Downturn Turnaround: How to Navigate the Economic Headwinds of Covid-19 – Jay Abraham with Dave Asprey – #700

May 15, 2020 by Dave Asprey

If you’re worried about the state of your finances, then this is the Bulletproof Radio episode you must listen to. Top executive coach, marketing expert, and $21.7 Billion Dollar Man—Jay Abraham—joins Dave for a candid discussion about financial health. Especially as the Covid-19 pandemic has blown apart the economy.

“Everyone is shell-shocked,” Jay says. “Even big companies are out of money.”

As Founder and CEO of The Abraham Group, Inc. (Los Angeles, California), Jay has dealt with virtually every type of business scenario and issue. He has studied, and solved, almost every type of business question, challenge and opportunity. He’s spent his entire career solving complex problems and fixing underperforming businesses.

“I have a broad perspective,” Jay says. “I’ve been trained to find opportunity at adversity.”

His forte, which is the ability to think “way outside the box” while thinking “way inside the box” too, is to prepare for multiple potential scenarios. This has enabled him to find (and successfully implement) creative, pre-emptive solutions in order to generate high-performance results. You can, too, even in this incredibly tough business environment.

“You start with nonthreatening, no-risk things, because every day, you could be putting into play one small revenue activity that can start monetizing for you,” Jay says. “They don’t all have to be winners and they don’t have to be big.”

This episode is full of useful and practical ways you can do something about your current financial situation. The opportunities are there if you let yourself think in new ways.

“What you can do from the base of what’s happened is transcendent,” Jay says. “It’s extraordinary if you allow yourself to transcend the limitations of how you have seen yourself—whether you’re a displaced employee, whether you’re a restauranteur, whether you’re an entrepreneur whose business has faltered, or whether you’re one that’s doing okay.”

Meat, Interrupted: How Radical Transparency is Saving Our Bacon – Grass Roots Farmers’ Cooperative with Dave Asprey – #699

May 14, 2020 by Dave Asprey

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, I’ve invited two guests to talk about a different perspective on the current disruptions in the U.S. meat supply. Covid-19 has turned a spotlight on problems within industrial meat processing. But there’s another way that keeps workers safe and product quality high for consumers.

There are small-scale farmers and meat processors providing total integrity throughout the value chain. Preserving natural ecosystems, respecting animals, and protecting the environment are simply the way they do business. Plus, they’ve got science on their side proving why grass-fed, pasture-raised livestock is both the healthiest—and most humane—meat choice.

Cody Hopkins is a physicist who decided to be a farmer, then founded Grass Roots Farmers’ Cooperative in Arkansas and serves as its CEO. He and the Grass Roots partner farms are changing the way meat is produced and consumed across the U.S. He’s focused on regenerative agriculture, animal welfare, sustainability and blockchain technology.

“There is a growing awareness of the vulnerability of our meat supply chain, especially at the processing level,” Cody says. “When one company or one plant produces 130 million servings every week, it’s producing 5% of the country’s pork. That is a scary position to be in and I think people are really waking up to that right now.”

Andy Shaw, CEO of Cypress Valley Meat Company in Arkansas, has more than 20 years of experience in all aspects of meat processing. He oversees multiple USDA-inspected processing plants that service Grass Roots, major retailers and farmers, and private label products for renowned restaurants.

“When you look at what people have said in the past of being too big to fail, we’re seeing quite the opposite now,” Andy says. “I think they’re [industrial meat processing plants] too big to stay continually in motion while all this is going on. When you’ve got that many employees concentrated in one location, it’s almost impossible to keep everybody healthy and at work. We’re seeing the repercussions of having a centralized food system right now.”

Small Tweaks Add Up To Big Health Wins – Max Lugavere with Dave Asprey – #698

May 12, 2020 by Dave Asprey

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest today is Max Lugavere, a filmmaker, health and science journalist, and New York Times best-selling author. His mom’s early-onset dementia propelled him to seek out top scientists and doctors around the world. He made the connection to food in his first book “Genius Foods.” And realizing the needs of the body and brain don’t stop at food, he’s back with a new take on health with “The Genius Life: Heal Your Mind, Strengthen Your Body, and Become Extraordinary.”

Max looked into global research on circadian biology, psychology, dementia prevention, cognitive optimization and exercise physiology. He’s taken all that knowledge and distilled it into valuable suggestions. “All it takes for most people are a few simple insights and a few simple tips to really turn things around in a powerful way,” Max says.

We talk about hacks you can start incorporating into your life right away to build up your physical and mental health resilience.

“The link between exercise and mental health really, it can’t be overstated,” Max says. “And when I’m home for an extended period of time, it really is a challenge mentally. I think this is actually one of the topics that is being under-covered in terms of the media, what this social distancing collectively is doing for our mental health. So, anything that we can do to fortify our mental health during this time is crucial.”

Your Ultimate Guide to Ozone Therapy – Dr. Robert Rowen with Dave Asprey – #697

May 7, 2020 by Dave Asprey

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, Dr. Robert Rowen shares more than three decades of knowledge working with ozone therapy. Ozone is something that is missing from our conversation about how to stay healthy, especially when things are not healthy out there.

Ozone therapy has been used for more than a century and is known for improving the flow properties of blood, delivery and utilization of oxygen, and enhancing a body’s immune system, among other benefits.

Dr. Rowen has established himself as a global leader in integrative/alternative medicine and is internationally known for his clinical practice and teaching in oxidation medicine. I previously had him on episode #352 to talk about how he successfully treated Ebola patients in Africa with ozone therapy.

I wanted Dr. Rowen back on the show now because of his extensive expertise. “There’s hydrogen peroxide, ozone, ultraviolet, and intravenous Vitamin C,” he says. “These all belong to a family of therapies commonly referred to as oxidative medicine. And it is a really natural therapy, most people don’t realize that. Our immune cells (white blood cells) go after infection by making oxidants and tossing them at the invader. Now, if this didn’t work, we wouldn’t be here. And the invaders have never been able to get away from this.”

Dr. Rowen also recently published a paper in the Journal of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology to bring attention to ozone therapy as a novel treatment for conventionally untreatable viral illnesses, such as coronavirus.

“Ozone is reducing inflammation, modulating inflammation, delivering more oxygen, improving mitochondrial oxygen consumption, and ozone itself is toxic, so it kills microorganisms,” he says.

Ozone therapy has stood the test of time in my life and for the last 100 years, it’s the real deal. Listen on for easy explanations and useful information you can use today.

Key Notes

What is oxidative medicine? – 2:32
Ebola, like many viruses, requires an amino acid on its surface. – 5:50
Bottom line in everything. No oxygen, no ATP, no energy. Cell can’t repair, you can’t amount a resistance. – 8:57
Ozone also improves red cell membrane flexibility. – 10:51
What does ozone do? Is it because it’s killing viruses? Is it because it’s fixing blood flow? Is it because it’s adding oxygen? – 13:10
Are specific free radicals that are actually signaling molecules? – 16:44
When you treated someone who had active Ebola with ozone therapy, how did you do it, and what happened? – 23:30
“Where do you fill up your medical tanks? – 33:46
European nurses are much different trained than our nurses. – 38:44
Medical ozone will probably happen in Europe first. – 44:40
Newsflash, the COVID virus is infecting the endothelial lining. – 50:44
15 of 15 cases of viral pneumonia in the 1940s recovered with ultraviolet blood irradiation. – 53:35
He told the owner of the company, Knott Sr., “I’m going to destroy you.” And he did. – 56:09
They were fixing asthma, they were fixing osteomyelitis, even botulism comma. – 58:53
Name me some other synthetic single drug that cures a disease. – 1:03:05
The most broad spectrum tool there is in my mind is ozone. But I wouldn’t throw out anything else that I might possibly get benefit from at some point. – 1:07:40
This is a Miracle,” with a capital M. – 1:10:47

Hacking Enlightenment in 7 Steps: The Dharma and Next-Gen of Neuroscience – Rick Hanson, Ph.D., with Dave Asprey – #696

May 5, 2020 by Dave Asprey

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest, Rick Hanson, Ph.D., is a neuropsychologist, teacher, and speaker. He’s also a New York Times best-selling author of five books that explore topics like neuroscience, clinical psychology, and positive neuroplasticity.

I’ve asked Rick back to the show to discuss his new book, “Neurodharma: New Science, Ancient Wisdom, and Seven Practices of the Highest Happiness.” We cover Rick’s seven practices for strengthening the neural circuitry of profound contentment and inner peace based on cutting-edge brain science. These qualities offer essential support in everyday life while at the same time support the exploration of the most radical reaches of human consciousness. If it sounds daunting, it’s absolutely not! Rick relies on methods and prefers to be in the trenches.

“These are seven ways of being that are perfected in enlightenment,” Rick says. “And then in effect, reverse engineering those seven ways of being so that we can develop them inside ourselves, literally hardwired into our own brain.”

He gives us hope while also recognizing the challenges of modern life: “Our deepest nature in fact has already awakened,” he says. “And yet it’s really difficult to rest in that true nature for more than a few seconds in a row given the brain’s survival biases and then the ways that modern culture floods us and distracts us.” … “It’s easy to lose sight of the peaks of human potential.”

Rick is a Senior Fellow of UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center. He’s lectured at NASA, Google, Oxford, and Harvard, and taught in meditation centers worldwide. Considered an expert on positive neuroplasticity, his work has been featured on the BBC, CBS, NPR, and other major media.

Rick doesn’t use any jargon or pep talks, but instead reaches into neuroscience while also sharing his own journey of practice (he’s been meditating for 46 years!) He teaches and informs through stories, guided meditations, examples and applications. You’ll find this episode pragmatic and practical.

Coronavirus Bonus: The Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Stem Cells – Dr. Harry Adelson with Dave Asprey

May 4, 2020 by Dave Asprey

In this bonus episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest is Harry Adelson, N.D., one of the early adopters of using stem cells for the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain. I asked him to come in for this special short podcast because I wanted to talk specifically about immune function and stem cells, and get thoughts from one of the leaders in the field on stem cells, and Covid-19, and viruses, and immunity.

DISCLAIMER: Dr. Harry Adelson wishes to be clear that he does not treat COVID-19 under any circumstance, with stem cells or anything else. He leaves that to the infectious disease specialists.

Dr. Adelson founded Docere Clinics, in Park City, Utah, in 2002 where he practiced Regenerative Injection Therapy until 2010. Since then, he’s been treating exclusively musculoskeletal pain conditions using stem cells. He has performed over 6,000 stem cell procedures, putting him solidly among the most experienced in the world.

We discuss stem cells and the connections to inflammation from viruses specifically. “Of the modalities that are being studied, stem-cell therapy actually potentially shows the most promise,” Dr. Adelson says. Listen on to learn more about the science behind how stem cells work in the body and their systemic anti-inflammation effect.
