In today’s episode, you’ll get to explore the complexities of ketogenic vs. carnivore diets with health coach and independent researcher Jay Feldman. Jay explains why he prefers ketogenic diets over high-protein carnivore diets, focusing on how they rely on fats for energy rather than stressing the body with excess protein. The conversation dives into the hormonal and digestive impacts of high-protein diets, while also acknowledging the short-term benefits they may offer. You'll also discover how to manage stress through food choices, improve carbohydrate utilization, and optimize gut health. Additionally, Jay shares his thoughts on using devices like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to measure stress hormones and offers practical advice on incorporating more carbs—like fruits and well-processed grains—into your diet for better energy and balance. His bioenergetic approach to health highlights the importance of cellular energy production and mitochondrial function. We’ll also tackle personalized exercise protocols based on individual stress levels, explore the benefits and limits of heat and cold exposure, and discuss the role of caffeine in daily routines. Jay Feldman is a health coach, independent health researcher, and the host of The Energy Balance Podcast. He holds degrees in neuroscience and exercise physiology but chose to forgo medical school after realizing that the conventional medical approach wasn't the solution to the health problems many of us face. After working through various conventional and alternative health paradigms and trialing countless diets, Jay came across the idea that cellular energy is the foundation of health. Embracing this discovery, he now uses the Energy Balance approach to help men and women around the world maximize their cellular energy, optimize their health, and achieve freedom from low-energy symptoms and chronic health issues. Tune in as we dive into the science behind diet, stress management, and exercise to unlock the secrets of achieving your best health!

Carbon dioxide therapy has become a highly debated and often misunderstood topic. Is elevated CO2 beneficial, or could it pose risks? What exactly are the advantages of CO2 therapy, and how might it impact your health? In this episode, you’ll get to explore the transformative power of breathing with breathwork expert Anders Olsson. From the benefits of food-grade CO2 cylinders to advanced breathing techniques that can boost both mental and physical well-being, Anders shares invaluable insights. As the author of Conscious Breathing: Discover The Power Of Your Breath and creator of tools like the Relaxator and CarboHaler, he guides you through the profound impact breathwork has on emotions and stress management. You’ll uncover the fascinating relationship between CO2 and oxygen delivery, the role of nitric oxide in respiratory health, and how specific breathing patterns can dramatically reduce stress and elevate overall health. Plus, you’ll gain practical advice and discover cutting-edge research to enhance your daily breathwork practice. Anders Olsson is a breath coach, author, keynote speaker, inventor, and founder of the Conscious Breathing Institute. Anders joins me on the podcast to bring clarity to the benefits, potential concerns, and safe applications of CO₂ therapy. After living most of his life with a high inner stress and a racing mind, Anders was fortunate enough to come across tools that have helped him relax and find his inner calm. The most powerful of these tools has undoubtedly been to change his breathing habits, which made Anders decide to become the world’s most prominent expert in breathing. That was 15 years ago, and since then, he has inspired hundreds of thousands of people to achieve better health and an improved quality of life. Anders is the author of the best-selling book Conscious Breathing: Discover The Power of Your Breath and the co-inventor of the Relaxator, Sleep Tape, CarboHaler, and BodyStream CO2 Bath. He is considered an authority on CO2 therapy and coaches high-level executives and elite athletes. In 2018, Anders facilitated and participated in a groundbreaking three-week breathing study at Stanford, highlighted in James Nestor's book Breath.
