This week’s Q&A is a doozy. You know, when I started doing these solo episodes, I really thought they’d be shorter than my interviews. But, as it turns out, I have a lot to say about this stuff! There’s just so much information out there — and misinformation — and I want to make sure you all get the best and most comprehensive answers I can provide.
If you want to ask a question for a future episode, come join The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group. You can watch the next episode live, ask questions to both me and the group, and build a community of like-minded biohackers.
Plus, if I don’t get to your question on a future episode, one of our brilliant members will almost certainly help you out (and probably with an even better answer). The amount of knowledge and the enthusiasm of members is astonishing, and as you’ll learn in this episode, I have some big plans for the community in 2020.
00:12:00 — Michael asks: Any updates on the aftermath of your Rhythmia experience?
- Since this question was posted, I went back to Costa Rica for four more ayahuasca ceremonies, this time at Soltara.
- On February 18th, I’m dropping a two-part episode documenting the entire experience in a play-by-play gonzo reporting podcast series, just like the Rythmia episodes.
- Then on February 21st, I’m posting a special bonus show where I do a deep dive comparison between the two Costa Rican ayahuasca centers.
- I also recently participated in 3 different peyote ceremonies and recorded a podcast about that whole experience, which will be released this spring.
00:16:40 — That said, after Rhythmia, I would say the changes I feel are:
- I feel much less triggered emotionally
- Psychic wounds are healed; old memories have lost their ‘charge'
- Much less dependent on my spiritual practices to stay connected to god
- I’ve been microdosing ayahuasca before bed, which has helped me stay connected
- Looking forward to experimenting with some other plant medicines when it feels right
- Ayahuasca is not for everyone. It's a serious commitment and not something I would promote. It has to be something you are personally drawn to partake in. But for me, it was incredibly expanding, and something I foresee becoming a semi-regular part of my healing journey.
00:36:00 — Evan wants to know what you can do to improve air quality in your home due to living in LA.
- #1 Plants
- Here are some of the best for cleaning indoor air:
- Bamboo Palm
- Chinese Evergreen
- Gerbera Daisy
- Dragon Tree
- Pot Mum
- Peace Lily
- Spider Plant
- Mass Cane/Corn Plant
- #2 air filters
- Run a Living Air ozone generator in your home when you ARE NOT THERE, then open windows and air the house out when you return to give your house a deep clean, air-wise. Be careful — do not breathe ozone!
- I have two Austin Air Healthmate HEPA filters and a Dyson fan heater, which has a filter element. The Dyson sucks due to it having WiFi, but for right now I’m taking one for the team in order to be warm and filter the air in the living room, at least a little.
- Keep in mind that the air filter business is super shady and competitive, just like the mattress and sauna industries. There’s so much in-fighting and misinformation that it’s hard to know who to trust.
- Based on my research, here are some of the most effective filters on the market:
00:57:45 — Karen comes to us with an important question: “When (not if) Facebook joins in on the great health purge and shuts this page down, what is an alternate place we can 'gather' for our discussions?”
- I am currently equally terrified and disgusted by the censorship of big tech giants like FB, Twitter, Apple, YouTube, Google, and even Instagram. They are shutting down free speech, especially from out-of-the-box thinkers and natural healing advocates like Kelly Brogan and anyone who dares question the safety of vaccines, etc.
- They picked Alex Jones as their first test case, and since nobody in alternative media stuck up for him, they are now going after anyone who opposes the mainstream narrative.
- They are completely totalitarian, fascistic, and absolutely engaged in illegal antitrust violations.
- We can’t wait around for government intervention, so to answer your question, I am currently working behind the scenes to create my own platform, free of the Nazi-like censors on Facebook where we can all interact in an open dialog that is supportive of all people, regardless of beliefs.
- Who knows how long podcasts like mine will even be allowed on Apple Podcasts since Apple is one of the worst censorship offenders.
- I am not afraid, for every human has the god-given right to free speech and those of us who have the courage to challenge societal norms and risk being silenced will not only survive the storm but prosper in the end.
- Truth and love always prevail over deception and evil.
01:17:20 — Carlos asks: “It was suggested to me by my doctor to look into Riboflavin for my tension headaches 🤕. With so many brands out there, what is a brand you recommend and trust? #ThankYouAll”
- Chris Masterjohn talks a lot about riboflavin on his podcast, so check that out. He’s coming on the show soon so I’ll ask him for you.
- As for supplement brands, I get everything I can from Quicksilver Scientific. If they don’t make it, Thorne would be my second choice in most cases. For your riboflavin, Thorne makes a great one: Thorne Research - Riboflavin 5'-Phosphate - Bioactive Form of Vitamin B2 for Methylation Support.
- The issue with supplement companies is that they are not regulated, and as a result, many of them sell useless pills and powders that not only do not work but also contain excipients, fillers, binders, and other crap that you don’t want in your body.
01:23:25 — When I have headaches, this is what I do:
- Find the root cause.
- Constipation is one of the most overlooked causes of many health issues, especially headaches. When you’re not regular, all the toxins you’re taking in through diet and the environment get reabsorbed back into your bloodstream and wreak havoc on your health.
- So I would start with a series of at least three gravity-fed colonics in one week, and work on getting your gut and digestion on track.
- Do all of your functional medicine labs. Look for toxicity from heavy metals, gut biome, fungal, viral, bacterial infections, etc. Then go from there.
- EMF exposure. Test for and eliminate all sources of EMF in your environment, especially Bluetooth headphones, cell phones, WiFi in your house. Check your building for smart meters, nearby cell towers, etc.
01:30:20 — Kari has a question about living in the UK and is looking for a device to measure EMFs in my home. “Any recommendations? I have a RAKO system installed and Nest heating and I suspect there is a lot flying around. Thanks!”
- I would never use LED lighting in my home, or anywhere if possible. Most LED lights flicker. Test yours by shooting some slow-motion video. If you see flashing, that's flicker. It's terrible for your eyes and brain. It also causes headaches and fatigue.
- Sonos, Nest, Dyson Air, and any other WiFi or Bluetooth-enabled devices will make lots of EMF
- Get a building biologist to screen your house. It saves so much time and money.
- Put your WiFi on a night timer or lose WiFi and hardwire
- Remove your microwave if you have one
- Keep your WiFi router as far as you can from kids rooms and your bedroom
- Use shielded fabric to cover your WiFi router to lower radiation levels
- If you live near a cell tower, move immediately, no matter what
- If you have a Smart Meter on your home, get it shielded on both sides, or better yet hire an electrician to replace it with an analog meter
- Keep all electronics away from your bed
- Install a kill switch on your breaker box and turn off power at night
- Install a dirty electricity filter on your breaker box and on one outlet on each circuit. this will stop all the dirty power coming into your house from the mains outside
- Remove all dimmer switches. They turn all power into dirty electricity. Once you remove every single dimmer switch from your house, install Pure Power Plugs on each outlet in your house.
- Pure Power Plugs are dirty electricity filters that clean the power that’s being made dirty by badly made appliances you have plugged in. Note that you only need one pure power plug on each circuit in your house. Meaning, if you have a wall with three outlets on the same circuit, you would only need one plug on one of the outlets.
- As for meters, I use the TriField TF2 for magnetic fields and the ACOUSTICOM2 for radio frequencies or RF. They are useful when you travel to find the hot spots in your hotel room, etc., but better to just have your whole house shielded.
- Shielded Healing has the best EMF shielding products, filters, etc. Use code “lifestylist” to save 10%.
- I have a super sick two-hour documentary video on my own EMF home screening with Brian Hoyer coming out soon! You will learn everything you need to know in that video.
