176: How to fix your sleep and transform your health with Dr. Peter Martone 12/12/2024

176: How to fix your sleep and transform your health with Dr. Peter Martone Sharing a new podcast episode with about sleep, how sleep posture affects your health, and tips you can implement right now. We talk about: - How sleep posture impacts your health - The ideal sleep posture - Keys to getting a great night’s sleep and so.much.more. 176: How to fix your sleep and transform your health with Dr. Peter Martone Here’s more about Dr. Martone and his background: is an educator and patient care practitioner who has been focused on improving patient’s biomechanics for over 23 years during his private practice as a chiropractor. Dr. Martone always believed that the structure of your spine effects the function of the central nervous system, and this principle is the cornerstone of his practice. Dr. Martone’s core belief is that the central nervous system controls every function in the human body and in order to be able to express true health you have to keep your nervous system healthy. When your spine falls out of alignment due to poor spinal mechanics, it interferes with the proper function of the nervous system thus throwing the body out of balance. Peter’s mission is to help as many people as possible achieve optimal health function and performance so they can reach their full potential in life. During his 23 years of practice, Dr. Martone found it harder and harder to keep his patients aligned due to the stress of the modern-day lifestyle on their posture. His patients were coming in with the same problems which inspired him to come up with an innovative solution to help correct patients spines while they sleep. He worked with designers and engineers to create the Neck Nest, his newest product that helps correct patients spines while they sleep. ’s revolutionary concepts are designed to help restore proper biomechanics of the spine by adopting a neutral sleeping position, helping you sleep better, live longer and be healthier. His techniques have been featured on CBS, NBC, Fox News, Dave Asprey’s Upgraded Conference, and over 50 podcasts as he travels the world teaching people how to regain their health by mastering the art of sleeping.

171: The power of adaptogens with Brian Murphy 08/29/2024

171: The power of adaptogens with Brian Murphy Hi friends! I’m so excited to welcome to the podcast today! I tracked him down at the Biohacking Conference because I loved their mission, and his overall energy and vibe. I could tell he was just a genuine, cool, positive person, and I knew he’d be an amazing fit for the show. Here’s what we talk about today: - What are adaptogens and how do they work? - Our broken food system and the purpose behind Living Prana - Cultivating a positive mindset and creating motivation, even when you don’t feel like it - His tips for being Healthy In Real Life - and so.much.more. 171: The power of adaptogens with Brian Murphy Here’s more about Brian and his background: Brian is the CEO and co-founder of LIVING PRANA, a functional food company transforming unhealthy packaged foods with nutrient-dense superfoods. He is a champion for reform of a U.S. food system to provide food that creates health, raising the bar on transparency, integrity and sustainability for the businesses feeding America. A former investment banker and strategic growth leader, he has invested in, advised, and built businesses for the past 15 years, working shoulder-to-shoulder with many entrepreneurs and leading growth for private equity-backed and public companies. Brian is a Chartered Financial Analyst. Combining this business experience with mindfulness practices, Brian is leading an evolution into a new conscious business paradigm that is accountable to its community, stakeholders and to the planet. In 2016, Brian hit a radical turning point as significant stressors drove his physical and mental health into a crisis – he called off a wedding, lost 65 pounds and sold his first business. This unlocked his passion to inspire others to prioritize their well-being using food as medicine after saving his own physical and mental health with functional foods. As Brian furthered his spiritual discovery, the path illuminated for him to create businesses that fulfill a greater purpose aligned with his transformation while healing people and the planet. In 2020, after the beginning of his spiritual journey, Brian flipped the keys on a longstanding successful corporate career to bet on himself as an impact creator and align his personal values with his entrepreneurial efforts. After his lifelong physical health struggles, his involvement in the business side of surgery and watching health decay of his loved friends and family, Brian dedicated his impact to build businesses that help optimize physical and mental well-being of everyone whose lives he touches. and use FITNESSISTA for 20% off! and check out Partners: I love being able to see how my blood sugar responds to my diet and habits, and run experiments. and use GINA50 for $50 off.

In 2007, Joel published the very first article to the public on the microbiome and the relationship to weight loss, creating a name for himself in the wellness space. By 2009, he had created the first nutrition system based on gut health to help people lose weight and feel better, called the VEEP Nutrition System, and it was used by large cities, like Phoenix and Houston, as well as large corporations, like Technicolor and a major hospital chain. This proprietary system was also featured on Dr. Phil. By 2013, before any present day gut health gurus existed, he had over 16,000 research outcomes targeting the microbiome for health and weight. Joel’s work has also been featured in several well known media outlets like Muscle and Fitness, CBS online, 24 Hour Fitness Digital Magazine, among others. In late 2019, he published The Immunity Code, widely regarded as one of the most influential health books of this decade. The book launched several biohacking practices trending in the mainstream health and biohacking narrative today, like mouth taping, targeting Akkermansia for gut health, HMO’s, no warm up sprints, microdosing exercise, the use of supplements like berberine and apigenin, and many other biohacks. Joel has been featured on top podcasts like Ben Greenfield, Mark Bell Power Project, the Minimalists and others, for his deep inquiries and unique discoveries known for optimizing health. Joel’s new book, The Way: The Immunity Code Diet, introduces an entirely new framework diet to achieve real and lasting health, and finally puts an end to the dietary confusion of this age. About is the sequel to the influential biohacking book, The Immunity Code, highlighting a framework for a simple diet that optimizes the immune system and insulin family of hormones to achieve lasting health. The Way creates clarity around what, when, and how to eat, resulting in reduced inflammation, weight loss, and a longer life span. The diet comprises 48-hour cycles of eating that mimic natural eating plans—the first 24 hours are for foraging, and the second 24 hours are for fasting, and high protein/fats, as well as taking into account seasons, scarcity, social interaction, sleep, and balance. Joel’s mission with The Way—to put an end to dietary confusion and restrictive food-exclusionist approaches, and instead re-introduce simplicity and dietary diversity.

166: The power of the microbiome with Seed co-founder, Ara Katz 07/18/2024

166: The power of the microbiome with Seed co-founder, Ara Katz I’m so excited to be chatting with Seed Co-founder Ara Katz today.

But the story behind Seed and Ara herself extends far beyond their acclaimed product. Ara is a dynamic three-time founder (recently named to CNBC’s inaugural Changemakers list) who has built, advised, and invested in some of the most notable consumer brands across consumer, health, and tech. Her path to science began not in a lab but with personal challenges –– 20 years ago, her mom’s pancreatic cancer diagnosis ignited her passion for health and science. Later, Ara was introduced to the microbiome by way of a miscarriage, struggles with breastfeeding, and the realization of how little science informed the products she turned to. It was this journey that led her to found Seed Health. Seed has seen 800+% revenue growth in the last 3 years, but it isn’t just a commercial success story; it’s the culmination of Ara’s lifelong passion for technology, storytelling, and design, all harnessed to leverage science for humanity's benefit. In addition to her role as CEO, Ara oversees the company’s environmental research under SeedLabs, and co-directs LUCA Biologics, the company’s venture targeting the vaginal microbiome for the future of women’s health. Now, Ara is expanding Seed’s impact beyond the gut, with its first innovation targeting the vaginal microbiome –– a watershed moment for women’s health.
