  • What a debilitating athletic injury in high school taught Ed about the importance of identifying himself by who he is over what he does.

  • How working with orphans as a disaffected young man lifted Ed out of a professional and personal rut and gave him much-needed perspective about the value of serving other people.

  • And so much more!

Drew Ramsey, MD is a psychiatrist, farmer, and author of Eat to Beat Depression and Anxiety: Nourish Your Way to Better Mental Health in Six Weeks. He is a leading voice in the mental health conversation and one of psychiatry's leading proponents of using nutritional interventions. He is an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the creator of the Eat to Beat Depression e-course (use code MAX15 for 15% off).

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How pandemic life has changed our diets over the past year—for better or worse.

  • While certain mental states can influence your food choices, current research suggests that the inverse is also true: the foods you reach for influence your mental state.

  • How BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) operates as an internal coach to keep your brain in what Drew calls grow mode—and what you can do to naturally increase it.

  • 12 nutrients that are particularly efficacious in the prevention and treatment of depression.

  • Why Drew finds plant-based diets concerning—but worth taking a few cues from.

  • And so much more!

The Genius Life 158: Going Grain-Free To Manage Gut Issues, Raising Health-Conscious Kids | Danielle Walker

Danielle Walker is the author and photographer of the New York Times bestselling cookbook Against All Grain: Delectable Paleo Recipes to Eat Well & Feel Great. After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease when she was 22 years old, Danielle realized that she needed to make dietary changes to end her suffering. She removed grains, lactose, and legumes from her diet, and started her blog to help others suffering from similar ailments continue to enjoy food.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How Danielle transformed her diet and lifestyle after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and dealing with a battery of prescription medications, blood and iron transfusions, and multiple hospital stays.

  • What autoimmune diseases are, and why Danielle's regimen is particularly helpful for people who suffer from them.

  • What the initial adaptation from a traditional American diet to one that omitted grains, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar—without omitting taste—looked like.

  • How giving up the foods you love for foods that love you back can actually initiate a long period of grieving, and what got Danielle through hers.

  • How Danielle stays true to her diet and lifestyle along with the challenge of caring for three kids.

  • And so much more!

The Genius Life 155: How to Get Started With Intermittent Fasting | Dr. Will Cole

Dr. Will Cole specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of chronic disease and customizing a functional medicine approach for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, and brain problems, and has been named one of the top 50 functional-medicine and integrative doctors in the nation. Dr. Cole is the host of The Art of Being Well, and has co-hosted The Goopfellas Podcast and Keto Talk. He is also the bestselling author of Ketotarian and The Inflammation Spectrum and the upcoming Intuitive Fasting, in which he shows us how to use the powerful benefits of flexible intermittent fasting to gain metabolic flexibility and find food peace.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • What is intuitive eating, and how does this translate to intuitive fasting as a healthy regimen for someone who's gained metabolic flexibility?

  • In spite of its documented therapeutic benefits, why Will doesn't recommend an unending state of ketosis for most people, but a cyclical (and intuitive) incorporation into a lifestyle.

  • What week one looks like for someone beginning to train their body for intuitive fasting, and why the good habits learned here don't have to kill one's social life over the long term.

  • The neurological and physical benefits of time-restricted feeding.

  • What is and isn't "allowed" on an intuitive fasting regimen.

  • And so much more!

The Genius Life 154: How Changing How You Breathe Can Change Your Life | James Nestor

The Genius Life 154: How Changing How You Breathe Can Change Your Life | James Nestor

James Nestor is a journalist and bestselling author of Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves. His latest book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly over the past several hundred thousand years and is now suffering from a laundry list of maladies—snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, autoimmune disease—because of it.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • The many research-backed benefits of nasal breathing over the habitual mouth breathing practiced by a staggering 25 to 50 percent of the population.

  • How nasal breathing gives us a sixfold increase in nitric oxide, a crucial component to our cardiovascular, neurological, and sexual well-being—and humming increases it by 15 times!

  • Why taping your mouth shut before bedtime might sound like something a serial killer would do, but it can help ensure you're reaping the benefits of nasal breathing while you sleep (unlike possibly 70 percent of the population).

  • The surprising quickness with which the body responds to a change from mouth breathing to nasal breathing (and vice versa).

  • Why, if you have a deviated septum (along with 75 percent of the population), you should see what changes can be made by practicing nasal breathing before taking more extreme measures like septoplasty.

  • And so much more!

The Genius Life 153: The Dos and Don'ts of Fasting, Bulletproof Coffee Benefits | Dave Asprey

Dave Asprey is the "Father of Biohacking" and CEO and founder of Bulletproof 360, Inc. He is a New York Times bestselling author, host of the Bulletproof Radio podcast, and the creator of the global phenomenon Bulletproof Coffee and the Bulletproof Diet. His new book, Fast This Way: Burn Fat, Heal Inflammation, and Eat Like the High-Performing Human You Were Meant to Be, is out now!

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • Where the idea for Bulletproof Coffee came from, what it entails, and why it makes us feel good.

  • How to fast sustainably instead of burning out on fad diets and fitness regimens that aren't meant to be followed for the long haul.

  • Fasting for metabolism and performance vs. (or in conjunction with) fasting for spiritual reflection.

  • How to turn off the desire for food and avoid other stumbling blocks that threaten to wreck your fasting plans before they even begin.

  • Why you should ignore the derision of self-righteously suffering purists who insist you're not really fasting if you use Dave's advice to break the rules.

  • And so much more!

Rich Diviney draws upon more than 20 years of experience as a Navy SEAL officer where he completed more than 13 overseas deployments – 11 of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan. Throughout his career, he has achieved multiple leadership positions – including serving as the commanding officer of a Navy SEAL command. Since retirement in early 2017, Rich has worked as a speaker, facilitator, and consultant with the Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute and Simon Sinek Inc. He is the author of The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • What the famously demanding Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training (BUD/S) really ascertains about prospective Navy SEALs beyond superhuman physical prowess.

  • Why reading the resume of a potential hire's skills is a poor way to determine if they'll make an ideal employee—and what turns out to be a better indicator of their actual ability to perform under pressure.

  • Are we stuck with the attributes we're born with and develop in early life, or—like skills—can they be learned over time?

  • The attributes that make up grit—the quality of resilience that anyone who endured 2020 had put to the test (and if you're listening to this episode, then congratulations: you made it)!

  • The neuroscience behind fear, and how the attribute of courage works to get us through it.

  • And so much more!

The Genius Life 151: How to Declutter Your Life and Feel Truly Free | The Minimalists

As The Minimalists, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus help over 20 million people live meaningful lives with less through their website, books, podcast, and films. Their latest documentary, Less Is Now (directed by Matt D’Avella), shows how it’s never too late to start over with less, and why simplifying can lead us to greater fulfillment.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How Joshua and Ryan's new film Less Is Now went from being "a standup special without comedy" to a documentary they're proud to share with the world, and how it differs from their first documentary, Minimalism.

  • The average American household has 300,000 items in it—but do they make us 300,000 times happier and more fulfilled than we'd be without them?

  • Why letting go isn't something you do—it's something you stop doing.

  • How Joshua and Ryan bonded over cheese-related foodstuffs as fat fifth-graders, grew up together, and went into business as a way to build lives they loved living after discovering the corporate world did the exact opposite.

  • The life experiences and inspirations that steered Joshua and Ryan toward embracing minimalism and sharing the evolution of their lifestyle changes with others worn down by the modern tendency toward excess.

  • And so much more!

The Genius Life 145: Reboot Your Metabolism, Upgrade Your Brain, and Transform Your Life | Shawn Stevenson

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How getting a handle on metabolism can be tricky because it varies not only from person to person, but within each of us from week to week—and what we often do to sabotage ourselves in this department.

  • How growing up in a family that exhibited various metabolic disorders and chronic illnesses ranging from obesity to diabetes to asthma paved Shawn's career path in nutritional science.

  • Why "You are what you eat" isn't just a folksy cliche your mom would say to entice you into eating more broccoli at the dinner table, but a literal scientific fact—and how even our best medical professionals are trained to treat the symptoms of nutritional imbalance while simultaneously neglecting its prevention.

  • The repercussions of being the sickest nation in the history of the world and the numerous ways in which this tragedy is entirely self-inflicted.

  • The silver lining of 2020's trials and tribulations.

  • And so much more!

The Genius Life 144: The 10 Most Important Lessons I've Learned in 2020 | Craig Clemens

Craig Clemens has been an eCommerce innovator, brand storyteller, and visionary builder of category-leading DTC brands for over 15 years. Craig is co-founder of Golden Hippo, America’s largest digitally native brand incubator, which under his leadership has scaled to 800 team members across five offices with no outside investor capital. He is also the host of The Greatest Stories Never Told podcast.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • 2020: what was it good for? Absolutely nothing? Think again! Here's how Craig and I put this year to use.

  • How Craig's morning routines changed when the pandemic came rolling in to disrupt life as we knew it, and what it taught him about routines and productivity in general.

  • How I came to understand the value of quick, 10-minute workouts to break up the day when going to the gym can be risky or impossible.

  • The challenges Craig accepts to ensure that he's staying in control of his health during a time when it's easy to feel like chaos is in the driver's seat, and why he advocates 60-day challenges over ones that only last 30.

  • Why every step matters—no matter how small—and the simple ways I maximize the number of small steps I take over the course of a day.

  • And so much more!

The Genius Life 143: How to Boost NAD for More Energy, Greater Resilience, and Better Recovery | Charles Brenner

Charles Brenner is the Chair of the new Department of Diabetes & Cancer Metabolism at the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope National Medical Center, and Chief Scientific Adviser for ChromaDex. He is a major contributor to work on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide metabolism, and discovered the eukaryotic nicotinamide riboside (NR) kinase pathway.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • What are nucleotides, and why is it important to understand how they work if we want to optimize our health and fend off the metabolic stress of disease and aging?

  • How ATP and ADP work together to drive the cellular machinery that makes life possible.

  • The four forms of NAD (NAD+, NADH, NADP+, NADPH) and their functions.

  • Does supplementing with NAD to boost anabolic processes in your body put you at risk for undesirable consequences like tumor growth?

  • What sets the different types of vitamin B3s (niacin, nicotinamide, and nicotinamide riboside [NR]) apart.

  • And so much more!

The Genius Life 142: The Keys to Lasting Happiness and Successful Romantic Relationships | Light Watkins

The Genius Life 142: The Keys to Lasting Happiness and Successful Romantic Relationships | Light Watkins

Light Watkins has been active in the wellness space since 1998, first as a practitioner, and later as an apprentice to his Vedic meditation teacher, and finally in 2007 as a meditation teacher himself. He became nomadic in 2018 and now travels the world giving talks on happiness, mindfulness, inspiration, and meditation. He also hosts a weekly podcast, At the End of the Tunnel, and his book, Bliss More: How to Succeed in Meditation Without Really Trying, is out now.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How the modern romantic expectation of perfection from our intimate relationships often fails us, and what we might learn from examining what love meant to our ancestors (even if—especially if—it introduces challenges into the dynamic).

  • We share our feelings on monogamy and marriage as a contract we enter for the rest of our lives (something most of us would never agree to do with careers, hobbies, and other pursuits), and how we might find room to adapt within its structure.

  • When we're not in a relationship, it's common to pine for one. When we're in a relationship, we often envy our single friends who get to play the field. How do we find a way to be satisfied without resorting to this "the grass is always greener on the other side" attitude—whether it's with relationships or other situations in which we find ourselves?

  • How Light has found the motivation to send out a daily newsletter bright and early every morning since 2016—in spite of initial reservations he would only have enough content for 30 days.

  • How Light crafts videos that make a point and pack a punch without going off on airy tangents that waste his viewers' valuable time, and what his policy is for dealing with comments these days in a way that doesn't waste his valuable time.

  • And so much more!
