach, and entrepreneur. He shares his lowest points as a heroin addict, his journey to getting sober, his consciousness practices, and accessible ways in which anyone can improve their mental and physical health by aligning with the rhythms of nature.  This episode is a powerful expander for anyone interested in biohacking, consciousness, and sobriety.   Topics Discussed in This Episode: Luke’s upbringing with a quasi-hippie mom and cowboy dad Growing up in Northern California and getting into drugs in elementary school Having his first spiritual experiences while listening to music Moving to Los Angeles and playing in bands Going to boarding school and getting sober for the first time at age 14-16 Hopping from addiction to addiction The rock bottoms that made him realize he needed to

Today, it’s just me, Cookie, and a microphone — that’s right, community Q&A is back! A few weeks ago, I answered some questions asked by the badass biohackers and soul searchers in The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group. Due to popular demand, and the fact that I love sitting down with all of the listener questions, we’re going to make this a regular thing moving forward. I’m stoked.  If you want to have some of your questions answered, come and join the tribe in our FB group. Not only is it likely that I will answer your questions in a future episode, but there are many other extremely experienced biohackers, forward thinkers, and spiritual seekers in the group who might be able to answer your questions even better than I can.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Be your own guru — I just want to share the signposts as we traverse this trail to health and happiness together Who are the most influential guests that Luke has interviewed & what impact have they had on his life? The most important thin

I don’t do a lot of shows about fitness because as important as I think it is, it’s just not been something I’ve ever enjoyed. So I do it because it makes me feel good, not because I like it.  Luckily, it’s been getting exponentially easier for me to get into fitness (or just get my exercise over with and on with my day, at least) because there are some incredible innovations being made in fitness technology. And when I find a new routine or piece of tech that’s affordable, effective, and safe, I like to share it with everyone I know. I mean, who doesn’t want to get all of the benefits of being a person who exercises without spending hours every week in the gym? That’s why today’s episode is all about the CAR.O.L, an exercise bike that provides the same cardio benefits of a 45-minute jog in under 9 minutes — with only 40 seconds of hard work — by leveraging both what science knows about how the human body evolved and A.I.-powered algorithms that dynamically optimize your resistance so you hit max intensity le

You are a being of light, literally and biophysically.  Your cells emit biophotons, or ultra-weak ultraviolet light, which then trigger the process of mitosis. So the thing that we’re told causes skin cancer is the same thing that our cells are using to signal cell division, a foundational piece of biological function. Our guest, Matt Maruca, is fascinated by seeming contradictions like this — when what we’re told by the leading authorities seems to contradict logic and common sense — and then he starts asking questions. Matt’s investigation of light led him to founding Ra Optics, makers of the world's finest blue light blocking glasses, and creating The Light Diet, a diet that directly addresses the root of the modern chronic disease epidemic and mitochondrial dysfunction. But he’s not done yet, and today, we invite you to start asking some questions, too. We need to start getting intentional about the light in our homes, in our workplaces, in our children’s schools, and in our cities — and we need to start
