Episode #205: What Kind Of Sports Drink or Gel Is Best For Endurance Exercise?

In this episode with Dr. Chiti Parikh, you'll get to explore practical solutions for enhancing your well-being through the integration of ancient Eastern healing practices into modern life. Dr. Parikh provides actionable insights on aligning your daily routines with circadian rhythms and harnessing the benefits of mindful eating, therapeutic oil massages, and her powerful 28-day reset. We also dive into the science behind detox diets and the ancient Kayakalpa practice, offering strategies to rejuvenate and revitalize your health. Tune in to discover how blending traditional wisdom with contemporary science can address common health challenges and optimize your overall wellness! Dr. Chiti Parikh is one of the leading integrative medicine physicians in the country and the founder of Integrative Health & Wellbeing at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York Presbyterian Hospital. She is also the author of Intentional Health: Detoxify, Nourish and Rejuvenate Your Body into Balance (a fascinating and resourceful newly published book she and I discuss on this podcast!). Her book aims to bring your body into a healthier state of balance, giving you a better chance to ward off disease and providing you with a deeper understanding of your health. It equips you with all the tools you need to maintain that balance, especially when life happens. You'll learn how to detox, nourish, and rejuvenate, with your body as your best ally. As a holistic doctor, Dr. Chiti does not focus on weight, diet, or exercise; instead, she prioritizes body fat percentage and metabolism, which she will explain during our podcast. She emphasizes the importance of meal timing, intermittent fasting, and overall physical activity on well-being, going beyond just diets or gym routines. She also explores the link between gut health and metabolism, discussing how probiotics, prebiotics, and a healthy gut microbiome contribute to overall metabolic well-being. You'll also get to hear the incredible story of the 185-year-old yogi and discover longevity secrets through an ancient detox ritual that is backed by cutting-edge science. By activating their stem cells, yogis can theoretically reverse their biological clock, rejuvenate their appearance, and infuse vitality at any age. Dr. Chiti personally experienced these benefits, using them to heal her long COVID symptoms and inspiring the transformative 28-day reset provided in Intentional Health.

Dr. Cate Shanahan, “The Energy Doctor,” is a Cornell-trained physician-scientist whose works have inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live-culture ferments, and seed oil-free business empires. Together, with NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the LA Lakers PRO Nutrition program, which has been emulated by elite championship teams around the world. Dr. Cate is back for a threepeat to discuss her new book Dark Calories, in which she introduces you to well-respected scientists who warn that vegetable oils are a public health disaster, wreaking havoc on your body’s cells by depleting antioxidants and promoting free radical toxicity. Their many effects include: Uncontrollable hunger, resulting in the need for drugs to maintain your weight Inflammatory fat buildup under your skin and within your internal organs and arteries Blood sugar swings that promote bad moods and antisocial behavior Disrupted brain energy, concentration problems, and mental illnesses Intracellular oxidative stress that promotes cancer development Gut inflammation, bloating, heartburn, and "the runs" Important protein powder note: During our discussion, Dr. Cate and I expose the issues with the oxidation and processing of protein powders. Oxidation can indeed be an issue for all food and supplement products. This is why, at my supplements company Kion, we negotiate higher up the supply chain to get fresher raw ingredients, have negotiated rights to reject products based on oxidation and use an ISO-certified fulfillment center specialized and certified for food warehousing and fulfillment.

Dave Pascoe is a recently retired network security architect/engineer, who at age 61 looks, feels, and behaves like a 38-year-old.  That's because according to epigenetic age testing, Dave's cellular/biological age is 38! In today's episode, you'll get to discover how Dave is defying the aging process through his unique lifestyle approach. Despite not adhering to strict calorie restriction or veganism, his aging rate reached an impressive 0.66—placing him among the top contenders at the Rejuvenation Olympics (similar to my recent guest, Julie Gibson Clark). While quite a bit more involved than Julie Gibson Clark's protocol, some say Dave's approach to biohacking and longevity, costing him approximately $15,000/year, is quite a bit more affordable and more attainable to the average person than billionaire Bryan Johnson's expenditure of $2 million/year! Throughout the show, you'll get to uncover Dave's daily routine for remarkable health and vitality, from his consistent weight-bearing exercise since 2008 and post-workout sauna sessions to his nutrient-dense diet that avoids calorie counting. As the conversation progresses, you'll also explore Dave's use of supplements like DHEA, pregnenolone, and vitamin D to support his testosterone levels and overall well-being. Additionally, we touch upon the potential impact of cold thermogenesis, sleep protocols, and light mitigation techniques on longevity.

In today’s episode, you'll get to dive into a world few ever get to see... I'm joined by Andrew Bustamante, a former CIA intelligence officer and the founder of EverydaySpy.com. Andrew’s journey from the Air Force to the CIA is a story of transformation, grit, and adapting elite skills to everyday life. In our conversation, you'll uncover the intricacies of the CIA recruitment process, Andrew’s transition into this high-stakes world, and how his experiences have shaped the way he approaches life and business today. Andrew Bustamante is a former covert CIA intelligence officer, decorated military combat veteran, successful Fortune 10 corporate advisor, and a proud husband and father. After 20 years running human and technical intelligence operations for private and government clients worldwide, Andrew founded EverydaySpy.com—the first-ever digital spy training platform. Headlining both US and international media, Andrew’s training events have been praised for their innovative, authentic, and life-changing impact. When he isn’t giving interviews, running spy exercises, or supporting private intelligence contracts, Andrew lives with his wife (also an ex-CIA officer) and his two children in western Colorado. Now, while Andrew can’t reveal the specifics of his covert operations due to a lifetime secrecy agreement, he’s got a treasure trove of general CIA skills and tactics that he shares through his platform, EverydaySpy.com. In our episode together, you’ll discover how these espionage techniques can enhance your personal and professional life. We even delve into the fascinating topic of polygraphs—did you know it's possible to beat one by focusing on the polygrapher rather than the machine itself? Andrew will also reveal why biohacking is a necessity for those in high-stress fields like espionage. He discusses the practical recovery routines he developed while on operations, focusing on sleep, nutrition, and tailored exercise. He also shares some of his go-to practices for managing stress and maintaining peak health, like the use of L-theanine for anxiety and magnesium supplements. His pre-sleep and morning routines are meticulously designed to optimize recovery and performance, providing you with actionable tips to incorporate into your own life.
