Wednesday, April 24, 2024 • Duration 01:10:45
“There are some individual needs that every human being has. And if you can find that deficiency and put that raw material back into the human body, those people thrive in ways they never thought possible.” –Gary Brecka
You’re not just getting old. It’s not because your job is stressful or your kids are tiring you out. Your brain fog, weight gain, poor sleep, poor focus… They’re a sign that you're nutrient deficient.
Gary Brecka says nutrient deficiencies are impacting our genetic function and our body’s ability to heal itself. The good news? This can be easily fixed.
Gary is a leading biohacker, professional human biologist, podcast host, co-founder of 10X Health, and the founder of The Ultimate Human.

In this episode, Gary reveals the secrets of his $120,000 superhuman protocol, FOR FREE.

EMF & Bluetooth: Protect Yourself from Infertility, Insomnia & Cancer with Nick Pineault
Season 1 · Episode 8
Wednesday, April 10, 2024 • Duration 48:55
“Brain tumours and how it impacts children, and then fertility. We have a crisis worldwide in the Western nations. Quite simply, it’s draining our batteries.” –Nick Pineault
We’ve been led to believe that non-ionising EMF radiation from your mobile phone, Wi-Fi router, and Bluetooth headphones is safe – and if you disagree, you’re a conspiracy theorist. But that’s based on biassed, out-of-date research.
New research is in and it’s not good.
This type of radiation has been linked to cancer, infertility, insomnia, depression, and more!
So how do we avoid it when it’s all around us?
“The EMF Guy,” Nick Pineault, is THE go-to expert on the subject. He’s the author of The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs: How to Fix Our Stupid Use of Technology. It’s a comprehensive look at the dangers of EMFs and what you can do to mitigate the effects of EMFs on your health.
In this episode, Nick explores the most up-to-date literature on the subject of EMFs, including the link between holding a phone to your head and brain tumours, how phones in your pocket can cause infertility, and how EMFs may be giving children behavioural problems.
He also offers practical tips on how to reduce your EMF exposure without having to ditch all your modern conveniences and plunge yourself back into the Stone Age.

How You (and Your Kids!) Can Improve Brain Health & Mental Resilience with Dr Daniel Amen
Season 1 · Episode 7
Wednesday, March 27, 2024 • Duration 01:01:16
“Freud was wrong. Penis envy is not the cause of anybody’s problem. It’s the brain. The thing you really want bigger, better, healthier, is your brain.” -Dr. Daniel Amen
Fast food, caffeine, alcohol, the news–these modern health disasters leave a physical imprint on our brains, that you can actually SEE on a brain scan.
Today’s guest, Dr. Daniel Amen, says mental health conditions like anxiety, depression and ADD are actually brain health issues, and knowing this makes them easier to treat, especially in our kids. For example, he gives these startling statistics:
54% of teenage girls report being persistently sad.
34% have thought of suicide.
24% have planned to kill themselves and 13% have tried.
“This is unlike anything we have experienced in my lifetime, maybe ever,” he says. “It’s a shit show. And nobody’s talking about the actual physical health of their brain.”
Dr. Amen is a physician, and adult and child psychiatrist. He’s a 12-time New York Times bestselling author of numerous books, including Change Your Brain, Change Your Life; The End of Mental Illness; and Healing ADD.
He co-authored his newest title, Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with renowned child psychologist Charles Fay, Ph.D., president of the Love and Logic Institute, Inc.
Dr. Amen turned to psychiatry for help after his wife tried ending her life. He fell in love with the profession. But he realised it was the only medical speciality that doesn’t treat the organ itself. He set out on a mission to change that.
Since founding Amen Clinics, he’s scanned over 250,000 brains and created the world’s largest database of brain scans for psychiatry.
In this episode, Dr. Amen explains how the modern world is damaging the very structure of our brains, and reveals how we can start properly caring for this hidden organ. He explores the cognitive decline caused by fast food, alcohol, coffee, and obesity. And he shares the shocking truth of child mental illness, while teaching us all how to raise and parent mentally resilient kids.
Fix Your Negative Thoughts and Traumas with Cognitive Hypnotherapy - with Trevor Silvester
Season 1 · Episode 6
Wednesday, March 13, 2024 • Duration 51:42
Break anxiety, phobias, addictions and gain control over anything in your life with cognitive hypnotherapy.
“Potentially anything that the mind creates, cognitive hypnotherapy can help with” –Trevor Silvester
Can’t stop biting your nails? Constantly feeling down or anxious? Struggling to lose weight? Can’t kick that addiction? Try cognitive hypnotherapy!
When Trevor Silvester founded the Quest Institute, he introduced the idea of combining hypnosis with cognitive behavioural therapy, and the results have been extraordinary. This breakthrough method of therapy doesn’t just treat symptoms with a one–size–fits–all approach, it gets to the root cause of a person’s issues–and gives them the tools to gain control over anything in their life.
Trevor’s innovative therapy approach turned Tim’s life around, helping him sell a company, get into biohacking, and better understand those around him. That success compelled Tim to join Quest as a practitioner, and Trevor became his mentor for more than five years.
In this episode, Trevor explains the hypnotic language of wordweaving, a tool that gave Tim the life-changing line, “follow the fun.”
The conversation explores the different trance states we all live in, and how cognitive hypnotherapy isn’t about hypnotising you to get better, but de-hypnotising you from what you thought was wrong.
And, as Trevor explains, we each have the answer to solve our own problems locked within us.
