In this episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Mike T. Nelson, a self-described research fanatic who has more than two decades of experience studying and obsessing over how the human body works.
Dr. Mike has a Ph.D. in exercise physiology, a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, and is an associate professor at the Carrick Institute and a university instructor at Rocky Mountain University.
He’s also the creator of the Flex Diet and Physiologic Flexibility Certifications, has published research in both physiology and engineering scientific journals, and has even been asked to share his techniques with top military agencies.
Today, Dr. Mike and I go deep into the research and practical applications of heart rate variability. HRV has gained popularity as a performance metric, but after listening to our conversation, you’ll have a much broader understanding of HRV, how to apply it to your life (whether you’re athletic or not), and ways to improve your HRV score.
In this episode, I’m back with Victoria LaFont, co-host of the Influenced to Death podcast. Be sure to listen to part 1 of our conversation if you haven’t already.
In each episode of Influenced to Death, Victoria and her co-host, Hannah Wright, draw on their graduate-level education in nutrition and functional medicine. But they’re very upfront about their own biases and dive deep into the research to provide a more balanced view on controversial topics, particularly ones that have been portrayed in a one-sided way.
Today, Victoria and I discuss specific topics they’ve covered, such as The Medical Medium, seed oils, the carnivore diet, the ketogenic diet, and, believe it or not, breatharianism!
I hope you enjoy the second part of our discussion! Be sure to follow Influenced to Death to get more insight into all the topics they cover.
In this episode, I’m speaking with Victoria LaFont, co-host of the Influenced to Death podcast, owner of The LaFont Agency, and someone I’ve been working with for a few years now and consider a friend and trusted peer.
It might seem strange that I’m recording a two-part podcast about another podcast, but the reason is very clear in my mind: There are many highly controversial topics in health science, and many experts cherry-pick and distort the evidence.
Influenced to Death is a podcast specifically about taking on these controversial topics and trying to systematically bring greater clarity to them, in a balanced, evidence-based way. Plus, it does so in a way that’s entertaining and actually fun to listen to.
I know you’ll enjoy my conversation with Victoria, and I highly encourage you to listen to Influenced to Death, as well, to get a new perspective on some of the most controversial topics in natural health and functional medicine.
In this episode, I’m speaking with Vincent Pedre, MD, known as America’s gut doctor. We explore what the latest research and his extensive clinical experience can teach us about fixing gut problems.
In this episode, I’m speaking with neuroscientist Ariel Garten, the co-inventor of Muse, a brain-sensing headband that makes meditation easier. Ariel’s research has mainly focused on Parkinson’s disease and hippocampal neurogenesis, but she also has a background as a fashion designer and artist!
Honestly, I was extremely impressed with Ariel during our conversation; she was highly knowledgeable about meditation and the impact it has on our lives and health, but also because of her integrity and balanced view as a businessperson.
I’ve been using Muse for a few weeks now, and I have been absolutely loving it.
Ariel is gifting us a generous 20% off both Muse devices! >> Click here to claim your special discount on the Muse S or Muse 2 and start 2025 with your new meditation practice.
Dr. Achacoso is double board certified in Nutritional Medicine and Interventional Endocrinology and is a world-renowned anti-aging, hormone, and mitochondrial expert. He also happens to be one of the most intelligent people alive (this isn’t an exaggeration—he’s known for having one of the highest IQ scores ever recorded!).
So, while our discussion is a bit geeky and in-depth, it’s truly worth your time…especially as we condense Dr. Achacoso’s brilliance into practical steps for optimizing your mitochondria and beating fatigue!

In this episode, I’m speaking with Eva Detko, Ph.D., a natural healthcare practitioner, speaker, and author of The Sovereign Health Solution: Heal the Psycho-Energetic Root Causes of Chronic Illness. She has studied natural medicine and the human mind for 25 years and successfully recovered from chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, along with reversing a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Today, we’re talking about the importance of addressing emotional trauma when recovering from chronic fatigue and other chronic diseases.

In this episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Jack Wolfson, a board-certified cardiologist, fellow of the American College of Cardiology, and one of the few holistic cardiologists in the world.
Dr. Wolfson left his career as a conventional cardiologist to pursue what he saw as the real way to help his patients stop heart disease and support them in building true health.
We had an in-depth conversation with lots of practical action steps, and I know this podcast will positively impact your and your family’s health!
12In this episode, I’m continuing my conversation with Tom Kerber, an engineer with a great deal of knowledge and experience in the field of photobiomodulation (aka modifying biology with light).
Be sure to listen to part 1 if you haven’t already!
Two decades ago, Tom shifted his career from electronic to LED device development, and since then, he’s been creating sophisticated tools and equipment to help us better understand the penetration depth of red and near-infrared light.
In our conversation today, Tom and I dig even deeper into the controversies and science surrounding red and near-infrared light therapy, particularly the nanometer range needed to truly penetrate our tissues and experience a therapeutic dose of light inside our bodies.
In this episode, I’m speaking with Tom Kerber, a fascinating entrepreneur with a great deal of knowledge and experience (particularly on the engineering side) in the field of photobiomodulation, (aka modifying biology with light).
Approximately 20 years ago, a series of professional and personal events led Tom to shift his career from electronic development to LED device development (like the small blue light device your dentist uses to cure fillings…yes, Tom invented that!).
In part 1 of this two-part series, Tom and I discuss some of the most pressing questions about red and near-infrared light therapy with a focus on how different devices penetrate the body and affect deeper tissues, along with light therapy applications and case studies.
Tom has been developing tools and equipment to do a lot of sophisticated experimentation on penetration depth of red and near-infrared light (which is a much-needed contribution to the field), so I invited him onto the show to discuss his work, which evolved into a 2-part conversation.
In this episode, I’m speaking with Ori Hofmekler, a guest who’s very special to me because I’ve been following his work for over 20 years! I read his book—The Warrior Diet—when I was just 16 years old!
Our discussion in this podcast centers on Ori’s second book, The Seven Principles of Stress, and his practical views on hormesis, fasting, heavy metals, plant-based eating, and antioxidant supplements—we even go into some of the biochemistry of stress and why it’s so beneficial.
