It’s been a little while, but we’re back with another community Q&A episode! And oh boy did you all have a lot of questions.

If this is your first Q&A episode, all of these questions come from The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group. This is an incredibly curious and smart group of people, so if I don’t answer your question on the show, someone in the group will definitely be able to help you out.

We have a really wide range of questions today, so there’s a little something for everyone in this episode. And as always, I am not a medical professional and I do not claim to be. I don’t even play one on TV. I’ve just been doing a lot of research for over two decades and I want to share what I’ve learned.

 

WATCH

LISTEN

12:55 — James asks: I’m looking for advice on healing from an abusive father

 

20:10 — Listening to spiritual books over and over and over again has transformed my life. I’ve been doing it non-stop for over two decades.

 

29:05 — Michele asks: Any suggestions on how to bio-hack a broken heart during self-isolation?

  • Feel it. Don't avoid it. DON’T BYPASS!

  • Get love and support from friends

  • Find ways to be of service

  • Avoid self obsession

 

45:30 — Jamie asks: If I take my Berkey filter up to a stream and filter the stream water into bottles, is it structured water to begin with and does it stay structured in the bottles?

 

53:40 — Leela asks: Do you happen to know if and how biodynamic farming and permaculture intersect or differ? I’m getting ready to learn about permaculture but would love to understand biodynamic to see what fits my needs/values!

 

56:10 — Brynn asks: Trying to help a friend with some natural solutions to ulcerative colitis. He was on humira and he keeps having allergic reactions to that family of drugs. Any biohacks you guys know of that specifically help? I know stress triggers it... I was thinking of getting him a Biomat mini or belt... what else?

  • Giving a blanket answer to this question is tough because it ignores everyone's bio-individuality. That said, a good guideline to follow would be, as a first step: give the problem some crutches to lean on.

  • This means giving the inflammatory response a break for a moment so that your gut can soothe itself — at least for long enough to absorb the nutrients you're going to need to begin healing.

  • Eliminating the most obvious food sensitivities like nuts, eggs, dairy, wheat, processed foods, nightshades, etc.

  • Once that's dialed in, go a level up and consider removing high-histamine foods that could be perpetuating the inflammatory cycle.

  • And then, once a little more stable, support detoxification by getting in a light daily sweat, and eating steamed foods that assist the liver, like dandelion, artichoke, beets, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, and gluten-free oats.

  • And all the while, prioritize meditation, sunlight, and lymphatic drainage. A light rebounding session on a Bellicon, or even just doing some jumping jacks on some carpeting can be a big help.

  • To dive deep into all matters colitis, and IBD, someone who'd been a well-kept secret here in LA for several years, but is now out of LA, and entering the online world in a bigger way, is a personal friend of mine, Jordan Kravitz.

  • Jordan was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2015, and after getting handed the pamphlets about all the drugs he'd need from the head of the IBD clinic here at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, Jordan laughed at him and told him to keep his drugs.

  • He then went on an absolutely crazy journey to reverse Crohn's Disease, and today enjoys excellent digestive health, thanks to his unique approach to healing inflammatory gut issues of all kinds. 

  • If you'd like to connect with him to learn more, or for one on one coaching, you can check out his website at jordankravitz.com, and use the contact page to get in touch. Or email him directly at jordan (at) jordankravitz.com. Be sure to tell him I sent you!

 

01:02:05 — Well Beings Worldwide asks: Does anyone have recommendations for commercially available red tape? I can't seem to find anything good on Amazon or local stores or even Luke’s store.

 

01:03:55 — Gina asks: Anyone have any recs for authentic kundalini yoga (full classes) videos? 

 

01:08:05 — Kathyrn asks: I had a really clear message in my meditation just now - it was 'Clean your Brain’

 

01:19:15 — Maria asks: Does the sun cause wrinkles? & Katerina asks: I have been trying to find a way to treat hyperpigmentation naturally. It's been three summers in a row that I have the same melasma “map” on my forehead and side of my face. I only use sunscreen if I stay in the sun longer than an hour. I wear hats but still, it has started to appear on the same spot. any advice?

  • I haven’t had the sun cause wrinkles

  • I use lots of essential oils on my face: Osea, Alitura Naturals, and Living Libations

  • Do red light therapy

  • Study the work of Dr. Ray eat: raypeat.com

  • Avoid seed oils/omega 3’s 

  • Liver spots get their brown colour from lipofuscin, a waste material that builds up in our cells as we age.  Lipofuscin has three constituents: Oestrogen + Iron + PUFAs = LipofuscinIn 

  • In other words, the polyunsaturated fats (canola oil, soy oil, corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, fish oil, flax oil etc) we consume in our food (and rub into our skin in the form of moisturisers), the iron we eat from red meat and green vegetables, and the oestrogen our bodies produce naturally combine to form this brown, fatty waste product that clogs up our cells and, as we age, forms liver spots.

  • Where does sunlight fit into this picture? Dr Peat explains that when we’re exposed to UV light, it can cause damage to unsaturated fatty acid molecules in our skin, producing free radicals. 

  • Manage your iron intake. This is one of the most important pieces of the age spots puzzle. 

  • One way of managing your iron levels is to give blood regularly; there’s evidence that this can even reduce your risk of heart attack and strokes. Donating blood can be especially helpful for men and post-menopausal women, because they do not lose any blood through menstruation. 

  • Reduce your intake of PUFAs

  • Increase your intake of vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant)

  • Pay attention to your estrogen levels, for men and women

  • Listen to what Nadine Artemis has to say about the sun

  • Vitamin D app: dminder.ontometrics.com

  • Get Surthrival’s D3+K2 Daylight Concentrate (use code “lifestylist” for 10% off)

  • Quicksilver Scientific also has a great D3+K2 combo

  • Episode 6: The Great Sunshine Swindle with Nadine Artemis

 

01:55:10 — Mazena asks: Male pattern baldness. How to prevent, slow it down and stimulate hair growth? Any supplement, product, treatment recommendations would be much appreciated!

 

01:56:35 — Richard asks: Hey guys been trying out the whole vegan thing while on this quarantine it so far been good but I've noticed at times feeling lightheaded. Anybody have any tips? I know it could be a lot of things but I'm open to suggestions so I can pinpoint what's going on.

  • I’ve heard this probably 100 times over the years

  • Like most experimental, and extreme diets, they often work for a period of time, then the body falls out of balance. 

  • There has never, ever been a 100% vegan human civilization in recorded history, which is why i call it experimental

  • We don't yet know if it's safe. it would take 2-3 generations of 100% vegan people to breed 100% vegan kids, who then breed with 100% vegan people a few times over to see if its viable

  • In my experience, being vegetarian or vegan is a form of fasting, or cleansing which can be amazing in the short term

  • I prefer a balanced diet and to listen to my body and what it wants, since it is its own living organism, with its own innate intelligence 

  • If you do decide to phase out of this diet, try starting with bone broth (no additional animals die to make bone broth) or pastured eggs or wild caught, sustainably sourced fish. or even just oysters. 

  • To me, any diet that is deficient in critical nutrients and thus requires that you take supplements to fill the gap, is likely not a natural human diet because that would ot require supplements like b vitamins, vitamin a etc.

  • Study the work of Dr. Weston Price for more info on the natural human diet and nutrient deficiencies 

  • Check out next tuesday’s episode: Why You Can't Beat Meat: The Ultimate Carnivore Diet Guide W/ Dr. Paul Saladino

  • Episode 245: Wild Fed: How To Become A Modern Day Hunter-Gatherer w/ Daniel Vitalis *Vegan Trigger Warning

  • Episode 94: Why I'm Not a Vegan - Daniel Vitalis

  • All that said, to me, what trumps diet is avoiding non-native EMF and blue light. circadian biology wins over nutrient biology in my book. 

  • get into sync with nature, as nature is where creation’s wisdom lies

02:10:00 — Richard asks: Anyone have personal experience with improving eyesight naturally??? Currently a -2.00 and would like to not have to wear glasses or contacts anymore.

  • I got the same issue from living near cell towers, and doing too much close up device and computer work. you can fix it!

  • Listen to upcoming show with Jake Steiner called: Your Eyes Aren't Broken, And You Can Fix Them
