A few weeks ago, I talked on this podcast episode about whether THC can cause damage to the grey matter in your brain. But, frankly, I spent very little time addressing the matter on that particular show, so in today's episode, I'm revisiting the topic of THC, brain damage, liver damage, myths about marijuana, CBD, smart drugs, nootropics and more with Dr. Andrew Hill, Lead Neuroscientist at truBrain, and one smart cookie. During our discussion, you'll discover: -Why left-handed people are more sensitive to chemical stimulants... -The truth behind the evidence that THC can shrink the brain... -The important differences between THC and CBD... -How Dr. Hill can "reset" tolerance to marijuana using neurofeedback in his clinic... -If there is a deleterious effect of THC on the liver or other organs... -How to map your brain and change your brain using neurofeedback... -Little known smart drug ingredients such as oxiracetam and centrophenoxine... -And much more, including a killer giveaway at the end of the show!

My guest in today's podcast is Jim Kwik (yes, that's his real name). Jim Kwik is really, really...well...quick. He can learn much faster than mere mortals. Take reading, for example. Most folks read at a rate of 200-250 words-per-minute (wpm). But Jim reads heavy science material at about 500 wpm and devours light fiction at upwards of 1300 wpm. And more importantly, he can remember everything he reads. I'm seen Jim on stage, memorizing the names of every face in the crowd. And long strings of random numbers. Many people struggle to remember all seven digits of a phone number. But Jim can remember phone numbers all day long. Hundreds of them. But Jim isn't special. He doesn't naturally have these superpowers. They were learned. And if he can learn them, anyone can learn them - regardless of age, background or education. In today's podcast, you're going to discover the amazing story of how Jim went from a childhood brain injury to being one the smartest guys with one of the fastest brains on the face of the pl

Nearly six years ago, in a tiny hotel room lobby in Kona, Hawaii, I met a guy named Gilad Jacobs. Gilad was holding a black box about the size of a shoebox, and had two big, space-agey looking boots with him, which attached to the box via two air tubes. I fumbled my way into the slightly awkward, hip-high boots, then sat in a chair as the black box pumped air in and out of the boots. I'll admit: six years ago it was a little hokey, and I wasn't quite sure whether the things actually worked to make my legs "more fresh". But since then, Gilad and that tiny black box have come a long way. His company NormaTec is now one of the world's leader in rapid recovery, and give a competitive edge to a host of the world’s elite athletes, coaches, and trainers, including... Pro triathletes like: -Craig Alexander -Helle Frederiksen -Chrissie Wellington -Jordan Rapp -Terenzo Bozzone -Mirinda Carfrae -TJ Tollakson -Jesse Thomas -Gwen Jorgensen -Jan Frodeno -Sarah Haskins -Linsey Corbin -Heather Wurtele -Trevor Wurtele -Marino

From Regenokine treatments to edible phytoplankton drops to NFL players traveling to Europe for stem cell injections that would be illegal in the USA, it seems that stem cells are the hot new arrival on the recovery and anti-aging scene. I distinctly recall my first experience with injecting cells into the human body. I was a young, bright-eyed hip and knee surgical salesman, and the company I worked for at the time (Biomet) had just developed a post-surgical procedure called Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). This PRP process involved collecting and then centrifuging a patient's blood to separate the platelet-poor plasma and red blood cells.The platelets are concentrated about five-fold, and then re-injected into the wound site to speed up healing. I later thought this was such a cool process for other issues, like knee and elbow pain, that I partnered with a physician to purchase a PRP machine for treating the athletes and clients who I worked with, many of whom had uncanny and "miraculous" injury and inflammation

You may remember Christopher Kelly from the podcast episode "The Little Known Test That Tells You Everything You Need To Know About Your Metabolism" and "7 Signs Your Cortisol & Adrenals Are Broken". In today's episode, Chris is back, along with special guest Dr. Tommy Wood. The reason I've invited Chris back on the podcast is because he recently wrote me about new methods he's been using to identify how to increase EPO, increase oxygen consumption, beat anemia, boost red blood cells, and get double-digit percentage increases in power and endurance. I'm always looking for insider tips on how to maximize my own athletic performance, so figured it would be a good idea to have Chris on to talk about these new, little-known testing and treatment methods. Christopher Kelly is a computer scientist, pro mountain biker, certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and graduate of the Kalish Institute. Chris is British but lives in California where he runs the functional medicine practice Nourish Balance

Kim Anami, pictured above (yep, she's the one with the weight plate between her legs) travels around the world lifting things with her vagina. Possibly more than you can lift with your biceps. Anami is an intimacy coach who teaches, among other things, what she calls "vaginal kung fu," along with pelvic floor muscle strengthening, how to have better sex, stronger orgasms, and a host of other sexual health topics. Throughout the year, she runs a series of online courses, which she calls “salons”, on topics with titled such as "Vaginal Kung Fu", "How to Be a Well-F**ked Woman", "Coming Together for Couples" and "Sexual Mastery for Men". So obviously, as you have probably guessed, this is a bit of an explicit episode, but in it, we cover very practical material for enhancing your sexual pleasure, your sexual endurance and your sexual health, including: -Exactly how to do vaginal weight lifting... -What it feel like to lift 10 pounds with your vagina, and what kind of weight do you use? -Why Kegels don't work for
