Bio Alchemy: The Spiritual Biohacking Podcast

Matt Maruca is the king of light. Well-known in the biohacking world for his intense and deep knowledge on the topic of how natural light is necessary for optimal human life, and how junk light is a leading contributor to illness and disease, Matt has no shortage of chunks of tasty information that need to be implanted deep into your brain. He embodies this as part of his philosophy of sharing as much as he can about the fundamental reasons why the world at large is suffering from an epidemic of chronic disease, with people being at a higher risk than ever before in human history for developing conditions like anxiety, depression, heart disease, obesity, autoimmunity, and cancer. Apart from his phenomenal insights on the topic of light Matt is also the founder of Ra Optics (https://raoptics.com/), a company that produces what are in my opinion are the gold standard for blue light blocking glasses. You may have heard me talk about Ra Optics in past episodes of the podcast, due to their function of blocking damaging wavelengths of blue and green light from your eyes, which is important for maintaining your circadian rhythm, and cellular health.   In this episode, Matt and I discuss the fundamental reasons why natural light is so important for your body to produce energy, what can happen if you're not getting enough of it in your life, the damaging effects of artificial blue light, the links between skin cancer and junk light, what sun gazing is and how to benefit from its effects on your overall health, some simple yet effective tactics to biohack your light intake, and so much more.   This could be one of the most important episodes I've shared on the podcast to date, due to how crucial it is for us modern humans to eliminate artificial junk light from our environment, and increase the amount of good, natural sunlight we're getting on our skin, and in our eyes. Also keep an eye out for Matt's upcoming book called The Light Diet, due out sometime later this year.     RA OPTICS: https://raoptics.com/    MATT'S WEBSITE: https://mattmaruca.com/    MITOCHONDRIA INFO: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/mitochondrion    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/    LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

Her skills and education have lead to her naturally healing a ton of personal medical problems that plagued her for years, including leaky gut, candida, parasites, and sinus problems. Brittany and I agree on many things, though most importantly in my opinion, our mutual love of simple, natural-based biohacks, that are simple to implement, effective, and don’t require thousands of dollars of treatments, or crazy biohacking devices. Via her website at BiohackingBrittany.com, Brittany teaches people how to how to biohack in an affordable and accessible way, focusing on fields like sleep, stress management, herbal medicine, nutrition, healthy lifestyle choices, movement and much more. And this is one of those episodes that if you're into the most natural ways of looking after your fleshy meat suit, you'll be very well catered to, due to Brittany's in-depth knowledge on the subject. In this episode, we chat about a ton of kickass and effective biohacks, including how to biohack your way to more youthful skin using face baths, powerful herbal compounds you can use to enhance your life, what nootropics – or smart drugs – Brittany has experimented with and her results, some simple ways to enhance Bulletproof coffee, evening routine biohacks, some affordable and effective biohacking tools, a hypothetical one-way trip to Mars, and much more.

Vegans catch a lot of flak sometimes in the biohacking world, mostly from those who tend to observe an ancestral type diet, or followers of paleo, keto, or and especially those who abide by the carnivore diet. And while I personally don't believe a vegan diet is the healthiest option for optimal human performance, I also don't believe that a diet that includes standard industrially-farmed meat is either, due to it being filled with hormones, antibiotics, and a ton of other junk. In saying all that, this episode is not an argument for or against a primarily vegan or vegetarian diet, as it's not my intention in this episode to tackle that. However, this episode has been designed to uncover what the science is saying about the compounds, elements, and minerals that someone observing these lifestyles is likely deficient in, as well as how to biohack these deficiencies to optimise your health to the best of your ability, while avoiding animal-based products as much as you can. In this episode, I cover the most common things you're likely to be deficient in as a vegan or vegetarian, what some of these deficiencies can lead to in the short and long term, how to get more of compounds like creatine, selenium, and amino acids into your body, how to do this as naturally as possible, how to supplement if you can't find a natural source, some biohacking upgrades to make supplementing more powerful, some statistics on the average deficiencies of some of these compounds in those who observe a meatless diet, and much more. Again, this episode isn't designed as a tool to try and change your mind or your lifestyle if you observe a plant-based diet, only as a tool to help you get more of the things you're likely missing out of into your life.   VEGAN CREATINE DEFICIENCIES: https://bit.ly/2hwineX  VEGAN-FRIENDLY CREATINE: https://amzn.to/2UBkLm5  VEGANS AND DHA: https://bit.ly/2whVhPQ  ALGAE OIL SUPPLEMENT: https://amzn.to/2Pumb0B  JOOVV RED LIGHT THERAPY: http://lddy.no/7rj1  RED LIGHT RISING THERAPY: https://bit.ly/2II3ztE  AMINO COMPLEX: https://bit.ly/2GxHLNB  BETA-ALANINE: https://bit.ly/2DAvWpl    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/   LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

Kiki Bosch is one of the most interesting and inspiring humans I've interviewed on the podcast to date, and someone I've been seriously looking forward to interviewing for quite some time. And while we've been working on making this interview happen for around three months now, I'm bringing this episode to you only around 24 hours after it was recorded, due to how stoked I am to get it out to the world. Kiki is a biohacker, and someone who believes in disturbing the comfort of our lives around us, to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually, which is something she's found that cold shock therapy is a perfect way to do this. One of the few certified Wim Hof Method instructors on the planet, Kiki has mastered the power of the mind and of breath to control her body's reaction to the environment, and brave levels of cold that would put many people in a state of shock, or even potentially kill those who are untrained, or uninitiated.    You may have seen Kiki on the internet before, as she starred in a viral video that showed her swimming in frozen glacial water in Iceland, without anything to keep her warm apart from a swimsuit you'd normally see someone wearing on tropical beached in the Bahamas. I will of course link to this video in the shownotes for you all to see, and it's a perfect example to show what's possible when you learn to control your body, using the power of breath, and your mind.   In this episode, we discuss a multitude of things, including how Kiki overcame emotional trauma using the cold, the science behind why cold therapy is beneficial to the human body, some simple tactics you can use to harness cold therapy in your own home, as well as some of Kiki's own personal biohacking routines. I hope you enjoy the lessons and insights in this episode, as much as I loved recording it.   KIKI'S WEBSITE: http://kikibosch.com/  ICE DIVING IN ICELAND: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muEMtIdhIv8    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/   LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

Bacopa monnieri, otherwise known as brahmi, water hyssop, or just bacopa, is an ancient Ayurvedic herb that's been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years, as a powerful cognitive performance enhancer. And while herbalists and healers from the Indian subcontinent have known about its power for almost countless generations, modern science is only now catching up and studying this plant for its phenomenal effects on helping us think better, react faster, and learn more. As you'll learn in this episode, bacopa can be used for a range of things, from helping you biohack your memory recall, shorten your reaction time, assist in learning new skills, and so much more. And although it's definitely not magic as I've described in the title, there's probably not any herb that we know of that comes as close to having magic-like properties on the human mind as bacopa does. It's one of my go-to herbal supplements, and one I see myself using for a long time to come. In this episode, I talk about some of bacopa's history, some scientific studies that uncover some of the cognitive performance benefits of the plant in placebo-controlled trials, the kinds of things you can expect when integrating it into your life, what kinds of enhancements of the mind are likely to be seen when taking a reasonable dose, the brain-protecting effects it may have on taking care of your mind now and into old age, how it may be used as a treatment for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and even epilepsy, and so much more. The two main studies I referenced in this episode can be found below, as well as quality recommended sources of bacopa if you're aiming to seek it out for your own use.   BACOPA STUDY 1: https://bit.ly/2KZjWUD  BACOPA STUDY 2: https://bit.ly/2XAsp1K    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/   LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

Lopa Van Der Mersch is the founder of Rasa Koffee (https://rasakoffee.com/), the world's first coffee alternative to offer functional benefits through adaptogenic herbs. And while there are many in the biohacking world who are hardcore coffee junkies (myself included) for reasons beyond just the morning pick-me-up effects, there are some who just can't integrate it into their lives. Not everyone is a fan of coffee. Whether for reasons of sensitivity to caffeine, allergy, an intolerance to coffee on some level, or just because it gives you a serious case of the jitters, there are many reasons you may not be a daily coffee drinker. And although there is always the possibility of turning to tea, for some, tea just doesn't cut it in giving the same nootropic, focus, and energy benefits that coffee provides. Luckily, Rasa Koffee is not only an alternative to standard coffee, but a powerful adaptogen blend that can aid your body in so many ways, beyond just stimulating effects. In this episode, we discuss the herbal make up of Rasa Koffee, what makes the compounds in it so special, some of the health and healing benefits of these herbs, what adaptogens are and why they're so essential for humans living in a modern society, how adaptogens can extremely effectively beat stress, how they can help your body maintain homeostasis, what eustress is and why your body needs it, sustainability in business and what Rasa Koffee are doing to maintain this, how there are almost always two sides to a story when it comes to any supplement or compound, Lopa's morning tea ceremony practice, and so much more. For anyone looking to try out Rasa Koffee, Lopa has also offered listeners of the Bio Alchemy podcast a 20% discount by using the code "BIOALCHEMY" when you check out.

You probably have a cell phone. You likely have a laptop. And if you're like the average human being on the planet, you may end most days staring into a TV. And if you fit any of these criteria, there's a good chance you're doing damage to your physical health due to artificial blue light exposure, possibly increasing your chance of coming down with diseases like cancer, and diabetes. Unfortunately, artificial blue light damage is everywhere. And in a modern society, it's fundamentally rewiring the way your body operates, and messing up the fundamental homeostasis that you should be operating in all the time. This is quite a new problem however, and something none of our ancestor cultures had to deal, as we've only been suffering because of it for not much over a century. In this episode, I talk about the shocking statistics related to an increase in cancer in shift workers, some of the jobs that are at the highest risk of circadian disruption, what artificial blue light damage after dark is doing to your biology, how our bodies are designed to work in tune with the sun, what the sunrise and sunset are doing in terms of setting our circadian clock, how circadian disruption is linked to weight, why you may have trouble losing weight if you spend a lot of time in devices after dark, what green light damage is and how dangerous it possibly is, how to ensure your devices aren't damaging you as much with a few mitigating tips, how some simple red lenses could save you from circadian disruption, and much more. This truly is an episode for everyone who lives in any modern environment, which I would say is every single person listening to this episode.   F.LUX PROGRAM: https://justgetflux.com/  RA OPTICS: https://raoptics.com/    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/   LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

Cami Nicole Petyn — otherwise known as Supreme Banana — is a Youtuber, social media personality, and all-round entertaining human being who has been putting her life, messages, and content on the digital landscape for around four years now. Among also being a published author, vegan advocate, and seeker of philosophy, Cami has an interest in the biohacking mental and spiritual benefits of psychedelic compounds, which is one of the main topic we're discussing today. Not long ago, Cami experienced ayahuasca for the first time, attending a 4-day retreat in Costa Rica to sit with this plant medicine teacher. Although I haven't personally yet experienced ayahuasca, I was drawn to interview Cami for three reasons: first, I've experienced DMT (similar to ayahuasca, but smoked), I've had a desire to experiment with ayahuasca for quite some time, and I'm always extremely interested in hearing stories of people's first time with these intense psychedelic compounds. In this episode, we discuss how to escape the cycle of social media controlling your thoughts and emotions, what is life for an influencer and how unglamorous it can actually be sometimes, information on what ayahuasca is like for a first-time users, how Cami dealt with fours straight days of doing ayahuasca in Costa Rica, set and setting, the difference between a great ayahuasca experience and a not-so-great one, what ego death feels like, Cami's description of "Peach Air" and what that means in terms of an ayahuasca trip, how to know you're ready to experience a psychedelic experience like this, and so much more. One thing that's extremely important to consider when seeking out ayahuasca, is finding a location, setting, and shaman that will correctly guide you through the experience. Cami and other people I know speak extremely highly of Rhythmia, who Cami also mentions in this episode, which I will link to below.

Sulforaphane (or sulphoraphane if you speak the more civilised British English) is a truly exciting compound that is being shown more and more to have almost miraculous properties in terms of healing, disease-fighting capabilities, and longevity. And if there wasn't so much published science behind it, some may think it's witchcraft. But as biohackers, we don't believe in witchcraft, only data, published scientific papers, and evidence, and sulforaphane has it in spades. Found in the cruciferous vegetable family, sulforaphane is produced when these plants are crushed, chewed, damaged, or broken, as a defence mechanism to ward off insects. This is good news for us, as there's an extraordinary amount of emerging research on the compound, including its abilities to fight cancer, maintain mental homeostasis, and possibly even extend life by up to 30%. In today's episode, I'm going to talk in detail about what sulforaphane exactly is, the pathways it acts on in the human body, what the published science is showing about the potential benefits of it, the kinds of foods it is contained in, how to get up to 200 times more sulforaphane into your diet, biohacking the bioavailability of this compound with ground mustard, how it's linked with myrosinase, the best ways to cook cruciferous vegetables to maximise their power, why stressed people may get more benefit from this compound, and so much more. As promised in this episode, a list of ten of the highest sulforaphane-containing foods are listed below, so you can make it easier on yourself in getting more of it into you life.   TEN HIGHEST SULFORAPHANE FOODS 1. Broccoli sprouts 2. Broccoli  3. Cauliflower 4. Kale 5. Brussels Sprouts 6. Bok Choy/Pak Choy 7. Collard Greens 8. Mustard Leaves 9. Watercress 10.

Todd White is a biohacker, forward thinker, and one of the owners of Dry Farm Wines (http://dryfarmwines.com), which is the ultimate biohacker's wine, because of it's completely natural composition, without the dozens of nasty additions that most commercially-available wine contains. Wine is full of antioxidants, polyphenols, and a ton of other beneficial compounds, and many say it should be enjoyed as part of a healthy life in moderation. But how healthy is wine, really? For years we've been told that one glass of wine a day is healthy, and that it can lead to longer life, less disease, and many other factors. And even anecdotally, my 96 year-old grandmother is as healthy as can be, and swears by at least one glass of red wine every day. However, it's very possible that what we've been told since the beginning of food marketing is not just slightly inaccurate, but downright misleading, as in the modern world, most wine contains many things you don't want to be putting into your body. In this episode, Todd discusses the toxicity of wine, how alcohol is considered a neurotoxin, the "Domino Effect" when it comes to drinking wine, his "Profits Will Follow Peace" motto that drives Dry Farm Wines, how genetically-modified products are making themselves into most commercial wines, what distinguishes a natural wine from one that's not, meditation, glyphosate, resveratrol, and how to integrate a successful morning practice not just into an individual routine, but one of an entire company. If you're a wine drinker, regardless of how frequent or occasional, this is definitely the episode for you.   DRY FARM WINES: http://dryfarmwines.com/ NATURAL VS COMMERCIAL WINES: https://bit.ly/2UiTkNx    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/   LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

Chris Storey is the founder of Primal Alchemy (http://primalalchemy.co.uk), amongst other titles including biohacker, philosopher, podcaster, ancient wisdom practitioner, and entrepreneur. And although his brand shares a similar name to mine, our organisations aren't officially linked, save for many similar interests and existing in the same industry. We were connected a few months ago by one of my previous podcast guests Blake Bowman, and have since recorded not only this episode, but one for the Red Pill Initiation Hour as well. Although this episode does fall into the usual field of biohacking, it's something that's a little different than standard episodes, as it centres more on the mind and spirit of humanity, rather than the physical. And although there may be people listening that don't necessarily gravitate towards some of the esoteric concepts discussed in this episode, I know there will be many of you that this information resonates with very specifically. If you're the kind of person who normally discounts the spiritual side of the human experience, I hope this episode changes your mind, as to deny the spirit, is in my opinion denying the most special parts of yourself. In today's episode, Chris and I discuss a range of topics from internal parasites, detoxification and why most detoxes are in no way effective at all, some fundamental principles of human spirituality, how some people seem to be on a concrete "path" while others aren't, simulation theory and whether or not we may all be living inside a computer, ancient civilisations and how they may connect all of us more than we think, and so much more. This is a slightly longer episode than normal, though one I hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed recording it. There's also a little more swearing in this episode than normal, so be aware if that's something that you're not a huge fan of.   PRIMAL ALCHEMY: http://primalalchemy.co.uk/  CHRIS' PODCAST: https://bit.ly/2UU0nAE  PRIMAL ALCHEMY ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/primalalchemyuk/  SIMULATION THEORY: https://bit.ly/2dYqdv6    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/   LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

Chocolate, seriously? Yes, seriously. To many of you listening, this episode will be a dream come true, as I'm discussing the health benefits, chemistry, nootropic effects, and so much more related to that product almost all of us love, in the form of sweet, nourishing chocolate. But before you get too excited, I'm definitely not speaking about inhaling multiple blocks of sugary dairy-milk crap in a day, it's all about the cacao bean, cocoa, and stuff so dark that it would make the Galactic Empire from Star Wars blush. Chocolate has been used for thousands of years by ancient cultures as a tool for healing, as well as something modern humans have eaten in large quantities when we've felt sad or bummed, though it hasn't been until recently that we've known scientifically why it's beneficial. And as you'll learn about in this episode, the benefits of chocolate are far from wishful thinking, as there's an incredible amount of science pointing to the fact that it can help us heal, boost brain health, assist our circulation, and so much more. In today's solo episode, I'm going to talk about why chocolate may help ward off diabetes, how it can potentially stave off brain diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, what anandamide is in chocolate and how it's been getting people "high" for millennia, why theobromine in chocolate is both good and bad, how to use chocolate as a nootropic, elevating your mood using chocolate, why you need the magnesium in cacao, how it may aid in sexual performance, and so much more. There are a ton of resources for you to consume (pun intended) related to this episode which you'll find below, and I'm sure you'll want to digest them (again, pun completely intended) in much more detail. If you're a biohacker, or just a chocolate fiend, this is likely going to be the sweetest podcast episode you've ever heard.   YOUR BRAIN ON CHOCOLATE: https://bit.ly/2intIkP  CHOCOLATE AND VIAGRA: https://bit.ly/2G87EU3  ANANDAMIDE IN CHOCOLATE: https://bit.ly/2DbMWBY  CHOCOLATE AND MOOD: https://bit.ly/2Z83698    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/   LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

Ariel Garten is the founder of Muse Meditation (http://choosemuse.com/), the brain sensing headband that allows you to practice meditation in a way you may never have before. And unlike software like binaural beats that force you into meditation, Muse is more of a training tool, to allow you to become more skilled at biohacking your meditation practice on your own. Using an EEG monitor, the Muse device tracks your brainwaves as you meditate,  giving you feedback on how well you’re doing by providing music in the background. This type of feedback enables you to not only assist you in becoming more zen-like each time you meditate, but also provides you with a ton of data after the fact, to help you understand what is actually happening when you do meditate. This interview with Ariel is one of my favourite to date, and is one I’ve been excited to share with you since it was recorded around a month ago.   CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/   LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

Creatine: it's not just for athletes, bodybuilders, or those who need to get more out of their workouts. For biohackers, and humans who want to get more out of their body, and feel like they have an abundance of energy, creatine is something that's been used for decades as an almost cure-all fix for fatigue, tiredness, or a lack of energy. As you'll hear about in this episode, I've been taking creatine almost like clockwork every day for increased energy, and is one of the very few supplements I don't cycle off on the weekends. And that's because unlike almost anything else in my biohacker's toolkit, creatine is extremely effective, safe, and one of the most researched compounds to help our bodies undergo the physical processes we need to function, and to work optimally. It's all because of adenosine triphosphate, that all-important molecule we more commonly refer to as ATP. Without ATP we'd all be dead, and without enough creatine you don't produce enough ATP, meaning your cells and muscles don't have the basic energy they need to do the thing they need to in order to function properly. And you don't need to be a high-performing athlete to feel the effects of a lacking in ATP, the simple fact is that the vast majority of average humans who don't think too much about their biology or taking care of it, likely don't function on a daily basis producing sufficient ATP. As you'll hear about in this episode, creatine is something I recommend to just about everyone due to its effectiveness, extreme levels of safety, and the fact that it seems to work on almost everyone to get more results in terms of energy, basically across the board.   THORNE CREATINE: https://amzn.to/2IjHmkm  CREATINE STUDIES: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-creatine/art-20347591  CREATINE + BAKING SODA: https://barbend.com/baking-soda-strength-athletes/    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/   LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

Dr William Pawluk is one of the world's foremost experts on Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy or PEMF, which is a modality of healing that despite using a machine to generate the magnetic field, is considered completely natural as it's using a force around us that we've been exposed to since birth. Our planet in itself is one huge magnetic field, and with PEMF technology we're learning to harness a more targeted and localised magnetic field to heal the body on a cellular level. Dr Pawluk turned his attention to PEMF treatment many decades ago after becoming disillusioned with some of the widely accepted side effects of pain management in the general medical field, which was the mindset of most of this peers. With PEMF, he found something that provided phenomenal natural results with no visible side effects whatsoever in many fields of healing, and made it his mission to educate the planet about what this emerging technology could do for the human body. In this episode, you'll learn how PEMF technology can be used to heal the human body, how to biohack your circulation using pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, the basics of ATP and why it's essential for human life, some of the conditions that PEMF can be used to treat including inflammation, boosting muscle recovery, warding off cancer using this therapy, slowing the growth of arthritis and arthritic pain using PEMF, how to make PEMF even more effective by combining it with other therapies, and so much more. If you're interested in learning more, I sincerely recommend you dive deep into Dr Pawluk's website (https://www.drpawluk.com/), which is probably the greatest resource for learning material on the topic of PEMF on the internet.   DR PAWLUK: https://www.drpawluk.com/  POWER TOOLS FOR HEALTH: https://amzn.to/2G8EqWv  LIES ABOUT PEMF: https://www.drpawluk.com/blog/lies-about-pemfs/  PEMF AND ADENOSINE: https://www.drpawluk.com/blog/pemfs-and-adenosine/ CURATRON: https://curatron.com/    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/   LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?
