Are you looking to hack your exercise routine? Do you like to think outside the box?

In this episode I chat with a very controversial figure in the fitness and health industry who thinks almost everything we do to get stronger is either backwards or wrong.

My guest is Dr. John Jaquish.

He’s a Wall Street Journal Best Selling author and inventor of the most effective bone density building medical device, which has reversed osteoporosis for thousands and created more powerful and fracture resistant athletes.

He’s also the creator of the X3 bar which he claims builds muscle much faster than conventional lifting, and does so in less training time, all with the lowest risk of joint injury.

Dr. Jaquish is a research professor at Rushmore University, speaks at scientific conferences all over the world, has been featured on many of the top health podcasts, is an editor of multiple medical journals, and is a nominee of the National Medal of Science.

In this episode we talk about:

What’s wrong with the fitness industry as he sees it
The genesis of his inventions in osteogenic loading machines and the X3 bar
The problems and limitations of weightlifting and why cardio shouldn’t be in your routine
His thoughts on why going to the gym is pointless
We also talk about his thoughts in diet, especially carnivore and OMAD as well as his most recent style of dieting which is inspired by ancient practices
And more

As always, this show is brought to you by me and if you want to take your sleep to the next level, you can work directly with me by visiting https://viasleep.com/.

It’s my new website and you can apply to work with me and find out what is holding your sleep back and ways to get a better night’s sleep.

A Cannabis Masterclass - Historical Roots, Decoding Your DNA, The EndoCannabinoid System and Life Lessons With Len May.

You’ve probably heard of these letters: THC, CBD, but what about CBG or CBN, how about terpenes, or phytocannabinoids?

What do they really mean and how can we optimize our experience with them.

Now you may be thinking this is a weed show for stoners, but it’s not. Not even close!

This is a really fun and intriguing conversation with an expert on cannabis and plant therapies as well as an awesome storyteller.

The market for cannabis-based products has exploded over the years and with it has come more options, more formulations, and frankly more confusion!

I have spoken with industry leaders in this field but when I met our guest today I was blown away by his passion, his knowledge base, and his expertise in the field of helping people heal with plant medicines

Perhaps you may be the type that has never tried it but are thinking about it but you don’t want to be that person who ends up curled up in bed praying for the roller coaster ride to stop!

My guest is Len May

He is a pioneer in the medical cannabis industry, with more than 25 years researching cannabinoids and their impact on human physiology. As a Certified Medical Cannabis Specialist in Medicinal Genomics, Len May has an intimate knowledge of genomics, cannabinoids and terpenes, and their interaction with the endocannabinoid system. This knowledge has allowed him to consult on the creation of cannabinoid formulations designed to address specific health concerns.

In this show we talk about:

His journey from getting busted by his parents to becoming the President of the Cannabis Action Network
Cannabis 101...he tells a fascinating story about the origins of the different strains of the plants and how they affect us differently
Speaking of that we also discuss why 2 people can take the same exact product and have 2 completely different reactions

What to look out for when shopping for CBD, especially on big online platforms
