Ah, alcohol. Enjoying the night at the expense of tomorrow's energy and mood. Years ago, I began researching the best drinks and ingredients [https://outliyr.com/healthy-booze-alternatives-buzzed] that replicate the feel-good effects of booze without destroying my body. I've tried hundreds of products, so I had low expectations for a blend of adaptogen-like plants. Like with most plant-based ingredients, I didn't expect to feel a thing. But boy was I in for a surprise...
Meet our guest

Have you heard of "infoceuticals"? Whenever we ingest an herb, supplement, drug, or other compounds, it alters the electromagnetism of cells. Certain processes start, others stop. The characteristic effects of the substance result. What if we could use modern tools to accomplish something similar?
I tested a few of their products. Skeptical of its effects, I transformed my water into all kinds of things. Growth hormone, cannabis, Xanax, and nootropics to name a few. Infopathy is like digital, 21st-century homeopathy. I decided to bring their founder on the show to explain how this crazy technology works.
Meet our guest
Anton Fedorenko received his BASc in Applied Physics and Mathematics (2012) and MASc in Innovation and High Technologies (2017) from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Russia). For 10 years, Anton has been involved with several water-related projects wherein he not only conducted fundamental research but also developed water-related products and web-based platforms. From 2013 to 2017 he was a member of the organizing committee for the annual Water Conference on the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology of Water. In 2018 Anton founded AshNu Technologies Inc. (Canada) and is currently developing two platforms: Infopathy and AquaPsy.

More perspective leads to more options. This is true whether you're solving a nagging health issue or trying to take your performance to the next level. Our ancestors had answers to many ailments that leave modern medicine dumbfounded. Before Ayurveda, I discovered Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). So I brought on a guest to distill the system for beginners.

He has both a Masters and a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. He's trained in the US and China.
