Welcome to the third and final installment of our Water Wars Trilogy, featuring Mukhunde Singh of www.livespringwater.com. Mukhunde is the man responsible for making sure I have a consistent supply of the most pristine spring water on earth, delivered right to my kitchen in LA every two weeks. He's been dedicated to his mission of educating people about the numerous benefits of drinking unprocessed water, directly from nature for over a decade.The reason I have chosen to deliver such a focused podcast trilogy is that after over a decade of personal research and development, I have decided to drink natural, wild, unadulterated spring water almost exclusively. However, in recent months there have been thousands of fake news web articles and television reports about the supposed 'dangers' of people drinking such water. The vast majority of recent media stories have positioned the practice of drinking unprocessed spring water as a 'new, dangerous trend' as if humans have not managed to survive on the planet for

Welcome to the second installment of our Water Wars trilogy, featuring Seth Leaf Pruzansky of Tourmaline Springs. In this episode, our guest delivers a profoundly spiritual, yet practical point of view of water, one of natures greatest gifts to all life on earth.Have you ever wondered what water is, where it comes from, and why it's so crucial to our survival? Are you aware that your body and brain are mostly water? If we are made primarily of water, then wouldn't it stand to reason that our top health priority should be learning everything we can about this substance, and how to find the best possible source?When it comes to the water we drink and bathe in, there are thousands of choices, and most of them come with considerable health risks. Tap water is subject to endless sources of toxic contamination, despite the various forms of filtration available, and much of the bottled water on the market comes with challenges of its own - which in most cases puts it in the same lower class of safety as tap water, n

This is a story about how our host, Marcus Antebi changed my life.The year was 2010. I was a vegetarian at the time, beginning to travel from LA to NYC more frequently for my work in the fashion industry. I remember the sheer terror of landing at JFK, usually at night, starving, then taxiing into the city to start the hunt for something made of plants to eat. It's hard to imagine now, but a mere ten years ago it was almost impossible to find organic restaurants in Manhattan, let alone something vegan or vegetarian. Sources were scarce, and it was even harder to locate something green to eat after a grueling flight across the country had sapped my veggie-hunting energy into oblivion.Then on one of those trips, as my good fortune would have it, I happened to be staying at a hotel on the Lower East Side. As I wandered the crowded streets of my temporary neighborhood resigned to the fact that I would probably have to settle for a bowl of MSG-laden Chinese veggies and rice for dinner, I suddenly saw something that

Have you ever found yourself repeating the same negative patterns in life, caught in a perpetual cycle of frustration and confusion, left without a clue as to how you end up in the same painful situations again and again?Perhaps you've had some persistent issues that were challenging enough to get you into therapy or counseling at some point. Maybe you read a few self-help books. You found yourself able to pinpoint, at least to some degree- the origins of your mental and emotional dysfunction. You might have even figured out that most of your destructive behavior has manifested at least to some degree as a result of trauma, neglect, or abuse you endured as a child. Most of the clues probably led back to your parents’ shortcomings as incompetent early 'life coaches.’ You learn a bit about yourself, and your subconscious motives and egoic drives. You have a few breakthroughs. You get to the root of your problems. But do you ever really CHANGE? Have you ever been able to entirely break free from your 'old' self,

Did you know that the world we perceive with our five senses represents but a fraction of the reality that surrounds us? Beyond our standard perception lies an infinite realm, with dimensions of time snd space seldom experienced by most people. What would it be like if you were able to see, feel, and hear a metaphysical, phenomenal universe right here on earth? It's hard to imagine something you've not yet experienced, is it not? As we learn from this conversation, just because you can't experience the supernatural, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. In this episode, we explore non-physical reality with modern day shaman and healer Mama Medicine, AKA Deborah Hanekamp. Since she was a little girl, Deborah has been able to see and experience realms of reality seldom perceptible by most people. Over the years she's learned to hone her skills and to channel her healing abilities in the most powerful of ways and to help people work through a vast spectrum of challenges both physical, mental, and spiritual.

Do you believe that as you age, your health and energy have to decline, and that eventual disease is unavoidable? There is a widespread misconception that aging equals illness. Luckily, through lifestyle changes, alternative medicine, and various natural healing modalities, we now have the power to alter the course of our future, and defy the odds that lean toward our eventual decline into degenerative disease and premature aging.Our guest Dr. Jane Goldberg takes us on a journey through her last 30+ years as an anti-aging enthusiast. She might just be one of the world's first female biohackers, and has such a rich history in the realm of natural healing that we could barely fit this dense interview into two full-length interviews.Jane and I spent over three hours in her cutting-edge La Casa Spa and Wellness Center in New York City, trying out all of the various health tech gadgets she uses in her practice, and chatting about everything she's discovered in her three decades of research.If you're interested in

In today's climate of spiritual trends, meditation has become one of the hottest. And of course, right? I mean, after all, one of the most axiomatic principles ever uttered by a human is ‘know thyself,' right? And what better way to get to know yourself, but to spend some time alone in silence.But how long would it take to benefit from the practice of quiet introspection? How long could you be silent? How many hours per day could you enjoy (or tolerate) a sitting meditation? How about ten or twenty days without talking to a single soul, spending hour after hour just sitting there doing NOTHING. To some, this prospect sounds like heaven and of course, to others who are less acquainted with their inner selves, this idea might seem utterly terrifying.Our guest Diego Perez (AKA Yung Pueblo) is a veteran of many an inner journey and provides us with a fascinating play by play report on precisely what happens on a Vipassana silent meditation retreat.From this episode, you'll gain a deep understanding of not only th

Do you live a healthy lifestyle? If you found your way to this podcast, it's likely that you eat organically, take your vitamins, and do your best to avoid toxins in your environment. You drink clean water, filter your air, and use natural cleaning and body care products. You workout, do yoga, run, and get plenty of good sleep. But what if you were missing a huge piece of the health puzzle? Maybe even the most critical part?The truth is that no matter how health conscious you are, in today's industrialized world we are all exposed to thousands of chemicals on a daily basis. Our air, water, food, earth, and even the buildings we live and work in have been polluted with toxins for at least the past 150 years. It is virtually impossible to avoid the physical accumulation of these substances no matter how much you try. It's almost guaranteed that your body was loaded with a toxic burden before you were even born, due to the environmental and dietary exposure you mother received before and during pregnancy. In thi

Do you like to get high? Come on, you can admit it. You might not fancy smoking crack in a back alley, but chances are better than even that if you have a pulse, at some point in your life you have used something to alter your state of mind. Your drug of choice might have been chocolate, or maybe just refreshing your Instagram feed one more time, but no matter who you are, we all like to get that hit. To feel happy- to feel free. Or at the very least, distracted.Since the beginning of time, humans have loved to expand their perception of reality and to explore the unknown realms of their inner universe. Through our evolution, we've systematically discovered every mind-altering substance on the planet, and if we couldn't find it, we made it. We've erected sophisticated laboratories, and scoured the jungle floors of The Amazon, all in the great pursuit of getting off. No matter what means we've used to expand our consciousness, the basic fact remains: By and large; people like to get lit.However, when most of u

Would you like to be able to hit your flow state on demand? Can you imagine having command over your mental focus, creativity, memory, and even your emotions? What a different world it would be if we humans held the power optimize our consciousness, and as a result, our psychological relationship to each other, and to the planet we all inhabit.Our guest Daniel Schmachtenberger has dedicated his life to figuring out simple solutions to complex problems. The world is a complicated place. Health and happiness tend to elude many of us, due to how overwhelming it can be to figure it all out. Most of us have a desire to make a positive contribution to the world and to derive meaning from our lives, but often don’t know where to start.But to effect positive change globally, we each need a method by which to improve ourselves on a micro level, before branching out to make the monumental changes we likely need to thrive, or perhaps even survive, as a species. Daniel believes that more significant societal issues will

How do you make a baby? You just add male and female bits together, and nine months later out pops a cute little tike right? Sure, that's accurate at its core, but what if you want to make a healthy baby? A healthy baby is a whole other story altogether. There are so many things to consider,  such as the two-year detox process the mother (and even father) need to embark on before conception, including the cessation of birth control pills. Then there's the period of gestation, when the mother needs to protect and nourish her body, to increase the likelihood of complication-free birth. Once the first nine months have passed, and the time of actual delivery arrives, there are endless, and profoundly impactful considerations regarding where and how to deliver the baby. The most meaningful decision is of course whether or not to have a home or hospital birth- a natural, or medicalized experience. Both have their risks and benefits. 
Then once the little one arrives into this world, parents are

Welcome to the first episode of 2018!Right about now we're all thinking about our goals and intentions for the new year and making decisions that will shape our future for this one and beyond. This means that most of us are planning strategies, and lists of actions that will deliver the results we want. But is not the common goal of almost everyone to just be happier? More satisfied? To have more peace of mind?Well what if the actions one needs to take aren't actions at all, but rather 'non-actions'? I mean, if the end goal is peace then it stands to reason that perhaps taking some time to unwind, de-stress, and unscramble our connection to god might just be the fastest route to our desired outcome right?Our (second time) guest Emily Fletcher has spent over a decade teaching thousands of people all over the world the fine art of doing nothing. Well, some casual onlookers might call it nothing. But for those of us in the know, myself included, we call it meditating. Yep, good old-fashioned meditation might jus

Welcome to the New Years Eve 2017 Bootleg Broadcast Episode!Today’s show is a live recording of a mindfulness talk I gave October 27th, 2017 in my hometown, Aspen Colorado. The event was recorded at Aspen Shakti, the day before I led a meditation at the Lead With Love festival. The Shakti talk was arguably the most intimate and vulnerable public presentation I've ever given. It was a considerable act of courage just to show up and be as open-hearted as I was, but even more so to follow through with releasing it as a podcast episode. I sat on this recording for a couple of months, not sure if I was ready to publish such a brutally personal presentation. I bared my soul. I talked about my past as a criminal, drug dealer, drug addict, and many of my most profound and most personal struggles and insecurities. I even spoke about my spirituality- my relationship with GOD. I cried. Twice. I mean, who in their right mind records that, then puts it out into cyberspace? Well, I guess I do if it serves a higher purpose.

If you're reading this, the chances are that you're relatively interested in your health. You know, taking your vitamins, eating organic, hitting the gym, or some yoga here and there, right? Or perhaps you've chosen to make your health a top priority, and taken your lifestyle to the level of a legit biohacker? That's when things get exciting right? You know, all the fancy gadgets, exotic herbs, weird breathing techniques, and endless bottles of costly 'magic bullet' supplements. With each new device, pill, or practice, comes more guesswork, research, trial, and error, and let's face it- a grip of out-of-pocket expenses. And if you live in a big city, the toxic impact on your biology is even more significant, and thus so is the need for self-directed intervention if you want to achieve optimal health and well-being.But what if 90% of your efforts were in vain? What if all of your self-diagnostic, or 'Dr. Google' tests were bunk? How do you ever know if you're spending your time and energy on the stuff that wor

Welcome to The 2017 Christmas Show! I elected to release an extraordinarily profound episode on this very auspicious day, and in celebration of a beautiful holiday tradition, decided to feature an older, wise man with a long, white beard as our special guest. However, our Yogic Santa won't be dropping down your chimney to eat up your cookies and milk. Instead, he'll be taking a journey down into your soul- to deliver his transformative message of mysticism to the core of your being. Sounds a lot cooler than the new Sony Play Station, does it not?Life is full of unanswered questions. Here are a few you might have asked yourself at some point if you're of the spiritually curious ilk:What is our higher consciousness? How do we access it, and operate from that universal cosmic intelligence with more consistency? It seems as though the ego-self is waiting at every turn for us to lose sight of it, and allow it to take command of our thoughts and feelings, and thus force us to live at the whims of our lower, instinc
