When it comes to optimization, glucose is a key vital sign that indicates our metabolic health, and gives us actionable feedback on how our bodies are reacting to our lifestyle factors.

The truth is, we can’t improve what we aren’t actively monitoring, and thanks to Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology, it’s now possible to get real-time measurements and data that helps us make better nutritional choices.

What are the benefits of this data? How do we interpret it and use it to tweak our habits?

In this episode, registered dietitian nutritionist and the lead dietician at NutriSense, Carlee Hayes talks about how the Continuous Glucose Monitor works, and its importance in optimizing our health.

Glucose is our other vital sign that tells us how our metabolism is working. If we’re not monitoring it, you won’t see it. -Carlee Hayes

For anyone walking in consciousness, it’s very clear that humanity has been on the verge of a reboot for a while now, and the truth is, the Golden Age is a lot closer than we think because more and more people are waking up.

In and among all the fear, mental entrapment and paranoia of the last few years, there’s been a real groundswell of people choosing to see and chase the truth, and use the tools of optimization and enlightenment to usher in a New Earth.

What are some of the encouraging signs that some people are starting to see the light? How do we bring more people into the light?

In this episode, I’m joined by performance coach and professional biohacker, Steve Stavs. We discuss the tools that will enable the transformation and empowerment of humanity.

People’s eyes have been closed but we can facilitate revelation. -Steve Stavs

Three Things We Learned 

• The drivers of sustainable transformation
  How do we serve creation at our highest and best capacity?
  
  
• Biohacking vs. augmenting the human with AI
  How do we draw the line between optimization and enslaving ourselves to demonic forces that will destroy the very fabric of our own humanity?
  
  
• The power of biohacking (when done right)
  So many people can’t reach the first stages of optimization because their health is compromised. What can we do to get them to a level where they can accept the tools of transformation?

In challenging times, it’s easy to get sucked into a fear mindset, but what if we can use the power of intention and attention to consciously shift our reality into one of harmony and resonance?

There is a multi-layered attack on our creative consciousness, yet through discipline, consistency and intention we can pull ourselves out. So, how can we move from dissonance to resonance, and free ourselves from everything that tries to distract us from our true divinity?

In this episode we speak to renowned self-starter and creator, Brooks Braun about the importance of attention and intention in order to consciously create our reality.

"It’s a mindvirus to distract you from your true divinity, driving you into resonance or dissonance." -Brooks Braun

  In times of fear and distraction, how can we use the power of attention and intention to create our reality?

If there’s anything the last two years have taught us, it’s that far too many human beings are willing to surrender their autonomy without much resistance. A large swath of humanity is still externalizing its power, and in that state, it’s hard to truly live an optimized life.

In order to break away from this, you have to set the non-negotiable values and standards that govern your life and keep you from the mental enslavement that’s rife in our culture.

What are some of the values we need to uphold as optimized people? In this episode, we have a repeat guest, back on the show. Founder of BSL Nutrition, Benjamin Brown shares the 5 core beliefs he’s committed to in his program and why they are so important.

"No amount of intermittent fasting will fix the fact that you’re miserable with the life you’re living." -Benjamin Brown 

Three Things We Learned 

• How the last two years changed couples and families
  Why do we have to fight the urge to hide behind distractions?
  
  
• How to set a non-negotiable boundary around what’s important
  Devices have excommunicated us from our presence, how do we get it back?
  
  
• Why so many people hop from program to program with no real change
  How do we actually feel worthy of changing our lives and stop focusing on the wrong issues first?
