    BluBlox


    What brands of blue light blockers do we recommend? BluBlox is definitely a go to. The CEO Andy Mant on the show before where we got into a really deep dive on blue light. If you get any amount of blue light in your glasses, no matter if it’s 3%, 10%, it disrupts melatonin production. So Andy has created blue light blockers that hold up to the highest standards. And in fact, you can see he’s tested it versus other brands and that they always come out on top.


    Quality matters.

    Who is Dave Siever? 


    Dave Siever, C.E.T., graduated from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) in 1978 in Telecommunications. In 1980, he accepted a position at the University of Alberta, Faculty of Dentistry, as a design technologist.

    From late 1985 to 1987, Dave provided TMJ consulting services to 5 dentists in the Edmonton area. Over the years, Dave has helped treat approximately 1,500 patients with TMJ and MPD. This led to the inception of the original D.A.V.I.D. 1 in the spring of 1985, which was used in the Faculty of Arts to help acting students overcome stage fright.

    In the time since, Dave has continued developing several audio-visual entrainment (AVE), cranio-electro stimulation (CES), transcranial DC Stimulation (tDCS), and biofeedback devices, with each new development responding to technology changes and market demands. Dave still designs new products related to personal growth and well-being.

    One of my favorite tools for cognitive enhancement, especially after long plan rides, is Blue Cannatine. The delivery mechanism is unique (buccle troche). It is especially effective for me on improving short-term memory, focus, and verbal fluency.


    It’s the closest thing that I found to NZT and I think you guys should try it out. Get yours at https://troscriptions.com/ and use code BOOMER for 10% off.


    Full disclosure: I am involved with the company (I like the product that much).


    GlycanAge


    I'm fascinated with Biological Age. Our guest today dives deep into glycans and their potential role in biological age. GlycanAge uses glycans as a predictive measure to determine your biological age.

    If you want to try out GlycanAge for yourself, or perhaps for your clients, you can go to https://glycanage.com/ and just order a test.

    Water: Everything You Needed and Never Wanted to Know with Robert Slovak

    World leading water researcher Robert Slovak joins me on the show to talk about the things you have to know about the water we all drink.


    Who is Robert Slovak? 


    Robert Slovak devoted himself to the science of water after life-altering experiences. He took his astronautical and mechanical engineering degrees and decided to pursue the research of reverse osmosis with his brother Jack. The dynamic duo were considered the early developers of Reverse Osmosis technology.


    Robert is best known for co-founding Water Factory Systems in the early 1970’s. He and his brother were among the early developers of Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology and its many applications.

    Their successful innovations encompassed home and office RO drinking water systems, bottled water production, laboratory purification, hemodialysis, seawater desalination, microchip production, bottled water production, water vending, spot-free vehicle washing and more.
