Clean eating can take time, money, and bore your tastebuds.
Luckily, there's a better way. In this chat with Asher Cowan, we discuss the art of food preparation; easy swaps to make junk food healthy and tasty; the discrepancy between science showing the health benefits of seed oil and the actual results; and some ancestral food tips.
Meet our guest
Asher grew up in New Hampshire and played a lot of sports in his youth.He played basketball at Clark University where he studied Economics and Entrepreneurship.
After college, he worked as a consultant and financial analyst but quickly became disillusioned with living the "corporate" life. He decided to combine two passions of his, health food and entrepreneurship, and co-found Dr. Cowan's Garden.
They started by launching a line of vegetable powders, before expanding into kitchen staples, like grains and legumes, sprouted nuts and nut butters, sprouted granolas, cold-pressed seed oils, packaged meat, and ghee.

Looking good matters. Those that take care of themselves are not only perceived as more attractive (obviously), but also enjoy additional luxuries, higher status, and more.
Did you know that your skin health directly impacts your longevity and even performance? I brought on someone that's not only well involved in the beauty industry, but is well-steeped in the science and a fellow biohacker.

Key takeaways
The skin is not only a mirror of your biological age but drives aging
The highest concentration of senescent cells exist in the skin, and they impact your longevity the most
Senescent cell burden is the only tenant of aging that impacts all the others
100% natural skincare products without stabilizers and other additives will have oxidized and become useless (or worse) long before you use them
Use a quality mineral (physical) rather than a chemical-based sunscreen

23 Hot New Longevity Supplements | Dr. Sandra Kaufmann
Wednesday Oct 26, 2022
Wednesday Oct 26, 2022
If you've taken an anti-aging product in the last decade, you've probably consumed one or more of the following: spermidine, NMN, NR, resveratrol, astaxanthin, quercetin, curcumin, carnosine, and fisetin. But they get quite pricey, and how do you even know if they're doing what you hope?
Our guest this week has the most up-to-date guide, complete with visuals and tables to simplify the process. Making it easy to design your own unique and professional longevity supplement stack. Build to your specific needs.
Meet our guest
Dr. Sandra Kaufmann is the author and creator of the Kaufmann Protocol, a systematic explanation of why we age on a cellular basis coupled with an organized system to delay the aging process.
This theory was introduced in the book, The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How to Stop it, which has been recognized by many longevity leaders as the go-to tome for understanding the aging process.
More recently she wrote, The Kaufmann Protocol: Aging Solutions. Sandy is well respected in the longevity community for presenting viable and scientifically based aging solutions that are available to everyone.
She appears on weekly podcasts around the world, sits on longevity boards, and has spoken at innumerable health and biohacking seminars.

Key takeaways
Free radicals are especially damaging to lipids (and the brain is made of mostly lipids)
Spermidine plays two vital and unique roles to slow the aging process
Naringenin is a potent bone-growing/repairing supplement
Fisetin is the highest-ranking longevity ingredient due to its myriad benefits
Pterostilbene or resveratrol activate sirtuins and every longevity stack should include one
Movement is the very best way to maintain optimal healthspan
Magnesium threonate increases neuroplasticity in the hippocampus (improves memory) as well as reduces neuroinflammation

Interested in longevity and "anti-aging"? Or increasing your quality of life throughout your later years (called healthspan) so that you can make a bigger difference? Advancements are coming fast.
This is part one of an exploration into the new science of longevity and optimal living. We discuss the primary tenants of aging and our guest's approach to targeting each.
To live a long time, you'll need to manage your blood sugar. Our guest this week has the most comprehensive blood glucose stabilization protocol I've come across. All that and much more with Dr. Sandra Kaufmann.

You've probably heard of "the quantum", but what does it mean and how can you use it? Most so-called quantum products are little more than flashy marketing.
So when I read through LeelaQ's third-party research and talked to real users, I had to have them on the show.
Meet our guest
Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling is a coach, conscious entrepreneur, and energy healer. In parallel to a successful international business career, he constantly worked through blockages and barriers that prevented him from truly connecting with his true self.
With that, he started to also see energy fields and developed his unique skills as a healer, and he went through two decades of training in shamanic and other energy healing practices.
During his business career, he worked as an executive for several well-known companies, including T-Mobile International and T-Mobile US where he served as Vice President.

The quantum is the energetic scaffolding behind all (visible) matter
We cannot directly measure quantum technologies, but we can use surrogate endpoints and clinical outcomes instead
Leela Quantum Tech works by harmonizing frequencies to be more biocompatible/bioharmonous
LeelaQ is one of few companies willing to subject their products to third-party testing (Emoto Institute, dark field microscopy, Besa Institute, Bio-Well)
